Water Margin farming to become powerful

Chapter 371
Wu Song said to Murong Yanda: "I was afraid that I would not be able to enter Kong Bin's mansion, or that they would cooperate to make Kong Bin escape, so I promised in advance that I would only arrest Kong Bin and not destroy the house next door. Dingkou Caihuo, this is someone who is willing to help. They are also credited for being able to catch Kong Bin so quickly."

Murong Yanda nodded repeatedly when he heard this. Wu Song only promised that these offshoots of the Kong family would not be implicated, but Kong Bin's own property, including this mansion and many properties below, can be manipulated. That's enough, and it still looks magnanimous without implicating others.

He was very satisfied with Wu Song's handling. Not only did he agree not to harm the offshoot of the Kong family, but he even sought out the relative of the Kong family who recognized Kong Bin's position to praise and comfort him, promising that he would be the next one. Come to serve as Baozheng of Kongjia Village.

The Kong Family Village will definitely be dismembered by him in the future, and a lot of money will be extorted from it. Murong Yanda found such an agent to manage the Kong Family Village for him, because the agent who was hastily supported by him would treat him with nothing. Without the ability to resist, Murong Yanda could only get several hundred guan from this sum.

Before noon that day, a group of people pressed Kong Bin back to Qingzhou City.

When they arrived outside Qingzhou City, Wu Song parted with everyone.

Seeing Wu Song leaving Murong Yanda with a battalion of troops and riding on the horse, he was full of praise, but Zeng Suo who was beside him had mixed feelings in his heart.

Before Zengtou City Zhuangding and Wu Song's guards attacked Kongjia Village together, he asked about the condition of the walls of the other three villages, and the result was similar to the wall of the village where he was. The number of enemies was completed by the protection army, and the militia in Zengtou City also played a powerful role.

The difference in combat capabilities between the two sides was so obvious that he now doubted whether the militiamen under his command could complete the mission of conquering Liangshan.Even if he could win, would he really be able to expand the territory of Zengtou City by relying on the combat effectiveness of one of his troops to establish a reputation in Shandong as he imagined before, just like Sun Xin two years ago?

Zeng Suo backed down a little in his heart, and even thought about just going back like this.

Wu Song took the guards back to the camp, first found Sun Xin and Luan Tingyu and reported to them the situation of the battle.

Two of the escorts were wounded, none were seriously injured, and no one was left behind or died.

Luan Tingyu and Sun Xin were not surprised by this situation. The Kongjia Village on the opposite side was just guarded by a group of simple Zhuang Ding Baojia. The so-called defense was nothing more than some temporary rammed earth walls. To lay down a village is nothing more than the possibility of killing more people.

It would be too easy for the guards to attack and take down the entire village in an hour.

Sun Xin asked Zeng Suo and their Zengtou civilian soldiers one by one about the combat situation. After listening to Wu Song's description, Sun Xin nodded.

Wu Song's evaluation of Zengtou militiamen is not low, at least on the same level as Liangshan bandits, or even slightly higher, not as useless as Zeng Suo imagined.

He said that it would not be difficult to take down the Kongjia Village with the fighting power of Zengtou militiamen.It's just that their training and equipment levels are really not comparable to those of the protection army, which is why they panicked under the village wall.

"If it weren't for us to fight with them, I'm afraid the militiamen in Zengtou City would fight even harder."

Sun Xin nodded, as if two people were running together, one of them was a professional and the other was just an ordinary enthusiast. Seeing the professional athlete running forward, the ordinary sports enthusiast behind saw this situation subconsciously. Thoughts of withdrawal arise.

If the difference between the two sides is too great, it will directly hit the arrogance and motivation of the weaker side.

In fact, if the Zengtou militiamen recruited hundreds of people, they could easily take Kongjia Village by themselves, and it would not even take much longer than the protection army, but it might require more manpower.

"Zeng Suo saw how brave our guards are, and I saw that he was faintly flinching when he went back." Wu Song said with a smile: "It is impossible to take action with us and scare him back directly. Alright."

Sun Newsyan couldn't help laughing, and after thinking for a while, he shook his head and said, "Probably not. In fact, it would be a better result if he went back directly. It is probably impossible to encircle Liangshan in this battle. He If the Zengtou militiamen go up, they will definitely lose something."

Sun Xin knew that Zeng Suo had nowhere to go, so he couldn't suddenly turn around and say that he didn't want to go, and then bring the more than 1000 teams he managed to gather back to Zengtou City in a mighty way, right?This is not only a matter of being ridiculed, but even he has no place to stay in Zengtou City.

If Zeng Suo could grit his teeth and take his Zengtou militiamen back at this time, Sun Xin would still look at him high. This shows that Zeng Suo is not only able to make accurate strategic judgments, but also can endure other people's eyes.

That afternoon, Murong Yanda sent someone to Sun Xin's camp to express his gratitude and praise to Sun Xin. It took only half a day for the results of Kong Bin's interrogation to come out. It is said that Kong Bin recognized them. There are more than 5000 pieces of property in the family that Kong Liang hid in their Kongjia Village.

