Fish Mountain Salt Pond.

After Liu Juntao said goodbye to Guo Yongzhong, Zhang Baigui and Guo Muying, he led the main force of the Yushan Escort all the way south, marching at great speed, and it didn't take long for everyone to arrive at the Yushan Salt Pond.

Liu Juntao looked at the sky, decided to take a short rest in the Yushan Salt Pond, spent the night here, and then prepared to enter the reeds of Dongping Lake, and the whole army entered the reeds and marched at full speed in order to cover the whereabouts of the brigade and prevent the Liu family from getting the news in advance.

This time in the south, in order to further increase the chances of winning Yushanji, Liu Juntao fought for a hit and completely defeated the Liu family, and specially mobilized Zhang Xiaojun, Gao Ran, and Chen Ziping, leaving only a total of people from Yan Hu's department stationed in Yushanji, Yushan Yanchi, and Huakou Town.

There are more than 1,000 young men and horses in the three total people and horses going south, plus the accompanying 15 carts of grain and grass, and the team going south can be described as vast and spectacular.

The Yushan Guards were already well organized, and with a large number of people, it looked very terrifying from a distance. The strict marching troops marched on the official road, like elite officers and soldiers, so that people who didn't know saw it, and thought that the elite battalion soldiers were being mobilized somewhere.

As for the six war horses seized from the Wang family, they were left in Yushanji, and Liu Juntao had no intention of bringing them, after all, there are no talents who are good at riding in the Yushanji guard now, and there are not even young people in the team who are proficient in horsemanship, even if they bring these six war horses, it is useless, it is better to raise them for the time being.

At ten o'clock in the morning, after a night's rest, more than 1,000 escorts regained their strength, and with Liu Juntao's order, they all drove out of the Yushan Salt Pond in turn according to the system, and assembled in the open space outside, ready to set off.

When did the more than 200 stove households in the Yushan salt pond see such a spectacular army assembled, at this time, seeing that the Yushan collection guard was about to be pulled out, they didn't even care about breakfast, and they all rushed to the gate of the Yushan salt pond to watch, and even many people ran to the wall to watch, and they all stretched their necks to see how powerful the famous Yushan collection guard was.

Seeing this, Liu Juntao was not in a hurry to start immediately, but deliberately asked more than 1,000 guards to assemble in the open space and show off in front of the more than 200 stove households, so that these stove households could be completely at ease.

This is a great opportunity to win hearts and minds!

After all, when the news of Liu Juntao's decision to go south to attack the Liu family came, the more than 200 stove households in Yushan Yanchi were panicked, and some people even asserted that Liu Juntao was sending him to death when he went south this time, and Yushanji was by no means the opponent of the Liu family in Anshan Town.

However, when Liu Juntao led a large group of people to Yushan Salt Pond to rest and station, such an assertion disappeared in an instant.

Who can resist such an army of 1,000 people? This trip to the south will definitely be a success!

It can be seen that no matter how appalling the rumors are, they can't resist the toughness of seeing is believing! A strong person is to speak with facts!

"With so many people going south together, isn't the Liu family in Anshan Town going to the end?"

"Of course! I've heard that not long ago, the Liu family in Ansan Town had already fought with other heroes in the south and lost a battle! I heard that there were heavy casualties! ”

"Who did you listen to? But really? There is such a thing! ”

"Of course! I came back from buying rice in Huakou Town the day before yesterday, and I heard it in Huakou Town, and such news has spread all over Huakou Town, which is absolutely true! How can there be a fake! ”

"So we're going to win this time?"

"The Liu family in Anshan Town has been crippled, and our Yushan set will definitely win! With an army of more than 1,000 people, how could the Liu family be an opponent? ”

In the blink of an eye, the news spread among the crowd. More than 200 households and thousands of people who were watching were talking and buzzing, and no one was worried about the victory or defeat of this battle, and in the eyes of everyone, this battle was already clear!

Liu Juntao naturally listened to these discussions in his ears and was happy in his heart, which was exactly the result he wanted, and his simple actions made the originally shaken hearts of people instantly coalesce.

This is the power of public opinion!

Looking up at the sun, seeing that the time was almost up, Liu Juntao waved his hand and ordered everyone to set off immediately.

"All of them! Advance! ”

Zhang Xiaojun, Chen Ziping, and Gao Ran roared in unison, and then the general sentinels, captains, and captains shouted in unison, conveying the order to set off, and more than 1,000 young men divided into three huge phalanxes of hundreds of people, and protected the fifteen carts in the middle.

"Get out!"

"Wan Sheng! Wansheng! Wansheng! ”

More than 1,000 people from the Yushan Guards roared in unison, and the sound shook the four fields!

Such a scene made the more than 200 stove households enthusiastic, and they couldn't stop applauding and cheering.

Almost all the stove households have forgotten that they have just joined the side of the Yushan set, and they can't help but put themselves in the camp of the fish mountain set, cheering from the bottom of their hearts, as if they have seen the victory.

Half a day later, Liu Juntao led the crowd to walk along the east bank of Dongping Lake for a long time, and finally arrived at the south bank of Dongping Lake.

It is located in the northeast of Ansan Lake, less than 30 miles from the town of Ansan to the south!

Liu Juntao looked at the surrounding terrain and saw that the south bank of Dongping Lake was flat, and the reeds here were relatively sparse, and the grand situation in the north was no longer there.

However, a little further south, the trees along the road gradually increase, forming large and small forests, among which you can vaguely see some families living in them.

"Big brother, we can't continue to go south, there are people in the south, and if we go any further, the whereabouts of the brigade will be exposed."

Zhang Xiaojun said with some concern.

