Lin County, Li Biaofeng stood on the east city wall, looking at Mopan Mountain horizontally to the east with a cold gaze.

After climbing over Mopan Mountain and walking east along the Luliang Mountains for another 160 miles, Loufan Town is there.

Li Biaofeng's spy who was left in Loufan came back and brought back some news that made him very uneasy.

Qin Chuan actually occupied Mengjiazhuang and held Meng Guiming hostage. He first blocked the attack of 300 officers and soldiers of the Thousand Households in Ninghua. He then attacked the officers and soldiers at night with the weak force of 38 old bandits in Jiujishan, killing hundreds of officers and soldiers.

From the spy's description, Li Biaofeng guessed that the guy was attracted by the officers and soldiers' cotton armor and war horses.

Originally, Li Biaofeng, Ba Shanhu and others thought that the Qin surnamed wanted to serve the officers and soldiers, otherwise they would not have entered Mengjiazhuang and never came out again.

But unexpectedly, the guy didn't just follow the officers and soldiers, but killed officers and soldiers, robbed cotton armor, and was no different from their blatant rebellion. They were all serious crimes of treason that killed the nine clans.

In addition, the guy also recruited refugees and won over his neighbors. He also set up several large pots in Mengjiazhuang to cook yellow rice porridge and horse meat to others.

Obviously, that guy was recruiting soldiers.

It is also obvious that Mengjiazhuang still has a batch of grain.

Before attacking Mengjiazhuang, Li Biaofeng heard Bashanhu say that a batch of grain was transported into Mengjiazhuang not long ago, about four or five thousand stones, but he never came out after entering. However, he and Bashanhu almost searched Mengjiazhuang, but could not find the batch of grain.

It seems that that batch of food has fallen into Qin Chuan's hands.

Four or five thousand stones of food are enough for the guy to pull up a team of at least three thousand people.

Li Biaofeng knew Qin Chuan's ability. He was a wolf. If he gave him three thousand wolfs, he could lift up the entire Shanxi land.

You can't watch him grow old, otherwise there will be endless troubles.

Li Biaofeng and Tongtianzhuyi decided to go to find Baowu and asked Baowu to attack Loufan.

However, Lin County is no longer the only one who can tell me. A few days ago, another group of people came. The leader was Wang Gang, who was a clever and flexible person, and he had more people than Bao Wu.

When Wang Gang heard Li Biaofeng Tongtianzhu's proposal, he refused without thinking, because Loufan was located in a remote place and he didn't believe that there could be four or five thousand stones of food in it. If they pulled thousands of soldiers into Loufan, they might be starved to death.

Secondly, Cao Wen ordered Cao Bianjiao to chase him from Shaanxi to Shanxi, and Li Bei was in Hequ to the north, and Ma Ke, the gang general under his seat, was also a difficult opponent.

Loufan is surrounded by mountains, and there is only one road to Ningwu Pass to the north. The pass is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Thousands of people are determined not to be taken down. To the east are Taiyuan County and Yangqu County, which are heavily guarded by heavy troops, and there are steep mountains and ridges to the south. If they enter Loufan and are blocked by Cao Wenzhao's army in the west and blocked by Ma Ke in the north, they will become turtles in the jar.

When the five leopards looked at the terrain briefly, they immediately rejected Li Biaofeng and Tongtianzhu.

Most of the troops of the 36th Battalion were plundering in rich places such as Fenzhou and Pingyang in the south. He would not be so stupid that he turned into the barren Loufan. He had no choice but to go if he had no way to go.

However, the area of ​​Pingyang, Fenzhou is not stable. There is Hong Chengchou to the west, Zuo Liangyu to the south, Lu Xiangsheng to the east, Taiyuan County guarded by heavy troops, and upwards is Xuanda important land where border troops gather.

It can be said that most of the troops of the 36th Battalion were surrounded in the Fenhe Basin in southern Shanxi.

There were only two roads in front of Baowu. One was to go south to Fenzhou and gather with other battalions, and the other was to go east, cross Mopan Mountain and Guandi Mountain, and attack the Jiaocheng area.

While hesitating, Wang Gang suddenly pointed out another way: go south first, plunder all the way, and take advantage of Cao Wenzhao's army to arrive, then go northeasternly to hide in Guandi Mountain near Jiaocheng, and set up a large village on three cliffs at the intersection of East and West Huluchuan to resist the officers and soldiers.

