Chapter 106 The Brave Knight

"Kill me!!!"

Sima Ban raised the spear in his hand and shouted.

His knights rushed towards the "rioters" in the distance.

As soon as they approached Heyin County, they encountered a large group of "rioters". These rioters were fleeing everywhere with their families. When they saw this cavalry, the panic in their eyes was even stronger than when they saw thieves.

They started to run away, yelling and screaming.

Sima Ban was very sure that the people in front of him were the mob participating in the rebellion. Otherwise, why would they be so scared after seeing the Wei cavalry?

Only mobs are afraid of their own cavalry!
The battle was about to break out, with knights fighting against these unarmed mobs. Sima Ban fully demonstrated his superb command skills. These cruel and tyrannical rebels who started the rebellion were defeated at the first touch by the righteous knights.

The brave knights raised their weapons high and engaged in a fierce battle.

Each of them fought one against ten, killing everyone in their way. The hateful little rebel was trampled to death by their horses' hooves. This action completely enraged the surrounding rebels, and they rushed towards the knights in anger. However, facing the armored knights, they had no power to fight back. Some people picked up stones and threw them at the knights, but it did not cause any harm.

Soon, these rebels fell on the roadside, and the generals chopped off their heads and settled their military merits.

This is not the end of the battle, it's just the beginning.

In the distant county town, there were rebels everywhere. The knights looked at the distance greedily, and without waiting for Sima Ban's encouragement, they raised their spears and started charging.

Heyin County, which was in chaos due to Wang Yuan and others, welcomed jackals that were more ferocious than them. They wantonly slaughtered everyone they met along the way and treated everyone as a traitor.

Such things also happened in several surrounding counties.

According to the emperor's decree, county magistrates in all places were required to guard the dangerous roads and not allow the rebels to escape. When the fleeing people met these people, their eyes also flashed with the greedy green light of wolves.

"Rebels are attacking!!"

"kill!!"

The common people who had suffered countless hardships to get here were probably devastated when they saw the charging soldiers. They fled crying, but they could not escape the galloping horses.

There was a huge commotion throughout Henan Yin, and the carnivores treated this as a hunt to gain military merit.

But at the same time, there were also those who were unwilling to give in. After learning about the great things that Wang Yuan and others had done, they showed their fangs.

On the same day, a village headman in Ping County summoned prisoners to rebel, killed the county magistrate who came to "guard against the rebels", proclaimed himself the general who was fighting against the rebels, and attacked the county government office in the city.

When Yin Damu brought his knights to Heyin County, Sima Ban had already achieved great military merit.

The entire county was engulfed in flames, corpses were scattered across the ground, and countless innocent heads were placed in carriages, their empty eyes staring at the sky.

Yin Damu took a deep breath.

Those empty eyes made him feel creepy. For a moment, he even began to hate Guo Ze who caused all this.

And the complacent Sima Ban in front of him was still shamelessly boasting about his own achievements.

"I only used a few hundred men, and killed nearly a thousand rebels in one battle!!"

Sima Ban boasted to his colleagues and subordinates about how he had defeated ten powerful rebels alone.

Yin Damu looked at him calmly, suppressing the murderous intent in his heart.

At this moment, his hatred for Sima Ban surpassed his resentment towards Sima Shi.

Even a ruthless person like Sima Shi would never do such a thing as massacring civilians to pretend he had made a military achievement!!!

"Captain Yin, you're late!"

Sima Ban pointed to Mount Wangwu in the distance and said, "I've learned from my inquiries that the bandit leader is heading towards the mountain. You can lead your men to hunt down any rebels along the way. I'll leave them to you to deal with."

He hinted slightly, then whispered, "The general wants us to take Wang Yuan's head and rescue Mr. Guo. You see, my army arrived here first and fought the enemy, and they are exhausted. I will leave this task to you. I will not compete with you for this great achievement!"

Sima Ban acted extremely generously.

Yin Damu knew very well what this bastard was thinking.

