A group of gentry in Baosheng Fort are controversial, and many people think that Inspection Commissioner Zhao will definitely not be able to save him. What we need to consider now is to confirm that the attack is only a small group of thieves or return to the Zuowu Camp, or to commit a large-scale crime.

It would be fine if it was just a small group of bandits, but if it was back to Zuowu Camp and wanted to cross the border, the situation would be very bad. Although the power of the Zuowu Camp has not been so arrogant in the past two years and has weakened a little, it is still the best among the bandits, with many soldiers and many thieves. If they attacked, everyone would have to rely on themselves to protect their family and property.

"We should immediately send a team to the mountains without withdrawing at night to find out the information." Hu Duke Guo suggested.

Mei Zhihuan looked at the Qi Huang topographic map in front of her and couldn't understand the current danger. Once the thousands of Huizuo Fifth Camp, which were originally entrenched in the Yinghuo Mountain District, Dabie Shandong, came over, it would be a disaster. Mei Zhihuan considered it similar to what Hu Gongguo thought, and felt that Lao Huihui and the old thieves were going to cross the border to the west to Junzhou and Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai, the two thieves gathered together.

"Immediately transfer the night and don't take it to the mountains to inquire. I need to know the specific situation." Mei Zhihuan said, "In addition, we will gather all the townships and soldiers, and we will contact all the big families and business companies to gather the troops. This time we may have to fight a tough battle. In addition, the county will also take action to prepare money and grain, and also call some young and strong people."

Lu Jinxi nodded repeatedly. "Then when will we send troops?"

Mei Zhihuan pondered, "The thief is powerful, and you should not fight rashly if you are not clear and clear, otherwise Inspection Zhao will be the lesson of the past. Let's talk about it after all the teams gather."

At this moment, the servants outside reported, "Young Master Chunjiang is looking for a meeting outside."

Mei Zhihuan was a little surprised. Didn’t Li Chunjiang recover from his injuries at home at this time? Why did he come here?

"please!"

Li Chunjiang was not seriously injured. After taking the medicine, it was no longer affected by walking for a few days. He strode into the hall and said to Mei Zhihuan anxiously, "Mr. Mei, I just got the news that Jiye brought about ten nine-headed brothers and 120 newly recruited village warriors to rescue Zhao inspector. I heard that there were three or four hundred thieves besieging Zhao inspector. Mei, please send troops to reinforce Jiye quickly."

"What?"

Mei Zhihuan was also shocked. Before, Magistrate Lu told him that when Inspection Commissioner Zhao sent someone to ask for help from Liu Jun in Taiping Township, he also believed that Liu Jun, who had no soldiers, would definitely not take the risk to go to rescue. Who knew that Liu Jun actually went there. He brought about a dozen Nine-Headed Birds team members and 12 newly recruited new students.

He really didn't know whether Liu Jun was brave or reckless.

But this is not the time to consider these things. Liu Jun is a young man he admires very much. If the king dies like this, he will definitely find it difficult to accept it.

"Call the horse team immediately and let them set off immediately to reinforce Liu Jun." Mei Zhihuan shouted loudly.

"Mr. Mei, don't be careless." Several gentry advised. But Mei Zhihuan could no longer listen. Li Chunjiang said happily, "I'll hurry with them now."

It takes time to assemble a large group of people, but the 200-horse horse team in Baosheng Fort is on standby at any time. After receiving Mei Zhihuan's order, the horse team quickly gathered together, and Li Chunjiang and his more than ten servants had prepared their saddle horses and waited on the side.

"Go away, drive!"

The large group of people galloped out of the fort and headed north.

The people inside and outside the fort were surprised to see this momentum, "The horse team ran out so quickly, what happened again?"

A well-informed vendor hurriedly said to everyone, "You don't know yet, the bandits in the east have come here. Inspection officer Zhao and his archers from the Hutou Pass Inspection Department were surrounded by thieves. The nine-headed bird Liu Jiye, who had just wiped out a group of bandits, rushed over with only a dozen township warriors. But it was said that there were hundreds of bandits. Just now, Mr. Chunjiang came over to ask Mr. Mei to be reinforced by the horse team and rushed to reinforce."

