The soul wears a mother's womb, and was overheard by the emperor Laozi

The tents were all simple tents, and there was no place to sit. They were just a desk with a simple map hanging on the back, that's all. When they came in, these people were just standing.

After Long Lin glanced at it, he smiled and began to ask.

"Fifth brother, you said you found the bandit's lair, is it near here?"

After hearing this, Long Qi nodded.

"Long Lin, you came at the right time. As soon as the army arrives tomorrow, you will directly attack the bandit. I am still worried that you will be delayed. Since you have come to the territory of Shuizhou, you have found it just in time." The lair of bandits, I should naturally invite you to come and have a look."

"Isn't the army around here?" Long Lin asked with a smile.

After listening, Long Qi probably gave some simple explanations, but the rest of the people did not speak and listened quietly.

After Long Lin heard this, he roughly understood everything.

It turned out that that day, when the leader of the summit was elected, the manpower arranged by Long Qi had already been secretly eyeing those people who looked like bandits.

In fact, he had already thought of this point.

After watching the last battle, those bandits stopped staying and hurriedly walked down the mountain.

Those who had been in the dark naturally would not let them go, and immediately followed quietly, keeping a close eye on the bandits.

After arriving at the foot of the mountain, these people did not gather together, but scattered, and began to withdraw from Qingtan County from different directions, in twos and threes, and after leaving Qingtan County, they walked towards the distance talking and laughing.

These people chatted as they walked, all about the selection of the leader.

Their expressions were obviously full of excitement, and naturally, they all relaxed their vigilance. Such a situation was undoubtedly a good thing for the officers and soldiers following behind.

These people were not very fast at first, but after walking for a while, they found the horses they had prepared in advance, and then rode straight towards the distance, and the speed of leaving suddenly became very fast.

Under such fast driving, they did not pay attention to the situation behind.

Those disciples who followed had already thought of this situation, they arranged people in advance to lead the horses not far from them and followed them all the way. Seeing the other party riding away, they hurriedly joined their companions and continued to follow them on horseback.

It should be because of riding a horse and galloping. The bandits in front didn't think much, just rode on the road with their heads covered.

In this way, he followed all the way to the vicinity of this place.

This mountain is very remote and hidden. Few people would come here on weekdays. Naturally, Long Qi did not expect that the bandit general's den would be set up here. If it was not for tracking, it would be impossible to find it.

Although the bandits who were followed did not take the same road after leaving the city, most of them returned to this place in the end, and then followed a mountain road to the top of the mountain.

With this discovery, someone immediately sent the message back directly.

After receiving the news, they compared it with the map and immediately confirmed this place. In such a remote place, the maps prepared in the counties had no marks on it, and there were almost no villages nearby.

Chapter 502 Ask Fu Di

Having already discovered the bandit's lair, Long Qi naturally would not delay.

Immediately led everyone, left Qingtan County directly, and rushed here. To be on the safe side, Long Qi actually kept someone in the county government of Qingtan County, and put the county magistrate under direct supervision.

After hearing this, Long Lin immediately laughed in his heart.

There is nothing wrong with the approach. The county magistrate is very likely to be involved with the bandits behind him, and it is also possible to report the news, but in this case, controlling the county magistrate is actually meaningless.

And such an obvious trap, Long Qi seemed to be willing to slip into it.

In fact, he wasn't particularly sure in his heart, he just felt that the bandits behind him couldn't have missed this matter.

To be tracked and found so easily is indeed a bit too easy.

After Long Qi came here with his troops, he easily noticed that there were indeed a large number of bandits on that mountain.

And this mountain is not ordinary.

It is a big mountain with three hilltops next to each other. There is a huge space on the top of the mountain, and the number of bandits that can be accommodated on it is also very large.

From this point of view, this is really a huge bandit den.

The noisy sound did not reach below, but the rising smoke could still be easily seen.

At the same time, General Shangguan Yunzhou on the other side also received the news immediately.

He personally led a part of the army, and rushed towards this side day and night. There are so many troops, it is obviously impossible to march at the same time, and he can only lead a part of them to come here first.

After arriving, he ordered people to carefully survey the surroundings, and finally found this hidden mountain depression, which became their temporary camp. At the same time, the army behind was also rushing towards this side.

