In fact, when Cao Meng came, he also carefully discussed the matter of a gust of wind with Lu Shi, after all, this gust of wind is a family of bandits, deep-rooted, and there are several generations of loyal subordinates, the strength cannot be underestimated, and he is waiting for the new arrival in Mizhi, as the so-called strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, in case he does not obey, it will take a lot of trouble to destroy him, especially now that all the energy of the army must be focused on anti-encirclement and suppression, and it is not possible to make too many enemies, one more ally will have more strength, and the most reluctant thing is that he will not take advantage of the danger of others to fall into the ground, so it is still mainly to fight, If it really doesn't work, I can only put it down and talk about it later.

"So the kid came to my brother, hoping that my brother could understand the thoughts of the brothers in Heihuzhai and reserve a bit of vitality for the world, so I asked the old brother to take care of the landlords and gentry who had promised to pay protection money, as well as the people on that land." At that moment, Cao Meng picked up the wine glass with both hands and said in a proper manner.

A gust of wind laughed; "Okay, good, your king not only has the talent of the heavens and the earth, but also the bodhisattva heart of compassion, and other people are the difference between heaven and earth, just rely on this old brother should also help, according to it, the black tiger village I have a feeling of help for the old brother, and I should also fully support your brother's good deeds and policies, but my cottage is also up and down tens of thousands of people have to eat and drink, we are poles, that is, to live by looting, so the old brother has difficulties."

Cao Meng laughed when he heard this, this is a good start, I am not afraid that the other party will not mention the conditions, as long as the other party puts forward the conditions, it is not that it cannot be discussed, but the conditions are high and low.

When the road is on; "The king of my family knows the difficulties of my elder brother, so he specially instructed me, since we have collected other people's protection money, we should also give other brothers and seniors some benefits to live, so that everyone is better, the so-called sharing of weal and woe is the real brother, so I specially ordered the kid to discuss with my brother, how about this? My army and the old camp of Huluyu also have a little accumulation of output, how about we take out a thousand stone of grain every year, plus 5,000 taels of silver to supplement the old brother? The old brother doesn't intrude on Ganquan, but is there any other place to do business? ”

In fact, as a family of robbers, a gust of wind does secretly operate some shops in various places, one is to sell stolen goods, and the other is to have an income. It doesn't have to be taken by this sweet spring, or the landlord's fortress is not easy to fight, and it is not interesting to attack the small people, not to mention that the old robber also adheres to the rule that rabbits do not eat the grass next to the nest, and he has never plundered this sweet spring too much, but this army is sent to the door, and if he does not cut a knife, he is not an old treacherous and cunning personality that does not stick to the mud.

"It is said that the brothers also have a lot of intentions, and the elder brother has no contribution here, but the grain of a thousand stones is really a drop in the bucket for our huge cottage, and it is not easy to explain to the cottage if it is not squeezed into anything." A gust of wind arrived with a sad face.

At the same time, the two sides also agreed that a gust of wind would not loot all over Ganquan, and at the same time, they should also give early warning to the base area at the first time, and when the invading army was attacked, they could try their best to give the enemy appropriate harassment, and at the same time, if a gust of wind was attacked, the invading army would not stand idly by, but also help each other.

This is a happy ending, originally Lu Shi meant 5,000 stone of grain and 15,000 silver as conditions, and now the base area will be self-sufficient this year, Lu Shi has opened up the way of arms trading, and the silver will no longer be nervous, this can be done, but after Cao Meng's unhurried bargaining, he got such a result, so he agreed, and the two sides high-fived as an oath and drank the alliance wine.

During this period, Cao Meng talked about the effectiveness of the construction of Huluyu, and praised the whimsy of King Chuang, of course, the development of military and military weapons, of course, it was not mentioned, but these have made a gust of wind open his mouth wide and surprised, and at the same time envious, especially for the windmill and the method of terraces.

This gust of wind has also reclaimed a lot of fields in front of and behind the mountain, and the family members of the cottage usually cultivate and sow seeds, plant some fruits, vegetables and grains to supplement the cottage, but most of the fields reclaimed are sloping land, and they can only rely on the sky to eat and produce little, but after listening to Mencius's statement, a gust of wind brightened their eyes at that time.

In fact, whether you are a prince or a bandit robber, the Chinese are still farmers in their bones, and they are particularly sensitive to the land and things on the land, if you can use the method of terraces to change the slope land into flat land, and use that windmill to lift water for irrigation, it is really a prospect of unlimited prospects, and immediately proposed to buy a windmill with all the 10,000 taels of silver promised by the Black Tiger Village, and hoped that the base would send a good hand who can build terraces to guide his own people to transform the land and build terraces, and Cao Meng readily agreed at the moment.

The matter of buying and selling windmills was already unwanted, and as for the matter of a gust of wind trying to buy some more sabers and spears, Cao Meng pushed it over with the reason that it was a big matter and needed to discuss with King Chuang.

