After Zhang Di led the remnants to flee in panic, he and the remnants hid in the vast mountains and forests. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 After this battle, the conquest army has also gained a comprehensive advantage, Wang Huan and Zhang Kai led the men and horses of the headquarters into Tongtao County to sit and command, and the men and horses under their command turned into several teams to search for the hiding place of the rest of Zhang Di's troops.

During this period of time, Xiao Tang has also gotten along with Zhu Jing, Sun An, Qiao Daoqing, etc., and after several wars, he has become more and more like a military general.

On this day, Xiao Tang took Hua Rong, Suo Chao, Sun An, Zhu Jing and Shi Qian to lead the army and horses of the headquarters to search for Tongluo Mountain in the direction of the west back, and the unified infantry barracks of Zhou Jin and Wang Ding of the Daimyo Mansion were also several miles away from Xiao Tang to coordinate the search.

Now the staffing in Xiao Tang's team, the martial arts and brave foundations are all at the level of five tigers and eight horses. Even Shi Qian, who is not good at battlefield fighting, is also alert and smart, and is very good at detecting the sound of light masters, even if he encounters the enemy suddenly, he is afraid that it will be difficult to stop these big insects with clever means.

As expected, Li Tianxi, who was born in Tongba Mountain in the southern Hebei army, has long since abandoned Dazhai, and I don't know where he and Zhang Di and his party are hidden. Because the nearby is a mountainous plateau with extensive coverage, and Tongluo Mountain is connected to Shiti Mountain and other mountains, the surrounding terrain is very complicated, and it may take a lot of effort to find Zhang Di's hiding place in this treacherous mountain and bad water.

"Prison Xiao, I learned from the head of the Yamen in Tonglu County that further along this road, there are some hunters who rely on the mountains and eat the mountains, gathering in groups of three or five, do we want to interrogate them?"

Sun An pointed to the front of the stretching mountain trail and reported to Xiao Tang. This Sun An committed a life lawsuit and fled to the rivers and lakes, but he learned a skill, and I am afraid that he also wanted to make a name for himself in order to repay his ambition. It's just that he killed the bully in the township in order to avenge his father, and later escaped arrest and cheapened Tian Hu, who was waiting for an opportunity to make trouble, and when he served as the commander of the puppet Jin Kingdom, he immediately adapted to the identity of the commander of tens of thousands of male soldiers.

Xiao Tang looked at the surrounding terrain, only to see strange rocks, rugged mountain roads, it is really a place of dangerous mountains and bad waters, he bowed his head and said: "Make, it's just that there are many strong people rampant in this mountain, and it is impossible to say that the villagers in the mountains have also suffered endlessly." It's best to ask some eyebrows, if you can't ask anything, they are all bitter mountain people, don't be difficult for them, don't let the villagers be frightened. ”

Xiao Tang led the team around a few mountain cols and came to a canyon, which was no more than two or three miles of flat terrain at most. There are four or five thatched huts in the middle, which look very dilapidated at a glance, only to see the ruins and broken walls, thatched huts and earth walls, which are extremely barren and desolate.

When a group of soldiers and horses surrounded those grass huts, Xiao Tang had just led the people to the mouth of the canyon, and a pair of officers and soldiers had already rushed in and drove the mountain people out door by door.

Four or five huts, a dozen mountain hunters with yellow muscles and tattered clothes, it seems that they are all people who have lived here for generations, although this place is extremely barren, and there are bandits and strongmen to make trouble, but they seem to have become accustomed to this kind of life. Even when they were driven out of the house, those people looked at the officers and soldiers with sharp blades on their faces numbly.

Xiao Tang frowned, he waved his hand to signal his soldiers to put down their blades, stepped forward and sang to the mountain people and asked: "Fellow villagers, we are here to encircle and suppress the rogues hiding in this Tongluo Mountain, you villagers have lived in the mountains for a long time and are familiar with the terrain, so I want to ask you, have you heard any movement in the past few days?" ”

A man in his forties and fifties with a blank face stood up among the mountain people, and he replied to Xiao Tang stiffly: "Master Guan, we don't know. ”

Xiao Tang listened to the man's indifferent words, and he asked again: "Then is there a place around where a large number of thieves can hide?" ”

The man still replied with a smile: "Master, we don't know. ”

Suo Chao, who was as anxious as fire, heard this, and said angrily: "Duh! Since you were born and grew up in this mountain, and you are familiar with the terrain of the mountain, how can you not know it? How dare you prevaricate like this!! ”

The mountain people were still indifferent when they saw Suo Chao's furious anger, only two scrawny children hugged their parents beside them, and looked at the fierce bearded military attaché, their eyes full of horror.

The corner of the mountain man's mouth in the lead twitched imperceptibly, and said: "Some time ago, the king Li Tianxi in the mountain had broken off a few mountain paths, so we didn't know. After the man finished speaking, he glanced at his dilapidated thatched hut again, and when he turned his head to look at Xiao Tang again, he was still numb and cold, and he didn't care.

Looking at the man's subtle actions, Xiao Tang seemed to understand why these mountain people had such an attitude towards him. In the past, although there were green forest strongmen in this Tongluo Mountain to cut the path, these mountain people were oppressed and exploited by the officials and the army, but I am afraid that there are only a lot more.

