Since Xia Yu, there have been countries in the world, and this world has never been the same.

When Hu Zi didn't come, it was the glorious and prosperous era of Daqi, which could be called Chengping from all over the world, but Li Hu's life was not very good.

The landlord Liu Shi bribed and bribed officials, always wanting to annex his family's fertile land, so that he could turn from a solid family into a tenant or a homeless person.

If it weren't for the convenient irrigation water sources and drainage ditches, he was not afraid of natural disasters, and he was a strong man in the township, I was afraid that Li Hu would have become a completely poor family long ago.

In the peaceful and prosperous times, Li Hu did not enjoy any benefits, and in the turbulent times, he could not escape the disaster. should have been ruined, and nothing was left behind.

For Li Hu, the life changes brought about by the chaos of the world made him fall directly into purgatory.

On the contrary, Liu Shi, a wealthy man, enjoyed prosperity and wealth before the war, and after the change of dynasty after the beard came, he was still a landlord, and his wealth did not decrease but increased, and his life was nourishing.

Comparing the two, the difference is embarrassing.

If it weren't for Cao Yunye coming tonight, Li Hu would have no possibility of revenge at all, and he would have to die.

Li Hu couldn't think through the root cause of his life becoming like this, he simply blamed the blame on his beard. Killing the bearded county commander tonight, he felt very happy.

In the future, he can continue to kill beards with Cao Yunye, he is full of energy. On the way to Baiyangdian, he has made it his biggest mission in his life to work hard with his beard.

Baiyangdian is not far from Tangxing County, and when Li Hu arrived at the water village here, he found that Cao Yunye's manpower was much more than he imagined.

That's not one or two hundred.

He didn't count the exact number of people, because he saw only a limited number of people, and he only felt that there must be more than five hundred.

Li Hu also knew that the pill Cao Yunye gave him could help him improve his body and obtain the foundation of cultivation.

When he arrived at Shuizhai, Cao Yunye arranged a place for him to live, gave him another pill, and told him that whether he could become a cultivator or not depended on his creation.

As a result, Li Hu finally figured out that Cao Yunye had been growing his team these days.

Because he is a well-known country hero, Cao Yunye has long thought about pulling him into the gang, so he pays close attention to him and knows his situation.

Cao Yunye's dark stake has actually entered Tangxing County a long time ago, and he still has eyeliner in various villages, and he is clear about the wind and grass in various places, including what happened to him.

Obviously, Cao Yunye has a big force behind him, and he wants to do big things.

The one who supports Cao Yunye behind the scenes is naturally the people of Tsing Yi.

Li Hu had heard the phrase "Tsing Yi people remove evil knives", and knew that the other party was elusive and unstrong, which was a nightmare for many bullies in the fish and meat township who were rich and unkind.

But since the invasion of Huzi, Li Hu has not heard of the other party's deeds, and originally thought that the other party would not dare to fight with Huzi, but he didn't expect that the other party was just Taoguang and obscure, and secretly had such a big arrangement.

According to Cao Yunye's guidance, with the help of the pill, Li Hu spent three days and three nights to transform from an ordinary person to a cultivator.

At his age, he has already passed the best time for cultivation, and even if he steps on the threshold of cultivation now, his future achievements will not be high.

Cao Yunye told him with regret that with his talent, let alone small cultivation, as long as he could start cultivating before the age of sixteen, the Yuan Shen Realm would be able to get it.

With the current situation, it will be at most a royal qi realm in the future.

Through Cao Yunye's mouth, Li Hu knew the division of the cultivator's realm, but he didn't have a clear understanding of what the Yuan Shen realm meant.

At most, he felt that it was a height above the clouds, and it was not at all within the reach of a rural farmer like him, so it was nothing to him if he couldn't achieve the Yuan Shen Realm.

Being able to become a cultivator was already an earth-shattering joy for him.

After becoming a cultivator and really having a position under Cao Yunye, Li Hu knew more things and could express some of his own views on the situation.

In particular, his youngest daughter was picked up from home by Cao Yunye's people, and some young people who had morality in their hearts and hated beards came to Baiyangdian to follow him, and Li Hu was determined to regard Baiyangdian Water Village as his new home.

"A few days ago, we attacked the county seat of Tangxing, killed the county commander and the county lieutenant, and burned the county office, making a huge noise, and the beard must not tolerate it, once the bearded army comes to encircle and suppress us, isn't it extremely dangerous for us?"

When following Cao Yunye to inspect the water village, Li Hu told the other party his worries.

"That's exactly what I wanted. ”

Cao Yunye stood on the wall and looked at the lake in the distance, looking far away.

Li Hu was surprised and said, "We only have a few hundred people, if Hu Zi sends a large army to surround us on all sides, how can we deal with it?"

