Park Tianhao sat down to drink water, and when he put down the tea bowl, he saw the map on the table, and asked casually, "Hasn't the lord found the whereabouts of the horse thief?" ”

Jiang Anyi smiled bitterly: "The horse thieves are wandering uncertainly, and dozens of scouts are sent every day but they have not found their whereabouts, and if I can't find their whereabouts in two days, I am ready to expand the search circle further." ”

The tent was lifted again, Jiang Anyong crashed in, picked up the teapot on the table and poured it on his back, Jiang Anyi frowned and said unhappily: "This is a big camp, if it is seen by outsiders, what kind of system." ”

Putting the teapot back on the table, Jiang Anyong first greeted Park Tianhao and said, "Brother Park is not an outsider. Brother, these horse thieves are really thieves, I have searched all the places where people can hide within a radius of 100 miles, but I didn't see a group of horse thieves, it seems that I have to look farther away. ”

Park Tianhao used to be a businessman, walking around the Gobi all the year round, and said: "I know where to find horse thieves, but it's just ......."

"Brother Park, say it quickly." Jiang Anyong was impatient.

Park Tianhao stood up, pointed to the red dots marked on the map, and said, "There must be horse thieves hiding in these supply points." ”

There are seven or eight red dots on the map, scattered scattered on the Gobi Desert, which are the supply points for the Western Regions and Zheng Guo's business travel, and Jiang Anyi once passed by several of them, such as Xiaozhen. These supply points are a must-pass place for business travelers, and they are also the favorite haunts of horse thieves, where they can earn a hundred times the profit, or they can die on the street at any time, where they can buy all kinds of goods, treasures, beauties and even ordnance, you must know that two of Jiang Anyi's three treasures are obtained in Xiaozhen.

Those horse thieves include bandits who kill people and steal goods, soldiers of various countries who flee or break up, merchants and guards who lose their goods and take risks, killers who take money for their lives, and spies from various countries. Horse thieves have robbed goods to have a place to sell the stolen goods, and these supply market towns provide such a place, take the town of owls, half of the shops are operated by horse thieves, and some powerful horse thieves even do the health care, but the asking price is too high, and the reputation is too low.

The nearest market town to the station is 130 miles away, and the name on the map is Hongliuhe Town, which, as the name suggests, has a river running through it. In the Gobi, where there is water, there is life, whether it is a horse thief or a merchant traveler, it is necessary to replenish water, and market towns are naturally formed.

"Lord, there must be horse thieves in the market town, but the rule formed for thousands of years is that no merchants are to loot within ten miles of the market town, and the armies of various countries do not do anything to the market town, once the rules are broken, those horse thieves will unite to deal with those who break the rules." Park Tianhao said with some concern.

Jiang Anyong smiled nonchalantly: "That's better, we can get rid of these horse thieves at once." ”

Jiang Anyi thought for a while and said, "You can't be punished without teaching." I will write an article as an envoy of Huazhou, saying that the horse thieves killed people and oversold goods, disrupted business travel, and committed a heinous crime, so they went to the Huazhou government to confess their crimes. ”

Jiang Anyong sneered: "Brother, are you stupid, the horse thief will listen to the orders of our government?" ”

Jiang Anyi sneered: "What's the hurry, there is the following, if the horse thief does not obey the order to confess, then the army will be cleared, and those who harbor the horse thief will be guilty of the same crime." ”

"Wonderful, so that the teacher is famous. Tomorrow send scouts to send the text to those supply points. Park Tianhao smiled.

"No, let the detective bring the document and hand it to the traveling merchants, let them teleport for them, and show our determination to protect the merchants through the mouths of the merchants."

…………

In Hongliuhe Town, a street passes through the town, and the houses on both sides are disorganized, mostly wooden and stone buildings, and the two-storey Guangju Restaurant stands out among these buildings. The boss of Guangjulou Mana Tower is a native of Zaichang, 12 years ago he violated military discipline and fled to the Gobi with more than 20 subordinates to become a horse thief, relying on a good martial arts in the Gobi Desert gradually growing, now there are more than 300 people under his hands, more than 500 horses, is the Gobi Desert barely ranked up, because the wind is like the wind is called "a gust of wind".

