News from Weizhou came one after another, and fast horses entering Jiangzhou were suddenly panicked.

Finally, after more than a dozen information corrections, it was basically confirmed that the Weizhou defenders confirmed that there were at least more than 2,000 Black Mountain bandits, and it was uncertain whether there were bandits who could not see them. It was uncertain whether there were bandits who could not see them outside the city to respond.

In short, it will only be more than two thousand, not less. This is a big trouble. There are countless examples in history that have shown that scattered soldiers cannot become a climate, but once they gather together, it will become a big trouble.

At that time, the Jurchen tribes were scattered into groups and made a living by fishing and hunting in the northeast. They were suppressed by the Liao Kingdom and had no room for resistance. However, Wanyan Wugunai unified the Jurchen tribes, and then Wanyan Aguda was qualified to rise up. The Liao Kingdom almost destroyed the country, and the Song Dynasty lost half of its territory. The troops were invincible.

The Mongolian tribes are also particularly similar. At first, they were suppressed by the Liao Kingdom, but later they were bullied by the rising Jin Kingdom.

Until Temujin emerged and unified the Mongolian tribes, the Mongolian cavalry was invincible in an instant, and they all over the Eurasian continent, and they broke through the Arab world, forming the five Khanate countries that occupied more than half of the human territory at that time.

Similarly, Li Xingzhou, a group of black bandits, never cared about it. He was not afraid of black leopards, bear villages, and jade-faced foxes. These people could not become a big climate. At most, each village had a few hundred people. The largest village had a limit of nearly a thousand people. What he was afraid of was that these people united.

As the prefect, Wang Tong was anxious to come to him to discuss countermeasures after hearing the news.

Speaking of countermeasures, there are actually not many. The reason is that Jiang Xian’s army was transferred to Guanbei, and Ningjiang Prefecture’s Xiang army had only five or six hundred, so this matter could only be relied on the Yang family army in Taiyuan.

However, the three places of the Three Jungfranchise, Daizhou, Ninghua and Baode, formed independent troops. Yang Wenguang was both the prefect of Taiyuan and the commander of the Three Jungfranchise.

The commander of the Three Exchanges is like his new army commander. Only the Emperor's Tiger Talisman can command orders, otherwise they will become independent army. Not to mention that he is a commander of the far-reaching commander, even the governor cannot call it.

In this way, the soldiers he could use were only 500 soldiers in Jiangzhou's wing army, plus the 200 new army sharpshooters he brought, and later added six artillery squads and six artillery pieces.

There were only seven or eight hundred people in total, and they gathered in the auxiliary army, barely reaching a thousand. There was no way to face such a large-scale bandit.

There is no way to do it, so he dare not fight. If he fights head-on, Li Xingzhou is not afraid. The problem is that the front line is too long and the Black Mountain bandits have the initiative and don’t know where they will attack.

After an overnight discussion, he and Wang Tong, Wang Ke, Shen Lin, Xie Linjiang, and the chief of the Eight Room decided to let Shen Lin lead the Xiang army to station in the north of Jiangzhou to prevent accidents. Taihang Mountain is high and Ningjiang Prefecture is in passive defense. There are several northern counties and Heishan bandits who want to go to any county. This is a front line that stretches for more than 200 miles, and it is impossible to defend it with more than 500 people.

This makes things very complicated and difficult. If the Black Mountain bandits come out again, they can attack any county in the north. If they are full of their lives, they will be difficult to deal with.

After discussing until midnight, all he came up with was a temporary solution. Li Xingzhou went back to the yard to rest. When he returned to the yard, He Qian was waiting downstairs.

"Go to my house to sleep, I promise not to do anything." Li Xingzhou said something he didn't believe in. He Qian snorted and stuffed the food box to him, "You, don't think about it."

While eating the midnight supper sent by He Qian, Li Xingzhou couldn't help but sigh in his heart that his queen and grandmother were really considerate of him.

In fact, he had heard from Degong that when he and the little girl went to Meiyuan, they were seen by the emperor and the queen. He just didn't expect that the queen was acting so quickly.

The queen's intentions are obvious, but he still has to explain some things to the little girl.

While eating, he said to the little girl at the table: "Do you know why the queen does that?"

He Qian's face turned slightly red and she shook her head.

Li Xingzhou then pulled her over and placed her on his lap.

"You eat well, don't tamper..." She protested, but her body did not stop her.

"The queen is thinking for me, she thought carefully. Duke De was the leader of the powerful ministers of the old ministers, so she promised Ah Giao to me because she wanted the Deguild to protect me in the past few years." Li Xingzhou said and took a sip of chicken soup: "And your father is the leader of the powerful ministers of the new party, so she might give you to me because she wanted to wait for Duke De to come down and your father would protect me, do you understand?

In this way, there will be someone to protect me in the next few years and more than ten years. Even if the prince succeeds to the throne, she doesn’t have to worry. She is the emperor and may be the queen mother in the future. But the prince is not her biological child, so she doesn’t have that much capital. She is very smart and knows that she can’t rely on herself to protect her grandson, so she borrows the Duke De and your father’s hand.” He said as he put down the spoon and touched the little girl’s head.

