"What reason?" Cao Zhenling is not very good at this, after all, the society he really experienced is different.

Zhang Zhi thought for a while, "It's best to catch them as evidence of corruption and breaking the law, and we've made a contribution."

"No, I think they must be related to bandits, maybe we can use them to attract attention." Xiao Teng objected.

Cao Zhenling nodded, "Xiao Teng's words are right, and it's the same if you put it on the banknote in the end. Here we are the top snakes, and we are not familiar with the place."

"Okay!"

Cao Zhenling immediately raised his eyebrows when he heard the sound, and looked at Zhang Zhi teasingly, "Look, look, your little guards think my idea is good."

Zhang Zhi shyly turned his head and stared at Zhou Shengyi.

"About Zhou Xuan, Xiao Teng, come here, you are good at this matter." Cao Zhenling began to order, "In two days, our soldiers will be trained almost, and the morale will be rampant enough. We will surround Zuoshantou and Dongshantou and Zuoshantou have a total of 420 people, Dongshantou is about [-], Xiao Teng, you are in charge of Dongshantou, I will take Zhang Zhi to Zuoshantou, we will surround the mountain here, if the mountaintop does not reach this area, burn the mountain!"

"Burning the mountain?!" Everyone was surprised.

"The mountain is indeed their foundation, but since they don't even care about human life, we don't care about getting rich. We are not polite. It is easier to burn one by one. There is a cliff behind the top of Dongshan, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. We Just trap him on top, Xiao Teng, you can take 700 people, burn a group of people to death first, and burn some of the other party's food and grass by the way, and they will have to flee one by one in three to five days! Why do you have so many people? , let me understand in my heart! I will widen my eyes, and if I let one go, I will only ask you!"

Xiao Teng immediately tightened his skin and accepted the order.

"Zhang Zhi and I can only travel at night. If we catch them by surprise, we can bring 300 people with us." Then he pointed to several other hills, "Go down the hill and send me 20 people to watch for any movement, be careful. And Zhongshantou is the closest to Zuoshantou. There are about 300 people on the mountain, which is comparable to Zuoshantou. Zhou Shengyi and Ma Jun spent 500 people on Zhongshantou this week. They are surrounded to death and no one is allowed to be released. We use this Zuo Shantou can be wiped out in an hour, Anhua will stay and clean up the battlefield with Dutu, and Zhang Zhi and I will lead people to join you immediately, and I must deal with these three hilltops before noon."

He paused for a while, then thought for a while before saying, "At this time, the two hills in the south and west will definitely panic. If they are given a chance to breathe, they will not be safe. We can only let them go to bed before they recover. Call over."

"The rest of the troops, surround these two sides?" Xiao Teng asked.

Cao Zhenling shook his head, "These troops are too few to encircle. At most, we should encircle Xishantou first, and there are only more than 200 people." He knocked on the table, "In the early morning of the day we attacked, send a small soldier to ask the prefect and the guard to send someone to Go down the hill and surround them."

"Why?" Zhang Zhi was puzzled.

"You have to show your trust in them, let them have something to do, and by the way, you can find out which bandit they are leaning towards, and the prefect definitely doesn't want us to encircle and suppress all the hills, so you have to keep one, the person who went down the hill They have brains, but they feel that they are the safest and will not escape, and they will conquer it after we withdraw our troops." Cao Zhenling was still thinking about Xishantou and Nanshantou, "but what about Nanshantou? The troops are still not enough. "

"Little General, I'm a little confused." Xiao Teng asked.

"Say." Cao Zhenling looked up at him.

Xiao Teng pointed to the top of the mountain, "These mountains are not small, is it enough for us to send a few hundred people?"

"Let me ask you, is your side enough?"

Cao Zhenling asked back.Xiao Teng thought for a while, "burn the mountain first, and then block people in the mountain, I'm afraid it will be enough."

