To be fair, if Zhao Yu had been replaced by Yang Tong's seat now, he would never have touched Chen Zu.

Because in Zhao Yu's opinion, Chen Zu is a very rational person.

Among the fourteen masters of the mountain villages in eastern Yingshan, Zhao Yu is most optimistic about them, namely Chen Zu and Chu Jiao.

What? Yang Tong?

Sorry, Zhao Yu's inner evaluation of Yang Tong is far inferior to Chen Zu and Chu Jiao.

What makes Chu Jiao special is that he is good at hiding his weaknesses. In fact, this person is far from as stupid as he shows, but he can just use a honest smile to make people ignore him.

But Chen Zu is different. Chen Zu has shown his sharpness from the beginning.

When Yang Tong listened to Zhao Yu's suggestion and lured the other thirteen counterfeit sects with the "profit of the caravan" at the foot of the mountain, Chen Zu first supported Yang Tong, and Chen Zu also intended to increase his share with Yang Tong to increase Yang Tong's share. It can be understood that he was showing kindness to Yang Tong and increasing his share by the way. This was obviously his profit for his counterfeit sect.

But at that time, Yang Tong listened to Zhao Yu's suggestion and wanted to win over the other twelve counterfeit villages such as Liu Heimu so that he could achieve the purpose of annexation in the future, so he did not accept Chen Zu's proposal.

Two months ago, Yang Tong took the opportunity to annex the other seven bacs with the help of Magai, and even tested Chen Zu's view on the "integration into the Heihu Village" by singing with Liu Heimu. Chen Zu had already felt the threat at that time. Not only did he reject Yang Tong directly, he also mocked Yang Tong and Guo Da for taking the opportunity to annex the other seven bacs in public. In fact, the other seven bacs have also realized this, but they all lost their respective bacs. In addition, Yang Tong did promise them all kinds of favors, so he did not take over Chen Zu's fault.

But even so, Chen Zu still stayed in Heihu Village at that time, and led his brothers to help Heihu Village resist the officers and soldiers of Kunyang for more than two months. It was not until after Magai withdrew the day before yesterday that Chen Zu led his men to leave the main village of Heihu Village and return to his own village.

He was obviously very dissatisfied with Yang Tong, Guo Da and others, and even guessed that Yang Tong might attack him in the future, but Chen Zu still helped Heihu Village to repel Kunyang officers and soldiers. What does this mean?

This shows that Chen Zu is very clear about the pros and cons, and is very clear that once the Heihu Village falls, the officers and soldiers of Kunyang will inevitably attack his parody. At the same time, it also proves that Chen Zu is very proud. Even if he has various dissatisfaction with Yang Tong, Guo Da and others, he is not willing to take the opportunity to take the opportunity to take the blame.

It is precisely because of this that if Zhao Yu was in power in Heihu Village, he would not have to touch Chen Zu, because although Chen Zu was hostile to Heihu Village, he would not have watched the Heihu Village be wiped out by the officers and soldiers of Kunyang. In other words, he would still be able to use Chen Zu in the future.

But unfortunately, the Black Tiger Village is not in power now, but Yang Tong, a ruthless guy who is slightly wise but ambitious, wants to become the Lord of Yingshan. Not to mention that Chen Zu openly mocked Yang Tong before leaving two days ago, saying, "I am afraid that someone will be cut off from his head if he drinks wine." Even if Chen Zu does not publicly mock him, Yang Tong still attacks Chen Zu.

Because Yang Tong wants to become the real "Tiger of the Mountain"!

And this is exactly what Zhao Yu wants.

"When will the leader of the village take action against Chen Zu?" Zhao Yu asked Guo Da.

“The faster the better.”

Guo Da frowned and said, "This time, the Ma man saved his position and reputation, but that damn guy actually instigated his subordinates to find our new village..."

It has to be said that two months ago, Magai sent Ishihara, Yang Gan and others to find their new village in Heihu Village. This was completely an "accident" outside the plan. Because according to each other's agreement, Magai should withdraw his troops and return to the county after capturing the old village of Heihu Village, and return home to report to the county town that Heihu Village had been wiped out and Yu Kou fled.

In this way, Kunyang County will have at least some time to relax.

But Magai violated the agreement. After he captured the old Heihu Village, he did not withdraw his troops immediately. Instead, he immediately sent people to pursue and inquire about the newly built main village of Heihu Village, which exposed the main village several months in advance.

What will happen if the main village is exposed in advance?

Obviously, they will be encircled and suppressed by Kunyang County next year, and even this winter, Kunyang may prepare in advance for the next year to attack Heihu Village again.

Considering that Kunyang County will launch a large-scale attack on Heihu Village next year after spring plowing, Yang Tong hopes to annex Chen Zu and his gang before this.

That's right, logically speaking, rational approach should ease relations with Chen Zu so that when Kunyang County comes to invade, he gets Chen Zu's help, but Yang Tong's idea is exactly the opposite.

It can be seen that Yang Tong dreamed of unifying the eastern part of Shandong, and even, he might have been considering how to extend his power to Luyang, Liangxian and other places in western Shandong.

It has to be said that Zhao Yu's evaluation of his "superiority and wisdom" is indeed appropriate.

