Secondly, weapons are hidden.

When I arrived in Kaocheng, according to the local situation, I divided the activity area of each fire and each team. Each of his weapons is hidden in a secret place he is looking for, and if something happens, he quickly goes to retrieve it.

It is also necessary to solve the problem of food and housing. Each person sets the standard every day and distributes Kaiyuan Tongbao. Three, five, or seven people form groups, bury pots to make rice, or beg for food as flowers. If you have trouble sleeping, you can find the villages in their respective areas of activity and try to get people to help. Concentrate on sleeping every night.

When you get to the place, check the relationship between Kaocheng and the canal, which flows from Qixian County to the west of Kaocheng to the southeast and enters the territory of Xiangyi County. Kaocheng is the closest place to the canal, bordering Qixian and Xiangyi counties.

Qixian belongs to Bianzhou, and Xiangyi belongs to Songzhou, all of which belong to Han Hong of the Xuanwu Army. And Kaocheng belongs to Caozhou, which has become the territory of Li Shidao of the Ziqing Army.

The boundary river between Kaocheng and Qixian is called the Thatched River. The Maocao River flows southeast, enters the territory of Xiangyi County, and eventually flows into the canal.

There are three villages in Khao Cheng County at this junction, and the distance between them varies from five to eight miles. One of the places, running to Qixian County in the southwest, is only seven miles, which is the Tongji Canal, that is, the South Canal.

This place is called Qianwangli, stretching more than 200 households, with five built-in chiefs and one lizheng.

To the south of Qianwangli, there is an official road directly to the canal in Qixian County, which is the only way to go to the canal in Kaocheng County and Ziqing Army.

Due to the bustling business travel, in addition to the neat buildings of the old village in the center, the houses built by many vendors in the surrounding area are crowded and very prosperous. It is said that there are 200 households, but in fact there are more than 400 households living in miscellaneous households. With an average of five people per household, at least 2,000 people, it is literally a town.

From the official road of Qianwangli, if you want to cross the border of Kaocheng County, you must pass through the checkpoint set up here, and specially inspect the inspection of passing grain trucks. The people called it Zhuan Yin, and called it Jiguan.

The small pass was privately set up by the Ziqing Army, and there were two fires of the Ziqing Army. But Jiguan Ling is a royal lieutenant of the Niuzhangshan faction, named Mo Dun. The commander of the brigade under the tent of Nainiuzhang Mountain is very brave, and no one dares to compete with it.

Jiguan is located on the east side of the thatched river, the boundary between Kaocheng and Qixian. After passing the customs, as soon as you cross the bridge, you will arrive at the territory of Qi County. Of course, if you don't go far along the official road, you have to pass through Lutun Township in Qi County.

Lutun Township is only four miles away from the canal bank, and it is a wharf, which carries the transportation and merchant activities such as loading and unloading ships in the direction of Kaocheng.

Since the township is established, there is the management of the elderly, and the township officials will inevitably investigate. There is no shut-off, and it is certainly not so casual to pass. Therefore, the chicken pass is even more important.

It is very difficult for the displaced people to get through. It is very likely that you will be detained by Mo Dun and sent to Niuzhang Mountain, so that you will become his soldier. And to enter Qixian from other places, unless to the upper reaches of the thatched river.

But the people of the Ziqing Army, of course, can swagger through the customs.

Fan Zhu Bi, a bronze rod with a purple dragon, Fan Danbi, a father and son with a two-edged copper knife, Song Dou, a regimental captain, and five people, including brigade commanders Bing Jian and Qi Chong, divided the two brigades of 200 people into twenty or thirty fires, and successively assembled in the Qianwang in the inland of two days.

The fire wanderers tried their best to find out the situation here, and the five discussed countermeasures, and Qianwangli was only three miles away from Jiguan. Fighting, a lunge came to the front.

From Qianwangli to the canal, it is only seven miles, and it only takes two quarters of an hour to run, but it has to pass through Jiguan in Kaocheng and Lutun Township in Qixian County. To know the whereabouts of our boats, you have to go to the canal. Once something happens, it is also necessary to quickly get the signal and gather troops to fight. What to do?

Most of the pre-departure plans are useless. No wonder the art of war is cloudy: the general is outside, and the king's order is not affected.

Fan Zhubi thought about it and vetoed the smuggling opinions of Song Dou, Bing Jian, and Qi Chong.

The money brought for food and lodging was more than enough, and he took out a part of it to buy horse-drawn carriages, and purchased grain in the neighborhood every day, and called on grain sellers to help him get a certificate and customs clearance documents in Qianwangli. Pass the chicken pass with dignity. Even if you charge customs duties, it doesn't matter.

When you get to the canal, there must be grain sellers, and sell them at a low price. After bringing the money, he returned to Qianwangli, continued to collect grain, and continued to pass the customs. And so on, every day there is an up-to-date signal. It is not a waste of money, and it will not be suspected by Guan Lingmodun. Once the fight starts, you can also ride your horse into battle.

The horses on the cart can take advantage of the dusk to go to the wheat field outside the Qianwang to train for battle.

