In the 671st section, Liangshan ushered in the first big challenge

In order to avoid being robbed halfway by the powerful Erlong Mountain, which was in full swing, the uncle and nephew of the Zhu family deliberately walked around to the east and then turned south, but Erlong Mountain still noticed it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The Peach Blossom Mountain bandits, who had not moved since defeating the encirclement and suppression of Thunderbolt Fire Qin Ming, suddenly moved when the pirates stopped landing and looting?

The three giants of Erlongshan were surprised before: why didn't Peach Blossom Mountain even grab summer grain? When did the murderous, domineering and arrogant uncle and nephew of the Zhu family become a good person and a good baby?

has won a big victory, the main force of the henchmen is almost undamaged, and the fierceness is raised, according to the temperament of the family, it should not behave like this.

If things are abnormal, there must be demons.

The three giants have analyzed the reasons for the stability of this evil neighbor, know Zhu Wannian's ability, understand the arrogance and audacity of the Zhu family's uncle and nephew, and secretly worry that the Shaking Mountain God King who was accepted before is on the list and the seven or eight thousand peach blossom thieves are cheating, and they have to prevent the treacherous Zhu Wannian from engaging in internal and external cooperation to break the mountain pass and compete for Erlong Mountain, and now it is determined that Zhu Wannian wants to evacuate Qingzhou.

They never underestimated Zhu Wannian, and they immediately shifted their attention from the focus of accumulating grain and grass to organize their armaments and attacking Qingzhou City, and immediately shifted to the Peach Blossom Mountain Bandits.

Chief Military Advisor Zhi Duoxing Wu Yong was excited.

He looked at Chao Gai eagerly and said, "Brother, the ten thousand people under the uncle and nephew of the Zhu family are all rare elites. If our cottage can be annexed, its power will more than double. ”

Although there are enough soldiers in Erlongshan, it is the previous horse trafficking that lost almost all the backbone that can be loyal, and also folded the three leaders such as the little overlord Zhou Tong, so that it has to attach great importance to it and buy the rebels of Snake Horn Ridge, who have strict military quality and combat effectiveness, attach importance to the Poison Horn Jiaojiao Qin Hui and others to improve the backbone, and the effect is good, and this gradually recovers its vitality.

Because the horse sale was a loss of manpower presided over by Gongsun Sheng, Wu Yong did not directly point out the lack of cronies and backbone minions in the cottage.

Of course, Chao Gai and Gongsun Sheng both understood what they meant.

Some of the defectors recruited later were of good quality, but most of the replenished personnel were rabble.

For example, the quality of the ruffians and hooligans and bullies recruited and forcibly recruited as cannon fodder in Baihu Mountain and Qingfeng Village is even more unbearable. These people's strength is not necessarily bad, but they don't want to be robbers who will die in a war at any time, and they can't talk about loyalty at all, just because they can't continue to mix with the great Song Shunmin and do evil among the people, so they don't dare to defect.

As for the group of Qingfengzhai, they are a group of murderers with poor overall combat effectiveness but bad hearts, that is, Yan Shun, Wang Ying, and Han Bolong are worthy of being taken in.

Chao Gai was also moved, but he also had concerns, and turned his head and asked Gongsun Sheng: "What does Mr. Gongsun think?" ”

Gongsun Sheng is pondering the destination of the Zhu family's uncle and nephew leaving Qingzhou.

Looking for pirates to flee to?

No way.

Qingzhou is on the coast. Although the pirates did not come to Qingzhou to plunder the population this time, it was easier to join the pirates in Qingzhou, which was always advantageous than going south and not entering the interior of Shandong.

Moreover, this time, the pirates clearly demonstrated the criterion of not being guilty.

Zhu Wannian is not stupid, he knows that his own hands are full of blood and sins, and he is the target of pirates' rejection and even severe attacks, and he has no chance to take refuge in him, but he is afraid that he will be killed.

Moreover, with the arrogance and arrogance of the four members of the Zhu family who are accustomed to being masters, they are ambitious, and they will not be willing to bow their heads and listen to the pirates' arbitrary instructions.

If you don't join the pirates, then you don't want to compete with Erlong Mountain, which is a powerful city, and you want to go to other places to open up an ideal base Luo.

It's all about where they want to go.

What if you go to Liangshanbo to seek revenge and take advantage of the situation to occupy 800 miles of Shuibo as a disaster in the world to fight for hegemony?

This possibility is not nonetheless, but enormous.

The four survivors of the Zhu family are all conceited and ungrateful, but they keep in mind that they will repay the ruthless.

Although he didn't know how the Peach Blossom Mountain thieves could fight Liangshan without a ship, Gongsun Sheng still roughly concluded that the purpose of the Zhu family's southward movement was at least one of them.

Then, do you want to use the power of Erlongshan to kill the four members of the Zhu family and eliminate this big hidden danger threat for Liangshan?

Gongsun Shengluo rejected this idea as soon as he analyzed it.

With the current strength of Erlong Mountain, both the leader and the strength are enough to defeat the Peach Blossom Mountain bandits.

