Chapter 158: Leading the War

"Didn't you have such a plan for a long time? Use me as bait to get noticed by the bandits, and then you're taking advantage of it.

However, I think that when the mountain bandits meet me and arrest me, it is just a matter of one or two people, and it is a matter of incident, and it is not very effective. Only by breaking into the interior of those bandits can you master more things.

If I can't give you a message, then I'll operate in it, and let the place where the mountain bandits live be burned with a fire. Li Jicai's face did not change and his heart did not beat, as if he was not talking about him or her at all, but someone else.

"But if your leg is broken, you already have injuries on your body, will it be life-threatening for a long time, or the mountain bandits will ...... you when they see you?"

"Only people like me won't attract their attention, but suddenly there are new people mixed in the landscape, which will definitely arouse their suspicions."

"Looks like you've figured it out."

"It's not that I think about it clearly, I just think I can do it, you also said, I'm just a small person in the market, maybe the lowly people will be more familiar with each other's psychology.

If I can blend in with that cottage, and the cottage burns down, it will be equivalent to giving you a signal on the mountain

I have explored the terrain of Cuiluo Mountain, and it is impossible to completely encircle it, so you can only rush up the mountain to completely surround the place where the mountain bandits are.

War was declared three times, and when the mountain bandits came down, they paid attention to the main route where the mountain bandits appeared, and sent people to sneak into the mountains and forests to investigate. “

"Will they come out if war is declared?" Jiang Xihu was a little skeptical.

"You killed their closest relatives and flesh, there are many mountain people among these mountain bandits, although there are many people who have lost their conscience, but there are also some people who have not lost their conscience, they will definitely get entangled, and then go down the mountain." Li Jicai has this confidence.

"That'...... You are ready to prepare, and when the time is right, I will send you out, as for how you will be in the mountain bandit village, it is up to you. ”

Li Jicai didn't speak, looked at Jiang Xihu, and nodded lightly, maybe she didn't notice it herself at this moment, she trembled slightly.

"Are you afraid?" Jiang Xihu originally planned to walk out of the door, but suddenly turned his head sideways, looked at Li Jicai, and asked hesitantly.

"You say, if I do this, do I have made a great contribution?

I still have a lot of useful things, and I'm sure you'll find out later. “

"That's how you want to be an official?"

"I want to think about it, I want to die if I die."

"If you want to deal with him, I can help you, but you don't have to openly appear in the court as a woman, you must know that there is no room for women in this court."

"If there's a precedent, why can't I? Even if I can't tolerate it, if I have meritorious deeds, I can't tolerate it!

I want to defeat him with my own hands, I want to be a thorn in his eye, a thorn in his flesh, I want this court to no longer cover him with one hand, and I will tear off half of it. “

Although Li Jicai tried her best to make her tone sound very light, her clenched hands showed that her heart was not calm at this moment.

She was very afraid, very afraid that Jiang Xihu would laugh at herself mercilessly like this, and she was very afraid that her arrogant words would provoke ridicule.

However, unlike before, Jiang Xihu turned his head after listening, and then stood in place for a while, and finally left without saying anything.

This made Li Jicai suddenly feel a little at ease.

The reason why Jiang Xihu didn't say Li Jicai was purely because he didn't know what to say, and he didn't know why this woman had such a bold idea.

If she knew the real truth about the fire, she didn't know what she would think. Maybe then they will become enemies, right?

As far as the strategy she proposed, although she thought well and planned it confidently, the key to this matter was whether she could successfully break into the mountain bandit's village and then operate.

Jiang Xihu's reinforcements are still on the way, and they can't rush over for a while.

According to what Li Jicai said, the first thing he did was to take the family members of the mountain bandits, and the practice was to sit together, because most of these mountain bandits were ordinary people who went up the mountain and fell into the grass, and since they chose to confront the imperial court and do the murder and overselling the goods, they must bear the corresponding price.

Although the people around him were persuading him not to hurt innocent people, Jiang Xihu did not follow the advice of those people, and if he did not make these bandits afraid of the root cause, they would not dare to commit it again.

Then the big mountain bandits will bring small mountain bandits, mountain bandits from generation to generation, so will the imperial court suppress them every year? Do you have to come every year?

This time, he wanted to defeat the mountain bandits, so he should use strong and strong means, not Huairou.

If he doesn't complete this task this time, will others think he is incompetent again?

Jiang Xihu has always been a person who will not be easily swayed, he has his own ideas, and this time what Li Jicai said went to his heart.

It has been more than a month since he came to Kuayi, and the matter of the spring drought has been taken care of by Jiang Xihu's subordinates and those officials who were sent, and they are under Jiang Xihu's supervision.

