After returning to Black Tiger Village that night, Zhao Yu and Guo Da did not immediately go to see Yang Tong and informed the latter of what they knew from Ma Gai's mouth.

At Zhao Yu's request, the two first discussed in Guo Da's house for a while.

At that time, Zhao Yu said to Guo Da: "Brother Guo Da, I think you and I should sum up these things from Ma Gai's mouth today, and don't tell the master of Dazhai everything." ”

"Why?" Guo Da glanced at Zhao Yu in confusion, and even guessed the reason: "You mean that Zhang Jing, right?" ”

"Hmm."

Zhao Yu nodded and said: "After all, it is the Five Tigers of Chenmen, a general with tens of thousands of troops, in the eyes of ordinary people, we can't fight such a general at all, even if this general suffers a loss for a while, but after that?" There are tens of thousands of troops under his command, and even the father-in-law of the family is still the Taishi of the dynasty...... Faced with this situation, how many people in the village still have the courage to continue to resist? I am worried that after the news spreads, the people in the village will panic and rush to flee for their lives, and at that time, we will no longer have the possibility of confronting the officers and soldiers, so we can only sit and wait for the officers and soldiers to defeat us one by one. ”

"Hmm......"

Guo Da stroked the short beard of his chin and pondered.

He also felt that Zhao Yu's guess was not impossible, after all, most of the bandits in the village had never seen much of the world, so it was not a problem for them to fight with the officers and soldiers of Kunyang, but let them rebel against a general with tens of thousands of troops in his hands - this introduction alone was enough to scare ordinary people, okay?

Not to mention others, even he himself was a little panicked and didn't know how to deal with it.

"But I didn't report it......

Guo Da hesitated and asked, "Do you even want to hide it from the boss?" ”

Zhao Yu nodded and said, "Brother Guo Da, I'm not provoking anything. But for the time being, the owner of the village is not so much close to you and me, but he is closer to Liu Heimu, Zhang Feng, Chu Jiao and others, as long as you and I tell the inside story, he is bound to tell those owners of the village, and discuss countermeasures with them. As long as one of them is not strict and leaks the news, causing panic in the village, it may be difficult to recover. …… In this case, let's simply intercept the source. That Zhang Jing, this time he was secretly visiting Ye County for private matters, he clearly didn't want to reveal his identity, as long as you and I didn't say it, who knew that there was such a figure among the officers and soldiers? As long as the brothers in the village do not know what the other party is, they will naturally not be afraid. ”

"Hmm."

Guo Dashen nodded approvingly, but there was still a little hesitation on his face.

It is better to hide it for the sake of the big picture...... How do you feel so familiar?

Oh, yes, Zhao Yu also said the same thing last time, persuading Guo Da to focus on the overall situation, and concealing the matter of 'Chen Mo and Wang Qing have learned Ma Gai's secret', and did not inform Yang Tong, which led to Yang Tong being threatened by Wang Qing when he was about to replace Chen Mo and Wang Qing with Liu Heimu, and the face of the lord of the village was greatly damaged.

This incident is the most fundamental reason for the gap between Yang Tong and Guo Da.

But today, Zhao Yu told him again that for the sake of the overall situation, he should still hide it and not report it, Guo Da was really a little uneasy in his heart.

However, Guo Da also felt that Zhao Yu was right, he was just worried that this matter would be leaked in the future and would annoy Yang Tong again......

He raised his concerns.

Zhao Yu sneered when he heard this: "Brother Guo Da puts the overall situation first, if he has to be reprimanded by the owner of the village like this, it can only be said that the master of the village really does not have the strength and vision to be the master of a village." When the time comes, we can find another way out, and Brother Niu Heng will definitely be willing to go with us......"

"Eh, don't talk nonsense." Guo Da immediately interrupted Zhao Yu's words.

After pondering for a while, he finally agreed to Zhao Yu's proposal, which made Zhao Yu secretly relieved.

Yes, Zhao Yu deliberately concealed Zhang Jing's details, indeed to prevent the group of people in the village from panicking and falling apart, but more importantly, he didn't want to make the plot to get rid of Yang Tong.

With more than a year of getting along, Zhao Yu gradually figured out Yang Tong's character, knowing that although this guy is ruthless, he is still a person who bullies the weak and fears the hard. Maybe this guy will sacrifice the others in the village to create a chance for himself to escape.

How could Zhao Yu allow this kind of thing to happen?

The next morning, Zhao Yu and Guo Da went to see Yang Tong together, and after Yang Tong retreated, he told Yang Tong one by one what he learned from Ma Gai, but omitted Zhang Jing's identity.

After listening to Zhao Yu's advice, Yang Tong asked, "Didn't you say that there was a 'general' among the officers and soldiers under the mountain?" Has the surname Ma ever revealed the origin of the other party? ”

"It's the general in Yingchuan County." Zhao Yu is talking nonsense.

Yang Tong was a little puzzled when he heard this: "The resident general in Yingchuan County? Shouldn't it be a county lieutenant? ”

Zhao Yu made up blindly: "The level of a county lieutenant can be in charge of three or five thousand troops, and he can already be called an ordinary general." ”

"Oh......"

Yang Tong didn't know anything about the official system, and he didn't hear anything wrong from Zhao Yu's nonsense, but frowned and said, "Has it already alarmed the county?" ”

During this period, Zhao Yu carefully observed Yang Tong.

