Let's talk about the situation!

When Situ Jie and the others heard this, they knew that Shen Shifang would not sit idly by and help.

In fact, Shen Shifang didn't think about making a move, but he was afraid that Xiao Yang would be unhappy in his heart, after all, going to Xiyun Kingdom was also to find the whereabouts of Yang Songfeng and his wife.

But then I thought about it, Xiao Yang also had a chivalrous heart in his heart. Along the way, he acted chivalrous and did justice for the sky, and Xiao Yang didn't say anything, so Shen Shi simply did his best for the small mountain area of Nanliu Kingdom.

Lu Gongxue was full of curiosity about Shen Shifang, I don't know what this young man was doing when he inquired about this, wasn't he passing by?

But there was still a question to answer, and he replied: "Xiaoqi Mountain was originally uninhabited. The people here today are all from the Black Dead Mountain more than 20 years ago, and they are of the same clan.

They thought that they would live a good life by avoiding the bandits over there, but they didn't expect to meet horse thieves here, and they were really helpless. ”

Lian Kongling said: "What is the population here, and how many people have the strength to fight?"

Shen Shifang thought to himself that in terms of fighting, the tacit understanding between Lian Kongling and himself really came out of the company of life and death. The latter asked exactly what he wanted to ask.

Lu Gongxue said: "The population is 836 people, of which the old, weak, women and children account for 60 percent, and only 300 people can have the strength to fight, and there is no cultivation in the body, all of them are ordinary people. ”

Shen Shifang recalled the people guarding the city at the head of the city, with poor armor and blunt swords. Although he is powerful, he is no match for those trained horse thieves.

However, over the years, Lu Gongxue has relied on his excellent method of defending the city, making up for the shortcomings, and tiring with the horse thieves, which is not something ordinary people can do.

Shen Shifang asked himself if he couldn't do it like this.

He had one more idea in his heart, that is, to ask Lu Gongxue to go out of the mountain and work together for the defense of the Nanliu Kingdom.

The Mohist method of defending the city once shined in ancient times. As a descendant, Lu Gongxue will naturally not be bad.

Therefore, whether it is chivalrous or recruiting talents for Dongqian, Shen Shifang must defeat these horse thieves, which is also his original intention to step into the rivers and lakes, and he will live up to what he said.

He said: "There is a huge disparity in the strength of the enemy and us, and defending the city, Mr. Lu can be invincible." And fighting in the plains, the three hundred or so people in Xiaoqi Mountain are not enough. ”

Lu Gongxue said suspiciously: "I don't know what your plans are? If the horse thief wants to capture my city, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky." ”

Shen Shifang said with a smile: "You can prevent him for ten or eight years, and you can also be worried for ten or eight years." You can't just huddle up in the city and not get out, can you?"

Lu Gongxue asked, "Let's talk straight! What do you want?"

Shen Shifang beckoned, and even the empty tomb understood, took out the map of the territory of Nanliu Kingdom, and spread it on the ground.

Shen Shifang took the thorn cloud and fixed it on the map, and the location happened to be Xiaoqi Mountain.

"Instead of sitting back and waiting to defend the city, we should look for opportunities to eliminate the scourge once and for all," he said. ”

Lu Gongxue sighed and said: "How easy is this? It's not that we didn't seek help from the Nanliu ** team in the early years, but the horse thief seems to have clairvoyance. As soon as the army arrived, they fled and fled into the kingdom of Xiyun. ”

"Could there be eyeliner here?" Situ Jie said.

She remembered the incident of the Black Dead Mountain, and there were spies in the eighteen villages in various cities and throats, and once there was movement, they would flee.

"I don't think so, here are all people of the same clan, the same bloodline, how can they harm their relatives with horse thieves?" Hua whispered.

Lian Kongling refuted her, shook his head, and said: "People are unpredictable, in the face of interests, nothing is impossible. In the early years, I may have heard or seen many things and people who sold their children in exchange for wealth and glory, which was difficult for people to accept. ”

"How can there be such a vicious person in the world? Situ Jie couldn't help but feel a little emotional, she couldn't see these cruel things as kind.

Lu Gongxue interjected: "These things are indeed common, but here, they don't happen." ”

Lian Kongling asked, "Why?"

