There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

After hearing Chen Deng's report, the potter felt very strange.

"What exactly is Sheng Xian thinking? If he is willing to hand over Jun Wu, Tao will naturally not treat him lightly, but he has to come up with a crusade against Yan Baihu, although I also intend to deal with this beast, But this matter should not conflict with him giving Wu County to me, is there any necessary relationship between these two matters?"

Hearing the potter's question, Chen Deng couldn't help laughing.

He persuaded Tao Shang and said, "I really can't blame Sheng Xian for this matter. In fact, Deng can understand him a little bit. After all, he is a sheriff in charge of the twelve cities. If he wants to let him out, he will let him out. No one feels that way. Chen Just imagine, Sheng Xian is just giving himself a smooth transition, and also wants to take advantage of this incident to see the strength of Fujun."

After a pause, Chen Deng said again: "Besides, it's not very pleasant to ask us to hand over the city if we threaten it, and pass it on."

The pottery merchant finally understood when he heard the words, the old guy still wants to save face.

"Forget it, anyway, this time I came to Wu County, the matter of the Shanyue sect's bandits is also an item to be done. If everyone has come, then by the way, Yan Baihu will be flattened, which can be regarded as getting rid of a harm for the local people."

Chen Deng nodded gratifiedly, and said: "It is the best for the governor to have such an idea, but before we crusade against Yan Baihu, we can inform Zhao Yu of Guangling County and tell him to respond at any time. The purpose of our dispatch of troops this time is to dispatch troops quickly after Yan Baihu, to conquer Guangling and Xiapi counties in the north, so that Ruo Rong will be caught off guard, so that we can achieve full success."

Chen Deng's military strategy has been recorded as early as in history. Few people can compare with his extraordinary ability to look at the world.

"Okay! If that's the case, then attack Yan Baihu first, and then quickly turn to capture the two counties of Pi."

Chen Deng suddenly said to Tao Shang: "Compared with the Fujun's [-] troops, Yan Baihu's [-] troops are not a cause for concern, but if we want to get rid of him, there may be another difficulty."

The pottery merchant was surprised when he heard the words: "Yan Baihu is just a gangster, and his subordinates are all gangsters. If you want to get rid of him, what's the difficulty?"

Chen Deng heard the words and sighed: "Yan Baihu's soldiers are nothing to be afraid of. The problem is that the strongholds of the Shanyue sect thieves are generally not cities. They hide in the mountains and forests of Wu County. Sometimes the local counties will send troops to suppress Shanyue. The sect thief, but there are so many mountains and forests in the south of the Yangtze River, there are no roads, and the depth is thousands of miles. It is generally difficult for unfamiliar people to find the way. If Yan Baihu hides in the deep mountains, if the army wants to suppress him, I am afraid it will not be easy. "

2 Chapter Ninety Xu Jing Recommends Talents (Fever, this chapter is less)

After hearing Chen Deng's explanation, the pottery merchant understood everything at once.

Bandit soldiers are easy to find, but bandit dens are hard to find.

This matter is really a bit difficult to say.

The potter and the generals discussed for two consecutive days, but none of them came up with a good way to find out Yan Baihu's lair, but according to the information from the school office in Dangwu County, they probably knew that Yan Baihu had stationed troops fifty miles south of Changxing County. In the junction of Shicheng Mountain and Baihu Mountain.

The problem is that Baihu Mountain and Shicheng Mountain occupy a huge area. Further south of Baihu Mountain are Mogan Mountain, Tianmu Mountain, and Longwang Mountain, which stretch for thousands of miles.

According to the routine, the pottery merchant could send his soldiers into the mountainous area to investigate the situation of the enemy army, but this would take too much time. When Yan Baihu was discovered, he didn't know that he would have to wait until the year of the monkey.

The pottery merchant didn't want to waste so much time with an unpopular Shanyue Qushuai.

Just kidding, I have to get married in half a year!

Just when the potter was scratching his head about this matter, a man came to join him with Xu Jing's recommendation letter.

It is said that he was a well-known ranger in the Jiangru area in the past, and he raised troops in Langling in recent years. There are contacts, and this ranger is one of them.

This person's name is Li Tong.

When the potter heard Li Tong's name, he was very happy and hurried to meet him.

In history, after Li Tong defected to Cao Cao, he has been guarding the Huairu land in the south for him. He assisted Cao Cao in defeating the warlord Zhang Xiu of Xiliang. He was used by Cao Cao in the Battle of Guandu just like Cao Ren. Wannan and Li Tong guarding Jianghuai are Cao Cao's most important rear protection.

During the Battle of Chibi, Li Tong supported Cao Ren who was cut off by Guan Yu, and made outstanding contributions.

Moreover, Li Tong had raised a team in the early years and became a powerful party, powerful in Jianghuai and Jianghuai.

In the middle period of Cao Cao's entrepreneurship, the land of Huainan was the most unstable. Sun Ce almost always wanted to collude with the local thieves in Huainan to invade this place, but he was often cracked and suppressed by Li Tong and tended to be stable.

