Chapter 110 Departure
Liu Xia stood on the broken city wall of Qiu County, looking at the vast army gradually moving away, carrying her hands and silent.
The army divided into three directions and set out for Yuntianling in three different directions.
In the following period, the defense line will be arranged around Yuntianling, and the mountain thieves will be completely trapped on Yuntianling.
The three-way army, with Song Yuanshan as the general on the left road, blocking the west side of Yuntianling, and Liu Hongtao as the main commander on the east road, blocking the east and north side of Yuntianling.
The middle road takes Duan Lingxiao as the general, blocking the southern wing of Yuntian Forest. The Yuntianling on the south side is a cliff, which is the safest and the last way to escape for mountain thieves.
It takes about three days to arrange the defense line and build fortifications.
In the past three days, Liu Xia is ready to go to Yuntianling in person to see how fierce those mountain thieves have been.
"I said, when are we leaving?"
Dabao asked curiously.
"When the army is far away, we will leave. Go back and clean it up."
After Liu Xia finished speaking, she turned around and went down the city wall.
After returning to the post station, he settled down Liu Liansheng. In less than half an hour, Liu Xia's motorcade slowly set out from the post station.
Seeing Liu Xia's motorcade leave, the officials in Qiu County took a long breath.
When Liu Xia stayed in Qiu County for a day, they felt as if they could move at any time, and they were trembling one by one.
Song Qingming was the representative official who came out to see him off. Now watching Liu Xia's motorcade go out of the city gate, everyone's tears of excitement were about to fall down.
Song Qingming, who stood in front of the crowd, looked at the back of Liu Xia's motorcade and couldn't help showing a sneer at the corners of his mouth.
"It's a good show. It's only starting now. Humph, Prince Weiyuan, you can't beat me in the end."
Thinking of this, Song Qingming saw a flying eagle hovering in the sky, and he turned around and walked towards the city.
Liu Xia's motorcade walked on the potholed official road and walked for about three hours before arriving at the foot of Yuntianling Mountain.
I heard that Yuntianling has never been here before. Looking around, the huge maple trees in Yuntianling are as gorgeous as the sunset glow.
The continuous peaks can't be seen at a glance. Under the fog of Ge Ge, the smoke waves are vast and extremely spectacular.
"It's a good place. If there are no mountain thieves, it's an ideal place to build a sect."
Liu Xia nodded and said.
"Yes, there are mountains and rivers here, and the scenery is really good."
Cai Wei also echoed.
It's just that today's Cai Wei and Yao Wenxin have changed into men's clothes, which looks heroic and particularly charming.
"Rian Sheng, you take the rest of the people to the Central Army to meet. Be careful on the road."
Liu Xia told him.
"Yes."
At present, Liu Liansheng held his fist and took the rest of the people to the distance.
Liu Xia and Dabao have changed into ordinary people's clothes with patches on them. At first glance, they are somewhat similar to the local woodcutter.
The four people then headed for the mountain forest.
On Yuntianling, there are more than 30 cottages on the periphery. Most of them are located in a relatively obvious position, which is convenient for them to access. Naturally, these cottages are the first target to be annihilated.
The purpose of going up the mountain is to explore the real strength of these cottages.
These jobs should have been done by military spies, but Liu Xia is not sure of them.
Liu Xia is confident that with the four of them, it should not be a big problem to go in and out of Yuntianling.
Less than half an hour after walking in the mountain forest, Liu Xia found a secret whistle. I didn't know it was the spy of the cottage.
Immediately, Liu Xia signaled that Dabao and Yao asked them, and they were all hidden.
"Brother Wang, do you think the court is serious this time? I heard that Prince Weiyuan gathered 100,000 people this time. It has been started today.
At this moment, a young man under the age of 20 hid in a tree and said.
The big tree is towering, with a total of four people hiding from it.
"What are you afraid of? It's not that the court has never been encircled! I think this time, this time is no different from the past. At worst, we hide in Heifengzhai. I still don't believe that the army of the imperial court can capture Heifengzhai.
At this time, a middle-aged man said.
"Oh, have you heard that the court is full of notices at the foot of the mountain today. Yes, if we edict, everything will not be blamed. Moreover, they also put forward a policy of appeasement this time. As long as we can rest assured that we love weapons and go out to surrender, we can be divided into fields. I think this is good."
"Bullshit, what do you know? Hasn't the imperial court not been edicted in the past few years? Wasn't Liu Daqi be edicted during the last encirclement and suppressing? But what happened later? Haven't you been tortured to death? Some of his brothers have a good end.
"Yes, yes, yes, I have been following Liu Da's stupid military master Wang Enyi. In the end, didn't he become a mountain thief again? Those dog officials don't treat us as human beings at all. Even if it is edicted, isn't it going to be angered by those dog officials?
"That is, if it weren't for those dog officials, we wouldn't be mountain thieves. Anyway, I can't believe what the court said. Whoever likes to go will go. Even if I die here, I won't go down the mountain.
