Early in the morning, Xu Shisan, Han Shou and Lu Xingxing each walked into Li Fengyun's house with two vigilante brothers who were witty, flexible and adaptable.
This is what Li Fengyun specially confessed, and the scouts who go out to investigate the military situation must have the same thing as the thieves who were sent out to "explore the wind" before the robbery in the past, and he has to personally examine and teach the relevant skills.
Mr. Chen San was also very curious about this, and came to watch early.
Li Fengyun's censorship methods "opened the eyes" of several rebel leaders. First, they went out to check the body elements and martial arts of these alternative scouts, followed by a series of "eyes and ears" spying experience and skills, then their ability to adapt to special situations and teamwork, and finally the use of messenger code words and messenger secret cards. It takes time to make the secret card, and it will definitely be too late in a hurry, but the code must be learned one or two sets, which is necessary for scouts to pass on secrets.
After Li Fengyun's examination and teaching was over, these six people became the first batch of scouts of the rebel army, and were ordered to go down the mountain to Xia Ting and Yongcheng to inquire about the military situation.

Han Xiangguo Yan underestimated Li Fengyun and was caught off guard by Li Fengyun's fierce "attack", and he couldn't come up with a proper strategy in the short term.
Li Fengyun waited in Mangdang Mountain for two days, without waiting for any response from Han Xiangguo, but the preparations for the night attack on Xia Ting were unusually smooth, and everything was in order.
Li Fengyun resolutely ordered to immediately go down the mountain and attack.
On this day, the rebels arrived at the southwestern edge of Dangshan at dusk, and beyond that was the endless Great Plains, and according to the training practice during this time, they would turn around and return to Zhangfeizhai after a short rest. However, after dusk, the soldiers were surprised to see that Bai Shuai actually led them out of Mangdang Mountain, along the sheep intestine road in the countryside, and marched rapidly in the direction of Tongji Canal.
The soldiers suddenly became excited, they were going to fight, and they were finally going to do a big deal, and the days of Tianyin being abused by Bai Shuai in the ravine finally came to an end. Some people couldn't help but be curious, so they whispered to each other, guessing whether they were plundering the fleet on the canal or attacking the manor of a wealthy man. The team leaders and team deputies immediately made a warning, strictly forbidden to speak, and their demeanor was very stern. This strengthened the speculation of the soldiers, and the morale of all of them was high, and the march was greatly accelerated unconsciously.
When will it be the thieves' turn to raise their eyebrows? At this moment, more than 100 people ran to kill people and overtake goods, with an overwhelming advantage, and the mood was as cool as you can imagine.
Around the time of the day, the team arrived at the Suishui River. This is not a ferry, but there are four boats moored, and Guo Ming, the deputy of the right team, is meeting each other by the river with seven rebel brothers who were born as sailors.
Li Fengyun nodded appreciatively, said a few words of hard work to Guo Ming and his subordinates, and promised to give a heavy reward. He didn't ask where the ship came from, nor did he ask whether the matter was done smoothly, as long as he had a boat, the boat had it, it meant that Guo Ming had done the thing, and since it was done, the task was completed, and he was rewarded.
Guo Ming didn't dare to hold it up, since Bai Shuai trusted himself, entrusted himself with a heavy responsibility, and put on a gesture of courtship, and he didn't have much power in the righteous army, and he was a small water thief in Mangdang Mountain, so he naturally moved closer to the strong, so he didn't care whether Li Fengyun would ask or not, he had to take the initiative to tell him in detail about the hijacking, one was to respect Bai Shuai, and show Bai Shuai his allegiance to him, and second, once something went wrong, he could remedy it in time.
Guo Ming stood beside Li Fengyun and recounted the hijacking of the ship. No one on the ship was killed, and the goods on the ship were thrown on the riverbank, and they said that they would borrow the boat, and the sailors would also borrow it, and if they did not agree, they would kill people and steal the goods.
Guo Ming's account was concise, prioritized, and organized, far from being able to be done by a lowly sailor who couldn't read a big word, which immediately attracted Li Fengyun's attention. On the rivers and lakes, there is indeed no shortage of talented people, and this Guo Ming in front of him must have a story.
Li Fengyun looked Guo Ming up and down a few times. Guo Ming is a middle-aged man in his thirties, perhaps because of the perennial sailing and sleeping in the open, his skin is dark, his body is thin, his muscles are strong, especially his two arms, he is unusually thick, a face with high cheekbones but sharp edges has a thick short beard, and a pair of slightly small eyes always show a cautious and vigilant look, which is obviously directly related to his experience of hiding the thief Mizusawa all day.
"People, why don't you kill?"
"The brigade commander has an order not to kill innocents indiscriminately." Guo Ming replied respectfully.
Li Fengyun turned his eyes to look at him, smiled and shook his head, "When you were a thief, did you kill innocents indiscriminately?" ”
"All officials and thieves will be killed!" Guo Ming said without hesitation.
"Officials and thieves?" Li Fengyun groaned, thoughtful.
People who eat official meals are not necessarily vicious people who fight for the tiger, but as long as they eat official meals, they have to do the affairs of the official family, and once the affairs of the official family endanger the interests of the common people and are hated and hated by the common people, they will inevitably form antagonism and even vendetta. Guo Ming's story may stem from the harm done to him by the official family. When did the government of this dynasty begin to be hated by the general public? It started from the destruction of Shandong Gaoqi and Jiangzuo Chen, and the Shandong people and Jiangzuo became slaves of the country? Or, from now on, he will start to build a large number of buildings, conquer the west and the east, exhaust the national strength, and damage the vital interests of the common people again and again?
Guo Ming saw that Li Fengyun was silent, he was worried in his heart, and asked in a low voice, "Those people, should they be killed?" ”
Li Fengyun shook his head and said in a righteous and awe-inspiring manner, "We are a righteous army, we are holding the banner of righteousness, we are doing benevolent and righteous things, we are doing the right thing for heaven, we are doing harm for the people, we are robbing the rich and helping the poor, helping the weak and helping the poor, how can we kill innocents indiscriminately?" ”
Guo Ming suddenly put his mind at ease and stretched out his hand to ask, "Brigade Marshal, this is the river." ”

