Xu Huai took Yin Peng, Zheng Tu and Chen Gui slowly retreated to the market. More than 20 thieves kept a certain distance behind them until they watched them enter the market, and then retreated towards Yingzizhu.

Yin Peng, Zheng Tu, Chen Gui and others could not see anything strange, and they screamed strangely: "These bandits were really scared by Mr. Xu. No twenty or thirty people dared to chase us!"

"If it weren't for you three cowards, I might have picked two more thieves' heads for rewards." Xu Huai shouted dissatisfiedly.

"Yes, yes, yes, it's us three cowards that have dragged down your thighs." Zheng Butcher Zheng said hurriedly.

At first, Zheng butcher was bullied repeatedly by Xu Huai, but he felt hatred but had no choice but to treat Xu Huai. Later, he heard that Xu Huai made a big fuss about Yuehonglou and called the Tang family, which was powerful in Tongbai Mountain, and there was no way to deal with Xu Huai, so his anger disappeared unexpectedly.

Yesterday he accidentally fell on the long street. When the thief from Laoyatan raised his knife and slashed it, thinking that he would die, he saw Xu Huaiyou coming like a god, killing the three thieves with invincible courage in front of his eyes and nose. He felt like a seed was planted in his heart.

Last night, I saw Xu Huai and Yin Peng going to the east end of the street to set up a checkpoint. He took wine and food to please him. It can be said that he wanted to hold a thigh in the midst of chaos.

But in the afternoon, he learned that more than a hundred thieves had gone from Jumping Tiger Beach to Yingzizui and stopped. No one in the military camp and the street market dared to follow Xu Huai. Yin Peng went to Yingzizui to reconnaissance the enemy situation. However, he was like taking the wrong medicine and didn't even have a horse. But he led the horse with Chen Gui and Yin Peng, and walked around in front of so many thieves for several times before he came back.

At this time, I thought of the fear when I returned to the street market, but I felt incredible. What medicine did I take?

At present, almost two thousand people are stranded in the street market. Zheng butcher, Chen Gui, and Yin Peng are following the horses of twenty or thirty thieves. They all see it.

At this time, enjoying the admirable eyes of many people, Zheng Butcher and Chen Gui couldn't help but feel a little fluttering. He walked to the butcher shop and saw his wife poking her head out from the meat case. He asked in a loud voice: "Mr. Xu, is the wine and food for Master Yin hot? Take it out quickly. You woman can't wait to steal a man on my back, right? Do you decide I won't be back?"

Xu Huai jumped off the horse and asked Yin Peng to tie the horse to the door post. He walked into the shop and sat at the table, waiting for the butcher Zheng to bring the wine and food to the hottest.

"When we go to reconnaissance of the enemy, we have to meet Deng Langjun first. Otherwise, I will go to the military camp first and come here to have a drink later?" Yin Peng had learned fist and foot skills from Xu Wuliang for several years, and also heard Xu Wuliang talk about the rules in the army. He would not be too confused to see Deng Gui, but just drink at Zheng Butcher.

"Do you have military pay? Or do you have a thief's head in your hand and are rushing to get the reward?" Xu Huai stared at Yin Peng and asked, dragged him into the butcher shop and sat down, and said, "We have nothing, it's not too late to see Deng Gui after drinking."

From Jumping Tiger Beach to Eagle's Beak, they are all shallow hills, with a wide view, so there is no enemy situation that needs close reconnaissance at all.

Xu Huai took Yin Peng and the others to this trip, to put it bluntly, it was to bully Pan Chenghu's subordinate Xin Kou Duo, and he was still scared of him. In this way, it was used to alleviate the anxiety and fear in the hearts of the Huaiyuan military and civilians who had actually been cut off from the outside world, and stimulated their will to resist.

Now we can no longer follow the rules established by the Inspection Department and the clan in the past decade - it will be a stagnant pool. At this time, the dog-slaughtering people in the market can be more exciting, and they need to show more market energy and be generous.

Not to mention anything else, they walked into the butcher shop, and they usually met Zheng butcher in the street market, and more than a dozen bold and rascals who were close to Chen Gui came over; they were still a little afraid of Xu Huai, but they were joking with Zheng butcher and Chen Gui in front of the butcher shop or in the meat case, and asked them what it felt like to run to the thief riding.

