Chapter 39: Fan Yongdou is here
As Qin Chuan guessed, Fan Sanpao didn't seem to want to leave, and stayed on that mountain beam all the time.
Qin Chuan asked Luo Daniu to take 300 Xiangyong to pretend to return to Mengjiazhuang, and he only took 20 horsemen to stay on the edge of the cemetery in Dayutou.
As soon as the three hundred Xiangyong walked out of a few dozen steps, Fan San moved, and slowly approached Qin Chuan with one hundred and sixty horsemen, probably wanting to wait for the three hundred Xiangyong to go away, and then attack and kill Qin Chuan and the twenty horsemen.
Of course, Qin Chuan was not stupid enough to be like this, and immediately asked Luo Daniu to bring back two hundred Xiangyong, and the other one hundred Xiangyong was led by Luo Ba and went back to guard the village.
As soon as Xiang Yong came back, Fan Sanpao immediately led people away, and stood on the mountain beam and looked at it from afar.
Qin Chuan felt a little funny, when he followed Bashan Tiger a few days ago, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his behavior, but now after seeing Fan Sanpao, he felt quite funny.
As soon as there is a gap, he will come over, and when he is chased, he will run away, which is not like a wolf, but compared to the African hyena.
Qin Chuan didn't leave at all, but only asked people to go back to Mengjiazhuang to prepare food for more than 200 people, and then send it over when it was time to eat, anyway, this mountain beam is less than a mile away from Mengjiazhuang, and the food delivery is very close.
However, Fan San came from afar, and he was riding lightly, so he definitely couldn't bring much rations, and it would be good to have three or five days.
When he sent someone to buy food...... Just intercept and kill the person who transports grain, and you are not afraid that he will not retreat.
This method is not a good method, but it can only be used in this way, in the past few days, Qin Chuan can't do anything, he can only let two hundred people stay with him by the grave of the big fish head, there are so many people to guard the tomb for him, the big fish head should feel happy below.
If Fan Sanpao dares to spend the night here...... Qin Chuan was confident that he could torture him to the point of madness, and every half an hour he sent a group of people over to beat gongs and drums and roar for a long time, but if he didn't give them sleep, he would have to get out of the house in two days at most.
What I'm afraid of is that Fan San will leave at night and come back during the day, and he can't catch up with him, and he can't catch up, and he can't drive away, during this period, the people in Mengjiazhuang don't want to come out, unless hundreds of people come out.
At present, it seems that Fan Sanpao is likely to take the second way, until the Fan family sends people to reinforce it.
When it was time to eat, Meng Jiazhuang used a chicken cart to push a few cauldrons, and Qin Chuan asked his subordinates to divide them into two batches, one to eat, and the other to prevent Fan San from sneaking up.
Fan Sanpao's 160 men dismounted one after another, sat on the ground and ate dry food, while the horses ate some dry grass nearby, and a few of them even took water bladders to find water sources to fetch water to feed the horses.
Two groups of people were consumed like this.
The people in Lou Fu Town had long been hiding far away, and after figuring out the origin of Fan Sanpao's gang and knowing that they were not thieves, they returned to the town one after another, and gathered together to sit outside the town and watch the excitement of the two groups of people.
It wasn't until it was dark that Fan Sanpao swaggered towards Jingyou Town with his people, apparently planning to go to Jingyou Town for the night.
Qin Chuan did not relax his vigilance, but instead strengthened the sentry, and also sent Bobcat and another more clever subordinate to keep an eye on Fan Sanpao's people.
It wasn't until it was confirmed that Fan Sanpai's people had gone away, Qin Chuan asked his subordinates to dig a pit again twenty steps behind the grave of the big fish head, preparing to move the coffin of the big fish head here.
"Big fish head, we don't want to dig your grave, but if you don't, those bitches will whip your corpse, so you can be wronged, let's move the ground first."
"Big fish head, your house is just a few steps back, it won't get in the way, and you can live comfortably."
"Alas, you have to think of the good of the brothers, in order not to let you be whipped, the brothers have been here for a day."
