Regarding Zhao Yu's attitude, or the attitude of Zhou Hu, the leader of the Black Tiger thief, Kunyang County Magistrate Li Xu, soon revealed to the county magistrate Liu Pi and the county magistrate Ma Gai, who did not make any comments on this matter.

Afterwards, several important officials in the county yamen, including Shihara, Chen Gui, Yang Gan and other captains, heard about this incident one after another and discussed it privately.

When Ma Gai privately informed Zhao Yu of this matter, Zhao Yu did not prohibit it.

After all, this is helpful to dispel some people's expectations for the county and let them understand that only Zhou Hu can save Kunyang!

In this way, Zhao Yu can naturally take Kunyang into his pocket.

Of course, this matter is not absolute. If the governor of Yingchuan County Li Min, who knew the matter, listened to the advice of the Western Supervisor Xun Yi, issued a letter of pardon for past crimes to Zhou Hu and Heihu, and used the prestige of Yingchuan County and even the court as a guarantee, Zhao Yu would not be able to stand firmly on the side of the Jin court.

After all, although the rebels are currently in a huge position, they have unstable footholds. Even if they have been in trouble for a year or two or even longer, Zhao Yu still feels that Jin may be able to recover their disadvantages.

In short, between Jin State and the rebel army, Zhao Yu was prepared to bet cautiously and strive for the best interests.

At the same time, rebel general Huang Kang was planning to clear the "Kunyang Wolves" in the nearby area.

On August 27, the night when the negotiations between Zhao Yu and Guan Shuo broke down, the group of wolves of the Black Tiger Thief began to attack the rebels and hunt down the lonely rebel soldiers.

Although there were about 60,000 rebels and green forest thieves on the south bank of the Sha River, which was falsely claimed to be more than 100,000, but since the camp had not been built, countless rebel soldiers and green forest thieves could only stay in the wilderness at night, which provided convenience for the black tiger thieves and wolves to attack them.

Under the waves of man-made wolf howls, the rebel soldiers and green forest thieves who were responsible for patrol and guarding were constantly attacked. The attackers were ambushed in the dark corners, and they started attacking when they passed by, or shot cold arrows from afar. After one night, the Changsha army alone lost more than a hundred soldiers.

In contrast, the Green Forest thieves suffered greater losses, losing more than 200 thieves and hundreds of pseudo-thieves in one night.

This loss is equivalent to the number of people from Chao Bao and his gang at that time.

Why did such a huge loss occur?

This is to mention Xiang Hu, another big leader of the Green Forest thief. When he learned that he was being attacked by the Black Tiger Thieves, he immediately sent several brothers to pursue him. However, he did not expect that one of them would chase too far and be ambushed by the Black Tiger Thieves. Just like the prey hunted by the Wolves in Kunyang, they were attacked from all directions by the Wolves in Kunyang. In the end, there were only a few left who could escape back to the Changsha Army's base alive.

After dawn, Guan Shuo received news of the losses and frowned and summoned the generals under his command, Zhang Tai and Xiang Hu, the two leaders of the green forest thieves.

Zhang Tai and Xiang Hu were both leaders of the Green Forest Army who followed Guan Shuo's Changsha Army. Because they had thousands of Green Forest thieves under each other in the past, neither of them obeyed each other, and Guan Shuo was also happy to fight within the Green Forest Army. After all, once the Green Forest Army united, his status as the New Chu Army would be challenged, at least he could not order the other party like before.

Once upon a time, Zhang Tai and Xiang Hu were in equal power, and neither of them obeyed each other. However, a while ago, Zhang Tai suffered heavy losses because he followed Changsha Army general Huang Kang to attack Kunyang. Not only did he follow him, the small green forest thief leaders, such as Miao Liang, Guo Bao, and others, were all killed by the Black Tiger thieves, and his head was hung on the wall of Kunyang, and even his direct subordinates were injured and killed.

Now including Chao Bao and others, Zhang Tai's side has only hundreds of people left to talk about.

On the other hand, Xiang Hu, although he also lost many people to attack Zhaoling County by assisting Changsha generals Liu De and Xu Bao, he received some supplements in Zhaoling and Dingling counties by forcing the powerful men, and the green forest thieves under his command remained at around 6,000 to 7,000.

When there was a huge gap in each other's power, Xiang Hu naturally would not miss the opportunity to take advantage of Zhang Tai and his gang. After the two sides met, he made several sarcasm and even intended to annex Zhang Tai's few subordinates.

In fact, there were indeed some people under Zhang Tai who turned to Zhang Tai. Even Chao Bao, who had been grateful to Zhang Tai for helping him, was hesitating whether to change to another elder brother to follow him.

In this case, Zhang Tai naturally hated Xiang Hu to the core. He heard that Xiang Hu suffered a loss at the hands of the black tiger thief in Kunyang last night. Zhang Tai gloated and even spoke up in front of Guan Shuo, he laughed at Xiang Hu.

After a while, Zhang Tai and Xiang Hu started arguing in front of Guan Shuo until Guan Shuo angrily stopped.

"Enough!"

After stopping Zhang Tai and Xiang Hu, the two leaders of the Green Forest Army, Guan Shuo ordered without refutation: "I have handed over the so-called Kunyang wolf, and I have given this matter to Huang Kang. In a few days, there will be some differences. In the past few days, you two will restrain your subordinates!"

In front of Guan Shuo, Zhang Tai and Xiang Hu did not dare to act rashly, and responded timidly.

After the routine meeting, Guan Shuo left Huang Kang and ordered the latter to say, "You must formulate a strategy as soon as possible and find ways to severely damage the so-called pack of wolves."

