Linxian, Li Biaofeng stood on the east city wall, looking at Mopan Mountain in the east with a cold gaze.

Turning over Mopan Mountain, along the Luliang Mountains to the east for another 160 miles is Lou Fu Town.

Li Biaofeng's spies who stayed in Lou Fu came back and brought back some news that made him very uneasy.

Qin Chuan actually occupied Mengjiazhuang, held Meng Guiming hostage, first blocked the attack of 300 officers and soldiers of Ninghua Qianhu, and then attacked the officers and soldiers at night with the weak strength of 38 old bandits from Jiujishan, killing hundreds of officers and soldiers.

From the depiction of the spy, Li Biaofeng guessed that the guy had taken a fancy to the cotton armor and war horses of the officers and soldiers.

Originally, Li Biaofeng, Ba Shanhu and others thought that the surname Qin was to serve the officers and soldiers, otherwise they would not have gone into Mengjiazhuang and would not come out again.

But I didn't expect that that guy was not serving the officers and soldiers at all, but killing the officers and soldiers, snatching cotton armor, which was no different from their blatant rebellion, which was a major crime of rebellion against the nine clans.

In addition, the gang also recruited displaced people, encircled the neighbors, and also set up several cauldrons in Mengjiazhuang to boil yellow rice porridge and horse meat to share with others.

Obviously, the guy was recruiting.

It is also obvious that Mengjiazhuang still has a batch of grain.

Before attacking Mengjiazhuang, Li Biaofeng had heard Bashanhu say that not long ago, a batch of grain was transported into Mengjiazhuang, about four or five thousand stones, and it never came out after entering, but he and Bashanhu almost turned over Mengjiazhuang and did not find that batch of grain.

It seems that that batch of grain has fallen into the hands of Qin Chuan.

Four or five thousand stone of grain was enough for the guy to pull up a team of at least three thousand people.

Li Biaofeng knew Qin Chuan's ability, it was a wolf, if he was given 3,000 wolves, he could lift the entire land of Shanxi.

You can't watch him sit big, or you will have endless troubles.

As soon as Li Biaofeng and Tongtian Zhu were combined, the two hurriedly went to find Leopard Five, and asked Leopard Five to attack Lou Fu.

However, now Linxian is no longer the final word of Leopard Five, a few days ago a group of people came, led by Wang Gang, who is a clever person, and has more people than Leopard Five.

Hearing Li Biaofeng's proposal to pass through the heavens, Wang Gang refused without thinking, on the grounds that Lou Fu was in a remote place, and he did not believe that there could be four or five thousand stone of grain in it, and if they pulled thousands of soldiers into Lou Fu, they might be starved to death.

Secondly, Cao Wenzhao, Cao Bianjiao's uncle and nephew are chasing from Shaanxi to Shanxi, and there is Li Bei in the north of the river meander, and his subordinate general Ma Ke is also a difficult opponent.

And Lou Fu is surrounded by mountains, there is only one road to the north through Ningwu Pass, the pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, thousands of men and horses can not take it, to the east is the Taiyuan Mansion heavily guarded, the south is the mountains and mountains, if they enter Lou Fu, Cao Wenzhao's army is blocked in the west, and the north is blocked by Ma Ke, they will become a turtle in the urn.

The five leopards took a cursory look at the terrain, and immediately rejected Li Biaofeng and Tongtian Pillar.

Most of the men and horses of the 36th Battalion were plundering in rich places such as Fenzhou and Pingyang in the south, so that he would not be stupid enough to turn headlong into the barren Lou Fu, and if he wanted to drill, he had no way out and was forced to do so.

However, the area of Pingyang in Fenzhou is also not stable, there is Hong Chengchou in the west, Zuo Liangyu in the south, Lu Xiangsheng in the east, Taiyuan heavily guarded in the north, and Datong where the border troops gather in the north.

It can be said that most of the men and horses of the 36th Battalion were surrounded in the Fenhe Basin in southern Jinnan.

In front of Leopard Five, there are only two roads, one is to go south to Pingyang, Fenzhou and join the other battalions, and the other is to the east, through Mopan Mountain and Guandi Mountain, enter Taiyuan Mansion, and attack the area of Jiaocheng Qingyuan.

While hesitating, Wang Gang suddenly pointed out another way: go south first, plunder all the way, take advantage of the arrival of Cao Wenzhao's army, and then turn up the northeast direction, hide in Guandi Mountain near Jiaocheng, and set up a large village at the intersection of the east and west gourd rivers to resist the officers and soldiers.

When the officers and men retreated in the face of difficulties and went to pursue the rest of the 36th Battalion, they could go east from the three cliffs to the area of Jiaocheng Taiyuan and to the south to Fenzhou, both of which were fertile and rich lands, enough for them to plunder and replenish money and food.

