Sima Shang is a very majestic old man, with his hair and beard as white as the snow in winter. He seems to be much older than Xiahou Ang, but his energy seems to be very energetic. Does he still have any confidence in the attack on Huxin Island this time? It seems that he is just a look of not working hard.

The three of them had just exchanged greetings when Huantian brought two people tied up in.

"Just... Ah Marquis. I am fortunate enough to be humiliated and caught two spies from the water bandits last night."

"Prince, please spare me, please spare me. I'm a good person, I'm not a spy at all. I'll beg you to see him clearly." The two of them were very sad crying, and knelt on the ground and kowtowed like pounding garlic.

"Good people, good people leave the city in the middle of the night. Good people leave the city in the middle of the night and don't walk through the city gate, but they still drill dog holes? Don't tell me that the city gate is closed. The ghosts in Yueyang's city gate have gone where they are, what are they? A very big living person who is open and unyielding city gate does not leave, and they have to drill the dirty dog ​​holes. Who would believe you say you are not a spy?"

Huantian kicked the man hard.

"Uh... My wife is sick and wants to go outside the city to get medicine."

Yun Xiao was speechless. This was the level of intelligence personnel in this era. Is it that healing is collected in the middle of the night? Did the elder brother make up the lies? Please don’t insult my IQ anymore.

Don't want to waste time on these two goods, Yun Xiao leaned over and asked, "Okay, two kind, I'll ask you, you'll answer your questions. If I'm satisfied with this, you'll go home and continue to be your kind family. If I'm not satisfied with this, I'll borrow the heads of my neck and I'll use it. This marquis still lacks two heads to sacrifice flags. Does Shihu's food exist in the island in the middle of the lake?"

"The official is young and I don't know who Shi Hu is, so I'll ask the official to spare my life."

"Put down and kill. Now you say."

The guards rushed up like wolves and tigers, pulled the guy who was quibbling and dragged it out.

"Officials, the youngest ones say everything."

The guy who was pulled out struggled desperately, and the shouts were distorted. He scratched the ground with his hands, as if holding on to a tiles could prevent him from being dragged away. However, the tiles did not play any delaying role, but instead scraped off his fingernails. The shouts gradually faded away, leaving only two blood marks on the ground.

A scream came from outside, and the guy kneeling on the ground shivered all over. He collapsed on the ground and couldn't get up, and his crotch quickly became wet.

"He didn't have the chance to say it anymore. Now you say. Where does Shihu's food exist?"

"The little little guy said, all the little guy said. Tiger Master, oh, it's not a stone tiger. Most of the robbed grains are found in the Okura Island in the middle of the lake. The Okura is very strong made of stone. Only a small part is scattered in each village for the daily consumption of each village."

"Oh, how many people are stationed in the island in the middle of the lake. How many warships are there?"

"There are about three or four thousand people stationed in Dazhai, Huxin Island, and about two hundred warships. Among them, there are forty or fifty large ships, each of which can take a hundred people. Each of the remaining black-sailed ships in Dadu can hold about ten people."

"How many people are there in other water villages?"

"The villages vary in size, ranging from a hundred to three to five hundred."

In order to survive, this guy said everything.

"Take it down and take good care of it."

"promise"

Two local heroes took the guy down.

"What do you think of this confession, two generals."

"What this person said should be true. This is roughly the same as what we usually know, and there is nothing new." Sima Shang said with a beard.

"Well, I also think that this person is telling the truth. The orders of the Marquis of Lintong should be given, and the orders said that you can control the troops in the south of the Yangtze River. We will wait for the Marquis of Lintong to give instructions."

Xiahou Ang was relatively sloppy. He kicked the ball to Yun Xiao's feet in one sentence. The meaning is very obvious. If we can't beat you, don't cause trouble for us. He is also an old sloppy man.

Yun Xiao thought for a while and said, "The two generals, Dongting Water Bandits are known as thirty-six villages. If we follow the person just said, each village will be 200 people. In total, there are 70,000 or 80,000 people. In addition, the five or six thousand people in the Great Village of Huxin Island, the total number of Dongting Water Bandits must be more than 10,000.

If we go to attack Huxindao Water Village now, the thirty-six villages around us will inevitably respond. In this way, we may be attacked from both sides, and the battle situation will be very unfavorable to us."

"The analysis of Lintong Hou is very reasonable. The previous attacks on the Huxin Island Water Village were all because the outer water villages supported each other. This caused us to suffer heavy casualties and failed."

"Yun Xiao thought, first cut off his wings. This time, the King of Jiujiang sent 7,000 naval troops, and the King of Changsha sent 5,000 naval troops, plus the 3,000 people I brought. Our number has exceeded the number of water bandits. I think from tomorrow, we will clear along Dongting Lake. One by one water camp, and more than 10,000 people attacked a water camp with a rush of mountains and seas.

