It's the third day of entering the mountain. After sweeping on Yanshan Mountain, Liu Xingwen was happy and anxious, happy that those bandits who died actually fled with so much food, so the speed of action was naturally not fast, and the anxious thing was that his army was also worried about food. Five thousand people, each person is counted as two catties of grain a day, and it is 10,000 catties a day, and in three days, 30,000 catties of grain have all fallen into the stomach, what is the situation in Fengxian Liu Xingwen naturally knows it, and expects Ge Qingsheng to completely solve the food problem of the army, that is simply counting on the sow to go up the tree, and he can raise a few days of food for himself, and he can be regarded as a capable official. Counting on the logistics of Shayang County? Not to mention the transportation problem, the old and dizzy bureaucrats in the county government alone are enough to starve their army.

What is the only hope? That is, in the shortest possible time, to kill this bandit, end this fight between elephants and mosquitoes before the grain and grass carried by his army are exhausted, and then rely on the food that Ge Qingsheng got to return to Shayang County as soon as possible.

This crackdown on bandits, in Liu Xingwen's view, is a battle between elephants and mosquitoes, bandits of more than 100 people, actually want to use an army of thousands of people, it is really ridiculous to say, but the pressure from the imperial court and the Qi people makes Shayang County unbearable, the county guard is not familiar with the military, and he will let himself be dispatched after an order, without considering the corresponding logistical pressure to be borne by such a large-scale military operation.

As long as the county keeper ensures that he is politically correct, he will suffer from people like himself.

Every day passes, Liu Xingwen's heart is more tormented. Three days later, he was already in a hurry, and rows of bubbles were burning on his mouth.

And on the third day, the good news finally came, the captain of the original Zhaoguan scout battalion that he reused finally found the correct escape route of these bandits, which made him happy and couldn't help but be extremely annoyed with his original scouts, the two gangs of people, brought back two escape routes, and one by one they were convinced that the enemy was in front of them, but now, on the route they detected, the enemy's traces had already disappeared without a trace, and they could no longer find the slightest trace, on the contrary, on the opposite of these lines found by Chao, More and more signs show that the opponent is right in front of them.

Today, the bandits had no time to disguise their whereabouts, and the messy horseshoe prints, messy footprints, and scattered grains in the snow all showed that he was very close to his opponent.

"General Liu, these bandits are not more than a hundred people, but close to or even more than three hundred." Yu Chao stood in front of Liu Xingwen and said, "In addition to Zou Ming and his group, Wang Hou also brought more than 100 young people up the mountain to join the gang, which is also the fundamental reason why they can escape with these grains relatively easily. ”

"It doesn't make a difference whether it's a hundred or three hundred." Liu Xingwen finally felt relieved and shrunk his neck, this damn bandit made him have to take the army to wander around the mountains with his army in this season when the water turned into ice, this was originally a pleasant season to enjoy the snow and drink alcohol, and watch the beauty dance in the snow while drunk!

"Yu Chao, have you ever detected the traces of that ninth-level master?" Compared with the larger number of bandits, Liu Xingwen was more concerned about this, because if a ninth-level master posed a mortal threat to him, he didn't want to win a big victory against the bandits, but he would die.

Yu Chao laughed wryly, "General, at the level of a ninth-level master, how can a villain touch it, I really found him, I'm afraid that the life of the last general will not be guaranteed!" ”

Liu Xingwen smiled, "You're right, but since you have found their traces, that master didn't find you, maybe this person has already left, yes, how could a character like this be influenced by Zou Ming, it's just that he occasionally rises up to help him." ”

"The general, or so many of our troops, scares him." Yu Chao said with a smile: "No matter how powerful the ninth-level master is, it can't be the opponent of the army, right?" ”

"Anyway, in front of the assembled army, let alone a ninth-level master, even a grandmaster, he can't be an enemy! The army fights, but it is not a one-man battle. Yu Chao, I still have to work hard for you, continue to explore their traces, the two thousand people sent out are on the way, and when you determine their location, we can surround them with a drum and gather and annihilate them. ”

"This is the duty of the last general, why work hard!" Yu Chao smiled and saluted, turned to leave.

Liu Xingwen was woken up in a sweet dream, and he sent troops in a hurry, and he didn't bring all the things he should have bringed, and when he entered the mountain, the battle that he thought would be resolved in a day or two had dragged on until the fourth day, and the soldiers didn't even have tents to shelter from the wind, so they could only sleep in the wilderness and rely on piles of bonfires to keep warm. Even the main general, Liu Xingwen, just built a few more fires around him, and surrounded him with some soldiers to block the wind. On a snowy day, even in the mountains, it is not easy to chop some firewood that is easy to burn.

