Chapter 391: The mountain chief suppresses the bandits without martial ethics
Three days. An Xin was very busy during these three days.
He was busy taking Fang Qingping, who was born and raised in Lingnan and was very familiar with the area, to various hilltops to drug the bandits.
They cannot let these people notice it all at once or poison them to death directly, otherwise, as long as a few of them slip through the net, their plan to take back the people's food will become a futile talk.
Because these bandits were probably subdued by some important figure and his guards many years ago, and the bandit leaders who surrendered to him at that time have all been wiped out.
In order to maintain an army, in addition to having a large amount of money, the most important thing is to have sufficient food supply.
Wait until An Xin received the news from the secret guards sent by Erhu to protect Leng Xiangbai, Zhu Shijing and others.
An Xin smiled slightly, this exactly matched the time she estimated.
She sent someone to secretly pass a message to Li Ziyu and Kong Xun, telling them to withdraw when they found an opportunity.
The account books that Kong Xun and Shan Yongzhen found in the study of the county magistrate's mansion have already verified certain things, so there is no point for the two of them to stay there any longer.
And Li Ziyu was under constant surveillance at Prince Liang's Mansion.
Fortunately, Li Ziyu is a calm and cautious person, and he can keep his composure, but after receiving the news from An Xin.
Li Ziyu did not return to the village.
An Xin received a message from him saying that he had found some important things in Prince Liang's Mansion.
In order to avoid being abrupt when the two of them appeared in Lingnan at the same time, Kong Xun and Li Ziyu pretended to be two companions, scholars who traveled here.
Now, in order to cooperate with Li Ziyu to continue searching for evidence of rebellion in Prince Liang's Mansion, he and Feng Yuxiu will not leave the palace, and Kong Xun and Shan Yongzhen cannot leave early.
An Xin also understood that if he did not find solid evidence that King Liang was plotting treason, he would most likely be outmaneuvered by King Liang.
The crime of framing a vassal king is not a small one. By that time, King Liang might turn against them, and it would be a question whether these people could leave Lingnan.
Li Ziyu and Kong Xun continued to do what they were going to do.
Three days later, An Xin and Jiang Chenxi led two teams to the five mountains where the bandits were entrenched as scheduled.
It's said that we are going to attack, but in fact it's almost the same as going to collect corpses.
After all, An Xin had continuously put the special medicine powder developed by Doctor Su into the mountain spring where they drank water, which could make people gradually feel weak in their hands and legs and feel powerless all over.
Everyone who has used the cartilage powder says it is good. Only those who have used it know.
Why did An Xin have to run to administer the medicine for three consecutive days? If he administered too much at once and let them discover problems with themselves, they would have to run and tell the people behind them about the situation early on.
“……”What a waste of time to eliminate these bandits.
How could he let the person behind him show his true colors? Because of the lack of food to supply his private soldiers, he was lured into sending people to attack Da Niu Mountain in an attempt to take back the food.
Jiang Chenxi led the 500 elite soldiers that Kong Xun and Li Ziyu secretly brought from the capital, as well as Zhao Lei's team, which had little combat effectiveness but a large number of people.
After separating from An Xin, he took a team of people to Dayu Mountain, and asked Liu Huai, who had experience in leading troops on the battlefield, and Kyoto Deputy Commander Lu Qinlong to take the other half of the people to Mengzhu Mountain across the peak.
When his teacher assigned him to be in charge of the bandits in two mountains, Jiang Chenxi understood what she meant. It was up to him to decide how to attack the two bandit nests.
He was given a lot of shares, and those bandits were drugged by their own unethical teacher.
Even if the drug wasn't very strong in order to prevent them from noticing anything unusual, he would definitely be the one that suffered the loss in a fight.
Liu Huai hadn't led troops for many years. Suddenly he received an order to lead hundreds of people to suppress bandits. There was a gleam in his eyes and he was obviously very excited.
After Jiang Chenxi separated from Liu Huai, Lu Qinlong and others.
Leading the remaining half of the people to the halfway point of the mountain, Jiang Chenxi called over a small leader among the elite troops, and the two of them got close and whispered for a while.
He used the tactic that An Xin had taught him, a feint to the east and an attack in the west, and took advantage of the enemy's confusion to lead his men up the mountain at lightning speed.
Liu Huai also used his experience as a young general on the battlefield and, after discussing with Lu Qinlong, they began to split into two groups to attack the bandit's nest they were going to attack, forming a pincer attack.
Although An Xin led a small group of people, they were all elite troops brought from the capital.
Because these bandit dens were far away from their stronghold, An Xin only came here once yesterday to put cartilage powder in the spring water they drank.
Even if the medicine was put in more water than the other bandits drank, it was diluted because it was only put in once.
I'm afraid that the bandits on these hills will also be difficult to deal with by the bandits on other hills.
However, An Xin was not in a hurry, because the three mountain bandit dens were far away from Hujia Village, and most of the village heads and headmen who went there that day were villagers from the villages there.

By then, Jiang Chenxi, Liu Huai and their men will have more people. After they take down the bandits' lair and find the hidden food, they can just lead those people up the mountain to capture it.
"Little hill chief, why are we bypassing the bandits on this hill and attacking the one in the middle?"
An Xin: “So fast.”
“???” Feng Yujue’s eyes were covered, indicating that he didn’t understand.
However, it was dark and An Xin and his companions could only travel by moonlight. Moreover, the mountain road was overgrown with weeds, winding and rugged, making it very difficult to walk on.
An Xin walked to the valley where Qitianling and Yuechengling connected and ordered Feng Yujue, "You lead two hundred elite soldiers to find a suitable place for an ambush.
We will then create a huge noise to attract them to come for help, and then you can take advantage of the opportunity to kill them by surprise."
Feng Yujue was shocked. He didn't expect An Xin to have so much confidence in his abilities that he would assign such an important task to him.
It seemed that when the tasks were distributed that day, he was ignored by An Xin, who didn't understand him, and the next day he was not convinced and stood where she passed by.
He earnestly demonstrated the sword skills he had learned from a famous teacher since he was a child. His skillful moves and fierce sword power seemed to have won the recognition of this person.
Feng Yujue raised the corner of his mouth, and smiled happily in recognition.
Then he calmed down and answered seriously, "Yes, sir."
An Xin did not give too many instructions to Feng Yujue. A prince who was trained as the heir of the family since childhood could definitely not be a stupid person.
Even if he didn't know much about these ambushes and sneak attacks, An Xin believed that Feng Yujue would not act arbitrarily and arbitrarily.
A smart person would definitely choose to consult with the elite soldiers she left behind, and then discuss and come up with the most advantageous plan to fight the enemy.
Trust the people you employ, and don't employ people you don't trust. This allowed An Xin to give full play to his abilities at this time.
An Xin led the remaining 300 people and continued walking towards the other two bandit dens, the mountainside connecting them. She turned around and looked at Fang Qingping who was following closely behind her, and asked, "I asked you to lead 200 people to the other side of the mountain to ambush and stop the bandits. Do you dare?!"