Wang Gang's route is equivalent to going around a half circle, and then stabbing his heels near Taiyuan and watching what happens.

The reason why they took such a long detour was that they wanted to rob more money and grain along the way, and they were stationed on three cliffs to prevent officers and soldiers from encircling the mountain for a long time.

Leopard Wu thought for a long time and finally decided to take Wang Gang's route.

Li Biaofeng and Tongtianzhu didn't insist anymore, although they relied on the money and grain they brought back from Mengjiazhuang to pull up another thousand people among the displaced people, but they didn't dare to fight into Lou Fu alone.

Last time, Qin Chuan was able to block the siege of hundreds of people with more than 30 people and defend the gatehouse, who knows how many men and horses he has pulled now.

can only let him live a few more days, Bashan Tiger will definitely not sit back and watch him stand firm, let him bite his head with Bashan Tiger Dog first, and fight both sides will lose.

It's not too late to wait until he reaches the three cliffs to find a way to clean him up, anyway, the three cliffs are only more than a hundred miles away from Lou Fu.

……

Bashan Tiger really couldn't sit still.

These days, he has been sending people to keep an eye on Qin Chuan, and he also ordered two hundred people to be equipped with good horses, wanting to wait for Qin Chuan to leave Mengjiazhuang, and take two hundred cavalry to rob and kill them halfway.

However, Qin Chuan's gang actually occupied Mengjiazhuang and did not leave, and fought with the officers and soldiers.

Except for the night attack on the officers and soldiers, the guy has never left Mengjiazhuang, has been staying in the gatehouse, and has recruited a group of displaced people to live in Mengjiazhuang.

Bashanhu knew that the batch of grain was taken by Qin Chuan, and that guy was recruiting troops and horses, so he must not sit back and watch him grow.

Thinking of this, Bashan Tiger continued to make people stare at Qin Chuan, looking for an opportunity to destroy that guy.

Finally, the opportunity came, and Qin Chuan took twenty-five horses to Montenegro.

According to the news found by his subordinates, Mengjiazhuang's mine in Montenegro did not surrender to Qin Chuan, and he almost killed ten bandits under Qin Chuan last time, this time, he should have attacked the mine.

After receiving the news, Bashan Tiger immediately gathered two hundred men, all of whom were equipped with horses, galloped with wind and thunder, and went straight to the Black Mountain mine.

In the last battle of Mengjiazhuang, he folded nearly 300 men, and he has not had to replenish the men and horses, and now there are less than 300 people left in the village who can carry knives and horses, and this time the dispatch of 200 horsemen has almost poured out.

He didn't fight Mengjiazhuang, although the grain must be hidden in Mengjiazhuang, but there were still more than a dozen Jiujishan bandits on the gatehouse, and there were hundreds of newly recruited homeless people, and the collapsed courtyard wall was also rebuilt, and his two hundred people piled up, undoubtedly to send them to death.

He is going to rob and kill Qin Chuan, there are seven or eight hundred miners in the Black Mountain Mine, and it is impossible for the twenty or so people in Qin Chuan to defeat them, unless they are tempted by money and food to recruit those miners.

But this takes time, he has to take advantage of Qin Chuan's failure to take the mine, go over from behind, and attack the mine on both sides, no matter how strong Qin Chuan's gang is, he will not escape death!

He had to get to Montenegro as soon as possible.

Huang Congshan is more than 60 miles away from Lou Fu, seeing Qin Chuan out of the village to Montenegro, it took an hour for Bashan Tiger's spies to return quickly, Bashan Tiger took half an hour to prepare for the preparation of men and horses, and it took another hour to gallop all the way to Montenegro.

At noon, Bashanhu finally arrived at the Black Mountain Mine, but he didn't see Qin Chuan, only saw dozens of corpses at the foot of a mountain beam in front of the mine, and after a cursory look, he didn't find the bodies of Qin Chuan and others.

As for the mine, the gate was closed, and a few figures could be seen on the two arrow towers next to the gate.

Bashanhu couldn't help but stomp his feet and curse secretly, he was a step too late, and he was succeeded by Qin Chuan.

Although the fence outside the mine was rudimentary, only made of wood, there were hundreds of miners inside, and he did not dare to attack it with two hundred men.

It seems that we can only go back to Huangcong Mountain first.

The two hundred horsemen had been driving for an hour, and they were already sleepy and tired, and if they rushed back at once, I was afraid that the horses would be exhausted on the way.

So, Bashanhu ordered the men to trim the mountain beam, let the horses drink some water and eat some hay, and sent a few people to the mine for questioning.