Now the thunderbolt fire that is loyal to King Chao Tian, Qin Ming can restrain the brave wish for ten thousand years. With the force of Lei Rensen, Lei Rensen, Yin Tai, Jiao Qinhui, and Li Zhong, the tiger general, as the pillars, they are fully capable of crushing the dragon and tiger of the Zhu family, plus the combination of Chao Tianwang and Wan Danian, who are also good at natural divine power and sword skills.......

Tsk, defeating Peach Blossom Mountain is not a problem at all.

But the problem is that if you want to kill the four members of the Zhu family together, especially to get rid of Zhu Wannian, the backbone of both civil and military affairs, I am afraid that I am not sure.

The four members of the Zhu family are all cunning and clever, no fool knows that he can't run if he can't beat him?

This family is not a character who is righteous to the cottage brothers and can share life and death with his subordinates.

When it is critical, they will immediately abandon their subordinates and flee on their own.

Moreover, with Zhu Wannian's shrewdness and Zhu Biao, who is also scheming, it is impossible to evacuate Qingzhou without defense against Erlong Mountain, and there must be a backhand.

From the fact that they went south but went around the nearest Erlong Mountain, they could also know that they were prepared.

In this way, if you want to get rid of the great trouble of wishing ten thousand years on land, I am afraid that it is very difficult.

Only on the water, which is not good at and has no way to escape, is a reliable way to trap and kill Zhu Wannian.

It's better to keep it and let Zhu Wannian go to Liangshan.

With the water advantage of Liangshanbo, the peach blossom thieves who have no boat should be sure.

Even if the Taohuashan bandits didn't go to fight Liangshan, they just wanted to avoid Erlong Mountain and settle down to survive and grow, take root in Shandong, and pose a threat to Liangshan, which is not necessarily a bad thing.

This special territory of Liangshan is not afraid of many threats.

Now the situation has changed. Liangshan did not need the peace and tranquility of the surrounding state capital to avoid the attention of the imperial court. There are a lot of soldiers and bandits around, and the more chaotic the situation, the easier it is to profit from it.

The gang of powerful scourge of the Zhu family attracts attention, which should be more beneficial to Liangshan.

After thinking about it in a blink of an eye, Gongsun Sheng smiled apologetically at Wu Yong, who was eagerly looking at him and hoped to help him strengthen his persuasive power, and said to Chao Gai: "Brother Tianwang has concerns about annexing Peach Blossom Mountain, right?" Poor Dao couldn't figure out the pros and cons for a while, so he just waited for his brother's orders. ”

Chao Gai nodded slightly.

The annexation of the Taohuashan forces is nothing more than two ways.

One is to force the Zhu family's uncle and nephew to surrender with superiority, accept him as a general, and swallow his people.

This shouldn't work.

It is to be able to work, to wish the family the poisonous snake heart, put it in the cottage, put it around, I am afraid that it will lead the wolf into the house, and sooner or later there will be a risk of devouring the lord and seizing the throne.

This kind of person, knowing his heart, who dares to take it in and reuse it?

That can only be another way, kill Zhu Jiazi and his cronies, and collect them.

But I'm afraid it's not so easy to kill.

Although Zhu Jiazi is arrogant and arrogant, Zhu Wannian is very shrewd, and it is one thing to calculate Erlongshan in his heart, but on the face he is not only with Erlongshan well water does not violate the river water, but takes the initiative to avoid the interests of some territory, and never competes with Erlongshan.

Zhu Biao, who is arrogant and domineering, loves to provoke trouble, and never provokes the people of Erlongshan.

If the Zhu family does this, the outside world will have the impression that the two mountains are friendly, at least not enemies. Herein lies the trouble.

It's the enemy, but it's better now, and there is a reason to swallow it.

It's a pity that the outside world thinks that the two mountains are not rivals.

Chao Gai is worried: once Zhu Jiazi is allowed to escape during the forcible swallowing, the notoriety of Erlongshan for bullying the weak and swallowing the weak in spite of the morality of the green forest will definitely be deliberately exaggerated and publicized by the vengeful Zhu Jiazi, and the trouble will be made one after another, at least there is nothing in Shandong and Hebei that does not know, and the reputation of Erlongshan will stink all of a sudden.

It is taboo to mix green forests but do not abide by the most basic rules to maintain the order of green forests.

The reputation of not preaching morality has spread, which hero is willing to take the initiative to take refuge in the future? Who doesn't worry about taking refuge in the slain lord and swallowing the crowd?

The work of mixing with the black is all about faithfulness, fame, and face, and the hard power of force is only one aspect.

In the same area, everyone is black, as long as the well water does not interfere with the river water, and all parties cannot help each other, then at least there must be harmony on the surface, and they cannot kill each other to benefit the government.

Even if Erlongshan marks its political stance under the banner of Tianxingdao, which is different from other traditional green forests, it is still a robber in the eyes of anyone and still has to abide by the laws of the green forest.

Hebei Tianhu is a country that has established political rule and basically got rid of the green forest framework, but with its greedy and ferocious habits, it is still silently abiding by the laws of the green forest.

