On February 23, the eighth year of Chongzhen, Daihai

A beautiful lake water is rippling with blue waves and boundless. The lakeside is surrounded by reeds, dense willows, and green grass is like green. The breeze blows by, creating a ripple.

Although Dai Hai is called the sea, it is actually a mountain lake with a slightly salty lake and a wide lake surface, so it is called the sea.

Since encountering the Fan family convoy four days ago, Fang Jingnan has been more vigilant. When walking, he would ask Meng Tiezhu and others to ride fast horses to investigate in the surrounding area for five miles to avoid being caught off guard.

Fortunately, no accident happened again and came to the Daihai side successfully.

"Thank you, Brother Jing Nan, for protecting each other all the way. This place is only thirty miles away from Liangcheng. You can get there in one day when you walk faster." After a few days of getting along, Zhang Shouren had seen it clearly. Fang Jing Nan was the leader of this group.

"You are polite, Mr. Zhang," Fang Jingnan bowed politely, "Thanks to your old advice along the way, I have a clear understanding of the geographical environment here."

Fang Jingnan also learned more about how extraordinary the origin of the Zhang family in Puzhou was. In addition to the chief minister Zhang Siwei and the minister Wang Chonggu, even Zhang Juzheng was offered by their family. Looking at the entire Ming Dynasty history, only Wang Yangming, who was called half a saint, could compete with him.

Zhang Shouren smiled and said, "It's just some landforms. I'll remember to go to Puzhou to tell you about Datong Town."

Fang Jingnan held his hand and said, "Okay, sure!"

...

Amid the shouts of the carriages, Zhang Shouren and others headed to Liangcheng. Fang Jingnan watched for a long time until the convoy couldn't see it carefully, and then he exhaled heavily and said, "Okay, let's start working too."

Fang Jingnan's plan is very simple. He once had a friend who drove a long-distance truck. According to that friend, driving a truck is most afraid of meeting a village tyrant who specializes in cheating people. The way to cheat people is also very simple. It is to sprinkle iron on the road that your truck must pass, and the truck will blow up tires when passing through it. Then they will set up a tire repair point not far away. When you ask the price, you can start repairing one thousand yuan.

"Dig, dig quickly, dig deeper the hole, it will be useless if it is too wide." Fang Jingnan rode on the horse and chatted endlessly.

"Hey, hey, there are some separation between the two holes."

"Please cover some things at the entrance of the cave, don't let people discover it easily,"

"I'm tired now? I can't stop. What if someone comes, it's enough to dig a hundred meters first."

After digging for an entire hour, more than 200 trapped horse pits were dug in an orderly manner on the 100-meter horse path.

Meng Tiezhu dropped the shovel, touched the sweat on his forehead and said, "You kid, no wonder you asked me to buy only four shovels. You don't have to dig it out."

Fang Jingnan laughed, without any shyness, "I said it earlier. I have never suffered hardships and can't do this labor work."

He followed him and said, "Don't rest first, let's finish half of the rest."

Chen Shanhe had heard of this plan before. As soon as Fang Jingnan said that, he immediately untied a bag of sacks from the carriage, and filled a whole bag of powder made of croton.

This is a good place that Fang Jingnan has picked for a long time. Two hundred meters away from the roadside is Daihai. Chen Shanhe led two servants to sprinkle a large piece of croton flour on the tender grass by Daihai.

Fang Jingnan's plan has two links. First, if the horse's legs can be injured, then there will definitely be vehicles behind. As long as there are not too many people, they can act. Secondly, if the other party is very alert and finds the horse's trap in advance, it's okay. It will take some time to fill the pit. Daihai is right next to it, and the grass is ready-made. Isn't it beautiful to loosen the horse and drink some water and eat some grass?

Fang Jingnan believes that this method will definitely work. You see, the old thief Chen Youfu won’t agree.

After a while, after preparation, Fang Jingnan and the other two were all wearing armor and lurking in a hill three hundred meters away from the horse road, quietly waiting for the arrival of their prey.

Half an hour passed... no movement!

Fang Jingnan cheered and said, "Don't worry, you need patience when you wait for the rabbit."

Two hours passed... no movement!

Fang Jingnan took off his heavy armor and exclaimed: "Persistence is victory, and the dawn is right in front of him."

It was getting late... there was still no movement!

Fang Jingnan shoveled a few grass cakes as pillows, lay on the hill, eating noodles, and biting the dried meat dried meat in one bite, "We must be prepared for a long-term war of resistance!"

The evening breeze hit, the earth was quiet, and there was only the sound of the waves of the sea of ​​Dai to his ears.

Fang Jingnan looked at the stars in the sky and sighed: "There are such a dazzling and colorful starry sky, people from later generations will not be able to see it!"

Sleeping came, and the five people were slept in a thick quilt and slept among more than a dozen war horses. Although the smell was not pleasant, it was very warm.

There was no dream all night, and the first ray of sunlight shone in the morning, Fang Jingnan woke up and turned over to look at the horse path in the distance. It was still empty and there was no figure.

Fang Jingnan finally understood what the so-called rampant merchants in this era meant to be rampant.

The other four people had already woken up and were skillfully eating dry food in water bags, with no anxious expression on their faces. Yesterday he cheered others up, but in fact, he was the one who was really anxious.