"Oh, this Liu Jiye is really bold."

"He is called bravery, he is a hero."

"Young Master Chunjiang is not bad, he is loyal enough."

"That's it. I heard that Mr. Chunjiang and Liu Jiye had burned yellow paper and chopped the chicken's head and knelt on the ground to become sworn brothers."

Li Chunjiang rode his horse wildly, not knowing the discussions of the people behind him. He is now worried about Liu Jun, for fear that this guy will be killed by the thief. He finally met such a friend and brother of a kind, and he doesn't want him to die like this.

"hurry up."

"Hurry up."

Li Chunjiang kept urging the horse team to accelerate.

It took only an hour to arrive from Baosheng Fort to Hutouguan Inspection Department, 80 miles away.

In the Hutou Pass Inspection Office, Liu Jun was looking at the official yamen in the mountains. The inspection office was not located in the county town or in the town, but was located on some important roads in Guanjin, similar to a checkpoint. The yamen in Hutou Pass has three official halls, one wing room, one ceiling door, and one left and right corner gates. There is also a wall outside the entire yamen, with a total circumference of 80 zhang, which is not small.

The wall is two meters high and is well laid out.

Usually, the inspection department's inspection office works and accommodation here, and the archers also live here. There is even a prison cell in the yard, which is where the inspectors detain thieves, arrest deserters, and smugglers.

"Captain Liu, a large number of horses came from the south, with no less than 200 riders, and they arrived immediately." Wang Qian, who was in charge of the alert outside, ran into the official hall of the yamen to report to Liu Jun.

"Big Cavalry?" Liu Jun suddenly became nervous. Those with horses were elite, whether they were on the side of the official army or the bandits. The large cavalry team with two hundred cavalry was a very strong force, definitely not the more than 300 mobs they had repelled before. However, were they from the south coming from Macheng? But they came too quickly.

"Come and take a look, and keep your brothers alert and ready to fight at any time."

Fortunately, the inspection office is equivalent to a small castle. When the door is closed, there are more than a hundred people guarding it, so it is not easy for the other party to attack. However, Liu Jun hopes that the thief is not coming, but his own people.

Liu Jun stepped on the ladder and climbed up the wall, holding a thousand-mile mirror and looking at the horse team getting closer and closer, but unexpectedly found a familiar figure.

"Public album!"

Liu Jun smiled. At this time, he had seen many familiar faces. Many of them had drunk and chatted with each other during the last time they suppressed bandits. He had already recognized that the other party was the horse team from Baosheng Fort.

"Mr. Zhao, don't worry, we are our own people. Gong Ji brought the Baosheng Fort Horse Team and reinforcements arrived. We don't worry about the bandits anymore." Liu Junchangsong said to Zhao Dagu with a smile.

When Zhao Dagu heard that it was his own people, he sighed and laughed. The rest of the archers cheered. Although they had defeated the thieves before, they were still worried that the thieves would come again immediately. Now that so many elite reinforcements have arrived, there is no need to worry about the thieves anymore.

"Open the door!" Zhao Dagu shouted, and a group of archers ran over and opened the door that was killed.

Liu Jun took everyone out to greet him.

"Public record!" Liu Jun shouted with a smile. Li Chunjiang was covered in dust. Seeing that Liu Jun was greeted, he couldn't help but be surprised. He turned over and jumped off the horse and ran over, "Jiye, are you okay?"

"Of course it's okay."

Li Chunjiang beat him up and down several times unexpectedly, "Didn't you say you brought a dozen old brothers and more than one hundred new recruits to rescue Inspection Zhao?"

"Yes, but we have rescued the person. Come and I will introduce you to you. This is inspector Zhao." Liu Jun introduced Zhao Dagu to Li Chunjiang.

Several team leaders behind Li Chunjiang looked at Liu Jun and Zhao Dagu in disbelief, "Didn't you say there are hundreds of thieves?"