He can only guide and coerce the green forest forces with strong power and benefits, make them voluntarily bow their heads or have to surrender, insist on erecting the banner of righteousness, dare not give up the green forest principle, kill their masters casually as a national armed force, forcibly seize the mountain, and refuse to consciously take refuge and even hinder his political goals.

It was the righteous spirit that allowed Tian Hu's puppet Jin State to continue to grow.

Whether the capable people under the Tian clan are forced to join involuntarily, or they are attracted by the benefits of officialdom and take the initiative to actively participate in it, and want to fight for a political future and seek a founding prince, they can follow and serve under Tian Hu's insistence on righteousness, at least before the pseudo-Jin State does not fall, or Tian Hu does not go crazy and self-destruct the credibility image that has been erected with great difficulty.

Tian Hu, whose momentum has become a climate, can only do this honestly, how can Erlongshan provoke the laws of the road to be the first bird to break the rules.

As Gongsun Sheng expected, sure enough, Chao Gai weighed and weighed, and with his temperament, green forest thinking habits and love of face, he also vetoed Wu Yong's suggestion.

"Strategist, I'm afraid it's difficult to kill the Zhu family."

"The rest of the Peach Blossom Mountain tribes did not abandon the Zhu family when the situation was most critical, and now they all leave the familiar hometown of Lao Chao when they leave, which shows their loyalty to the Zhu family.

The number of these people is too large, the strength is strong, all of them are fierce gangsters who are difficult to control, and they are afraid that people are absent-minded, difficult to digest, leaving hidden dangers, and they are afraid that they will be demon moths. ”

Wu sighed, shook the feather fan and nodded, "Brother said yes." Then let them go as they please. ”

He is not unaware of the pros and cons of strong mergers and the series of harms that may arise from them.

It's just that with the rapid and steady growth of Erlong Mountain, with the strength of the foundation, from the foothold of being a robber to resist the imperial court, it has developed too smoothly, and it is inevitable that there will be pride, so he looks down on the fundamental strength of the Great Song Dynasty, and now he has a strong political ambition, and is no longer willing to be a big bowl of wine and meat, rich and powerful, with face and prestige, and hopes that Chao Gai will lead everyone to quickly embark on the road to the founding of the country, and always feel that the development is too slow, far behind Tian Hu and Wang Qing, and can only be nested in Erlong Mountain as a robber. Even Qingzhou has not been taken, how can it compete with those two princes who have already occupied the capital of the Great Song Dynasty to recruit troops and pay taxes, officially list the land and build the country, and the development is vigorous? Therefore, I am too eager to strengthen my strength and lay the foundation for fighting for the country, so I want to do it regardless of the law of the green forest.

In addition, Wu Yongxin did not agree with the principle of attracting talents based on the law of green forests.

If you want to fight for the country, you still have to take the formal political road.

With the loud banner of Tianxingdao and the strong appeal of overthrowing the corrupt rule of the Great Song Dynasty and rescuing the people, we can recruit all kinds of civil and military manpower, break the restriction that the identity of the green forest can only attract martial artists and kill talents, and gradually establish a pattern of both civil and military skills.

It can be said that under the new situation of this world, Wu Yong's narrow and inferior horizons of the original poor and lowly grassroots scholars have been greatly expanded, and the leader of the robber think tank should have a new realm.

Of course, although he was eager to be the founding prime minister, he was not completely confident in it.

What I muttered in my heart was that even if I couldn't bring down the Great Song Dynasty, Erlongshan was so powerful that the imperial court had to attach great importance to it, and it had weight in the eyes of the emperor, so when I had to compromise with the imperial court and be recruited, I could have more negotiation capital, and the benefits in exchange could be great, and I could still become a high-ranking official and live up to my life's talents.

In the final analysis, what he can't change is still the opportunistic and small character of the little man in his bones, and he does not have his own firm political ideals and propositions.

This is also a common problem shared by scholars in the Northern Song Dynasty -- talented, proud, conceited, squeamish, sleek and lacking bones, can only follow the crowd, defect to the enemy and betray the country, and boast that he is a handsome man who understands current affairs.

Erlongshan did not block the interception, and without this biggest threat, the Taohuashan bandits successfully threw off Qingzhou, and they had no scruples.

However, the mighty southward march was still a cautious frame, trying not to make a noise, neither slaughtering and humiliating the people nor robbing the surviving rich families along the way, and trying to choose a place that did not disturb people, and marched quickly to the south.

They don't show the banner of bandits, don't say that they are bandits in Taohuashan in Qingzhou, they still fight the banner of officers and soldiers, pretending to be officers and soldiers, half of the soldiers are the officers and soldiers who have been accumulated in the defeated Qin Ming and the county seat in peacetime, and half of them are armed by the people, and the uncles and nephews of the Zhu family are the standard Song army generals, and the backbone leaders are all Song army generals, hundreds of cavalry, many mules and horses pulling money and grain, and the camping tents are all Song army equipment obtained from Qin Ming's deserted army. The people along the way, who didn't understand the inside story, thought that this was a fierce elite officer army with strict discipline and strict pursuit of the rogue pirates that was urgently transferred from nowhere. The "people's armies" in the ranks are the village warriors who are responsible for helping the army transport food and wages.
