Bandit, an ancient and classic profession.

In the era when Pei Yue lived in his previous life, this kind of profession only existed in various film and television dramas, and most of them were villains who set off the protagonist's image, shouting old-fashioned lines such as "I drive this mountain", holding bright and shining

The sword jumped out from the roadside, provoked the protagonist, and then was brutally killed. Unless the bandit was a very beautiful female character, his end was to get a box lunch as soon as possible.

But in this world, Pei Yue knew that bandits were a not uncommon group.

Mountains, business roads and even waterways, as long as it is a convenient place for people to gather, a group of extremely vicious bandits may jump out at any time.

Although there has been peace in Daliang for a hundred years, due to the scarcity of official officials and the backward level of social development in this era, the probability of encountering bandits in the wilderness is no lower than that of encountering a group of wild beasts.

But Pei Yue also understood that if there were bandits ravaging Thaksin in the counties below, but in the most beautiful place in Kyoto, where 200,000 troops gathered inside and outside the city, would anyone raise the banner of bandits here?

Do you think your life is too long?

However, Qin Xian's face couldn't be faked, and it was impossible for this sentry officer with a slim future to come all the way to play tricks on him. So what on earth was going on?

Pei Yue invited Qin Xian to the shade of the willow tree to temporarily avoid the hot summer afternoon sun, and asked with confusion: "Brother, why are there bandits near Kyoto?"

Qin Xian glanced at Deng Zai and Qi Min, who were standing in the sun and had not followed them. He was a little envious that the bastard in front of him had such a sensible and loyal follower, and then sighed: "Brother, to be honest with you, this matter has already happened.

The commotion has been going on for several months, and no one paid much attention at first. Just like you said, where is Kyoto? No matter how courageous a bandit is, he can just randomly pick out a soldier from the three major camps and kill him.

They killed them all. But after two months of continuous suppression, not even a hair of the bandits was caught, but many people were killed. I heard that the adults in the Xifu were furious, and all the officials in the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion were furious.

I was so angry that I jumped on my feet."

Pei Yue became increasingly puzzled. According to Mr. Xi, because of the threats from Wu and Zhou Dynasty on the border, and in order to maintain the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, the three major battalions in Kyoto have been fulfilling the rules of rotating a small number of troops to the border for actual combat in recent years.

, so the three major battalions are not veteran soldiers who have been raised in Kyoto all year round. At least most of them have gone to the border and seen blood. How can they actually lose their troops against a group of bandits?

Qin Xian continued: "Dear brother, do you know the Hengduan Mountains southwest of Kyoto?"

Pei Yue suddenly realized: "Brother, are you saying that these bandits are hiding in the Hengduan Mountains?"

Qin Xian said helplessly and angrily: "That's exactly it!"

The Hengduan Mountains are a natural wonder in Daliang. They stretch for thousands of miles, are bordered by mountains, and have dozens of peaks over a thousand feet. The nearest peak is only a hundred miles away from Kyoto. The mountains are densely forested, wild beasts are rampant, and the environment is very special.

It is dangerous, and so far only the fringe areas have been barely explored.

Pei Yue thought for a while and analyzed calmly: "It still doesn't make sense. Although the Hengduan Mountains are not very far from Kyoto, they are still a hundred miles away. Even if those bandits are plundering near Kyoto, can they do it in a short time?"

Can we retreat into the vast mountains within a short period of time? The cavalry battalions of the three major battalions are not vegetarians, so how can they not catch up with them?"

Qin Xian said: "In the earliest days, officials from nearby counties and towns reported to the court that villages under their jurisdiction had been plundered by bandits. The governor's office naturally sent troops to destroy them, but it was impossible to catch these people. Often the court

The army arrived at the scene of the incident, but the bandits had disappeared without a trace. Later, after several pursuits, it was discovered that these bandits had actually fled into the Hengduan Mountains. Dear brother, you also know that the mountainous area is so big that even if all three battalions are lost,

Going in to find someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack. After the adults in Xifu found out, they set up an ambush based on the previous bandits' plundering tracks. This time they finally defeated one of them and cut off the southwest route to the Hengduan Mountains.

Force them to flee in other directions, and then pursue them in all directions."

Pei Yue glanced at the hundreds of soldiers on the straight road, all equipped with horses, and said with a hint of gratitude: "Thank you so much, brother, for coming here to remind me when you were chasing the thief."

Qin Xian cupped his hands and said: "That day at the banquet, I saw Brother Xian being besieged by the gang. Brother Yu didn't say anything to help. He felt really ashamed. After he returned, he was scolded by his father. Now that Brother Yu is chasing the thieves through this place, he also knows that Brother Xian

My brother is right here, and if others can’t do it, it’s natural to remind him.”

After thanking him, Pei Yue asked, "Brother, do you have any clues now?"

Qin Xian hesitated slightly, but still smiled and said: "There are more than 300 bandits blocked this time. Only three of the leaders have strong martial arts cultivation. The rest of the gangsters have been killed and injured, and only those three are left."

