The next morning, Ye Zheng woke up, in fact, he didn't sleep for long, mainly because he had the habit of recognizing the bed, and he couldn't sleep well in a strange environment.

After waking up, he got dressed and walked out of the door, and at this time, the eight mountain bandit masters who were guarding outside saluted him respectfully. "Alliance Leader!"

Ye Zheng nodded with a smile and said, "Have you not slept all night? ”

When the eight mountain bandit masters saw that their alliance leader actually cared so much about them, they immediately showed a look of emotion.

"The safety of the alliance leader is the most important, for the safety of the alliance leader, the subordinates are not sleeping, even let the subordinates go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire, and we will not hesitate to do so. ”

Ye Zheng smiled and said, "Look at what you said is so serious, hehe, forget it, now that it's dawn, most of our brothers should be up, you don't have to worry about my safety, let's go find a place to rest." Brothers are not iron-clad, how can they do it if they don't rest?"

Hearing this, the eight mountain bandit masters showed a look of embarrassment on their faces while being moved, Ye Zheng understood what was going on at a glance, waved his hand on the spot, and said, "Don't worry, you guys go and rest quickly, I will naturally talk to the master of Xiahou Village." ”

When the eight mountain bandit masters heard this, they all bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you for the alliance leader's care, then the subordinates will retreat." ”

Ye Zheng didn't speak, just waved his hand, signaling them to leave on their own to find a place to rest.

Not long after the eight mountain bandit masters who protected Ye Zheng's safety left, Xiahou Village Master and Liu Chengfeng and other mountain bandit leaders found Ye Zheng's resting place at this time.

As soon as they came, they saw Ye Zheng's muscles and bones moving outside the house, and suddenly, everyone stepped forward to respectfully greet him. At this time, the owner of Xiahou Village saw that Ye Zheng was the only one here, and the eight mountain bandit masters he sent to protect him were gone, and his face changed at the moment, and the anger in his eyes flashed.

At this time, the change in expression on the face of the owner of Xiahou Village had long been noticed by Ye Zheng, he knew why the owner of Xiahou Village was angry, so he walked over at the moment, patted Xiahou on the shoulder with a smile and said: "Last night, the owner of Xiahou Village really bothered, those eight brothers have been persuaded by me to rest, the owner of Xiahou Village should not think that they are lazy and slip away, and when the time comes, I will go back and punish them, I will not agree!"

Hearing this, the face of the lord of Xiahou Village relaxed, and he smiled awkwardly: "Why did the alliance leader call them away so early, if there are lawbreakers in the Black Dragon Village who want to take the opportunity to murder the alliance leader, then what should it be." ”

Ye Zheng laughed and said: "The owner of Xiahou Village is too worried, with your gang of tough masters, I will see who dares to come to my attention." ”

After speaking, he pointed to the outside of the courtyard and said, "Okay, okay, brothers, let's go outside and take a look at what kind of scale this Black Dragon Village, which is known as the largest village in Cangliang Mountain, hehe, I took it last night, and I haven't seen its whole picture until now." ”

With that, Ye Zheng took the lead, with the support of the mountain bandit leaders, walked out of the courtyard where he rested last night, and went outside to inspect the terrain of Black Dragon Village.

Under the leadership of Ye Zheng, a group of mountain bandit leaders inspected the village of Black Dragon Village, and along the way, everyone walked through the houses and alleys, pointing at the houses and buildings of this Black Dragon Village, and commenting and admiring. At the same time, they met many of their own mountain bandit brothers on the road, and they respectfully saluted Ye Zheng and others, and Ye Zheng did not hesitate to return the salute with a smile.

Ye Zheng and the others turned around the Black Dragon Village, and they also had a general understanding of the scale and geographical location of the Black Dragon Village.

In fact, I have to say that the scale of this Black Dragon Village is quite huge, all kinds of houses and courtyards and some other buildings in the Black Dragon Village are all distributed in the center of the Black Dragon Valley, and there are no less than thousands of houses and thatched houses before and after, not to mention other cottages in Cangliang Mountain, even the general town can not compare.

The Black Dragon Village occupies a large area, not to mention, and its geographical location is also very superior, the Black Dragon Valley takes the end of the canyon as the entrance, from the mouth of the valley to the end of the valley, it must be at least seven or eight miles long, the shape of the valley is like a big fish lying flat, the two ends are narrow, and the middle is wide. According to Liu Chengfeng's estimation after watching the topography of the Black Dragon Valley, the widest place in the middle of the Black Dragon Valley must be at least two or three miles wide, so calculated, the total area in the Black Dragon Valley is already close to more than ten square kilometers.

With such a huge valley area, not to mention the Black Dragon Village where thousands of people are stationed, even if all the mountain bandit forces in the entire Cangliang Mountain are relocated to the Black Dragon Valley, it will not be crowded at all. What's even more rare and valuable is that the terrain in this Black Dragon Valley is flat, the soil is soft, and the flowers and trees are all around, which seems to be very vibrant, especially in the right side of the valley, there is actually a clear and winding river, so there is no need to worry about the water source problem in this Black Dragon Village.

Ye Zheng led a group of mountain bandit leaders to the edge of the river, he bent down, lowered his head and drank a few handfuls of river water in the river, and then washed his face a few handfuls with the clear and cool river water, and suddenly, he felt a shock in his spirit.

At this time, Ye Zheng slowly stood up from the river, turned to look at the vast and fertile land by the river, and muttered praise: "Good place, good place, this Black Dragon Valley is really a good place." ”

For this remark, the leaders of the mountain bandits standing beside him also expressed their deep agreement.