It is not difficult to see that Guan Shuo's face was also a little angry at this moment, because he did not expect that the black tiger thieves in Kunyang would be so arrogant and arrogant. Even if the army under his command had "more than 100,000", the black tiger thieves would still dare to attack them at night and kill the lonely patrol soldiers.

Therefore, Guan Shuo urgently wanted to return to Zhou Hu, so that Zhou Hu could understand that there was only a dead end to fight against him!

"Yes!" Huang Kang responded seriously.

After saying goodbye to the head coach Guan Shuo, Huang Kang immediately returned to the straw shed where he lived and summoned several generals under his command, Song Zan, Chen Lang, Ji Wu, etc.

He said to the generals: "I think you know that the black scarf thieves in Kunyang are arrogant and attacked our patrol guards last night and killed many soldiers of our army. General Qu ordered us to eliminate these black scarf thieves wandering nearby as soon as possible and redeem their sins."

Song Zan, the general under his command, said: "General, the Black Trouble will change the number of wolf howlings every night. It may not be easy to ambush them."

Huang Kang shook his head and said, "I have already received some tips on this matter. The black scarf thieves will change the number of wolf howls every night, but they will not change again overnight. As long as we sacrifice a team, we can know the number of wolf howls they howl that night, and then use the tricks to lure them into an ambush, and catch them all in one go!"

Hearing this, Song Zan, Chen Lang, Ji Wu and others suddenly realized and praised them: "I am worthy of being the coach Qu!"

The only problem is that there must be a team to serve as a sacrifice, and the number cannot be reduced. After all, those black scarf thieves will call their companions through the wolf howl only when they find that there are many people on the opposite side and are not sure to eat them in one bite.

Thinking of this, Huang Kang looked around the generals present with a calm face and asked, "Who are you waiting for to be used as bait?"

The generals looked at each other. After a long time, a general named Zhu Yi gritted his teeth and said, "I am willing to use it as bait."

"good!"

Huang Kang nodded in admiration and assigned a mission: "Since that's the case, Zhu Yi, you will lead 200 soldiers to patrol the river bank tonight. If you are ambushed by a black scarf thief, go..."

He spread out the map, drew a circle on the map, and finally landed in a position. At this time, he continued: "Let's evacuate to this 'Grey River', and send people along the way to imitate the Black Trouble thieves to lure the black Trouble thieves in the nearby area to get closer to you. Jie Shi, Song Zan, Ji Wu and others will lie in the Hui River area, and Chen Lang and I will lead our army to ambush on the north side. As long as the Black Trouble falls into the trap, Jie Shi, we will wait for three bread clips to catch all these Black Trouble thieves in one go!"

"yes!"

Including Zhu Yi, the generals clasped their fists and responded.

For the ambush that night, Huang Kang borrowed two thousand soldiers from the commander Guan Shuo. Considering that the black tiger thieves and wolves that were haunted south of Shahe, there were actually only about a thousand wolves, these two thousand soldiers were enough to capture the other side in one go.

After dusk that night, Zhu Yi, the general under Huang Kang, led a team of 300 people, holding a torch and walking downstream along the Shahe River.

As the sky gradually darkened and the team gradually moved downstream, Zhu Yi became more and more nervous. After all, the more downstream, the more black tiger thieves appeared.

However, when Zhu Yi thought that Huang Kang had set up an ambush in the Huihe area in the south, he still felt a little confident. After all, what he had to do was not difficult. He was to lure all the nearby Black Tiger thieves to the ambush point before the three hundred soldiers under his command were injured or killed.

Facts have proved that his temptation was very successful this time. The black tiger thieves did not intend to let him go, a team of extremely conspicuous 300 people.

About the hour of Xu, Zhu Yi, who was marching downstream, suddenly heard a wolf howl around him, three long and two short.

"Black scarf thief!"

Immediately, the three hundred soldiers under his command, who were trembling, immediately panicked and screamed in a sad voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, countless people screamed, and it turned out that there was a wave of arrows shot from somewhere.

"Look south! Break south!"

Zhu Yi quickly ordered the entire army to break south.

At the same time, he instructed his confidant guards: "Hurry, imitate the wolf howl of the black scarf thief and lure more black scarfs to chase us!"

"yes!"

Several guards who received instructions in advance immediately turned around and left.

Soon, Zhu Yi's three hundred-man team heard the same howl of wolf again, as if more and more black scarf thieves were calling on their companions to pursue the team.

From a distance, I heard the sound of wolf howlings from the north, and Song Zan, Ji Wu and others who were ambushing the Huihe area cheered up.

Under the night, they vaguely saw a group of people coming towards them with torches. It was obviously Zhu Yi's Changsha soldiers holding torches.

Song Zan and Ji Wu, who were ambushing on both sides, let Zhu Yi's team go, and suddenly attacked, launching an ambush behind Zhu Yi's team.

"kill!"

Two 500 Changsha troops launched a pincer attack from both sides.

At this time, Zhu Yi, who had lured the black tiger thief behind him to the ambush point, could finally stop and take a breath.

Hmm?

After turning around, a little bit of shock appeared on his face.

Because he used the light of torches in the hands of some soldiers, he found in confusion that the team behind him did not seem to have suffered much loss, and it still looked like two or three hundred people...

Are those black scarf thieves not chasing them? Or...

『…』

As if he had thought of something, Zhu Yi's face changed drastically.

And just as he was about to shout loudly, suddenly, a hand stretched out from behind and covered his mouth and nose.

"puff"
