Water Margin farming to become powerful

Outside Huazhou City.

Liu Guangshi and Fan Ne rode tall horses and looked at the tall city that appeared in their sights from a distance.

"I'm finally back!" Fan Ne was filled with emotion when he said this.

He originally served as the magistrate of Huazhou and started his career. As a result, the Jurchens invaded Huazhou, where he lived, and fled to Kaifeng with their troops. They fought desperately to escape with their lives without even thinking about the chance to return to Huazhou.

He smiled and looked at Liu Guangshi beside him, only to see Liu Guangshi silent.

Just as he was about to speak, Fan Ne saw several young men in ragged clothes being escorted by the sentries in front.

"Are these people the spies who supervise the thieves?"

"My lord, they are all spies of the Supervisory Thieves in Huazhou. Among them are some who are called state supervisors."

Fan Ne nodded: "Detain him and interrogate him severely."

Upon hearing this, Liu Guangshi glanced at the members of the Supervisory Committee who were already covered with scars, and quickly said to Fan Ne: "Sir, we are still fighting. There is no need to interrogate the prisoners before the city is captured."

This time Fan Ne brought [-] soldiers and horses, and his identity was the Hedong Road Xuanfu envoy. Liu Guangshi had been hanging around in the Western Army since his father Liu Yanqing was demoted. Half a month ago, because of Wanyan Zonghan's After the invaders invaded, the Western Army withdrew all the way from the front line to Kaifeng to defend the Holy Emperor.

Liu Guangshi came to Kaifeng with Zhong Shidao. As the most effective team under Zhao Ji at this time, after Zhao Ji decided to join forces with the Jurchens, he sent out all his marching veterans to follow the Song Dynasty. The army went together to take over the cities left by the Jurchens.

The several cadres of the Supervisory Committee were escorted off, and they started to curse loudly on the way.

"You Song officials, you ran away when the Jurchens came. We supervisors will fight to the death. Now that we have seen the results of our supervisors, you have joined forces with the Jurchens to frame us. In addition to framing Zhongliang , what other skills do you Song officials have?"

When Liu Guangshi and the soldiers around him heard this, their faces became hot. Fan Ne was furious when he heard this. He pointed at the young cadre of the Supervisory Committee who had scolded him the most and said, "Cut out his tongue!"

One of his soldiers took out a wrist-breaking knife.He pried open the cadre's mouth, cut off his tongue and threw it on the ground while the other party screamed in pain.

Fan Ne laughed loudly, and then waved to his subordinates: "Get ready to enter the city!"

He turned back to Liu Guangshi and said: "General, it is better to prepare early. After we enter the city, we must clear out the supervisory thieves in the city to prevent these thieves from causing trouble in the city."

Liu Guangshi remained silent.

Although he had fought with his father in the north and south, and was used to all kinds of dirty things in the Song army, but when he asked himself, Liu Guangshi still felt that they were loyal to the court after all. Liu Guangshi also felt that his family was disgraced.

Arriving at the outskirts of the city, three old and four young people from some villages outside Huazhou City had already prepared wine gifts and were waiting on the roadside.

Now that the Jurchens are still in the city, Fan Ne is a little afraid of them and dare not urge them. After hearing that the Jurchens will need some time to rest before leaving, Fan Ne orders the army to station in the villages outside the city.

The squires from several villages outside the city came to greet the army tremblingly. As soon as Fan Ne entered the village, he found the village Baozheng and asked him to prepare meat and wine for the army.The village had just been looted by the Jurchens, and there was no meat or wine left. However, seeing the Song soldiers shouting and yelling, if they did not obey, they would plunder the village. The big landowners were in trouble and had no choice but to search desperately.

The army made a fire to cook outside the city and waited until the afternoon. Fan Ne also felt that he couldn't wait any longer, so he finally sent someone into the city to ask when the Jurchens could move their defenses.

After waiting for a long time, the counselor sent to inquire finally came back:
"Reporting to your lord, the Jurchens in the city said they were afraid of leaving because of the maternity team outside the city."

Hearing this, not only Liu Guangshi, but also Fan Ne was a little stunned.

Liu Guangshi frowned: "Can those Jurchens not be able to defeat the maternity care team of the Supervisory Committee? Do they necessarily need us to send them all the way to the north of the Great Wall?"

The counselor said: "There are three to four thousand Jurchens in the city. If there are only cavalry and they want to withdraw, it will be easy. But the Jurchens mean that they bring a lot of things. There are many maternity care teams near Huazhou. If they encounter When we get to the maternity care team, it is inevitable that we will lose a lot of food and grass."

When Liu Guangshi and his generals heard this, their faces became even more ugly. How could the Jurchens bring so much grain and grass baggage from the north? Most of these so-called grain and grass baggage were looted outside Huazhou City.

These people want to evacuate now. They are not even willing to abandon their looting proceeds, and they want the Song Army to help them protect them.

They were either unable to defeat the maternity team, or they were too lazy to kill people and would rather the Song Army died for them.

He was about to speak when he saw Fan Ne, who was sitting in the commander's position, thinking about it and smiling: "Go and tell the Jurchens in the city clearly if we can protect their baggage and get out of Huazhou safely, they can Evacuate? Don't let them go back on their word when we send troops and help."

Hearing this, the counselor nodded, quickly mounted his horse and ran to Huazhou City again.

Liu Guangshi looked at Fan Ne in surprise.

Fan Ne smiled at Liu Guangshi and said: "One more thing is worse than one less thing. Those supervisory thieves are able to operate outside Huazhou City because there are supervisory thieves in the villages. Now these villages are under our control. If we want to find out the whereabouts of those supervisory thieves, it won’t be difficult.”

"General, you have fought against the thief's maternity care team before. Our panic-stricken soldiers cannot defeat the thief's maternity care team. Could it be that even his maternity care team is no match?"

"I have inquired about it a long time ago. Their maternity care team launched many attacks on Huazhou after the Jurchens entered Huazhou. Now I am afraid that they have run out of ammunition and food. While they are at the end of their attack, we will just attack them. Catch them all in one fell swoop. Anyway, we have to clean up the influence of these supervisory thieves when we enter Huazhou. Even if something happens to them now, at least there are Jurchens who can rely on us, so that the whole army will not be annihilated."

Fan Ne laughed and said, "With such a powerful friendly force, what else do we have to be afraid of?"

Liu Guangshi was stunned for a long time after hearing this, but the counselor ran out soon after entering the city and reported the good news to Fan Ne: "The Jurchen captain in the city is willing to come to our camp in person to make a certificate to ensure that they will be trustworthy. As long as we defeat the maternity team outside the city, they will leave the city immediately."

Fan Ne was extremely satisfied, so he ordered his men to quickly drag in the supervisory committee cadres they had captured for interrogation. At the same time, he also arrested all the three old and four young people from the nearby villages. After a thorough questioning, he must ask the supervisory committee members of each village. layout.

At night, outside Fan Ne's camp, the screams of torture could be heard endlessly. Fan Ne smiled at Liu Guangshi and said, "General, as long as you are ready, you will be able to find out the truth in a short time. Let's take action tonight!"