Such a talent, but now because of his relationship with Xu Jing, he defected to his subordinates by accident, and the pottery merchant didn't know what to say.

He owed Xu Jing another favor.

Li Tong is tall and handsome. Since he was originally a hero, he has a bold personality. He looks at everyone with a confident smile, which makes people feel very comfortable.

"Li Tong has met Mr. Taiping!" Li Tong smiled brightly and handed Xu Jing's recommendation letter to the pottery merchant, rubbing his hands and said with emotion: "Tong has admired Mr. Taiping's name for a long time, and today is finally a chance to meet him!"

The pottery merchant asked Li Tong to sit down, and said with a smile: "There is a letter from Shang Shulang here, Tao will definitely not treat brother Wenda lightly, by the way, I heard that brother Wenda is a famous knight in the land of Ruchen , I also have a team under my command, I don’t know if I came here this time, did I bring it together?”

Li Tong said: "There are about a thousand people under Tong's command. In the past, most of them were knight-errants who wandered in the mountains all the year round. They were good at inquiring. I heard that the Fujun was going to attack Yan Baihu, the commander of Shanyue Qu, so Tong volunteered to recommend himself and lead these men into the army. In Baihu Mountain and Shicheng Mountain, find out where Yan Baihu is hiding his soldiers and horses on behalf of the government!"

When the pottery merchant heard this, he was overjoyed.

"If Brother Wen Da can do this for Tao, Tao will definitely not treat you and your brothers badly. I will now appoint Brother Wen Da as the captain of the school teacher, and my brothers will enter the school." The Shifu listened to it, but I heard that Baihu Mountain and Shicheng Mountain are both dangerous places, densely covered with mountains and forests, and it is extremely difficult to walk, brothers, will there be any danger and inconvenience if you go to spy on information?"

Li Tong said with a smile: "Don't worry about this, Mr. Taiping. The brothers under my command were all rangers in the past. It is not difficult to climb mountains and rivers, and walk through forests and valleys. At least they will go to the mountains and forests to investigate. It should be much easier than the regular army under the son's command."

After hearing this, the pottery merchant was completely relieved, he cupped his hands towards Li Tong, and thanked him: "Thanks to Brother Wen Da for solving Tao's urgent need, Tao is very grateful, and when the war is settled, I will take you back to Jinling City for a boat trip! "

Li Tong looked at the pottery merchant with a smile, and it took him a long time to come back to it.

"Mr. Tao, what is a painting boat? It seems that Tong has never heard of it."

The pottery merchant smiled and hooked his fingers at Li Tong, then put his mouth into his ear, and described in a low voice.

Li Tong's face turned red all of a sudden.

He timidly withdrew his head, lowered his head and said to the potter with a red face, "Mr. Taiping's heart, I really appreciate it, but I don't want to go to this boat, right? I've never been to a brothel before."

Pottery merchant stood up, walked to Li Tong's side, patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and said, "Brother Wen Da misunderstood, how can you call it a brothel?"

"That is?"

"It's clearly a whore boat."

After receiving Li Tong's order, Li Tong's subordinates immediately headed towards Shicheng Mountain and Baihu Mountain to search for Yan Baihu and his troops.

In fact, as for Li Tong's subordinates, whether they can find Yan Baihu, and after they find Yan Baihu, whether they will startle the snake and make the other party relocate, the potter really has no idea.

However, Li Tong has a good reputation in history. He belongs to the figure who cooperated closely with Cao Ren, the Eight Tigers of Cao Wei. Cao Cao's ability to hand over the chaotic Jianghuai land to him represents full trust in this person's ability.

If such a person had no point in his heart, he would not speak big words without proof.

Li Tong did not live up to the potter's expectations. In less than half a month, his subordinates had clearly investigated Yan Baihu's hiding place. What is rare is that Yan Baihu did not make a surprise discovery, and did Reported to the potter as quickly as possible.

Yan Baihu's stockade is located in the deep forest at the junction of Baihu Mountain and Shichengshang. The area is close to Mogan Mountain, and it is located at the junction of Wucheng County and Changxing County.

According to the statements of Li Tong's subordinates, Yan Baihu's stockade is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the place is hidden. The brigade of horses and cavalry cannot enter at all, and can only be broken by elite infantry.

This time when they came to the north to fight, among the 1 people of the pottery merchant, there were 1000 tiger guards and the Danyang elite soldiers led by Tao Ji. Under the guidance of the guide, he entered the White Tiger Mountain and took Yan Baihu and his group directly.

Chapter 291 The White Tiger Village

The terrain in Baihu Mountain is quite dangerous, and there are dense forests everywhere. Even a strong man with nothing in his hands will need two days to walk through the mountain. What's more, these soldiers in Jinling City have to carry dry food and weapons for war.

In this way, the speed will not be fast at all.

However, if you can't get up quickly, there are also advantages of not getting up quickly, that is, you have enough time to operate and formulate mountain forest tactics.
