Qin Chuan sat in the house of the gatehouse with a serious expression. He looked at the simple map on the table and quietly pondered.

Huang Liuxi came alive, perhaps because of Fang Qiliang's bloodletting, or because of his courage to be afraid of death and his temper to curse all day long, and his body that was already covered in bruises and far stronger than others.

But Qin Chuan couldn't be happy because he knew that he had become a fat pig in the eyes of many people.

Someone is coming to kill a pig.

Two days ago, some whistles of unknown origin suddenly appeared around Loufan. It seemed that the costumes were either bandits or bandits, but not from the same family, but from at least three families.

Qin Chuan felt a very bad feeling, so he hurriedly sent people far away to find out the news, but he made him scold him. Fan Yongdou released the news, saying that Mengjiazhuang had a lot of money and food, which attracted several bandits around Loufan to make up for him.

There are Guo Yan from Guandi Mountain in the west and Ren Liang from Jiaoshan Hulu River in the south. The two families have a good relationship and will probably join forces, which will add up to more than 2,000 people.

Even Bashanhu wanted to get involved and wanted to seek revenge on Qin Chuan. This guy didn't deal with Ren Liang very much, but he had a good relationship with Guo Yan.

There is also Zhao Sandao from Yunzhong Mountain in the east, who is an old bandit who has been entrenched for many years. There are not many people, only three or four hundred, but most of them are old bandits.

A sky in Luya Mountain in the north was one of the bandits that had captured Hequ before. After the imperial court recovered Hequ, it was chased by the officers and soldiers to hide from all over the place, and eventually hid in Luya Mountain, with about 2,000 people.

These two families are far away from Loufan. Zhao Sandao had to bypass Ninghua Sub-district and Jingle County. One sky had to pass through Lan County. Moreover, the two families were in conflict. They had fought for territory before. One sky relied on the large number of people and powerful forces to make Zhao Sandao suffer a loss.

In addition to these bandits and bandits entrenched around Loufan, Qin Chuan also received two bad news.

First, a bandit cavalry appeared near Xugou County in the east, with about 3,000 people. They neither robbed nor fought with officers and soldiers, but went straight west, as if they were also coming to Mengjiazhuang, Loufan.

Second, Li Biaofeng and Tongtianzhu were following Wang Gangbaowu and others along the direction of Pingyao to Jiaocheng, less than two hundred miles away from Loufan.

Qin Chuan knew that the target of that cavalry must be Loufan. The bandits who could dispatch 3,000 cavalry would only be one of the leaders of the 36th Battalion.

Li Biaofeng and Tongtianzhu would definitely encourage Wang Gangbao and others to enter Luliang Mountain from the mountain road in Jiaocheng, and pass through Ren Liang's territory and enter Loufan.

In the end, there will be several bandits gathering in Loufan, with at least five people, with more than ten thousand people. The fastest will be one or two days, and the slowest will be at the city three or five days.

There is little possibility that these companies will join forces.

First, because there are too many monks and few meats, there are not enough divisions. Second, the departure time of several groups of people is different. Third, there are bandits and bandits, and there are even conflicts between them.

So, they should come in batches.

Whether it comes in batches or comes together, Qin Chuan cannot win by fighting head-on. Mengjiazhuang is about to be compromised.

Qin Chuan has already seen it. If he really can't hold on, it only means that this batch of money and food is not destined to be ruined by him. At worst, he will leave and go south to join Nicholas Zheng Zhilong. He can live at least a few more decades with his son Zheng Chenggong.

But before that, he had to kill him to the darkness.

If those gangsters treat him as a fat pig, they would be very wrong.

No matter Guo Yan, Ren Liang, Bashan Tiger, or Yi Tian Zhao Sandao, or Li Hongji and Zhang Bingzhong, as long as you dare to come, Qin Chuan would dare to put some blood on them and tear down a few pieces of meat.

No one can easily get that batch of money and food.

Including Fan Yongdou's old dog, this trick of killing people with a knife is really a waste. If he is defeated, he will kill his Fan family first and then go south to join Nicholas Zheng Zhilong.

