On the poor mountain, Tian Guofeng was a little uneasy.

Although everything was developing smoothly according to Xu Xiang's prediction, when he saw Zhu Youzhen and Cao Bin leading three thousand subordinates to surround him on the mountain, he still couldn't help but be shocked.

My family knows my own business.

If Zhu Youzhen attacked with all his might, he knew that he would not be able to withstand it.

The people in their early 1,000s on the mountain, the people who were really brought by Chen Changfu and Xu Xiang were only one hundred and five. These people are the elite of Datang's internal guards, but the problem is that they can't use the equipment of the internal guards, so they can only be the same as others, holding some messy weapons in their hands, and entering Tai'an City, finally allowing them to grab a lot of standard weapons from the enemy, but compared to the weapons used by the Datang internal guards, they are also about the same.

If the weapons are not in hand, they will at least have only the usual seven or eight costs left.

As for the other Taishan bandits, even though they have been trained for a short time, they are not at the same level as those battle-hardened sergeants under Zhu Youzhen and Cao Bin.

Xu wants to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai platform.

Chen Changfu rubbed his hands.

Tian Guofeng's heart was shocked.

At the foot of the mountain, Zhu Youzhen and Cao Bin were planning how to pull Wu Kejin's wealth into their arms.

Zhu Youzhen didn't attack, and finally relieved Tian Guofeng, until Wu Kejin really heard the news and rushed with Tai'an soldiers and horses, and he finally let out a long breath.

Until now, everything is still within Xu Xiang's plan.

"Mr. Gongsun is really a god!" On the top of the mountain, Xu Xiang, who seemed to have collapsed in front of Mount Tai and remained unchanged, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Since the internal guard discovered that the huge smuggling team from the Central Plains was actually subordinate to Zhu Youzhen, Gongsun Changming analyzed that Zhu Youzhen, who seemed to have become a waste of firewood, was not willing to withdraw from the stage of history based on all aspects of intelligence. And behind him, there must be a behemoth.

Of course, this person can't be Zhu Wen.

And if you want these huge smuggled materials to run quietly in the territory of Pseudo-Liang, who else has this ability except Jing Xiang?

This also shows that what Jing Xiang really supports is Zhu Youzhen, who seems to have no power at all.

Zhu Youzhen really never dreamed that Hao Ren, the leader of the underground gang in Chang'an, who he relied on most in his smuggling network, was actually a pawn planted by Li Ze before he withdrew from Chang'an. And those smuggled items, under the rule of Li Ze in the north, it was the internal guards who really held all this.

As for why Jing Xiang supported the most vulnerable Zhu Youzhen, in Gongsun Changming's opinion, it was even simpler. Zhu Wen did not follow Jing Xiang's plan, hurriedly proclaimed himself emperor, and made himself the target of public criticism, which made the pseudo-Liang in a difficult situation now, made Jing Xiang completely disappointed in Zhu Wen, and also made Jing Xiang himself reflect on what kind of leader he needed to allow him to show his ambitions.

Zhu Youzhen is undoubtedly the best choice.

A prince who received his help when he was most lonely and helpless, once he can successfully reach the top, it will be easier for Jing Xiang to control, and it will be easier for Jing Xiang to calmly implement his own policies.

Zhu Wen, in the final analysis, is still a military leader.

And it's also a military leader with a lot of problems.

It seems that he has great respect for Jingxiang and obeys his words, but every time he comes to a critical moment, he always drops the chain and can't withstand the huge temptation, look at what Li Ze of Wuyi does? If you really want to be the emperor, Li Ze's conditions are much better than Zhu Wen. But Li Ze couldn't bear it, and offered such a mud bodhisattva as Emperor Li Tang on his head alive, and tried every means to squeeze the last bit of this mud bodhisattva to the extreme.

Xu Xiang and Chen Changfu were sent out during that time period.

Zhu Youzhen needs to strengthen his strength, and in other directions, he can't compete with his two elder brothers, so Pinglu is his only direction.

Now, the curtain has been lifted.

Xu Xiang smiled and looked at the Tai'an army under the mountain that was preparing to attack with a whole army.

Wu Kejin is too rich, and in this world, it is a sin to be too rich. Zhu Youzhen, as the prince of the prince, can only invest in his own power every penny he gets, and he lives a tight life, and now such a big money lord is sent to him, how can he not grasp it?

Zhu Youzhen needs his own manpower, and when he comes to Pinglu, he will only work hard for this one thing. And to rebuild his power, he needs an endless amount of money.

As for whether Zhu Youzhen can take a fancy to his group, then he needs this battle to show his own prestige. The current Zhu Youzhen must be eager to seek talent. A group of Taishan bandits like them, with a clean net worth and no one behind them, are now facing a desperate situation, which is a good target for him to recruit.

Tian Guofeng and himself are Tai'an people, even if he is Chen Changfu who is alias Chen Fu, the internal guards also arrange his resume clearly, even if Zhu Youzhen sends someone to Chenjia Village to check in the future, there will definitely be no disclosure.

