"If we can't hold Nanshan, we may have to retreat to Xishan." Li Dan told him:

"Xishan is our last position. Please send an order to send more than 1,000 people from Sanjialang to help build camps in Nanshan and Xishan.

Tomorrow afternoon, they will rush to Xishan, and by that time the bandits must have paid attention to Nanshan, and even retreated in horror, and they should be safe from Liantang. ”

Sheng Huaien nodded in response: "Okay, I'll arrange it!" ”

Li Dan then turned to Xiao Wanhe: "How to build and how large to build will be decided after on-site investigation." Do you have any other questions? ”

"So, when should we go?" Zhou Qin asked.

Li Dan looked at Sheng Huaien, after all, he was young and had not experienced many ancient things, he felt that he should still listen to the opinions of "experts".

Sheng Jiang was very satisfied with his attitude of "humbly seeking advice" towards himself, and he twisted his beard in the past few days and thought for a moment and said:

"After winning the battle, I wanted everyone to rest for a day, but he didn't let this bandit, so we had to take it.

It is still unitary time, and the teams can seize the time to change their weapons and comfort the wounded.

Let's set off at the mountain gate at two o'clock, arrive at Liantang at the right time, and launch the night attack at the same time! ”

The plan has been decided, Li Dan ordered Zhou Qin (the right camp is now guarding the prisoners) to cooperate with Song Xiaoniu to go to the prisoner camp, and call out that there are many murders on his body, and all the old bandits or greedy and murderous people will be put forward and beheaded.

Sheng Huaien clapped his hands and said: "That's right, there's no reason to let this kind of person escape alive, I'll do the same when I go back!" ”

"What about the rest?" Zhou Qin asked.

"If there are prisoners who have been thieves for a short time, and are later coerced and helpless to be thieves, or who voluntarily come out to be executed to atone for their crimes when they behead sinners, they may be selected into each team to replace the battle losses. The rest will have to endure some hardships and do coolies. ”

Sheng Huaien was talking about the common practice of the official army in treating prisoners, and Li Dan thought that the transformation of prisoners on the battlefield had been going on for a long time, so he had no opinion, and asked them to do it quickly.

Zhou Qin took the responsibility of custody, thinking that she could remove nearly half of the burden now, and happily pulled Song Xiaoniu away.

Seeing everyone smiling and giving each other glances, knowing that they were all worried about picking up troops, Li Dan hurriedly asked everyone to disperse. In the blink of an eye, almost everyone was gone.

Sheng Huaien also got up and said that he was going to rush back to prepare for the camp, Li Dan sent it out, saying that this time thanks to the treasure land of Lingyan Temple, everyone was blessed by the Buddha of the evil spirit, and said that he was willing to exchange mules and horses for the cattle and carts he captured, etc.

muttered all the way, and when he was about to reach the mountain gate, Sheng Huaien couldn't listen to it anymore, and sighed and threw a trick from his waist to Li Dan.

"What's this?" Li Dan felt heavy, and reached out and felt a large piece of strange-shaped things: "Yo, it's gold?" ”

"Originally, it was the Golden Buddha, and let those bastards smash it like this. I guess they wanted to melt into small pieces and divide them, but they were captured by Lao Tzu before they could do so. ”

Sheng Huaien sneered: "I originally wanted to send you, and when I marry a daughter-in-law in the future, I can have a few heads." Seeing that you are so concerned about the old monk's fate, you should donate it to the Buddha! ”

"That's too much! That's enough for me to marry several aunts. Li Dan smiled hesitantly: "But you are such a kind-hearted Buddha will definitely bless and bless, so that you can hide when you encounter a knife, and you will be ......able to survive when it is rare." ”

"Bah, Bah, Bah!" Sheng Huaien took a few sips, and then took out two gold bars and stuffed them into him: "Shut your mouth, what is not good, this big war is coming, curse me, right?" ”

"I thank you for your reward for my brothers!" Li Dan shouted behind him with a smile, Sheng Huaien snorted in his nostrils, got on the horse without looking back, and left with two Ma Ben's own soldiers.

Li Dan walked back with a heavy bag, and when he entered the Heavenly King Palace, he saw Wu Mao still sitting at the table and sipping wine.

"Hey, Brother Maocai is still there?" Li Dan was in a good mood, and childishly took out the unformed "Golden Buddha" and put it in front of Wu Mao:

"What, I came here for the monk Tongzhi. It's so big, it's enough for him to build a big hall, right?