After talking about these things, the matter naturally came to the matter of Zhang Yuan uniting the local health stations to jointly encircle and suppress the base area, looking at Cao Meng, who was full of care, a gust of wind was not without worry; "Brother Cao, this time Li Yuanhao and Zhang Yuan's joint attack on the guards of Ganquan and Luochuan, about more than 10,000 soldiers, this is a major event that we have not had in this past year, and this 10,000 soldiers are still that Zhang Yuan took his own furniture, as well as the funding of his fellow villagers from all over the country, it is really a complete tent with excellent weapons, not comparable to the long-abandoned guard bear soldiers, and Li Yuanhao has been on the battlefield for a long time and is known as ten thousand enemies, and the 1,000 families under his command are also the rest of his life who fought with the old nose war with Mongolia, If you add the governor and the capital to allocate some border soldiers, I will see ------" showed deep worry on his face, after all, he was already an ally, especially if he was funded by an ally, he still knew the truth of both prosperity and loss.

"Hahaha, thank you for caring about me here." Cao Meng first laughed and thanked for a gust of wind, and then changed his words and said confidently; "My brother only knows one thing, but he doesn't know the other."

"What did my brother say?"

"According to my cottage news, that Zhang Yuan has recruited more than 3,000 villagers among the homeless people for more than three months, but as far as that group of villagers who have never seen blood at all are concerned, they can't be elite soldiers.

This is not a gust of wind nodded in agreement, the original nameless Woniu Mountain only in just over three months, after breaking through thousands of miles, became the most powerful force in the vicinity, even a bandit family like himself has to look up to people to look at people's faces, it can be seen that Lu Shi's training method is indeed magical, but I don't know how to achieve it.

"There is also the guard of Ganquan and Luochuan, just those seven hundred soldiers ran back to the city like rabbits before they met me, and since then they have become a shrunken turtle who has no courage to go out of the city, and let us hundreds of people do whatever they want outside his tortoise shell to show off their might, can my brother see that such a guard can still succeed?"

"That is." A gust of wind nodded repeatedly. This Ganquan Guard really can't be counted.

"Then there is the guard of Naluochuan, needless to say, the night before yesterday, the supervisor sergeant of my village has come to report quickly, and the commander of my family has wiped out all those pickled goods in a charge the afternoon before yesterday, and only a dozen officers have been spared, that is still my family Chuang Wang in order not to overly stimulate the government to spare their lives, think about this time those dog officials are in a panic all day, ask God to worship the Buddha to bless our army and not go to his trouble, how dare they find us trouble?"

Oh my God, I couldn't help but take a deep breath of cold air without getting wet, what kind of gap is this.

Before he finished sighing, he heard Cao Meng continue, "Then it's Li Yuanhao, according to our cottage, this time there are only 1,000 soldiers from his own headquarters, and there is no border soldier entourage at all. Just a horse, personal bravery on the battlefield, among thousands of troops, it is useless, all the battles without dying are his subordinates loyal and brave to protect him, and the protection of his left and right is good, so that he can fight without distraction, even if you count down which battle is not the most casualty in his own department? What does this mean? It shows that Li Yuanhao's survival until now is the result of relying on his brute force and his headquarters to fight to the death, otherwise he doesn't know how many times he has died. ”

A gust of wind also paid attention to Li Yuanhao, of course he knew his experience, and now that he thinks about it, it is really like this, the same few officials went to war, and the heaviest casualties were really his Li Yuanhao headquarters.

"Besides, it was originally under the leadership of the superiors who could be dispatched from time to time, but this time, it was necessary for an arrogant and reckless man who could only fight to command the battle formation of the brigade, wouldn't it be a serious misuse of personnel? From what he said in the past, he wished that he would not have colleagues to share the merits, and he would enjoy the great merit of suppressing bandits alone, and remove the subwords on his head for many years. Therefore, a person like him can command 4,000 men and horses to exert the efficiency of a thousand soldiers, and those auxiliary village warriors who have just put down the dog-beating stick will become a burden to him, so that his own personal soldiers cannot play their full effectiveness at all, how can they be undefeated? ”

A gust of wind saw that Cao Meng knew Li Yuanhao in such detail, and he really admired the five-body throw.

"Moreover, Yan'an is more than 300 miles away from the base area, and the labor division expedition is mixed with foot and cavalry, coupled with Li Yuanhao's arrogance and arrogance, and his meritorious service must be out of touch after the dispatch is lost, and I am not afraid that my brother will know that our king has already had a perfect strategy, and I can't say that Li Yuanhao has already returned defeated before he saw the peak of our Black Tiger Village."

A gust of wind nodded again and again, but suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but hurriedly say: "Brother Cao, you have been here for four days, and Li Yuanhao has not passed through Ganquan, I am afraid that the pickled goods have gone to Nanniwan through the trapped Dragon Valley and went directly to the Black Tiger Village, then Brother Cao should immediately return to the army to join your family to fight against the official army, and you can't delay time here." ”

Cao Meng couldn't help but laugh when he heard this; "Brother, but don't care about drinking with the kid, when I came, King Chuang only arranged for me to implement the policy of rent reduction and interest reduction in this Ganquan countryside, and don't care about anything else, so as long as I do this well, everything will be fine."

"You're not afraid to ---------- in case"

"I will win if I break through the king." Cao Meng threw up a bowl and killed it, saying with confidence on his face.

Cao Meng's self-confidence gave a gust of wind strong confidence, and he was secretly happy that he could get such strong help in this troubled world, so the two began to push the cup and change the lamp to drink happily, until it was dark before they dispersed with their own satisfaction.

In this way, the Black Tiger Village has a real reinforcement.
