Therefore, in the past ten years, the Qiqian people have sent troops many times to exterminate this force, but they have always lost their troops and returned in failure; and according to the investigation reports at the time, it was said that the main mine in the mine valley had already collapsed, and it took too much effort to continue to restore the ore cave, so the Qiqian people had to guard the intersection of the nearby mountainous areas, and did not let Zhao Er and them kill them.

And Zhao Er and the others still had some ideas at first, and they also wanted to avenge the dead relatives and friends, and after repelling several attacks by the Monkeys, they also sent people out of the mountains to attack and disturb the Monkeys, but after all, they were not regular soldiers, and once they left their bases, they had no experience and strength to go out to fight; Seeing this, Zhao Er and the others no longer wanted to rush out, but just firmly guarded the base camp.

After a long time, both sides knew that it would be difficult to attack, so they gradually reached a balance and did not invade each other. But in the overall environment, Zhao Er and others were able to gain a firm foothold in the Suishan Mining Valley, which was also a great achievement in this large area of the occupied area, and soon attracted a group of people with lofty ideals to join Zhao Er's team through hardships and dangers. There was also a more detailed plan for the arrangement of weapons and so on, and a small number of men were also sent to occupy some advantageous hills outside the mining valley. Slowly, Zhao Er's team gradually expanded, and its strength continued to increase, with more than 5,000 people, with enough soldiers and food, with the mine valley as the fulcrum, occupying a lot of mountains in this mountainous area, but it has not been able to go out.

The garrison stationed in the local Qiqian people was really unable to break through this valley, and the main mine cave had been destroyed, and the iron ore resources had become like chicken ribs, and when they saw Zhao Er and the others, they didn't come out to harass them, so they had to turn a blind eye and let them exist.

However, Mei Chaojian, the supreme commander of the Qixuan army stationed in the so-called Yingguan country, did not think so.

Mei Chaojian had just taken up this position, and his views were very different from those of his predecessors. Mei Chaojian thought that it was a shame for the people stationed here to have such a powerful armed resistance organization in this area that had been occupied for ten years, and he was in a high position, and he also knew some high-level secrets of the imperial court and the military department of the country, and knew that once another big plan began to be implemented, the strength of his troops would definitely change, and a large number of troops would be transferred to other battlefields.

But Mei Chao Jian is also extremely intelligent and cautious, and he knows that his predecessor must have his own reason for not eradicating these armed groups for so long, so Mei Chao Jian has gathered many officers to learn some details since he took office.

After learning about the specific situation of the Suishan Mine Valley and the pros and cons of the battle at that time, Mei Chaojian quickly had a plan in his heart, he first immediately contacted the Evil Confucian Dao and asked them to help find out the situation of the mana suppression disk that they had made and later sent to this mine valley, and then ordered the mobilization of troops to prepare to exterminate the armed organization of Zhao Er and others in the Suishan Mine Valley, and recapture the iron ore valley by the way.

Kong Rui stayed overnight all the way, cautiously, and finally walked to the area of Suishan; he walked from here when he was a child, and he was young at that time, and fled all the way with Su Yun, and his memory of this large mountain range was also blurred a lot, and he couldn't find the way into the mountain, so he spent some time walking around several towns outside the mountain, wanting to know what the current situation of Zhao Er and the others was, in case they relied on bullying the weak to live like they did in the mine valley back then, then he naturally wouldn't want to help them.

During this time, it was the rainy season, and Kong Rui didn't dare to show his mana cultivation when he walked outside, but after walking for a while, his feet were covered with mud, so he thought about finding a place to live first, and then continued to walk when the road conditions were a little better, so he found a small inn in the town to live in.

On this day, Kong Rui was meditating in the inn room, when he heard people outside shouting and neighing from a distance, as if a large group of soldiers and horses had walked in.

Kong Rui hurriedly stood by the window and looked out, looking along the street, sure enough, there was a large group of soldiers and horses marching, and without stopping, he passed directly through the town and continued to walk forward;

Seeing this situation, Kong Rui felt very strange, it was the rainy season now, but how could there be a large number of soldiers and horses of the Devil Cultivators being mobilized? Moreover, these Demon Cultivators were also mixed in, could it be that they were preparing for a big battle?

