Mr. Liu and Wang Dawang returned to their foothold, returned to their residence, and their entourage came to report: "Sure enough, the head of the family has calculated it, Lankouju really sent someone to Ruoxian County to ask to see the thief Cao, but the matter was exposed, and he was killed on the way."

"If you can't get any news of this person, Lankouju will definitely strengthen their guards. However, these heroes are going to Lankou tonight, and whether this person kills or not, it doesn't matter much to our affairs. ”

"Is the head of the family going to watch the battle too?"

Mr. Liu looked outside and said, "I'm afraid that the person surnamed Wang won't let me leave, and he will definitely take me to Lankouju." If you win, everyone will rejoice, and if you lose, you will break off. It just so happens that I also want to see if these heroes can fight and if they can be used by me to prepare for the future. Listening to the tone of the surnamed Wang, helping me this time can be regarded as repaying me for saving his life. And if he asks him to do something, he will come out with gold. ”

At this time, an attendant came in and reported: "King Wang sent his men to protect Mr. Liu. They have surrounded the house of the head of the house. Mr. Liu's entourage showed an angry look on his face, and Mr. Liu said, "Since someone surnamed Wang has sent someone to protect me, you should also go down to rest and recuperate." ”

Wei Bo rubbed his right eye, looked at the people who had worked all day and left with their wages, and couldn't help but sigh. When he woke up early this morning, he was a little restless and couldn't do things with peace of mind, so he came out to check the situation in various warehouses. At noon, his right eye began to jump, at first, Wei Bo didn't care, but after many times, he couldn't help but panic, so he called Wei Zhong and Uncle Wei and asked them to send Minfu's wages, let Minfu finish work and leave early, and strengthen the vigilance of each warehouse.

Wei Zhong hesitated a little: "Yesterday we strengthened our vigilance, and today we will strengthen our vigilance, can my brother give a reason, I have an explanation for the following, otherwise it will make people panic." ”

Wei Bo asked, "Have the people we sent to Ruoxian come back?" ”

Uncle Wei replied, "No." Will there be a delay? ”

"I prefer to believe that something happened to this person," Wei Bo said, "Lankou gathered in Ruoxian County for only a hundred miles, and it only took three hours to ride back and forth on horseback, and now it's almost a day, but there is no news, I'm just afraid that ......" The latter words were not said, Wei Zhong and Uncle Wei understood what he meant. The expressions on the faces of the two also changed, and they got up and replied, "We will immediately order to go down and strengthen our vigilance tonight." ”

Wei Bo said: "This matter is not urgent. I want to gather the leaders of the guards of the Kong family and Wangjiazhuang and tell them about the current situation, so that they can be prepared, what do you two think? ”

Wei Zhong and Uncle Wei looked at each other: "This is very good, so as not to catch everyone off guard when the matter comes." ”

Wei Bo looked at the people sent by the Kong family and the Wang family standing in the tent: "You are all elites selected from the Kong family and the Wang family. The two heads of the two families sent you to protect this place, not only because this place is related to the future of the Wang family, but also because it is related to the future planning of the Kong family. Wei Zhong and Uncle Wei spread out a map of Nanjun, and Wei Bo tapped Dangyang with a wooden stick: "Now the descendants of the Wang family and the Kong family are all serving as officials, if they do a good job, being Yang Chang is just the beginning; If something happens, being the sun is over. And what kind of results they get depends on your performance. They're good, you're good, they're finished, you're finished. ”

These leaders of the Wang family and the Kong family, look at me, I look at you, when they were sent here, they were already told that they would listen to the three old men in everything. After the three of them arrived, they managed Lankouju tightly and orderly, and everyone was also convinced. And the reason why everyone was sent to Lankouju was to help Wang An and Kong Xun manage Dangyang County. If something happens to Dangyang, Wang An and Kong Xun's careers will be over, and everyone's future can be imagined. So everyone said in unison: "Sir has something, just tell me." ”

Wei Bo said: "Someone came here yesterday in the name of Ruoxian thief Cao, and everyone must know about it." The crowd nodded. It's just that the old man has suspicions, we have been here for two months, if the county has never turned a blind eye, why did he suddenly send someone here? So yesterday I sent someone to Ruoxian to meet the thief Cao, but unfortunately this person has not come back yet. ”

Lankou gathered closer to Ruoxian County than to Dangyang County, and everyone went to Ruoxian County to look for flowers and ask willows, first, the distance was close, and secondly, Dangyang County was under the rule of Wang An, and everyone had a little scruples. One day is enough time for everyone to run several round-trips. Since the person didn't come back, something might have happened. It's no wonder that the people should leave early, if the thieves attack, these people will be a burden, and maybe there are thieves in them.

Wei Bo pointed to the map and said: "The money and grain transported from Nanyang to Dangyang are unloaded here in Lankouju, this matter has been done for more than a month, and it should have reached the ears of the bandits, and the thieves closest to Lankouju are nested here." Weber nodded to the Green Forest Mountain.

Someone asked, "How many thieves are there in Green Forest Mountain?" ”

Uncle Wei replied casually: "Eight thousand children are indispensable. Everyone couldn't help but take a breath, and the total number of guards in the blue mouth gathering was more than 300 people, and this was to be one for thirty.

Wei Zhong interjected: "Rest assured, everyone, although there are many bandits in the Green Forest Mountain, they are not subordinate to each other, and they are wary of each other, and the bandits who can be dispatched are about half. ”

"How does Mr. know about Green Forest Mountain?"

Wei Bo said: "In order to avoid disaster, the three of us once hid in the Green Forest Mountain, and stayed there for nearly ten years, until His Majesty ascended the throne and granted amnesty to the world. Everyone was carefully selected by the Wang family and the Kong family, and they are still afraid of those rabble? Everyone also knows that there are still two places of soldiers in Dangyang, if everyone blocks the attack of the bandits, keeps the money and food, and just becomes the step of advancement, what do you think? ”

Everyone looked at each other again, they were all people with families, and their families were either in the Kong family or the Wang family, if they left at this time, no one knew what would happen to their families, but staying meant that they were loyal people, and even if they unfortunately died, their families would be taken care of. So they saluted together and said, "Sir, if you have something to do, just give me orders." We will not obey. ”

At dawn the next day, there was a slight tremor on the ground, accompanied by a thud, which woke up Wei Bo, who was sleeping, and after a while, there was another thud, and then the entourage came to report: "The bandits are attacking Mr. Wei Zhong's camp with trebuchets. Wei Bo jumped to his feet when he heard this.

Mr. Liu and several mountain kings stood on a small hill, watching the trebuchets throw stones into the camp, and the people in the camp were panicked at first, and then dispersed under the leadership of the leader, and the casualties caused by the trebuchets were not large.

Several mountain kings said: "There are too few trebuchets, we are building more, what do you think, sir?" Mr. Liu nodded in agreement, but then instructed his entourage: "Order the trebuchet to throw the canisters and burn those fences." Order Wu Gangche to prepare for an attack. ”

The king of the mountain, surnamed Wang, asked, "How much time does Sir think we will have?" ”

"Three days, no more than three days." Mr. Liu replied.