When Zheng Butcher Zheng rarely had a face, he was scolding his wife for being too slow and neglecting Xu Huai, while slapping around in front of more than a dozen bold thugs.

"The crescent moon is rising, and the moon must be very bright tonight. We have eaten wine and go out again. I hope we can hunt a head this time, which will cost several days of food and drink!" Xu Huai said to Zheng Butcher Zheng.

More than a dozen thugs shouted, and some people rushed back to get the sword spear and shield. Zheng Butcher Zheng was also very proud and invited everyone to come in and have a drink.

"It's not a good thing to eat and drink. Yin Peng, go to the military camp to call Tian Yanyan over and sing songs for everyone!" Seeing that everyone's morale is available, Xu Huai wanted to call Yin Peng to call Tian Yanyan over and sing songs for everyone to cheer up. He wanted to deceive these people to die. He had to give them a little thought and shouted, "If anyone can get Tian Yanyan's goodness, she will be willing to accompany you to be happy, that's what you can do!"

"Singing you a big-headed ghost!" Wang Xuan scolded outside the crowd.

Xu Huai leaned over and saw more than a dozen spoils blocking the door hurriedly making way out, but saw Deng Gui and Lu Xiong accompanying Wang Bing into the threshold; Wang Xuan and Tian Yanyan followed behind, staring at him angrily.

Although Wang Xuan is extremely beautiful, she has a kind of brightness and innocence that cannot be desecrated.

Tian Yanyan also learned from Liu Qiong'er to sell her skills but not her body, but she was born in Yuehonglou. She became bolder when she saw her, and her eyes were vaguely outlined by her chest, waist and long legs vaguely outlined by her skirt. She looked like snowy skin and picturesque eyebrows. She was the time when she was seventeen or eighteen years old.

Tian Yanyan didn't dare to disobey Xu Huai's will. When she heard that he wanted to send her to accompany these rude men, she fainted, but she didn't dare to have an attack. She had to bite the bullet and follow Wang Xuan in, thinking that in the future, she would only save her from the fire pit.

Zheng Butcher, Chen Gui and Yin Peng all stood up in a hurry. Xu Huai raised his foot and rubbed his thick horse boots off, and barefoot with a slight sweaty smell directly crossed the bench. He said to Deng Gui without looking at him: "I went there in the afternoon and didn't pick a thief's head. Deng Langjun, you don't have to give me a reward."

"Mr. Wang said he wanted to come over and drink a bowl of water and wine. I believe the butcher Zheng would not be stingy. Why are you not happy?" Deng Gui smiled.

"It's not that I'm not happy to eat my wine?" Xu Huai said.

"Langjun Deng is joking. Come here with Xianggong Wang. The shop is bright. Sit down quickly - I'll invite you to drink this wine." Zheng Butcher Zheng's face was full of flesh and laughing. His wife jumped out to greet him, and she was like a spring breeze in her armpit, completely forgetting her situation at this time.

Faced with the fact that the bandits forced their way across the tiger beach and entered the east bank of Baijian River in the afternoon, Deng Gui initially wanted to withdraw all the remaining personnel in the street market to the military camp.

Due to Wang Bing's reminder and support, most of the personnel were intercepted when they fled the market. Even if the two or three thousand people left in the market were withdrawn to the military camp, the food would be supported for at least half a year.

Deng Gui would not believe that the court was still indifferent to the bandits in Tongbai Mountain after six months.

Wang Bingze did not agree with doing so.

The thief army crossed the river so quickly, with the purpose of completely cutting off Huaiyuan's connection with the outside world in advance, but they have given up the Hedong street market now, which is obviously too passive and conservative.

If the thief army occupied the Hedong street market without any effort, it would be easier to complete the approaching encirclement of the military camp.

However, Wang Bing knew very well that the three thieves joined forces to wipe out Zhongjiazhuang, and their momentum was fierce, but no matter what, they were all mobs and their ability to attack would definitely not be strong.

But it is possible that they still have to guard Hedong Street Market. They have to be absolutely necessary and cannot give up Hedong Street Market.

