After taking a comfortable shower and changing into clean clothes, Zhao Yue was relaxed, sitting in the inn room and slowly sipping tea and waiting for something.

It didn't take long for Wang Nianjing to bring in Gongsun Sheng and Li Zhong, who had come to visit.

As soon as Gongsun Sheng saw Zhao Yue, he smiled and said, "The quiet room is unique, the son is so elegant!" ”

Li Zhong only smiled at Zhao Yue and nodded, but did not say anything.

It's all in plain sight.

Zhao Yue smiled and stretched out his hand to extend the guest, and personally served tea to the two.

Gongsun Sheng took a sip of tea and couldn't help but sigh lightly: "Poor Dao is a person from outside, and I don't want to lose the quiet heart that a person who is outside should have." ”

There was a lot of emotion and sadness in the tone.

Zhao Yue smiled: "Mr. Gongsun does not hesitate to be infected with the spirit of killing, wading in red dust, and shoveling evil to help the common people, this kind of practice is more touching, more meaningful and highly cultivated, how can it be that he only knows how to dominate the beautiful mountains, only willing to sit behind closed doors in the majestic hall, and only wait for people to offer and respect, and only superficially compassionate and recite a few words of immeasurable Tianzun Amitabha Buddha's false Taoism for the suffering of the common people?" ”

"And Yue is a mundane person, trapped in the red dust and unable to extricate himself, full of vulgar thoughts, striving for fame, fortune and popularity, fighting for all the red dust and vulgar things, a cheesy body, countless desires/hopes, occasionally annoyed with the bustling and lively only to look forward to a little quiet, learn to taste the actions of the world's masters."

Gongsun Sheng heard these words and muttered for a long time before he twisted his beard and laughed.

Ever since he saw Zhao Yue's difference in Liangshan at that time, Gongsun Sheng has paid attention to Zhao Yue.

At that time, he was shocked by Zhao Yue's unfathomable martial arts and unique guidance and insight into the development model and path of Erlong Mountain.

He never understood why Zhao Yue, as the son of a powerful and wealthy family and a person with vested interests in the ruling class, would secretly actively help and support their gang of robbers and corrupt officials, who were anti-official and anti-Song rule.

Afterward. The folk slowly spread Zhao Yue's arrogant and arrogant actions and chivalrous and bully style.

Gongsun Sheng had a monk's mentality and watched calmly. noticed that Zhao Yue's actions seemed to rely on his family situation and the good reputation of the family, and he was willful and arrogant, but in fact, every time he really dealt with it, it was social injustice and darkness. The violence against the corruption of the government and the ignorance and numbness of the people challenged the weak cultural tradition of Confucianism and the dignity and authority of the ruling class that the Great Song Dynasty vigorously promoted, and the cold-blooded and arrogant authority.

The more time passed, the more he realized that what Zhao Yue did was by no means the common rebellious behavior of a common teenager in the rebellious period.

The famous Cangzhao family, a famous bastard who doesn't read, only messes around, and only smears the family's face, turns out to be so interesting.

Where is this human waste, social scum, and family shame?

People are clearly geniuses, and they have not seen a peerless person for hundreds of years.

No wonder the elders of the family say that the little grandson is a sign of the prosperity of the family's descendants and a lucky mascot. No matter how the little grandson makes trouble, he also reverses the beautiful image of compassion and benevolence, blindly connives, spoils the little grandson, and is tough and partial to protect to the end.

Gongsun Sheng felt that the two sons of the Cangzhao family, Zhao Lian and Zhao Yue, were like two sides of the same person, the former represented compassion and benevolence and the power of righteousness and light, and the latter represented ruthlessness and darkness and violence.

The former is beautiful, worshipped, praised, and followed, but it is weak and slow to deal with the evils of a complex society. Appears weak.

The latter is evil, ridiculed and disliked by the ignorant, but it is strong and quick to deal with all the evils of society.

As soon as the power of Cangzhao's two children is combined, it is like a double-sided divine sword that opens the sky and splits the earth.

There are only two boys in this generation, but they can really give birth. Two top 10,000.

What do you want to do to the Cangzhao family? Gongsun Sheng has a lot of speculation.

But he didn't want to knock on the side at this time.

Knowing that Zhao Yue had a good impression of him and that Zhao Yue was willing to get along with him, Gongsun Sheng knew that he had invisibly gained a kind of luck.

When it's time to reveal the secret. Nature will be revealed.

Such a powerful family and brothers, just get along well. As long as you follow their will, everything will be beautiful.

tacitly exchanged glances with Zhao Yue. Both laughed.

Straight to the point. Gongsun Sheng does not beat around the bush, does not talk nonsense, and directly explains his intentions.

It turned out to be a horse trader.

Since the bandit army, Erlongshan made a fortune with the robber army in the military division Wu with a wit, and his life has been so smooth and comfortable, asking for money, food, and people, not only standing firm, but also growing stronger and stronger without much tossing.

