Futuo said quietly: "Please wait and see what happens." ”

In Keli Village, in Mei Fachang's office, Tan Shidao sat on a wooden chair on the side and said: "Mei Village Chief, although our two villages used to have no contact, they were also friendly, and now Zhang Shunxiao is crazy to seize the village, my village is gone, and the next target must be you, Village Chief Mei." ”

Mei Fachang didn't know this, but now he couldn't resist Zhang Shunxiao's attack, and he was anxious about this matter.

"It's really my honor to hear that the village chief of Tan came to my village and is ready to join me."

Listening to Mei Fachang's words, Tan Shidao said directly: "I really have nowhere to go now, if Village Chief Mei is willing to take me in, I will definitely join, but what can I do after joining, a few days later, I will still be seized by Zhang Shunxiao The village is meaningless." ”

Mei Fachang looked at Tan Shidao and asked, "In that case, what is the village chief of Tan still doing here?" ”

Tan Shidao was also anxious, seeing that Mei Fachang was tepid, he stood up directly from the chair, walked quickly to Mei Fachang's side, and said: "Mei Village Chief, why don't you understand, I don't come to you, I have nowhere to go, to you, if you resist Zhang Shunxiao, you will definitely be destroyed, rather than this, it is better for us to take another way, maybe there is a way to live." ”

"What way?" Mei Fa asked gently.

"Abandon the village and take the empty village." Tan Shidao said.

Mei Fa Chang looked at Tan Shidao with sharp eyes: "You also received a letter?" ”

As soon as Mei Fachang asked, Tan Shidao immediately understood, Mei Fachang also received the same letter, and immediately said: "Exactly, so I came here on purpose, but I didn't expect that Mei Village Chief also received it, the content of this letter has to be believed, and hard resistance can only destroy the village, rather than this, it is better to preserve strength and take the army to seize the village occupied by Zhang Shunxiao." ”

Mei Fachang looked at the letter on the table again, the same as what Tan Shidao said, but he couldn't make a decision in his heart.

Seeing Mei Fachang's hesitation, Tan Shidao said: "Village Chief Mei, don't hesitate, wait for Zhang Shunxiao to call, it will be difficult to run again." ”

Saying that, Tan Shidao had a regretful expression, "Look at me, now I am disabled, fortunately I ran fast and did not wipe them all out, otherwise it would be difficult to occupy the empty village." ”

Tan Shidao continued: "As long as we launch an attack together and seize the empty village occupied by Zhang Shunxiao, when Zhang Shunxiao returns, we will give up and take it again, so that Zhang Shunxiao's combat power will be slowly depleted, and finally he will not be able to take care of us." ”

Mei Fachang knew that he was not Zhang Shunxiao's opponent, and at the instigation of Tan Shidao, coupled with a mysterious letter, he turned his heart sideways and said: "Okay, I will immediately write to other villages, explain the stakes to them, and go around Zhang Shunxiao together, seize the village, and cut off his back road." ”

Seeing that Mei Fachang agreed, Tan Shidao was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Great, I'll go back and act according to the plan." ”

"Hmm," Mei Fa nodded in agreement.

A few days later.

Zhang Shunxiao led the army into the village of Keli. On the way, everything went smoothly and there were no obstacles.

Walking in the village, Zhang Shunxiao felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong, and asked Xiong Ming on the side, "How does this village feel very comfortable?" ”

Xiong Ming replied: "It's all the same, it's just that they don't have the strength and can't beat us, so they hide in the village office or have already run away." ”

Zhang Shunxiao looked around, "But I always feel weird." ”

Before he knew it, he had arrived at the village office, and Zhang Shunxiao immediately asked people to occupy the village office, search for relevant personnel, and seize money and food.

After a bit of tossing, the investigators came back to report.

"Village chief, no one has been found."

"The newspaper, the village chief, the coin and grain warehouses are empty."

"Report to the village chief, the weapons warehouse is empty."

Empty village, a thought flashed through Zhang Shunxiao's mind, but he didn't think about it anymore, and quickly disappeared.

"Xiong Ming," Zhang Shunxiao shouted, "order a brigade to stay and guard the village, and we will continue to set off and use the fastest speed to take the western part of the Central Continent in one fell swoop." ”

"Yes." Xiong Ming counted the army, and after everything was ready, under Zhang Shunxiao's order, he followed the west.

All the way to the march, Zhang Shunxiao took three or four villages in a row without much effort, and after dividing the troops to guard them, there was only one brigade of troops by his side.

On the way to the march, Xiong Ming felt that the troops around him were getting fewer and fewer, and said, "Village Chief, if this continues, we will not have the strength to occupy the next village." ”

Zhang Shunxiao had long felt that the troops were not enough, but he relied on his high combat power and was not afraid, "It doesn't matter, when we take the villages in front, we will notify the villages to recruit militias, deploy troops, and continue to attack." ”

"It turns out that the village chief has a plan." Xiong Ming put his mind at ease, as long as there is no danger.

After a long shout of "report the ......", a militiaman passed through the crowd from behind and arrived in front of Zhang Shunxiao, "Report to the village chief, Keli village has been attacked, please ask the village chief for support." ”

"What?" Zhang Shunxiao was furious, "Who is so bold as to dare to seize my village, give me back, and destroy them." ”

Under Zhang Shunxiao's order, the army turned around and had only taken a few steps, when another soldier ran over in a hurry and said in a panic: "Village chief, it's not good, several villages we captured have been attacked, several villages have been taken, and the road to Hongfeng Village has been cut off. ”

Xiong Ming was shocked, looked at Zhang Shunxiao, and asked, "Village Chief, what should I do?" ”

Unexpectedly, there were still people who dared to attack their own territory, Zhang Shunxiao was furious: "What are you panicking, call me back." ”

After Zhang Shunxiao finished speaking, he took a brigade and continued to fight along the road from village to village.

After capturing a few villages, Zhang Shunxiao felt tired, and the army had more wounded, and the strength was only about three squadrons.

"Ahead is a village near the mountains." Xiong Ming looked at the strength of less than a brigade, worried about being surrounded and annihilated, and wanted to remind Zhang Shunxiao, but he didn't dare to say more, for fear that Zhang Shunxiao would scold him for being cowardly.

"Who took the mountain village?" Zhang Shunxiao asked.

"It's still the village chief Tan Shidao of the original mountain village." Xiong Ming said.

"Hmph," Zhang Shunxiao snorted coldly, "Just that coward, I'm afraid I'll be scared away when I hear my name, and go to the village office." ”

"Yes." Xiong Ming followed Zhang Shunxiao forward.

In Bati Village, Luo Feng received the news that Qin Pei was gathering troops and preparing to attack him, and immediately summoned Tuoba Xiangchang, Zhang Xinyi and others to discuss.

Through these two years of campaigning, Qin Pei has developed the village of Kaxi into the most powerful village in the vicinity, and the surrounding villages have either been annexed or surrendered outright.

Tuoba Xiangchang thought for a while and said: "Village Chief, now Battalion Commander Zhang and Battalion Commander Feng are outside, our combat strength is scattered, if Qin Pei kills us, we can't resist it, so for now, we must let Battalion Commander Zhang and Battalion Commander Feng withdraw quickly." ”

Hearing that he was going to withdraw, Zhang Xinyi immediately said: "Can you take the resources of those two villages and come back?" ”
