"We don't know how many thieves there are, if we don't even know our own."

"Why, you can go back to Xianyang."

After Fu Su finished joking, he immediately returned to his serious expression.

solemnly commanded:

"Han Min, go find a map of the whole territory of Chencang County."

"Gan Ji, go and count how many people can be summoned in the county government."

"The movement should be small, the mountain bandits have been entrenched for many years, and they can still be comfortable with the encirclement and suppression of all parties, and there must be their eyeliner in the city."

"The subordinates understand, don't worry."

The two had just left, and the county lieutenant immediately arrived.

"The lower official has summoned all the soldiers and servants who can be used according to the instructions of the prince."

"Hmm." Fusu didn't say much.

The county lieutenant still did not give up, and added:

"If you really want to suppress the bandits, just let the soldiers go, and the son must not risk his life."

"It's late at night, the county lieutenant should go back and rest first."

"I'm free to do the rest."

Seeing that Fusu had issued an order to expel the guests, the county lieutenant had no choice but to retreat.

Walking to the corridor, the old county commander Bai Fu and the county Cheng who were waiting here hurriedly greeted him.

Asked:

"How?"

The county lieutenant shook his head with a gloomy face.

The tone is not divergent:

"He's hard-hearted."

"This ......"

The old county magistrate, who only wanted to resign safely, red-eyed, patted his palm on the back of his hand, and said:

"If he really lets him take down the mountain thief, how can I explain to that person."

The county lieutenant stared at the deep night in the distance, and in that night there was a Nanshu Col fifty miles outside the city.

Surrounded by mountains on three sides, the terrain is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

He sneered, "If that mountain thief is really so easy to get rid of, you and I don't have to submit to this for many years." ”

"The young man is frivolous, and it is not yet known what the outcome will be."

"As long as he can't get rid of the bandits, he won't discover that person's secret."

"You and I will not be held accountable for this."

After a short sigh in a hurry, Bai Fu suddenly trembled his fingers and attacked the county lieutenant.

"It's all your fault, it's good to be a good man."

"Without soldiers, he can still lead those guards to suppress the bandits."

"Your Excellency." The county lieutenant shouted in a raised voice.

"That Fusu Gongzi said that to that point, if we shirk it again, it will look suspicious."

"You are old, just rest assured."

"The noble son of the capital, how can you know the ferocity of the local mountain bandits."

The three of them left together.

They did not notice the attendants behind the pillars shrouded in shadows.

Catch the conversations of several people.

"The man?"

Fusu plucked the wick and raised his head to the attendant who came in to report.

"Yes, that's what the adults said."

"Oh-"

"It seems that in addition to the fear of being attacked by thieves."

"There are several good adults in Chen Cang, and there are secrets that no one knows."

The wick was pulled out a little bit, and the room suddenly brightened up a lot.

Fu Su turned his face slightly sideways and said coldly:

"Continue to investigate, if there is suspicious news, report it as soon as possible."

Fusu moved the oil lamp closer, looking at the map on the table.

The map of Daqin is really not detailed enough, let alone this small Chencang County.

The map in Fusu's hand only roughly marked the county seat of Chencang and several surrounding mountains.

Fusu pointed his finger at Chifeng Ridge, which was the place where the mountain thieves were entrenched.

Chifeng Ridge is surrounded by cliffs on three sides, and there is a place between the left and right sides that is extremely narrow.

A col is formed, and that is the South Tree Col.

To climb Chifeng Ridge, you can only enter from the South Tree Pass, and there is a mountain road to go up.

I want to go to Yongxian next door, and the official road is not far from Chifengling.

Fusu stared at the extremely rough drawing, especially the steep Chiffon Ridge of the mountain slope and cliff.

Fingers slid slowly over it for a while, then pointed straight to a small hill.

It happened to be on top of the middle.

Based on the location, you can see the situation of the cliffs on three sides at a glance.

Han Min happened to come in, and Fusu called him over and pointed to that place:

"If I were a mountain thief, I would definitely have set up my main stockade here."

Han Min looked at it and suddenly understood.

Fusu then said:

"Although there is a main camp, the mountain thieves rely on many terrain advantages, they must be cunning rabbits."

"Even if we make it here, we won't be able to catch them all."

"The fish that slipped through the net escaped the fastest, and it is unknown where they will rob the house at that time."

Han Min bowed slightly.

"So Childe is now thinking about how to gather them together and catch them all."

"That's right."

"There's one more question." Fusu frowned.

"How do we get up?"

"That's the most important thing."

The South Tree Pass is narrow, the Chiffon Ridge is steep, and the condition of the hill is not yet known.

Add to that the undulating ridges and valleys of the cliffs.

It's easy for the mountain thieves to think about the Tibetans.

But how to enter smoothly and annihilate it in one fell swoop, it is difficult.

The two studied for a while, but to no avail.

Fusu let out a long sigh, put away the map, and said:

"That's it, tomorrow you go to Chifengling with me."

"Childe, no."

"If the son is worried, he will be."

Han Min hurriedly dissuaded.

What kind of place Chifeng Ridge is, everyone knows it.

Gan Ji was robbed after a South Tree Pass.

Fusu's temperament is the fat in the eyes of the mountain thieves.

Han Min insisted again and again, but Fusu was helpless, so he could only say:

"Focus on exploring the topography of the mountain."

"Then if there is any difference between the cliffs on three sides, mark them together."

"Don't leave yet, wait for Gan Ji to report the number of soldiers."

Han Min just raised his feet and turned to wait.

Gan Ji came with a heavy dust.

"Hui Gongzi, in the entire Chencang County, a total of 638 soldiers from the county government have been gathered."

"Three hundred and sixty-nine servants."

"The total is just over a thousand."

A thousand people, Chifengling, and Fusu paced around the table.

It was less than he had imagined.

What's more, it is also mixed with more than 300 servants.

Most of these servants were forced to serve, or were convicted of being used as servants.

First, he has not undergone orthodox training, and second, he has no actual combat experience.

Even those government soldiers, picking out five may not be worth a border county soldier.

On the contrary, the mountain thieves were again for several years.

I have experienced countless encirclements and suppressions, large and small, and I have already practiced a fierce and cunning kung fu.

The government soldiers did not have the slightest advantage against them.

Not to mention that Chiffon Ridge has such a large territory.

How many waves of bandits there were, and how many of them there were, is unknown.

The two also knew that this matter was not easy.

Gan Ji pondered for a moment and proposed:

"Childe, Yongxian is not far from Chencang, if you really want to attack, why don't you borrow troops from Yongxian again?"

"I don't have to, I'm acting ultra."

"It's okay if the mountain thieves are in the territory of Chencang, if they go to Linxian to borrow troops with great fanfare."

Fusu sneered:

"When it reaches the mouths of the old foxes in the DPRK, it becomes an unauthorized support of the army, with ill intentions."

"Before the Yunyang incident, they took the opportunity to impeach."

"Although my father suppressed it and didn't mention it, he may not have something else in his heart."

There are jackals in front, tigers and leopards in the back, and there is a shrewd and suspicious father in the palace.

His situation has never been relaxed.