People continued to run away, but Brother Yu didn't dare to say that he was pretty good at tracking, so they couldn't escape."

Pei Yue praised: "Brother Shi is indeed a very good man. I would like to wish you the best in capturing the thief chieftain alive and making great contributions to the country."

A trace of embarrassment appeared on Qin Xian's weather-stained face, and then he said sincerely and frankly: "Brother Xian, don't tell lies in front of me. Brother Yu's family has suffered a big change, and he is not favored by the Holy Father. My father can only drink to drown his sorrows. Brother Yu,

I just want to earn a future with my meager skills. Even if I hand over my life, I can always add some glory to the lintel of my family. Don't say these depressing words, my dear brother lives outside the city now and must earn tens of millions of dollars.

Be careful and say goodbye!"

Pei Yue looked steadily at this sturdy young man with a rough fate, saw the sincerity and kindness in his eyes, and suddenly stopped him: "Brother, wait a moment."

Qin Xian stopped and asked, "What's the matter?"

Pei Yue walked to his side and whispered: "Brother Shi, I have some immature ideas about these bandits. I would like to ask Brother Shi to help me get more details."

Qin Xian said curiously: "Brother, please speak."

Pei Yue said unhurriedly: "Although the bandits use the Hengduan Mountains to hide their whereabouts, where can they find food and grass in the mountains for them to plunder? You said they have been making trouble for several months, so just because they come out to plunder every time can

Obtain the necessary food for survival? Even if there are wild beasts in the mountains to hunt, what about the medicinal materials? Whether it is the dangerous environment on the mountain or fighting with soldiers from the Beijing camp, they have a high probability of being injured. If there are no medicinal materials to treat the wounded, they will

How can we maintain the support of the team?"

Qin Xian's eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "Brother Yu understands that we can start with medicinal materials, find a way to catch the people they sent to buy medicine, and then find their lair."

Pei Yue smiled slightly and did not elaborate on the difficulties involved. He only continued to remind: "Another thing, how can the bandits predict the actions of the Jingying camp? Even if the target of their robbery is a county or town outside Kyoto,

But how do they know the specific troop garrisoning and distribution of the three major battalions? If they don’t know this, how do they choose the target and route of each operation? Furthermore, you said that bandits evaded several encirclement and suppression campaigns in advance.

Can’t it explain some problems?”

After hearing these words, Qin Xian's face became serious, and at the same time he felt his heart beating very hard.

"Brother Xian, you mean..." He hesitated and didn't dare to speak.

Pei Yue said without hesitation: "Yes, there must be problems within the army! Brother Shi, after you catch those thieves, you can go back to your trusted superior and report these two points."

Qin Xian was not stupid, and he quickly understood what Pei Yue meant. He looked grateful, but shook his head firmly and said, "How can a foolish brother take credit for a wise brother's work? I'll take note of your reminder.

, I will report it to the commander-in-chief when I return, but I will not take it as my own credit."

Pei Yue was silent for a moment, a flash of appreciation flashed deep in his eyes, he shook his head with a smile and said: "Brother Shi, actually do you think those big guys in the military can't think of these two points? This is not a great achievement, but it allows Brother Shi to give those in the Military Academy

Boss, leave an impression. At least when you make great achievements in the future, others will not have the guts to take your credit."

Even so, Qin Xian still wanted to refuse, so Pei Yue said angrily: "Brother, you came to remind me just because of a chance encounter. It can be seen that you are a loyal man, why are you so irritated? Do you think I, Pei Yue, am just a bastard?"

, so I’m not worthy of being your brother?”

Qin Xian was at a loss for words. After all, he was not a eloquent person. After struggling for a moment, he clasped his fists and said seriously: "Xian Xian, if you don't dislike me, I, Qin Xian, will be your brother from now on!"

"It's an elder brother, not a brother." Pei Yue smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother, let's go chase the thief, don't delay any longer."

"Brother Yue, take care, I'll treat you to a drink some other time!"

Qin Xian bowed his hands in a solemn expression, then walked over, jumped on his horse, and galloped away with his hundred horses.

Pei Yue stood under the willow tree and did not move for a long time.

Deng Zai and Qi Min looked at each other, walked slowly to his side and asked, "Master?"

Pei Yue shook his head and said nothing, still looking at the direction in which the hundreds of riders were leaving.

Although he reminded Qin Xian of some things just now, there were some things that Pei Yue did not say, which was the origin and purpose of these bandits. According to Qin Xian, there must be a lot of these bandits, and more than 300 people were among them.

One group, where did so many bandits come from? Looting near Kyoto will inevitably lead to a crazy encirclement and suppression by the Beijing camp, but these bandits did not run away, but started a guerrilla war with the Beijing camp. What on earth did they want to do?

The bandits are targeting villages outside Kyoto, so will Midorizusuou be one of them?
