Chapter 40: Siege
Li Qingyuan shook his head: "What do you say if he hates because of love and turns to the enemy?" ”
Wu Sanniang looked at Li Qingyuan in surprise: "Meng Can, he won't be like this, right?" ”
Li Qingyuan shook his head again: "It's hard to say......." ”
Wu Sanniang also fell into thought, and said in a tone that she was not sure about: "Probably not...... ”
Rebellion is to lose its head, especially in such a prosperous era, there are basically few appeasements, basically all of them are exterminated, not only will they be killed, but even their families will be sent to the frontier as slaves.
Therefore, few people who choose the road of rebellion surrender, even if they surrender, they will not end well, and everyone knows that they will make an example of this kind of rebellion in the peaceful years, but if a leader like Meng Can defects to the enemy and sells himself, then he can still be rewarded with an official and a half-position.
Meng Can was also very aggrieved in his heart, he followed him from Shandong to Shanxi, all the way for thousands of miles, for what, wasn't it just for Wu Sanniang? Now Wu Sanniang's heart is tied to Li Qingyuan's little white face, and the reason why Meng Can keeps scolding Li Qingyuan is not so much to vent his inner dissatisfaction and provoke.
But Li Qingyuan knew that he couldn't beat him, so he didn't accept the other party's provocation at all, and went head-to-head? I am a person who eats with my brain, how can I fight with you as a martial artist, you have the ability to be more poetic and poetic!
In fact, Li Qingyuan sometimes sees such a person and really wants to destroy him with one shot, but in terms of prestige and brain, this Meng Can is still very desirable, just say that the other party knows how to advance and retreat when he encounters a strong enemy, but only two people are injured, this kind of sober mind is rare.
Moreover, he has participated in the Great War and commanded thousands of rebels, although he is not a general, but a qualified middle-level officer can still be a good one, talent, talent, this is what Li Qingyuan needs very much.
Originally, Li Qingyuan thought that he would be able to be quiet after driving the other party to the south, but he didn't expect that it didn't take long for this guy to come back with a problem, and now if he doesn't solve the problem of Wu Scar in the south, this guy will be too troublesome under his nose.
Meng Can went out to organize his subordinates, and Li Qingyuan also asked the first battalion to end its training and prepare for the attack, and the other party estimated that there were more than 300 people, and a battalion of 1,000 people plus 180 people from the Tianli Council was enough to deal with.
Li Qingyuan thought for a while, and felt that his sharpshooters were a good opportunity for actual combat training this time, so he simply brought fifty sharpshooters with him, and a new batch of muskets would be delivered tomorrow, and the sharpshooter team would be guaranteed to have one person at that time.
Meng Can's team set off early the next morning, this time the target was Taohua Township in Shexian County, there was a big Li family in Taohua Township, who usually had a bad reputation in the township and was more evil, so this time he was also eliminated by the way.
Of course, another reason is that the squire Lu family of Peach Blossom Township heard that it had something to do with this Wu scar, and Li Qingyuan planned to use this operation to startle the snake, and finally achieve the purpose of luring the snake out of the hole.
Meng Can walked for a day before Li Qingyuan set off with people, strictly speaking, this Wu Scar's sphere of influence borders Li Qingyuan, so the distance between the two is only fifty or sixty miles, but none of the subordinates who interrogated Liu San knew where this Wu Scar was.
Meng Can will launch an operation against Li Dahu in Taohua Township last night, and today he will go to a place in Lentil Ditch to repair, which is said to be very close to the bandits' lair, because there is a legend of fierce beasts on the mountain, and many people will not be able to return if they go up the mountain.
Therefore, according to Li Qingyuan's analysis, these rumors may have been released by Wu Daoscar, and the people who can't come back may have been killed by him, and the target of Li Qingyuan and others is Longdong Village, which is more than ten miles northwest of Lentil Valley.
Longdong Village does not say that there is a cave called Dragon Cave here, but because of a feng shui term, it is said that this place has the potential of nine dragons returning to the cave, so that place is called Dragon Cave.
Therefore, Li Qingyuan and the others are not hiding in the cave, but hiding in the mountains and forests a little southeast of Longdong Village, if Wu Dao Scar is really the kind of character that will be retribution, then this time Meng Can will definitely make a move to provoke him again.
It's just that Wu Scar is even more breathless than Li Qingyuan imagined, when Li Qingyuan was still on the road, someone from Peach Blossom Township delivered news to Wu Scar Village, Wu Scar heard that the group that came last time hadn't left yet, so he angrily dropped the teapot.
Immediately gathered a group of subordinates, everyone came to the Juyi Hall in one go, and the second boss said at the door: "Boss, are these barbarians looking for death, we let them go last time, and they dare to come this time, since they like it so much, let's leave them on this mountain!" ”
At this time, an old man with a goatee said: "This group of people suffered a loss last time, and they dare to come this time, don't they have anything to rely on?" I heard that there is something going on in Handan in the north, and it seems that I want to think about their style of acting. ”
The second master asked: "You mean that they were driven to our side by Handan?" That's not good, how can you beg for food on our side without worshipping the eldest brother's mountain ....... ”
Wu Scar said: "No matter where they come from, we can't let them break our rules and business, this group of people must definitely teach a lesson, otherwise others will think that I, Wu Scar, is a bully, and in the future, cats and dogs will dare to ride on my neck and!" ”
"Big brother is right, I'll take someone to do them!" The second child immediately clamored to get out.
There will always be such a reckless follower around every boss, this kind of person is simple-minded, easy to bewitch and easy to woo, so this is not to say that there are many such people in society, but that many bosses deliberately find such people to bring around them to make it seem that there are many such people.
Wu Scar shouted: "The second child is back!" ”
The second brother turned around and asked, "What else does the eldest brother command?" ”
Wu Scar touched his lips and said: "What the military advisor said also makes sense, this group of people has nothing to rely on, according to the people of Peach Blossom Township, the other party settled in lentil ditch, and the place can't climb on both sides, only the two valleys can enter and exit, this time let's go together, four hundred people will do one hundred of them, and I'm afraid that they will turn out flowers!" ”
The second brother shouted: "Big brother, this kind of trivial matter is still bothering you to do it yourself, I will clean them up with a handful of people by myself......." ”
Wu Scar waved his hand: "Don't say it, let's do it, gather the brothers, the second brother, you go up from the north ditch, I will go up from the south ditch, this group of people is hiding there, this time we will also give him a net!" ”
It took more than an hour for Wu Scar to gather his minions and start to march separately, at this time Li Qingyuan's large army had just arrived at Judonggou, and it was at least three hours away from Lentil Valley, while Wu Knife Scar was only an hour away from Lentil Ditch.
