None of these three people escaped the other party's sight.

Before Ren Liang, Guo Yan and others sent troops to Loufan, they had received a reward from spies, saying that two groups of bandits were coming to Loufan, and a sky in Luya Mountain was already attacking Mengjiazhuang.

Ren Liang was still thinking about how to take Li from the complex situation. Guo Yan and Ba Shanhu couldn't hold back and urged him to send troops. If he was late, he wouldn't even have to drink soup.

In desperation, Ren Liang had to lead his troops to meet Guo Yan and Bashanhu, and rushed towards Lou Fan.

The three of them knew the backup plan they each had and did not point it out. While calling them brothers, they were always wary of each other's face change.

...

Wang Gang and Bao Wuzheng regretted it when they patted their thighs. Li Biaofeng had said a long time ago that Mengjiazhuang had several thousand yuan of grain, but they didn't believe it. After all, that place had been snatched by Bashanhu and Li Biaofeng, and they had robbed more than 3,000 stones of grain. How could a small farmhouse stock up so much grain?

Later, when they heard that there were 8,000 stones of grain and 10,000 taels of silver in Mengjiazhuang, they still didn't believe it. It was not until they found that the three thousand cavalry of the Eight King Zhang Bingzhong were heading towards Loufan that they finally believed it.

He hurriedly left the stolen money and food and some old people behind, leaving only a few hundred people to escort them. They led Li Biaofeng and Tongtianzhu to lead 2,500 troops into the Luliang Mountains and headed straight to Loufan.

...

Although Zhang Kewang is only seventeen years old this year, he has been fighting with his adoptive father Zhang Bingzhong for two years. He has already shown his strength. After dozens of battles, he has already gained prestige in the rebel army and is highly valued by his adoptive father.

He handed over the three thousand light cavalry to him, asked him to get the money and food from Mengjiazhuang in Loufan, and asked him to bring his brother with him, so that he could give this brother who was also young and promising, and that it was enough to show his valor of him.

At the age of seventeen, he led 3,000 troops and was also a rare presence in the rebel army. Zhang Kewang was full of energy and vowed to retrieve the batch of money and grain, and then help his adoptive father to conquer this great country in order to repay his adoptive father's wise grace.

Of course he knew the existence of several other groups of people, but he didn't care at all. The group with the most soldiers was Wang Gang and Bao Wu, one of the seventy-two families, and there were only more than two thousand people. As for Ren Liang and Guo Yan's less than two thousand people, it was even more worth mentioning.

The money and food of Mengjiazhuang belong to his adopted father, and no son is left behind. If those people and horses do not know each other, they will be able to see the power of the iron weapons under the command of the Eight Kings.

So, Zhang Kewang kept urging his troops to gallop quickly towards Mengjiazhuang.

Compared to Zhang Kewang's high spirits, Zhang Dingguo, who is four years younger than him, seems much quieter.

Zhang Dingguo was born in troubled times and grew up in troubled times. He was used to life and death, and to the warmth and coldness of human relationships and the dangers of the world. He had killed people, robbed food, almost killed people countless times, and even almost eaten by others. After joining the rebel army, he had experienced countless cruel things.

After such experience, Zhang Dingguo's heart and nature have become several years old. The teenager, who is only thirteen, has a calmness and shrewdness far beyond his age.

He knew that this trip was not as smooth as Brother Yi had expected.

Let’s not talk about the others, just say that the Qin surnamed Qin can occupy Mengjiazhuang with more than 30 subordinates, and take Li from the fire when the Bashanhu and the Meng family are fighting. Dozens of cavalry defeat the Bashanhu and 200 cavalry, and block the fierce attack of more than 1,000 people in the Fan family. This ability is not something that ordinary people have.

The Qin surname is definitely not an ordinary person, and he will never sit still and wait for death.

I hope my brother will not underestimate the enemy.

...

Shanxi Governor Song Tongyin is now very anxious. A few days ago, he divided five thousand troops to Wu Cai and ordered the latter to rush to Shouyang to help. Unexpectedly, Wu Cai was defeated at the touch and fled back to Taiyuan in a panic, and Shouyang also fell into the hands of bandits.

Song Tongyin beheaded Wu Cai in anger, and then began to think of countermeasures.

He was determined to recover Shouyang, but he only had a few thousand soldiers and horses, and the generals who could fight were only great power. Zhang Yingchang and Ai Wannian, and Zhang Zongheng, the governor of Xuanda, had troops, but now in Hequ and Kelanzhou, the far water could not save the nearby fire. Cao Wenzhao was dragged down by a small bandit in the Fenyang area.

If he led only a few thousand troops to Shouyang, Taiyuan and Yangqu would be in danger. If the bandits took advantage of the situation to attack, Taiyuan and Yangqu, which were empty, would inevitably fall.

The family of King Jin lived in Taiyuan City, and the Shanxi Provincial Government Office was in Yangqu again. If these two counties fell into the hands of bandits... Song Tongyin could not imagine what the consequences would be.

