Du Youliang finally received his father and the young man in the clan, surnamed Qin, did not break his promise, except for the cousin who was beheaded in Dujiazhuang, everyone was released.

It's just that everyone, including his father, has a blue nose and swollen face and is limping, obviously suffering a lot.

After escaping from death, it was inevitable to cry bitterly, more than 20 young men of the Du family and Du Youliang took turns hugging each other and crying, while Du Yingguang was alone, staggering towards Dujiazhuang.

After entering the village gate and seeing the ruins in front of him, Du Yingguang closed his eyes weakly and sighed at the sky.

Du Youliang and other clansmen also came, some scolded in the direction of Lou Fu, some knelt in the ruins and cried, and some sat on the ground in a daze.

After a long time, Du Yingguang turned around and walked out slowly and lonely.

Qin Chuan led the first camp to stand on the south mountain beam, and quietly watched the Du family and his party cross the Lan River and go north along the Fen River under the escort of Fan Sanpao's men and horses.

"Go, build the fortifications north of the town, this place is ours."

Qin Chuan pointed to the fertile Lanfen Delta and said lightly.

"Okay."

Luo Da Niu grinned, and then took the lead, leading the camp and roaring into Jingyou Town.

Qin Chuan rode his horse north to check the nearby terrain.

Jingyou is located in the south of Lanxian and Jingle, is the bridgehead in the north of Lou Fu, in addition to the Lan River and the Fen River, there is a Longquan River in the north five miles, from west to east in Budou Gorge into the Lan River.

Qin Chuan decided to build a military fort in Budou Gorge, the place where the two rivers meet is not only a traffic artery, but also a dangerous place for soldiers, just need to put a nail on the slope next to the canyon, put a hundred and eighty people stationed here, the enemy from the direction of Lan County, to this is a dilemma.

If you want to attack a military fort that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also has to face a two-sided attack in the direction of Jingyou.

If you pass through the fort and don't fight, you will face a sneak attack from behind by the defenders of the fort.

Before there is enough strength, Qin Chuan will not easily invade Lan County, that place is much more complicated than Jingle, in addition to the Zhang family and the Hu family in the East Village, there are more than a dozen villages and forts in the Lanhe Plain, each village fort is less than one or two hundred people, more than a thousand soldiers and horses, the forces are intricate, and there are many gentry and big households.

Taking Lan County means that he has to turn his face with the imperial court, which means that he must have more than 5,000 troops and enough artillery and flintlock pistols, otherwise as soon as the imperial army arrives, he will be able to run away from the monk and the temple.

Therefore, in the early stage, we still have to defend Jingle and Lou Fu first, and the biggest enemy we face is Lan County.

……

The East Village is only fifty miles away from Jingyou, so among the three grain transportation teams, the Hu family is the first to Jingyou.

One hundred donkey carts, escorted by five hundred men and horses armed with knives and guns, slowly drove along Lan County into Jingyou Town.

The leader is a middle-aged man with a white face and beard, and his face is a bit similar to that of Master Hu Youjin, who must be the brother of Master Hu.

Next to him was a burly man with several scars on his face, obviously a man who ate on a knife.

Qin Chuan led fifty horsemen to garrison the only street in the town, while Luo Da Niu led three hundred and fifty to the camp first, and lined up on the northwest slope of the hill.

Qin Chuan knew that the Hu family had a Yin clan in the area of Luya Mountain, and when Yitian entered Luya Mountain from Lanzhou, the Yin clan of the Hu family was neither absorbed by the other party, nor did they conflict with the other party, but moved to the area of Mopan Mountain in the southwest.

The robbery of Hu Youjin is bound to alarm the Yin clan, the burly man with a scar on his face should be the Hu family's Yin clan, and most of the five hundred people are also soldiers and horses of the Yin clan.

The other party's posture also seems to be a bit fierce.

The Hu family's grain transportation team turned a blind eye to the first camp on the mountain beam, and drove straight into Jingyou Town, only the five hundred men and horses still occupied various favorable terrains, and the swords were unsheathed, looking murderous.

The white-faced middle-aged man and the burly man in the lead stepped onto the street and stopped twenty steps away from Qin Chuan.

"Your Excellency is the Grand Steward of Mengjiazhuang Qin?"

The white-faced middle-aged man didn't say anything, but the burly man took a few steps forward and looked at Qin Chuan with crooked triangular eyes.

Qin Chuan smiled faintly: "That's right, the contemptible person is the chief steward of Mengjiazhuang, dare to ask the name of Hao Hanzun?" ”

"Luya Mountain Ancient Dingtian."

