It is said that since the outbreak of the locust plague in May, Changguang County has been a scene of thousands of miles of red land and sparsely populated. However, at this time, in a deep house compound on the outskirts of Changguang County, there were crowds of people with knives and guns. I saw a group of five big and three thick men either with open chests, or naked, or with white scarves wrapped in their heads, each armed with knives, guns and sticks, surrounded a well-dressed man, woman, old and weak in the center. And among the well-dressed captives were young men. But how could these people all be injured, and in the end, they could only frown coldly at the group of fierce uninvited guests in front of them.

And just as the saber rattling was being tense, a young man with a dark face walked out of this group of fierce and vicious men. I saw that after he looked around at the captives with a big grin, he grinned and showed his fist to the tiger teeth, everyone, I will only take food here today and not die. If you know each other, you can quickly pay the food, and I will wait for the brothers to finish their work and leave. ”

Seeing that this young man seemed to be the leader, a white-haired old man among the captives hurriedly appeared and begged him for mercy, and the king spared his life! Xiaozhuang was suddenly plagued by flying locusts, where will there be surplus food. If the kings don't dislike it, please smile if there is a jade on the old man's side. ”

As soon as the old man's words fell, a man with eyes as big as a cow jumped out and snatched the jade pendant in his hand, and then came to the black-faced young man and shouted, "Big brother, don't rub your tongue with this old man." Niu Er had already inquired about it, and there were at least a thousand stones of grain in this Qijiazhuang. ”

After that, the man who called himself Niu Er turned around and beckoned to a man behind him, "Little Liu." Tell Brother Sù where is the grain of this Qijiazhuang hidden. ”

"In the cellar in the backyard. That day, I saw with my own eyes that the old man of the Qi family led someone to carry a load of wheat to the backyard. The man named Xiaoliu pointed to the old man's nose and complained.

When the old man saw that the old man was exposed, he immediately stomped his feet angrily and said, "Okay, you cheap slave!" Dare to collude with pirates to plot the master's rations! You...... You wait! You're not going to end well! ”

It turned out that the group of fierce bandits in front of him was the group of pirates mentioned in the letter of request for help from Changguang County. Due to the relative large number of pirates and the fact that there are ships to deal with them. Therefore, let alone sending troops to fight for thieves, on the contrary, the Yamen of Changguang County was afraid that the pirates would attack the city, and the city gate was closed every day, and the county sent troops to reinforce it. And this group of pirates saw that they didn't even dare to do anything with the government, so they naturally became even more emboldened and captured several manors outside Changguang City one after another.

No, after the lewd man named Xiaoliu was drunk by the old man, he was so frightened that he hid back. But then he remembered that now he was no longer the original Qi family slave Xiaoliu, but the pirate Xiaoliu who was ravaging the township. What's more, there are "people" armed with knives and guns all around. So, Xiao Liu became a fox and a tiger, "I won't end well." Hmph, I think you don't want to live! ”

As he spoke, Xiao Liu picked up a long stick in his hand and was about to smash it at the old man's head. But he didn't want to, so he raised his hand, but the stick didn't move as if it had taken root. Xiao Liu looked back in confusion, but saw the young pirate leader holding the end of the long stick and said with an expressionless face Lao Tzu just said. Today only take food and do not kill! ”

was warned by the leader like this, Xiao Liu was naturally frightened, hurriedly threw away the long stick in his hand, and did not dare to make another mistake. And the leader of the pirates took a step forward and hugged his fist towards the frightened old man, and the old man was offended. ”

After that, the leader of the pirates didn't explain more, and directly asked Niu Er to rush to the backyard with a bunch of minions to dig up grain. Because of the ghost of Xiaoliu to guide the way, after a while, a load of yellow, orange and orange wheat was carried to the yard. Seeing that the grain in the Zhuangzi was served by robbers in a pot, the old man of the Qi family was dizzy on the spot. And the children and grandchildren of the Qi family also sobbed in despair. It is important to know that food is a precious treasure at this time. It is no wonder that the old man of the Qi family petitioned to sacrifice the jade pendant and was unwilling to hand over the rations that were related to his life.

However, the Qi family certainly shouted for the food to be robbed. But the young man, who was the leader of the pirates, was no better than the Qi family at the moment. I saw him glance at the wheat in front of him, and turned around and shouted at Niu Er, Niu Er! That's all there is to it? Where the fuck did you get a thousand stones! ”

"Less is less. Why don't I ask them again? Xu Shiqi's family has more than one grain cellar. Niu Er shuddered for a moment. In fact, the so-called Qianshi grain was also bragged by Niu Er listening to Xiaoliu over there. At that time, I just thought that the Qi family was a wealthy family in Changguang County, and it was not surprising that there were thousands of stones of grain. So he informed his eldest brother of the news. It's just that it seems that the year of Qijiazhuang is not very good.

