Since this side is empty, there is no need to delay here, there is a village thirty miles north of this eagle's beak cliff, there was originally a hidden field Zhuangzi of a local tyrant in Mengyin, and later it was occupied by outlaw thieves from all over there, and it was over there to recruit exiles, the scale of more than 200 people, and there is the support of the local tyrants and gentry behind it, and it is also very famous in the local area, in the confession of the Shu family, this so-called high-rise village force also participated in the siege of Xuzhou Grange.

Although it is in the mountainous area, the thirty-mile road is on the flat land of the mountain river beach, which is not very difficult, and the team led by Zhao Jin set off after resting for half an hour.

What people didn't expect was that this Zhuangzi was also empty, although the door was closed, it looked like it was closed, but there was no one inside, and there were more than a dozen corpses of meat tickets, and after examining the wounds, it was found that it was about a day and a half ago that they had killed people, and after careful searching, they still found more than 20 live mouths, but they were all locked in the cellar, and they had been ruined by the women who did not look like people, and they only knew that no one had sent food and water for a day.

The grain in the stockade is still there, and even the gold and silver hidden in the secret place are still partial, which shows the hurry of leaving, Zhao Jin took out the gold, silver and some of the grain to send away the women, and then used the grain to supplement the supplies of the team, and put a fire in the village, and then led the team away.

Twice in a row, the morale of the team became a little low, and Ji Xiang also became impatient, but at this time, there was no way to go to the next place, and there was still more than an hour when it was dark, but the mount consumption was too big, and it was necessary to rest, Zhao Jin did not force anything, but just arranged for people to start camping, and at the same time gathered more than 20 people with the best riding skills and the most experienced in the team.

"Everyone brings enough supplies for three days, one person and two horses, change into civilian clothes, at most three people in a team, don't want you to kill people and win, but to inquire about the news, we come to the various villages that we pass by on the way, what Niutou Mountain, the villages near the eagle's beak cliff, you all quietly approached to see, to see if these thieves and bandits ran over, don't be greedy for any news, come back first to report the news." Zhao Jin explained to them very clearly.

Everyone agreed, this time followed Zhao in here, in addition to the family, there are also the most outstanding Xuzhou volunteers, these people are thirty or forty years old, they may not have the courage to fight, but they know the most about the doorways on the rivers and lakes in such places, they are the detectives this time, the order is issued, everyone prepares, Zhao Jin arranged for people to set fire to the vicinity of the Zhuangzi to observe, if there is anything wrong, also come back immediately to report.

"The bandit family, I'm afraid that there will be people in the villages we pass through to report to these bandits, and even take in these horse thieves for a while, I'm afraid that we will have fewer people in Shujiazhuang, maybe someone will run out to ventilate and report." Zhao Jin said in a deep voice.

"They are really shameless, these bandits harm them a lot on weekdays, what happened to those women, they actually hooked up and took them in, are they confused?" Ji Xiang said with anger.

Zhao Jin sneered on his face, and Sen Ran said: "I'm afraid that in the eyes of these local people, we are not as pleasing to the eyes of this local bandit, and these local bandits, they can share the spoils and fat, and us?" We're here to dig up his roots, and they think we can carry it? What a joke! ”

Ji Xiang held the hilt of the knife and said, "This time, let them know that it hurts, and they can see blood, and they will be honest next time." ”

In the mountainous area, it gets dark earlier than elsewhere, and soon after the camp is set down, watching the sun does not enter the mountains, the valley has been darkened a lot, there is a benefit here, there are a lot of birds and beasts, and it is not a place where the whole mind is on guard, and the sentry and swimming family have beaten down a lot, and they are directly sent back to open meat at night, and they have to eat some meat to refresh themselves.

When the first bonfire just came up, the family who went to stare at the nearby village came back, and brought back three people who were dead and two alive, they hid in the dark over there, and after half an hour or so, they saw people approaching from a distance, and they were all riding horses, a total of three people, they began to be cautious in the distance, and then they also went around in a big circle, for fear that the people of Zhao Ziying did not go far, and the family of Zhao Ziying has not moved.

When they felt that it had nothing to do with it, and when they approached on horseback, Zhao Ziying's family Ding rode out and killed one with an arrow, and another person was directly overturned by the horse, and the other was originally running away from the horse, but was directly dragged off the horse by the Mongolian family with a rope lasso, and brought back directly.

As soon as the two living captives entered the camp of Zhao Jin's team, their eyes were straight, they never expected to see such a neat camp head, strong horses and strong cattle, a cart made of wood and iron, and a set of armor on the side, the food in the pot exuded a gluttonous aroma, and the men who walked around were all rigorous, and the whole camp had an oppressive atmosphere.