Sun Xin wanted to laugh when he heard this number. Kong Liang is crazy to hide more than 5000 huge assets in an uncle like himself.

He asked Wu Song about the situation of Kong Bin's family, and he quickly understood that the total property of Kong Bin's family was estimated to be five or six thousand guan, of which cash money may only be a few hundred guan, and most of them The assets are all land and houses, and this Murong Yanda actually wants to turn them into stolen goods and eat them all in one go.

This Kong Bin colluded with Kong Liang, and the officials under Murong Yanda actually found the letters he made friends with Kong Liang from his home.

Wu Song and Sun Xin analyzed that it is not credible that Kong Liang hid wealth in Kong Bin's house, but these letters should not be fake.

The people sent by Murong Yanda told them that it was agreed in the letter that Kong Bin would provide various resources behind Kong Liang when he attacked Qingzhou City. The number of defenders and the deployment situation were revealed to Kong Liang.

It's just that after Sun Xin confirmed it, he also knew that Kong Bin had just sent people into Qingzhou City to investigate, and he hadn't figured out the defenses of the camps he built outside the city.

This also reassured him that his protection army's secrecy work was still done very well, and these disciplines were not just decorations.

But just for this one, Kong Bin is a heinous person, in order to boost the morale of the army when it is time to fight.Murong Yanda directly ordered Kong Bing to be executed.

According to legal procedures, to behead a prisoner, you need to report from the county to the state government step by step, until Bianliang is approved by Zhao Ji. In order to show their generosity, the number of decapitated people who are actually tried and confirmed every year is very small.

It's just that local officials like this don't need to be so troublesome if they want to kill a person.

Just like in the case of Kong Bin, when the war was chaotic, he was directly charged with a crime and killed for the reason of rushing to power.

This is why the big households these days need a Zhuang Ding to defend themselves, otherwise they are really just a piece of meat in the mouth of the government.In theory, of course, it is possible to sue the officials for grievances, but after the person is dead, no matter how much you go up to appeal for grievances, you will not be able to make up for your life.

After expressing Murong Yanda's appreciation to Sun Xin, the officials sent by Murong Yanda said that Murong Yanda urged them to send the soldiers to Qingzhou City to sit in the town as soon as possible.

Murong Yanda saw the bravery of Sun Xin's guards today, he was delighted to see Lie, and hoped that he would quickly send those thousand soldiers into the city for protection.

Sun Xin and Luan Tingyu had discussed it a long time ago, and immediately mobilized a regiment to go to the city.

This regiment is used for the defense of the city. It defends the city defense during battle and can also attack from the city. This is the simplest field regiment with a population of 300. It consists of three battalions of [-] men, each with a silver The artillery company carried a total of six small bronze cannons.

Just when Sun Xin was about to enter the city, Hu Yanzhuo's soldiers finally moved out. More than 3 people set off from around Qingzhou City in a mighty way, and headed for Liangshan in a noisy way.

Zeng Suo also bid farewell to Sun Xin and others. Lao Zhang had already returned to Zengtou City. From Zeng Suo's appearance, Sun Xin could see that he was really hesitant, but in the end Zeng Suo didn't dare to choose to go back to Zengtou City. Wrapped together to go to Liangshan.

It was a big event that the army of more than 3 was about to be dispatched. It took half a month before the food and grass were delivered to the temple.

In the midst of this crowd of people, Du Cai and his elder brother Sun Li came to Qingzhou again. Du Cai and the bank of the Supervisory Committee sent the military salary to Sun Li, who was worried about the safety of his younger brother Sun Xin, so he made an excuse to come to Qingzhou to help in the war.

After talking a few words with his elder brother Sun Li, Sun Xin couldn't help looking at Du Cai who jumped out of the carriage in surprise.

Only more than ten days have passed, but this time Du Cai changed into the previous long-sleeved robe and wore a bunt similar to Sun Xin's hand man. Sun Xin was quite surprised, Du Cai smiled and said: "Since you are working in the Bank of the Supervisory Board, you should dress similarly."

Now many of the staff in the newly established Bank of the Supervisory Committee are from the University of the Supervisory Committee. These people were originally accustomed to the bunt school uniforms of the University of the Supervisory Committee.And because I didn't have good clothes when I first joined the job, I wore shorts to work, but I didn't change them after a period of time.

This is not because they are so frugal, these people will still spend money after they get rich, but because the bunts of the Supervisory Council University have the attribute of proving that they are university graduates, even if they can wear long gowns, they are not willing Instead, the time travels more vigorously.

Du Cai only had the name of a steward in the Bank of the Supervisory Committee, and his job was to check the accounts when he was bored. Anyway, he only received dividends and had no decision-making power over policies, so Sun Xin apparently asked Jiang Jing to leave him alone. , Of course, let Wu Song's dealers quietly monitor in private.
