There is a common characteristic of officials, that is, they can use a person to the extreme, and they will not stop until the last surplus value is squeezed out.

Kongtong Mountain is the fortress of the ancient Silk Road in the west out of the pass, it is connected to Liupan Mountain in the west, Qinchuan in the east for 800 miles, Guanshan in the south, Xiaoguan in the north, Jing River and Rouge River in the south and north and south, intersecting in front of Wangjia Mountain. With its peaks and forests towering, the precipice is abrupt, the gully is vertical and horizontal, the culverts are all over, the strange rocks are craggy, the mountains are lush, there is both the male of the northern country, and the show of the south, it is known as the first mountain in Longdong. And because it is said to be the place where the immortal Guangchengzi cultivated the Tao, the ancestor of humanity, Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, once came to ask Guangchengzi in person and was respected by Taoism as 'the first mountain of Taoism in the world'.

It's very troublesome, there are more holes in the mountain, so there are more thieves, thieves can be regarded as a specialty of the Great Song Dynasty, because the government is relatively weak, so a person can occupy the mountain as the king, take a broken knife can eat meat in large pieces, and the big bowl of wine spoils the merchants who come and go, so that Yun Zheng himself wants to be a robber, it is too easy, there are only twelve archers in a county, and those officials are good at oppressing the people, and they can't count on it if they want to capture the bandits.

Ten people out of one hero, one hundred people out of one master, a thousand people out of one hero, ten thousand people out of one hero, this is the practice in the crowd, as long as there is a crowd, the law of raising Gu is suitable for the crowd, and it is always necessary to make a king. Kongtong Mountain is very big, and the most important thing is that he and Taibai Mountain can still be connected, and if he enters Taibai Mountain, it will be over, and the Qinling Mountains for thousands of miles will be tossed with them.

The king of Kongtong Mountain is called Gaitian King, and the people call him meat steamed buns, this nickname is not funny at all, his favorite thing to do is to catch people who are not willing to pay the road money, wrap them into meat steamed buns, and let the merchants who pay the money to buy the road eat, this is called "scared of guts", no one wants to eat human flesh, so the passing merchants would rather take a detour to Qingyang Mansion than pass through Yizhou (Pingliang).

Speaking of which, Yizhou belongs to the defense area of the Deshun army. The Western Army has always been a strong army, but there is no way to deal with King Gaitian, I don't know why, as long as the army of Jingzhao Mansion is dispatched. This guy will immediately know that with a large group of bandits of his own hid far into the mountains, Kongtong Mountain has twelve large peaks, countless small peaks, poor Deshun army can only search all over the mountains, every time when people are sleepy and tired, they will suffer from the backlash of others, and end up with a defeat, and the Deshun army who was beheaded for crime is in prison, no less than six people. Among them, four were beheaded by Han Qi, so Kongtong Mountain became a sad place for the Deshun army.

Pointing to the topographic map of Kongtong Mountain, Chong Yu said to Yun Zheng: "The bandits on the mountain are actually only a thousand people, as long as we send elite soldiers and good generals, the number is not too large, and 700 people are enough to defeat the King of Heaven on the plain."

Before, I couldn't get enough to make King Gai Tianwang happy. So King Gai Tian can hold back and not be moved, he knows that this official is not easy to mess with, now it is different, you have more than 2,000 war horses in your hands, this is a big deal, as long as King Gai Tian knows, he will definitely not be able to help but make a move. When the time comes, we will wait for the rest of our work and defeat him in one fell swoop! ”

"Good strategy. ' Yun Zheng high-fived and admired.

"I have five hundred guards, Ma Jinhu is also a fierce general, plus the two hundred generals of your Jiazi battalion, there should be no problem in leveling the king of heaven." ”

"There's a problem!" Yun Zheng saw that he was talking endlessly. I couldn't help but interject.

"What's the problem?" He asked strangely.

"My subordinates are mine, not yours, we didn't lose a single person in the battle in Western Xia, obviously went home, but we had to fight to the death with the bandits in Kongtong Mountain. After the fight, we don't have much benefit, because you plan to use the seized money to pay for the horses, and you sue me, what are we fighting so hard for?

Don't convince me of righteousness, my brother is precious, do you know how much money he burned and buried a brother in the battle of Jiazi Battalion? Fifteen times! So the lives of the Jiazi battalion are valuable, and you'd better not make up your mind. ”

Yun Zheng unceremoniously denied the idea of Chong Xuan, knowing what kind of idea he was fighting, from what he had just said, he knew that whether it was the Huanzhou military camp or the Jingzhaofu military camp, there were spies from the Gai Tianwang, so it would only be these seven hundred people who would fight to the death with the Gai Tianwang, and the combat effectiveness of the robbers who grabbed money and grabbed the red eyes was not weak, and no one could guarantee that a person would take the Gai Tianwang if he didn't die.

And he doesn't know the strength of the King of Heaven, in case there are thousands of people in the family, wouldn't his own people be meat buns and dogs and never return? He is already a victorious army, and everyone is anxious to go home, and this is not a good time to fight.

