The addition of Qi Fu made this battle a lot easier. His intelligence allowed the Zhenjiang army to win the battle of Daqishan at the lowest cost.

Before that, Tang Ning even considered using a big killing weapon to gnaw this difficult bone.

And with the information brought by Qi Fu, Tang Ning formulated a tactic to lure the snake out of the hole and catch the turtle in the urn.

First send 400 square summer camp soldiers, led by Qi Fu, take a small road around the back slope to wait for the opportunity, and then send 800 good men to the mountain to feint, only to protect themselves, not to kill the enemy. As soon as the bandits' attack** becomes apparent, pull them down. The rest of the soldiers lay in ambush near the left.

Immediately after that, the soldiers of the 400-square-meter summer camp took the opportunity to occupy the entire village, and the ambush soldiers under the mountain first caught them off guard, and when those bandits found that the situation was wrong and began to run back, they would find that their hometown was occupied.

There were wolves in front and tigers in the back, and several Duyu Marquis led their own people, laid down an offensive formation like a big net, and shrank towards the bandits, so that none of the robbers in Daqi Mountain could escape.

I thought it was a bandit who was no different from a normal day, but I didn't expect Liu Ling, who went up the mountain with the Pingxia camp, to have an unexpected gain.

"Guo An." After lifting the big tent, Tang Ning's eyes fell on Guo An's face, who was tied to a stool. With a grin, Tang Ning shouted at him, pointed to his nose and said, "Do you remember me?" ”

Guo An tugged at the corners of his mouth and said, "Naturally remember, aren't you the master of the superintendent back then?" I thought that Tang Killer and you just happened to have a surname, but I didn't expect it to be you.

Does a certain family want to congratulate you on what you have done? ”

"Less flamboyant!" Qi Fu stood aside and scolded.

Tang Ning stretched out his hand to signal Qi Fu not to be so fierce, and he moved a small horse from the side to sit down, but found that it was a little low, so he had to stand with his hands in place and look at Guo An, and said with a smile: "Then thank you Brother Guo." ”

Guo An let out a slight snort from his nose, raised his eyebrows and looked at Tang Ning and said, "Why did Lord Tang catch a certain family, could there be something that Lord Tang wanted?" ”

"Really." Tang Ning said seriously: "The head on your neck, I want it very much." ”

"Why is that?"

"Not to mention that you, as a general of the Xiang Army, colluded with bandits and betrayed the court. On that day, you defected and almost killed my master.

It's just that you ran fast that day, and I never found you later. And you don't think I've forgotten about it, do you? ”

Guo An is also a bachelor, and when he saw this, he sneered and said: "If you want to kill or chop, you can do it." ”

"Before killing, I have to ask a few words, why are you in such a hurry to reincarnate?" Tang Ning smiled, and then raised his chin at Qi Fu: "Untie him." ”

"That's not good, brother-in-law, in case he suddenly makes a move......"

"What are you afraid of, Brother Liu is here, Brother Lin is here, you are also here, him

What other waves can be turned over? By the way, you go and ask the cook to cook something good for him, and after a while, you will have a meal, and don't go on the road on an empty stomach. ”

Guo An glanced at Tang Ning with a complicated expression, in his impression, this was not Tang Ning's style.

Qi Fu muttered in his mouth and stepped forward to unbutton the rope for him, and Guo An, who was firmly tied to the chair, felt a little more comfortable. After moving his wrists and ankles, he nodded at Tang Ning and said, "Thank you, Lord Tang." ”

Tang Ning laughed, and then asked, "Actually, I was surprised when I knew that you were Boss Guo of Daqi Mountain.

You have no roots in the green forest, and by what means did you gather 800 people in just one year? Don't tell me that Ma Sandao is the one who stayed, even if he stayed, I don't believe that you were elected as the boss.

Can you tell me what you used? ”

Guo An nodded and said, "No problem."

On that day, after a certain family escaped from Daqi Mountain, they bumped into another group of robbers. Then one of their leaders asked a certain family to join them.

At that time, a certain family thought that there was nowhere to go left and right, and the great revenge had not yet been avenged, so they joined his command. These 800 people were also scattered and handed over to a certain family after he gathered the remnants of Ma Sandao, and he wanted a certain family to occupy Daqi Mountain. ”

Liu Ling hugged his arms and raised his eyebrows.

