A glimmer of heaven in the middle of the canyon.

After Chen Ce left, there were only more than 2,000 people left in the entire cottage, but most of them were old and weak women and children.

Even if he is a young man, he is disabled, after all, those who can fight were taken away by Chen Ce yesterday.

There are only two or three hundred people who are really left to guard the cottage.

These two or three hundred people are the last line of defense of the cottage.

What happened in Linze last night has not yet reached the cottage.

The inside and outside of the cottage still seemed very calm, and the spies sent by Yuan Yao found out that there was nothing abnormal about the cottage.

This made Yuan Yao breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, and along the way, he was worried that yesterday's big battle would let go of Chen Ce's subordinates, and if these subordinates ran back to the cottage overnight.

led to a mutiny in the cottage, and the bandits swept away the money and food left by Chen Ce, so he would lose a lot.

Now it seems that these bandits have not fled back to the cottage.

Since there are no other anomalies, things are simple.

Tai Shici took the initiative to invite Ying, to lead the men and horses into the cottage, and to catch these bandits off guard, but this proposal was vetoed by Yuan Yao.

This line of heavenly canyons, because of the terrain, it is impossible for the number of cottagers who want to rush up the mountain at one time to be too many.

Even though there are only a small number of bandits left in this cottage, they must be aware that someone is attacking, and relying on the defensive equipment in the cottage, they can stand up for a long time.

Even if Yuan Yao and Tai Shici led their men and horses to defeat this cottage in the end, they would definitely suffer heavy losses.

The two thousand men and horses brought with him, not to mention the loss of more than half, will also lose hundreds of people, so that in the end, it is better to say that he finally got the money and food in the cottage.

In case, if they didn't get the money and food inside, they were burned by those thieves, then Yuan Yao and they would lose a lot.

That's really a loss of soldiers, and a loss of wife and soldiers.

So, we have to think of something else, a more secure way.

After all, Yuan Yao has always liked to use the least cost to achieve the best results.

Seeing that Yuan Yao had rejected his proposal, Tai Shi Ci immediately asked Yuan Yao for his idea.

"Brother Yuan, then what idea do you have to build this cottage?"

Yuan Yao smiled faintly, and soon said to Tai Shici.

"Ziyi, have you forgotten what I prepared at the beginning?"

Yuan Yao said, beckoning, Ji Ling understood what Yuan Yao meant, and quickly let his subordinates bring a few people.

These people are none other than the thieves in this cottage.

Yuan Yao had already captured more than 800 prisoners last night.

Among these more than 800 people, he had already asked Ji Ling to interrogate him overnight and arrested several leader-level figures, these people were those who were willing to surrender and cooperate with Yuan Yao to act in a play.

The more than 800 captives did not need to be brought with them, as long as they brought a dozen of them, and then let some of them serve as the doorkeepers and lead them directly up the mountain.

As long as Yuan Yao and Tai Shici's people remove the official clothes on their bodies, the people who stay in the cottage will definitely not dare to stop them from going up the mountain.

When the time comes, it will be easy to enter the cottage, and then take action to deal with these bandits inside.

Yuan Yao had already thought of this plan last night, otherwise he would not have let his subordinates have more to live.

"Ziyi, these people are the ones who were caught last night, let them send us up the mountain and enter the mountain bandits' stockade as internal responses, and if we do it again, we will be much more sure."

After Tai Shici saw these mountain bandits, his eyes lit up, and he immediately clapped his hands at Yuan Yao and praised them.

"Brother Yuan, you are really smart, it's really wonderful, with the help of these people, it will be easy for us to go up the mountain."

"Without further ado, let's act now, let our men take off their military uniforms outside, dress themselves up like mountain bandits, and then we'll go up the mountain."

Yuan Yao issued an order to the two thousand soldiers behind him, and these men and horses immediately acted according to Yuan Yao's order.

After a while, he had already taken off his clothes.

Ji Ling personally took the bandit leaders and walked in front, and Yuan Yao, Tai Shici and others behind him, as well as some familiar faces, were hidden behind, and only some people who looked like bandits walked in front.

Anyway, the road is not wide, and a small number of people can pass at one time, and the few bandits they brought are standing in front, and they are also familiar with the secret whistles inside and outside the cottage.

As soon as he got close to the cottage, he encountered a secret whistle in the cottage, and there was a burst of bird chirping in the forest.

The mountain bandits beside Ji Ling immediately learned this sound and responded with a few crisp bird calls with their beaks.

Not long after, several people who looked like mountain bandits came out of the forest.

As soon as he saw that it was the leader of the bandits, he immediately became respectful and asked a few words, but he didn't dare to slack off.

Although they wondered why the big boss Chen Ce and the second master One-Eye didn't come back, the status of these bandit leaders in this cottage was not low.

Now that Chen Ce and One-Eye are gone, their orders are the most important.

These mountain bandits were immediately released, allowing Ji Ling to return with the men and horses into the first line of heaven.

There were basically no obstacles along the way, and the group soon entered the cottage.

When they were on the road, Yuan Yao had already figured out the general layout of this cottage through these surrendered mountain bandits, so as soon as they entered this cottage, they already understood what to do.

Ji Ling took people directly and went straight to the location of the warehouse.

And Tai Shici led people, went straight to the entrance and exit of the cottage, pulled out his sword, put it on the necks of those bandits, and took over the entrance and exit of the cottage.

Two thousand people came up from the bottom of the mountain, and before they could fully come up, the mountain had already been taken over by Yuan Yao's people.

The bandits who stayed on the mountain were also stunned by this sudden change for a short time.

Before he even had time to resist, he was already frightened by these people who entered the cottage.

Yuan Yao's men and horses didn't do much, they completely subdued the cottage in this cottage, except for a few ignorant thieves who wanted to resist and were directly killed on the spot, the rest of the people saw that Yuan Yao's side was overwhelming, and they didn't dare to take any action for a while.

In this way, taking advantage of the surrender of several bandits, Yuan Yao entered this cottage without much effort.

After circling around this mountain and seeing the scenery around him, Yuan Yao couldn't help but praise.

No wonder this Chen Ce is willing to be a bandit on this mountain for a few years, this place is indeed a blessed place.

Not only is the view good, but there is also a large enough site that the area on the top of the hill alone is spacious enough to accommodate thousands of people.