Nowadays, there are more than a dozen leaders in Erlong Mountain, dozens of powerful leaders from all over the mountain, more than 30,000 troops, thousands of horses, and listened to Zhao Yue's original advice, there are vegetable fields on the mountain, pasture grass is planted in the wild land above and below the mountain, horses are raised chickens, cattle and sheep, and the dragon lake is rich in fish and shrimp, and ducks and geese are raised. It was so good to eat.

The house, at the beginning, there was only an isolated Baozhu Temple on the mountain.

Nowadays, a ring of sturdy and worry-free two-story buildings made of stone and cement has been specially built around the top of the mountain, which is not only a comfortable place to live, but also a fortress and lookout post to block the enemy's attack from climbing the mountain wall and setting fire.

The vast flat area in the middle of the mountain top is vacated for training and intensive training, so as to facilitate the deployment of troops.

Erlong Mountain has been naturally formed in the past from the easy to defend and difficult to attack, into a place that can be called impregnable and unlawful.

In addition, according to Zhao Yue's suggestion and Chao Tianwang's evil nature, the cottage treated the surrounding people well, forbade the government to collect grain and collect taxes, extorted and oppressed, and won the support of the people, and the surrounding residents not only did not decrease due to robbers, but increased a lot.

With the food paid by the people, the food problem of the cottage does not need to rely too much on looting and persecuting the people.

A de facto independent kingdom has been formed within the sphere of influence of Erlongshan.

The personnel of the Qingzhou government did not dare to take half a step, so as not to be wiped out.

Life is good, people's hearts are smooth, and the cottage is naturally united and harmonious, which has also attracted outsiders to invest and become more and more prosperous.

It was also according to Zhao Yue's original suggestion that Chao Tianwang attached great importance to the construction of cavalry, especially the riding training of soldiers.

Nowadays, nearly half of the more than 30,000 soldiers in the cottage can ride horses, and there are more than 2,000 brave and good men who can really fight horses, although there are few horses and the training time is short. The ability to ride and fight cannot be compared with the horseback people who grew up with horses, but they are confident that they can steadily suppress the cavalry of the inland government.

The Qingzhou government has been threatening to train troops to exterminate Erlong Mountain. But he knew how powerful Erlong Mountain was, and he didn't dare to provoke him so far.

The chiefs had a good time. Drinking wine and eating meat every day, weighing and dividing money, practicing martial arts diligently, striving to improve the ability to kill the enemy in preparation for the big war, is about to live, one day suddenly accidentally robbed two horse dealers who secretly went south to send horses, only then did I know that Wencheng Hou opened the border pass Ma Zheng, not to mention Tian Hu, who was close to the Liao State to facilitate horses, was Huaixi Wang Qing. And what Jiangnan Manichaeism is trying to get horses.

Chao Tianwang has been for the cottage to get the Great Song Dynasty to raise horses are not good, and the number is small and worried, this time happy, I don't know, I know that I take immediate action, and an action is a big deal.

It's already late than others, so how can it work if you don't catch up as soon as possible if you don't make a big start?

Wu Yong, the military advisor, hurriedly raised the goods, plus the silk and satin and fine porcelain that were not suitable for the copycat robbery. More than 100 large trucks were loaded, and they were ready to transfer the best 1,000 cavalry men to the north with the goods, and strive to get at least 1,000 war horses from the Liao State at once.

The most important question is which leaders to send to sell the goods and get the horses.

Chao Gai, Wu Yong, and Gongsun Sheng, the three core leaders of the cottage, discussed carefully in private.

Chao Gai would love to go in person.

But Erlongshan is facing encirclement and suppression by the government at any time. The dragons can't be leaderless, and the cottage can't be led by the boss. Chao Gai can only give up.

Wu Yong is a military advisor, mainly assisting the owner of the village to defend and lay a good foundation. If you want to stay by Chao Gai's side and come up with ideas to deal with all kinds of events at any time, you can't go.

Gongsun Sheng is a native of Jizhou. Although Jizhou, which does not belong to the Liao State, has not returned for a long time. I don't know what the situation of Yanshan Mansion in Liao is now, but after all, I have been to Yandi, speak Jizhou dialect, and know Khitan language, so I am naturally the best leader as the third master.

This time the big job is not only to manage the team, but also to protect the payment of goods, to sell goods and buy horses, but also to steal horses, there are many miscellaneous things, only Gongsun Sheng alone leads the team, things can't be taken care of, the leader's force is also insufficient, no, you have to match a few more capable people.

The three leaders counted the leaders below one by one.

Chao Gai's first thought was naturally his most trusted brother Liu Tang, but Wu Yong rejected it first.

"Brother Tianwang, this time we entered the Liao Kingdom in the form of a business group, to do business, not to enter the Liao Kingdom."

"As far as Brother Liu Tang looks like he is, he knows that he is a vicious lawbreaker, who would believe that he is a businessman?

