Not to mention that Gao Yu is acting as a robber in the government while acting as a corpse collection team. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info looks back to Qingzhou.

The disaster in the south also spread to Qingzhou, but it was none of his business, the southern pirates could not threaten Qingzhou in the north, and the prefect of Murong did not care.

He was annoyed that the Erlong Mountain Bandit Kou was becoming more and more arrogant.

The admiring fierce general Cui Meng only took 300 cavalry and 500 county soldiers to exterminate the White Tiger Mountain bandits, killed seven of the nine thieves, and saw that he would enter the cottage in one fell swoop.

The chief of the soldiers and horses, the thunderbolt fire, Qin Ming was furious.

The thief dares to leave the lair that is easy to defend and difficult to attack and cross the heavily fortified city to make trouble, so daring, damn it.

He shouted: "Fuzun, the last general asked for an order to suppress this group of thieves who dared to enter alone." ”

The prefect of Murong admired Qin Ming's loyalty and invincibility, but despised his intelligence, and only rolled his eyes when he heard that the words were not good, which frustrated the spirit of his subordinates.

Chasing?

How?

The thieves are cavalry and northern horses, and they run fast and come and go like the wind. And the Qingzhou army only has a thousand cavalry, not to mention the horses, and three hundred horses were damaged by Cui Meng, not to mention the thieves. Did they send infantry to assist in the pursuit of the cavalry? Can you help?

Qin Ming saw that the prefect was indecisive, and he was so anxious that he wanted to urge again, but he was quietly pulled by Huang Xin of Zhensanshan to stop him.

Huang Xindao: "The prefect, the head of Qin, the last general had to report to Erlongshan and sent four or five thousand infantry to the Baihu Mountain area to rob.

Baihushan County is a mountainous area with complex terrain, which is convenient for thieves to escape and hide ambushes. If our officers and soldiers go to chase and suppress, how many soldiers and horses are appropriate? 10,000 elite troops may not be used in the vast mountainous areas. It is feared that it will not be possible to achieve the desired effect even if the whole army is exhausted, but will provoke the ferocity of the robbers, who will not only kill and rob, but also set fire to the houses and fields that are about to be harvested.

I heard that the south was plagued by pirates, and the loss of money and food was huge. I'm afraid that food will be extremely tight, and the imperial court may not be able to support us. Local food harvests are particularly important. For us and for the people, this season's food is even more precious.

We cannot afford the consequences of the bandits setting fire to the White Tiger Mountain area. The victims alone are terrible enough.

According to the young general's opinion, the Erlong Mountain thief Kou dares to stay away from the nest to make trouble, and our army will punish and exterminate him, and kill his ferocious arrogance, which is also an opportunity. But on the way back from the south of their robbery. ”

Needless to say.

The thieves carried a large amount of supplies, were heavy and slow, and they had to defend the results of the looting and could not easily flee wantonly, so they could only concentrate their forces on a hard fight with the officers and soldiers, and there was no mountainous area to hide and defend, so they just used the sharp long-range weapons of the officers and soldiers to exert their might.

At the same time, intercepting and killing in a place closer to the capital city can also prevent the two bandits of Taohua Mountain and Qingfeng Mountain from taking the opportunity to seize the city.

And Murong Prefect's eyes were terrifyingly bright, thinking not only about hitting the thieves of Erlong Mountain, but more importantly, about money.

He went down from the comfort of the capital to become a local official, the purpose of which was to improve his qualifications and make money. But unlucky, as soon as he took office, he set up a bandit, and the days of peace of mind did not pass, and he did not make a lot of money, if he could rob the thieves of the results of looting, his pocket would definitely be able to bulge a lot.

That's a lot of smuggling and smuggling wealth in a county.

He didn't care about the lives of those landlords and officials in the Baihu Mountain area, and how unlucky they were.

Huang Xin's suggestion was exactly what he had in mind.

"This young soldier and horse eunuch is from a general, knowledgeable, and an official. It's not something that Qin Ming can compare. Murong Prefect muttered in his heart, with an approving smile on his face, and smiled at Qin Ming, who was eager to fight, and Cui Meng, who was eager to take revenge: "Don't worry, two brave generals. This official has already had a plan to exterminate the Three Mountain Bandits, and he will always make you kill a shame. ”

He does have a plan, see that the training has been effective, you can let go of the battle, plan to first fight the second but most arrogant Taohuashan bandits, destroy them in one fell swoop, and then wipe out the weak Qingfeng Mountain, first cut off the wings that Erlong Mountain can be used as a support, solve the worries of the heavy army attacking Erlong Mountain to form an empty city, and then gather the troops of Weizhou and other nearby state capitals to concentrate on dealing with Erlong Mountain, and do not attack the danger hard, only block the descent passage of the thieves in Erlong Mountain during the summer harvest, and prevent them from grabbing grain. Here is a quick harvest to collect the state's grain into the treasury. In this way, the food of the government is worry-free. And Erlong Mountain will have no food.

