Shuangjinggang, as the name suggests, is a hill with two sweet water wells, which is also a rare feng shui treasure in the Gobi Desert in the Hami region, not too far from the fifth road between the famous Yizhou and Guazhou, that is, the distance of more than ten miles, in the past it was always an important place for travelers to replenish water sources, however, since the rise of the whirlwind thieves, it has become a forbidden area for business travelers, but Shuangjinggang has not fallen because of this, but has become more and more prosperous, and gradually developed into a small town.

From a distance, Shuangjinggang is not much different from ordinary towns, the same is not a tall stone wall built along the mountain, some stone houses are piled up behind the stone wall, spread to the top of the mountain in a disorderly manner, monotonous and boring, there is nothing surprising, but if you really walk into Shuangjinggang, you will find that this place is by no means comparable to ordinary towns, that deep alleys are like a labyrinth in all directions, mixed but not chaotic, faintly full of murderous energy, if there is no acquaintance to lead the way, You just walked all day and didn't want to find the road to the top of the mountain from the alley, which is a very clever formation, and most of the pedestrians on the street are men with swords, the face full of vicissitudes and unruly eyes, proving the extraordinary inhabitants here, yes, these men are the famous whirlwind thieves, and Shuangjinggang is the location of the whirlwind thieves' lair, the black flag fluttering on the flagpole in front of the imposing stone hall on the top of the mountain proves this very well.

The stone hall covers an area of not small, there are ten acres of square circle, the style is enough, but the decoration is much worse, not to mention that there is no carving on the eaves corner, that is, the stone wall has not been polished, a rough atmosphere, but the wooden plaque hanging on the main door is written in three big characters like a dragon and a phoenix, it is a heroic - Juyi Hall! The word is a good word, the name is also loud, and this hall is full of matching, and at this time more than a dozen men sitting in the hall look at the kind of knife head licking blood, every pore on the body is full of murderous aura, the only strange thing is that these men are obviously not all the way, although they are all sitting together, but everyone is angry, as if they are guarding against the people around them to burst out, what is even more strange is: so many bloody men sit together, no one speaks, a dead silence.

"The scoop is here!" With the roar of several guards outside the hall, after a gentle footstep, a man in a yellow shirt who was about thirty years old led two of his subordinates to walk up, oh, a big man, not to mention that the burly and upright figure made people feel awe at first sight, not to mention that the faintly exposed evil aura on the body was terrifying, but the pair of fine eyes on the face made people dare not face it, and the Yiwen and Wuwu who followed behind him were also quite magnificent-the scribe was dressed in a green shirt, holding a feather fan, wearing a scarf, and a pair of cloth shoes with thousand-layer soles under his feet, the face is like a crown of jade, plus three locks of long beard fluttering on the chest, there is a lot of the spirit of the world, as for the generals, although not as burly as the man in the yellow shirt led by him, he can stand tall and tall, and he has a smiling look, coupled with the spirit of the action, the whole person is as terrible as a cheetah, yes, these three people are the three leaders of the whirlwind thieves - the yellow-shirted man Liu Whirlwind, the scribe Qin Wenhua, and the military general He Chengye.

"See the total scoop handle!" As the three leaders of the Whirlwind Thieves walked into the hall, more than a dozen big men who were still sitting upright before suddenly stood up, each bowed and clasped their fists in salute, and their neat voices echoed in the hall.

Liu Whirlwind and his entourage ignored everyone's salute, strode to the three chairs side by side in the middle of the lobby and sat down. Although the tone was gentle, there was a faint cold atmosphere, and the big men didn't dare to lose their manners, and each said loudly: "Thank you for the scoop handle", and then they sat down, everyone looked at their noses and noses, and no one dared to turn their eyes to Liu Whirlwind's face.

"Do you know what the leaders have come here to discuss?" Liu Xuanfeng was deliberately silent for a while, and then slowly asked.

"I don't know, please ask the chief scoop to make it clear, it can't be that Liu scoop is planning to feast the big guy, right?" A big man in Tsing Yi who was sitting first on the left hand side took the lead in standing up, and said in a slightly dissatisfied tone, this person is Sha Kui, the second leader of the second largest bandit "Fallen Leaf Kou" in the Hami area.

"Presumptuous! Sha Kui, you are such a big dog, believe it or not, Lao Tzu cut off your dog's head and drank wine! Liu Whirlwind hadn't opened his mouth yet, but He Chengye, who was sitting on the side, couldn't stand the thorn in Sha Kui's words, and stood up with a "bang", and pulled out the horizontal knife on his waist with a "bang", and immediately waved the knife at each other without saying a word.

