After Tong Guan listened to what the tall and lanky man said, his heart was as happy as if he had transformed back into a man again.
At this moment, his mouth was so happy that it almost reached the back of his head.
After laughing heartily for a long time, I finally stopped the extremely excited mood in my heart.
"This little brother, your piece of information is really important to us."
"If we can successfully pacify Qingfeng Village this time, then you will be the main contributor to pacifying the bandits."
"When the time comes, whether you will be promoted to an official position or a title of wife, it will all be a matter of a word from me."
"Tonight, you will lead all the soldiers under me to sneak into Qingfeng Mountain Stronghold through the secret passage without anyone noticing."
"Then, catch those strong bandits off guard."
"Those bandits and strongmen, if they are unprepared, will definitely be beaten until they run away."
The tall and thin man had no objection at all to Tong Guan's arrangement.
Then, he fiercely bowed to Tong Guan.
"Thanks to the heavenly soldiers and generals sent by the imperial court, our family's great hatred can finally be avenged."
Tong Guan helped the tall and thin man up from the ground with an excited look on his face.
"Don't do this, don't do this, go down and have a rest first."
"Tonight, we will definitely fight for a long time. If we don't have your guidance then, there is a high probability that we will not be able to find the secret passage."
After hearing this, the tall and thin man nodded repeatedly.
Then, he followed the former captain and left the commander's tent.
At midnight that day.
The moon is bright and the stars are sparse.
Thousands of officers and soldiers wearing armor appeared on the side of Qingfeng Mountain.
They first used a large rock as a temporary base.
Afterwards, several more extremely dexterous soldiers were sent out, following the tall and thin man, and walked slowly towards the secret passage he mentioned.
You must know that on weekdays, there are always seven or eight minions guarding the secret passage.
The first purpose is to fear that others will know about this secret passage, which will bring uncertainty to their future escape from Qingfeng Village.
Secondly, they were afraid that some bad guys with unknown intentions would use this passage to harm their Qingfeng Village.
These concerns are certainly not wrong.
But the military appearance and discipline of Qingfeng Village were really not that good.
Because this secret passage has not been used even once after several years have passed since it was dug.
Therefore, the seven or eight minions who had already relaxed their vigilance were now patrolling very sparsely.
It was just after midnight.
Five or six of the extremely sleepy soldiers found a big stone next to the entrance of the cave and slept on it very comfortably.
Only two lucky ones were left, holding big guns in their arms, poking them on both sides of the cave entrance, and dozing off frequently.
More than a dozen soldiers who had been fully prepared, almost in the blink of an eye, killed the seven or eight minions guarding the entrance of the cave.
When those soldiers spread the news to Tong Guan's ears.
Tong Guan turned around and waved his hand, calling the deputy general next to him and asking him to go down the mountain first to prepare a celebration banquet for them.
Because in his opinion, now, in front of the imperial army, the road is smooth.
As long as they enter the Qingfeng Village through this secret passage, they can take advantage of the night and the time when the bandits and strongmen are sleeping to capture them alive.
When the time comes, shouldn't it be up to him alone to decide whether to kill or behead him?
Even if they were to escort these grassroots strongmen back to Beijing to receive rewards, it would still be a difficult matter.
Tong Guan first asked General Xing to take the lead and lead hundreds of soldiers to open a path in the secret passage.
And he led the remaining thousands of soldiers to follow closely behind.
Speaking of General Xing, although he was not a very good person, he was really rough-skinned and thick-skinned.
At noon that day, his eye socket was hit hard by a stone inkstone.
But at this moment, his eyes stopped bleeding.
There are even faint traces of scabs.
In fact, before this expedition, General Xing had absolutely no intention of accompanying Tong Guan on the expedition.
In his words, many parts of his body are still aching and he has not fully recovered yet.
At the same time, his eyes were penetrated by the child again at noon.
And his force value is so high.
A pear blossom mountain ax can be swung with great power.
Wouldn't it be terrible if, under the stimulation of multiple injuries, he accidentally swung his ax and struck the soldiers and generals in his own camp without paying attention?
But that Tong Guan ignored all his refusals.
He is still extremely stubborn and wants him to lead the troops.
As for the reason, it was not actually Tong Guan who wanted to deliberately mess with General Xing.
But on weekdays, this General Xing boasts too much.
Today I said that my military power is close to that of Lu Bu during the Three Kingdoms period.
Tomorrow, he will brag about his own military strength, which is comparable to that of Xiang Yu, the overlord of the Chu and Han Dynasties.
Looking at the current Song Dynasty, there is no one who can be his general.
With just three or five swings of the axe, you can kill the leaders of the grass bandits in various areas until they kneel down and beg for mercy.
Therefore, for Tong Guan, if such a powerful general is not allowed to serve as the vanguard, then it will be in vain that General Xing, a unique genius, will be blinded.
But this General Xing knows his own priorities very well.
The bragging he used to do in the past was just to get the handsome Tong Guangao to take a look at him.
And then arrange a higher official position for him, so as to make more money.
But he didn't expect that all those boasts in the past would lead him directly to the position of pioneer officer.
This inevitably made him feel like he had tricked himself.
At this time, General Xing, holding a torch in one hand and a pear-shaped mountain ax in the other, walked cautiously at the front of the secret passage.
And walking behind him were hundreds of armored soldiers.
At this time, they all held torches in their left hands and simple knives in their right hands.
Everyone walked very quietly in the secret passage for several miles.
Afterwards, we came to a very open school field.
At this time, it was quiet here, with no one around.
Looking around, you can vaguely see several wooden houses two miles away.
While General Xing was leading his soldiers, he was sizing up the surrounding environment.
Tong Guan, the commander of this army, also walked out of the secret passage.
At this time, his hands were trembling with excitement.
Because he has been waiting for this day for a long time.
For this reason, thousands of soldiers even lost their lives.
If he cannot annihilate this group of bandits and strongmen in one fell swoop this time, then one day when he returns to Tokyo City, he will become the object of ridicule by all the civil and military officials.
Maybe Zhao Ji, the official, would jerk him off to the end if he wasn't happy.