"Who sent you?" The two captives were very angry, and only bowed their heads there, and asked two more questions, and one of them only said there: "If you have a kind, you will kill us!" ”

Zhao Jin smiled, but Ji Xiang on the side was a little impatient, and said in a muffled voice: "Big brother, let the younger brother torture him, so as not to delay the work." ”

After getting Zhao Jin's consent, Ji Xiang and several family members took the two captives out of the camp to a secluded place, and then there was a heart-rending scream, this voice was so terrible, even the birds and beasts that inhabited the woods at night were alarmed, and even the cattle and horses in those camps neighed, Zhao Jin frowned, and stopped Sun Dalin who was going to check.

Some words can only be said in my heart, but I can't say it explicitly, Ji Xiang is bloodthirsty and ferocious, and instead of grinding away this anger by pressing it for so long, it has been pressed even harder, and when I bring it out, I can't contain it when I see blood, thinking about it from this aspect, it's not a bad thing to be able to vent.

It didn't take long for Ji Xiang and the family to come back, but the two captives were gone, Ji Xiang was covered in blood, dirty everywhere, and the family behind him looked at him with a little cringe, and walked to Zhao Jin, Ji Xiang said with some excitement: "Big brother, the people and horses of this village have been walking for two days, and they are in Lujiazhuang, which is ten miles away from Mengyin County." ”

Zhao Jin nodded and asked, "What about the captives?" ”

"I can't stand it, I'm all dead." Yoshika replied with a smile.

"Leave one behind, and at least show us the way." Zhao Jin shook his head and said, Ji Xiang was stunned and speechless.

However, this time brought Xuzhou Yiyong and Neiwei have the way to know, in the mountains of Mengyin County is the key to some dark roads, trafficking in smuggled goods, outlaws everywhere, walking in the mountains is much safer than the plains, the only trouble here is near Mengyin County, he is just at the bottom of the mountain valley to form the center of the official road, if you want to cross this mountainous area, you must pass around this county, so there are a lot of people who deal with this side, as for the location of this Lujiazhuang, you can only ask after you arrive.

It takes an hour and a half to ride a horse from the location of this village to the county seat, but this side is not Xuzhou, there is a big difference between rushing during the day and walking at night, and the volunteers dare not boast in front of Zhao Jin, but they just say that it will be at least two and a half hours, and there will be more.

"Select five hundred people, one hundred people with firearms, a one-pound cannon, and set off after resting for half an hour, and the rest of the family will camp here, waiting for me to return, Daxiang, you don't have to worry, let's go together!" Looking up at the night sky, Zhao Jin gave the order.

When Zhao Jin's team set off, it was already completely dark, Zhao Jin and they did not hide their tracks, they directly held high the lights to lead the way, and the rest of the people followed, in this area, no matter what the state city and county, they could not come up with the strength to compete with these five hundred families, and the villages in the mountains along the road did not have the courage to come and provoke.

But the speed of the road is really not able to get faster, the land is dry and hard in autumn and winter, it is the most convenient season for horses and vehicles, but the road here is still very poor, there are potholes on the road, needless to say, is it possible to see the ravine, you must know that this road is actually the official road leading to the outside of the mountain in Mengyin County, and it is actually broken to this point.

"Thanks to the one-pound cannon this time, a few people can still carry it over, but if it's a three-pound one, it can only be turned back!" Someone in the team whispered, everyone knows discipline, you can't talk loudly when you are in a hurry, but it is rare to leave the scope of Zhao Ziying once, and when you see the gap between the outside and Xuzhou, you still can't help but sigh, for such a comparison, Zhao Jin and Ji Xiang did not restrain anything.

"We can win all battles within the control area, because every qiē over there is ready for us, the wide and strong road can carry artillery, the water transport ships are also complete, the big ships docked at the ferry can transport artillery, there are Yunshan Inn every other distance, that is actually our military station, and the farmland along the way is our fortress, not to mention that our brigade has controlled every point, in that range, our manpower, grain and grass and equipment can be continuously supplied, As long as we don't get dizzy and make mistakes, we won't lose, but it's different outside, although there are no strong enemies here, but it's dangerous everywhere, so we must be cautious, and I'm afraid most of the big battles we have to fight in the future. "Zhao Jin is not just talking about this fight.

Ji Xiang listened carefully and asked in a deep voice, "Then the only one who can start a war is near our territory?" Step by step? ”

"Not really, there are such and such troubles on this road, if we have our own fleet, then the places near the waterway port can be the same!" Zhao Jin said.

There are special family members who watch the stars and the moon move, judge the approximate time pass, every half an hour to get off the horse and lead the horse on foot, every hour is a moment of rest for the whole group, and then every break to report the roll call, lest someone get lost, so that the walk is indeed not fast, but it can keep the tired people and horses for a day.
