Orthodox nine years, early October.

In the past half a month, Zhang Xiaojun and Yan Hu have successively received orders from Liu Juntao, both of whom have shrunk the young and strong of their subordinates and made every effort to defend Anshan Town and Yushan Yanchi.

Especially for the traders in Anshan Town, as well as the illegal salt team from the south to the north of Yushan Salt Pond, Zhang Xiaojun and Yan Hu even sent some people to escort them along the way, and temporarily detained some goods that were not in a hurry to be transported away, in case they were exploited by the Chen family's horse team.

At the same time, the Military Bureau presided over by Zhang Baigui and the quilt factory presided over by Guo Muying also started work in full force, doing their best to make the military equipment and uniforms needed by the escort team.

After half a month of hard work, Guo Yongzhong not only settled thousands of villagers, but also re-recruited 2,000 young people, all of whom were sent to the camp of the Yushan Guard, and Gao Ran organized people to conduct emergency drills.

Just when all parties in Yushanji were working hard to prepare for the war, Zhou Zongsheng also took office, leading his 500 horse team to attack everywhere, and constantly encountered the Chen family horse team between Yushanji, Zhang Qiuzhen, and Anshan Town.

Although the Chen family horse team has long been famous, after all, it is fighting on the territory of Yushanji, and Zhou Zongsheng does have a set of riding formations, so that the Chen family horse team has never taken advantage, but has lost a lot of manpower.

Within a few days, the Chen family's horse team gradually retreated, according to the news from Liu Zi'an, these horse teams seemed to have withdrawn in the direction of Zhang Qiuzhen, as for whether they had withdrawn to Henan, with the current strength of Liu Zi'an's men, it could not be investigated.

After receiving this news, Liu Juntao was overjoyed and immediately ordered Liu Zi'an to go south to Ningyang County and personally take people to investigate the movements of the Kong family.

After Liu Zi'an received the order, he immediately mobilized several subordinates, these people can be said to be the best of Liu Zi'an's development of intelligence personnel, and most of the rest are in the west to investigate the news of the Chen family.

After Liu Zi'an waited until the manpower arrived, he immediately led people south to Ningyang County.

At the same time, Liu Juntao was not idle, and had already sent someone to send news to Hu Dexing a few days ago, asking him to rush to Yushanji as soon as possible to discuss something.

Only one day later, Hu Dexing took Sun Xu and Meng Fanchen to Yushanji, and the three of them traveled day and night in order to hurry, shortening the journey of more than two days to one day!

As soon as they met, Hu Dexing asked very seriously: "Jun Tao, have you made up your mind to work with the Chen family?" ”

Liu Juntao looked at Hu Dexing with a solemn expression, then looked at Sun Xu and Meng Fanchen, who were fully armed behind him, nodded, and said: "The Chen family has now come to the door, and I can only have a chance of life if I fight to the death!" ”

Hu Dexing suddenly laughed when he heard this, and said: "At the beginning of the town, the three of us brothers fell a lot of benefits, and then the same is true for the Wang family, and the three of us are also combined, this time to fight the Chen family, you Liu Juntao will give us the three of us many times more benefits than before!" ”

Liu Juntao also laughed out loud and said, "Then you don't need to say!" ”

Now that Liu Juntao and Hu Dexing have made their words clear, Hu Dexing, Sun Xu, and Meng Fanchen simply sat down and discussed with Liu Juntao how to deal with the Chen family together.

"Juntao, how are you going to deal with it?"

Liu Juntao said in a deep voice: "This is for Brother Hu's help!" ”

"Say!"

Hu Dexing said: "As long as the three of us brothers can do it, you can say a word, go up the knife mountain and get off the oil pot, we will never say anything!" ”

"Haha!"

Liu Juntao couldn't help but feel good when he saw this, knowing that Hu Dexing and the three of them were determined to stand with him, and he had an extra reinforcement!

So, Liu Juntao said: "To deal with the Chen family, I am ready to attack in two ways!" ”

"How do you strike in two ways? Isn't this all our men scattered? ”

Sun Xu asked suspiciously, and Meng Fanchen next to him obviously had the same worries.

