Chapter 156: Killing the Traitor [Addendum 9/17]
Before noon on May 19, Xu He, Yu Rong, and Yuan Xu came to the Black Tiger Village together with a nervous mood.
They were accompanied by twenty bandits under their command.
As Zhao Yu guessed, Xu He, Yu Rong, and Yuan Xu before, including Cai Cheng, who did not come with them this time, did not think that the Black Tiger Village could block the second encirclement and suppression of the Kunyang officers and soldiers, after all, the Black Tiger Village was only one hundred and fifty or sixty people at best, and it also included a group of women and children, and the bandits who really had the strength to fight were actually only seventy or eighty people.
And Ma Gai, who went to conquer the Black Tiger Village, is said to have led a thousand people.
Compared with the number of people, Xu He, Yu Rong, Yuan Xu and others naturally think that it is difficult for Black Tiger Village to win.
Don't think they are stupid, just like Chu Jiao, when the Black Tiger Village sent someone to ask him for help, Chu Jiao guessed the reason why Yang Tong took the initiative to give them profits that day: it was to pull them together to resist when the Kunyang officers and soldiers came to attack.
In other words, their thirteen villages were completely used by Yang Tong.
This matter can not only be seen by Chu Jiao and Xu He, Yu Rong, Yuan Xu and others, but in fact, Chen Zu and Liu Heimu can be seen more or less, but for various reasons, Chen Zu, Liu Heimu, Chu Jiao and other other Jiuzhai Zhai owners chose to support Black Tiger Village, and Xu He, Yu Rong, Yuan Xu, and Cai Cheng shirked this matter for various reasons, and did not want to be used by Yang Tong - at that time, Xu He, Yu Rong, Yuan Xu and others thought that Chen Zu, Liu Heimu and others would also refuse, who would have thought that there were actually nine cottages willing to help Black Tiger Village.
In this regard, Xu He, Yu Rong, Yuan Xu and others were also a little flustered, among them, Xu He, Yu Rong, and Yuan Xu's cottages were all on the north side of Yingshan Mountain, to be precise, in Runan County, because the location was still close, these three people got together to discuss countermeasures.
At that time, Xu He said: "I didn't expect that Chen Zu, Chu Jiao, and their nine villages decided to help Yang Tong, now it's okay, Yang Tong must hate us deeply, how can this be good?" …… Why don't we bring someone to help Yang Tong too? It's a little late, but it's better than not going, right? ”
Yuan Xu shook his head when he heard this: "It's late!" …… Now if I go again, I can't show favor to Yang Tong, not to mention, this time there are nearly a thousand officers and soldiers in Kunyang, Yang Tong, Chu Jiao, Chen Zu and their ten villages together are only four or five hundred people, and the Black Tiger Village can repel the officers and soldiers I don't know, do you want the brothers to die in vain? …… Don't forget, Chen Zu, Chu Jiao, and Liu Heimu may not be willing to do whatever it takes to help Yang Tong, if they sacrifice a lot, they will inevitably give up Yang Tong and return to the camp respectively. ”
Xu He felt that Yuan Xu's words also made some sense, after all, he didn't think that Chu Jiao, Chen Zu, Liu Heimu and others would ignore their brothers' casualties and help Heihu Village desperately.
"If you go, you will be dragged into the water by Yang Tong, and if you don't go, you will offend Yang Tong again...... That's how it can be good. Xu He looked confused.
Seeing this, Yuan Xu chuckled and said, "We can do this, send people to watch the fight between the Black Tiger Village and the officers and soldiers of Kunyang, and act when the opportunity arises...... If the Black Tiger Village was quickly broken by the officers and soldiers of Kunyang, it would save trouble; If the Black Tiger Village and the Kunyang officers and soldiers are in a stalemate, I mean the stalemate, let's lead the brothers to help the Black Tiger Village, and help the Black Tiger Village repel the officers and soldiers, in this way, the credit lies with me and a few others, whether it is Yang Tong or the rest of Jiuzhai, they can't accuse us of anything. ”
Hearing these words, Xu He and Yu Rong applauded one after another.
However, they never expected that the Kunyang officers and soldiers, who were said to have a size of 1,000 people, were defeated by the side of the Black Tiger Village in just two days after they launched the offensive.
