Ge Li carried the leg of mutton out of the cottage, Xiao Feng followed the people out, and came back an hour later.

Wan Jinlan naturally hadn't fallen asleep yet, and Xia Feng and Li Dazhuang also got dressed and got up from the quilt after hearing Xiao Feng's return.

The crowd gathered in a room that was used as a study.

On the table is a rough map of Qingyuan County, which is still inherited from the original cottage.

Xia Feng's temperament as a scholar is too strong, just wearing a gray robe, he looks like a scholar.

"Boss Song, we can't rob the military rations of the imperial court, and we can't rob them."

There is now a war in the border city, and it is an emergency moment in Liangzhou, and the imperial court has sent military rations and salaries, and in order to take care of the overall situation, it cannot be robbed.

Xiao Feng frowned slightly, what Xia Feng said, how could he not know, But when he was really in Liangzhou, he realized that the scenery of the states he had seen on paper before was only the tip of the iceberg.

Why did the people behind Deputy Lieutenant Gao dare to rob the military salaries and military rations sent by the imperial court, they were just using the horse bandits as a shield, and if the military rations and salaries were robbed, after reporting to the imperial court, the imperial court would not only have to make up for the robbed military rations, but also give another fee for suppressing bandits.

This is a win-win-win thing, and the officers in Liangzhou have done it all.

He once read Liangzhou's report on bandits and sighed that the people of Liangzhou were fierce, but now that he is here, he knows that if there is no connivance of local officers and collusion with bandits, the land of Liangzhou should have been peaceful a long time ago.

Liangzhou has been beaten down by his imperial grandparents, and Liangzhou is set up.

The emperor of Tiangao is far away, it is not easy to govern, and he is often harassed by the barbarians in the north, and Liangzhou is in charge of the military and political power of a state, which is far greater than the authority of other states in the Central Plains.

In a land where the people are fierce, there are soldiers in hand that are more deterrent than the emperor in the Central Plains.

Even if Kyoto allocates the expenses for the suppression of bandits, whether or not these bandits have been wiped out is still up to the Liangzhou officers themselves.

Xiao Feng said: "We don't rob it, and we will pass the news to Python Mountain." ”

Although he had followed Ge Li to make sure he had returned to the village, it was difficult to ensure that Senior Lieutenant had heard some rumors and deliberately set up a trap for them.

Besides, when the imperial court comes to send military salaries and rations, it will at least send more than 1,000 elite soldiers to escort them, and they are full of calculations and there are not yet 200 women and children, so it is extremely difficult to snatch military salaries from elite soldiers.

Xia Feng touched his chin and looked at a few people, "We might as well do it, if the horse bandits in Python Mountain really go to rob the army's salary, should we go to raid their nest?" ”

Xiao Feng glanced at him appreciatively, although he refused to rob the army of salaries and rations, he also had this intention and had not yet said it.

However, I don't know much about the horse bandits in Python Mountain, and I need to understand it before I can formulate a plan of action.

Wang Shu said: "I know that the brother-in-law of the Python Mountain Wu family often goes to which gambling house in the town to gamble for money, and I can inadvertently reveal the news to him." ”

Wang Shu was once a dog-headed military advisor in the bandit village, and he had read a few books, but it was not of much use in the eyes of the two masters, so he used it for the children in the village to read and write, and he didn't touch the work of fighting and killing.

This person is also a clear stream among horse bandits, as for why he ended up in the bandit village, it is because he is obviously different from the appearance of the Han people, and has the blood of the Qiang people.

Wang Shu's mother was Han, and she was pregnant with him after being defiled by the Qiang people, and within two years, his mother died of illness, and he was raised by a poor Xiucai as a son, and then later, the poor Xiucai caught a fish in the winter and fell into the river, and died within a day after being fished.

Wang Shu, who lived alone, saved the horse bandits in the bandit village by chance, and was later simply recommended by the horse bandits to become a horse bandit.

Wan Jinlan made it clear to Wang Shu that among a group of horse bandits, Wang Shu was a little useful, and the rest could be used to use weapons against the enemy, and it was not suitable for this group of people who were tall and simple-minded.

