A large group of people are moving in the mountains, and they are still preparing to seize the foundation of another bandit gang, how can they not arrange spies to explore the way.

Master Li Zhai and the others traveled all the way, but they arranged a lot of spies in front, and although the actions on Huangzhushan's side were also secretive, they still couldn't hide from the spies under the hands of Master Li Zhai.

Early this morning, when they were just about to continue their journey towards Huangzhu Mountain, a spy reported that they had found a large number of people hiding ten miles ahead.

Ten miles away, there are a large number of people and horses hiding, and they are all young and strong with weapons, who they are can almost not be guessed, they must be people from Huangzhu Mountain, the so-called Tang Dynasty Wang Shi.

This also means that they have come all the way, and their whereabouts have been exposed and have attracted the attention and even precautions of everyone in Huangzhu Mountain, otherwise they would not have sent so many people to wait for them in advance.

Therefore, Master Li Zhai did not hesitate to suspend his intention to continue to advance, but sent several nimble and shrewd subordinates to carefully investigate the situation.

And just now, after these spies came back, they told Master Li Zhai in detail what they had discovered, and when he heard that there were at least more than 200 bandits in Huangzhushan in ambush ahead, and it might even reach the scale of 300 people, Lord Li Zhai's frowning brows never relaxed.

There are not only more than 1,000 people in Huangzhushan, and it is the same as his own family, there are old and young inside, even if all the young and strong people pull them out, there are only three or four hundred, but looking at the posture they put on, they are already elite, which clearly shows that the whereabouts of their people have long been exposed, and the other party is ready to swallow them in one gulp.

And what made him even more depressed was that his spies said that those people and horses in Huangzhushan did not seem to be simple, and the weapons held by their two or three hundred people were all Ming army standard weapons, and there were even at least dozens of people wearing heavy armor in them.

And the formation is neat and orderly, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a bandit.

Except for the messy clothes he wears, it can be said that he is no different from the regular Ming army in other aspects.

Isn't the other party a bandit? When did it become a regular army?

This made Li Zhai puzzled, and at the same time, it also made him retreat, this Huangzhu Mountain is probably a hard bone, and he rashly led people to attack, I am afraid that he will be defeated very badly.

But is there a way out for yourself?

Although the mountain is big, but there is no place to accommodate their more than 400 people lost dogs, they have been walking on the road for more than half a month, they fled in a hurry, the food they carried is limited, now the food they carry has already eaten half of it, although there are still some left, but it can't last long, ten days and half a month later, their food will be exhausted.

In the mountains, he encountered a food shortage crisis, and he knew very well what the outcome would be, and the result would definitely be starving to death.

The mountains have never been a good place, especially for bandit gangs that don't have enough food reserves.

Conquered Huangzhu Mountain, seized the foundation of the Tang Dynasty, and then went to the addiction of the Tang Emperor, which was the preferred plan set by the master of Li Zhai for his own action.

But if you can't beat Huangzhushan, then Li Zhai will take a backup plan, that is, to directly return to Shun and join Huangzhushan, and when the time comes, he will bring more than 400 people to Shun, how can he get a prince or a general or something like that.

Of course, this kind of submission is naturally not a sincere submission, he wants to find a place to settle down first, fill the stomachs of these more than 400 people first, and then if he has the opportunity, he will directly lead someone to kill the emperor named Li Xuan, and then become the emperor himself is the same.

In other words, whether it is a priority plan or a backup plan, the final goal is to kill Li Xuan himself as emperor and snatch the foundation of Huangzhushan.

It's just that now it seems that the previous plan is not working, and an alternative plan has to be used.

As for the alternative plan, if you want to achieve your goal, you must first show your strength, after all, you have to talk about the conditions of belonging, you can't stupidly run over and say that you want to surrender, at least let them see that you have strength, so that you can successfully get a prince, and only then will you have the opportunity to kill others and become emperors yourself.

It's the same as when he killed the previous boss!

If he stupidly ran over and surrendered, and the people on the other side directly regarded him as an ordinary bandit, and sent him away with a random officer such as a small leader, or simply cut him down, it would be far from his intended plan.

He was thinking hard about how to break the situation, and Mr. Xie, the hunchbacked old man beside him, stepped forward and said, "Owner of the village, since they are ambushed in front, why don't we plan it!" ”

"Oh, how do you count it?" Master Li Zhai looked up at Old Man Xie and said, "Mr. Xie, what plan do you have, just say it!" ”

Old Man Xie touched his beard, and then said in a neutral tone: "The men and horses of Huangzhushan must have discovered our traces, so they will arrange people to ambush them, but now that we have discovered them, we can completely pretend that we don't know and continue to advance, and then send a partial division to go around their backs, and when the two armies are fighting, let the partial division kill from the flank, and we will definitely be able to kill them by surprise." ”

Hearing this, Lord Li Zhai showed a contemplative expression, and then said, "If you send a partial teacher, will they find out?" ”

Old man Xie said: "As long as you are careful, you should not be discovered by them, there are more than 400 people, this walk for several miles, even if the other party has spies to follow us, but it is impossible to observe all the situation all the way!" ”

Old man Xie said this is not bad, Li Zhai Master thought in his heart, it is certain that the people of Huangzhushan have discovered their whereabouts, but the number of their spies should not be large, and they should not dare to get too close, otherwise they would have been discovered and expelled by their own guards.

This also means that the other party can only know a rough idea of his whereabouts, but if he is more secretive, it should not be a problem to pick out dozens of people to sneak away.

With this partial division, if the time comes, maybe you can still win, even if you can't win, but you can also increase the bargaining chips in the negotiations.

With this idea in mind, he quickly made a decision, personally selected more than thirty bandits, prepared to let them leave secretly, and then continued on the road with a large group of men and horses.

Whether you fight or not, lose or win, this Huangzhushan is definitely going to go!

After Lord Li Zhai made a decision and issued an order, Mr. Xie, the hunchbacked old man on the side, flashed a sneer at the corner of his mouth!
