Chapter 228: The Dwarf Tiger Cuts Off His Tail to Survive

He dealt with the Zhu brothers who split Yuanbi Village, and at the same time brought down Chen Xizhen, the leader who intended to surrender, and pushed Chen Liqing to the top.

Everything goes smoothly.

From today on, Yuanbi Village will be named Cao.

After years of planning, the results finally came to fruition.

Cao Jie was naturally ecstatic, but he did not show it.

People should not be too proud, because if they are too proud they will lose their composure.

To secure this position, Chen Liqing must do something.

However, the soldiers of Qingzhou and the five hundred barbarian knife rollers of Liangshan F4 are here, so there is no need to worry about any major problems.

What's more, the soldiers of Yuanbi Village are not weaklings. Although they are not as good as the Liangshan soldiers, they are more than enough to deal with the Song Dynasty's soldiers.

But continuing to be a bandit is not a good idea.

No matter how big and powerful a bandit group becomes, it will eventually be destroyed. This is a dead end.

Even as powerful as Li Zicheng, the "King of Rebellion", was only emperor for forty-two days.

Cao Jie opened the detailed map of Shandong. It was a pity that Weishan Lake had not yet been formed. Otherwise, it could have been built into a branch base that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, just like Liangshan.

Weishan Lake is located to the east of Pei County and to the north of Xuzhou. The terrain is low-lying and there have been many independent small lakes such as Chishan, Diaoyang and Lümeng since ancient times.

Weishan Lake first appeared in the Yuan Dynasty, and was created by the flooding of the Yellow River. The excavation of the Grand Canal in the Yuan Dynasty played a shaping role in the formation of Weishan Lake, forming a strip of lake along the canal.

During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Zhaoyang Lake, Weishan Lake, Dushan Lake and Nanyang Lake were formed successively and connected into one, collectively known as Weishan Lake, also known as the Southern Four Lakes.

Now!
Not favorable terrain.

"Let's go back to Yuanbi Village!" Cao Jie suggested.

Chen Liqing wondered, "Yuanbi Village was breached and burned to ashes. If we go back and rebuild it from scratch now, will we be ambushed by the soldiers?"

Cao Jie pondered for a moment: "The Yuanbi Village is divided and its vitality is seriously damaged. The imperial court will definitely find out clearly. Therefore, there must be a battle with the imperial court. However, Zhang Shuye is ready to recruit them, which gives us a lot of room for manipulation."

"What is your plan, sir?"

"drag!"

Chen Liqing's face suddenly turned shy. After hesitating for a while, she slowly began to take off her armor.

"What are you doing?"

"Fuck! I'll take it off now!"

"..."

Cao Jie raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a wry smile, "I mean to buy time. We can agree to Zhang Shuye's offer of amnesty, and then rebel when the time comes. A few years will pass by. The world is not in chaos yet. Yuanbi Village is the first to stand out. It will be destroyed sooner or later if it continues to lead the victims to attack cities and seize territories."

"Surrender and then rebel again!"

As for how to proceed specifically, we can only take it one step at a time.

One thing is certain: the court must not be pressed endlessly.

This dying camel of the Song Dynasty is bigger than a horse!
After planning the route and strategy for Yuanbi Village with Chen Liqing, Cao Jie walked out of the camp.

Suddenly, he seemed to remember something, and he grabbed Li Kui, who was doing nothing, and asked, "Tie Niu, you killed Yunlong and Zhu Yongqing, but have you seen the short-legged tiger Wang Ying?"

Li Kui scratched his head and said, "I don't know about this. At that time, tens of thousands of disaster victims were scattered and the place was in chaos. After I killed Zhu Yongqing, there were not many people around!"

"Where is Mr. Yiqing? Where is Fan Rui?"

This Wang Ying is so slippery that I have let him escape several times. Now that I have finally got news about him, how can I let him slip away from me again?

This time when he came, Cao Jie emphasized that he wanted to capture this man alive and use him as a sacrifice.

"Don't worry, brother. This dwarf tiger can't escape."

Gongsun Sheng was dressed in a Taoist robe, holding a dustpan in his hand, looking calm and composed.

Ever since the "Devil of Chaos" Fan Rui came up the mountain, he no longer did the usual fighting and killing himself, but left it all to Fan Rui. He just focused on his cultivation and did not get involved in worldly affairs.

For example, this time, Gongsun Sheng just stayed behind and didn't even show his face. "Brother, look!"

The floating dust in Ruyunlong's hand shook, and it condensed into a large water ball, which spread out to form a huge water mirror.

In the mirror, the figure of "Dwarf" Wang Ying fleeing in a panic suddenly appeared.

"This Wang Ying is a spirit of evasion. He has a unique skill called cutting off the tail to survive."

The chameleon is a chameleon, and the female one is called a gecko.

Gongsun Sheng smiled and said, "During the battle, Ou Peng had already targeted him, but he was also fooled by his broken tail, so he escaped. But... since he is a ball of flesh and blood, how can he escape?"

"It's Wang Ying indeed. Mr. Yiqing's water skills have improved again!"

Cao Jie rubbed his hands on the water mirror. If this magical power was used well, wouldn't it be a means of long-distance communication?

“I gained something!”

"How far can this water mirror technique see?"

"There is a wisp of my divine consciousness on Ou Peng, and I can discern every detail within a hundred miles."

"..."

Cao Jie nodded, a hundred miles was still too short.

At this time, Wang Ying's body in the water mirror faded, as if it had disappeared.

The water mirror was still moving, and Cao Jie realized that the surroundings were in chaos, with all the people being the victims trapped by Yuanbi Village.

"Is this Teng County? Let's take a look!"

Many ragged victims were too weak to lift their sticks and could only lean on them while staggering on the ground, like clumsily moving zombies in a science fiction movie.

To be precise, it's a zombie tide!
In the water mirror, a wealthy family in Teng County was revealed, with the guards and servants lying on the wall, sweating profusely.

Not only was the gate of the courtyard fastened with multiple bolts, but it was also blocked with various heavy objects.

The victims lay outside the door, unable to push it open, but one pushed and shoved against the other, causing the door to tilt, as if it would collapse at any time.

Seeing that they were unable to break in and were extremely hungry, the victims immediately came up with a solution. They brought in a lot of dead grass and branches, piled them in front of the door and set them on fire.

Soon, the burning gate of the courtyard was pushed down with a loud bang.

Faced with the helpless victims, several servants suddenly turned around, raised their knives, and teamed up with the victims to kill their employer.

The other servants also came to their senses. Since they couldn't win, they chose to join in and took the initiative to lead the hungry people in.

The weak victims have now become extremely brutal and have completely lost their reason and humanity.

Kill anyone you see and steal anything you find.

No chickens or dogs were left alive, all women and children were killed, and even the innocent and weak were not spared.

"Ugh!"

"They are all poor people!"

"Brother, do you want to see more?"

"No need to watch it. A peaceful and prosperous era will come sooner or later... Let's see if Wang Ying is caught?"

On the water mirror turntable, "Moyun Golden Wing" Ou Peng, who was very good at light work, stood on the treetops with his toes and looked up. His sharp eagle-like eyes swept across the messy county town.

All of a sudden, he seemed to have discovered something.

Then, like an eagle swooping down, a large rolling knife slashed towards the empty corner.

"Puff!"

A stream of blood splattered.

Wang Ying, who had blended in with the surrounding environment, finally emerged.

Because he had consumed most of his energy in trying to save his life by cutting off his tail, he had no chance to fight back at this moment!
