Erlong Mountain area.
The head of the family, Yu Qingdong, gathered all the heads of the family to the Juyi Hall for a meeting.
Without any polite words, he went straight to the point: "Everyone, Zhao Ping has arrived in Qingzhou now and is bound to wipe out all the bandits in Qingzhou. What do you think?"
"Master, how many people does Zhao Ping have?"
Someone said disdainfully: "There are only 200 people in total. We have 1,800 people in Erlong Mountain."
"Even if one person holds a wooden stick, he can beat them to pieces."
"We have also wiped out all the bandits in Qingzhou, and only a few of them have come to die."
"That's right, Master, we don't need to be afraid of them."
Someone echoed: "Even Qingzhou's commander, the commander of the army, can't do anything to us in Erlongshan. He, Zhao Ping, is just a civilian. What qualifications do he have to suppress bandits?"
"It's better if he doesn't come. If he dares to come to our Erlong Mountain, I will definitely chop off his head with the Ghost Head Sword."
"Master, I am willing to be the vanguard and guard Erlong Mountain. I will definitely take the life of that Zhao Ping dog."
"..."
The bandits in Erlong Mountain relied on their strength and did not take Zhao Ping seriously.
Yu Qingdong couldn't help frowning and scolding, "Don't be arrogant!"
"Zhao Ping wiped out three waves of bandits in Yun'an County in one day, using only a hundred men."
"If it were you, who could do it?"
"this……"
Many bandits were dumbfounded.
If you want to fight, you definitely need a lot of people.
Otherwise, how can we win?
"Master, what do you think?"
Yu Qingdong knew that asking these bandits was no different from asking a fool.
It's okay to let them fight, but it's useless to let them make suggestions.
Fortunately, Erlong Mountain has Master He Zhou.
He Zhou was an old scholar. He was in his forties before he passed the scholar examination.
After consuming his father and mother to death, his wife and children also ran away with them. He didn't know anything except reading and writing, so he went to the mountains to become a bandit.
Become a scholar in Erlong Mountain.
It is precisely because of this master that Erlong Mountain has developed from an inconspicuous hilltop into the largest bandit den in Qingzhou.
Yu Qingdong relies on him very much.
After hearing this, the master stroked his beard and asked with a smile, "Master, do you know how Zhao Ping will suppress the bandits?"
"I don't know about that."
Yu Qingdong shook his head.
Zhao Ping entered Qingzhou, and Erlongshan had just received the news.
However, Zhao Ping's name has been circulating around for several days.
Very loud.
For example, Zhao Ping conquered the plague and was a miracle doctor in Yun'an County.
For example, Zhao Ping chopped off Huang Fengnian's head and eliminated one harm to Yun'an County, which was the blue sky of Yun'an County.
For example, Zhao Ping led less than 200 bodyguards to defeat three waves of bandits in Yun'an County in one day, and restored peace and prosperity to Yun'an County.
Wait, wait, it abounds.
It's said to be amazing.
Especially when three waves of bandits were wiped out in one day, they were directly described as gods descending to earth to eliminate harm for the people.
It is said that Zhao Ping has the courage to be defeated by ten thousand men, and he suddenly looks like a god of war.
Standing at the foot of the mountain, the bandits could be scared to death.
The momentum was extremely huge.
Those ignorant people have already regarded Zhao Ping as a god-like figure and an invincible existence.
"Then let's not move."
Master He Zhou said: "It's about waiting."
"What are you waiting for?"
Yu Qingdong asked in confusion: "Do we have to wait for Zhao Ping to attack us at Erlong Mountain?"
"Hahaha, Master, have you forgotten that we also have people outside."
He Zhou said with a smile: "If Zhao Ping really wants to attack us at Erlong Mountain, that person will definitely get the news and pass it on."
Perhaps in response to He Zhou's words, a young bandit immediately hurried over to report.
"The boss has information."
"What information?"
Yu Qingdong asked.
"The little one doesn't know. It's wrapped in a bamboo tube. The little one doesn't dare to open it, and he can't read."
said the little bandit.
"Why are you so long-winded? Hurry up and present the letter to Master."
Yu Qingdong said angrily.
The little bandit then handed the bamboo letter to He Zhou.
He Zhou opened it and scanned it, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Master, what did the letter say?"
Yu Qingdong asked curiously.
"good news."
He Zhou said: "It was sent by our people. He said that Zhao Ping did not attack any wave of bandits, but stationed troops in Evil Wind Valley."
"Why are we stationing troops in Evil Wind Valley?"
Yu Qingdong was puzzled.
"What else can we do? Of course we must defeat each of us."
He Zhou explained: "If you think about it, Zhao Ping only brings a few people. If he wants to divide his troops into several groups and attack all the bandits in Qingzhou together, it is completely impossible."
"We can only defeat them one by one."