The little girl lowered her head, "I understand, what about you..."

"Um?"

"I... I don't care what the Queen thinks, I want to know what you think." He Qian raised her head, her eyes not about the liveliness of the past, but about something closer to stubbornness.

"I envy Sister Ajiao, who is well-educated and beautiful, but I know in my heart that I am definitely not Sister Ajiao..." The little girl's eyes firmly said: "I am different from her. She is very excellent and amazing, but I am me."

When I think of what I want, I will fight for it. I not only watch it, even if there is no queen, I... will come to Jiangzhou. I have already thought about it and I will come alone.

So... I want to know what you think, I just care what you think..."

Li Xingzhou caressed her back, feeling a sense of indemnity in her heart, and said with a smile: "Even if there is no queen, I will threaten your father and ask him to send you to the royal palace honestly."

"Why is it a threat?"

"I'm afraid he won't be happy..." Li Xingzhou thought of He Zhao's black face again: "Stay tonight." He was uneasy again.

"No..." The little girl refused firmly. She was careless, but she was not stupid. She knew how to fight for herself. She knew how a good girl would hold a man's appetite so that she would not be cheaper...

.........

A few days later, when the Jiangzhou Prefecture Office was busy planning to deal with the Black Mountain bandits, the emperor's imperial edict came, and the 20,000-two-time silver throttled by the Zhisi also followed the official ship to the orderly Jiangzhou Ferry.

The King of Pingnan, the transfer envoy from Beijing, had only verbal praises. For the Ganlin, he added a general of the cavalry and went to Beijing to listen to the command. More than 20 officials including Tongzhi of Ningjiang Prefecture were escorted to Beijing, and they would be handled by the Censorate and Dali Temple.

Many absentees were released at once. Wang Ke was promoted to Tongzhi, Xie Linjiang was promoted to Judge. Shen Yinfeng was promoted to Jinfeng because of his righteousness. At the critical moment, he stood up to identify his brother's father-in-law and was added to the founding man and the court was dispersed. Although it was a false position, adding this to a merchant family was equivalent to a trump card in saving his life.

The situation in the court changed drastically, and so was Jiangzhou. Many officials broke through the threshold. The gan family, which had already become bleak due to the competition, became popular again. Not only was the family rich, but the second son, Shen Yinfeng, became the Chaosan doctor, and became a fifth-rank guerrilla general in the rank of Shenlin. He could be promoted until the beginning of next spring.

The most important thing is that they have a good relationship with King Pingnan.

Many people have a more sensitive nose than a dog. This time, a big man in the court took the lead, and people in northern Beijing followed suit in order to defeat King Pingnan. As a result, King Pingnan was still good in the end, and none of the ones who jumped up and down had a good end.

Even the deputy minister in the middle of the court was exiled to Guanbei, and it was clear who lost and who won and did not have to try his best to speculate.

In this case, it would be a fool.

But Li Xingzhou didn't have time to care about the general environment. Jiangzhou had settled down, but there were no bandits in the Black Mountains, the Jin Kingdom, and there were no Mongolia behind it.

The Jin Kingdom was invincible, and Mongolia pushed the world wide. Those huge uneasiness and shadows were shrouded in my heart. The more I cared about, the more I was afraid.

This is how people are. The more people or things they care about, the more fulfilled they live and the more tiring they are.

Therefore, some people choose to escape for peace. They pray for what will happen in the next life, and then live this life in a slack manner, hoping to see through the world and be free of worries.

Because there is no concern, there is no pressure. Unfortunately, Li Xingzhou couldn't deceive himself. Who made him come from such a distant future? He had long been denied by the cold science of the next life of gods and Buddhas, and he could only rely on himself.

Science is cruel, cruelly telling you how small you are, and cruelly erasing the excuses that comfort you, so people are forced to the dead end, either carrying a burden or being driven crazy on the road.

Therefore, anti-science has always had a market, because science is cruel and ruthless.

Now, I added He Qian. Although I only showed it but not food, the little girl had long regarded the royal palace as her own home. What can she do with her...

Looking up at the gray night sky, Li Xingzhou thought in his mind that at this time, with the rise of the Jin Kingdom and the weakening of the Liao Kingdom, the wolves on the grassland were about to start to move. The lone wolf was not scary, but the wolves even had to give in to the tiger.

.........

"This place is more than ten steps downstairs, and the crossbow arrows are more than an inch into the wood. They are not ordinary crossbows, with cow tendons and hardwood crossbow arms, and the tension is more than two stones. They are strong crossbows in the army." Wei Yubai touched the crossbow arrows left by the black bandits on the wooden pillars of the city tower and said.

"Miss Wei is very knowledgeable." The man who was about twenty-five years old and wearing iron armor following her was wearing iron armor. He was dark and thin and masculine.