I told Master Sheng that the mules and horses would be exchanged for the five cattle he had captured and left them in the temple, so that the tenants would have much less effort to farm the land! ”

"How much effort does it cost me to make such a good Xinghuaxi? It's a shame that you don't finish it. Even so, it is better for me to drink it myself. ”

Wu Mao said and threw two broad beans into his mouth, and then said, "Didn't you ask me to make a decision before the team started?" So I'm here waiting for you to come back. ”

"Jun is a believer!" Li Dan gave a thumbs up: "And it's a ...... People who are not willing to settle for the status quo. ”

"Not willing to settle for the status quo? Ha, well said! Wu Mao poured the last drop of wine into the bowl, put down the jar and clapped his hands:

"Wu Maocai, Wu Maocai, I thought it was useless, but who knew that I would meet someone like a virtuous brother. I have to be tempted again, and I will go with you to the mortal world again. ”

"Good! Then we'll make up our minds! Li Dan was overjoyed: "When I come back from the mission, let's go back to Yugan together!" ”

"Huh!" Wu Mao shook his head: "First of all, you are a room full of people, who is more familiar with Fengqi Pass than me?"

Secondly, if the virtuous brother is thirsty for talent, what should I do when I go to Yugan?

The road is open, and it is faster to go east directly from here, or go north to Taizhou, or go south to Xiapu, and take the sea route to Guangzhou! ”

Li Dan was stunned, didn't he say that Emperor Xuanzong later sealed the sea again? After careful questioning, he realized that the "sealing sea" in this time and space was different from what he knew in his previous life.

Emperor Xuanzong issued an edict prohibiting ocean trade because of the troubles of the Japanese pirates, the pirates of the South Seas, and the pirates of Rabia.

However, because of the protection of sailors, private fishing and offshore coastal merchant ships were not strictly prohibited, but only increased fishing taxes and customs duties, and these two revenues were used to maintain sailors.

It seems that the Zhao family, at least in terms of moderation, is in the same vein as the former Song official family.

Laifeng Pavilion sounds very tall, but in fact it is just a small two-story building built on the top of the mountain.

The building is made of stones, with a wooden staircase leading to the second floor. In the past, this place was a place where some literati and ink writers liked to climb high and look into the distance, and have a glimpse of the peaks.

There are several grass houses more than ten steps away from it, which are places for visitors to come here to taste wine and hold cultural meetings. Now it's occupied by a couple of bandits, making it dirty.

Even the inscriptions on the walls have metal scratches in some places, and in some places they even fall off, revealing the stucco and bricks inside.

"Fu Gongtou, when can we go down the mountain?" A disheveled guy sleeping on a top-down cabinet asked in a lazy tone.

The rich bowman who was asked was nibbling on a pheasant leg, and he was wearing an upturned archer's coat, so he might have been a servant in some county before.

He stepped on the chair, but his eyes were on the plate. Hearing the question, he replied impatiently:

"Xie Laobiao, are you too confused? You only went up the mountain at noon, and you want to go down? ”

"What's the fun of barren mountains and mountains?" Xie Laobiao stretched out his hand and rubbed the oil mud on his shoulder in his clothes:

"If I want to say that I shouldn't come, it's good to stay in Fengling Town honestly and enjoy the blessings! Why do you have to fight Fengqi Pass? Just a little bit of people, it's not interesting! ”

"You talk so much nonsense! When you become a general, you can go wherever you want! ”

Fu Gongtou suddenly remembered something, blinked, and laughed evilly:

"If you want to leave, get out of here, tonight's little lady, the four of us are enough to serve her, and it's nothing less than you."

At the mention of this Xie Laobiao's eyes lit up, he sat up and asked mysteriously:

"Hey, why did you say the young marshal told him not to touch her until he came back? Did he fall in love with this wild girl himself? ”

"You want to care?" The rich bow head dropped his bones and glanced at him:

"The rules in our army are that no one is allowed to move if the officials don't try it. If you break the rules and want to sink into the pond, don't blame me for not telling you! ”

"You nonsense, when did I say I was going to break the rules?" Xie Laobiao twisted his neck and glared:

"It's you who just said that you want to serve her tonight, you want to do bad things for the young marshal, don't think about pushing it on me!"

Fu Gongtou got up and reached out to grab his clothes, but Xie Laobiao suddenly made a silent movement.

"What's wrong?" Fu Gongtou asked.

"I think I hear footsteps."

"You coward, this barren mountain and wilderness, what ......."

Fu Gongtou was suddenly stunned, and stretched out his hand as if he wanted to take the pair of double plugs leaning on the edge of the table, but finally exhaled and fell to the ground with a "coo" sound, and a flying knife was inserted in his back.

Xie Laobiao was so frightened that he jumped back and stuck to the wall, and he felt a black shadow in front of him, and there was a little coldness on his neck.

