Chapter 746 Plan

It is good to have a sense of justice, but it cannot be overwhelming. The most important thing is to act within your ability and not to pretend to be fat. The reason why Gao Bufan decided to take action to eliminate the bandits on the Dragon and Tiger Cliff was naturally not only to do good deeds, but also to earn reputation and people's popularity for himself.

Although King Gao Changqing of Qi was already famous all over the world, the transportation in Bashu was blocked, and the ordinary people here knew that he was not many. It is estimated that the bandit brothers on Longhu Cliff were more famous than him. After all, Xiao Yu, the prefect of Ba County, had also suffered defeat under the bandit brothers.

It is conceivable that once Gao Bufan wiped out the bandits on Longhu Cliff, he would inevitably become famous and deeply rooted in the hearts of the local people. Then he would use this momentum to visit Xiao Yu, the prefect of Ba County, and the probability of success would naturally be greater.

In addition, the Miao soldiers are too poor. Poverty is the root of all evil and chaos. If the Miao soldiers are rich, I believe they will not develop the bad habit of stealing and taking advantage of small gains, so Gao Bufan felt it necessary to cure the Miao soldiers' poverty.

The most effective way to make quick money is undoubtedly to loot. It is definitely not possible to rob the people, so go and rob the bandits. The group of bandits on Longhu Cliff is obviously the best target. First, it is famous enough, and second, it is close to the distance. Who should I attack if I don’t attack them?

As the saying goes, know yourself and your enemy, you will never be defeated in a hundred battles. Since you want to use Longhu Cliff to start the operation, you must understand the basic situation in advance. Therefore, Gao Bufan found out the location of Longhu Cliff and then spread his body to Kamkan and check the terrain alone.

Since the thief is coming to pick him up tomorrow, time is too tight, so Gao Bufan did not take him, but rushed alone. With his journey, he could come back before dark to make arrangements.

Speaking of which, this Longhu Cliff is about forty miles south of here, facing Wujiang. There are cliffs on the other three sides, and the terrain is extremely dangerous. Its original name is Goujiu Cliff, which is very simple and down-to-earth. However, after Hunjiang Long and the Brothers of the Mountain Hu occupied the place, they felt that the name was too imposing and could not match the majesty of the two brothers, so they decided to change the name. Some of the brothers under him had an idea and suggested changing it to Longhujiu Cliff, which was domineering and unique. However, the confidant of the younger brother, Goujiu, was unhappy because it was too unfair. It was recommended to call it Longhujiu Cliff.

Fortunately, Hunjianglong has a cultural person who has been studying for several years. This guy thinks that even if he is a bandit, he should not be too vulgar, otherwise it will be looked down upon by the officers and soldiers. He suggests that the word "The Strong and Tiger Cliff" is called Dragon and Tiger Cliff, which is both domineering and decent, and has both dragons and tigers, which is fair and just.

When Hunjiang Long and the Guoshanhu brothers heard this, they felt that scholars were still educated, so Yin Ran accepted the suggestion. From then on, Goujiu Cliff was renamed Longhu Cliff.

Going back to the point, Gao Bufan spread his body and ran towards the Longhu Cliff, and arrived at the place in just half an hour.

At this time, the sun had already set in the west. I saw a high cliff standing on the east bank of the Wujiang River. It was really a pillar of the sky. The bare cliff wall reflected a golden light. There was a relatively low round mountain bun on both sides of the cliff, covered with trees. When combined, it was really full of male aura.

However, Gao Bufan was a serious man, and was a little surprised by the unique shape of the Dragon and Tiger Cliff, so he turned his attention to the cliff passage.

This Dragon and Tiger Cliff is probably seventy or eighty meters high. It is towering and has bare front and does not have any trees. It is estimated that even monkeys can hardly climb up. Only the middle position is followed by a narrow stone staircase, which is in the shape of a "zhi" and can only be used for two people to walk side by side. It is really a one-man who can pass by tens of thousands of men.

Seeing this, Gao Bufan couldn't help but take a breath of air. Finally, he understood why Xiao Yu had lost his troops here and left him alone after attacking him once. It was really too difficult to fight this place. As long as there was still food on the cliff, it was impossible to conquer it head-on.

Looking at the situation under the cliff, there is the Wujiang River with deep water and rapid flowing under the cliff. Even the boats are difficult to stop. It is unlikely to try to use troops to surround the mountain village. They can only block the river surface upstream and downstream. However, this means little, and I don’t know what the situation is behind the cliff. If there is a small path, blocking the river surface will be in vain.

Gao Bufan hid his figure by the grass and trees by the river and approached Longhu Cliff bit by bit. Finally, he saw a water village under the cliff. There was a pier in the water village, and rows of boats of all sizes were parked. If he wanted to climb the cliff, he had to break through the water village first.

Gao Bufan observed carefully for a while and found that this group of bandits had built the water village quite strongly. They had to pass three rows of fences into and out of the water village. Each row of fences had a moving door that could be pulled up with cables. When the ship entered and exited, the side of the fence was raised and placed on the other side, which was very strict.

What surprised Gao Bufan the most was that two arrows were built in the water village, one on the left and one on the right, and you could vaguely see the minions carrying bows and arrows walking back and forth on the arrow tower.

"Hey, this pair of Dragon and Tiger brothers has some tricks. The copycat is built in a very well-organized manner. Could it be that it has been a soldier?" Gao Bufan thought to himself.

He really guessed that Hunjianglong and Guoshanhu were both soldiers of the palace and had been in the military camp for nearly ten years. Later, they stopped doing it and gathered a group of people to do this business without any money, so they have some military qualities.

