Sima Rui looked at everyone after speaking, and no one spoke at the beginning, after all, today's events came too suddenly, and no one was mentally prepared. There was not much time, people began to talk about it, Sima Rui listened quietly, Hu Da said: "I think it's just against his mother, now lead the army to the capital, I and you Uncle Xiaolin and Qingfeng and the three of us will fight the front station, you and Xie An will lead the army to attack, plus there must be a lot of ordinary people along the way, and it is not impossible to take the capital at that time." Xie An, who is the most assertive here, said: "What Senior Hu said is not unreasonable, I don't think things are so simple, let's not talk about whether our little strength can hit the capital, even the main general Sima Fu who has been stationed recently, we must also study and treat it seriously." ”

As soon as his words came out, the originally chaotic venue suddenly fell silent. Sima Rui said: "You must know that Sima Fu has 10,000 people in his hands, which can be said to be enough soldiers. He has two generals under him, the first nursery rhyme hand makes two guns, known as the double gun general, and has the courage to use it inappropriately. The second is Shangguan Yun, who makes a double hammer and is known as the double hammer general. Sima Fu was stationed in Tucheng, which was so high and thick that it was difficult to attack. However, our combined strength is only 4,000 people, and as the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will win all battles. Don't look at Sima Rui's age, but he has a strategy in his heart, as soon as his words came out, everyone present stopped talking. Xie An said: "At the moment, we also have to find a safe place, as far as our town is concerned, there is no dangerous terrain to defend here, and there is no city wall to resist, if Sima Fu sends people to attack us, we can only be captured or escape." ”

After listening to the words of the two people, everyone present felt that the situation was serious, and Hu Da, who was the fiercest shouting just now, couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Xiao Lin said: "Think about it, if Sima Fu is a soldier to attack us. How much time will it take?" Xie An said: "It will take a lot of time, it will only take three days." Xiao Lin said: "Is there a cottage nearby that can be defended according to the danger?" Xie An said: "There is a Tianjiazhai thirty miles away from here, where the terrain is dangerous and easy to defend and difficult to attack, but there is a bandit there, Tian Kui, the big boss. This person usually has no contact with us, and we are well water and do not interfere with river water. Hearing this Xiao Lin say, "Now in order to save our lives, we have to go where first." Sima Rui said: "Will that Tian Kui agree?" Xiao Lin said: "If he doesn't agree, he has to agree, if he really doesn't agree, there is no way, we can only attack him first." Otherwise, we'll have nothing but a dead end. ”

After listening to Xiao Lin, everyone nodded in agreement. This is a very critical period, there is no other choice, this group of bandits themselves is doing a lot of evil, and getting rid of them is also for the local people. Xiao Lin said: "I think so, Brother Hu and I will go to Tianjiazhai first, you guys get ready and listen to our news." Sima Rui listened and said, "You and my father are gone." Brother Xie An and I also made preparations early. Xie An said: "I will send people to summon all the people scattered in various places, especially Liu Yuying and them." Hearing Liu Yuying's three words, Xiao Lin's heart moved, she had been separated for several years, and she didn't know how she was now? But now the situation is urgent, and she has no time to think about her own private affairs. Just when he and Hu Dagang were about to leave, Xie An said: "Senior Hu and Master Xiaolin will move slowly, I will write a letter to Tian Kui, you can bring it over and send it to him, let's do it first and then soldiers." Hu Dayi grinned and said: "What about saluting first and then soldiering? You want to rob other people's territory, ask for people's lives, and use elegant words to fool him, you scholars are really true." Xie An looked at Hu Da and didn't speak, he sat down on his desk, brushed and finished writing for a while, and then handed the envelope to Xiao Lin.

Xiao Lin took the letter, although it was almost dark now, but in a hurry, Xiao Lin and Hu Da hurriedly rode to Tianjiazhai on fast horses. At this time, Tianjiazhai is brightly lit, today is really a double happiness for Tian Kui, one is that today is his fiftieth birthday, tonight in the banquet hall to celebrate, one is his subordinates today down the mountain, snatched a yellow flower girl from the mountain, although this person is more than 20 years old, but looks like a flower like jade, very loved. He has always been a woman who does not refuse to come, and when he sees the good-looking, he first enjoys it and then distributes it to the brothers, in his words, this is called "sharing blessings and difficulties." ”

When the sun just set, the people of the whole village, except for a few sentry, came to congratulate him on his birthday. The whole hall was very lively, everyone pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and the fist was ordered. Especially Wang Fu, the second master, slapped his horse for a while, and smiled at what Tian Kui said. Thinking of the candles in the cave room after the banquet, he said this beauty in his heart. Coincidentally, at this time, someone came to report: "Dazhen Xie An sent someone to ask for a meeting, saying that there is something important to discuss." Tian Kui was very unhappy when he heard it, he and Xie An in the big town, no one interacts with anyone, usually the well water does not interfere with the river water, Tian Kui knows that Xie An has strength in this area, his father has been an official in the army, and has many relatives and friends, he is a smart man, and knows that this Xie An is not easy to mess with, so he often admonishes the brothers who go down the mountain not to provoke people in the big town easily, so for decades, they have been safe and sound. Why did the big town suddenly send someone here today?

After hearing about it, the second boss then said angrily: "Big brother, what is Xie An in the big town, he sent someone to say that there is something important to discuss, what is he important? Tian Kui thought for a while, and he said to the person who came: "In this way, you call him in, but you must come according to the rules." lest the rumors leak and say that we are not righteous. The person who came agreed, and brought Hu Da and Xiaolin over in a short time.

Hu Da and Xiao Lin were blindfolded, and they were led to the hall by two people and one with a stick, and someone removed the blindfolds for the two. When Xiao Lin looked around, he saw that there were six tables of banquets set up in the hall, and there were forty or fifty people gathered together, eating, drinking, and shouting. Seeing the two of them come in, they both put down the wine glasses and chopsticks in their hands, and looked up at Xiao Lin and Hu Da, most of these people smiled. How do these two people get together? One is fat, one is thin, one is ugly and one is handsome, and there is a stark contrast. Tian Kui looked at Xiao Lin and Hu Da and said, "You are from the big town?" Xiao Lin said: "The big boss has always been good, Xiao Lin is polite." After speaking, he bowed. Tian Kui nodded. Then he said, "Dazhen Xie An asked me to bring you a letter. Tiankui said, "Bring the letter." Xiao Lin took out the letter from his pocket and handed it to Tian Kui with both hands.

Tian Kui took it and couldn't help frowning. See the letter that reads: Tianjiazhai is in charge, and Xie An bows to the big town. I somehow offended the prefect Kan Ze. Now there is no way to go, today send my two elder brothers Hu Da and Xiaolin to you to negotiate, can our family go to Tianjiazhai to avoid it first, and when the situation calms down, we will leave. I hope my brother can take it in. At the end, the words "10 million" are indicated. Tian Kui looked at it and frowned, and he said, "How did you offend the prefect? He will punish you for your crimes." The second boss on the side rolled his eyes and said, "Big brother, what are you doing with him? Why just beat these two people out of a mess, or simply slaughter them? What good fruit can you eat if you want to offend the prefect? In the end, it will be good if you don't lose your head." If you can't do it, I'll come with my little brother, and after killing the two of them, then dig a hole wherever you want to bury the two little ones. Today is your birthday, and it's a big day. Besides, the girl who snatched it from the bottom of the mountain is still waiting for you?"
