The city of Ziyang County is as lively as if it was boiling, first Ning Qiang, the Qin army of Nanzheng Erdi came to assemble on the order of Zhou Liang, and then Zhong Kui took his men and horses, all the way to Ziyang, Zhong Kui, who destroyed the family and exterminated the clan, was like a madman, and he was entangled with Zhou Liang as soon as he came, and every sentence was inseparable from Zhou Liang to immediately send troops to Cang'er Mountain to avenge his father and brother, and soon, the Lu Mansion in Xialiang Town also came to join in the excitement, and Uncle Lu Dezhi also went to Ziyang in person to persuade Zhou Liang to send troops immediately.

Master Lu is really afraid, he is clear about the strength of the Zhongli family, but in the blink of an eye, a large family was killed cleanly, and he didn't even know how to break through the Lu Mansion, since the strength of the Lu family is not on the same level as the Zhong family, if this group of bandits is not exterminated, maybe when it will be his turn, you know, Xialiang Town is much closer to Cang'er Mountain than Zhongshan Town, if the officers and soldiers are negligent that day, the bandits will kill the mountain, and the Lu family is afraid that they will follow in the footsteps of the Zhong family.

Ning Qiang, officials from all over Nanzheng, and Hao Qiang also wrote to Zhou Liang one by one, imploring Zhou Liang to send troops into the nest immediately, and generously took out a large amount of money and grain to reward the army, with only one purpose, to immediately enter Cang'er Mountain.

In the minds of everyone, although the bandits gathered thousands of people, but after all, they are still bandits, early last year, when the peasant army rebelled, the momentum was much greater than now, and finally Zhou Liang's army arrived, it was like destroying these mud legs to the ground, in these people's minds, even if the bandits retreated into the mountains, but as long as Zhou Liang was willing to work hard, not afraid of casualties, he would definitely be able to exterminate the bandits. Zhou Liang's refusal to leave was just to ask them for a little more money and food, in order for himself to live his past life in peace and stability, everyone could still get this money and food, anyway, he could still earn it back from those mud legs in the end.

Faced with such a scene of indignation, Zhou Liang's conscience was secretly happy, but there was a look of embarrassment on his face. As expected by these gentry, Zhou Liang wanted to make a lot of money before leaving, this is the last deal, and when he arrives in the Han Kingdom, he can't be an official, so he can only be a rich man, and he must have some net worth in order to live well in the rest of his life.

After a few days of hesitation, the foreplay was done. If you continue to do it, it will inevitably make these people angry, Zhou Liang summoned all the generals under his command, issued a military order, and the whole army set off to suppress the bandits who were hiding in Cang'er Mountain.

"Generals, Ziyang, Ning Qiang, Nanzheng's form has been stabilized, and bandits are rampant. For the sake of harming the township, as a soldier of Daqin, my generation should solve problems for the people and move forward bravely. Death without remorse. Looking at the generals in the tent, Zhou Liang knew very well that these people were reluctant to go into the mountains to suppress bandits, and last year's defeat left an indelible shadow in the hearts of the generals.

"General Zhou. We are naturally willing to kill the enemy for the country, but Cang'er Mountain is so big, although we have thousands of troops. But as soon as you enter the mountain, it will be like a drop in the ocean, it is difficult to hit the enemy at all, and the division of troops will be taken advantage of by bandits who are familiar with the terrain, but if you concentrate your forces, the other party will avoid it, this battle, it is not easy to fight! An old and serious general put forward his opinion.

"This time, please rest assured, Ben will be fully prepared." Zhou Liangzhi glanced at everyone proudly, "With the help of the righteous people, I have already found out the specific situation in Cang'er Mountain. ”

With a wave of his hand, the soldiers behind him stretched out a map.

Zhou Liang pointed to the map and said: "In the past, there were few bandits, so they could be broken into zero, and they would attack them, so that we would not have a headache, spend a lot of money and have little effect, and even be taken advantage of by the enemy if we are not careful, last year's battle, I think everyone still remembers, but this time is also that time, now these bandits are several times more, and thousands of people have gathered, they robbed Ziyang, robbed Zhongfu, robbed countless gold, silver, treasures, grain, and cloth, and then want to fight with us, their captures can not be saved, so, this time, They will certainly take advantage of the terrain to fight us head-on. ”

"If it's a frontal battle, it's easy to do!" The other general nodded.

"Yes, as long as they are willing to fight head-on, we can destroy them without much effort, they probably think that if they gather a few thousand people, they will be able to fight with us, hahaha, after all, they are just a group of bandits." Zhou Liang laughed and said, "I have already discovered that the nest of these bandits is in the Gucheng Peak in the Cang'er Mountain Range. "They're building forts and walls there, ready to confront us." ”

Lu Dezhi looked at the map and sighed: "General Zhou has been quiet these days, it turns out that he is going to listen to the enemy's reality, but we people are wrong to blame the general." ”

"Master Lu said with a smile, commanding the battle, naturally you have to know yourself and the enemy, last year I suffered a defeat at their hands, this time to attack, naturally act carefully, if I don't know the enemy's situation, I still won't fight, but this time, I am already nine out of ten." Zhou Liang said with a smile.

