———— the following text————

Twenty days ago, Zhao Yu took the map of the surrounding area that he personally drew and came to Yang Tong's residence with Guo Da, and told Yang Tong his judgment.

"Margai exposed?"

When Zhao Yu said this judgment, not to mention Yang Tong, even Guo Da felt incredible.

After all, they've all been so careful.

"Tell me what you think." Yang Tong said with a frown.

"Yes."

Zhao Yu nodded, put the map he drew in front of Yang Tong and Guo Da, pointed to the area marked with Xiang Village, and said: "This is Xiang Village, as far as we know, the officers and soldiers have piled up a lot of grain and grass here, and sent five hundred county soldiers to garrison it, as if this is the sub-camp of the officers and soldiers. …… But as a sub-battalion, this place is really too unqualified, there is no battalion defense, a pile of grain and grass is piled here, it is simply seducing us, as a trap to lure the enemy, it is too obvious. ”

"But there are still five hundred county soldiers, aren't they?" Guo Da asked with a frown.

Zhao Yu shook his head and said, "These five hundred county soldiers...... I'll explain later, anyway, as a trap, it's too conspicuous, and in this case, how would ordinary people choose? ”

"Since it's a trick, then don't take the bait."

Yang Tong and Guo Da thought of it in unison.

At this time, I saw Zhao Yu nodded, and said: "Yes, ordinary people will choose to sneak attack the main village of officers and soldiers......

"Huh?"

Yang Tong and Guo Da turned their heads to look at Zhao Yu, and their expressions were a little strange: Do you have any misunderstanding about ordinary people?

“…… And this is precisely the trick of the officers and soldiers. ”

After saying this, Zhao Yu showed a little confusion on his face when he saw Yang Tong and Guo Da both looking at him with strange eyes: "What? ”

Yang Tong frowned and didn't speak, probably because he didn't want Zhao Yu to think that he was not even as good as an ordinary person.

But in fact, even Guo Da didn't follow Zhao Yu's train of thought, and after hesitating for a moment, he asked with a smile: "Ah Hu, I didn't understand what you mean, how could ordinary people choose to sneak attack the main camp of officers and soldiers?" ”

Zhao Yu spread his hands and explained: "Because the officers and soldiers have divided their troops, they have divided 500 county soldiers from the main camp and stationed them in Xiang Village, so the strength of the main camp must have been weakened; Looking at this situation again, the officers and soldiers seem to be planning to use Xiangcun to lure us into taking the bait, in this case, ordinary people will choose to plan as planned, attack the east and west with one move, feint to attack Xiangcun, deceive the officers and soldiers to send troops to support Xiangcun, and then take advantage of the reduction of the strength of its main battalion, launch a surprise attack on its main battalion......"

"I see."

Guo Da nodded in realization.

Nodding his head, he didn't agree with Zhao Yu's statement about ordinary people - ordinary people know that it is a plan, and of course they subconsciously choose not to bite the hook, and they still have to plan it, so what kind of ordinary person is it?

Shaking his head speechlessly, Guo Da continued to ask: "But listen to what you mean, this is precisely the trick of the officers and soldiers?" ”

"Hmm!"

Zhao Yu nodded.

He had never dealt with Zhang Jing before, and he had never heard of the reputation of the 'Five Tigers of Chenmen', including Zhang Jing, but considering that Zhang Jing was also the righteous son of Chen Zhong and Taishi Chen, and a general with tens of thousands of military powers, he was obviously proficient in the art of war, a general who was proficient in the art of war, but in the end, he drummed up such an ordinary person as Xiangcun who could see through the trap of a trap at a glance, how could this general deserve such a reputation?

Based on this, Zhao Yu immediately realized that Xiangcun, which seemed to be a trap, was actually just a camouflage bait, and Zhang Jing's real purpose was to lure him into sneaking up on the main camp of officers and soldiers.

