There are really too many spies, they are simply spying, there is no secret at all, and they are very arrogant.
These bandits' spies had been well hidden before, but when they suddenly appeared so arrogantly, it was obvious that the bandits were beginning to feel emboldened.
Luan Xiong frowned and said: "These bandits are really arrogant. They treat us as fat sheep that cannot escape and are ready to be slaughtered. They don't hide themselves at all."
Zhao Yanhuan rode on the horse and glanced at the bandit spy who was already sitting on the tree openly, not minding being seen at all, with a calm expression.
"They are probably about to take action. Such deliberate exposure, or exposing spies on a large scale, is exerting psychological pressure on us, and wants us to cause chaos in advance."
Luan Hu sneered and didn't care. He even rubbed his hands with some anticipation and said, "Then I have to let these little brats know how powerful I am."
Luan Xiong said excitedly: "I will chop off a few more heads this time and make a big profit!"
In order to encourage his guards not to be afraid to retreat when killing bandits, Zhao Yanhuan stipulated that he would be rewarded with money and land for beheading people.
So when Luan Xiong saw the arrogance and domineering appearance of these bandits, not only did he feel no psychological pressure, but he became excited.
In Luan Xiong's eyes, these bandits have turned into white money and large tracts of land!
Luan Hu gave Luan Xiong a helpless look and said, "The land under your name has not earned enough money. You are so excited every time like this."
Luan Xiong didn't care about his brother's glare, but still said excitedly: "Who can think of too much money and land? I want to make more money and land."
"When I get married and have ten or eight children in the future, no one will get a generous share of the family property. How can I not make more money now?"
Luan Xiong's ideas are very ordinary. He doesn't have the desire of Luan Hu and Luan Bao to expand their territory with Zhao Yanhuan. He only has one idea: make more money, and then have a wife and children.
Not only Luan Xiong was so excited, but Luan Hu was also quite excited, including the soldiers around him, who were also very excited.
Luan Xiong gets money and land from killing people, and they also have it, but they are not as brave as Luan Xiong, and their income is not as much as Luan Xiong, but it is still considerable.
Outside the carriage, everyone was gearing up and full of enthusiasm. In the carriage, as the fifth scum of the war, Yan Hua and Yu Zi were placed in the carriage and protected tightly.
Yan Hua was concentrating with his eyes closed. Yu Zi next to him opened the car curtains from time to time and looked at the tree crown outside. He was a little restless when he saw the bandits who were not hiding their figures on the tree crown.
Yan Hua opened his eyes, his expression was very calm, and his voice even said slowly: "You don't have to worry so much, everything will be fine."
"My lord has killed countless bandits. This is not the first time I have been surrounded by bandits united to seek revenge. My lord has not seen these bandits yet."
Yu Zi put down her hand that lifted the curtains of the car, picked up the tea cup on the small table in front of her, took a sip of water, and said: "I also know that the master must be fine. It's just that it's the first time I met you. I'm a little scared."
In fact, Yu Zi had a psychological shadow on these bandits. She remembered that when she was a child, two surrounding villages were robbed by bandits.
The bandits not only robbed food and money, but also killed people, and the killings were particularly cruel.
They tied up the men and burned them to death, they forcibly defiled the women and then killed them, and they tied the children behind horses and dragged them around for fun. After the bandits left, no one was left alive.
When Yu Zi and her mother were fleeing, they also saw villages that had been ravaged by bandits. It was like a nightmare at a glance. She was really afraid of bandits.
So even though Yu Zi knew rationally that Zhao Yanhuan would be fine, mentally he couldn't control his nervousness, and kept recalling the tragic scenes he had seen in his mind.
Soon, the group of people came to an open area. Luan Hu looked around and said to Zhao Yanhuan: "My lord, the terrain in this place is open. Bandits cannot ambush and attack. Let's take this opportunity to repair and eat and drink." .”
Zhao Yanhuan also nodded and said, "You can arrange it."
Luan Hu did not let everyone relax their vigilance. Half of the guards continued to be vigilant and guarded the surrounding areas. The remaining half made a stove on the spot to cook and eat. After they finished eating, the other half would eat.
Because we didn't know when we were going to fight the bandits, we didn't eat too much. People who eat too much would be lazy and not suitable for such strenuous exercise as fighting.
After dinner, Zhao Yanhuan called Luan Hu and Luan Bao into the carriage, took out a map and spread it out.
This map was drawn by Zhao Yanhuan in Qiyue a long time ago. It is a detailed map of the road to the capital.
In July, his subordinates specially trained a group of people who were good at painting and were responsible for traveling across the country and specializing in drawing maps.
The importance of maps in battle is self-evident. Having a reliable map is essential when fighting.
Zhao Yan was happy in the world, so he naturally started preparing for something as important as the map early.
Zhao Yanhuan clicked on his location on the map, slid forward a little, and said to Luan Hu and Luan Bao: "Let's go forward for forty miles. It is a road with two mountains and a valley. It is the most suitable for an ambush." .”
"But this road is the only way to the capital. If you don't go from here, you will have to take a detour of seven or eight days. And even if you take a detour, you can't avoid places where people can easily ambush. These bandits should be there. There is an ambush waiting for us here.”
Luan Hu agreed: "These bandits know that even if we know about their ambush, we have to go this way, so they are so arrogant and put pressure on us without concealing it."
Luan Xiong cracked his wrists and said with a fierce look on his face: "Master, you decide how to beat them. I will lead my men to beat these turtles to death."
Although the three brothers of the Luan family all look very fierce, and look big and strong, in fact the only one who is truly brave and doesn't like to use his brain is Luan Xiong.
Luan Bao and Luan Hu both have delicate minds. Among them, Luan Bao is the best at being a scout, and Luan Hu is better at leading troops in battle. So when he saw Luan Xiong's dissatisfied expression, he said directly: "Don't mess around."
Then Luan Hu looked carefully at the map, pointed to a place in front that marked a dense forest, and said to Zhao Yanhuan: "My lord, we walked this road before when we went to the capital."
"I remember that the trees around this valley were extremely dense, and the canopy of these dense forests could completely block people's sight."
"This means that once we enter this dense forest, as long as we kill these spies in advance, we will temporarily disappear from the eyes of these bandits."
"At that time, my second brother and I can lead people in batches along the dense forest to the tops of the mountains on both sides where the bandits are ambush, and attack the bandits from behind. In this way, we don't need to face the bandits' ambush."
Zhao Yanhuan nodded and said, "Okay, let's take action as soon as we enter the dense forest. Each of you will lead 450 people to attack the bandits from behind. I will wait in the dense forest."