"I have known them for eleven years, and these people are simple farmers who live at sunrise and sunset, and they do not covet wealth at all, but only want to spend the rest of their lives in peace. ”

Shen Shifang said: "Since there is no eyeliner here, it is somewhere else, and this one will be put aside for the time being."

I wonder if Mr. Lu has any information about horse thieves, such as the strength and character of the leader. ”

Lu Gongxue didn't have to think about it, he blurted out directly, and said: "The gang leader of the horse thief is called He Qi, Gao Lingchu is a strong person, about forty-five years old. Make four edges and two maces, four feet long, and weigh thirty pounds each. He is good at horse warfare, understands the art of war, and is the grandson of He Chun, the pioneer officer of Jiangshan.

The deputy gang leader is called Zhao Feng, the five major martial artists of Zhongling, and makes the fine iron red tassel spear. In addition, they have seven small leaders, all of whom are small martial artists.

And the people under them either have cultivation or martial arts, and none of them are ordinary. ”

Shen Shifang took a deep breath, closed his eyes and thought quietly.

Those who knew him well knew that he was thinking about countermeasures, so no one bothered.

Shen Shifang said secretly: "Eyeliner, eyeliner, you must find out this eyeliner, otherwise you won't be able to do anything at all." But...... Where will he be? ”

Shen Shifang suddenly opened his eyes and stared straight at a location on the map.

It was a border pass in the direction of Muyue Mansion to Shenliu City of Xiyun Kingdom, and nearly 50,000 elites of the Nanliu Kingdom were stationed in it. And the government soldiers in the nearby small cities did not have much combat effectiveness at all, and only those border soldiers could threaten the horse thieves.

Then, the eyeliner must be at the border.

Shen Shifang asked: "Mr. Lu, you said that you had sought troops from the Nanliu Kingdom, so where are the soldiers and horses?"

Lu Gongxue said: "The first time was the government soldiers of Guangchen City, three hundred miles away from Xiaoti Mountain, but they did not defeat the horse thief. The second time was the river guard of Baixi City, and as soon as they handed over, the horse thieves retreated.

Then there were the border guards at Tansha Pass, trying in vain to eliminate the horse thieves in one fell swoop. But the horse thief avoided it and did not touch it. ”

Shen Shifang laughed.

Sure enough, the spies must be in Tansha Pass, which is the border city leading to Shenliu City in Xiyun Kingdom.

The government soldiers and the river protection army in Baixi City, which is responsible for the security of the river transportation in the upper reaches of the Tuojiang River, have poor combat effectiveness and strong horse thieves, so they can't be defeated. Therefore, the horse thief can retreat calmly and calmly, and there is no need to set up an eyeliner.

The bad horse thieves are also trained by the regular army, and with those government soldiers who catch the thieves and thieves, don't think that you can win.

Shen Shifang said: "Mr. Lu, will the horse thieves appear?"

Lu Gongxue nodded and said, "Ten haves." This is the only place in the neighborhood where there is enough food to make them hungry. In other places, either Xiyun Kingdom does not dare to touch it, or the small village has no oil and water. They are in dire need of food, and they will come.

The last time the loot was successful was last year, and it was my carelessness that caused us to fail once. ”

Shen Shifang said, "What is the reason?"

Lu Gongxue pointed to the map and said, "Here, it is the back of Xiaoqi Mountain. I didn't expect He Qi to spend an extra five days on the journey, risking the risk of encountering the river guards and sneaking up from behind. On the back, I didn't design too many traps. ”

Shen Shifang rubbed his earlobe, thought for a moment and said, "Jie'er, the four treasures of the study." ”

Situ Jie nodded, and took the four treasures of the study from the chain. After that, he sharpened the ink for Shen Shifang and laid the paper.

These things were still ordered by Shen Shifang to be purchased, just in case they were needed.

For a moment, Shen Shifang held a pen on the paper and danced with dragons and phoenixes, arousing everyone's curiosity to gather around to watch its contents.

When the payment was written, the eyes of several people in the living room lit up, and they admired Shen Shifang and looked at them with appreciation.

Shen Shifang handed the written letter to Zhang Apologize and said, "I'm going to trouble you again, help me deliver it to him." You also have a general understanding of the situation, and then you follow the above plan to implement it with him. ”

Zhang apologized and smiled: "The landlord's words are wrong, Wen Ruo and I are the landlords."

