On the second day, Cheng Yaojin led his troops out of the city to suppress the bandits, causing a stir in Chang'an City.
In the teahouse, some scholars and talented people who like to pay attention to current affairs and politics are talking about it.
"Hey, do you think it will be possible for His Majesty to ask the Cheng family to go out to suppress the bandits this time? Even the Xuanjia Army will not be able to defeat them."
One person waved his hand and said he didn't care: "Huh, I am a bandit from Suguo Gongtu, so I naturally know the bandits better. How can we be worried?"
The person next to him had a strange look on his face, tapped his fingers on the table, and whispered.
"Ahem, brother Wenjie, you are from a bandit! This is Chang'an, don't talk nonsense, Duke Su was from the Wagang Army in the late Sui Dynasty..."
The man had to laugh twice: "Ahem, haha, that's right, Wagang Army Wagang Army..."
The imperial court's bandit fights bandits, while the city is talking about it in full swing...
Cheng Yaojin had already left Chang'an City early in the morning with more than 200 people from the Xiaowei Battalion of Zuowuwei in the capital and his own tribe, diverted from Gyeonggi Road, and headed directly towards Sijiao Mountain.
"Ahem, boss, these guys like Lao Wu are still so slow to grab a food convoy. After not working for many years, their hands and feet are rusty~"
And on an unknown road, Gao Shigui was riding a black horse, wearing a particularly eye-catching outfit as a caretaker of a home, and he was walking head-to-head with Cheng Yaojin, the official of the Su Kingdom.
Cheng Yaojin glanced at him: "Ahem, boss, you have to call me a general on the battlefield... But that's right, you old masters have loosened your muscles and bones for me in the past few years, so you can grab a small amount of food. The whole team is working hard for me, so don’t embarrass me~"
Cheng Yaojin, who has a body as tall as a tower, rides his favorite horse, an iron mule, and chases the wind horse. His waist is slouched and he said with a sullen face.
However, the slow marching speed of Cheng Yaojin and his group was obviously waiting for someone.
This speed would probably make Li Shimin's blood pressure rise just by looking at it.
I asked you to go suppress bandits, but you acted like you were on vacation~
"Hey, keep your heart in mind, my brothers were howling when they came out~"
After Gao Shigui said something encouraging, he couldn't help but said with some worry: "But boss, are we afraid that we just came out and snatched the Cui family's grain truck? If it is leaked when we go back, there will be some trouble~"
There are many people around Gyeonggi Province, so there is a real risk of being exposed.
But Cheng bit his head and tilted his head, eyes widened: "You old guy, are you talking nonsense? What are you talking about? What do you mean you are suppressing bandits and requisitioning grain and grass on your orders?"
"So what if they know, I can certainly wipe my ass if I have something to say. If you don't know, this food belongs to me. When I come back, I can put the pots on my rack along the Gyeonggi Road to provide disaster relief to the refugees along the way!"
Gao Shigui couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he heard this: "Boss is really tall~"
Cheng Yaojin stroked his beard happily and said proudly: "That's right! Besides, I asked Old Wu and the others to change their clothes. That was all done by other mountain bandits. What does it have to do with my old Cheng family?" "
Gao Shigui immediately acted as a qualified henchman, nodding his head like a chicken pecking rice and flattering: "The boss is right, who can guess that we did it?"
This idiot, can you speak louder?
Cheng Yaojin slapped him on the head angrily: "Keep your voice down!"
Gao Shigui smiled bitterly.
"Report!!!"
At this time, a scout galloped towards Cheng Yaojin's team on horseback.
"Report!!!"
Cheng Yaojin raised his eyebrows: "Hey, is there news?"
The scout turned over and dismounted, quickly ran over and said, "General Cheng, after three days and three nights of exploration by the Xuanjia Army, we have indeed found traces of secret passages at the northwest and southeast entrances of Sijiao Mountain!"
The scout's words made Cheng Yaojin's eyebrows light up. He immediately patted his big crotch on his horse and said with a smile: "His grandma, Chu Mo really got it right! Hahaha~"
"Come here, drag this young general away...ahem, please go down and I'll reward you with five hundred coins!"
Scout: ...
I was so scared, I thought I was going to be dragged down.
But the old Cheng family is so grand!
The reward is a real reward, half of it!
Gao Shigui said with a smile: "Hey, boss, now that we know where these people's secret passages are, it's not an easy task! When the time comes to face the attack head-on, secretly, we can also give them a head start directly from the secret passages?"
In one fell swoop...
Cheng Yaojin didn't feel there was anything wrong with this statement. After all, it was also a 'crouching dragon and phoenix chick' in terms of culture, he said.
"Oh, don't worry, we'll wait until we have a look at the terrain~ I just said that these evil people from Sijiao Mountain are everywhere, and food supplies have never been on the mountain. It seems that Chu Mo was really fooled!"
In fact, the reason why Cheng Yaojin waited until today to send out troops to suppress the bandits was to wait for the exploration of the terrain of Sijiao Mountain a few days ago.
And if Cheng Chumo hadn't brought this boy back, he really wouldn't have had time to find these people in Sijiao Mountain.
Now Sijiao Mountain is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and the surrounding roads are blocked. Now with these two secret passages, it can catch him off guard!
Hey, I, Old Cheng, will accept this credit!
Isn’t it wonderful that you can also eliminate harm for the people~
~~~
And next to a three-way road more than ten miles west of this off-road.
A group of sneaky people were nesting in the surrounding snow.
It was windy and snowy, and everyone was covered with snowflakes.
"Damn it, why aren't you here? Isn't there news that the Cui family's caravan will transport a batch of grain from the city to Luoyang today? Is the news given by the boss false?"
Wu Dabiao was getting a little impatient while waiting. The slightly thinner masked man moved his body and his voice was quite young.
"Uncle Wu, don't worry. In this winter, it's normal to walk slowly. This just means it's a big fish~"
Wu Dabiao thought for a moment, then nodded and said: "What you said makes sense, you will block the way later!"
"Hey, leave it to me, Uncle Wu!"
Early this morning, when Cheng Yaojin led the crowd through Zhuque Street, he saw a big movement in the Cui family's grain merchant's shop.
Then someone was sent to investigate and it turned out that the grain store under Cui's house was about to transport a batch of grain and grass to Luoyang.
After leaving the city, Cheng Yaojin naturally became more active.
These business skills that I haven’t touched in many years need to be practiced and practiced——
So, Wuyang Wuyang's army suddenly lost twenty or thirty people. Is there a problem? No problem~
No, there was a person sneaking over on the other side with brisk steps.
"Angkor Angkor, here we come!!!"
Wu Dabiao's eyes suddenly lit up, as if the still silent throbbing in his bones was rising.
Then he held up a knife with his backhand and said with an excited expression: "Brothers, cheer up! The fish is coming!"
"Okay!!"
"Okay~"
"Hey, it's finally here!"
After a burst of monkey-like sounds, the area returned to silence again~
Within a quarter of an hour, a horse-drawn carriage with goods packed in sacks on a rack behind it slowly appeared on this three-way road...
call out!
An arrow flew across the sky and suddenly landed in an open space not far from the carriage convoy.
The leading guard was shocked!
His expression suddenly darkened, he waved his hand and shouted: "Attention everyone! There are bandits!!!"
Suddenly there was a sound of drawing swords and swords...
