71Dog meat cannot be eaten at a feast

(Xiaoyun's new book, I hope you will support a lot, please recommend and collect, thank you!) ）

Li Zixiao took Liu Chong and Qian Guangyuan, and led a group of fifty cottage soldiers to leave this abandoned Zhuangzi and go straight to the west, their target was Liu Dabao's lair, the cottage west of Mangdang Mountain.

Liu Dabao's cottage is fifty or sixty miles away from here, and with the speed of Li Zixiao's rapid march, they can get there at about four or five o'clock in the afternoon.

At that time, it will not be long before it gets dark, just so that Li Zixiao and them can rest, and then when it gets dark, it will be easier for them to get into the enemy's cottage at night.

According to Qian Guangyuan's introduction to Li Zixiao on the way about the situation of Liu Dabao's cottage at this time, when Liu Dabao left the cottage, he left about 100 people in the old nest, led by his younger brother Liu Erbao, and left several cronies to assist.

The bandits who stayed in the cottage, except for Liu Dabao's diehard cronies, who were relatively strong, the others were a group of old, weak, sick and disabled, and they didn't have much combat effectiveness at all, otherwise they wouldn't have been left to guard their homes.

"Let's work hard, try to get there before dark, and then we can repair for a while, and then we can touch each other's stockades tonight."

Li Zixiao cheered up his subordinates and shouted.

Li Zixiao led this team of people and horses to run on the road in two neat queues, and the speed was unhurried, which was a great test of the endurance of his subordinates.

However, when Li Zixiao trained this group of subordinates in the cottage before, it was necessary to carry five kilometers of cross-country with a load every day, so the training effect at this time was obvious, no one was left behind, and the two teams went west like the wind.

This is a pity for Qian Guangyuan, who had just joined the service, his body was out of breath after just running three or four miles, and in the end, Li Zixiao asked Quartz to ride the war horse for him, so as not to let him fall behind.

Qian Guangyuan looked at Li Zixiao and his group of subordinates, walking like flying, neatly lined up, he couldn't help but feel admiration when he was riding on a horse, he couldn't help but feel admired, he couldn't believe that it was true to be able to maintain a forced march at a speed.

You must know that at a distance of fifty or sixty miles, Liu Dabao's group of bandits walked for a whole day, but now Li Zixiao obviously plans to complete it in two or three hours, and the contrast is too great.

Speed is time, time is life in wartime, and it represents victory! Judging from the fact that Li Zixiao's men forcibly marched at such a speed, and no one was left behind, it was enough to win most of the officials and troops of the Ming Dynasty at this time.

Soon, Li Zixiao forcibly marched all the way for more than 50 miles, and finally marched to a mountain col less than two miles away from Liu Dabao's cottage before evening as planned.

But he took Quartz, Liu Chong and Qian Guangyuan and quietly came to a hill where Liu Dabao's cottage could be seen, and looked at Liu Dabao's old nest.

Gradually, the sky darkened, and the winter night had come relatively early, at this time the sky had darkened, and torches were obviously lit everywhere in Liu Dabao's cottage, and it could even be clearly seen that the walls of the village were full of bandits with weapons in hand, all of them were like facing the enemy.

"It is estimated that some of the bandits who escaped from Zhuangzi before have fled back to Liu Dabao's lair, Liu Erbao in the village obviously already knows the news that his eldest brother was defeated by us, the defense of the cottage is very strict, there are torches everywhere, and the lights are bright!

The enemy has already taken precautions, and it is very unlikely that we will want to storm the cottage, even if the other party is a group of old, weak, sick and disabled.

But fortunately, Liu Chong dug out the secret of a secret passage into the cottage from Liu Dabao's mouth, and in this way, everything was solved. ”

Seeing the well-guarded appearance of Liu Dabao in the cottage at this time, Li Zixiao said with a smile to Liu Chong and Qian Guangyuan next to him.

"I can imagine now that when Liu Erbao in the cottage was guarding the village tightly, for fear that we would kill it, but we suddenly killed from behind them, I don't know what his expression will be at that time."

Liu Zhong said with a smile.

"Haha, if Liu Erbao dies, after meeting his dead ghost brother in the Netherworld, he will definitely complain about why his dead ghost brother left a secret passage in the cottage, but he didn't tell him about this younger brother, and finally let the enemy know, so that he also became a dead ghost in vain."

Qian Guangyuan on the side responded.

It turned out that Liu Chong not only dug up the number of jewels hidden in his cottage from Liu Dabao's mouth, but also learned that Liu Dabao had a top-secret passage that secretly led into his cottage, and the passage led to the cave where he was, and no one knew.

This was originally Liu Dabao's last retreat for himself, if he encountered such a tragic situation as the officers and soldiers attacking the village, in the end, he could still lead people to escape from this secret passage in the cottage with treasures.

Liu Dabao, as an old qualified bandit, of course understands the truth of the three holes of the cunning rabbit, but he cherishes his life very much, how can he not leave a way back for himself.

It's just that he never expected that he would end up planting on a peer pole that he had never looked at before, which really fulfills the old saying: catch an eagle all day long but be pecked by an eagle.

