On the school grounds of Yifeng County, nine hundred soldiers and horses gathered here. They had no idea why the county captain summoned them this time.,,
"Why did the county captain suddenly summon us?" "Who knows, we haven't gathered here for a long time."
"It seems that some high-ranking official from above has arrived, and the county captain personally came to greet him?"
Liu Qi appeared on the school field with more than a thousand people. Looking at the chaotic soldiers on the school field, Liu Qi glanced at the county captain. The county captain hurriedly shouted: "Quiet!" The chaotic school field became quiet, and the soldiers raised their heads to look.
Xiang Xianwei.
The county lieutenant said to everyone: "This is the deputy general of General Han Dang. I heard that the bandit Xu Sheng who was passing by our county this time helped us to eliminate the bandits for the sake of the people. All the people in Yifeng County must obey the orders of the deputy general."
." After saying that, he stood behind Liu Qi.
As soon as the county captain finished speaking, the originally silent campus became chaotic again.
"What? Han is the deputy general of the general. I didn't expect him to be so young."
"Ah, we have to kill Xu Sheng again. Last time I was almost killed by them. Can this deputy general kill Xu Sheng?"
"Haha, with this lieutenant commanding us, we will definitely be able to eliminate the bandits and avenge that one arrow."
"Shut up!" When we were having a lively discussion among the soldiers on the school grounds, Gan Ning stepped forward and shouted. Gan Ning's voice was much louder than that of the county captain, which made the soldiers' eardrums tremble, and they quickly closed their mouths.
He looked at Gan Ning with his mouth.
Gan Ning glanced down and said: "From now on, I will take charge of you. Food, clothing, marching and fighting will all be under my temporary command. No one is allowed to act alone. Everything needs to be reported to me. Violators will be punished as colluding with bandits."
."
"No." Although the soldiers felt that this was unnecessary, they had no choice but to bow in response after hearing Gan Ning's words.
"Stay where you are and no one is allowed to leave." Gan Ning ordered the soldiers. After speaking, he returned behind Liu Qi.
Liu Qi glanced at the listless soldiers below and asked, "Where are the weapons? Are there military crossbows in the county?"
The county captain heard Liu Qi's inquiry and said hurriedly: "All the weapons are stored in the armory. The general can get it now if he needs it. The county now has twenty military crossbows, fifty longbows, and five hundred arrows.
The weapons are stored together in the armory."
Liu Qi nodded and said: "Give Wang Yi the order. Wang Yi, please take people to get 900 weapons, 900 pieces of armor, and the general's crossbows, bows and arrows."
The county captain understood Liu Qi's words and said hurriedly: "Why bother the general with these small things? Just let these soldiers go."
Liu Qi glanced at the county lieutenant. The county lieutenant shrank his neck and cursed himself for being nosy. But Liu Qi said, "How do I know if there is Xu Sheng's spy in this?"
The county captain glanced at the nine hundred soldiers in shock and doubt. Liu Qi's words struck a chord in his heart. The last two times he went to encircle and suppress Xu Sheng, he did not expect that he had not known in advance that an ambush had been set on the road.
He lost his troops and lost his face. Now when he heard what Liu Qi said, he couldn't help but suspect that Xu Sheng's spy was really there, and his eyes changed when he looked at the nine hundred soldiers. He hurriedly handed the order to Wang Yi and obeyed the arrangements of the force.
.
Liu Qi took the county lieutenant's look into his eyes and secretly said that his guess was accurate. As a bandit, the safest way is not to hide deeply, but to set up an informant in your government to monitor the government's movements at any time. This is what Gan Ning told him.
. Looking at the expression on the county lieutenant's face now, I'm afraid it's true. The anticipation for Xu Sheng in my heart is a bit more intense.
"Bring the map of the county." Liu Qi ordered the county captain.
The county lieutenant did not dare to neglect, nor did he dare to trust the people around him to go and get it himself. Not long after, the county lieutenant ran over quickly and handed the map in his hand to Liu Qi. He panted and said: "My lord, this is the best ability in the county at present."
This is the most detailed map I have ever found. Even the military maps stolen by bandits cannot compare with this map. After I took office, I secretly ordered people to perfect the map of the county, even the narrow paths."
Liu Qi opened the map and took a look. As the county captain said, the map was really detailed. Even the creek where Liu Qi and the others came out of the mountain was on the map. However, this map only had the geography, mountains, rivers and roads of Yifeng County.
No other places were included. Liu Qi spread the map on the ground and asked, "Where does Xu Sheng usually move around, and where is his lair?"
