After subduing the group of people from Enmazhai and the 200 remnant soldiers from Heifeng Village, Xiao Rui now has more than 600 people under his command. I'm not afraid of not being able to feed them, Wuhu Village has enough food. It's just that this group of people is too mixed, and relying on Xiao Rui and the three of them to subdue them, it's inevitable that some people will have their own thoughts and it's difficult to control them.
Fortunately, Xiao Rui doesn't want to be the king of the mountain. He only uses them for two days. In a short period of time, relying on their fear of Fang Er, he can command them for a few days.
"Brother Xiao, why don't we strike while the iron is hot and take them to kill the remaining ones one by one?" Fang Er suggested eagerly.
Xiao Rui asked curiously: "What? Didn't you have enough killing today?"
puff……
Ma and others in the Juyi Hall really want to vomit blood. Listen, are these human words? When did killing become a game for fun instead of being forced to do so? Who are these three people? A murderous demon? Are you the real bandits?
Fang Er grinned, "It's fun, it's fun! I've been killing for two days in a row, and my martial arts skills have also been improved. It's useless to kill again. There are hundreds of people here, and I want to try leading people to attack the city. "
Siege? ? ? Xiao Rui was astonished. Has this martial arts idiot become enlightened?
Li Junxian laughed loudly and said: "Yi Ai, you can't practice siege in this village. Take the Five Tigers Village as an example. Go and observe the terrain and garrison here, and then... Hey, hey, I haven't done it yet. Finished."
Seeing the back of Fang Er running back and forth in a hurry, Li Junxian directly covered his eyes, unable to bear to look directly.
Not long after, Fang Er came back panting, "Fifth brother, I have finished my observation. Although it is not a city, the defense is still strong. There is no one that two thousand people cannot attack."
Xiao Rui already bent over with laughter.
Li Junxian said awkwardly: "Yes, Yi Ai, that's what I'm talking about. I didn't ask you to really observe the terrain just now, and I haven't finished what I said later. It's not that simple to attack the city. Firstly, you don't have enough manpower. Secondly, they are not united and cannot attack the city; thirdly, you have no siege equipment."
"Leading them to attack the city? Why not go in and suppress the bandits yourself?"
Fang Er scratched his head and laughed, just in time to hear the whispers of several bandit leaders. Perhaps in order to relieve the embarrassment, he turned to the bandit leaders and scolded: "What are you looking at? They are a bunch of trash and have no siege equipment. What use do you have?"
I……
Brother, we are a group of bandits, why do we need siege equipment? Do you know why you want to dominate the mountain? Just because he didn't dare to face the court directly, there was a way to survive by hiding in the mountains.
Xiao Rui thought for a moment and said, "Put the remaining three cottages back. Next, we will deal with the corrupt officials in Tanzhou City."
Corrupt officials?
Fang Er's eyes lit up, "Brother Xiao, you mean to take them to attack Tanzhou City?"
ah?
A group of bandits immediately became intimidated, and the black blind man took the lead in begging for mercy: "Gentlemen, please spare us! Give us a hundred courages, we don't dare to attack the city. We are just a group of bandits, if we attack the city If you fight against the imperial court, you will become a rebel, and being a rebel will kill the nine tribes."
Xiao Rui also covered his eyes, rolled his eyes at Fang Er, and said with a smile: "What nonsense are you talking about? You can't even attack the stronghold, but you still want to attack the city?"
puff……
Li Junxian couldn't stand it any longer. Why is the young master like this too? Is that a problem with siege engines?
Seeing Li Junxian's expression, Xiao Rui also knew that he had made a mistake and quickly changed his words and said: "Besides, even if you want to practice siege, it is to find trouble with the enemy country. How can you practice against your own city?"
Fang Er scratched his head and said: "But...Brother Xiao, if we don't attack the city, how can we punish those corrupt officials? Do we need to reveal our identity to them?"
Li Junxian shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it won't work. Tanzhou City is too far away from Chang'an, but it is closer to Lingnan. The imperial court here is also out of reach, and strong dragons cannot suppress local snakes, so our status may not be useful."
hiss……
I understand. Listening to this, these people are high-ranking officials in the court. Judging from their identities...could it be that the leader is the prince?
No, no, the prince is still underage. Besides, it sounds like the other party's surname is Xiao and the prince's surname is Li.
A court dignitary named Xiao? At this age...with two masters of hundreds of enemies beside him? Could it be... him? The fourth child suddenly made a shocking guess, and his heart almost jumped out of excitement.
"Hey, hey, Xiashanhu, what's wrong with you? You're not scared to death, are you?" Corner Horse saw Lao Si breathing rapidly and rolled his eyes, and quickly exclaimed.
Xiao Rui walked over and took a look, then stretched out his hand and patted Lao Si a few times before the other party recovered.
"Thank you, thank you... Thank you Lord Marquis for saving your life." The fourth child stood up, knelt down towards Xiao Rui, and kowtowed.
It could be heard from his tone that his attitude had changed a lot at this time. Instead of the previous fear and trepidation, he was filled with pure excitement.
oh?
Xiao Rui said slightly surprised: "What? Guessed our identity?"
The fourth child raised his head excitedly, confirming his guess in his heart. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Xiao Rui's eyes and immediately shut up and did not dare to speak.
"Haha, you are quite clever. Let's see that you performed well today. Let's get ready. I will send you to Tanzhou City tonight to be useful."
Hearing that the Marquis wanted to use him, Lao Si beat his chest and promised that he would love him: "I am willing to die for the Marquis."
Fang Er kicked the man over and cursed: "What are you thinking? You are a bandit with bloody hands, and I will die with you? Wouldn't that embarrass my elder brother?"
"Love!" Xiao Rui shouted to stop Fang Er.
The fourth bandit lowered his head in shame, feeling annoyed in his heart. If I had known that this man would pass by Tanzhou one day, he would have given up evil and followed good. Sigh... is it like this now? How can you still have the face to be caught in the act by the Marquis?
Corner Horse, Heixiazi and others were very puzzled, wondering what happened to Shanhu now? What is the identity of the other party? How could he be like this?
Xiao Rui said: "Everyone, get up. Fifth brother, take a few people from Heifeng Village to Heifeng Village to collect and transport the property of Heifeng Village. Well... just transport it to Enmazhai."
ah? Why was it trapped in Mazhai?
"Because we are going to Enmazhai later. The rest of us will go with me from Wuhu Village to Sanlong Village, pick up all the belongings from house to house, transport them all to Enmazhai, and finish the matter before sunset , we will set up camp tonight at Xianmazhai. From now on, we will use Xianmazhai as our stronghold."
ah?
Corner Horse couldn't laugh or cry, and felt incomprehensible in his heart. If you had told me earlier, you would have known that you were going to take the treasure to trap the horse village, so why did we come to die? Can't you just go directly? I will directly give you my position as the boss, and I will treat you as if you bought our Zhenmazhai with three hills. Alas... I have lost so many brothers in vain.
Before sunset, Lao Si listened to Xiao Rui's instructions, quickly arrived at Tanzhou City, and took advantage of the night to find the corrupt governor of Tanzhou City, who was also the biggest backer of Wuhu Village in Tanzhou.