The greatest benefit of doing this will force the bandit army to form an encirclement of Huaiyuan, and it will require several times of manpower and material resources to be invested; this will also limit the bandit army's plunder of the outer clans and the forts, so that the situation will enter a stagnant stage early, and reduce the damage to Tongbai Mountain by bandits before the court dispatches troops to suppress them.

Deng Gui did not doubt Wang Bing's strategic vision, but was worried that people were frightened.

However, at this moment, I saw Xu Huai taking Zheng Butcher and others to return safely in front of the enemy cavalry, which attracted more than a dozen scoundrels to be moved, all thinking about following Xu Huai to disturb the enemy at night. Deng Gui found that people's hearts were actually not as precarious as his worries.

What we need to do now is to make further use of Xu Huai, a reckless general, and to regain people's hearts from fear step by step.

"If you have the courage to reconnaissance in front of the enemy, it is a great achievement. Although there are no thieves on this trip, you should also reward each with a consistent amount of money!" Deng Gui certainly knew that there must be a brave man under a heavy reward, so he immediately followed Jin Longquan and Tang Tiande to take the reward money.

"I don't want this reward, it's embarrassing," said Xu Huai. "Langjun Deng, if you want to respect me, please write a sign in front of this butcher shop, which reads 'Chu Zhuhu Xu Huai's head of the thief'! In the past, the villagers laughed at me for being clumsy, but eating those wine and food was useless. I piled the thief's heads here, so that the villagers who used to look down on me were so embarrassed that they couldn't raise their heads when they passed by!"

"Okay, you exchange the thief's head for wine, I'll write this sign for you!" Deng Gui agreed immediately, and asked the butcher Zheng to do some writing. He immediately wrote ten numbers in a wooden door of the butcher shop, "Chu Shan Zhuhu Xu Huai surrendered the thief's head" on the ground.

Of course, Deng Gui's attainments in the classics cannot be compared with Wang Bing, but he is also both civil and military. The ten numbers are written vigorously, and the rogues and onlookers are applauding.

Xu Huai didn't want to reward money, but Deng Gui still asked Jin Longquan to take out three stakes of money and rewarded Yin Peng, Zheng Butcher and Chen Gui, rewarding them for following Xu Huai's efforts to detect the enemy.

"Although Xu Huai is extremely brave, the thief also slipped away. It is not easy to hunt his head," Wang Bing said to many splashing hair after Deng Gui sat down again, "You dozens of you must follow Xu Huai to catch the enemy. Even if you cannot provide help, you cannot drag your back. I have a way to teach you..."

The thieves would not have the will to attack in the early stage, especially Pan Chenghu's troops who first crossed the river, and it would take time to join forces with the stubborn bandits east of Baijian, such as Lao Yatan, which means that now is the best time to use a series of small victories to inspire the will of the military and the public.

Xu Huai was unwilling to be too arrogant outside of force, so Wang Bing would come to teach him some of the meticulous work.

As for whoever Wang Bing was, he was willing to give them advice at this time. More than a dozen rogues immediately held their breath, afraid of missing a word.

"You hold spears and wooden signs to surround each other. Since you are preventing the attack of the thief cavalry, you can give you firm support to Xu Huai, who is outside. Three or four miles away from the street, it is as solid as a rock..."

All rogues are fun to play tricks, but it is too extravagant to expect them to have a high tactical quality and to strictly use military formations to enter and exit the battlefield.

However, asking them to hold spears and shields like turtles or hedgehogs to form dense formations in the open space three or four miles away from Huaiyuan Town, not to expect them to be able to kill the enemy, but to provide Xu Huai with enough strength in the deserted slopes outside the street market.

In this way, Xu Huaijin can kill the enemy, but when he is unable to fight or has to rest, he can temporarily retreat into the formation.

They were only three or four miles away from the market, and there were military soldiers here to support each other, so they were not afraid that Pan Chenghu and more than a hundred men would dare to siege Xu Huai and the others outside the Huaiyuan market.

If this method is feasible, and the subsequent reward will be given, the people in Huaiyuan can further improve their spirit and fighting spirit...
