Chapter 34 Send troops to destroy the thieves

This is the second time that Wu Ji has seen the arrogant and domineering Song army. He has ignored military discipline to such an extent. He is not good at fighting and bullying the people. It is not much different from bandits. Wu Ji cannot be angry.

"If the thief is in charge of the army, he will know how to bully us!"

"The thief is in charge of the army, and if you have a family, go and fight the Liao dog!"

"When the thief army saw Liao Gou, they wished their parents had four legs!"

Looking at the backs of He Wanquan and his friends leaving, the onlookers were talking, and there was a lot of disdain in their words.

"Unpardon!" He Wanquan turned around and glared at the people, with a hint of contempt in his eyes, as if a hunter was looking at the prey.

It's really rampant. Even if you bully the people, you still have to be cruel!

"I will never provide you with weapons. It is best to let these officers and soldiers and Liufeng thieves suffer losses!" Wu Ji saw He Wanquan's fierce look and immediately had an idea.

A person like He Wanquan is not much different from a robber. He often does something to oppress the people on weekdays. One less death will only benefit the people and not harm them. If he can be killed in this battle to destroy theft, it will be the best of both worlds.

After making up his mind, Wu Ji gave up the idea of ​​cooperating with the convert garrison. He used the army's return to Yimai to sell arms, and he had to postpone it. Let's talk about it when he had the chance.

The next day, when Wu Ji came to the county government office, he stopped Zheng Tai: "Sir Wu, come quickly. Let's discuss military aircraft today, you can learn more."

"Sir!" Wu Ji thanked.

As Zheng Tai entered the house, he saw that there was another person in the house. This person was the county magistrate, second only to Zheng Tai. This time the dispatch of troops to destroy theft was of great importance, and the county magistrate must participate.

When the county magistrate saw Wu Ji come in, a small chief clerk actually participated in such a major event, he was slightly surprised. However, when he saw the closeness between Zheng Tai and Wu Ji, he showed no evidence and went forward to greet Wu Ji.

After Wu Ji returned to the ceremony, he sat in the final seat. The people present today were all bigger than Wu Ji, and Wu Ji could only sit in the final seat.

The officer brought tea, and Wu Ji drank the tea, waiting for He Wanquan to arrive. Seeing that the time had come, He Wanquan was missing, Zheng Tai's face looked a little ugly.

After a while, it was already past, but He Wanquan still didn't arrive. Zheng Tai could no longer help but call a servant and asked him to urge him.

Not long after, the serviceman turned around and reported that He Wanquan was busy with military affairs and would have to wait a while before he could arrive.

This time we discussed the military aircraft, we had already made an appointment. He Wanquan was obviously accustomed to the point of making things difficult for Zheng Tai. Wu Ji thought secretly that He Wanquan was really brave and did not take the county magistrate seriously.

You should know that the Song Dynasty advocated the emphasis on civil and military affairs, civil officials were more important, and military officials were less important. He Wanquan's status and identity were far worse than Zheng Tai. Zheng Tai wanted him to discuss military operations, but he was late, which was rare in the Song Dynasty.

After a while, Zheng Tai sent another officer to urge him, and the reply he received was still the same. He Wanquan was busy with military affairs and would come later.

After urging him three times in a row, Zheng Tai could no longer bear it and decided to go in person. As soon as he stood up, he heard footsteps sounding, and He Wanquan arrived with several officers.

Today, He Wanquan was wearing military uniform, armor, and a knife, which was more fierce than yesterday. The few people following him were all wearing armor and swords, which was quite majestic.

"I've seen the elders!" He Wanquan stepped forward and just hugged his fists: "I am busy with military affairs and it's too late. Please forgive me for the county magistrate."

According to the custom of the Song Dynasty, when He Wanquan saw Zheng Tai, he should have a low figure and respect. He did not have any respect at all. Instead, he was a little arrogant and did not allow Zheng Tai to speak. He walked to the seat and sat down with a big golden sword.

Zheng Taiyuan was already angry, and when this happened, he became even more angry. His face sank and shouted: "He Wanquan, you, a small battalion commander, why don't you give a big gift when you see me?"

The commander was the commander of the Song Dynasty camp, with five hundred people in the first battalion. His status was far from that of Zheng Tai, the county magistrate. Zheng Tai wanted He Wanquan to give a big gift, but He Wanquan really had no choice.

