After the bandits of the Black Scorpion tribe swept the entire Shan County, they pretended to stay in the southern part of Shan County for three days and made a gesture of returning to Henan. Then, under the leadership of Monk An, they took advantage of the night to raid Jinxiang County in the northeast.

At dawn, more than 5,000 bandits finally arrived at Jilizhai, Jinxiang County.

Everyone could see from a distance that the village opposite seemed to have not woken up from sleep and was still in tranquility. Several farmers carrying hoes and loads were walking around the village, as if they were planning to work in the village.

"The Grand Marshal, Jilizhai is ahead, which is the largest town in Jinxiang County. The land is fertile and the grain reserves are abundant. There are also several rich men. The Grand Marshal, the villagers are walking around in front, which means that they have returned home after hearing that we are about to return to Henan. Now, it is the best time for our army to take action."

After Monk An finished speaking in a hurry, the black scorpion couldn't help swallowing.

"Damn it, I finally found a fat sheep! Brothers, fuck you guys, go to a certain family, wealth and wealth are just around the corner, rush!" The black scorpion shouted suddenly and took the lead in pulling out his waist knife.

"Crash!" The bandit generals such as the mountain tiger, Yi Keqiang and other hair also shouted.

In the eyes of every bandit, there was a ray of greed and thirsty light. Everyone was clamoring and waving their swords and guns, and rushed in from the entrance of the village like a swarm.

A Qianli Mile Mile Mile hiding behind a house is paying close attention to these bandits rushing into the village.

After putting down the mirror, a handsome and sharp-eyed face appeared. At this moment, a faint smile appeared on this face.

This person is Li Xiao.

After a long period of planning and control, today it is finally time to close the net.

The secret whistles of the Security Department had secretly contacted Monk An. He asked him to bring all the bandits to Jili Village, Jinxiang County, where Li Xiaojun set up an ambush.

The farmers who were wandering in the village just now were all pretending to be safety guards. In fact, the people of the whole village have been transferred, and now all the exits of the village have been surrounded, leaving only the entrances to enter. This is a standard ambush formation for asking you to get into the trap.

Li Xiao could see clearly that there were only more than 100 cavalrymen in the bandits, and the rest were infantrymen. Those who were wearing broken armor and had better weapons should be the most core bandit camp. And those who did not have any armor, only one weapon were the bandits' new army and the people who had just been covered with the siege.

The Black Scorpion Department all rushed into the village, and they were surprised to find that the village where the people were supposed to be frightened and the people cried and ran for their lives was still silent.

At this time, it was already bright and the black scorpion looked around. The farmers had long disappeared.

With rich combat experience, he seemed to have had a premonition of something, and his pupils suddenly shrank.

He hurriedly glanced around and immediately found that Monk An and his dozens of bandits who came to surrender were gone.

The black scorpion understood everything in an instant.

Damn, it turns out that I have long become someone else’s pawn!

Monk An, you bastard, you have made me so hard to cheat!

"Monkey An, get out of here! I've been deceived by you!" The black scorpion let out an almost desperate roar.

No one answered him, but from all the exits of the village, the sound of neat footsteps and the sound of armor rubbing.

"Retreat quickly!" The black scorpion pulled his horse's head and shouted loudly.

It's too late.

Each of them was a bandit with a panic look on his face. Before he could take action, he could hear a neat "boom" sound behind him. Looking back, a row of more than 100 shield soldiers had blocked the retreat path of the village entrance.

The black scorpion's heart suddenly felt like it was sinking into the bottom of an ice abyss.

It's over, dumplings are completely made.

"Master, look, there are people on the roof over there." The Huo's voice shivered.

The black scorpion let out a thud, turned his head suddenly, and immediately saw sixty gunmen holding slender and black Rumi guns on the roof of the ancestral hall in the distance. The fuse hanging on the guns was burning loudly, and each gunmen aimed at him without saying a word.

The bandits were suddenly in a state of great excitement, and everyone's faces were filled with despair.

In a suffocating silence, a slight sound of horse hooves suddenly came.

"Master, look, someone is coming over there. It must be the leader of these officials." Yi Renzi said in horror.

He was right. At this time, Li Xiao, under the escort of Monk Tian Wei'an and others, stood behind a row of shield soldiers in front of Hei Scorpion.

Looking at Monk An who was standing proudly with Li Xiao, Black Scorpion gritted his teeth with hatred.