And when Zhao Yu decided about it, Ma Gai sent a message, saying that Xiangcun was indeed a trap, saying that it was a trap set by Zhang Jing in order to encircle and suppress his Black Tiger Village group.

The news sent by Ma Gai was completely contrary to Zhao Yu's judgment, and Zhao Yu was also a little confused at that time: Could it be that Zhang Jing, who was under the fame, really planned to use that simple trap to plot against them? Or was it Margai who betrayed them and sent false information?

At that time, Zhao Yu thought about it for a long time, and then figured out this matter.

His judgment was not wrong, and Ma Gai did not betray them, the reason why the news he sent did not meet Zhao Yu's judgment, Zhao Yu thought that it was very likely that Ma Gai was recognized by Zhang Jing.

Although Zhao Yu didn't understand how Zhang Jing saw through Ma Gai, he was sure that Zhang Jing had seen through Ma Gai and deliberately revealed false news to Ma Gai, which explained why Ma Gai believed that Xiangcun was the trap set by Zhang Jing, because Zhang Jing tried to use Ma Gai to lure him Zhao Yu into taking the bait.

Zhao Yu knew, or he could feel it, that his existence had already attracted the attention of that General Zhang, and the other party just didn't know his specific identity.

When you think about it this way, all the doubts are cleared up.

Then the question arises, in the face of this situation, can he Zhao Yu push the boat down the river and get rid of Yang Tong with Zhang Jing's hand?

He didn't need to explain the truth to Yang Tong, and deliberately asked Yang Tong to lead people to attack the main camp of officers and soldiers, and then fell into Zhang Jing's trap.

But thinking about it carefully, Zhao Yu still gave up on this tempting idea.

There are two reasons for this.

First of all, if he chooses to push the boat down the river and pretend to fall for Zhang Jing's scheme, Ma Gai is destined to be unable to clear the charge of colluding with the Black Tiger Village, because Zhang Jing is already seriously suspicious of him, unless there is strong evidence to prove that Ma Gai has nothing to do with the Black Tiger Village group, otherwise, Ma Gai will not be able to keep his position as the lieutenant of Kunyang County.

Even, if Yang Tong is captured by Zhang Jing, Ma Gai will definitely die.

Of course, this ending is actually quite good, sacrificing a Ma Gai in exchange for Yang Tong being caught by Zhang Jing, although it is really a pity to lose the internal Ying of Ma Gai's level, but considering that Zhao Yu's goal has also been achieved, it seems that this is not too much of a loss?

But the question is, is Yang Tong that stupid?

Yang Tong must be on guard against the sneak attack on the main camp of officers and soldiers, and as soon as he sees that the situation is not right, he will immediately abandon everyone else and flee back to the main village alone; And Zhao Yu is not good at secretly protecting Chen Mo, Wang Qing, Niu Heng, Chu Jiao, Chu Yan and other future teams that he likes, otherwise he will inevitably be questioned by Yang Tong: Since it is to attack the main camp of officers and soldiers, why not let Chen Mo, Wang Qing and others accompany him?

In the end, Yang Tong did not die, but Chen Mo, Wang Qing, Niu Heng, Chu Jiao, and Chu Yan fell into Zhang Jing's trap and sacrificed a horse cover, which is not worth it.

Considering this, Zhao Yu thought that he should be calculated in a place that Yang Tong never imagined, for example, those officers and soldiers under the headcatcher Ishihara......

This army of officers and soldiers was deployed by Zhang Jing to the west of their main village of Black Tiger Village, and was ordered to prevent them from fleeing westward, because they did not directly participate in the confrontation between Black Tiger Village and the main force of officers and soldiers, Zhao Yu thought that Yang Tong should not guard against them.

As long as he can find a way to lead Ishihara's officers and soldiers to the southern slope of the mountain when Yang Tong and others attack Xiangcun and fight with the 500 county soldiers stationed in Xiangcun, Ishihara will definitely be able to detect the abnormality of Xiangcun, and then either send people or personally lead people to check the situation.