The money and food have been distributed in place.

Jiang Xihu also went to inspect once or twice when he was in the middle, and after finding that there was no major problem, he concentrated on dealing with the mountain bandits.

Everything must not be rushed, but step by step, according to what Li Jicai said, after they executed the relatives of those mountain bandits, they aroused the anger of those bandits.

Therefore, when Jiang Xihu declared war on them, the other party really made peace.

In order to preserve his strength and let those bandits underestimate the enemy, Jiang Xihu did not send many people for the first time.

It's just estimated that there are about a hundred people.

When the two sides fought for the first time, the arrogance on the mountain bandits' side was more arrogant than Jiang Xihu's, maybe it was really fearless.

Jiang Xihu knew this, so he warned his men to pretend to be a little weak and afraid when facing the mountain bandits, and did not want to fight them head-on.

Xiao Qiang warned his subordinates when he was in the bandits, but some of his subordinates insisted on going, and when they couldn't stop him, Xiao Qiang had to let them go to death.

This bandit leader on Cuiluo Mountain, Xiao Qiang.

He grew up eating hundreds of family meals, and was later taken in by a merchant as an errand runner. But the businessman was not a good person, and often beat Xiao Qiang.

Later, Xiao Qiang couldn't bear it anymore, so she killed the merchant's family, and then went up the mountain and fell into the grass.

He hadn't read much, but he had learned a lot over the years of traveling with businessmen, and he had seen a little bit of the world and was a little scheming.

To be able to be in the position of the bandit leader is still a bit of a means.

When he received news from the government that the capital had sent people to deal with the bandits on Kuayi's side, he had considered whether to change his den.

Because they have saved a lot of money and food over the years, even if they squat in the mountains for two or three years and don't come out, there is no problem, and there is no need to fight with these people in the capital.

There are many of them, and they can only rely on the geographical advantages of the mountains and forests to preserve themselves, as long as they are in the mountains, the other party will not be able to attack.

And Cuiluo Mountain is so big, even if you search the mountain, you can't find them.

It can be said that they are infallible.

But the plan couldn't catch up with the changes, Xiao Qiang never thought that the first thing that the people from the capital thought of was to attack their relatives at the bottom of the mountain.

They went up the mountain and fell into the grass, but there was no morality, and their reputation was not very good, so their families at the bottom of the mountain refused to live with them on the mountain, after all, the people and bandits colluded together, and the place was completely ruined.

Some parents are old and it is inconvenient to move up and down the mountain, and some children still have to go to school, so naturally they can't stay on the mountain.

And they were also ashamed to have a father who was a bandit, and from time to time the men in the village would send some money to the village to secretly support their original family.

Xiao Qiang didn't stop them, and he also raised three women at the foot of the mountain, but in the end they were all killed by the people who came into the city.

It's not that he isn't angry, but since ancient times, bandits and officials have never had a good end, although he can buy the officials here, but he can't buy the officials all over the world.

This place is not far from Liangzhou City, if those people are not to guard the border pass, it is easy to come from Liangzhou City to kill them anytime and anywhere.

Xiao Qiang, this is because she has seen through this and understands that she is surviving in the cracks, so she is so conservative.

But those people, those under him, how can they endure it?

"Report~~~"

Xiao Qiang was sitting in the position of the owner of the village in the hall, and there were ten chairs on both sides of the bottom, but these ten chairs were empty.

The people sitting in the chairs all went to fight against the officers and soldiers, and he sat alone in the empty walled hall, contemplating and thinking.

The tiger fur coat she was wearing was wrapped in a lean and thin body, and the gorgeous silk cloth sitting under her buttocks was a little wrinkled, and Xiao Qiang was a little restless.

I don't know how the battle is going at this moment.

There was a sound of announcement in the distance outside, and Xiao Qiang immediately stood upright.

A bandit who specializes in integrity trotted in, and the look on his face was agitated.

After Xiao Qiang saw someone coming to report, she turned her body to Lizheng and prepared to listen to the news from his front line, hoping that there would not be too many casualties.

Although their equipment is not bad, but compared with those regular officers and soldiers, there is no comparison without organization and discipline, usually when they fight and rob houses, except for the use of brute force, strong to plunder, to slash and kill, they have not been trained at all, and they cannot be compared with well-trained armies at all.

This is what Xiao Qiang is most worried about.

Originally, he didn't want to expand the village into anything, but hundreds of brothers also had to eat, and these hundreds of brothers had to eat, and their families had to eat.

Now that the officers and soldiers are coming, it is equivalent to cutting off their back road, their families are gone, and their place of survival is also threatened, so it is no wonder that the brothers want to fight them.