I remember that on the first day, when the Black Tiger Village used the mountain and traps to severely damage the officers and soldiers of Kunyang, the eyeliners sent by Xu He, Yu Rong, and Yuan Xu were also responsible, and immediately returned to the camp to report to Xu He, Yu Rong, and Yuan Xu.
Xu He, Yu Rong, and Yuan Xu put it together, and said that the Black Tiger Village can be used, and it can actually severely damage the officers and soldiers of Kunyang, so let's quickly lead the brothers to help.
After a brief discussion, the three of them decided to lead the brothers in the cottage to help the Black Tiger Village the next day.
Unexpectedly, the next day, when they led the brothers in the village to the Black Tiger Village, they suddenly got news that the Black Tiger Village had repelled the Kunyang officers and soldiers.
Xu He, Yu Rong, and Yuan Xu looked at each other at that time.
In two days, Kunyang County Lieutenant Ma Gai and his 1,000 officers and soldiers were defeated like this?
"Namagai...... It's rubbish! ”
Xu He, Yu Rong, and Yuan Xu were so angry that they scolded.
You must know that they are also ready to go to the aid when the Black Tiger Village and Kunyang officers and soldiers are deadlocked, but they didn't expect Ma Gai to be defeated so quickly that the three of them lost the opportunity to remedy.
What can I do?
Xu He, Yu Rong, and Yuan Xu panicked, and after ordering their respective bandits to return to the camp, they got together to discuss countermeasures.
Because they know very well that this time the Black Tiger Village has strongly repelled the Kunyang officers and soldiers, then Yang Tong will definitely not spare them - if it were them, would they spare the betrayed allies?
During this period, Yuan Xu gritted his teeth and said: "Just don't do it, let's unite Cai Ying in the south and attack the Black Tiger Village together, strike first, kill Yang Tong and his gang, and save Yang Tong from attacking us in the future!" ”
Xu He and Yu Rong looked at each other.
Immediately, Xu He frowned and said: "At present, there is not only Yang Tong and his gang in Black Tiger Village, but also the rest of Jiuzhai's manpower, let's rush to kill ......."
Yu Rong also echoed: "It would be good if the Black Tiger Village and the rest of Jiuzhai suffered heavy losses this time, but they didn't lose many people, I'm afraid ......."
Yuan Xu was silent when he heard this.
Yes, who would have thought that the Black Tiger Village side would repel a thousand Kunyang officials with less than 100 casualties?
If he led the Sanzhai brothers to kill the Black Tiger Village, in fact, Yuan Xu himself was not very sure.
The three of them discussed for a long time, and decided to send someone to Black Tiger Village to investigate the situation and see if there was room for maneuver in this matter.
If there is a turning point in this matter, then of course it is the best, whether it is to apologize or apologize, as long as Yang Tong and the rest of Jiuzhai can be allowed to expose this matter, no matter what these people think in their hearts, at least they can't use this matter to hit them in the future, otherwise they will lose their morality.
As for the three of them, be careful in the future, they are in a group, and Yang Tong and the rest of Jiuzhai may not dare to touch them easily.
But if there is no turning point, then simply strike first, in the name of congratulations, and destroy the Black Tiger Village in one fell swoop!
By the way, the rest of Jiuzhai was also destroyed!
After that, it's a big deal to be a scuffle between the cottages!
I have to say that even Zhao Yu didn't expect that the courage of these three people would be so great, if Zhao Yu could have expected it in advance, maybe he would have left Xu He, Yu Rong, and Yuan Xu, and used the power of the three to destroy Chen Zu, Chu Jiao and other other Jiuzhai, so that the rest of Jiuzhai could only go to Black Tiger Village in addition to rebuilding the cottage.
After reaching an opinion, Xu He, Yu Rong, and Yuan Xu each sent people to the Black Tiger Village to investigate the situation, and the results obtained from the investigation made the three of them breathe a sigh of relief - although Guo Da scolded the people they sent, scolding them for ignoring the morality of the rivers and lakes and ignoring the agreement of the Fourteenth Village to conclude an alliance, but it seems that things have taken a turn for the better.
Seeing this, Xu He, Yu Rong, and Yuan Xu decided to immediately go to Black Tiger Village to apologize.