The appearance is conspicuous and conspicuous, the straight eyebrows and eyes are too murderous, even if you want to trap the guards to get through the level, I am afraid that it will be easy to be picked out and interrogated at a glance. How arrogant and fierce are the Liao soldiers to my Song people? is the most picky and harsh, and also wary of someone entering the country in the name of doing business to make trouble, seeing that Liu Tang's brothers are not pleasing to the eye and make it a little difficult, Liu Tang's straightforward and fast-talking, seven disagree with the fierce temper of eight who don't care, how can he suppress the fire on the Liao army, and if he moves the knife, the matter will be all over. According to the younger brother, it is better to leave him to guard the cottage and fight the official army. ”

Chao Gai thought about Liu Tang's terrifying red-haired ghost image and stupid tongue, and couldn't help laughing.

Liu Tang is not suitable to do this business.

The brothers Yin Tai and Yin Chun, who have a flowery face in Peking Opera and look fierce, are also not suitable to go.

Especially Yin Chun, who is not a stunned person who is willing to listen to people's greetings, not only can't help when he goes, but can only have a counterproductive effect.

Li Zhongren, the tiger general, is becoming more and more calm and atmospheric, his brain is becoming more and more active, his force is getting higher and higher, he has combat effectiveness, he is meticulous and cautious, he is good at money, he has enough experience in breaking through, he can hold back his anger when it is critical, and he is more and more prestigious in the hearts of the cottage brothers, he can manage people and money, and he is the leader of the cavalry, and he is the most suitable for selling horses.

This counts as a person in charge.

Zheng Tianshou is nicknamed the white-faced Langjun, and he is in the silversmith business, his appearance and speech are like businessmen, and he is fine, but it is a pity that the force is poor, this trip is a dangerous job in Liao, and it is indispensable to fight with the fierce Liao people, and he is only afraid that it will not be used at the critical moment.

Xiaobawang Zhou Tong is getting more and more grown, and his marksmanship is good when he throws himself into the mountain, and then he is very diligent in practicing martial arts with Li Zhong and Liu Tangzha all day long, and now the knives and guns are getting better and better, and some frizzy temperament has also changed a lot, and it is more and more useful.

The team that goes out to do big things is the most taboo and disunited. If you make a fuss over a small thing, you can ruin the whole big thing.

Since Zhou Tong and Li Zhong have lost their temper, can do things well, are lively, are the leader of the cavalry, and there is no appearance problem, let him go.

That's one too.

In fact, to do this trip, splitting the mountain Lei Rensen is the most suitable.

But the three giants of Erlongshan, no one mentioned him.

Ren Sen's appearance and temperament are extraordinary, born in the family of famous eunuchs in Beijing, well-informed, knowledgeable, proficient in the art of war, martial arts, calm and very smart, before falling into the grass is a master of business, the family has become a huge rich, and therefore provokes people's red eyes and suffers.

This person has too many advantages, and he is an excellent person who can handle things, stand up to things, and control the scene.

Chao Gai admires Ren Sen's character and ability, and uses him very much in all things in the cottage, but if he really wants to let Ren Sen go out and do things independently, he is not so at ease with this brother.

Gongsun Sheng and Wu Yong once said that this person was framed by corrupt officials and corrupt officials for money and forced to fall into the grass, hated the court deeply, wanted to kill officials for revenge, and was ruthless in dealing with officials and soldiers, but he was still unwilling to be a robber in his heart, and he was afraid that he would one day return to his normal identity.

This is a typical person in Cao Ying's heart in Han.

In fact, such a character is not suitable for mixing in the green forest, and cannot really integrate into the bandit group composed of a group of low-born, rough and uneducated people, and is suitable for an industry that conforms to the positive mainstream of society, such as being a majestic and decent official who lives above the temple.

Even if he is a mixed martial artist, Ren Sen should also be a general in the imperial army.

For such a two-minded copycat anomaly, no matter how talented he is, who would dare to let go of him.

If Zhao Yue wants to evaluate Ren Sen, he must classify Ren Sen as a category of Water Margin Yang Zhi: born in a famous family, people have outstanding abilities, their hearts are higher than the sky, their lives are thinner than paper and they don't know it, they hate corrupt officials and traitors in power, sigh that the world is too unfair to themselves, and they are resentful and unjust and fierce, but they are still loyal to the court.

Yang Zhi is depressed and unhappy in the Water Margin Liangshan Group, and Ren Sen's fate will not be better than Yang Zhi.

The rest of the leader: Kaishan Lei Huangkui is a vicious-looking mute. Ping Lei is a strong and impulsive and stubborn man. The two followed closely behind the sworn brother Ren Sen, and others were not able to move. Du Qian, Song Wan, Deng Long, and Bai Sheng are all foot generals. These leaders, the horse selling this trip is not very useful.

After a calculation, Chao Gai felt that the leader of the cottage was far from enough, and it was usually good to be fine, and he didn't feel that there was a shortage of manpower.

Gongsun Sheng said: "The cottage is fundamental, there can be no loss, I need my brother to bring more brothers to guard it, and I can't divide too many people." According to the poor road, the two brothers Li Zhong and Zhou Tong will go with me. If you want to use people again, you might as well send two brothers, Du Qian and Song Wan. The two of them have become stronger in martial arts, and they have always been down-to-earth and hardworking, calm and meticulous, hard-working, and leading the team to respond is the ideal candidate. ”

In this way, Gongsun Sheng led the team to Cheongju. (To be continued.) )