"Deciduous Bandits" is the second largest sand thief in the Hami area, with a total strength of 1,800 people, although it is far less powerful than the whirlwind thieves, but it is not a good lord, and has never been very convinced by the cyclone bandits, in the past few years, there have been a few fierce battles between each other, although the "Fallen Leaves" are always at a disadvantage, but the whirlwind thieves have never been able to exterminate the "Fallen Leaves", and the two sides are unwilling to continue to fight so endlessly, and finally reached an agreement on the division of territory by Liu Whirlwind, according to this agreement, Unless it is a matter of life and death related to the sand thieves in the entire Hami area, the "Fallen Leaf Kou" does not need to follow Liu Whirlwind's orders.

This is the first time that Liu Whirlwind has issued a conscription order since he served as the chief scoop of the Hami region, and the "Fallen Leaf Kou" had to send the second master to attend the meeting due to the agreement, but the people of the "Fallen Leaf Kou" were not convinced by Liu Whirlwind, especially Sha Kui, who was waiting with the leader of the small sand thieves together, and was already dissatisfied in his heart. shouted angrily: "Come on, there is a kind of one-on-one with Lao Tzu, whoever is afraid is raised by the stepmother!" ”

"Look for death!" The corners of He Chengye's mouth were raised, revealing a disdainful sneer, and he was about to pounce on the horizontal knife in his hand as soon as he waved it, but he never thought that a big hand suddenly stretched out from the side and pressed on his wrist holding the knife, and immediately stopped He Chengye's pounce, and the owner of this hand was Liu Whirlwind.

"Enough trouble? Shakui, if you really want to fight, how about playing with you? Just when the fire between the two sides was about to rise, Liu Whirlwind opened his mouth, his tone was still very gentle, but it was like a huge thunder in Sha Kui's ears, and the original fierce arrogance was immediately idle without a trace, and he didn't dare to look up at Liu Whirlwind's face, and put down the chair in his hand with a weak heart, and the person also sat down, and stopped talking with a calm face. The rest of the people can't survive a few faces under his hands at all, and he still has a few catties and taels, and if he doesn't want to be bored, he can only bow his head first.

The atmosphere in the lobby was not very harmonious, and then Sha Kui made such a fuss, there was an awkward silence, and no one asked Liu Whirlwind what the real purpose of inviting the big guy to discuss the matter was, and Liu Whirlwind didn't seem to have any intention of speaking at this time, the man in the hall was sitting so dry, at this moment, Qin Wenhua, who was sitting next to Liu Whirlwind, stood up, shook the feather fan in his hand, looked at the leaders of the hall with a smile, and slowly said: "Leaders, please, The reason why the chief of my family invited everyone to come is that there is a major matter related to your life and death to discuss, so let's say, if we don't work together to get through the difficulties at this time, then there will be no more 'whirlwind thieves', let alone 'fallen leaves', as for the other leaders, before we fall, you are only afraid that the bones will be cold. ”

As soon as Qin Wenhua said this, the hall was shocked, a group of men who licked blood with knives were not frightened, as soon as they heard this, everyone didn't believe it, and they were all noisy, and for a while, the atmosphere of slaughter in the hall was all washed away, and the big men immediately made a commotion.

"Qin Er is in charge, where did you start with this? Coax a three-year-old baby, you don't believe in this evil! In the midst of the noise, it was Sha Kui who couldn't help but be the first to jump out and take the lead.

"Sha Er, please sit down, Rong Mou will say carefully." Qin Wenhua didn't care about Sha Kui's rudeness at all, he stroked the long beard on his chest with a smile, and continued slowly: "Have you ever heard of the name of Li Zhenzhi, the king of Yue? ”

