After Tie Zhu left, Qin Tian called Yan Qiu, Li Ze, and Liu Hai to the room, and the four of them discussed.

"Qin Tian, are you saying that there is a problem with that Ma Jun?" Li Ze was the first to ask.

"Nonsense! Ma Jun has a problem, but it is not certain whether this problem is beneficial or disadvantageous to us. The fat man Yan Qiu glanced at Li Ze and said.

"Spy!" Liu Hai also expressed his opinion.

"Actually, I thought about this matter seriously, and Ma Jun's identity is actually very certain. Qin Tian glanced at everyone, and then continued to analyze: "There are two main forces in this area around Cai Yi, one is the Cai clan, and the other is the Shanzhai Alliance. Since this Ma Jun is an undercover agent in the Cai family, then he is most likely a member of the Shanzhai Alliance. And if he is a member of the Copycat Alliance, then his purpose is easy to guess. ”

"You mean, the Cold Springs Mining Area?" Li suddenly realized.

"That's right, it must be for the Cold Springs Mining Area. I'm afraid that the undercover agent who revealed the secrets of the Xuaniron Mine to the Copycat Alliance was him. The fat man Yan Qiu looked affirmative, he thought for a while and then said: "In this way, I'm afraid we have to prepare in advance, I'm afraid this is not a good place!"

"You are talking nonsense, what good place can you hold prisoners?" Li Ze and Yan Qiu lifted their shoulders again.

"You know the! I mean, it's not that easy for us to escape this time, and we're all going to be planted here. ”

"Yan Qiu has a point. This time, we think that it may not be so simple to get out. Qin Tian expressed his support for Yan Qiu's view.

"What's not easy about this, I think it's even simpler. As long as the undercover agent of the Ma Army is launched, the garrison in the mining area will definitely be in chaos, and we will rush out while the chaos is in place. Li said disapprovingly.

Yan Qiu looked at him with an idiot expression, and then said disdainfully: "How do you know that the Ma army will launch first, instead of letting the various forces in the mine fight with the Cai Clan's garrison first? If all the big and small forces in the mine break out into a big battle with the Cai Clan, do you think you still have a chance to rush out? I see that as soon as you rush out, you will crash into the opponent's army, is this to send you to death, do you understand?"

"Uh!" Li thought about it seriously and felt that there was indeed such a possibility, and if he was in the position of Ma Jun, he would do the same.

"That's what Ma Jun's plan is, and even if the Shanzhai Alliance occupies this mining area, it will need enough manpower to mine, isn't it?" Qin Tian kindly reminded Li Zedao.

The more Li Ze thought about it, the more his face became more and more pale, and he asked a little uncertainly: "Ma Jun, does he want to pit both ends?"

Yan Qiu said angrily: "You only thought of it now?"

"Then what should we do?" Liu Hai relieved Li Ze, and he asked directly.

Yan Qiu also looked at Qin Tian at this time, the meaning is very clear, now it is up to you at this critical moment.

Qin Tian also knew that it was not the time to excuse himself, he glanced at everyone and said, "We must take the initiative, and we can't be led by the nose by Ma Jun." ”

"How do you take the initiative?" Yan Qiu asked directly.

"First of all, we must have our own team, and then try to preserve our strength when things break out, and when Ma Jun relaxes his vigilance, we will surprise him again. Qin Tian said slowly.

"You mean, Iron Pillar's men?" Yan Qiu quickly understood.

"Yes, this is our only chance. I have already told Tie Zhu that from tomorrow we will train the team together, and we must form a working team in a short time, so that we will have a chance to survive and escape in the next big battle. ”

"Will Tie Zhu agree?" asked Li Ze, a little uncertain.

"We and Tie Zhu have the same purpose, Tie Zhu is a real person, he doesn't have so many fancy intestines, whoever is good to him, he will be good to whom, let's treat him as a brother, I believe he will not treat us as outsiders. Qin Tian said affirmatively.

"Then it's decided, success or failure is here!" Yan Qiu looked at Li Ze and Liu Hai, and then agreed with Qin Tian's plan on behalf of everyone.

