Yesterday's brief confrontation had already made Pan Luohuan fearful and fearful of Ouyang Xuan, so the next morning, he led his men out of the mountain in despair. Only about 20 soldiers followed him back to Chongqing Mansion.

The remaining more than 70 soldiers, including Tang Xiangwei, chose to stay in Wanjiazhai. These went back with Pan Luohuan

Most of the soldiers were old and young, and they really couldn't leave their families behind. Tang Xiangwei also had family members in Fucheng, but he knew that if he just went back like this, Pan Luohuan would definitely dump the blame on him. According to Pan Zongzhi's mean and unkind behavior,

Even if he didn't die, he would have to be skinned off, and with Yu Zhu's persuasion, he simply stayed.

Tang Xiangwei did not want to return to Chongqing Mansion, and most of the soldiers followed suit and stayed. On the one hand, they knew that they would probably be punished and liquidated by Pan Luohuan if they returned, or at least they would be blamed for not working hard and being unloyal to protect the Lord.

On the other hand, they are tired of being beaten and scolded. Although these soldiers are the elite of the Chongqing Mansion Xiang Army, in the eyes of Pan Luohuan and other superiors, they are just slaves with weapons. They will also be treated by other officers.

Often

Their money and food were withheld. These were still elite soldiers, and you can imagine how the rest of the ordinary soldiers were treated. Naturally, the Perak Army warmly welcomed those who volunteered to stay, so they established a new sixth company of the field battalion with these more than 70 people as the backbone.

, by Tang

Xiang Wei was appointed company commander. In order to solve the worries of these people, Ouyang Xuan also sent people to bring the tokens and set off immediately. Their task was to arrive in Fucheng before Pan Luo Huanzhi, and bring Tang Xiangwei and the family members of the surrendered soldiers to the mountains.

Pan Luohuan naturally hated being driven out of the mountain. He did not reflect on what he had done, but aimed his hatred at Ouyang Xuan, blaming the lack of troops and horses under his command and Tang Xiangwei's betrayal.

He plans to go back and report to his uncle before bringing more

The men came back for revenge. Although he planned to come back, he was not ready to go back empty-handed. In the past ten days, he had scraped a lot of good things. It can be said that Pan Tongzhi's appearance in searching for people's wealth and wealth was extremely ugly, but compared to

Starting from Pan Luohuan’s method of scraping the land, there is

That's worse. Compared to Pan Zongzhi, Pan Luohuan's greed is actually better than what he was doing. In addition to a large amount of wine, he also brought back precious medicinal materials, animal skins and other mountain products, and silk and satin. Most of these things were

Xiong Ben robbed them and stored them in the warehouse.

.Cao Ergou and others were already worried about letting Pan Luohuan go, and they were really angry when they saw that he was so greedy. They wanted to take back the property he was about to take away, but Ouyang Xuan stopped him. He said lightly: "These

The property will make people jealous, and someone will help us."

Pan Luohuan collected too many things. Except for a few mules and horses, most of the accompanying soldiers also walked with heavy loads. Pan Luohuan was not stupid. Yesterday's betrayal and separation made him learn a lesson. He promised the soldiers along the way that when he returned,

Heavily rewarded people were to be given after the Fucheng. The weight of the goods on their backs made the soldiers grit their teeth and make no sound, and their marching speed also slowed down greatly. It was only after dark that they barely reached Hengyuan Village.

The so-called time and time, compared with the hospitality when entering the mountain, this time Xiong Ben saw the panic of Pan Luohuan and his party, and he couldn't help showing an arrogant expression. Seeing this scene, Pan Luohuan ordered someone to bring out the wine to invite Xiong Ben to drink.

Unexpectedly, the word "bear" on the wine jar made Xiong Ben's eyes turn red with a fierce expression. He gritted his teeth and looked at Pan Luohuan.

He left the sentence: "How dare you take my wine?" After saying that, he left angrily and ordered all the wine to be carried away. People had to lower their heads under the eaves, and Pan Luo, who looked confused, turned his face when he saw Xiong Ben.

He turned over the book quickly, but he had no choice but to order his men to take a rest in a hurry, and also strictly ordered his subordinates to be careful in order to avoid causing trouble.

