Chapter 142: Suppressing Bandits

And the soldiers and horses mentioned in the mouth of King Qian are showing troops at the foot of Luofu Mountain.

Luofu Mountain stretches for hundreds of kilometers, the mountain is majestic and magnificent, the vegetation is luxuriant, the ancient trees are towering, the climate is more pleasant than the outside, it is a good place to escape the summer.

Just because of the topography, this mountain range became a natural refuge for bandits.

The largest bandit den in Lingnan is hiding somewhere in this mountain range.

And the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under the command of King Qian have been drilling into this mountain range for five or six days, and they have not even seen the shadow of the bandits, let alone the bandits' den.

In the face of the cunning bandits, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were helpless against them, so they could only ask for help from King Qian's mansion.

King Qian received the news and specially sent Mr. Yan to assist.

As soon as Mr. Yan came over, Xiang Rongrang, the commander-in-chief of Lingnan appointed by King Qian, explained to him the situation here.

Mr. Yan listened to his introduction and knew that the bandits in Luofu Mountain were very cunning, and they closed themselves to the siege of Lingnan soldiers and horses.

Let the officers and soldiers who do not know the situation of Luofu Mountain scurry around the mountains like headless flies, but they can't find the way to their cottage.

Tens of thousands of officers and soldiers staying in the mountains is not a long-term solution, one is that they cannot adapt to the environment in the mountains after staying here for a long time, and there are many snakes, rats, insects and ants in the mountains in summer. Another is that tens of thousands of soldiers, horses, grain and grass are a big consumption, staying in the mountains has no progress, and King Qian's Mansion can't afford to consume it.

Mr. Yan understood the general situation, and in the afternoon, he took a person away, pretended to be a businessman, and took his son to a mountain farmhouse to buy mountain goods.

In the evening, he stayed at a hunter's house near the mountain, and the next day he left with the mountain goods he had collected.

After confirming that there was no one on the mountain road in front of and behind, Xiao Song, the escort who came out with Mr. Yan, couldn't help but ask: "Since Mr. came out to inquire about the news, why didn't you ask a word from staying at Orion's house last night until you left today?" ”

And he wanted to open his mouth several times, but Mr. Yan stopped him.

Mr. Yan looked back at the road behind him and shook his head: "You should have been with the prince for at least a few years, no wonder you are still an ordinary guard after so many years, and your observation ability needs to be improved." ”

Komatsu blushed, "Sir, I respect you, but you can't make personal attacks on me, how can I have a problem with my observation ability?" If you don't make it clear today, we're not done! ”

Mr. Yan did not blame him for his rudeness, because as a staff member of the palace, he has always persuaded people with reason.

He sighed, "Yesterday we came all the way and went to three villages, and the amount of mountain goods collected was limited, although the villagers explained that it was because they sold the mountain goods to other traders. But have you ever thought that they wouldn't explain it to people like us who don't know each other? ”

Xiao Song frowned slightly, changed the burden on his shoulders, and asked, "What does this mean?" ”

"It shows that there are no three hundred taels of silver here, which means that their villagers have ghosts in their hearts, so they specially came to explain, it is too redundant." Mr. Yan's usually more serious face will be more serious.

“.” Komatsu still didn't seem to understand, but he knew that there was a problem with these villagers, but he couldn't figure out what the problem was.

Mr. Yan ignored his reaction and continued: "Moreover, our faces are raw faces, so you may not have noticed that as soon as we entered the village, the villagers seemed to be wary of us. ”

One villager was wary of the past, but the villagers of three villages were very vigilant.

"Last night we stayed at Orion's house, Orion talked to me, and he deliberately avoided my temptation, which shows that it is not simple."

Xiao Song listened to his words and suddenly said, "What does Mr. mean, these villagers have collusion with the bandits in the mountains?" ”

Mr. Yan: "It's possible, but I'm more inclined to believe that they are bandits or that they are in league with bandits." ”

Good boy! Xiao Song smacked his tongue, now the villagers are really good at playing, farming and hunting and being bandits.

He seemed to remember something, and asked nervously, "So what do we do next?" I wanted to find out the news, but it turned out that the old farmers in the mountains were not simple. ”

There are hundreds of peaks in Luofu Mountain, they can't find them one by one, right?

Mr. Yan pondered for a moment, cleared his throat and said, "If this path doesn't work, then we'll take another path." ”

Komatsu was curious: "What do you say?" ”

"If we keep going around this mountain, then we will definitely lose this time against bandits, and the best result will be in vain. However, if we change our strategy, we may be able to turn a defeat into a winner. ”

Xiao Song's face was a little anxious when he heard this, the first time he went on an expedition, would it be disadvantageous to go out of the division?

But he's just a pawn, and it's useless to be anxious.

