Chapter 10 Formation of Small Groups

"The rise of the Jin Kingdom is too fast, and there is no time to digest the existing territory, so how can there be money, food, and people to continue to go south. Whether His Highness chooses to fight the fire with a moth, or temporarily protect himself and make a comeback, please make plans early! Qu Ping pressed step by step.

Zhao Gou resolutely said: "Okay, then I will be the Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty Liu Xiu, and restore the ancestral rivers and mountains, and the king is Deng Yu!" ”

Qu Ping said: "I don't know Deng Yu, but I am willing to be Zhao Zilong and accompany you to kill seven in and seven out!" ”

Zhao Goushuang held Qu Ping's hands and said, "Okay, from today onwards, you will be my right-hand man." I haven't asked Mr. Gao's name yet. ”

"The surname is Qu Mingping, and the words are suppressed, I hope I haven't seen the wrong person. This is my good brother, Lu Ji, who is good at the art of woodwork. ”

Zhao Gou also held Lu Ji's hand and said three times in a row, "Okay!" ”。

The conspiracy group was initially established.

In a wind and rain pavilion fifty miles outside Cizhou City, Xiao Lu led the horse, and the cold wind was blowing in the hunting ground, even if he was wrapped in a turban, he still couldn't stop the biting cold.

In the distance, three figures stumbled from far to near, and the little white dragon raised his head and shouted, as if to remind Xiao Lu that a stranger was approaching.

It was his cousin, Yelu Daqi, and two of his subordinates, who were all injured.

"Cousin, are you alright?" Yelu Daqi asked with concern with his right hand and his left arm.

"I'm fine, just the three of you are back?"

"If they hadn't been desperately protective, I would have folded in. Cousin, did you kill Zhao Gou? ”

Xiao Lu hesitated for a moment and said, "No, someone left Zhao Gou at the critical moment." ”

Yelu Daqi said regretfully: "For the sake of the mountain, the success fell short, is this the will of heaven?" …… Forget it, let's think of something else. Cousin, how did you get out? ”

"Someone took me and Zhao Gou and me, and then released me. Because I'm not his target. ”

Yelu Daqi secretly said that it was good that you were not his target, and he muttered: "I don't know if this person is friend or foe......

"Cousin, I think we have gone the wrong way, now we have no territory and no manpower, so we can only secretly develop our strength first, accumulate thick and thin, and then slowly figure it out. You have royal blood, let's return to our hometown in the Xilamulun River and slowly accumulate strength. ”

Yelu Daqi said abruptly: "Perhaps, you are right. ”

The Jin army surrounded Bianliang from the North Road and the West Road, and Qu Ping persuaded Zhao Gou to temporarily avoid the limelight in the east. Qu Ping and Lu Ji still had five taels of silver left on them, but Zhao Gou didn't have a penny on them, he couldn't hire a carriage or buy a horse, so he had to rely on two feet to hurry.

Zhao Gou looked depressed and said: "If my father and brother suffer and teach the people of the world to know that I am fleeing from the battle, then how will I face the people of the world in the future." ”

Qu Ping said: "Your Highness, you are not running away, you are also a victim of the war, the people are ravaged by the war, and you are also needed to stand up at a critical moment to save the people of Li from fire and water, and rejuvenate the society from danger." ”

Zhao Gou sighed and said: "Besides, the future depends on you, if you can really do what you say, this king will allow you to go down to ten thousand people alone!" ”

"His Royal Highness is not for high-ranking officials, but for the reorganization of rivers and mountains and the revitalization of China!"

Zhao Gou listened to Qu Ping's words, reinvigorated his strength, and said: "Good, good, good sentence 'reorganize the rivers and mountains and revitalize China', this king will regain confidence from today onwards, work hard, and live up to the people!" ”

"Your Highness is good if you live up to yourself. I am not afraid of tens of millions of people blocking it, but I am afraid that I will surrender. ”

"Although there are tens of millions of people, I will go! Although this king has been clothed and fed since he was a child, he has traveled from place to place this year, knowing that the people are not easy, with broken houses, hungry people everywhere, and even corpses and bones blocking the way. Our Great Song Dynasty has gone through nine dynasties, emphasizing literature and suppressing military force, and today the military is weak abroad, and corruption and treachery are rampant at home. ”

As he was talking, suddenly a pair of men and horses hula-la-la, numbering about 1,800, more than 30 of them riding horses and leading the way, some with knives, guns and clubs, some with hoes, sickles and other farm tools, and some with bare hands.

The three of them did not know what to do and retreated to the side of the road. Qu Ping knew that Zhao Gou had a psychological shadow and protected him behind him. The man who led the man on the tall horse came to the three of them, waved his hand behind him without looking, and signaled the team to stop. Qu Ping looked at this person, in his thirties, with a bandit in his body, a circle of stubble around his mouth, and it seemed that he hadn't repaired it for more than ten days.

"Hey, you guys, keep up with the team, today I will go down to the mountain and Hu Chen Chong to do the way for you to do the way for the sky, first kill Liu Qing, a corrupt official and bully, confiscate his stolen money and goods, and relieve the poor people."

Qu Pingxin said, this person is so strange, and no matter who it is, he will pull people into the gang. "Who are you, no matter how bad the officials of the court are, they have to be managed by the court, are you going to rebel?"