When the officers and soldiers retreated and pursued the rest of the 36th Battalion, they could go from the three cliffs to the east to the Taiyuan area of ​​Jiaocheng, and from the south to the Fenzhou. These two places were fertile and fertile places, enough for them to plunder and replenish their money and grain.

Wang Gang's route is equivalent to going around for a while, then finding a place to stand and watching the changes.

The reason why I took such a long way was to rob some money and food along the way and store it on three cliffs to prevent officers and soldiers from surrounding the mountains for a long time.

Baowu thought for a long time and finally decided to follow Wang Gang's route.

Li Biaofeng and Tongtianzhu did not persist anymore. Although they raised another thousand troops among the refugees with the money and food they had brought back from Mengjiazhuang, they did not dare to fight into Loufan alone.

Last time, Qin Chuan was able to block the siege of hundreds of people with more than thirty people and defend the gatehouse. Who knows how many more people he has pulled now?

He can only let him live for a few more days. Bashanhu will definitely not sit idly by and ignore him. He will bite his head with Bashanhu dog first and fight both sides of the defeat.

It wouldn't be too late to find a way to deal with him when I got to Sanzu Cliff. Anyway, Sanzu Cliffs were only more than a hundred miles away from Loufan.

...

Bashanhu really can't sit still.

These days, he has been sending people to stare at Qin Chuan and ordered two hundred people to match the horses. He wanted to take two hundred cavalry to kill halfway as soon as Qin Chuan left Mengjiazhuang.

However, Qin Chuan's guy actually occupied Mengjiazhuang and refused to leave. He even started fighting with the officers and soldiers.

Apart from the night attack on the officers and soldiers, the guy never left Mengjiazhuang and stayed in that gatehouse. He also recruited a group of refugees to live in Mengjiazhuang.

Bashanhu knew that the batch of grain was taken by Qin Chuan, and that guy was recruiting troops and he would never sit idly by and watch him grow stronger.

Thinking of this, Bashanhu continued to make people stare at Qin Chuan, hoping to find an opportunity to destroy the guy.

Finally, the opportunity came, and Qin Chuan took twenty-five horses to Heishan.

According to the information found by his subordinates, Mengjiazhuang did not surrender to Qin Chuan in the mine in Heishan. Last time, he almost destroyed ten bandits under Qin Chuan. This time, he should have been attacking the mine.

Upon receiving the news, Bashanhu immediately ordered two hundred subordinates, and everyone was matched with the horse. Fenglei galloped straight to the Heishan Mine.

In the last battle in Mengjiazhuang, he lost nearly 300 subordinates and had no choice but to replenish his troops. Now there are less than 300 people in the village who can carry swords and get on horses. This time, he dispatched 200 cavalry and was almost out of nothing.

He did not attack Mengjiazhuang. Although the food must be hidden in Mengjiazhuang, there were more than a dozen bandits on the gatehouse, and hundreds of new refugees. The collapsed courtyard wall was built again. He piled up the two hundred people, undoubtedly to die.

He wanted to rob and kill Qinchuan. There were seven or eight hundred miners in the Heishan Mine. It was impossible for Qinchuan to fight those more than 20 people, unless they were tempted by money and food to surrender those miners.

But this takes time. He has to go from behind before Qin Chuan took the mine and attack the mine on both sides. No matter how powerful Qin Chuan is, he will never escape death!

He must arrive in Montenegro as soon as possible.

Huangcongshan was more than 60 miles away from Loufan. When Qinchuan left the village to Heishan, it took an hour to return the spy of Bashan Tiger's quick horse. It took a little half an hour to set off, and it took another hour to gallop all the way to Heishan.

At noon, Bashanhu finally arrived at the Heishan Mine, but did not see Qin Chuan. He only saw dozens of corpses standing at the foot of a ridge in front of the mine. After a rough look, he did not find the corpses of Qin Chuan and others.

The gate of the mine was closed, and there were vaguely visible figures on the two arrow towers next to the gate.

Bashanhu couldn't help but stomp his feet and curse, and was one step late, but was succeeded by Qin Chuan.

Although the wall outside the mine was very simple, it was just a few wood erected, there were hundreds of miners inside, and his two hundred men did not dare to attack.

It seems that we can only go back to Huangcongshan first.

Two hundred riders drove for an hour and were already exhausted. If they rushed back immediately, they would probably be exhausted halfway through the journey.