In the end, it was originally planned that the daily food and lodging fee per person was 100 yuan, and 200 people were 20 yuan per day. I prepared a half-month deadline, three hundred times. There are other unforeseen expenses of 500 yuan.

An ordinary horse pulling a cart, five guan, you can first take out four hundred guan and buy eighty horses. Together with the five horses they rode on, there were eighty-five horses that could go into battle.

The eighty-five horses were divided into sixteen grain sales teams, ranging from three to five or seven horses each, and the same accents were formed into a grain sales team. Four teams today, four teams tomorrow, and four more the day after tomorrow. Stagger the time, sparsely pull, hang the child, and don't be afraid of horizontal and vertical, Mo Dun will not be suspicious.

Weapons hidden, each trying to do. The tooth soldiers are familiar with the residents in the Qianwang and give some benefits. It's all hidden. Occasionally, the tooth soldier simply didn't hide it, just held it in his hand and wandered around, and no one suspected anything else.

The plan was established, and the five generals worked together to do it for five days in this way, and found that there were many huge businessmen at Lutun Wharf one after another. Every time there is a call, it is a front and back hug. These people all poured in from Jiguan and lived separately in the large and small carriage and horse shops in Lutun Township.

Fan Danbiao believes that this is most likely the robbery team of Niu Zhangshan, and it is also a make-up operation. Fan Zhubiu, Song Dou, Bing Jian, and Qi Chong all agreed with this.

In the end, it was agreed that tomorrow Fan Danbi would take Bing Jian and Qi Chong to the wharf by secret means, five horse-drawn carriages, and sell grain to visit them, so as to find out the ins and outs of these people.

Fan Zhubi and Song Dou stayed in the Qianwang, waiting for news and dealing with the unexpected.

The next day, five cars and ten people, divided into three groups, one group of four people, two groups of three people. Fan Danbiu, Bing Jian, and Qi Chong each brought a dial. Collect grain in the king early in the morning, just arrived at the brand, the full grain truck has already passed the chicken pass.

When I went to the Lutun wharf, I found a grain dealer, bought grain at a low price, and recovered the grain money.

In a flash, it was dusk. also found a carriage and horse shop to live, three groups of ten people, and lived in two nearby carriage and horse shops. The saddle bridle and wheel are removed, and the store is fed with hay, soybeans, and water. Park the empty car and hurry tomorrow morning.

There is no alcohol and meat in the carriage and horse shop. I went to the nearby butcher shop and liquor shop to buy them at random, borrowed the store's table and stool, and placed them under the eaves to drink. Each of the three groups drank his own drink. bumped into someone who lived with him, and he was warmly invited to drink together.

After all, Fan Danbiao has been following his father for a long time, knows how to talk in the rivers and lakes, and is very close to people.

He is a group of four, and he lives in Liu Cheng's carriage and horse shop. In addition to Fan Danbi, one of the four is fierce and fierce, and two old tooth soldiers fight and fight with phoenixes. In the past few days, after wandering and selling grain, I have also learned to observe words and colors, and the words of the rivers and lakes are quite tacit.

The person who lives next door looks like three people, dressed quite magnificently, but they don't buy wine or meat. Fan Danbiao guessed that it was the Ziqing Army, the leading fire commander and Wu Chang, who went to drink and meat, who cared about them.

Fan Danbiao winked at Yi Meng, of course he knew what to do. Opened the curtain of the three and warmly invited: "When you go out, don't treat yourself badly." Come, three brothers, come out and have a drink together. ”

An older man stood up and said humbly: "If you don't have merit, you don't dare." ”

"Oh, feel free to drink a little, tomorrow the sky will be separated, maybe there will be a fate, and there will be a story in the future. "Long Bo also went over, please move.

The two also stood up: "That's what I said, the word fate is worth a thousand gold." Then it is better to be respectful than to obey fate. ”

The three of them moved the stools in the house, came out together, and exchanged pleasantries.

After drinking it quickly, Feng Zhen took the money and the empty wine jar of the carriage and horse shop, and went to fetch a large jar. The more you talk about it, the more you talk about it, the more you talk about it, the more you talk about it, the more you talk about it.

The older one is called Gao Duo, and the two younger ones are named Wu Zhong and Sheng You. It's hot with each other, and they call their names and hang a brother word at will.

The second altar drank a great deal again, and his tongue was no longer in the way. After all, Fan Danbiao is listed in the twenty-four tribes of Jin Tan, and the thief side has long been well-known, and this has always been a pseudonym. At this time, he teased: "Brother Gao Duo, your family branch brother, I heard that the Yicheng Army newly awarded the Eight Great Bronze Horses, all of which started from the peddlers, what do you say?"

Gao Duo took a sip of wine, picked a lump of meat, and shouted: "It's not just the eight bronze horses, but the gold and silver horses are also ordinary tooth soldiers, and they are selected by the competition." What kind of person is Xue Shangshu. Lao Tzu is not that blessed. ”

Wu Zhong was even more resentful: "Lao Tzu is very bitter, and it is estimated that he will be a soldier for the rest of his life." ”
