Dongyue Taishan, as the head of the five mountains, known as Mount Tai and the small world said, it is because Mount Tai is big and dangerous, so gathered a large number of bandits and bandits, although the soldiers and horses of the court want to exterminate them, but the mountain is dangerous, unless more than 100,000 troops are sent to attack the mountain together, otherwise the bandits drill into the mountain, the soldiers and horses of the court have no way to take them, can only return in vain, gradually, Xu, Yan Erzhou will let the thieves of Mount Tai dance wildly, as long as they do not make too much trouble, the court will let them go.

Although the old priest said to Li Qing that he was not afraid of the Taishan thieves who came to attack, but Li Qing still saw the nervousness of the old sacrifice, since Wang Mang was hit hard, the mastiff tribe has been in a slump, these years because of the discovery of gold mines, the mastiff tribe has only improved slightly, the old priest knows, even if this time can defeat the thieves who come to attack, but the secret of the gold mine spreads, the thieves will continue to come, the mastiff tribe can repel the enemy who came once or twice, but what if three or four times? Someday, the mastiff tribe will fall because they can't resist the attacks of the thieves.

Li Qing under the leadership of the old priest, checked the gold mine, this is indeed a rich mine, now the mastiff tribe people only mined the surface layer, did not touch the real mineral deposits at all, according to Li Qing's estimate, this gold mine, if it is completely mined, will not be less than hundreds of tons, of course, with the mining technology of the Han Dynasty, if you want to fully mine this gold mine, it may take hundreds of years, so if you want to fully mine this mine, it is not to think, but even so, the value of this mine is difficult to estimate.

On weekdays, the mastiff tribe does not mine gold, and only occasionally when it is necessary to exchange some necessities with the Han people, they will take out a little in exchange.

The old priest smiled bitterly and said, "King, what should be done with this treasure now, and please show the king?" ”

Li Qing is also thinking about how to use this mine, if it was in the period of Qin Shi Huang, Li Qing must not hesitate to dedicate him to Qin Shi Huang, used to exchange a fief for the mastiff clan, but now it is the Han Dynasty, Li Qing does not have anyone in the court, even if Li Qing wants to dedicate the mineral deposit to the Han Emperor, I am afraid there is no way to see the Han Emperor, plus the Yellow Turban Rebellion will break out in more than ten years, when the time comes, the authority of the Han Dynasty will be lost, Li Qing does not want to use such a rich mine to exchange for a few years or more than ten years of peace.

Li Qing frowned and said to the old priest: "Elder Li, do you know how many bandits are here this time?" Also, how many people know about the gold mine here? ”

Li Lao is the name of the old mastiff priest, his surname is Li, there is no name, the tribe directly calls him a sacrifice, but the old priest does not want Li Qing to commensurate him with a sacrifice, so Li Qing has to call him Li Lao, of course, according to the actual age, Li Qing's age is much older than Li Lao, but because Li Qing has been sleeping for hundreds of years, his psychological age is dozens of years old, compared to the old sacrifice, Li Qing is younger.

The old priest shook his head and said: "We received a letter of persuasion from the bandits, which was signed as the Taishan Great Tiger King, and I heard that this Great Tiger King is the Taishan giant, called Dewey, and there are three or four thousand minions under his hands, if it is just them, our clan is not afraid, I am afraid that Taishan Song Lu also knows the news, that Song Lu, there are more than 40,000 thieves under his hands, and the government has no choice but to do it." ”

"Then destroy this one called Dewey first, and then make other plans."

Li Qing thought for a while and said, now that the enemy is about to arrive, there is no other way than to fight.

Originally, the old sacrifice was preparing to fight a decisive battle with the bandits in the ancestral land, after Li Qing heard the plan of the old sacrifice, he shook his head again and again, this mastiff clan is still as direct as ever, although with the combat power of the mastiff clan, it is indeed able to defeat three or four thousand bandits, but it is bound to lose a lot of people, the mastiff clan can be more than a thousand soldiers, and it is a loss to die one, so Li Qing immediately decided to redeploy.

Li Qing's words The old priest naturally had no objections, and the old priest also knew that he didn't understand the march and fight at all, so he handed over all the rights to Li Qing and let Li Qing arrange it.

Li Qing immediately arranged the deployment according to the characteristics of the mountains and forests, and the mastiff warriors took the orders in turn.

Dewey's men and horses had already arrived in the mountains and forests at this time, and they were still less than ten miles away from the ancestral land of the mastiff clan.

"Second brother, let the brothers rest for a while, and then we will kill the territory of those barbarians."

Dewey saw that everyone had been on the road for a day, and he was a little out of breath, so he asked everyone to stop and rectify temporarily, after all, the combat effectiveness of the mastiff clan was still very terrifying, and Dewey didn't want to capsize in the gutter.

"Alright, let's rest, big guy."

"I'm tired, let's do it for a while."

"Hey, Ergou, it's convenient to accompany me."

"Damn, it's convenient for you to bring Lao Tzu, it's really."

"Hahaha, be careful that the barbarians knock you out and carry them back to eat."

As soon as this group of bandits stopped, they began to make a fuss, for the bandits, the next battle was not dangerous, because they knew that there were few mastiffs, and in the face of so many of them, the mastiffs would definitely not dare to stop them.

"Ergou, what do you say about the mastiff girls?"

"What? Mastiff? Hahaha, grandson, you're okay with this. ”

The two thieves laughed while putting water in the water, not noticing that a pair of eyes were staring at them viciously not far from them.

"Woohoo"

Xing Feng was a twenty-five-year-old mastiff warrior, he looked at the bandit who was laughing uncontrollably, his eyes showed a hint of coldness, he took out a blow pipe, put it in his mouth, and then aimed at the two of them, blowing hard.

Two slender wooden needles shot at the two thieves, right in their faces.

"Ouch"

"Ah......h

The two of them were in pain and immediately let out a miserable scream.

Xingfeng proudly put away his blow pipe, roared at the two bandits, and turned to run towards the mountain forest.

The movements of the two bandits attracted the attention of the other bandits, and Ergou pointed to the direction where Xing Feng had just fled and said, "There is a barbarian, and the barbarian has attacked us." ”

"What a thief, he dared to sneak attack us, go, we chased after him and skinned him."

One or two hundred thieves didn't say a word, and chased after them in the direction pointed by the two dogs.

After Dewey learned the news, his face was a little ugly, and he scolded loudly: "Next time without my orders, you are not allowed to leave the team at will, whoever dares to act without permission, Lao Tzu will kill anyone, do you hear?" ”

"Got it, boss."

"The King, we know."

"Okay, let's go, I'll see what the hell the barbarian wants to do."

Dewey was worried that the bandits who chased him would be ambushed, so he hurriedly set off with his men and horses, and the bandits, who had not rested enough, could only get up and follow Dewey towards the depths of the mountains and forests.
