Zhang Yuan was pushed to the justice hall with his face covered. He was accompanied by Wang Yue, the former general of the battalion under Nie Shicheng.

It is said to be a righteous hall, but in fact it is just a stone house that can shelter from the wind and rain, and there are all kinds of tables and chairs inside, and nothing else.

"Zhang Yuan! How dare you come back? The leader of the bandits, who was sitting in the high position, stared at him and gritted his teeth.

"Thank goodness you're actually back. Do you think I'm steaming you? Or is it better to barbecue? ”

Zhang Yuan pulled away the black cloth absently, blinked his eyes and adjusted to the light in the room.

"This is Liu Yidao, his knife is very fast, and it is said that he never uses a second knife to kill." Zhang Yuan said more: "It's a pity that it's not my opponent." ”

"Liu Yidao, you were not my opponent before, and you will not be my opponent in the future."

Liu Yidao has a leopard's head and tiger eyes, and his eyes are like electricity. The stout right hand instantly grasped the hilt of the sword. He laughed angrily.

"Very good, it seems that you have found a big backer! How dare you appear in front of me. ”

"It's just that you kill innocents in vain, none of us have clean hands. But if you kill even your own people, what kind of hero are you? Zhang Yuan asked unceremoniously.

"The two of them are angry." Wang Yue persuaded dryly, but unfortunately no one paid attention.

"In this world, either you kill me, or I kill you. If it weren't for Lao Tzu's painstaking management, you Zhang Yuan would have been killed ten years ago! If it weren't for your father's bitter pleading before he died, would you still be where you are today? You actually talk to Lao Tzu about innocence? Are there innocent people under this world? Liu Yidao asked angrily: "Ask the brothers outside the door, who is not a broken family, who is not licking blood with a knife?" If you go and ask all the ministers in the court, which one is really innocent? ”

"So we're all going to die, and we're going to die terrible." Zhang Yuan looked at Liu Yidao leisurely: "It depends on how you die!" ”

Wang Yue looked at Zhang Yuan and then at Liu Yidao and smiled bitterly: "What personal enmity do the two of you have, can you wait a while?" Brother Zhang, it's a big deal. ”

Poor Wang Yue, people in his forties, actually called Zhang Yuan, who was in his thirties, his eldest brother.

Zhang Yuan snorted and didn't reply. Liu Yidao squinted at Wang Yue: "Who are you?" ”

Wang Yue's face turned pale, and he took out an official document from his arms and handed it over.

Liu walked down with a loud knife and took a look at it.

"What the hell do you want to recruit An Laozi?"

Wang Yue just smiled faintly: "Zhao'an? Do you deserve it too? ”

Liu Yidao smiled casually: "Hehe, you are really bold." ”

"I'm not consulting you, I'm giving orders. Please consider arriving at the designated location at the specified time, if there is one missing, then the whole village will be killed. Wang Yue said flatly.

"Kill or kill, what a big breath. What is the origin of the brother? Liu Yidao asked with a calm face. Being able to say the four words "kill" can show the strength of the other party.

"Liu Yidao, you'd better go out and have a look." Wang Yue scoffed.

Before Liu Yidao could speak, a little brother outside the door rushed in with a shout: "Big brother, big brother, it's not good." ”

Liu kicked the little brother to the ground with a knife.

"Speak well."

"Big brother, it's really not good. There's a big thing in the sky outside, I don't know what it is. The younger brother replied excitedly.

Liu Yidao frowned, ignored Zhang Yuan and Wang Yue, and went straight out.

That thing in the sky is really a big thing. Big stuff you've never seen before!

"Airship!" Liu Yidao is not an ordinary bandit, he can make a huge name in the Mongolian steppe, and his mind is not something that ordinary people can do. The airship has been known to the world since Beijing's strategy. He had also heard about it in newspapers and teahouses. But didn't expect it to come here!

Thinking of Wang Yue, Liu Yidao's face turned black into the bottom of the pot. Of course, the Mongolian steppe cannot be all grasslands, there are also mountains, for example, Liu Yidao's base camp is in this small mountain. The mountains are not high, and there are not many people who can hide. If the airship wants to drop bombs, its own men will definitely have to blow up the nest. Even the Eight-Nation Coalition had to bomb the camp after several waves of bombs dropped by airships, and Liu Yidao did not believe that his subordinates were more powerful than the Eight-Nation Alliance. As long as the troops bomb the camp, Yamashita is arranging a hundred and eighty gunmen, and I believe that all of his subordinates will die here. This is how the Eight-Nation Coalition was defeated.

"Hu Shanshi!" Liu stabbed word by word. According to common sense, Hu Xiaoyan, the governor of the two provinces, is high and has nothing to do with himself, a small bandit on the Mongolian steppe. So Liu Yidao didn't understand Hu Xiaoyan's actions.

His heart was dripping blood. As for it? I'm just a bandit, and even though I have three or four hundred men on hand and five or six hundred horses, I won't let you use a big weapon like an airship, right? You're so hateful that you kill them all?

"Master Liu, have you thought about it? There's still a lot of ground to run. Zhang Yuan scoffed.

Liu Yidao ignored Zhang Yuan, but looked at the official document again.

"On the third day of the first month of March, the various departments will gather at the location shown on the map below, and those who do not meet the deadline will be killed."

