The fatty's request to hunt with the colt made the colt nervous. Could it be that it was being suspected? But after thinking about it carefully, the fatty wasn't that scheming. Moreover, the request to hunt with the colt was very reasonable. There was nothing suspicious about it.
Perhaps the fatty was just curious. He didn't understand how the foal had been able to catch the pheasant so easily. It was always good to learn some secret, but the fatty's eagerness to learn gave the foal a headache. If the fatty kept following them, he wouldn't be able to communicate with the big foal.
But if he objected, it would attract Fatty's suspicion and the situation would worsen. Hence, he had to find a better reason to refuse.
"Fatty, hunting pheasants is not that simple. Aside from archery skills, there is another important point. You must be very light. You must not let the pheasant discover you. If it does, it will fly away like a wisp of smoke and never be found again. Do you understand?"
Foal said.
"Don't worry, don't worry. I will be careful."
Fatty promised.
Since Fatty was not willing to give up, Foal could only cooperate with Big Colt during the hunt to chase Fatty away.
The two of them tiptoed forward, afraid to make even the slightest sound. However, after a few dozen steps, because there were no pheasants in sight, the colt softly neighed a few times. It was communicating with the colt, but what it told the fatty was that it was imitating the cries of its own pheasants.
When the big colt heard the communication signal, it hurriedly flew away. Naturally, the little colt and Fatty heard it.
"Fatty, did you hear that? The pheasant flew away. It's all your fault."
Foal said.
Fatty panicked and retorted, "How can you blame me? You were the one who imitated the pheasant and flew away. How can you blame everything on me? "
The colt retorted, "Pheasants are very smart, and their eyes are very good. When they hear a sound, they will carefully observe the direction of the sound. When they discover something strange, they will immediately fly away. You are so fat, and your waist is thicker than a tree trunk. It must have seen you and flown away."
"I was born this fat. What can I do? It's my fault!"
Fatty was angry.
"Fatty, it's good that you know you are fat. Go back and rest! You will only cause more trouble. If you want to eat the pheasant, listen to me. I am small and won't be found easily. "
Foal said.
Fatty said helplessly, "Alright! But I am not in a good mood. Give me half a pheasant later. "
"Sure! We'll split it. I'll take the head and you can have the butt. Haha! "
Foal said with a smile..
"How tiring. I'm going to sleep for a while."
I'll take a nap. "Fatty sighed and prepared to sleep on a big rock a few steps away. He could not be bothered with the ten bandits chopping firewood nearby. Nothing would happen in a group of two anyway.
The little colt finally got rid of the fatty's entanglement. Now, he could successfully reunite with his older brother.
Foal was very careful as he was afraid of being discovered. He even looked back from time to time. After making sure that no one was following him, he bravely met up with Big Colt.
"What was that fatty doing just now? Did he suspect you? "
Big Colt asked.
"No, he wanted to learn how to hunt pheasants. I tricked him into going back. How was it? Did you prepare two this time?"
Foal asked.
"Don't worry. One male and one female. How was it? Did you find out where the bandits were going?"
Big Colt said.
"Yes. They're going to Fox Tuo Mountain on the east side of the river. I even found out the route. This is the map."
As the foal spoke, he took out the map from his bosom.
"Second Brother, good job. You've done a great job. The General will be very happy when he knows."
Big Colt said happily.
"Big Brother, the red line is for the grain transport. The bandits of Summer State City are in charge of it. The green line is the route that the main force of the bandits will take. The purple line has more than a hundred bandits. They'll probably leave in a few days."
Foal said.
"Okay, I'll remember it. I'll go back and report to the General."
Big Colt said.
"What about me? When will I leave? "
Foal asked.
Big Colt frowned and said hesitantly, "Second Brother, you can't leave. If you leave so easily, the bandits will know that the plan has been leaked. If they split up and run away, it'll be difficult to catch them. It's best to catch them when they move together."
"Will the soldiers hurt me? How can I prove my identity? "
Foal said worriedly.
