The two argued with each other a few more words, and Shi Wansui saw that Yang Tingfeng couldn't move, so he had to give up.

After all, the leader has spoken, what else can he, a subordinate, say?

I saw that the two of them slowly lifted the reins and tiptoed away.

When they looked back, Nicholas Yang and Shi Wansui had disappeared without a trace.

About half an hour later, the two returned to the river and joined the group.

Running continuously, Yang Tingfeng's face did not have the slightest look of wind and dust, just a strength, and asked loudly, "Take the topographic map!" ”

When Xiao Wolf heard this, Huo Ran stood up, took down the map from his horse, and stepped forward quickly.

The soft sheepskin topographic map was unfolded inch by inch on the grass, and Yang Tingfeng pointed his finger at the dense terrain drawn on the sheepskin map, and said with a smile: "Very good, very good!" God help me, and soon, we will have new brothers to join! ”

Xiao Wolf looked at Yang Tingfeng in surprise and asked, "Who is it?" ”

Yang Tingfeng smiled and said: "It's just a group of ringing horses, and they plan to ambush us for some money." Hehe, I was going to destroy them on the spot. However, it seems that they lead the ambush war and seem to have two brushes, we may be able to use it in the future, so we can take it first and then do it. ”

Xiao Wolf suddenly realized: "I see! I don't know what Brother Yang's strategy is to subdue? ”

"The terrain!" Yang Tingfeng smiled and said: "He thinks that his ambush is very clever, and Yang is about to defeat him on the terrain, just like Zhang Yide defeated Zhang Junyi twice, he thinks he can do something, so he will teach him where to eat!" ”

At this time, He Ruobi also squatted down, checked the topographical map, and said in a low voice after a while: "My lord, looking at your mark, it seems that you want to surround them, but now, we are not strong enough, how can we complete the counter-encirclement?" If these thieves scatter and flee - how can we arrest them one by one? ”

Yang Tingfeng smiled slightly, and there was a sharp light in his eyes: "With our existing people, of course it is not enough. No, even if all the members of the battalion in armor came, it would not be enough to surround it - but we could let the light horses and fast horses take the lead in returning to the camp, and let all the soldiers move all the banners in the camp, so as to create the prestige of the army here. ”

"But my lord!" Mu Yunmo said worriedly: "This group of thieves is lying in ambush on the road that we must pass, how can we send light horsemen back to report the news?" ”

"Don't worry, Tuzi is in Brother Xiao's heart!" Yang Tingfeng took out a red pen, took a few breaths, dipped it in a few places on the sheepskin map, circled a few places densely at the bottom, and wrote down the ratio of military strength in each place, the location of the encirclement, and the distribution of the banner and the Daxu. After finishing the drawing, he said to Xiao Wolf: "I remember Brother Xiao once said that there is a shortcut path that is not on the map, which leads to Zisai, right?" ”

Xiao Wolf nodded and said, "Yes, Xiao sent orders back and forth a few days ago, and this is the way to go, although it can take less time; However, the road is narrow, the terrain is extremely dangerous, and the sediment is silted, and the width is only for one person and one horse. ”

Yang Tingfeng put away the sheepskin map, handed it to Xiao Wolf, and said with a smile: "Even so, it seems that this arduous task belongs to Brother Xiao. You go back to the camp and let everyone get ready, travel lightly, set off overnight, complete the deployment, and leave only Chen Liang and thirty soldiers at the lookout, understand? ”

"No!" Xiao Wolf took it with both hands, turned over on his horse, and left.

Shi Wansui still wanted to persuade a few words, but when he saw Yang Tingfeng yawning, he knew that he was warning himself, he needed to say more, he had made up his mind, and he would never change it, so he had to retreat quietly.....

Day 2

By the time the thick voice woke up, it was already three poles of the sun.

At this time, a scout reported in a hurry that everyone had been surrounded by the Zisai border army.

The thick voice looked stunned for a moment, and when he went up, he gave the scout a few big-eared melon seeds and told him to go and explore again.