"Are you that black scorpion?" Li Xiao asked in a plain tone.

"It's a certain family, which Ming dog are you?" Black Scorpion shouted loudly.

"Li Xiao is the chief general of the Ming army. Today I will meet the black leader here, so I'm lucky to meet him." Li Xiao smiled on his face.

"Stop talking nonsense. Our army is in a traitor, and I regret not being able to do it. If you want to fight, you will be very trembling!" The black scorpion still had strong teeth and hard teeth.

"Hmph, Black Scorpion, you are now surrounded by our army, and there is no reason to escape. I advise you to recognize the situation and surrender as soon as possible. Otherwise, I will definitely take the life of you and your subordinates!" Li Xiao said this, his face was already showing a ferocious look.

"Haha, I have never surrendered from Shaanxi to Shandong! This time, I will fight you to the death!" The black scorpion raised his knife and shouted: "Raise! Kill the Ming Dog!"

"Crash!" The bandits started to clamor again, and were led by more than a hundred cavalrymen. The bandits rushed towards Li Xiao's position like crazy.

Li Xiao waved his hand expressionlessly.

Like dense burst beans, more than forty hairpins sounded at sixty Lumi hairpins, and bright red flames appeared in the thick and choking smoke screen. More than forty small lead bullets weighing three cents were made of slight roars like the laughter of death, and rushed towards the direction of the black scorpion.

The lucky guards and cavalrymen next to the Black Scorpion, who were lucky enough to be shot, were frightened to see that many small blood flowers suddenly bloomed on the black Scorpion's back and under his crotch. The Black Scorpion shook for a moment, without saying a word, and fell down with his sarcastic mount.

More than a dozen other cavalrymen with bad luck were also shot and fell off the horse screaming.

The black scorpion, pressed under his body by the mount that was still twitching and crying, died silently.

The bandits rushing forward suddenly stopped. Everyone was stunned at this moment.

"Do you want to surrender?" Monk An roared like thunder, exploding in the ears of every bandit.

“Subsequently or not!”

“Subsequently or not!”

“Subsequently or not!”

......

All the Li Xiao and hissed and shouted loudly together, and the continuous shouts were like spring thunder, making the sky in Jili Village tremble.

"Submitted! Sir, we have surrendered!"

The sound of swords and swords were thrown down, the sound of kneeling, as well as the low crying and scolding, suddenly sounded.

This battle, which had been planned for nearly a month, ended in just over ten minutes.

Tian Wei, the general leader, looked regretful, and he spat in anger: "What a fucking group of cowards! He surrendered after a rogue of guns. My knife's head has not yet been bleeding."

Li Xiaojun did not suffer any casualties. In addition to killing and injuring more than a dozen bandit cavalry, a total of 5,340 bandits were arrested, 112 available war horses, hundreds of pieces of ragged armor, and thousands of swords, guns and shields were seized.

The next step is to set aside the bandits.

With the monk An who had fought within the bandits of the Black Scorpion tribe, the screening work was carried out very smoothly.

A total of twenty-nine people were all covered with blood from the good people, such as a tiger, a hair, and a total of twenty-nine people, all of whom were knelt on the ground in a row and then killed on the spot.

With a call, the sword light flew together, and twenty-nine heads fell to the ground instantly, and the blood gushed out from the neck dyed the dark yellow land bright red.

All the Li Xiao soldiers who watched were expressionless. The detained bandits who were ordered by Li Xiaoqiang to see that these bandits who had done all their bad things and were once arrogant in front of them were all different from their bodies and heads, and everyone was as beautiful as earth.

Some old camp soldiers in Shaanxi who were originally thinking of running away in the chaos, saw this terrifying scene, no one dared to joke about their lives.

This is the effect Li Xiao wanted to achieve, killing chickens and scaring monkeys, so that these fierce bandits would no longer have the fighting spirit of resistance.

Soon, other results were reported.

The old camp had a total of 1,065 soldiers, and more than 2,000 new soldiers. The rest were all the people of Henan who were recently covered in trouble.

Li Xiao ordered that all the old camp soldiers and the new affiliated soldiers be detained, and that those who were trapped in the brigade, Li Xiao planned to let them go home by themselves.

What he didn't expect was that when he heard that Li Xiao was going to let them go, the people knelt down and refused to get up.

"Mr. Li, our hometown in Henan has all been burned and plundered. We are already homeless. Please beg for your kindness and take us in. We can do anything, and we can stutter!" Several young and older men bowed to Li Xiao and bowed.