The leader of the pirates listened to Niu Er's explanation and knew that he must not have come here to investigate in person. However, even if the food in front of him was far from the original goal, the pirate leader still waved his hand decisively and ordered! Look no further. Thirty percent of the grain was left for the Qi family. The rest were loaded onto ships and transported back to the stockade. ”

But just when the leader of the pirates was about to stop there, he saw a small minions stumbling outside the door to report to the eldest brother, and the younger ones saw a caravan transporting grain on the official road rushing to the county seat. ”

As soon as Niu Er heard that a caravan was passing by, his eyes lit up and he slapped his thigh and said, Ah, this is a deal sent to the door. Big brother, let's go and rob him of a vote! ”

But the leader of the pirates touched his chin full of stubble, and muttered to himself, "Where did the caravan come from at this time?" ”

"Xu, which master who wants money and doesn't want to die, seeing Changguang suffering from the disaster, transporting grain and reselling it." Niu Er urged disappreciably, "What are you afraid of, big brother." Even the Changguang County Decree has to close the city gate when he sees us, can't we deal with a group of outsiders? ”

The leader of the pirates was also a little moved by Niu Er's words. After all, although the pirates have looted a lot of Zhuangzi in the past few days, most of them are as scarce as the Qijiazhuang in front of them. And in order to steal and have a way, most of the pirates will leave a part of the rations for the bitter master. But if you can hijack a caravan, it will be a different matter. Thinking of this, the leading young man immediately made a decision and said okay! Niu Er, you stay to ship grain. I'll take a team of men and horses to rob the road. ”

"Okay. Big brother rest assured, this will be handed over to Niu Er. Niu Er patted his chest and promised, but the corners of his eyes were already inadvertently glancing at the white and tender little body of the Qi family.

The young pirate leader didn't know what Niu Er was doing at the moment. He just wanted to get back to the village as soon as possible. Therefore, he just nodded at Niu Er, and set off with a ticket of people with the little minions who reported the news.

It is said that when the pirates arrived at the official road, the caravan had long since disappeared. But when the pirate leader saw the deep wheel marks left on the official road, his originally tense face immediately had a smile of excitement. But I saw the pirate leader raise his horsewhip and yell at the minions behind him! Grain and grass are ahead! him! ”

"Whew! Oh! him! ”

With the order of the pirate leader, the pirates followed the wheel mark and caught up with the caravan in front of them in a short time. And the pair of caravans obviously did not expect to encounter blatant robbers on the official road. Frightened, they left their heavy grain trucks and fled in all directions. Seeing this, the pirates, of course, didn't say a word, and the killing generals went up to grab money and food. They didn't notice that their every move was watched by another ticket on the mountainside not far away.

"I'm still hooked." Cai Ji, who was standing on top of the high post with his back hand, looked at the horse thief below and unconsciously showed a fox-like smile. It turned out that after Cai Ji received the letter asking for help, he and Tai Shici led a cavalry of 500 people to Changguang County day and night. However, after arriving at his destination, Cai Ji did not immediately set out to exterminate the pirates. Rather, the soldiers were divided into two ways. One route was commanded by Cai Ji himself and Tai Shici, who used the caravan as bait to lure the main force of pirates deep into the interior to exterminate them. On the other hand, Li Da accompanied the Changguang garrison to clear the ships left by the pirates to carry grain and grass in the inland river. Speaking of which, this is the first time Cai Ji has made a battle plan with his own hands. Seeing the prey fall into the dug trap step by step, Cai Ji was somewhat excited at this moment.

Tai Shici on the side saw Cai Ji's excited appearance with a flushed face, and knew that she was immersed in the excitement of the success of the first tactic. Although everyone is human, Tai Shici still reminded Cai Ji in a timely manner, Xiaofujun, it is time to send troops. ”

"Yes." Cai Ji was reminded by Tai Shi Ci and quickly came back to his senses, turned around and ordered Wen Rui and Tang Ying, who were already ready to go, "Gushan, Shanwei, the rest will be handed over to you." Remember, the man in the lead left me alive. ”

"Whoa!" Wen Rui and Tang Ying both hugged their fists and led away.