Wangwu Mountain is part of the Taihang Mountains. The bandit chieftain is no more than ten people. They have gone deep into the mountains. How easy is it to capture them?
Do I have to take the knights to search the mountain?

If Wang Yuan cannot be caught and Guo Ze cannot be found, then they will have to face Sima Zhao's wrath. This guy obviously does not want to do this thankless task. The credit is his, and of course Yin Damu has to take the blame.

Yin Damu did not refuse him and nodded calmly.

"Okay, I'll go after them right away. But Wangwu Mountain is too big, and they're running very fast. Please give me half of your cavalry."

"I've already told you that my army has traveled a long distance and fought in a great war. I was the one who captured the county. How could I have any troops for you?" Sima Ban frowned, but in his heart he felt that this guy was being too arrogant.

"Forget it. This battle is mainly led by the Captain. How about this? I will allocate 500 elite cavalry to follow the Captain in battle."

Yin Damu did not rest any longer and led his army to pursue in the direction of Wangwu Mountain.

"What did you say?!"

"Victory news! General!"

Inside the general's mansion, the scout looked at Sima Zhao in front of him with excitement.

"Left Chief Secretary Zuo led thirty cavalrymen as the vanguard and has already captured Heyin County. They have beheaded over four thousand, captured two thousand, and seized the rebels' flags, musical instruments, swords, crossbows, armor, and shields."

The scout excitedly recounted this great military achievement, completely unaware that Sima Zhao's expression in front of him was becoming increasingly ugly.

"Four thousand beheadings? Two thousand prisoners?"

Sima Zhao was like a volcano about to explode, his voice was trembling, and those close to him could feel the general's uncontrollable anger at the moment.

The scout obviously didn't feel it.

He said proudly, "That's right. Captain Yin is leading the rest of his troops to hunt down Wang Yuan and other rebels. The Left Chief Secretary is also hunting down the surrounding rebels. We will not let a single rebel escape!"

Sima Zhao suddenly laughed, revealing his white teeth.

"Okay, so there is a famous general in our family."

"A few dozen men stormed a county town with tens of thousands of rebels, is that what you mean?"

"Tens of thousands of rebels! If Sima Ban hadn't been here, wouldn't they have chopped off my head?"

"How can I repay Sima Ban's kindness?!"

Sima Zhao asked with a smile.

No matter how stupid the scout was, he could hear the strong sarcasm in Sima Zhao's words.

He was so frightened that his face turned pale. He quickly saluted again and said seriously, "General, that's not the case. It was the Left Chief Clerk who said that."

The scout was so frightened that he was speechless.

Sima Zhao simply gave the order, "Take him away and behead him."

"General!! I risked my life for you! General!! I am a man of merit!!"

The scout shouted, and two soldiers appeared behind him with expressionless faces, grabbed him and dragged him out the door.

"General, spare my life!!!"

The scout's voice grew farther and farther away until a scream and his plea for mercy died away.

The soldier appeared in front of Sima Zhao again, holding his head.

Sima Zhao waved his hand and said unhappily, "Send his head to Sima Ban and claim it was sent by me as a token of my military merit."

"Also, tell him that if he fails to capture Wang Yuan and find Guo Ze, I will give him another military merit."

"only!!!"

Sima Zhao frowned and looked at the documents in front of him. Judging from the memorials submitted in recent days, the thing his brother was worried about had finally happened.

Letters were sent from counties all over the country, saying that the rebels who attacked them had been wiped out.

Sima Zhao knew this very well. There were no rebels there. They were just killing innocent people to gain military merit.

However, there really were rebels in Ping County. This was the Yin of Henan, right under the feet of the emperor. How could there be two rebellions in a row here?
If this situation can happen in Henan, then other places
Sima Zhao couldn't believe it. He began to regret his previous order. He should have listened to Du Yu!
He reluctantly began to reply to the letter in front of him.

At this moment, a distinguished guest appeared in front of him in a hurry.

Sima Zhao hurriedly stood up, not daring to delay.

The person who came was Shangshu Fu Gu.

Fu Gu frowned, looking extremely serious.

"General, something serious has happened."