Kong Rui entered the territory of the so-called Yingguan Country, and felt that it was much calmer than some places in the south, and sometimes he also talked about these things with some local people, and he had long known that this place had fallen for many years after all, and there was basically no big battle to fight, at most, the movement of some garrisons and the suppression of the actions of the resistance organizations, and many of the resistance organizations had been reduced to bandits, but there were some people of the Great Yan Country who hated them to the core, but the people of the Yan Kingdom did not try their best to eliminate them, and the people of the Yan Kingdom also wished that the people of the Great Yan Country would fight in the nest, so that they could sit and reap the benefits of the fishermen。

Thinking of this, Kong Rui hurriedly called the innkeeper into the room and said to him, "Man, what are your best dishes here?" ”

As soon as he heard this, the guy was very happy, only that Kong Rui was generous, this generation has not been very peaceful over the years, and the business of the inn is not good to do a lot, it is rare to have someone like Kong Rui who opened his mouth to ask for the best dishes, and the guy hurriedly reported seven or eight dishes, and said to Kong Rui: "The dishes in the small shop are actually very delicious, but these dishes are the best, which ones does the guest officer want to order?"

In fact, Kong Rui was not interested in these dishes, so he ordered two dishes at random and asked the guy to cook them and serve them.

Seeing that Kong Rui was dressed in ordinary clothes and stepping on the mud on both feet, he hesitated for a moment and stood beside him and did not leave; when Kong Rui saw the man act like this, he immediately knew what he meant, so he reached out and took out a small ingot of silver, put it on the table, and said to the man, "This silver should be enough, right?"

Seeing that Qian's eyes were open, the guy hurriedly nodded and said, "Enough, enough, please wait, the guest officer will serve the dishes immediately." Would you like a pot of wine from the guest officer?" Kong Rui shook his head and said, "I don't drink." Just bring me some food. The man immediately went out to serve food to Kong Rui.

After a while, the man carried the food into Kong Rui's room. Kong Rui waited for him to put the food away, and then asked, "Man, there was a large group of soldiers and horses passing through the town just now, where did they go?"

"The guest officer doesn't know that this place is close to the mountains, and there is a group of silkworms in the mountains who are extremely strong, and it may be that the squirrels are going to kill them again. "The guy doesn't mind, he said.

Kong Rui grew up in this area, so he naturally knew the meaning of the locks, and asked, "If there are such powerful locks, how will your business be done?"

The guy shook his head and said: "The guest officer is a foreigner, I don't know our situation here, this mountain maiden never robs the house, and never bullies our people." They just went against the schemers, and the schemers hated them to the core. ”

Kong Rui secretly appreciated it in his heart, and asked the guy again: "The people have been exterminated for so many years, have they not been exterminated?"

"Yes, this gang of silkworms is indeed very powerful, anyway, I know that the Qianqian people have always suffered defeats in the past few years, and it has been a long time since these years, and this time I don't know how the Qianqian people sent people to kill them. "Dude still knows a lot.

"Then if this guy doesn't know the news, won't he suffer a big loss?" Kong Rui was stunned in his heart and hurriedly asked.

"The guest officer doesn't know, the eyes of this group of dreadlocks are everywhere nearby, how can they not know that the Yakin is moving troops? But this time it is indeed a bit strange, the Raider is so blatantly killing them, they must still be prepared to suffer defeat, and I don't know what they think. But more scheming people deserve to die. The guy smiled and said disapprovingly.

Kong Rui was relieved when he heard the guy say that Zhao Er and they should be prepared, but listening to the guy's words did make some sense. Could it be that this stinger didn't know that he had failed many times before, and he still insisted on doing this, or did the stinger already have another conspiracy? Even if this inn guy knew something, how could the officer of the stinger not think of it? Thinking of this, Kong Rui's heart became nervous, so he pushed the ingot of silver to the man and said to him: "Okay, you go down first, and then come back to clean up the dishes and chopsticks later." You don't need to look for any money, but the rest will be given to you. ”

Seeing that he was so generous, the guy hurriedly smiled all over his face, and said to Kong Rui: "The guest officer uses it slowly, and the small one will come up in a while." ”

Kong Rui suddenly remembered something again, and hurriedly stopped the guy and said, "Man, let me ask you, when will this rainy season pass?"

The guy calculated: "At most, it will take five or six days, and at least one or two days before the rain will stop." Kong Rui waved his hand, and the man picked up the silver and exited Kong Rui's room.