Ishihara, the Black Tiger Village once sent someone to inquire, because he had a companion who died in the crusade against the Black Tiger Village, he hated the Black Tiger Village, especially Yang Tong, once he found out that the people of the Black Tiger Village were in Xiang Village, he would definitely take action.

At that time, if Zhao Yu hadn't expected, Yang Tong and the others should have just defeated Gao Chun, the county lieutenant of Yexian County, who was stationed in Xiang Village, and were returning to the cottage with food......

A group of bandits who had just experienced a vicious battle, and the officers and soldiers of Ishihara's group who came to hear the sound, won or lost, it is self-evident.

Of course, if he decides to implement this plan, then Zhao Yu will have to find a way to take out Chen Mo, Wang Qing, Guo Da, Niu Heng, Chu Jiao, Chu Yan and others who he likes, as for others, like Liu Heimu, Zhang Feng, Wu Sheng and others, to be honest, it is dispensable for Zhao Yu, it depends on the creation of these people.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yucai and Guo Da met with Yang Tong, and made a judgment to Yang Dao that 'Ma Gai may have been recognized', and explained his strategy: "Since the officers and soldiers plan to use Xiangcun as bait to trick us into attacking its main village, they simply come to the opposite way." …… Let's send a group of people to attack Xiangcun first, Xiangcun is attacked, must ask for help from the main village of officers and soldiers, the main village of officers and soldiers thinks that we are in a plan, in order to induce us to take the bait, most of them will pretend to support Xiangcun, and when we sneak attack the main village, halfway back to the army to support, we will take advantage of this, and then send a small group of people to attack the main village of officers and soldiers, and deceive the group of officers and soldiers who pretend to support Xiangcun to return to their main village, and at the same time, we will send additional manpower to attack Xiangcun. By the time the officers and soldiers ran around the main village in vain and worked in vain, we had already defeated the officers and soldiers stationed in Xiangcun and grabbed enough food. Of course, whether or not to grab food is secondary, and the key lies in the fact that we have severely damaged those 500 officers and soldiers, under the noses of the main village of officers and soldiers. ”

Hearing Zhao Yu's strategy, Yang Tong and Guo Da both showed surprised looks.

"Is it possible?" Yang Tong frowned and asked, "Will the officers and soldiers be in the main village?" ”

"Yes!" Zhao Yu nodded and said: "Although it is a small force feint to attack the main village of officers and soldiers, but we can send Chen Mo, Wang Qing, Niu Heng, Chu Jiao, Chu Yan and others, this group of officers and soldiers has fought with us many times, it is very clear that these people are the 'fierce generals' of our cottage, as soon as they take the lead in attacking, they must be convinced, when the time comes, our large force of men and horses will have enough time to severely damage the officers and soldiers under Gao Chun's command, and greatly reduce the number of officers and soldiers." ”

Speaking of this, he glanced at Yang Tong quietly, and said: "Dazhai master, it's not me who provoked it, Liu Heimu seems to be loyal and righteous, but in fact he is cunning and cunning, far less sincere than Brother Guo Da." At the beginning, he chose to defect to my Black Tiger Village when he was desperate, but now, with the support of Zhang Feng, Wu Sheng and others, he has become the second leader of my Black Tiger Village, I know that the owner of Dazhai has a very good relationship with Liu Heimu, but I think this matter has to be prevented. If Liu Heimu is put in charge of the battle of Xiangcun, he will definitely be even more proud after the victory, and I am afraid that he will not even be in the eyes of the master of Dazhai at that time......"

"That's it! Hugh is going to talk nonsense! ”

With such an obvious sowing of discord, Yang Tong could naturally see through it at a glance, and immediately interrupted Zhao Yu's words.

After all, he also knew that the small group of Zhao Yu, Guo Da, and Niu Heng hated Liu Heimu the most, especially Niu Heng.

Seeing this, Zhao Yu deliberately showed a look of whimsiness, and was ready to say goodbye to Guo Da and leave.