Of course, they didn't expect that there would be danger in going to Black Tiger Village, so they each brought twenty brothers and helped sixty people, although these sixty people are indeed less than the three hundred or so bandits in Black Tiger Village at this moment, but at least they have the strength to fight, so that they can kill out of Black Tiger Village and get back their camp - they want to bring more people, but they are afraid that Yang Tong, Chen Zu, and Chu Jiao will misunderstand, anyway, sixty people are about the same.
Before noon on May 19, Xu He, Yu Rong, and Yuan Xu each brought 20 bandits to the Black Tiger Village.
After learning of this, Guo Da sharpened his knife and prepared to trick Xu He, Yu Rong, and Yuan Xu into killing them, but Zhao Yu shook his head and said: "These three people came to the cottage together, which means that they have taken precautions, not to mention that they still have sixty people. …… In this way, you go and tell the master of the big village, let him take Xu He, Yu Rong, and Yuan Xu to the big house to eat and drink, and the thieves under his command will ask Niu Heng to lead people to receive them, pour them down with wine, and when Xu He, Yu Rong, and Yuan Xu lose their defense, you can suddenly take people into the big house and kill the three of them. ”
Guo Da nodded and immediately returned to the big house.
At this time, Yang Tong was still drinking wine with the rest of the Jiuzhai village owners in the big house to celebrate, celebrating the repulsion of Kunyang officers and soldiers this time.
Immediately, everyone saw Guo Da hurriedly walk in and whispered a few words in Yang Tong's ear.
Although Yang Tong said that he had no ink on his chest, he also knew that Zhao Yu's strategy was better, so he nodded.
At that time, the nine village owners present all saw Guo Da and asked curiously: "Yang village master, what happened?" ”
Yang Tong said with a smile: "Xu He, Yu Rong, and Yuan Xu have come to my Black Tiger Village, and I invite them to come here to eat and drink." ”
Hearing this, the faces of the nine village owners present all changed, and they were a little confused.
Among them, Chu Jiao, Chen Zu and other individual people were the most surprised.
They originally thought that after Yang Tong repelled the Kunyang officers and soldiers, he would immediately attack Xu He, Yu Rong, and Yuan Xu, after all, these people did betray the alliance, but to everyone's surprise, Yang Tong did nothing, just celebrated with everyone for ten days.
During this period, Zhang Feng and others hinted that they hoped to eliminate the interests of Xu He, Yu Rong, Yuan Xu, and Cai Ying, but every time Yang Tong avoided talking about it, until today......
This Yang Tong can still tolerate Xu He, Yu Rong, and Yuan Xu drinking with them?
Seeing Xu He, Yu Rong, and Yuan Xu walking into the big house, punishing them for drinking and apologizing, the owners of Jiuzhai Village looked at Yang Tong one after another, wanting to see how Yang Tong would clean up the three of them.
However, to their surprise, Yang Tong didn't do anything, just frequently persuaded everyone to drink, as if Xu He, Yu Rong, and Yuan Xu had never betrayed the alliance.
He even interrupted Liu Heimu, Chen Zu, Zhang Feng and others several times to denounce and scold Xu He, Yu Rong, and Yuan Xu.
It wasn't until he drank for a full hour, and everyone in the house, including Yang Tong, was drunk, that Yang Tong said with a smile: "Xu He, Yu Rong, Yuan Xu, for the sake of the past feelings, Yang Mou and the owners of the village accompanied the three of you to drink this wine, and now that the wine is finished, the three of them should also go on the road." ”
As soon as the words fell, Guo Da broke into the big house with a team of thieves, and the knives fell, and Xu He, Yu Rong, and Yuan Xu, who had no time to react, were cut to the ground.
A few days later, the Black Tiger Village used the heads of Xu He, Yu Rong, and Yuan Xu to make a forced landing of the bandits under the three of them, which made the manpower of the Black Tiger Village suddenly increase to more than 300 people.
Then two days later, Yang Tong united nine cottages to crusade against Cai Cheng.
Cai Cheng knew that he could not confront Yang Tong and the others, so he gave up the cottage and fled.
So far, there are only ten of the fourteen cottages in Yingshan Mountain.
Among them, only the Black Tiger Village is the strongest, overwhelming the group of villages.
