"Two supervisors, please take your seats."

Zheng Yunzhi invited Yu Jue and Ren Dong into the county government office, called for tea, and then began to speak.

"I have been looking forward to the supervisors for a long time. I saw the two supervisors today, and I felt a huge weight in my heart."

Ren Dong was impatient, and instead of being wordy, he said straightforwardly: "I and Mr. Yu have already read the report from Magistrate Zheng. The total number of troops from the left is forty thousand, and General Hu Dawei later dispatched five thousand." Forty-five thousand soldiers and horses perished in Nanyang. This officer and Lord Yu are really unbelievable. Please also ask Magistrate Zheng to explain the details in detail, so that I and Lord Yu can distinguish between them."

Zheng Yunzhi nodded and said, "This is how it should be."

He said, "We have to start from the beginning. The lower official is the magistrate of Ye County. The imperial court has 2 million military pay to be transported to Yexian County for the purpose of suppressing thieves. The lower official dare not neglect it. But he did not expect the news. Give way!"

Yu Jue and Ren Dong looked at each other and nodded slightly.

They already knew the news here. When Zheng Yunzhi sent people to Xiangyang to ask for help, they had read Zheng Yunzhi's handwriting and knew that someone had leaked the secret.

"There are only five hundred households in the hands of the lower official, less than 600 people. Three hundred households will go to Wuyang Erlang Mountain to meet the escort. But the thief General Hao waved the flag to lure more than 10,000 troops to attack. Just outside the city, the general paid the robbery Let's go. Not only did the thieves robbed the army, but they also wanted to attack Ye County. The subordinate officials were unable to do anything, so they had to lead the thieves into Ye County and set fire to them, and then they withdrew into Fangcheng Mountain."

"The lower official lost his military pay and knew that he had committed a serious crime. While he sent people to inquire about the news, he heard that Inspector Ding had led his army to Yuzhou, so he quickly called for help, hoping that General Zuo could regain his military pay."

"Take back the military pay?" Yu Jue narrowed his eyes slightly and twirled his beard and said, "The thieves robbed the military pay, didn't they transport it away?"

Zheng Yunzhi said: "Your Excellency, please listen to the official's judgment. When the official knew that the military pay information was leaked, he was afraid that the thieves would cooperate inside and outside. During the search, he arrested several thieves in Ye County. One of them was the daughter of the traitor Yuan Chonghuan. So. It was this thief who contacted the thief and leaked the news."

When the two supervisors heard this, they couldn't help but stare: "Yuan Chonghuan's daughter?!"

"It's this woman." Zheng Yunzhi said: "I don't know where this thief woman got the news, but it was exactly the same. She contacted the thief general Hao Yaoqi under the command of the thief, so when the military salary arrived, Hao Yaoqi The flag just happened to arrive unexpectedly. However, the lower official learned some information from her and concluded that Hao Yaoqi wanted to monopolize it, so he did not take away the general's salary!"

"Swallow it all?!"

Yu Jue and Ren Dong looked at each other.

After a while, Ren Dong said: "Thieves are thieves by nature, and it is reasonable to want to take everything for themselves."

Zheng Yunzhi showed an expression of deep understanding: "My official thought the same way. So I secretly asked people to find out where the thief hid his money."

Yu Jue and Ren Dong both nodded.

"It's the Bai River Valley." Zheng Yunzhi sighed: "The people under the official are all locals in this area, so they are familiar with the geography. They noticed that there were people in the Bai River Valley, about thousands of people. The official did not dare to alert the snake, so he prepared to contact Governor Ding."

"It should be." The two supervisors nodded.

Zheng Yunzhi shook his head and said: "Unexpectedly, the intruder valued the two million military salaries very much. He sent Liu Zongmin's 20,000 troops first. When the official found out where the military salaries were hidden, the traitor Liu Zongmin's army was in Yuzhou. The official was Zheng. We need to contact the Superintendent, there is another band of thieves coming from the north."

"oh!"

The two supervisors frowned upon hearing this.

"But it was the thieves under the intruder's command who passed over a tiger." Zheng Yunzhi said: "There are also 20,000 people."

