Chapter 8: Will There Be Ghosts?

After coming out of Teng County, Zhao Tiehu took Tan Changze and others to the railway line for a turn, and arrived at Shanting Town, where Xishan Village is located, in the middle of the night. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoCompared to the garrison in the county, there are no little devils stationed in this town in front of me.

It's just that according to what Zhao Tiehu learned earlier, the town also has a town office guard, although the number is not large. But the guards of the town hall of about 30 people can at least deter the surrounding villages and make the villagers obey the arrangements of the town office.

Another duty of the guards is to maintain local security and eliminate some bandits who occupy the mountains. According to the news that Zhao Tiehu learned from the villagers, the puppet army of this guard did not dare to deal with the bandits at all.

Some surrounding villages are often plundered by bandits, and the guards of the town office have never taken the initiative to attack. As far as the gentry and rich men who lived in the town were concerned, as long as the bandits did not invade the town.

Looking at the town in front of him, which had quieted down, the team members who entered the town to reconnoiter and returned said: "Detachment leader, those puppet soldiers of the guards are sleeping like dead pigs, do you want to take the opportunity to take this town?" ”

'What to do with the takedown?' Is it interesting to kill a few yellowskins? Kill these yellowskins today, and tomorrow the little devils will recruit some yellowskins to come over. When the time comes, we will alarm the little devils and let the little devils pay attention here.

After the large army comes, we will find a way to get rid of the local tyrants and shoddy gentry in the town who are very angry with the people, and then try to win over some local well-known squires, and then push them to the front, and replace all the guards of the town hall with ours.

In this way, we will be able to completely bring the town in front of us under the noses of the little devils into our jurisdiction. Don't you think that such a plan will be more advantageous than taking the town now? ’

As Zhao Tiehu said his plan for the town in front of him, everyone heard that it really made sense. But there were still team members who said: "Detachment leader, will those local tyrants and inferior gentry listen to us?" ”

'Rest assured! In this world, there are naturally bad people and good people. For these rich and powerful squires, they only care about whether they can guarantee their own interests, and as for who they do things for, they are afraid and don't care very much.

I've told you before that fighting the little devils is a war that will last a long time. Relying on our ability alone, I'm afraid we won't be able to drive the little devils out of the country. Only by uniting the majority of the people will we be able to eliminate these aggressors in the shortest possible time. ’

After saying these words, Zhao Tiehu also said in a timely manner: "A few of you, you have been walking around the town more in the past few days and inquiring about the situation in the town." In addition, you can also go around the surrounding villages and gather some useful information.

There is also a need for you to reconnoitre, which is the den of bandits in the vicinity. After the large army comes, our first task is to suppress the bandits, first to suppress the nearby bandit nests, and then find a way to solve the matter of the town office guards. ”

'Yes, Captain! ’

After assigning tasks to several experienced scouts, Zhao Tiehu did not stay in the town for long. The group took advantage of the night to return to the mountains and forests next to Xishan Village, and soon saw the iron eggs that came back in advance to arm.

After some inquiry, Tie Dan also introduced the situation, but did not find that anyone came in advance. It's just a little strange that this evening, two villagers from the village who are often out have returned.

Zhao Tiehu, who heard this, thought for a while and said, "These two villages, tomorrow I will ask the villagers about their situation." If nothing else, these two people should be the ones sent by Scar Dog to touch our bottoms.

Of course, it is not ruled out that these two people were sent by little devils. Anyway, tomorrow everyone will be in good spirits. If Scar Dog delivers the goods, we will pay for the goods. If you want to mess with the ghost, then clean him up.

In addition, pay attention to the situation on the mountain pass, I am worried that after the news leaks, I am afraid that there will be little devils coming to ambush. For these people who walk the rivers and lakes, we must be cautious and careful in our dealings. In short, get ready for battle! ”

'Yes, Captain! ’

Although the purchased goods are much cheaper than the market price in Zhao Tiehu's opinion, they are actually not a loss for the Eighth Route Army. But if the scar dog is a ghost in the process of trading, Zhao Tiehu doesn't mind giving him some profound lessons.

Even from Tan Changze, he had heard some things about Scar Dog. For those hairy monkeys recruited, Scar Dog is more benevolent than others. When the little devils were chasing after them the last time, some of the hairy monkeys and scar dogs who were killed by the little devils were given a settlement fee.

It can't be denied that Scar Dog used these hairy monkeys under his command to make money, and when he was robbing business, he also killed many people. To these people, they are pitiful people who deserve to be agreed upon, but they are also hateful people.

Judging from the situation of going to that small village to reconnoiter today, Zhao Tiehu felt that it was very remote. But he believed that the little devil must have known about the existence of that den, but he didn't take action for the time being.

After all, during this time, the patrols of the little devils on the railway line were very frequent, and those hairy monkeys were taking refuge from the limelight. Nothing happened on the railway, and the little devils naturally wouldn't easily provoke these outlaws.

