Pan Changsuo led his army back to Guixian and was warmly welcomed by the remaining people.
They cried and howled to the heavens, filled with regret, and finally knew who were their relatives and who were their enemies.
"If we don't eliminate these chieftains, they will still dominate the big guys, and the big guys won't have a good life. Do you think this is true?"
With the cooperation of Pan Changsuo, the new Guixian County Magistrate Liu Erzhe performed a heart-breaking performance, which won the full support of all the people.
These people, whose families had been ruined, completely hated the chieftain. They leaked important information one after another without even asking the National Defense Forces to ask.
Facts have proved that no one knows the situation of a place better than the people at the grassroots level.
According to the intelligence, Pan Changsuo got an important piece of information.
The original chieftain of Guixian County, Nong Caihua, was hidden in the Beishan Temple area in the mountains to the north of Guixian County.
Not only that, the common people were also willing to act as guides and lead the way for the army.
This is equivalent to helping the National Defense Forces to open up the fog and understand the situation in the mountains.
Pan Changsuo made a decisive decision and immediately led his army to attack Beishan Temple with the help of his guide.
Nong Caihua has settled in Guixian for generations, and about 80% of the local land belongs to him. This time, he was driven to the mountains by the National Defense Forces, and his land and house were confiscated, causing him heavy losses.
He always wanted to attack back and regain his property.
The last time, under the command of Lin Dansan, chieftain wolf soldiers rushed into Guixian County and burned, killed and looted wantonly. His methods were the most brutal.
He fully thought that under the butcher's knife, he would be able to frighten those honest mud-legged people.
I didn't expect that this would actually force the people to rebel.
When the National Defense Forces came, he didn't care at first. He only thought that relying on the vast mountains could make the National Defense Forces suffer a bloody blow and return without success.
But when urgent battle reports came back again and again, and one dangerous pass after another was captured by the National Defense Forces, he completely panicked.
"Hurry up and send someone to send a message to Mr. Big Wolf and ask him to send troops to support you."
Nong Caihua led the remaining troops to defend Beishan Temple, and at the same time he was eager for Lin Dansan to lead his army to reinforce.
Little did he know that Lin Dansan had too much time to take care of himself at this time.
Based on accurate intelligence, the First Division of the 15th Division crossed the mountain path overnight and suddenly appeared at Qishishi.
This place is the only narrow plain among the mountains, and people usually live and farm here.
After the chieftains entered the mountains, they occupied this place and relied on the meager output to sustain their lives.
No one thought that the National Defense Forces would be so bold and dare to attack here regardless of the dense defenses in the mountains.
The chieftains were caught off guard and had no time to organize a defense, so they collapsed on the spot.
The National Defense Forces hunted for a while and made a lot of gains. They burned all the food and materials stored in the village, and then walked away.
Although the chieftains returned here again, they all felt despair when faced with the strange rocks that had been burned to white ground.
The autumn grain has been burned by the National Defense Forces, and the rice seedlings in the fields have just sprouted, far from the time of harvest.
What will they eat and drink for the rest of the day?
The panicked chieftains rushed to find Lin Dansan, hoping that the big wolf would be able to find a solution or help.
When Lin Dansan received the news, his scalp became numb.
Although he has been operating in the mountains for a long time and has built a castle, the food on hand is only enough to maintain his own troops. If he supports other chieftains, it will not be enough, and his own people will starve to death.
"Everyone, please be patient. When I find a perfect solution, I will definitely not deprive everyone of their benefits."
Facing his perfunctory, the chieftains didn't say anything on the surface, but they were full of dissatisfaction in their hearts.
At first, everyone believed in you, so they followed you to fight against the National Defense Forces. Now everyone is in trouble, but you do nothing to save them.
In the face of practical difficulties, people's hearts quietly changed.
Chieftain Wei Sheng of Baima Chong quietly found Dai Yaoqing.
"Sir Dai, Lin Dansan has acted in a perverse way and only cared about his own family. Now he has caused every family to become alienated. This is definitely not a blessing to our local people. I have heard of your benevolence and righteousness, can you think of a way to contact the National Defense Forces?"
Dai Yaoqing was now trapped among the wolves, isolated and helpless, and didn't know what to do. Hearing that Wei Sheng wanted to rebel, he immediately realized that this was a God-given opportunity.
"Lin Dansan is very guarded against me and cannot move. If Wei Lang always has the intention, I will write a letter and you will find a way to send it out of the mountain. I believe that you can atone for your sins and have a worry-free future."
Wei Sheng was overjoyed and quickly agreed.
At that time, Dai Yaoqing wrote a thoughtful letter, introducing the situation in the mountains in detail, and handed it to Wei Sheng.
As one of the chieftains, Wei Sheng had his own territory, so he naturally had freedom of movement.
In order to keep it secret, he specially sent his son Weida to go down the mountain in person and find the National Defense Forces.
Yan Hongshan personally met with Wei Da.
"It's gratifying that your father and son have come to their senses. The empire never hesitates to reward those who have made meritorious deeds. Go back and tell your father that although your family can no longer make a living by enslaving people after the reform, the empire can provide more and better things.
A way to make money.”
Duan Zhongdao hurriedly added: "Glass, cement and other businesses can be handed over to your family as an agent, or even the only general agent in the province."
Although Wei Da is a toast, he still knows these best-selling products very well. Hearing that he could get the opportunity to sell as an agent, he was really overjoyed.
How can the output of that little land be compared with such a business?
He didn't even need to go back to discuss it with his father, he agreed on the spot.
And the information he provided was even more helpful to the National Defense Forces.
Only then did the National Defense Force know that Lin Dansan's hometown was not in the mountains, but at Bitanbao on the bank of the Qianjiang River.
This place is the intersection of Qianjiang River and Shuangmian River, so its geographical location is very important.
Lin Dansan built a strong castle here, set up cards to collect taxes, and made a lot of money.
As long as he captures this place, Lin Dansan will definitely suffer heavy losses and will be unable to survive.
However, the location of Bitanbao is very dangerous. There is no way except the Qianjiang River Waterway. Even on the top of the mountain on the other side of the river, it is difficult to climb, let alone mount a cannon.
If you want to defeat it, you still need some methods.
Yan Hongshan set his sights on the Wei family and his son.
"Are you willing to serve as an internal agent and cover our army's assault on Bitan Castle?"
The Wei family has received great benefits, so why wouldn't Wei Da be unwilling?
"Thank you general for giving us father and son the opportunity to atone for our sins. It just so happens that there is a shortage of food in the village. I can ask for help in the name of food and grass and go to Bitanbao. Your army will cover up a little and follow me. Lin Dansan should be caught off guard.