However, before leaving, Yang Tong suddenly called out to him: "The matter of Xiangcun...... Are you sure? ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yu forcibly endured the joy in his heart, and pretended to be calm and said: "I am completely sure, if there is any miscalculation, let the master of Dazhai punish him." ”

"Hmm......"

Seeing that Zhao Yu was so confident, Yang Tong nodded slightly, and then waved his hand impatiently: "Okay, let's go." ”

Glancing at Yang Tong, Zhao Yu secretly sneered.

He knew that Yang Tong had already taken the bait, and he attacked Xiang Village day and night, and Yang Tong would definitely go out in person.

It is not surprising that this Yang Tong himself has no ability, but he sits in the position of the master of the Black Tiger Village, and he has to worry about the usurpation of the capable people under his command day and night, so he naturally has to try his best to keep the majesty of the lord of the village, and leading his subordinates to victory is naturally the best way.

As long as Zhao Yu insisted that the battle of Xiangcun would be won, Yang Tong would naturally be hit.

Zhao Yu was not surprised by this.

In the following 20 days, the Black Tiger Village stood still, while wearing out the patience of the officers and soldiers, and secretly preparing for a big battle with the officers and soldiers.

waited until the second day of the seventh month to start the Black Tiger Village.

According to Zhao Yu's arrangement, Chen Mo, Wang Qing, Niu Heng, Chu Jiao, and Chu Yan were sent to feint to attack the main camp of officers and soldiers to buy time for a large number of people in the village to attack Xiangcun, while Yang Tong and Liu Heimu took the rest of Zhang Feng, Wu Sheng, Ma Hong, Feng Xing and others to lead a large force to prepare for a strong attack on Xiangcun.

The only exception is Guo Da, at the suggestion of Zhao Yu, Yang Tong agreed that Guo Da should be in charge of the main village, after all, although this 'Black Tiger Village Grand Steward' is not bad in his own martial arts, he has indeed not done it himself for many years.

Around two o'clock that night, the three groups of people and horses of the Black Tiger Village went down the mountain in turn, each performing their duties, only Zhao Yu and Guo Da stood in the open space outside the main village, looking at the main village of officers and soldiers under the mountain from a distance.

When it was approaching, suddenly a fire dragon gushed out from the main village of officers and soldiers under the mountain, heading straight for Xiangcun.

It was a lot of county guards with torches.

"It seems that the main village of officers and soldiers under the mountain has received the news." Guo Da said with a solemn face.

As soon as he heard his tone, Zhao Yu knew that Guo Da must have been a little apprehensive in his heart, so he smiled and said with relief: "Brother Guo Da, don't worry, although it is not easy to say in front of the master of the village, but do you know the identity of that Zhang Jing, such a world-renowned figure, will use that kind of trick that even a three-year-old child can't deceive?" ”

"Hmm......"

Guo Da nodded slightly.

A moment later, he summoned his subordinates not far away and ordered: "Go and inform Chen Mo, Wang Qing and the others that you can do something to the main village of the officers and soldiers under the mountain!" ”

"Yes!" The bandit clenched his fists and left.

After about a stick of incense, there was a riot in the main village of officers and soldiers under the mountain.

At this time, Zhao Yu felt that the time was almost up, so he turned his head and said to Guo Da: "Brother Guo Da, you can almost take someone to our old village, if that Zhang Jing realizes the plan, regardless of Xiangcun and takes the opportunity to attack our main village, Brother Guo Da can ambush the officers and soldiers with Chen Mo, Wang Qing and others in the area of the old village. ”

Guo Da nodded, and then showed a little hesitation on his face: "The main village ......"

Zhao Yu deliberately said: "Brother Guo Da still doesn't believe in my ability? ”

"Yes."

Guo Da laughed, patted Zhao Yu on the shoulder and said, "I left Chen Cai behind, what do you tell him." ”

"Okay."

