Song Dynasty Cannon Fodder Counterattack Record

Chapter 125 Volunteering
It is very embarrassing to get the report that Yangzhai County has been captured by the strongman.He expressed the hope that the Zhenwu Army would rush back to Yangzhai County immediately to pursue the strongman, but Li Buqi said that the Zhenwu Army had run hundreds of miles in the past few days and could no longer run.Even if you can run, you still have to prepare rations.You don't even have military rations, how can you let the soldiers run away hungry?
Tong Juan was born as a Jinshi, and had no knowledge of military affairs. It is true that the Zhenwu Army has run two to three hundred miles in two days, and his legs are cramp.And Li Buqi is right, the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers.

He Dujian's soldiers were even more needless to count on.According to the rules of the army of the Song Dynasty, there must be rewards before the battle, and rewards on the New Year's Day. Even if they start, they must be paid first. If you don't have money, those gangsters will not care about you.All the troops of the Song Dynasty were virtuous.It is true that the usual salary arrears are too serious, and the soldiers can only see the opportunity to make a fortune.

But the thief just patronized the treasury, even if the thief didn't take away a penny, he still has to count it, right?Now Tongju really doesn't dare to give money to these Qiu Bas casually.But if he doesn't move, who knows what will be written in the performance appraisal in the future?Would anyone accuse him of being indifferent to seeing his colleagues in distress?
"What can we do?" Tong Juan asked the people in the hall helplessly.But all the officials look at me and I look at you, but they are helpless.

At this time, Li Buqi said: "I think it is time to consider recruiting security? Although I am most opposed to recruiting security, only recruiting security is the best way to ensure the safety of the government. Otherwise, they will go to Henan Prefecture or even other roads. Once they run away, it will be very difficult to catch them across the border and bring them back to the prefect of Jin."

Having said that, everyone turned to Tong San, and Tong San could only thank Li Buqi for giving him a step forward at this time.Li Buqi is right, recruiting these thieves is undoubtedly the best way to ensure the safety of Jin Zhifu.But the judge still hesitated: "But the prefect of Jin has just rejected the request of the thieves to recruit them. Will it make people feel that the court is weak and deceitful, or backtracking?"

While talking, someone suddenly reported that the bodies of Hao Dachong, the leader of Zhuantianzhai, and Jiang Ying, the second leader, were identified from the corpses of more than a dozen people killed in Wang Yasi Zhuangzi, Yangzhai County.The county magistrate interrogated the farmer and learned that Wang Yasi had colluded with Zhuan Tianzhai, so Hao Dachong had been hiding in Wang Yasi's village since he escaped.

This time things are a bit out of date.

Maybe it wasn't chaotic enough, but someone suddenly reported that the government's order had arrived.Everyone hurried out to receive the decree. It turned out that Zhao Zhen made a decree after reading the document requesting security sent by Song Yuanji. The court should accept it.

It is good to take the upper-level route, no wonder Song Jiang in "Water Margin" must go to Tokyo to meet Zhao Ji through Li Shishi in order to ask for security.

But when I asked the eunuch delivering the decree, when the decree was issued, the news that Jin Zhifu had been taken away had not yet reached Tokyo, and the emperor did not know the latest news about Yingchang Mansion.

Tong San hesitated again: "It would have been nice if this decree had arrived two days earlier. Why did so many troubles happen? But what should we do now?"

Li Buqi immediately said: "This is also easy to handle. Those strongmen broke through Fucheng and Yangzhai County without causing too many murders, and the treasury money was not touched, so it can be seen that they are still counting on Zhao'an. Presumably they will not be too embarrassing for the prefect of Jin. Now it is better to send someone to communicate with the strongman, allow them to recruit, and stabilize them first, while waiting for the new order from the court. I wonder what the general judge thinks?"

Now that no one has come up with a better way, the judge can only nod his head: "That's the only way. It's just who to send to communicate with the culprits?"

This time there was another difficulty, and the judge said that he would send someone casually. Li Buqi immediately objected: "I just refused them to recruit security, and after they captured Fucheng and Yangzhai County, I immediately allowed them to recruit security. No matter how you look at it, it seems like a tactic to slow down the army. So. It must be someone who can count on what he says, at least someone whose reputation can be guaranteed, so that the strongman can trust him."

Let the officials of the government go to negotiate with the thieves?Whoever the judge saw turned pale with fright.

Although Li Buqi judged that the thief wanted to be recruited, but there are accidents in everything, right?Moreover, the thieves could break Fucheng and Yangzhai County if they didn't agree with each other, and even killed a prison officer. Who knows if he can come back alive after going there.So these people are all in one mind - don't take risks with such unreasonable things, safety first, no matter how great the credit is, you have to live to enjoy it.

