Mr. Yangui

Chapter 168 Chapter [-]
It's dawn, the Zhuangzhu's mansion.

Li Wuchang and all his subordinates had rested for the night. Except for a few brothers who took turns guarding the bandits, they were all full of energy. After breakfast, they were ready to go.

Fat Bear and Cao Hao have already counted Zhuang Min's situation.

There were as many as 24 places where the fire broke out last night. Fortunately, the farmers were prepared and ran away, looking for a place to hide, and escaped their lives. Everyone, because the rest of the places are all thatched houses, the fire is huge. For safety reasons, we did not continue to put out the fire.

Fat Xiong and Cao Hao told them that they can borrow from other farmers' homes for these days, and that the loss will be made up later. The owner will build a new house for them and try his best to appease the emotions of the farmers.

For the farmers, the loss was indeed heavy, but fortunately there were no casualties.

Zhao Xun looked at the energetic veterans, and said: "Everyone has such courage, the owner must be very pleased. We achieved a great result last night, and the Fire Wolf Gang will definitely not be convinced. We must preemptively prevent the Fire Wolf Gang from joining other forces. Unknown forces are fighting against our Zhuangzi together."

After a pause, he continued: "Desheng is still the same. He brought some people to guard the bandits. Fat Xiong, Haozi and Hu Benlu stayed behind. He reminded the farmers to pay attention to safety measures. The farm work can be put aside temporarily and the good hands are organized. Just in case, in just a few days, we will give everyone an explanation, as for the others, follow us into the dense forest, the same sentence, obey orders, don't force yourself, and pay attention to your own life."

Hu Benlu raised his hand and said, "Yesterday, I told the people on Zhuangzi, and asked everyone to tell each other that everyone should pay attention to safety these days, so I asked Brother Xiong and Haozi to stay in Zhuangzi with more than [-] old fellows. Just check it out."

Then he pointed to the two bandits who were escorted out to lead the way, and continued: "I'll follow. I'm a little familiar with the area of ​​Nanshan, so I can prevent these two dogs from making a fool of themselves."

Li Wuchang nodded, waved his hand, and signaled to go on the road. He was still dressed in black, and the black ash on his face was repainted this morning.

Zhai Changping and Hu Benlu escorted the two bandits leading the way and motioned for them to show the way.

How did the bandits come here last night? They just went back the same way.

These two bandits must have been in the Fire Wolf Gang for some time, they know a lot, and they are quite chicken thieves, but they are afraid of being beaten, and they dare not play any tricks and guide the way with their hearts.

There are about seventy people in this group.

Li Wuchang, Zhao Xun, Jiang Minglun, and Zhai Changping are the most powerful. Most of the others have been on the battlefield and killed decisively. However, their martial arts are not very high, and most of them are third or fourth rank. It is hard to say when they encounter a large number of bandits in the jungle. .

In other words, if you have the strength of the fifth rank, you will not be sent to the elderly.

In addition, there are two young lads with good martial arts and a fifth-rank elementary level. They are the children of these veterans who died on the battlefield.

One is Nie Quan and the other is Xie Changhao. They are both talented. They have practiced martial arts since they were young, and they have many veterans who give them advice.

They originally wanted to go to the Martial Arts Conference, but the veterans refused to let them go, saying that they were afraid of being sent to Jizhou by the imperial court. They were helpless and had no background. If they died, how could they be worthy of their dead old friends.

There are many children like this in Zhuangzi, and most of them practice martial arts, but only Nie Quan and Xie Changhao have higher martial arts, they have entered the fifth rank, and they are considered celebrities in Zhuangzi.

Under the leadership of the two bandits, and then carefully analyzed through Huben Road, after a long time, everyone finally entered the depths of the dense forest in Nanshan, where the light dimmed and the interior became much cooler.

After entering the dense forest, everyone became extra cautious.

Jiang Minglun was in front, followed closely by Zhai Changping, Hu Benlu and the two bandits who guided the way. Zhao Xun led Nie Quan and Xie Changhao in the middle, and Li Wuchang was at the back. before moving on.

After passing through the dense forest on both sides, they finally came to the periphery of the Fire Wolf Gang.

"A little further past is our stockade." One of the bandits said.

Jiang Minglun nodded, sent out two palms to knock the two bandits unconscious, then raised his right hand to signal the team to stop.

Zhao Xun took a look around, came to Li Wuchang's place, and said: "The trees here are clustered and the thatch is flourishing. I suggest that everyone find a place to hide and eat some dry food and water. Let's go in and investigate first, and then make plans." .”

Li Wuchang nodded.

Of course, we have to investigate, and think of a dirty trick or something, so we can't go in directly. Although nearly 200 members of the Fire Wolf Gang were beheaded, there are still more than 100 of them in their village, and there are many masters. Rushing in rashly will only cause heavy damage.

Everyone found a secluded place to rest temporarily.

After a little discussion, it was decided that Jiang Minglun would lead Zhai Changping to guard the team, while Li Wuchang and Zhao Xun, who were more flexible, sneaked in to check the situation and see if they could do something.

The village of the Fire Wolf Gang is relatively large, very rough, without fences, there are occasional gangs patrolling around, and there are one or two gangs standing guard everywhere.

"You can't see anything like this, you have to touch it to find out." Zhao Xun said.

Both of them jumped onto a big tree and secretly watched the village of the Fire Wolf Gang, but unfortunately they couldn't see what was going on inside.

There are many wooden houses. Since the terrain here is quite flat, the whole village looks quite good from a distance. The buildings are well arranged and surrounded by shrubs and thatch, which are easy to hide.

The two found a blind spot, got in, and looked around with their agile movements and sharp eyes. The two dared not separate, advancing and retreating together.

There was a lot of people in the village, not loud laughter, and there was no sign of panic at all.

