Lou Zaiying heard Zhang Shumo unashamedly say that he had learned the art of strategizing, and couldn't help but sneer: "You scholars are really more powerful than the other, the fourth grandfather just said casually, you are really embarrassed to say that you have learned the art of strategizing." ”

Zhang Shumo was not angry, and smiled: "Don't believe it, I have also learned the art of war!" ”

Lou Zaiying glanced at Zhang Shumo: "Just you?" Still learning the art of war? Your virtue faints at the sight of blood, what's the use of learning the art of war? ”

Lou Ang raised his eyebrows: "I said that you have the taste of a war book when you use strategies, it turns out that you have also learned the art of war, you are really a descendant!" ”

"Fourth grandfather, you still praise him, do you believe his words? Have you forgotten how stupid he was before? Lou Zaiying continued to tease Zhang Shumo.

Lou Cang said: "Zaiying, this is your mistake, just now you listened to his idea the most on the mountain, but now you say that he is stupid, so aren't you more stupid?" ”

"Why! Third grandfather, are you to me or to him? Lou Zaiying's face turned red instantly.

Lou Ang interrupted them: "Alright, it's time to get down to business. Zhang Shumo, I came here with your third grandfather to ask you what to do next? The mountain bandits have formed a blood feud with our Lou family, and we will never let them go! ”

"Yes, Zhang Shumo. I had already caught that bandit just now, why did you let me release him again? Lou Cang also asked in confusion.

Zhang Shumo sorted out his thoughts, and then said: "Don't worry, two grandfathers, I will definitely avenge this revenge, and I will let the entire cottage bury the dead Lou family's children!" ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Shumo looked around, and after making sure that no one was there, he continued: "I don't have a specific plan at the moment, and letting that person go is just an idea. This cottage is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and today because their people are also outside, we are not attacked. Once we attack openly, they rely on the mountain, even if there are still some rolling logs and rocks, we will have great losses. So I think if you want to end this nest of mountain bandits, you must lure them out; Or split them and break them individually. ”

"But what does this have to do with you releasing people?" Lou Cang continued to ask.

"Everyone has seen today's events, this mountain bandit is not impermeable, once his life is threatened, he will abandon his companions. So we can take advantage of the gap between them to sow discord. Zhang Shumo said.

When Lou Zaiying heard this, he asked, "Is it true that you said today that some of them have submitted to us?" ”

"Fake, Zhang Shumo has been with me all the time, how can he have the kung fu to persuade the mountain bandits? I guess you said that on purpose to make them suspicious, right? After Lou Ang wanted Lou Zaiying to explain, he turned to Zhang Shumo.

Zhang Shumo nodded: "The fourth grandfather is wise, and no one among them has rebelled. But if you make them suspicious of each other, you can make them collapse internally. The reason why the man was let go was to leave a handle for the bandits, so that the bandits would think that the man had surrendered to us. As long as they are torn apart by mutual suspicion, it is time for us to take revenge! ”

At the end of the chat, everyone had their own concerns, and after a tired day, they went to rest early.

In the early morning of the next day, Lou Zaiying led a group of people from his headquarters and a team of thieves Cao to return to Qinghua City. When they were disbanded, many soldiers took the initiative to say hello when they saw Zhang Shumo, which made Zhang Shumo a little unexpected. Later, Lou Zaiying explained to him, it turned out that under the command of Zhang Shumo last night, everyone did not give up any of the soldiers, and successfully rescued all the captured people, and many soldiers remembered Zhang Shumo's kindness.

After hearing the explanation, Zhang Shumo felt a little ashamed, after all, he didn't take everyone into account when he first thought about it.

Back at Lou's house, everyone saw that Master Lou was fine, and finally put their hearts in their stomachs. The fourth old man, Lou Ang, explained the situation last night to the second old man Lou Yi, and everyone discussed other matters.

At this time, the Lou family was pale, and people were immersed in sadness. Zhang Shumo came to Mrs. Qing's spirit, and remembered that Lou Hong and his wife were implicated by themselves and died, and his heart was not good. If you want to protect the Lou family, you must first make the Lou family strong, and when you avenge Mrs. Qing, you should really think about how to make the Lou family strong.

In Thanh Hoa City, many people already know about the bloody case that happened in Lou's house yesterday. Due to the fact that during the cricket fighting competition, many outsiders also began to discuss this case, and for a while, people's worries about the security problem in Thanh Hoa City were pushed to the peak.

After hearing the news, the county commander Zhang Jian urgently summoned the county lieutenant Yang Hua to the county office.

"Lord Yang, you have always been responsible for the security of the city, and now that such a thing has happened, it is a prison robbery and a murder, you make it difficult for me to do it!" Zhang Jian took a sip of tea after speaking.

Yang Hua hurriedly explained: "My lord, because of the competition yesterday, the troops were all withdrawn, and the mountain bandits took advantage of the situation, which is a special case. And yesterday, Lou Jun and Lou Zaiying respectively led their headquarters to chase down Baishan, exterminated nearly 50 mountain bandits, and have used actions to make the mountain bandits understand that our Qinghua City is not easy to provoke. ”

Zhang Jian waved his hand: "Don't say these useless, the people of the four cities in the county of the Fighting Cricket Contest are here this time, do you plan to let the people of the four cities see the jokes of the official?" I order you to immediately gather men and horses to exterminate the Baishan bandits before August 15, remember that what I want is to exterminate them, and not one will be left! ”

When he got home, Yang Hua couldn't help but curse twice, and muttered in his mouth: "It's light, are the mountain bandits stupid?" If he had brought a large army over, he would have scared people away, and he would have brought few people and couldn't catch them, so how easy would it be to exterminate the mountain bandits? ”

"Master, this is like this, who made the master angry again?" Mrs. Lin walked from outside the house with Yang Xue.

Yang Hua snorted coldly: "It's not for the sake of the mountain bandits, the county order is to exterminate the mountain bandits as soon as possible, so as not to make the people of the four cities laugh." But it's not easy to exterminate the mountain bandits! ”

When Yang Xue heard the mountain bandits, she hurriedly asked, "Is it the group of mountain bandits who killed the Lou family?" How is the Lou family now? I heard Yang Li say that the Lou family came to see you yesterday, what are they looking for you? ”

A series of questions made Yang Hua couldn't help but wonder: "Xue'er, I found that you have been very concerned about the affairs of the Lou family recently?" ”

Yang Xue was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly explained: "The Lou family contributed to their daughter's abduction before, and they are considered to be their daughter's benefactors, so of course their daughter is interested." Dad, just tell your daughter, maybe she can help. ”

Yang Hua didn't think much about it, and told Lou Zaiying about the situation reported to him: "Yesterday Lou Jun led people to chase the mountain bandits, but he was ambushed, and later when Lou Zaiying led people over, Lou Jun and some of the soldiers were captured by the mountain bandits, Lou Zaiying said that Zhang Shumo thought of a way to rescue the captured Lou Jun and the soldiers, but let's just listen to this, I don't believe it." Zhang Shumo was a fool a year ago, but this year he not only writes poetry, but now he also uses stratagem, I think the Lou family is deliberately touting him. ”
