The members of the Chengguan Brigade have been practicing under the scorching sun for several days, and now they have walked in line and in unison. In the morning, they trained in a queue, and in the afternoon, they concentrated on training the mandarin duck formation, and after the division of labor was clear at the beginning, they practiced their own, and when they were proficient in weapons, they began to run in between the teams.

The mandarin duck array looks simple, but the operation is actually complicated, eleven people as long as one person drops the chain can make the formation flawed, fortunately, most of the team members are honest villagers, know that this is a fateful business, can not be careless, everyone for those bonuses, training is quite hard, a few days of hard work, has had a little effect, it seems that it is no longer a silver wax lance head, but can be a battle.

Liang Chuan thought to himself, although these mountain people have that lame head of the big mountain as a staff officer, it will be quite troublesome to entangle, but they will definitely not be able to get rid of the characteristics of the peasant army, they are all fighting on their own, greedy for life and afraid of death, bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, their own formation is not chaotic, and they definitely have the strength to fight against them!

With the Mid-Autumn Festival, the temperature on the mountain is getting colder and colder, and the days are getting more and more difficult. Liang Chuan counted the days, and his nervousness became stronger and stronger, but he just didn't show it.

On the tenth day, the government finally moved, and early in the morning, people from the village ran to Liangchuan to tell him that the pontoon bridge that the official mansion had originally built on Nanxi had been built again.

Liang Chuan was overjoyed, but his joy and anger were invisible, he immediately called his younger brother, "You go to Xinghua City, find the eldest young master of the Zheng family, and tell him that I want to transfer a batch of rice, see how much he can give, the more the better, it is best to support two hundred people to eat for a month or two, and then go to the county government to recruit Li Chengfu Li Futou, and ask him to help me raise a batch of weapons, I want a spear, a long hammer, a big shield and a waist knife, see how much he can give." ”

Brother Zhao looked embarrassed: "Third brother. . . You know I can't speak.,Especially with these bad big brothers.,As soon as I see them, you'll re-open.,Besides, what you want is some... What if they don't give it? ”

Liang Chuan naturally knew that this matter was not easy to do, but there was no other trustworthy person around him, so he could only let Brother Zhao do it, and He Lu now had to sit in charge, and he couldn't leave.

You say to the stone: "This rice will not be worse than his money, it is the food of the soldiers who fight with the mountain people, and they cannot win this battle, and the first thing after the mountain people go down the mountain is to rob them of the grain of their big households!" Their Zheng family has a big business, and sooner or later they will be robbed by the mountain people, he can calculate this kind of business himself, and if he doesn't give me this face, don't come to me again if he is in trouble in the future. ”

"Young Master Zheng, I'm not worried, it's Li Dutou. Can you borrow these weapons if you want? Brother Zhao asked curtly, since ancient times, it has been a capital crime to violate the ban by force, and private transactions are even more intolerable under the king's law.

"There are so many weapons in the treasury that are gray, and it is a waste for them to be used by these officials, so you ask him to find a way to help him no matter how much he can collect from the yamen treasury or the blacksmith shop. Tell him that I have formed a militia team, and that I may have to fight a duel with the mountain people at that time, and that if there is a bargain, I will notify him to pick it up, and if I don't give him equipment, I will not make a cheap move. ”

Liang Chuan saw that the weapons used by the officials when he went into the mountains to inquire about the news that day were all brand new, which made him drool with envy, rather than catching these waste officials and wasting them, it was better to hand them over to him to arm the management team!

Brother Zhao hurried to Xinghua with Liang Chuan's message, just arrived at the river, the officers and soldiers of the court were holding guns with open guns, all wearing bright armor and hanging long knives, crossing the river majestically, their clothes and armor were unified, except for the different faces, the other equipment was neat and uniform, and it looked much more domineering than the members of the Chengguan team wearing tattered clothes.

The two officers and soldiers at the head, one of whom was known to Zhaodi, was one of the original group of gorgeously dressed guests, and he was a little arrogant and looked at people with his nose. This person is none other than Zuo Qiu Hong, a partial general under Cao Qiansong.

