Everything was carried out in an orderly manner, as if it had been rehearsed countless times in advance, without the slightest chaos, even those court officers and soldiers that Zhou Dahu had seen were estimated to be unable to do this.

In Zhou Dahu's opinion, to be able to train the pole of such a team, this surnamed Li is definitely not an ordinary person, otherwise, it would not be possible to rise so quickly in this area.

What surprised him even more was that the quality of the equipment of the White Dragon Army was actually no worse than the officers and soldiers who came from Suiyang Guard before.

Among them, the armored men actually accounted for about thirty percent of the strength of the White Dragon Army, and the level of such equipment has exceeded that of the ordinary local guard army.

In this year, due to the layers of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, the imperial court that really used to build soldiers' armor allocated a pitiful amount, and there were hundreds of ordinary guards like Suiyang Guards.

Li Zixiao continued to ask Liu Chong, who had just taken over the scout team, "Before I came back, did the scout detectives you sent hear any news?"

The officers and soldiers of Yongcheng County and the Cai family, have they continued to move towards us? And how can such officers and soldiers help the Cai family?

I remember the last time we went to the county seat to make a big fuss, but the Wang family and the Cai family of the county lord had a lot of conflicts, is it that now they have reconciled, that is not a good thing for us! ”

Li Zixiao is not sure whether the Cai family is just going to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger to test them this time, or whether they plan to attack their village once and for all and completely eliminate them, and he has to formulate different coping strategies for different situations.

"Big boss, I still have to ask Han Tong about this, he was in charge of monitoring the Cai family before, he should know best" Liu Chonggang took over the scout team, and there were a few scouts under him who could be used for the time being.

"Then let Han Tong in."

Soon, Han Tong was called in by Quartz, and when he heard Li Zixiao ask about the Cai family and the group of people in the government, he was also sad and indignant.

He saw the tragic situation of more than 20 brothers in the White Tiger Camp having their heads cut off, and one of them was his little fellow countryman, who was gritting his teeth with hatred at this time.

Han Tong shook his head heavily, gritted his teeth and replied: "No, I didn't meet the county officers and soldiers and the people of the Cai family on the way to Baihu Village this time.

I asked my brothers who were monitoring outside the county, and after they raided our old camp, they had already returned to the county and did not come to our side!

And I also heard from the brothers who were monitoring the outside of the city that this time the Cai family led the team with Cai Xuanguang, the third eldest of the Cai family, personally leading the team, and it is estimated that they didn't know that our large army had gone to attack Linjiabao before.

That's why I didn't dare to come to attack our cottage, but went to Baihu Village, and at the same time I heard that a group of officers and soldiers from the south came to the Yongcheng County Government, and the officers who led the team had a good relationship with the Cai family, so they helped the Cai family.

It was a group of foreign officers and soldiers who helped the Cai family slaughter our White Tiger Village, and those soft-footed officers and soldiers in Yongcheng County generally did not dare to go out of the city to suppress bandits, and most of the bandits were done by local gentry.

I heard that during this time, the Cai family is uniting with some landlords and gentry in the county such as the Liu family, and is preparing to organize a group of villagers to go into the mountains to suppress bandits, which is obviously aimed at us! ”

Li Zixiao nodded and said: "Well, what Brother Han said makes sense, it is very likely that this is the reason, and the information brought to us is also very detailed, if you have any ideas, you will also talk about it." ”

At this time, Qian Guangyuan followed Li Zixiao's words and continued: "Big boss, combined with the information given by Han Tong, there are two good news for us.

One is that the officers and soldiers who participated in the attack on us belonged to those who came to pass by, and the officers and soldiers with the troops had a close relationship with the Cai family, so they came to help the Cai family.

And this time the Yongcheng County Decree did not send people out, which shows that the contradictions between the Cai and Wang families still exist, they have not reconciled, and the pair of officers and soldiers will soon leave Yongcheng County and go south.

This second, the reason why the Cai family chose the White Tiger Village to attack this time is that it is estimated that they are not ready to attack our White Snake Village, and Ye didn't know that we had come out to fight Lin Jiabao before.

After all, Lin Jiabao is located in a remote area, and it is impossible for the Cai family to get the news so quickly, so the Cai family's first round of retaliation will pick our weakest White Tiger Village.

Since the big boss is determined to take revenge on the Cai family immediately, I think the most important thing to be wary of is this kind of foreign officers and soldiers, this is an uncertain force, and we don't know anything about him.

Therefore, we must first find out how many officers and soldiers are there in this army that passes through Yongcheng County on the way south? How long will you stay in Yongcheng County? How much strength can be supported by the Cai family and so on.

In short, the clearer the situation of this foreign army of officers and soldiers, the better, so as to facilitate our next plan of action to retaliate against the Cai family. ”

After everyone heard Qian Guangyuan's analysis, including Li Zixiao's core members of the cottage, they all nodded, admitting that Qian Guangyuan was indeed quite reasonable.

