Suppressing bandits has always been a concern for the imperial court.

Many mountain strongholds would use the terrain to fight against the officers and soldiers sent by the imperial court to suppress bandits.

Now that Songfeng Village had been defended, Shen Yu called Deputy General Fang and formulated a battle plan.

Considering that the bandits in Songfeng Village were familiar with the terrain, Shen Yu did not dare to take it lightly. He selected 500 elite soldiers and led them into the mountains to suppress the bandits.

The last bit of white in the sky completely disappeared, and darkness enveloped the entire sky.

Five hundred elite soldiers were ready to go under the command of Fang Xuren. "Your Highness, we are ready and can set off at any time."

At night, Shen Yu changed his clothes into a dark robe with a layer of armor on the outside.

Being in the wilderness always makes people feel uncomfortable and uneasy. Shen Yu stood beside the carriage. Shen Lingge lifted the curtain, revealing himself and Xu Zhao in the carriage.

"If it's cold, you and Qinghe will stay in the carriage. The remaining elite soldiers will be here to protect you."

"Don't worry, we will protect ourselves. Bandits are brutal, so you have to be careful and protect yourself."

Xu Zhao was somewhat worried. This bandit had been hiding outside Li'an City for many years, and he might have done something extraordinary.

Otherwise, the officers and soldiers in Li'an City would have wiped out this group of bandits long ago. Unless, these bandits colluded with the government, they would have been able to escape death every time they were attacked.

If it is the latter, it would be fine. It means that these bandits are just a group of fools who rely on corrupt officials. If they are beaten, it will naturally be easy.

Hearing Xu Zhao's concern, Shen Yu felt warm in his heart. He was full of motivation at the moment. Not to mention wiping out one stronghold, even seven or eight would be no problem.

"wait me back!"

Shen Yu couldn't help but want to reach out and touch Xu Zhao's head, but unfortunately there were too many people around, and in front of Qinghe, it was not appropriate to do anything inappropriate.

He clenched his fists, jumped on his horse, and shouted loudly: "Let's go!"

These three thousand elite soldiers were originally trained by Shen Yu. Each of them can fight one against three on the battlefield. Now they are more than enough to suppress bandits.

After riding in a carriage during the day and then running into the woods to look for Shen Lingge, Xu Zhao felt very tired. About half an hour after Shen Yu left, he leaned against the edge of the carriage window and took a nap.

When she woke up, everything around her was much quieter. She opened the curtain of the carriage and stuck her head out to look behind it. In that direction was the envoys from Mobei.

The envoys ordered a bonfire to be lit, and the patrolling soldiers were warming themselves around it.

She looked in the direction of Songfenggang that Luo Lei mentioned. The originally dark sky suddenly shot up into the sky with flames, illuminating the sky in that place.

It looks like there will be good news soon.

Shen Yu sent one hundred elite soldiers to guard the two entrances and exits at the back of Songfeng Village, and at the same time eliminated the secret sentries guarding the two gates.

He and Fang Xuren led the remaining 300 elite soldiers to ambush at the main gate of Songfeng Village.

According to Luo Lei, the Mingshao handover meeting in Songfeng Village will be at the end of midnight.

Before the bandits handed over, a small team of soldiers was guarding near each transfer point, waiting for the bandits to finish the handover so that they could kill them with one blow.

As expected, at the end of midnight, five people yawned and walked up to the sentry post of the village. The original five people were all so sleepy that they squinted their eyes. They lined up in a team and returned to the village.

Shen Yu said coldly: "Action!"

Fang Xuren on the side put his fingertips to his mouth and whistled.

The elite soldiers lurking near the pickup point heard the whistle and received the order. They rushed to the pickup point as quickly as possible, covered the bandits' mouths with one hand, and used the other hand to break their necks.

Then they opened the door of the village as quickly as possible.

When Shen Yu and his group saw the door open, he waved his hand and a group of people behind him rushed into the mountain stronghold.

Songfeng Village is located on Songfeng Hill. After entering the village gate, you will first pass through a forest about five meters deep.

The trees in this forest are evergreen all year round, and even in winter, there are green leaves to block the view.

The village gate was built outside the forest in order to use the forest to form a second layer of protection for the village and block the sight of outsiders.

There are thin ropes tied close to the ground in the woods, and it is difficult to find them even in the daytime, let alone at night.

The thin wires are crisscrossed to form ingenious mechanisms. If someone enters and accidentally touches them, these mechanisms will be triggered. At the same time, one end of the thin wire extends to a large bell in the village, and everyone in the village will hear it and enter a state of defense against the enemy.

Coincidentally, the designer of this thin line was Luo Lei, who was captured by them.

Frightened by Xu Zhao's actions, he spilled the beans and revealed all the defenses of Songfeng Village, even the fact that the boss liked to sleep with girls in his arms.

When he arrived in front of the woods, Shen Yu stopped and walked towards the far left side of the woods.

On the left side of the forest, there is a book tree with a red ribbon tied to it. The right side of the tree is full of traps, while the left side is a path for the people in the village to walk on.

At the end of midnight, the lights in the entire village had already been turned off and it was quiet.

Shen Yu waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him rushed into the house in groups of two or three and tied up the sleeping bandits.

With such a loud noise, even the deepest sleepers would surely wake up. They opened their eyes and looked at the large group of people appearing around them. Their eyes widened, and before they could open their mouths to shout, someone stuffed a piece of cloth over their mouths.

With so many people breaking in, it was impossible for there to be no sound at all. Someone who was alert noticed something was wrong and ran directly into the boss's house, "Boss, it's bad! Someone has broken into the village!"

Zhao Biao, the leader of Songfeng Village, was immersed in the gentle embrace of a gentle woman. The noise made by the person who came frightened him so much that he jumped up from the bed.

"Who broke into the village? Was it County Magistrate Gou from Li'an City? Didn't we send this year's tribute over long ago? Why didn't you warn them in advance if you were just pretending to attack the village?"

Because there was a stranger there, the woman on the bed quickly shrank into the quilt, leaving only her head exposed.

Zhao Biao had completely lost interest at this moment. He straightened his open inner clothes, put on his shoes, and put on his coat.

"Let's go and see if it's the County Magistrate Gou."

He had just taken two steps when he was stopped by the person who woke him up. "Boss, I'm afraid those people outside aren't County Magistrate Gou's men. I just came out to relieve myself, and I see they're all wearing military armor. I'm afraid they're the generals here to suppress the bandits!"

"Damn it! County Magistrate Gou is such a piece of shit! He took my favors and then issued an order to suppress the bandits without even notifying me in advance. Next time I see him, I'm going to teach him a lesson!"

"Hurry up and pack up the treasures, call all the brothers, let's escape!" At this time, he did not forget to call the brothers in the village, which showed some loyalty.

The boss was so angry that he opened the wardrobe, took out dozens of silver notes worth one hundred taels, stuffed them into his arms, and prepared to escape from the house with a machete.

Before he could even leave the room, Shen Yu walked in. "County Magistrate Gou, huh? I'm afraid you'll meet in the underworld soon."