Cao Yunye smiled, pointed to the vast and water-covered Baiyangdian Lake, and was full of spirit: "Baiyangdian is a vast place with great potential, I have been entrenched here for many years, and I am familiar with every grass and tree here."

"If they dare to come, not to mention more, Baiyangdian can still accommodate thousands of corpses. ”

The other party is full of pride, and he looks like he is holding a pearl of wisdom.

Li Hu was impressed by this demeanor and could no longer say the opposite.

It's just that he still feels that something is wrong in his heart.

The complex water network of Baiyangdian is indeed not conducive to the conquest of large armies who are not familiar with this place, especially the beard that is not familiar with water. But Hu Zi dispatched a large army to suppress the bandits, and there must be a large number of elite cultivators, and there are also strong masters to take the lead.

If the powerful cultivator of the other party comes straight to the water village and captures the thief and captures the king first, what should the water village do?

A few days later, the bearded army arrived.

The number of people is quite large, according to the report, more than a thousand.

To exterminate a group of Baiyangdian water bandits, Hu Zi dispatched a regular army of 1,000 people, and it is conceivable that the other party does not want to make any mistakes.

Cao Yunye's killing in Tangxing County that day must have attracted the attention of Hu Zi.

Although the people of Shuizhai have geographical advantages, the biggest shortcoming is that they are not regular troops, they are not proficient in warfare, and their combat power cannot be compared with the regular army.

Fortunately, the morale was good, and when Cao Yunye sent out the troops in shares, everyone was eager to try.

A day later, the men and horses of the two sides handed hands one after another in Hudian, although Li Hu stayed in the water village with Cao Yunye and did not participate in the specific battles below, but through a military report, he was still able to keep abreast of the battle situation everywhere.

In the first stage of the battle, the soldiers and horses of Shuizhai relied on their familiarity with the terrain and the ambush in advance, and they came out of the reeds to ambush each other, constantly harassing the other party, not seeking to kill or injure, but only to lure the other party into the ambush circle and ambush in shares.

At this stage of the battle, the battle did not go well, and the bearded fleet did not pay attention to the attack, nor did it divide its forces to pursue the attackers, even if there were soldiers killed and wounded, they still went straight to the water village.

It stands to reason that the waters of Baiyangdian are wide, and the location of the water village is very secret, even if the other party looks for ten days and a half months, it may not be able to find it, but now the other party seems to have an eye in the sky.

Obviously, there are guides in the bearded army, and they are still locals who are extremely familiar with Baiyangdian, and they probably knew the location of the water village before!

Li Hu felt very strange, what kind of lair could anyone know?

But the battle situation was like this, and Li Hu couldn't help but worry.

In the second stage of the battle, the bearded fleet began to attack the water village head-on.

Ordinary Beihu warriors are indeed not familiar with water warfare, but since they arrived at Shuizhai, the battle has become a fortification, and the other party relies on the elite cultivators, and as soon as Wu starts the offensive, he will let Shuizhai be killed and wounded again and again.

Fortunately, Cao Yunye withdrew his manpower one step earlier and stuck to the water village, so he was not beaten down by the other party because of the lack of troops.

Li Hu saw all the soldiers, and there were eight hundred people in total!

At this time, Li Hu discovered that Cao Yunye had a large number of cultivators under his command, and it was not as he thought before, they were bandits who were not proficient in battle formation tactics, and they would be pressed and beaten as soon as they encountered the regular army.

On the contrary, the two sides went back and forth, and the fight was very fierce.

There is indeed a master in the bearded army, and that is the commander of the Yuan God Realm.

But before the war, Cao Yunye, the leader of the small and medium-sized river bandits, who obviously only had one or two hundred people under his command - as far as Li Hu knew, was like this - turned out to be the Yuan Shen Realm!

The two sides fought evenly.

Li Hu also fought with Cao Yunye's personal guards with the commander's personal soldiers.

In this bloody battle, Shuizhai, which was inferior in troops, actually relied on the convenience of defense to kill the beard.

So the battle continued day and night, and two days passed in the blink of an eye.

Two days later, because of the lack of armor, the Shuizhai soldiers were killed and wounded nearly thirty percent, and the bearded soldiers were all wearing armor, even if they were the attackers, the casualties were only half of the Shuizhai people.

If you continue to fight like this, in two days, the water village will be captured!

Li Hu, who was injured, grew up in the battle and was able to judge the situation.

He felt hopeless.

But in desperation, he chose to fight hard.

Killing one is enough, killing two is enough to earn.

Just when he was about to die on the battlefield, a sudden change occurred.

In Baiyangdian Lake, many boats appeared in all directions, and each boat was covered with people, and when Beard stormed the water village, they launched a sneak attack on Beard from the back!

Beard was suddenly killed and wounded, and his feet were in chaos.

Seeing the reinforcements, Li Hu was overjoyed.

He didn't know where this reinforcement came from, because Cao Yunye had told him that he only had Shuizhai and these men under his command.