The next day, Tie Zhu really recruited nearly 300 men to participate in special training near the headquarters.

The space of the headquarters is very large, but it still can't meet the needs of 300 people to train at the same time, so only two groups of people can be divided to train in two relatively empty mines around it.

Tie Zhu personally trained a group of muscular men, this is a personal guard team specially selected by him, the number is only a hundred, but all of them are strong, which is the type he likes.

The rest of the people were divided into two teams, each team also had nearly 100 people, each led by Qin Tian and Yan Qiu, Li assisted Qin Tian, and Liu Hai assisted Yan Qiu.

The training content of this day is very simple, mainly to see the actual situation of these two teams, and then arrange targeted training, and strive to improve the strength of the team in the shortest possible time.

By watching the training of the team, Qin Tian found that Tiezhu still had a very good set of training teams, he mainly trained the discipline of his subordinates through a set of basic boxing techniques, trained their strength by carrying ores, and trained their confrontation through wrestling. Through such a set of training, the strength of his subordinates has improved to a certain extent, at least they can advance and retreat neatly, obedient and easy to use.

Through this day's training, Qin Tian and the others had a basic understanding of the strength of their subordinates. The advantage of these people is that they have passed the preliminary training, have a certain discipline and obedience, and can be considered half a qualified soldier.

However, they still have some shortcomings, first of all, they have not received professional confrontation training, and their understanding of weapons is very lacking, which makes them very likely unable to master the skills of using weapons in actual combat, thus affecting their combat effectiveness.

Another point is that these people have little experience in actual combat, and the battles they have participated in are at most village-level mutual fights, which makes them lack the experience of group cooperation and teamwork emphasized in large-scale wars.

The first defect was caused by the lack of weapons in the mine, and it was difficult to solve for a while, what Qin Tian and they could do was to replace the broadsword with a shovel handle and let them simulate the use of the broadsword. At the same time, they are taught some basic common sense of weapon use, especially long-range weapons such as bows and crossbows.

In response to the second defect, Qin Tian taught his subordinates some of the simplest and most basic battle formations, and conducted strict training on them, striving to achieve orders and prohibitions, such as phalanxes that are both offensive and defensive, circular formations for fortification, conical formations for attack, serpentine formations for marching, and so on.

These battle formations are the most basic formations, they are relatively simple and easy to learn, and they only need to strengthen their training to master them, as for those more advanced Mandarin Duck Formations, Wuhou Eight Formations and the like, this training did not involve them.

In addition, Qin Tian and the others also taught their subordinates a kind of "Little Three Talent Array" for small group cooperation. This formation is very simple, only three people can form a formation, one of them attack, one cover, one defend, three people form a triangle of small groups with both offense and defense.

This formation is very flexible and effective, as long as the three people in the formation understand the essentials of attack and defense, the offensive and defensive positions can be freely converted, and anyone in the three can attack and defend. When facing one person, it can form a numerical advantage of three against one, and when facing many people, it can also combine with other "small three talent formations" to jointly fight the enemy.

The "Little Three Talent Formation" was simple and easy to learn, so Qin Tian and his subordinates quickly learned all of them. In order to test the effect, Qin Tian also deliberately asked them and the team led by Tie Zhu to have an actual combat confrontation training.

Tiezhu's team is basically a group of people with the best quality in the No. 2 mining area, and in the usual confrontation training with them, the team led by Qin Tian and Yan Qiu has never won once.

However, the result this time was beyond most people's expectations, Qin Tian and Yan Qiu's team finally had the last laugh with the cooperation of the "Little Three Talent Formation", which surprised Tie Zhu.

It turned out that in this confrontation, although Qin Tian and Yan Qiu's team were defeated head-on by the iron pillar team many times, they were able to quickly reorganize, only to see that the three of them formed a tight small group at will, and besieged the lone people of the iron pillar team again and again, just like ants gnawing on elephants, gnawing away the iron pillar team little by little.

