Chapter 78 Suppressing Bandits
Ma Junshan was panting like a cow and nodding his head continuously, no longer having any of the pride he had yesterday.
A trace of disdain flashed across Xie Lian’s face, and he stood up and walked out of the prison.
In the following days, the people of the capital were in panic. More than a dozen officials, including the Minister of Revenue Cui Hao, General of the Cavalry Ma Junshan, General Annan, and Lieutenant Jianzhong, were all thrown into prison.
Most of them were military generals, and their crime was collusion with King Xiang and intention to rebel.
While patrolling the streets, Ma Junshan, Cui Hao and others were hit in the face with eggs and vegetable leaves. Egg juice and blood flowed down their cheeks, and they no longer looked as superior as before.
The people cursed loudly.
"Great! This is really satisfying! Ling Chi is too easy for them. They usually bully the people and now they are getting their retribution."
"That's right. The three murders in the capital were all committed by Ma Junshan. I heard that he even tried to assassinate the Prime Minister, but was caught by the martial arts champion and his hands were chopped off on the spot."
"That's right, the martial arts champion is very skilled. Cui Jue wanted to provoke Lord Yan a while ago, but now he has been sentenced to exile."
The next day, Yan Kuan was appointed as the deputy general of the Zhen army, and followed the commander Xie Lian to suppress the bandits and capture Prince Xiang and bring him back to the capital.
Yan Kuan rode a tall horse and walked beside the carriage wearing armor, with a long army in front and behind him.
"If it were you, you would not have to come here. It would be better to stay in the capital so that you don't have to endure this bumpy ride. There are many mountain roads ahead. Can you handle it?"
Xie Lian lifted the curtain of the car window with his slender white hand and looked at Yan in awe at his narrow-sleeved riding uniform, his dark hair tied up with a hollow carved gold crown, and his heroic appearance.
“Hey, what are you thinking about, Prime Minister? Come back to your senses.” A pair of large hands waved in front of Xie Lian’s eyes.
Xie Lian looked a little unnatural. He lowered the curtain and cleared his throat.
"You have just arrived, and the officials in Gancheng don't know you. With me here, the government orders will be issued faster. We must act quickly this time and not give King Xiang a chance to catch his breath."
Upon hearing this, Yan Kuan's face turned serious: "I understand."
After traveling for about fifteen days, the army finally arrived at the Luanzhishan Pass. In the camp, Yan Kuan and a group of generals were at the head, listening to the prime minister making plans.
"King Xiang is a mediocre person. His greatest support is the rampant bandits in Luanzhi Mountain. I plan to split the troops into two groups. I will command one group to persuade them to surrender outside Gancheng. I know most of the officials there, so it won't be a big problem."
"The most important thing is that the other group, led by Deputy General Yan, will go into the mountains to suppress the bandits. We must succeed in suppressing the bandits within three days. We cannot let them reach Gancheng, otherwise we will be attacked from both sides, which will be disadvantageous to our army."
"Subordinates take orders"
Yan Kuan was about to go out and dispatch troops to prepare for departure.
"and many more"
Xie Lian suddenly spoke up: “Deputy General Yan, please stay. I have a few words to tell you.”
After hearing this, the other generals saluted and left the tent.
"Why, what do you want, Lord?"
Xie Lian looked at Yan Kuan quietly for a few seconds, then stood up and walked to his side, looking up at him:
"Don't be so anxious to achieve merit. Safety comes first. I, I mean the lives of the soldiers are also important. Do you understand?"
"Don't worry, Prime Minister. Those three or two thieves are no match for me. You'd better protect yourself and remember not to get too close to the front line."
When no one else is around, Yan Kuan always looks so nonchalant, which makes Xie Lian angry. He wants to hit him, but he sees that Yan Kuan is wearing armor that is extremely hard, so if he hits him, his hands will only hurt.
This heartless bastard.
