Regarding Zhao Yu's attitude, or the attitude of Zhou Hu, the leader of the Black Tiger Thieves, Li Xu, the Cheng of Kunyang County, quickly revealed it to Liu Bi, the county commander, and Ma Gai, the county lieutenant, and they did not make any comments on this matter.

Subsequently, several important officials in the county government, including Shi Yuan, Chen Gui, Yang Dang and other head hunters, also heard about this incident one after another for some reason, and discussed it in private.

When Ma Gai privately informed Zhao Yu of this matter, Zhao Yu did not prohibit it.

After all, this is conducive to dispelling some people's expectations of the county, and making them understand that the only one who can save Kunyang is him, Zhou Hu!

In this way, Zhao Yu can logically include Kunyang in his bag.

Of course, this matter is not absolute, if Li Min, the warden of Yingchuan County, knows each other, listens to the advice of Xun Yi, the governor of the western region, and issues a pardon letter to Zhou Hu and the Black Tiger people to pardon their previous crimes, and uses the prestige of Yingchuan County and even the imperial court as a guarantee, then Zhao Yu is not impossible to stand firmly on the side of the Jin court.

After all, the rebels don't look at the current momentum, but their foothold is unstable, even if it is a year and a half or even longer, Zhao Yu still feels that the Jin State may be able to recover its disadvantage.

All in all, between the Jin state and the rebel army, Zhao Yu was ready to bet cautiously and strive for maximum benefits.

At the same time, the rebel general Huang Kang was planning to clear the 'Kunyang wolves' in the vicinity.

On August 27, the night when the negotiations between Zhao Yu and Guan Shuo broke down, the wolves of the Black Tiger Thieves began to attack the rebels and hunt down the lone rebel soldiers.

Although the total number of rebels and green forest thieves on the south bank of the Shahe River is about 60,000, and the number is more than 100,000, because the camp has not yet been built, countless rebel soldiers and green forest thieves can only stay in the wilderness at night, which provides convenience for the black tiger thieves and wolves to attack them.

Under the man-made wolf howl, the rebel soldiers and green forest thieves who were in charge of patrolling and guarding were constantly attacked, and their attackers were ambushed in dark corners, or they broke out when they passed, or they fired cold arrows from afar, and in one night, the Changsha army alone lost more than 100 soldiers.

In contrast, the losses of the Green Forest thieves were even greater, losing more than 200 thieves and hundreds of puppet thieves in one night.

This loss is equivalent to the number of Chao Leopard's gang at the beginning.

Why such a big loss?

This is to mention the other big leader of the green forest thieves, Xiang Hu, when he learned that he was attacked by the black tiger thieves, he immediately sent several of his brothers to pursue, but he didn't expect that one of them chased too far and was ambushed by the black tiger thieves, just like the prey hunted by the wolves, the wolves of Kunyang attacked in all directions, and the team of two or three hundred people, in the end, there were few left alive to escape back to the Changsha army's station.

After dawn, Guan Shuo received the news of the relevant losses, and frowned and summoned the generals under his command, as well as Zhang Tai and Xiang Hu, the two big leaders of the green forest thieves.

Zhang Tai and Xiang Hu are both leaders of the Green Forest Army who followed Guan Shuo's Changsha Army, because they had thousands of Green Forest thieves under each other in the past, so neither of them obeyed each other, and Guan Shuo was also happy to fight within the Green Forest Army, after all, once the Green Forest Army united, the status of his new Chu Army would be challenged, at least he couldn't order the other party as before.

Once upon a time, Zhang Tai and Xiang Hu were equally powerful, and neither of them obeyed the other, but a while ago, Zhang Tai suffered heavy losses because he followed Huang Kang, the general of the Changsha Army, to attack Kunyang, not only the small group of green forest thieves who followed him, such as Miao Liang, Guo Bao and others, were all killed by the black tiger thieves, and their heads were hung on the city wall of Kunyang, and even his subordinates were killed and wounded.

Now counting Chao Bao and others, there are only hundreds of people left on Zhang Tai's side.

On the other hand, Xiang Hu, because he assisted the Changsha army generals Liu De and Xu Bao to attack Zhaoling County, although he also lost a lot of manpower, but he got a certain supplement in Zhaoling and Dingling counties by forcibly capturing strong men, and the green forest thieves under his command remained at about six or seven thousand.

In the case of a huge gap in their forces, Xiang Hu naturally would not let go of the opportunity to fall into the well for Zhang Tai and his gang, and after the two sides converged, he made several mocking remarks, and even intended to annex Zhang Tai's few remaining subordinates.

In fact, there are indeed some people under Zhang Tai who have fallen to Zhang Tai, and even Chao Leopard, who was grateful to Zhang Tai for his help, is hesitant to change a big brother to follow.

In this case, Zhang Tai naturally hated Xiang Hu to the core, and heard that Xiang Hu suffered a loss at the hands of the black tiger thieves in Kunyang last night, Zhang Tai gloated, even in front of Guan Shuo, and laughed at Xiang Hu.

Back and forth, Zhang Tai and Xiang Hu quarreled in front of Guan Shuo until Guan Shuo stopped shouting angrily.

"Enough!"

After drinking Zhang Tai and Xiang Hu, the two leaders of the Green Forest Army, Guan Shuo ordered without refuting it: "Sweep away those so-called Kunyang wolves, I have handed over this matter to Huang Kang, and in a few days, I will have something to say, these days, you two will each restrain your subordinates!" ”

In front of Guan Shuo, Zhang Tai and Xiang Hu didn't dare to make a mistake, so they only responded.

