The fat man offered to hunt with the foal, which made the foal suddenly nervous, could it be that he was suspected, but if he thought about it carefully, the fat man didn't have so many eyes, and besides, the request to hunt together was also very reasonable, and there was nothing suspicious.

Maybe the fat man is just curious, and he doesn't understand why the foal catches the pheasant so easily, what is the trick that is not passed on, it is always good to learn, but the fat man is so studious, but it gives the foal a headache, if the fat man keeps following, he can't connect with the big foal.

But if you clearly oppose it, it is easy to attract the suspicion of the fat man, and the situation may be worse, so you have to find a better reason to refuse.

"Fatty, this fight pheasant is not so simple, in addition to the archery skills must be good enough, there is also a very important point, that is, the action must be light, and the pheasant must not be discovered, if it is found by the pheasant, it will fly away in a smoke, and it will never be found again, do you understand."

The foal spoke.

"Don't worry, don't worry, I'll be careful."

The fat man reassured.

Since the fat man is still unwilling to give up, the foal can only cooperate with the big foal to drive the dead fat man away when he is hunting.

The two of them crept forward, for fear of making a little noise, but, after walking a few dozen steps, because the pheasant had not been visible, the foal made a few soft calls, which was in contact with the foal, but what he could tell the fat man was that he was learning the sound of the pheasant.

When the big colt heard the signal, he quickly made a plopping sound and flew away, which was naturally heard by the foal and the fat man.

"Fatty, did you hear it, the pheasant flew away, it's all your fault."

The foal spoke.

When the fat man heard this, he was anxious and retorted: "How can you blame me? You learned how to fly away from pheasants, and everything can depend on me. ”

The foal retorted: "The pheasant is very shrewd, and his eyes are very good, and when he hears the sound, he will carefully observe the direction from which the sound came, and will fly away immediately after discovering that there is an abnormality. ”

"I'm born so fat, what can I do, blame me!"

The fat man was angry.

"Fatty, just know that you are fat, let's go back and rest! If you want to eat chicken early, just listen to me, I'm small, and it's not easy for pheasants to be found when I hide. ”

The foal spoke.

The fat man said helplessly: "Okay! However, Lao Tzu was in a bad mood, and he would give Lao Tzu half a pheasant later. ”

"Okay! One and a half of us, the head of the chicken belongs to me, and the butt of the chicken is returned to you, haha! ”

The foal said with a smile.

"It's really tiring and unpleasant, I'm going to sleep for a while."

The fat man sighed, and was about to go to sleep on a big rock dozens of steps away, ten pony thieves were chopping wood nearby, and he didn't bother to care, anyway, nothing would happen in a group of two.

The foal is finally free from the fat man's entanglement, so that he can join his brother Pony without any problems.

Fearing that someone would find him, the foal walked and stopped very carefully, and looked behind him from time to time, and only after making sure that no one was following him, did he boldly meet the foal.

"What did the fat man do just now? Isn't it suspicious of you. ”

Big Pony asked.

"No, he just wanted to learn the skills of hunting pheasants, and I tricked him back, how about it, is there two for this time?"

The foal asked.

"Don't worry, one male and one female, exactly two, how about it, do you know where the horse thief is going to escape?"

The big colt spoke.

"I figured it out, they are going to Hutu Mountain in Hedong, and even the route has been found out by me, this is the map."

The foal said, taking the map out of his arms.

"Second brother, it's good, you have made a great contribution, and the general will be very happy to know it."

The big colt said happily.

"Big brother, this red line is for transporting grain and grass, and the horse thieves in Xiazhou City are in charge, the green is the route that the horse thieves are going to take, and there are more than 100 horse thieves along the purple line, and it is estimated that they will set off in these days."

The foal said.

"Okay, I remember, I'll go back and report to the general."

Big Pony said.

"What about me? When am I leaving. ”

The foal asked.

The big foal frowned and hesitated: "Second brother, you can't leave, if you leave easily, the horse thief will know that the plan has been leaked, in case these guys scatter and run away, it will be difficult to catch, only if they get together to act, it is best to arrest." ”

"Will the officers and soldiers hurt me? How do I prove my identity? ”

The foal said worriedly.