As he guessed, Yang Tong was not very afraid of Yingchuan County, at least he didn't immediately have the idea of 'I can't fight'.

He could still calm down and ask Zhao Yu about countermeasures: "What do you think about this?" ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yu told Yang Tong again what he told Guo Da last night: "If Yingchuan County notices us, then it's better for us to avoid the limelight." But at present, the officers and soldiers are stationed in the east, and more than 200 county soldiers led by the head catcher Ishihara are stationed in the west to try to intercept us. Therefore, I suggest that we still find a way to evacuate westward, we can withdraw to the west side of Yingshan, gain a foothold in Luyang and Liangxian, and wait until the limelight passes, we can come back. ”

"Hmm."

Yang Tong nodded slightly, but asked even the other, "How can the more than 200 people in the western stone plain solve it?" ”

Zhao Yu said confidently: "There are only more than 200 people under Ishihara, if we want to evacuate to the west, can he stop it?" He can't stop it! On the other hand, as long as we break through the officers and soldiers at the foot of the mountain and take the opportunity to evacuate to the west, how can we stop us with the more than 200 people in Ishihara alone? …… Therefore, this army of officers and soldiers is actually no threat, what they really care about is still the main force of officers and soldiers on the east side, as long as they can defeat it and inflict heavy damage on it, we can get enough time to evacuate. ”

"Hmm......"

Yang Tong pondered for a while, and finally approved Zhao Yu's proposal.

But how to defeat and how to inflict heavy losses on the officers and soldiers under the mountain?

Considering that there was a Zhang Jing among the officers and soldiers under the mountain, Zhao Yu didn't want to talk too much, so as not to arouse Yang Tong's suspicion that the battle situation would be unfavorable in the future, so he said cautiously: "For the time being, the defense will replace the attack, the preparation of the officers and soldiers in the past few days shows that they are about to launch a fierce attack on our main village, we can take advantage of the mountain situation to take the opportunity to reduce its troops, consume its morale, and when the time is right, we will suddenly attack, counterattack the mountain, and defeat the officers and soldiers in one fell swoop!" ”

Yang Tong didn't understand the art of war, and when he heard Zhao Yu say it confidently, he didn't ask any more questions.

On the same day, after Zhao Yu and Guo Da left, Yang Tong really summoned Liu Heimu, Zhang Feng, Chu Jiao and others to discuss countermeasures to defeat the officers and soldiers.

I have to say that as Yang Tong has more and more people under him, he naturally won't put all his expectations on Zhao Yu, but unfortunately, Liu Heimu, Zhang Feng, Chu Jiao and others can't think of a better way.

Even Chu Jiao, who cares most about Zhao Yu among these people, thinks that Zhao Yu's consideration is the most secure and thorough.

It is worth mentioning that when they learned that there were people sent from 'Yingchuan County' among the officers and soldiers under the mountain, Zhang Feng, Wu Sheng, and Ma Hong were inevitably a little flustered, after all, the energy of a county is far more than that of a county.

But fortunately, this is still within the acceptable range.

Among them, Liu Heimu had the strongest fighting spirit, first supported Zhao Yu's proposal, and he even threatened to kill the general to avenge Liu Mao.

Yes, Liu Mao died, he used a dark arrow to sneak attack Zhang Jing that day, but he didn't want to be caught by Zhang Jing and the arrow was reflexively shot in the right eye, although Liu Mao was immediately rescued by his subordinates back to the main village, but he was no longer able to do it at that time.

After pulling out the arrow in his eye, Liu Mao died in pain that night, becoming the highest leader of the Black Tiger Village to sacrifice since the crusade of the officers and soldiers.

After Liu Mao's death, his subordinates defected to Liu Heimu, after all, Liu Heimu was faintly the leader of the 'defection faction', and Liu Heimu wanted to win the hearts of these bandits, so naturally he had to find a way to avenge Liu Mao.

I have to say that Liu Heimu didn't know Zhang Jing's identity, otherwise, he would never have the courage to find a general with tens of thousands of troops in his hands to take revenge.

In short, under Zhao Yu's secret control, the Black Tiger Village group that did not know Zhang Jing's details was not afraid to continue to confront the officers and soldiers under the mountain, which ensured that Zhao Yu's next intention could be implemented smoothly.

However, Zhang Jing was suspicious of this.

Since the Black Tiger Village group 'night attacked' Ma Gai's station on the mountain, Zhang Jing waited patiently for three days, wanting to see if the group of thieves on the mountain would be frightened by his identity - if he was really frightened by his identity, then he would not be polite, and would immediately launch a general attack.

Unexpectedly, he waited for three days, and there was no abnormality in the Black Tiger Village.

What's going on?

Could it be that Zhang Jing, one of the five tigers of his Chen Sect, has no cards like this? Can't even scare a bunch of petty thieves?

Of course, this is impossible, Zhang Jing feels that no matter what, he, a general with tens of thousands of troops, can still scare a group of bandits.

"Am I wrong? In fact, Ma Gai is not the internal response of the Black Tiger Village, and he did not report to the Black Tiger Village?"

Zhang Jing thought for a long time.

After pondering over and over the suspicious deeds of Margai, he felt that he should not make a wrong judgment.

Then there is only one answer, that is, the leader of the thieves of the Black Tiger Village, including the conspirator, covered up his identity as Zhang Jing, and even had the courage to continue to fight him.
