In front of the barracks, the mountain people who received food appeared one after another, at first they were still skeptical, and they were all old people and children, and when they found that they could really receive yellow corn and white salt, the crowd suddenly boiled......

The mountain people helped the old and the young, almost pouring out, as long as they were able to move, all came; The officials and soldiers in turn sent food to the people, which is a good thing that has never been encountered by the ancestors, the previous government will only collect grain, taxes, and labor from them, and when the army crosses, it will rob things and women, this time the sun really came out of the west~~

The soldiers who distribute the food are not only kind, but also will have a short chat with the parents of the mountain people, and when they meet those frail old people, they will even take the initiative to carry the food to your home, which has won the unanimous praise of the mountain people.

However, in the small talk, all the soldiers intentionally or unintentionally revealed a news, two days later, their general will lead a large group of people into the mountains to suppress the bandits, and then everyone will have a peaceful life......

Speaking unintentionally, listening intentionally, especially some relatives and friends living in the mountains, they listened very carefully, even the specific time of the official army's attack, the number of troops, they will try their best to ask out, for this reason they do not hesitate to take out the bacon at home, and the long-cherished 'mountain fruit wine' to entertain these soldiers, in order to spit out the truth after drinking......

And these officers and soldiers also live up to expectations, what do they say after drinking, and the explanation is very specific, it seems that the amount of alcohol in the officers and soldiers is not very good!

In the camp, Xiao Yi took all these things into view, but he didn't say a word, it was impossible to gather the hearts of the mountain people with a little food, at least not in the short term, he didn't expect this, Xiao Yi just wanted to get along with the mountain people, and then pass on some information through them, and the most important thing was to show some people.

The rules of life of the people in the mountains are made at sunrise and resting at sunset, just like their ancestors for thousands of years, as for lamps and waxes, which have never appeared here, it is already distressing to illuminate with meat oil, so dare to hope for others; However, they are not without nothing to do, such as studying the work of the victim with their wives, which is one of the reasons why the birth rate in the mountains has remained high despite poverty, and having children is also one of the ways to kill time......

Of course, there are times when there are exceptions, like tonight!

After dusk, the sun sets in the western mountains, birds and beasts return to their nests, except for some wild beasts that come out at night to feed, they should sleep, but on the mountain path, black figures flash from time to time, one after another, all going to the depths of the mountain......

The second tiger is one of them, although the night road in the mountains is difficult, but it is nothing to him, a person who has lived in the mountains since he was a child, plus he is upright, young and strong, although he carries half a bag of food on his body, he still walks like a fly; The food was brought back from the gate of the barracks during the day, and a small bag of salt was carefully carried in his arms, don't underestimate these things, this is human life in the mountains!

Erhu was still very grateful to the soldiers who sent food, but this still couldn't stop him from running to the mountains overnight, because he also had an older brother, Dahu.

Dahu is a bandit, but also a small leader, this is not uncommon in the mountains, a family of two brothers, in order to survive, one into the mountains as a thief, the other stays at home to farm, marry, give birth to children, brothers help each other, there is news and notify each other; Like this time, the second tiger is to send food to his brother, the days in the mountains are also poor, don't think that being a thief can drink wine in a big bowl and eat meat in a large piece, that is the welfare that only the big boss has, as for the ordinary little minions, it is good to be able to barely eat a full stomach, and when the snow flies in the cold winter, the little minions will even freeze and starve to death......

Erhu knows that there are not a few people who go into the mountains to deliver food like him tonight, for example, the figure not far in front of him should be his neighbor Uncle Chen, and his son is also a bandit in the mountains, so he also has to send food, and he also has to send a letter, the official army will attack the mountain in two days, let them prepare early, don't crash into the knife.

"Xiao Lang, it's just some bandits, whoever dares to kill them in a mess, why bother sending grain and salt, we are not rich in these burdens!" Ma Liu is now a question, in the past, they always used knives to talk to the rebels in Shanyang County, what happened this time? Could it be that 'killing gods' also has a time to change sex!

"It's not that simple, this bandit is different from suppressing the local heroes, those city lords are like a house, tall, mighty, beautiful, but as long as you push it down, it will be destroyed, and the bandits, they are a piece of weeds, it seems to be weak and powerless, but the wildfire can't be burned, the spring breeze blows and grows, if you want to eradicate it, it's difficult!"

Xiao Yi shook his head, don't underestimate the survival ability of those bandits, these people are scattered and scattered, and when they are defeated, they will hide in the mountains, and when the officials and troops withdraw, they will rush out and continue to cause trouble, which is annoying, Xiao Yi doesn't want to spend his energy on suppressing bandits again and again, he still has big things to do.

"So we must use some special means, and winning people's hearts is only one of them; A big man once said that the suppression of bandits cannot be solved by killing many people, but must be divided into seven parts political and three parts military, a combination of rigidity and softness, external blockade, and fortress advance ......"

"Did the big guy succeed in the end?"

"Well! No! Xiao Yi stopped spitting, scratched his head in embarrassment, but said silently in his heart, "It's not that this method is bad, but because he has encountered a more powerful opponent, that is a holy lord who comes out once in five hundred years, regardless of the gains and losses of one city and one place, annihilating the enemy in the movement, surrounding the city with the countryside, and the world is invincible!" ”

"The incident of going into the mountains to suppress bandits two days later is also fake, right?" Ma Liu now suspects that even Xiao Yi's dream words may be a trap, it is really a step and three tricks, digging holes everywhere!

"Huh! It's just a false shot, and I'm not so stupid to go into the mountains in the cold winter, let the brothers eat and drink well, and let's stay still......"