Chong Yu was silent for a moment, clenched his fists and said: "The great husband should act for the heavens, smooth the charm and spirit of the world, return the original color of heaven and earth, the hearts of the scholars and the hearts of the heavens, and the heart of the earth breathe together, and the jealousy is like the enemy for the big husband." ”

Yun Zheng shook his head and said: "I am a scholar, you let me carry a knife to kill the enemy, there will be a reward for the death of the court, the descendants are worry-free, they are not, the sky will fall if they die, so as long as they can avoid sending them to death, I will try my best to avoid it, to be honest, I regret taking them to Western Xia this time, it is my idea to make a contribution, not their idea."

The strength of King Gai Tianwang will not only be the thousand people you said, the Deshun army also belongs to the ranks of the forbidden army, but it has been defeated repeatedly, there are definitely not a few generals who have been captured alive by King Gai Tianwang over the years, people, as long as there is blood on their hands once, it is difficult to wash it off, those officers who surrender to save their lives are the most ferocious of the bandits, and your five hundred people will be broken. ”

He looked up at the window, lightly clasped the window and said, "Could it be that the King of Heaven is allowed to go unpunished?" ”

Yun Zheng pouted and said with a wry smile: "What we just said seems to be fighting bandits in order to take their silver, why are you now on the royal law again, can't you use the method of sharing the spoils to impress me?" I said so much, just to tell you that the Jiazi camp is not desperate for the sake of false fame, but it is absolutely no problem for the sake of silver. You have more people, my people are less, I take 30%, okay?

If the horse is damaged, you need to compensate, this is my bottom line. Five hundred people will definitely not work, Ma Jinhu and I can be used as bait, but there is a premise, you must first find out the spies in your army, if you can't find them, haha, I still take a detour back to Jingzhao Mansion, but think about it, can you use the spies to lure the thieves out of Kongtong Mountain, I don't mean to lead down the mountain, but to the plain completely. ”

Chong Yan looked at Yun Zheng with a strange look and said, "Can wealth touch your heart?" ”

Yun Zheng bared his big white teeth and said with a smile: "It is bad luck for the teacher to be nameless, and interests are the eternal excuse." ”

Chong Yan glanced at Yun Zheng deeply and turned to leave, and walked into the courtyard before saying: "I identified a few people and sent them over, the spies should be among these people, you find out by yourself and plan by yourself, I am only responsible for sending troops." ”

Two thousand five hundred war horses, now it is a hot potato, everyone wants it, from the government to the robbers, they all have the same mind, Zhang Fangping is not here now, otherwise he will definitely occupy some of it.

Yun Zheng thinks that these war horses belong to every subordinate who goes to Xixia, life and death hang above the hair, what has happened, only he knows, sometimes it is not too difficult to make money, how to keep the money is difficult, when making money, you only need to think about how to make money, and when you make money, there will be a lot of people who reach out to you, and the method of dealing with the enemy does not apply to them, and this time is the time to test a person's wisdom.

He was not satisfied with getting five hundred war horses, he wanted to get more, and the task of exterminating the King of Heaven was not allowed to be rejected by Yun Zheng at all, and a Zhizhou who held the military and political power of Huanzhou spoke in a consultative tone, which had already given Yun Zheng enough face.

Wugou saw Yun Zheng clenched his fists, and said on the side: "Before the World Venerable became a Buddha, there were hundreds of billions of evil ghosts devouring his body, and the World Venerable with supreme mana suffered misery, and his flesh and blood turned into blood food to feed all the evil ghosts, so it took seven years to become a Buddha. ”

"Evil ghosts can be fed, the greed in people's hearts is not enough, Jizo Bodhisattva swears that hell is not empty, vows not to become a Buddha, this great wish is probably very difficult to realize, some people will have greed, there will be strife, this is the soul imprint, it can't be removed, Jizo Bodhisattva's errand in hell is not good.

I don't care, what the World-Honored Buddha did, whoever stretched out his hand to me would cut off his hands, stretch out his feet and stomp his feet, and it would be a good way to take the power of the Heavenly King. I'd rather teach people to be afraid, not to teach people to bully! ”

Yun Zheng, who had thought of a way, got up and walked outside, and when he saw Liang Ji and Peng Jiu, they were still stupidly happy, and they were not going to affect their good mood.

When Liang Ji saw Yun Zheng come out, he shouted to start a feast, a jar of wine was poured into a big bowl, and a large piece of fat meat was also served.

There is no need for others to persuade them, the soldiers who have returned from victory have their own ways of celebrating, and today there are no rules in the Jiazi Battalion, only boundless joy.

After staying in Qingtang and Xixia for a long time, I also learned their rough dance, and when I drank too much, I would involuntarily dance, Kui Ming laughed the loudest, wearing a colorful skirt and flying in the crowd like a butterfly.

When the wine bowl in Yun Zheng's hand is empty, someone will immediately fill it up, and his wine will be dry, and the more others drink, the redder his face becomes, but the more he drinks, the whiter he becomes, and the two eyeballs become red.

Han Lin stood in front of the window, saw this scene, laughed silently, and handed a sealed fold to a person standing in the dark, patted the person on the shoulder and said, "Send it to Jingshi as soon as possible." ”

Then he sat in front of the window, twisting the fried soybeans in the bowl, eating a bean, and drinking a sip of wine.
