Zuo Liangyu looked at Cao Bianjiao's leaving figure, and a few cold lights appeared in his eyes. He reached out and patted Li Ying on the shoulder to show comfort, and then turned his head to look at Yang Xiao: "Liangchen, I didn't expect that you could see that he had no murderous aura and would not be detrimental to us."

Yang Xiao scratched his head: "Brother, how can I know what murderous aura is? In my opinion, we are all Ming army like them. And the eldest brother is even more of the position of deputy general. Cao Bianjiao would not dare to kill the eldest brother no matter what, unless he wants to rebel."

After hearing Yang Xiao's words, Zuo Liangyu couldn't laugh or cry. Although his answer was correct, the process was not what he imagined, so he replied casually: "In the army, the uncle and nephew of the Cao family naturally dared not. But if they were elsewhere, they would really dare to kill them."

After hearing Zuo Liangyu's words, Yang Xiao bowed unnaturally: "Thank you for your teachings, brother."

Zuo Liangyu patted Yang Xiao on the shoulder: "It's already very good that you can think of these."

He ignored the mud and water stains on his body and walked straight towards Shizhai. While walking, he said to Yang Xiao: "Let's go and see your future men."

"Brother, don't make fun of me. My regret now is green." Yang Xiao naturally knew that the subordinates Zuo Liangyu was talking about were the bandits trapped in the carriage. As a pacifier, these bandits are now nominally his subordinates.

Cao Wenzhao was about forty years old, wearing iron armor and a strong face. He was standing at the top of the stone village, across the mouth of the carriage, watching the Ming army inside creating a list of rioters. He saw the conflict between Cao Bianjiao and Zuo Liangyu just now, and he was quite dissatisfied. Although Zuo Liangyu and him were in Liaodong, they did not have much interaction when they were in Liaodong.

Then the two entered Shaanxi and Henan respectively to fight against the thieves. Zuo Liangyu was even more defeated and won fewer victory. Cao Wenzhao even defeated the battle, which made the thieves frightened. There were even rumors in the court that the emperor personally told his side that he was the most loyal and good general today.

In the country's inseparable state, Cao Wenzhao's goal was to be a Yue Wumu who helped the trouble with his own strength, so he naturally looked down on a general like Zuo Liangyu. Moreover, he was promoted to Lintao General because of his defeat of the thief head Wang Jiayin. Zuo Liangyu was just a small deputy general, which made Cao Wenzhao even more despised him. If it weren't for the fact that the two had no affiliation, Cao Wenzhao would have taken down Zuo Liangyu, who disturbed the people. In the entire Ming Dynasty, there were only a few generals who could be respected by him. In addition to Zu Dashou, who was far away in Liaodong, he was just a few people like Ai Wannian.

The order in the carriage was extremely chaotic, and dozens of long dragons were lined up. Although they were all green and strong, their clothes were worn and dirty. In addition, they had been trapped here for a long time and lacked food. Everyone's face was a dead gray color, and there was no hope.

"It's a pity that this battle will determine the opportunity." Cao Wenzhao and Zuo Liangyu's only common point was Chen Qiyu's plan to recruit and pacify, which both of them did not agree with. Since the first year of Chongzhen, the thieves' rebellion, the suppression became more and more intense, and Xuanfu Xuan rebelled. The leaders of the bandits also changed several, from Wang Jiayin to Wang Ziyong, who was trapped in the carriage gorge. The bandits were like grass, and they were resurrected. There were many debates on the methods of pacifying and suppressing the bandits. Chen Qiyu, the governor of the five-sided border, who is now responsible for the suppression of the bandits, is the vanguard of pacifying the bandits.

But in view of Cao Wenzhao and others who had fought with the bandits for a long time, the bandits were extremely cunning and surrendered immediately when the officers and soldiers were in a big way. When the officers and soldiers were in a weak position, they immediately started to cause trouble. Such things have happened many times.

"Scholars are ruining the country!" Cao Wenzhao did not want to meet Zuo Liangyu, so he sighed and went straight to the camp to talk to his nephew.

