In Liujia Village, in the courtyard of the village chief's house, the village chief and Liu Hu both looked at the killed tax collectors and officials in a daze.

Xing'er next to her was crying there, Qin Ling kept comforting her, and everyone said that it was not a good thing that this poor woman was too beautiful.

Liu Laohan was stunned for a long time and reacted, crying: "Benefactor! You have hurt us, this has killed the tax collector and the official, this is a rebellion! If the government investigates it, our whole village has to be connected to each other! What can I do? ”

Zhuang Shaoyou was a little disgusted in his heart, because he was afraid that the government would investigate it, so he let these garbage ride on his head as a prestige? Just watching Apricot being ruined by them, stupid!

I really want to get rid of this group of people who are used to being slaves, and they can't help the mud!

But thinking so in my heart, I couldn't say this in my mouth, so I calmed down and said: "Don't worry, the village chief has me in the government, and it won't implicate you." ”

The village chief said: "Benefactor, you have to be careful, there are many officers and soldiers in the county, and if they are captured, there will be no way to live." ”

Zhuang Shaoyou felt a little better in his heart, he finally had some conscience, he didn't extinguish his conscience, he glanced at Qin Ling, then at Liu Hu and said:

"Liu Hu, you take care of your injuries at home, and I'll leave you some Jinchuang medicine."

As he spoke, he took out a small medicine bottle and handed it to Liu Hu, and then went out with everyone.

In addition to the gate of the village chief's house, Zhuang Shaoyou saw that some officials on the street rushed to hear the news, and he was very angry and ordered:

"Catch one alive and come back, let some go, and kill the rest!"

Less than half an hour later, the village officials were all cleaned up, and five or six were deliberately let go, and his subordinates came to see Zhuang Shaoyou with two living mouths.

When the two officials saw that Zhuang Shaoyou seemed to be the leader of these people, they immediately knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.

Zhuang Shaoyou looked at these two spineless servants, felt a burst of disgust in his heart, and asked loudly: "I ask you a few questions, if the answers are satisfactory to me, I can not kill you." ”

The two officials hurriedly kowtowed: "O king, just ask, we know everything!" ”

Zhuang Shaoyou listened, what? King? Have you become the king of the mountain? And it's the Journey to the West version, and a few days ago I made a Tang monk, and today I changed it to the king of the mountain?

"How many soldiers and horses are there in Yudi County, the details of weapons and equipment, and what are the characteristics of the commander?"

"Back to the king, there were originally 500 city defense troops in the county, and the weapons were all swords, shields and spears, and they had not been trained for many years.

However, three months later, a group of officers and soldiers, numbering 3,000 people, were all well equipped, and I heard that they came from Xiangping City to exterminate the Yellow Turban Army.

I secretly watched them train, and they looked quite neat, at least much stronger than the city defense army in the county, among them a thousand pikemen, archers, and sword and shield men, which is roughly this number,

The leader was a general in his thirties, I heard others call him General Chang, and he had a hundred soldiers on horseback. ”

After Zhuang Shaoyou heard this, he gasped, and regretted it a little in his heart, he knew that it would be good if he didn't let go back, so that he could delay for a few more days. Thoughtful wow!

I never thought that there would be 3,000 regular troops in a small county, damn, it's really unlucky!

Eighty percent of these people came to exterminate the fake Yellow Turban Army, and now that the fake Yellow Turban Army has been destroyed by themselves, they have done the government a great favor, and the government is going to exterminate its own real Yellow Turban Army when it turns around.

Seeing that Zhuang Shaoyou didn't speak for a long time, the two officials were very worried, and asked boldly:

"King, we have said everything we know, did you let go of the small one?" After speaking, he looked at Zhuang Shaoyou nervously.

Zhuang Shaoyou glanced at the two of them, and suddenly laughed, looking at the two officials with a smile, and saw that the two of them were very hairy.

Zhuang Shaoyou summoned one of his subordinates and whispered a few words, and then the subordinate led someone to bring another official down.

The next day, Zhuang Shaoyou was fully armed, riding a horse and standing in the threshing floor, followed by a group of men, and a solemn aura rose in the threshing floor, which was a coercion that could only be issued by a battle-hardened warrior. The new recruits weren't there.

On the other side of the threshing floor, Liu Laohan gathered all the villagers here, and then walked up to Zhuang Shaoyou and said, "Benefactor, everyone is together, if you have anything to say, just command!" ”

Zhuang Shaoyou rode forward a few steps, stood still, and said loudly: "Folks, a few days ago, pirates came to ransack the village;

Yesterday, the tax collectors from the county government came to collect taxes and bullied us. I know that the villagers are kind and peace-loving people,

We all hope to live a peaceful, stable and happy life, and we are not willing to resist those who ride on our heads and oppress us as a last resort!

But what did those pirates do? Murder, arson, robbery, rape of women, so on behalf of the villagers, I exterminated them!

Yesterday, those tax collectors, in the name of the government, acted as a prestige in the village, beat the village chief and Liu Hu, and arbitrarily doubled the village's taxes.