"There are indeed hundreds of thieves." Zhao Dagu took the initiative to answer at this time, "At that time, we were chasing several thieves, but we were ambushed and besieged. Finally, we were trapped on a small hill in the north, surrounded by hundreds of thieves at the foot of the mountain, almost at the end of the journey. At that time, I thought I must die there, but Brother Liu came over with more than a hundred brothers and then fought against the bandits who were several times more than they had before."

"That battle was really hard to believe. Brother Liu was really amazing. He only brought more than 100 newly recruited township chariots for only a few days. The team members each had a bamboo gun, and the bird guns of the old nine-headed birds, and immediately killed the hundreds of bandits and fled in panic, leaving fifty bodies, including seventeen thieves riding horses."

Several horse captains felt like they were listening to the heavenly books.

Li Chunjiang was a little convinced. Before, Liu Jun only took one month to train a group of recruits to destroy more than 50 bandits in one fell swoop. Now he has recruited new recruits that have only been recruited for a few days and defeated hundreds of bandits. Li Chunjiang didn't think it was too strange.

"Although there are many thieves, there are actually only a dozen capable thieves. The rest are just some old and weak mobs. When we passed by a row of bird guns, the earth-shaking people were almost fainted. Then there were bows and arrows and spear formations. The thieves could not resist. As soon as the leaders died, they immediately dispersed." Liu Jun said with a smile, but it was equivalent to admitting what Zhao Dagu said.

"Go and drink water inside." Liu Jun pulled everyone into the yamen.

The captains of the horse team followed into the yamen. As soon as they entered, they saw a pile of things in the playground in the courtyard. Several young people were wiping up the lime. A captain walked over and looked at it carefully, but found that they were all heads one by one.

It turned out that the pile was full of human heads, with dozens of them, while the young people were pickling these human heads with lime to prevent rotting.

Looking next to it, there were also a pile of captured thieves' flags, armor, swords and guns, etc. There were several horses tied under the tree, and even a row of meat was hung with hooks. When you looked closely, you found that it was all horse meat.

Now he really believed that Liu Jun had indeed rescued Zhao Dagu and defeated the bandits. These were all real evidence in front of him. The war horses were seized, and the horse meat must have been pulled back by the war horses who were injured or killed on the battlefield. In addition, there were swords, guns, armor, and even these heads.

"How many were killed?" he asked.

Zhao Dagu replied on the side, "Brother Liu led his team to defeat more than 300 bandits and killed fifty, including seventeen horse thieves. Our inspection department killed dozens of enemies in front and behind, and killed twenty-seven levels!"

The real seventy-seven heads are a great victory.

"I wonder how many brothers have suffered casualties?" Li Chunjiang looked at so many gains and hurriedly asked about the casualties.

"Mr. Zhao's men were killed in battle, three were seriously injured and disabled, and the rest were slightly injured. Our Nine-Headed Birds were in better condition, only a few of them suffered minor injuries and no casualties."

At this time, Li Chunjiang looked back at the nine-headed recruits in the yard. They were all very strong and tall, especially with a firm look in their eyes. They were indeed good soldiers. But it was still shocking. Liu Jun actually brought these 12 new recruits with more than ten brothers and fought with hundreds of bandits head-on, but he even ran away, and he had basically no casualties.

Oh my God, Liu Jun and Liu Jiye were born to lead troops to fight.

"You shouldn't be recuperating at home now? Why are you here? And you came so quickly?" Liu Jun asked.

"I heard that you brought about a hundred newly recruited team members to rescue Zhao Xunzhang, who was besieged by hundreds of bandits. How could I sit there? When I ran to Mei Gong, he sent the horse team. He ran and jogged all the way, but in vain, you had already settled everything by yourself."

Liu Jun hurriedly said, "I thank you very much and the brothers of the horse team for coming to reinforce, really."

"Why are brothers talking about those things? Okay, I have to send someone back to tell Gong Mei, otherwise he will still worry about you. But I wonder what kind of wonderful expression he will have when the person who reported the news told Gong Mei that you had defeated hundreds of thieves with only more than 100 new recruits." Li Chunjiang said with a smile.