They have surveyed the situation near the foot of the mountain several times, and it can be said that they understand it very clearly, but the specific situation on the mountain is not particularly clear. Although several strong men were sent up to investigate several times, the above The guards are extremely strict and it is not easy to approach.

But looking from a distance, you can see a magnificent cottage.

Inside, the bandits were all dressed up fiercely, with a ferocious appearance and huge weapons, which could be clearly seen from a distance.

The bandits in the depths couldn't see clearly, but the bandits outside didn't relax at all. They strictly guarded the four places above the fence of the cottage, and at the same time, there were still groups of bandits patrolling below.

Whether it was day or night, the number of patrolling bandits did not decrease, and there were guards everywhere in Nuoda's cottage.

Behind these three mountains, there is a natural cliff with a few dry trees growing on it, and other than that, it is a smooth cliff.

In other words, there are only three directions to go up the mountain.

One side is covered with dense trees, and it is convenient for a few people to walk, but it is obviously impossible for a large group of people to pass through it, and it is not suitable for marching.

The remaining two sides are places where the bandits take special care of. Not only are they patrolling in the cottage, but even the two roads up the mountain are also patrolled by bandits every once in a while.

Long Qi and Shangguan Yunzhou discussed and decided to attack directly.

Apart from a strong attack, there is actually no good way. The bandits stay in the lair above, and it is naturally impossible to get down easily. It is naturally very difficult to attack upward. If it is easy, the bandits will not live On the mountain, there must be a certain truth.

Throwing a stone from above can easily roll down directly, but if it is thrown from the bottom up, the difficulty will naturally increase, and the thrown stone may rebound again and fly directly to the bottom.

But in the barracks, there must be archers.

These well-trained archers must be able to hit the target well even if they attack from the back.

Taking advantage of the darkness, to launch an attack directly, to catch the bandits by surprise, it is still very possible to take down the bandits on the top of the mountain in a short time.

After the army behind arrived, it happened to be nightfall tomorrow, so it would be a good idea to take a short rest and launch an attack directly in the middle of the night.

After understanding this, Long Lin nodded with a smile.

"Fifth brother, you arranged it very well. I think this is a good idea. Then wait until midnight tomorrow and launch the attack directly."

"Sixth brother, do you think it's good too? To be honest, I have no other choice, so I came up with this stupid idea. These bandits must be one of them. As for whether there are any behind them, I actually don't know Sure."

Long Qi's expression showed a trace of complexity.

In his eyes, Long Lin's expression didn't change much.

"Fifth Brother, don't think it's so complicated. After breaking through this den, you will definitely be able to catch some living bandits. After careful interrogation, you should be able to gain a certain amount. Let's talk about the understanding of bandits. , of course it is their fellow bandits who know better."

"Well, that's exactly what I plan to do. After catching a few bandit leaders, I'll interrogate them directly, so I don't have to worry about prying the bandits' mouths open."

Long Qi spoke very calmly, and there was a hint of conviction in his eyes.

But after hearing these words, Long Lin subconsciously froze for a moment.

Don't worry about prying your mouth open?

In the past, he also felt that under torture, most people would open their mouths directly, but after learning about Yin Shamen, he suddenly discovered that this matter may be applicable to ordinary people, but to real rebels, it is not at all. It won't work.

Encountering this kind of situation, the Yin Killer would commit suicide without hesitation. Even if they were caught by them, he would definitely not open his mouth.

Long Qi is so confident, it's just that he hasn't encountered it yet.

Now that everything has been prepared, just wait. As for the purpose of inviting them, Long Qi didn't say much, and didn't even mention it too much. He just said that he invited them to come and have a look.

This is a major event in the military, it's not a joke, and it's not a big deal, so why invite them here to watch it?

What kind of medicine was sold in Long Qi's throat, he couldn't figure it out for a while.

At this moment, Long Qi's gaze was on Fu Di.

"Fu Di, these ideas are all the thoughts of your three senior brothers. What do you think about this? Do you have any other opinions? If you have any, you might as well speak out boldly. If you can help the court kill the bandits, it is also yours." Great contribution, after I go back, I will definitely reward you for your merits, and your share is indispensable."

Fu Di's eyes were originally very confused, but after hearing Long Qi's question, he came back to his senses, and a trace of surprise appeared in his eyes immediately.

