Finally, in Li Qing's longing eyes, the old man did not disappoint Li Qing, looking at Li Qing, who was not busy holding him accountable, the old man finally spoke: "Although they tried their best to cover it up, but this group of mountain bandits has extremely strong combat effectiveness, and they can gather so much combat power in a short period of time, Fang Yuan said that there is probably only the Dragon and Tiger Village that is entrenched in the Longquan Mountains all year round. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

It's just that what we haven't been able to understand is that this group of bandits has always only haunted spring, summer and autumn, and there are few people who go up the mountain to pray for blessings in winter. ”

As soon as the old man's words fell, Liu Ran, who had been standing behind Li Qing and had been silent all the time, finally spoke: "Your Highness, I'm afraid it's really only them." "This group of mountain bandits has been wandering around Chengdu all the year round, making a living by robbing caravans and the dignitaries who came to Shijing Temple to offer incense, and the villagers around Longquan Mountain.

According to my father, the leader of this group of bandits was a middle-aged man named "Shi Hu", and the name of "Dragon and Tiger Village" was exactly "Longquan Mountain and Shi Hu each take one word" to have this name! seemed to think of something, looked at the people around him, Liu Ran, who had been indifferent from beginning to end, looked embarrassed, and said to Li Qing with a heavy face: "If it is really this bandit who shot this time, I'm afraid it will be really difficult to do!" ”

Seeing that Liu Ran was so low, Li Qing, who knew Liu Ran's character, asked curiously, "How can you say this?" Could it be that the thousands of elites behind me can't defeat a small group of bandits? ”

It seemed that he didn't want to hide the truth, and looked at King Shou with a confident face, Liu Ran said in a low voice: "Your Highness doesn't know, there are six or seven hundred mountain bandits in Longhu Village, these people are not ordinary rabble, basically they are either poor or guilty, each dare to fight and dare to kill, plus Shi Hu's original military background, and also know how to march and arrange, Longhu Village is located in the depths of Longquan Mountain, and it can be regarded as a dangerous place to defend, if there are no two or three thousand elite soldiers and horses, it is difficult to swallow them in one fell swoop." ”

"And now that Princess Shou is in their hands, if we rashly launch an attack, I am afraid that they will be unfavorable to Princess Shou, so my subordinates suggested that King Shou should endure for a few more days, send men and horses, and send troops to several states and counties around Chengdu, and then the armies will meet with Longquan Mountain, and they will definitely be able to annihilate them all with absolute superiority and rescue Princess Shou!"

Hearing that it was Princess Shou who was robbed, a group of monks standing aside trembling slightly at the moment had a feeling of wanting to cry without tears, this is an excellent thing, the dignified Princess Shou came to Shijing Temple, if it was a good reception, and left a good impression in its heart, then the inscription of Shijing Temple will not only be famous in Chengdu this acre and three points of land, I am afraid that even if it is the entire Jiannan Road, Shijing Temple can be ranked on the name.

But it's a very good thing, but it was made very bad by everyone, now Princess Shou was taken captive in the temple, so that the young Shou Wang Bingfa Shijing Temple, if Princess Shou is found and intact is good, if there is any damage, I am afraid that the inheritance of their Shijing Temple will come to an end, this, the monks of Shijing Temple present all understand!

Hearing Liu Ran's heartfelt words, Li Qing did not choose to be patient and calm down, but directly faced Liu Ran and said, "How many more days?" The king's wife was taken away, but now you let the king endure it for a few more days, even if all the horses in Longhu Village are wiped out, I'm afraid that Princess Shou is no longer the original Princess Shou! ”

Then Liu Ran, who was ignoring the side, instructed the guards beside him: "Pass the order, send scouts, before dawn, you must find out the hiding place of Longhu Village, everyone and horses rest in place, after dawn, there will be a battle of life and death, this time, this king will use blood to tell everyone, those who offend me, I will repay a thousand times!" ”

The night passed quietly, despite the many dissuasions of the people around him, but Li Qing still did not sleep all night, the cold style of the winter morning was cold, Li Qing who stood in the cold wind was full of taste, his eyes were firmly fixed on a crystal jade hairpin in his hand, which was the only thing that two hundred soldiers had obtained from rummaging through the entire Shijing Temple.