Gao Bufan pondered for a moment and quietly walked around the back of Longhu Cliff.

There is a mountain on both sides of Longhu Cliff, with weeds and dense trees, and there is no way to go. However, this is not impossible for a master like Gao Bufan to jump and climb flexibly among the trees, just like a monkey, and soon he will walk around the back of Longhu Cliff.

The back of Longhu Cliff is also steep, but it is not as smooth as the front. There is no place to grab the handle. I saw some vines and sparse shrubs growing on the back of the cliff. With his extraordinary skills, he could definitely climb up. Those soldiers could do it with the help of some tools.

Seeing this, Gao Bufan knew it and quietly left Longhu Cliff, spread his body and rushed back to meet with the main force.

When Gao Bufan returned to his original place, the sunset had just sunk and the dusk was vast. Everyone was naturally very happy to see Gao Bufan coming back and they all gathered to ask about the situation. However, when Gao Bufan described the dangerous terrain of Longhu Cliff, even Mengzi and Aqing changed their faces and began to hesitate.

Gao Bufan smiled faintly and said, "Are you scared?"

Aqing and Mengzi were both people who couldn't bear it and almost said in unison: "I'm afraid of it!!"

Ah Jin was obviously the most rational and said decisively: "Longhu Cliff is too dangerous, and a strong attack will definitely not work. It's just a waste of time. If the King of Qi does not have a proper plan, I will refuse to carry out this action."

Gao Bufan was not angry, but showed a hint of praise. What he needed most now was a general who could think independently, rather than a reckless man who could only blindly follow. So he smiled calmly and said, "I will definitely not let everyone die. I will never fight if I am unsure of the battle."

Gao Bufan said, waved his hand, and used the afterglow of the sunset to quickly draw a simple figure of the Dragon and Tiger Cliff on the ground with branches, and then said seriously: "Look at it, this is the Dragon and Tiger Cliff, this is the Wujiang River, and you have to use boats when entering and leaving, so the thieves must take a boat to pick up their brides. This is the nearest mooring position to the village..."

Gao Bufan said his plan in detail. After hearing this, Meng Zi and Aqing were ready to try it out. Even the cautious Ah Yu didn't say anything, as if he was measuring the pros and cons of Gao Bufan's strategy.

Gao Bufan did not urge him, but just looked at Ah Xiang with encouragement. The latter's face was slightly hot, and he plucked up the courage: "Your Highness King Qi's plan is good, but it is still quite risky to capture the Dragon and Tiger Cliff. His subordinates have a plan to reduce the risk. If it goes well, they can even take down the Dragon and Tiger Cliff without wasting their power."

A trace of surprise flashed in Gao Bufan's eyes and said happily: "Are you going to have a plan?"

Ah Yue said: "The subordinates prepare a medicine. After drinking it, people and animals will fall asleep. If I pretend to be a bride and ask the bandits to take it to the cliff, then find a way to put the medicine into their drinking water..."

"This plan won't work!" Gao Bufan refused decisively without waiting for Ah Xiang to finish his sentence.

Ah Jin said dissatisfiedly: "Why can't it?"

Gao Bufan said seriously: "First, there are five or six hundred people on Longhu Cliff. Can the amount of medicine on your body poison you? Second, you must have Sandi and the villagers cooperate. Sandi is okay, but those villagers are afraid of the thieves and may not be willing to take the risk of cooperating with us. If someone secretly reports to the bandits, it will be even worse. Third, it is too dangerous for you to go to Longhu Cliff alone. Maybe you will be backfired and you will be too late to regret it."

Aqing hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, Ah sister, don't be stupid. If you can't suppress the bandits, don't suppress them at most, don't deal with yourself."

Ah Jing's face turned red and white with embarrassment. He clasped his fists and said ashamed: "What the King of Qi said is extremely true, and his subordinates are not considerate."

Gao Bufan smiled and said, "It's okay. Everyone has their own ideas and the power to express their opinions. It's rare that you can actively and proactively make suggestions. It's just that you lack some experience. There are many talented people under my command. If you are willing to learn humbly in the future, you will definitely make great progress."

When Ah Jing heard this, she was both excited and yearning for her. The 16 or 17-year-old Miao girl obviously realized that a brand new stage was in front of her. If she grasped it, her life would be another magnificent scene. She hurriedly said: "Thank you for your support from King Qi."

Aqing and Mengzi couldn't help but look envious, and they all expressed their desire to follow Gao Bufan to Sichuan to fight on the battlefield. The good man is determined by all directions. Although the two have a little irritable temper, they are still quite ambitious.

Gao Bufan smiled and said, "Don't worry, you all have a chance."

Aqing and Mengzi were very happy and were very enthusiastic about working by the people who were arranged.

Gao Bufan smiled and warned Ah Xiang seriously: "Ah Xiang, poison and witchcraft are just small ways, and they are good at dealing with people, but they are not very effective in the battlefield of thousands of troops, and they are inferior. Try to rely on these things as little as possible in the future."

The monk nodded and said a little embarrassedly: "I understand... Oh, I'm taught!"

If the witch and Qingruo successfully convinced the Miao chiefs of Banan to lead the investment, Gao Bufan planned to form a Miao army (mountain troops), and Ah Jing was cautious and clever, and he was also a Miao person, and he was undoubtedly the best candidate to lead the Miao army. Therefore, Gao Bufan felt that he could train him well. Maybe this woman would become Gao Qi's most famous female general in the future, and she would not even be inferior to Li Xiuning, Princess Pingyang of Li Tang.
