The sky is slightly bright, the owner's house.

Li Wuchang and his subordinates had already rested for a night, except for a few brothers who took turns guarding the bandits, they were all in good spirits, and after breakfast, they were ready to go.

Fat Bear and Cao Hao have already counted the situation of Zhuang Min.

There were as many as 24 places where the fire broke out last night, fortunately, the farmers had already prepared, ran away directly, found a place to hide, and escaped a life, Fat Bear and Cao Haobing divided into two roads, respectively to appease the farmers in Dongshan and Xishan, and extinguished ten people, and the rest of the places because they were all thatched houses, the fire was huge, for the sake of safety, they did not continue to extinguish the fire.

Fat Bear and Cao Hao told them that they could borrow to live in other households' homes these days, and that the losses would be made up later, and the owners would build new houses for them, trying to appease the villagers.

For the farmer, it was true that there were heavy losses, but fortunately there were no casualties.

Zhao Xun looked at the energetic veterans, and said: "Everyone can have such courage, the owner of the village must be very pleased, we achieved great results last night, the Fire Wolf Gang will definitely not be convinced, we must preemptively prevent the Fire Wolf Gang from uniting with other miscellaneous forces to fight against our Zhuangzi." ”

After a pause, he continued: "Desheng is still the same, bring some people to guard the bandits, Fat Bear and Haozi and Hu Benlu are all left, remind the villagers to pay attention to safety measures, farm work can be put down temporarily, and the good hands will be organized, just in case, just in the next day or two, we will give you an explanation, as for the others, follow us into the dense forest, or that sentence, follow the order, don't come hard, pay attention to your own life." ”

Hu Benlu raised his hand and said: "I have already told the people in Zhuangzi yesterday, and asked everyone to tell each other, asking everyone to pay attention to safety these days, so let Brother Xiong and Brother Haozi stay in Zhuangzi and take more than 20 old men to inspect." ”

Then he pointed to the two bandits who were escorted out to lead the way, and continued: "I'll follow, I'm a little familiar with this area of Nanshan, and I can prevent these two dogs from being yin." ”

Li Wuchang nodded, waved his hand, and signaled to go on the road, he was still dressed in black, and the black ash on his face was repainted this morning.

Zhai Changping and Hu Benlu escorted the two bandits who led the way, signaling them to show the way.

How did the bandits kill them last night, they went back the same way.

These two bandits should have been in the Fire Wolf Gang for some days, they know a lot, and they are quite chicken thieves, but they are all scared, and they don't dare to play any tricks, and they show the way with their hearts.

There were about seventy people in the group.

Li Wuchang, Zhao Xun, Jiang Minglun, and Zhai Changping are the most powerful, and most of the others have been on the battlefield and killed decisively, but the martial arts are not very high, and most of them are three or four grades, and it is still difficult to say that they encountered a large number of bandits in the jungle.

It is also said that if there is a five-grade strength, it will not be sent to the elderly.

There are also two young men with good martial arts and a five-rank beginner, both of whom are the children of these veterans' comrades-in-arms who died on the battlefield, and they grew up eating hundreds of meals.

One is called Nie Quan, the other is called Xie Changhao, they are both talented, they have practiced martial arts since they were young, and there are many veterans who give careful guidance.

They originally wanted to go to the martial arts conference, but the veterans didn't let them go, saying that they were afraid of being sent to Jizhou by the imperial court, and they had no support and no background, so if they died, how could they be worthy of their old friends who died.

There are still many such children in Zhuangzi, and most of them practice martial arts, but only Nie Quan and Xie Changhao are a little higher in martial arts, and they have entered the five grades, and they are considered celebrities in Zhuangzi.

Under the leadership of the two bandits, and then through the careful analysis of Hu Benlu, after a long time, everyone finally entered the depths of the Nanshan dense forest, the light was dim, and it was much cooler inside.

After entering the dense forest, everyone became extra cautious.