However, He Wanquan glanced at Zheng Tai coldly, and his expression was arrogant and unstable: "Hmph! Lord Zheng, you are the imperial official, and I am also the imperial official, so why should you give you a great gift? Lord Zheng, you wouldn't ask me to come, just to give you a great gift, right?"

With a wave of his hand, he sat behind He Wanquan with the officer he accompanied, and did not take Zheng Tai seriously at all.

"You!" This was a naked provocation. How could Zheng Tai tolerate it? He pointed at He Wanquan and his voice turned high: "He Wanquan, you are so majestic! You dare to act wildly in the dignified county government..."

Before he could finish his words, He Wanquan looked up at the sky: "Haha! Lord Zheng, if you have something to do, you will say it. If you have nothing to do, I will be going to do military affairs."

Regardless of Zheng Tai's reaction, he stood up and made a gesture to leave. The officer behind him also stood up.

"Huh!" Zheng Tai took a breath, forcing himself to calm down, and did not go around the corner, and went straight to the topic: "Commander He, I asked you to come here to discuss with you, if you can eliminate the Liufeng thief."

"Eliminate Liufeng Thieves?" He Wanquan raised his eyebrows and said in a deep thought: "Mr. Zheng, you know that Liufeng Thieves are notorious. How many officers and soldiers went to encircle and suppress them? But the officers and soldiers were defeated and suffered heavy casualties. By now, Liufeng Thieves have killed five county magistrates, and there are not more than three thousand officers and soldiers who died in their hands, but more than two thousand."

He Wanquan said how cruel the thief of Liufeng is, but he doesn't say whether he can wipe out it.

"Why commander, Liufeng thieves are causing trouble for the countryside, and they are plundering and doing all kinds of evil. If they are not wiped out, you and I will be in vain to pay the court's salary!" Zheng Tai was passionate.

"Although Liufeng Thieves are powerful, they are not undestroyed!" He Wanquan's words changed and he began to seek things: "You also know that to eliminate Liufeng Thieves, you need weapons, patronage, and silver rewards. Without these, the brothers are unwilling to take risks! If Lord Zheng can give me a batch of military pay, I would like to try it."

"How much do you want?" Zheng Tai asked tentatively, not to give some silver and silk.

"Two thousand taels of silver and five hundred pieces of silk." He Wanquan thought for a moment and reported the numbers.

This number seems nothing. After careful calculation, He Wanquan said this. His battalion of people was five hundred people, two thousand taels of silver, four taels of each person, and one piece of silk, and a considerable amount of wealth.

"You...you really dare to ask for it?" Zheng Tai was also surprised.

"Mr. Zheng, this is only the brothers. I am the commander. The court ordered officials to serve the court and restore peace to the people. It is my duty, so I will not take any money." He Wanquan first wrote a beautiful word and draped himself, and then he changed his subject: "These brothers of mine have all taken a bath in blood and slept in the pile of dead people. I don't want it, but they can't. Each of them has 100 taels of silver and ten pieces of silk."

In addition to He Wanquan, these officers also had deputy commanders, five heads and five heads, which were eleven people. Each one had one hundred taels of silver, which was 1,100 taels of silver, and each one had ten pieces of silk, which was 110 pieces of silk.

Although Guixin County is small, it can still be afforded. However, this is a considerable burden for Guixin County.

If you don’t allow Zheng Tai to speak, He Wanquan said: “If you want your brothers to work hard, you must be able to afford the money! If you can’t afford the money, Lord Zheng, just go and destroy the thieves by yourself! Goodbye!”

With a wave of his hand, he led the officers and turned around and left.

"You, you..." This was a naked threat. Zheng Tai could not bear it. He Wanquan was going to stop He Wanquan, but he was stopped by the county magistrate.

"Sir, as long as you can destroy the Liufeng Thieves and restore the people to peace, you will be able to pay no matter how much money you have!" The county magistrate hurriedly persuaded Zheng Tai: "Liufeng Thieves killed too many people, so why should you cherish mere money?"

This is very reasonable. The thieves are rampant and harming the countryside. If they can be eliminated, even if they spend more money, they will be worth it. Zheng Tai couldn't help but nod and said, "Commander He, in three days, the military pay you will be ready."

"That general will send troops to destroy the thieves in three days! Never break his promise!" He Wanquan said a word and left.