Wang Shu is responsible for revealing the news, Xiao Feng is responsible for taking someone to personally survey the situation in Python Mountain, Li Dazhuang is responsible for continuing to collect the displaced people, Xia Feng is responsible for maintaining the internal stability of the cottage, and Wan Jinlan is responsible for training horse bandits and strong men among the homeless people.

Regarding the matter of the imperial court's military salary, someone should also listen and watch.

There are too few people available, and it's also a headache.

At night, Wan Jinlan's long hair was scattered, lying on his side with his head supported by his hands, and his right hand holding a crossbow.

The two of them got a total of eight machine crossbows and nine firearms, and only one of the firearms was good, and the remaining eight might explode once they were used. The spikes of the crossbow were found in total ninety-six from the eight men.

Xiao Feng scrubbed clean and put on his bedclothes, and Wan Jinlan watched him lift the bedding quilt sewn from animal skin.

Seeing that he looked indifferent, she also pretended to be calm, and she didn't do anything to kick people down.

"You have to find a blacksmith, buy iron, and hit this kind of spike."

These eight machine crossbows, if used well, can be of great use.

In fact, what she wants most is firearms, but there are no professionals.

Xiao Feng tucked the horns for her, "Things are in a hurry, it's all ugly, let's rest." ”

Wan Jinlan put the crossbow under the pillow, glanced at him, saw that he had closed his eyes, and also lay upright, after closing his eyes, he didn't know when he fell asleep.

I didn't have a dream all night, but I felt unusually warm in the bed, like holding a big stove.

The next day, after Xiao Feng took people out, Wan Jinlan selected more than 40 healthy people from the homeless people and horse bandits from the passage of the back mountain to the open space outside.

Most of the mountains in Liangzhou are bare, behind the mountains is a large mountain range, but in the center of the mountain range is surrounded by nearly 100 acres of open space, although the ground is uneven, but it is also good for military training.

After the passage of people, Wan Jinlan found someone to carefully chisel the hole at the end of the passage so that people could easily pass through.

In addition, when the displaced people are brought back and their symptoms are reduced, they can be resettled in this large open space. When the weather gradually warms up, you can build a house, and now you can only simply build some shelters to block the wind.

She has seen her father and eldest brother train soldiers, and she has also been trained by her grandfather, and she still knows how to draw gourds and take pictures.

The first thing to solve is the problem of whether these men are convinced or not.

"Whoever wants to compare with me, come on." Wan Jinlan looked at everyone with an iron chain.

More than 40 people, you look at me, I look at you, all ready to move.

"Madam, you are a woman, and if you hurt you, the boss can't explain it."

Wan Jinlan said: "As long as it doesn't hurt the vital point, it's okay, he won't blame you, if I really can't do it, I will admit defeat." Besides, you are not necessarily my opponents. ”

A strong man slammed the ground with a spear, "Then I'll try it." ”

Everyone dispersed, the spear swept with the wind like Wan Jinlan, the iron chain in Wan Jinlan's hand was flexibly set up, rolled up on the spear, Wan Jinlan borrowed his strength, bent his upper body and the ground level, and quickly approached the opponent.

The man simply dropped the spear and punched her in the abdomen.

Wan Jinlan straightened his waist, took the spear in his hand and swept out after a side flip.

A blood mark was drawn under the side of the man's face, and he should have admitted defeat, but he was unwilling.

When the spear stabbed again, he grabbed the spear and his palms were bleeding.

However, when he was confident that he could take the weapon back, he found that the spear could not be held safely.

As he watched the chains come at his head, he could only shout "admit defeat".

The battle ended quickly, and the big men didn't expect him to lose so quickly.

"Li Mazi, what's the matter with you? I can't even get the weapons back. ”

Li Mazi is a little faceless, his wife's strength is on par with him, and his body is flexible and changeable, if he loses, he also wants others to lose.

"Lao Tzu can't do it, and neither can you!"

A big man with a short dagger and a long beard rushed towards Wan Jinlan.
