"The villagers in Saga Township, do you know that your servant is from the official army?"

"I know that my servant also took the 'Toushun example' printed by the imperial court, but the villagers have been with Cai for a long time and do not take this example seriously. Not only did they tie the servants up, they also reported to other Cai thieves and guided the Cai thieves to brutally kill them." Wang Pei became more and more angry as he spoke.

Gao Yue said: "Before the war, the Holy Lord emphasized many times that he should not kill the Cai people at any time, and love them as innocent people. Therefore, this kind of surrender is achieved. If the villagers in Saga Township even refuse it, then we will have no way to go."

So Gao Yue immediately came out of the prime minister's verdict: "Wang Pei, you will lead fifty cavalry to surround all the fields in Xiping Saga Township. As for the villagers, they have been in harmony with Cai Kou for a long time, but they do not want to surrender, but instead kill my scouts, and there is also a need to execute them all."

In the bright morning, the village was still full of silence, with only the lanterns inside, and I was a little restless. When I went to the stables at the village entrance, I looked again and again: the long house inside was piled with all kinds of goods, including tea skewers, cloth, clothes, armor and soldiers. Like many other villages in Caizhou, their hometowns were closely related to the Caizhou native military group: Shanpan and the thieves were robbed in Deng Xiangru, Eyue Qihuang or Chen Xu, and Shoulu. Sometimes the regular troops in Caizhou went to fight to plunder and blackmail. The property they obtained was sold for Shen Guangcai's townships, and everyone's interests were all shared, so many villages became the outposts of the Huaixi Army.

Previously, Saga Township led Cai soldiers to kill two teenage servants. This is why the villagers believed that these two were here to explore the situation on all sides, scouts, and spies, so they quickly told Cai soldiers in nearby forts.

Then the situation: the servant was tied up with his backhand and was stepped on the ground, and Cai Bing raised his stones, his head was smashed to pieces, and then his body was dragged by several mules and threw it on the road.

Saga Township received twenty pieces of cloth, which was about thirty cents of reward for this.

When Yancheng fell, the village chief was quite scared, so he summoned the male soldiers from all villages to discuss whether to abandon the fields and run to Fangcheng Mountain? But most of the male soldiers were indifferent: The scout was killed by Cai Bing, what does it have to do with us? Besides, the official army and Cai Bing have been fighting for so many years, and you finished your performance after singing and I came on stage, and no one held us accountable.

As a result, Saga Township became confused and continued to calm down without any concerns.

But this time, Gao Yue ordered Wang Pei: Cai people, Cai Bing, Cai bandits, and Cai Kou are often one and two sides, so the solution is not as good as Shenzhou and Guangzhou. Since they owe blood debts to the imperial government army, we have to let them pay for it.

"Bang", the lantern held by the inside suddenly fell to the ground. The firelight reflected the various wealth in the long house. It shook quickly and then sank into the darkness again. The inside leader himself was so shocked that he took two steps back and almost collapsed.

He clearly heard the magnificent sound of horse hooves and neighing on the roads outside the countryside, and it was getting closer and closer and faster!

The inner leader got up, hurriedly pushed open the door, and then headed straight to the ridge of the fields.

It was the middle of winter. There were a few clear stars on the dark sky. The undulating hills, which suddenly lit up and down like ink lines, and then several cavalry figures stood in the front of the inner-length.

Looking down from the eyes of the Zhongwu cavalry, the fields, houses, earthen cages, silkworm sheds, stables, and woodlands of Saga Township are covered with spots of snow, which is obvious under the starlight.

Wang Pei raised his arm, drew his sword and unsheathed it, "Encircle it, kill it!"

Then dozens of Zhongwu cavalry scattered, holding torches and various weapons, and the horse's hooves raised smoke on the fields after the wheat harvest, like blades, slashing the entire village's territory.

The torch was thrown out, jumping and rolling on the walls and thatch of the house...

The villager who had just taken the door screamed and was stabbed by a horse fork and a long spear...

Those who were trying to run into the mountains were not far away and were shot in the back by fierce arrows, fell to death by the gully canal, or under the hoof of a rolling and trampling...

In the morning, the entire Saga Township was destroyed. Under the firelight, the houses where the villagers lived for generations were burned into ruins and rubble. The fields and roads were filled with the bodies of the killed villagers. Whether old or young, Wang Pei's cavalry swirled in groups of three or three, holding sharp and narrow horse lances to hunt for survivors.

A total of 97 households and 531 people were surrounded by iron-blooded, ruthless and efficient cavalrymen, and there were not even ten people running out.

Soon, when the sky above Saga Township was filled with dark crows, a team of officers and soldiers came from the direction of Yancheng, erected a wooden note on the village road, and asked the people of Xiping County, all townships and villages to come out of their own village chiefs to lead the summit and the Chake Book in the city. This was the last opportunity to become a civil servant of the imperial court. Otherwise, they would be treated as Cai Kou.

As a result, dozens of townships around Yancheng were all scared. The village chief brought the entire village's Dingkou document book and lined up in the yamen of the official army camp and knelt down, just saying that.

Gao Yue not only asked them to pay for food, but each household sent a gang of officials to dredge the river and transport grain, but also asked them to:

“Since then, Shen Guangcai and the people of the surrounding states were not allowed to enter the mountains to form sheds, nor could they enter the water to become robbers;

Each township implements a baojia system, with one person communicating with Cai Kou, and the whole village is in charge of the whole village, and no one person informs Cai Kou's movements, and the whole village is in charge of the whole village;

The government troops now occupy Yancheng, Xiping, Xincai and other counties, as well as the two prefectures of Shenguang, to destroy all the forts set up by the Huaining Army. Among them, Shenzhou and Anzhou were presided over by Yan Zhen, the governor of Wuchang Army, while Gao Yue of Guangzhou sent the governor Yang Yuanqing to work;

Since then, Shen Guangcai, all families are not allowed to hide their soldiers' sticks. Those who dare to hide their soldiers' sticks will be killed without mercy. All soldiers' sticks will be ordered to be sent to Yancheng within 20 days by the village chief, and then shipped to Shouchun City for the furnace and smelting, which will be used as the official army's soldiers' sticks and fire weapons."

One month later, Gao Yue and Du Huangshang's official troops advanced and moved to Huiqu, and Fan Xi's troops also came to meet.

Yu Di had already stationed troops in Wufang;

Yan Zhen and other troops on the southern front arrived at Zhenyang. Among them, Xu Si, Su Pu and Li Jue's troops captured Wengangzha south of Runan and completely cut off the Rushui River.

The encirclement net further contracted, and now Wu Shaocheng's only place in the lonely city of Runan is really left.

Previously, Wu Shaocheng and Li Yuanping, who had escaped, had just arrived at Xingqiaozha and really encountered Fan Xichao's vanguard cavalry. Fortunately, Wu was still calm and ordered the Xingqiaozha's general Qi Shiliang to repel Fan Xichao's cavalry, and then hurriedly fled into Runan City.

By the goose duck pond in the north of the city, Wu Shaoyang, who was back to Runan one step earlier, led 500 cavalry to welcome him.

Wu Shaocheng and Wu Shaoyang got off the horse, hugged their heads and cried bitterly, "My brothers will hardly meet."

"After returning to the city, Shaoyang was worried about Brother Ah all the time. Now Brother Ah has returned safely, Shaoyang is finally relieved!"

Wu Shaocheng didn't notice Wu Shaoyang's strange eyes staring at him when he said this, but just choked and asked: How many soldiers and horses are there in the city?

Wu Shaoyang replied that there are still tens of thousands of people, and the city is strong and tall, which is enough for Brother A to last for a long time.