After the regular meeting, Guan Shuo left Huang Kang behind and instructed the latter: "You must formulate a strategy as soon as possible and find a way to severely damage those so-called wolves." ”

It is not difficult to see that Guan Shuo's face at this moment is also a little angry, because he didn't expect that those black tiger thieves in Kunyang would be so arrogant and arrogant, even if there were 'hundreds of thousands' of the army under his command, those black tiger thieves still dared to sneak attack them at night and kill the lone patrol soldiers.

Therefore, Guan Shuo desperately wanted to pay tribute to that Zhou Hu, so that Zhou Hu understood that there was only a dead end against his Changsha army!

"Yes!" Huang Kang is in color.

After bidding farewell to coach Guan Shuo, Huang Kang immediately returned to the grass hut where he lived and summoned several generals under his command, including Song Zan, Chen Lang, and Ji Wu.

He said to the generals: "I think you also know, Kunyang's black turban thieves are arrogant, and they attacked our patrol guards last night and killed many of our soldiers. ”

Song Zan, the general under his command, said: "General, the black turban thieves will change the number of wolf howls every night, and it may not be easy to ambush them. ”

Huang Kang shook his head and said: "I have to mention this matter, the black turban thieves will change the number of wolf howls every night, but they will not change again overnight, we only need to sacrifice a team, we can know the number of wolf howls they have that night, and then we will calculate them, lure them into an ambush, and catch them all!" ”

Hearing this, Song Zan, Chen Lang, and Ji Wu suddenly realized that they praised one after another: "It is worthy of Qu Shuai!" ”

The only problem is that there must be a team to sacrifice, and there must be no less of them, after all, those black turban thieves will only call their companions through wolf howls if they find that there are many people on the other side and are not sure to eat them in one bite.

Thinking of this, Huang Kang looked around at the generals present with a calm face, and asked, "Who are you waiting for who is willing to be used as bait?" ”

The generals looked at each other for a long time, and a general named Zhu Yi gritted his teeth and said, "The last general is willing to be used as bait." ”

"Good!"

Huang Kang nodded appreciatively, and assigned the task: "In this case, Zhu Yi, you will lead two hundred soldiers tonight to patrol the riverbank, and if you are ambushed by the black turban thief, you will go to ......."

He spread out the map, and his fingers circled the map, and finally landed on a spot, at which point he continued: "Evacuate to this 'gray river', and send people along the way to imitate the black turban thieves and let out a wolf howl, luring the black turban thieves in the vicinity to come closer to you." In the meantime, Song Zan, Ji Wu and others will be ambushed in the area of the Gray River, and Chen Lang and I will also lead the army to ambush on the north side, as long as the black turban thieves fall into the trap, we will wait for the three bread clips to wipe out these black turban thieves! ”

"Yes!"

Including Zhu Yi, the generals responded with their fists.

For this night's ambush, Huang Kang borrowed 2,000 soldiers from the commander Guan Shuo, considering that the black tiger thieves and wolves infested south of the Shahe River were actually only about 1,000 people, these two thousand soldiers were enough to wipe out the other party.

After dusk that night, Zhu Yi, a general under Huang Kang's command, led a team of 300 people and carried torches downstream along the Shahe River.

As the sky gradually darkened, and the team gradually moved downstream, Zhu Yi's heart became more and more worried, after all, the further downstream, the more black tiger thieves appeared.

However, thinking that Huang Kang had already set up an ambush in the area of the Gray River in the south, Zhu Yi still had some confidence in his heart, after all, what he had to do was not difficult, that is, to lure all the nearby black tiger thieves to the ambush point before the three hundred soldiers under his command were killed and wounded.

As it turned out, his lure this time was still very successful, and those black tiger thieves really didn't intend to let go of his unusually conspicuous team of three hundred people.

Around the time of the day, Zhu Yi, who was marching downstream, suddenly heard a wolf howl all around, three long and two short.

"Black Turban Thief ——!"

Immediately, the three hundred trembling soldiers under his command immediately panicked and screamed.

As soon as the words fell, countless people screamed, and it turned out that a wave of arrows had been shot out of nowhere.

"To the south! Break through to the south! ”

Zhu Yi hurriedly ordered the whole army to break through to the south.

At the same time, he instructed his henchmen to protect him: "Quick, imitate the wolf howl of the black scarf thief, and lure more black scarves to pursue us and others!" ”

"Yes!"

Several of the guards, who had been told in advance, immediately turned around and left.

Soon, around Zhu Yi's team of three hundred people, the same wolf howl sounded again, as if more and more black turban thieves were calling on their companions to pursue this team.

Bursts of wolf howls were heard from the north side in the distance, and Song Zan, Ji Wu and others who were ambushed in the area of the Gray River were in high spirits.

In the darkness of the night, they vaguely saw a group of men and horses coming towards them with torches, obviously Zhu Yi's Changsha soldiers with torches.

Song Zan and Ji Wu, who were ambushed on both sides, invariably let Zhu Yi's team of men and horses go, and they broke out and launched an ambush behind Zhu Yi's team.

"Kill!"

Two Changsha armies of 500 men launched a flanking attack from both sides.

At this time, Zhu Yi, who had lured the black tiger thief behind him to the ambush point, could finally stop and take a breath.

Not?

Sweeping back, his face suddenly showed a little consternation.

Because by the light of the torches in the hands of some of the soldiers, he was puzzled to find that the team behind him did not seem to have suffered much loss, and it seemed that there were still two or three hundred people......

Did the black turban thieves not pursue? Or is it ......

『……』

As if thinking of something, Zhu Yi's complexion changed greatly.

And just as he was about to shout, suddenly, a hand reached out from behind his back and covered his mouth and nose.

"Poof—"

A sharp sword pierced his body from behind, piercing through his body.