"What about the grain?"

"Keep posting!"

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

In Mangdang Mountain, the big leader Zhu Yidao's eyes were blood-red, he had not closed his eyes for a day and a night, since he got the news that the official army was going to enter the mountain, he mobilized thousands of troops, distributed in various dangerous places in the mountain, dug traps, prepared ambushes, and waited for the officers and soldiers to get into his pocket array......

I knew that a day and a night had passed, and I didn't even see the figure of an officer or soldier, but it was my brother, who lay in the ravine for a day and a night, not to mention the boss's crime, and was frozen to death and frostbitten a lot, but it turned out to be a false alarm......

"What the hell is going on? Could it be that the news from the mountain is wrong? Or did the officers and soldiers change their minds halfway? Zhu Yidao was also full of questions, but unfortunately no one could answer him.

In the barracks under the mountain, Xiao Yi began to send cloth again, and the mountain people happily came to receive things, and at the same time heard a military secret again, "Last time, the official army did not enter the mountain because of the lack of troops, this time a large number of reinforcements were transferred from the county town, and they will enter the mountain to suppress bandits in two days, this time it is a real game......

Hearing the news, the two tigers of the mountain people ran away again overnight......

Hearing the news, Zhu Yidao led thousands of thieves to lie down in the cold north wind for another night, but as a result, the official army still did not come......

In this way, the third ......, the fourth ......, and the second failure!

"Big leader, the two masters of Erdaogou and Xiaogushan are sick, and they didn't bring anyone over to ambush!" A little minion with a cold snot was reporting the situation, since several ambushes failed, the leaders of the mountains were not so obedient, and no one wanted to lie on their stomachs in the ravine in winter, and as a result, there were always people who did not come when the guard was reported again.

"A bunch of bastards!" Zhu Yidao depressedly pulled out the pig-killing knife on his waist, this is the guy he ate back then, he was very emotional, and he never left his body.

Depressed and depressed, but he has no choice, the bandits have a lot of eyeliner under the mountain, and they can detect every move of the officials and soldiers at any time, just with this hand, Zhu Yidao can crisscross the Mangdang Mountain for many years, but I don't know what's wrong recently, the report is wrong, can it be said that these mountain people have been bought by the officials and the army?

"Pass the order down, if there are any more people under the mountain who lie about the military situation, there will be no forgiveness!"

"No!"

"Great Chief, you can't go on like this anymore, if you freeze a few more times, the brothers will all collapse!" The yellow squirrel covered with animal skins walked over, and he participated in these ambushes, although he pounced on the air again and again, he did not complain, which made Zhu Yidao very moved.

"Leader Huang, what do you mean?"

"There is news from the mountain, and the officials and soldiers are sending food and cloth to the mountain people, and the people's hearts have been drawn together, so the news will be repeatedly wronged!" Tightly on the animal skin, the weasel has also suffered in the past few days, "I guess this is the official army's 'false and real' plan, first deliberately let the mountain people spread false news, again and again to wear down our fighting spirit and vigilance, and when the brothers are not willing to ambush any more, they will suddenly come to the truth, then we will suffer a big loss!" ”

"Fiction and reality? This trick is really vicious! Touching the pig-killing knife in his arms, Zhu Yidao really wanted to cut the guy who came up with this lack of morality, "Leader Huang has seen a big scene, I don't know what countermeasures there are?" ”

"If you want to break this move, you can't defend, you can only attack!"

"Attack? How to attack? ”

"Sneak attack, camp robbery!" The weasel pointed down the mountain and said confidently, "The officers and soldiers are busy winning over people's hearts and want to use this method to trap us, so they must be negligent in their precautions, so we will take advantage of this gap to go down the mountain overnight to rob the camp, kill him by surprise, and we will win a complete victory!"

After breaking the official army, we can not only remove the threat, but also get a large amount of food and cloth and other winter materials, so that the brothers can live a good life for a few days. ”

"Unstable hearts?" These words are poking at Zhu Yidao's heart, being a big leader in the bandits relies on a prestige, and the recent several swoops have already made his prestige plummet, if he doesn't win a big battle and cheer up people's hearts, I'm afraid that his seat will be unstable!

"Okay, then steal the camp and rob the village, and kill him without leaving a piece of armor!"

"No! …… I'm going to set it up! The weasel smiled as if he had succeeded in his plan.

Erhu was walking on the way home, every step was in severe pain, usually only an hour of mountain road, he moved for three hours; This time I went up the mountain to report the news and made a mistake again, the big leader was originally going to cut off his head, all relying on his brother Dahu to beg hard, so he saved his life, but the elder brother was scolded, he was beaten fifty whips, in the winter, the cowhide whip was dipped in cold water, and it was a blood stain, almost killing the second tiger!

"Phew! …… Lao Tzu tried hard to report to you, but he beat Lao Tzu and almost lost his life! Spit out a mouthful of bloody ice stubble, Erhu's heart was full of complaints, but anyway, he finally came back alive, and Father Chen, who went to report the news together, couldn't come back, nine times out of ten he was killed and thrown into the mountains to feed the wolves, why bother!

Finally walked to the foot of the mountain, Erhu was surprised to find that the officers and soldiers were planting straw men, digging trenches, and moving frequently, it seemed that this time there was really a big move; Subconsciously, he was about to run back to the mountain to report the news, but as soon as he turned around, he looked at the mountain road that he had walked for three hours, and then looked at the blood marks on his body, Erhu couldn't help but hesitate, "Lose the, it's still your own life, go home and sleep!" ”
