Ye Ying's body's recovery ability exceeded many people's expectations. In less than a month, his body had almost recovered. Although there was still some pain in the injured abdomen, ribs and neck, it no longer affected his movements.
Seeing Ye Ying reappear in front of everyone, everyone in Feiying Club breathed a sigh of relief, because Ye Ying has now become the backbone of the village. Seeing that the big boss has recovered his health, everyone feels confident. .
News finally came from Heishan County. The team transporting silver coins from Heishan County will set off in two days. The team will be led by County Wei Zengchi, and will be accompanied by a convoy of about 200 county soldiers and officers.
"Their strength is about the same as ours, but we are hiding in the dark, so we have a great chance of winning this time. I suggest that the location of the attack be chosen as the Mingshi Stream five miles behind Yunshan Pass. There is an ambush there. A good place." Chen Gang said excitedly at the pre-war meeting.
"I agree with Leader Chen's idea. There is another advantage to attacking in Mingshi Stream. We can evacuate in time. By the time the guards at Yunshan Pass receive the news and arrive, we will have already run far away." Jiang Jin, Zuo Military Advisor He also smiled and stood up to express his point of view.
"I, Lao You, are a big boss, so I will just listen to your arrangements. But there is one thing. If I give you the opportunity to chew hard bones, Lao You is not afraid of chipping my teeth." The leader, "Evil Zhong Kui" You Tong, is a straight-tempered person who will do whatever comes to his mind. say what.
However, Youtong's views represented the opinions of most Touling, and they all expressed their support for Chen Gang's proposal. In the end, everyone's eyes fell on the face of the headmaster Ye Ying, waiting for him to make the final decision.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Ye Ying stood up and pointed at the simple map he drew on the wall. He drew a small circle at a location on the map, which stunned everyone present.
"Liangfengyi, this location is still within Heishan County. It is surrounded by open space and is not suitable for an ambush. If we try here, we should not be able to succeed!" Chen Gang is one of the few general leaders who knows how to command operations. Man, he immediately raised objections to Ye Ying's idea.
Other leaders on the side also expressed their opinions, thinking that Liangfengyi was indeed not a good place to implement the plan.
"Everyone thinks that Liangfengyi is not a good place to attack. Maybe Zhao Chi never thought that we would attack here." Faced with the opposition of almost everyone, Ye Ying still insisted on his opinion.
"If we fight here, let alone the question of whether we can defeat them? Even if we can defeat them, how can we transport the things away before the reinforcements from the county arrive." Chen Gang really couldn't understand. He looked very nervous on weekdays. How could the shrewd Ye Ying come up with such an idea?
Knowing that if he could not persuade Chen Gang, the people in the village would not carry out his orders 100%, so he put his mouth next to Chen Gang's ear and whispered quietly. After a while, he watched Chen Gang's frown relax.
"Is this okay?" Although Chen Gang had a questioning tone, it was not difficult for everyone to see from his words that Ye Ying actually convinced Chen Gang.
"It's almost a day's journey from Liangfeng Station to Mingshijian. If we fail here, it won't be too late to go to Mingshijian to set up an ambush." Ye Ying's next words finally convinced Chen Gang.
Wei Zengchi of Heishan County is actually a very powerful person. Over the years he has been in Heishan County, he has led a Heishan County team composed of county soldiers and police officers to fight against surrounding bandits many times. He has always won more victories than lost.
This escorting of silver coins to Jinling was originally a very confidential matter, but Zeng Chi deliberately revealed the information.
After the news spread, several groups of bandits in the surrounding areas were secretly planning to steal the money. But what they didn't expect was that Zhao Chi, who was responsible for escorting the silver coins, was also plotting against these bandits.
Before traveling, Zeng had already known that this road was suitable for setting up ambushes and the places where bandits often appeared. He also made a precise plan to kill all the bandits who usually hide in the mountains and refuse to come out.
According to Zhao Zengchi's idea, if he could defeat this generation of bandits this time, he would immediately become famous. If the big shots in the family take action again, their career will be smooth sailing.
Zeng Chi has been trained intensively in his family since he was a child, and he does have a few tricks up his sleeve, and this time he also used some secret power in the family. According to his thinking, he is bound to win this time.
However, Zeng Chi also had a common weakness among the children of big families, that is, they were greedy for enjoyment and were very concerned about face. Therefore, for this trip, he planned to drive quickly in the morning and rest in the afternoon.
Moreover, the itinerary is already set by adding holdings before departure. Book your daily accommodation in advance and try to avoid camping in the wild as much as possible. Therefore, the places you choose are generally the inns built by the government, because the conditions in these places are much better.
The real idea is actually similar to Chen Gang's. Liangfengyi is not far from the county seat of Heishan County, and this place has a wide view and is not an easy place to set up an ambush, so the bandits cannot be stupid enough to act here.
It was based on this idea that they decided to rest in Liangfengyi on the first day. However, Zeng Chi never expected that there was a "stupid" bandit who wanted to take advantage of them here.
