Xiao Chumo stood not far away, watching Wei Tingyan command the hundred elite soldiers he had allocated to him. Although there are inevitably some loopholes in the plan, it can be regarded as being carried out in an orderly manner.

After Wei Tingyan arranged all the manpower, he took advantage of the gap to come over to chat with Xiao Chumo for a few words. It's just that after seeing the empty space behind the latter, he asked: "Cousin, what about the remaining fifty people?" ”

"Naturally, they have something else to do."

Xiao Chumo's voice was cold, and he didn't elaborate to him. Fortunately, Wei Tingyan was also a little nervous and anxious because of the current matter, and he didn't have the heart to ask at all. After staying for a while, he followed the hundred people to their places.

According to his arrangement, more than 20 of the soldiers disguised themselves as passing merchants, and pulled several cartloads of goods along the road that the merchants had to pass.

It's just that, at this time, at this place, where are they going to get the real goods? The tightly covered car was nothing more than a few branches and stones that were picked up.

But probably because of the weight of the stones, after the carriage passed by, the wheel prints left on the ground were deeper than those of ordinary goods. Those bandits thought that the goods transported by this "caravan" would be some kind of gold, silver and jewelry, but they were really led out like this.

This is what Wei Tingyan wants.

There were only about one or twenty bandits who rushed out, less than half the number of people who had heard before. He guessed that these mountain bandits should have not all arrived because they saw that there were not many members of the "caravan" in front of them, and they relied on their familiarity with the terrain.

Although he wanted to wipe out this nest of mountain bandits, but in the current situation, he really didn't care whether he would startle the snakes, so he had to act according to the original plan.

Seeing that the twenty soldiers disguised as caravans on the trail were about to be surrounded, Wei Tingyan no longer hesitated, and gave an order directly. The elite soldiers who were ambushed around immediately rushed out and surrounded the center.

The mountain bandits who thought they had robbed the big fish didn't expect that the imperial court would send people to encircle and suppress them, and when they saw the soldiers rushing out densely around them, they panicked. Some tried to break out of the encirclement with knives, but were quickly beaten back.

After the ping-pong sound of the collision of blades, the encirclement under the leadership of Wei Tingyan also shrank to a small range.

Of the twenty-one mountain bandits who had just appeared, except for one who was killed directly by the soldiers because the attack was too fierce. The other 20 were all injured to varying degrees and were unable to resist, and were finally captured alive.

Wei Tingyan asked some of the soldiers to stay where they were to take care of the people who had been captured alive, and he himself took the rest of the soldiers to search the mountain.

Even if he knew in his heart that this nest of mountain bandits was cunning and cunning, he had just fought for a while, and the people who stayed on the mountain were afraid that they had heard the movement and left, but he always had a little luck in his heart. What if someone walks slower and can be caught up by him?

The mountain is not very large, but it is densely wooded and overgrown with weeds, which is more suitable for hiding. At this time, so many people went up the mountain to search, and soon found a simple row of wooden houses on the top of the mountain.

Just as Wei Tingyan was worried, the wooden house was empty at this time, and it was obvious that he had already run away.

"Damn, it's still too late!"

Looking at the tea in the house, it was still steaming, but there was no one to see all the way. The anger in Wei Tingyan's heart rose suddenly, and he slammed his fist on the humble wall of the wooden house, shaking off a lot of wood chips on it.

Although he couldn't catch all the mountain bandits, he didn't know where to find someone at this moment. Even if he was unwilling in his heart, he had to accept his fate and go down the mountain, and let people escort the mountain bandits who had been caught to the place where they were encamped.

"Cousin, it's because I didn't plan well enough to let this nest of mountain bandits run away a lot, you can punish me!"

When he saw Xiao Chumo, Wei Tingyan was rarely proud of his achievements. In his opinion, if he failed to catch all the wandering mountain bandits, he would be considered a failure. How can you be proud of things that have failed?

Xiao Chumo has always had a business-like attitude when dealing with military affairs, even for his cousin. Therefore, Wei Tingyan will let him punish himself according to the charge of unfavorable affairs.

This time, however, his attitude was clearly a little different.

After listening to Wei Tingyan's words, he only nodded lightly, as if he had heard something expected. Seeing the former's somewhat puzzled look, he continued: "Don't worry about it, the rest of the mountain bandits are all imprisoned behind. They tried to escape, but I bumped into them. ”

He really wanted to take this encirclement and suppression of the mountain bandits as an experience for Wei Tingyan, but he couldn't just let these scourges escape. Therefore, when Wei Tingyan asked him before, the fifty elite soldiers left in his hands had already been sent by him to guard the back mountain.

Regarding this point, in fact, even if Xiao Chumo didn't say it, Wei Tingyan had already guessed seventy-seven-eighty-eight. After all, his cousin wasn't the kind of person who liked to wander around when he had nothing to do.

Fang Cai's depressed and annoyed mood was immediately emptied by Xiao Chumo's words, and Wei Tingyan couldn't wait to run to the back, wanting to see this group of guys who had made him scramble.

"General, Gongzi Wei...... Beat those mountain bandits one by one. ”

After a while, one of the soldiers in charge of guarding the mountain bandits came to report to Xiao Chumo, his face was a little strange. Obviously, he was relieved by Wei Tingyan's actions, but he felt that this was not right, so he came over to tell Xiao Chumo.

The latter knew Wei Tingyan's temperament very well, and knew that he was measured in his heart, but at this time, he just felt that he would lose face on a group of small mountain bandits, and he wanted to vent his anger.

Seeing that the soldiers below were still waiting, waiting for his reply. Xiao Chumo coughed lightly, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, let him go." There are a few of those bandits who are seriously injured, you should pay attention to it, don't let him kill people. ”

“…… Be. ”

When he had received his words, the soldier should come down and go to the rear.

Judging by Xiao Chumo's meaning, he didn't intend to meddle in this matter. Anyway, this group of mountain bandits had been wandering around before, and they had already harmed the people in many places, so he watched according to the former's words, as long as they didn't let them die.

Just like the news that Wei Tingyan brought to Xiao Chumo before, this nest of mountain bandits had robbed a lot of caravans before. Usually they don't want goods, only gold and silver, and occasionally they encounter caravans carrying jewelry, jewelry, or precious things, and they will also forcibly grab the goods.

Coupled with the things they had stolen outside the previous city, there were actually more than a dozen large wooden boxes.

If it weren't for Xiao Chumo, when he found that the wooden houses on the top of the mountain were empty, he ordered someone to carefully search the entire mountain, and finally found these belongings in a hidden cave on the back mountainside.

With Wei Tingyan's arrogant temperament, it is estimated that he will have to return to Kyoto to find out that something is wrong.
