Not long after Su Yi returned to the cottage, He Kui sent a message back at night, and a large number of red-clothed cultists were found in Youzhou, and these people wandered around the counties and counties to preach, absorbing many believers.

At the same time, Chen Hu also implemented a strict blockade of the vertical and horizontal mountain ranges, sent heavy troops to guard the main roads, He Kui sent the vertical and horizontal mountain ranges of the night is not collected by the officers and soldiers of the siege, but they also sent back some important news, the local heroes of Shangjun County complained about Chen Hu, the local forces are already complicated, Chen Hu relied on his own military power, did not put those powerful forces in his eyes, and expropriated the local squires, and the two sides were already on the same footing.

In the study, Su Yi quietly listened to the report that did not receive the night, and his subordinates sat Zhang Hongsheng, Scar, Gao Heihu, Liu Shisan, Qian Bao, Meng Hai, Zhou Fei, Zhang Huan and others.

Su Yi stood up, walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, and suddenly asked, "According to the news sent back by He Kui, what do you think?" ”

As soon as he asked what he said, he regretted it a little, except for Zhang Hongsheng, a literati, the rest of the people present were rough people, especially Gao Heihu and a few of them, they were all born as dirt thieves, and it might be okay to let them fight and kill on weekdays, but if they want to make suggestions, they are simply pulling generals out of the shackles, and they are all a group of crooked turnips.

Zhang Hongsheng tried to speak: "The soldiers of Shangjun County are strong and strong, and in the days when the lord was away, Chen Hu also sent troops into the Zongheng Mountain Range to conquer other cottages, but unfortunately the powerful forces of Shangjun County did not cooperate with him to send troops at all, and as a result, the officers and soldiers of Shangjun County suffered heavy losses in the Zongheng Mountain Range and returned with a heavy defeat. I don't think the soldiers and horses in this county are terrible, but we don't need to take the lead for other cottages and take the initiative to provoke Chen Hu. ”

Su Yi frowned and asked, "Then what do you mean?" ”

Zhang Hongsheng coughed, cleared his throat and said: "Chen Hu has imposed a blockade on the Zongheng Mountain Range, preventing caravans from all over the country from entering the Zongheng Mountain Range, this is going to cut off our financial route, but what we have to do now is to be patient, the situation of other cottages is also not optimistic, in the long run, they will definitely take the initiative to attack the officers and soldiers of Shangjun County, seeking a way to survive, and then we will wait for the opportunity to send troops and reap the benefits of the fisherman." ”

After listening to this, Gao Heihu and the others all nodded, Zhang Hongsheng's suggestion was the same as the previous practice of Taohuazhai, waiting for the opportunity to eat black or take advantage of the fisherman, Taohuazhai gradually grew by relying on this strategy, the officers and soldiers attacked Qingyun Village at the beginning, and later attacked Baihuzhai to snatch war horses.

If it had been before, Su Yi might have adopted Zhang Hongsheng's opinion, but he had a short contact with the Cardinal Sect in Liaodong, and he knew that these people had great plans, and the relationship between Liaodong and Youzhou became more and more delicate.

The sky of Da Chu is about to change, if it is just a small fight as before, when the world is in chaos, Peach Blossom Village will be instantly submerged in the vast river of history, and it will no longer be able to make a wave.

The reserves of weapons and armor in Taohuazhai are more than those in other cottages, the captive war horses have reached tens of thousands, and there are more than 10,000 cavalry, which is huge, but Su Yi knows that these bandits are simply a rabble compared with the officers and soldiers of Liaodong, and they don't even need to be compared with the elite of Liaodong, even Liu Yu's subordinates, when the strength is equal, Taohuazhai may not be able to please him.

What's more, the situation in the vertical and horizontal mountains is getting worse and worse, the rogue is raging, and the elusive black armor army is also constantly absorbing soldiers, in addition to the black armor army, there are also many big villages like White Tiger Village, once the peach blossom village rises, it will become a thorn in their side, but if the peach blossom village can only be satisfied with the status quo, when the world is in chaos, it is the day of the fall of the peach blossom village.

In troubled times, weapons and armor are important, but food is even more important, as long as you hold the granary, you can recruit the displaced people for your own use, otherwise no matter how elite the army is, it will also be controlled by others because of lack of food, unable to occupy an advantage in the beginning, and finally slowly swallowed up by other forces.

The biggest problem of Taohuazhai is that the grain and grass are not self-sufficient, so they can only continue to plunder the passing merchants, or buy from Chengjiazhuang and Wangjiazhuang, but if the world is in chaos, when the forces compete with each other, will Chengjiazhuang sell grain to Taohuazhai again?

At that time, Chengjiazhuang only needs to interrupt the grain trade with Taohuazhai to make Taohuazhai die.

Zhang Hongsheng looked at Su Yi with blank eyes, he thought that Su Yi would praise his suggestion, but he waited for a long time and only saw Su Yi's contemplation.

"No!" Su Yi glanced at Zhang Hongsheng, and then looked at the subordinates present and said: "This time is different from the past, this time I went out to rob the war horses, and when I came back, I passed through Liaodong and Youzhou, and I also learned some information, this red-clothed sect will make some moves in a few days, and then the world will be in chaos, and the era of warlord secession is only earlier than I expected......"

Zhang Hongsheng said with joy: "Is this true? If this is the case, my Peach Blossom Village will definitely be able to lay a world in this troubled world. He said with joy on his face, but the disappointment on Su Yi's face became heavier and heavier.

The situation in Liaodong is very complicated, some time ago he and Huang County Ling ended the Wanjia Branch, this Wanjia Branch is backed by the Mi family, one of the four major families in Liaodong, Huang County Ling to the Wanjia Branch, in the Mi family's view, this is Huang Wenbing is declaring war on the Mi family, Liaodong is different from the land south of the Yangtze River, its geographical location is very complicated, the barbarians outside the Guanxi do not want to invade the Guannei all the time, the Wanjia branch will be eradicated, and the post road that the Mi family plans to take also fell into the hands of the Huang County Order.

At this time, the Mi family will definitely make some moves, with the urine nature of these family gates, they will even sacrifice the interests of the country for the sake of the family interests, maybe they will collude with the Hu people to assist the Hu people in invading Liaodong, eradicate dissidents when the Hu people invade, and take the post road, firmly safeguard the interests of the Mi family, and control the golden road.

What's more, the Wanjia branch and the Cardinal Sect also colluded, and the Jinyi Guard, who had been silent for many years, also appeared in Jingmen County, indicating that the imperial court had taken precautions against the Cardinal Sect, and at this time, the Wanjia Branch was bulldozed by the Huangxian Order, and the Cardinal Sect may not suspect that its plan had been leaked, and it was worried that the imperial court would do something to them, and it was not impossible to occupy the counties and counties in various places to make a rebellion.

"This time, we ransacked the Wanjia Branch, the Mi family and the Cardinal Sect will definitely make a move, and He Kui also sent news that this Cardinal Sect has been very active recently." Su Yi glanced at Zhang Hongsheng, he hoped that Zhang Hongsheng would be able to see the situation in front of him clearly.

Zhang Hongsheng was overjoyed and said: "Lord! We still have 5,000 swords, 10,000 spears, bows, arrows, and armor in our warehouse! The number of war horses is far more than some big villages, and I have heard of the red clothes before, as long as they take the lead in making trouble, our Peach Blossom Village will have the opportunity to compete in this troubled world. ”

Su Yi said lightly: "Then have you thought about it, what is the biggest hidden danger we have right now?" ”
