Chapter Thirteen: The Rebel Soldier, Li Dog Leg

  Yang Dian heard what the hundred people said, and suddenly a cold sweat broke out, and his intoxication also cleared up by more than half. At this time, Wen Han on the side secretly revealed a smile.

  Yang Dian then ordered the hundred men to disperse, and they left afterwards.

  Yang Dian hastily grabbed Wen Han's hand and exclaimed, "Brother, you are truly prescient. This army must be that of Huang Le, the little scoundrel! Huang Le has cultivated nearly a thousand personal soldiers in the military, and his household has five hundred servants, totaling one thousand five hundred people, with military strength far surpassing ours."

  "Huang Le wants to raise troops to harm my life. My wise younger brother, do you have a clever plan to save me from this desperate situation? If so, I will definitely remember your kindness in the future!"

  Wen Han comforted Yang Ting for a few words, then calmly said: "Brother Yang, don't panic. I'm not sure if it's Huang Le's troops now. If so, I'll make him die here!"

  "Could it be that my younger brother has already thought of a plan to save me? Quickly tell me! Don't make me feel anxious and uneasy, it's really unbearable!"

  Yang Dian was overjoyed upon hearing this, and after this campaign to suppress the bandits, Yang Dian knew that Wen Han had great wisdom, and since he had thought of a plan, he could definitely defeat Huang Le.

  "The mountain man has his own wonderful plan, Brother Yang can rest assured. Let's see how I'll play Huang Le like a drum in the palm of my hand." Wen Han's confident appearance couldn't help but let Yang Dian's highly strung heart slightly calm down.

  Later, Wen Han said a few more words to Yang Dian, entrusting him with the things that needed his cooperation. Yang Dian regarded Wen Han as his savior and listened to his words obediently.

  Two hours later, Wen Han and Zhou Lin walked out of Yang Dian's camp.

  "Brother, it's clear that Huang Zhangshi was afraid of being exposed for colluding with Pei Yuanshao, so he led the troops to surround and kill us. Why did you shift the blame to Yang Ya's head?"

  "Zhou Dage, have you ever thought that this time we borrowed troops to conquer Heifeng Mountain, we have already offended Huang Zhangshi. In the future, I'm afraid Huang Zhangshi will definitely take revenge on us. Moreover, now that I've taken Pei Yuanshao under my command, he will even more regard us as thorns in his side and eyesores, and won't be happy until we're eliminated!"

  It's just that, why should we be polite to him? Take this opportunity to get rid of Huang Le! However, if it were us who took action, getting rid of Huang Le would definitely offend his in-laws. With our current power, we can't even resist Huang Le's in-laws. But Yang County Magistrate is different, he has the entire 'Yang family' backing him up.

  This time, we'll use Yang Dian's hands to get rid of that Huang Changshi. It just so happens that the trouble will shift eastward, and let Yang Hong and that Huang Le's family fight each other. We can also take advantage of their intense battle, when they have no time to pay attention to us, and quickly establish a foothold in Xie County.

  "In that case, we'll have fewer troubles in the future, won't we?"

  Wen Han slowly expressed what was on his mind, and Zhou Lin listened with repeated nods.

  "I understand now, brother! My younger brother is using a clever trick of 'killing with a borrowed knife'!"

  "That's right. Brother Zhou is clever and understands at once. Brother Zhou, you must think more carefully in the future, for the path we will take is full of thorns and dangers everywhere. One careless move could lead to great disaster. If I am not by your side, your straightforward and kind nature will be taken advantage of!"

  Wen Han spoke with a bitter tone, but Zhou Leng didn't dislike him because of his young age and humbly accepted. In Zhou Leng's heart, it was clear that Wen Han was cultivating him.

  "It seems that this brother of mine has a complex mind and is not simple at all." Zhou Leng sighed in his heart. He didn't think that he, who was originally just a gambler, would now be involved in plotting for the future with others.

  Those who achieve great things must be willing to take risks and face challenges head-on. They need to have exceptional talent and strategic thinking, as well as the ability to use cunning and clever tactics, without being constrained by trivial matters.

  In the past, Zhou Leng would never have dared to think that he could achieve great things, but now with Wen Han's appearance, Zhou Leng's thoughts also began to change.

  After the two returned to the camp, Wen Han found Pei Yuanshao and handed over some things. Seeing that it was already late at night, he felt sleepy and went to bed immediately.

  By noon on the second day, Yang Dian's troops from Xie County suddenly withdrew all their tents and led their troops to the mountain stronghold of Heifeng Mountain.

  At the same time, on the other side, a group of about twenty Black Wind Thieves were fleeing in a panic towards Jie County.

  "Halt, you thieves! Stop or be killed!" Five or six mounted scouts from the county shouted loudly to stop this group of Black Wind bandits.

  "Spare my life, General! I'm a minor leader from the Black Wind Fortress, with an urgent matter to report to Huang Le and Huang Zhangshi. Please arrange for me to meet them. This is a big deal, if military affairs are delayed because of me, I won't be able to bear the responsibility!"

  "Shut up! How could the adults in my family possibly know a thief like you? You must be slandering, trying to disturb the morale of our troops! I'll have you arrested first, dare you resist!"

  One of the scouts shouted loudly, looking at him as if he was the leader of these five or six scouts.

  "Don't dare, don't dare! Kneel down quickly!" The small leader gave an order, and the twenty or so Black Wind bandits immediately knelt down obediently.

