The messenger
"Hongyan Mountain, this is a major transportation route. If Daxia wants to go east and south to Daqi, or to go north to Daliao, they all need to pass through this place. Daxia passes through the bridgehead of the Western Regions. If the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions want to do business with Daqi, they must also pass the road near Hongyan Mountain..."
"As a result, the Hongyan bandits used this to fatten themselves."
Luo Fengtang frowned and said, "Since the Hongyan bandits are entrenched near Hongyan Mountain and have influenced so many important national trade routes, why not see a large army coming to wipe out?"
If it were in the territory of Daqi, such as the Red Rock Bandits, it would have been logically wiped out, and it would be impossible for them to become so big.
"The ones close to Hongyan Mountain are the Daxia Kingdom and the nearby grassland tribes Korqin tribes. They have tried to eliminate the Hongyan bandits, but they all failed."
Qiqige sighed.
"Daxia once sent a general to lead tens of thousands of people to suppress the bandits, but was dragged down by the Hongyan bandits in the mountains. In the end, the money and food were exhausted and they returned empty-handed. The Korqin tribe... I'm afraid that someone inside colluded with the Hongyan bandits. Every time a large army was sent, the Hongyan bandits disappeared in the mountains and could not find their traces."
"There is no suitable army to be stationed near Hongyan Mountain for a long time. There are two dry and wet seasons here. Once the dry season is coming, strong winds will blow from the grasslands, and the grass witheres, and the army will be difficult to survive due to lack of water... There are few bandits in the Hongyan Mountain and are familiar with the mountain roads. They can hide in the valleys in the mountains to survive. After the most dangerous winds in the dry season, they can plunder outside again."
Luo Fengtang didn't know much about the Hongyan bandits, but there was a key point in his character, that is, there was a collusion with the Hongyan bandits within the Korqin tribe.
Originally, the climate here was harsh. If someone informed him internally, it would be difficult to eliminate the Hongyan bandits.
"If Qinggeertai and the Hongyan bandits reached some kind of agreement this time and wanted 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, I have received information that there are tens of thousands of people, but there are only about four thousand people who can fight, and the rest are their families." Qiqige said.
"They still have family members? Are you not afraid that others will use their family members as threats?" Luo Fengtang said in confusion.
You should know that the biggest advantage of this kind of horse thief is their flexibility and easy transfer when encountering danger.
If there is family, it is a huge weakness of them. It will not be difficult to destroy them.
"Their family is hidden in the deep mountains. As long as someone enters the mountains, they can move. They can't catch them. General Daxia tried it back then, but in the end they failed. They were exhausted in the mountains and almost wiped out the entire army in the mountains." Qiqige said.
After hearing this, Luo Fengtang remembered the guerrilla tactics that Yang Ruoqing once said. It seems that these Red Rock bandits are carrying out guerrilla tactics.
At this moment, he suddenly developed a strong curiosity about the Hongyan bandits. How did this group of people who were called evil thieves outside survive in the mountains?
The real years in the mountains will never be as pastoral as most people think. They are the norm for poverty and backwardness, especially food shortages and a large amount of medicines, which are even more difficult to obtain.
It is really not easy for Red Rock bandits to survive in the barren Red Rock Mountain.
"But...it's not impossible to leave." Qi Qige raised his eyebrows.
"You have a way?"
The solution Luo Fengtang was to take advantage of his unpreparedness and break out by himself.
However, he was a way to break through, and it was only suitable for him. As long as he ignited Taizu's bloodline, he single-handedly looked for their weak links, and escaped while the night was shining. That was absolutely no problem.
But what's the use of breaking out by himself?
If Qiqige and his group were buried in Hongyan Mountain, it means that his plan for the layout of the Iron Tooth Gold Point has completely failed, and even if he goes out, he will face an extremely difficult situation.
He wouldn't do this if it was absolutely necessary.
Therefore, let the problem be considered first.
...
Changping Village.
Because of Li Jia's purpose, Yang Huazhong did not dig a hoe into the ground, but he delayed the time outside before he came back excitedly.
At home, Sun looked around the roadside at the entrance of the yard, and caught every villager who came back from the south and asked: "Did you see the door in my house?"
"No, I didn't see Yang Lizheng, what's wrong?"
"No, he went to the south to go to the ground and hasn't come back for breakfast yet!"
"Haha, I really didn't pay attention. Maybe Yang Li is on the way back. Aunt, don't wait a little longer, it's almost the same..."
"Well, don't worry, then you can go home and have a meal."
In this way, Sun stopped several villagers to inquire, but no news about Yang Huazhong was found without exception.
Just when Sun was wondering if he would go to the south to go to the ground but to go to the ground differently, under the old maple tree at the entrance of the village, who could the tall figure coming here with a hoe and agile pace?
And he raised his hand and waved at her for a long time, looking in a good mood. What kind of happy event has he encountered?
Sun quickly went up to meet him and helped to pick up the hoe. However, Yang Huazhong did not refuse to let her take it as usual. Instead, he took the initiative to put the hoe in her hand and said to her: "You go home first and have breakfast with your mother. I keep my part. I have something to do, so I have to go and find Yongjin quickly, otherwise he will look back at Haixian in the afternoon!"
"What's so urgent? You can't go and say it after eating?" Sun asked.
This morning she made noodle soup. After a long time, the gnocchi paste was pasted in the pot. Although it was edible, it seriously affected the taste.
Yang Huazhong smiled mysteriously, "It's not only urgent, but also much more important."
Facing Sun's curious gaze, Yang Huazhong couldn't help but whisper a few words in her ear.
Now, Sun wanted to throw her breakfast aside and go to Yang Huazhong to find Yang Yongjin and Cao Bamei. But she couldn't leave it because Tan was still there at home, so she had to go back to take care of her mother-in-law for dinner.
I had such a big fuss yesterday, and the old lady seemed to be in a low mood. She didn't eat last night and didn't pay much attention to anyone.
"Tsk tsk, it's better that you two have a good relationship, and you even whisper..."
A woman's teasing laughter came not far behind her.
A few women who were good to Sun came out of the village together, carrying baskets and basins in their hands, and they should have come to wash.
Yang Huazhong grinned, Sun blushed and spat: "It's all an old husband and wife, look at what you said, have you eaten breakfast?"