"Xiaguan hurriedly sent people to Yuzhou to report the news. He only took five thousand young men to Ye County to intercept a tiger." Zheng Yunzhi said: "I don't know if a tiger still has Xiaguan's soldiers and horses. Xiaguan attacked at night." , big break."

"Five thousand young men?" The two supervisors locked onto this number very sensitively.

"Of course." Zheng Yunzhi said: "Xiaguan has a heavy responsibility. After taking office last year, he moved the people of Ye County to Fangcheng Mountain. Xiaguan withdrew to Fangcheng Mountain and recruited five thousand young people from it."

"Although we didn't have time to train rigorously, we are all common people in Ye County and share the same hatred. The bandits were panicked during the surprise attack, killing countless people and even capturing a tiger from the bandit general."

"Oh!" The two of them were stunned when they heard this: "A tiger was also captured?"

"Exactly." Zheng Yunzhi said: "The thief is still detained in Fangcheng Mountain."

"That's right." Yu Jue and Ren Dong laughed.

But Zheng Yunzhi kept shaking his head: "However, although Xiaguan intercepted and killed a tiger, Yuzhou suffered a huge defeat. After defeating a tiger, Xiaguan ordered his subordinate Ying Yi of a hundred households to lead his army south. When he met Zuo Jun They were defeated, and the thieves had entered Yuzhou City. It was at the critical moment that Ying Yi, a hundred households, rushed to the front and boosted their morale, and then defeated the thieves in one fell swoop, and also beheaded Liu Zongmin and Hao Yaoqi."

"Who...is this Ying Yi?" Yu Jue and Ren Dong looked at each other, and Ren Dong said, "How could he defeat tens of thousands of thieves with thousands of young men?"

Zheng Yunzhi smiled and said: "It is said that he is able to save the defeat, thanks to Ying Baihu. The lower official is just a county magistrate, and he is not qualified to appoint Qianhu. Otherwise, Qianhu would have been promoted or even guarded. Ying Yi's bravery is extraordinary, and the fierce generals of ancient times are no more than Like this. He is also good at leading troops and has great military strategy. He can charge into battle and be omnipotent."

"Where is this person? Why don't you call me and see him?" After hearing Zheng Yunzhi's praise, Yu Jue Rendong was a little curious.

Zheng Yunzhi shook his head and said: "Although we have defeated Li Guo, Liu Zongmin and Hao Yaoqi, we must be on guard against the intruders in Kaifeng. The subordinate has ordered him to lead his troops north to guard the first mountain to guard against the intruders."

When the two supervisors heard this, they felt concerned and thought that Zheng Yunzhi had thought carefully.

Then Yu Jue asked: "Since Liu Zongmin and Hao Yaoqi have been beheaded, where are their heads?"

Zheng Yunzhi said: "The head has been sent to the capital."

The two of them were startled, their thoughts changed, and they were speechless.

Then I heard Zheng Yunzhi say: "I am the magistrate of Ye County. This matter should be reported to the prefect of Nanyang and the governor of Henan. It is also okay for Governor Ding to do so. But..."

How could the two supervisors not know what was going on here?

The governor of Henan was in Kaifeng and was besieged by thieves. Nanyang Prefecture has been vacant since last year. And Ding Qirui, the supervisor of the suppression of thieves, died. His and Zuo Liangyu's coffins were parked outside, and they had seen them before.

"The lower officials had no choice but to report to the capital at a higher level. At the same time, the news was sent to Xiangyang so that the two supervisors could know about it."

This reason is very strong, and the two supervisors are helpless.

I couldn't help but feel a little cold for a while.

In other words, the credit for turning the tide here has nothing to do with them.

Zheng Yunzhi saw it clearly, but he laughed and said: "The two supervisors have worked hard and made great achievements. Why can't the subordinates understand this? It was mentioned in the report that we are trying to save the defeat here, thanks to the supervisor's reminder."

Only then did Yu Jue and Ren Dong turn from worry to joy. Yu Jue smiled and said, "I and Lord Ren only reminded me that the main credit goes to Magistrate Zheng."

Everyone is happy.

They were happily chatting for a while. Someone came to report: "Shou Shan is coming back at night. There is an urgent message. He is outside."