The county lieutenant pointed to a mountain not far from the county seat of Yifeng County and said: "This mountain is called Qingmu Mountain. There is a kind of tree produced on the mountain. The whole body of this tree is green, so this mountain is called Qingmu Mountain. Xu Sheng's scope of activities
Generally, it is within a radius of ten miles of this mountain. Although I cannot wipe out Xu Sheng after I take office, he will not dare to be as unscrupulous as before. Therefore, as long as he does not come here for activities, I will not provoke him." After finishing speaking.
Somewhat ashamed.
Liu Qi nodded. Although the county captain failed to kill Xu Sheng twice, he was not incompetent. Just from the detailed map of this mansion, it can be seen that he did his best. Liu Qi continued to ask: "What about Xu Sheng?"
His lair is on the Cyanwood Mountain?"
The county lieutenant shook his head and said: "I don't know his specific lair, but it is definitely on the Cyanwood Mountain. And I also ordered people to go to this Cyanwood Mountain to find out the path. Unexpectedly, everyone said that there is no way up the Cyanwood Mountain.
, but I don’t know how Xu Sheng led his men in and out of Cyanwood Mountain?"
Liu Qi looked at Cyanwood Mountain and had no idea what to do. There was no place around Cyanwood Mountain where soldiers and horses could be hidden, which meant that as long as Liu Qi arrived here with his soldiers and horses, he would be discovered by the people on the mountain and evacuated in advance.
Suddenly Liu Qi looked at the small river in the south of Cyanwood Mountain and laughed. There are no other rivers around Cyanwood Mountain, only this small river. Then the source of this river must be in this Cyanwood Mountain. If this Cyanwood Mountain is like them in the mountains
There is a canyon in the mountain just like the village he encountered, so this river should be Xu Sheng's path in and out of Qingmu Mountain. However, Liu Qi is not sure. He needs to go around Qingmu Mountain to make a decision.
Liu Qi asked the county lieutenant about some things about Qingmu Mountain, and then saw Wang Yi leading the nine hundred soldiers and horses to the school grounds. The county lieutenant helped write the things and quickly distributed them to the soldiers, but the twenty military crossbows
It was not given to them but to Wang Yi's Flying Tiger Guards. The fifty bows were also given to Gan Ning and others by Liu Qi.
The nine hundred people in You County looked a bit like an army when they wore armor and weapons, but Liu Qi knew that they just looked like an army and their combat effectiveness would definitely not be very good when they were actually fighting. Fortunately, Liu Qi did not expect these people to deal with Xu.
Sheng. The main force against Xu Sheng was his Flying Tiger Guards and Eight Hundred Jinfan Thieves.
As for Xu Sheng, Liu Qi wanted to recruit Xu Sheng only if he wanted to let him know his strength first. Defeating Xu Sheng could show his strength on the one hand and completely conquer him on the other.
"Let's go!" Liu Qi gave an order and ordered the Feihu Guard to go forward, followed closely by the soldiers and horses of Jiubaiyou County. Gan Ning followed and left the city towards Qingmu Mountain.
………………
Just after Liu Qi called for more than 900 people to open the city gate and enter the city, a young man quickly left You County and headed towards Qingmu Mountain. Half an hour later, the man arrived at Qingmu Mountain, tied his horse at the foot of the mountain, and walked into the mountain to wander around.
He disappeared after a few moments. A quarter of an hour later, the man appeared in a cottage on the top of Qingmu Mountain. This cottage was Xu Sheng's old lair.
This man walked to the front of the village and shouted: "I am Qi Qiang. I have something important to report to the village master. Please open the gate of the village quickly."
Not long after, a man walked out of the village and said, "It's Qi Qiang. The village master is already waiting for you. Go quickly." After saying that, he shouted to the side: "Open the village gate."
The village gate opened, Qi Qiang quickly ran into the village and came to the main hall. He saw a twenty-seven or eight-year-old young man sitting on the main hall. When Qi Qiang saw the young man, he hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "See the leader of the village."
This person is none other than Xu Sheng.
Xu Sheng glanced at Qi Qiang and said, "Is there any important news?"
Qi Qiang said: "Today at noon, a group of people entered the city. There were about nine hundred people in this group. Each of them was riding a fast horse, and they were the best horses. It should be a young man from a certain family who was passing through Yifeng County when he was out hunting.
."
After Qi Qiang finished speaking, Xu Sheng was silent for a while and said: "Let the brothers prepare. Finally, a group of fat sheep came, but we can't just let them fly away."
Qi Qiang was overjoyed at first and then worried: "Will the Yifeng County magistrate interfere? If the dog officer intervenes, it will be difficult to get these horses."
Xu Sheng shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter, even if he interferes in this matter, I will kill him. Without horses, we can only move around Qingmu Mountain. If we get horses, we can move around in several counties around here.
The oil and water will be larger and safer."
When Qi Qiang heard Xu Sheng's words, he said nothing and went down to order the people in the village to assemble.
