Chapter 341 Working under me
Liu Shisan has never mentioned these to them.
"Looks and movements. The four leaders and those cronies gave me a different feeling, as if they were well-trained soldiers instead of bandits. And the eyes and movements of those cronies hidden in the crowd were just like Ordinary people are extraordinary.”
Zhang Bo opened his mouth to explain.
"And the accent."
Li Guang on the side suddenly interrupted.
"And although they usually blend in with us, their accents are always a bit stiff. It's as if... they are deliberately imitating us."
Zhao Shan nodded slightly, feeling more and more surprised. These two teenagers do have some brains. And judging from his appearance, he probably has never read a book or gone to school, and no one has taught him. In this situation, it is not easy to think of so many things.
If you cultivate it carefully in the future, it might be of great use.
"Go on."
Zhang Bo continued:
"The second type of bandits, according to my guess, there are about a hundred people. They didn't work hard when they were in the village and liked to be lazy. Now they become bandits, which shows their true nature. But most of these people are just outsiders, and they can instigate rebellion if they think of some way. them."
Such people like to see Feng Shituo. If there is a fight between the two sides and the bandits are in trouble, they will betray them without hesitation to survive. If the rogue bandits can hold out, they will have a good relationship with them and will not reveal their intentions of inciting rebellion.
"As for the third type of bandits, they can rebel at any time. However, their hearts are divided, and many of them should be eliminated tonight."
Zhang Bo said and sighed.
"Many of them have the same idea as me and want to find a way to escape tonight. However, they can't identify the cronies of the leader. If they think about it, their plan has been exposed long ago, and the probability of escaping is very slim."
In order to avoid alerting others, he did not tell anyone about his cronies. By the time he wanted to say something, the teams had been divided into groups and could not communicate with each other.
"Your guess is quite good. These bandits were sent by Daliang and Dachang. Their purpose is to cause civil strife for us and to restrain the Qingzhou Army's manpower."
Zhao Shan said, then waved to the surrounding city guards and said:
"Take them all away and ask Magistrate Lin what to do with them. These two teenagers... take them to Magistrate Lin's account."
After thinking for a moment, she decided to hand it over to Lin Xiaofan.
The few people did not resist and stood up obediently and followed the team.
The young man was a little excited. Looking at this woman's appearance, his ability seemed to be recognized. So, can I survive?
Everything has to be discussed after meeting with County Magistrate Nalin.
After walking for a while, a few people arrived at the camping place, and the two teenagers were brought into the tent.
Seeing the people in the tent, the two were slightly startled.
The main reason is that Lin Xiaofan is too young and looks younger than them, yet he is able to achieve the position of county magistrate.
"Meet Magistrate Lin."
Seeing each other's eyes looking over, the two of them quickly bowed.
"As far as I know, the leaders of your cottage are not simple. Tell me, how did you escape?"
Lin Xiaofan asked.
Those leaders were all sent from the Liang Kingdom and had some brains. At first, he didn't think anyone could escape.
Hearing this, Zhang Bo didn't hide anything. He started planning from the morning, including how he knew people, and told everything in detail.
The more Lin Xiaofan listened, the more surprised he became. This young man who looked about the same age as him actually had so much ambition. Moreover, it is rare to be able to stay calm in times of crisis and plan closely.
If the roles were reversed, he might not be able to do this well.
"Have you read the book?"
Lin Xiaofan was somewhat relieved and asked.
The young man shook his head.
"Have you ever practiced martial arts?"
The young man still shook his head.
"What is your name?"
"Sir, my name is Zhang Bo."
"You became a bandit and killed someone. Both of these are capital crimes in Daqian."
Lin Xiaofan's face turned serious and he spoke.
Hearing this, Zhang Bo was so frightened that he shrank his neck, knelt on the ground and said:
"Sir, I killed a bully in our village. In my impression, he married two wives every year, but most of them were beaten to death by him. Over the years, he has killed many people. I killed him , but also to eliminate harm for the people.”
Li Guang also knelt down on the ground. He didn't look very panicked. He seemed to be sure that Lin Xiaofan would not kill him. He said:
"Sir, I assisted Zhang Bo in killing the people. There were also three people who were with me at the time, and the five of us killed together."
The rogue bandits did not dare to kill too many villagers, otherwise the villagers would be killed and no one would be able to benefit from it.
Therefore, the leaders just asked them to work together to kill one person and be charged with it.
After hearing this, Lin Xiaofan continued:
"Then you did a good job. However, according to national law, you are still guilty of death."
"Please forgive me, sir."
The two people said quickly.
"I think you are destined to be relegated to the status of slaves under my account from now on. If you have the opportunity to make meritorious deeds in the future, then you can make up for it and I will return your status to you, how about that?"
When the two heard this, they were ecstatic. In this world, if you can work under a county magistrate, even if you are a slave, the probability of survival is much higher.
Thinking about it, the two people quickly knelt down on the ground and kowtowed several times:
"Thank you, sir!"
"Get up. Tell me, how should we deal with these bandits on the mountain?"
Lin Xiaofan asked.
He wanted to try the abilities of these two teenagers.
Zhang Bo heard this, thought for a moment and said:
"The terrain of this village is good. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Moreover, the bandits have many large bows in their hands. A strong attack is probably not feasible. In my opinion, the best way is to instigate rebellion."
In his opinion, the biggest problem is the disunity of people in the village.
Lin Xiaofan was not surprised by this.
Instigating rebellion is indeed the best way, and most people can think of this method.
He wanted to hear something else.
Thinking about it, he then asked:
"Not bad. Think about it again, is there any other way?"
Zhang Bo thought for a moment and then said:
"Sir, I can't think of any good solution, but there is a strategy that is not very practical. I wonder if you are willing to listen to it?"
Lin Xiaofan showed some interest and nodded slightly.
"Sir, you can surround the stronghold, wait until they run out of food, and starve them to death. But they have been looting everywhere and there is a lot of food. We have to find a way to burn down their granaries to speed up the progress."
Zhang Bo thought for a moment and then said.
He really couldn't think of any other way.
Hearing this, Lin Xiaofan smiled and said:
"Thank you for coming up with this method. Then tell me how to burn their food?"
Zhang Bo frowned when he heard this.
It's no secret that he knows where the grain is stored. But that place was in the middle of the village, so rockets would definitely not work.
Otherwise, the only option is to send people in to set fire. But except for the gate, the other roads are extremely steep, making it extremely difficult to climb up the mountain, and it is easy to be discovered.
