Leping, as the westernmost town under Yuan Shao, was embedded in Zhang Yan's territory like a stone, and such a unique location did not bring it any benefits, only endless bandits.

However, there have been a lot fewer bandits in the past few days, and as for the reason, everyone knows that it is not that these bandits have changed their temperament and want to be good people, but that they are accumulating strength and preparing to do a big job.

"Master Tian, according to the report from the spies, there are many bandits in Montenegro who have moved around the Shangdang, and it is roughly estimated that there are as many as 100,000."

"Well, got it......"

Tian Feng, who was sitting in Leping, stroked his not very dense beard, rubbed his slightly chubby belly, nodded and continued to ask.

"Have all the people from the surrounding villages moved to the city?"

Although fighting a war is a land grab, what really matters is the population on the territory, and if there is no population, it is useless to grab this territory.

"Well, I moved back, although the autumn harvest was approaching at this time, and many of those people resisted, but in the end they moved back."

Not shedding a little blood is definitely not a rebellion, but what the specific situation of resistance is, Tian Feng doesn't want to know and doesn't need to know.

"Well, it's good, put them well, especially careful not to have the plague."

The surrounding people are gathered in the small city of Leping, if there is an outbreak of the plague, there is no need to fight on the other side, and they will be defeated.

"Lord, don't you move those people back?"

"Move back? Why? ”

"The other party has 100,000, and our side is only 5,000 defenders in the city, if we don't move away, the city will be broken, won't these people fall into their hands?"

"Oh? Looks like you're going to lose? ”

If other generals encountered their subordinates making such remarks before the battle, they would definitely be punished for the capital crime of demagogizing the army, but Tian Feng did not get angry, he looked at this subordinate with a smile and asked.

"Do you think that the only defenders of the city are me and these thousands of soldiers?"

"Could it be that there are other helpers in the main business?"

"That's it, since you dare to ask in person, it is estimated that the military spirit below is also impetuous, and it happens that they are also here today, so it is time to show you the hole cards......"

As he spoke, crisp applause rang out, and two figures slowly walked out of the side door of the room.

It was a pair of brothers, although one was thin and the other was strong, but from the point of view of appearance, the two did look a little similar, but what really attracted attention was not their appearance, but the two of them, both of them had a bean seedling-like plant on their heads.

Although the temperament of the two people is different, whether calm or violent, once the bean sprouts on their heads are added, they can only give people a funny feeling.

"This is Ziyuan, the two brothers on Zishang, they are two strange people I met by chance, don't look at their age, but their strength is extraordinary, even if they are injured, they are still not under me."

Tian Feng said with a smile, the two brothers are naturally Sima Zhao.

"Mr. Tian praised it falsely, and it was just a matter of chance that he was with his younger brother, and he had occasional gains, so he didn't dare to compare with Mr. Tian."

Sima Shi arched his hand, but he can also be called a humble and courteous person.

"But even so, please rest assured Mr. Tian, my brother and I have had a holiday with that Zhang Yan, especially the army division under him, if we really fight, even if we are injured, we will definitely go all out!"

Fists and palms struck, and a purple void flame directly ignited on Sima Zhao's back, Sima Shi just glanced at his younger brother silently and didn't say anything.

If it weren't for Gongsun Yuan, according to the history known to the two, this battle would not exist at all, so the two of them neither sought victory nor defeat, what they had to do was to try to reduce the impact of this battle on the future, not to let Zhang Yan hit Yuan Shao hard, nor to let Yuan Shao's strength expand too quickly. Of course, it would be great if we could get rid of Gongsun Yuan, the initiator.

……

The mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings, Zhou Ping thought that the real chaos would not happen until Yu Dabao went to help Zhang Yan fight, but when he waited according to his expectations, the wind had already blown.

"Virtuous teacher, there is news from Meijiazhuang that another group of people came to grab our grain, although our people tried their best to drive it away, but the grain was still ruined a lot."

"I still don't know which one it is, right?"

"I don't know."

The expected answer, Zhou Ping sighed, waved his hand to signal the herald to retreat, he drew a heavy circle with a red pen in Meijiazhuang on the map, and counting what he just drawn, Meijiazhuang has been drawn three circles. The three red circles firmly imprisoned Meijiazhuang, and they also imprisoned Zhou Ping's heart.

There is no need to ask which one it is, it is either Sun Luzhi or Zhu Zhi who will rob him, and there are already more than a dozen red circles on the map on the village, so it is not a shame to find anyone.

"Virtuous teacher, why don't we send someone to their territory to make trouble."

"Does it work?"

Zhou Ping sighed again.

"If we want to rob, we can only rob the villages under their hands, and no matter how much we rob, how much should the people hand over to them or how much they should pay, in the final analysis, it is the people who suffer."

"Then why don't you transfer the manpower of Tongguan and increase the patrol of these villages and towns?"

"I guess it's useless......"

Staring at the map, Zhou Ping shook his head.

"Tongguan will transfer at most 500 people over, and they will be distributed below, and there will be more than seventy or eighty people in each village and town, and now we will send a hundred people from each village and town, and they dare to come over to make trouble, and no matter how many more people there are, they can't improve much."

"That ......"

"What did you do in this situation?"

This originally referred to the fact that before Zhou Ping came, when Liu Scaryan was the king of the mountain alone.

"We ...... Usually it's not their turn to rob, we should have grabbed almost at this time, if they grab it again, everyone will pull people out and fight to the end. ”

Yes, it's a vain question to ask.

The two were silent for a while, and Zhou Ping stared at the dense red circles on the map for a long time, but his heart became more and more irritable.

"Liu Dunton!"

"Yes!"

Liu Dunton, who had been waiting outside the door, immediately walked in and answered loudly.

"You pick someone, go to Tongguan, and call Dong Bai and Ma Dali and a few of them over; Then send someone, no, you go by yourself, go to Pusaka, find Niu Hong, and tell him, we're going to do it! ”

"Yes!"

Liu Dun suddenly retreated, and Liu Scareye turned his head and looked at Zhou Ping with some surprise, according to her impression of Zhou Ping, Zhou Ping has always done things gently.

"A good teacher...... Let's make it bigger? ”

Ordinary battles would definitely not call the people from Tongguan over, nor would they greet Niu Hong.

"I can't bear it, it's big!"