"The 500 people Zhang Zhi and I are enough, we can't have too many people to sneak attack in the dark, and the other party has more than 300 people, we have more than 500 people, enough to surround the cottage and catch turtles, and here, Zhongshantou has 500 people Surrounded by people, plus what Zhang Zhi and I brought, three thousand is not enough?" Cao Zhenling seemed to divide his troops, but in fact he did not divide much, and there were more than 1000 left to attack Xishantou. Due to insufficient troops, he surrounded Instead of suppressing.

Xiao Teng turned his head and nodded affirmatively, "It's quite appropriate, but here in the south..."

"I'm thinking, if I let this mountain go, I'm afraid it won't be long before it will be revived." Cao Zhenling was not reconciled after thinking about it.Cao Zhenling didn't dare to do tricks at the foot of the mountain, for fear of alarming people, he would startle the snake instead.

"Either way, let's burn the mountain." Zhang Zhi looked at the sand table with a calm expression, and said slowly, "500 people are enough to burn a mountain. For these 500 people, burn the mountain and quickly dig a hole at the interruption of the mountain to prevent the fire from spreading. "

Cao Zhenling raised his head and glanced at Zhang Zhi, who still had a boyish air, and secretly laughed in his heart that this kid had changed a bit, "It's doable." Although the methods are a bit vicious, he likes them.

The plan went well, as Cao Zhenling expected, they attacked those hills one by one for five consecutive days, and after they all fled, the bandits on the hills went rampant.

Xiao Teng dealt with the prefect very well, and he couldn't stop the prefect from fooling him into thinking that Xiao Teng was a small-bellied, narrow-minded, dissatisfied with a brat who hadn't even grown a hair on his head.The magistrate was happy in his heart, and discussed with the guard what to do.

On the third day of the plan, just after midnight, Cao Zhenling, Xiao Teng, and Zhang Zhi made a final decision and planned "only success and no failure!" After saying that, they led people to disappear into the night.

They must fight this battle quickly and accurately, and it is not easy to attack by surprise.

At the foot of the left mountain, Cao Zhenling glanced at the moonlight and asked Zhang Zhi beside him, "Have you ever killed anyone?"

The latter didn't make a sound, Cao Zhenling smiled, lifted his legs and jumped into the forest without a sound, followed by Zhang Zhi.A massacre unfolded silently under the cover of darkness. The people on Zuoshantou were probably overwhelmed by the victories of the past few days. When they wiped out the outer area and entered the stronghold, there was a sudden alarm, and shouts and killings rushed to the peaceful hilltop in an instant.

After Cao Zhenling dealt with the last person, he wiped the blood from his face, "Get rid of the bosses on the spot, and leave the two who know how to manage the account books."

Zhang Zhi was puzzled, "Why?" His voice was hoarse, rough as if it contained sand.

Just now, Cao Zhenling sneered inwardly, "These people are not peaceful, and they are easy to escape. If we let the tiger go back to the mountain, we will be working for nothing. We might as well solve the trouble here first, and no one will blame us."

Zhang Zhi now has an inexplicable trust in Cao Zhenling, so he nodded in agreement without thinking too much.

Zheng Anhua, who received the order, immediately raised his sword and dropped his sword. Those bandits who were captured alive never imagined that death was so easy. If they resisted, there might be a chance of life. But in previous years, they were all arrested and detained?Or maybe they could have escaped too, right?This isn't the first time this has happened.Who would have thought that the little general was so decisive and vicious this year!

When Cao Zhenling saw that it was resolved, he immediately ordered, "Everyone follow me!" There is still the next forum to be posted.

In one day, Cao Zhenling burned two hilltops, and finally captured the last hilltop before evening. Even his tired face could hardly hold the knife.

"There is still a besieged descending hill." Xiao Teng sat on the ground exhausted, watching soldiers picking up the wreckage not far away.

"En." Cao Zhenling also sat down, "I'm afraid the people going down the mountain are a little panicked now."

"How?" Xiao Teng turned his head and asked.

"Let the guards encircle and suppress the mountain," Cao Zhenling looked into the distance. "He will definitely let most of the bandits go, and we will take this opportunity to catch them all."

"Tonight? Brothers are very tired." Xiao Teng felt that something was wrong.