At somebody's service. ”

Shen Shifang didn't say anything, just asked him to be more careful along the way, so he asked Lu Gongxue to prepare two good horses, and then Zhang apologized and set off.

Lu Gongxue said: "You have to cooperate with this method, right?"

Shen Shifang said: "Exactly, if you eat a trench and grow a wisdom, you must pay attention to the back mountain, and you can lay down a lot of mechanisms." It's like there's a jungle on the way up the hill in the Little Cry Mountain, and the mechanism in it must have come from you, right?"

Lu Gongxue said with a smile: "Hehe, what's the matter? But it's okay? As for the back mountain, as early as last year, I rearranged it to ensure that the birds can't fly in." ”

This smile is really like someone.

Someone seemed to feel this way, saying, "Could it be that Shifang has suffered a big loss?"

Su Muxin nodded and replied to Lian Kongling: "That's right, if it weren't for the quick reaction of the ten directions, I wouldn't be alive now." ”

Speaking of this, Shen Shifang said in a deep voice: "Mr. Lu, I suggest that you don't set up an ambush on the road recently, otherwise you will hurt the innocent." ”

Lu Gongxue sighed and said: "Alas, it's not what I meant, it's really that the people here are too grassy and soldiers. In the First World War last year, they lost nearly 100 relatives, and they would rather kill the wrong one than let a horse thief pass.

It is the son of the patriarch who has ambushed you today. Last year, his wife was humiliated to death by a horse thief, which caused him to hate horse thieves to the core, and naturally he didn't care about anything else. ”

Shen Shifang fell into a burst of thought, he didn't know how to express it. He knows the pain of losing a loved one.

It may be right for the patriarch's son to be jealous and hateful, but the practice really cannot be promoted.

Shen Shifang said, "I want to meet with the patriarch. ”

Lu Gongxue thought for a while and said, "Yes." ”

Afterwards, Lu Gongxue led the group to the patriarch's house.

On the way, Lu Gongxue introduced the situation here,

The patriarch here is named Liu Liangbo, who was in the sixtieth year, and it was he who saved Lu Gongxue back then, and then took the latter in.

Liu Liangbo's son is called Liu Mao, and he is a man with a little three-point fists.

Soon, they came to Liu Liangbo's house.

Liu Liangbo was shaking a fan on a recliner in his small courtyard to cool off, while chattering to his son who was sharpening knives in the courtyard, saying that he would let him marry another wife in order to take care of his little grandson.

Liu Mao said: "Your old man doesn't have to worry about this, whether you can find it or not, it's not up to me to have the final say." Who looks up to your son?"

Seeing this, Liu Liangbo smiled and said, "You don't come to tell me this and that, I have already asked a matchmaker to find it." Just at the foot of the mountain, in Biantang Village, there is a girl's family who is willing to live with you. ”

Liu Mao muttered in a low voice: "My grandson is ten years old, and he asked me to marry a lady." ”

Liu Liangbo saw his son's appearance and scolded: "What is the stinky boy muttering? Don't think I don't know your thoughts, give me a few more grandchildren, so that I can spend my old age in peace." ”

Liu Mao is unwilling, what do you mean by having a few more grandchildren? Do you think the piglets are going to be refuted, but Lu Gongxue brought someone here.

"I said Lao Liu, at your age, you still scold all day long, be careful of your body!"

When Liu Liangbo saw the visitor, he got up from the recliner neatly and greeted him with a smile: "Tell me Mr. Lu, isn't the full house full of children and grandchildren exactly what those of us who are grandfathers are looking forward to? But I, a bastard boy, want to disobey me, can I not be angry?"

The more Liu Liangbo spoke, the more excited he became, provoking Lu Gongxue to shake the fan for him again and again.

"Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, let's worry less. ”

They were homely in Nala, but Shen Shifang and the others looked at Liu Mao, especially Xiao Yang.

He told Shen Shifang about how he was captured, but it was this Liu Mao who took advantage of the fact that he was thrown by the carriage and directly puffed a puff of smoke, and then fell unconscious.

Now Xiao Yang looked at Liu Mao's gaze, but he wanted to repair the latter's taste.

"What do I do? Haven't I already paid for it?"

"I want to beat you up. ”
