The next day, Li Feng came out of Nangong Yuxiu's room satisfied, and then saw Su Mei with a sad face in the main hall.

"My beloved concubine, why are you worried?"

Su Mei complained and said: "The new man is better than the old man, and I am no longer in the eyes of the prince." ”

"Where is this, the love concubine is fragrant, the country is full of love, the king loves it very much, where is the remnant flowers and willows. In order to prove the king's love for the concubine, the king will take you back to the room and love you for once. ”

Su Mei snorted, Li Feng picked up Su Mei, and was about to go back to the room for a morning battle, when the guard outside the door shouted: "Lord Wang, General Xiang asks to see you." ”

"Ai Concubine, I'll go to deal with official business first, and then I'll love you later."

Li Feng kissed Su Mei the mouth, put her down and walked outside.

"Xiang Ran? You only went to Qingfeng Mountain yesterday, why did you come back so soon? ”

Xiang Ran knelt on the ground and gasped: "Lord Wang, bandits... Brigand. ”

"What? Another bandit siege? ”

"It's not."

Xiang Ran swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva, Li Feng asked him to bring water to moisten his throat, and then he said: "Lord Wang, there is a group of bandits from Peach Blossom Mountain, and there are a lot of them. ”

"Are you sure it's a bandit?"

Xiang Ran nodded again and again, Li Feng walked a few laps on the ground with his hands behind his back, and suddenly smiled: "Okay, it's good to come." ”

"Huh?"

Xiang Ran sighed stupidly, not understanding why the prince said yes.

"You now immediately go to Qingfeng Mountain as fast as you can, and tell Chen Da that they do so. Then you, call 500 people to come with me, and let's go see the bandits in Peach Blossom Mountain. ”

Five hundred defenders were assembled, they were originally ordinary people, because they had participated in the defense of Youzhou, they were incorporated into the Youzhou defender sequence by Li Feng, and they have been training in the city since then.

Although the combat effectiveness of this defender is not as good as that of the soldiers in the military town, it is much stronger than the average bandit

Li Feng handed over the affairs in the city to Liu Ji, and he took Zhang Shoulin and five hundred soldiers and horses to Taohua Mountain to check.

During the half-day trip, Taohua Mountain arrived in front of him, looking at the re-established camp, Li Feng beckoned to Zhang Shoulin: "Do you know who the big boss is?" ”

"I don't know."

Zhang Shoulin clenched his fists and said, "Lord Wang, the last general is willing to find out." ”

"No, they're already down."

The gate of the village was wide open, and the Qingfeng Dao people rode out on horseback, looking at Li Feng from afar halfway up the mountain.

Seeing the Qingfeng Dao people coming out, Li Feng was not surprised at all, but the people who came out behind the Qingfeng Dao people surprised Li Feng, it turned out to be Dong Chao.

"Dong Chao took refuge in Qingfeng Dao? It's not a good fight. ”

Zhang Shoulin said: "Lord Wang, look at the soldiers and horses on the other side, they are not ordinary bandits, they seem to be from the military town. ”

"It can be seen that they are all riding military horses from the military town, and Liang Feiyang is really bold enough to let the soldiers and horses of the military town come out to act as bandits."

Li Feng also rode a military horse, but the gap between military horses and military horses was sometimes greater than the gap between military horses and ordinary horses.

The military horses used in Anxi Military Town are mainly Mongolian horses, and they have been selected and adapted for many generations, so that the military horses cultivated in this way have strong endurance, strong disease resistance, and faster speed than horses in the south.

What's more, the feed of Mongolian horses can be coarse to a certain extent, which makes the feeding cost not so high.

On the other hand, the military horses ridden by Li Feng and others, although they were nominally military horses, were all civilian horses before, and some were even used as mules.

In terms of endurance, it can be compared with Mongolian horses, but the speed is far less than that of the horses in the military town, and there is also an advantage, that is, the feeding cost is lower.