Li Zhen's name no one knows, which one does not know, in the early years it was known for being rich in the world, and the "Yan Ji Firm" under his name spread throughout the Tang Dynasty, and there was also a caravan of "Yan Ji Firm" in the desert outside the pass, and the sand thieves present had dealt with the "Yan Ji Firm", of course, the "exchange" at the beginning was actually not pleasant, because of the "Yan Ji Firm" master like a cloud, those who tried to rob the sand thieves suffered a lot of losses, and then the "Yan Ji Firm" took the initiative to send people to contact the mountains, and promised to give enough money to buy roads every year, In order to get the safety of people and goods, after several discussions between the two sides, the "Yan Ji firm" gave one-tenth of the value of the goods as the road money, which is regarded as each other's well water does not violate the river water, and the name of Li Zhen, the king of Yue, is young and golden, and it has spread all over the desert, and in the past two years, first the battle with Xue Yantuo, and then the night battle of the Beijing division defeated Hou Junji, but also made Li Zhen's prestige spread far and wide - Xue Yantuo is one of the overlords outside the Saiwai, and Dadu is Xue Yantuo's number one general, and Hou Junji is the fierce god of Gaochang State, The fame of these two outside the Saiwai is really beyond the influence of the Tang Dynasty, but these two characters who were rumored to be the gods of war by the desert people have been defeated in the hands of Li Zhen, and in the rumors of the desert people, Li Zhen has already been the reincarnation of the god of war.

"You may not know yet, this His Royal Highness the King of Yue is about to take up the post of the Grand Commander of the Protectorate of the Anxi Capital, and we are about to face a strong blow from His Royal Highness the King of Yue, do you have any chance of escaping this difficulty?" Qin Wenhua paused for a while, looking like he was enjoying everyone's attention, shook his feather fan with a smile, and said lightly.

"Qin Er is in charge, you need to be alarmist, he Yue Wang is his commander, and Lao Tzu didn't rob his caravan, why should he deal with me? Could it be that you have angered King Yue and thought of a way to drag me to accompany him to death, right? Don't be fooled by this! Sha Kui seems to be rude, but in fact he is not stupid at all, as soon as he heard Qin Wenhua's words, it was revealed that he wanted to unite the people and horses of various mountains to fight against Li Zhen, the king of Yue, who was willing to give in, and immediately pointed out unceremoniously.

No one has seen the big guy with his own eyes, but the big guy in the "Yan Ji Firm" has been taught, and his skills are high, and he is not afraid of death, with the financial resources of the "Yan Ji Firm" and the master of the clouds, plus the army held by Li Zhen, if Li Zhen is really determined to destroy the big guy, it is no different from pinching an ant to death, and what is more troublesome is - because the "Yan Ji Firm" often travels back and forth in the desert, and has been in contact with various cottages, The terrain of the desert is not a secret to Li Zhen at all, those places where there is water that can hide from people can't hide from the Tang army at all, and if a sand thief wants to hide in the desert, the difficulty can be imagined, without the Tang army doing more, a few surprise attacks can kill the big guy, unless you escape from the Hami area, it is really difficult to compete with the Tang army with strong troops.

"Sha Er's fear is still in the dark, pitiful, pitiful!" Qin Wenhua looked at Sha Kui with pity on his face, shook his head and said.

"You ......" Sha Kui's face was flushed with anger, and he pointed at Qin Wenhua angrily, so angry that he couldn't finish his words.

Qin Wenhua didn't care about Sha Kui's anger at all, he smiled, and then said: "Hehe, Sha Er is in charge, I came to ask you, let's not say that now King Yue is an official, and we are thieves, how can the two sides coexist peacefully, besides, every year, you have all got the money for buying the road from the 'Yan Ji Firm', and I am afraid that you will never have a bottom in your hearts, hey, the previous leaders always doubted me." Whirlwind thieves' rely on the general scoop to eat more and occupy more, now, a certain will be all the accounts made public, if you are interested, you may wish to check it yourself, hehe, it used to be good, the total number of left and right everyone has a number, and it is only about 10,000 per year, but since the beginning of this year, it has only been less than eight months, and the total number has been more than 70,000 yuan. Just like that, it's really strange that His Royal Highness King Yue didn't kill us! ”

Each of the sales money of the "Yan Ji Firm" is first handed over to the "whirlwind thief", and then the "whirlwind thief" is issued according to the proportion of the agreement between the mountains, and each mountain can only estimate a not very accurate total, only the "whirlwind thief" Qin Er, the master of the complex study, knows the real details, at this time, everyone heard Qin Wenhua report 70,000 yuan such an almost astronomical amount of money, and the thieves in the hall were all dumbfounded-this is only the money for buying the road for more than half a year, and the whole year, isn't the amount amazing- Although the trade route has been cut off after October, but now it is only the middle of July, and there are at least two months to October, and it is the peak season, this year down 100,000 yuan is not like playing, with so much money, the big guys don't need to be busy to rob anymore, just sitting at home can live a very nourishing life, and how not to surprise the leaders of the group.