"Hey, I know that too." Cao Zhenling also had a headache. There were only 300 troops. Although there were not many local people, they were scattered and cunning. We will get rid of 300 of us at this mountain top, tsk tsk. The remaining 2000 people will rest in place, eat, sleep, and follow me when we wake up! Finish the fight early and go back early." After saying that, he sighed heavily, "We Suppress the ones on the mountain, and the ones in the city.”

"Guard that trash!" If it wasn't for the fact that the defense is useless and they have to be on guard, how can they call out 1000 people, which is more than enough to investigate the people in the city.

"If there is no way, we will create a way. If there is no chance, we will find an opportunity." Cao Zhenling sighed and got down on the ground. "This time, let's not worry about it. It's okay to use vicious methods. The imperial court will send someone to appease you. Only then can we deal with this group of troublemakers.”

Xiao Teng watched the 17-year-old boy close his sleepy eyes, so he asked his cronies to stay nearby, and fell asleep with him.

Going down the mountain is the most difficult bone to crack, but Cao Zhenling let the guards and the people going down the mountain kill each other, and then it is not easy to attack.Even if the guard is unwilling, he can't disobey the order. He can restrain the opponent for a long time by pretending. In order not to harm himself, he still needs to kill one-third of the troops. Let the bandit down the hill escape.

Cao Zhenling had been peeping in the dark, and when he saw this, he immediately waved his troops and beheaded every one who had escaped!

When the guard saw this, his face turned pale with fright, "Small, why is the little general here?" He dared to act so recklessly because Cao Zhenling had been fighting east and west all day, and the troops would definitely not be able to bear it. He is here You can do whatever you want, and no one can control it.But who knew, Cao Zhenling suddenly appeared?Still so radiant and energetic.

"Not here, wait until you release everyone?" Cao Zhenling sneered, "Put me down!"

Zheng Anhua suppressed his defensive heart like ashes, and his whole body was in a daze.

Cao Zhenling selected 500 people from the garrison team, let them commit crimes and make meritorious deeds, then turned around and checked the bandits and sales sites in the city. This movement is not small.

Zhao Hechi was still surprised when he saw Cao Zhenling's great victory came to tell the time, how many days has it been?But after reading the memorial, I was a little worried. Although Cao Zhenling can cure the root cause, appeasement is also extremely important, lest the people retaliate.

So, just after the Hanlin Academy was cleaned up, Yu Xiumian was replaced by an errand, and went to cooperate with the new prefect to examine the bandits and appease the people.

Under Cao Zhihao's farewell, Yu Xiumian looked at the emperor's handwriting and murmured in his heart, "Go by yourself, what kind of official are you? Why didn't you explain it clearly? But Zhenling is really a general, and he is not in a hurry or rash to the Lingyao bandits, but he is steady and steady, but Again by surprise."

Yu Xiumian was full of joy, feeling that he had seen the right person, and was looking forward to seeing her little husband again.

The capital once again received battle reports, but unfortunately this time it was not a big victory.

Lin Jinghui urgently needs to prove himself. This is a big taboo for military strategists. The more impatient, the more likely to make mistakes. He hasn't adapted to the sea yet, so he went to fight in the sea?What is the result?it goes without saying.

The loss of one hundred thousand troops, but not even the fur of the opponent, this is a shame to Zhao Guo!

Lin Jinghui was stunned by the father-in-law who issued the imperial edict, "Let's leave it to General Yao first, and General Lin will go back to Beijing with the Sa family to forgive the crime."

"Yes..." Lin Jinghui, who had never been defeated before, couldn't believe that he would lose, and it was such a disastrous defeat!

"Hey, the former emperor was quite happy to receive the great victory of General Cao, and I don't know how he will feel in the past few days. If you say that General Cao is really capable, he wiped out all the bandits in just a few days." It’s gone, and it’s still uprooted, treating the symptoms and treating the root cause! It’s a good job.” The father-in-law wanted to make sure he didn’t want to make it easier for him, and he seemed to be whispering to others, but in fact he was talking to Lin Jinghui.Lin Jinghui was defeated miserably, but seeing that the person he looked down upon won a complete victory, the feeling in his heart was swallowed by a poisonous snake.