"Don't worry! I'll go with the army, and I'm not going to let you do anything with me. ”

The big foal spoke, and took out the two pheasants that were hiding in the grass.

"Big brother, be careful, I'll go back."

The foal kills the two pheasants with an arrow, and then goes back with the pheasants.

In just a few moments, the fat man was already snoring from sleep, not to mention how loud the sound was, and he could hear it from a hundred steps.

"Fatty, fat, the pheasant is coming, the pheasant is hit."

The foal shouts loudly and puts a pheasant on the fat man's neck.

Even so, the fat man slept like a dead pig, without the slightest intention of waking up.

"Forget it, I'll sleep too!"

The foal closes his eyes and recovers, and he is not woken up until the ten pony thieves have finished chopping firewood.

"Pheasants, two pheasants, Brother Pony is amazing!"

"Today is a feast again."

"Let's split up and prepare! Grill the meat earlier and eat it earlier. ”

The pony thieves babbled.

Ten pony thieves split up to prepare firewood and wash pheasants, and soon everything was ready.

"Let's talk about it first, I'll only give you one of these two pheasants, and I'll share one with Little Pony."

The fat man said domineeringly.

"Fat brother, your belly is so big, and you still eat so much, eat less!"

A pony thief disgruntled.

"Shut up, it's good to give you food, the ten of you will share one, and you can share it yourself! It's just, give it to me. ”

The fat man snatched the male pheasant domineeringly and roasted it on the bonfire himself.

The pony thieves naturally dare not speak out, and this pheasant is not what they hunted, so it is good to be able to eat a bite, and if they give any more opinions, they will not be eaten.

"Brother Xiaoma, I heard that the scenery in the east of the river is beautiful, and there are many more trees in the mountains than here, so there must be more pheasants! In this way, after arriving in Hedong, we can eat pheasant meat often! ”

A pony thief spoke.

When the foal heard this, he sighed in his heart, and soon the officers and soldiers would encircle and suppress them, and they still wanted to go to Hedong to eat meat.

"Don't worry! Brothers, as long as you follow me, you can eat pheasant meat every day in the future. ”

The foal speaks, drawing a pie for the pony thieves.

The pony thieves were still eating roast chicken, and at the same time, the big colt was already on his way to the camp, and he wanted to send this extremely important map to Lao Guo's hands as soon as possible, so as to facilitate the deployment of the army.

In the cave where the grain was hidden in the original horse thief's lair, Li An was resting, although the house outside was more spacious, but the temperature was too low, the temperature in the cave was relatively warm, at least about ten degrees warmer than the room outside, people did not need to wear cotton clothes inside, in short, it was very comfortable.

Lao Guo and Lao Chen have also been staying in the cave, after all, the cave is comfortable, it is too cold outside, and in order to make space and ensure the freshness of the air inside the cave, most of the food inside, especially the flavorful food such as bacon and pickles, has been vacated, so that there is no smell in the cave anymore, and there is no problem to sleep in it at night.

"Madam, let you go back to Zhou City, why did you come here, the cave is dark, it's too wronged Madam."

Li An hugged Li Hanlu and spoke.

In order to make it convenient for Li An and his wife to live, a small room was specially separated from the cave with a cloth curtain, in this small room, no matter what Li An and Li Hanlu do, they can't see from the outside, but the sound insulation effect of the curtain is too poor, if there is some movement, it can be heard outside, and as long as Li An and Li Hanlu do something, the movement will definitely be small, so in order not to interfere with others, Li An can only endure it, and at most touch it twice to relieve his hunger when he can't hold it back.

"What's wronged, where there is a husband, there is warmth, so I don't want to live alone in Xiazhou City? Is that what is called grievance? ”

Li Hanlu said in a low voice.

"It's also said that where there is a husband, there is warmth, but it's a pity that the conditions here are not good, and you can't do it if you want to be a husband, it's too aggrieved."

Li An gently stroked Li Hanlu's cheek and said helplessly.