Tai Shi Ci saw that Cai Ji had specially instructed the leading pirates to keep their mouths alive, and couldn't help asking, Xiao Fujun seems to care about this group of pirates? ”

Cai Ji watched Wen Rui and Tang Ying lead a group of cavalry tigers down the mountain, and on the other hand, she expressed her thoughts to Tai Shici, "Don't hide it from your brother, Ji wants to build a navy in Donglai." ”

"Navy?" Tai Shi Ci looked back at Cai Ji in amazement, "Xiao Fujun wants to set up a water army?" Donglai does have a port and a dockyard, but because the successive Taishou did not pay attention to sea affairs, they have fallen into disrepair. As for the warships, they have long since decayed. If Xiaofujun wants to reorganize the Donglai Naval Army, he needs to spend a lot of money and food. ”

"Money can be found. What Ji lacked now was sailors, sailors who drove warships. It would be better if there were ready-made ships. Cai Ji waved his hand. In fact, as early as when he took over Donglai Taishou, Cai Ji had already considered forming a fleet. However, due to her unstable foothold at that time, and as Tai Shici said, it would cost a lot of money to build a naval army. So this thing has always been just an idea in Cai Ji's mind. It wasn't until he got the news that the pirates were invading Changguang that Cai Ji officially planned to put the plan in his mind into action.

"So Xiaofujun wants to recruit this group of pirates to rebuild the Donglai Naval Army? It's a shortcut indeed. Tai Shi Ci nodded in agreement, and then asked, "But why did Xiao Fujun suddenly want to build a water army?" ”

"For food, for Donglai." Cai Ji stared at the two teams of people who were fighting below, and replied calmly.

"Grain? Donglai? Tai Shi Ci didn't expect Cai Ji to answer like this. I don't understand that the two will have anything to do with the water army. So he had to smile bitterly and said that Xiao Fujun's idea was really ingenious. ”

Cai Ji didn't expect Tai Shi Ci to understand all at once, so she just raised her head and said with a smile The specific strategy is still here. The first step now is to win this battle and subdue these pirates. ”

Although Tai Shici couldn't figure out what Cai Ji wanted to do, recruiting thieves was a way to expand the army in this era. Therefore, he didn't ask much, but just confidently said that Xiaofujun was relieved. It is more than enough to deal with this point of the thief Gushan and Shanwei. ”

"That's why Brother Ziyi didn't go out in person?" Cai Ji turned around and asked.

"Young people have to be given the opportunity to make meritorious contributions." Tai Shi Ci said and turned his gaze to the battlefield below. In fact, he also hoped that this skirmish would test the abilities of Wen Rui and Tang Ying.

It's just that the speaker has no intention and the listener has a heart. When Cai Ji thought of Tai Shici's untimely death in history, he couldn't help but refute that Brother Daozi was only six or seven years older than Gushan and Shanwei. It's also the age of making contributions. ”

Tai Shici was stunned for a moment when he heard Cai Ji say this, and then touched his long hair and laughed, "Xiao Fujun didn't say it." We are all in a good old age for making achievements! ”

At the same time, Wen Rui and Tang Ying are indeed working hard for the first military achievement in their lives.

After putting seven or eight pirates in a row in a pool of blood, Wen Rui glanced at the pirates beside him who had dropped their big knives and fled in a hurry out of the corner of his eye. However, he had no intention of chasing and killing, instead shook the blood stains on the spear and yelled that they were all a bunch of minions! Hey, the leading guy, get out of here! ”

On the other side, Tang Ying calmly commanded the cavalry to drive the pirates back to the official road who tried to scatter and escape. Because Cai Ji had instructed to keep the leader alive before, Tang Ying thought that catching more pirates might be more in line with Xiaofujun's intention than killing them all. Judging from the expressions of Tang Ying and Wen Rui, these two seem to belong to two very different styles.

However, just as Tang Ying forced a group of pirates to dismount and surrender, a sword suddenly attacked from his left side. It was too late, it was too fast, Tang Ying dodged the sneak attack sideways, and took advantage of the situation to draw the saber at his waist. There was a crisp sound on the ground, and swords and swords collided with dazzling sparks in the air.

"You are the head of the officers and soldiers." The sneak attacker raised his knife and pointed it at Tang Ying, who was the leader of the pirates.

"The head of the thief?" Tang Ying asked in a deep voice.

"Where. It's just a little minion. The pirate leader grinned.

"Not really."

Tang Ying raised his hand and swung his sword, and the sneak attacker also raised his sword. One or two sharp blades were like thunderbolts, and the white dragon went out to sea, killing half of the surrounding officers and soldiers and pirate minions one after another. In a short time, a clearing was made and the two men in the middle of the battle were enclosed.

But at this moment, another uninvited guest also jumped into the battle circle. Without saying anything, he raised his spear and stabbed at the leader of the pirates who was fighting Tang Ying.

The leader of the pirates looked up at the tip of his nose as the spear swept by, and couldn't help but say angrily, "This counts?!" Do you want two to one without skipping words.

"Why don't you choose one?" Wen Rui, who was new to the battle circle, said with his spear on his shoulder.

The leader of the pirates looked at the calm and idle Wenrui, and then at the silent Tang Ying, and suddenly turned over and dismounted and thrust the knife into the ground, Lao Tzu stopped fighting. ”