But today's appearance, once known by the little devil, the little devil is bound to be outstanding. It is also possible for the little devil who has recruited so many plainclothes spies to install some fine work under Scar Gouzi to ventilate the news for him.

Playing conspiracy and buying people's hearts, the little devil is still very powerful!

It was out of these concerns that Zhao Tiehu ordered his troops to be ready for battle. In Zhao Tiehu's opinion, even if the little devil news sent troops to ambush, it is estimated that the number of troops will not be too much, and he and his direct detachment should be able to deal with it.

It's just that such a dozen words will probably attract the attention of the little devils. Fortunately, there are not many villagers in Xishan Village, and in the mountains, the villagers rarely go out, and it is impossible for the little devils to stay here for a long time.

Even if the little devil wants to investigate Zhao Tiehu's matter, as long as the attacking little devil is wiped out, I believe that the little devil will not be able to find out anything. After waiting for a while, I believe that the little devil will not bother to investigate the matter here.

After everything was arranged, Zhao Tiehu and others rested in the mountains for one night, and repaired the location of the future detachment headquarters. Some trees were cut down to build barracks, and fortifications were built in the mountains.

This work will definitely not be completed in a short time, and there is a shortage of materials, so Zhao Tiehu is more just looking for something to do for everyone. In addition, continue to walk around the mountains to find out more about the surrounding mountains.

In this process, Zhao Tiehu and the soldiers of the subordinate detachment also occasionally hunted back to the camp to eat. For such a life, the fighters of the direct detachment were very satisfied. In their opinion, this kind of life does seem very comfortable.

When night fell again, after Zhao Tiehu and his entourage came out of the mountains, Tan Changze, who visited the village during the day, also talked about the situation of the visit during the day. It was concluded that the two young men who came back yesterday should be hairy monkeys.

So, these two guys were really sent by Scar Dog to touch our bottoms? ’

'It should be!' With such a large batch of goods, it is understandable that he would do this. Now there is not much time left before the transaction, so let's see if Scar Dog will come over first. During the day, the two villagers went out of the village again, and they should have delivered a letter. ’

After listening to Tan Changze's report, Zhao Tiehu nodded and said, "Tiedan, is there any situation around?" ”

'Not found yet! I've put the guard post five miles away, and if there is a situation, they will return immediately. In addition, the fortifications have been built, and if the little devils really want to come, they must not be able to eat and walk around. ’

'Good! Heighten your vigilance and wait a little longer! ’

Just when Zhao Tiehu and others were quietly waiting for the arrival of Scar Dog and his party, they found Scar Dog in the evening, and finally led people to transfer all the goods purchased by Zhao Tiehu to Xishan Village by trolley.

Compared to Zhao Tiehu's visit to the village yesterday, most of these people were unarmed. Many of the people in the team responsible for escorting the goods tonight were carrying guns. As the leader, the scar dog also has two guns pinned to his waist.

'Big brother, are you really going to trade there?' The one surnamed Hong, will there be a ghost? ’

I know it's dangerous! But if these goods are not sold as soon as possible, sooner or later they will cause us trouble. The most important thing is that we still want to do this business, and we will definitely pick up more little devils in the future.

If this person surnamed Hong can really eat the goods we picked, then this is also a way to make a fortune. We can't get in touch with foreign companies, but I know that the foreign companies in the city accept those people's goods at a cheaper price than we sell.

In our line of work, the head itself is pinned to the waistband of the trousers. If you want to make money, how can you do it without taking some risks? The one surnamed Hong doesn't look like a bad guy either. As for the old altar, I've heard some things about him, at least he's not the same as the little devil. ’

'What do you mean?' ’

I don't know exactly who it is, but he's certainly not from the little devil's side. I heard those people in the city say that Laotan's family was killed by the little devils, and even he himself was wanted by the little devils! This man is not simple! ’

It was precisely because he knew some things about Tan Changze that Scar Gouzi chose to take risks to do this business. After all, he has to feed so many subordinates, how can he settle these subordinates if he doesn't have any money in his hand?

If he didn't have these people working for him, what would he do? In the final analysis, it is at least better to be a hairy monkey on the railway line than to go into the mountains and be a bandit to rob homes.

By the time Scar Gouzi and his entourage arrived at the entrance of Xishan Village, Zhao Tiehu, who had already learned the news, was already waiting at the entrance of the village. Looking at Zhao Tiehu's side, there were a few more fierce young people with guns on their backs than during the day, and Scar Gouzi also stepped forward in spirit.

After inspecting the goods, Zhao Tiehu was also very clean and neat, and asked people to bring up the money prepared. Looking at the current ocean in the wooden box, Scar Dog and a group of delivery men also looked very happy.

It's just that just as Scar Gouzi was about to leave, a person from Zhao Tiehu's side whispered a few words to him. Zhao Tiehu, who heard this, looked at the scar dog who was immersed in joy, and felt that this matter should have nothing to do with him!
