Chapter 52: Gong Jian

Wen Zhijun nodded and said: "Remember this Kanghai Village, this is the largest city in the Colony City, there are dragons and snakes in it, because it is close to the military camp, it is also a relatively stable city, and Huke City also has intelligence points in Kanghai Village." In each intelligence point rely on the eagle pigeon to transmit the message, this eagle pigeon is a higher security level than the traditional carrier pigeon to fly higher security level of the messenger bird, one day can transmit the information far away in Kanghai village to the intelligence point in Zicheng County, and the highest level of important information will be transmitted to Wenlu within two hours with the eagle pigeon, ordinary information will be screened with a normal speed through Hook City directly to me. ”

Liu Dan nodded and said: "No wonder the old nonsense said that he had set up a home in Zicheng County in order to do business, but he came back to Shuikou Village every few months to live for a few days and chat with him, I never thought that he was controlling the intelligence group for you, it was not like it at all, it looked very ordinary, you mentioned him, I thought for a while before I remembered his appearance." ”

Wen Zhijun said with a smile: "A natural intelligence officer, walking in the crowd, you won't pay attention to him at all, and you have been with him for many years, you don't remember what he looks like, but this huge intelligence group was established by him, Hu Kecheng is a powerful person, I tell the three of you, it's because I'm too old, I have to let you have contact with him in advance, but this is still top secret, you can't tell anyone." ”

The three nodded.

Wen Zhijun looked at the three of them and said, "It is precisely because of the large amount of intelligence in Huke City that we can know the true strength of the bandits and who the leader of the bandits is, and we can judge which bandit can pose a threat to Shuikou Village." That's why I have to tell you today. ”

Kai Hao frowned slightly, and he suddenly felt in his heart that this crisis was far more serious than he had imagined before.

Wen Zhijun said: "At present, in Dongquan District, where our Shuikou Village is located, there are many bandit gangs, large and small, ranging in number from a few dozen to several hundred, but none of them pose much threat to Shuikou Village, and they have no intention of attacking Shuikou Village, because the defense of Shuikou Village is relatively strong in densely populated areas, and even the military camps rarely arrange patrols to come to this area for this reason, and concentrate their forces on areas where there are more dangers and more bandits. However, in the last year, a group of bandits who have risen in the Depression Village of the Yunhuan Region have grown unknowingly, and they are so powerful that they are not even aware of the barracks, and their numbers have rapidly merged with small bandit gangs in the continuous looting, and now they have reached a number that you may not imagine. Five thousand people. ”

Liu Dan, Kai Hao, and Chen Meng were taken aback.

Liu Dan said: "5,000 people? So many people didn't find out in the barracks?"

Wen Zhijun said: "This group of bandits is far more powerful than we thought before, their number is ten times that of the bandit group that we think is relatively strong, and they also have a young and fierce man with brains, this person's name is Gong Jian, and he is not more than twenty-five years old. ”

Kai Hao frowned, the scale of five thousand people was indeed completely unexpected, and it was surprising that the bandit leader was so young.

Wen Zhijun said: " Gong Jian is said to have read when he was a child, at the age of thirteen, because of a dispute with the villagers, his father and brother killed three people, and they were killed on the spot, and he killed one person, because the person he killed was a bully in the village, he had to escape, and mingled in the surrounding bandit den, because he was clever but acted fiercely, he gradually had his own bandit team, and it was constantly expanding, this was a man who was born a bandit, and soon, his team actually expanded to two hundred people, he immediately killed back to the village, and killed all the bullies who had a grudge against him, and since then, he has basically been around the depression village activities, in order to get his own safetySome young people from the Depression Village also joined his bandit team, and his strength began to expand outward. ”

Wen Zhijun took a sip of tea and said: " When he was eighteen years old, he saw the local daughter of a rich man surnamed Zhao in Lishui County, near the No. 5 military camp, fell in love at first sight, tried every way to get acquainted, and asked his mother to propose, and it was very smooth, after marrying Zhao Chunxiang, he gave birth to a son and two daughters, during that time, his bandit gang did not have a very obvious increase in strength, and it has been maintained at about five hundred, but three years ago, the situation was chaotic, and the supervision of the military camp began to have loopholes, Gong Jian immediately took the opportunity to develop his strength, and last year, the number of bandits under his control increased to more than four thousand, and the huge team needed various resources to supply, and the relatively prosperous and stable Shuikou Village is one of their goals in the past two years. ”

Liu Dan said: "Elder Wen, this information is too detailed, it seems that Lao Hu has indeed done a good job. ”

Wen Zhijun said: "It is very difficult to get this information, Hu Kecheng selected the valuable from a large number of information, and gradually put it together into a complete intelligence, what I told you seems to be a simple history of the development of just a bandit, but it was obtained by Hu Kecheng using many people, and in this process, some of his secret sons also suffered losses." It wasn't until three days ago that Hook City specifically told me about this information. ”

Kai Hao took a thoughtful sip of tea.

If the other party has 5,000 people, it is very difficult for Shuikou Village to defend the current 2,000-person village protection group, because the vast majority of the members of the village protection group have no actual combat experience, which is equivalent to ordinary people, but the other party is an experienced bandit, and the experience of fighting and killing people is far beyond ordinary people.

Wen Zhijun glanced at him and said, "Kai Hao, do you think the preparations you have made so far can curb Gong Jian's bandits?"

Kai Hao nodded and said: "If the bandits have a strategic attack during the day, they may be able to break through the outer fence wall soon, and when the inner city wall is defended, if there is a labyrinth street obstruction, they will not be able to break through the inner city for a while." But the war will be terrible, and our people will lose a lot. ”

Wen Zhijun said: "If they can hide the key direction of attack, the inner city will also break through quickly." ”

"If we have three months, we can do a good job of defending and mobilize more people to join the village protection group, in that case, it will be more likely to resist their attack, but if they get the news that we are preparing for war, they may attack early," he said. ”

Wen Zhijun said: "They are all racing against time to attack a powerful village, and bandits also need to make pre-war preparations. ”

Kai Hao said, "Elder Wen, if there is information on the location of the bandits, can you report it to the Imperial Military Camp to exterminate them?"

Wen Zhijun took a thin brush and wrote the word "barracks" on the table.
