Chapter 188 Shence Army, follow me into the mountains to suppress bandits
"Mr. Li Ting, ask everyone to share the food at home and see how long it lasts. You can go to the county office in a few days and tell me the specific situation. The county will raise food for disaster relief," Cao Chong comforted. road.

Hearing what Cao Chong said, Pavilion Chief Li knelt down again, and called other common people to kneel down together.

"Thank you, Master Qingtian!"

Li Tingchang led the people to thank Cao Chong, kowtowed a few times, and then slowly dispersed.

At this time, Xia Houba had already circled the Sanli Pavilion on horseback, came to Cao Chongsheng and said in a low voice, "The fire was done by an expert. The fires were set at even intervals, and the fire was lit on the southeast side of the rice field, facing the wind direction of the season. It's messy and it's impossible to track it down."

"Hmph! Some people are courting death!"

After Cao Chong appeased the people, he rushed back to the county government angrily.

Zhang Biao escorted Liu Xiang back to the county government office ahead of time. Wen Jiao already knew that Cao Chong was coming back and greeted him at the gate of the county government office.

"What are Lu Xun, Ling Tong, and Cao Yan doing for food! Someone set fire to the rice field!" Cao Chong said, patting the table.

Wen Jiao poured Cao a glass of water quietly and said, "Thief, set fire at night, the countryside is so big, no wonder there are several generals."

"You still speak well for them!"

"Where are they?" Cao Chong realized that the entire county office was empty.

"The bandits from Xiong'er Mountain came down the mountain and looted several pavilions south of Luoyang. They took away all the people's large animals and killed people. General Ling Tong led his troops to suppress the bandits."

Wen Jiao sighed and continued: "Cao Yan and Cao Tai are tracking down the trail of the thieves who set the fire. General Lu Xun went to the old city and heard that there are bandits coming out of Mang Mountain."

Cao Chong was dumbfounded and didn't even bother to get angry.

I walked back and forth for only three days, and this Luoyang became a den of thieves?Why are bandits and bandits everywhere!

"When did this all happen?" Cao Chong was a little annoyed.

"On the night you left, the bandits from Xiong'er Mountain came out. Last night someone set fire to the rice fields of Sanli Pavilion, Dongxi Pavilion, and Shuangmiao Pavilion. General Lu Xun received a report to go to the old city at noon today."

"Cough cough! Cough! They burned three kiosks? Cough!..." Cao Chong almost choked on water.

Wen Jiao hurriedly beat his back.

"Where's Pang Tong?"

"Still in Jianxi, something happened the day after you left. The yamen's relocation has been slow. I'll come here first and he will come tomorrow."

"It's getting dark, and the generals haven't come back. I guess they won't come back for a few days. You've been traveling back and forth for three days. Go back to Houya first. Diao Chan and Zhen Ji are still waiting for you to go back for dinner."

"Let's go together, it's much more convenient to live in the back office of the county office than in Jianxi."

Cao Chong was really tired and fell asleep soon after eating.

It's not that he has a big heart. It's dark these days, and basically all activities have stopped, and it's inconvenient to rob houses.

The next morning, I ate breakfast with Zhao Yun and Xiahouba.

Xia Houba has his own room in the back office, and Zhao Yun made do with him for the night yesterday.

"Zhao Yun, you can go look for Lu Xun later and see what's going on with him. Xia Houba and I will go find Cao Yan and then go and see how Ling Tong is doing." Cao Chong made arrangements while eating.

Cao Yan sent someone back last night to say that he had found the trace of the arsonist.

As a result, Cao Chong ran into Cao Yan who was coming back halfway.

"How is it? Did you catch anyone?"

"Run away! Not only ran out of Luoyang, but also ran out of Yinchuan, Henan, and went to Yuzhou along Yinchuan." Cao Yan gnawed on the dry food in a very disfigured way.

Damn, this is too good to run, it's more than 100 miles!Committing crimes across counties just to burn those crops?

"You go back and rest first. Hearing what you said, I guess there is no hope for Cao Tai. He will go west along the Luo River and soon enter Hongnong County, which is more convenient than your side." Cao Chong He frowned.

"Forget it, I'll go with you to see how Ling Tong is doing, I always feel that there is something wrong with this bandit." Cao Yan drank his saliva and got on his horse.

"Xiong'er Mountain is close to Luoyang. I sent people to investigate. There are only a dozen or so bandits in the two bandits, so they are not that bold." Cao Yan said as he walked.

"I sent someone to look for Ling Tong yesterday, but I didn't get a reply. I don't know if the person who came back couldn't find me, or what."

When Cao Chong heard what he said, he had a bad feeling, how dare these people be?

"General Cao!" When Cao Chong and others were approaching the foot of Xiong'er Mountain, a man ran out from the mountain and shouted at Cao Yan.

"Chen Liuer, didn't I ask you to lead the way with General Ling Tong? Why are you here alone?" Cao Yan looked at Chen Liuer and said.

"Young master, General Cao, it was General Ling Tong who told me to come back. General Ling Tong and his brothers are trapped in the Wild Boar Creek!"

"What?" Everyone was surprised.

"Ling Tong brought more than 100 people! Those two groups of bandits only had dozens of people in total, how could they be trapped by him?" Cao Yan immediately got angry and said angrily.

"I don't know where they came from, there are four or five hundred bandits!" Chen Liu'er said quickly.

"Lao San Liao and I took General Ling Tong to find the lairs of the two groups of bandits, and found that they had already left. Just when we were about to return, so many people appeared from nowhere and surrounded us. Liao Laosan and I had no choice but to lead General Ling Tong to break through into the wild boar creek, and I made a long detour before coming back without their eyes!"

"How about the casualties?" Cao Chong asked quickly.

"There were not many casualties, and the brothers were all in armor. Those people seemed to be in a different wave. We were afraid of each other so that we could easily break through."

"Cao Yan, you go back quickly, Zhao Yun went to the old city to find Lu Xun, you go to him and bring 1000 people over!"

"Chen Liu'er, you wait here with us, and you will take us to the wild boar stream later!"

Cao Chong is very angry now, these people are really daring!

Fortunately, Ling Tong is fine. According to what Chen Liu'er said, these bandits greatly underestimated the combat effectiveness of Ling Tong and the Shence Army. Ling Tong is still able to persist by taking advantage of the favorable terrain. ,

"Yes!" Knowing the urgency of the matter, Cao Yan hurried to Luoyang.

Cao Chong and Xia Houba were waiting at the mountain pass.

"Troubleshooting four or five hundred thieves at once is really a big deal!" Cao Chong secretly said, "So many people can almost attack the county."

"Hmph! If you don't hurt you this time, you really think I'm a bully! Last time I just beheaded two heads of the Sima family and let the others go. It seems too kind!"

Sure enough, the kindness to the enemy is the cruelty to oneself.

Cao Chong waited at the mountain pass for about two hours before he saw a dark shadow appear in the distance.

Zhao Yun came faster than Cao Chong expected!
The flags are flying, the armor is bright!The Shence Army is dispatched on a large scale!

Zhao Yun brought about 200 people this time!
"Chen Liu'er, lead the way!"

"Shence Army, follow me into the mountain to suppress the bandits!"
