Five-six hundred horse thieves gathered in the ravine, conserving strength and store up energy. Most of the horse thieves sat on the ground and rested casually, while the high-ranking horse thieves sat around to eat and drink. When they set off, they brought good wine and good meat, and now they have a meal first.

The chief of the horse thief tears off a large piece of mutton with his mouth and chews up. The same is true of the other few chieftains. They are used to eating thieves and drinking, so the eating phase is always so ugly, like starving to death same.

“Brothers, eat more, and eat enough to work.”

The horse thief said rudely while eating lamb.

“Big brother, this time it’s a good breath, it’s really a pleasure, I will kill them in a while and keep it.”

“It’s natural, you can’t leave a live mouth, right, you can’t leave a corpse, let Imperial Court feel that these officers and men are buried by the yellow sand, not annihilated by us.”

“Yes! As long as we can wipe out all the officers and soldiers, we can completely stop the leak of information, and our plan will be successful.”

“Imperial Court has paid such a big price, not only failed to destroy us, but also suffered heavy losses. Old Emperor will certainly feel that this is God’s will, and it will be possible to ignore it here in the future.”

“Big brother, if old Emperor doesn’t care about here in the future, then we will be called Emperor here in Xiazhou. In the future, big brother will be Emperor, and we will all be Great Generals. How refreshing.”

“Yes, this is not the territory of the Central Plains. Our ancestors of the Huns lived here a long time ago, and it is not impossible to build a country!

“Yes, yes, our big brother can do Emperor, we are all Great General.”

Several little bosses said excitedly.

The leader of the horse thief said with a smile: “Brothers lifted up, what a shit Emperor, how tired it should be! I heard that Emperor Laoer has to review every day’s setbacks, where there is no food for the natural disasters, and where there is the disaster, all must be managed It ’s really annoying. I still want to be the leader of Sutan. I just need to go directly to the merchant and get everything. Everyday can drink with my brethren, how comfortable! “

“Big brother is saying yeah! What kind of shit Emperor, still staying at ease in the mountains.”

“Our brother can have whatever we want, and Emperor is not as comfortable as we are. We will clean up this group of officers and soldiers this time and blame Old Thief Heaven. In the future, it will still be our world.”

“During this time, the brethren have had a hard time, and when the Imperial Court officers and men leave here, we must grab a few big ones and have a good time.”

The little bosses said.

The leader of the horse thief took a sip of wine and said, “Brothers, listen to me, this is always blocking the road and robbing. It is really tiring, and it is easy to incur the encirclement and suppression of the Imperial Court. Now, our brother’s reputation has already been established. Is it possible to consider charging tolls to merchants, as long as the merchants are willing to pay 1% of the profits as tolls, we will not rob them, so would n’t everyone be happy. “

Obviously, after so many years of enjoyment, the leader of the horse thief has become somewhat hedonistic, lacking a ferocious enterprising spirit. In his opinion, if he can obtain wealth comfortably, he does not have to use a knife and a gun to snatch So that you can have a more stable life.

Direct snatching and collecting tolls are two completely different behaviors. Snatching will inevitably cause casualties, which will have a greater impact on the prestige of the Imperial Court, while charging tolls will generally not cause casualties. The majestic blows are small, and it is not easy to cause the Imperial Court to encircle them, so that they can spend a small life comfortably.

After all, whether it is willing or not, but the merchant has paid the toll, so what else can Imperial Court say? Do businessmen report to Imperial Court with a cheeky face and tell the Imperial Court officer that the horse thieves in Xiazhou are too excessive and always charge tolls. We do n’t want to pay the tolls. Imperial Court quickly dispatched troops to clean up these horse thieves! This face is too big!