Now he is determined to kill the enemy, but he is unable to turn the world back.

I'm afraid there will be no chance to eliminate the bandits in the future. The political enemies in the court will never miss this opportunity to impeach him, especially Zhou Tingru is in the position of chief minister.

Just as he was feeling sad and anxious, Loufan Mengjiazhuang suddenly came to report that in the past two days, there will be several bandits of tens of thousands of people gathered in Loufan, and asked the Futai Lord to send troops to rescue Loufan.

Upon hearing this news, Song Tongyin was stunned. What did so many bandits gathered in Loufan? Can that small place in Loufan afford the military rations of tens of thousands of troops?

After asking questions repeatedly, I learned that Fan Yongdou released news that there was a large amount of food in Mengjiazhuang, which attracted bandits to kill people with a knife and wanted to get rid of Qin Chuan.

Song Tongyin pondered for a moment, then attracted the powerful tiger and explained it carefully. The latter took the order to go and get some troops.

The bandits all came to Taiyuan Prefecture, and Song Tongyin, the governor of Shanxi, had to send troops no matter what.

The problem is that he does not have enough troops and can only send 2,000 soldiers at most, and cannot fight head-on with the bandits. He has to wait until those bandits fight to the death and then wipe out one by one.

As for Qinchuan and Mengjiazhuang, I can only ask for more blessings.

...

The subordinates sent by Qin Chuan to the north did not meet Zhang Zongheng, but met He Renlong and were following Zhang Zongheng to regain Lin County.

After hearing the news that the bandits gathered in Loufan Town, He Renlong didn't believe that the bandits would run to a remote place like Loufan. Qin Chuan's men said a few more words and made him furious and almost beheaded on the spot.

The subordinates who went to the south did not find Cao Wenzhao, and it was said that they were heading towards Huozhou.

Those who went to Taiyuan met Song Tongyin, and Lord Futai agreed to send troops, but Qin Chuan knew that Taiyuan's reinforcements would definitely come late, at least until the bandits killed each other.

Yitian was chased by Zhao Sandao for more than ten miles, and there was no time to urinate on the road, which shows how heavy the resentment of this guy Zhao Sandao is towards Yitian.

When the war outside Mengjiazhuang ended, the disastrous bandits under Yitian ran back to ask for food. Manager Qin had promised to serve them porridge.

Manager Qin Da did not break his promise and asked someone to carry out a bucket of porridge that had been cooked long ago outside the house, so that the group of people lined up to receive the porridge.

The porridge was not given for nothing, he wanted this group of people to work hard for him.

The group of people were grateful and shouted that they were willing to surrender to Mengjiazhuang and submit to the Qin Daguan.

Qin Chuan confiscated them and asked the group of people to enter Mengjiazhuang, maybe something would happen.

I just told this group that if you want to eat porridge tomorrow, you can hide it behind the ridge northeast of the Zhuangzi, so that you can't let the other people discover it. If you listen to his orders at night, you have to kill people, otherwise no one will want to eat porridge tomorrow.

Hundreds of miserables agreed and went to hide.

As soon as these people left, Zhao Sandao came back in blood, and kept praising Qin Chuan for being brave and capable of leading troops. A few hundred people blocked the fierce attack of more than two thousand people in a sky. He was really a great hero.

After a lot of praise, Zhao Sandao said that he had defeated Yitian as agreed, and asked Qin Chuan to open the door to welcome him in.

Of course Qin Chuan was not stupid, so he just told him that the other groups of people were about to arrive, and as long as he was willing to join forces to repel those groups, Mengjiazhuang would give him the money and food.

Zhao Sandao got angry on the spot and angrily accused Qin Chuan of turning against his word and not being trustworthy. The latter kept smiling and indifferent to his anger.

After cursing for a while, probably because he knew that Qin's surname was too thick-skinned and he had only more than 300 people and could not defeat Mengjiazhuang. He had no choice but to leave with resentment.

But Zhao Sandao did not go far, but hid nearby, waiting to catch fish in troubled waters.

He was full of cavalry, and he was free to advance and retreat, and was not afraid at all.

What Qin Chuan wants is this effect, muddying the water. The more complex the form, the more beneficial it is to him.

I definitely haven't walked far one day, and I must have hid nearby and waited for troubled waters to catch fish. With these two people nearby, the others have to be wary of them everywhere.

Not long after Zhao Sandao left, the real strong enemy finally arrived.

The first one to arrive was the three thousand light cavalry led by Zhang Kewang, who were sharp and arrogant, rushed straight to Mengjiazhuang a hundred steps away before stopping.

Just as Zhang Kewang was about to approach and shout, a group of people suddenly appeared to the west, and Ren Liang and Guo Yan's bandit coalition arrived.

These two men seemed much older and did not get close immediately, but instead stuck on the ridge not far away like a nail.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Gang and Baowu arrived, and more than 2,000 people were also staggering on another ridge to the south.

The people and horses from the three sides are like battles between tigers, lions and leopards, and like the three kingdoms standing together, looking at each other from afar and clamping each other.
