The food crisis is resolved and the morale of the army is temporarily stable.

Dongfang Ming ordered to continue to march towards Hebei according to the original plan.

Along the way, the army remained silent in a strange tacit understanding, and Dongfang Ming was also thinking about how to solve the problem of insufficient soldiers.

Dongfang Ming's army took the fastest and most secret way to enter Hebei. Dongfang Ming didn't want it. Before he came up with a countermeasure, he was discovered by Dou Dejian's army. How could they be enough for Dou Dejian to attack.

One day, Dongfang Ming's army arrived at the foot of the Dark Night Mountain on the Hebei border.

Generally, in such mountains and forests, it is easy to hide the old nests of robbers and bandits.

First, because the mountains are densely packed and people are running around, they can hide their traces; second, because the mountain roads are rugged and difficult to walk around, and it is very difficult to walk around. If you are not a person who lives in the mountains all year round, you will easily get lost when you enter the forest; third, there are many wild vegetables, wild fruits and various wild animals in the mountains. As long as you have the heart and experience, you will not starve to death even if you live in the mountains.

As a hidden bandit leader, Dongfang Ming certainly knew some of the tricks.

Therefore, when Dongfang Mingming was able to see this mountain from afar, he sent scouts to investigate the details of the Black Night Mountain.

If you don’t know the situation and walk under the bandit’s nest, wouldn’t you fall into the trap?

By the time Dongfangming arrived at the foot of the mountain, the scout had roughly investigated the situation of the entire mountain.

As Dongfang Ming expected, the scout came to report.

There is indeed a mountain village on the hillside of Heiye Mountain. Moreover, this village is not small in scale, not the ones that Dongfang Ming had encountered before. The small ones are only a hundred people, and the big ones are only a few thousand. This village actually has nearly ten thousand people.

The area of ​​Heiye Mountain covers a considerable area, and it can be regarded as a famous mountain in Hebei. Therefore, the mountain village on the mountainside does not occupy a small area. It is hidden in a narrow rift valley with a narrow and wide inside, and there are almost no traces of buildings from the outside.

There is another dense forest outside the rift. The trees look very old. Not only are the trunks more than two people hugging each other, but they are still very tall, hiding the rift in the rift without leaking air.

This copycat was built in this rift valley and can be said to have the best of time and place.

Perhaps it is also for this reason that such a large-scale copycat, with nearly 10,000 people, can already threaten the rule of local governments, but it has not been wiped out by local governments in Hebei Province.

Such a hidden place is probably not known to anyone who has been hiding in the mountains all year round.

It is already difficult for the government to find the bandits' nests.

In addition, the unique geological conditions of the rift valley are narrow on the outside and wide on the inside, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack. If the government troops are sent too many people, they cannot enter the valley entrance and can only be passively attacked by people in the valley; if there are too few people, they cannot deal with a group of nearly 10,000 bandits.

With such a natural danger, no wonder the cottages here can expand their scale unscrupulously.

At first glance, there was such a big mountain village hidden on the mountain, and the atmosphere in the army was a little nervous.

There was an atmosphere of fear of retreat among the soldiers, and they all felt that they should change the way and find another way to go around the Dark Night Mountain.

Dongfang Ming is exactly the opposite of his brothers. In Dongfang Ming's eyes, this copycat of ten thousand people is a living "soldier reserve"!

Dongfang Ming awakened to take nearly 10,000 people into his pocket. With these men, the 300,000 troops that suppressed Dou Dejian's rebellion were not so weak.

Making up his mind, Dongfang Ming ordered to march towards the Black Night Mountain.

However, the soldiers unexpectedly did not immediately execute Dongfang Ming's order, but instead started a fierce quarrel on whether to "knowing that there is a tiger in the mountain, they tend to go to Tiger Mountain" on the premise that the number of bandits in Mingye Mountain is far greater than their own.

Many soldiers in the army agreed that they should bypass the Dark Mountain and continue to move forward. They did not want to waste time or even lose their lives here. For such dangerous places, they would stay away.

In theory, the number of bandits in the Black Night Mountain is far less than Dou Dejian's 300,000 troops. Why are the soldiers more willing to rush to the front line of fighting Dou Dejian?

Because the rebellion against Dou Dejian was the emperor's order, even if the soldiers were unwilling to do so, they could not disobey the emperor's order, otherwise it would harm their families. However, the suppression of bandits was not a task assigned to them by the superiors, so they felt that they had the right to refuse to go to the Black Night Mountain.

Those who supported Dongfang Ming were the generals who had followed him, and they had never had any intersection with this army before. For a moment, neither side could convince anyone.

Dongfang Ming heard his subordinates quarrel, rubbed his temples and said to the soldiers: "You all know the problem of food and grass shortage before. Since I can solve the problem of food and grass without relying on anyone, you can at least believe that I will not fight a war that is unsure."

"I don't want to be tempted by you here, so I'll just talk to you here, so you won't be able to tell me what I'm going to do in the future."

"Why did the emperor ask you to rehabilitate Dou Dejian this time? Why were you given me only more than 1,000 people? Why did you let me lead the army? Why did you do these more than 1,000 people? Haven't you ever thought about it?"

"Wake up! We have been given up long ago, we are just cannon fodder!"

Dongfang Ming had to admit that what he said had his own scheming. He was deliberately misleading these soldiers to think that the court gave up on him. However, this was the emperor's incompetence and suspicion of designing Dongfang Ming, and he could not blame Dongfang Ming for being unrighteous and instigating the emperor's army.

As long as the preconceived thoughts of the imperial court were instilled in these soldiers, Dongfang Ming would do the rest easily.

In fact, Dongfang Ming had this idea when he left Chang'an.

However, with the lessons of the past, it was impossible for the emperor to simply throw him an army and then ignore him and replenish Dongfang Ming's manpower.

Dongfang Ming believes that not only the emperor, but also many people want to deal with him. Then they will not easily give up any opportunity to inquire about Dongfang Ming's news.

A brand new and unfamiliar team is the best opportunity to mount and cultivate eyeliners around Dongfang Ming?

When he first mastered this army, he was also considering that "I don't know if there will be someone with a heart to put his eyeliner in it." Dongfang Ming kept turning on the system to observe and analyze these soldiers secretly. The previous disputes, including the riots that occurred due to food and grass shortages, saw them all.

With Dongfang Ming's ability, as long as he wants, he can suppress the soldiers and other small fuss at any time. But he is not. After all, as long as there is chaos, those people will relax their vigilance and Dongfang Ming can see who is making trouble.

Dongfang Ming also had a rough estimate of who has ulterior motives.

Moreover, the army is now very far away from Chang'an. Even if Dongfang Ming does something in the army, the news will not be transmitted back to the capital for a while.

Now that Dongfang Ming wants to subdue nearly 10,000 bandits, his army can no longer cause trouble. Now, they will be subdued in one fell swoop and let them stand on Dongfang Ming's side because of suspicion of the court. Isn't that just right?