At that time, there was no business in the restaurant, and Mana Ta sat at the table next to the window, drinking slowly, casually observing the caravans passing in and out of the street. These caravans were all fat sheep in his eyes, and half a month ago he led his team to loot a caravan from Gulu Kingdom, and obtained enough money to support this winter.

Looking at the street with a gloomy gaze, Mana thought silently, he was the general of Zaichangguo, and he fled to the Gobi when he was actually ordered by the second minister to come to gain a foothold, and to find out the intelligence of Zheng Guo and the countries of the Eastern and Western Regions for Zaichangguo. Twelve years have passed, the second minister has stepped down, the agreement of the year has become a dead letter, he once sent someone back to contact the successor of the second minister, but the second minister did not want to answer the political opponents of the year at all, Zai Changguo has forgotten him.

Drinking all the wine in the cup, the face of the mana tower showed bitterness, homeless, left to fend for himself, this is okay, the sky and the earth have a knife in his hand with me, and from now on I will see the caravan of Zaichangguo according to the robbery.

Hurried footsteps sounded on the wooden stairs, and a man in gray came over with a piece of paper, shouted "big brother", and handed him the paper in his hand. The man in gray was his brother Redogan, who had come out of Jaechang with him, and the tower motioned for him to sit down and drink a few glasses with him.

Mana Ta knew Zheng Wen, so he was sent to the Gobi as a sentry detective, this piece of paper is the announcement of Zheng Guohua Prefecture's Jingluo Mansion, so that the horse thief can go to Zheng Guo's official mansion to confess his guilt, otherwise send troops to clean up, and the end of the announcement is stamped with the big seal of the Zhengzhou Economic Strategy. Mana sneered, crumpled the announcement into a ball, threw it on the ground, picked up the wine bowl on the table and touched it with Redogan, and drank it all on his back.

Lei Dogan grabbed a leg of mutton and bit it, and said vaguely: "Big brother, this piece of paper was given to me by the bald man at the end of the street, he seems to be frightened, let me ask the eldest brother if you want to avoid it." ”

The news that Zheng Guo's three thousand light horsemen were stationed a hundred miles away to search for horse thieves has long been known to everyone, and the horse thieves close to Zheng Jun's garrison have already escaped a hundred miles away, and there are seven or eight groups of horse thieves who came to take refuge in Hongliuhe Town, which has made the business of Hongliuhe Town prosperous, and the girls in Cuihonglou are tired and sick for several times.

"A coward like a mouse, he has lived in vain until now." The mana tower urn sneered angrily: "Zheng Ren was so scared that he wanted to run for his life with a blank note, so it was better to go home early and hug the baby." ”

Lei Duoan threw away the bones in his hand, wiped the clothes on his body casually, took a sip of the wine bowl, and said: "Big brother, it's better to be careful, Zheng Ren just drove away the coalition army, and his spirit is high. ”

Faletta thought for a moment and said, "Go and invite all the heads of the town, and say that I will invite them to eat and drink." ”

…………

At noon, on the second floor of the Guangju Building, more than a dozen men chewed according to the case, threw their bones to the ground, and a stack of wine jars leaned against the corner.

Below, a bald man looked at the mana tower sitting in the center, and said with a smile: "Zheng Jun is coming." Pharaoh, you are the well-deserved boss of this piece, what do you say everyone? ”

There was a tall thin man sitting next to the bald head, and he snorted coldly: "I'm afraid of an egg, Zheng Jun can kill if he dares to come, and run away if he can't kill it." A scar on the thin man's face slanted from the center of his eyebrows to the side of his cheeks, and his eyes bulged out when he spoke, making him look more and more fierce.

"Brado, you're a single, run away, we have an industry in Hongliuhe, and if you can run, a monk can't run the temple, you have to think of a way to deal with it." A sturdy man with a beard like a steel brush.

