The bright moon is high on the green peak, where the bells and drums frighten passers-by.

The general is fortunate to repay the king's kindness, and no one has collected the loyal bones of Gulai.

At present, there are 500 soldiers on the left, right, and three guards, and the number of guards has also expanded to 400. Le'an's city defense was completely handed over to the left and right guards. The Wuwei was stationed in the military camp in the east of the city, responsible for conducting reconnaissance on the outskirts of the city, and at the same time forming a forward defensive front.

In addition, after Lin Feng and Lin Yun came to Le'an, they all received the identity cards of county lieutenants, responsible for recruiting young people to form a new army among the displaced people, and appeasing the displaced people by the way.

As for Wang Jiaxiong, after Wang Jiaxiong arrived, Zhou Jian directly gave him 10,000 yuan as start-up capital, and borrowed five squads of personal guards from Fan Xiwen to assist Wang Jiaxiong in doing things. Wang Jiaxiong took the 10,000 yuan to purchase in various places, and then took five teams of personal guards, three teams of left guards, and three teams of right guards to Fuliu in neighboring counties to sell. In addition to making money, his task was to set up intelligence agencies in Fuliu and secretly store war materials and civilian materials. In these years, the person who has soldiers is a cow, and Wang Jiaxiong went to Fuliu to purchase materials and dared to stop him.

What Fan Xiwen needs most is time, as long as he is given another one or two months, he can make this bandit army that has just joined the Le'an Army form combat effectiveness. At that time, he will use this to march into Taihang Mountain again, and establish the hegemony of Taihang Mountain in one fell swoop.

Consolidate the rear base with peace of mind, accumulate strength, and wait for the opportunity to provoke trouble in neighboring counties, annex territory, and rise to become a new warlord. This is the development outline that Fan Xiwen and others have just formulated this year.

On the 16th of January, Zhu Jun defeated Zhang Liang again, Zhang Liang died in the army, the rest of the troops scattered, and about 100,000 people fled into Taihang Mountain to become a member of many bandits, which made Fan Xiwen, who originally wanted to develop with peace of mind, couldn't help but smile bitterly, and the plan could never catch up with the change. On the one hand, Fan Xiwen ordered Li Lingsu and Li Andong to hold Chu Zhai tightly, and on the other hand, he began to send troops from various guards up the mountain to prepare for the next battle that may occur at any time. A large amount of military supplies began to be transferred to Chuzhai. Of course, Fan Xiwen doesn't want to start a war now, he wants to wait until all his strength is digested before acting, and his first target is Baiyanzhai. If you don't want to go to war, it's not that you won't take action, and preliminary preparation is still essential.

On the 19th, Wang Fan was ordered to lead the integrated Marksman Company to reinforce Chuzhai, and the task of one hundred and eight soldiers of the Marksman Company was to infiltrate the Baiyan Village, and all the things in the Baiyan Village must be in the hands of the Marksman Company. If necessary, a surprise attack can be carried out on Baiyan Village, assassinating the big and small leaders of the cottage, disrupting Li Gang's deployment, and deterring Li Gang. so that they do not dare to move.

In order to cope with the next war, the production department of Chuzhai began to produce weapons in full force, and the newly developed triple crossbow and precision trebuchet were the primary production targets, and the trebuchet had already produced four, and the bow and crossbow had just started, with only ten. These bows and crossbows were all equipped with personal guards, and the control of catapults was trained by drawing soldiers from the Ming guards and armor guards.

A month later

"There are only 1,350 people left in Le'an City, 300 people each from the military guard, the left guard, the right guard, and the personal guard, plus the cavalry platoon of the Yanjia Village military camp and 100 foot soldiers. All the rest of the troops immediately went to Chuzhai to complete the assembly. ”

This is the largest military operation since the establishment of the Le'an Army, and it is also the beginning of Fan Xiwen's bold plan to carry out his Taihang Mountain plan, the troops drawn from Le'an will start marching on the second day arranged by Fan Xiwen, 700 soldiers plus 108 marksman company soldiers who have already moved and 800 soldiers from Chuzhai, the total strength of more than 1,600 people.

With such a large-scale operation, the scouts of Baiyanzhai quickly detected it, and in order to let these news reach Li Gang's hands smoothly and make him panic, Wang Fan even deliberately let a few of them go when he sniped at the scouts of Baiyanzhai. In this way, Baiyanzhai is naturally a chicken, flying and dog, and the anxious Li Gang's palms are sweating, and the forefront of Menghu Village a month and a half ago is in front of him. Now Li Gang is already thinking about how to escape, if Fan Xiwen attacks him again, then his life is over?

"Report, big boss, Le'an outside the village ordered the messenger to see." The little minion interrupted Li Gang's idea of survival, and as soon as he heard the messenger of Le'an Order, Li Gang thought of the smiling young man in Chuzhai, and was frightened, and hurriedly said "Transmission" This time it is Zhang Cheng, the last time he escaped death, he just returned to Chuzhai and sealed the tooth goalkeeper, and also led the captain of the tenth squadron (a squadron of fifty people).

"Zhang Cheng, the general of the Yamen under the command of the Le'an guerrilla general, came to convey the will of the lord by the order of Le'an." Because Fan Xiwen's dispatch of troops this time was extremely spectacular, he clearly told Zhang Cheng to take a tough attitude when he was leaving, and it was best to create a false impression that "those who go along will prosper, and those who go against will die". Shameless scheming.

Fan Xiwen calculated Li Gang step by step, and set Li Gang for Li Gang's psychology everywhere, I have to say that Li Gang's misfortune is this. Don't think that Fan Xiwen has ever been in psychology, Fan Xiwen has never been in contact with psychology, I have to say that Fan Xiwen was born a qualified politician.

"Speak, please." Zhang Cheng's arrogance is normal in Li Gang's eyes, and the situation is stronger than others, so he naturally has to be more energetic! If Zhang Cheng spoke to Li Gang with a pleasant face, Li Gang would definitely think that there was some conspiracy in it. Sometimes, people are so cheap.

"Since the official took charge of Le'an, the people have lived and worked in peace and contentment, and all the people have obeyed and educated. However, Li Gang of Taihang Mountain did not accept Wang Hua, had no court law and discipline, and gathered people to make trouble. It should have been punishable by death, hunting down the three tribes. ”

"Death penalty" and "chasing and killing the three clans" Li Gang's face is like a blank piece of paper, and the family business that he has worked so hard to build is about to disappear. Instead of sitting here and waiting for Fan Xiwen to come and kill him, it is better to kill his messenger now, and then once again force the whole village thief to deal with Fan Xiwen's yellow-haired child with me. Li Gang secretly made up his mind in his heart.

"Li Da Boss, my general is ready to go with the commander to lead all walks of life, at three o'clock in the afternoon, if the villain has not yet gone back, he will send troops to calm your eyes, if the big boss is willing to accompany the villain to the funeral, the big boss can do it casually. But if you don't want to, the big boss will listen to the small one. Zhang Cheng knew that Li Gang's heart had been stirred up at this time, and he had been frightened by the previous words. It turned out that the prefectural commander's plan was indeed successful.

"Envoy, please." When Li Gang saw Zhang Cheng say this, he knew that there was still a turn for the better, and immediately his face was bloody, and Li Gang made a gesture of invitation to Zhang Cheng, after all, it was a matter of whether he could survive or not, and it was nothing to have a better attitude.
