On the other side, Wen Yunxiang was also in full swing preparing to attack the mountain with fire.

Although the people below had some ideas in their hearts, they had to approve of Wen Yunxiang's decision, after all, this was also the best way to attack the mountain.

Xue Xin obeyed Wen Yunxiang's arrangement and ordered people to prepare a large amount of saltpeter, dry firewood, and fire oil, and ordered five hundred elite soldiers to quietly enter the mountain at night.

Along the main road and in the dense jungle, they were evenly covered with dry firewood for ignition, and when the final negotiations were fruitless, the archers were ordered to shoot the feathered arrows that lit the flames into the forest.

Then it will be a spark that will be enough to ignite the mountain.

Now, who should come and go for this negotiation? It stands to reason that Wen Yunxiang, who is the prince, should personally negotiate with the head of the thieves in this mountain.

It's just that you can't put the prince in danger, if you change it to someone else, you won't buy it.

At this time, Wen Yunxiang squinted and pondered for a moment, the fist in his hand clenched a little, and suddenly opened his eyes to face everyone

"I'll go, as the commander of an army, the dignified prince of the Ming Kingdom, how can I be a person who hides behind others."

This time, Wen Yunxiang also made up his mind to face this situation, after all, he has always been cowardly since he was a child, and how can he become a big thing if he can't do this thing well.

Xue Xin immediately knelt down with a group of generals and saluted Wen Yunxiang with his fists

"This gang of thieves is extremely cunning, Your Highness must be careful, I will send someone to prepare in secret, and once an abnormality is discovered, His Highness will be protected in time."

Wen Yunxiang nodded slightly, after all, this Xue Xin is a veteran, so naturally the preparation is very proper, and he is also very relieved.

Just as Wen Yunxiang walked out of the tent, the thrush who had been eavesdropping on the side of the tent ran over and knelt down in front of Wen Yunxiang, blocking Wen Yunxiang's way.

Xue Xin on the side also happened to come out, frowning and saying to the thrush

"You little soldier, inexplicably collided with His Highness."

"Subordinates know mistakes, subordinates know mistakes." Thrush pretended to be cowardly.

Wen Yunxiang naturally saw that this figure was the thrush, she suddenly blocked her way at this time, there must be something to tell, her eyes rolled, and she said to the thrush

"The tip report from the spies is just put on the desk of the main hall, you don't have to come in person, how can you not remember it for a long time."

Seeing the puzzled expressions on Xue Xin and the others' faces, the thrush immediately bowed his hand to Wen Yunxiang

"The subordinates know that they are wrong, and the line is urgent, and the subordinates want His Highness to take a look at it immediately."

Wen Yunxiang paused for a moment, then turned to Xue Xindao

"Commander Xue, you can help me prepare first, and I'll come when I go."

With that, Wen Yunxiang walked in the direction of his big tent with the thrush.

"Say, what's the matter with stopping me in such a hurry?"

Thrush lowered his eyebrows and said to Wen Yunxiang

"Your Highness, it is not possible at this time, my subordinates went into this mountain at night to investigate, and found that their village was divided into two factions, the main battle and the main peace faction, if they wait for two days after the internal strife, there is no hurry to plan again."

Thrush kept her head down and didn't let Wen Yunxiang see the change in her expression, and this remark must have been able to hide it from him.

As she wished, Wen Yunxiang pondered for a moment

"In that case, this is not the best time to go and negotiate an attack." If you can't negotiate with you, you will immediately attack by fire, so the time of negotiation is the time to attack the mountain.

The thrush didn't speak, which meant that he acquiesced to Wen Yunxiang's thoughts.

Wen Yunxiang immediately opened his camp tent and walked out, and seeing that Xue Xin had already integrated the army outside the camp, he stepped forward and ordered a guard to go and summon Xue Xin.

"Your Highness."

Wen Yunxiang pulled Xue Xin up and whispered to him

"Commander Xue, it is not appropriate to send troops today, wait for two days to delay and then attack the mountain."

That Xue Xin was puzzled, but he also had to obey Wen Yunxiang's orders, and he didn't dare to question Wen Yunxiang in doubt.

"Wechen obeys."

Xue Xin turned around and walked towards the army, still muttering a little in his heart, isn't this big prince cowardly?

At this time, preparations were also in full swing in the mountains, groups of old and weak women and children hurriedly left from the secret passage, and young and middle-aged men transported batch after batch of corpses from the secret passage.

One of them, a very burly man with a scar on his face, said incomprehensibly to the weak scholar

"Owner of the village, why don't we fight with the officers and soldiers."

The Scar Man's tone was filled with disdain and a bit of arrogance.

The scholar tightened the cloak on his body, turned the white jade wrench between his fingers, and looked ahead without looking at the scar man

"Just do what you are told, where did you come from, and why?"

The scar man seemed to have something in his throat, but he swallowed his saliva and didn't say it.

The scholar looked at the scar man and said calmly

"Are the corpses ready?"

"There are still a hundred missing, and they will all be shipped by noon tomorrow by expedited today."

The scholar nodded, "That's fine." ”

In this way, it was easy to make a difference, and there were their men at the bottom of the mountain to delay the soldiers and horses who were about to attack the mountain.

The scholar coughed a few times, quickly took out the handkerchief he was carrying and covered his mouth, pinched the bloodstained handkerchief and put it back on his chest, not letting the scar man see it.

The scarred man was nervous for a moment, quickly turned around and poured water, and brought a cup of hot water to the scholar.

The scholar smiled at the scar man and asked him to step down.

His life itself is running out, but he can do his best to protect the whole village, and he can be regarded as having an explanation for himself, and that person ......

After all, all the people below them were just pawns for him, and he would not pity these inconsequential people at all, and he had already arranged their life and death future from the beginning.

The scholar couldn't help sneering, he wanted so many innocent lives to become a stepping stone for that person to ascend to the top, but he thought very thoroughly, he would not let him succeed like this.

At the beginning, the people in this village were not robbers, but it was also a simple cottage, but this backer couldn't afford to support such a prosperous village after all, and finally embarked on the road of robbing the villagers under the mountain.

The matter of this cottage was reported to the imperial court by the government a few years ago, but for some reason, it didn't reach Wen Mingshi's ears.

Instead, he was pressed down by the prime minister, and went to the cottage without permission to lure him with heavy money, promising to supply the village with 500 taels of gold a year, and asking them to make a big deal about it.

From robbing the people under the mountain to hijacking the dart car and then crashing into the government, the strength of the cottage has been expanded step by step, to the point where things can no longer be covered.

Wen Mingshi received the news reported at all levels and sent troops to suppress it.

But all this is in the layout of the prime minister.

Wen Yunxiang's leading troops to the expedition was exactly what he wanted.