After a while, Guo Da took some bandits down the mountain, leaving only Zhao Yu and Chen Cai at the gate of the main village.

After seeing Guo Da and the others disappear into the night, Zhao Yu instructed Chen Cai: "Chen Cai, you guard the gate of the village for me, I have something to go to the village." ”

With the recent deepening of the relationship between Zhao Yu and Guo Da, Chen Cai and other bandits under Guo Da naturally treated Zhao Yu with respect, of course, they did not dare to disobey Zhao Yu's orders, and immediately agreed.

Seeing this, Zhao Yu held the scabbard with his back hand, slowly walked into the cottage, and walked straight to the cellar where Chen Zu was imprisoned, or the dungeon.

In the dungeon where Chen Zu was held, there were two bandits guarding, one named Huang Tong and the other Tian Er, both of whom were under Yang Tong, but for Zhao Yu, these two bandits were no strangers, after all, Yang Tong lost the task of persuading Chen Zu to Zhao Yu, so during this period, Zhao Yu would come to the dungeon every once in a while to persuade Chen Zu.

It's a pity that so far Chen Zu has always turned a blind eye to Zhao Yu's persuasion, neither agreeing nor refusing.

Therefore, when Zhao Yu appeared in the dungeon again tonight, these two thieves were not surprised, they were a little strange at most, after all, the entire cottage was paying attention to the sneak attack on the officers and soldiers who went down the mountain tonight, how could this kid still have the leisure to visit Chen Zu?

However, strange is strange, but these two thieves did not dare to ask.

After all, Zhao Yu's status in the cottage is not low now, not to mention that he rescued dozens of bandits who were captured by officers and soldiers by exchanging prisoners some time ago, although Zhao Yu's original intention at that time was to try to contact Ma Gai, but most of the people in the cottage didn't know about it, and most of the thieves thought that Zhao Yu wanted to save the captured brothers.

I have to say that in the world of bandits where the human touch is generally weak, Zhao Yu's deliberate action of rescuing his brothers in the same village can be said to be very righteous, not to mention that the rescued bandits are very grateful to Zhao Yu, and even the rest of the thieves are also in awe and favor of Zhao Yu.

Think about it, who can guarantee that they will never be caught by officers and soldiers? Once caught, Zhao Yu's existence is equivalent to giving them an extra chance of survival.

Probably for this reason, when Zhao Yu walked into the dungeon, Huang Tong and Tian Er, the two thieves under Yang Tong, greeted Zhao Yu with a warm face.

"Ah Hu."

"Brother Hu, come to persuade this guy again?"

"Ahh Zhao Yu nodded and said with a smile: "The big guys have all gone down the mountain, anyway, they are idle, I will talk to Master Chen again." ”

As he spoke, he walked to the outside of the wooden cell and looked at Chen Zu through the door.

Probably because of Zhao Yu's persuasion of Yang Tong at the beginning, Yang Tong didn't ask anyone to torture Chen Zu, but just locked up Chen Zu and asked Zhao Yu to persuade Chen Zu every now and then, expecting Chen Zu to give in one day, so Chen Zu's spirit looks pretty good, and it seems to be a little stronger.

In fact, when Zhao Yu walked into the dungeon, Chen Zu, who was originally in the prison with his eyes closed and recuperating, also opened his eyes.

Looking at the entire Black Tiger Village, only when Zhao Yu came to persuade him, Chen Zu would open his eyes and look at him, other than that, whether it was Yang Tong, Guo Da, or the rest, Chen Zu didn't bother to take care of it.

Smiling slightly at Chen Zu, Zhao Yu coughed, and said with a straight face: "Master Chen, it's been a while since I came down to persuade you, right?" I've already said what I need to say, and I'm not going to hide it, and I'm running out of patience. Today, no matter what, the master of Chen Zhai has to give me an explanation, whether he is willing to surrender to my Black Tiger Village. ”

Hearing Zhao Yu's words, Chen Zu was stunned at first, but immediately, a little excitement flashed in his eyes.