"Don't worry! I'll move together with the army. I won't let anything happen to you. "
Big Colt said and took out the two pheasants that were hidden in the grass.
"Big Brother, be careful. I'm going back."
The colt used an arrow to stab the two pheasants to death, and then carried the pheasants back.
In just a short while, Fatty was already snoring loudly in his sleep. His snoring was so loud that it could be heard from a hundred steps away.
"Fatty, Fatty, the pheasants are here. We've got them."
Foal shouted and put a pheasant on Fatty's neck.
Even so, Fatty was still sleeping like a dead pig. He had no intention of waking up.
"Forget it, I'll sleep for a while too!"
Foal closed his eyes and rested. He was only woken up when the ten bandits finished chopping the firewood.
"Pheasants, two pheasants. Brother Ma is amazing!"
"We'll be able to eat our fill today."
"Let's split up and prepare! The sooner we roast the meat, the sooner we can eat. "
The bandits were all talking at once.
The ten bandits split up to prepare the firewood and wash the pheasants. Soon, everything was ready.
"Let's make it clear first. I'll only give you one pheasant. I'll share the other with Brother Ma."
Fatty said domineeringly.
"Brother Fatty, your stomach is so big and you still eat so much. You should eat less!"
One of the bandits said unhappily.
"Shut up. It's good enough that you can eat it. The ten of you can share one pheasant. Share it yourselves! This is a rooster. Give it to me. "
Fatty snatched the pheasant and personally roasted it over the bonfire.
The bandits were naturally angry but did not dare to say anything. They were not the ones who hunted the pheasants. It was good enough that they could have a bite. If they raised any more objections, they would not be allowed to eat it.
"Brother Ma, I heard that the scenery east of the river is beautiful. There are more trees in the mountains than here. There must be more pheasants! If that's the case, we can eat pheasant meat more often when we reach east of the river! "
One of the bandits said.
Hearing this, Foal sighed in his heart. The soldiers would soon encircle them, but they still wanted to eat pheasant meat in the river east.
"Don't worry! Brothers, as long as you follow me, you can eat pheasant meat every day. "
Foal said, drawing a pie in the sky for the bandits.
The bandits were still eating the pheasants. At the same time, Big Colt was already on his way to the camp. He wanted to send this extremely important map to Lao Guo as soon as possible so that it would be easier for the army to deploy.
In the cave where the bandits stored their food, Ang Lee was taking a rest. Although the room outside was more spacious, the temperature was too low. It was warmer in the cave, at least ten degrees warmer than the room outside. People did not need to wear cotton-padded clothes to keep themselves warm. In short, it was very comfortable.
Lao Guo and Lao Chen also stayed in the mountain cave. After all, it was more comfortable inside than outside. In order to make room and ensure the fresh air inside the mountain cave, most of the food, especially the salted meat and salted vegetables, had been taken away. In this way, there was no smell in the mountain cave anymore. They could even sleep inside at night.
"Madam, I told you to go back to Zhou City. Why did you come here? It's so dark in the cave. It's too much for you."
Ang Lee held Li Hanlu in his arms and said.
In order to make it more convenient for Ang Lee and Li Hanlu, a small room was specially partitioned with a curtain in the cave. In this small room, no matter what Ang Lee and Li Hanlu did, no one outside could see them. However, the curtain's sound-proofing effect was too poor. If they made any noise, people outside could hear it. As long as Ang Lee and Li Hanlu did something, they would definitely make a lot of noise. Therefore, in order not to disturb others, Ang Lee could only endure it. At most, he would touch her to satisfy his craving when he could not hold it in anymore.
"What's wrong? Where my husband is, there's warmth. I don't want to live alone in Summer City. That's what I feel wronged about. "
Li Hanlu said in a low voice.
"You're right. Where your husband is, there's warmth. It's a pity that the living conditions here are not good. I can't even take good care of you. It's so frustrating."
Ang Lee stroked Li Hanlu's cheek gently and said helplessly.
"My husband, you're not serious again. You're thinking of that again."
Li Hanlu rolled her eyes at Ang Lee.