Liangfengyi is not far from the county seat. The terrain is open and the scenery is good. Sometimes the nearby officials are bored and deliberately come here to stay for a day or two. Therefore, the facilities here are very good, and the personnel on duty here are also better than There were a lot more people at other stations. Except for one postmaster, there were more than 30 postmen with various duties.
Liangfengyi's position is a good one. The current postmaster, Liang Yang, relied on many connections and spent some money to get his current position. Even many postmen entered Liangfengyi through connections.
Although Liang Yang was just a small postman, he came into contact with officials at all levels, including many high-ranking and powerful people. Under his deliberate flattery, he actually managed to get around well.
Being in this kind of environment for a long time has trained Liang Yang to have a good eye. He can judge the general position of anyone he sees with just one glance, which determines his attitude towards greeting them.
On this day, Liang Yang was resting in the inn when he suddenly heard that a group of people were coming towards Liangfeng Post. He was worried that he had neglected important people, so Liang Yang immediately got up and went to the door of the inn.
From a distance, he saw about fifty or sixty people coming. The leader was an ugly middle-aged man who was wearing very ordinary clothes and did not have the aura of a superior. Liang Yang immediately put away his smile and replaced it with a serious look.
"Who are you? Liangfeng Post only accepts official officials from the imperial court. Please leave as soon as possible!" Liang Yang looked at these people walking to the door of the post with a righteous expression.
"I'm not an official, but today my brothers and I wanted to come to this inn to rest." After hearing Liang Yang's words, the leader of the group did not choose to leave, but said a little arrogantly.
"Liangfengyi is not a place where anyone can run wild. If you don't leave, you won't be able to eat by then, so don't walk around." Although he felt that these people who came were a bit unusual, Liang Yang believed that he knew many high-ranking officials in the court. , I don't take these people seriously at all.
"I have something here. Once you take it out, you will know who we are." After hearing Liang Yang's words, the middle-aged man still said a little arrogantly.
"Then please take out your tokens." Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Liang Yang became much more polite, because he suspected that this middle-aged man was someone sent by officials from the DPRK and China to perform a secret mission. Some of these people had no clues. position, but due to his powerful background, he cannot afford to offend.
"That's it." What happened next moment shocked everyone in Liangfengyi, because the middle-aged man pulled out a short knife from his waist and put it directly on Liang Yang's neck.
At the same time, the people following the middle-aged man drew their swords from their waists one after another, and pointed their sword tips at all the management stations in Liangfeng Station.
"Hero, tell me what you have to say!" At this time, Liang Yang finally understood the identities of these people, but he did not understand how these bandits came to rob a post station with little property.
"Your name is Liang Yang, your wife's name is Zhu Chunhua, and you have a four-year-old son named Liang Ji, who lives in Gukui Village hundreds of thousands of miles away from here." The middle-aged man said slowly, but he could say Liang Yang was so frightened that he almost peed his pants.
"Good man, please don't hurt the villain's wife and children. If you need anything, I will cooperate with you." Liang Yang is a smart man. Hearing that the other party actually inquired about his family's situation, he must not just be plotting against him. Fengyi had little food and supplies, but he didn't dare to hide any small thoughts.
All the management postmen in Liangfengyi are just ordinary people engaged in service work. They have never seen such a battle. The good-hearted people were so frightened that they peed their pants on the spot. No one had the mentality to resist.
The middle-aged man who placed the knife handle on Liang Yang's neck was none other than the leader of the Flying Eagle Society, "Evil Zhong Kui" Youtong. Behind him were all the bandits of the Flying Eagle Society.
With the honest cooperation of Liang Yang and others, most of the former management postmen of Liangfeng Post were imprisoned in the basement and woodshed of the post, and their replacements were all bandits from the Flying Eagle Society.
It didn't take long for Liangfengyi to return to normal order. The appearance did not look much different from usual, but the entire Liangfengyi was now under the control of Youtong.
It was just after noon when Zeng Chi and his party arrived at Liangfengyi. In fact, they had time to travel a little further, but Zeng Chi ordered them to camp here tonight.
On the one hand, it was because he didn't want to get too tired, and on the other hand, he wanted to give enough preparation time to the bandits who tried to take advantage of his group.
"We will know who is the hunter and who is the prey then." Zeng Chi, sitting in the lobby of Liangfeng Inn, said to himself while eating fruit.
It's no wonder that Zeng Chi is so confident. He has already sent people from his family to arrange targets at various places he wants along the way. By then, he will be informed of all the bandits' little moves.
After meeting Zeng Chi and his party, Liang Yang knew what the intentions of these uninvited guests were today. But for the safety of his family, how dare he reveal the situation here to Zeng Chi.
In fact, if Zeng Chi observes carefully, it is not difficult to find that Liang Yang's expression is a little abnormal, including the fact that the management postmen of Liangfengyi are not skilled in the work, but Zheng Chi, who has a higher vision, why would he focus on these things? On top of small roles.
