"The wind is tight, pull it!" Seeing that his subordinates were almost moved, the cronies shouted with knives, and the thieves carried and carried them and retreated into the mountains and forests.

The owner of the Yiren village, whose face was a little fat, was so angry that his face was pale, but he still stood motionless and let them do what they wanted, not only that, but he also used his eyes to stop the young people in the village from planning to move.

Who told them to be almost unprepared, originally thought that this place was close to the mountains and forests, and the Song people were very generous, so they only sent some sergeants to escort the boat, and the entire field even handed over the matter of guarding to them, and they were full of sincerity everywhere, but who knows, but let these cliff thieves take advantage of the loopholes.

In the face of hundreds of thieves with knives and guns, not only were they less than half of the number of people, but they didn't even have a few weapons in their hands, so they could only watch them ransack the camp, snatch the first batch of mutual market goods sent by the Song people, and even those they brought became the spoils of others.

"Owner of the village, let's fight, it's all the hard work of brothers and sisters." A young Yiren saw that the thief was about to retreat, and he jumped to his feet in a hurry.

"Shut up! Don't move until I'm dead. The fat village owner had fire in his eyes, gritted his teeth and said word by word.

Fortunately, this time it is only a small part, the first transaction, both sides have the intention of temptation, although the loss is a bit big, but it is not worth losing the lives of young people, even if this beam is knotted, revenge, there will be opportunities in the future.

"Thank you to the owner of the village, we will definitely be rewarded in the future." The cronies glanced around, the shadows of the Song people could not be seen, and there was no sign of a boat coming on the river, so he said a word proudly, and then flashed into the forest with people.

The reinforcements of the Song people arrived very late, almost an hour after the thieves all retreated, the cavalry of the brigade traveled along the river, more than ten small boats were full of bows ~ crossbowmen, and the momentum was very strong, but unfortunately it was in vain, and the fat village owner and those Yi people looked at them with a wry smile.

"Three hundred and fifty-two people, thieves are not stupid, they know how to throw stones and ask for directions, this is less than half of their total number, and the strange way can make trouble for so many years."

In the county government office, Liu Yu put down the walkie-talkie, planted a small flag on the sand table, and praised him sincerely, Jiang Cai listened to his words, did not raise his head, stared at the place silently.

Although I don't know where the nest is, the approximate number of thieves has been figured out, this time it's just a bait, no matter whether they will go out of the nest or not, they won't move them, because Liu Yu's target is not only them.

"Ziqing, you are so painstaking, and you don't hesitate to send a large amount of money, what you mean is not only that, could it be Xiang Zhuang Dancing Sword?"

After a moment, Jiang raised his head and asked in an uncertain tone.

No wonder he thinks so, with the equipment training of thieves, the so-called "rabble" is considered to be lifted, and it is simply the people who have just put down their farm tools. With Jiang Cai's idea, just use the mutual market as a condition to let the Yi people lead the way, and just smash their lair, why bother so much?

"Old Jiang, come and see this." Liu Yu took out a map and spread it directly on the sand table, Jiang Cai leaned over to see that it was the topographic map of the entire Qionghai.

"Look here, there's here." Liu Yu drew a large circle on the map with his finger, marking the middle of the entire big island, which did not have any state and county settings, only marked with the names of mountains and rivers one by one.

"Qionghai is a place where we have been here since the Han Dynasty, and for thousands of years, we have only been able to occupy these corners. You have to underestimate these mountains, there are countless treasures in them, and right here, there is an iron mine, a very big iron mine. ”

Liu Yu pointed to those places and explained them one by one, Jiang Cai was confused, although the mountains are good, they can't farm, and they are not attractive to the Han people, which has been the case since ancient times, what does he mean by saying this?

"In the mountains, there is a world of Yi people, who are either self-sufficient, or exchange markets with the Song people, and are unwilling to accept the jurisdiction of the government, and regard us as outsiders. As for us, we also regard them as barbarians, who have always used and oppressed them, so we will set off rebellions from time to time. ”

"Now, there is such an opportunity for the Yi people to see that we have the potential to become their friends, to build mutual trust between the two sides, and then to lure them with benefits and teach them with etiquette, and they may become real Song people, so that they can fight side by side with us."

Liu Yu said slowly, he didn't expect Jiang Cai to accept it all at once, although he has been oppressed by his northern neighbors for many years, but in the eyes of the Song people, he still doesn't look down on such a barbarian, and year after year he has to counterinsurgency, return, and then go to counterinsurgency, and both sides are tired of it.

Since we have to see this as a retreat now, of course, it is best to avoid such a thing, Yi people are also human beings, no one is born with a penchant for bloodshed, as long as it is not particularly stubborn, it is not difficult to achieve peaceful coexistence, at least the well water does not interfere with the river water.

"No matter what you think, make a plan, do it, these twists and turns, don't think about it, fighting is what we are waiting for, when you stay here, don't come forward."

Anyway, I can't figure it out, Jiang Cai shook his head, Wenwu Shutu is not just talking, the two consider the problem from different angles, he can't think of a martial artist so deeply, Liu Yu said that, he just did that, anyway, in the end, he had to go on his own.

In the cliff thief stronghold in the mountains, the wide cave hall was full of things that had just been snatched back, and the snow white was bright and dazzling for the thieves who had been half-starved for several months, and Chen Mingfu also stood in front with a smile on his face, picking up a knife and looking left and right.