Ang Lee sighed unhappily and said, "Alas! I've been holding it in for several days. How can I not? After we destroy the Horse Gang and go to Summer City, I'll definitely make it up to you. "
"The kind that can't get out of bed?"
"Hahaha …"
Soon, Big Colt returned to the camp and immediately sent the information to Lao Guo.
Lao Guo was very happy when he heard the news. He hurried into the cave to discuss with Ang Lee how to send troops to intercept the Horse Gang. However, he found that Ang Lee was still sleeping.
"Assistant Minister Li, are you still sleeping? The Foal has sent a message. "
Lao Guo said loudly.
Ang Lee hurriedly got up and left the small room, asking, "What's the news? Are the Horse Gang running away?"
Lao Guo said with a smile, "Yes, the Horse Gang is about to set out in two days. They're really going to Hedong, the Fox Tu Mountain near Jinyang. It's a good place! These are the three routes that the Horse Gang will take to Hedong, which is almost the same as what we guessed before. But we didn't expect that they would have three routes. We guessed that there would be two. "
Ang Lee walked over and looked at the map drawn by the Foal. He nodded and said, "This little Horse Gang is also a talent! To be able to obtain such detailed information, this will be easy to handle. As long as we know the route of the horse bandits, we can directly send troops to intercept them. In this way, we can completely eliminate these horse bandits without wasting a single soldier. "
"Yes! With this map, we can easily destroy the Horse Gang. This time, we'd better capture them alive and let them turn over a new leaf. "
Lao Guo said.
"Lao Guo is right. We'd better capture them if we can. However, if we encounter any Horse Gang that dares to resist, we don't have to be polite and just kill them directly."
Ang Lee said.
"Lao Guo, I heard that you've got the information about the Horse Gang. Show it to me."
Lao Chen rushed in and took the map with a smile.
"The enemy has three routes. Each of us will be responsible for one route. We can destroy them all at once."
Lao Chen said after reading the map.
"Good! Lao Chen, you'll be responsible for the middle route. There are more than a hundred enemies on this route, but all of them are elites. Lao Guo and I will be responsible for the north route. There are more than two hundred Horse Gang on this route, which is the main force of the Horse Gang. As for the south route, because there are only a dozen Horse Gang, we can just send some troops to stop them. This route is nothing to be afraid of. "
Ang Lee said.
"Okay, no problem. I have no objection. A hundred people is not a small number. At least this trip is not in vain."
Lao Chen agreed with pleasure.
Lao Guo also had no objection. He nodded and said, "That's a good arrangement. We'll all have something to do. But Lao Chen, don't just focus on killing. Don't forget to capture some Horse Gang. The more, the better."
Lao Chen didn't agree. "These Horse Gang are always doing bad things. Why don't we just kill them all? Why do we have to capture them? It's too troublesome."
Lao Chen had never trusted these Horse Gang, who were full of bad habits. Even if they had never killed anyone, in his opinion, they were hard to change their bad habits. It would be best to kill them all.
"Lao Chen! Many of these Horse Gang haven't killed anyone, so they're not bad people. It's best to give them a chance. But if they don't surrender, just kill them directly. "
Lao Guo said.
"Okay, I know what to do."
While speaking, Lao Chen's eyes were fixed on the map. He was choosing the best ambush place. Now that they knew the route the Horse Gang would take, it was naturally the best to set up an ambush at the strategic place where they would pass by. In this way, they could catch the Horse Gang off guard and get the best result with the least loss.
There was only one goal in everyone's strategy, which was to not let any of the Horse Gang escape. Since they were going to set up an ambush halfway, they had to surround all the Horse Gang. They had to choose a very good position so that the besieged Horse Gang would have no way to escape. They could only surrender obediently or be wiped out without any resistance.
If the mounted gangsters were to walk on a flat road, they would definitely be able to kill some of the soldiers. However, the mounted gangsters did not walk on a good road. As such, it created a very good opportunity for the soldiers to ambush them. This allowed the soldiers to easily catch all the mounted gangsters in one fell swoop.