At this time, he had expectations in his heart, what kind of change method did he say to Mr. Yan's change strategy?

Then he spoke with a little more respect: "Sir, how do you think we should change our strategy?" ”

Mr. Yan pursed his lips and lowered his voice, "Give up attacking Luofu Mountain." ”

When Komatsu heard this, he was shocked: "What? Give up attacking Luofu Mountain, wouldn't that be cheaper for the beasts on the mountain? ”

"If, as Mr. said, then we have not wasted all our previous efforts, and all our previous efforts have been in vain?"

When Mr. Yan heard this, he said with a solemn face: "The problem now is that we can't touch the mountain gate of the bandits in Luofu Mountain, and the most taboo thing about the enemy on both sides is that they don't know the details of each other, and they don't know why they are led by the nose." Knowing oneself and knowing the other side is the best policy, young man, you don't pay attention to the enemy. ”

When Komatsu heard this, he couldn't help but be silent, he found that what Mr. said was very reasonable, and he couldn't refute it.

Back at the camp, Xiao Song handed over the mountain goods he had collected to the gang leader, his head was dejected, his comrades asked him what was going on, he sighed and shook his head, and Mr. Zhang didn't tell him a specific strategy, how did he answer?

Can't answer.

And Mr. Yan, who returned to the camp, found Xiang Rongrang, "I didn't gain anything from going out this time, but I also gained a little, that is, I recognized our situation." ”

Xiang Rongrang had expectations in his heart, and when he heard his words, he was a little disappointed, "Even Mr. didn't get anything out of the horse, is it possible that we will return from the mountain in vain this time?" ”

Mr. Yan took a sip of tea before continuing: "There are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys are the kings. When we first arrived, it was normal for us to be played by monkeys. Now that we know our shortcomings, we need to retreat out of the mountains, avoid strong enemies, and look for the enemy's weak points from other aspects. ”

"What are you going to do?" Xiang Rongrang asked.

Mr. Yan said eloquently, "Luofu Mountain stretches for hundreds of miles, but there is more than one bandit den, we can attack and destroy the enemy more than the periphery, and when the periphery is exterminated, it is equivalent to cutting off the ears, eyes and left and right hands of the bandits in Luofu Mountain." Weaken the enemy, and finally we besiege it, and that's when we win. ”

Based on the limited data analysis, Mr. Yan felt that the bandits in Luofu Mountain could not have lived alone. The many bandit dens within a range of several hundred miles of Luofu Mountain must be inextricably linked to them.

Xiang Rongrang was impressed by understanding Mr. Yan's deployment. I thought it was worthy of being a hot plot in front of the prince, cunning, too cunning.

If you don't have real skills, you will never be able to say this, and you can't become a celebrity in front of the prince.

Thinking so, Xiang Rong sat upright and personally poured a cup of tea for Mr. Yan, "Mr. has worked hard all the way, and the next war still needs Mr. guidance, how to do it, Mr. will talk to me, and when I figure it out, I will arrange according to what Mr. said." ”

Xiao Song didn't know what Mr. Yan had specifically said to the chief soldier, he only knew that the next day, the team pulled out the camp and retreated.

Many soldiers in the army who had suffered in the mountains packed up their tents with joy and could finally leave this deadly mountain forest.

It's just surprising that as soon as they retreated to the periphery of Luofu Mountain, they encountered many defeated soldiers.

After asking, I learned that these are the family members of the Lingnan family, some time ago because of the red Li Chengmu to suppress the bandits, they were sent out by the main family to suppress the bandits, they also heard that Luofu Mountain bandits are in trouble, so they came here to make money, but what is unexpected is that the bandits here are real bandits, not ordinary family members want to be destroyed.

No, at the beginning, these families tasted some sweetness, and when they really met the bandits of Luofu Mountain, they suffered defeat and fled in a hurry, but they didn't want to meet the soldiers and horses of King Qian's Mansion here.

These families were relieved to find out that they were safe.

Mr. Yan came to the family to ask questions, and when he learned the specific location of the bandits' den, he said to Xiang Rongrang excitedly: "The opportunity is here, Xiang Zongbing, the bandits' lair can't be found, and there is no problem in attacking the weak points of the bandits on the periphery, and the next battle will be handed over to you." When we finish sweeping away the surrounding bandits, it will be the moment of our decisive battle with the main force of the bandits. ”

Xiang Rongrang listened to Mr. Yan's words, and at this time he was overjoyed, and after a few days of grievances in the mountains, he finally found the object of venting after leaving the mountain.

This time, he vowed to get back the grievances of the past few days.

This group of bandits on the periphery faced hundreds or thousands of family members, and they were not afraid. But in the face of tens of thousands of soldiers in King Qian's Mansion, they didn't need the enemy to attack, and in the face of a strong enemy's attack, they didn't need the enemy to persuade them to surrender, and fled directly.

