"We must fight because we have no way to survive. I just want to introduce the situation to you in advance. The terrain of that village is very complex, and it was a large village that integrated dozens of villages. Now the world is in chaos and there is no one.

Anyone who dared to live in the village moved to the mountains."

"In order to protect his food, the rich man Niu built this fort. It was built on the mountain at that time. There was only one road up the mountain, and it was so narrow and rugged that war horses could not get up."

"Another reason why it's hard to fight is that you and the others share the same hatred. Although this old guy is not a good guy, once we break through the stronghold, everyone's property will be gone, so these people will risk their lives with us. It can be said that the competition

The officers and soldiers are much more difficult to defeat."

"In the past, Zhou Wenju, Li Gongyi and others often had the idea of ​​attacking Niutou Village, but every time they came back dejected with lost troops and generals, it was of no use."

"Bodang, how many people do you have in your hands now?" Li Mi wiped his mouth after finishing his meal.

Wang Bodang walked to the house with a riding crop, turned around and said with a smile: "There are 1,350 people, but half of them don't even have cotton clothes for winter, let alone leather armor.

The soldiers are incomparable."

"The relationship is good. After taking down Niutou Village, we will have at least hundreds of sets of armor." Li Mi gave him a reverse thought: "The soldiers can also have enough food and clothing, so why don't they work hard?"

"What do you think we should do?" Wang Bodang said.

Li Mi walked into the house, took out a piece of white paper and the Four Treasures of the Study, and wrote a letter, asking everyone to come over and read it. It turned out to be a blackmail and threat letter.

"Let's be polite first and send this letter to the rich man Niu. Let's borrow 200,000 shi of grain and 1,000 sets of cotton clothes from him. If he gives it, we won't say anything. If he doesn't give it, we'll let them

If you can't get down from the mountain, you will kill each one. I will personally deliver this letter."

There is nothing outstanding about Li Mi's method. People like them are actually bandits. Kidnapping and extortion is their job, nothing special.

What really stunned everyone was Li Mi's last sentence. He wanted to go to Niutou Village to deliver the message in person. Could it be that he was crazy?

So the friends were all shocked.

"What does Mi Gong mean?"

Li Mi thought to himself, if I don't do something amazing, I will always be a lost dog in the eyes of others, a person who is looked down upon by others. No matter how reasonable his words are, they will not have any weight in the hearts of others.

On the contrary, if a person with a high social status says something nonsense, people will think that there is some huge mystery hidden there.

Just like, if a rich person wears a gold watch, it is a gold watch, but if a poor person wears a gold watch, it is a fake watch.

Therefore, it is definitely not reckless to go to Niutou Village in person. The first is to establish a reputation, and the second is to spy on the terrain of Niutou Village. As long as Niutou Village is captured, Li Mi's worth in this area will definitely skyrocket.

After everyone corrects their attitude and looks at him with admiration, with his influence, everything he does will be done with twice the result with half the effort, and achieving the final great goal is no longer a dream.

"I'm going to spy on the camp. The terrain for marching and fighting comes first. Didn't that bastard Qin Hu say that soldiers are important matters of the country, the place of life and death, and the way to survive and die? You must investigate!"

"Mi Gong thought again that the slaves of the third surname are here. It's okay. Once we get through this winter, we will attack the county in the second half of the year, and we will conquer the world." Wang Bo thought this was purely self-deprecating, and he didn't have any point at all.

He was completely confused about the plan. This was the only reason why he wanted to hand over his family fortune to Li Mi.

Because Li Mi knew which direction to go.

But if you really ask him to hand it over to Li Mi, he won't be willing to let it go. In his heart, Wang Bodang just waits and sees. If Li Mi can really do it, he will hand over the power. If he doesn't, he will pretend that he didn't say anything.

"This is a good idea, but let's forget it. That old rich man Niu is not a good man, he is just a wolf." Wang Bodang said worriedly: "It's better to send someone else."

Li Mi smiled bitterly: "What's the use of sending someone else there, and I can't see it? Bo Dang, don't say anything. Not many people here know me, so I'll just dress up as a soldier and go. Don't worry, Old Rich Man Niu is still here

Can't kill me."

Uncle Wang thought to himself, why is Li Mi so confident? If the old rich man was angered by the threatening letter and killed people indiscriminately, no one would be able to protect him.

"I have my own way."

Li Mi had made up his mind, and many people could not persuade him. Moreover, he talked and laughed happily without any pressure, which made Wang Bodang feel confident in the end.

Early the next morning, Li Mi set off on a braying donkey. This uncle Wang was really poor. There were only a dozen war horses in the entire army, and the rest were donkeys used for transportation.

Niutou Village is about eighty miles away from Wang Bodang's camp, which can be said to be very close. However, the mountain road is rugged and full of thorns and shrubs. It is too strenuous to walk, so it can also be said that it is not too close.

Li Mi walked for four hours and finally reached the territory of Niutou Village in the afternoon. Unexpectedly, this old rich man had quite a skill, including scouts, watchtowers, and secret sentries. As soon as he approached the village, he was immediately hidden in the bushes.

The soldiers among them were captured.

Li Mi quickly shouted: "Mighty man, spare your life, strong man, spare your life. I was ordered to deliver a message to you, Mr. Niu. I have no malice whatsoever, no malice whatsoever."

"Tie him up first."

The soldiers first pushed Li Mi to the ground and gave him a beating. Then a leader came over and stared at Li Mi for a while: "Who sent you here?"

Li Mi told the truth: "General Wang Bodang, who is a hundred miles away, sent me here."

"Bah, what kind of bullshit general is he? He's just a rebel and a bandit." The leader spat on the ground: "What did he ask you to do?"

Li Mi sighed: "Strong man, whether our General Wang is a general or a bandit, that is a matter for the court. After all, we are neighbors. We live in harmony and everyone is comfortable. You can get it from your mouth."

Be more virtuous in your words, and you will get into trouble if you lose a big thing because of a small thing."

"What I am saying is not rude. If Mr. Niu does not rebel, there is no need to risk his life and property to be loyal to the court. In order to protect himself these days, who is white and who is black? I think it is still more gray!"

"Oh, there is a way." When the leader heard this, Li Mi's words were quite good. Moreover, Niutou Village did not think about being loyal to the imperial court, because the imperial court abandoned them first.

Otherwise, they would not have gone to the mountains to build forts.

"Strong man, you and I are all working for others. I still beg you to recommend me." Li Mi said with a smile even though his nose was bruised and his face was swollen.

"Come with me."
