Xue Wenju told everything he knew.
After he finished speaking, Zhang Zhen added, "Captain Liu, yesterday I sent someone to deliver money to the bandits, and specifically asked them to pay attention to the number of bandits. There are quite a few bandits in Yiyun Village, probably as many as four or five hundred."
The implication is whether Liu Xiao's thousand soldiers have the ability to wipe out all the bandits.
Liu Xiao took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "No matter how strong the bandits are, they are still bandits. They will naturally show their fear when facing the soldiers. Not to mention that I brought elite soldiers this time."
"Do you know why the government sent me to suppress the bandits instead of other captains? It's not because I'm from Ruifeng County, but because of my ability."
"During the famine, banditry arose everywhere. This captain fought against bandits everywhere in Qingyang City. I have killed countless bandit leaders, and I have destroyed countless mountain strongholds."
Speaking of this, Liu Xiao showed pride on his face.
He put down his wine glass, tapped the table with his fingers, and his eyes showed a sharp confidence. "Uncle Zhang, you may think that four or five hundred bandits are a large number, but in my eyes, they are just a mob."
He raised his chin slightly, glanced at everyone present, and sneered, "The reason why bandits are called bandits is because they have no discipline, no organization, and no courage. They may be able to bully unarmed civilians on weekdays, but when facing real elite soldiers, they are not even a match for them."
When he said this, he stood up, walked around the hall with his hands behind his back, and his tone became more arrogant:
"Do you know what happened to the group of bandits outside Qingyang City half a year ago? They were said to have 800 people.
"I only brought 300 elite soldiers with me, and I killed them all in one night. Their leader, called 'Black-Faced Tiger', knelt before me and begged for mercy, but I still beheaded him with my own hands."
Liu Xiao stopped and turned to look at Zhang Zhen, a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes. "So you can rest assured, no matter how many bandits there are in Yiyun Village, they are just a bunch of chickens and dogs. My 1,000 elite soldiers are enough to catch them all in one fell swoop!"
His words were full of confidence and arrogance, as if victory was already within reach.
Other people in the hall were also infected by his aura and raised their glasses to toast him, and the atmosphere became lively.
Zhang Zhen was even more excited, "Oh, heaven! Oh, earth! My son is finally saved!"
Xue Qianqian secretly patted her chest. Fortunately, she had already informed Brother Pei and asked him to run away in advance, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
