Changbai Mountain, Feiyunling, Zhishi Village.

This is a piece of inaccessible barren mountains and mountains, full of endless jungles, because here is two hundred miles away from the nearest town, so even the farmers who rely on the mountains to eat, are rarely here, so when Wang Bo received Xu Gai's order, sneaked back to his hometown to incite rebellion, he took a fancy to this place at a glance, thanks to Xu Gai's strong support in the early stage, thousands of strong men secretly operated in this deep mountain and old forest for several months, before building such a cottage with a radius of more than ten miles, It connects the three or four surrounding hills.

At the beginning, Wang Bo's subordinates were only more than a thousand outlaws secretly supported by Xu Gai, most of these people were veteran sergeants from the army, and after returning to their hometowns, they committed capital crimes such as murder and were forced to flee, and were taken in by Xu Gai, an ambitious underworld hero, on the one hand, he was grateful for his life-saving grace, on the other hand, his wife and children were hostages in Xujiazhuang, so he could only obey Wang Bo's orders wholeheartedly.

There has never been a government soldier here in Qi County, only more than 10,000 troops brought to maintain law and order as a county guard, which are not elite, and the weapons and equipment are also outdated, compared to Wang Bo's operation for a year, and Xu Gai's secret supply of ordnance to the Changbai Mountain bandits, there is no advantage at all, plus Wang Bo is familiar with the terrain, several times ambushed, this is a succession of victories, so that the officers and soldiers of Qi County are frightened, dare not fight.

On the other hand, Yang Guang's tyranny gave Wang Bo a steady stream of soldiers, and those few songs of the undirected Liaodong Lang Death Song have spread in the land of Qilu and even in Hebei, and more and more Ding men who do not want to be exhausted by military service and forced labor have fled to join Wang Bo's camp. Now it's just his Zhishi Village. There are no less than 30,000 strong. As Wang Bo's plate became bigger and bigger, he simply cut down all the more than 100 miles of woods between several mountains and made a huge military camp, enough to accommodate 100,000 people, and trained these new soldiers every day, teaching them the methods of battle formations, the way of advancing and retreating, and waiting for the army to reach 100,000. It officially went down the mountain and attacked the city and plundered the county.

Xu Gai's face wore a bronze mask, accompanied by Xu Shiji, who also wore a mask, walking in this village, this is the first time since the establishment of Zhishi Village, he personally came here, seeing his unexpected move a year ago, it has received such an effect, his heart can't help but sigh.

Wang Bo is a man in his early thirties with a big white face. On his left arm was a cyan birthmark the size of a copper coin, with several thick black bristles growing on it. Mixed in with a pile of dragon flying tiger tattoos, it is obviously particularly eye-catching, and he is also clever enough to use this birthmark as the tiger's eye tattooed on his left arm, but when you look closely, it will always make people feel a little weird.

Xu Gai stopped, looking at a large open space hundreds of steps away, more than 1,000 Ding Zhuang, wearing uniform black power suits, holding sticks and pitchforks in their hands, under the leadership of several leaders who were heavily armed and wearing chain mail, practicing routines one by one.

Xu Gai smiled slightly, pointed to this team of strong men, and said: "Wang Zhai Master (he used to call Wang Bo Xiaowang, but since Wang Bo repeatedly defeated the official army, he changed his name to call him Wang Zhai Master), how long ago did these brothers come?" Where are the people? ”

Wang Bo said: "Oh, they, they have only been in the village for a month, and they are all people near Laizhou, saying that it is really not a human thing to repair the ship there, so they took the opportunity to transport the corpse and secretly ran out, and they came to us for four or five hundred miles, and it is not easy to get old, and their families are afraid that they have been poisoned by Sui Gou, and it is impossible to go back, and they all want to fight with Sui Gou to take revenge." ”

Xu Gai nodded: "Look at their enthusiasm, there is a murderous and ruthless spirit, we must make good use of these people who come to take refuge, and distinguish which people are here to eat, and which people are really desperate, the former is used as a meat shield and consumables when fighting, while the latter is trained to be elite, try to keep it, and will use it in the future." ”

Wang Bo said proudly: "Lord, now there are 30,000 elite soldiers in the village, no one is here to mix rice, Sui Dog is not as difficult to fight as imagined, I think it is the Eagle Yang Lang of Naqi County Tang Xiaofang, but that's it, now his head is still hanging at the door of our cottage, or we will go down the mountain now and take down Licheng, so that Qilu will definitely shake, and more people will join us." ”

A cold look flashed in Xu Gai's eyes, and he turned his head to look at Wang Bo, Wang Bo has been by Xu Gai's side for many years, even if he has now become the master of a village, he still has a lot of awe of Xu Gai psychologically, and he is speechless when he stares at him like this.

Xu Gai sighed: "Lord Wangzhai, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, Sui Dog is still very strong, you must not take this rabble of Qi County to replace the strength of the entire Sui Dynasty, because this is the hometown of the Northern Qi Dynasty, Sui Dog is afraid that the people here will rebel, so he never sets up government soldiers, nor strengthens armaments, this is the reason why we can take advantage of a little bit now, if the main force of Guanzhong of the Sui Dynasty comes to encircle and suppress, our stockade will definitely not be able to keep it." ”

Xu Gai looked at Wang Bo and said nothing, but his expression was quite disapproving, he shook his head, and continued: "And now Yang Guang is recruiting elites from all over the country, gathering in Zhuo County, preparing to attack Goguryeo in a big way, if we make too much trouble now, attract Yang Guang's attention, and let him send a main force to come, it will not be a good thing for us." ”

"Qi County is an important place, to the east can threaten Yang Guang's naval army troops to conquer Goguryeo, and to the north you can unite with Hebei colleagues to capture Yang Guang's general rear base Zhuo County, so we are not a good time to go down the mountain now, and when Yang Guang's army is trapped in Goguryeo and there are no soldiers in the interior, it is the time for our tigers to go down the mountain and capture Zhuo County!"

Wang Bo didn't understand these military affairs, so he scratched his head: "But we have already killed the Sui Army Ying Yang Lang General of Qi County, can the officials of Qi County hide such a big thing?" That Tang Xiaofang's official residence is not a Peng Xiaowei who can only lead more than a thousand people! ”

Xu Shiji's rough and low voice has not yet completely turned into a man, and some young and immature voices sounded: "Lord Wang Zhai, since Yang Guang ascended the throne, he has killed virtuous people and cut off the way of speech, the mountain here is high and the emperor is far away, Yang Guang is not interested, I dare to bet with you, that Qijun County Shouyuan Wendu, absolutely dare not report this matter, let alone ask the court for troops to encircle and suppress, he just wants to shrink in Licheng, and mix it up for a day." So now, we should accumulate food and strength, and wait for the situation to change! (To be continued......)