Chao Gai and other thieves were in front of robbers, but they set up a banner for the heavens, did something to love the people, protect the people, and only robbed the money and food of the big and wicked people, and did not rob the ordinary people of rations, so as to deceive people's hearts and make the people understand, support, and even join Erlongshan to fight against the government.

There is no food, I think you will do something?

Insist on selling fame and reputation to invite people to buy people's hearts, false benevolence and righteousness, and do not rob ordinary people, just wait to starve to death. I couldn't hold on anymore, revealing the true face of the robber, and had to take food from the mouths of the people, and the image that the Erlong Mountain thief Kou had worked hard to establish was immediately ruined, and he didn't want to coax people anymore.

The important thing is that there is no food, and the thieves can only go to the dangerous and difficult Erlong Mountain to fight hard with the officers and soldiers to seize the road. Our army besieged the mountain pass with heavy troops and strong camps but could not hold out, let the robbers brave the rain of arrows again and again desperately attacked the camp, the attack and defense shifted, and the danger was reversed, the benefit was in the official, just gradually eliminated the people and horses of Erlongshan, and so the thieves suffered heavy casualties and hunger, and then broke through the cottage in one fell swoop.

The prefect of Murong finished talking about the plan he had calculated many times in the morning. When the generals heard this, they couldn't help but applaud the good plan, and praised the lord's cleverness. In this way, the bandits of Erlongshan will be destroyed. made Murong Lao'er more and more confident and proud.

He didn't know that Zhao Yue had already realized that Erlong Mountain was not as convenient as Liangshanbo, and that it was easy to be blocked, so he had already instructed Chao Gai to prepare multiple circulation channels for waterways and mountain roads. There is a pulley crane on the top of the mountain, and thousands of pounds of things can easily be picked up from the lake or under the cliff. Soldiers, mules and horses can also be hung up and down the cottage in large numbers, quietly going out for activities or sneak attacks.

Erlong Mountain seems to be a Jedi with only one way to live, but in fact it is not a danger that can be easily trapped, not afraid of a strong attack, nor too afraid of siege. This is the key factor for Chao Gai and others to be confident in Erlongshan.

The Qingzhou government is well calculated. Song Jiang, who acted as the boss, was also in high spirits at this time.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around him to restrain and tie up, he sat in Baihu Mountain, skillfully established a friendship with the Yin family and Wang Xiao's father and son, reached a preliminary alliance, and further strengthened the close relationship with the old leaders of Horn Snake Ridge, Fangfang Lang Gou Fugui, Zhenshan Gang Wang Badao, Dong Xiaolang Liu Shangren, and Jade Face Langjun Gao Shiying, and stabilized his own power.

The 4,000 Erlongshan infantry ransacked the entire area of Baihu Mountain, wiped out the powerful smugglers of the landlords of a village, and grabbed a large amount of money and materials.

Although these minions and thugs are all vicious and bloody in their hands, they are suitable for being robbers, but I am afraid that few of them really want to follow Erlong Mountain as robbers, otherwise they would have gone to Erlong Mountain to take refuge earlier. They are more willing to follow the big households that collude with the government to cause trouble, but the township is a safe "good citizen" who is not attacked by the government, and surrender is only forced by the situation.

However, their little plan to wait for the opportunity to leave and continue to be "good citizens" and bad guys for a good life has failed.

Everywhere the Erlongshan Army collects people, a law enforcement team in the army forcibly stamps the faces of the surrendered thugs and minions with eye-catching stamps, and marks them with the three-character mark of "Erlongshan" that is generally difficult to eliminate. It's just that this seal is not embroidered with a needle, but the iron thorns that make up the characters on the iron mold are pierced out and formed with pigment.

This was not Song Jiang's idea, but Gongsun Sheng had arranged for the seal to be used on such people before, and it was inspired by the behavior of the Peach Blossom Mountain Zhu family to print the word Song on the soles of Minions to force a firm rebellion.

Forcibly kidnapping the villains for the Erlongshan Army, in addition to being able to quickly increase the troops, forcing this kind of obedient villains of the imperial court to follow Erlongshan to fight against the government with ferocity and bravery, in the end, it was the manpower prepared for Song Jiang to be recruited. With such markings, it is easy to distinguish who should be taken in when the time comes.

Not as long as anyone dares to fight and kill, and has the ability, he can be a soldier of the pirate empire.

In Zhao Yue's eyes, these remnants of the people who were stained with the blood and tears of the people were all to be consumed in the war against evil. Only when it is clean can it be conducive to the harmonious development of the new country.

The thugs had marks on their faces, and they all knew that being held by the government would be death.

The Qingzhou government hated the bandits of the Three Mountains to the core, but they couldn't cut them happily, and if they held the marked, they wouldn't care if they were real robbers or not, they would only cut them and make their contributions.

These villains had no way to retreat, and they also joined the gang with a cross heart, and they were more active and brave in robbery than the Erlongshan army, which greatly enhanced the efficiency of looting.

There were no officers and soldiers to chase and delay, and the raids were fast.

Song Jiang was very satisfied when he saw that he had achieved great success in the first game, and proudly returned to the cottage with the team. By this time, the number of troops had nearly doubled.