Seeing that the effect of the "Little Three Talent Array" was so good, Tie Zhu couldn't help but ask Qin Tian to learn from him, of course Qin Tian would not hide his secrets, he not only taught the "Little Three Talent Formation" to Tie Zhu, but also helped him adjust his training plan and add a lot of content in the battle formation.

Intense training was carried out every day, and in order to prevent Ma Jun from noticing the abnormality of the No. 2 mining area, Qin Tian asked Tiezhu to arrange for some of the manpower to mine normally, while the other manpower took turns to participate in the special training.

Due to the effect of the special training is very significant, the training enthusiasm of the subordinates is very high, and even when they are usually mining, they also consciously form a "small three-talent formation" to cooperate with the practice.

Just when Qin Tian and Tie Zhu were in full swing training, Ma Jun was summoned to his study by Cai Hezhong.

When Ma Jun entered the study, Cai Hezhong was sitting at the desk and looking down at the drawings on the table, Ma Jun immediately stepped forward quickly and said, "Lord Steward, are you looking for a humble position?"

Cai Hezhong glanced up at Ma Jun, nodded and said, "Well, I heard that a dark iron vein was also found in the No. 2 mining area?"

"Yes, my lord! It was discovered by the Iron Pillar man when he was mining ore, the quality of the ore is very good, and he has arranged for him to focus on mining. Ma Jun replied respectfully.

Cai Hezhong didn't reply, he looked at Ma Jun quietly and noncommittally, and saw that cold sweat gradually broke out on Ma Jun's forehead.

As soon as Ma Jun saw that the situation was wrong, he immediately bowed his head and humbly asked Cai Hezhong for instructions: "My lord, is there something wrong with my humble position?

Cai Hezhong saw Ma Jun humbly pleading guilty to himself, his face softened a little, and then he spoke: "At the beginning of the development of the mining area, everything was complicated, and many corresponding facilities and manpower were not ready, and it was a pity for those miners to kill, and it would be a matter of trouble if they were not killed, so I agreed with you to let them manage their own plans." And now that the smelter and instrument factory in the mining area have all been built, everything is in place, and it is time to clean up the hidden dangers!"

"My lord, what do you mean ... Ma Jun was taken aback, and he raised his head sharply and asked Cai Hezhong.

"Eliminate all the forces in the mine, I want to completely control the mining area!" Cai Hezhong said with a firm face.

"All cleared?" Ma Jun reconfirmed.

"All!" Cai Hezhong said as he stared at Ma Jun seriously.

"That... What about the two brothers Tiezhu and Tie Dan? I'm afraid that the master of iron smelting... Ma Jun reminded cautiously.

Hearing Tieye's name, Cai Hezhong couldn't help frowning slightly, he thought about it seriously for a while before he spoke: "The next time you arrange for their father and son to meet, leave their two brothers in the smelter, don't let them go back to the mine again, do you understand?"

"Humble duty understands!" Ma Jun glanced at Cai Hezhong cautiously, and hesitated for a moment before asking, "Then what should Li Mo and Ram Shen do?"

Cai Hezhong glanced at Ma Jun, and then said coldly: "If they are willing to surrender obediently, then spare their lives, if they are unwilling, then send them to hell!"

"If you kill them, will it attract the revenge of that old man Ram Hong, and even lead to the power of the Heavenly Wing Martial Saint?" Ma Jun was still a little apprehensive.

"Hmph, with this large Xuaniron vein, why should our Cai clan be afraid of his retribution from Ram Hong, as for the Heavenly Wing Martial Saint, naturally someone will come to deal with him. You don't have to worry, don't worry. Cai Hezhong said with a sneer.

"Yes, I understand. Since Cai Hezhong said so, Ma Jun naturally didn't dare to have any objections.

"When will the lowly position start to act?" Ma Jun then asked.

Cai Hezhong thought about it seriously, and then asked, "How many days is there to meet Tie Zhu and Tie Ye?"

"Five days!"

"Let's start in five days!"

"Yes, if you don't have anything else to do, you should go back and prepare first?"

"Hmm!

"Yes!

Seeing Ma Jun exit the study with his head down, Cai Hezhong picked up the map on the table again and looked at it, and a smug smile appeared on his face.
