Just as the big boss and Tang Tong said, there is no other way down the mountain in Qingfeng Village, so the two bosses fled in the same direction that the big boss and Mr. Tang escaped earlier. They originally wanted to go forward with torches in the dark night,

Worried that the officers and soldiers would catch up, everyone put out the torches in their hands and walked forward in the dark, thinking that it was late at night and as long as they ran a certain distance, the officers and soldiers would definitely not pursue them.

But they quickly retreated, because they were met by a group of officers and soldiers holding torches. One of them was carrying a bloody human head. It was the leader who had abandoned his brothers and escaped secretly.

The second master and the third master were shocked. Looking at the number of officers and soldiers, there were at least three hundred people. Aren't these the same group of officers and soldiers at the foot of the mountain? There were nearly three hundred people fully armed blocking the narrow road going down the mountain. They could still run away.

They could only break up and head towards all directions of Qingfeng Village, thinking that they might be able to escape the pursuit of the officers and soldiers by hiding.

The people in the other four villages were also dumbfounded. They came to Qingfeng Village from this road. At the beginning, the people in Qingfeng Village swore that if it were not for the common enemy, Qingfeng Village would never use this road.

Road. This is the back road of Qingfeng Village, absolutely safe!

Now it seems that these officers and soldiers had already followed him up the mountain when he was waiting for others, and he had already become a turtle in the urn! They should have thought of it long ago. If the officers and soldiers wanted to take action, how could they go deep alone? Qingfeng Village wanted four hundred people to besiege one hundred

Many people are really dreaming!

The people in the three cottages were not familiar with Qingfeng Village, so they could only follow the people in Qingfeng Village. One of them followed the second master and hid in the mountains. The other two decided to go with the third master after discussion, but Xu Huang and others chased them.

It was very tight, and there were a lot of casualties. It was not known how long we could avoid it.

There were also many injured bandits who knew that if they did not treat their wounds in time, they would bleed to death even if they escaped the pursuit of the officers and soldiers. Therefore, 70 or 80 people chose to surrender on the spot, hoping that the officers and soldiers would forgive them and treat them as soon as possible.

.

This battle, which was carefully planned by both sides, turned into a pursuit battle after the boss and Tang Tong left first. Considering that the bandits were familiar with the terrain, Wei Xuan did not let the team continue the pursuit.

They divided their troops to guard the two passages going down the mountain, and then sent an order to notify the county soldiers on standby to start setting up nets at the foot of the mountain and waiting for help.

The fire in the Qingfeng Village base camp burned for a while and then went out. The fourth master Yang Ling and dozens of Wei family members began to rummage inside, and finally opened the cellar where the first master's treasure was stored. The harvest was very limited, about fifty or so.

Kuaijin cakes and more than 300 silver ingots weighing about ten taels, the remaining ones are tens of thousands of copper coins, while the other heads have basically no savings. It is obvious that the head of the house has the absolute leadership position in Qingfeng Village.

By daybreak, at least 400 county soldiers had gathered outside the Qingfeng Village base camp, and the rest were the Wei family members and more than 100 prisoners.

Wei Xuan looked at everyone's tired faces and didn't know what the harvest of the county soldiers at the foot of the mountain was. He was too lazy to continue searching the mountain and decided to go down the mountain in two ways. However, before going down the mountain, Wei Xuan still had people blockade the two roads going down the mountain.

Then four to five hundred people lit fires everywhere in the mountain.

After a stick of incense, the entire core area of ​​Qingfeng Village turned into a sea of ​​fire, and screams of people kept coming. They must have been bandits hiding in the mountains during the darkness last night, and many people were even covered in fire.

They ran in the direction of the checkpoint, but what awaited them was naturally to be shot down mercilessly by bows and arrows. This continued intermittently for an hour, and it can be concluded that at least more than a hundred people died in the fire.

It was not until noon that Wei Xuan led his people down the mountain along the way they came. At the foot of the mountain, Huoshan County Lieutenant was already waiting. He led more than 300 people last night and stayed up all night. They were at the east and west exits of Qingfeng Village.

The net was pulled at intersections for dozens of miles, but the harvest was still there. At least more than thirty bandits who had fled hastily from Qingfeng Village were killed. The county lieutenant was also a man of trouble. He had the bodies of these bandits taken away.

Putting them together, they are clearly claiming credit from Wei.

Yang Ling stepped forward and identified them. Almost all of them were from Qingfeng Village, including Tang Tong!

Knowing that Tang Tong was the contact person between Qingfeng Village and Xiangling, Wei Xuan felt a little pity. It seems that this line has been broken again, and now the only known insider is Wang Yue. Thinking of what Yang Ling said, Wei Xuan

It is estimated that Wang Yue probably hid in Wangwu Mountain.

When the people who went to Huo County to report the news came back, County Magistrate Huoshan accompanied Wang Meng, the Prime Minister of Hedong County, to the battlefield. Wei Xuan knew that these two people were here to share the credit. Wei Xuan was not the kind of person to eat alone, especially Wang Meng.

Being able to dispatch 600 county soldiers was already very powerful. So Wei Xuan handed over more than 100 prisoners to Wang Meng on the grounds that he was the postal supervisor and not the leader of the bandit suppression. Many of these people were injured, and many of them were injured.

Some Wei Xuan also looked down upon them, and if they were killed, they were afraid that others would think they were cruel, and if they were kept, it would be a waste of food.

When Wang Meng heard that Wei Xuan was going to hand over the prisoners to him, he was naturally happy. This was tantamount to admitting that he had participated in the bandit suppression, and taking the prisoners back was his credit. You must know that last night's battle brought the entire Huoshan bandits to justice.