The middle-aged man said again.
When Liu Xia hid in the dark and heard this, she understood it in her heart.
At first, I thought that these mountain thieves would be very cooperative, but now it seems that this problem is too simple.
If those corrupt officials are not eliminated, I'm afraid there will be no peace here forever.
At this time, Liu Xia quietly winked, and the four people quietly left here.
There is already a sentry post here, which means that it is not far from the cottage here.
Sure enough, without much effort, Liu Xia found the first cottage.
Originally, I imagined that this cottage should be richer. After all, these people are robbers and will not be more difficult than the people at the foot of the mountain.
But when he saw the cottage, he was still shocked by the scene in front of him.
The cottage in front of us is very small, and I'm afraid the number of people is no more than 100.
There are not only mountain thieves, but also many people in it. If not, there are all the families, old people and children of these mountain thieves.
These mountain thieves are also wearing rags and rags, and their faces are yellow and thin. Obviously, they are as poor as the people at the foot of the mountain.
This cottage is a simple mess. Not to mention the fortifications. It is nothing more than some wooden fences. More than 30 grass houses are their camps. If it weren't for the patched flag, they would have thought they were refugees.
After marking the location and number of people of the cottage, Liu Xia and the others left here.
On the way, everyone's mood was very complicated.
They say that they are mountain thieves, and they do rob houses. However, looking at their lives, I'm afraid they are not much better than the people at the foot of the mountain.
Then, the four of them circled around the mountain and found more than 30 cottages, large and small. The number of people in each cottage was not the same. However, Liu Xia also found some useful information.
These cottages seem to be scattered sand, but in fact, they all vaguely take Heifengzhai as the leader.
Whether it is Juyi Gang or Tianlongzhai, even these small cottages are inextricably related to Heifengzhai.
Heifengzhai is dominant on this mountain and is vaguely the leader of these mountain thieves.
It's just that among them, Tianlongzhai and his subordinates' cottages and Heifengzhai don't seem to deal with each other. The two gangs often get along and kill each other. The Juyi gang in the cracks is obviously facing a dilemma.
However, these were all accompanied by the pressure of the army of the Tianji Dynasty, and the internal sup seemed to have temporarily subsided.
Liu Xia knows that if you make good use of this opportunity, you can get twice the result with half the effort.
Of course, this is not the point. The point is that Liu Xia listens to Heifeng Village the most. I can't help but want to go to this Heifeng Village.
So, it was the person who changed his direction and went straight to the depths of Yuntianling.
I heard that Heifengzhai is located under the peak of Wuwang, in the middle of the first-line gorge, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
At midnight, Liu Xia and others arrived at the periphery of the first-line gorge.
Hiding in the dark, Liu Xia looked up. This line gorge is really a God-given treasure.
The mountains of Yuntianling are undulating, and around the Wuwang Peak, the terrain is more steep.
Not far from Wuwang Peak, there is a natural basin. This basin is wrapped in green mountains around it, and only a gap is exposed. Now the Black Wind Village is there, and fortifications have been arranged.
Looking at the fortress, Liu Xia couldn't help but be stunned.
This place is so barren, but the fortress is so solid that it is hard to imagine that there will be such a thing here.
Compared with other cottages, this Heifengzhai is more like a military fortress, and Liu Xia found that the mountain thieves of Heifengzhai actually had the armor of the army and weapons made by the army.
This is a little incredible.
"Let's sneak in and have a look."
Liu Xia said in a low voice.
Immediately, the four people quietly reached the edge of a broken wall. At that moment, Liu Xia pulled out the power of heaven, stepped on it in an instant, and went straight to the sky.
When he fell to the top of the mountain and dodged the sentry there, he put down the rope.
Cai Wei and Da Bao quickly went up the mountain, and then quietly dived along the plank road to the camp of Heifengzhai.
After arriving at the camp, Liu Xia found that there was a bandit's nest, which was obviously a military camp.
Although the neat buildings built along the triangle are not magnificent, it can also be seen that the financial resources of this black wind village should not be underestimated.
The patrolling soldiers are everywhere. Obviously, they are also in a state of combat readiness.
What makes Liu Xia feel even more incredible is that this is like a city. There are shops and private houses in it. Generally, there is no shortage of houses in the city.
Seeing all this, Liu Xia knew that the money obtained by these mountain thieves alone could not maintain their huge expenses at all.
It seems that there must be foreign aid supporting them. Thinking of this, Liu Xia thought of the Onmyoji Association.
I thought of Tuoba Lingyun.
It is estimated that the money of the Onmyoji Association has flowed here in nine cases out of ten, and there must be some family or chamber of commerce to provide them with such powerful equipment and materials.
"Let's go. Let's get out of here."
Liu Xia said in a low voice.
At this moment, the four people were ready to return the same way. However, at this time, someone suddenly shouted, "Come on, there is a detailed work here. Catch them."
Suddenly, the sound of dense gongs sounded.
