The army division Wu went to do other things and didn't come to participate. Gongsun Shengdao, the commander of the Third Army Division, went to Qingzhou to recruit refugees, but he was not there, only Zhu Wu, the Second Army Division, was there.

This time, Zhu Wu saw that Chao Gai's face was grim, and immediately asked, "Brother, what's the matter?" In such a hurry? ”

Chao Gai said: "This is a letter written by Hujiazhuang, take a look." Chao Gai handed the letter for help written by Hu Sanniang to Zhu Wu, Zhu Wu took it and looked at it carefully, and immediately said: "Brother Hu Cheng is not at home when he goes to sea, and we should take care of this matter." This Zhujiazhuang is a head snake, although Zhu Hu and Zhu Biao are a little stupid, but the boss Zhu Long is still quite scheming, and he will definitely not think that no one in Zhujiazhuang dares to provoke because of the head Luan Tingyu. The reason why Zhujiazhuang dared to do this must have been secretly instigated, otherwise with Zhu Long's shrewdness, he would definitely not do this. ”

Before Chao Gai could speak, he heard Li Kui say: "Who dares to bully Zhujiazhuang, who is it, I cut him." ”

Chao Gai said: "Don't be impatient. ”

Although Li Kui was in a hurry, he didn't dare to make a mistake, so he stopped quietly to listen.

Chao Gai asked Zhu Wu: "Mr. Zhu thinks this matter should be handled." ”

Zhu Wu analyzed: "Zhu Long dares to be so sure that he has caught up with some real power figure in Dongping Mansion, don't mention those big heads in the county, no one knows about my brother's power in this area, and the entire Dongping Mansion is the prefect and the soldiers and horses are the largest." ”

Chao Gai said: "Governor Cheng is a decent person, and besides, he is a big man, so he will definitely not collude with Zhu Long for such a thing, not to mention that as a prefect, if you want to get some land, 30,000 mu and 20,000 mu is really not a thing." In this way, it seems that Dong Ping, the prisoner of soldiers and horses, hates me to the bone, and this person must be the one who is in the way. ”

"It's too early to assert, it's actually my brother that Zhu Long has to deal with, so Hujiazhuang is very safe. The so-called open guns are easy to dodge and dark arrows are difficult to defend, and it is not difficult to deal with Zhujiazhuang, but it is difficult to deal with the person behind him. Zhu Wu said.

Liu Tang said: "It's not a way to be on guard all day, I think my brother can go to Hujiazhuang, and the person behind him will inevitably appear." ”

Zheng Tianshou said: "If my brother brings more people, the people behind him may not be willing to appear, and it is a little riskier to bring fewer people." ”

Chao Gai pondered: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger, I am going to take a trip to see who is secretly making trouble." ”

Everyone asked for battle, and Liu Tang said: "Let me accompany my brother on this trip, not to mention a small Zhujiazhuang, even if it is a Longtan tiger's den, I am not afraid." ”

"I'll go too, I have to cut that kid Zhu Biao." Li Kui said.

Chao Gai pondered: "We are fundamentally in Yuncheng, and this may also be the enemy's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain." Therefore, Liu Tang can't move, I went to Hujiazhuang, and you and Zhu Wu have full authority to command the horse army and infantry. I only brought 100 personal soldiers, Pang Wanchun brought 20 elite archers, and transferred Li Kui, Zhang Lan, and Zheng Tianshou to accompany me. ”

"Isn't there a little less of this person?" Warley said.

Zhu Wu also said: "Since you have brought Li Kui, bring Li Kui's 100 infantry with you." ”

"No, Chao Ran, you bring another hundred sword and shield soldiers with you." Chao Gai said.

Chao Ran clenched his fists and said, "Respect the order." ”

In this way, there are 220 soldiers alone, as well as Chao Gai, Jiao Ting, Pang Wanchun, Li Kui, Zhang Lan, Chao Ran, and Zheng Tianshou.

Li Kui saw that he was not allowed to lead the troops, and his face was longer than that of a donkey.

Chao Gai said: "Don't let you lead troops is to care about you, with your temper I can't see you at a glance, you can't lead troops to destroy the village, and next time you go to another place, let you lead the troops." ”

Li Kui said: "Okay. "In fact, Li Kui really has the idea of destroying Zhujiazhuang, although Zhang Lan is the maid of Hujiazhuang, but after all, he regards Hujiazhuang as his own home, Li Kui is a person who loves his wife, so he naturally can't see Zhang Lan's mother's family angry.

There is no need for a navy to Dulonggang, and naturally the navy is immovable. Chao Gai led the team to eat and sleep all the way, and marched to Hujiazhuang. This way took three days to arrive, the winter march is a kind of exercise for the team itself, almost all the soldiers are veterans, and no one complains about being tired, even Zheng Tianshou, who Chao Gai was worried about, is actually very good, and he has not seen any hardships along the way, and it seems that he can take on the heavy responsibility of prospecting.

"Report, ten miles ahead is Dulonggang, and there are five miles to Hujiazhuang when you go to Dulonggang." Scout Pegasus Newspaper.

Chao Gai said: "Rest in place, scouts within five miles." ”

The team of more than 200 people has more than a dozen ranger scouts around, and it can be regarded as being careful to get home, and it is still very experienced for Zhujiazhuang Chao Gai, this is a typical defensive village, with a large population and great power, not to mention that there is also a Luan Tingyu, Luan Tingyu is a rare master, and the martial arts alone are higher than most of Chao Gai's current subordinates, and it is estimated that Wang Jin and Bian Xiang are more powerful than this person.

