———— the following text————

On the next five days, Yang Tong and his gang from Heihuzhai went down the mountain six times and looted six caravans, four of which were hung with the banners of Lu Ye Gongji, and the other two seemed to belong to the local families of Runan, and they were hung with the banners of 'Zou' and 'Yan'.

Let's start with the four caravans that belong to the Luye Freemasonry.

These four caravans, the merchants behind them all belonged to the Luye Freemasonry under the control of Lu Kuang, and they were the victors of the Luye Freemasonry Civil War, so they were simply called the 'Lü Freemasonry'.

The self-proclaimed orthodox Lü Freemasonry has its main forces in the four counties of Yexian, Kunyang, Runan, and Jiaxian, while on the other hand, the Luye Freemasonry, which was re-established in Ruyang by a group of people from the defeated side Wei Pu - let's call it the 'Wei Freemasonry', its power is mainly in the areas of Linru, Ruyang, Lunshi, and Liangxian, and now the two sides have regarded each other as enemies.

As for the trade route, the Lü Freemasons generally took the trade route of "Yangcheng - Jiaxian - Runan - Kunyang - Yexian - Wancheng", which was better to pass through the foot of Heihuzhai Mountain, where Zhao Yu was located; The Wei Freemasons took the trade route of "Linru - Ruyang - Liangxian - Luyang - Wancheng".

By the way, it is said that Yangcheng, where Zhengzhou and Zheng Zixiang are located, and Luyang under Liu Wei's rule, have now become the main battlefield of the confrontation between the two Masonic armies in the north and south, and the rest of the counties are the basic plates of the two sides, as if there is a sense of incompatibility.

I still remember Huang Shao, who was robbed by Yang Tong's gang a few days ago, he was under the name of the Lu Masonic Association, and he may have told other merchants in the Chamber of Commerce about the 'Yingshan Tiger Yang Tong Gang', so that the four caravans under the name of the Lu Masonic Association that Yang Tong and others met afterwards were very acquainted, and they saw a group of thieves holding the 'Black Tiger Flag', claiming to be under the Yingshan Tiger Yang Tong, and they all honestly handed over a few truckloads of goods.

And Yang Tong and his party did not embarrass them, collected a few truckloads of goods, and let them leave.

As for the other two caravans of the 'Zou Clan' and the 'Yan Clan', the former was also acquainted, and honestly gave a few carts of goods, but the latter resisted fiercely, in order to establish his authority, Yang Tong took Chen Mo, Wang Qing and the rest of the bandits, killed all the guards who tried to resist them, and robbed the entire caravan.

I believe that after the news spreads, whenever the caravan in the past bumps into Yang Tong and his gang, they will choose to negotiate with them and honestly offer some goods, unless it is the kind of super-large-scale caravan with hundreds of carriages and hundreds of guards to protect - this kind of caravan, Black Tiger Village can't scare the other party for the time being.

It is worth mentioning that when robbing Huang Shao, the thieves in the cottage also complained about letting go of the remaining twenty or so carts of goods, even if the next few times, the cottage soldiers forced those caravans to obediently give up some of the goods, these people still complained, until the battle with the Yan caravan that day, four people died in the cottage, and all the complaints disappeared.

Come to think of it, if you can get those caravans to sacrifice some of their goods as long as they lie down comfortably, who wants to fight to grab more? Anyway, there are so many caravans coming and going at the foot of the mountain, and each caravan gives a part of its goods, so they don't want to live too comfortably as bandits.

For a while, the support for Yang Tong in the cottage suddenly increased, and they praised Yang Tong for making a wise decision, even if it was a thief under Chen Mo and Wang Qing, they could not admit that Yang Tong's approach was indeed very smart.

No, to be exact, it is not Yang Tong who is smart, but a twelve-year-old boy who is now gradually regarded as a think tank by Yang Tong - Zhou Hu!

Most people in the cottage know that Yang Tong's recent changes, such as the change of attitude towards Fengcun and the change of attitude towards the past caravans under the mountain, are all because of a kid named Zhou Hu.

However, it is precisely because of this that Chen Mo's subordinates, such as Liu Tu, became more and more resentful of Zhao Yu, who was aliased as Zhou Hu, and hated this kid for forgetting his righteousness for profit, obviously they brought this kid to the cottage, but this kid went to Yang Tong.

For these people, Zhao Yu is not easy to explain, so he can only walk around.

Fortunately, Chen Mo also restrained Liu Tu and others, and Zhao Yu was not worried that he would be beaten by Liu Tu and others when he got up in the middle of the night to pee.

However, Chen Mo himself became more and more indifferent to Zhao Yu, just like he treated Yang Tong and those under Yang Tong.

Compared with Chen Mo and his subordinate Liu Tu's gang, Wang Qing was very interested in Zhao Yu, and when he bumped into him in the cottage a few times, it was obvious that Zhao Yu had already walked around, but Wang Qing still stepped forward, hooked Zhao Yu's shoulder, and pulled Zhao Yu together with a smile, hoping that Zhao Yu would change his mind and mix with him.

For this reason, Yang Tong, who was becoming more and more ambitious, was very unhappy and warned Wang Qing several times, and also warned Zhao Yu.

I have to say that Yang Tong still knows very well that he is two pounds, without Chen Mo and Wang Qing, it is nothing, after all, Niu Heng under his command will not be much inferior, but without Zhao Yu...... How did he go to Bo 'Tiger of Yingshan'?

You must know that most of the thieves in the cottage are not in the stream, and the vast majority of people can't even write their names, so let these people kill and rob, no problem, these people will immediately copy the knife, but let these make suggestions...... I'm sorry, these people are all tied together, and they are not as smart as Zhao Yu in Yang Tong's eyes.