A person next to him laughed and said: "The Jin army has besieged the capital, and it is estimated that it has been five days since the news reached the capital, and the world of the Great Song Dynasty may now be about to change its surname to Jin." ”

Zhao Gou chuckled in his heart, is it going to end so soon, in less than two hundred years, the Great Song Dynasty will die. Since ancient times, Cizhou has been a battleground for soldiers, because of the solid protection of Zongze, the Jin army could not break through, but I didn't expect that it had made a detour to besiege Bianjing.

Chen Chong, the tiger who went down the mountain, said again: "If you don't want to go with me, brothers, these three may be the doglegs of the imperial court, cut them off!" Today he took 500 brothers down the mountain, gathered the people on the road all the way, and brought such a large number of people, majestic.

Qu Ping thought to himself, if this person disagrees, he will cut people, and there is no doubt that he must be a mountain bandit. Later, if he really wants to kill someone, he will become a burden with two people. At this time, Lu Ji stepped forward and arched his hand: "I have heard the five tigers of Helan for a long time, and today I have to see the tigers of the lower mountain, and they are really heroic." The three of my brothers have also been bullied by Liu Qing, a corrupt official, for a long time, and the Jin army is approaching, so we simply hide eastward. Today, if Chen Daxia can redress our grievances, how can there be any reason for the parties to evade. ”

Chen Chong, the tiger who went down the mountain, said: "Okay, then follow behind." Take Liu Qing, the brothers have good food and drink. ”

A large crowd of people rushed towards the county seat, and thirty or forty people were constantly absorbed on the way. Even if there are those who don't want to go, but at the risk of killing their heads, no one dares to disobey.

The three of them were mixed in the middle of the team, and Lu Ji revealed to Qu Ping and Zhao Gou what he had heard about the Xiashan Tiger: "This Helan Five Tigers are the mountain tiger Qing Xuanzi Dao Chang of Helan Mountain, the earth-shaking tiger Jiang Boyan, the flying tiger Li Cailian, the smiling tiger Wang Zhiquan and the downhill tiger Chen Chong, the mountain tiger Qing Xuanzi Taoism is profound and good at demagoguery, the earth-shaking tiger Jiang Boyan has the power to pull out the mountain, and the foreign family is extraordinarily good at kung fu and invulnerable, although the flying tiger Li Cailian is a female streamer, but a light skill has entered the room, and the smiling tiger Wang Zhiquan is a copycat military advisor, Chen Chong, the tiger in the lower mountain, has a perverse personality and is easy to be impulsive, often as a pioneer to overcome obstacles, these five people are righteous Jinlan, in recent years, they have gathered in the Helan Mountain Tiger Roaring Mountain Forest, and often rob the house of corrupt officials and bullies, rob the rich and help the poor, and the reputation in the hearts of the surrounding people is not bad. ”

Zhao Gou said unevenly: "If you don't defend your family and defend the country when the country is in trouble, you go to attack your own state and county, what kind of hero is you." ”

The two ignored Zhao Gou, and Qu Ping said: "This matter can be big or small, if mountain bandits, thieves or people from all over the country follow suit and attack the county seat, then the enemy has not yet attacked us, and our internal will be full of holes." If it is simply to punish evil and promote good, it is debatable to use extraordinary means in extraordinary times. ”

More than 30 horsemen rushed to the city gate in advance, and the city guards shouted: "What are you doing? Chen Chong led the horse team to rush straight to the city gate to prevent the city guards from closing the city gate, and shouted: "The Helan Five Tigers came today to collect the corrupt official and bully Liu Qing for the people, if there is any obstruction, it will be severely punished!" ”

The soldiers defending the city were full of horror when they heard this, and hurriedly threw away their weapons and ran to report to the county master. Chen Chong did not chase either, ordered eight people to guard the city gate and wait for the large army, and then said to the people watching the excitement: "Today, everyone has grievances and revenge, and all the accounts are counted as our Helan Five Tigers." ”

The onlookers whispered to each other, but they didn't dare to say anything, the current situation is unknown, the county magistrate also has a group of people, if he sends someone to invite the rescue of Lord Zongze, Helan Wuhu can only run away.

About half an hour later, the rear army came in a noisy, and Chen Chong, the tiger who went down the mountain, still ordered the eight people to guard the city gate, and then led the troops to go towards the county government generously.

said that Liu Qing and his godson Liu Bao were drinking wine at home, each holding their concubines, listening to small songs, and they were so unhappy. Suddenly, the men reported that a large group of thieves had entered the city through the east gate and were about to arrive at the county office.

Lord Liu Qing lay lazily and said, "What's the panic, son, call the officials, soldiers, and your people, and see how many of their heads can be dropped." ”

Seeing that the master was not in a hurry, the person who reported below hurriedly said: "My lord, you add up to less than 200 people, but the other party is Helan Five Tigers, there are about 1,000 people!" ”

Liu Qing hurriedly sat up in a panic, and patted the case: "Liu Bao, hurry up and pack your things, I will take you and my wife from the north gate, you take someone to block it a little, buy us time to get out of the city, get to the north, take refuge in the Jin country, and let's start all over again!" After saying that, I immediately went to the backyard to pack my things.

Liu Bao thought in his heart, you are going to take my wife as a hostage. Thinking about it, he quickly waved his hand and ordered someone to call his subordinates. After a quarter of an hour, sixty or seventy people were gathered. Although this is not enough for the Helan Five Tigers, it is better than going to the mantis arm as a car single-handedly. Liu Qing had already taken his wife and children and gold and silver treasures to the north gate, and Liu Bao hurriedly led people to chase after the north gate, for fear that he would be eaten alone by Chen Chong in the back.

The robbers didn't even vomit the dregs after eating them.