After thinking for a long time, Qin Chuan began to issue orders in an orderly manner, and sent several messengers to Taiyuan to inform Song Tongyin that the Futai Lord had just lost Shouyang and the prime minister of the dynasty was not in the way of dealing with him. He should know that his black hat was about to lose his life. It depends on whether he had the courage to send troops to Loufan and win a battle with his merits.

The second way was to go to the north to inform the Governor of Xuanda Zhang Zongheng. This man seemed to have some ability and chased the bandits to attack near Kelanzhou. It seemed to be behind a sky butt, about two hundred miles away from Loufan.

The third route was to go south to find Cao Wenzhao. This awesome person brought his nephew Cao Bianjiao into Shanxi and was chasing the main forces of bandits such as Zi Jinliang and Gao Yingxiang.

Cao Wenzhao came from Mizhi County, and should have entered Jin from near Lin County, and then headed southeast to recover Yongning Prefecture, Xizhou and Fenzhou. At this time, it should be around Yongning Prefecture and Fenzhou, about 300 miles away from Loufan.

But Qin Chuan had no hope for Cao Wenzhao, because almost all the southern part of Shanxi were captured by bandits. He was busy and wanted to deal with the big and small bandits along the way. He had to rush to recover the prefectures and counties, rush to support Song Tongyin, and then pursued more than 100,000 bandit main force with thousands of troops. He did not have time to pay attention to the small Loufan.

Including Zhang Zongheng and Song Tongyin, Qin Chuan did not have much hope. It was better to rely on himself than rely on others. He had to try to kill his mother first, but it was not too late to kill him again.

At the same time, he sent people to watch day and night, paying attention to the movements of the hair hanging.

He felt more and more important in intelligence work. If he hadn't discovered that there were suddenly more spies around and realized that something was wrong, he might have brought people up the mountain to repair the pond.

His subordinates did not stop him at night. No matter how hard the old bandits in Jiujishan could fight, their ability to detect the whistle and detect was definitely not as good as the border troops' night.

If you can win this battle by chance, you have to find a way to recruit some nights and stop taking it.

In addition, Qin Chuan ordered everyone in the village to move immediately, strengthen the fortifications, and make two kinds of sacks, one large and one small. The small sacks were first stuffed with dead grass and soil, and then put them into the sacks, filling the gaps around with grain.

Qin Chuan planned to use this fake grain bag to fool the bandits. The inside was full of dead grass and soil. Only a thin layer on the outside was the grain. If you stab it with a knife, the grain would flow out. If you don’t check it carefully, you will definitely not be able to tell that it is fake.

He did not hide it from the villagers of Loufan Town, but sent someone to the town to inform that one or two bandits would arrive in the next two days, and the number might be three or four thousand.

After receiving the news, the town cried and called out to my parents. The villagers packed up their fine lines and fled to Heishan, but a small number of people hid in Mengjiazhuang.

In their opinion, Director Qin Da was a very remarkable bandit leader. He first defeated the tigers of Bashan with dozens of people, and then led a group of refugees to block the fierce attacks of thousands of **. Maybe this time he could also block the bandits coming from all directions.

Wang Jizong had read all the information and had been living in the village all night with Qin Chuan for two days to study countermeasures. He naturally knew that the Mengjiazhuang was in trouble this time, but he still brought all the members of the Wang family into Mengjiazhuang.

After repeated discussions with Qin Chuan, Luo Daniu and Song Zhiting took several brothers, one of whom went north to find Zhao Sandao, saying that he was willing to surrender to Zhao Sandao and handed over all the money, grain and horses in Mengjiazhuang. However, there are not enough vehicles and cattle and horses in the village to transport grain. Zhao Sandao had to cooperate with Mengjiazhuang to attack Yitian and lift the siege of Mengjiazhuang so that he could transport the money and grain back to Yunzhongshan safely.

Another one went to Donghuluchuan to find Ren Liang, and said he was willing to surrender to Ren Liang and sent money, grain and horses. However, because Qin Chuan had a grudge against Bashanhu, he asked Ren Liang to help him destroy Bashanhu and then open the door to welcome Ren Liang into the village.

At the same time, nearly two hundred miners were transferred from the mine to reward one tael of silver for living people and five taels of silver for dead people's families.