He thought, it must be Yu Xiu Mian secretly helping!Without him, what would a 17-year-old idiot who had never been to a war know about fighting?It's just a bandit, if you give it to him, he can do it too!

After a while, he thought again, if Yu Xiumian was still by his side, he would definitely not lose this battle, definitely not!He will not allow himself to send troops rashly, and he will definitely come up with a good way to defeat the opponent's warship...

But now Yu Xiumian no longer belongs to him.

Suddenly a kind of regret overflowed from the bottom of his heart, swallowing his whole body.Lin Jinghui felt incredible, how could he divorce Yu Xiu?Why should Yu Xiumian be divorced?Because of An Xiyao?Could it be that An Xiyao couldn't coexist with Yu Xiumian?It's obvious that the two of them don't violate the river water, don't they?Yu Xiumian had nothing to do for three years, so he took a concubine to have children and reproduce, isn't it wrong?Why did Yu Xiumian target An Xiyao?What's more, at that time, he didn't even give An Xiyao a title, and An Xiyao was willing to follow him. What dissatisfaction did Yu Xiu Mian have?

But, he shouldn't have given up on Yu Xiumian in this way, Lin Jinghui now clearly understands that he has lost a lot of help by losing Yu Xiumian!If Yu Xiumian was still there, he would still be the ever-victorious general, and it was Lin Jinghui who was praised now!Cao Zhenling also led people to investigate the bandits. He did as much as he planned, and those little thieves would not let go. If they were caught, those who were not blood-stained would be bought as coolies for a few years. It is not allowed to redeem it.

The prefect and the guard were all controlled and detained, and the guard was stolen and stolen, but the prefect was still lucky, and he refused to admit that he was drunk.

Cao Zhenling looked at his virtuous snort, turned to Zhang Zhi and asked, "Do you want to learn from interrogation?"

Zhang Zhi subconsciously swallowed his saliva, "Take it easy, he is still an official of the imperial court after all." The torture of the former son was too bloody and violent, which still remains fresh in his memory.

Cao Zhenling said, "Two different things, interrogation, interrogation are two arts."

Zhang Zhi heheed twice, turned his head to look away, he continued to worry about Mr. Yu.

Interrogation and torture are actually common topics, but they are different.A person who is able to speak one sentence after another, and routines, is to know one's own problems from the other party's mouth in a calm manner, one after another, repeatedly ask, observe the other party's words and deeds, demeanor, expression, etc.

"Prepare a darkroom for me." Cao Zhenling asked Zhou Shengyi to prepare the record.

After using it for the past few days, he found that Zhou Shengyi was much easier to use than Zheng Anhua. He looked at Zhang Zhi with envy, but the boy was still puzzled.

"Yes," Xiao Teng thought about the torture that day and was still a little worried, "How about me?" He said hesitantly, "After all, the other party is still an official." Not too young.

"Tsk!" Cao Zhenling looked at him impatiently, "Why is it that one is more troublesome than the other? Go away, sir, let me demonstrate to you, learn hard!"

He said and opened the door of the cell.

The tall and fat magistrate who was raised in the past is now sitting on the grass moaning and sighing. When he saw Cao Zhenling coming, he didn't snort coldly and turned his head away from him.

Cao Zhenling was the one who brought him here, waved his hand, and asked someone to take him to the dark room, where there were only two chairs and a small coffee table with good food on it.Cao Zhenling raised his jaw, "Let's eat first."

The magistrate glanced at Cao Zhenling, then at the food, and said unambiguously, "I believe you dare not poison me." Cao Zhenling nodded with a smile, "That's right, I really don't courage."

The magistrate snorted and laughed twice proudly, "Of course I made a big mistake, and Wu Shamao can't keep it. This fate is hard to say, but isn't that what happens in a lifetime? I have enjoyed and enjoyed it in the past two years, What haven't you played before?"

"No, no one is as carefree as you." Cao Zhenling looked at his actions coldly, and even shook his head in disgust while drinking tea.

But this tea is 3000 taels of Biluochun, even Yu Xiumian can't drink it often.

