"What do you mean?" Gao Junliang looked at the person next to him in astonishment.
The person next to him said to himself, "As long as Chen Qifeng is defeated and the bandits who massacred the village cannot be caught for a long time, Zhao Lin will inevitably make comments about misusing people. Add to that various other things, and there's no doubt that he won't be able to be removed."
Gao Junliang nodded and said, "Master Feng, that's a good idea. But what if it fails and the bandits are caught by Chen Qifeng?"
"Impossible." The person next to him laughed and said, "Those bandits are just rebels in disguise. If Chen Qifeng can't find their tracks, it's fine. But if he chases them, he might not be able to escape. Those rebels aren't the ones Zhao Lin wiped out before. They're real, powerful rebels. And they're in other provinces. Chen Qifeng can't cross provinces to suppress the bandits. By the time the Ministry of War approves it, it will have already passed the half-month deadline."
Gao Junliang was secretly shocked.
Jasa Province.
It is adjacent to Jiujiang Province. Although its terrain is not as mountainous and water-rich as Jiujiang Province, it also has high mountains and steep cliffs.
The rebels that Song Huaian belonged to hid here and became kings of the mountain.
It should not be said that they are hiding, but rather that they are disguised as ordinary people working here.
The leader of this group of rebels was named Ma Ershui. He was a warrior who was proficient in swords, guns, sticks and clubs, and was also a good archer.
He was a famous bandit in his early years, leading a gang of bandits to roam freely, and the local authorities were unable to do anything about it. Now that the world was in turmoil, Ma Ershui took the opportunity to recruit more people to join his gang, and gradually he had more than 20,000 men.
Although there are only more than 20,000 of them, they are all elite soldiers and can fight against Wang Li's Qianlong Army head-on without losing.
Moreover, this group of rebels was not a messy one. They were all integrated by Ma Ershui and seated according to their positions. There were actually dozens of leaders among them.
The key point is that Ma Ershui has also been educated and has some knowledge of military tactics. Although he is powerful, he never makes a big deal about it. As a result, the government has no idea how many people he has under his command, and some even think that he is a bandit from his early years.
At that time, Song Huaian took Li Feng and escaped from Carp Island, and set his sights on Ma Ershui.
After Song Huaian came here, he offered several useful strategies, which earned him the attention of Ma Ershui. He became his aide and was qualified to participate in discussions on important matters.
Song Huaian's face was gloomy and he was cursing loudly.
"You traveled all the way to Mianzhou to massacre a village just to steal a few women and children. What were you thinking?"
"Think carefully with your pig brains. Besides attracting troops to encircle and suppress us, what good is this? Huh? What good is it?"
Listening to Song Huaian's cursing, several rebel leaders didn't take it seriously.
"It's just a massacre of a village, what's the big deal?" said a rebel leader.
Song Huaian said angrily, "That's a village in Jiujiang Province. The current governor of Jiujiang is Zhao Lin, the same Zhao Lin who led the Qingzhou Army and suppressed all rebellions in Jiujiang. You massacred the villages under his jurisdiction, and he will definitely send troops to retaliate. You can only wait for death."
"Haha, Mr. Song, you're joking. A mere child, and you're leaving us to die?"
A rebel leader laughed and said, "Mr. Song may be well-read, but he has little experience. Given our strength, what will happen if the Qingzhou army arrives?"
Song Huaian stared coldly at the rebel leader who was speaking. "Third Master is truly heroic. Back then, Wang Li's Qianlong Army had the advantage of terrain and more men, yet they were easily defeated by Zhao Lin. How can these mere twenty thousand men resist?"
The third in command sneered, "Just use the swords in the hands of the brothers. Zhao Lin won't come, but if he dares to come, let him stay here."
Song Huaian sneered repeatedly.
He was extremely angry.
These people said they were going to do something, but they didn't expect to massacre the entire village.
If he knew, Song Huaian would stop them at all costs.
"Mr. Song, do you really not trust us?" The Third Master was angered by Song Huaian's sneer. "How about Mr. Song, let's practice together and show you how sharp my sword is."
"Isn't my knife sharp?"
Song Huaian was furious. He suddenly pulled out the knife of a nearby leader, jumped out and pointed at the third in command, saying, "Come, let's see if I can chop you to death."
Many gang leaders clamored together.
The Third Master was furious and jumped out, pointing a knife at Song Huaian: "Looking for death! Let me see how a stray dog like you can join us."
Since Song Huaian came here, he gained the trust of the boss Ma Ershui in a short period of time, and gave him advice, which made many bandits jealous.
This time, the third in command will find an excuse to teach Song Huaian a lesson.
Ma Ershui was originally watching the excitement, but when he saw the two men were about to fight, he quickly said, "Stop! We are brothers, why would you use a knife?"
The third in command said, "Brother, I suspect this guy has a questionable background."
Ma Ershui smiled and said, "What's the problem?"
The Third Master said, "Wherever this guy goes to, that family will suffer. I suspect he is a spy for the imperial court."
Ma Ershui looked at Song Huaian: "Really?"
Song Huaian said: "If I were a spy for the imperial court, I would definitely kill the Third Master first. It's useless to harm others and yourself."
"You're looking for death!"
The third in command was furious and raised his knife to chop at Song Huaian.
Song Huaian was not afraid at all, he raised his sword to meet the attack, the two swords collided in the air, making a loud noise and sparks flying.
Everyone could immediately see that the two men were really angry.
Ma Ershui shouted angrily, "Stop it!"
Song Huaian turned a deaf ear, and the third in command also pretended not to hear. The two men raised their swords and fought each other. The sound of clanging was endless, and two black shadows were seen fighting back and forth, and the fight was difficult to separate.
The third in command was born a bandit and only knew a little about swordsmanship, but he was very ruthless and every time he chopped his sword, he aimed at Song Huaian's vital points.
Although Song Huaian used a knife, his body was graceful and his movements were erratic, which showed that he was using the sword technique.
