Dai Nengxiang's account is very clear, more than two months have passed, the consumption of grain is 19 stones, about 400 taels of silver, and the rest of the family background is even clearer, 47 stone of grain, 8,100 taels of silver, 3 Tugu Hun horses, 29 Mongolian horses, 8 southwest horses, 8 bows and arrows, and from February, it is expected to consume 16 stones of grain and about 300 taels of silver every month.

It should be said that there is not much problem with silver, but the grain is obviously insufficient, and after the beginning of the year, the price of grain per stone has risen to about ten taels of silver, and it is difficult to buy in large quantities.

The scale of the number of people cannot be maintained forever by a hundred people, and this hundred people dare not guarantee whether there are casualties, so the demand for money and food will gradually increase, and there are almost no harvests in the land from various parts of Yan'an Mansion for many years, and it is even more impossible to rely on farming to maintain, and Wu Fanhui, who has traveled through more than a year, has learned that even in the barren Mizhi County, the situation of land annexation is very serious, including the Wu family, which owns hundreds of hectares of land, not to mention the more powerful He family, The common people actually did not have much land, but they still had to pay taxes, and to a certain extent, the government forced the common people to rebel.

On the twenty-eighth day of the first month, Shilipu Town.

"The eighty-one people who went out this time were divided into two teams, the first team of ten people, led by Li Yong, assisted by Liu Fangheng, all riding war horses, wearing bows and arrows, set off today, investigating the situation along the way, and reporting the information detected as soon as possible, the second team of seventy-one people, Ma Jigang was in charge, Sun Kailin assisted, according to the information obtained by the first team, marched at the fastest speed."

"Whether the battle is smooth or not, the key lies in the intelligence detected by the first team, Ma Jigang and Liu Fangheng and others have worked hard to investigate in the early stage and obtained a lot of valuable information, this investigation, we need to refine these intelligence, especially the details of Zhang Miaoshou and He Shuangquan, including the specific terrain of the col where they are stationed, where their old camp is, how many people they have under their command, how many people have combat effectiveness, where they are distributed, and so on."

"The ten people of the first team are actually scouts, the role and importance of scouts, I don't want to say more, you all know it, I am just a sentence, scouts can even directly determine the victory or defeat of the battle."

"Tongue grabbing is the best way for scouts to investigate, as long as you can catch Zhang Miaoshou and He Shuangquan's henchmen, you will be able to obtain most of the information, according to your ability, you will definitely be able to do it."

"Mizhi County is one hundred and fourteen miles away from Jiazhou, which refers to the distance from Mizhi County to Jiazhou City, we start from Shilipu, the distance to Jiazhou City is one hundred and twenty-one miles, Zhang Miaoshou is in the southeast of Jiazhou City, the place where it is stationed, the small place is called Luoxia Ao, about 40 miles away from Jiazhou City, He Shuangquan is in the west of Jiazhou City, and the small place where it is stationed is called Shangbanliangzi, which is about 50 miles away from Jiazhou City."

"These **** and Li Yong, Dai Nengxiang carefully calculated, roughly calculated the distance, we started from Shilipu, about 80 miles away from Luoxia Pass, about 130 miles away from Shangban Liangzi."

"Our first goal is Zhang Miaoshou, after completely solving Zhang Miaoshou, turn around to deal with He Shuangquan, that is to say, we need to march more than 80 miles in a hurry, launch an attack under Zhang Miaoshou's unpreparedness, and win victory in the shortest possible time, we can't let Zhang Miaoshou notice, and we can't underestimate those homeless and hungry people, although they have no combat effectiveness, but once they come up and surround them, we can't deal with it."

"Tomorrow, the first team must obtain the details of Zhang Miaoshou, so as to ensure that we can determine the detailed battle plan, Li Yong, your task is very heavy, but no matter what you think, you must complete it."

"The timing of our attack is set at night, which will help us end the battle as quickly as possible, and will also prevent Zhang Miaoshou and his sergeants from escaping, and it is more likely that they will not alarm their camp."

"Tomorrow at midnight, the second team of seventy-one people, divided into three batches to set off, led by Ma Jigang, Sun Kailin and me, the first batch of twenty people, the second batch of twenty people, the third batch of thirty-one people, so as not to attract special attention, the three batches of brothers, the place of rendezvous is in Broken Gold Town, before noon tomorrow, the three batches of brothers must meet in Broken Gold Town."

"At the end of the day, all the brothers will enter the territory of Jiazhou, and as for the place where we hide and rest, it is one of the reconnaissance tasks that the first team must complete."

When he said this, Wu Fanhui looked at Li Yong and the others one by one.