These mountain people have a very hard life, I am afraid that the mountain bandits and bandits see that they have no oil and water, and let them fend for themselves here, and when there are no mountain bandits and bandits, the ones who bully the door are the officials who are good at looting and exploiting, so for these mountain people, is there any difference between soldiers and thieves?

Xiao Tang looked behind the man and saw a yellow-faced muscular lady holding a four or five-year-old child, so he asked the man, "Is this your child?" ”

The man was stunned for a moment, and then clenched his fists, his face full of vigilance and anger. Xiao Tang summoned his henchmen Shi Qian, took out twenty taels of silver and handed it to the man, and said: "You have a miserable life, don't be bitter about the child and your wife, when the general leads the army to clear the strongmen who are raging here, he will let you live a peaceful life again." ”

After that, Xiao Tang ordered the sergeants under his command to untie bags of dry food and put them in front of the dozen or so mountain people. said: "There are strong men rampant in this mountain, but I am afraid that you will have to pay homage to it from time to time in order to be complete." If you have led the way, you will be rewarded by the government that will report to you, and if you are still willing to live a chaotic life, you will be able to do it. ”

The hostility in the man's eyes disappeared immediately, and in the past, when he saw those who were soldiers, they would only draw their swords, threaten and threaten, and act as a prestige, how could anyone ever send silver and food like this? The wishes of these bitter people are actually very easy to be satisfied, Xiao Tang's move has won the trust of these mountain people, the man pondered Xiao Tang's words carefully, and now he has taken his benefits, if this official is really able to say and believe, just to show them where to go, why not?

Thinking of this, the man arched and said: "This official, I and other officials have to pay homage to Li Tianxi's prey in the past, that Li Tianxi is afraid of the encirclement and suppression of the official army, in addition to Dazhai, he has set up a secret village in the deep mountains of Nanshan, but the villains in the deep mountains of Nanshan only know that there is a small road, and now it has been cut off by thieves, and the past is not ...... It's just that no matter whether the official can kill this guy or not, please don't say that I am waiting for more, but I am afraid that the thieves will find out and take revenge on me......"

"Don't worry, these thieves will die together, how can they be allowed to harm the people again!" Xiao Tang comforted the man, and then muttered again: "The truncated mountain road... It's a bit of a hassle. ”

"Might as well be! Since there is a path to find, I am not afraid that he will be broken, and there is a way to explore, isn't there anything else? Shi Qian suddenly said: "Besides, the thief must not only set up a road, otherwise he will be able to trap himself alive?" ”

Xiao Tang was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "This time we have to rely on the ability of the Shi Qian brothers." ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Xiao Tang led the crowd to find a way in the deep mountain path, through the forest through the mountains, quietly touched to the edge of the Nanshan Ridge, only to see that the mountains there were steep, the stone walls were steep, there was a small intersection between the mountains, but the top rock was pushed down by the thieves and the big stones were piled up and broken, and the high base was several zhang.

Shi Qian smiled at Xiao Tang and said, "Brother, let's lead the people to rest here, and when I go to find out the way, I will be there." "When he moved to the broken stone to use his ability to fly the eaves and walk the wall, there were cracks and gaps at the junction of the stone walls, so that Shi Qian turned his fingers and kicked over, and he flew and climbed several feet with a whoosh. Shi Qian climbed the stone wall, grinned at Xiao Tang and the others below, and then turned over, and his figure disappeared.

Suo Chao, Sun An, Hua Rong and others watched below, all dumbfounded, Suo Chao was dumbfounded, and said, "My good girl! Xiao Prison Prison, is your brother a human or a ghost? This is a freehand rock climb, it's like flying up out of thin air! ”

Xiao Tang smiled and said nothing, now he has this henchman brother in his hands, not only are there heroes who are good at fighting on the battlefield, but also heroes who are capable of 100 people who can't get close to him, and capable people who are proficient in all walks of life and all kinds of means abound, since he is fortunate to be able to form a road with these heroes, how can he not let them give full play to their talents and show their abilities......

Let's say that the time moved over the stone wall, and saw a sheep intestine mountain path stretching for several miles, and then a short distance to see a few cylinder buildings in the distance, and there were minions standing guard with a few torches above. Shi Qian smiled slightly, did not take the mountain scriptures, but along the steep cliffs and climbed vines, step by step through the tube tower, the sentry minions were unaware, and they had taught this drum flea to touch the hinterland where the southern Hebei Kou was hiding.

Shi Qian leaned over and climbed a big tree, he climbed straight to the top of the big tree with his hands and feet, and his figure crouched down in the dense foliage and looked down. Just take in the empty hinterland below, dozens of wooden fence camps, and strong people from all walks of life are gathered together, and there seem to be still two or three thousand people and horses. At this time, the fire candles were brightly reflected, and several groups of people gathered together, as if they were about to discuss something.

"Zhang Di's lair has now been discovered, and it seems that he should find out the secret way here earlier, so that he can teach Brother Xiao Tang to lead the army to sneak in and kill them by surprise." Shi Qian made up his mind, turned over, and his figure seemed to disappear out of thin air in the night, without a trace. (To be continued.) )
