Qin Chuan sat in the room of the gatehouse, his expression solemn, looking fixedly at a brief map on the table, quietly pondering.

Huang Liuxi came back to life, maybe it was Fang Qiliang's stabbing and bloodletting, or it could be the courage that was not afraid of death and the temperament of scolding his mother all day long, as well as the body that was already covered in bruises and far stronger than others.

But Qin Chuan couldn't be happy, because he knew that he had become a fat pig in the eyes of many people.

Someone is going to kill a pig.

Two days ago, some whistles of unknown origin suddenly appeared around Lou Fu, looking at the outfits of either bandits or rogues, it seemed that they were not from the same family, but at least three families.

Qin Chuan had a very bad feeling, and hurriedly sent people away to find out the news, which made him scold his mother, Fan Yongdou released the news, saying that Mengjiazhuang had a lot of money and grain, which caused Lou to annoy the surrounding bandits who were beating his idea.

There are Guo Yan from Guandi Mountain in the southwest and Ren Liang from Huluchuan in the southeast, the relationship between the two is very good, and it is estimated that they will join forces, adding up to more than 2,000 people.

Even Bashan Tiger wants to get involved, and wants to seek revenge on Qin Chuan, this guy doesn't deal with Ren Liang much, but he has a good relationship with Guo Yan.

There is also Zhao Sandao in Yunzhong Mountain in the east, who has been entrenched for many years, and the number is not large, only three or four hundred, but most of them are old bandits.

A piece of heaven in Luya Mountain in the north is one of the Liukou teams that captured the river meander, after the imperial court recovered the river meander, it was driven east by the officers and soldiers to hide in Tibet, and finally hid in Luya Mountain, with about 2,000 people.

These two are far away from Lou Fu, Zhao Sandao wants to bypass Ninghua Institute and Jingle County, and one day wants to pass through Lan County, and the two families are not in harmony, they have fought for territory before, and Zhao Sandao has suffered a loss by relying on the strength of the crowd.

In addition to these bandits and rogues entrenched around Lou Fu, Qin Chuan also got two bad news.

First, there was a cavalry of rogue robbers near Xugou County in the east, about 3,000 people, who neither plundered nor fought with officers and soldiers, but went straight to the west, and it seemed that they also came from Lou Annoying Mengjiazhuang.

The second is Li Biaofeng and Tongtianzhu, who are following Wang Gang, Bao Wu and others to plunder all the way in the direction of Pingyao to Jiaocheng, less than two hundred miles away from Lou Fu.

Qin Chuan knew that the target of that cavalry must be Lou Fu, and the rogue who could dispatch three thousand cavalry would only be one of the leaders of the thirty-sixth battalion.

Li Biaofeng and Tongtian Zhu will definitely instigate Wang Gangbao and the others to enter Luliang Mountain from the mountain road in Jiaocheng, and enter Lou Fu through Ren Liang's territory.

In the end, there will be several thieves who will gather Lou Fu, at least five people, with more than 10,000 people, and the fastest will be a day or two, and the slow will be three or five days before the army will come to the city.

It is unlikely that these companies will join forces.

One is because there are many monks and few meats, and there are not enough points, the second is that the time of departure of several people is different, and the third is that there are bandits and rogues among them, and there are even conflicts between them.

So, they should come in batches.

Whether it is coming in batches or together, it is not Qin Chuan who can win head-on, and Mengjiazhuang will be broken nine times out of ten.

Qin Chuan has already seen it, if he really can't keep it, it can only mean that this batch of money and food has nothing to do with him, and he can't afford to bury his life for it, so he will go south and join Nicholas Zheng Zhilong, and he can live for at least a few more decades with his son Zheng Chenggong.

But before that, he'd have to kill him in the dark.

If those hanging hairs treat him as a fat pig, it would be a big mistake.

Whether it is Guo Yan, Ren Liang, Bashan Tiger, or a Tianzhao Sandao, or Li Hongji and Zhang Bingzhong, as long as they dare to come, Qin Chuan will dare to put some blood on them and tear a few pieces of flesh down.

No one wants to get that amount of money and food easily.

Including Fan Yongdou's old dog, this plan to kill people with a knife is really slippery, if he is defeated, he will first kill him Fan family and leave no chickens and dogs, and then go south to Nicholas Zheng Zhilong.

