Poor mountains.

Really poor.

The mountain is not big, but it looks like a large bales of earth piled up with rocks and soil. Not only can one not see a tree, but there are very few grasses, and there are some low bushes of thorns growing sparsely.

Zhu Youzhen at the foot of the mountain looked at the bandits on the mountain and felt very moved.

I thought this would be a game of cat-and-mouse and cat-and-mouse easily, but I didn't expect it to be what I am now.

The first thing I didn't expect was that when this bandit team attacked Tai'an City, they even released scouts to guard the outside world, which made his raid plan bankrupt.

The second thing I didn't expect was that the leader of the other party was very decisive. He clearly had only more than a thousand cavalry, and at that time the other party had almost captured half of Tai'an City, but after discovering himself, he immediately made a decision and withdrew from Tai'an City.

The third one did not expect that this bandit team had extremely strict orders. If they said they had retreated, they would retreat neatly. Zhu Youzhen had also wiped out many bandits. Generally speaking, when attacking such a relatively wealthy city, bandits would generally lose control, killing and looting became the theme, and the bandit leader's control over the team would be minimized. However, this understanding was broken by the bandit in front of him.

The fourth one did not expect that this bandit actually kept a warning hand on their retreat, which also caused Cao Bin to cut off his retreat and give a fatal blow on the way they fled, and no longer had the right to use his power.

After the Taishan bandits abandoned Tai'an City, the attached mobs immediately scattered among the four towns and eight fields, and once they were hidden in their hands, how could you tell whether he was a bandit or a civilian? If it were the case in the past, Zhu Youzhen would certainly take the easiest method, that is, to kill them all. But now, he would not do this.

The bandits gathered on the poor mountain now are obviously the core team of the Taishan bandits, but it gave Zhu Youzhen a headache. Although the poor mountain is not big, the terrain is extremely dangerous, and it is bare and can't be covered. What makes him even more uncomfortable is that the stones of all sizes are all over the mountain, which makes his cavalry not even rush up.

Let your cavalry dismount as infantry attack? If you do this, of course the bandits on the mountain will not be able to stop it, but how many people will die?

Zhu Youzhen led his troops for many years and was a baby. When he was still a baby, he was held in his arms and rode on a horse. He could barely climb up the horse and had his own war horse. He started to lead troops as a teenager. From suppressing bandits to fighting various armies, he had extremely rich combat experience.

The current Taishan bandits look like they are dressed in a ragged manner, and only half of them have armor, but Zhu Youzhen glanced at the defensive lineup arranged by the opponent on the mountain, and his head hurts.

It’s not that he can’t fight, the problem is, he doesn’t want to pay any price. He feels sorry for one of his three thousand men! His strength is limited at present, and he feels too unpaid to make him suffer deaths and injuries in front of these bandits.

"This bandit is not simple, the leader is a soldier." Cao Bin stood in front of Zhu Youzhen and looked at the mountain in surprise. The bandits on the mountain were not idle, and were still busy making arrangements at this time.

"General Cao, if you say that if we launch an attack, how many people will die before we can attack the mountain and take them down?" Zhu Youzhen turned around and asked.

"The Third Highness, if you attack the mountain, you will suffer about a hundred casualties. It is hard to say how many people die. Our armor is good. These bandits should not have many crossbows, and most of the bows and arrows should be soft bows." Cao Bin said. "After killing the mountain to fight with the enemy, if the opponent is very strong, there may be more people who die."

Zhu Youzhen's face looked a little ugly: "They have a lot of crossbows! You just came here and didn't know the situation in Tai'an. They almost controlled half of the city and robbed a lot of crossbows from where the garrison in the city. There might be fewer crossbows."

Cao Bin's face suddenly became ugly. The efficiency of crossbows breaking armor is much better than that of bows and arrows. Within thirty or forty steps, crossbows breaking armor can almost reach 100%.

"Around three hundred people, they should be able to wipe out their opponents!"

Zhu Youzhen snorted coldly: "But I don't even want to pay the price for thirty people."

There was a noisy sound in the distance, and the two of them looked towards Tai'an when they heard the sound.

"It must be Wu Kejin from Tai'an Prefecture," said Cao Bin. "It seems that there are about two thousand people."

Zhu Youzhen looked at the rolling team in the distance with a bad expression, "The dignified official army, the marching lineup is not even as good as a bandit. The bandits in Taishan have fled to the poor mountain for so long, and even you have been working. They have only rectified the team at this time. I guess if he hadn't known that we were here, he would not have dared to leave the city at all."

Cao Bin smiled and said, "If we were not here, Tai'an Mansion would probably have fallen into the hands of Tian Guofeng at this time."

Zhu Youzhen narrowed his eyes: "This is a waste, General Cao, said before that this family has a huge fortune. If we don't come, the money will be cheaper than this Taishan bandit."