Although some people collect tolls within their own jurisdiction, this is also under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Court, but these small things are generally managed by the county government, and the county government is too weak to simply cure the horse thief, so, Generally this kind of thing would not be questioned by the official uniform. This kind of thing was too frequent in ancient dynasties. It is almost a frequent occurrence. There is not a lot of scoundrels in any village. Such things as protection fees are commonplace. The attitude of Imperial Court is that soft persimmons can be managed, but things that can’t be managed, then they can only be left to their own hands.

The reason why in ancient times, these things could not be dealt with, the biggest source is because of the cost problem. In the ancient society where the economy and technology were not well developed, the Imperial Court had only so many funds and personnel to solve this problem. That problem It can’t be solved. If the treasury and the military disaster are encountered, the treasury may not be able to withstand it, let alone solve some difficult trivial matters for ordinary old people.

For the simplest example, within a feudal dynasty, there may be 10000 large and small bandits and bandits. The large forces can reach more than 1000, and the smaller ones may be only a dozen people. Not counting the scoundrels in the counties and villages, it is difficult for the Imperial Court to eradicate so many bandits.

If Imperial Court really intends to destroy these thieves, it is necessary to deploy a large number of soldiers and horses, based on the thieves ’familiarity with the terrain. If Imperial Court wants to destroy these thieves, it must have at least 5 to 1 times the strength. Otherwise, simply would not have any effect, and as a result, even if all the soldiers and horses of the entire empire were transferred to fight the bandits, and in all feudal dynasties, they were threatened by foreign enemies around them, Especially the strong enemy in the north has always been the nightmare of the Central Plains dynasty.

In this case, the Imperial Court cannot naturally focus its energies on the less harmful thieves. The main energy will be on the development of the economy and the defense of foreign enemies. As for the gangsters who harm the party, they will have a choice. If you want to exterminate, the serious outcrop must be exterminated. The thieves who are less harmful and more difficult to exterminate can’t take care of so much.

For example, the Great Tang horse thief in Xiazhou did not attract the attention of the Imperial Court at the beginning. It was only that the frequency of looting in the later period was increasing, which seriously harmed the normal economic development of Xiazhou. This led the Imperial Court to pay attention to it. And sent a large number of soldiers and horses to encircle and suppress, if the horse thief can converge a little, and the robbery frequency is lower, it may be able to successfully avoid the impact of the Imperial Court.

The reason why Shuibo Liangshan was encircled and suppressed by the Imperial Court of the Song Dynasty was because the development in the later period was too fast, which attracted the attention of the Imperial Court. If the encirclement is not carried out at 10000, it will develop into an empire, and it will be in trouble. .

The ordinary bandit bandits, as well as horse thieves and Jiangyang thieves, are all small forces. They do not pose a great threat to the Imperial Court. Occasionally robbing merchants does not seem to be much harmful. In the case of the difficulty of annihilation Naturally, Imperial Court does not have to be willing to spend huge Great Accomplishment originally to manage.

“Big brother, is it a profit of only 30%? Isn’t it too little? At least it should be 1% of the profit.”

“Have a half in meeting, half in any way!”

“Half is not enough, 70%. We have to charge at least 70%. Let these profiteers earn less and eat enough.”

Several small bosses are very greedy and feel that they should collect more money so that they can live a better and more moist life. If they receive too little at a time, they are naturally very dissatisfied.

The boss of the horse thief quickly waved his hand and said, “Brothers, do n’t be too greedy. It does n’t look like a lot, but the business people do n’t feel so distressed. They would be more willing to obey us. When the time comes, all the businessmen passing from Xiazhou are Send 1% of profits, brothers think about this income is not low! This is lying down to collect money! “

“Haha! Big brother has also learned the profiteer set. Isn’t this just small profits but quick sales.”

“It’s a good idea to have small profits but quick turnover! If every businessman passing by is willing to pay, it is indeed quite a lot, just listen to the big brother, what the big brother said, and we will do it in the future.”

“These profiteers are all people who understand that they will not be robbed if they make a profit on their own initiative. They will want to understand and they will be willing.”

“Big brother, it will be a good day to wait for us in the future!”

