I was engaged in construction in ancient times

Chen Honghai, the prefect of Yuanzhou, was so angry that he threw his cup, "Tell me about you, you are too useless, there are only a thousand people on the opposite side, and you, you command several times as many people, and the opponent wins more with less , and so many people have been arrested, how did you grow up!"

"I let you do such a thing out of my mind!" Most of the soldiers under him were captured alive, so if it spread like this, where would they put Yuanzhou's face.

Hao Xingfan felt that he was really upset. At first he thought he was getting a good job, with his brother-in-law on his head and a group of well-trained soldiers under him. His good brother-in-law has made an untold amount of profit, but now that he has kicked the iron plate, his brother-in-law can only blame him.

The sailors in Yuanzhou were indeed well-trained before, but they won several games in a row. After tasting the windfall, the morale of the troops in the team was slackened, and they all wanted to go astray to make quick money. Who is willing to train hard?

This will bump into the Yangzhou soldiers who have been trained for a long time, and the tiger skin shell they were originally wearing was mercilessly lifted.

Hao Xingfan complained bitterly: "Brother-in-law, those people from Yangzhou are too cunning."

"They have all kinds of nasty plots and tricks emerging in an endless stream."

"The leader, Shan Chen, looks honest, but he's actually full of bad luck."

Chen Honghai rolled up a book and knocked it on Hao Xingfan's head: "Soldiers are not tired of deceit, and you should be a little more cunning. Have you read military books?"

"Brother-in-law, I haven't read military books, but... we are obviously playing the role of water bandits, how can water bandits use studies?"

"The other side is using dirty tricks, they, they always pretend to be ordinary businessmen to slander us."

"There are also some who set traps in the water and on the shore, and catch people with sacks, like robbers—"

Chen Honghai became even angrier when he heard the words: "Then you're plotting against them too! Are you a water bandit or are they a water bandit?"

Hao Xingfan's face became as miserable as a bitter melon, and he said helplessly, "But brother-in-law, we are not real water bandits..."

"Before, they were all good fighters who trained openly and aboveboard. How could they come up with those dirty tricks?"

Chen Honghai lifted it up and down in one breath, and he walked around the room in a blocked way, but he almost fell when he stepped on the shards of the teacup that had just been dropped, "What's all this?"

"Useless things!"

Hao Xingfan listened bitterly to the training, not daring to complain again.

"Brother-in-law, what should we do now? The people under our command can't be detained in Xuanzhou all the time. The family members of the officers and soldiers have already come to ask for someone."

Chen Honghai glared at the brother-in-law who failed to accomplish anything but failed, "What to do, what to do! Sigh... I have to write a book to ask for someone from Xuanyang and the two prefectures."

Chen Honghai called his own documents over, "You, hurry up and write two letters, first of all thank them for their righteous actions to clear up the water bandits in Yuanzhou, but the two don't understand the situation in Yuanzhou, they arrested the wrong person, and mistakenly captured some Yuanzhou The officers and soldiers were caught as water bandits, and it was all a misunderstanding, Hao Xingfan, go and get more than half of the money you got back earlier, and send it along with the letter."

The clerk nodded respectfully to Yun, turned around and went back to grind his ink to write a letter.

Hao Xingfan nodded aggrievedly, he didn't dare to say more, but he complained in his heart: his brother-in-law made the most money, but he was going to waste the money and eliminate the disaster.

Sun Zhixin and Duan Shubaiquan looked at the two letters as a joke, saying that the "water bandits" they caught were actually officers and soldiers from Yuanzhou. These officers and soldiers had heard that there were water bandits in Shisan Waterway, so they ambush them. The water bandits were caught in the Shisan waterway, but they were caught by the sailors of Xuanyang and Zhouzhou as "water bandits". Therefore, the prefect of Yuanzhou wrote a book to ask them to return them, and attached a lot of money.

"General Duan, do you want to return him?" Sun Zhixin knew where Duan Shubai had sent him back.

Duan Shubai tore up the letter with a smile: "Of course not."

It's a joke, everyone has come to him, so there is no reason to go back.

"Not only will I not let them go, but I will also send people to Yuanzhou with drums and gongs, and tell them that the water bandits in the Thirteenth Waterway were repulsed by our Xuanyang and Yangzhou coalition forces. We eliminated harm for the people and won many businessmen Sincere thanks from the caravan."

"This group of water bandits who have committed many crimes must pay for their sins through labor. This general will not be able to release them until their crimes are paid off."

Sun Zhixin poured himself a cup of hot tea, "General Duan, do you really want to go to Yuanzhou to talk about these things?"

"Of course." Duan Shubai smiled brightly, without blushing or panting, and said, "The story of the allied forces fighting the water bandits bravely, I have had someone write a book and rehearse the play, and the people of Yuanzhou can read it in the storyteller's mouth and on the stage. Appreciate the bravery and prowess of our army."

"This general is generous. He will hire a storyteller and theater troupe for them for free."

Thinking of that scene, Sun Zhixin mourned in silence for Chen Bawang of Yuanzhou. He had offended Duan Bawang, who was even more difficult to offend and was quite shameless, "General Duan, what you have done is adding fuel to the flames, and everyone has written a letter of appeal. "

Duan Shubai set the torn letter in two on the fire, "Speaking of which, does the prefect Chen look down on me, a mud-legged general? The gold and silver he sent here is not even half of what you, Brother Sun, have."

General Duan said that he is small-minded and he will hold grudges.

"I have asked someone to return the things he sent over. The old man sits in the bustling Xuanzhou, so how could he value such a small favor."