Behind them were other school lieutenants, with a total of seven or eight people. The young man was the prefect of Taiyuan, who led the military service and the commander Yang Wenguang's eldest son.

He had been guarding Daizhou City before and had confronted the Liao people for several years. This time, such a major event occurred in Weiteng was under the jurisdiction of Taiyuan Prefecture. He hurriedly led people south to check the Yang family's military rations.

"It's just common sense to be in the border." She said casually, continuing to observe the surroundings.

The entire city wall aisle was almost shot into a sieve, and the crossbow arrows on the pillars were blocked, but behind the wooden boards, the room inside the window was the place where soldiers stayed at night. The crossbow arrows passed through the thin window and shot the sleeping soldier to death and injured the bed.

According to the defenders, the soldiers patrolling the city at that time did not expect that the other party had a powerful crossbow in their hands and were shot and killed immediately.

A powerful crossbow is not as good as a bow. If you can use two stone bows, you can be considered a warrior without a single person in the army.

But any soldier can easily use two stone crossbows. The crossbow can take advantage of tricks without much effort. It takes years of practice. Therefore, it is hard to defend. In addition, it was dark and the soldiers lit torches to patrol the road. The bandits were shot down from the darkness and were shot down from the open.

Wei Yubai was going to Jiangzhou, but after hearing about various things recently, she was excited and couldn't wait to meet the man.

She set out from Taiyuan, walked on Wynn, took the Weiteng, and then went south to enter the Ningjiang Mansion's jurisdiction. She didn't expect to encounter such a thing on the road. That night, due to the snow, she stayed at the inn and saw the fires in the south so she rushed to the road with her personal soldiers overnight. When she arrived in Weiteng the next morning, the bandits had already looted the place.

Yang Hu came on the third day and brought 800 elite Yang family troops.

"I will verify it all day and asked many people that the bandits should be around 2,500, otherwise they would not be able to take so much food. According to the instructions of the defenders, the bandits finally retreated to the east valley road and walked over there to Taihang Mountain. I think it was the Black Mountain bandits." Yang Hu stood at the top of the city and looked at her: "What do the Wei family think of my inference?"

Wei Yubai was a little absent-minded and just nodded: "Brother Yang is right. At this time, he should organize the registration as soon as possible and report it to the King of Pingnan, the transfer envoy in Beijing North." She had a strange idea in her mind, that is, as long as the matter is handed over to him, nothing can be accomplished.

When he turned around, he found that Yang Hu looked at her and seemed to have a bad face.

"What's wrong?"

"My sister Wei, this is our Taiyuan business and has nothing to do with what you are talking about, King Pingnan."

"Taiyuan also belongs to Jingbei Road, and King Pingnan is the transferee of Jingbei."

"But...but...but our Yang family in Taiyuan has the final say!

Besides, I admit that King Pingnan is powerful, but he is intrigue and in power calculations. I heard that he has also slandered the deputy minister of the court these days. I am not as good as him in those sinister and cunning tricks. But when it comes to war, I have fought more than ten years more than him!" Yang Hu said as he raised his chest.

"Besides, there are only some wing troops in his hands that cannot be achieved. What's the use of facing thousands of Black Mountain bandits with powerful crossbows? They will only drag their backs."

Wei Yubai felt that his tone was a little strange, and frowned slightly and said, "Brother Yang may have thought about the wrong key point. The key point is where these black mountain bandits came from and only have the strong crossbows in the army? Have you ever thought about it?

Also, in the past, the Black Mountain bandits were scattered and disorderly, and they fought each other. Why are they now twisted together? If these can be found clearly, they might be able to find out the broken accounts and easily dismantle them.

Wars cannot be won by just rushing upwards. Brother Yang said that King Pingnan would not fight. I don’t think that when the prince brought thousands of people deep into the hinterland of Luzhou and finally defeated 100,000 rebels, if he was not good at fighting, he would not have such great achievements.”

"A good at fighting has no great achievements. Besides, maybe... maybe it's just a singing and singing and talking big."

Wei Yubai didn't know what happened to her elder brother Yang. The more he heard, the more angry he became. He shook his sleeves downstairs, too lazy to say more.

"Sister Wei..." Yang Hu stayed there for a moment.

"General, you are chasing you for hundreds of miles, just to put your hot face on someone's cold butt." said the officer behind.

"Shut up, what do you know." Yang Hu's face looked ugly. "Send more people, send them eastwards, check them out for me, and find out the black bandits. I'll let her see what an iron-blooded man is and what a cartilage-shaped young man is."

"Major General, they have a large number of people and have strong crossbows in their hands, so it is very dangerous to advance recklessly." Someone reminded.

"They have, but we don't?"

A veteran with gray hair and beards stood up: "Major General, it's not a problem. They are familiar with the roads. They know the terrain of the mountains. We outsiders are not familiar with the mountain roads at all..."

"Shut up!" Yang Hu was furious: "I am the major general, not you! Execute the orders to me, otherwise I would disobey the military orders and I will kill you!"
