As soon as he heard that the Zhao family was indeed colluding with the bandits, Lu Peng was also relieved, so he sighed slightly: "Take the thief and take the stolen goods, then I can first use the black mountain thief to break through his cottage, and search carefully, there will definitely be evidence, in this way, I will destroy the Zhao family, see what else do people in the world say?" ”

This is really a double win, you can not only get evidence, but also do some serious things, Taishou Liu Yan is so positive to Lu Peng, it is really a great relief, he stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Han Qiang is really a countryman, so dedicated to the country, this official will definitely write it down." ”

Zou Jing confirmed that Lu Peng was reckless, but he was acting with enthusiasm, so he cautiously reminded: "The Zhao family has been a big family for hundreds of years, and there are no less than 3,000 slave clans in the family, and besides, over the years, the active equipment can also be regarded as a soldier with enough food, not easy to fight, not to mention that the black mountain thief has been a cottage for decades, among which the village advocates that the horns are even more brave and good at fighting, and joining the yellow turban is even more experienced in battle. Han Qiang should be cautious. ”

Lu Peng sneered at such an argument in his heart, a thief will always be a thief, and it is impossible to compare with the official army, it is not that your official army is too bad, or the official army does not want to exterminate him at all, his 4,000 army must be easy to win wherever he goes.

But if you think so, you can't say this in your heart, if you really say so, it will be a great offense to the Shangguan, so he hurriedly saluted Zou Jing with a respectful expression: "The lesson of the captain is that the last general must be carefully arranged, strive for success in the first battle, and repay the two adults for their love for the last general." ”

Regarding Zou Jing's way of discouragement, Taishou Liu Yan couldn't help but feel unhappy, glanced at Zou Jing, and continued to encourage, this young man said: "War must be risky, but with Han Qiang's ability, there should be no big problem in dealing with that bandit and grass coward, and as for dealing with the Zhao family, this Taishou will fully cooperate." ”

Then he turned his head to Zou Jing: "Lord Captain, you have been dealing with the Black Mountain thief for many years, you must have accurate information about him, you might as well hand over the materials you have to Han Qiang and let him handle it as appropriate, how about it?" ”

Look at the anxious Taishou, and then look at Lu Peng who is anxious to perform, Zou Jing can only say nothing anymore, and after a few words of advice, he ordered someone to find out the information of the black mountain thieves over the years from his secret file, and solemnly handed it to Lu Peng: "Always be arrogant and less stable, don't do anything recklessly, you are also an official now, representing not the township Yong but the official army, the defeat of the township Yong will be defeated, but the defeat of the official army will damage the prestige of the imperial court, be cautious, be cautious, be cautious." ”

is so chattering, he doesn't look like a general at all, but like an elder of a mother-in-law and mother, he is not at ease with his children and nephews.

After such babbling over and over again, Zou Jing let Lu Peng go back to the camp.

Walking out of Zou Jing's mansion and looking back at the past, Lu Peng's heart was full of warmth for Zou Jing's excessive chatter, and it seemed that in this world, he once again felt the existence of his parents in the previous life, and the feeling of listening to it and feeling warm in his heart rose leisurely again.

"For the sake of your love for me, I will do a good job and never let you break my legs."

Back to the barracks, Lu Peng immediately convened an enlarged meeting, time is not waiting, Liu Yan's days in Youzhou are not far away, he must be in Youzhou when he is in Youzhou, when he is anxious, take out the results, and lay the foundation for himself to take another step, for the current position of the lieutenant of other departments, Lu Peng also feels small, because, Liu Bei later after Liu Yu mastered Youzhou Mu, with his original military merits, the identity of the royal family, this is what he should be, when the time comes, he can't be his little brother no matter what, he must take care of him Liu Bei.

Inspired by the emotions of such comparisons, Lu Peng is now as energetic as fighting chicken blood, if it weren't for Zou Jing being good to himself in his heart, he can't say it, Lu Peng has the ambition to win the captain of Youzhou, although the captain was rotten later, but now the gold content is still quite high.