Seeing Xie Lian's expression was really ugly, Yan Kuan didn't dare to joke anymore and quickly straightened his face:
"Prime Minister, rest assured, just go and negotiate. I promise that these bandits will never help King Xiang."
After saying that, he stood up, drew aside the curtain and went out.
Yan Kuan was a natural born general. After only ten days on the road, he had won the hearts of all the soldiers in the army. There were a few troublemakers, but they were all frightened by him and treated him with more respect than the prime minister.
At this moment, he sat upright on his warhorse, pointed his spear forward, and shouted: "Let's go!"
Thousands of soldiers followed their general into the distant mountains and forests.
Xie Lian's side was going smoothly. The army surrounded Gancheng. Although King Xiang received the news in advance and blocked the city gates, he had already sent spies to sneak into the city secretly.
After lobbying several officials, they decided to wait for Yan Kuan's army to return the day after tomorrow after suppressing the bandits, cut off King Xiang's retreat, and with the help of both inside and outside forces, Gan City would naturally fall without a fight.
But unexpectedly, two days later, the lieutenant returned early with his troops.
Xie Lian and the other generals were shocked: "What's going on?"
Lieutenant Wang Chao was delighted and said with a folded hand:
"Prime Minister, may God bless our Great Viet. The deputy general is so brave. There are more than a thousand bandits, all entrenched in the Luanzhi Mountain area. The deputy general is both brave and resourceful. He asked us to make a feint to the east and attack the west, pretending to set fire to the mountain, forcing them to open the gate of the village and fight us head-on.
Who would have thought that as soon as they met, the deputy general captured the three bandit leaders in just two moves. The remaining bandits scattered like monkeys when the tree fell, and they all wanted to run down the mountain. The soldiers arranged by the deputy general at the foot of the mountain caught them in a jar, and our army won the battle without losing a single soldier. "
Everyone present was amazed at this. There were no casualties in our army. Someone immediately said:
"This Deputy General Yan is truly a natural born general."
"Yes, this is an unprecedented achievement in the history of suppressing bandits in Dai Viet!"
Xie Lian glanced at the three bandits who were being escorted by the soldiers behind them and had bruised and swollen faces. He asked in a brisk tone:
"What about Deputy General Yan?"
Wang Chao replied: "Deputy General Yan said that the bandits in Dai Viet are all entrenched in this area. Now that we have eliminated the bandit leader, we should naturally pursue them, persuade them to surrender, or disband them. So I led a small team into Guanshan."
Xie Lian frowned upon hearing this, somewhat irritated that Yan Kuan had taken the initiative to take risks alone.
But the priority at the moment was to capture King Xiang, so he immediately gave orders to act according to the plan.
Sure enough, that night, several officials opened the city gates and welcomed the army into the city, and Prince Xiang was escorted before Xie Lian.
"kneel down"
Wei Ran kicked King Xiang in the knee. His hair was disheveled and his hands were tied behind his back. King Xiang looked up at Xie Lian in embarrassment:
"I am a royal relative, thank you, how dare you make me kneel to you?"
Xie Lian sat high on the armchair in the middle of the government hall, his face expressionless and his tone dull as he spoke:
"But now you are just a rebellious bandit."
"You are smart. You let the bandits go up the mountain in advance as your trump card. You want to attack them from both sides. What a pity..."
Prince Xiang was unwilling to accept this and started to curse Xie Lian for abusing his power and being a dictator, but Wei Ran broke his jaw.
Xie Lian waved his hand and had them dragged away. For some reason, his eyelids kept twitching, and he felt like something was about to happen.
At this time, a victory message suddenly came from outside the door: "Report, Deputy General Yan persuaded the nearby bandits to surrender and asked them to join the army."
Xie Lian was pleasantly surprised and asked hastily, “What about Deputy General Yan?”
The soldier who reported the incident thought for a moment and said, "I haven't seen Deputy General Yan in the army."
"What did you say?"