The most excessive thing is that the dog official dared to insult the apricot girl in public!

Do you think they should be killed? ”

More than 200 soldiers behind him shouted in unison: "Should you kill or not!" "The sonic boom is in the sky.

Zhuang Shaoyou's words made the villagers on the threshing floor feel agitated and indignant, and several people took the lead in shouting: "Kill!" Damn it! ”

Seeing this, Zhuang Shaoyou said: "Okay! They really deserve to be killed, so I'll kill them for the folks! Now there are two servants left, and I will leave them at your disposal!" ”

The villagers on the threshing floor instantly calmed down, although their blood was boiling just now, they really didn't have the courage to kill the officials and officials by themselves, and they fell into hesitation for a while.

At this time, Liu Hu picked up a big stone with a cane, and threw it at the servant fiercely, shouting loudly:

"Folks, we are all peace-loving poor people, but these people don't let us live, so we can't be submissive! Kill them! ”

Seeing Liu Hu's action, those who were among the villagers also took action, picking up stones everywhere and throwing them at the two officials. The two officials were smashed with blue noses and swollen faces, and their heads were bleeding.

The anger of the villagers was completely ignited, especially the people of the villagers' house who had run to make a fortune yesterday, and they all immediately responded and picked up stones and threw them over.

The two poor and wicked servants were overwhelmed by the anger of the villagers.

Zhuang Shaoyou looked at the scene directed by himself in front of him, feeling a little helpless, he was able to understand a little bit of Zhang Jiao's mood, and felt that he was now a leader of social instability, no matter what, what do you like!

At the village chief's house, Zhuang Shaoyou, Qin Ling, the other two centurion Zhang San and Li Si, and the recruit leader Liu Hu were also on crutches, and the village chief Liu Laohan sat next to him silently, not knowing what he was thinking.

Liu Laohan was in a very complicated mood at this time, two sons, the eldest son died in the war, and the second son is now going to be a soldier again, and he was almost killed by the official yesterday, but fortunately General Zhuang saved him.

Zhuang Shaoyou has done so many things for the village, and Liu Laohan is also very grateful, but he is very worried.

At the beginning, when I saw Zhuang Shaoyou and others fighting pirates, I thought they were people from the government, but I didn't expect this group of people to even kill officials, but now it seems that eighty percent of them are anti-thieves.

But his sons are on the thief ship, is it so easy to get down? Now the whole village listens to Zhuang Shaoyou, and his village chief has become an ornament.

Zhuang Shaoyou didn't know what Liu Laohan was thinking, but he also saw his worries, but he didn't explain, but said to everyone present:

"Ladies and gentlemen, the government will definitely not give up, this place is sixty miles away from the county seat, during which there are mostly mountain roads, it is not easy to walk, the official who let go last night is estimated to be able to report to the county seat tonight.

The county officials and soldiers will leave tomorrow morning at the earliest, and they can arrive at us tomorrow night.

At present, there are 3,000 officers and soldiers in the county, 1,000 bows and arrows, spears, swords and shields, and 100 cavalry.

We don't have a lot of men on hand, but this afternoon another group will come over, and by then we will have two hundred cavalry, one hundred and fifty infantry, and eighty new recruits.

This is the current situation, so please share your views. ”

After listening to Zhuang Shaoyou's analysis, the village chief's face was even more gloomy, Liu Hu's face was also a little pale, and Qin Ling and the two centurions were frowning and had nothing to say.

After a long while, Qin Ling said: "General, the enemy is outnumbered, and there is no other way than to bury traps and ambush." ”

Zhuang Shaoyou glanced at everyone, sighed, it seemed that everyone had nothing to do, and then said:

"Since this is the case, then dig a pit and ambush according to what Qin Ling said, and determine the ambush location below.

Ten miles east of Liujia Village is a piece of Anzi Mountain, from south to north has been extended to the coast of the north, although the terrain is not high, but it is also dangerous to defend, Anzi Mountain is five miles east of Anzi River, there is a wooden bridge on the river, we can ambush on the bridge, the critical moment can burn the wooden bridge, along the river to block the official army. What do you think?

Qin Ling and the other three were not familiar with the nearby terrain, they had only heard of it, and they had never done field investigations, so they all looked at Liu Hu, who was most familiar with the terrain.

Liu Hu said: "General, there is a small road in the south of Anzi Mountain that can go straight to the south of Liujia Village. Moreover, the Anzi River is not big, and now it is a dry season, if the officers and troops wade through the river and force a breakthrough, it will be difficult for us to resist. ”

When Zhuang Shaoyou heard this, his brows furrowed, the terrain around here is so complicated? When I was in Jizhou, there were plains everywhere, the terrain was relatively simple, and the tactics were relatively lacking

Now there are more mountains in Liaodong, which gives him the opportunity to win more opportunistic with less, and also complicates tactics.

Everyone had no good way for a while, and they all fell silent.

At this moment, Liu Laohan, the village chief who had been silent beside him, spoke: "Thirty miles to the northeast is a white mud ridge, and the terrain is dangerous, so you can set up an ambush. ”