"Hey—Brother Sun, don't return it. We take things as they are, but people just don't return them. The money is a gift from the prefect of Yuanzhou to thank us for eliminating harm for the people. It is used as military expenses to encourage brave fighters in the war against bandits. "

The envoy from Yuanzhou waited for a long time, and tried to explain: "You have misunderstood, those are not bandits, but officers and soldiers from our Yuanzhou, and their families are still waiting for them to go back in Yuanzhou."

Shan Chen: "We have no misunderstanding, no misunderstanding. After our interrogation, they are all water bandits in Yuanzhou, who have done a lot of evil. Our general said that we must not treat this kind of bandit lightly."

The two sides wrangled with each other for a long time, but there was still no result.

Chen Honghai, the prefect of Yuanzhou, was so angry that his mouth was full of embarrassment. Duan Shubai and Sun Zhixin were two bastards. A bastard.

"Master Chen, it's not good. In the past few days, people have been talking about books and singing operas in teahouses along the coast..."

"Isn't it just a few people who come here to eat, what's wrong?"

"My lord, their storytelling and singing jokes are about the wise battle between sailors from two prefectures in Xuanyang and water bandits..."

"What did you say?" The top of Chen Honghai's head turned black in bursts. It's fine if he doesn't let him go, but he will "turn black and white" under his rule.

"Our people all say that the water bandits are eliminated well, and General Duan's soldiers are invincible."

Chen Honghai yelled: "These two are shameless."

The person who captured him dared to brag about his achievements under his rule. Duan Shubai, Duan Shubai, is really a reckless general who doesn't know how to be a man. .

He really wants to tear himself apart?

Chen Honghai has been an official for so many years, and he has never seen an official who would make such a big deal happen. Officials protect each other. Some things need to be known in private. What happened to him secretly seeking some personal gain?Duan Shubai has already taken advantage of it, and now he still has to be reasonable.

"Okay! Don't their caravans want to come to Yuanzhou to do business? I told him to have a dream, and passed on my password. Under the rule of Yuanzhou, merchant ships from Xuanyang and Xuanyang are not allowed to dock along the coast."

"But Mr. Chen, the people of Yuanzhou also want to do business."

"Tell Duan Shubai that if his people want to do business honestly, it's okay, but we must return our people!"

"Tomorrow, you will ask people to lead soldiers to guard the coastal cities, and I will drive them all away by force. If they are unkind to me first, don't blame me for being unrighteous to him."

The next day, the soldiers of Yuanzhou strictly guarded the large and small docks along the coast, and never allowed merchant ships from Xuanyang and Xuanyang to dock.

Those who were not blasted out were captured privately by officers and soldiers, saying that they were robbers disguised as businessmen, and sent the stolen goods to Yuanzhou for trading.

"Recently, a group of robbers came out disguised as Yangzhou businessmen to do business here. They are extremely vicious and murderous without blinking an eye. They have already destroyed several shops in Anhua. The prefect Chen ordered us to strictly guard the main roads along the coast and resolutely prevent the robbers from coming ashore. .”

"Once any sneaky behavior is discovered, they will be arrested and brought to justice."

After a day or two, Yuanzhou arrested hundreds of "sneaky" businessmen from Xuanyang and Yangzhou.

The matter was reported to Duan Shubai and Sun Zhixin.

"General, they captured hundreds of innocent people from us and asked us to exchange them with water bandits."

"The people in the city are very anxious."

Sun Zhixin sent someone to ask him, "General Duan, what should we do next?"

Duan Shubai sneered three times.

"This is their first move, so don't blame General Ben for being rude."

"Assemble the army ship and prepare the horses. Tomorrow, this general will personally go and get the man back."

Duan Shubai himself led 500 elite soldiers from Yangzhou, plus [-] Xuanzhou soldiers supported by Sun Taishou. The two armies were unified under Duan Shubai's deployment. , The captive soldiers sent all [-] people back to Yangzhou. Yangnan, Anhua, Anyi and other towns were all guarded by the Yangzhou coalition forces.

Duan Shubai's reason for sending troops was to protect the interests of the people of Yangzhou. "The prefect of Yuanzhou randomly arrested innocent people in Xuanyang and Xuanyang, causing panic among the people. In order to rescue the innocent people who were imprisoned, this general had no choice but to send troops."

Although what he said was high-sounding, his soldiers had indeed occupied the coastal border of Yuanzhou.

As soon as this happened, there was an uproar from all sides.

The imperial court is still on the top of the head, these three prefectures actually started to use force in private, it is really audacious, especially that Duan Shubai, who was sent to Yangzhou by the Holy One last year, who would have expected that he would be out of his mind this year Shui, you actually did such a ridiculous thing, yes, you are good at fighting, but no matter how good you are, can you beat the imperial power?

A hundred-footed worm is dead but not stiff.

The most incomprehensible thing is that Sun Taishou, who has always played tricks, also followed him to do such stupid things.

The surrounding Yunzhou, Dingzhou, and Jianzhou watched the show across the bank, waiting for the two dead people to be mobilized and attacked. No matter how the imperial power declines, once the order is issued, these two disobedient fleas can be taken down.

As a result, the news came from the court a few days later that Jin, Xu, and Qing prefectures gathered 20 troops in the north, and then led a hundred thousand Wangxia soldiers to the south.The rebellion in the north has been going on for a long time, the government is incompetent, and the eunuchs are domineering, the people's grievances have been accumulated for a long time, and the people in the north have no desire to resist. When the news of the military emergency comes back, the coalition forces are about to enter the capital. Under the circumstances, the little emperor Qi Huabin abandoned the capital and fled all the way to Rongzhou with the court officials. The wealthy families in the capital had already fled to the south with their families.

Boyang Hou's family followed the fugitives to the south.
