Early the next morning, Xia Yue led fifty scouts to set off first, Zhuang Yi immediately arranged for the soldiers to pull out the camp, and more than 4,000 empty war horses were also divided into some loads to carry groceries.

Two days later, we arrived at a bend in the White Wolf Mountain, if we continue to follow the river bank to the northeast, we can go directly to Yingzhou, but the river is winding, so it will be much farther. But take the Qinglong Mountain in the north to Yingzhou is to take a straight line, although it is closer, but the road is very difficult to walk. Zhuang Yi asked Duan Zhongzhong to discuss it, and finally decided to camp here to rest and wait for the scout to come back to make plans.

When it was almost dark, Xia Yue only came back with ten horses, and he hurriedly found Zhuang Yiyu and reported: "Lang Jun! I found Xiao Bald's lair and came back with two tongues, do you want to see it? ”

"Where are the people? Take a look at the ...... Tell me about the specific situation......"

"According to the confession of those two tongues, Xiao Bald led people down the mountain a few days ago, and there are not many people in their village now, so I left someone there to keep an eye on it, and rushed back first." Xia Yue said honestly, as the background of King Xi's tooth tent guard, he is familiar with all kinds of rules, so he didn't say much at this time.

"Haha...... So we can take advantage of the situation and wait for the rabbit. Zhuang Yi laughed.

After a short time, in the small tent where the "tongue" was held, two unkempt people were tied up like rice dumplings, and they were lying on the ground humming. Xia Yue stepped forward and grabbed them one by one, and dragged them straight in front of Zhuang Yi. Zhuang Yi stretched out his toes to pick up the two people's messy hair, and then he saw that it was actually an old man and a young man, and it seemed that they were two Hu people.

"You should be able to understand what they are saying, ask them, how many people did Xiao Bald take down the mountain, and where did they go? How many people are still in their village, and do they have any important belongings? Zhuang Yi turned his head to Xia Yue and said.

Xia Yue nodded, and then began to ask the two people lying on the ground, after a babbling conversation between the three of them, Xia Yue looked happy, and said to Zhuang Yi with a smile: "They said that Xiao Bald went to Yingzhou half a month ago, took away three hundred horses, and there are more than two hundred people in the village, as for the property, they are small minions, and they don't know at all." ”

"It seems...... We're going to have to make a fortune. Zhuang Yi laughed.

The next morning, Zhuang Yi confessed to Duan Zhongzhong and asked him to lead his men and horses to the northeast along the White Wolf Water, while he led two battalions to leave the brigade and march towards Qinglong Mountain in the north. There were scouts to guide the way, and they arrived at Xiao Bald's lair that afternoon.

This is a valley in Qinglong Mountain, Zhuang Yi garrison here to rest for a while, and wait until dusk, personally led a hundred soldiers from the small road detour, straight to the mountain behind the big village; Xia Yue led the remaining troops to sneak attack from the front door of the cottage and took the cottage effortlessly.

Zhuang Yi ordered Xia Yue to rearrange the defensive forces, and took all the prisoners to the open space in front of the hall and counted them, there were two hundred and fifteen people, and these thieves were also very complicated, there were all of them, most of them were habitual thieves, and there were few good birds.

Among them, there are two small leaders, one is the Khitan Ju Li, who is in his thirties, with a stout body, and two small eyes have been staring at Zhuang Yi fiercely, and they are shining fiercely from time to time; The other person was a Bohai man, named Gao Baonu, who was tall and fair-skinned, and looked very young. He looked low and pleasing to the eyes, and secretly looked at the soldiers behind Zhuang Yi from time to time, obviously not figuring out the situation yet.

Looking at the captives in front of him who were tied with their hands tied, sitting or standing, Zhuang Yi had a headache, such a thief was reorganized into the army. Although his own people were also thieves, most of them have families and don't have too much scab, so these people are different.

"Your name is Gao Baonu, right? How old is this year, how many years have you been a thief? Zhuang Yi asked with a cold face.

The two little leaders glanced at each other, and Ju Li snorted coldly, don't look away. Gao Baonu hesitated for a moment, raised his head, stared at Zhuang Yi with squinted eyes, and replied: "A certain is Gao Baonu, twenty-five years old, a thief for three years, and has killed and robbed countless people. You...... Who is it? ”

"Haha...... Me? Youzhou Zhuang Yi is, this time I led the army to Yingzhou, just to clear you by the way. Honestly reply to my words and give you a way to live, otherwise, you know! Zhuang Yi smiled coldly and said, "Where did Xiao Bald go?" When will you be back? ”

The two leaders exchanged glances with each other again, but neither of them would squeak.

"A few of them resisted fiercely just now, looking fierce and vicious, they must not be good goods, pull them out and cut them!" Zhuang Yi coldly ordered.

Xia Yue smiled, immediately understood, turned around and took the soldiers to pick a few of the prisoners and pulled them out, and those few were pulled out of the prisoners, and at this time they also understood that the situation was not good, and they were suddenly frightened and wailed like pigs. Soon, the howling stopped abruptly, and five or six bloody human heads were thrown in front of the two minor leaders.

Zhuang Yi kept looking at it with a smile, he thought that these two people must be scared to pee, and then kowtow like chickens pecking rice and begging for mercy, but no. The two little leaders didn't change their faces, Ju Li looked up at the sky, and Gao Baonu looked down at his toes.

"Haha...... Interesting! Kasumigashi! Pull this Ju Li out and cut it, I don't like this person! Zhuang Yi shouted.

"What are you doing, I haven't offended you! I will descend to you! I want to descend to you! At this time, Ju Li panicked and exclaimed loudly.

"It's too late! Take ...... away" Zhuang Yi really doesn't like this Khitan who looks like a dwarf stump, and he doesn't really want to surrender. Seeing this, Xia Yue stepped forward without hesitation and took the two soldiers to take Ju Li away.

"I'll go! You continue to be calm! Zhuang Yi looked at Gao Baonu like a cat and mouse and smiled.

"I ...... I am willing to reply to your words, Xiao Bald has been going to Anshi Prefecture for more than half a month, and he may come back in a few days! If you wait a few days, you will be able to arrest him. Gao Baonu replied cautiously.

"That's right! You follow me well, and I won't treat you badly! Didn't you say that Xiao Bald went to Yingzhou, that ...... Where is the state of Anshi? ”

"Anshi Prefecture is south of Liaodong City, and it was the jurisdiction of the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate, where there were many Bohai people and Goryeo people, and Xiao Bald went there to sell goods."

"Aha...... That's great! You know what to do! Can you restrain these people? ”

"I can naturally restrain them......" Gao Baonu said with some confusion, in fact, he wanted to show his loyalty, but he couldn't say such things.

"You take care of the treasury or something, and then count it when you clean up Xiao Bald. You follow me and do a good job! Soon you will have a great future! Zhuang Yi laughed, reached out and patted Gao Baonu's shoulder, and turned to arrange for the soldiers to camp and rest.