Liu Juntao also nodded, pointed to the east and said: "The reeds and trees over there can be hidden, and it is close to the shore of Dongping Lake to facilitate water, let's camp there for the time being, and then make plans when we find out the situation in Ansan Town." ”

Zhang Xiaojun nodded in agreement, and Chen Ziping and Gao Ran next to him naturally had no opinion, both of them were looking forward to Liu Juntao.

So, they led the crowd to the east and camped in the open air by the lake, covering their whereabouts by the reeds by the lake.

After settling down, Liu Juntao found Chen Ziping and asked him to take a few reliable young men to the south, and first go to Ansan Town to check and find out the news for the team.

Chen Ziping clenched his fists and said: "Don't worry, big brother, I will set off immediately with my brothers, and my eldest brother is waiting for my good news!" ”

After speaking, Chen Ziping ordered five clever subordinates to set off.

Ansan Town is located on the east bank of Ansan Lake, close to Anmin Mountain, because it is adjacent to Liangshan, so since ancient times, the folk style is fierce, the villagers are still martial, the government has always had a headache here, and they are too lazy to take care of it on weekdays.

Thirty or forty miles southeast of Ansan Town is Dongpingzhou, and the town is on the east bank of the Grand Canal, which is far superior to Huakou Town in terms of transportation, and the goods passing can be described as astronomical.

But what makes people feel strange is that Ansan Town has not become a prosperous place of commerce and trade like the town of Huakou, but like a small city, a strong wall has been built to block the flow of people around it, like a "prison" wrapped in copper walls.

Although there are also theaters, drum towers, shops, etc. in Ansan Town, but not many people stop, and the pedestrians who pass through Ansan Town rarely stay in the town to stay, and most of them stay for a while, and then leave in a hurry, just taking Ansan Town as a place to rest.

The reason for this situation is because the Liu family is entrenched in Anshan Town, and even the high walls of Anshan Town are funded by the Liu family, and the men and horses guarding the four gates are not the official family's errands, but the Liu family's people, as if Liu Zi'an, the head of the Liu family, has regarded Anshan Town as his own house!

As for the people and villagers who originally lived in Anshan Town, they had already moved away, or they were forced to move away, leaving only the young and strong families of the Liu family still living in the town.

At this time, it was getting late, Chen Ziping took five young men to the north of Ansan Town, and several people disguised themselves as passing merchants and blended into Ansan Town.

A few people walked around the town, only to see that there were not many people in the town, and the pedestrians passing by were in a hurry, and from time to time there were young people wearing Liu's uniforms passing by in groups.

Chen Ziping secretly counted it, and several people walked from the north of Ansan Town to the south, and met a total of four teams of young people from the Liu family, with about a dozen people.

"It's not a loss to the Liu family in Ansan Town! These people patrolling around, plus the people and horses guarding all over the town, there are really a lot of people left in the Liu family, after this defeat, the Liu family still has such strength, it seems that the eldest brother is still a little light! ”

Chen Ziping was secretly surprised in his heart, but his eyes were still looking around, and suddenly he saw an inn in front of him, so he was ready to take five of his men to go in and stay overnight, thinking that he would go around again at night to investigate in detail.

As soon as he entered the door, Chen Ziping shouted loudly: "Shop, two Chase Bunk guest rooms!" ”

A shopkeeper ran over with a smile and said, "Is the guest officer going to stay in Ansan Town?" ”

Chen Ziping nodded and said, "Yes!" By the way, get some more food. ”

"Okay!"

The shopkeeper led Chen Ziping and his entourage to the second floor with a smile, arranged everyone in two adjacent guest rooms, and closed the door to prepare the meal.

However, what Chen Ziping didn't pay attention to was that when everyone entered the inn, the two young men of the Liu family flashed at the door of the inn, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

That night, Chen Ziping, who had already eaten and drunk, regained his strength one after another, and went downstairs together to prepare to go out for a walk.

"How many guests are going out at this time?"

The shopkeeper ran over with a smile.

"I'll wait to go out and take a look at the night view of Ansan Town, and I'll be back soon."

Chen Ziping said as he walked out with five of his subordinates. Then, when several people came to the street corner, they dispersed in pairs.

Chen Ziping walked to the vicinity of the drum tower with a young man, only to see that Ansan Town at night was sparsely populated, and there were almost no pedestrians, like an empty city, which made people feel cold.

"Mr. Boss, why is this so depressed? Such a big town, not only is it not as good as Slip Town, but even our Yushan Market is not as good! ”

The young man muttered in a low voice, Chen Ziping was also strange in his heart, and was about to say something, when he suddenly heard a burst of footsteps in front of him, obviously a large group of people passing in front!

Chen Ziping hurriedly hid with the young man in a dark place on the corner of the street, secretly observing the front.

I saw that a team of at least 400 people ran out of the street south of the drum tower, and drove straight towards the north gate of Ansan Town in a neat procession.

"Good fellows! There are so many people in the Liu family! It's so late, where are these centaurs going? ”

Chen Ziping was suddenly shocked in his heart, and said secretly: "It's broken!" They went to the north, did they notice our whereabouts? ”

Thinking of this, Chen Ziping didn't care about investigating the situation anymore, and immediately said to the young man: "Go find others immediately and tell them that the Liu family's brigade is heading towards our camp, and let everyone immediately find a way to go out separately to report the news!" ”

"Good! Adults go first, be careful! ”

Chen Ziping nodded and said, "Now the Liu family must be strictly guarded, tell the brothers, be more careful, we only need one person to rush out to report the news!" ”

After saying that, the two said goodbye to each other.

The young man turned around and rushed towards the center of the town, while Chen Ziping also rushed into the night quickly, and soon disappeared.