His Royal Highness Longqi asked him these words, maybe there is a certain intention?

This is indeed a good way to connect from the front to the back, but there is undoubtedly a premise, that is, the bandits on the mountain did not know that they would suddenly attack in the middle of the night.

If preparations are made in advance, the fierce battle will become a fierce battle.

Chapter 503 Forming a Siege

But this idea was immediately denied by Fu Di.

It is impossible for all the bandit lairs above to be idiots. If they knew that there was an army of Longqi near the foot of the mountain, they would definitely take action, and it was impossible to just stay on top and remain indifferent.

What's more, in this period, it is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity for the bandits on the mountain.

As long as a large number of bandits are sent to attack here, the one who loses troops will definitely be Long Qi, and there is even a possibility that he can capture the three highnesses of the imperial court.

Of course, this possibility is extremely small.

These highnesses are surrounded by strong men who accompany them to protect them. These people's skills are probably capable of fighting in front of those martial arts powerhouses. It should not be a big problem to protect the highnesses from leaving. .

But while attacking them, the main bandits can go down the mountain and evacuate directly. In this way, even if Longqi's army arrives, what will be left is only an empty fortress, and if you want to find those bandits who are hiding, you may have to Not an easy task.

The plan proposed by Long Qi is indeed an excellent solution at present.

It's just that there are still some small details in it. Long Qi didn't mention it when he said it. He just said these ideas, which were the plans that his three senior brothers came up with.

But whether his three senior brothers had thought of these details, he couldn't be sure in his heart at all.

The reason why he was distracted just now was because he was thinking about these things.

But although he thought of it, he couldn't say it directly.

First of all, if he brought it up, it would undoubtedly be slapping the three senior brothers in the face.

Don't look at the few of them who are together on weekdays, they don't like each other, but those are just things from when they were young. Now that there are outsiders, his heart is naturally more inclined to his three senior brothers.

Secondly, when he was traveling, His Royal Highness Long Lin said that he only has eyes and no mouth. The purpose of this Long Qi to invite them here is still completely unclear, and it is even more important for this Long Qi to ask him directly. There is an obvious meaning of probing, and there is even a hint of solicitation in it.

He is a member of Long Lin, and his position has always been very firm.

In any respect, he didn't make any sense.

Looking at Long Qi, his cheeks showed a hint of embarrassment.

"Your Highness, I also think your idea is very good. I don't have any other ideas about it. If I have any, I will tell you the truth."

It's strange to add silently in my heart.

After hearing this, Long Qi showed a faint smile.

He also knew in his heart that Fu Di followed Long Lin, so naturally he would not say anything openly in response to his question.

He just planted a seed, that's all.

Leaving a window, maybe Fu Di and Long Lin will have conflicts in the future, maybe they will leave directly and come to work under his command.

A good man should be in the army. As a counselor, if he is not in the army, what else can he plan?

I'm afraid there is only one left, to help Long Lin seek the only throne.

He may give in on other things, but this one, absolutely not, if it becomes an obstacle, then maybe it can only be eradicated in the future.

Long Qi's eyes were very calm, revealing a trace of gentleness.

"Okay, Fu Di, it's normal to have no thoughts for a while. If you have other thoughts at any time, you can come to me and mention them at any time. Of course, you can also tell my sixth brother Long Lin first, and he will pass it on to me. also."

Long Qi finished speaking, and looked at Long Lin with a smile.

The temptation should be slight, not too much, and Long Lin should be scruples, after all, they are here, and they haven't torn their skins yet.

"Okay, Your Highness."

Fu Di smiled and replied respectfully.

Long Lin has been listening, but did not speak.

Even on the cheeks, there is not much change.

He just smiled and watched Long Qi's actions.

"Sixth brother, eighth brother, I know that you already have very good family members around you. Originally, it was not suitable to bring these people here because of the important military camp, but the situation is special, and there is no need for formalities. Some vulgar dry food can only be wronged, and you can only make do with it."

"Fifth Brother, it's okay, just eat something." Long Lin replied with a slight smile.

Now hiding here, some food is good enough. It must be impossible to make a fire and cook food. They can only eat simple dry food. This is normal. It is not that they have not eaten dry food. At that time, most of the time they were not eating some ordinary dry food.