His heart was full of puzzlement, the things here are not small for a Yiren village, but they are not prepared, and even the Song people did not send a sergeant to guard it, how to look at it There is a trace of weirdness.

The knife in his hand seems inconspicuous, but the shining edge knows that it is extraordinary at a glance, is the Song people so rich? Take such a good fine iron to make a woodcutter.

"Leader, I inquired later, and the Yiren agreed with the government that they would only let them guard that place, so we were caught off guard, and when the Song people got the news and rushed over, we were almost home, so what if he had cavalry, it wasn't a dry stare."

Seeing his expression, his cronies said smugly, when he retreated, he kept an eye on it and sent people to keep an eye on the back road, so he knew so much about it, Chen Mingfu heard it, his expression suddenly relaxed, if this is the case, the Song people are not afraid.

"It's just that this time it alarmed them, and the next time they won't have such good luck, I'm afraid that they will change places and strengthen their vigilance, alas" The cronies sighed, grabbing not a small number of things, but there are also seven or eight hundred people here, and there is nothing left.

"Stare that stockade to death, and that place, don't let it go, all your men will be scattered, and see how they will trade next time." Chen Mingfu looked at these in front of him, and said with a cruel smile, as long as there is a next time, are you afraid that there will be no chance?

"Come, do all this, let the brothers have a good meal, and next time I will personally take you to do business." Then, pointing at the prey, he commanded loudly, and immediately boosted the morale of the cave to the top.

When I was invited, Huang Erniang was a little nervous in her heart, something happened in the first transaction, and the Song people came completely according to their conditions, and the initiative was all given, and not a single sergeant was sent. People have no responsibility at all, and they have lost so many things, how can they explain it?

"You sit down first, the matter is already known, what are you going to do?" Jiang Cai pointed to the seat, from his face, Huang Erniang couldn't see the joy and anger, and asked so directly, which made her even more uneasy.

"The owner of the village has a word, they are careless, so that Shangguan suffered losses, they are willing to compensate, if Shangguan is still willing to trade, the next time, the time and place are determined by us, they have no objection."

Jiang Cai glanced at her in surprise, maybe she didn't even know herself, and unconsciously, this "they" and "we" had been swapped in her mouth.

"Erniang, I came to ask you, if the government sends troops to exterminate those cliff thieves, are you and the people in the stockade willing?" Jiang Cai asked a question that Huang Erniang hadn't expected, which made her stunned for a moment.

"Don't hide it from Shangguan, this time the thieves disregard morality and loot the property in the village, the owners of the village are all angry, if the government has this intention, they are willing to help, even if they go into battle, it is okay, as long as Shangguan is still willing to exchange markets."

Huang Erniang said helplessly, in the current situation, it is not good not to bow your head, there is already a crowd in the village, rather than letting them take revenge privately, it is better to unite the government, at least on the surface, this Shangguan is still honest.

"Okay, you go and inform the owner of the village, when the time comes, we will do so" Jiang saw that she agreed, so he roughly told her the plan, the location is still the same, the number of things traded will be larger, and on the surface, the guards there are still Yiren, of course, they must be armed and make an all-out appearance.

"The thief's cave slave knows how to go, no one else is needed, the slave will take you there." Huang Erniang thought about it, looked at Jiang and said with determination.

After a few days in a row, Chen Mingfu has been vigilant as if he was facing a great enemy, who knows that not only did the officers and soldiers come, but even the Yiren were unmoved, as if they did not want to take revenge.

And the news from the spies is even more puzzling, the Song and Yi people kept strengthening the defense in that field, erecting the gate and the sentry tower, it seems that they are not ready to change places. To say that the location there is indeed good, very close to the mountain, and there is a waterway, if you really set up a village is still a troublesome matter.

"When, are you going to ask carefully?" Hearing the news from his cronies, Chen Mingfu suddenly became interested, the transaction will be carried out tomorrow, and the Song people have already used boats to pull things to that place, it seems to be a big deal.

"There should be no mistake, almost all the men in the stockade have gone down the mountain, carrying all kinds of things, and I am afraid that they have all their treasury. But it's just an idea, that place is about to be built into a military camp, and we're afraid we won't be able to eat it. ”

Chen Mingfu put his mind at ease, if this is a trap, it is also a very tempting trap, he is only worried about the cavalry of the Song people, and as for the mere Yi people, he is not in his heart.

"How many people do you think there will be guarding that place?"

"There were about more than 400 Yi people, and they didn't see the soldiers of the Song people, so they sent something and left." The cronies thought for a moment and replied.

"If it is a fire, how long will it take for the cavalry of the Song people to arrive?" Chen Mingfu asked about a key point.

"Come quickly, about half an hour." The cronies said uncertainly.

Half an hour, if you want to break through the gate and move things, it will definitely not be enough, Chen Mingfu touched the hard stubble under his chin and thought, time is too tight, and it may be too late to make a plan like moving the tiger away from the mountain now.

"Come, tell the brethren to hurry up and eat, and when we have finished eating, we will go down the mountain overnight. You will send someone to watch outside the county military camp now, see if the cavalry of the Song people is not there, no matter what the result is, hurry up and inform you, if your people are not there, they will not launch, understand? ”

Chen Mingfu's eyes rolled a few times, and he pulled his cronies and instructed, this time he is pouring out of the nest to fight with all his might, and he can't afford to miss the slightest, if the Song people want to play tricks, I'm afraid that they are ambushed somewhere in advance, he has to rule out this first.