At this time, Ye Zheng seemed to think of something, his heart moved, he glanced back at the leaders of the mountain bandits, and said slowly: "After everyone sees the whole picture of this Black Dragon Valley, do you think that this is a good place to set up camp." ”

When the leaders of the mountain bandits heard this, they nodded one after another and said: "That's true, it's a pity, it's a pity, it has been occupied by the Black Dragon Village before, but now it's okay, it completely belongs to our Desolate Alliance." ”

Ye Zheng smiled slightly and said, "I suddenly have an idea, I don't know what will happen to everyone when they hear it?"

Everyone was stunned and looked at him suspiciously, wondering what he was thinking.

At this time, Ye Zheng took a slight breath and said, "After the last time we looted in the jurisdiction of Linjiang City, what do you think will happen to the imperial court next?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned and fell into thought. At this time, suddenly a mountain bandit leader said: "In a few months, the imperial court will definitely send a large army to Cangliang Mountain to suppress bandits, this time it is estimated that the bandit suppression will be the largest in the history of Cangliang Mountain, and we and the imperial court have reached an endless situation, because we have touched the bottom line of the imperial court." ”

Ye Zheng nodded in agreement.

At this time, Liu Chengfeng, who was standing behind Ye Zheng, also sighed and said: " In the past, the imperial court did not send heavy troops to clear us, that is because we were just a small fight at that time, not a climate, coupled with the continuous rebellion of the seven counties outside the gate over the years, the court's mind is on the rebellion and rehabilitation, where will there be extra troops and efforts to pay attention to us, but now it is very different, after the last time we ransacked more than a dozen counties and towns in the jurisdiction of Linjiang, it is estimated that at this time the king of Liang must have been thundered and angry, maybe at this time the army of Linjiang City has been requisitioned back. If you want me to see it, as long as the regular army of Linjiang City returns to the city, then it will be the time for the imperial court to use troops against our Cangliang Mountain. ”

Liu Chengfeng's words expressed the worries of all the mountain bandit leaders present, but at this time, Ye Zheng said indifferently: "Since the imperial court is about to use troops against us, our brothers of the Nine Peaks of the Desolate Nine Mountains and the Twelve Peaks can't sit still, we must find a perfect way to fight." Therefore, I want everyone to relocate all their respective forces to the Black Dragon Valley. ”

As soon as these words came out, the bodies of all the mountain bandit leaders were shocked, and the expressions on their faces were also different.

Ye Zheng paused for a moment and said again: "You should know that at present, although we have formed an alliance with the Twelve Peaks of the Desolate Nine Mountains, our hearts are together, but our strength is not compatible. If the imperial court sends a large army to clean up, and if we are still like now, all the cottage forces are distributed all over Cangliang Mountain, then we will definitely be destroyed by the imperial army one by one. Therefore, in order to ensure that we can concentrate and unify our forces to fight against the officers and soldiers, we must gather all the cottage forces, and at present, in the entire Canghuang Mountain, only the Black Dragon Valley is the most suitable place, where the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, as long as we arrange a trap and ambush at the entrance of the canyon, we will definitely be able to take advantage of the geographical advantage to defend the Black Dragon Valley as impregnable, making it difficult for the imperial army to move forward. What do you think of me?"

After hearing Ye Zheng's words, the leaders of the mountain bandits actually felt very reasonable in their hearts, but it was difficult to accept them all to give up the foundation they had worked hard for many years and move to this Black Dragon Valley. Because, although they have formed an alliance and call Ye Zheng the leader of the alliance, they will also obey and cooperate with his orders and instructions, but as long as they return to their own territory, they will still be free and easy Mountain King, if they really follow what Ye Zheng said, move the village to the Black Dragon Valley, then from now on they will be completely reduced to Ye Zheng's subordinates, and at that time, they will have to look at other people's faces and eyes to do anything, where is there a lot of happiness in their own cottage.

But what made them even more embarrassed was that if they didn't relocate the cottage to the Black Dragon Valley, if the imperial army came, they would definitely not be able to escape the end of being exterminated, after all, no matter how strong a cottage is, it can't be stronger than the alliance of the entire Cangdesolate Mountain. So, to merge or not to relocate? Relocation is not relocation? Suddenly, all the mountain bandit leaders present were very conflicted.

Ye Zheng looked at the group of mountain bandit leaders with a smile on his face, knowing that this kind of thing was urgent, and they had to let their group of mountain kings know the benefits and disadvantages and think about it clearly, so that they could willingly follow their ideas, so as to relocate all the people and horses of the cottage to the Black Dragon Valley.

At this time, Liu Chengfeng lowered his head and muttered thoughtfully for a moment, slowly raised his head, and decided: "Alliance leader, what you just said is very reasonable, therefore, the subordinates decided to lead all the people of Qingfeng Village to move to the Black Dragon Valley in three days, so that according to the alliance leader's idea, gather people and horses to fight against the imperial army." ”

Hearing this, Ye Zheng was quite satisfied, and secretly said that with you Liu Chengfeng, the leader, taking the lead, then the others are not all obedient.

Sure enough, just after Liu Chengfeng decided to move to Black Dragon Valley, the owner of Xiahou Village also immediately expressed his position, saying that he would also respond to the call of the alliance leader for a long-term vision and lead all the horses of Xiahou Village to move to Black Dragon Valley as soon as possible.

With Liu Chengfeng and Xiahou Zhai Lord, the two most powerful and prestigious mountain bandit leaders, taking the lead, the others, although they were still a little hesitant, had no choice but to follow the large army.

In this way, all the mountain bandit forces in Cangliang Mountain, under the call of our alliance leader Ye Zheng, are all preparing to move to the Black Dragon Valley, planning to resist the regular army sent by the imperial court in the future.