"Big fish head, we've dug up, you are not allowed to cheat the corpse."
After digging the pit, a group of old bandits from Jiuji Mountain went to the grave of the big fish head and chattered for a while before digging.
After a while, the coffin of the big fish head was dug out, and a group of old bandits from Jiuji Mountain carried the coffin to the newly dug pit, filled it with soil, and then shoveled a thin layer of soil from the ground in the distance, spread it on it, and sprinkled dry mud and sand on the gaps to hide the traces.
The original grave was also refilled and repaired exactly as before, to hide people's eyes and ears.
After carefully inspecting it and confirming that there were no obvious traces on the ground, Qin Chuan arranged for six old bandits from Jiuji Mountain, divided into three shifts, to take turns to be detectives on the main road leading to Jingyou.
Then, he returned to Mengjiazhuang with 200 Xiangyong, and asked Luo Daniu to lead ten old bandits from Jiujishan and 100 Xiangyong without chicken blindness, loaded 50 stone of grain with horses and chicken carts, and sent them to the mine overnight.
Because of the fear that the miners would rob the grain and rebel, Meng Guiming used to only transport grain to the mine for fifteen days at a time, and the grain stock in the mine has never been much, and when Qin Chuan took over, there were only six or seven days of grain left in it, because Mengjiazhuang lacked carts, Qin Chuan had to let the people from the mine rush a few carts and dozens of chicken carts, and loaded fifty stone of grain two days ago and transported it over.
But now, with the ghost of Fan Sanpao, he can't transport food, and he can't send three or five hundred people to escort him, in that case, Zhuangzi's garrison is empty, and it will be miserable if Fan Sanpao breaks through.
He and the old bandits of Jiuji Mountain could only guard the gatehouse, but could not guard the huge Mengjiazhuang.
Therefore, he had to transport another batch of grain to the mine at night, so as to avoid not being able to transport it day and night for a few days, resulting in a shortage of grain in the mine.
Before Fan Sanpai was dealt with, Jingyou Du's food would not be able to be grabbed for the time being, and Bashan Tiger's Huangcongshan Village would not be able to fight for the time being.
Qin Chuan estimated that he would have to spend at least three or five days with Fan San, and it might take longer.
Fortunately, Mengjiazhuang's land is planted with winter wheat this year, so there is no need to go out to take care of the fields at this time.
But it won't be long before we have to press the seedlings in the field, and if Fan Sanpai is not solved at that time, the yield of winter wheat harvested next summer will definitely be much lower.
I have to think of a way to kill Fan Sanpao.
……
The next day, early in the morning, Fan San came and estimated that he would set off from Jingyou before dawn.
This time, he took only a hundred horsemen with him, and the other sixty were nowhere to be seen.
Qin Chuan is most worried about this, it's okay for the other party's 160 people to get together, you can see it, if it is broken down into a light and a dark, it will be difficult to deal with, and you have to always be wary of the group of people in the dark.
Fan San is cheap enough, just ...... It is said that Bashan Tiger also felt very cheap at that time.
On this day, Qin Chuan did not leave the village, and kept standing on the top of the gatehouse, glancing at Fan Sanpao in the distance from time to time.
Fan Sanpao's 100 men and horses were digging the grave of the big fish head, and soon they dug it to the bottom, but no coffin was found.
After getting the news, Fan Sanpao did not send someone to look around, but looked at Qin Chuan from a distance, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
After dark, Fan Sanpao took people away.
Early the next morning, as agreed, he appeared near Mengjiazhuang with his people.
Qin Chuan still didn't leave the village, so he only let Luo Daniu and those old bandits from Jiuji Mountain hurry up to train their soldiers.
In this way, one shrank in the Zhuangzi, the other wandered outside, and the two spent another two days.
It wasn't until the fourth day that Fan Sanpao came again, but this time it was not a hundred, but a full five or six hundred.
The one who took the lead was not Fan Sanpao, but a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties with a kind face.
This person should be the famous Fan Yongdou.
