The most arrogant in history

Mrs. Liu Ruxue, who was standing at the side, suddenly burst into laughter:

"Master Ye, Yuejuan, this is not the first time you have met, so there is no need for so much formality. Sit down, have a drink, and chat."

Ye Kun nodded, raised his hand and said, "Ms. Yuejuan, please take a seat."

Miss Yuejuan took a sip of wine, bowed, and then sat down.

This is what a lady from a wealthy family should be like.

How could she be like Zhou Tielan?

Magistrate Liu was happy, and so was Magistrate Wang. They drank a few more glasses and chatted.

Ye Kun looked at the clepsydra time, stood up and said goodbye:

"Master Liu, Master Wang, and Madam and Miss Yuejuan, I have something to do and need to return to the military camp to make arrangements. I will take my leave now. Although the wine is good, I dare not drink too much and delay Master Liu's important work!"

County Magistrate Liu clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Lord Ye, I am very grateful for sharing my worries."

Ye Kun bowed again and said goodbye.

Mrs. Liu and Miss Yuejuan returned the gift together.

After going out, Ye Kun jumped on his horse and went straight to the military camp. He immediately called a meeting with Wang Bao, Zhu Dachun, Tan Bamao, Qin Erwu and others.

"From now on, the military camp is under martial law, and no one is allowed to enter or leave without permission!"

Ye Kun had a murderous look on his face:

"Tell the kitchen to prepare meals for two hundred people and a day's worth of dry food immediately. Zhu Dachun, Yan Liuhai, select two hundred elite soldiers, each with bows and crossbows, and assemble at the parade ground. Qin Erwu, Wang Bao, prepare all the carriages and war horses, and be on standby at the parade ground!"

Wang Bao was surprised and asked, "Master Ye, is there any action?"

"This county lieutenant has decided to wipe out the bandits in Shuangya Mountain!"

"Ah, to suppress bandits?"

Everyone was overjoyed.

I have been waiting for this day for a long time.

"Keep it secret for now. Tell the soldiers that it's a training exercise."

Ye Kun waved his hand: "You guys go do it separately, have a good meal, and leave immediately!"

Qin Erwu and others perked up and immediately prepared their troops.

Soon, all the troops gathered and the parade ground was brightly lit.

The kitchen also prepared midnight snacks.

Everyone ate their meals and waited where they were.

Ye Kun left behind a few personal soldiers and ordered:

"At dawn, you must take the carriage and pick up County Magistrate Wang and head to Shuangya Mountain. There must be no mistake!"

Then, Ye Kun whispered instructions to Qin Erwu, Yan Liuhai, Wang Bao, Zhu Dachun and others.

At midnight, Ye Kun gave an order and more than twenty carriages set off for Shuangya Mountain.

There were four people sitting in each carriage, and four more running behind.

In addition, there were more than a dozen fully armed cavalrymen following Ye Kun on horseback.

The army marched out of the city in the middle of the night, with the sound of chariots and horses rumbling, and everyone with bows and arrows at their waists.

The small county town was filled with panic.

After leaving the county town, Ye Kun shouted:

"Brothers on the carriages, change carriages every three miles, get off and run. Brothers who were originally running, get on the carriages and rest!"

This time we are suppressing bandits and also training troops.

Ye Kun didn't want the soldiers to be too comfortable, so he let them run and practice.

The county seat is seventy miles away from Shuangya Mountain.

Everyone can take turns to rest on the carriages, and travel light. We only need to run 35 miles, so it shouldn't be too tiring.

There are still more than three hours before dawn. Ye Kun feels that he can reach Shuangya Mountain before dawn.

As for the bandits' lair in Shuangya Mountain, Ye Kun also figured it out and had a simple map.

But Ye Kun overestimated the physical fitness of these soldiers.

An hour later, less than 20 miles out of the city, more than a dozen soldiers could no longer run and were gasping for breath with their mouths open.

Ye Kun was annoyed, jumped off his horse and shouted:

"The cavalry, dismount and run forward. These dozen cowards who can't run, all mount your horses! No one is allowed to fall behind today. Even if you have to crawl, crawl to your destination. Even if you die, carry them to your destination!"

The most important things in war are morale and discipline.

Once someone falls behind, more people will follow suit and slack off.

