At dawn, as soon as the sun jumped out of the horizon, the people of Xiangping City saw horse-drawn carriages coming out of Xiangping City and heading towards Xingcheng.

The convoy was long, and it was all horse-drawn carriages, which were laden with goods, and the merchants sitting in the carriages were even more smiling, unaware that great danger awaited them on the road ahead.

Their faces were filled with happy smiles, and they were constantly calculating in their hearts what kind of harvest they could have from bringing goods from Xiangping to the Central Plains this time.

Xiangping belongs to the northeast of Youzhou, mountain goods, animal skins, mountain ginseng...... All of them belong to the favorite items of the Central Plains dignitaries, and the prices purchased by the merchants here are extremely low, as long as they can be safely transported to the Central Plains, the price of the goods can at least increase several times.

Although there are many merchants who go to business on weekdays, and there are some guards to follow, but Xiangping City is too chaotic, so chaotic that sixty percent of them have been robbed by bandits, and it is precisely because of this reason that the goods here are extremely precious, especially those old ginseng in Liaodong.

The merchants sat around the most spacious part of the carriage and talked about what kind of goods they should bring with them the next time they formed a caravan.

On both sides of the convoy were the heavily armed soldiers of Xiangping City, a thousand people, who followed the carriage in a neat pace, their faces showing a state of solemnity.

At this time, the people entering and leaving the city were stopped on both sides by the soldiers guarding the city gates, and were told that they would not be able to enter or leave the city gates until the caravans had left the city, and that those who dared to disturb the order would not be spared.

This business group can be said to be the largest business action in recent years, whether it is the merchants of Xiangping City or the officials and poor people of Xiangping City, they are extremely concerned about this matter.

Seeing the huge convoy leave Xiangping City, Xiangping City, which had been boiling all morning, returned to its former calm.

At this time, some young people flashed out of the peasants who went out of the city to harvest grain, quickly broke away from the peasant ranks, and ran quickly into the distance.

Scout Fang Yu hid in the dense bushes, and the information of the bandits of Longshou Mountain kept flashing in his eyes.

When the bandits of Longshou Mountain left his sight, Fang Yu was like a dexterous monkey, and began to swing quickly through the woods to the periphery.

He is on the side of Longshou Mountain, and he is responsible for investigating the situation of the bandit team in Longshou Mountain, passing the news to the person in charge of summarizing the news, and then the person in charge of summarizing the news will quickly pass the news to the hands of Gongsun Xu and Zhao Yun, the commanders-in-chief.

The number of bandits in Longshou Mountain, the route of action, these first-hand information are the most important, so that Gongsun Xu and Zhao Yun can make the fastest way to deal with it.

Fang Yu's scout team continued to increase, from the initial forty or fifty people to more than two hundred, under normal circumstances, Fang Yu could send his scouts to this side to inquire about the situation, and then summarize to his side, and then pass the news to Gongsun Xu's side.

However, Fang Yu didn't trust the methods of those scouts under his command and their reactions to bandits who were proficient in the terrain of the mountains, this kind of task was a task that could lose their heads at any time, and it was not easy to cultivate scouts.

With such an action to encircle and suppress the bandits, Fang Yu felt that he had to do it himself in order to be able to rest assured.

By doing this, he was not only able not to reveal that Gongsun Xu had already known about the robbery plan of the bandits in Longshou Mountain, but also to accurately send the news back to the commander-in-chief.

Gongsun Xu held the information sent back from the front in his hand, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, he looked at Zhao Yun with a slight meaning, and slowly said: "General Zhao Yun, that, what, the thieves of Longshou Mountain have made great efforts this time, and there are four thousand people dispatched, do you have the confidence to eat them all?"

When Gongsun Xu and Zhao Yun said this, they almost blurted out Yuan Fang, what do you think, and when it came to his mouth, he remembered that it was inappropriate, so he took this sentence back.

Four thousand bandits are definitely not a problem for the soldiers under Gongsun Xu, the bandits are bandits, and there is no comparison with the well-equipped regular army.

Gongsun Xu has put considerable effort into the construction of the army, whether it is in terms of equipment or training integration, he has paid enough attention to it, and he feels that even if it is a thousand elites under his command against the four thousand people of the bandits, they can achieve the final victory.

Zhao Yunjian raised his eyebrows, looked at Gongsun Xu with a somewhat unkind gaze, and thought dissatisfiedly in his heart, how could this guy still ask such a question, isn't he stupid as a Xiangping City Lord!

They dispatched 6,000 elite soldiers this time, if they couldn't kill and capture all the 4,000 bandits, then they could really go and eat, and they could win the battle with their eyes closed, he actually asked such a question.

Zhao Yun and Gongsun Xu have been deducing for a long time on the sand table, and even the route that the bandits of Longshou Mountain can pass through when retreating has been clearly calculated, and it is carefully calculated to scatter and disrupt so many cavalry and infantry to those places, as long as there is no big accident, this operation to exterminate the bandits in Longshou Mountain will definitely achieve a complete victory.

Zhao Yun slowly spoke: "Is the city guard so unconfident in his own army?"

Zhao Yun asked Gongsun Xu rhetorically, with a slight ridicule in his tone, he wanted to see how Gongsun Xu answered his question.

Gongsun Xu glanced at Zhao Yun obliquely, rolled his eyes, and said with an arrogant expression: "The Han army is invincible, and the little dragon head thief is not worried. Look ahead, the black hole must be the thief's lair, wait for me to catch up and kill him cleanly. ”

Zhao Yunleng looked at Gongsun Xu with a look of incomprehension on his face.

Zhao Yun and Gongsun Xu have been together for a long time, and Zhao Yun has heard this oral sentence no less than ten times, but Zhao Yun can't understand what Gongsun Xu said, and no matter how you think about it, you feel that this sentence is weird.

Zhao Yun's upside-down sword eyebrows tightened to the middle, and he asked, "Lord City Guard, can you explain your words to Zhao?"

Gongsun Xu looked at Zhao Yun, he smiled without saying a word, lifted the reins in his hand, and said with a slight grabness: "When you should understand, you will naturally understand."

After Gongsun continued to finish, he didn't look at Zhao Yun's iron-clad face anymore, and walked towards the army in front.

It's not that Gongsun Xu wants to lose Zhao Yun's appetite, but this sentence was originally a joke in the Peking Opera "Pick a Pulley", and it is a sentence he learned in the mansion of later generations, even if he and Zhao Yun wanted to explain it, they couldn't explain it clearly.

Gongsun continued to think that he should leave such a suspense for Zhao Yun, let him think about it slowly when he has nothing to do!