"The hero spares his life, I, I don't see anything!" He closed his eyes and almost cried.

"Don't make a noise, how many of you?"

"Reply, good man, five, five."

"What about the others?"

"One above and one below the attic, and one asleep in the next room."

"Which one was the 'young marshal' you just mentioned?"

"Yes, it's our Lou Shuai's third son. He commanded the siege of the fortress in the battalion below.

Today I was sent to wait on the mountain to keep watch, and on the way I caught a little lady chopping wood. The third prince said that he didn't have the kung fu now, and ordered me to wait for the guard, and then he went down the mountain. ”

"What about the little lady?"

"In, in the next room."

After Zhao Jingzi finished asking, he motioned to the group that followed behind: "Tie up, send it to Defense to ask for a confession." ”

Then he looked at the corpse on the ground and said, "There is one person up and down the attic, and another one in the next room." ”

Zhang Cymbal pulled out the knife, rubbed it on the corpse, and said unhurriedly: "The guy is finished." ”

Then he turned around and bowed his head to a chief at the door: "I'll leave the two in the attic to you." Nash Chang clenched his fists and disappeared into the night.

Zhang Bo walked to the side of the ear room and stretched out his hand, but Zhao Jingzi stopped him: "What are you going to do?" ”

"I ...... Just look at what she looks like. Zhang cymbal smiled evilly.

"Skinny King Kong, don't mess around. The man who defended himself could not rub sand in his eyes. ”

Zhang Cymbal hesitated and nodded: "Don't worry, I'm ahead of you with him, it's really just to see." I'm skinny and I'm not a brute! ”

Zhao Jingzi thought about it, held the sword in his arms and took a step back.

The door opened, and the hut, with its straw and old furniture, lit up in an instant. A pale face and large frightened and bright eyes stood out in the haystack.

Zhang was stunned for a moment, seeing the girl panicking and wanting to hide in the grass, and seeing the Tianzu that she had lost her shoes and exposed outside.

He felt his throat move, and his heart fluttered, and his heart beat as if it was about to burst out.

"You—Don't be afraid." He whispered, "I killed the bad guys." Are you—Are you going home? ”

After a while, it seemed that the girl whimpered and nodded, and then he noticed that the people were still gagged.

"Put the knife away."

"What?" Zhang Bo turned his head blankly, he didn't hear what Zhao Jingzi said.

"Put the knife away!" Zhao Jingzi reminded word by word: "If you are like this, people are scared to death, and you are still a fellow bandit!" ”

"Oh!" Only then did Zhang Cymbal notice that he was still carrying the knife in his hand that had killed the bandits, and hurriedly stuffed it back into the scabbard inserted in his boots.

"Report, report to the team, the five thieves have all been wiped out, and we have taken control of Laifeng Pavilion." The chief came to the door and reported.

"Okay, pay attention to the vigilance, and welcome the rear team up the mountain. Arrange for the two to spread out the guard, pay attention to the passage up the mountain, and the place where the slope is gentle and the enemy may touch it.

Before the order was given to both sides of the, the members of the alert squadron were not allowed to use fire sickles, fire velvet, and fire mediums without permission, and they were not allowed to talk to each other.

Others took time to rest and eat dry food in the house. ”

Zhao Jingzi walked out of the house as he spoke, pointing to a place behind the house to send two secret sentinels.

He commanded, and the chief should say "yes", and suddenly he shouted: "Team, team, where are you going?" ”

Zhao Jingzi was stunned, looked back, and saw Zhang Cymbal running fast with a person on his shoulder, and shouted in a low voice without looking back:

"I'm going to find Li Sanlang, I'm going to marry my aunt. You don't care about me, listen to Zhao Xianfu! ”

If you look closely, the long hair on his shoulder is hanging down, isn't it the little lady who was tied up in the house just now!

"Hey man, you can't go like this, Skinny King Kong, you come back to me!" Zhao Jingzi was furious.

He couldn't shout, so he kept his voice down as well. But it was useless, Zhang cymbals ran faster than rabbits, and had disappeared into the night.

He looked at the chief who pretended to be nothing, and then looked at the group members who looked up at the celestial phenomena, so he had to stomp his feet angrily:

"Hey, what's this called?" Then he ordered as an acting team leader: "Hit the signal, two short and one long!" ”

At this time, the follow-up teams came up one after another, and the leading chief came over and asked his colleagues with an inexplicable face:

"Old Five, what's wrong with the team? I saw him swooping past me with something on his shoulder, what happened? ”

Shi Chang, who was called "Old Five", glared at him fiercely and shouted in a low voice: "What can you see clearly in this big night?" Shut up! ”
