Chapter 220 The Big Black Tiger in the Mountain

Barracks, school grounds!
Li Yao galloped on his horse, bowed left and right, and shot four arrows in succession. Each arrow hit the bull's-eye with precision, causing cheers from all around.

Archery is the skill that Li Yao is best at and has put the most effort into. Naturally, it needs to be practiced frequently to maintain the feel.

At this time, Li Yao saw the scouts from the army coming quickly, and then stood still outside the school grounds, without yelling loudly, without attracting the attention of others, so he stopped practicing and went outside the school grounds instead.

Turning over from the horse, he handed the bow in his hand to the soldiers, then waved his hand, signaling the scouts to come over, and when the opponents approached, Li Yao said:

"Tell me, what happened?"

After the words fell, the scout saluted first, and then said in a deep voice:

"General, there are people peeping outside the barracks. Do we need to kill them, or send someone to monitor and follow them, and ask the general to decide?"

Hearing this, Li Yao's spirits perked up. During this period of time, they have been staking land, grabbing any field they saw, but they offended many people. Now normal is the biggest abnormality, and abnormality is the biggest normality.

Someone peeped, indicating that someone couldn't help it, so Li Yao immediately said:

"Don't startle them, send someone to follow them secretly, find out where these people come from and what's their purpose?"

The scout immediately responded when he heard the words:

"Follow the order!"

After finishing speaking, he quickly turned around and left. There are two elites in the army, one is scouts, and the other is the guard of the general. As elites in the army, these scouts are very professional in hunting and tracking.

After the scouts left, Li Yao said to the soldiers around him:

"Notify all the generals above Sima in the army to come to the big tent to discuss matters immediately!"

The soldiers on the left and right responded loudly:

"Follow the order!"

But at this time, the corner of Li Yao's mouth turned up slightly, he wanted to build a foundation, instead of trying to compromise with the local forces, it would be better to wipe out all the local forces.

Land and population are the most important, as for the powerful families in the middle, they are just dispensable.

……

After today, the entire barracks is loose and tight on the outside, and it looks like there is no change on the surface, but the army is being quickly reorganized inside, checking armor, weapons, serving horses with food and drink, and gathering a 5000 infantry.

Li Yao thought that there would be a battle soon, but for the next half a month, it was still calm. Sure enough, some trash wanted to make trouble, it was simply wishful thinking.

It wasn't until half a month later that things changed...

Lantian Valley!

A team is marching fast. Their formation is scattered and stretched very long. Although there are many people, their quality is really worrying.

After all, they are a group of robbers. If they could have the same military quality as the fighting army, then the court would have been overthrown long ago.

In this team, the vast majority of people are walking, only a few people are riding horses, and among these people riding horses is Cang Yeju Dajia, Zhou Hu.

Of course, some people nearby, because of Zhou Hu's persecution, also called him the big black tiger in the mountains.

He is tall and strong. After all, he was born as a butcher. He has eaten well since he was a child, and he is tall and strong. Without a good body, he cannot be a bandit leader.

Zhou Hu has a scar on his face. When he speaks, the scar will move, but it is quite penetrating. Holding a big knife, he threatened:
"There will be a war soon. You must remember that what you promised to give me is three hundred gold worth of salt, iron, cloth, and ten thousand shi of grain. If you go back on your word, don't blame me for being rude!"

Zhang Hao felt loathing and contempt for this greedy Zhou Hu. A mere bandit leader, no matter what his background or status, dared to be so arrogant, but now he had something to ask, so he could only fold his hands and laugh:

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhou, our Patriarch is a well-known person who is light on money and heavy on promises. He will never go back on his words and deeds!"

Zhou Hu chuckled when he heard this, originally he was going to confront Guan Jun, but he wanted to refuse from the beginning, but the other party offered too much.

Three hundred gold of salt, iron, cloth, and ten thousand shi of grain, as long as they succeed this time, they won't need to go down the mountain to plunder for a long time.

Zhou Hu has [-] subordinates, which is actually very small. Those who can really fight and dare to fight are only the [-] closest brothers around him, and the rest are farmers and mountain people who were coerced.

This is not enough for him to go head-to-head with the officers and soldiers, but these powerful clans not only gave money, food, and manpower, but also gathered 8000 troops, a total of more than [-] people, and it is not an exaggeration to be called an army of [-] people.

They became more courageous, and only then dared to take the initiative to send troops, and made a plan to attack at night, and break through the Lantian camp while the other party was sleeping.

The idea is beautiful, but the reality may not be so beautiful.

Entering the middle of the Lantian Valley, Zhou Hu asked people to stop, and then ordered:

"All brothers, rest well, don't start fires, don't run around, after dark, we will go to the military camp, and let the people in the court know that the big black tiger in my mountain is very powerful!"

Hearing the words, Zhang Hao exaggerated:
"It's a pity that the master is well versed in the art of war but has become a bandit. It's also because the court has no knowledge of people. If the master has become a general, the court will not always lose battles now!"

When Zhou Hu heard this, he was very happy. Seeing Zhang Hao getting more and more pleasing to the eye, he waved his hand casually and said:
"I don't want to serve the imperial court. I just accidentally killed someone, but the government wants to arrest me to pay for my life. Hmph, I'm not uncommon for letting me be a general!"

Everyone around echoed, all kinds of compliments, all kinds of compliments, as if Zhou Hu is really a famous general.

Cang Yeju is too small, so small that they can no longer see the complete sky, thinking that the sky is only so big, just so small, and with a little knowledge, they should not go down the mountain this time, otherwise they will just die at the bottom of the mountain.

On the other side, it is probably near the mouth of Lantian Valley.

Li Yao learned from the scouts that the enemy army has entered the middle of the Lantian Valley and is recharging their energy, planning to wait until dark.

That's right, every move of these bandits never escaped the surveillance of the military scouts.

The two sides are not at the same level, not at the same level in every aspect.

Li Yao couldn't help but shook his head secretly, if he was really taken to the barracks by these bandits, he should take his brothers, ride horses, and flee back to Liangzhou.

Immediately Li Yao said:

"Yan Xing!"

Yan Xing quickly stepped out, looked at Li Yao and said:

"The end is here!"

Then Li Yao looked at Yan Xing and said:

"Although there are many enemy troops this time, they are just bandits. I will give you a chance to lead [-] cavalry first. When I arrive with [-] infantry, you must defeat them. Can you do it?"

Yan Xing's eyes were hot when he heard the words, and he replied loudly:
"The end will be able to do it!"

Three thousand cavalry, one thousand righteous followers, and two thousand Hu cavalry. Although there were many casualties, the formation was still complete.

Yan Xing was extremely excited, Li Yao had a lot of trust in him, he couldn't let Li Yao down.