"The husband is not serious again, and he thinks about it again when he talks about it."

Li Han glanced at Li An.

Li An sighed very unhappily: "Hey! It's been holding back for days, can you not want to? After the horse thief is destroyed, go to Xiazhou City, and the husband must compensate his wife well. ”

"Is it the kind that can't get out of bed?"

"Hahaha......"

Soon, the colt returned to the camp and immediately delivered the information he had obtained to Lao Guo.

When Lao Guo saw the news, he was very happy, and hurriedly walked to the cave, ready to discuss with Li An how to send troops to intercept him, but found that Li An hadn't gotten up yet?

"Li Shilang, are you still asleep? The foal has news. ”

Lao Guo said loudly.

Li An hurriedly got up and left the small room and asked, "What's the news, is the horse thief running away?" ”

Lao Guo said with a smile: "That's right, the horse thieves are about to go out, just in the past two days, they are really going to Hedong, which is close to Jinyang's Hutu Mountain, a good place!" These are the three routes taken by the horse thieves to Hedong, and they are not much different from what we guessed before, but we didn't expect them to have three roads, and we guessed two. ”

Ang Lee walked over, looked at the map drawn by the foal, and nodded, "This pony thief is also a talent!" As long as you know the route of the horse thief, you can directly send troops to intercept them on the way, so that you can completely eliminate all these horse thieves without a single soldier. ”

"Yes! With this map, you can easily eliminate all the horse thieves, and this time it is best to capture them alive, so that they can also turn their ways. ”

Lao Guo said.

"Lao Guo is right, it is better to be a prisoner or a prisoner, but if you encounter a horse thief who dares to resist, then you don't have to be polite, just kill it."

Li An said.

"Lao Guo, I heard that the information of the horse thief has been obtained, show it to me."

Lao Chen ran in in a hurry, took the map and smiled.

"The enemy army has a total of three people, and the three of us are responsible for all the way, and we will destroy them all in one fell swoop."

Lao Chen finished reading the map and spoke.

"Good! Lao Chen, you are responsible for the middle road! There are more than 100 enemies on this road, but all of them are elites, Lao Guo and I are in charge of the north road, there are more than 200 horse thieves on this road, and they are the main force of horse thieves, as for the official road in the south, because there are only a dozen horse thieves, just send some troops to stop the team, and this road is not to be afraid at all. ”

Li An said.

"Okay, no problem, I have no opinion, a hundred people is a lot, and I didn't come in vain."

Lao Chen happily agreed.

Lao Guo didn't have an opinion, nodded and said: "This arrangement is good, we all have something to do, but Lao Chen shouldn't just rush and kill, don't forget to capture a few horse thieves, the more captures, the better." ”

Lao Chen didn't quite agree: "These horse thieves do bad things, it's good to kill them all, why are they still captured, it's too troublesome." ”

Lao Chen has always been distrustful of these horse thieves who are full of vices, even if these horse thieves have never killed anyone, in his opinion, they are also bad habits that are difficult to change, and they are the most trouble-free.

"Lao Chen! Many of these horse thieves have never killed anyone, and they are not bad people, and it is best to give them a chance, but if they refuse to surrender, then you are welcome, just kill them. ”

Lao Guo said.

"Okay, I know what to do."

Lao Chen said, his eyes kept staring at the map, he was choosing the best ambush location, since he knew the way the horse thief was going, it was naturally the best to do a good job of ambush in the dangerous position of the road that the horse thief must pass, so that the horse thief could be caught off guard, and he could get the maximum result with the least loss.

There is only one strategic goal set by everyone, that is, no horse thief can escape, since it is an ambush halfway, all the horse thieves must be surrounded to death, and a very good position must be selected, so that the besieged horse thieves have no way to escape, can only surrender obediently, or be wiped out without resistance.

If the horse thieves take a flat road, they can bite some officers and soldiers to death no matter what, but the horse thieves do not take a good road, so it creates a very good opportunity for the officers and soldiers to ambush, so that the officers and soldiers can easily wipe out these horse thieves who have fallen into the ambush circle.