The cavalrymen dismounted, cursing, and the cowards took their places.

Ye Kun held the sword and ran forward.

After running ten miles in one breath, Ye Kun was sweating profusely.

The soldiers admired Ye Kun even more and shouted, "Master Ye, you should get on the horse. You are the commander-in-chief and you can't be too tired!"

Ye Kun then got on his horse and continued to lead the team forward.

On the way, Ye Kun sent two fast horses to Cao Miao Village and Guanjia Village to notify the tiger-hunting teams of the two villages to come to Shuangya Mountain for support.

Fighting the war doesn’t depend on the Tiger Hunting Team, but Ye Kun has other plans.

After walking more than fifty miles, it was almost dawn.

It is still fifteen miles away from Shuangya Mountain.

Fortunately, no one fell behind and everyone persevered.

"Repair on the spot!"

Ye Kun shouted: "Wang Bao, you take those who can't run anymore, let them rest here, and then come slowly. Everyone else, get on the carriage, go full speed ahead, and head straight for Shuangya Mountain!"

The soldier finally reacted and asked, "Master Ye, this is not a training exercise, is it a bandit suppression exercise?"

Ye Kun drew his sword: "Yes, this is a life-and-death fight. Anyone who dares to slack off will be punished by military law!"

After a brief repair, Ye Kun led a dozen cavalrymen and eighty soldiers, driving the carriage and advancing at full speed.

Fifteen miles away, we arrived in the blink of an eye.

But neither carriages nor war horses could go up the mountain.

Ye Kun left the carriage and ten soldiers as guards, and the others each held a bow and crossbow, spread out and approached the bandits' lair.

It's just dawn.

Halfway up the mountain, the bandit sentry spotted the officers and soldiers, and immediately stood up, waved his flag, and shouted, "Oh no! Ye Kun is here..."

Ever since the bandit suppression in Xiping Mountain, Ye Kun's name has become well-known to other bandits.

When they saw the officers and soldiers, they knew they were Ye Kun’s men!

collapse!

Qin Erwu fired his crossbow and hit the sentry with two arrows, killing him instantly.

Ye Kun drew his sword and shouted: "Surround the two wings, charge the center!"

Qin Erwu, Yan Liuhai, Wang Dakui and others each led their teams to take action.

Tan Bamao and Zhu Dachun also led a small team each and followed Ye Kun to attack from the front.

There were originally more than a hundred bandits in Shuangya Mountain, which was considered a formidable force.

The last time the bandit gang was dispersed by the imperial army, the bandit leader Shen Dalang dispersed his subordinates and fled everywhere. Now he has gathered his old subordinates again, but there are only fifty or sixty of them.

They didn't expect that Ye Kun would come so quickly!

It was just dawn, and most of the robbers were probably still asleep.

When they heard that Ye Kun was coming, the bandits had no time to put on their weapons and rushed out in short-sleeved shirts and shorts, carrying swords, guns, bows and arrows.

Whoosh whoosh!

On Ye Kun's side, arrows flew everywhere and killed more than a dozen bandits on the spot.

The other bandits were all terrified and retreated to the top of the hill, each shouting, "Hold on and don't go out, don't fight!"

Ye Kun chuckled and ordered his men to advance slowly and surround the bandits' lair.

This is too easy, it's almost a one-way massacre, not a war.

Ye Kun's soldiers were all around the hilltop.

The bows and crossbows have been set up, and we will kill anyone we see.

Qin Erwu shouted, "Brother Dalang, why don't you just charge forward? There are only a few bandits, we can defeat them in one fight!"

"No hurry, let's wait for the Tiger Hunting Team and Lord Wang."

Ye Kun was confident and asked everyone to stay where they were and take a rest.

An hour later, Wang Bao arrived with a hundred stragglers.

Then, the tiger-hunting teams from Caomiao Village and Guanjia Village, each with a dozen people, arrived, all carrying bows and arrows.

County Magistrate Wang also arrived in a carriage and complained as soon as he saw them:

"Master Ye, I got up in the middle of the night. The 70-mile journey has shaken my old bones to pieces..."

"Thank you for your hard work, Lord Wang. I am waiting for you to take charge so that I can launch a general attack!"

Ye Kun laughed loudly and drew his sword: "Beat the drums, charge, and capture the bandit leader Shen Dalang alive!"