Cao Bin laughed knowingly: "So if we take this money, isn't it the right thing to do? In the hands of this waste, it is just used to eat and drink, and be arrogant and extravagant. If it falls into the hands of His Highness, it will be able to do a lot of serious things."

"Will he give it to me willingly?" Zhu Youzhen said with a smile, touching her chin.

"Why don't we get it ourselves?" Cao Bin said: "This Wu covets the goldfish and makes the people in the country live in poverty and bandits. Your Highness came to Panglu on his order this time, and he was already responsible for inspecting the world for Your Majesty. Such corrupt officials are not enough to calm the anger of the people."

"Yes!" Zhu Youzhen said: "For Daliang, such a scumbag will die. However, these clan tyrants have soldiers in their hands. I guess, the people he can gather now have more or less related to his Wu family! I really have to work hard to kill him?"

Cao Bin pointed to the Taishan bandits on the poor mountain and said, "As the prefect of Tai'an Prefecture, Wu Kejin is now trapped by us. Isn't it his local official's duty to wipe out the bandits? Just in time, we can also see how powerful this bandits are?"

"Just as General Cao said." Zhu Youzhen clapped his hands. "He is here, let's see him first and see what kind of person Wu Kejin is!"

The army stopped from afar and the group rushed over.

"Wu Kejin, the governor of Tai'an Prefecture, has seen Your Highness. His Highness came and was supposed to welcome him. He did not want the bandits in Mount Tai to make trouble and prevent the officials from leaving the city. Fortunately, your Highness is famous and the bandits are scared of being famous. Now he is surrounded by Your Highness here. It is actually the surname of the people of Tai'an. Pingji is also the blessing of our Daliang!" Wu Kejin bowed to the ground, bowed respectfully, and stood up to look at Zhu Youzhen.

What a handsome man!

Looking at Wu Kejin in front of him, Zhu Youzhen was a little lost for a moment. This person was really handsome and was really a handsome man. He was absolutely incomparable to this appearance. At this moment, he stood in front of him, neither humble nor arrogant, and looked righteous. While speaking, he occasionally looked at the bandits on the poor mountain, and his anger was beyond words.

"Is Tai'an Mansion so insane? How dare the mere bandits attack Tai'an Mansion?" Zhu Youzhen looked at the other party and said coldly. "If we hadn't happened to come, wouldn't Tai'an Mansion be broken by Taishan bandits?"

When Zhu Youzhen questioned him, Wu Kejin was calm and unhurried: "Your Highness, the leader of Taishan bandits, Tian Guofeng, was originally a native of Tai'an. He was very familiar with the local area and had many accomplices. However, in the past, he did not dare to be so arrogant. It was because the coach recently drew a large number of troops from my Tai'an, which made him so arrogant. But even so, Wu had a way to destroy him."

Zhu Youzhen glanced at the other party sarcastically: "Is that so? Why do I see that the other party has already attacked Tai'an Prefecture?"

Wu Kejin smiled and bowed, "Your Highness is unknown. The bandits of Mount Tai come and go like the wind and are always difficult to wipe out. This time, they dared to attack the city. In order to make a living forever, the Xiaguan set up a plan to invite you to join the house. He wanted to lure this bandit into the city. Xiaguan had already set up a net of heaven and earth in the city and was about to wipe them out in one fell swoop!"

Listening to the other party's words, Zhu Youzhen and Cao Bin were both dumbfounded. They really didn't expect anyone to be so shameless, saying lies with their eyes open, without blinking, and when they said this, their expression was natural, and they looked like everything was under control.

The world is so great that everything is strange.

After looking at Cao Bin, Zhu Youzhen said with a slight smile: "So that's it. That's why I'm so troublesome, and it ruined the major affairs of the Prime Minister Wu."

"No, no, no. Although the subordinate decided this plan to annihilate the bandits in one fell swoop, after all, after all, after the bandits enter the city, it will cause great losses to the Tai'an Prefecture City. Now your highness has made a clever plan, but it can surround the opponent on this lonely mountain where no grass can grow. Not only can it annihilate the bandits, but it also prevents the people of Tai'an Prefecture from being disturbed. This is really a great achievement to benefit the people! The subordinate official thanks the third prince for the people of Tai'an!" Wu Kejin spoke sternly and bowed to the ground at the same time.

Zhu Youzhen laughed: "If I say this, I feel much more comfortable. By the way, will Master Wu introduce these heroic and heroic generals to me?"

"These people are all officers in the Tai'an Prefecture commander. We will introduce them to your highness!" Wu Kejin summoned a row of generals behind him with a spring breeze and introduced them to Zhu Youzhen one by one. As expected, all of them were surnamed Wu.

"Okay, okay, it's true that they are all young heroes." Zhu Youzhen said with a smile: "I didn't know that the Master Wu had made a brilliant plan to ruin the major affairs of Master Wu. Now, I will no longer have any more troubles. I will escort the formation for Master Wu here and ask the Master Wu to send troops to destroy these bandits, right?"