Chen Shanhe was biting the jerky meat. When he saw him wake up and look around, he chuckled and said, "When I used to be doing nights, I couldn't see a person for a few days. The grassland outside my mouth was too big. It's normal, it's okay."

"I'm afraid you're in a hurry," Fang Jingnan said stubbornly: "I made the plan, and I have the confidence to accomplish things."

Chen Shanhe grinned and said, "My father didn't say that it can't be done, so I think it can be done."

Hearing this, Fang Jingnan couldn't help rolling his eyes. Chen Shanhe was not that kind of stupid person, and he was obviously teasing himself on purpose.

Fang Jingnan looked around and said, "The vision here is very good. I don't think everyone is on standby with armor and just line up for one person to watch."

Meng Tiezhu also leaned forward and said at this moment: "It was supposed to be like this yesterday. I thought there was something special about your arrangement like this."

Fang Jingnan's old face turned red and kicked her over, "Get out of your egg, you're the first one."

After being kicked, Meng Tiezhu didn't care. He stuffed the bread left in his hand into his mouth, patted his butt, and put on his armor with a smile.

Keep going, the sun slowly approaches the three o'clock.

Suddenly, Chen Shanhe lay on the ground and listened for a while, then stood up and said, "There is a convoy coming over, with a population of more than 300 people, three miles away."

Before I could wait, I could see a convoy's captain's dragon from afar, slowly driving over.

"My grass," Fang Jingnan said in surprise: "A big fish is here, everyone should put on their armor and prepare to catch fish."

The four of them helped each other, and in a few minutes they were all dressed in armor, lying quietly on the side of the hill, watching quietly.

After about a quarter of an hour, the convoy finally arrived in front of me, with more than a hundred cars and horses straddling more than a mile long.

The convoy's flag was embroidered with a big word "field".

Fang Jingnan didn't know that there was a big businessman named Tian in Shanxi, and even if he could remember, he wouldn't care. At this moment, he watched the convoy move forward tightly.

100 meters, 80 meters, 50 meters, 30 meters...

I was walking very slowly with the cart. I put the trap myself in my first time hunting. I was so nervous.

Finally, under Fang Jingnan's anticipated gaze, the convoy finally entered the range of the trapped horse pit.

Fang Jingnan looked happy and shouted inwardly: "You are going to go quickly!"

But at this moment, I had just entered more than ten meters deep. When the first horse was not steady, the old handheld that had been driving the car for decades, raised the whip and shouted loudly.

But after walking two or three meters forward, the entire convoy stopped.

"I'll go, this caravan seems to be very experienced."

Fang Jingnan sighed inwardly and secretly cheered up: "Shut down, keep calm, there is a second link."

The convoy stopped, and obviously a man in charge walked to the front of the road like a man in charge, and looked forward. After a while, he seemed to have noticed something. He waved his hand and flashed a few savages from behind him, inquired around the two sides of the road, and then turned around to report.

Because the distance was too far, Fang Jingnan couldn't hear what they were saying, but before a while, the man's eyes looked at the direction where they were hiding.

"I'm going, what's going on?" Fang Jingnan said.

"We were discovered." Chen Shanhe said in a deep voice.

"What? No, we just show our eyes. We shouldn't see this far." Fang Jingnan said authentically without trusting it.

"It's not that I saw us, but in this area, only this hill can observe the road, and the people on the road cannot see this."

Sure enough, there were shouts in the convoy, and soon a dozen knights gathered together and rushed towards this side.

"There are so many people and horses, there is no formation, and it is not elite." Chen Shanhe commented and asked, "Can you fight?"

"Fuck, run!" Fang Jingnan gave him a blank look, turned his horse's head and was about to run.

Meng Tiezhu said: "Is it going to escape? In fact, if we rush, we may not necessarily lose."

But as he said so, Meng Tiezhu did not rush forward, but obeyed the orders, rushing two horses to follow the horse and adjusting the direction of the evacuation.

"What does it mean to escape? We are here to rob, not to fight desperately. This is called tactical retreat, you know a ball!"

A group of five people and fifteen horses rode away without stopping. The knights behind chased after him for a while, but the distance was getting farther and farther away. He had no choice but to turn around and give up.

Three hundred meters apart, Fang Jingnan and the other five rode good horses, so it was easy to catch up.

After running for more than five miles, everyone slowed down and found a leeward depression next to them. The five people finally stopped and looked at each other.

"Now... how to do it?" Meng Tiezhu and Fang Jingnan were still more familiar with each other and asked bluntly.

The so-called leader is not better than his subordinates in everything, but requires making the most correct choice very decisively and decisively at the most critical and urgent moments of the team.

Fang Jingnan pondered for a while and said, "Old Chen has paid all his property to prepare for this operation. If he returns empty-handed, he will probably bury us. So, we have to go and continue to stay."

Ah? What's the decision! Because I can't go back, I have to stay outside.

When I heard it suddenly, I felt that this idea was too casual, but when I thought about it carefully, it seemed to make sense. Because, what else would I do?

Perhaps this is the leader's natural intuition. When Fang Jingnan and the other two returned to their original place, the Tian family's convoy had already filled the trapped horse pit, and everyone had to dig the pit again. This time, not long after, a small convoy made of dozens of cars and horses slowly walked into everyone's eyes.
Chapter completed!