After almost catching them all in one fell swoop, all we need to do next is to pull out a big net at the bottom of the mountain, and then send people up the mountain one by one to destroy the bandit's lair. This is a great achievement!

But next, Wang Meng needs to take over from Wei Xuan and continue to stay in Huoshan. It is also the county magistrate's job to pay for the fallen county soldiers. This time, there are a total of 600 county soldiers participating in the suppression of bandits. Among them, many of them followed Wei Xuan and others into Qingfeng Village.

By 200, in the initial conflict, thirty-seven people were injured to varying degrees and seven were killed. Among the county soldiers who came up the mountain from the east to besiege the bandits, no one was killed and sixteen were injured.

The Wei family's side is better. Except for the seven or eight people who were injured by bows and arrows at the beginning by the people from Qingfeng Village, four people were injured when Xu Huang led the attack, and most of the rest were intact.

The Wei family and Wei Xuan will naturally not be stingy. Everyone participating in the battle this time will receive between 3,000 and 20,000 yuan depending on their contribution. This time, the role of the forty war horses is once again highlighted. The rapid movement at the foot of the mountain will lead to people descending the mountain.

The chief's men killed them, and then transported thirty or forty county soldiers* to the mountain, preventing Xu Huang and others from being surrounded by bandits. So he thought about whether to immediately send people to the north to find the Huns to buy some war-worthy horses.

Enrich the Wei family's escort team.

Wei Xuan rested in Huo County for two days. The results of Wang Meng's mountain search also came out. A total of more than 120 corpses of bandits were found, plus the captured prisoners and the corpses of bandits on site. According to what Baihutang learned,

According to intelligence, a total of about twenty of the five bandits in Huoshan escaped! Being able to annihilate all the bandits in one fell swoop despite the large number of bandits, complex terrain, and scattered distribution, Wei Xuan can also proudly claim to the outside world those who violated the Wei family.

Even if he is far away, he will be killed!

As another hero of this bandit suppression, the fourth leader of Qingfeng Village successfully brought the team into Qingfeng Village. Although there were many dangers, Yang Ling did not expose the identities of Wei Xuan and others in advance or tell the news along the way. Wei Xuan realized

He broke his previous promise and interceded for Yang Ling with the county magistrate and county lieutenant of Huo County, so that Yang Ling and his more than 20 men could be cleared of being bandits. At the same time, he promised to retry the case back then, and his family members who were still alive in the near future would

Yang Ling was also filled with emotion over the possibility of being reunited with Yang Ling. It was a big gamble. Fortunately, the second son of the Wei family won the battle arrogantly, and Yang Ling became a member of the winning side. The five people in Qingfeng Village

The other four heads of the family all died as he had expected. Even the head master and Mr. Tang, who were the first to escape, were no exception. He had to lament that sometimes choices are important.

Although Huo County recognized their contribution, Yang Ling and others had already been ruined and had nowhere to go, so they begged Wei Xuan to work in the Wei family. Wei Xuan happened to be recruiting guests aggressively, so he asked them to go to Anyi

Go to report to Baishu. After hearing about the treatment of the Wei family escort team, Yang Ling and his more than 20 brothers couldn't help but be overjoyed.

The news that Wei Xuan led his guests and county troops to annihilate all the bandits came back to Anyi, and the prefect's mansion was shaken again. Wei Xuan's letter to the prefect Yin De said that the county prime minister Wang Meng was dispatched from it, and the county magistrate of Huo County and the county lieutenant Cong'ang

He helped Yunyun, but then Wang Meng's letter let Yinde know the details of this incident. Thinking of Wei Jiazi's ruthless methods, he became more and more suspicious that Wei Xuan was responsible for what happened in Xiangling.

The positions of Gongcao, Zhubo and Duyou, who were of low rank but with great power, were all in the hands of the Wei family and the Pei family. The prefect always felt strange, especially Duyou Wei Xuan. Originally, everyone thought that

Wei Xuanhui was living in Anyi to take care of himself, but in less than half a month, major incidents happened one after another in Xiangling and Huoshan. It seemed that the Wei family was involved, but the leader was Wei Xuan. If they knew that Wei Xuan still had people with him,

After cutting down the yellow wheat in Yang County, I guess my mood will be even more complicated.

However, the whole of Anyi and even Hedong soon learned the news that the Hedong prefect had wiped out the Huoshan bandits. Many people were speculating that this was the revenge of the Wei family! Such an upright and brutal revenge was shocking! It also made the whole of Hedong see the Wei family's revenge.

The true strength of the family. At the same time, I also saw the bravery of the humble gentleman who studied under Zheng Kangcheng! Many young knights learned that the Wei family was recruiting guests, and they went there one after another.

The Wei family was greatly encouraged when the Huoshan bandits were annihilated by Wei Xuan, especially the younger generation of Wei Xuan's brothers. Wei Xuan used actions to tell them how to treat the enemies who came to bully the family! That is

Kill them all!

However, Taishi Wei Su was not happy. First, Wei She's letter to him said that the second young master entered Qingfeng Village at personal risk, and Wei Xuan mentioned in the letter that Tang Tong did not leave any more information before his death.

The clue provided by Yang Ling was that Qingfeng Village planned to move after killing the caravan prepared by Wei Xuan. Wei Xuan also suspected that Wang Yue was hiding on Wangwu Mountain.

Wang Yue did not save the Wei family, especially the injuries to Tong Yuan and Wei Tong. Two of the three sons of the current head of the Wei family were injured at the hands of Wang Yue. This hatred became deeper and deeper. At the same time, Wei Su became more and more worried, especially

It was the second son, Wei Xuan, who was the one who stole the show, but his skills were far inferior to those of the third son, Wei Tong.