Looking at the horse ridden by Qingfeng Daoren, Li Feng's saliva flowed, since Liang Feiyang played such a hand, then don't blame him for taking this horse away.

At the same time that Li Feng observed the Qingfeng Dao people, the Qingfeng Dao people were also observing Li Feng.

This prince has a very bad reputation outside, but Qingfeng Dao people know that this person is extremely capable, if you believe in his mediocre reputation, it is really mediocre.

Dong Chao said: "He didn't bring many people and horses, so we rushed down and could capture him alive." ”

Qingfeng Dao people were also moved, but he was scared by Li Feng, for fear that he would have some ambush, so he didn't dare to act rashly.

"Even if he has an ambush, if we go down and kill a wave, we will definitely be able to take down his head."

Qingfeng Dao people were moved by Dong Chao's words, and were about to give the order to attack, when they suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure that seemed to be flashing on the other side.

"You go over there and see if there's an ambush."

Dong Chao was very unwilling, but the boss was a Qingfeng Dao person, so he had to comply and let people go to the woods on the side of the mountain to have a look.

The scout who went to check entered the woods and did not come back, Dong Chao was surprised: "Sure enough, there is an ambush." ”

Qingfeng Dao people smiled smugly, and they looked exactly as I expected.

Li Feng at the foot of the mountain saw that the ambush was seen through, so Zhang Shoulin whistled, and Chen Da and others, who were in ambush, came out of the woods with the team and joined Li Feng.

"I originally wanted to yin him, but I didn't expect Qingfeng Dao people to learn to be obedient."

Chen Da didn't reply, and looked at Dong Chao above with straight eyes.

Dong Chao didn't look at Chen Da, and his attention was only on Li Feng.

"When you meet Dong Chao on the battlefield, I allow your subordinates to show mercy."

Chen Da was shocked: "Lord Wang? ”

"There is brotherhood between you, I can understand it, it is already unethical to let you kill each other, if I order you to kill Dong Chao again, I will be uneasy in this life."

Chen Damo was silent, and hugged Li Feng heavily, and his loyalty to Li Feng in his heart increased again, with such a boss, rest assured.

Seeing that Qingfeng Dao people had no intention of coming down, Li Feng beckoned to them: "Don't send it, let's go." ”

Chen Da glanced at Dong Chao deeply and followed Li Feng out of Peach Blossom Mountain.

On the way back to Qingfeng Mountain, Chen Da said: "Lord Wang, how about I arrange some spies to go to Peach Blossom Mountain to find out the truth?" ”

"No need, Peach Blossom Mountain is full of soldiers and horses from the military town, even if the bandits are recruited, they will not be allowed to access the core secrets, and sending them over is also their cannon fodder.

And if we really fight, we won't be able to take advantage of it in the slightest, and a head-on confrontation is not a good way. ”

"So what should we do? Peach Blossom Mountain is very close to Qingfeng Mountain, and with them next to us, we can't sleep steadily. ”

Li Feng smiled: "If you don't confront it head-on, you can take a detour." Liang Feiyang sent all his soldiers and horses out of the town, what is the purpose? ”

Chen Da thought for a moment: "Re-rob the road and collect the money from the passing vendors." ”

"Yes, the core is on the passers-by. At present, the protection fee is one tael of silver per person, two taels of silver for a horse, and ten taels for a cart. That's half of them, then get it out there.

Let all the passing vendors know that the protection fee of Qingfeng Mountain is half of that of Peach Blossom Mountain, and they are also responsible for the protection work and escort them all the way to the pass. ”

Chen Da didn't understand: "Lord Wang, is this any use?" In the past, the flags of the three mountains were used in common with each other, and if you paid the protection fee in one place, you could walk all the way to the pass.

Although we lowered it by half, they did not lower it, and the passing traders had to pay half more. ”

Li Feng smiled slightly: "Yes, that's what you want." ”