Zuo Qiu Hong rode on a high-headed horse, followed by the Quanzhou Shou General who served as a senior cadre in the third class of the palace, the senior cadre was old and serious, and he was steady, and he complained bitterly when he received this errand, he didn't want to fight with these Xinghua mountain people at all, Xinghua mountain people are notoriously poor, and they are so poor that they are going crazy, and they are famous in the state. Following this gentleman's conquest, but he is still a deputy general, and he can't do big things, watching this gentleman rush all the way to greedy for merit, he sighs that sooner or later he will suffer. However, the general's order could not be violated, and he could only watch dryly along the way, pay more attention to the marching problem, and avoid mistakes.

Brother Zhao waited by the river for this group of big-headed soldiers to cross the river, and this team of people looked about four or five hundred people, and they lined up to cross the river one by one, and they also lined up for a long time. The nearby villagers rarely come over to watch, because these people are no better than others, they are all unreasonable masters, and one does not want to cut over with a knife, who to reason, Lord Yama.

Zuo Qiuhong looked at Brother Zhao, as if he was a little familiar, and asked coldly at Brother Zhao: "Boy, Master Jun, I know you!" Where have I seen it! ”

Brother Zhao was a little frightened: "Big. . . My lord.. Good memory, we saw it at Brother He Luliang's house. ”

Zuo Qiuhong's eyes lit up, and he suddenly remembered: "Yes, He Lu Liangchuan, I have to pay a visit later." "Now Zuo Qiu Hong has soldiers in his hands, see who is using two nostrils, and now he is going into the mountains to cut down these mustard-like mountain people, the immortal merit is beckoning to him, how can he not be arrogant!

There are a lot of people in the north, but they are different from those in the Liao Kingdom of the Northern Han Dynasty and the Li family in the northwest, as soon as the officials and soldiers arrive at these homeless people, they can only wait for death, and the court is willing to send you to kill the homeless people is to let people go to gild, and after cutting down the homeless people, you can also add officials to the knighthood when you go back, and you can also rob the homeless people by killing them, which is simply the world's first-class fat difference!

Zuo Qiu Hong pointed to Zhao Di: "Boy, it's not peaceful outside now, don't you go home and stay, don't be a lonely ghost!" ”

Gao Gan was surprised to hear it on the side, isn't this Zuo Qiu Hong a cronie who followed Lord Zhao down from the north, why does this small place also have old stories.

Brother Zhao: "The third brother asked me to go to Xinghua to borrow some food, by the way. . . Borrow some weapons. ”

Zuo Qiuhong laughed: "Where to borrow weapons?" Don't laugh at the dead, you don't want to fight the mountain people. After speaking, he didn't bother recruiting his brother, called up the team behind, and as soon as he reined in the horse's head, a group of people immediately drove towards He Lu.

The more Gao Gan thought about it on the road, the more wrong it became, and followed Zuo Qiuhong to keep slapping the wind and said: "My lord, the people here are fierce, the so-called poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, where are the good people borrowing blades everywhere?" I think this place is weird everywhere, and I have to guard against it. ”

"Oh? If something is wrong, you can tell me. Zuo Qiuhong rarely listened to the words and asked.

"There are no farmers in this place, but there are no villagers in the houses, and there are no farmers in the fields, but they are all hidden. That kid just said that he wanted to transfer food and weapons? Which peasant in the countryside is so bold and dares to requisition these military supplies in an open and honest manner, my lord beware, these villagers may collude with the mountain people. "Gao Gan spoke seriously, and his analysis was the first to be true.

Zuo Qiuhong sat on the horse and listened to Gao Gan's analysis and suddenly laughed: "Master Gao doesn't know, there is a villager here, named Liang Chuan, who is a little clever and often does things that ordinary people can't understand. ”

Gao Gan didn't want to capsize the boat here, so he still whispered: "Be careful to sail the ship for ten thousand years." ”

Suddenly, the two of them heard a few loud roars, and looked from a distance, only to see that in front of He Lu Liangchuan's house, there were actually one or two hundred people gathered, all of them in disheveled clothes, holding guns and sticks in their hands, as if they were attacking Liang Chuan's house.