Tong San's face turned dark, and he called them one by one and asked who could go, but each of them said they were not feeling well, or they said that they were clumsy and afraid of ruining Tong San's plan. In short, no one was willing to negotiate with the thieves.

Seeing that the heat was about the same, Li Buqi stood up again and said, "Since everyone is not suitable, if it doesn't work, I'll go. Although my words don't work, but thanks to some people who think highly of me, they blow me up to be omnipotent." , can be regarded as having some reputation. Maybe the strongman can show me some face because I am not an unknown person, so stop treating Jin Zhifu harshly."

It's good that someone is willing to stand up, and now the officials who had shrunk their necks like quails who were startled by thunder just now suddenly retaliated, and frantically swiped a bunch of flattery. It's like turning into a hero who saves the world.

Li Buqi took the opportunity to laugh at himself: "Last time I lied to a strongman in order to escape, but this time in order to save the prefect, it seems that I have to repeat the old trick."

Unwilling to listen to unhealthy flattery, after returning to camp, Li Buqi took his horse and several guards and rushed to the mountain village in Yangzhai County overnight. He left the horse in the village, and only took Tao Lin into the mountain in the morning.

Sure enough, there were scouts sent by the Rebel Army in the mountain, and soon after they entered the mountain, they heard someone shouting: "Who is this person here?"

Li Buqi hid behind a tree and reported his name, and soon came down from the mountain. Three men armed with simple knives and spears looked at Li Buqi curiously: "Last time I let you run away, I thought you had three heads and six arms. .What are you doing here? Do you want to spy on us?"

Li Buqi said with a smile: "I met Luo Tong and Luo Xiucai once, and I have to ask him to discuss something important."

So a man ran back to report the letter, and it took a long time before he ran back and said, "You wait here, the scholar will come in a while." After speaking, he gestured to the mountain to signal the archer to put down his bow and arrow.

This time not only the scholar came, but also several people who looked like leaders, the most eye-catching one was a petite woman with two knives on her back.She was fifteen or sixteen years old, and although her skin was darker, her pretty face had healthy red cheeks, like a ripe big apple, and the white ribbon tied around her head further set off the beauty of her face.

Beauty!Li Buqi couldn't help but look twice more, but the woman noticed and gave him a glare, so he had no choice but to move his eyes away.

Luo Xiucai pretended to ask, "Last time I tricked you and ran away. I didn't expect you to dare to come into the mountain."

Li Buqi said: "Brother Luo is wrong. What I told you last time was true, and there was no intention of deceit. It's just that I don't like alliances under the city, and even if I want to come to the court, I will not recognize this kind of alliance under the city." .So I left to fulfill my promise."

Luo Xiucai's face turned into a bun again, and he quickly skipped this section: "You are talking about Zhao'an. But the court has already rejected it, what else do you have to say?"

"You are wrong. It is the prefect of Jin who refused to recruit, but the prefect of Jin is not the imperial court. The official has already issued a decree to agree to recruit you because I have reported your affairs. It's just that you took down Yingchang mansion and Yangzhai county. Killing the officials and kidnapping the court officials, the crime is a little deeper, but this matter is not easy to handle."

These words caused several rebel leaders to look at each other in blank dismay, or Luo Xiucai and Li Buqi had gotten along better, and immediately asked: "Isn't it because that dog official Jin Liren wants to kill us! Yangdi County Wang Yasi oppressed the people of Yangzhai County for many years, even if the officials sent by the court did not listen to him, they would be framed by him. We killed him to punish corrupt officials."

"Oh. I knew there was a reason for the incident, so you can still discuss the matter of recruiting. By the way, you didn't embarrass the prefect of Jin, did you? If you killed him, it would be troublesome."

A leader with a longbow on his back smiled and said, "We didn't kill him, but he was about to die of fright."

Li Buqi said: "As long as the prefect of Jin is fine, the matter of recruitment will be easier. Now I want to see the prefect of Jin with my own eyes, and then talk about other matters."

Luo Xiucai asked Li Buqi and Tao Lin to hand over their sabers, and then led them around a mountain to a forest glade.Here Li Buqi saw Prefect Jin who was slumped in the grass like a puddle of mud.In just a few days, this once suave magistrate has completely changed his appearance. His loose hair is covered with grass sticks and leaves, and his long beard, which was once neatly combed, is in a mess. What's more, his eyes are dull. Li Buqi was worried that something was wrong with him being frightened.

Fortunately, when the prefect of Jin recognized Li Buqi, he was able to shout: "Li Tiju, save me!"