And Li Zixiao was precisely because Liu Chong secretly reported to Li Zixiao about this secret passage before, so that Li Zixiao was so sure that he could break through the cottage left by Liu Erbao.

Otherwise, Li Zixiao really has to plan carefully, after all, Liu Dabao's cottage is much more complete than his old nest cottage, and the wall of the two of them will be the biggest trouble for them to attack.

Even if Liu Erbao's subordinates who stayed inside at this time were at most a group of old, weak, sick and disabled, and perhaps the remnants of the defeated soldiers who had been brought back before, if they blindly couldn't defend it, Li Zixiao, who lacked siege equipment, would really not be able to attack, and there would be a lot of casualties.

But now everything is easy, Li Zixiao is now waiting for dark, and then he asks the cottage soldiers to finish their dinner, and then quietly find the entrance to the secret passage.

Sneaking into the cottage at midnight, Liu Erbao will definitely be caught off guard, and this cottage will definitely be at your fingertips at that time, and now thinking about Li Zixiao is excited.

Soon, Li Zixiao came back with Liu Zhong and others, and then asked the soldiers to eat in this mountain col where they could shelter from the wind, and then go to sleep, quietly waiting for the approach of late night.

Time passed little by little, and at this time, in Liu Dabao's cottage, Liu Erbao had indeed learned the news that his eldest brother was defeated and captured by the enemy from the mouths of a small number of hardcore bandits who had escaped.

This made Liu Erbao panic at first, after all, he was attached to Liu Dabao's subordinates before, and now Liu Dabao was captured by the enemy, and he might even be killed, and the big tree he was attached to fell down.

But soon, Liu Erbao woke up from the panic, and after thinking about it carefully, he found that this seemed to be his chance, his eldest brother died, so wouldn't this cottage become his boss!

No one wants to be a little brother to others all the time, Liu Erbao also hopes that one day he can be his own boss, now this opportunity has come, as long as he guards the cottage and waits for his eldest brother to die, he will naturally become the new boss.

And when Liu Erbao had the courage to break into the exclusive cave that only Liu Dabao could enter, he saw the gold, silver and jewelry piled up inside, which made his eyes shine, he had never seen so much money when he was so big!

'My, it's all mine. Immediately, Liu Erbao got up and was greedy, it was really too dazzling for these white flowers and silver, and no one could resist such a temptation!

Therefore, Liu Erbao didn't think about saving Liu Dabao at all, jokes, even such a powerful character as his eldest brother lost, did he dare to go? At this time, Liu Erbao hoped that the pole would not come to hit his copycat idea.

Just in case, Liu Erbao began to strengthen the defense of his own cottage, what kind of goods are these bandits under his command, Liu Erbao is clear, and the current defense of the cottage is almost dispensable.

In the past, Liu Erbao was working under his eldest brother, and he turned a blind eye, but now that he is in charge, in order to keep his position as the boss, of course, he must first guard the cottage.

In order to mobilize the enthusiasm of this group of bandits in the cottage, Liu Erbao specially took out the grain stored in the cottage tonight and made a hearty dinner, so that everyone was full, and promised that he would let everyone eat in the future, but in advance they should be able to hold the village.

This suddenly made Liu Erbao supported by many bandits, and even made them forget Liu Dabao and accept Liu Erbao as the new boss, because he can make these bandits full, and whoever can make these bandits full, they will follow whomever they want, this is the simplest principle of these bandits.

After having this sumptuous dinner, Liu Erbao arranged a night vigil to be much easier, and he lit several more torches to make the view around the cottage clear, and he could see anything close to the cottage.

However, even when Liu Erbao waited left and right until late at night, he did not find any signs of the enemy approaching their cottage, which made him very puzzled.

"Could it be that after defeating the eldest brother, that pole didn't plan to come over and sneak attack and occupy our cottage?" Liu Erbao thought in his heart.

"Or, that pole knows that its strength is not enough to capture our stockade, so it gives up, it must be so, yes, it should be so."

Liu Erbao suddenly 'figured it out' like this, feeling that he was right, the enemy might not appear tonight, and then look at himself yawning more than a dozen times in a row, the upper and lower eyelids had already started to fight, and he was sleepy.

When he was working under Liu Dabao before, when he took care of these things, he went to sleep at night, and he stayed up all night, and he couldn't stand it at this time.

Anyway, he also figured it out, since the enemy is not coming, why is he still stupidly guarding here, go back to sleep.

So, Liu Erbao yawned, waved his hand at the subordinates on the wall and said, "You continue to guard, someone will replace you later." ”

He ran down first, and wanted to enter the original Liu Dabao's exclusive boss cave to sleep.

As everyone knows, just when he went back to sleep, a team was smearing through a secret passage and had sneaked into his cottage, and the entrance was in his new house, Liu Erbao was lying on the sleeper where Liu Dabao had slept before, snoring loudly, and fell asleep.

If Li Zixiao was here, he would definitely sigh: It's really dog meat that can't be feasted! I want to fight with myself with such a good thing, it's not that I'm too powerful, I just blame this opponent for being too piggy!
