Chapter 166: Cheating Zhao Heihu
Soon, Du Guiyuan and fifty people set off with Sun Changxiao.
Yunzheng also arranged the arrangements in full swing.
Listening to Yunzheng's arrangement, Shen Luoyan couldn't help but secretly complain.
This bastard is really shady!
Even these bandits are guilty!
I really don’t know how this bastard’s head grew.
How could there be such a cunning trick?
After Yun Zheng finished setting up, Shen Luoyan immediately asked curiously: "Why did you let Du Guiyuan go? Can't you let Gao He or Zuo Ren go?"
Although Du Guiyuan was once the leader of the Bloody Clothes Army, he had a broken arm after all.
If he encountered any danger, Du Guiyuan might not even be able to escape.
"Because he broke his arm."
Yun Zheng explained: "If you were Zhao Heihu, would you guard against a person with a broken arm?"
"This……"
Shen Luoyan suffocated slightly, then shook his head slightly.
As long as they don't know Du Guiyuan's identity, who will protect him from being a cripple!
"Well, you're right."
Shen Luoyan snorted softly and said, "You can definitely send a few people to follow the old man and capture the thief first!"
Listening to Shen Luoyan's words, Ye Zi beside him also nodded.
Yes!
Catch the thief first catch the king!
It shouldn't be difficult to capture Zhao Heihu by sending a few experts out.
"Your idea is feasible, but I have my own considerations."
Yun Zheng first agreed with Shen Luoyan's idea, and then continued: "First of all, we don't know the strength of those bandits, and we don't know whether they can capture Zhao Heihu."
"Secondly, even if Zhao Heihu is captured, these people are all bandits and they may not just surrender in order to save Zhao Heihu's life. In that case, our people will be in danger."
"Of course, the most important reason is that I want to use these bandits to train soldiers and let those who have never seen blood see blood!"
Listening to the three reasons given by Yun Zheng, Shen Luoyan couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
She wanted to refute Yun Zheng, but she didn't know how to refute.
The three reasons given by Yun Zheng are completely tenable and reasonable.
She tried to refute it forcefully, but she got the worse result.
"Okay, I guess you're right!"
Shen Luoyan curled his lips and hummed: "You are quite clever. You were able to think of such a roundabout way in such a short period of time."
"He was originally smart, it's just that you thought he was too stupid!"
Ye Zi smiled sweetly, "I told you, your husband is a tiger that eats people without spitting out their bones. His cunning is far beyond your imagination!"
Shen Luoyan suffocated slightly, and then said harshly: "No matter how cunning he is, I don't believe he will lead the army in battle!"
After just a few days of studying martial arts with Xiao Ding, you will be able to lead an army in battle?
If that were the case, Dagan would be full of generals!
"You don't need to believe this!"
Yun Zheng shook his head and smiled, and suddenly said to Shen Luoyan seriously: "Remember, fighting the enemy is not just about winning! It is about winning at the minimum cost! You lead hundreds of people to attack this group of bandits. Shanzhai, with its well-trained training and equipment, should indeed be able to win, but equally, our casualties will not be small!"
"I……"
Shen Luoyan suffocated slightly and stopped talking immediately.
Although she didn't want to admit it, she had to admit that what Yun Zheng said did make sense.
If they attack forcefully, they have a high chance of winning.
After all, the Shenwu Army is affiliated with the Sixth Guards of the Imperial City.
This is the best of the best.
Five hundred soldiers drawn from the Shenwu Army can easily deal with bandits three to five times their size.
But no matter how elite the troops are, they will inevitably suffer casualties when fighting the enemy.
Trading the lives of these soldiers for the lives of the bandits, one for ten, is a loss!
"When your plan succeeds, come and teach me a lesson!"
Shen Luoyan glanced at Yunzheng dissatisfied, stood up and ran away.
When Yunzheng and Ye Zi saw this, they couldn't help but look at each other helplessly.
……
Halfway through, Du Guiyuan separated from his fifty people.
Those people have to ambush first.
After most of the bandits were lured out of the village, they then entered the village and launched a surprise attack.
"When you see those bandits later, try to speak as little as possible and let me do the talking!"
When they were approaching Qingyang Mountain, Du Guiyuan solemnly told Sun Changxiao.
"Uh-huh."
Sun Changxiao nodded repeatedly and asked uneasily: "Is this really okay?"
Du Guiyuan replied: "As long as you don't talk nonsense!"
"well……"
Sun Changxiao nodded repeatedly, looking uneasy.
Not long after, they arrived at the foot of Qingyang Mountain.
Seeing something strange in the woods in the distance, Du Guiyuan knew it was the bandit on guard.
Du Guiyuan helped Sun Changxiao get out of the carriage, pretending not to know that there was anyone nearby, and just stood there looking around, looking uneasy.
Suddenly, several bandits rushed out of the woods not far away.
Du Guiyuan quickly made a look of fear and pulled Sun Changxiao to squat down.
Seeing how cowardly they were, the bandits immediately relaxed their vigilance and surrounded them with laughter.
"Are you here to redeem the young master of the Sun family?"
The leader of the bandits asked cheerfully.
"Yes Yes……"
The two nodded fearfully.
However, Du Guiyuan was just pretending, but Sun Changxiao was really afraid.
"Has the ransom been brought?"
The leader of the bandits asked again.
The two nodded with panic on their faces.
"take away!"
After confirming that the two men had brought the ransom, the leader of the bandits immediately waved his hand.
Escorted by several bandits, they finally arrived at the bandit's village halfway up Qingyang Mountain.
The village has a mountain at its back and a narrow mountain pass in front of it. It is indeed an easy-to-defend but difficult-to-attack place.
Of course, this is only for ordinary soldiers.
If it's an elite team, that's a different story.
After a lot of trouble, they finally met the bandit leader Zhao Heihu.
Zhao Heihu was tall and thick-set, with a fierce light in his eyes. He looked like a ruthless character at first glance.
Seeing Zhao Heihu, Sun Changxiao was trembling with fear. Before Zhao Heihu could speak, he tremblingly handed over the box in his hand.
"Old guy, you are quite sensible!"
Zhao Heihu snorted coldly, grabbed the box, opened it, and started counting.
Inside the box were bits and pieces of cash and some banknotes of various denominations.
This was also specially arranged by Yun Zheng.
Soon, Zhao Heihu's face fell, and he looked at Du Guiyuan and Sun Changxiao fiercely, "Why is it only more than ten thousand taels? Are you kidding me?"
Facing Zhao Heihu's gaze, Sun Changxiao suddenly trembled and wailed in panic: "Master Tiger, this is the old man's entire property! Please be kind to Master Tiger and let me go!"
"Master Hu, my uncle really only has so much silver, please be kind to Master Hu..."
Du Guiyuan also began to beg.
"If you don't have enough money, do you still want me to let him go?"
Zhao Heihu looked at the two of them fiercely, "Do you think I am doing business with you and you are willing to bargain?"
Listening to Zhao Heihu's words, a group of bandits also burst into laughter.
Du Guiyuan and Sun Changxiao begged again, but Zhao Heihu remained unmoved.
"You damn boy are pretending to be pitiful here!"
Zhao Heihu snorted coldly and looked at Sun Changxiao with a joking face, "Old man, you like to bargain, don't you? How about I give you fifteen thousand taels of silver and give you half of your precious son?"
Half of it?
Upon hearing Zhao Heihu's words, Sun Changxiao's eyes suddenly became dazzled and he almost fell to the ground.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Du Guiyuan cautiously said to Zhao Heihu: "Master Hu, as long as you let my cousin go, I... I can tell Master Hu a way to make money..."