"Who the hell are you?" Liu Yidao no longer cares about Zhang Yuan's little enmity. Now he cares about the way he and his brothers go.

"In Xia Wang Yue, it's just an unknown small role under Governor Hu." Wang Yue solemnly introduced: "From now on, all the horse bandits on the entire prairie must obey orders, it doesn't matter in normal times, you must complete the task unconditionally and by unscrupulous means." That's the bottom line. If you can't do it, there will be no place for you to be in charge of Liu Da in the heavens and the earth. ”

"You threaten me!" Liu Yidao gritted his teeth.

"You're not worthy!" Zhang Yuan sneered: "How many people are you, it's worth our trouble." ”

"A swarm of bees? Are you going to find a swarm of bees? Liu Yidao blurted out.

A swarm of bees is the largest group of horse bandits in the Mongolian steppe, with more than 2,000 bandits, and many small bandit gangs that have broken the silk and broken silk, and they can really use more than 5,000 troops. Even the average small tribe on the steppe has to pay a conservation fee.

"You want guides!"

"You're not stupid!" Zhang Yuan sneered. It has not been a day or two since a swarm of bees roamed the Mongolian steppe, but under the news of the people, whether it is the Manchu Qing Dynasty or the Mongolian army, they have never managed to swarm the bees, but have been defeated by them. However, the swarm also has a cleverness, they only target merchants and forces who have not paid protection money. Even if other bandits come to disrupt the order, they will send troops to recruit them. The swarm is no longer a horse bandit, but a local separatist force. Countless Mongolian nobles gnash their teeth at a swarm of bees, and countless Mongolian nobles welcome a swarm of bees. Even within the Manchu Qing Dynasty, there were people who had a good impression of a swarm of bees.

"You're crazy." Liu Yidao laughed, but quickly silenced. He himself understands that since Hu Xiaoyan, the governor, has even used airships, then he will definitely not let go of a swarm of bees, no matter whether a swarm of bees is good or hungry. Because a swarm of bees must have stood in the way of the iron-blooded governor. Since ancient times, the people have not fought with officials, and no matter how strong they are, they are only mobs. In the past, some people reported to a swarm of bees because it was people in the system who dealt with the swarm. To put it mildly, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was just preparing to send troops, and even the soldiers had not yet left the capital, and the people who delivered the news had already entered the prairie. But that Governor Hu was different.

Liu Yidao licked his dry lips bitterly. The big bandits who are familiar with the affairs of the world and "have great ambitions" certainly understand the power of Governor Hu! That is the only person in the country who dares to fight with foreigners, and can still win! Hu Xiaoyan's basic plate is in Anhui, but he was assigned to the two northeastern provinces to be the governor, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that the imperial court is tabooing him. So he was deliberately transferred there and let him merge with the Japanese and Russian fires. If Hu Xiaoyan loses three times with Japan and Russia, it will be the best.

But Governor Hu is so easy to deal with? Liu Yidao didn't believe it. There are now many storytellers in the major teahouses, and they have made up a lot of jokes about this iron-blooded governor. In short, this Governor Hu is eight feet tall and has a waist circumference of eight feet, and he eats 100 catties of foreigners' flesh and drinks 30 catties of foreigners' blood every day. A big knife weighs 180 pounds, a gun weighs 100 pounds, and a bullet can't even stop the mountain.

Liu Yidao has read books, and of course he doesn't believe these rumors in the market. He concluded that the Governor was determined to do whatever was good for him, even if it would lead to serious consequences. As long as he doesn't want to do it, even if it can bring him millions of profits, he won't be tempted. This started from the fact that he could help defend the city of Beijing, but he didn't defend it, but sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight, and waited until the coalition army entered the city, he occupied the city gate urn to catch turtles, and wiped out the eight-nation coalition army.

Liu Yidao is familiar with the art of war, and of course he knows that Hu Xiaoyan's approach is correct. The Eight-Nation Coalition has nearly 100,000 troops, and even with airships, it is easy to defeat the coalition forces, but it is difficult to capture the coalition forces. Because airships are a weapon in positional warfare. If the coalition forces spread their feet and run all over the mountains, how will you catch them? 100,000 pigs have run out, and it is extremely difficult for you to catch them, let alone 100,000 people? Therefore, the best way to deal with it is to introduce the Eight-Nation Alliance into Beijing City and use the walls of Beijing City to besiege them inside.

The commander of the Japanese army, Dashanyan, also saw this and used the attack method of mercury to disperse tens of thousands of Japanese troops into a stream and scatter them to Jilin Province. No matter how powerful the airship is, it can't do anything in the face of scattered troops. Airships are not airplanes, and there are no missiles in this era.

Airships have always been unconventional weapons used to attack positional warfare, just as missiles are only offensive weapons used to attack positional warfare or deterrent weapons used to blow up valuable targets. The same is true for airships, which are powerless in the face of small forces that are very mobile or have fewer than 10,000 troops. You think that with an airship you can do whatever you want, you are so wrong.

Liu Yidao hesitated. Since Zhang Yuan and Wang Yue came to him, then they will definitely be able to take down themselves, and there will be no luck. If he was just asked to take refuge in Hu Xiaoyan, he could agree on the spot. No one wants to be a horse bandit for the rest of their lives. But let him deal with a swarm of bees?
