Chapter 1228: Old Nine's Intelligence
More than a dozen villages under the control of Black Wolf Village have been unable to squeeze out food, and in the face of increasingly difficult days, these bandit leaders are worried.
"Big boss, I heard that Luo Wangzhai's life is moist, why don't we serve them?"
Faced with the silent crowd, the leader of one of the bandits thought about it and made a suggestion of his own.
After hearing the suggestion of this bandit leader, the rest of the people all had their eyes lit up, and secretly scolded themselves for not thinking of this layer.
They are bandits with more than 300 horses, and since they can't get supplies from the local villages, can the living still suffocate their urine to death?
"I think it's okay, the last time the people of Luowangzhai crossed the border and robbed one of our villages, they haven't counted it, and this time they just served them in a pot and grabbed their territory." Some bandit leaders immediately expressed their approval.
"I think we still have to be cautious about this, there are more than 200 people in Luowangzhai, although there are fewer than us, but I heard that they bought two mortars from the defeated soldiers, it is not a joke."
Although some people suggested that another bandit den should be closed, some bandit leaders expressed concern and felt that it was better to be cautious.
"I don't approve of fighting Luowangzhai either, let's not talk about the other party's two mortars, even if there are no mortars, I'm afraid we will fight and lose."
A bandit leader looked around and said, "Let's not compete with each other for profit, the surrounding stockades are not good things, and they will definitely come up to pick up the bargain when the time comes." ”
"But if we don't find food as soon as possible, the brethren will have to drink the northwest wind." One of the bandit leaders shouted.
Jiao Chong, the big boss of the Black Wolf Village, faced the noisy crowd, but he also frowned and didn't speak, he was weighing the pros and cons.
Now there is not much food in the stockade, and it will not last for a few days, and if it continues like this and no new supplies are found, I am afraid that the stockade will really break up.
Jiao Chong, the big boss, finally pulled up such a vote of people, and he hasn't enjoyed a good life for a few days, how can he be willing to break up like this.
However, in this mountainous area, the land is barren, and there are many bandits around, so it is not easy to find food.
"Great boss, brothers, I'm back."
Just as everyone was around the dinner table discussing how to get food, a fierce bandit with two box cannons pinned to his waist walked in from outside.
Seeing this bandit who exuded a fierce atmosphere, everyone got up and greeted each other with a smile: "It turns out that the ninth brother is back, have you eaten, hurry up and take a seat." ”
The bandits who came back this time are also one of the bandit leaders of the Black Wolf Village, the ninth in line, and this time they are responsible for going out of the mountain to purchase salt and ammunition.
"Did it go out smoothly?"
Looking at Lao Jiu, who was in the dust, and as soon as Lao Jiu sat down, the rest of the bandits asked with concern.
After sitting down, Lao Jiu also told the truth: "This time I am ashamed of the trust of the big boss and the brothers, the little devil is tightly blocked, this time I only bought back 2,000 catties of salt, 1,000 rifle bullets, and 800 machine gun bullets......
Although they were bandits, they also did business, transporting salt and other things from outside to the mountains and selling them to other stockades, which could make a lot of money.
But this time, when I heard that I got back 2,000 catties of salt, all the leaders felt that it was too little, and they couldn't sell much if they wanted to sell it for money.
"The ninth brother has worked hard, come on, bring two jars of wine from the wine we got back last time, and wash the dust for our ninth brother."
As the saying goes, there is no merit and hard work, and it is not easy to take a huge risk to get these things outside the mountain, Jiao Chong, the big boss, immediately smiled and commanded loudly to the people below.
Soon, some bandits brought up a few jars of old wine, sealed the mud and slapped it open, and a smell of wine spread.
The bandit leaders had a bowl for each person, and with the collision of the wine bowls, the wine was drunk, and the atmosphere in the room became active again.
Lao Jiu, who had been out of the mountain, drank and told what he had seen and heard along the way, and the leaders were all shouting in horror.
And when Lao Jiu asked about the recent situation of the cottage, the bandit leaders also told each other truthfully,
"Our village is running out of food?"
Hearing that the grain in the village had bottomed out, Lao Jiu was also stunned, he remembered that when he left, there was a mountain of food and drink, and it was only the rest of the month to see the bottom.
"We have so many mouths to eat in the village, and we haven't gone out these days, no matter how many things we have, we will eat up for a day, we are trying to find a way to get it, you just came back, rest for a few days, don't worry about the food."
Jiao Chong, the big boss, did not blame the waste for mismanagement, but only vaguely said a reason.
"The big boss, you will see the outside when you say this, we said that we were blessed and enjoyed together, but now the village is in difficulty, how can I stand by and watch." Lao Jiu hurriedly waved his hand.
"Then Ninth Brother, do you have any solution to the problem of food?" Jiao Chong, the big boss, didn't fold now, so he could only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and asked tentatively.
"Not to mention, I really know a way to get food, but I have to take a little risk." Lao Jiu thought about it for a while and replied.
Hearing that Lao Jiu really had a solution to the food shortage, all the leaders turned their eyes to it in unison.
"Let's beg for a living, where to care about the risks, Ninth Brother, you just say it."
Jiao Chong didn't expect Lao Jiu to really have a way, just like a drowning person grasping a life-saving straw, he hurriedly asked.
Lao Jiu didn't hide it, and said: "On the way back, I heard that the Northern Jiangsu guerrilla corps occupying the Huaiyin area was defeated by devils, and now they are fleeing for their lives in our mountains, they are carrying not only food, but also countless guns and ammunition......
After hearing Lao Jiu's words, the faces of all the leaders became solemn.
"That's the Chongqing government army, and I heard that the guerrilla corps in northern Jiangsu has a lot of generals, if we pay attention to them, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right?"
Some bandit leaders retreated, feeling that the risk was not ordinary.
"There are many soldiers and generals, and they are all old yellow calendars, and now thousands of devils are chasing them, they have suffered heavy losses, and those who escaped have become lost dogs, so there is nothing to be afraid of." Lao Jiu swore and said.
Jiao Chong, the big boss, was still relatively cautious, and after pondering for a moment, he asked, "Old Jiu, is the information reliable?" ”
"The big boss, the intelligence is absolutely reliable, and they are now heading for our mountains." Lao Jiu's face flashed with a sinister color and said: "If we can eat them in one bite and get the gold, silver, jewelry, ammunition and food they brought out from Huaiyin, then we can recruit troops and horses again, and then this Lunan Mountain will be our world." ”
Hearing the prospect depicted by Lao Jiu, all the bandit leaders were short of breath, and they were excited when they thought that they could dominate Lu Nan.
"When the time comes, let's eat and drink spicy food, what do we want, it's time to enjoy happiness."
"But if we beat them, wouldn't we fall into the well and help the devil?" There were also ringleaders who objected.
"Hmph, now there are wars everywhere, our Black Wolf Village wants to dominate one side, and the brothers want to live a good life, so they have to be ruthless, but they can't have the kindness of a woman."
