Chapter 739 Bandits
"General Zhou!"
Su Chen spoke to Zhou Guanhai beside him, who immediately responded respectfully: "My subordinate is here."
"I currently have 1,400 soldiers. If I give them to you, how effective can they be?"
Zhou Guanhai frowned, thought carefully and then said: "With enough training time, coupled with the formation and geographical advantages, we can temporarily withstand 30,000 troops."
Just thirty thousand?
Su Chen was not surprised when he got this result. After all, there were only so many people, and he didn't really intend for Zhou Guanhai to make any big splash.
"Just keep walking."
When Su Chen's voice fell, a man in black immediately walked out in front of him. He quickly arrived in front of him, then knelt down and saluted: "Master, there is a group of bandits in front of us, about two hundred people."
When Su Chen heard the word bandit, he immediately reacted.
yes.
Under this worldview, the laws in many places were imperfect and communication was extremely inconvenient, which led to bandits in many places. Although these bandits could not shake the entire Yu Dynasty, they did exist.
The corners of Su Chen's mouth raised slightly.
Then start right from here and subvert the entire Yu Dynasty.
What I learned about the Yu Dynasty during this period was that the country was peaceful and the people were peaceful, the military was strong, and the people lived well. The conditions were not met for uprising, especially for rebellion.
So Su Chen had only one way.
That is to use one's own strength to forcibly defeat the entire Dayu Dynasty.
Compared with the previous battle, the difficulty this time was not at the same level at all.
Thinking of this, Su Chen directly summoned 1,400 soldiers.
Immediately afterwards, fifty cavalry, ninety secret guards, and more than four hundred dead waiters were all summoned.
I had not summoned him before because I thought it was not safe yet. If I summoned him rashly, I would not have the trump card to escape danger.
But now it seems that it is no longer necessary.
Su Chen spoke in a calm voice: "Surround the front and don't let anyone escape."
The army immediately silently surrounded them and gathered towards the front. There were only a hundred people around Su Chen, but these hundred people were all dead soldiers, and Zhou Guanhai was also beside him.
Even if more than two hundred people encounter bandits, they don't have to worry at all.
...
It's not far ahead, on a country road.
A group of carriages were slowly moving forward, including young and old. They were obviously not a caravan, but more like moving families.
There were nearly forty people in this group, of which nearly two-thirds were women, children, and women, and only one-third were adult men.
Only three or five of them had weapons, and the others were kitchen knives and farm tools.
"Master, do you think the Zhao family will catch up?"
In the carriage, a middle-aged man in his forties looked at him with worry on his face. After hearing what the woman next to him said, he frowned and finally sighed helplessly.
"It's hard to talk about this kind of thing. We didn't take the pipeline, and we took care of everything when we came out. In addition, we took a long way out. Even if we know that we have left, it may be difficult to find us."
Hearing this, the woman was visibly relieved.
Next to the two people, there is a girl who looks to be in her early eighteen years, with a lotus and dewy appearance. She is wearing a light green dress and has an outstanding temperament.
"The damn Zhao family, seeing that they can't compete with our Xu family, actually resorted to such dirty tricks to frame us. It's really despicable and shameless."
Xu Yuheng sighed helplessly: "They all said that the Zhao family was supported by the county magistrate. I thought it was just a rumor from outside, but it turned out to be true. This frame-up of our Xu family revealed loopholes everywhere. As a result, the county magistrate He immediately sentenced my Xu family to death."
"If I hadn't walked quickly, everyone in the house might have been beheaded."
Thinking of this, his eyes were full of fear.
If everyone in the Xu family died because of him, then even if he was under the Nine Springs, he would definitely not be able to rest in peace.
They brought enough food and silver this time and prepared to go directly to Nanzhou. Although the conditions there were a little worse than those in Dongzhou, at least they would not die.
Xu Yuheng couldn't help but sigh again. The journey to Nanzhou was difficult and dangerous.
At their speed, it will take at least close to a month. Fortunately, it is summer now. If it were winter, the elderly and children among them would definitely not be able to bear the trek through mountains and rivers.
Xu Yuheng got off the carriage and said, "Everyone, please hurry up. At least we can't relax until we leave the confines of Anping County. Otherwise, the county magistrate and the Zhao family will not let us go."
Everyone in the Xu family felt extremely heavy when they heard this.
The last thing people in this era want is to leave their hometown.
But now they are forced to take this road. If they don't leave Anping County, they will only die.
The sound of sobbing sounded from the crowd. A middle-aged father and daughter were followed by a child with a baby in her arms. Her eyes were red and tears were flowing down her face.
Next to her, a middle-aged man also had slightly red eyes.
Xu Yuheng suddenly frowned: "Wait a minute."
He took two steps forward, then looked forward with a solemn expression.
A group of people suddenly emerged from the forest. They were wearing yellow satin around their waists and carrying broadswords on their shoulders. The leader had three scars on his face and a ferocious smile.
"Yellow Flag Gang!?"
The moment he saw these people, Xu Yuheng's expression suddenly changed drastically.
The Huangqi Gang was a group of bandits from the surrounding hills, numbering two to three hundred people. They often robbed passing convoys. The government had sent people to clear them out, but they could not kill them all every time.
I don’t know if I can’t do it or if I don’t want to do it.
The Yellow Flag Gang had a somewhat evil reputation in the surrounding counties. Xu Yuheng never expected that they would be so unlucky.
"Oh, I actually recognize the Yellow Flag Gang."
The leader of the strong man had a stern smile on his face, and more and more people came out behind him. It was roughly estimated that there were at least a hundred people, and everyone had weapons. Obviously, they were not comparable to the Xu family.
The scarred man took two steps forward and said indifferently: "Since you recognize our Yellow Flag Gang, you should know what we do, right?"
Xu Yuheng felt fear in his heart, as did many people in the Xu family.
They have naturally heard of the name of the Yellow Flag Gang. These are ruthless people who lick blood at the tip of a knife. Once they have anything to do with them, they are basically either dead or injured.
"Of course we have heard of the name of the Yellow Flag Gang."
Xu Yuheng forced a flattering smile on his face.
"Don't get close to me here!" The scarred man sneered twice. He glanced around the Xu family's motorcade. Although there were many women in it, their looks were ordinary and they were not beauties. There was disdain in his eyes. .
"Okay, our Huangqi Gang doesn't just kill people on sight. We'll give you a chance to live. I'll buy your life with one thousand taels. If you can pay it out, I'll let you go. If you can't pay it out, you will all die here today. ”
One thousand taels! ?
The smile on Xu Yuheng's face immediately turned ugly.