"As the saying goes, how bold people are, how productive the earth is, then our courage will be bigger and bigger, until it reaches the sky." Sitting at the top, Lu Peng kept knocking on the table, constantly cheering up his subordinate brothers, and constantly cheering himself up.

For Lu Peng, who is now obviously hot in his head, Xu Jie gave a basin of cold water at that time: "I can understand the mood of the lord who is anxious to perform, but I am not worried when I see the materials of the Black Mountain Thief given by the captain." Xu Jie said to Lu Peng with a frown while flipping through the information given by Zou Jing.

Now the soldiers in the battalion are all called General Lu Pengwei, but this Xu Jie can't change his words, which is also to show his loyalty to Lu Peng's cause.

"What the hell does the intelligence say?" Being poured cold water on his first ability, although Lu Peng felt a kind of unhappiness in his heart, he still asked modestly.

Xu Jie pointed to the thick stack of information and reported to Lu Peng succinctly: "This is the information of the Black Mountain thieves that the Captain has taken for nearly ten years, which can be described as extremely detailed. ”

Xu Jie took out a bamboo slip in a stack of information, pointed to the data on it and said to Xu Jie: "For example, in October of this year, the captain also sent a special work to explore the military strength of the Black Mountain thieves in detail, and the statistics are that the original Black Mountain thieves, all the people and horses had 11,000, and then Zhang Niujiao participated in the Yellow Turban failed, returned to the cottage, and brought back a batch of Yellow Turban remnants, and now there are discounts to reach 15,000 people, of which one-third of the thieves are equipped, at the same time, They also have a large number of bows and arrows under the secret support of the family, so that the combat effectiveness can be described as quite strong, it is not at all the official army can be encircled and suppressed, if in terms of numbers, we only have only 4000 people, although the weapons are excellent, the configuration is complete, but after all, they do not have an advantage in numbers, not to mention, the Black Mountain thieves occupy a dangerous geographical location, there is only a narrow path leading to the top of the mountain in front of the cottage, even if we have tens of thousands of troops, it cannot be fully expanded, so, The Black Mountain thief can stand tall for more than ten years. ”

"Fifteen thousand? Good guys, that's too much. Lu Peng thinks that a group of bandits is just a group of rabble, it would be good to have one or two thousand people, occupying a geographical advantage, the official army is in the bag, and the family is behind the back, so it can survive, his own 4,000 elite soldiers, and the whole extermination of them, there should be no big problem, but when he heard that it was 15,000 people, he couldn't help but feel numb at that time, pinching his chin and thinking, it seemed that he was too optimistic.

Lu Peng knocked on the table and said as a matter of course: "Let's go to a sneak attack, we use the method of feints in front and sneak attack in the back to directly cut off his nest." ”

Xu Jie shook his head again and took out a map given by Xiao Wei, that is, the topographic map of the cottage where the Black Mountain Thieves are now, although the drawing is quite poor, there is not even a contour line, but from the entire map, the terrain of the cottage where the Black Mountain Thieves are entrenched is quite dangerous, the game is behind the Black Mountain Village, marked with cliffs, and it is difficult for birds to cross, so that Li Peng really starts, and his brows are furrowed.

In the Black Mountain Thief Cottage, there are many thieves, the equipment is quite advanced, the mountain road in front is narrow, the army is not suitable to be deployed, the cliffs behind, the birds are difficult to pass, this is almost an iron wall, there is no hope of attacking at all.

So Lu Peng went from great excitement to great frustration.

pinched his chin and began to think carefully, whether he was really too Meng Lang and too eager for success.

So, at this time, Lu Peng wanted to retreat a little, thinking about the disagreeing expression of the captain who always wanted to break his legs, it seemed that there was still room for this matter to turn around, so he thought, if it didn't work for a while, he would go to meet the captain Zou Jing, say what he thought, and then see if there was any other way, at least, don't attack the Black Mountain thieves first and take down the Zhao family first.