"Chen Fu!" Xu Xiang looked at Chen Changfu, who was wiping his bow and arrows, and said with a smile: "Give them a dismount!" ”

"Understood!" Chen Changfu grinned, and his mouth full of big yellow teeth looked at Xu Xiang disgusted for a while.

Xu Xiang is a scholar, so he can naturally maintain a relatively refreshing image, but Chen Changfu is a bandit who can recognize a few big characters, in order to make the original white teeth become the current appearance, for a whole year, this guy not only did not brush his teeth, but also rolled the leaves with paper and pumped wildly, and finally succeeded in changing his image.

Under normal circumstances, Xu Xiang would not talk to Chen Changfu within a foot.

Chen Changfu led 150 internal guards at the forefront. And behind them, there were two hundred bandits who came out first from Tian Guofengjing. In Xu Xiang's words, Tai'an soldiers and horses are now dogs fighting people, and the first wave of attacks must be the hardest-working, so if you want to give them a storm-like blow, you have to beat them up all at once.

One hundred and fifty crossbows were ready, and it was a joy for the internal guards, who were accustomed to using crossbows, to finally be able to use the weapons to which they were accustomed. Although the crossbow in his hand is much worse than the equipment of the internal guard, it is better than nothing.

Crossbows, horizontal swords, and hand shields, after a trip to Tai'an Mansion, they can take them out openly, because they have captured them in the city.

With the sound of war drums, the whole army under the mountain was finally completed, and as Xu expected, more than 2,000 Tai'an soldiers were actually pouring out of the nest and rushing towards the poor mountain densely.

The poor mountain is not big, it is not easy to spread the soldiers and horses on three sides, only one side of the gentle slope is convenient for the development of the army, more than 2,000 Tai'an soldiers, divided into three waves, about 100 steps apart, shouting and rushing upward, looking at their appearance, it seems that they want to eat the opponent in one go.

With Zhu Youzhen and Cao Bin in the back, they naturally didn't need to leave any reserves.

Five hundred steps, three hundred steps, one hundred steps, the archers of the Tai'an soldiers and horses raised their bows and arrows in their hands, and in the buzzing sound, the feathered arrows flew towards the poor mountain.

Seeing this, Xu Xiang immediately shrank into a crack in the stone he had found before, and put a wooden plank in front of him. Although he is not a powerless scholar, he really can't help much on such occasions.

All the Tarzan bandits hid quietly in the blind corners that could not be covered by simple wooden shields or bows and arrows, and although many of them were scared in their hearts, they were still able to maintain their composure under the rigorous training for more than a year.

Under the mountain, Zhu Youzhen and Cao Bin looked at each other a little.

"This bandit is very unusual!" Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but say.

Cao Bin nodded, squinting at the bandits on the mountain. There were only eighty steps left, but it was still quiet on the poor mountain, and the other party did not fight back at all. He knew that these Tarzan bandits did not have long-range weapons in their hands, but they could still maintain their composure under such a blow, which was the correct reaction that only an extremely experienced army could make.

The Tai'an soldiers can shoot three arrows at the end.

Cao Bin estimated it in his heart.

After three arrows, the arms are sore, and they need a certain amount of time to buffer, and at that time, it must be the moment for the opponent to counterattack.

Sure enough, as he expected, after the three arrows, the arrow rain slowed down, and the Tai'an soldiers and horses shouted and rushed towards the Taishan bandits thirty paces away.

The one hundred and fifty internal guards lying on the ground stood up at the same time, their crossbow arrows flat. With the sound of crossbow arrows breaking through the air, the people in the front row of the attacking Tai'an soldiers and horses fell to the ground in unison.

Within thirty paces, the destructive power of the crossbow arrows is staggering.

In one volley, at least more than 100 Tai'an soldiers and horses fell.

Cao Bin couldn't help but shake his head.

No matter how sure you feel, shouldn't you put the shield soldiers at the forefront? Fortunately, the shield-wielding soldier was left behind because he couldn't outrun the other soldiers.

After a round of crossbow arrows, one hundred and fifty internal guards shouted, threw away the crossbow in their hands, held a shield in one hand, and a horizontal knife in the other, and killed them in unison.

Chen Changfu stood up, drew his bow, and the first arrow shot down a Tai'an officer who was standing under the banner and shouted loudly under his command, the second arrow broke the flagpole of the banner, and the third arrow, another officer fell under his arrow.

One hundred and fifty guards crossed the distance of thirty paces, from top to bottom, rushing and killing, Chen Changfu did not hurry, arrow after arrow, each arrow down, an officer fell to the ground.

Chen Changfu's archery skills, although not as amazing as his eldest brother Chen Changping, but his level can also be called a magic archer.

"Good archery!" At the foot of the mountain, Zhu Youzhen admired her origin.

"Good soldiers!" Cao Bin paid more attention to the one hundred and fifty bandits.

It's a simple block, a split, but the indomitable momentum before the block is a momentum.

After only ten steps forward, the Tai'an soldiers and horses at the front collapsed, turned around and fled down the mountain. and squeezed together with the second wave of attackers.

"Retreat!" Chen Changfu shouted loudly while shaking his somewhat sour right arm.

Hearing this, the hundred and five warriors did not hesitate, turned around and retreated.