"Of course, when sending troops, he also has to consider whether his camp will be invaded."
"That's why he stationed troops in Evil Wind Valley."
"The terrain of Evil Wind Valley is difficult, easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is surrounded by cliffs and dense forests. It is impossible for the army to march straight in."
"It's safest to station troops there."
"It's completely possible to advance and attack, and to retreat and defend."
"He wants to fight a protracted war with us."
"It's good to fight long term."
Yu Qingdong laughed, "Our food reserves in Erlong Mountain are enough for us to eat for a year and a half."
"I don't believe that Zhao Ping can have so much food and grass."
"We just need to hide here and wait until they run out of food and grass, and then leave naturally."
"No, we have to take the initiative."
He Zhou retorted.
"Take the initiative?"
Yu Qingdong was stunned, "Master, didn't you just say that Zhao Ping's troops stationed in Evil Wind Valley are easy to defend but difficult to attack?"
"If we attack, can we easily eliminate his power?"
"It may not be possible to rely on our family, but don't forget, there are not only bandits from our Erlongshan family in Qingzhou, but also bandits from Beifenglin, Qianhewan and other places."
"The man above said that he would persuade the leaders of several other bandits to unite all of our dozen bandits together."
"There should be nearly ten thousand troops by then, and they can level the Evil Wind Valley with force."
"This is a great plan."
Yu Qingdong's eyes lit up, "We at Erlongshan are the biggest bandits, and we will definitely have command authority."
"At that time, I will let other bandits take the lead. When they are almost dead and injured, we will take action and kill Zhao Ping in one fell swoop."
"Get the biggest credit."
"good."
He Zhou was convinced, "So now it's your turn to take action."
"I'm going to take action? Where to go?"
Yu Qingdong was stunned, "Aren't we waiting for that person to persuade other bandits?"
"He must be persuading those who are relatively powerful, such as Beifenglin, Qianhewan and other places, which have about 500 bandits."
He Zhou explained: "But there are still some small hills with hundreds of people in Qingzhou?"
"Those are all people too."
"It's best to use it to lead the charge."
"We in Erlongshan are the strongest bandits in Qingzhou. As long as the big boss raises his arms, those little bandits will definitely surrender to the big boss."
"At that time, we will have absolute control."
"Once Zhao Ping is defeated, we will gather them all and become the strongest force in the entire Qingzhou."
"Then we will annex the bandits in Yuzhou. In time, we will definitely become the largest bandit force in the entire Dawei Dynasty. Even His Majesty will tremble with fear when he sees us."
"Maybe he can even sit on the throne."
It must be said that this master has a big dream.
It has to be said that the bandits really have no culture, and their eyes started to glow golden when they were deceived.
"Done."
"Grandma, we all have one nose and two eyes. How come the Chen family can be the emperor, but we can only be bandits?"
"Depose Zhao Ping and rule the bandits in Yuzhou. Let's become bigger and stronger and become emperor."
"That is, to be the emperor."
Each of these bandits shouted louder than the last, and each one became more powerful than the last.
It seems that as long as they follow the master's arrangements, they will soon become emperors.
The master didn't say anything anymore, just shook his head secretly.
A bunch of unequal things.
I said to command the bandits in Yuzhou, you really have to control the bandits.
Don't you know that bandits are all on the list?
You have done so many evil things for so many years, and you still dare to think of becoming emperor. The common people can hack you to death.
Of course, He Zhou would not say these words.
What he wants is to mobilize the enthusiasm of these ignorant and reckless men, so that they are not afraid of death and have the courage to fight.
Yao Hong, the leader of Beifenglin, also received news from the United People, asking them to join forces with Erlongshan to deal with Zhao Ping.
And with Erlongshan as the leader, they must obey Yu Qingdong's orders.
Yao Hong was quite unconvinced.
A group of bandit leaders were called to a meeting, and the answers they got were surprisingly consistent.
Pretending to cooperate, stabbing someone in the dark.
Anyway, Zhao Pingman only has about 200 people in total, so there is nothing to be afraid of.
The Bei Fenglin family can defeat Zhao Ping's forces without any need to unite with Erlong Mountain.
But if they can take advantage of this opportunity to eradicate most of the forces in Erlong Mountain, they might become the largest bandit force in Qingzhou from Bei Fenglin.
Come to think of it, it's quite cool.
Mao Shiba, the head of Qianhe Bay, also received the news from someone.
The corners of his mouth curved involuntarily.
He muttered to himself, "General, although the Flying Eagle Army is no longer here, I am still a member of the Flying Eagle Army and still uphold the General's will."
"It just so happened that the bandits in Qingzhou united together this time, so I took action again in the name of the Flying Eagle Army. I eradicated as many bandits as I could, without losing the name of the Flying Eagle Army."
Most of the other bandits also received the news, and one by one they began to make plans and wait for the day of rendezvous.