Since Cao Wenzhao left, Zuo Liangyu didn't have to meet him and took Yang Xiao to the top of the stone village.

At this time, Yang Xiao realized that it was really not unfair to the bandits surrender. On the stone village, two huge iron cannons stood, with muzzles aiming directly at the entrance of the gorge. Behind the stone mountains at the gorge, there was a heavily guarded Ming army position. Before the position, there were deep ditches that were crisscrossed and deep, about 100 meters deep. Obstacles such as deer antlers and horses were placed densely on the edge of the deep ditch to protect the Ming army position.

Not to mention this, there are dozens of huge chariots behind the obstacles. Each one is more than meter inlaid with iron sheets and sharp thorns in front. The cart is connected by iron rings and arranged in a semicircle to face the entrance of the gorge. Look at the iron sheet outside the carriage, which is full of knife wounds and gun marks, and dark red blood stains at the corners.

"Even the heavy rain did not wash away the blood on it, so how tragic it should have been." Seeing this situation, Yang Xiao was secretly surprised.

Behind the iron cart, the Ming army's camp was the camp. Yang Xiao could clearly see that although the neatly dressed Ming army soldiers were in groups of three or two, each of them had their swords and guns within reach.

There are two towering hanging buckets erected at the two corners of the stone village. You can see the shadows of Ming soldiers on it, and Yang Xiao even clearly saw the horns held by the Ming soldiers on the hanging bucket.

"It's true that the bandits are very cautious. As long as the bandit moves, they will be immediately seen by the soldiers on the hanging bucket. When the horn blows, the army stands up. In addition, the deep ditches resist horses blocking the road, and it is so difficult to escape from the sky." Yang Xiao looked at the decorations of the Ming army camp, while pondering. In his original impression, the vulnerable thoughts of the Ming army had been overturned.

Looking at the stone mountain blocking the entrance of the village, more than ten long archers were staring at the bottom. Beside each archer, there was a spearman and two sword and shield hands protecting each archer to prevent the bandits from suddenly attacking and caught them off guard.

Looking into the mouth of the gorge, there were only a few long gray dragons. At the end of the dragon were several tables, and behind each table were people dressed in books. They asked about the bandits lined up in front of them, while writing hard on the roster on the table.

Zuo Liangyu pointed to the thieves lined up not far away and said, "There are so many ants that they bite the elephant to death, not to mention that these thieves are all gangsters. In recent years, they have been fighting in the fourth field and siege cities and plundering the land. They have countless lives under their own lives. Although they look dull now, it is because they have no food and do not know what the court plans to do. Once they leave the box and see blood, they become tigers again. They do not need weapons, and they can tear the comfort officers sent by Chen Qiyu to pieces with their teeth."

After hearing Zuo Liangyu's words, Yang Xiao was speechless. He naturally knew the consequences. When he thought of having to deal with these people before leaving the plank road, he felt a little chilled.

He looked at the long dragon below with a serious expression. Suddenly a figure caught his attention. He asked Zuo Liangyu strangely: "Brother, is there still a woman in the thief's team?"

"Of course, is it that the elder brother is still learning from them?" Zuo Liangyu replied casually. He followed Yang Xiao's gaze and then said: "This woman should not be a forced plundered woman, I don't know whose family member it is."

When she mentioned the woman, Zuo Liangyu felt itchy all over, patted Yang Xiao on the shoulder and said, "Let's go and take a look."

"Not good!" Yang Xiao hesitated.

"What's wrong with this? Are you afraid that these thieves will not be able to eat you." Zuo Liangyu said proudly: "Even if the thief is rampant, he has to give me a good Fushun when he sees me. Not to mention that they have asked for the Ming army now, even when the two armies are in opposition, they will have to call me General Zuo when they see me."

"He still wants to get weapons from you, so he will naturally not offend you." Yang Xiao said to himself, and then he saw Zuo Liangyu walking down the steps of the stone village excitedly.