Conquering a cottage so easily, Xiang Rongrang looked at Mr. Yan incredulously, "Sir, is there a fraud here?" It's too easy to take down this cottage. ”

Mr. Yan smiled: "You didn't do anything about this cottage, and before they had time to attack, they had already fled." ”

Xiang Rongrang nodded: "It's unbelievable that victory came so easily!" It's too much to look down on people, how can they have to resist and then run away, they don't even have the courage to face us, it's too disappointing. ”

Xiao Song covered his mouth and snickered, what did the chief soldier say, oh, it's called being cheap and selling well!

"After the first battle after leaving the mountain, it can be regarded as improving the morale of the soldiers, and then we will revolve around Luofu Mountain, and when the periphery is cleaned up, it will be the time for the decisive battle."

Mr. Yan set the tone as soon as he spoke, and then everyone worked hard in this direction.

——

A few days later.

After King Qian received the news of the front-line bandits, he took this opportunity to find Xia Jing again.

"Princess, what are your best plans for this gang of bandits in Luofu Mountain?"

Xia Jing took the letter and read it quickly, put the letter on the table, and then said: "Sir's strategy is very good, according to his arrangement, step by step, it is only a matter of time before this gang of bandits is exterminated." ”

King Qian listened to her words and asked helplessly: "This king knows that Mr. has a good strategy, but what this king wants to ask you is, do you have a better and faster strategy to suppress bandits?" ”

The sun outside was too strong, Xia Jing leaned lazily on the waterfront chair of the water pavilion, and the whole person felt a little drowsy.

She listened to King Qian's question, cheered up and replied: "In the face of force, all bandits are paper tigers, as long as your fists are hard enough, the bandits in Lingnan are not your opponents." ”

When King Qian heard this, his face darkened, "Isn't what you're talking nonsense, if this king has strong enough force, he will still be here to talk to you, and the front line will already capture Luofu Mountain." ”

Xia Jing yawned and said lazily: "I said Lord Wang, you ask me sincerely, I answer sincerely, why is it nonsense?" Don't you know that I've been so busy with my heels on the back of my head lately, and my wife has taken time out of her busy schedule to answer your questions, do you still have opinions? What about your conscience? Eaten by a dog? ”

The corners of King Qian's mouth twitched, isn't this talking nonsense with his eyes open, perfunctory.

He can't think of a way to do this for the time being, so he will act according to the strategy provided by Mr. Yan for the time being.

After a while, when Xia Jing was about to fall asleep, King Qian asked again: "The princess has been very busy recently, and your Huaxia real estate firm has also become popular in Lingnan." ”

Xia Jing closed her eyes and said faintly, "Knowing that I'm busy, you always bother me, which really delays me making money." ”

Her Huaxia real estate firm's investment in the north of the city has now completed its publicity work.

The next arrangement is to build momentum, and when the momentum is built, it is when she receives the cashier.

Through painting, it depicts the future prosperity of the north of the city, and this propaganda has basically become known to everyone in Fucheng as the commercial street of the north of the city.

Many of them are waiting for the pre-sale to open in the shopping street.

At this point, King Qian also knew the operation model of Xia Jing's commercial street.

She completely relied on the money of the owner of the property to play in the north of the city, and before the house was built, she began to sell, and then built the house after collecting the money.

King Qian said that it was impossible not to envy her way of making money, it was too jealous, why didn't he think of such a good way? To build a new government, you have to pay out of your own pocket.

"When your property is pre-sold, remember to leave a few shops for this king."

Xia Jing was amused by King Qian's arrogance, "It's a trivial matter to leave a few shops, even if you leave a few of the best seats, but I have a request, I heard that you have hung up the old mansion and are ready to sell it." If you really want a shop, you can use the old government office. ”

King Qian looked at Xia Jing unexpectedly: "The princess takes a fancy to the current mansion?" ”

"Yes!" Xia Jing nodded.

King Qian was embarrassed, "However, the government has already sold it to others some time ago, you are late, and there is nothing the king can do." ”

Xia Jing said regretfully: "In this way, since someone has already bought it, forget it." I just thought the location of the government was good, but I didn't expect to be preempted. ”

As she spoke, she glared at King Qian dissatisfiedly, "You are a loser, such a valuable lot is sold to others cheaply, and I don't see you talking to us!" ”

King Qian was not convinced, "This king didn't tell you how much silver I sold, how do you know that I sold it cheaply?" ”

Xia Jing rolled her eyes at him unceremoniously, "Just look at your stupid appearance, don't ask." ”

King Qian: "." Gassy!

Thank you all for your support ~good night~