"No, it can't be, right?" Sha Kui, who was originally angry, was also dumbfounded, and stammered: "Where did the 'Yan Ji Firm' get so many goods, how is this possible?" ”

Qin Wenhua pursed his lips and said with a wry smile: "It's a pity, this is the truth, every sum of money is recorded in the account, if you don't believe it, please go and check it yourself." Qin Wenhua said this, shrugged his shoulders, paused, and then continued: "If it is just a matter of money and officials, this highness is ambitious, and he plans to fight in the Quartet in the land of Anxi, and then Kaizhou to govern the county, in this way, it is bound to have a big fight with all the forces, before that, it is bound to have a solid defense, unfortunately, his rear is exactly where you are located, plus this article, there is bound to be no possibility of coexistence between us and the king of Yue, what to do, it depends on your meaning." ”

As soon as Qin Wenhua's voice fell, the buzz in the hall suddenly became loud, some were worried, some were angry, and more were scolding his mother, only a middle-aged strong man who was about forty years old stood up with a look of disbelief on his face and said: "Qin Er is in charge, how did you know that King Yue was going to fight in the Quartet in the land of Anxi?" Where does this idea of opening a state county come from? ”

This middle-aged strong man in his early years is named Amotti, not a Han Chinese, but a Western Turk, and he also has more than 300 people under him, although there are not many people, but there is the support of the Western Turks behind him, and he can be regarded as a person who can speak in the Hami area.

Qin Wenhua nodded and said: "Amoti is a good question, you should know the grievances between my family's chief scoop and Guazhou Thorn History, and I won't hide it from everyone, I' The Whirlwind Thieves have a lot of manpower buried in the official palace, and they have some status, they can access some confidential official documents, and they can also participate in certain secrets, some of His Royal Highness the King of Yue's strategies for Anxi and the secret military dispatch agreement with the Guazhou Assassin have all fallen into our hands, and the two sides will send more than 10,000 troops together and unite the countries of the Western Regions to strangle us, what are the consequences, you can weigh it yourself. ”

The combat effectiveness of the Tang Army is well known to all the commanders present, and the destruction of Gaochang and other powerful countries is only less than 60,000 troops, there are 10,000 Tang troops plus the servant armies of the countries in the Western Regions, and it is not a problem to destroy the thieves in the Hami region, and as soon as Qin Wenhua's words came out, the thieves in the hall were all speechless, and they didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

"**, fuck it, fight, kill that dog prince!" In the dead silence, Shakui was the first to jump up, and shouted at the top of his throat with red faces.

"Yes, fight with them!"

"Kill the Dog King!"

……

A group of sand thieves all shouted in chaos, and the atmosphere was suddenly lively, but Qin Wenhua sat down with a smile and no longer spoke, but Liu Whirlwind, who had always been silent, suddenly stood up, pressed his hand and said: "If you want to fight, then you can fight, but how to fight must be particular, what do you think?" ”

As soon as they saw Liu Whirlwind stand up, the sand thieves in the lobby immediately calmed down, everyone looked at Liu Whirlwind with nervous faces, there was both excitement and anxiety in their eyes, everyone knew that the Tang Army was fierce, Li Zhen was brave, if Liu Whirlwind couldn't come up with a tactic that satisfied everyone, the big guy would have to think about moving and escaping.

Everyone's thoughts couldn't hide from Liu Whirlwind, but when they saw Liu Whirlwind, they smiled coldly and said, "Come on, go on the map!" As soon as the words fell, several thieves hurriedly entered with a huge sheepskin map rolled up, and spread the map on the ground of the hall, Li Whirlwind strode to the map, pointed to the map and said: "Everyone, please see, Li Zhen, the king of Yue, wants to think of Jiaohe, there are two roads to go, one is the fifth road, the other is the mountain river, we can know the accurate news of its departure from our own news, when we can properly ambush, in order to be prepared to attack without defense, if it takes the fifth road, then our army can ......, if it is to take the mountains and rivers, our army can also ......, As long as we work together, we can win this battle, but there is one thing, we must not hurt the life of the king of Yue, and if we can catch the living, we can protect you, otherwise, if we provoke the main force of the Tang army, we will die without a place to bury, do you understand? ”

"I'll obey the orders of the chief scoop!" Seeing that this plan was almost perfect, everyone was impressed and shouted loudly......