It didn't take long for the people sent by Hujiazhuang to arrive, and a short man rode a horse, saw Chao Gai and said, "Please Chao Tuanlian follow us into the village, the village has prepared wine and food to welcome the army." ”

Zhang Lan said next to him: "What kind of food did my young lady prepare for the group practice, why haven't I seen you." ”

"Well, I don't know. The young lady only said let me lead the way, because the right road ahead had already let the people of Zhujiazhuang dig a trap. As for you haven't seen me, it's because I'm new. "It's humane.

"Alright, lead the way." Chao Gai said.

The team set off, and the neat formation of the soldiers marched towards Dulonggang, and after walking no more than two miles, they found that the front was full of dry artemisia grass, and the road just passed between the artemisia grasses. In these years, no one asks about the barren mountains and wilderness that does not rely on the village or the town, so the grass grows high, and such a large area of grassland is also rare, not to mention thousands of acres.

Chao Gai waved his horsewhip and said loudly: "Stop." ”

The man who came to lead the way: "Chao group practice, why did you stop the team." ”

Chao Gai sighed: "What Zhujiazhuang and Hujiazhuang are fighting for is nothing more than a bit of wasteland, and the weeds here are waist-deep, it must be fertile land, why not reclaim it and plant it." ”

"Well, why don't you wait until you see my young lady." Humanity that leads the way.

Chao Gai said to Pang Wanchun: "Set off a rocket and burn this grassland." ”

With a wave of his hand, twenty archers on horseback scattered in all directions, lit the rockets one by one, and shot them over with a whoosh, whoosh. The artemisia grass had dried up completely, it could be described as a dry firewood, and the raging fire burned in an instant, quickly engulfing the grass.

The fire started and burned fast, and it burned out in about half an hour, and there was a thick layer of ash on the ground.

Li Kui wondered: "Brother wants to eat roast hare today, why is it okay to let Pang Wanchun set fire to play." ”

Chao Ran smiled: "It seems that you will still fail the exam." How did my brother teach you, you should pay attention to the dangerous places when you encounter them on the march. Such a deep artemisia grass rashly penetrates, in case of enemy fire attack, it will be unimaginable. ”

Chao Gai said: "Chao Ran is right, but you still ignore a lot of problems. Everywhere we went, pheasants and hares were frightened and jumped out or flew up. Just arrived at such a large meadow but no birds flew up, didn't you find it, it seems that Wan Chun is careful, and he has already discovered the clues. ”

The man who came to report the news found that he was recognized by Chao Gai and wanted to run, but he was slashed to the butt by Zhang Lan, and he screamed in pain.

"You idiot, do you think my young lady will let you, a newcomer, lead the way? And I have to go to this barren meadow to tell you that I grew up here. Zhang Lan scolded.

This man was about to cry, he was scolded and beaten by Zhang Lan, and the beating was unspeakably miserable, how did he know that Hu Sanniang's personal maid would follow the team, and he was easily recognized.

Sure enough, at this time, the hidden ambush in front appeared, and the black pressure was overwhelming, at least 1,500 people, and the cavalry was very few, most of them were infantry. The clothes are not uniform, the clothes are the clothes of the villagers, but in order to make it easy to distinguish, they all wear the same hats, and the weapons are uneven, mostly knives and spears, and a small number of hunting forks.

"Queue up and meet the enemy." In the training of the Yuncheng regiment, the officers at the grassroots level quickly organized the team, with the sword and shield bearers in front and the archers in the back. Sixty cavalry archers lined up on either side.

Chao Gai laughed: "This is the Zhujiazhuang team, save chicken feathers and make guts, and make a team together." ”

Everyone also laughed, and Li Kui said: "Brother, don't bring any more soldiers, my brother will give me fifty people, see me take his Chinese army, and cut off the heads of these three people." ”

Chao Gai said: "Let's see what they want to do." ”

It was none other than Luan Tingyu with the three brothers Zhu Long, Zhu Hu, and Zhu Biao. The team stopped before it was two hundred paces. Li Kui took the lead with a big ax and came to the middle of the formation, scolding: "A good dog is not in the way, and it is not a good dog in the way." Why are you bastards in our way? ”

Zhu Hu rode over with a steel gun, and said with a smile: "Black man, you are the one Li Kui, didn't I hear that you will play with a pair of plate axes, why are you still riding a horse, be careful and fall down, but no one will help you." ”

Li Kui gritted his teeth and said, "I'm not angry, if you have something, hurry up." What is this for, do you want to fight? ”

"Isn't this, if you don't fight, take more than a thousand people out for an outing." I wish the tiger to say.

Li Kui pouted: "Are you joking when you fight, if you don't destroy the family village, you will have to die half." Say, why are you fighting with us? ”

"Chao Gai's wife who snatched my third brother's woman, do you think you should fight?" Zhu Hu said.

Li Kui said that he couldn't Zhu Hu, and he was annoyed after a few words, and the big axe was immediately opened, and he split it according to his head. Zhu Hu raised his gun to parry, and there was a loud click, if this Zhu Hu also had some ability, after all, Luan Tingyu's apprentice was not an ordinary person, and he stubbornly blocked Li Kui's axe.

Li Kui swept over with another axe, the autumn wind swept the leaves, the momentum was very strong, and he ran to Zhu Hu's waist with a sigh.
