Never expect a rabble of rogue bandits to be of any use, entrusting things to them is definitely more than enough to succeed!

About this, Xu Qingyan now has a deep understanding!

Liang Fuchen's team had already turned into soft-footed shrimp after an afternoon of diarrhea, and although this group of rogue bandits were stimulated by the silver to chase them wildly, they only knew how to run around, without any rules, and often blocked each other's roads, Xu Qingyan watched Liang Fuchen's team escape into the village fort!

Then, the village fort called "Dahuai Village" closed the hanging door before the horse bandits rushed into the village fort, blocking them out of the fort!

As mentioned above, the northwestern provinces have been repeatedly harassed and plundered by foreign bandits and horse bandits, so the villages in these places are all well-walled and heavily defended, and Dahuai Village in front of you is no exception!

Now, Liang Fuchen's team has fled into the village fort, and it will be difficult to capture him alive! This is by no means the same concept as a wild raid!

But the great opportunity for a surprise attack in the wild, the great situation that Xu Qingyan secretly created, was completely destroyed by this group of incompetent horse bandits!

Thinking of this, Xu Qingyan's eyes were full of disdain and dissatisfaction when he looked at Wang Laohu.

At this time, Wang Laohu, the leader of the horse bandits, had already returned to Xu Qingyan's side.

The rural people of this era are not weak and good-natured, especially the villagers in the northwest, and often encounter the raids of the Mongols, when they defend the village and unite with the outside world, the courage is not inferior to the ordinary horse bandits, and on weekdays, this group of horse bandits robs the people, but only robs the people outside the villages, or kidnaps and ransom, and directly attacks the village fort is very rare.

Looking at the high fortress and thick wall of Dahuai Village, Wang Laohu knew very well that it was difficult to break through with the strength of their gang of horse thieves, and he couldn't help but retreat in his heart.

So, Wang Laohu suggested to Xu Qingyan: "Jia Gongzi, they fled too fast, they actually hid in Dahuai Village, the villagers of Dahuai Village have always been brave, their village fortress wall is as high as more than zhang, once repelled the Mongol Tatars attacking the village, it is definitely a hard bone to gnaw, if we want to attack hard, I'm afraid it will only increase casualties!" If it really doesn't work, let's retreat first! ”

In front of Wang Laohu, Xu Qingyan naturally hid his true identity, he claimed to be surnamed "Jia", and when he first met, he was dressed as a son-in-law, and he was full of smugness when he raised his hands and feet, so Wang Laohu has always called Xu Qingyan "Jia Gongzi".

Xu Qingyan glanced at Wang Laohu out of the corner of his eye, but asked, "What?" Want to quit? Don't you want the 30,000 taels of silver? I can tell you, if you can't catch anyone, you don't even want to get a tael of silver! ”

Seeing Xu Qingyan's attitude, a trace of anger flashed in Wang Laohu's eyes, but thinking of Xu Qingyan's silver and background, he still endured his anger and persuaded him: "Master Jia, of course I want that silver, but if we attack the village fort directly, it will definitely take several days...... What's more, I managed to get together more than 200 people, all of them are my brothers, I can't let them die in vain! ……”

As he spoke, Wang Laohu looked righteous, as if his decision was entirely for the safety of his own horse bandits.

Hearing Wang Laohu's words, Xu Qingyan suddenly sneered, approached Wang Laohu and whispered: "Wouldn't it be better if it was heavily damaged?" Thirty thousand taels of silver may seem like a lot, but if two hundred people divide it together, you will get a maximum of ten thousand taels...... If half of your brothers had died, you might have received twenty thousand taels of silver, or more! ”

As Xu Qingyan's words fell, Wang Laohu's face suddenly changed.

Then, Wang Laohu, who was still the first in righteous anger just now, did not rush to refute the rebuke, but turned his head to look around with a vigilant face, and was secretly relieved to see that no one heard the conversation between him and Xu Qingyan.

Then, Wang Laohu also whispered: "But if it's late, it will change!" Once the officers and soldiers are attracted, what should be done? My brethren are no match for officers and soldiers! ”

Xu Qingyan looked unfathomable, and said indifferently: "Regarding the officers and soldiers, Leader Wang doesn't have to worry at all!" I assure you, even if the officers and soldiers in the vicinity find out about what is happening here, they will never interfere! At least, for three days, they'll pretend they didn't see what happened...... I've already secretly arranged these things! ”

Hearing Xu Qingyan's assurance, Wang Laohu couldn't help but be shocked!

At the same time, Wang Laohu was even more jealous of Xu Qingyan, and he didn't dare to offend even more!

Wang Laohu knows very well that the reason why his "Black Tiger Army" has been able to survive so far is entirely because the government has not taken care of them, and has never sent a large army to encircle and suppress them! But now that Xu Qingyan can let the nearby officers and soldiers pretend not to see them besieging Dahuai Village, he will definitely be able to remind the officers and soldiers of their duty to suppress bandits in the future!