The two sneaked behind a group of bandits carrying things, trying to see what was going on.

It turned out that the group had entered the kitchen.

The sound of burning fire, the sound of boiling water, and the sound of cutting vegetables and meat are intertwined.

Li Wuchang was rather surprised that the Fire Wolf Gang suffered such a serious setback last night, and they are still in the mood to have lunch here?
Why does it look like you are going to have a big meal!

Zhao Xun said in a low voice: "Could it be that they want to invite those unscrupulous forces to deal with our Zhuangzi together?"

Li Wuchang raised his eyebrows, feeling that the possibility was very high, then nodded to Zhao Xun, and motioned to go to the roof to the side of the large open-air field to see what was going on.

Zhao Xun understood, used his body skills, followed Li Wuchang to jump up a house, and then, like Li Wuchang, lay down and crawled forward, his movements were very light, if there were no super masters, the two of them would never have been exposed.

After a while, the two sighed slightly, looked at the people in the venue, pricked up their ears, and listened carefully.

Good guy, a bunch of people are drinking.

"That's the way it is. Someone from Tang invited you here today because he wants you to get a share of the pie." A middle-aged man in his 40s laughed.

"Boss Tang, do you think that Dingmaozhuang really has a lot of food?" someone asked.

"Who am I, Tang Bao? How could I cheat you guys?"

"Hmph, Boss Tang, your Fire Wolf Gang has always been the most domineering in this area. Most of the benefits are monopolized. You will be so kind to share our pie? There is no conspiracy, right?"

"Brother Chen was joking. We are all members of the same cause, fighting against the government together. The advantage of my Fire Wolf Gang was that I got more money, but my Fire Wolf Gang has a large population, so naturally the cost is higher, but it is different now. , that Dingmaozhuang has a new owner, and before anyone arrives, he bought a large amount of grain, I can tell you that it is a large amount of grain, so I, Tang Bao, came here to inform you guys."

"Boss Tang, why do you only have so few people today? I think there are only more than 100 people. What about the others?"

"Mr. Tang pursues stability, so first send some people down to investigate the news and find a suitable attack route."

"Okay, let's trust Boss Tang for now. Tell me what you see and how we should cooperate. Let's say yes first, we won't be the vanguard."

"How can I embarrass you? What should I do specifically? Let's eat and chat later, and Tang will definitely satisfy everyone."

……

Li Wuchang and Zhao Xun listened to everyone's chat, and roughly understood what was going on.

It turned out that the Fire Wolf Gang really wanted to unite with some miscellaneous forces to give Ding Maozhuang a ruthless blow.

It seems that this time is the right time, we must not let this gang of bandits take the lead, otherwise they will fall into a situation of siege and be exhausted.

Li Wuchang nodded to Zhao Xun, indicating that he could leave, and he would think of a way after reuniting with Jiang Minglun.

On the way back, Li Wuchang said with emotion: "Are there really so many bandits in Yongzhou? There are only a dozen military villages in our area. I heard from the bandit yesterday that besides the [-] of the Fire Wolf Gang, there are more than [-] others." There are hundreds of people in each faction, adding up to several thousand, Nanshan is so big, who knows how many bandits there are in other places."

Zhao Xun said with a smile: "Nanshan is so big, there are bandits everywhere. The location of this place is rather strange. To the north is Beidi County, and to the south is Jingzhao County. It is convenient to inquire about information here. The Fire Wolf Gang They are active in the three counties of Feng Yi in the north of Jingzhao, and Feng Yi is the link, so it is reasonable to send some people to station here."

Li Wuchang thought about it, and said: "That's not a lot. Nanshan plus the bandits in other places, it is said that Niu Maoshan was several thousand a while ago. If you calculate it casually, the bandits are at least tens of thousands. Maybe One hundred thousand people might even be able to compete with the Jizhou battlefield, does Dayan have so many people, and there are only so many bandits?"

Zhao Xun explained: "Dayan has been established for more than two hundred years. Except for the serious wars in the first ten years and the last 20 years, most of the rest of the time is recuperating. The population has increased rapidly, resulting in a very large base, so..."

Li Wuchang nodded silently, thinking in his heart that if the imperial court had enough food and grass, maybe millions of troops could be recruited casually, or even more.

After the two returned to the main force, they explained the situation to everyone.

After the veterans heard this, their expressions changed at the same time.

Jiang Minglun said: "We must not let them join forces to play our Zhuangzi's idea, we must give them a hand first, and disrupt their rhythm."

Li Wuchang had experienced the big scene in Niu Maoshan some time ago, so he didn't feel nervous about the small scene at the moment, and said with a smile: "Everyone, relax a little bit, we take the initiative, and in the dark, just shady them casually, They got it."

After a pause, he continued: "Well, they will have lunch in a while, Minglun Changping, you take out all the guys, Brother Xun and I will make trouble, and then light them a few more fires, you guys Hidden in the periphery to harvest."

Li Wuchang thought of a lot of tricks last night, and even thought about prescribing drugs.

I originally wanted to use Qi-dispersing pills, but the amount was too small, so I gave up, and the other poisons were afraid of being discovered, so I got a few large bags of laxatives, packed them into several copies, and asked Jiang Minglun, Zhai Changping, and Zhao Xun to take them. It has made hundreds of people feel weak.

Zhai Changping and Jiang Minglun both took out a large paper bag from their respective skirts and handed it to Li Wuchang.

The general plan is that Li Wuchang and Zhao Xun go in to make trouble, and Jiang Minglun and Zhai Changping lead a group of people to find the small group to start.

Then it's time to discuss the details.

It's still the same, you must be careful, don't push yourself, try to be as wretched as possible, and you can be as wretched as you can. In this case, it's not worth fighting a gang of bandits.
