6292 - The messenger

"Hongyan Mountain, here is the main road of traffic. If Daxia wants to go east and south to Daqi, or go north to Daliao, he needs to pass through this place, and Daxia passes through the bridgehead of the Western Regions. The 36 countries in the Western Regions want to cooperate with Daqi. If you want to do business together, you must also pass the road near Hongyan Mountain..."

"Thus, the Red Rock bandits have fattened themselves up."

Luo Fengtang frowned and said, "Since the Hongyan bandits are entrenched near Hongyan Mountain, affecting so many important commercial routes of the country, why don't you see the army come and wipe them out?"

If it were within the territory of Daqi, big thieves like the Hongyan bandits would have been exterminated. It would be impossible for them to grow to such an extent.

"Near the Red Rock Mountain is the Great Xia Kingdom and the Horqin Tribe, a grassland tribe nearby. They all tried to wipe out the Red Rock bandits, but they all failed."

Qiqige sighed.

"Big Xia once sent a general to lead tens of thousands of bandits to suppress the bandits, but was dragged down by the Red Rock bandits in the mountains. In the end, they ran out of money and food, and returned without success. The Horqin tribe... I am afraid that someone inside is colluding with the Hongyan bandits. , Every time a large army is sent out, the Red Rock bandits disappear into the mountains, and there is no trace of them at all."

"The vicinity of Hongyan Mountain is not suitable for long-term stationing of troops. There are two seasons of dry and wet here. Once the dry season comes, strong winds will blow from the grasslands, and the grass will wither. The army will have difficulty surviving due to lack of water... Red Rock Bandits They are few and familiar with the mountain roads, so they can hide in the valleys in the mountains to survive, and after the most dangerous winds in the dry season pass, they can go outside to plunder again.”

Luo Fengtang didn't know much about Hongyan bandits, but there was a key point in Qiqige's words, that is, there was collusion between Horqin tribe and Hongyan bandits.

Originally, the weather here was bad, and if someone from inside tipped off the news, it would be difficult to wipe out the Red Rock bandits.

"If, this time, Qing Getai and the Red Rock bandits have reached some kind of agreement, and they want to come to us, how should we escape?" Luo Fengtang asked.

It is impossible to confront the Red Rock bandits head-on.

"The Hongyan bandits, according to the information I got, there are tens of thousands of them, but only about 4000 of them are capable of fighting, and the rest are their family members." Qi Qige said.

"They still have family members? Aren't they afraid that others will threaten their family members?" Luo Fengtang asked suspiciously.

You know, the biggest advantage of this kind of horse thief is their flexibility, and they can easily transfer when they encounter danger.

If there are family members, that is their great weakness, and it is not difficult to destroy them.

"Their family members are hidden in the deep mountains. As long as someone enters the mountains, they can be transferred. If they can't catch them, General Daxia tried it back then, but failed. They were exhausted in the mountains, and the entire army was almost wiped out in the end. In the mountains." Qi Qige said.

After hearing this, Luo Fengtang remembered the guerrilla tactics that Yang Ruoqing once said. It seems that these Hongyan bandits are implementing guerrilla tactics.

At this moment, he suddenly had a strong curiosity about the Red Rock bandits. How did this group of people known as villains survive in the mountains.

The real years in the mountains will never be as idyllic as most people imagine. Barrenness and backwardness are their normal state, especially food shortages and large quantities of medicines are even more difficult to obtain.

It is really not easy for the Red Rock Bandit to survive in the barren Red Rock Mountain.

"But... it's not impossible to leave." Qi Qige raised his eyebrows.

"Do you have a solution?"

The way Luo Fengtang thought in his mind was to take advantage of the unpreparedness and rush out by himself.

However, his method of breaking through is only suitable for himself. As long as he ignites the blood of the great ancestors, finds their weak links by himself, and escapes in the dark, it will be absolutely fine.

But, what's the use of him breaking out alone.

If Qi Qige and his party were all buried in Hongyan Mountain, it meant that his plan for the layout of the Iron Teeth and Golden Tent had completely failed, and even if he went out, he would face an extremely difficult situation.

It's not a last resort, he wouldn't do it.

Therefore, let Qiqige think about this problem first.

……

Changping Village.

Because of Li Jia's intention to come, Yang Huazhong didn't even dig a hoe into the ground, but he wasted an hour outside before rushing back excitedly.

At home, Mrs. Sun was looking around on the side of the road at the gate of the yard, catching every villager who came back from the south and asking: "Did you see my family?"

"No, I didn't see Yang Lizheng, what's the matter?"

"It's okay, he went to the south to work in the fields, and he hasn't come back for breakfast yet!"

"Haha, I really didn't notice, maybe Yang Li is on his way back, don't worry, auntie, just wait a little longer..."

"Well, don't be in a hurry, then you should go home and have dinner."

In this way, Sun stopped several villagers to inquire, and without exception, there was no news of Yang Huazhong.

Just when Mrs. Sun wondered if he would not go to the south to work in the field but diverted to another place to work in the field, under the old maple tree at the entrance of the village, the tall figure who was walking towards this side with a hoe was not him, who else could it be? Woolen cloth?
And after a long distance, he raised his hand and waved towards her, looking in a good mood, what kind of happy event is this?
Mrs. Sun rushed to meet her and helped her pick up the hoe, but Yang Huazhong didn't let her take it as usual, instead he put the hoe in her hand and said to her: "Go home and have breakfast with your mother first." , keep mine, I have something to do, I have to go to Yongjin quickly, otherwise he will return to Wanghai County in the morning!"

"Why are you in such a hurry? Why don't you talk about it after eating?" Sun asked.

She made gnocchi soup this morning. After a long time, the gnocchi became lumpy in the pot, although it was still edible, but it seriously affected the taste.

Yang Huazhong smiled mysteriously, "Urgent, not only urgent, but also much more urgent."

Facing Sun's curious eyes, Yang Huazhong couldn't help but whispered a few words in her ear.

Now, Mrs. Sun could not wait to throw her breakfast aside and go to find Yang Yongjin and Cao Bamei with Yang Huazhong.But she can't lose it, because Mrs. Tan is still at home, and she has to go back and take care of her mother-in-law for dinner.

There was such a big fuss yesterday, the old lady seemed to be in a low mood, she didn't eat last night, and she didn't pay much attention to others.

"Tsk tsk, you two have a good relationship, and you even whispered..."

A woman's teasing laughter came from not far behind.

A few women who are close friends with the Sun family came out of the village together, carrying baskets and basins in their hands, they should have come to wash.

Yang Huazhong grinned, Sun blushed, and spat: "I'm an old couple, see what you said, have you had breakfast yet?"
