After Liu Xing, the owner of the village in Longshou Mountain, heard the news that his cronies had come back from a detailed investigation, his black face was always full of smiles.

The cronies sent by Liu Xing to Xiangping City found out that Gongsun Xu was furious after some caravans were robbed, but Gongsun Xu did not find out where the bandits did it.

It is said that the head of the Hou family provided Gongsun Xu with the news of a large bandit, although there is no indication that it was done by the big bandits, but it also pointed out a way for Gongsun Xu.

When Gongsun Xu heard such a rumor, he didn't even think about it, and directly sent 2,000 troops to directly level the gang of bandits entrenched in the Great Black Mountain.

After exterminating the bandits of the Great Black Mountain, Gongsun Xu's reputation became bigger and bigger, and the trade route organized became smoother, and along the way, there were no bandits who did anything to the caravan under Gongsun Xu.

Gongsun Xu saw that the official road was unblocked after the extermination of the bandits in the Great Black Mountain, and directly announced that he would take advantage of the fact that it had not yet entered the winter to let the big businessmen in Xiangping City go on a few big occasions and completely invigorate the economy of Xiangping City.

There are a lot of local products produced here in Xiangping City, especially some precious beasts in the mountains, among which the tiger skin and tiger bones of the Siberian tiger and the mountain ginseng of the Northeast are all things that can be sold for a large price.

Gongsun Xu decided to organize several caravans together to carry out the largest business activities, so that the economy of Xiangping City could be completely revitalized.

The Hou family had a very bad time in Xiangping City before, because when Zhang Chun and Qiu Liju entered Xiangping, the Hou family gave them strong support, and even sent all the family members to the city to help Zhang Chun defend the city.

That is, this time, the Hou family benefited from the operation of the bandits in the Great Black Mountain, otherwise, the Hou family would have been suppressed to death in Xiangping City.

Xiangping City seems to have discovered a mine in the northeastern region, and Gongsun Xu sent more than half of his soldiers to build roads over there and guard the mines over there.

At this time, the army in Xiangping City was less than 2,000 people, and it is conceivable that the number of people sent out to escort that large caravan would definitely not exceed 1,000.

The large caravan was composed of several major merchants in Xiangping City, and the strength of the guards was less than five hundred, even if the team of several hundred people sent by Gongsun Xu was added, the escort force was only more than a thousand people, of which the guards of the Hou family reached two hundred.

After getting these good news, Liu Xing did not get carried away, but sat in the meeting hall and carefully scrutinized, after Liu Xing's scrutiny, he felt that even without the participation of the Hou family, the probability of his success this time should be more than half.

The head of the Hou family wants to give up the foundation of Xiangping City to work with him, this kind of thing is not very reliable in Liu Xing's opinion, after all, the Hou family has been entrenched in Xiangping City for many years, and they will not easily abandon their foundation and turn to him, a bandit force.

But what! Liu Xing also understood the mind of the head of the Hou family, the head of the Hou family wanted to play black and eat black, after Longshou Mountain ate all these goods, then there was only an important way for the Hou family to sell stolen goods, and the Hou family would also develop.

In addition, the city lord of Xiangping proposed to charge the caravan, if something happens, the city lord's mansion will compensate according to the value of the goods in the caravan according to the market price, and the Hou family inside and outside will get a lot of benefits.

The Hou family has cooperated with Longshou Mountain for many years, and it must be clear that Longshou Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if Gongsun continues to pour the strength of the whole city into it, it will not be able to attack it.

Liu Xing studied with several military advisors around him, no matter how he looked at it, this operation would be successful, and after this big vote, the thieves in Longshou Mountain would not go down the mountain to do business even if they didn't go down for a few years, it would be enough for them to eat and drink.

The more piecemeal, the fewer items you get, instead of risking piecemeal, it is really better to make a big one, if that Gongsun Xu is determined to destroy Longshou Mountain, they can also run to other places through the back road.

Liu Xing released Qiu Mao and Liu Wu from the house under house arrest, and after having a good drink with them, he told Liu Wu to let him take someone back to Xiangping City to tell the head of the Hou family, and let the head of the Hou family pass the most accurate information to Longshou Mountain, and once the time was ripe, they would carry out the operation according to the original plan.

In the Xiangping City Lord's Mansion, after Gongsun Xu received the news from Liu Wu, the corners of his mouth were like crescent moons.

Those bandits in Longshou Mountain are on the side of Xiangping, sooner or later they will be a scourge, if he can successfully lure out those bandits to gather and annihilate them this time, then Longshou Mountain will be completely included in his pocket, and many other important plans can also be implemented.

Gongsun Xu attaches the most importance to the location of the top of Longshou Mountain, where he wants to put his most important scientific research base, between Xiangping and Longshou Mountain, he will also actively operate, and use the shortest time to completely connect Xiangping and Longshou Mountain, forming a kind of horn trend.

Gongsun Xu summoned his subordinates Zhao Yun, Gongsun Da, Han Yu and other important generals to the City Lord's Mansion and began to study the encirclement and suppression operation.

Gongsun Xu felt that this encirclement and suppression operation was of great significance, not only to test the recent training of his army, but also to let his soldiers devote themselves to the real meaning of the battle, and only in the battle could the combat effectiveness of the army be tested.

After Zhao Yun, Gongsun Da and Han Yunan Tianyuan arrived at Gongsun Xu's meeting hall, their eyes showed an extreme surprise.

They actually saw that something they had never seen before appeared on the big table in Gongsun Xu's room, and the thing on the table was like a map of Xiangping, but there was a considerable difference from the map, that thing actually showed the entire Xiangping and the surrounding area in a three-dimensional form, and the mountains and rivers near Xiangping City were all included.

Seeing Gongsun Xu smiling and silent over there, with an indifferent look, Zhao Yun and the others immediately surrounded him and began to carefully inspect the things on the table.

What was on Gongsun Xu's table was nothing else, it was the sand table used by the generals in later wars.

Although the origin of the sand table originated from Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, the earliest prototype that began to appear when Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu conquered Longxi, but for the role of the sand table, the celebrities of the Han Dynasty did not keep it in mind, and it was used in the war by people with a heart after many dynasties.

The sand table made by Gongsun continued was made according to the model of three-dimensional sand table model production in later generations.

For Gongsun Xu, the production of the sand table is just a kind of thing incidentally, and after the most accurate map is made, this kind of thing can only be regarded as an accessory, and it is a kind of entertainment that belongs to his leisure after tea and dinner.