Look at Guo Da, the second-in-command under Yang Tong's hand, took a very majestic thief called 'Fighting the Sky Eagle', he was like a big steward in the cottage before, and the trivial matters up and down were all under Guo Da's management, in the past, if Yang Tong had anything to do, he would first discuss with Guo Da, and then he would find Chen Mo and Wang Qing.

But now, Guo Da only has to listen in front of Zhao Yu.

For example, right now......

In the house where Yang Tong lived, Yang Tong and Guo Da sat on a stool with their hands folded, listening to Zhao Yu in front of them talk to them with solemn expressions.

“…… Many of the goods we have grabbed in the past few days are not needed in the cottage, so we can leave the horses and send the rest of the carts and goods to the villages below the mountain, such as Feng Village. It's not a free benefit, it's a win-win situation...... Relying on brutal looting alone, after all, it will not last long, the ancients clouded, exhausted the water and fished, wouldn't it be obtained? There will be no fish in the coming year. …… We snatched a lot of poultry from Fengcun this time, so that the brothers in the village could taste the taste of meat, but Fengcun suffered heavy losses, and I am afraid that it will take several years to recover, so what should we do when we eat up the poultry in the village? Looting at another home? No, this won't solve the problem, so the best thing to do is for us to secretly fund Fengcun and give them money so that they can raise more chickens and ducks......"

Yang Tong and Guo Da opened their mouths wide when they heard this.

They had only heard of thieves looting the villages, but they had never heard of thieves giving money to the villages.

"It's not about giving money, it's about mutual benefit. The lord of the village wants to dominate in Yingshan for a while, it's very easy, kill all the people who resist, and let the rest of the people fear you, but the problem is that we ourselves will eventually perish because of this, just like in the river, the big fish eat the small fish, the small fish eat the shrimp, the shrimp dies, the small fish will starve to death, the small fish will starve to death, the small fish will starve to death, and the big fish will also starve to death. Fengcun and other townships, it is shrimp, it is small fish, their village is rich, there are more chickens and ducks, we have meat to eat; If, on the other hand, the village is so poor that they don't have enough to eat, the locals will flee and the village will be abandoned...... If all the nearby villages become like that, the cottage will not be far from extinction. …… All in all, the owners of the village only need to remember one thing, that is, they are farming, mulberry, chickens and ducks for us, and this is enough. …… In addition, building a good relationship with the villages under the mountain will also help us to grasp the news of the county, which is what I said, the policy of 'mutual benefit of the village', what does the owner of the village think? ”

Although Yang Tong had never studied, and he didn't even recognize a few words, Zhao Yu had already broken and crumpled those truths, and told him little by little, where would Yang Tong not understand?

However, these are not what he cares about the most, what he cares about most is how Zhao Yu can make him a real 'Tiger of Yingshan'.

In this regard, Zhao Yu put forward his opinion: "Officers and soldiers outside the palace, and the group of people inside." …… Needless to say, Brother Guo Da mentioned earlier that when Kunyang County is busy with spring ploughing, he will definitely organize people to conquer my cottage again, but the officers and soldiers I want to talk about do not refer to Kunyang alone. In the past few days, we have robbed four caravans of the Luye Freemasonry, although as the lord of the village said, the Luye Freemasonry has been divided, and it is not as strong as it was at the beginning, but the Luye Freemasonry headed by the Lu family also occupies the area of Runan, Kunyang, and Yexian, and we plundered the caravan in the middle of the road, damaging their interests, and they will inevitably retaliate, for example, matching Runan, Kunyang, and Yexian to jointly send troops to crusade against the cottage. …… This kind of thing, the owner of the village must not be guarded against. ”

Hearing this, Yang Tong's face suddenly sank.

Also, just one Kunyang County makes them feel like they are facing a great enemy, not to mention the officers and soldiers of Runan, Kunyang, and Yexian counties?

"Do you have an idea about that?" He asked in a deep voice.

"Yes."

Zhao Yu nodded and said, "That's the inner control group." …… Yingshan is very large, west to Luyang, east to Kunyang, Xiangcheng, north to Runan, and there are no less than 100 thieves hidden in it, our Black Tiger Village is just one of them, whether it is to resist the encirclement and suppression of officers and soldiers, or the owner of Dazhai wants to become the tiger of Yingshan who really occupies one side, we have to find a way to recover the bandits in the mountains one by one, and bring those bandits into his command, at that time, there is only one team of Yingshan Kou, that is our Black Tiger Village, and there is only one thief in Yingshan, that is the master of Dazhai, the tiger of Yingshan Yang Tong! ”

Hearing these words, Yang Tong's blood boiled, and at the same time pointed out the direction of the way forward.

"That'...... How to subdue the Yingshan group? Yang Tong asked in a deep voice.

"It's simple." Zhao Yu smiled and said, "The owner of the village can send someone to invite the owner of the village to come and drink and form an alliance with them......"

Hearing this, Guo Da frowned and asked, "My Black Tiger Village has nothing to do with them, and there is even a conflict, how can they come?" ”

"Just lure them with interest." Zhao Yu narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice: "Brother Guo Da can tell them that as long as they are willing to go to the appointment and are willing to conclude an alliance with our Black Tiger Village, we can give them a part of the money and food benefits obtained from the road down the mountain." ”

Sending something again?

Yang Tong and Guo Da glanced at each other, and they were both a little stunned for a while.

They're bandits, right? But how can you deliver things to outsiders all day long?

"This kid won't fool me, will he?"

Looking at Zhao Yu with a confident face, Yang Tong muttered a little in his heart.