Not too far away from Baihu Mountain, Gongsun Sheng suddenly came with the five hundred Heavenly King Guards led by Li Zhong, and announced the order of the Heavenly King to the plundering generals, and handed over the money and property of this plunder, except for copper coins, to the Heavenly King's army for other purposes.

Song Jiang was unhappy in his heart, he was the leader of the army this time, but Gongsun Sheng only smiled and said to him that he had worked hard Brother Zhisi, congratulations to Zhisi for avenging his shame, and he didn't greet him at all about taking over the money, obviously treating him as an outsider and not treating him as the real leader of this trip, invisibly revealing alienation and disrespect.

But he couldn't say anything.

He is indeed an outsider. There is really no need to explain the matter of Erlongshan to him. It's a matter of etiquette. There's nothing you shouldn't say without saying it. What's more, Gongsun Sheng is one of the three leaders of Erlong Mountain, and even if he doesn't play the Heavenly King's Order, he has the right to directly order everything in this team.

Song Jiang realized in a blink of an eye that Gongsun Sheng's invisibly indifference should be caused by his destruction of the military discipline of Erlong Mountain.

Gongsun Sheng is in charge of this. Someone wantonly destroys, and he is naturally not happy. Just looking at Gongsun Sheng's eyes scanning the pig iron Buddha, Qiu Xiaoyi, Songjiazhuang's Laixing and others is not good. That is, he Song Jiang has a special relationship with Chao Tianwang, otherwise his head will be cut off by Gongsun Sheng.

In addition, the possibility of calculating ten thousand years has also been detected. This Taoist priest is a sober man, very shrewd and vigilant.

Wan Danian obviously didn't have an accident, and led the team back to the cottage safely. Otherwise, Gongsun Sheng and Li Zhong would not be so calm.

The elaborate calculation actually missed. Song Jiang couldn't know why, but regretted it in his heart. This 10,000-year-old year is really a big threat.

Yin Tai and Yin Chun are the old men of Erlongshan, and as soon as they heard that Gongsun Sheng took over the money, they guessed that they were going to use the money to trade directly with the pirates, without having to bother pulling around.

Yang Shi, Liu Wuji, Pig Iron Buddha, Gou Fugui and others have only been in the house for a few days, so naturally they don't know the inside story.

The Yin Tai brothers, who are capable, high-ranked, and old-qualified, have no objection to Gongsun Sheng, and they also show active cooperation, and they are even more qualified to resist for Song Jiang's face. Besides, Gongsun Sheng's military law is not easy to offend. For an outsider, Song Jiang pulled hatred on himself, these people are not so righteous and stupid.

Song Jiang is not a copycat leader yet, and now is not the time to follow him.

Song Jiang was shrewd, and saw that the Yin brothers understood Gongsun Sheng's purpose of receiving the money but did not explain it to him at all, and saw that the leader of Snake Horn Ridge couldn't wait to fight for him, and the pleasure of commanding this team as the boss and the pride formed by the success of leading the team for the first time were swept away, and his mood was very bad.

He felt that when he returned to Erlong Mountain, Chao Gai would not do anything to him, and he would still be the best brother as always, but there would be an embarrassment.

Not to mention calculating the things that might be detected in Wan Danian, Song Jiang didn't want to lose face in front of everyone for breaking military discipline.

His heart was cold, and an even stronger sense of insecurity welled up in his heart.

Unexpectedly, I didn't receive absolute hardcore henchmen like Kong Ming and Kong Liang on this trip, and I didn't find any news about the Kong family brothers after many inquiries. The younger brother of his cronies has disappeared magically, and he is afraid that it will be impossible to guard him anymore, and Song Jiang is more and more desperate to find an absolutely righteous and reliable master to support and protect him.

He naturally thought of Hua Rong, and he couldn't wait for a moment, so he immediately went to Qingfeng Village to try to get Hua Rong to Erlong Mountain to stand for him.

Moreover, in this way, he is not in the cottage, and without him as the party in command, it is not good for Gongsun Sheng to punish the murderers of the pig iron Buddha by military law. It is precisely the military punishment that can not only get rid of embarrassment and lose one's position, but also skillfully get rid of the military punishment of henchmen, killing two birds with one stone.

Song Jiang quickly figured it out, and greeted Gongsun Sheng before leaving, to skillfully show his close relationship with Chao Gai and his invisible second-in-command status in Erlongshan again, demonstrate to Gongsun Sheng, show his invisible authority to the people of Erlongshan, win back face, and appease the little brothers of the pig iron Buddha.

He smiled a few times at Gongsun Sheng and said: "Song Mou has done his best to help all the brothers on this trip, and the wealth has gained a lot, and he has achieved the purpose of sending troops, and he has lived up to the trust of King Chao. The matter is over, and Mr. Gongsun is here, so Song Jiang can unload the burden. There is a friend of mine here, Song Jiang wanted to visit for a long time, and he happened to make a trip today, only missing the coil, and asked Mr. Gongsun to leave five hundred taels of silver for my convenience. Hehe, Song still has some silver taels in his bag in the cottage. Mr. Gongsun can arrange for someone to pick it up and make up for it. (To be continued.) )