"In that case, please ask General Zhou to give an order!" Zhong Kui said anxiously: "If you set off one day earlier, you can break these people into thousands of pieces one day earlier." ”

Zhou Liang nodded at him, "Okay, the terrain of Gucheng Mountain is dangerous, if you attack head-on, it will be extremely difficult, since these bandits dare to fight with us head-on, I believe they have also done a lot of work, so, this time we also have to use our brains, Master Lu, Brother Zhong, the soldiers of the two of you and the soldiers sent by the gentry, there are nearly 2,000 people in total, this time, I am using you as the vanguard, attacking Gucheng Mountain head-on, I don't know if the two are willing to take responsibility?" ”

"Yes!" Zhong Kui said loudly, but Lu Dezhi, who was on the side, changed his face a little, "General Zhou, although we also have so many people under our command, it is too child's errand to take on a frontal attack. ”

"Master Lu is not busy objecting, listen to me carefully first!" Zhou Liang laughed: "Of course I won't let you go to death, everyone, please see, Gucheng Mountain seems to be only conducive to the front of the attack, so these bandits set up the battlefield in the front, but they ignore the canyon between the Biandanya and Qingpingkou behind them, this canyon is extremely hidden, about ten miles long, both sides are full of steep mountain beams, through this canyon, it goes directly to the back of Gucheng Mountain, these soil do not deceive us and others do not know the terrain, although there is no slightest defense here, this is the day to kill them." ”

Looking at the direction pointed by Zhou Liang, Lu Dezhi suddenly realized, "It turns out that General Zhou wants us to bluff and attract the attention of the bandits in the front, while General Zhou leads the main force through the canyon under this flat dan pass and takes Gucheng Mountain in one fell swoop?" ”

"Exactly, the bandits have gathered their main forces in front of Gucheng Mountain, as long as you make the play straight, let them believe that our main force is in front of them, and the rear will inevitably be empty in defense. Our army attacked, but it worked in one fell swoop. ”

"Brilliant plan!" Lu Dezhi nodded repeatedly.

"Tomorrow, the army will be pulled, all of us will set off together to enter the Cang'er Mountains, after the army arrives at Tiechuan Mountain, we will divide our troops, you will march towards Gucheng Mountain with great fanfare, and our army will secretly turn to the direction of Biandanya, Master Lu, Brother Zhong, whether we can perform the gong depends on whether you can firmly attract the enemy's attention in the front, if you let the enemy knock out the truth, you will inevitably have doubts in your heart, then they will definitely notice the rear, we will give up the previous efforts."

"General Zhou, but don't worry." Zhong Kui said murderously: "I don't share the sky with these bandits, even if I don't want this life, I will fight them to the death." ”

"Brother Zhong, Gao Yi!" Zhou Liang clapped his hands and praised: "Go back and ask the leaders of the township soldiers to go down and receive armor and weapons in our military camp, this time, try to make the equipment in everyone's hands better, and it can confuse the enemy more." ”

This made the leaders of the township soldiers present overjoyed, the weapons and equipment in their own hands were naturally more than one grade worse than the regular army of the Qin State, and not everyone had a family background like the Zhong family and the Lu family. Taking this opportunity, the shotguns were exchanged for cannons, and the weapons of their own soldiers were also a surprise, anyway, this time, they were just attracting the enemy's attention, not to make them desperate.

At the fifth watch of the next day, more than 4,000 people under Zhou Liang gathered nearly 2,000 township soldiers, starting from Ziyang County, all the way to the Cang'er Mountains, and just after they set off, from Ziyang County, another team escorted more than a dozen carriages, but went in the other direction, in addition to Ziyang County businessman Li Fusheng, the other few people in civilian clothes were Zhou Liang's personal soldiers.

In the Cang'er Mountains, at the foot of Gucheng Mountain, countless people are digging trenches and building walls bare-chested, sweating like rain, and one by one the big trees are being put down, and some of the branches on them are hastily removed, and then they are erected into a position, becoming the beams of a fortress, a complete position, is gradually forming.

At the top of Gucheng Mountain, the leaders of the rebel army led by Niu Teng gathered in front of the map, and Niu Teng's finger pointed in the direction of Bian Danya.

"According to our agreement with Zhou Liang, he will lead the main force of the 4,000 Qin army through the Biandanya Gorge, and our main target is the main force of this Qin army, as for the frontal enemy, it is just some township soldiers, as long as we completely annihilate the main force of this Qin army, these township soldiers will know the news, and they will definitely collapse without a fight." Niu Teng was very satisfied with the National Security Bureau's rebellion against Zhou Liang, and this move, without much effort, pitted thousands of Qin soldiers, and at this time, these people were still unaware of the road to death step by step.

"Wang Qiang, you are commanding the township soldiers head-on, the number I can give you is not much, you can only rely on the current position to resist step by step, remember, don't fight hard with the enemy, fight and retreat, it doesn't hurt to retreat all the way to the top of the mountain."

"Understood!"

"The others will follow me to Biandan Ya, and we need to make a good arrangement for the upcoming guests!" Niu Teng straightened up, although he had a smile on his face, the killing intent in his eyes made the others present shudder. (To be continued......)