These foreign officers and soldiers are indeed an uncertain factor, since they are close to the Cai family and participated in the slaughter of their White Tiger Village, they are their enemies.

After Li Zixiao pondered for a while, he said: "Mr. Wenrun said very reasonably, 'plan and then act'.

Now let's not rush to act, the Cai family can't run away there, let's deal with this situation of foreign officers and soldiers first, it's right to be careful. ”

He raised his head and instructed a few people under him: "You guys step up the training of your subordinates, the ones we brought back this time, plus the homeless people recruited by Zhang Ergouzi from outside, there are more than 100 people who have come to the cottage newly."

You have to train this group of recruits for Lao Tzu as soon as possible, and be ready to pull them out to fight at any time, and you don't drop the chain for Lao Tzu when the time comes.

In addition, Liu Chong trained the scout team as soon as possible, sent all the current scouts out, and closely monitored every move in Yongcheng County.

Later, you will have someone send a message to Zhang Ergouzi, and find out the details of this group of foreign officers and soldiers to Lao Tzu, if possible, hum, Lao Tzu will use this group of officers and soldiers to pay tribute to the more than 20 brothers we were killed.

Let's all go down and prepare, let the brothers bear with it first, and when the situation is clear, I will take you to settle accounts with the Cai family. ”

Everyone nodded in agreement with Li Zixiao's arrangement, and then got up and went down to get busy.

And just when Li Zixiao and his subordinates were discussing what to do next, the Cai family's compound in Yongcheng County was now a different lively scene.

In the Cai family's compound, the Cai family held dozens of tables of banquets in a row, and two or three hundred people wearing the costumes of officers and soldiers and the clothes of the Cai family were gathering together, munching and drinking.

Cai Tianyuan, the head of the Li family, even came out to toast everyone once, and now he is sitting on the main seat drinking with an officer wearing an official mansion, and the two sides chatted happily and laughed and seemed very happy.

"Nephew Zhao Xian, tell the brothers, let them eat meat and drink wine, and they will be full of wine and meat today." Cai Tianyuan sat next to the young officer and said to him with a laugh.

"Uncle Cai, you are too polite, it's just a gesture, Brother Jing Heng and I (Cai Xuanguang) are also old acquaintances, and besides, it is the responsibility of our officers and soldiers to exterminate the mountain bandits.

The current Yongcheng County Master is too disagreeable, and he actually connived at the mountain bandits to become so big, and when I return to the capital, I will definitely find a way to react to my boss.

When the time comes, he will be in front of His Majesty, and his county order will come to an end, I think Uncle Cai is a decent person, and he loves the township, and is even willing to fight against the mountain bandits, love the country and the people, you are the best candidate for the county order! ”

This officer surnamed Zhao was obviously complimenting Cai Tianyuan, Cai Tianyuan had lived for dozens of years, of course he understood, but he was still very happy.

As for what the officer surnamed Zhao said, why go back and report to the boss, ask the saint to participate in the Yongcheng county order, depose him, and let himself do this county order, directly go in the left ear and out the right ear, and pass with a smile.

Jokes, now the whole country of Daming has become a pot of porridge, internal and external troubles are frequent, natural disasters are rampant, Emperor Chongzhen's busy hair is gray, where is the time and energy to depose you in a small county and county order!

However, of course, Cai Tianyuan would not peel the face of this officer surnamed Zhao in person, and they did their Cai family a great favor this time.

At least it made him breathe a bad breath, some time ago, Li Zixiao led people to make trouble in the county at night and robbed him of thousands of taels of silver from his Cai family's store, which made the roots of his hatred itch, and he kept thinking about revenge in his dreams.

Before that, he handed over the matter of exterminating Li Zixiao, a bandit, to his third son, and the Cai family also contacted the officers and soldiers of the Suiyang Guard.

The Cai family made a lot of efforts, made a lot of promises, and spent a lot of money to get the officers and soldiers of the Suiyang Guard Station to agree that they would come to help them after winter and exterminate Li Zixiao's bandits.

If Li Zixiao's bandits are not exterminated, then who will still be afraid of their Cai family in the future, and the majesty of their Cai family in this area of Yongcheng County will plummet, which the Cai family will never allow to see.

Originally, they had been preparing, just waiting for the officers and soldiers of Suiyang Wei to come after this winter, and then help them exterminate Li Zixiao's bandits.

When the time comes, let's see who dares to touch the tiger whiskers of his Cai family, and the majesty of his Cai family in this area of Yongcheng County will never allow provocation.

However, such a group of officers and soldiers who suddenly came from Kaifeng Mansion a few days ago were still Cai Xuanguang's old acquaintances in the past, which immediately made Cai Xuanguang come up with such an idea of attacking Li Zixiao's camp.