However, when there are three waves of scouts, the situation is returned, and the situation is all the same.

Moreover, this time it is more mysterious than the previous one, and the last wave of scouts said that the number of people who came was no less than 10,000.

At this moment, his thick voice was really anxious, and he quickly ran to the rear and shouted: "Big brother, big brother!" Something is not good! ”

The hoarse man said unhappily: "Second brother, what are you panicking about, the sky is still on top of Lao Tzu." ”

The thick voice was ashamed: "Yes! The younger brother just got the news that the group of soldiers and bandits were all dispatched, and the number was no less than 10,000. Now their leader has driven into the mountains and is coming straight to this place. ”

When everyone heard this, they were all shocked, and the hoarse man said, "How is it possible? Second, can you ask clearly? ”

He sighed in a loud voice: "Big brother, little brother is definitely not talking nonsense, this group of dogs is coming so fast, it is really lightning fast." ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone was silent for a while, and the hoarse man smiled and said: "It's okay, let the brothers break into pieces, break through on all sides, the terrain in the mountains is complicated, even if 100,000 border troops come, don't think about annihilating us." ”

The thick voice answered, but he felt uneasy in his heart, but he couldn't understand what was wrong.

The army pressed the border, and everyone no longer had the intention of bragging nonsense, so they hurriedly adjusted their outfits and dispersed.

Yang Tingfeng waited for the backs of these thieves to disappear, and then jumped down the mountain road, showed his head, and said to Shi Wansui: "Give the order!" ”

Shi Wansui nodded, clenched his fists and left......

Besides, the thick voice and the hoarse man, with seven or eight people to break through to the west, just arrived at the top of the mountain, but saw the flags around the banners, all of which were the flags of the Zisaibian army, coming and going, shouting and shaking, and seemed to be searching in the mountains.

The hoarse man was secretly surprised: "The second child really didn't say nonsense, at this scale, I'm afraid there are not 10,000, and it will never be less than 8,000!" And when he looked away, he saw the brethren all standing in the forest with gloomy faces.

These thieves, not all of whom were born as soldiers, saw that the border army was powerful, and they were familiar with the terrain and were well deployed, so they looked at each other in front of them, and they also began to be passive and slack off when it came to escaping.

The hoarse man suddenly said: "If I expected it correctly, all our retreats would be blocked." ”

When the rough voice heard this, he was shocked, and said loudly: "Big brother, aren't we dead?" ”

The hoarse man nodded and said, "Damn, I have been fighting eagles all my life, but I didn't expect to be pecked by the eagle today, which is really providential." Today, I died here. With that, he sat down on the ground, his face soothing, and his eyes closed.

Seeing this, the thick voice turned purple, and said loudly: "Big brother, why bother to grow the ambition of others, destroy your own prestige, and watch the younger brother go over and cut off his two heads and come back, and frustrate the majesty of this group of dogs." ”

He said that he would move, and the hoarse man let him go, but when he saw him rise and fall like the wind, he disappeared after three or five strokes.

After a while, everyone only heard a string sound, and then the thick voice came back with a look of shame and a disgraced face.

This time, not only did he not fold the majesty of the border army, but the second leader touched a nose of ash and was shot back like a rabbit.

Seeing this, the bandits were also very discouraged, and the atmosphere was suddenly quiet.

At this time, I suddenly saw a figure galloping from the bottom of the mountain, looking at the body in a thick voice, just as I was dazzled, and when I got closer, I saw a man with a dark face, sword eyebrows and sideburns, a clear face line, bright eyes, and a scar about two inches long on the corner of his right eye.

It is Yang Tingfeng, who is undoubtedly the wind.