Li Qing naturally knew that this was one of the jewelry that Wei Yanyu brought with him when he came to Shijing Temple this time, the jade hairpin was crystal clear, mixed with a faint blood-red color in the middle, if he was not careful, I am afraid it would be difficult to find.

Without letting Li Qing wait too long, a team leader rushed in the front hall of Shijing Temple, walked in front of Li Qing, bowed down and said: "Your Highness, after a night of investigation, we finally found the base camp of Longhu Village, which is more than forty miles away from the Longquan Mountain Range, and at the foot of this mountain, there is a small town called Longquan Town. ”

Hearing the soldier's report, Li Qing lowered his head and thought for a moment, and then asked, "What is the topography of Longquan Mountain?" If so, how many people are there in this king's cottage? How many warriors are there? After all, I knew from Liu Ran that Longhu Village was not simple, and before leaving, Li Qing naturally had to plan everything.

Fortunately, when the previous investigation was carried out carefully, if it were not for this, I am afraid that the soldiers who reported at this moment really couldn't answer, lowered their heads and sorted out their thoughts, and then this person said: "According to the villagers of Longhu Village, there are more than 630 bandits on the mountain, but the warriors are conservatively estimated to be no less than 500 people, the commander of Longhu Village - Shi Hu is quite capable, Longhu Village is built by the mountain, from top to bottom at a glance, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if His Royal Highness King Shou is not to form a crushing trend with absolute strength, I am afraid it will be difficult to capture Longhu Village!" ”

"And Longquan Town is the only way to enter Longhu Mountain, if His Royal Highness leads the army to Longquan Town, it will definitely be detected by the eyeliner arranged by Longhu Village at the foot of the mountain, and when the time comes, let them be prepared, I'm afraid it will be even more tricky!"

Originally, this was going to ask about the actual situation of Longhu Village, but I didn't expect the people in front of him to have such an opinion, and at this moment, Li Qing finally began to carefully look at the soldiers in front of him.

This person is not young, not to mention the age of confusion, a face of stubble, walking between the dragon and tiger steps, even knowing that the person in front of him is the current Shouwang did not choose to lower his eyebrows and bend his waist, just maintain the due respect, it is enough to see that this person is not a flattering person.

This person is wearing the uniform of a brigade commander of the city defense army, and Li Qing naturally knows very well that this person is currently serving as a brigade commander in the city defense army, and he is in charge of two hundred low-level officers, which is not considered a high position, compared to Mu Fan, the promising young marshal of the Jianmen Army, who is in charge of a thousand teams, and Liu Ran, who has become one of the generals at a young age, is not incomparable at all.

In fact, although it is the same army of Jiannan Province, there are some differences in the uniforms of each army, and these differences arise due to the difference between the general of the army and the area guarded by the army. Of course, these armies are the same Jiannan Army after all, although there are differences, but after all, they are similar, in the eyes of ordinary civilians who do not understand the army system, whether you are the city defense army or the Jiannan Army, or the state army stationed in the border area, there is only one title, that is-Jiannan Army.

Saying that the similarities are only under the premise of being the same Jiannan Army, the ten major jiedu districts, hundreds of thousands of garrison troops, and the military uniforms of the army are naturally very different, such as the Jiannan Army, the Shuofang Army, the Anxi Army or the Lingnan Army, these armies guard the borders of the Tang Dynasty, defend the rivers and mountains of the Tang Dynasty, and the military uniforms of the soldiers in each section are still very different.

Of course, if you encounter a national disaster, a foreign invasion, or a border rebellion, it doesn't matter if you are the Jiannan Army, the Anxi Army, or you are the elite Shuofang Army, in the eyes of tens of millions of Tang people in the world, they are just a title - Tang Army, the steel indestructible city wall in the eyes of all the people, it is precisely because of the existence of these Tang Army, they will be extremely relieved, the glory of the Tang Dynasty, if there is no protection of the Tang Army in the world, then how can it continue?
