If there were no ten points of trust value reminded by the system, how could Li Yunlong give Xu Zhiyuan the position of deputy captain so easily?

Li Yunlong is not stupid, not to mention, Li Yunlong still has a careful thought, since he has the idea of co-opting the horse bandits, giving Xu Zhiyuan a position of deputy captain, it is easier for Xu Zhiyuan to help him do this well.

Seeing Xu Zhiyuan's confused appearance, Li Yunlong couldn't help but laugh, "Lao Xu, don't doubt Lao Tzu's sincerity, just tell Lao Tzu, are you willing to do this vice captain?" ”

Xu Zhiyuan thought for a while, and then nodded, "No problem, I will try my best to do a good job as this vice captain." ”

Xu Zhiyuan himself is in the caravan, although he is also the second leader, but his hatred for Yang Xing, the big leader of the horse bandits, makes him have no sense of belonging to the caravan at all. In addition, Xu Zhiyuan also knew very well in his heart that the existence of horse bandits would not last long.

In the past, when the caravan was just rising, there was no strong army in the entire Ganning region, and even the troops of the national army rarely had a chance to cover this desolate area.

But now it's different, not only the troops of the Japanese devils, but also the ranks of the Eighth Route Army have also begun to move in large numbers to this side.

Xu Zhiyuan also got the news that several kinds of weapons newly developed and equipped by the Eighth Route Army were advanced to the standards of the Japanese devils, and it is conceivable that the army of the Japanese devils will be driven out of China sooner or later.

After the most hateful devils of the Japanese Kingdom were driven away, the remaining opponents of the Eighth Route Army would have the turn of the horse gang, which also often plagued the common people.

And Xu Zhiyuan is not like Yang Xing, in addition to robbing everywhere, he drinks with a group of subordinates, eats meat in big bowls, and lives in drunken dreams all day long, thinking that he is omnipotent and powerful.

Yang Xing didn't pay attention to the movements and development of the Eighth Route Army, but Xu Zhiyuan hated the Ma Gang in his heart, and even hated the Japanese devils who were even more hateful than the Ma Gang.

This made Xu Zhiyuan more and more aware that Li Yunlong's arrival became the best opportunity for him to break away from the horse gang and become a fighter for national salvation in the Anti-Japanese War.

Xu Zhiyuan's consciousness may not be high, but in Li Yunlong's opinion, this is nothing at all. A horse bandit who knows how to make trade-offs and knows what is right and wrong can abandon the darkness and join the ranks of the Eighth Route Army to help himself exterminate the horse bandits and fight devils.

Just doing this is enough.

Ding Wei's efficiency is high enough, but he can't leave the temporary station for the time being, so he can only arrange Zhou Zhidong to follow Li Yunlong to explore the way first.

Except for the team of the third regiment, Wei Dayong and several people all came here to gather.

According to Xu Zhiyuan, from here to the bandits' lair, it will take at least a whole night, during which they have to pass through the control area of the devils.

So when it was just getting dark, Li Yunlong and Xu Zhiyuan set off with someone and rushed to the oasis where the horse bandits' lair was.

This old nest of the horse bandits is not next to this seasonal river, but in a location isolated in the depths of the Gobi Desert. If it weren't for Xu Zhiyuan leading the way, it would be difficult to find this place at all.

A horse team of more than 200 people, if they want to pass through the control area of the devils silently, they must avoid the sentry towers and patrols set up by the devils.

Li Yunlong was very curious, "Lao Xu, how did you find this route to avoid all the devil posts?" ”

Xu Zhiyuan was happy, "Captain Li, in fact, this method is very easy, the devil's station is placed on both sides of the Season River, our team, as long as it is not close to the vicinity of the Season River, there is no need to worry that the devil will find out." ”

"But the sound of riding by can also alarm the devil's patrol, right?"

Li Yunlong couldn't help but ask.

Xu Zhiyuan smiled, "Indeed, our team will indeed be often discovered by these devils, but these devils are not stupid, the devil's patrol team, at most a dozen people, where dare to confront our horse team, if we have fewer people, the other party may still be able to come up and fight with us." ”

I see.

Xu Zhiyuan's words revealed a strong self-confidence.

This also made Li Yunlong realize that this gang of horse bandits is not simple, in terms of strength alone, the opponent who can make the devil's patrol team jealous will not be too bad.

Li Yunlong is also looking forward to seeing more and more to see how he can receive this team under his command. If such a group of soldiers followed, it would be much easier to exterminate the devils in the Ganning region.

Riding a horse and galloping, he ran for most of the night, and it was not until the time was almost three o'clock in the morning that Xu Zhiyuan reminded in a low voice, "Captain, four or five miles ahead, you will almost reach Yang Xing's lair." ”

Li Yunlong nodded, and also pulled the reins, slowing down the speed of the horse.

"Lao Xu, how many people are there now? Will the other party guard against you in advance? ”

The journey went smoothly, but Li Yunlong's vigilance did not relax at all.

Xu Zhiyuan laughed, "Captain Li, don't worry, now Yang Xing is still with the horse gang of the brigade, and is preparing to snatch a batch of war horses back, don't care about the situation on the side of the nest, the nest of the horse gang, although it is in the oasis, but it will not be the most comfortable time until the summer, and at that time, Yang Xing will take everyone back here to recuperate, and will not leave again until after autumn. ”

Only then did Li Yunlong realize that Yang Xing, the big boss of the horse bandits, obviously regarded this oasis hidden deep in the Gobi Desert as a vacation place.

Even Li Yunlong is a little envious, these bastards really know how to enjoy life.

Everyone slowed down the speed of the war horse, and Li Yunlong's ears suddenly stood up, habitually with a kind of vigilance, just when Li Yunlong had already seen the bushes at the edge of the oasis, Li Yunlong's ears twitched slightly, and his eyes gradually narrowed.

"Lao Xu, let your people stop first!"

"Stones, monks, stop first, there seems to be a situation ahead!"

"Captain, what's wrong?"

Everyone couldn't help but ask.

Li Yunlong sneered coldly, "In this oasis, there is a killing opportunity!" ”

"Killing?"

Xu Zhiyuan looked incredulous.

Li Yunlong pointed to the bushes in front of him, "Old Xu, look at our current location, how far is it from the bushes over there?" ”

Xu Zhiyuan frowned, but still replied, "It's almost more than two miles away, what's the matter, what did Captain Li find?" ”

Li Yunlong suddenly grinned, "Old Xu, how many cannons do you have in this nest?" ”