Just because he doesn't cause trouble doesn't mean that things won't come to his door. Before dawn, Pan Luohuan and his people were preparing to set off. The fierce look in Xiong Ben's eyes scared him up all night, and he was about to leave without saying goodbye. Unexpectedly, However, a large group of people surrounded the entrance of the village, accusing Pan Luohuan of stealing their belongings and mules. Several soldiers from the Xiang Army shouted a few words of distinction, and then a knife was cut at him without any explanation, and he was chopped down in an instant. Pan Luohuan fell to the ground and died when he saw it. The hot blood from his hands splashed all over Pan Luohuan, making him turn pale and trembling all over. He knew in his heart that these bandits in military uniforms were clearly planning to rob, and maybe even kill people to silence them. , he shouted Xiong Ben’s name loudly for help. Now only Xiong Ben showed up can he save his life.

Pan Luohuan's crying call made Xiong Ben extremely contemptuous. He thought again and again and walked out of the darkness. In fact, Xiong Ben's earliest plan was to wait for Pan Luohuan and his party to leave the boundaries of Hengyuan Town before killing people and robbing goods, but his bandits were too impatient. When he saw the property, his eyes lit up, and he started to take action before he could even walk out of the village gate. Why did you want to rob Pan Luohuan? The world is so big, do you need a reason to rob? And in Xiong Ben's eyes, these properties came from Wanjiazhai warehouse. It was originally his, but was snatched away by Ouyang Xuan. Why can't he snatch it back now? As for the consequences, he has not considered it at all. If Yongkang County Magistrate and Yao Shi'an cannot protect him, the worst he can do is occupy the mountain and become the king again, and the grass will become the king again. Bandit. It's just that Xiong Ben feels that he is now an official of the imperial court, and he is robbing Pan Tongzhi's nephew. He can't do things like robbing in his own territory too obviously. After all, there are many benefits of being an official. In addition to being able to legally search for money, It is also more convenient to rob passing merchants, and it is more convenient to recruit people with an official identity. Less than a month after taking control of Hengyuan Town, several small groups of bandits have come to Xiong Ben, and now he has more than a hundred people Human bandits.

"Mr. Pan, the misunderstanding is all a misunderstanding! However, these properties are indeed mine, and now they should be returned to their original owners. As for them..." Xiong Ben said to the corpse on the ground: "They are all It was the group from Liuliba who did it, and it was all done by Ouyang Xuan, don’t you think so?” At this moment, Xiong Ben, who had a sinister face, seemed to be Pan Luohuan’s savior. He hurriedly bowed and said, “Brother Xiong, no, Master Xiong. That's absolutely true, I should report it clearly to my uncle."

After being looted by Xiong Ben's men, Pan Luohuan and others left Hengyuan Town tremblingly, and then ran all the way back to Chongqing Fucheng. Pan Luohuan, who was covered in blood and kneeling in front of Pan Tongzhi, looked in a panic and embarrassment. He was completely different from the complacency he had before taking office. He snarled and talked about the matter in general. Of course, he never mentioned the incident of kidnapping civilian girls. He only said that the mountain people were ferocious and disobedient to Wang Hua. Under Ouyang Xuan's instigation, He refused to pay grain and taxes and organized a private army to attack the officers and soldiers, which was no different from barbarian bandits. Tang Xiangwei colluded with the barbarians in the mountains and refused to return to Chongqing Mansion. As for the encounter in Hengyuan Town, he did not add any fuel to the fire and kept it as it was. Speak out.

Pan Luohuan's crying made Pan Zongzhi hate, anger and anger. What he hated was that Ouyang Xuan had such influence in the mountains in just a few months. These stragglers who called themselves the Thunderbolt Army had already become invincible. What he was angry about was that Xiong Ben dared to openly do so. He robbed his nephew and "beat the dog to the master". This small Yokohara prison town was so arrogant that he clearly didn't take him seriously. What made him angry was that his nephew really failed to live up to his expectations. Not only did he not get the territory, Nearly a hundred elite soldiers were lost in vain. The Jiguan Mountain is rich in products, and there are a large number of peasants and fugitives. It is not under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. If it can be taken as private property by the family, it will have the foundation to establish itself in these troubled times. As long as With a good management, even if the dynasty changes, the prosperity of the Pan family will not be affected. It is precisely because he wants to firmly control the Jiguan Mountain that Pan Tongzhi sent his nephew to the mountain to serve as an inspector even though he knew that he was stubborn and difficult to take the lead. But he I really didn't expect that my nephew was really unable to hold up the wall, so he messed up the picking job.

"Although Ouyang Xuan and Xiong Ben are hitting me, they are actually hitting you in the face. Quickly raise troops to arrest them..." Pan Luohuan was still lying on the ground crying, which made the frowning Pan Commander upset. He With a flying kick, he cut off the cry of this insignificant thing.