The little bosses are very optimistic, like a will all follow the development they expected.

The leader of the horse thief said with a smile: “Brothers, the future will be better, but now that this battle must be fought, you must not leave a living mouth, if you escape one or two, leaking the news, the consequences Unbearable! In this way, what is waiting for us is not a good day, but the disaster of extinction. “

Obviously, if this is done by a horse thief, the Imperial Court will definitely not give up, but if they encounter a sandstorm and are buried by the yellow sand, then they will have nothing to do with them. At most, when they first started, they went to the field first. Avoid the limelight and wait until calm and tranquil, they will come back again.

“Big brother, do n’t worry, we have so many people, and we have people on every road outside. Even if these officers and soldiers have wings, they will escape, and they will be wiped out by us tonight. One will not be left. Down. “

“Big brother, you can rest assured that our brother will take care of it! There will be no accidents.”

“Big brother, we will leave a dozen brothers in each city gate when we are going to rush to kill. It is enough to block these officers and men, don’t even want to run away.”

The small leaders answered confidently.

The leader of the horse thief said with relief: “I have so many good brothers to help me, what regrets in life? In the future, if there is wealth, our brother must be blessed and enjoy it. I will not treat any brother.”

This is very touching, but there is a famous saying that brother is used for betrayal. In a crisis, whether brother’s feelings can stand the test, this is a big question mark.

There are too many such things in history, not all promises to brother can be fulfilled, and things that harm brother are even more common.

For example, the Emperor, the founding country of the Ming Dynasty, after ascending to the throne of Emperor, in order to allow his children and grandchildren to become Emperor safely, actually burned all the gang of brothers who followed him to death. It is really cruel and ruthless. Outrageous.

Emperor, the founding father of the Han Dynasty, did the same. He also wiped out the brother who was born and died. Han Xin Peng Yue and a large group of people were killed by him. The former brother became a stumbling block and was not put to death. What to do.

The Song dynasty was pretty good. Song Taizu did n’t want to kill a large group of brothers who followed him, but he took the brothers ’military power and let the brothers go home to be happy. .

Great Tang is much better. As long as you do n’t make mistakes, all the hero brothers remain, and most of them are in high positions, and even have military power in their hands. It is a more enlightened dynasty.

At this time, the leader of the horse thief should say the truth, because he is just a horse thief, not at all dominating the world’s ambitions, and not having the ambition to govern the country. His favorite thing to do is to be with a group of brothers. Eating and drinking merrily together, everyone is happy together, there is no reason to kill brother.

Encouraged by the leader for a while, the horse thief bosses became more excited. They all fought and prepared for the raid of the ancient Baicheng site in the middle of the night.

The horse thieves are preparing for the battle, and the officers and soldiers are not idle. At a mountain at 3 10 li northeast of Xiazhou City, Lao Guo finally merged with the three soldiers and horses under his command. And the deployment, after a simple 3 3 sentences, the team entered a state of rapid march, they have to arrive near the site of Gubaicheng before midnight, and they are more confident of destroying the horse thief.

Because the road is really far away, and it is at night when the light is not good, the pressure on the march is still great. The soldiers are not deliberately riding slower, but once they exceed the safe speed, it is easy to appear Dangerous situation.

During the rapid march, many soldiers had fallen off the horse’s back. It didn’t matter if they were slightly injured. It was enough to continue on the horse, and the more seriously injured soldiers had to stay.

This is left behind, but Lao Guo brought 800 soldiers and horses, a small part of the left behind is irrelevant, as long as the main force can reach the battlefield, in order to reach the destination in time, these left behind soldiers will not be anyone Taking care of them, they can only take care of themselves. If they are taken away by wolves, it means they are out of luck.

Of course, as long as the soldiers are not particularly injured, they will not be killed by wolves. After all, the soldiers have heavy armor, swords and arrows in their hands, and there is no problem in protecting themselves.