When Liu Xingwen, who was drinking by Qiu Yongmei in a dream, was woken up, his face was angry, but when he saw Yu Chao, who was half-kneeling in front of him, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were still icy, he was embarrassed to attack, after all, there are really not many people under his subordinates who work like this. Look at the soldiers around me who were supposed to be patrolling, but now they can't see any of them, and they don't know how to go to that sheltered place to be lazy.

"General, they've found their foothold." Yu Chao's face was full of excitement, "Now is a good time to send troops." ”

"Troops now?" Hearing this, Liu Xingwen was completely sleepy, "Where are they now?" ”

"General, this is really a great event, Zou Ming's gang of bandits and Wang Hou don't know anything about the military at all, in order to avoid the wind and snow, they actually hid in the valley less than ten miles away from here, this is a Jedi, there are steep cliffs on three sides, and now the winter is covered with ice and snow, not to mention people, even roe deer monkeys don't want to walk freely on it, we just need to get to where before they leave, put the valley mouth in one, and then the army rushes in, and the rest is just to tie people up with ropes." Yu Chao laughed loudly, with a look of sarcasm. "Although the valley is secret, it is nothing in front of me, and I am afraid they don't know that I have always been behind them! It is ridiculous that they forged the traces of their escape to another road before entering the valley, and erased all traces of their entry into the valley, but when they were doing this, they never imagined that I was admiring their masterpiece on a hill. ”

Picking up a half-burned firewood from the ground, Yu Chao drew the terrain of the valley on the ground, and Liu Xingwen was also overjoyed. The course of a few days of suffering is finally coming to an end.

"Great! That's great! Liu Xingwen rubbed his hands, "If you win this battle, you will be the first to work, and when the time comes, I will give you a book and ask for a reward." ”

"Please don't dare, I just ask the general to erase the matter of me as a deserter at that time, but I know that General Pan Hong is worried about this matter!"

"Don't worry, this matter is done, the people of Qi are happy, and the court will naturally rest assured, don't look at Pan Hong is now promoted to general, but that is just a move by the court to stabilize the morale of the army, this guy is Luo Yishui's deputy general, how can Zhang Xiang really rest assured of him, once the situation is stable, the best result for this guy is to step down gloomily, what can you do?" Liu Xingwen said disappreciatively.

"Thank you, General Liu." Yu Chao bent down deeply.

"Follow me well, I won't let you suffer, I really lack a capable guy like you under my command, hahaha!" Liu Xingwen laughed and looked at Yu Chao with appreciation, as the commander of the county soldiers, of course he knew that if he wanted to live comfortably, it was really not good to have a few capable guys under him. The balance between these needs to be well managed. Yu Chao is a capable person, and he has a sturdy handle in his hands, which is just for his own use!

With Liu Xingwen's order, the camp suddenly became busy, the soldiers' complaints, the commander's shouting, mixed with the neighing of mules and horses, the quiet mountain immediately became lively, torches were lit, and the sleepy-eyed soldiers rushed towards the valley in the commander's shouting and scolding and flying leather whips.

5,000 people fighting 2 or 300 people, such a battle really makes everyone unable to lift their spirits, what is there to guard against? One person can drown those people with a mouthful of spit, or when the time comes, the army will be escorted over, and with a roar, the bandits on the opposite side will have to obediently kneel and surrender.

The enemy made them not interested, but the increasingly heavy wind and snow made the soldiers even more annoyed, hurry up and finish this, and return to the warm barracks of Shayang County, there are still many people in the county who have houses, land, and mothers-in-law outside the county town, and they are even more eager to go home as soon as possible after completing the task.

Although the wind and snow are heavy, the speed is extremely fast. The soldiers of Shayang County quickly approached the destination, and the speed of their progress made Liu Xingwen quite surprised.

Outside the valley, Qin Feng looked at several generals around him: "Liu Xingwen is a scumbag, that is also the commander of a county, and when the time comes, he will definitely stay outside the valley, kitten, these people will be handed over to you." Destroy them! ”

"Don't worry, boss!" The kitten laughed, "A bunch of wine bags and rice bags, it's easy to pack up." ”

"Or I'm playing as a striker!" The wild dog limped out with a knife.

"Are you okay?" Kitten asked suspiciously.

The wild dog was furious, "If it doesn't work, you chop off my head, when will the people of our death camp dare to be in the battle!" (To be continued.) )