Suddenly I feel sorry for my wife, what should I do...

"When will you be the magistrate here?" Cao Zhenling asked.

"Four years ago." The magistrate thought for a while, "Oh, it's been four years and three months."

"What did you do in the past?" Cao Zhenling asked.

"Being the magistrate in Jing'an is a poor place."

"I heard that you have a good reputation there."

"Hey, if it's not good, how can I be transferred here?"

"This tea is good."

"Which one is good? I once drank the one from the reigning adult, which was mellow and refreshing, and the smell is still there for a few days." I was very intoxicated while talking.

Cao Zhenling didn't continue to ask about the grown-up, but asked about others, "You have a good son-in-law. He was admitted to Juren at a young age, and he has a bright future in the future."

Speaking of this, the magistrate was also a little annoyed, "Hey, I'm sorry for my son, but that's all, that's all, that's all."

Cao Zhenling groaned in his heart, it seemed that he was leaving his precious son behind, "If you are implicated in the crime, your son may also be punished."

The magistrate refrained from speaking again, and when Cao Zhenling got the confirmation, he asked again, "When did you collude with bandits?

How did you collude? "The magistrate looked at Cao Zhenling contemptuously, snorted coldly and told everything in detail one by one. Cao Zhenling knew that he didn't care about this at all. When he searched the magistrate's mansion, he found that this kid didn't How much silver is left? His family is still prosperous, but he can't spend so much silver. Where did the silver go? It goes without saying.

All Cao Zhenling wanted was to grab that thread, that tail!

"There is a girl who is a guest in your house. I heard that she is the daughter of your first wife and younger sister? If it is Shui Ling, which son do you want to marry?"

"It depends on their intentions." The magistrate replied.

Cao Zhenling's heart bulged, it seemed that he had caught an interesting person, the prefect didn't follow his wishes to express his feelings about his husband and wife or talk about the girl, but actually said to see his son the meaning of?Free love is not popular in this day and age, you idiot!

Afterwards, Cao Zhenling asked some questions calmly, and after he could clearly describe the person behind the prefect, he patted the prefect on the shoulder, "Eat slowly."

The magistrate still had a leisurely look on his face, not knowing what to say.

When Cao Zhenling opened the door, he was still thinking about how to get the person behind him out, but the moment he raised his head, he stood there unable to move...

Daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law... Mrs. Mrs. Mrs. has come to see him... The whole screen is swiped.

Yu Xiu Mian was dressed in white as before, standing outside the dark cell with a gentle expression, his whole body seemed to be shining with a halo, Cao Zhenling thought.

After closing the door smoothly, Cao Zhenling rubbed his hands, hesitating, and looked at Yu Xiumian shyly, "You, why are you here?" Yu Xiumian had come a long time ago, standing at the door and listening to Cao Zhenling's interrogation, he still thought it was quite strange Yes, but as soon as she came out and saw herself so awkward, Yu Xiu Mian felt it was funny, and couldn't help but approach her close, "I, can't come?" Say it, and make a gesture to leave.

"No, no!" Cao Zhenling immediately grabbed his hand, "I'm just a little surprised." As he said that, he felt ashamed!But... glanced at no one around, then boldly and reassuringly approached, "It's just that we have been separated for a long time, and I don't know how you are doing."

"Don't you know now?" Yu Xiuyan stroked his hair, Cao Zhenling's hair was stiff, and he had the same temper as him, "I brought all the snow wolves."

Cao Zhenling's heart was warm like something, he took his hand and held it tightly, not daring to do anything deviant, but the turbulence in his heart was almost overflowing.

Yu Xiu smiled and stared into his eyes, focused and bright, "Are you hungry? I heard from An Hua that you interrogated the prefect without having lunch."

"hungry!"

"Let's go, I'll take you to dinner." Yu Xiumian took the lead and walked forward without breaking his hand.

Cao Zhenling was dragged back foolishly, thinking, just looking at his wife's face, he could eat an extra bowl of rice, no, three bowls!

At the dinner table, Yu Xiumian and Cao Zhenling discussed what the magistrate said for a while.