  Thereafter, under the custody of these five or six county escorts, this group of Black Wind bandits was brought into Huang Le's military camp.

  That squad leader, seeing the black wind thief listen to him, dared to come to the camp again. Suddenly dispersing doubts: "You little head, follow me. Don't play any tricks, otherwise I won't forgive your dog life!"

  "Yes, yes. How dare a small one like me play smart? A dog's life is precious, a dog's life is precious." The little ringleader hastily replied with a flattering tone.

  The leader of the vanguard hummed and turned around, gesturing for Heifeng Xiaotou to follow.

  At this time, inside Huang Le's tent.

  "Hum! Who would have thought that Pei Yuanshao was so useless, being defeated by a young man's scheme? He's simply a waste of resources! Fortunately, Li Erzhong is meticulous and saw the situation wasn't good, sneaking back to tell Ben Changshi the news."

  I think that young man and Yang Dian now know, Ben Chang Shi and Pei Yuan Shao are in cahoots. This is just right, one doesn't do it twice, this time Ben Chang Shi will annihilate all of you. No need to worry about troubles later!

  Especially that Yang Dian, secretly spying on this position of mine for a long time, I regret not being able to get rid of him and feel relieved afterwards!

  Li Erju was quite good, teaching Ben Chang Shi to take advantage of Yang Dian and others who had not yet returned to Xunxian County. Yang Hong did not know the military situation and used the name of rescue to send troops to attack Yang Dian and others.

  After killing them all, he returned to Yang Hongruo and asked about it. Ben Changshi just said that the young man was not good at martial arts with Yang Dian and was killed by the Black Wind Mountain bandits.

  "Yang Hong will also be unable to pursue it, Yang Dian is dead, this solves the county's military power, and all falls into Ben Changshi's hands. Hahaha!"

  Huang Le pinched the goat's beard, laughing triumphantly. Li Er took advantage of the opportunity to flatter him with a few words, making Huang Le so happy that his eyes almost narrowed into a slit.

  "Reporting to Lord Chang Shi. A group of about twenty Black Wind bandits were captured by us, and the little leader said he had important information to report to Your Excellency. I saw that this little leader was quite cooperative, so it shouldn't be an enemy spy, so I brought him here."

  At this time, the leader of the scout team had just brought the little head to the front of Huang Le's account.

  "Oh." Huang Le took a look at Li Er, Li Er nodded, and then Huang Le shouted "Come in" after that, the little leader walked in with a nervous face.

  "What brings you to this humble abode?"

  Huang Le's face tightened and he asked sternly.

  "Master Zhang, my humble name is Li Gou Tui Zi, a small leader from Hei Feng Fort. I am a fellow townsman of Mr. Li from your esteemed mansion, and we once fled to Hei Feng Mountain together. Does Mr. Li perhaps remember me?" Li Gou Tui Zi didn't answer Huang Le's question, instead he was trying to get close to Li Er.

  Huang Le didn't find it strange, hearing that this person was acquainted with Li Er, he looked at Li Er with great interest.

  Li Er's face turned cold, his eyes flashing with hatred: "Sir, I know him. It was this man who deceived me into the Black Wind Fortress, where I suffered at the hands of Pei Yuanshao. Fortunately, sir, you recognized my heroism and recruited me, otherwise I would still be suffering in that place of fire and water."

  "Alas! I was blind to the truth, thinking that Pei Yuanshao was a hero, but it turns out he's just an incompetent fool. Today, even if I want to make amends and offer a plan to Huang Zhangshi, it's all for my own future survival."

  "Hum! With your foolish and unmatchable goods, you also dare to offer a plan!" Li Er pointed at Li Dog Leg, coldly scolding.

  "Heh heh. Li Er, don't get agitated. Listening won't hurt either. That Li Dog Leg, what information do you have to say? See if it's enough to exchange for your dog life!" Huang Le knew that Li Er was a narrow-minded and vengeful person. He must be holding a grudge against Li Dog Leg, which is why he became so aggressive now.

  "Yes, sir." Li Dog Leg saw that Li Er didn't have a good expression, so he stopped paying attention to him and said to Huang Le: "Just the other day, I heard that Pei Yuanshao was discussing something with a young man and a general named Yang Dian.

  Then they heard them shouting loudly to slaughter the adults and help Yang Dian take the position of Long Shi, and share the glory and wealth in the future.

  The little man respected the adults and left a few marks. Later, he saw them secretly plotting several times, and it was decided to harm the adult's life.

  The three men were overjoyed and said they would have a big drink, and on the next day at noon, they would set up a grand banquet in Heifengzhai to celebrate the great success.

  Pei Yuanshao is normally arrogant and tyrannical, every time we brothers get money from robbing houses, he takes more than half of it. We have long had grievances against him, taking advantage of this opportunity, I colluded with several small leaders, there are more than 200 people in total.

  Tomorrow, while the young man and Yang Dian are drunk, plan to launch a surprise attack. Take advantage of the night, and in one move, kill Bai Yuanshao and all the soldiers from Jie County. Does sir agree?

  Huang Le heard this and became furious, suddenly standing up: "Ahh! The chief historian has not yet gone to take that Yang Dian dog's life, and yet the treacherous Yang Dian dares to plot against my life first! How hateful, how hateful!"

  Li Dog Leg, you've done a great job. From now on, you'll be an official under my command. Help me come up with strategies! As for the plan you mentioned, I'm extremely pleased. Tomorrow, we'll make arrangements to use wolf smoke as our signal and take down those dog thieves together!"