"Yes, if Zheng Jun comes to Hongliuhe Town under the pretext of coming to Hongliuhe Town, the foundation we have worked so hard to create will be ruined."

"Lao Tzu just entered the batch of goods, and it was still in the cellar of the store, what should I do if people run away?"

"Since ancient times, there have been rules that prohibit invading market towns, and unless Zheng Jun doesn't want to live in the Gobi, he will never dare to attack market towns."

"What are you afraid of, didn't the first two Zheng Jun arrest people on the Gobi, except for Mazi and Huyan, who were unlucky enough to be bumped into when they were doing their work, aren't the others fine, it's going to snow soon, I estimate that Zheng Jun won't stay for a few days."

Talking and talking, Mana slammed his fist on the table, and everyone fell silent and listened to what he said.

"According to the whistle at Jingmen Pass, this expedition is 3,000 light horsemen, and the baggage of the exit is enough for this group to stay for a month, let's be horse thieves and tie our lives to the belt of our trousers, it's better to be careful." Snakes have snake paths, horse thieves have ears and eyes stationed in the three levels, and there are more than 300 people under the Mana Tower, close to the Zheng Guo checkpoint to beg for a living, of course, pay attention to Zheng Jun's movements.

Brado said with a gloomy face: "Everyone gathered the brothers, there are also thousands of people, if Zheng Jun dares to come to fight, he will fight if he wins, and he will copy their baggage easily, and if he can't win, he will run, and everyone will take care of everyone." As for the things, if you can take them away, you can take them away, and if you can't take them away, you can't burn them, anyway, Zheng Jun can't stay on the Gobi for a long time, and we'll come back when they leave. ”

Half of the people at the table nodded in agreement. Seeing that everyone was not in agreement, Mana couldn't discuss anything, and said: "During this time, everyone should be careful, don't do business nearby, and send some people to Zheng Jun's station to inquire about the news. In addition, the things at home can be transported away first, and those who can be hidden are hidden, Brado is right, Zheng Jun can't stay in the Gobi for a long time, and we will come back when they leave. ”

Steelbeard Han Kaileke said dissatisfiedly: "We have been fighting all year round, compared to the light cavalry of any country, it is not weak, Zheng Guo's light cavalry is even weaker, and my sons and daughters are ten of them." If you don't even fight, you will be scared away by Zheng Jun, spread it, our brothers in Hongliuhe Town don't have the face to go out to meet people, and when the time comes, the people in Xiaozhen and Eagle's Beak Village may take the opportunity to bully them, Pharaoh, you have to get an idea, you want to fight, and more than 100 people under my Kelek are willing to listen to your orders. ”

"Dozens of my men also listen to the Pharaoh's command", "Me too", several voices of approval sounded.

Lei Doan gently tugged at the corner of Mana Tower's pants under the table, Mana Tower realized, if he could take the opportunity to cage these people under his command, then he would be on a par with the Wasp Thieves, Black Smoke, and Mobei Eagle, and become the uncrowned king of the Thousand Miles Gobi, which was a hundred times better than being a general under the control of people in Zaichang Kingdom.

With both hands on the table, the Mana Tower stood up, glanced at everyone, and said with a majestic expression: "Since everyone can afford my Mana Tower, I will fight Zheng Jun with everyone." ”

The most powerful gust of wind said that it would be fought, and those who wanted to leave were no longer silent, after all, they would have to make a living here in the future, and if they left, they would not be able to come back. Manata was very satisfied with everyone's reaction, smiled and raised the wine bowl and said: "After drinking this bowl of wine, everyone will be brothers who live and die together, and they will share blessings and misfortunes in the future." ”

Kelek took the lead in getting up and raising his bowl to respond, those who wanted to fight got up one after another, and the bald head and others had to stand up with him, and everyone drank it all, which was considered an alliance. Then the Mana Tower distributed its men without giving up, and asked everyone to gather people, who went to inquire for information, who went to transfer materials, who went to build fortifications, and Mana Tower was a general, and the command was the first way, and everyone was ordered to disperse.