Zuo Qiuhong was startled, was he righted by Gao Gan, a ghost who was afraid of death, and immediately ordered the team to line up and quickly approach this group of villagers, it would be better if it was a mountain people, and the dishes sent to the door happened to be stewed for you in a pot.

At this time, Liang Chuan's side also saw the movement, the officers and soldiers of the court came, if they directly exterminated the mountain people, then they would not have to go to the mountains to take risks. Liang Chuan instructed the team members to continue training, and ran outside the village to watch, which way is this?

Zuo Qiuhong finally got a leading pioneer from Zhao Weixian, and came to open the way with five hundred vanguard troops, and five hundred guarded Xinghua. Seeing that this team was sparsely pulled, there was not even a guard and sentry, and now was the moment for his own achievements, and his subordinates waved their horse whips, eager to immediately impulse the enemy to fight.

As a result, when I arrived, I saw that it was none other than Liang Chuan, the village man who took pictures of Zhao Wangye's ass last time, and he was standing on the side of the road waiting for him like no one.

"Lord Zuo, I haven't seen the majestic wind for many days." Liang Chuan said complimentally.

Zuo Qiuhong pointed to the large group of people and asked, "Who are those?" ”

"Those are local dealers, idle and idle, practicing some self-defense skills."

Zuo Qiuhong looked at Liang Chuan and said, "You brought it out?" ”

Liang Chuan said with a smile: "The countryside and the countryside fiddled with some farm tools to make the adults laugh." ”

Zuo Qiuhong said: "Let them all disperse, as soon as my heavenly soldiers arrive, the mountain people are like chickens and dogs, and when I make contributions, you hillbillies should honestly go back to farming." ”

Liang Chuan asked in his heart Hou this big-headed Qiuba, with your attitude, see how much stronger these people under your command are not stronger than Xinghua's official arrest speed, all of them are pampered big-headed soldiers, and then meet you, a commander who has no brains, I am afraid that half of this Fu has not been defeated first, and you don't know the truth that the arrogant soldiers will be defeated since ancient times?

The five hundred Quanzhou soldiers brought by Zuo Qiuhong set up camp outside Helu Village, and he led the two senior cadres into Liangchuan's house and drank tea.

Gao Gan has always been very curious about Zuo Qiuhong's vision is so high, except for a few of them who came down from the north together, few colleagues in the south can enter his eyes, but he is still willing to talk to this villager, what is the origin of this person?

"Uncle Zuo, this is..."

"This is my lieutenant, Gao Gan." Zuo Qiu Hong said lightly, his tone full of disdain.

Liang Chuan hurriedly greeted: "General Gao! ”

Gao Gan clasped his fists and hurriedly replied, he is different from Zuo Qiu Hong, the older people are, the more timid they are, even Zuo Qiu Hong is polite, and he will not be an ordinary person.

"Mr. Liang Chuan is polite. I look at Mr. Liang's outside, and the training method of these villagers seems to be a bit of a doorway. "Gao Gan is a knowledgeable person, he has been secretly observing all the way with Zuo Qiuhong just now, and the practice of these villagers is very different.

"I implore General Gao to correct one or two."

"Mr. trained these villagers, advance and retreat with a degree of tacit understanding, it seems that there is a mystery hidden in the whistle, the southern mountainous military formation often cannot be opened, but this kind of formation of ten people is the most practical, it is really rare, I have lived in Jiangnan for a long time but have never seen or heard, there are masters here? This time. This.. Gao Gan took a breath and continued: "If you talk about combat power, I can't say it. It can only be witnessed on the battlefield. It's just that if everyone is equipped with a sword and a strong shield, they can't fight. ”

Zuo Qiu Hongyan said impatiently: "What is the rarity of a few villagers picking dung? I will send them back to the mountains and forests with one left knife and one right leg to nest in the mountain people! Boss Gao, have a tea break, and then go up the mountain with me to attack and kill! ”