Jiang Minglun was in front, followed by Zhai Changping and Hu Benlu and the two bandits who pointed the way, Zhao Xun took Nie Quan and Xie Changhao in the center, and Li Wuchang was in the rear.

After passing through the dense forests on both sides, they finally came to the periphery of the Fire Wolf Gang.

"A little further past is our stockade. One of the bandits said.

Jiang Minglun nodded, sent out two palm winds to knock the two bandits unconscious, and then raised his right hand and signaled the team to stop.

Zhao Xun looked around, came to Li Wuchang's place, and said: "There are groups of trees and thatch here, I suggest that everyone find a place to hide first, eat some dry food and water, and then make plans." ”

Li Wuchang nodded.

Of course, if you want to investigate, and then think of a trick or something, you can't go in directly, although the Fire Wolf Gang was killed by nearly two hundred people, but there are still more than a hundred in their village, and there are many masters, rushing in rashly will only cause heavy damage.

Everyone found a secluded place to rest for a while.

After a little discussion, it was decided that Jiang Minglun would take Zhai Changping to guard the team, while Li Wuchang and Zhao Xun, the two more flexible sneaked in to check the situation, and by the way, see if they could do something.

The Firewolf Gang's stockade was relatively large, very rough, without fences, with occasional gangs patrolling around, and one or two gangs standing guard everywhere.

"You can't see anything this way, you have to touch it to find out. Zhao Xun said.

Both of them jumped onto a big tree and secretly looked at the stockade of the Fire Wolf Gang, but unfortunately they couldn't see what the situation was inside.

There are many wooden houses, because the terrain here is quite flat, from a distance it looks like the whole village is quite good, the buildings are scattered, surrounded by shrubs and thatch, easy to hide.

The two found a dead end, drilled in, and probed around with their flexible body and sharp eyes, and the two did not dare to separate, advancing and retreating together.

There was a lot of noise in the village, not loud laughter, and there was no panic at all.

The two secretly followed behind a group of bandits carrying things, trying to see what was going on.

It turned out that the gang had gone into the kitchen.

The sound of a fire, the sound of boiling water, and the sound of chopping vegetables and meat are intertwined.

Li Wuchang felt quite strange, the Fire Wolf Gang suffered such a heavy setback last night, and they were still in the mood to make a big lunch here?

How does it look like it's going to be a big meal!

Zhao Xun said in a low voice: "Isn't it that they want to invite those miscellaneous forces to deal with our Zhuangzi together?"

Li Wuchang raised his eyebrows, thinking that this was very likely, and then nodded at Zhao Xun, signaling to go up to the roof and go to the side of the big open-air venue to see what the situation was.

Zhao Xun understood, showed his skills, followed Li Wuchang to jump into a house, and then followed Li Wuchang's example, lying down and crawling forward, the movements were very light, if there was no top master, the two of them would never reveal their whereabouts.

After a while, the two of them sighed slightly, looked at the people in the venue, pricked up their ears, and listened carefully.

Good guys, a whole bunch of people are drinking.

"That's the way it is, this time Tang invited you to come just to let everyone get a piece of the pie. A middle-aged man in his forties laughed.

"Boss Tang, you said that Ding Mao Zhuang really has a lot of grain?" someone asked.

"Who am I, Tang Leopard, how can I pit you guys. ”

"Hmph, Boss Tang, your Fire Wolf Gang has always been the most domineering in this area, and most of the benefits are monopolized, will you be so kind to share our piece of the pie? There won't be any conspiracy, right?"

"Brother Chen laughed, everyone is a fellow believer, fighting against the government together, the advantage of my Fire Wolf Gang before is to take more, but my Fire Wolf Gang has a large population, so naturally the cost is larger, but now is different from the past, there is a new owner in Ding Mao Village, and before anyone arrives, he bought a lot of grain, I can tell you, it is a lot of food, so I Tang Bao specially came to inform you brothers. ”

"Boss Tang, why are you so many people today, I think there are only more than a hundred, what about the others?"