In a moment, the two sides were already a hundred steps apart, Yang Tingfeng stopped and said in a loud voice: "Brother opposite, let your leader come over and ask questions!" ”

Hearing this, the hoarse man frowned slightly, and said in a thick voice: "Big brother, I'm afraid that there is a conspiracy in this matter, so it's better not to go." ”

The hoarse man shook his head and said: "Their number is hundreds of times that of us, and they can wipe us out with a snap of their fingers, there is no need to play any conspiracy, it doesn't hurt to go and see them!" ”

The thick voice pondered for a while, and suddenly said: "Big brother, since this person has been sent to the door by himself, you will hold him hostage during the negotiation and force the border army to retreat." ”

The hoarse man's eyes lit up, stroked the beard on his chin, and nodded: "Don't worry, I will definitely act at the opportunity." Second, you restrain the brothers, and without my order, don't make extraneous branches. ”

The two whispered a few more words. The hoarse man took off his saber, walked alone, and walked in the direction where Yang Tingfeng was, when the two were close to ten steps, they each stopped, looked at each other for a moment, Yang Tingfeng untied a king-size sheepskin bag from his waist and threw it to the hoarse man, the hoarse man took it, and he didn't think about it, so he drank it and drank it twice, but it was clear water?

Shouldn't you drink alcohol in this atmosphere?

The hoarse man was stunned for a moment, but Yang Tingfeng laughed, pointed to a big rock, and said, "Come, brother, sit down and talk while drinking!" ”

The two were silent, sat down separately, drank the water in the sheepskin sac, Yang Tingfeng tied the sheepskin pouch into his waist, and said half-jokingly: "Okay, the water is also drunk, and the shock is also suppressed, brother, if you want to take me hostage, now is the perfect time!" ”

The hoarse man shook his head and said, "You tell me what you mean first, and it's not too late for us to make plans." ”

Yang Tingfeng smiled: "Happy! Then Yang can say it directly. Brother, now that you are surrounded by our army, if Yang has the heart to attack, then according to Your Excellency, how long can you hold out? ”

The hoarse man was silent for a moment, and suddenly sighed: "It's early at the snap of your fingers, and it's late for an hour!" ”

Yang Tingfeng was slightly stunned, and said approvingly: "You are right, if we fire thousands of arrows, I am afraid that there will be no more living people in a moment, even if they are captured one by one, and 10,000 people are captured, half an hour is enough." ”

The hoarse man said coldly: "Then Your Excellency, why don't you do it now?" ”

Yang Tingfeng laughed and said: "Let's put it bluntly, Yang's military camp is going to be expanded, as long as the brother says a word, you and your brothers will not only survive, but also make contributions in the future, and it is not a problem to seal your wife and son!" As he spoke, there was a look of anticipation in his eyes.

When the hoarse man heard this, he sneered: "Imperial grain? Lao Tzu has long been tired of eating, you don't know, my ability is probably from the Zisai border army. As the saying goes, 'good horses don't eat back grass', the Zisai border army is sorry for our brothers, a certain self should fight to the death, and my brothers will also die with a certain one, how can there be a reason to live alone! In the end, his voice was deliberately amplified, and he was resolute.

There was only one sentence, but Yang Tingfeng quickly captured the meaning of the hoarse man - surrender is absolutely impossible, you can come to fight.

But the real situation, only Yang Tingfeng himself knows, once he does it, won't he immediately reveal his stuffing?

The two were speechless for a long time, and after a while, Yang Tingfeng got up and said, "Okay, brother, you want to take me hostage, now just do it." ”

"Brother Yang, you treat me with sincerity, and I should pay tribute to Your Excellency with sincerity!" The hoarse man smiled faintly, and also got up and said: "Okay, I've seen and seen, and I've talked about it. After speaking, he didn't look back, turned around and left, waving his hand as he left, and said loudly: "Don't leave it here, there will be no time in the future!" ”

Yang Tingfeng was shocked, and his heart became more and more admired, he took a step forward and said loudly: "Good brother, listen, I will let my subordinates open an opening in the east, you ...... You and your brother should retreat there, Yang swore with his life that he would never send someone to hunt you down! ”

The hoarse man was stunned when he heard this, a gleam flashed in the tiger's eyes, and he suddenly turned around and said loudly: "Thank you!" ”

With that, the two of them returned to their respective positions......