And just as Wang Laohu was thinking about it, Xu Qingyan sneered and said, "Also, you made a mistake!" The person I want you to capture alive is very powerful in the officialdom, and if you capture him alive, I will also help you cover up the matter, eliminate the evidence, and reduce the impact, but if you let him go...... Do you think he will retaliate with all his might in the future? Therefore, the current situation is that only by catching him as soon as possible can you escape the round-up of the officers and soldiers, otherwise, if you stop here, you will attract the officers and soldiers to chase him in the future! Also, we can have an advantage today, completely because the guards in the team are all diarrhea and have become soft-footed shrimps, and they don't have any power to fight back, but in fact, they are not easy people, if they let them soothe their bodies, it will be us who will be hunted down! Therefore, now there is only one way to go, and there is no way to delay or retreat! …… You should definitely think about this! ”

Xu Qingyan was tempting, coercing, and reasonable, and finally made Wang Laohu completely determined!

So, Wang Laohu nodded fiercely, gritted his teeth and said, "I understand!" I'll lead my brothers to attack the village! ”

After speaking, Wang Laohu drove forward and shouted: "Brothers! Conquer this village with me! If you break through the village fort before tonight, not only will you be allowed to plunder, but all the silver will be raised this time! ”

Originally, after the horse bandits chased all the way, now they were exhausted, and most of them had retreated, but when they heard the benefits promised by Wang Laohu, they were all in high spirits, and everyone raised their weapons and shouted loudly.

Then, under the command of Wang Laohu, the horse bandits began to attack the village fort, and they swarmed up.

Then, the villagers in the fort also began to fight back, either shooting arrows or throwing stones.

In the end, it was just a stick of incense, and the horse bandits were defeated!

The villagers of Dahuai Village are not professional soldiers, and there is no way to fight back, but the will of the horse bandits is even weaker, but a few arrows hit them, causing one person to be injured, and the horse bandits turned around and fled back in a hurry!

The whole process is child's play!

Xu Qingyan is completely unfamiliar with the art of war and military strategy, but after seeing this scene, he is still stunned and can't bear to look at it directly!

Then, Xu Qingyan became more and more sure of one thing, that is, if he wanted to capture Liang Fuchen alive, he must not rely on this group of rabble horse bandits, after all, he still had to rely on himself to find a way!

So, Xu Qingyan's brain turned sharply, secretly thinking about countermeasures.

In the eyes of the vast majority of people, Xu Qingyan is a person who does not learn and has no skills, and he has no ability, and he can be cited by Zhao Junchen as a confidant, completely because his father Xu Lao Master is kind to Zhao Junchen!

But in fact, the vast majority of people ignore the merits of Xu Qingyan - he is an out-and-out despicable villain!

Many times, villains are always more nourishing than gentlemen, and this is not without reason! Villains are always unscrupulous, have no bottom line, and are never afraid to think about problems with the most despicable ideas!

And these are Xu Qingyan's biggest advantages!

Many times, even Zhao Junchen will listen to Xu Qingyan's opinions, because there are too many villains in the officialdom, and some of Xu Qingyan's ideas are often representative!

Not to mention that Xu Qingyan has always been by Zhao Junchen's side, and under Zhao Junchen's words and deeds, he has indeed learned some skills!

At this time, Wang Laohu was furious at the horse bandits, reprimanding them for being cowardly and incompetent.

However, reprimanding is reprimand, Wang Laohu did not mean to personally lead people to attack.

And at this moment, Xu Qingyan rode his horse to Wang Laohu's side and said, "Leader Wang, it's not a way to go on like this!" Things must not be delayed any longer! I've thought about it, the villagers of Dahuai Village must not want to offend you! You send people to search the fields around the village, now it is autumn planting, Dahuai Village saw us and urgently closed the hanging door, there must be many villagers left outside, you can catch them and threaten Dahuai Village! ”

Speaking of this, Xu Qingyan's face was cold, and he said: "Then, you send someone to negotiate again, and let them hand over the person!" If they don't want to, kill the villagers who don't have time to enter the village! If they don't want to, sprinkle salt into the fields so that they don't have a good harvest in the future! If they don't want to, they collect wood and set fire to the village! ”

After hearing Xu Qingyan's attention, Wang Laohu was suddenly dumbfounded.

Wang Laohu didn't expect that the "Jia Gongzi" in front of him was even more ruthless than him, a horse thief, when doing things!

However, Wang Laohu thought about it and thought that Xu Qingyan's idea was indeed effective, so he hurriedly sent someone to arrange it!

*

And at the same time that the horse bandits began to act, in Dahuai Village at this time, the elder Liang Fuchen was not a person waiting to be killed, and he also made a move!
