Chapter 414: Feint to the East and Attack in the West
The seat of Xuantu County was in Fuzu County, and it governed Goguryeo County, Shangyintai, Dongwoju, Xigaima and other counties.
It has a vast territory, with approximately 45,000 households and a population of about 220,000.
The Menghuzhai that Qin Heng was targeting at this time was located in Xiaoyan Mountain in Goguryeo County, Xuantu County, and was also close to Liaodong County.
Gao Lei, Chen Jinlong, Ding Han and other former village chiefs came out of the carriage, looked up and probably recognized the direction they were currently in.
"Oh no, the first unlucky guy turned out to be from the Mengmeng Tiger Village?"
"Meng Jingfeng is so unlucky."
As they were talking, they were led to Qin Heng and others.
Chen Jinlong and the others clasped their fists towards Qin Heng and the others, "Greetings to Prince Qin, and to all the gentlemen."
All I can say is that the Qin brothers are no strangers to each other.
Qin Heng didn't waste any words and asked them directly, "What are you going to do?"
"Should we go talk to Meng Jingfeng first?" After Chen Jinlong made this suggestion, seeing that Qin Heng didn't object, he asked Gao Lei and Ding Han, "Old Gao and Old Ding, should we go up the mountain to meet them? Do you dare?"
Gao Lei rolled his eyes, "What am I afraid of?"
Qin Heng nodded, "Okay, go and try it."
After they walked away, Hu Guangcong whispered, "Young Master, Meng Jingfeng is not in the mountain stronghold at the moment." Meng Jingfeng had clearly gone to Chunqiu Village.
At this time, Qin Heng said, "We should make a feint to the east and attack in the west to lower their alertness and facilitate our next action."
Now the leaders of several strongholds in Xuantu County are secretly gathering in Chunqiu Village in Xigema County. For them, this is a good opportunity to wipe them out in one fell swoop.
At this time, Qin Sheng's personal guard came to report, "My Lord, the Sixth Master has already left."
"Okay." Qin Heng glanced at the sky and said, "Let's get everyone cooking. When night falls, we'll take action."
Hu Guangcong: "Okay."
Halfway up Xiaoyan Mountain, Menghuzhai arranged people to keep watch.
Chen Jinlong and others came in a horse-drawn carriage. As soon as they appeared, they attracted the attention of two bandits, one old and one young, who were on guard duty.
Seeing Chen Jinshui and the others, the little bandit thought they looked very familiar. "Brother Niu, look, does that person look like the leader of Black Bear Village?"
The man he called Brother Niu also stared intently, staring hard at the mountain below. "It's either a resemblance or him."
"Brother Niu, Brother Niu, look at the person next to him, doesn't he look familiar too?"
"That's Gao Lei, the head of the Black Bear Village!"
These people had all been guests in their village before, so they recognized them.
"Weren't they captured? Why are they here?"
"Not only are they here, but also the leader of Qixing Village, Ding Handing, is here." said the old bandit named Niu.
"Wait, what are they doing?" Going up the mountain?
The two bandits who were on guard looked at each other, wondering how could they be so brave?
When Chen Jinlong and his companions reached the middle of the mountain, they were stopped. "Stop! If you go any further, don't blame us for being rude!"
"Little guy, do you know the three of us?" Chen Jinlong knew that the other party recognized them when he saw that the other party didn't even ask who they were.
The bandits pointed their arrows at them without answering.
"Okay, we won't go any further. Send someone to tell your boss that an old friend has arrived and ask him to meet him."
"You government lackeys, we don't trust you!"
Chen Jinlong: ...
After much persuasion, the bandits were finally willing to report it.
In the end, Meng Jingfeng did not meet them and had them driven down the mountain. He also announced that they would not accept the amnesty unless the government agreed to their conditions.
It was quite time-consuming after all the trouble.
As they were going down the mountain, Chen Jinlong frowned tightly, "Old Ding, do you feel anything is wrong?"
It was already dinner time, and Gao Lei was hungry after such a long time.
Before Ding Han could answer, Gao Lei started yelling, "What's wrong? How dare that son of a bitch Meng Jingfeng attack us?!"
Ding Han pondered for a moment and said, "Meng Jingfeng is not the kind of person who sticks to one path until the end."
The two looked at each other. Why didn't the other party even dare to see them?
Although he had appeared on the top of the mountain when he ordered them to be expelled, it was dark and far away, so they only judged that it was him based on his clothing. But that person might not be Meng Jingfeng.
Ding Han: "Could it be that Meng Jingfeng is not in the Tiger Village?"
"Also, Prince Qin's attitude is a bit wrong." Chen Jinlong pointed out.
When they returned to the foot of the mountain and told the other party about the situation, the other party just said that they knew, without saying much, and then asked someone to arrange meals for them.
This feeling is even stronger.
The three of them talked in low voices when no one was around.
Chen Jinlong looked around and said, "I suspect that Prince Qin has long known that Meng Jingfeng is no longer in the Tiger Village."
Gao Lei: "Then he still asked us to go up the mountain?"
Ding Han: "It's obvious that we were taken advantage of."
After these words were spoken, the three of them were silent for a moment.
Chen Jinlong finally said, "Go to sleep."
It’s true that they want to make a contribution, but they also need to see the person.
"Can you still sleep?" Gao Lei shouted.
"What's the reason for not being able to sleep? Think about it more positively. We came here as lobbyists and were used, and we are still being used now..." We are all being used, so is there any difference between high and low?
"And the Liaodong general obviously has a plan. Let's just wait and see the results."
At this time, the village chief's whereabouts must be secret. But this secret whereabouts are exposed under the enemy's nose. How can they win the battle?
Their guess was correct. Qin Heng and the others had indeed known the whereabouts of Meng Jingfeng and others a long time ago.
The news Qin Heng received was secretly revealed by the people of Xuantu County.
The people of Xuantu County, which is adjacent to Liaodong County, know very well how the other side lives a good life.
The first step must be to cooperate in suppressing bandits.
If the bandits are not eliminated, they will not be able to enjoy any benefits.
Besides, they themselves hated bandits, so what was wrong with tipping off the Liaodong Army? Some of the brave ones even planned to lead them.
On a cold night, the crescent moon hangs in the sky and the stars twinkle.
Qin Heng led a team and marched quickly in the night.
"Sir, go this way. This path will keep you away from the eyes of those mountain strongholds."
"Okay, fellow, you lead the way."
After an unknown amount of time, the fellow stopped and said, "Sir, the Chunqiu Village is just ahead."
"Okay, fellow, please stay. You can go back now. It's getting late and the dew is heavy. Go back and drink a bowl of ginger soup to drive away the cold. Then take a good rest and don't get sick."
"Okay."
"Walk."
The lean man stepped aside and silently watched them move forward. He was deeply impressed. He knew that many people couldn't see clearly at night. He was one of the few people he knew with excellent night vision, but these soldiers didn't seem to have this problem?