The information just now said that a water camp had only three or five hundred people, and a small one was only a hundred people. They would definitely not be able to resist such an offensive. We would break one and burn one completely, forcing his main force to fight us. Without the support of the water camp, our ship was larger than theirs. We would definitely defeat it.

If he doesn't care and let us destroy the village. Eat one by one, we can also get more than 7,000 heads. Then turn around and deal with the Huxin Dazhai, and the battle will be decided."

"What if the lake bandits shrink completely and all retreat to the lake's village?"

Sima Shang raised his own doubts.

"That's better, it's a battle to surround the big village in Huxin."

...

Neither of the two veterans spoke, thinking that this was Yun Xiao’s whimsical imagination. They had seen the strength of Huxin Dazhai, and it was impossible to conquer it with just over 10,000 people now. However, Yun Xiao is now the General of the Conquest of the South who is in charge of the Jiangnan Army and horses, and both veterans resisted and did not refute.

Then we will rest in Yueyang for a day, and we will set out tomorrow and clear along Dongting Lake.

"promise"

The two veterans still support the removal of the feathers. After all, more than 10,000 people are still sure to beat three to five hundred people.

After seeing off the two veterans, Yun Xiao’s first thing he did was to sleep back. Last night, he was tortured by those two guys and didn’t even sleep well. When he was washing his face, Yun Xiao was filled with resentment at his swollen nose, which looked like a national treasure.

The sun is very warm, and it is the most comfortable thing to have a meal and have a recliner in the courtyard to rest in the courtyard after eating. The whole body is warm, and the cool breeze with water vapor is blowing from time to time, offsetting the annoying heat. Every gust of wind blows, the whole body feels comfortable. Yun Xiao feels like an old man who is warming against the wall in his later generations.

I just fell asleep in a daze and was woken up by a squeaking sound. Damn, a group of mice were fighting. I picked up a brick and threw it over to the fight. I continued to rest with my eyes closed, looking for the Zhou Gong I just met.

Something fell on his face and followed the sand. Yun Xiao opened his eyes angrily, preparing to find the perpetrator to beat him up, but he was already dispelled. A dark thing fell to his face, and Yun Xiao quickly flashed.

"Bang" a piece of tile fell to the ground and fell into eight petals.

Yun Xiao was shocked and sweated all over. Damn it. If he hadn't woken up in time, he would have been opened by the tiles.

There was a squeaking sound from above my head, and the damn mice were again.

Yun Xiao was angry and it would be fine if he didn't let him sleep. Now he has become more and more serious about personal injury. Didn't he occupy your house yesterday? The house is for people and not for mice.

Those who searched the intestines and thought about the tricks to kill rats in future generations, rat medicine, and arsenic, which is not easy to deal with. Besides, the side effects of that thing are too great, and the mouse dies and can't find it no matter which one you want. Yun Xiao didn't want to find a rotten rat in the face, as it would affect his mood for eating.

The mouse clip is feasible, but the speed is too slow and I guess I can't hit a few when I leave tomorrow. Suddenly, Yun Xiao remembered that he saw a method online in later generations, and the materials were easy to find. Yun Xiao decided to try it.

The soldiers asked the soldiers to find a few crab shells that they had eaten. It was the time when the autumn was clear and the crabs were fat, and the guys caught a lot of them. They used the rice-pounding food to pound the crab shells very much, and then found a large bucket of raw paint to scoop out a spoonful of stir-frying them.

There is no iron cage, but I found a lotus jar with a round mouth and big belly. The wall is quite smooth. It looks like flies will split when standing up. The most important thing is that the lotus jar is very deep and the mouse will definitely not be able to climb up.

He ordered the soldiers to bury the lotus jar into the ground, with the mouth of the jar slightly above the ground. He ignited the mixture of raw lacquer and crab shells, and a strange fragrance suddenly spread.

I have to admit that this thing is so fragrant when it is burning. Yun Xiao even wants to ask someone to catch crabs, and he hid in the house with his guards.

Some guys who were protruding their heads began to appear in the corners. They stood up with their back legs and hugged their front paws in front of their chests. They sniffed their little noses into the air. They looked left and right and saw no one. A few bold guys slipped out and ran towards the lotus jar. They lay down on the edge of the jar and greedily sucked the fragrance coming out. The two front paws worshiped the jar devoutly, looking very funny.

Finally, one of them could not stand the temptation and jumped into the lotus vat without hesitation. Then another one, Yun Xiao widened his eyes. In just half an hour, no less than a hundred rats of all sizes jumped in.

The last mouse jumped in, and no new guys appeared nearby. Yun Xiao took a wooden board and covered the lotus vat. He didn't dare to see the situation inside. Yun Xiao was afraid of having nightmares. A group of furry guys were crowded together, and even thought about it, he felt afraid of people.

In the tank, there were waves of uncomfortable all over and squeaking sounds that made people feel itchy and scalp. Hay soaked in half was lit and threw it in. Another large piece of bluestone was found to cover the wooden board. Along the gaps of the wooden board, bursts of smoke rolled out.