After pondering for a long time, Qin Chuan began to give orders in an orderly manner, and at the same time sent several messengers all the way to Taiyuan to inform Song Tongyin that this Futai lord had just lost Shouyang, and when the first assistant of the court did not deal with him, he should know that his black gauze hat was about to die, so it depended on whether he had the courage to send troops to fight a victory to overcome it.

The second way is to go to the north to inform Zhang Zongheng, the governor of Xuanda, who seems to have some ability, and chased the Liukou to the vicinity of Lanzhou, which seems to be behind a heavenly butt, about two hundred miles away from Lou Fu.

The third way is to go south to find Cao Wenzhao, this awesome man and his nephew Cao Bianjiao have entered Shanxi, and are pursuing Zijin Liang and Gao Yingxiang and other rogue main forces.

Cao Wenzhao came from Mizhi County, should have entered Jin from near Linxian County, and then went all the way to the southeast to recover Yongning Prefecture, Xizhou and Fenzhou, which should be in Yongning Prefecture and Fenzhou at this time, about 300 miles away from Lou Fu

But Qin Chuan did not have hope for Cao Wenzhao, because almost the entire southeastern part of Shanxi was captured by the Liukou, he was very busy, and he had to clean up the big and small Liukou along the way, and he had to rush to recover the prefecture and county, rush to the aid of Song Tongyin, and then pursue the main force of more than 100,000 Liukou with thousands of troops, where would he have time to pay attention to the little Lou Fu.

Including Zhang Zongheng and Song Tongyin, Qin Chuan doesn't have much hope, it's better to rely on others than on himself, he has to try to kill his mother first, and then it's not too late to kill him.

At the same time, he sent people to spy day and night, always paying attention to the movements of those hanging hairs.

He felt more and more the importance of intelligence work, and if he hadn't noticed that there were suddenly more spies around him and realized that something was wrong, I am afraid that he would still be taking people up the mountain to repair the pond.

His subordinates did not not collect at night, and no matter how old bandits in Jiuji Mountain could fight, their sentry skills would definitely not be as good as those of the border army.

If you can win this battle by chance, you have to find a way to recruit some nights.

In addition, Qin Chuan ordered everyone in Zhuangzi to move immediately, strengthen the fortifications, and rush to make two kinds of sacks, one large and one small, the small sacks were first stuffed with dry grass and soil, and then put into the hemp bags, and filled the gaps around with grain.

Qin Chuan plans to use this kind of fake grain bag to fool those thieves, the inside is all dry grass and soil, only a thin layer on the outside is grain, if you pierce it with a knife, there will be grain flowing out, if you don't check it carefully, you will definitely not be able to see that it is fake.

He did not hide it from the villagers of Lou Fu Town, but sent someone to the town to inform him that one or two bandits would arrive in the next two days, and the number of people might be three or four thousand.

After getting the news, the town cried for a while, and the villagers packed up and fled to Montenegro, but a small number of people hid in Mengjiazhuang.

In their opinion, the Great Steward of Qin is a very great bandit leader, first with dozens of people to beat the Bashan Tiger, and then with a group of homeless people to block the onslaught of thousands of **, maybe this time he can also block the thieves from all sides.

Wang Jizong has read all the information, and he has been living in the village with Qin Chuan all night to study countermeasures in the past two days, he naturally knows that this time Mengjiazhuang is more than lucky, but he still brought all the people of the Wang family into Mengjiazhuang.

After his repeated discussions with Qin Chuan, Luo Daniu and Song Zhiting respectively brought a few brothers, one went north to find Zhao Sandao, saying that he was willing to take refuge in Zhao Sandao, and gave all the money, grain and horses of Mengjiazhuang, but now there are not enough vehicles and cattle and horses to transport grain, Zhao Sandao has to join forces with Mengjiazhuang to attack a day, relieve the siege of Mengjiazhuang, and transport the money and grain back to Yunzhong Mountain safely.

The other went to Donghuluchuan to find Ren Liang, and also said that he was willing to take refuge in Ren Liang and send money, grain and horses, but because Qin Chuan had a grudge against Bashan Tiger, he asked Ren Liang to help him destroy Bashan Tiger, and then open the door to welcome Ren Liang into the village.

At the same time, with the temptation of a reward of one tael of silver for the living and five taels of silver for the families of the deceased, nearly 200 miners were transferred from the mine.

Of course, he didn't tell anyone about all the enemy situations, except for Song Zhiting and more than thirty of his subordinates, no one else knew that they were about to face tens of thousands of enemies.
