The more Zhao Zhiguo thought about it, the more he became afraid. If this was really the case, Pang Qing's plot might be their troops.

"Captain, does Pang Qing want to annex our regiment?" Gao Cang was also shocked.

It is not impossible that Pang Qing was very ambitious and deliberately used the incident of bandits to delay Zhao Zhiguo and the others in Anyang Town, and then Pang Qing thought of various ways to swallow up Zhao Zhigu's troops.

"Let's go back first and discuss it after we get back!" Zhao Zhiguo looked solemn.

After returning to the barracks, Zhao Zhiguo immediately arranged for people to keep an eye on the Pang family and put them under surveillance. Then he told his thoughts to several brothers.

"Isn't Pang Qing too courageous? He still wants to devour us with his few manpower? He is simply daydreaming and whimsical." Yao Pengju thought the matter was ridiculous.

They have dealt with security groups before, and the largest security group only has three to five hundred people. The combat effectiveness of these people is worse than that of the bandits.

"That's right, Commander, even if we give Pang Qing another thousand troops, they won't even think about annexing our regiment." Qin Dongsheng also agreed with Yao Pengju's view.

It's not that they look down on the combat effectiveness of the security group. The soldiers of these security groups have not received any military training. When fighting, they can run faster than rabbits.

"Don't always think about fighting. There are many problems that can be solved without fighting."

When starting a war, Zhao Zhiguo never makes up his mind. What if Pang Qing operates secretly? Now the food, grass and water sources Zhao Zhiguo and the others rely on all come from Anyang Town, and there is no way to control this.

If Pang Qing was tampering with food and water sources, it would be impossible for their soldiers to go without food and water.

"I agree with the leader's idea, and you must have heard about what happened last night. Pang Qing has used his daughter to seduce our leader, which already shows the problem." Gao Cang became more and more cautious.

Pang Tong's performance last night had to make Gao Cang suspect that Pang Tong's purpose was not simple. Maybe Pang Qing was using Pang Tong to keep Zhao Zhiguo in Anyang Town and make Zhao Zhiguo the son-in-law of the Pang family.

This method is the most time-saving and labor-saving. As long as Zhao Zhiguo marries Pang Tong, the soldiers under Zhao Zhiguo will be the soldiers of the Pang family.

With soldiers like Zhao Zhiguo, who would dare to mess with Anyang Town? Maybe Pang Qing would use Zhao Zhiguo to annex the security groups of nearby towns.

"Qin Dongsheng, please pass on the order. Starting today, the troops will eat in batches. Divide them into three parts and eat one hour apart to prevent the food from being poisonous. If you find a soldier vomiting or fainting, report it immediately!"

"Can we just sit back and wait for death? Can't we take the initiative?" Yao Pengju asked.

"Things haven't been clarified yet. If what happened to the bandits is true, there may be a large number of women as hostages in Pang Qing's hands. If we take action at this time, if something goes wrong, do you think Pang Qing will not use those women to threaten us?

?”

"Captain, why don't you send a few scouts to Yaoshan this time to have a look, and first determine whether what happened on Yaoshan is true."

Gao Cang felt that it was necessary to go to Yaoshan again. Before Pang Qing made up his mind to take action against them, he wanted to figure out the matter first.

"Let Liu Qingsheng take two old scouts and bring them two days of rations. Let Zhu Hongsi go with him."

Zhao Zhiguo made up his mind this time, he must figure things out.

"Tian Kezhi, you take a platoon of brothers and patrol the bridge once a day."

The bridge in Anyang Town is a top priority. Once something changes, they must take the bridge into their own hands.

"Yao Pengju, try to reconnoiter the commanding heights on the other side of the river. The reconnaissance will be as clear as possible. Once we take action, Pang Qing is not the key. The commanding heights on the other side of the river are the key."

If Pang Qing hoards food on the other side of the river, and when a special situation occurs, Pang Qing cuts off food supplies to Zhao Zhiguo and the others and deploys firepower at the commanding heights, they will surely pay a lot of casualties if they want to cross the river from the bridge.

That night, Pang Qing did not invite Zhao Zhiguo to the banquet, but he still sent Pang Tong to Zhao Zhiguo's barracks.

Pang Tong looked pitiful to Chu Chu again, and Zhao Zhiguo couldn't drive her back, so he could only let her sleep in his room like last night.

"Is it Pang Qing who is still evil or Pang Tong who is still evil?"

Gao Cang couldn't figure out whether this woman came for him or for Pang Qing.

"No matter what purpose she has, since she is willing to come, just leave her alone and keep her under surveillance."

Zhao Zhiguo didn't believe this woman.

"Should I ask where Pang Qing went during the day?"

Gao Cang was still very puzzled as to why Pang Qing was at home but didn't see them until more than forty minutes later.

"Even if she knew, she would definitely say she didn't know. She might even use this as a condition to negotiate with us. What conditions do you think you have to negotiate with her?"

"Is this girl so complicated and scheming?"

Pang Tong always cried in front of them, acting very weak and ignorant of the world. Gao Cang thought that this little girl was at most following Pang Qing's arrangements.

"I think your boy will die in the hands of a woman sooner or later. You will believe it when you see a beautiful woman."

"I don't have any. I just don't believe that in such a remote place, where people don't even have enough to eat, how can people be so evil-minded?"

"Those who are close to vermillion are red and those who are close to ink are black. How can I not have two brushes with Pang Qing? Moreover, the men she has served are all people who have achieved a certain status! Such a woman is probably very good at hiding her heart."

She received men at the age of fifteen. Although Zhao Zhiguo didn't know how many men she had been in contact with, Zhao Zhiguo never believed that such a woman was innocent and ignorant.

"It seems you really can't underestimate women!"

"If Pang Qingzhen makes some moves, I'm afraid he will in the next few days. I also want to see what he is capable of."

One of the things that Zhao Zhiguo was most worried about in Anyang Town was being blocked. If Pang Qing ordered not to let them cross the river, Zhao Zhiguo would not necessarily have to go far out. Without supplies, the troops would be like they were in the mountains again.

She spent two days peacefully, and Pang Tong still came over every night these two days. However, Zhao Zhiguo still ignored her.

Pang Tong no longer pestered Zhao Zhiguo, coming in the evening and leaving in the morning.

Two days later, Liu Qingsheng and Zhu Hongsi also returned. They still found no sign of human activity on Yao Mountain.

"Not only are there no people on the mountain, there is not even a decent road. Unless the other party has a small number of people, only a few dozen people, otherwise the supplies will not be able to get up to Yaoshan Mountain."