"Recently, I heard some rumors from the brothers below, saying that we are similar to Liukou, I didn't feel strange when I heard such rumors, and I didn't hold anyone responsible, indeed, at present, the brothers are nameless and shareless, and they are not even the official nursing home of the Wu family, after all, we need to be vigilant against the attention of the county government."

"But if someone equates himself with a rogue, without any scruples in his words and deeds, or even violates many of the rules we have determined, then don't blame me for being rude, you can rest assured, I have been thinking about the matter of reputation, it will not take long, and the results will come out."

Speaking of this, Wu Fanhui paused for a while, allowing Li Yong and the others to remember.

"Okay, if you brothers still don't understand something, you can ask."

After less than a minute of silence, Li Yong spoke.

"Young master, the first team led by his subordinates, set off at noon today, Liu Fangheng will wait in Broken Gold Town at noon tomorrow, and there will be brothers who will report to the young master that after entering Jiazhou, the place to rest, and the day after tomorrow, the subordinates will wait at the place where the brothers stay."

Wu Fanhui nodded slightly.

"It's okay, but you remember, the focus of the scout's reconnaissance is all the situation of Zhang Miaoshou, I plan to march in two days, in fact, if you march at the fastest speed, more than eighty miles, you can reach it in one day, but then the scouts can't detect detailed information, so after the brothers enter the place under the jurisdiction of Jiazhou, there will be more than half a day to rest, during this time, we will determine all the deployments of the night operation according to the detailed information detected by the scouts."

"The battle must be rolled out within the time from the first son of the second month to the ugly hour, we have eighty-one people, the momentum is not small, if we stay in the territory of Jiazhou for too long, Zhang Miaoshou and He Shuangquan will definitely notice, they are not fools, waiting for us to attack, once our whereabouts are exposed, either we will fight face to face with Zhang Miaoshou, or Zhang Miaoshou will flee quickly."

"We need to pay special attention to the timing of the time."

"Here, I solemnly warn all brothers, military orders are like a mountain, no matter who they are, they must obey the order, if someone violates the military order, it may cause the brothers to expose their whereabouts, and may even affect our combat deployment, then you can make a decision immediately, without hesitation in the marching method."

"There are some things that you are embarrassed to say, but you must say them, you must keep telling your brothers what you can do and what you can't do, so that you can really love your brothers, and you are also true brothers, and when someone disobeys the order and breaks the rules, at that time, it will be too late to say anything."

"I said a long time ago, no matter what the brothers have done before, since they have followed me, they are not to blame for the past, and I will carry all the troubles in the past for you, even if the court wants to pursue them, then it will not work, but the brothers must listen to my orders and obey the rules I set, if you can't do this, we are not brothers."

Wu Fanhui said very harshly, Li Yong and others couldn't help but bow their heads, during this time, he repeatedly warned the forty-seven brothers that they must strictly abide by the rules and must not exceed the slightest transgression, but Liu Fangheng was a little embarrassed to speak, he always felt that these brothers were suffering outside, and they were too strict to bear it.

Li Yong also knew that when these brothers were scattered in Xinzhou, Mayi, Shanyin and other places, they were not engaged in good deeds, and those who were close to Zhu were red and those who were close to ink were black, and in this process, it was also possible to get involved in some bad habits, and they must be seriously admonished, and strict management is required.

Everyone went to prepare, and Dai Nengxiang stayed.

"Dai Nengxiang, the guards of the money and grain rely on the twenty brothers who stayed at home, Shilipu is our base camp, there can be no problem, before we come back, no one is allowed to enter the courtyard where the money and grain are stored without authorization, otherwise there will be no forgiveness, the twenty brothers are divided into four teams, patrolling day and night, observing all the movements around, which will work hard for you and the brothers."

"Young master, his subordinates must collect the money and food, the young master and his brothers are fighting outside, and the subordinates wish the young master a complete victory."

At noon, Li Yong took Liu Fangheng and other nine people to secretly set off from Shilipu and went to Jiazhou.

Wu Fanhui did not send it off.

On the 29th day of the first month, Ma Jigang led 19 people to set off from Shilipu, at the moment of Mao, Sun Kailin led 19 people from Shilipu, and at 2 o'clock, Wu Fanhui led 30 people to set off from Shilipu.

When he got on the horse, Wu Fanhui looked back at the energetic people, looked at the house of Shilipu, he knew that after coming back, the brothers would move to Ma'anshan Village, but I don't know if a hundred brothers can all follow them to Ma'anshan Village, I don't know how much we will gain from this fight.

When he walked towards the official road with the horse's belly, Wu Fanhui did not look back.

Wu Fanhui didn't notice that on a hillside not far from the official road, the housekeeper of the Wu family was silently watching all this.