He restrained the joy in his heart, and after glancing at Huang Tong and Tian Er on the side, he pretended to be calm and said, "Okay, I am willing to return to the Black Tiger Village." ”

"Master Chen Zhai really understands current affairs." Zhao Yu stroked his palm and smiled.

On the side, Huang Tong and Tian Er's eyes widened in shock, feeling that this was too child's play.

Obviously, no matter how Zhao Yu persuaded him before, Chen Zu never said a word, but today, because Zhao Yu scared him, Chen Zu was willing to surrender?

And just when the two of them were stunned, Zhao Yu had already turned his head to the two of them and ordered, "What are you still doing in a daze?" Why don't you open the prison door and loosen the tie for the master of Chen Zhai? ”

"This ......"

Huang Tong and Tian looked at each other.

Huang Tong immediately whispered: "Ah Hu, Chen Zu is scheming, be careful that he deliberately deceives you." ”

"How so?"

Zhao Yu said deliberately: "Master Chen Zhai, who is a man of his word, how could he do such a thing?" Master Chen, will you? ”

"Of course not." Chen Zu said lightly with an inexplicable smile.

“……”

Huang Tong and Tian Er looked at each other, and Tian Er said in a low voice: "Ah Hu, the owner of Chen Zhai is willing to submit to my Black Tiger Village, this is of course a happy event, but let the master of Chen Zhai come out, this needs the permission of the boss, we ......."

"Huh?"

Zhao Yu frowned when he heard this, and said unhappily: "The master of the village will hand over all the matters of persuading the master of Chen Zhai to me, I have the right to make a decision, and you two will block it more, are you dissatisfied with me Zhou Hu?" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare ......"

Tian Er's color immediately changed, and he denied it again and again, after all, he also understood the power of the child in front of him.

At this time, Huang Tong pulled Tian Er aside and whispered: "Forget it, what's the matter when the boss comes back, what are we going to do if we offend him?" ”

Tian Er nodded.

"Whoa—"

The iron rope of the cell door was untied, Huang Tong carefully walked to the prison and cut the rope that bound Chen Cai's hands and feet, and at the same time he did not forget to warn Chen Zu: "It's best that you surrender sincerely, otherwise you ......"

Chen Zu glanced at Huang Tong, too lazy to pay attention to such a little person.

At this time, Zhao Yu waved his hand and ordered: "Okay, there is no need for the two of you here, go to the gate of the village to find Chen Cai, he will arrange for the two of you to guard the cottage, go." ”

“……”

Although Huang Tong and Tian Er felt that this matter was really a bit strange, they did not dare to investigate it deeply, for fear of offending Zhao Yu, so they left honestly.

At this time, Chen Zu walked out of the prison slowly, moving the joints of his hands as he walked.

When approaching Zhao Yu, Zhao Yu suddenly raised his hand, and at this time, between his index finger and ring finger, there was a folded piece of paper.

Chen Zu didn't speak, took the piece of paper, spread it out and glanced at it a few times, and saw that it was densely written, he smiled and said: "Hey, I even thought of my way out, boy, you dare to say that you don't have the luxury of subduing Chen, hum." ”

Zhao Yu smiled slightly: "You can also refuse." ”

Chen Zu raised the paper in his hand, and immediately lit it with the torch on the wall, leaving it to burn to ashes.

"No, I promise." He said.

I don't know if he was referring to the content on the paper, or if he was loyal to Zhao Yu.

However, for Zhao Yu, there was not much difference between the two, and after hearing Chen Zu's answer, he handed the sword hidden behind him with the scabbard in front of Chen Zu.

Chen Zu took the sword and pulled it out with a bang.

"It's okay."

He looked at the blade and asked, "Has this sword ever killed anyone?" ”

"Not yet." Zhao Yu shook his head.

Chen Zu put the blade into the sheath with another thud.

"After tonight, there will be!"
