Li Guodong did not stay in Pianguan County for a long time. The next morning, while the drunk Zhang Xianzhong had not woken up, he called the three brothers and prepared to leave Zhang Xianzhong's camp.

"The adoptive father is still sleeping, are you leaving without saying goodbye?" Zhang Dingguo led his men to stop Li Guodong.

"I have agreed with your adoptive father that we will cooperate with the business. Now we are going back to purchase goods. When the goods arrive, we will come to your place again." Li Guodong said.

Zhang Dingguo had nothing to say, so he had to let Li Guodong and the others out of the city.

"Little brother, I believe that one day we will fight side by side and eliminate the Tartars together!" Li Guodong turned around and said.

Zhang Dingguo was stunned, confused. He was young and did not understand what Li Guodong meant.

Li Guodong left Panguan County and brought the 200 refugees with him. He left Panguan County as fast as possible and arrived on the edge of the Yellow River. Han Dashan and his men had already been taking rafts to pick him up.

"Third brother, you bring these people back first, and we have to go to General Cao's place." Li Guodong told Han Dashan to bring 200 refugees back to his Shabigou Village first.

Han Dashan said: "Brother, Manager Wang's caravan has returned and has brought back a lot of good things! He also wanted to ask you how we can deliver the goods to the Mongolians."

"I'll go and go back quickly and let him wait for me there for a few days."

Li Guodong took Cao Lei and He Xing, one by three horses, to Guangchang to meet Cao Wenzhao.

Five days later, the three arrived at Cao Wenzhao's camp.

As soon as he arrived at Cao Wenzhao's camp, someone had already reported it. Cao Bianjiao took people out to greet Li Guodong and others. As soon as he saw Li Guodong, he went to the shoulder and punched him: "Brother, you went to the thief's nest to spy on military affairs, but I was worried that I would be exposed. I was still afraid that you would be exposed and slaughtered by the thieves!"

"How is that possible?" Li Guodong laughed, "Jiannu didn't even take my life for my brother. How could he keep me alone in a few thieves?"

The two walked into Cao Wenzhao's central army tent. Seeing Li Guodong and his nephew walked in, Cao Wenzhao couldn't wait to ask: "Does your nephew go to the thief's den to spy on military information? Are there any gains?"

"The harvest is quite big. General Cao quickly asked someone to pick up paper and pen. I will draw a map of the thief's defense." Li Guodong said.

Cao Wenzhao sent someone to get paper and pen. Based on the memories he observed in Hequ and Panguan, Li Guodong drew a distribution map of the bandit camps on the paper, and marked the checkpoints, military forts, intersections, etc. everywhere. After all, Li Guodong was an engineer in his previous life and was still very good at drawing maps.

"It's not bad! My nephew actually remembers it all in his mind." Cao Wenzhao stroked his beard and nodded with satisfaction.

"I can only remember it in my mind. If I had drawn the drawings at that time, if I was accidentally discovered by the thief, I would have been chopped down by the thief as a government official." Li Guodong said with a smile.

Next, Li Guodong took the opportunity to offer a plan to Cao Wenzhao: "Although the bandits set up a strict defense, the terrain of Hequ and Pianguan counties is complex, easy to defend and difficult to attack, the bandits are not very strict in their defense, and they are also rushing to expand their personnel. We can take advantage of this opportunity to let people get involved in the bandits and find an opportunity to assassinate Wang Zhe Jiayin. As long as Wang Jiayin dies, the mobs will naturally disperse."

"But who can I send to assassinate the thief leader Wang Jiayin?" Cao Wenzhao asked.

"I have to ask secretly in the army that some people in the Shaanxi army may know this thief."

Cao Wenzhao thought for a moment, then pondered and said, "Okay, I can just ask me to do this."

At any time, Cao Wenzhao called the central generals of the army and asked them to secretly investigate which Shaanxi people were in the army. If there were Shaanxi people, immediately find out if it had anything to do with Wang Jiayin. Someone came to report: "Return to the general! We found that there is a famous soldier in our army named Zhang Liwei, and he turned out to be Wang Jiayin's brother-in-law!"

"Hurry, bring him up!" Cao Wenzhao was overjoyed.

Not long after, two servants escorted Zhang Liwei, who was tied up in the central army's tent.

"Zhang Liwei, do you know that you are guilty?" Cao Wenzhao slapped the table suddenly.

"General, the villain is innocent!" Zhang Liwei knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

Cao Wenzhao sneered and slapped the table hard: "Zhang Liwei, I have found out about your affairs! The thief Wang Jiayin is your brother-in-law?"

Zhang Liwei's face suddenly changed drastically, and he kept kowtowing, his forehead hit the ground, making a sound: "General, please spare me! General, please spare me! Although Wang Jiayin is a villain's brother-in-law, the villain is loyal to the court!"

Cao Wenzhao sneered: "According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, where should the crime of treason be dealt with?"

A military judge standing in the central army tent said: "The first gangster in the rebellion will be executed by Lingchi. Among the three tribes, all males over 16 years old will be killed, female family members will be maids, and all slaves, wealth, land and houses will be confiscated!"

"Did you hear it?" Cao Wenzhao sneered repeatedly, "Wang Jiayin is the leader of a traitor! According to the Ming Dynasty, he is the three tribes of the Yi tribe! He is your brother-in-law and belongs to the three tribes! You can see for yourself, what should you be punished? I am about to go out to fight against the thieves. I will detain you for a few days first. When the day of the battle, I will kill you to sacrifice the flag!"

"General, please spare your life! The villain is willing to commit crimes and make meritorious service!" Zhang Liwei burst into tears.

"General!" a servant pleaded, "Zhang Lizhen has made great contributions in Tongzhou! He fought bravely and once killed two Jiannu heads in a row! Please give him a chance to commit crimes and make meritorious service!"

Li Guodong also helped plead: "General, give him a chance to make meritorious service!"

Even Cao Bianjiao knelt down and pleaded: "Uncle, give him a chance. Zhang Liwei was very brave in the battle of Tongzhou, so he would be punished on the battlefield. If he was ruthless to the thief, it would not be too late to kill him with another knife."

Cao Wenzhao snorted coldly: "Diet crime can be avoided, but live crime cannot be escaped. Come on! Take it down and beat a hundred military sticks!"

Several people immediately dragged Zhang Liwei down and beat a hundred military sticks. However, the people who beat the military sticks were Cao Wenzhao's confidants. The one hundred sticks sounded very loud, and the sticks seemed to be raised high, but they were actually not heavy when they fell down. After hitting a hundred military sticks, several soldiers carried Zhang Liwei to the camp and then informed the whole army of Zhang Liwei that he was beaten with a military stick.

When there was no one else in the central army tent, Cao Wenzhao said to Li Guodong: "Nephew, in fact, I have asked my confidant to find Zhang Liwei in private. He promised to destroy his relatives for justice and assassinate the thief leader Wang Jiayin. He just beat him one hundred military sticks, which was just a trick of flesh and blood."

Three days later, Zhang Liwei sneaked out of the military camp and stole a horse and ran away.

"General! General! Not good! Zhang Liwei ran away!" Someone came to report to Cao Wenzhao.

Cao Wenzhao immediately stood up, went to Zhang Liwei's barracks, and asked other soldiers. He heard that Zhang Liwei knocked out his companion, sneaked out, and went to the stable to steal a horse and escape.