At midnight, the procession approached the Grand Canal and approached the Summer Pavilion, where they could faintly see the hazy and dim lights swaying in the darkness. The lights come from the boats moored on the canal and the buildings on both sides, and from a distance, it looks like a beautiful galaxy across the night.
The soldiers of the rebel army lurked in the wilderness, resting and eating and drinking enough to recover their bodies.
The two scouts who had rushed to inquire about the military situation in advance were already waiting here, and after seeing Li Fengyun, Mr. Chen San, Xu Shisan, Han Shou and Lu Xingxing, they immediately made a detailed report.
The situation in Xia Ting tonight is similar to what Mr. Chen San knows about the secret line and the hidden pile on weekdays. Xia Ting was stationed in a team of fifty Eagle Yang Guards, a Gong Cao who was assigned by the county government to be responsible for the management of the entry and exit of ships, and a number of miscellaneous servants of Peng's subordinates, as well as Li Zheng of Xia Ting and his subordinates. (Lizheng, equivalent to the head of the township.) There were more than 200 ships moored on the channel waiting to enter and leave the country, of which more than half were ships carrying materials for the government, but most of the materials were oil, canvas, ropes, giant trees and other shipbuilding items.
Mr. Chen San, Lu Xingxing and others looked at each other, feeling very unlucky, they thought that they could "do a big job" and make a lot of money, who would have thought that the whole canal was full of big wood, what was the use?
"Why is it a giant tree, and not a silk of gold and silver?" Han Shou was quite frustrated, and couldn't help but scold angrily, "Straight lady thief, God is blind." ”
"I heard that the imperial court is building a number of giant warships on the northern seas." A young scout whispered, "These giant trees are used to build warships. ”
Han Shou glanced at the little scout and asked, "Where did you hear that?" ”
"There were craftsmen from the south, all shipbuilders, one or two hundred people." The little scout said, "Everyone in the inn is speculating about this, everyone is saying so. ”
Craftsman? Li Fengyun suddenly became interested, "Have you ever seen it with your own eyes?" How many young and strong people are there? ”
Mr. Chen San, Lu Xingxing and the others knew what Li Fengyun meant as soon as they heard it, this was to catch the strong men and expand the team. Others only pay attention to how much property they can loot when they beat Xia Ting, but Bai Shuai is concerned about how to develop and strengthen the righteous army, and the gap between Bai Shuai and everyone becomes more obvious after this comparison.
The two scouts immediately gave an affirmative answer, which made Li Fengyun very excited, "According to the original plan, although the capture may not be rich, it has bought us more time to evacuate, which is a good thing." Then he waved his hand vigorously, "The teams are attacking immediately." ”
The people bowed down and received the commandment, and scattered in all directions.

Xia Ting's Li Zheng is called Yuan An, and he is a young man with ideals and ambitions.
This young man has aristocratic blood in his blood, his ancestral home is Ruyang, and the Yuan family of Ruyang is a famous family in the Yingchuan and Ru areas, and compared with the Yingchuan Chen family and the Han family, it was a wealthy family in the Wei and Jin dynasties. With the changes of history, Ying, Ru Mingmen gradually declined, and in this dynasty, it can barely be regarded as a second-rate family.
Yuan An's ancestors were also the home of eunuchs, but one generation is not as good as the next, and the generations have withered, but fortunately, the ancestors have some land and inheritance, and there are scriptures and learning, and the children of later generations still have the opportunity to struggle in their careers. Yuan An belongs to such a declining aristocratic child who struggles desperately in his career but in fact never gets ahead.
Yuan An is full of confidence in himself, thinking that he is young and full of economy, just waiting for the opportunity to come, the wind and clouds will turn into dragons, and he will be able to soar into the sky, so he is often immersed in fantasy and self-anesthetized, using self-anesthesia to escape the harshness of reality. He also prayed often, praying that God would give him a chance to change his fate.
Suddenly, the opportunity came.
"Dangdang ......" Jin Zheng struck violently, tearing through the darkness in an instant, and also woke up Yuan An in his sleep.
Something went wrong? Yuan An was sleepy-eyed and confused, and staggered to get up.
The thunderous sound of the drums of "Knock ......" slammed into Yuan An's heart as if the earth was shaking, making him suddenly sober up from his ignorance.
Drum alarm? What do you want to beat the drum to call the police, and to send out the eagle guards? Got a water thief coming? What's so scary about a few water thieves? Suddenly, he thought of the fleet on the channel, the fleet carrying giant trees to Zhuojun, there was a fire, it must have been a fire.
Yuan An was shocked, opened his mouth and let out a strange scream, and then rushed out of the house.
Outside, it was as bright as day, and the sky was filled with a scorching, pungent smell of burnt paste.
It's over, it's over.