But in the end, Yang Tong was not completely confused. It seemed that he also understood that it was not moral to attack Chen Zu at this moment. After all, Chen Zu had just helped him resist the officers and soldiers of Kunyang. Yang Tong turned his head to beat the other party, which was obviously contrary to morality.

And this is the reason why Guo Da came to discuss with Zhao Yu today: "...but we have no name and act rashly. Not only can we not stand morally, I am afraid that Chu Jiao, Zhang Feng and others in the village will also be dissatisfied, so the boss asked me to discuss with you to see if Ah Hu, can you think of an idea so that we can attack Chen Zu with justification."

"Do we bandits also pay attention to legitimate reasons?" Zhao Yu joked with a smile.

If someone else said this, Guo Da would probably be unhappy, but because it was Zhao Yu who said that he didn't care at all and quipped with a smile: "There are more and more people in the village. There are no rules and no square, so it's better to pay attention to it... How about it, Ah Hu, do you have any ideas?"

Zhao Yu pretended to think about it and said, "You can try this... In order to lure the mountain villages, didn't we give the benefits of the caravans at the foot of the mountain to the mountain villages? Now that the seven villages have been incorporated into our Heihu Village, the distribution of the profits of the caravans should have changed."

"You mean...kick Chen Zu out?"

Guo Da was slightly stunned when he heard this, but then his eyes lit up and he said happily: "I understand!"

In an instant, he understood Zhao Yu's plan:

Heihu Village kicked Chen Zu out of the distribution of "the benefits of the caravan". Chen Zu must be dissatisfied with this, and the result of dissatisfaction must be to start a new business. Regardless of the agreement between Heihu Village and the passing caravan, he would still plunder the road connecting Runan and Kunyang at the foot of his mountain, and looting the passing caravans. In this way, Heihu Village had a conflict of interest with Chen Zu.

As the saying goes, cutting off people's wealth is like killing parents. Chen Zu plunders the caravan on the official roads in Runan. He originally took over the "Rukun" and "Xiangkun" and the caravan's Black Tiger Village on the two roads will definitely suffer losses, so the Black Tiger Village can naturally be justified indicting Chen Zu.

I have to say that Guo Da is not very smart, but he still reacts very quickly when someone makes suggestions.

But this time, he obviously guessed wrong.

As if he had guessed Guo Da’s idea, Zhao Yu shook his head and said, “It’s not just kicking Chen Zu out, it’s easy to get rid of it. It makes people see through at a glance that we deliberately force Chen Zu to break the previous agreement. Therefore, we cannot kick Chen Zu out, and still verbally give him two points of profit. But in fact, we can use various excuses to swallow his two points of profit. For example, my Heihu Village was just encircled by Kunyang officers and soldiers. After more than two months of surrounding, even the old village was burned down. Now we want to support the village.

Hundreds of people inside want to rebuild the old village. Can you owe Chen Zu the two points of profit first? If Chen Zu refuses, he will lose his morality. I believe that Chu Jiao, Zhang Feng and others will be dissatisfied with him. If Chen Zu agrees, it will be wasteful. Anyway, the benefits of the caravans on the two roads of "Rukun" and "Xiangkun" belong to us, and Chen Zu will not get any points... During this period, the people under Chen Zu will inevitably feel dissatisfied. Once they attack the caravans on the road of "Rukun", Brother Guo Da will come forward to question them, which is the safest."

"I understand."

Guo Da showed a malicious smile on his face, and he laughed and joked: "Your move is really hurt, Ah Hu."

Zhao Yu smiled slightly, then placed the mountain map he had drawn in front of Guo Da and said, "By the way, Brother Guo Da, there is something about our village defense. I have drawn this picture, you can see."

Guo Da looked carefully at the mountain map, pointed to one of the circles in confusion and asked, "What are these circles?"

"It's a branch."

Zhao Yu explained: "The newly built main village is in a good location. Looking down from the top of the mountain, there is the intersection of Rukun and Xiangkun. It is much easier to defend and difficult to attack than the original old village, but it is still an isolated village. For example, in the past two months, the officers and soldiers under Magai surrounded from the north, east and south. We can only enter and exit the west, but what is the west? The west is still a mountain. This time, the officers and soldiers only surrounded the food and the springs in the mountains, and we can barely support it by relying on the stored food and the springs in the mountains. But what if the officers and soldiers surround each other for a year and a half next time? Therefore, we want to build a branch village and form a corner to each other. In the future, the officers and soldiers will surround the main village, and the people who divide the village will attack behind them. If the officers and soldiers divide the village, the main village will attack. In short, it will make it difficult for the officers and soldiers to take care of the head and tail, and they cannot surround the mountain village like this time."

"Um."

Guo Da nodded slightly, then pointed to the thick and diagonal lines on the mountain map and asked, "What are these lines?"

"The thick lines represent roads. Since we need to set up separate villages, we naturally need to build roads in the mountains, just like the official roads between counties. As for these diagonal lines, they are walls. Its function is just like the obstacles we used bamboo strips and vines. The only difference is that they are not afraid of fire."

Guo Da was surprised and widened his eyes because the diagonal lines representing the walls were densely packed in this mountain map, especially the hillsides on the south, east, and north, as if Zhao Yu was preparing to turn the hill where their main village was located into a solid fortress.

"This...is too exaggerated, right?"

Guo Da murmured in disbelief.

Zhao Yu smiled and said, "This is the foundation of our existence."

"Too."