In any case, the bearded commander could only suspend the attack on the water village, fight on both sides, and defend to the death.

There are quite a few of these strange soldiers, and there are also seven or eight hundred, and when they join forces with Cao Yunye's subordinates, they suddenly suppressed their beards so much that they couldn't raise their heads, and they could only support themselves.

However, the bearded commander is not a rice bucket, he has been fighting for days, and he has not forgotten to build a camp on a small island in the water, so although he is now being attacked from both sides, when he retreats into the camp to defend, he gradually stabilizes his position.

In any case, the situation is good after all, and Li Hu feels that everyone should go all out and get rid of their beards. But at this moment, Cao Yunye suddenly ordered the heroes to stop attacking and rest for two days before fighting.

Although Li Hu was born in a crop, he was not a stupid person, he knew some truths, and said to Cao Yunye anxiously at the moment:

"Big boss, the beard has been tired from fighting for a long time, and now he is being attacked from both sides and is in a desperate situation, it is the time of panic, we will be able to take them down in one go, if we wait for them to ease up, it will be difficult to fight!"

Cao Yunye, who was sitting in front of the water village with a long knife, said something that made the second monk Li Huzhang puzzled: "I know we can get rid of this beard, but we can't do it." ”

"Why is that?" Li Hu was puzzled.

"If we storm immediately, we can only destroy this thousand-man team. ”

"Destroy them, and we'll win!"

"But destroying a team of 1,000 is not our goal. ”

Li Hu was stunned, "What do you mean by being a big boss?"

"I just saw that Hu Zi has sent elite cultivators to break out, and this must be to ask for help. ”

Li Hu came back to his senses, "The big boss wants to do something to their reinforcements?"

"Not bad. ”

Li Hu lowered his face: "But we only have more than 1,000 reinforcements, if Hu Zi sends more men and horses, how can we fight?"

"We really can't beat it. ”

"Wouldn't that be waiting for death?"

"Someone can beat it. ”

"The big boss still has a helping hand?!"

Cao Yunye smiled, waved his hand, and motioned for Li Hu to sit down, don't be so impatient, what he said made Li Hu's heart tremble, and he couldn't sit down:

"I can be entrenched in Baiyangdian for many years, so that the government has no problem with me, and the location of the water village is of course very hidden. Do you really think that if you just find a guide, Beard can kill us directly?"

Li Hu opened his mouth wide: "Then why can this guide ......?"

"There is, of course, only one reason. ”

"This guide...... He's a big boss?!"

"Only in this way can the beard reach the water village, and then fall into an ambush circle, and be attacked by us on both sides, surrounding this small continent. ”

"But how can the big boss guarantee that this person can be chosen by the beard?"

"The other party has been waiting in Tangxing County for a long time, as long as Hu Zi finds a guide, he can apply. ”

"How could Beard believe him?"

"There are few people who are familiar with the entire Baiyangdian, and they are basically fishermen, and before he voted for me, he was a fisherman in Tangxing County, and then he was also arranged by me to do eyeliner in Tangxing County, and he never left, and his identity can stand up to checking. ”

"The big boss has been preparing for today's dark stakes for a long time......?

"How is this possible?"

"Yes......"

"Of course I don't have the skills. ”

Li Hu was stunned for a while, and reacted: "Aren't the reinforcements the people in charge?"

"Of course not. ”

"But there are many more such people?!"

"Not much, how can you let this bearded thousand-man team be bait, seeking to attack more beards?"

"So a few days ago, the big boss attacked Tangxing County and burned the county government, deliberately making a big noise and luring the other party to encircle and suppress it...... This is actually a serial scheme?!"

"Not bad. ”

Li Hu sat on the ground with his butt and muttered in distraction:

"What kind of master must be to have such a means to play the bearded army like a monkey; what kind of heroes must be to gather so many heroes to gather in Baiyangdian in a hidden way, and try to make such a big plan?!"

Cao Yunye, who was looking at the bearded camp on Xiaozhou, stood up instead when Li Hu fell to the ground: "It is indeed a rare master, but you are lucky enough to be able to see the real face now." ”

After saying that, he greeted him out,

Li Hu raised his head, and then saw that in front of the dock, in the vast water pool where the wind blows the reeds, a light boat has sailed.

Standing on the boat was a middle-aged man who looked like a scribe, with a goatee, a navy blue robe, a wine gourd hanging from his waist, a wind-swept robe, and a light hairband, as if he was born in an ink painting.

Of course, Li Hu didn't know this person.

But he remembered the man at once.

Because when the other party got off the boat, the features he showed were too conspicuous.

This master turned out to be a cripple.

......

"Sir, Cao is polite. Cao Yunye saluted respectfully.

"Cao Da led his troops to fight bloody battles for two days, and it was hard work. The visitor smiled heartily.

This person is Huang Yuandai!