Tang Ning wondered, "Who is that person?" ”

"Listen to his subordinates call him Brother Zhao." Guo An said calmly: "And he is a very strange person, even when he kills, he still has a smile on his face." ”

"Zhao Ren?" Tang Ning was taken aback at the moment, turned his head to look at Liu Ling, and Liu Ling nodded solemnly.

"It seems to be the name." Guo An smiled: "By the way, for the sake of Lord Tang, you are good to a certain family, and a certain family will tell you one thing." ”

"What?"

"Zhao Ren has gathered a lot of famous people in the green forest, and now Huaidong, Huaixi 2nd Road, his manpower is all over the mountain. More than half of the bandits you have suppressed along the way have been named by him.

Also, the bandits in Chuzhou held a meeting to unite against the Zhenjiang army. Excluding the 800 people in Daqi Mountain, there are still more than 2,000 people, maybe if you fall asleep one day, these 2,000 people will be killed.

So in Chuzhou, don't feel at ease. ”

It can be seen that Guo An is very satisfied with Tang Ning's behavior of untying him and giving him a good meal before sending him on the road. These words can be said to inform him of the crisis facing Tang Ning in advance.

However, what Tang Ning cared about most was not the news that the Chuzhou bandits had joined forces to deal with him, but the matter of Zhao Ren's gathering of manpower.

"What is Zhao Ren doing when he gathers so many people?"

"I don't know specifically, a certain family once heard by chance that he wanted to unite all the bandits and robbers in the world."

"No

Possible. Liu Ling shook his head and interjected: "Most of the robbers are ruthless and unjust, and if something happens, they have already gone their separate ways." And he is in a different place, how can he manage the bandits sent out to occupy the mountain? ”

Guo Anu pouted and said: "At first, a certain family didn't believe it, but now the strongmen in Huaidong and Huaixi Second Road are all listening to his orders.

You don't have to stare at a certain family, and a certain family wants to know how he did it. ”

Liu Ling let out a long sigh, he was negligent and failed to kill Zhao Ren completely, and that bastard who was not even a ringworm scabies disease had now become a big problem.

Such an identity change made Liu Ling regret it. If I had caught up with him, where would there have been so many things?

Secretly scolding himself, Liu Ling clenched his fists tightly and left the big tent.

"Dinner is coming." Qi Fu walked over with a dinner plate, and the contents inside were not unsumptuous.

Maybe the firehead soldiers thought that Tang Ning wanted to change the taste, so there was not only a whole roast chicken, but also pig's trotters that Tang Ning taught them to make, and a rare green vegetable at this time.

A bowl of rice, two taels of wine, a plate of fried soybeans, and two steamed buns, Guo An laughed when he saw it: "In the past, I heard from the people under my command that the government would send a big meal to the death row prisoners before cutting off their heads.

One family also thinks that this meal is just more than usual.

When I saw it today, Lord Tang was really generous. Those words of a certain family just now were not in vain. ”

After saying that, he stood up from his chair, and the Zhenjiang soldiers who were on guard around him immediately showed their knives and gestured at him.

And Guo An just hugged his fist at Tang Ning and bowed deeply. Raising his head, he looked at Tang Ning, whose face was still a little immature, and sighed: "It would be great if a certain family met a commander like you when they were in Kaifeng to ban the army." ”

After that, he took the dinner plate from Qi Fu's hand, put it on the ground, sat cross-legged, and began to gobble it up.

Tang Ning said softly: "Actually, you have a chance." ”

Guo An stuffed something into his mouth while saying vaguely: "A certain family knows...... It was not bad for you to stay at a certain house at the beginning...... A certain family will know that you have a heart to please a certain family...... However, at that time, a certain family only thought about revenge on the imperial court......"

"You've chosen the wrong target." Tang Ning whispered: "If I were you, I would only stare at the hand of the person surnamed Cao." If you want to fight against the entire court, you still overestimate yourself a little. ”

Guo An's movements at hand stopped for a moment, and he raised his head to look at Tang Ning. This seven-foot man with a tiger's back and a full beard was already in tears.

"My lord, do you know why I was kicked out of the house by my mother, and I was never allowed to step into the house again? Do you know why? ”

Tangning licked his lips, the truth was so poignant that it was hard for him to say.

After a moment of silence, Tang Ning looked at Guo An and said, "How can there be a mother in the world who doesn't love her son......"