Li Xiao sighed, helped him for a while, and said, "Everyone, the old saying goes, save people to the end. Since you can trust Li, then stay here. This official will definitely give the adult a way out."

Hearing Li Xiao's words, the people who were kneeling on the ground burst into tears, thanking Li Xiao for his life.

Li Xiaofang asked them to retreat, and a soldier came to report: "Sir, Lord Ni Cheng, the governor of Yanzhou, is here."

Li Xiao quickly led the generals to greet him.

Ni Cheng, whose courtesy name was Dengfu, was from Julu, Northern Zhili. He was a Jinshi during the Chongzhen period. In the fifth year of Chongzhen, because his former prefect Wang Changgan and Lu King Zhu Shouyou had a disagreement, he worked as a prefect for less than a month, he was falsely accused by Zhu Shouyou and finally died on his way to exile. Ni Cheng took over.

Ni Cheng was a man who was much smoother than his former prefect Wang Changgan, who had a straightforward personality. He was neither humble nor arrogant, and was gentle and moderate. However, this person was very independent and very quick in his heart. When the Qing army invaded Shandong in the 11th year of Chongzhen, it was this person who led the Yanzhou soldiers and generals to defend their strength to defeat the attacking Qing army and ensured that the Yanzhou Prefecture City was not lost. Zhu Shouyong, who was the King of Lu at the time, cried and said, "If it were not for Ni Gong's life to help me, my united palace would be destroyed."

Nicheng finally died of illness in the 13th year of Chongzhen due to excessive labor. After his death, the people of Yanzhou raised funds to erect a monument for him, and the inscription was written by the literary master Fan Shutai.

Li Xiao and Ni Cheng had already dealt with each other some time ago, and were deeply impressed by this smart, capable and kind prefect of Yanzhou. After the first meeting, the two soon spoke very happily. Ni Cheng also agreed to the issue of providing food and supplies that Li Xiao asked for.

Nicheng even felt like he had taken advantage of him in his heart.

He only needs to provide food and grass to receive strong assistance from elite soldiers like Li Xiaojun. He will station in Shan County in the future to prevent bandits, but this has relieved a lot of pressure from his Yanzhou prefect.

After hearing that Li Xiaojun had completely eliminated and surrendered the bandits in just over ten minutes, Ni Cheng, who was waiting for the news of the marquis in Jinxiang County, was very surprised and hurried to Jilizhai with hundreds of stones of grain and grass and more than one hundred fat pigs.

"Li Qianhu eliminated and surrendered this group of bandits so quickly. He is really a young hero, resourceful. Ni really admires him." Ni Cheng, wearing a fourth-rank civil servant uniform, had a bright smile on his face.

"The Ni Prefect is too good. If it weren't for the Ni Prefect's strong assistance, I would have accomplished my contribution." Li Xiao said with a smile.

The two then found a secluded place in the village to sit down. Nicheng lowered his voice and said, "Li Qianhu, how can you ask your subordinates what to do next?"

Li Xiao knew that Ni Cheng was afraid that he would go back to Chifeng Castle by himself. He smiled and said to him: "Prince Ni, don't worry. Our army will go straight to Dan County, choose a place to build a fort, and garrison the troops to safeguard the people."

Nicheng's face suddenly shined, and he smiled and said, "Very good! Very good! With a strong army like Li Qianhu stationed in Yanzhou, our mansion has many responsibilities on his shoulders."

Ni Cheng was in a good mood and then generously stated that after Li Xiaojun went to Shan County, until the fort was completed, the food supply of all the troops stationed in the garrison could be the responsibility of Yanzhou Prefecture.

Li Xiao was also very happy and thanked him repeatedly.

Nicheng suddenly remembered something again and asked, "Sir, some time ago, the Black Scorpion Division was poisoned in Dan County, and all villages were burned. Although these villagers had their lives, their future life would be worrying."

Li Xiao smiled and said, "It's okay, magistrate Ni, you can issue a notice to the Magistrate Zhao County of Shan County. Any villagers in Shan County whose homes are destroyed can help our army build a fort in Shan County. This official will pay them monthly salary and bear the food. After the fort is completed, they can take the wages and go home to rebuild the house."

Ni Cheng's heart fell to the ground, and he bowed to Li Xiao with emotion and said, "Li Qianhu cares about the people, he is truly a kind-hearted man, and he will receive a gift from our residence."