However, Cai Xuanguang knew that his old acquaintance Zhao Jie had brought more than 100 soldiers this time, and it was impossible to attack Li Zixiao's old nest, White Snake Village, but he set his eyes on another Li Zixiao's cottage, that is, White Tiger Village.

Cai Xuanguang also sent someone to find out two days ago that after Li Zixiao's gang of bandits defeated Scarface's bandits, they actually sent people to occupy Scarface's original cottage.

This surprised Cai Xuanguang, the bandits of Scarface have been rampant in several counties north of Yongcheng County, and for a few years, they are notoriously difficult, and I heard that the government has also paid him off for this, but they have all failed.

But now it is folded in Li Zixiao's hands, doesn't that mean that the strength of Li Zixiao's mountain bandits is already very strong, which is not a good thing for the Cai family.

As a result, Cai Xuanguang gave birth to the idea that before the officers and soldiers of the Suiyang Guard Station arrived, he wanted to pull out Li Zixiao's new cottage.

Otherwise, when the officers and soldiers of the Suiyang Guard Station came and attacked Li Zixiao, this guy would have another cottage, and when the time came, it would be even more difficult to eliminate him.

So, he wanted to persuade Zhao Jie to help him lay down this new stronghold of Li Zixiao.

However, when Cai Xuanguang persuaded his old acquaintance to help him attack a mountain bandit, at first Zhao Jie heard that he was going to attack a mountain bandit den with two or three hundred entrenched positions, and immediately refused.

Just kidding, how can the cottage where two or three hundred bandits are entrenched be so easy to fight, if it is easy to fight, the Cai family would have gone to fight a long time ago, and there are a total of more than 100 officers and soldiers under him.

They still have a mission to go south this time, and there must be no mistakes, but soon Cai Xuanguang told him that the number of bandit cottages that went to attack this time was not large.

And Cai Xuanguang secretly gave Zhao Jie a silver ticket of one hundred taels, and immediately Zhao Jie readily agreed, so there was a chance that they attacked Baihu Village.

However, when they defeated the White Tiger Village, what Cai Xuanguang didn't expect was that there were only twenty-six bandits in the White Tiger Village, but they made them pay the price of more than 30 casualties.

He hadn't figured out how many bandits there were in the White Tiger Village before, but he sent someone to find out that a few days ago, he sent someone from Li Zixiao's White Snake Village to arrive at the White Tiger Village with a batch of grain and grass, about a few hundred stones.

In this way, Cai Xuanguang guessed that there were only 100 people in Baihu Village at most, so he brought more than 100 family members, plus more than 100 officers and soldiers of Zhao Jie to attack.

If he can eliminate a hundred of Li Zixiao's men at one time, it will be a great weakening of his strength, and when this winter is over, the officers and soldiers of the Suiyang Guard Station will arrive, which will be enough to easily destroy them.

But in the end, the results of only twenty-six bandits made Cai Xuanguang very dissatisfied, but he was not satisfied, so he had to order all the heads of these twenty or so people to be cut off and hung on the treetops, deliberately showing them to Li Zixiao's people.

Then another fire burned down the White Tiger Village, and then walked away, but Cai Xuanguang should be glad that there are only twenty-six people in the White Tiger Village, if there are really a hundred people, it is estimated that they will not be able to beat the White Tiger Village this time!

This is a victory, allowing the Cai family to regain the face of the robbery of the shop before.

So, as soon as he returned to the county seat, Cai Tianyuan immediately took out wine, meat and dishes to reward these officers and soldiers and his escorts.

Let them have a good meal, reward Zhao Jie's officers and soldiers, and at the same time win over his guards, so that they can continue to serve his Li family in the future.

Zhao Jie's group of officers and soldiers could not stay long in Yongcheng County, and they left the day after tomorrow.

It's a pity that Cai Xuanguang still miscalculated, the Cai family had just rewarded Zhao Jie's officers and soldiers and guards, and soon he heard a subordinate who came back from outside and told him something, which immediately surprised Cai Xuanguang again.

"What? The one surnamed Li actually laid down Lin Jiabao? How is this possible? There are at least dozens of villagers in the Linjia Fort, plus the tenants, and the fort is high enough and strong.

How could it be easily broken by the person surnamed Li? Cai Xuanguang almost couldn't believe his ears.

"Big brother, this matter shouldn't be fake, I heard about it from a group of outcasts, originally from a group of poles under the one-eyed dragon.

This incident is also a coincidence, when the surnamed Li took people to fight Linjiabao this time, he happened to run into the pole of the one-eyed dragon, and he also went to fight Linjiabao.

As a result, these two groups of poles first partnered together to attack Linjiabao, but then the two sides actually fought among themselves, and the surnamed Li killed the one-eyed dragon, and the subordinates who were wrapped in the one-eyed dragon broke through Linjiabao!

At present, the man surnamed Li has broken through the Lin family fort and seized a large amount of money and grain, and his subordinates have surged to three or four hundred. ”…………
