"Childe, what should we do?"

"How much food do we have?" Zhang Daoyuan asked.

"It's only enough to eat for a month."

Zhang Daoyuan frowned a little, and a big man said with a fierce look in his eyes:

"Childe, let's go rob those scattered tribes."

"No way!" Zhang Daoyuan immediately shook his head and said: "If we rob those tribes, we will completely offend the mountain people, this is the territory of the mountain people, and we will not be able to move an inch." Moreover, we are destroying our own foundation, and if we want to start something in the future, we will have no foundation. ”

"Then what should we do, it's going to be winter soon, and without food, we will starve to death."

Zhang Daoyuan thought for a while and said: "Taking advantage of the fact that the officers and soldiers are attacking the Ninth Village now, you go out to hunt some more prey and store it." The officers and men will definitely not besiege for long, and then we can go down the mountain and seize a county town, and all problems will be solved. ”

Night!

The figure of Fortune quietly sneaked into the valley.

The light skill of fortune was really perfect, and he checked it out of the valley clearly, and then quietly withdrew from the valley, and then returned to a large tree five hundred meters away from the valley, hiding among the dense branches and leaves.

“……”

Shi Yun, who was lying on the thick trunk of the tree, suddenly moved his ears, and then sat up silently, looking down through the gaps in the colorful leaves, through the moonlight.

I saw three people shuttling through the jungle like raccoon cats, and soon came to the big tree where Shi Luck was, and one of them lowered his voice:

"Brother Li, here is the secret note of Big Brother Shi."

Shi Yun also knew that Luo Xin would send someone to find him, so he left a secret mark along the way, and the place where he rested was the place where the secret memory was. At this time, he heard the voice of the person below, so he lowered his voice and said:

"Little Liu!"

"Brother Shi!"

Xiao Liu and the three of them immediately heard the voice of fortune, and hurriedly looked up, and saw a figure falling from above, like a dead leaf, without a sound.

"Little Liu, Brother Li, Brother Yuntong."

"Brother Shi."

"Brother Shi Xian!"

The three of them also whispered hello to Fortune.

"Let's go up!"

Shi Yun's body was vertical, and he jumped on the big tree, these three people are also very good Jianghu people, and their bodies are vertical, so they followed closely behind Shi Yun, jumped on the big tree, and the four people sat on the thick branches, and the big brother Li said in a low voice:

"Brother Xian, how is it? You followed here, did you discover Zhang Daoyuan's lair? ”

"Not bad!"

Shi Yun told the three people in detail about his discovery, and then whispered:

"Brother Li and Brother Yuntong will go back immediately to inform the adults, Xiao Liuzi will stay with me, once something happens, I will let Xiao Liuzi go back and inform the adults."

"Okay, then we'll be back at once."

"Well, it's an important matter, tired Brother Li."

The Ninth Village.

There began to be scattered tribal patriarchs, who came here one after another with light equipment, and now Luo Xin is hiding in the mountains with nearly 80,000 troops, because the ninth village is blocked, and the ninth village cannot be found. But with so many officers and soldiers, it was impossible to hide those tribal mountain people, and it was easy for them to find out.

Luo Xin didn't care about letting them find out, anyway, these people couldn't send the news to the ninth village, and Luo Xin firmly believed that even if these people had a way, they wouldn't dare, let alone be unwilling.

To be able to come with a strong man is to say that he has surrendered to the imperial court. And now nearly 100,000 troops, the eighteen villages in more than two months, the seventeen villages, only one cottage remains. As long as you are not a fool, you know that the ninth village is also finished, at this time, which tribe will be stupid enough to go against the imperial court?

Is that a desire to die?

Is that an attempt to exterminate the entire tribe?

And Luo Xin knows that these tribes know that they want to help them get rid of poverty and become rich, teach them wine-making techniques, and take over the sales, these tribes are not fools, even if they are not ten percent sincere in their access, there are seventy percent of them.

So, Luo Xin entertained them very warmly. They were organized into an army, and all the tribes that came were organized into this army, including Hao Datong and their people, and in three days, the mountain people gathered had exceeded 30,000.

Day 4.

Luo Xin selected 1,000 of the most capable people from among the officers and soldiers, and selected 20 people with the best light skills. Gather them together, plus the fifty family members led by Wan Daquan, and let the soldiers stand guard a hundred meters away, not allowing anyone to hear. Then his eyes swept over the officers and soldiers, and he singled out fifty soldiers and said:

"You follow Wan Daquan and obey his command."

"Yes!"

The fifty officers and soldiers immediately came behind Wan Daquan and stood with the fifty family members. At this time, the fifty family members, each carrying two large backpacks, these backpacks from the time they entered the mountain, Luo Xin's hundred family members carried on their backs, and no one knew what they were carrying inside. Later, Lu Daqing left ahead of schedule with fifty family members, so he left the fifty backpacks, and each family member who stayed in this way carried two large backpacks. Wan Daquan looked back at the fifty family members and said:

"Give them a backpack to carry."

"Yes!"

The fifty family members immediately handed a backpack to the people around them, and the officers and soldiers took the backpack in confusion, but they didn't look at it, and honestly carried it on their backs.

Luo Xin looked at the hundred people: "Fifty family members and the new brothers are matched into fifty groups. ”

Those officers and soldiers who were picked out by Luo Xin immediately looked for a family member and formed a group. After Luo Xin saw that they were finished, he continued:

"Remember, now you have fifty groups, and the family of this official is the patriarch of each group, and he will do whatever he tells you to do, understand?"

"Understood!"

In fact, those backpacks were filled with explosives bags made by Luo Xin, and they were carried all the way to solve the Ninth Village. It was not the first time that these fifty officers and soldiers had used gunpowder, so they were familiar with the road, but those officers and soldiers had never been in contact, so those fifty officers and soldiers were actually a porter.

After arranging all this, Luo Xin looked at the twenty Jianghu people again:

"You have no problem climbing up from both sides of the cliff, right?"

"Nope!"

The twenty Jianghu people immediately shook their heads and said, these days they have also been under Luo Xin's order, and they have explored the entire mountain, and the ninth village is built on the cliff to put it bluntly, there are cliffs on both sides, and there are only two ridges in the front and back to walk. Therefore, as long as the two ridges in the front and rear were defended, the officers and men would naturally not be able to attack them.

The cliffs on both sides are almost vertical, and it is impossible to climb up from the cliffs on both sides. So there is no need to defend at all. In particular, the cliffs on both sides are very long, and if they were all defended, there would have been several thousand men.
