With Shen Huaiyu's matchmaking, the meeting between Bian Yansong and Captain Ma went smoothly.

Just as Shen Huaiyu said, Captain Ma had long wanted to deal with that group of bandits, and Bian Yansong's request just suited his taste.

During this period, Bian Yansong went to work normally as before. Except that no one dared to pay attention to him, there was nothing unusual.

Liu Cheng sent people to secretly monitor Bian Yansong for a while, but could not find any flaws in him. He had to comfort his sad sister in private and promised to find her a husband better than Bian Yansong in the future.

Many people knew that Liu Cheng was looking for a suitable opportunity to deal with Bian Yansong.

Dongyuan Town seemed calm on the surface, but in fact, it was already turbulent.

--------

It was the middle of winter, and the cold wind was swirling in the air, mixed with some drizzle, and the only sound that could be heard was the howling of the wind.

On the vast prairie, there is only a sense of desolation, as if there is no life in the world and everything has returned to silence.

"Damn, what a horrible weather!" a rough complaining voice was heard.

A man in a military coat came out from the bushes, patting his hands to shake off the raindrops on his body.

Although the rain is not heavy, if you don't shake off the raindrops on your body in time, your clothes will be soaked in a short while.

In addition, when the cold wind blows outside, the clothes on your body are no longer warm.

"Captain, what's the situation now?" Captain Wu was waiting anxiously in the camp. When he saw Captain Ma coming back, he hurriedly went up to him and asked.

Since he reached an agreement with Bian Yansong that day, Captain Ma wrote a report. With the approval of his superiors, he found a suitable opportunity and led his troops into the grassland.

As for Bian Yansong, he stayed in Dongyuan Town to stabilize Liu Cheng's group and prevent them from noticing any clues.

Since entering the grassland, they have been lying in ambush carefully in order to prevent the news from leaking out.

"Alas! Those bastards are very cautious! I looked through the telescope for a while, but couldn't see anything special." Captain Ma replied unwillingly.

They had studied tactics before entering the grassland.

This group of bandits occupied a favorable terrain. If Captain Ma led his troops directly in, it would definitely alert the bandits. In addition, the horses they raised would hide deep in the grassland, making it very difficult to find them.

Therefore, the best way is to lure these people out, ambush them outside, and preferably catch them all in one fell swoop.

Without the help of the swamp and the horses, Captain Ma had the upper hand in a pure battle of force and weapons.

But the problem is that these bandits are very cautious. No matter how Captain Ma tries to lure them, they will only send one person out to keep watch and will never leave the swamp easily.

After hearing Captain Ma's answer, Captain Wu's face turned grim. They couldn't stay here for a long time. After all, this was not the main task of their team.

If we can't take down those bandits in the next two days, we'll be out of time.

"Captain, how about I take a few people to launch a surprise attack?" Battalion Commander Wu suggested.

"Except for where the bandits live, there is water all around. Unless you can fly, you will definitely alert the sentries if you want to sneak in." Captain Ma said in a deep voice.

Perhaps because they knew they were in a deadly business, the bandits were extremely cautious and had people on guard 24 hours a day.

"Then how about using fire?" Captain Wu was not discouraged and thought of another good idea.

If we light the grass around here, wouldn't that be like catching turtles in a jar? Let's see where those bandits can run!

He thought he had come up with a good idea, but he didn't expect that Captain Ma would just side-glance at him and said unhappily, "It's really like catching a turtle in a jar, but we have become the turtles ourselves!"

The grass on this grassland is all connected to each other. Once it starts burning, coupled with the wind, how can these people control it?

It is winter and the weather is already very dry. Although it is still drizzling now, the grass will dry up again soon as the rain stops.

Just a small spark can start a big fire in an instant. By then, not only will the bandits not be wiped out, but they will also become criminals.

"But - we can't just sit there and wait. We only have two days at most and then we have to go back..." Captain Wu said anxiously.

Captain Ma narrowed his eyes and paced back and forth for a few steps. "You continue to guard it, I will think about it..."

After Captain Wu left, Captain Ma carefully took out a square piece of folded paper from his pocket.

Before he entered the grassland, Li Ziping had told him that if there was no other way, he should open the paper.

He thought it was ridiculous at first, but thinking that Comrade Li meant well, he kept the paper.

But now Captain Ma was helpless, which reminded him of this piece of paper.

He slowly opened the white paper and saw a simple map drawn on it. The starting point was where they were currently camping.

Captain Ma tightened his grip on the map and a look of shock appeared on his face. How did Comrade Li know where they were stationed? Could he have predicted the future?

Hiding his panic, Captain Ma called a young soldier in and said, "Go and call a few people, and follow me to a place."

"Yes, Captain!"

Following the instructions on the map, Captain Ma led his men and walked for about fifteen minutes before finally arriving at the end point marked on the map.

There is yellow-green grass here, and at first glance, it looks no different from anywhere else.

But Captain Ma spotted the signs of cover-up at a glance, "Pull aside the grass."

"Yes!" Several little soldiers responded loudly and began to act.

Soon, everything hidden under the grass was exposed.

Captain Ma cried out in shock as he looked at the dozen or so large boxes and several carts of grain piled on the ground.

"How did Comrade Li know there was something here?"

After saying this, he looked around these things carefully again. When he saw the wet marks on the wheels, he frowned and said:

"No, he should have put these things here!"

Since these things were left by Comrade Li, there must be no problem, so Captain Ma waved his hand and asked a few young soldiers to go back and call people to move the things.

With just a few of them, it's definitely impossible to take everything in one trip.

On the way back, Captain Ma was wondering why Comrade Li left these things behind.

Food, cotton, cloth...

These are the things that are much needed in winter...

etc!

Captain Ma's heart skipped a beat. It had been several months since winter began, and those bandits must be short of supplies.

So these things are used to lure those bandits out.

The bandits were unmoved by the methods they had thought of before, ultimately because they were not attractive to them.

But food and other things are exactly what they need now. I don’t believe they can remain unmoved!

Thinking of this, Captain Ma’s frown finally relaxed and his eyes sparkled.

It’s this Comrade Li who is so powerful.

Also, how did he get those things in?

After thinking for a while, Captain Ma couldn't figure it out, so he gave up.

Forget it, as long as you know that he is a good person.

After Captain Ma and his group left, two figures appeared in the bushes not far away.

"Let's go. Since the things have been delivered, things here will be settled by tomorrow night at the latest." A clear and gentle male voice sounded.

"Okay, I also want a few ponies~~" Another clear and beautiful female voice responded.

After a while, the wind from the grassland blew away the grass, and there was no one there.

The voice just now has been blown away by the wind, as if everything was just an illusion.