And Hu Dexing asked: "If you take the initiative to pull people out, it's okay to say that there are officers and troops stationed in Slip Town, after all, there are officers and troops stationed, but what about Yushanji?" Are Ansan Town and Yushan Salt Pond still guarded? ”

Liu Juntao said with a smile: "These are not problems! ”

"What's the explanation?"

"Of course, Yushanji, Anshan Town, and Yushan Yanchi must be defended, so Zhang Xiao's military headquarters guarding Anshan Town, Yan Hu's troops guarding Yushan Yanchi, and Gao Ran's troops guarding Yushanji will not participate in the attack. This time, the only people in my plan to take the initiative to attack are Chen Ziping and the newly formed team of 500 horses! ”

"What!"

Hu Dexing, Meng Fanchen, and Sun Xu were all taken aback when they heard this, in the face of the thousands of men and horses of the Chen family, as well as hundreds of horse teams and archers, Liu Juntao actually only led Chen Ziping and five hundred horse teams to attack?

Hu Dexing, who is familiar with the establishment of the Yushan Guard, knows very well that the attack troops mobilized by Liu Juntao this time are only more than 1,000 people!

Hu Dexing, Meng Fanchen, and Sun Xu immediately objected, and Hu Dexing even said: "Jun Tao, don't underestimate the enemy!" The Chen family is not like the Wang family and the Liu family, this is a real big worm! ”

Sun Xu also persuaded: "Jun Tao, you only mobilized more than a thousand people, and you have to divide your troops into two ways to attack, which is too dangerous!" ”

Meng Fanchen even said: "I think we should put defense first in this battle, wait for the Chen family to fight, and then we will find an opportunity to fight again!" ”

Liu Juntao smiled and signaled everyone to be calm, and then said: "My more than 1,000 people are just one of the two ways of attacking, and I want to kill the Chen family's hometown, Tangyin County!" So there will be no division of troops. ”

After hearing this, Hu Dexing and the three looked at each other, and suddenly became a little stupid.

"Where's the men and horses attacking from the other side?"

Liu Juntao played a dumb riddle quite mysteriously, picked up the tea and drank it.

Over there, Hu Dexing, Meng Fanchen, and Sun Xu were already in a hurry, and they asked one after another, asking Liu Juntao to explain it quickly.

Liu Juntao said with a smile: "During the Chinese New Year, didn't we go to Dong'e County?" ”

"That's right! Do you want Dong'e County to send troops to help us fight the Chen family? ”

Hu Dexing asked in surprise.

"Why not?"

Liu Juntao said: "Brother Hu, do you remember the hundred households in Dong'e County that we met that time? A hundred households in the Dong'e County Guard Office can get a few blacksmiths from the ordnance office for silver, so what about the thousands of households in the Dong'e County Thousand Households? ”

Hu Dexing frowned and asked, "Then in what name do we say that we will mobilize the Thousand Households to send troops?" ”

"Humph! The Chen family kills people like hemp around Yushanji, isn't this a reason? ”

Hu Dexing shook his head and said, "At least this reason is not too convincing for Lord Qianhu!" ”

"Then I'll give Senhe-sama a convincing reason!"

Liu Juntao said: "The Chen family has a strong bow and hundreds of war horses, intending to gather people to rebel, and Yushan gathers righteous people to invite thousands of households to send troops to quell the chaos!" Moreover, after the matter is completed, the wealth of the Chen family is left to the thousands of households to take their own rewards! ”

"This!"

At this moment, Hu Dexing, Meng Fanchen, and Sun Xu were all stunned, this reason was indeed tempting, not only gave the Qianhu adults an excuse to get their military exploits, but also gave the Qianhu adults a great opportunity to make a fortune!

It's just that the Chen family's money and property have been taken away by thousands of households, and Yushanji and Hu Dexing are busy fighting life and death, what is this for?

Liu Juntao looked at Hu Dexing and the three of them in surprise, and said with a smile: "I know what you are worried about!" This is also the reason why I want to divide my troops into two ways, I will lead people to raid the Chen family's nest, and the thousands of households will attack Zhang Qiuzhen and destroy the Chen family's horse team! At that time, how much wealth the Chen family has, isn't it up to us to decide? ”

In the afternoon of the same day, Liu Juntao gathered 21 personal guards, accompanied by Hu Dexing, Meng Fanchen, and Sun Xu, and rushed towards Dong'e County.