"Tang pursues stability, so he first sent some people down to investigate the news and find a suitable offensive line. ”

"Okay, let's believe Donald for the time being, you say what you see, how do you want us to cooperate, let's say okay first, we won't be pioneers. ”

"How can it make you embarrassed, what to do about it, let's talk while eating, Tang will definitely satisfy you." ”

......

Li Wuchang and Zhao Xun listened to everyone's chat and had a general understanding of what was going on.

It turned out that this Fire Wolf Gang really wanted to unite some miscellaneous forces to give Ding Maozhuang a ruthless blow.

It seems that this time it is the right time, and this gang of bandits must not be allowed to strike first, otherwise they will fall into a siege situation and be exhausted.

Li Wuchang nodded at Zhao Xun, signaling that he could go, and then think of a way after meeting with Jiang Minglun.

On the way back, Li Wuchang said with emotion: "Are there really so many bandits in Yongzhou? There are only a dozen soldiers in our area, and yesterday I heard that bandit say that in addition to the three hundred of the Fire Wolf Gang, there are more than 20 other forces, and each force has more than 100 people, which adds up to a few thousand, Nanshan is so big, and the ghost knows how many bandits there are in other places." ”

Zhao Xun said with a smile: "Nanshan is so big, it is difficult to have bandits everywhere, the location of this place is more peculiar, to the north is Beidi County, and to the south is Jingzhao County, it is convenient to inquire about the news here, the Fire Wolf Gang is active in the three counties of Feng Yi in the north of Jingzhao, Feng Yi is the link, and it is reasonable to send some people to be stationed here." ”

Li Wuchang pondered for a moment and said: "That's a lot, Nanshan plus bandits in other places, let's just say that some time ago Niumaoshan was several thousand, so casually calculated, the bandits are at least tens of thousands, maybe there are 100,000, it can be compared to the Jizhou battlefield, is there so many people in Dayan, there are so many bandits alone?"

Zhao Xun explained: "For more than 200 years since the founding of Dayan, except for the first ten years and the last twenty years, most of the wars have been serious, and most of the rest of the time has been recuperating, and the population has grown rapidly, resulting in a very large base, so ......."

Li Wuchang nodded silently, thinking in his heart that if the imperial court had enough grain and grass, he might be able to recruit millions of troops casually, or even more.

After the two returned to the main unit, they explained the situation to everyone.

After listening to this, the veterans changed color at the same time.

Jiang Minglun said: "We must not let them partner to fight our Zhuangzi's idea, we must give them a hand first and disrupt their rhythm." ”

Li Wuchang experienced the big scene of Niumao Mountain some time ago, so he didn't feel nervous about this small scene at the moment, and said with a smile: "Everyone take it easy, we have the initiative, and in the dark, just yin them, they will suffer." ”

After a pause, he continued: "That's it, there is still a period of time before they have lunch, Minglun Changping, you take out all the guys, Brother Xun and I will make trouble, and give them a few more fires, and you will hide in the periphery to harvest." ”

Last night, Li Wuchang thought of a lot of tricks and thought about drugged.

I originally wanted to take the Qi Diffusing Pill, but the amount was too small, so I gave up, and the other poisons were afraid of being recognized, so I got a few large packets of laxatives and pretended to be several copies, and let Jiang Minglun, Zhai Changping, and Zhao Xun take them, and the amount was enough to make hundreds of people weak to the point that their legs were weak.

Zhai Changping and Jiang Minglun both took out a large paper bag from their respective plackets and handed it to Li Wuchang.

The general plan is that Li Wuchang and Zhao Xun go in to make trouble, and Jiang Minglun and Zhai Changping will lead a group of people to find a small gang to attack.

Then it's time to discuss the details.

It's still the same, you must be careful, you can't be strong, try to be as obscene as possible, as obscene as you can, in this case, you can't fight with a gang of bandits.
