Liu Heng said with a smile: "Thanks to Leader Ma for your kindness, I won't trouble Leader Ma and the other brothers in the cavalry team."
A cavalry team is an enemy but not a friend. How dare Liu Heng keep Ma Yunjiu and his cavalry team by his side, putting himself and the grain transport team in constant danger.
Seeing that Liu Heng was unwilling to let the cavalry stay, Ma Yunjiu smiled and said: "Since Brother Liu Heng has no need of us, I will take people back to the camp first. Brother Liu must be more careful on the road. If anything happens, just send him." People come to the camp to deliver messages.”
"I won't send the leader away. I will take the food back to the camp after the battlefield here is cleaned up." Liu Heng shouted from behind the food truck.
"Go ahead and say goodbye." Ma Yunjiu held his hands, pulled the reins with his right hand, turned the horse's head, and led the rest of the horse team away towards the rogue camp.
After the cavalry left for a while, Chen Xunping lifted his ears from the ground and said to Liu Heng, "The cavalry has gone far."
Liu Heng nodded, and then said to Chen Xunping: "Second brother, go to the back of the hillside on the left to find Brother Shuheng. Let's discuss what to do next."
"Okay, I'll go now." Chen Xunping held a torch and walked toward the hillside on the left alone.
Liu Heng said to Yang Yuan again: "You take a group of refugee recruits and sneak back to Archer Camp to check whether the camp of Archer Camp is safe, and then send people to report to me every other mile."
Yang Yuan said: "The group of refugee recruits driving the truck have been taking care of the livestock. This time I will take them away."
Liu Heng nodded and said: "I will wait here for your news."
Yang Yuan strode away, summoned the group of refugee recruits who had not participated in the battle but were taking care of the livestock, took them out of the grain transport convoy, and disappeared into the night.
After Chen Xunping and Yang Yuan left, Liu Heng began to arrange for the commanders of each bandit recruits to check the casualties of their squads, and then arranged for the refugee recruits who had never killed anyone to clean up the corpses of bandits outside the grain truck, including disposing of them. Those bandits who were injured but not dead.
Some refugee recruits who had no chance to see blood were required to repeatedly stab the corpses with wooden spears, learning to adapt to such a scene and transforming from a recruit to a veteran.
After this experience, Liu Heng found that the temperament of these refugee recruits under his command was different from before, and each of them had an indescribable aura about them.
After some statistics, none of the refugee recruits were killed, and only thirty-seven were slightly injured. Among them, two injured refugee recruits were injured because they were nervous because it was too dark, and they accidentally knocked on the shaft of a grain truck. .
This time can be regarded as a big victory, but Liu Heng knew that this victory was not about how strong his refugee recruits were. It was entirely because they took advantage of the night and the car formation. It would not have happened during the day or on the plains. Such results.
"Haha, I didn't expect our little brother to be good at fighting. He won this battle beautifully." Li Shuheng couldn't help but laugh loudly when he learned that his side only had so few casualties but almost completely wiped out the enemy.
Chen Xunping, who was beside him, also said: "I didn't expect our little brother to have such ability. It was already impressive enough to get so much food from Zhengjiazhuang without hurting anyone. I didn't expect to win such a victorious battle again. That year's Even Du Shuai may not have this ability."
Liu Heng was not dazzled by the victory. Instead, he said: "Brother Shuheng, second brother, the battle is over and Zheng Daqiu is dead. What should we do next? What happened this time is obviously Shi Yunhu sent people to kill several of us." It’s just that he didn’t expect that we were prepared in advance and our strength exceeded his expectations, so we won this victory. I’m afraid it won’t be so easy to deal with him next time.”
Hearing this, the smile on Li Shuheng's face disappeared.
On the way back, he already knew from Chen Xunping what happened in the rogue camp. He also knew that Wu Xiazi and Zhou Heilian, the two camp leaders, were killed by Shi Yunhu, and all the people below him belonged to Shi Yunhu.
After hesitating for a moment, he frowned and said: "Now that Shi Yunhu has captured Wu Xiazi and Zhou Heilian, we will definitely be the ones to deal with it next. Although Ma Yunjiu said that what happened tonight was Zheng Daqiu who secretly led people to intercept them. Kill us, but everyone knows that Zheng Daqiu came under Shi Yunhu’s order.”
Chen Xunping on the side scolded: "Let's just rebel against him. I've long been unhappy with this guy Shi Yunhu. Now we are not short of food and people, and we can stand firm wherever we go. We didn't say we were going to big cities before." Liangshan? I think it’s pretty good there. Why don’t we take over the mountain and be the king of it ourselves, and be free and at ease.”
"Brother Shuheng, what do you mean?" Liu Heng looked at Li Shuheng.
Li Shuheng thought for a moment and said, "What Xunping said makes sense. Now that we have completely broken up with Shi Yunhu, this time he has sent Zheng Daqiu and Ma Yunjiu. Maybe there are other tricks waiting for us."
Seeing that Liu Heng didn't answer, Li Shuheng asked, "What do you think?"
"My idea is that we go back to the camp." Liu Heng frowned at the two people in front of him at the same time. He continued, "Brothers, don't be impatient. Listen to my explanation."
Li Shuheng suppressed the urge to ask immediately and waited for Liu Heng's next words.
Liu Heng said: "With such a big thing happening in the camp, everyone must be in danger. In name, Shi Yunhu took over Wu Xiazi and the people left behind after their deaths, but we have all been in the border army, and there are new ones. People who want to regain control of the people below cannot do it with just a transfer order. The same is true for Shi Yunhu now. Besides our own strength..."
He continued: "There are about a hundred archers in the archer camp. The three hundred refugee recruits I trained have all seen blood today, which can be regarded as a force. Except for the strongest cavalry, Shi Yunhu only has five or six hundred people. , is not much stronger than us. Now that we have obtained so much food, we can fully expand our strength to compete with Shi Yunhu. On the surface, it is difficult for Shi Yunhu to annex us. From now on, it will depend on which side is stronger and will be more powerful in the camp in the future. The right to speak."
After saying this, Li Shuheng and Chen Xunping fell into deep thought.
Seeing this, Liu Heng knew that his two brothers were not the kind of people who were good at strategizing. Everything needed to be broken down and explained thoroughly.
There was something else he didn't say to his two brothers.
This time he brought back so much food, and he took over the mountain and became the king as the two people said. Shi Yunhu and the entire bandit camp would not let them go. For the sake of food, the entire bandit camp would temporarily unite. deal with them.
He was confident of competing against Shi Yunhu's men and horses, but facing the entire rogue camp who were going crazy for food, it was difficult for his hundreds of men plus the hundred or so people from the Archer Camp to cope, even if he could barely keep the food. His own strength will also suffer a great loss, but the greater possibility is that all the food will be taken away by Shi Yunhu.
After a while, Li Shuheng suddenly said: "Go back to the camp. As you said, we will train more refugee recruits, but this matter has to be left to you. You have trained the refugee recruits well this time."
Liu Heng nodded.
Even if Li Shuheng didn't say anything about training refugee recruits, he wouldn't do it to others.
Chen Xunping on the side said: "I will make arrangements to return to the camp."
He turned around to leave, but was stopped by Liu Heng beside him.
Just listen to Liu Heng say: "Don't worry, I have arranged for Yang Yuan to lead a group of people back to explore the way first. When it is confirmed that there is no danger in the camp, he will send people back to report the news. We will return to the camp at that time."
At this moment, a bandit with a wooden spear in his hand hurried over.
