Chapter 45 Conquer Weihuzhai
Behind the third hurdle of Weihuzhai is where the cottage of Weihuzhai is. The great master Fan Chong fled directly to the cottage. He immediately summoned dozens of remaining bandits, and then Fan Chong led these bandits from the cottage. In his warehouse, he took all the gold and a part of the silver, and then fled from the back mountain secret road in a panic.
While escaping, a bandit leader asked Fan Chong: “The master, now Weihu Village has fallen into the hands of this official army, what shall we do next?”
Fan Chong gritted his teeth and said: “Kill my brother! Take my cottage! This matter is definitely not over. I, Fan Chong, will not avenge this revenge! Let’s go to Yan Wangling and ask the people of Yan Wangling to send troops!”
After Liu Ji brought people to the third level of Weihu Village, he found that there was no one on the stone wall of the third level. The wooden door of the stone wall was closed tightly. At this time, Gong Du said to Liu Ji: “Master, Weihu Village. Didn’t the bandits escape from Houshan?”
Le Yi nodded and said: “It is very possible. After all, the bandits in Weihu Village are nothing but a mob. It is not easy to resist us for so long. At this time, it is also said to have escaped.”
Huaxiong said: “Lord, you will know if the bandits have escaped after a single attack with soldiers!”
Liu Ji nodded and said, “Hua Xiong, Le Yi, and Gong all obeyed the order and took 4 soldiers to win the battle. You have to be careful. What are the tricks of guarding against the bandits in Weihuzhai!”
“Yes, lord!”
Immediately, Huaxiong and Gong Du took 40 soldiers, carrying several wooden ladders and rushed to the last checkpoint of Weihu Village.
Soon Huaxiong and others erected a wooden ladder under the stone wall of the last level of Weihuzhai. Huaxiong, Le Yi and Gong all took the lead to board the stone wall. At this time, Huaxiong and others affirmed that Weihu The bandits in the village really escaped.
After Hua Xiong opened the door to the last checkpoint of Weihu Village, Liu Ji took Chen Hao and the rest of the soldiers into Weihu Village with a smile on his face. The next step was the harvest time, although the bandits escaped. At that time, some property must be taken away, but Weihu Village has been entrenched here for many years. With the remaining bandits in a hurry, it is impossible to take away all the property and materials. Now the remaining things in Weihu Village will belong to Liu Ji. Loot.
Liu Ji waved his hand and shouted: “Search me, don’t let go of every corner. The gold, silver and materials of this Weihuzhai belong to us!”
Le Yi suggested at this time: “Lord, the subordinates first return to the second level of Weihuzhai, interrogate the bandits we captured, and see if there are any secret passages or secret rooms in Weihuzhai, so as to prevent the bandits from attacking us. .”
Liu Ji said with a smile: “Le Yi is still thoughtful, everyone should be careful when searching for cottages, and don’t let the bandits take advantage of the loopholes.”
When Liu Ji led the people in the Weihu Village, Le Yi returned to the cottage from the second checkpoint of the Weihu Village, and when he saw Liu Ji immediately reported: “My lord, I have learned from the captive bandit leader. At the back of Weihu Village, there is a hidden path leading to the outside of the mountain. The remaining bandits should have escaped from this hidden path. In addition, I got a message from the bandit leader, the former leader of Weihu Village, Fan. Chong and Wenda, the second master, sent two confidants to Yanwangling, ready to pay a lot of money to ask people from Yanwangling to send troops to rescue Weihuzhai.”
“Yan Wangling? Is it also a bandit den?”
“According to the bandit leader, Yanwangling is the largest bandit cottage in this mountainous area at the junction of Yongzhou and Qianzhou. There are 10 village owners, known as the Ten Temples of Yama, and all of them have extraordinary martial arts. The entire Yanwangling has at least more than 5,000 soldiers. Ma, now Fan Chong, the leader of Weihu Village, has escaped, and his subordinates are worried that he will go directly to Yanwangling to move rescue troops and counterattack Weihu Village.”
Liu Ji frowned when he heard that, “I was going to stay in Weihu Village for a few days. I would select from the bandit captives some people who have not done much evil and include them in our team, but now there are With the threat of Yan Wangling, Le Yi, what do you think we should do next?”
Le Yi said in a deep voice: “The subordinates agree with the lord’s idea. We do need the number of strong soldiers, but just in case, the subordinates recommend that everyone in the camp outside the first checkpoint of Weihuzhai be withdrawn to the first. In the first checkpoint, we will concentrate our forces on the first checkpoint. Even if Yan Wangling really sends troops to Weihuzhai, we rely on the first checkpoint to have the power to fight.”
“Okay! Just follow what you said Le Yi, and immediately order Cheng Yi and Han Tao to lead the soldiers and auxiliary soldiers in the camp outside the first checkpoint to **** the bandit captives and various materials into the first checkpoint of Weihuzhai. Within this, the team of soldiers led by Cheng Yi and Han Tao stayed in the first checkpoint, while Liu Pi and the other soldiers stayed in the first checkpoint. There were 3 of them, plus 60 men. Zhanbing, I believe that even if Yan Wangling dispatches troops, he won’t even want to capture the first hurdle of Weihuzhai for a while.”
After a pause, Liu Ji continued: “By the way, Le Yi, I will dedicate some manpower to the prisoners in Weihuzhai. We must screen out and deal with some of the bandits who have done a lot of evil deeds. , And then incorporate the remaining bandits into combat soldiers and auxiliary soldiers.”
Le Yi nodded and said, “Yes, Lord! In addition, we have to send some people to guard the secret road in the back mountain of Weihu Village to prevent the enemy from entering from here.”
“Then let Gong Du lead a warrior to temporarily guard the secret road of Houshan!”
has been busy until it gets dark, and only after the seizures in Weihu Village did statistics come up with a rough estimate. Liu Ji looked at the string of numbers, and the corners of his mouth almost reached the root of his ears.
Including the battle before the attack on Weihu Village Liu Ji and others captured a total of 684 bandits, including Zhang Xiong, the third master of Weihu Village, and Li Qing, the fourth master.
Obtained 33 war horses, of which 17 were seized in the previous wars, and 16 war horses were found in the stables in the Weihuzhai cottage, including the mounts of the master Fan Chong and the second master Wenda, and 14 remaining The mount of the famous Weihuzhai Iron Horse.
In the stable of Weihu Village, 43 horses, 6 oxen and 7 mules were also seized.
also seized 24 intact iron armors, 30 damaged iron armors, 56 intact leather armors, and 67 damaged leather armors. Some of the intact iron armors and leather armors were found in the warehouse of Weihuzhai.

more than 2,000 weapons were seized, including a batch of brand-new steel knives and spears found in the warehouse of Weihuzhai.
What made Liu Ji even more excited was that he found about 70,000 taels of silver in the warehouse of Weihuzhai, but no gold was found. The gold in Weihuzhai should have been taken away by the remaining bandits. This made Liu Ji a little bit. Some regrets.
In addition, hundreds of thousands of copper coins were also seized, but a tael of silver in the Great Jin Dynasty can be exchanged for 200 copper coins, so hundreds of thousands of copper coins are only a few thousand taels of silver.
At the same time, there is not much food found in Weihu Village, only about 80,000 catties. In addition, nearly 10,000 catties of meat and more than 20,000 catties of green vegetables were found. The green vegetables are mainly Chinese cabbage and a small amount of wild vegetables. The meat is basically bacon.
With these seizures from Weihuzhai, Liu Ji no longer has to worry about food and money in a short time.