"Oh? It turned out to be the famous Gu Dingtian, but if Qin is not mistaken, the hero should be surnamed Hu, right? ”

"Humph!"

Gu Dingtian didn't answer, but asked with a cold face: "The Hu family's grain of 1,000 stone of grain has arrived, hand over Master Hu." ”

"Master Hu is in the three cliffs, you give me the food, and I will help you bring Master Hu back."

"Humph! Don't pretend garlic with Lao Tzu, say it in advance, hand over the grain with one hand and hand over the other, before Lao Tzu meets Master Hu, you don't want to take a grain from Lao Tzu's hand. ”

"There's just nothing to talk about."

Qin Chuan shrugged, pulled the reins of the horse, turned around and left.

"Everybody, bye."

"You dare?"

Gu Dingtian was furious.

Qin Chuan didn't bother to pay attention to him, and left without looking back.

"The yellow-haired thief, you dare not take your Uncle Gu in your eyes! Brothers, capture this thief alive! ”

Gu Dingtian pulled out his long knife and kicked his foot violently, and the war horse under the seat spread its hooves and rushed towards Qin Chuan.

Several of his subordinates immediately dispatched a hundred men and horses, either following behind him, or from behind the houses on both sides, shooting arrows while outflanking Qinchuan.

The remaining 400 men and horses were in formation at the foot of the hill to the northwest, and their spears were lined up and aimed at the first camp on the hillside.

Qin Chuan was very angry, and the consequences were serious.

This Hangmao Hu family didn't come to pay food for ransom at all, but wanted to arrest him.

In that case, then don't blame him for being polite.

As soon as Gu Dingtian moved, Qin Chuan also moved, and galloped to the south with fifty horses.

He doesn't want to fight hard with the other party, and even if he wins, he will lose a lot.

Seeing Qin Chuan fleeing, Gu Dingtian and the outflanked men and horses on both sides were in hot pursuit.

On the northwest slope, Luo Da Niu's long knife had been raised in the air, but it did not fall for a long time, and he was only engrossed in staring at the situation in the town.

The hundred war horses under the command of Gu Dingtian were all carefully selected horses, and they were fed several catties of beans before coming here, the horsepower was very good, and the speed was extremely fast, the purpose was to capture Qin Chuan alive.

However, Qin Chuan and his fifty horsemen were all Lou Fu horses, which were much faster than Gu Dingtian's Mongolian horses, and they arrived at the southern town in the blink of an eye.

Four of the fifty horsemen fell from their horses and remained in the town.

Out of the town, Qin Chuan did not flee in the direction of Lou Fu, but turned in a different direction and went up to the west mountain beam.

Luo Da Niu breathed a sigh of relief, put down his long knife, and after glancing coldly at the spears at the foot of the mountain, he led the lead to the camp and went along the mountain beam to meet Qin Chuan.

Seeing that the surnamed Qin was out of the town, Gu Dingtian secretly said that it was bad, he didn't expect that the other party's horse speed was faster than the horse he had carefully selected.

It seems that the person surnamed Qin can only live a few more days.

chased until the west side of the mountain beam, and after seeing that he really couldn't catch up, Gu Dingtian pulled the reins of his horse and stopped the pursuit.

"The surname Qin, if you go far today, let Lao Tzu meet you next time, you won't be so lucky."

On the mountain beam, Qin Chuan also turned his horse's head, looked at Gu Dingtian with cold eyes, and shouted: "Aren't you afraid that I will kill Hu Youjin?" ”

"Hahahaha......" Gu Dingtian looked up and laughed.

"Even if you don't kill him, my Gu Dingtian will kill him, the Hu family in the prosperous era is in charge, and the ancient surname in the troubled times is in charge, this Hu family, it should be my Gu Dingtian's turn to speak."

After that, Gu Dingtian no longer paid attention to Qin Chuan, and turned around and left as soon as he pulled the reins.

His men also threw the sacks on the mule cart to the ground, only to drive the empty cart, and while guarding against going to the camp first, they followed the Lan River in the direction of Lan County's East Village.

"I ...... Fuck it! ”

Qin Chuan was annoyed, and he went back and forth, it turned out that he had done Gu Dingtian a big favor, and he played a trick.

The Yin clan led by that guy has long wanted to turn over and be the master.

Hu Youjin's hanging hair is simply worthless, let alone a thousand stones of grain, even a grain of grain can't be obtained.

Instead, he lost four Guan Emperor troops to enter.

This time, no matter what, I have to get it back.

"Go, let Liu Youzhu take three hundred Wudang camps, make a detour from the Black Mountain area, and hurry to the front of this group."

"Da Niu, bite them to death, don't let them run away, let's get those four brothers back on the field."

"Okay."
