Chapter 247: Daoist Wei
Bean Gang.
After killing Brigade Marshal Wang, the military discipline of the soldiers really re-established.
After breaking through this stockade, the harvest is even more gratifying. As a market village for Liu Badao to trade and sell salt, there is a large amount of salt and money here, and even a lot of weapons and horses are stored.
The prince who joined the army held a scroll and was very excited to report the harvest with Luo Cheng.
"There are more than 1,000 stones of salt alone, in addition to more than 3,000 stones of grain, there are more than 100 iron kettles for boiling salt, more than 100 horses and mules for transporting salt, in addition to hundreds of knives and guns of all kinds, more than 20 pieces of armor, more than 50 bows and crossbows, and thousands of arrows. In addition, there are about 1,000 copper coins, more than 3,000 pieces of silk, and a lot of gold and silver. There are also more than 1,000 head of livestock, in addition to more than 500 salt people who fled from their homes, more than 100 captured bandits, and more than 70 beheaded, a great harvest. ”
When Luo Cheng heard this, his eyes couldn't help but shine.
This Liu Badao is really rich. When people are thieves, they are all poor and can't open the pot, but when he is a thief, he is rich and oily. Sure enough, the production of salt and the sale of salt were as profitable as drug trafficking in ancient times, especially after Liu Badao seized the entire Douzigang and monopolized the salt production and salt sales here, he made a lot of money every day.
"What about so much salt?"
"Organize the captured bandits and captured fugitives, and let them transport the seized salt, grain, money, and silk back to the Antler Pass."
"With so many things, wouldn't it be cheaper for them to send them to Antler Pass?" Old four roads.
"According to the agreement, the income from the bandits is ours, and the money, grain, livestock, horses, mules, etc. are all ours, of course, the captives will be handed over to Liu Zhen in exchange for money and grain, they want to take advantage of it, but we always have to let others drink some soup when we eat meat, and eating alone will not lead to good results." Luo Cheng didn't want to monopolize all the benefits, after all, even if Wang Lvshuai was cut down by him, they also represented the Antlers Pass.
Deep in Bean Gang.
Uncle thief Liu Badao held a jujube nail lance, swept left and right, and knocked down the two swords, guns, swords, and halberds on the weapon rack, but still couldn't vent the anger in his heart.
"Zhangqiu Luocheng, I will grass your ancestor."
It is true that people sit at home, and woe comes from heaven.
Originally, he Liu was domineering and monopolized Douzigang, and he had accumulated tens of thousands of horses here, monopolizing the benefits of making salt and selling salt in Douzigang, and his life was free, and even the town soldiers at Antler Pass on the side were trembling.
But now, a passing Luo Cheng swept several of his stockades in a row.
Fifty here, one hundred and two hundred there, he broke more than a thousand of his subordinates in a blink of an eye, not to mention the destruction of several salt mills and salt villages, and the loss of salt storage was nearly 3,000 stones, not to mention the tens of thousands of stones of grain accumulated everywhere, thousands of dollars of money and silk were all gone, and thousands of fugitives who cooked salt for him were also arrested.
The uncle can bear it, and the aunt can't bear it either.
These are all family inheritances that he has worked so hard to accumulate.
Even if the money and grain are easy to come by, and the salt sellers are profitable, they can't withstand such a toss.
Besides, if he only lost some money, he wouldn't be so angry, the key is that this Luo Cheng is basically going to destroy his foundation, and he has no intention of stopping at all.
"The big boss, I have inquired clearly, this Luo Cheng was invited by General Liu Zhen when he passed through the Antler Pass. They made an appointment to enter the bean hill, and all the proceeds of the seizure belonged to Luo Cheng, and our brothers and salt people could take them and exchange money and grain with him. This surnamed Luo became his thug. ”
"Grass!"
Liu Badao was furious.
"Send me an order, gather all the brothers, let's destroy this Luo Cheng."
"No."
A young Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe holding a dust whisk in his hand and holding a Taoist robe shook his head in disagreement.
"Although this Luo Chengbing is not more than a thousand, he can break down many of my villages in just a few days, and every time it is a pot, and he hasn't even run out to report the news, what does this mean? It shows that the name of Qiu Baihu in this chapter is not in vain. ”
"Wei Lao Dao, you don't have the prestige of others." A strong man said.
"No, no, no, the old way is not long, he Luo Cheng is majestic, and he will destroy the ambition of Liu's family. But Luo Cheng only went deep into Douzigang with only a few hundred people, but it was like entering a no-man's land, attacking the village all the way, no one could stop him, no one could escape, didn't this explain the problem? Luo Cheng is a tiger with his head down the mountain, and his edge is flourishing. ”
Liu Badao said angrily, "Could it be that Lao Tzu still has to avoid him, so that the foundation that Lao Tzu has worked so hard to lay will not be handed over?" ”
The Taoist priest surnamed Wei said, "Actually, what Liu Dangjia said is a very good way, although this Luo Cheng is fierce, but he is just a passing tiger after all, as far as I know, he was ordered by the Ministry of War to take 600 soldiers from Zhangqiu Changbai Mansion to Zhuo County to go north to conquer Liaodong." Since he was passing through, it was impossible for him to stay here for a long time. He also had to arrive in Zhuojun in a hurry, and if he missed the date, he would also be dealt with by military law. Therefore, as long as Manager Liu gives the order to let the people and horses of each village temporarily avoid Luo Cheng, then it won't be long before Luo Cheng can only withdraw, and it is impossible to really spend it here with us. ”
"The surname is Wei, what kind of nonsense are you talking about, our uncle and thief are known as more than 10,000, do you have to be scared by Luo Cheng 600 people to hide everywhere, so how will we mix in this river and lake in the future?"
Wei Daoshi laughed and said, "Don't say that the gossip is ugly, although you claim to be more than 10,000, you are only a claim." Luo Cheng's six hundred soldiers, but it is a real fight, and the group of prisoners and soldiers in the non-Antler Pass are useless, that is the real elite, in Henan, they exterminated the bandits in Changbai Mountain, and destroyed the group of thieves in Dayozawa, although they are passing by now, but they really want to fight, the uncle and thief may not really fight, even if they win, if they fight all the money into it, what is the cost-effective? ”
"I don't believe it." Liu Badao was indignant and couldn't listen to Daoist Wei's words at all.
"Master Liu, Xiaodao advises you not to be rash, if you don't let Xiaodao go and meet Luo Cheng, maybe you can persuade him to withdraw his troops."
Liu Badao frowned, "How could Luo Cheng listen to your words and withdraw his troops?" ”
"A few words will definitely not work, if Liu Da can agree to my conditions, it may be done."
"On what terms?"
"Prepare a gift for Luo Cheng, and then let him retire?"
Liu Badao laughed angrily, and he still wants to give Luo Cheng a gift?
"What gifts?"
"The gift can't be less, otherwise Luo Cheng won't be moved, but it doesn't need too much, it's better to give Luo Cheng three hundred taels of gold, and then give Luo Cheng a hundred horses, plus Xiaodao's three-inch tongue, it will definitely show that he has withdrawn."
"Impossible, why did Lao Tzu give Luo Cheng three hundred taels of gold and a hundred horses?" This is a lot of money, no matter how rich Liu is, he is not so generous.
"Don't say it, it's impossible for Lao Tzu to send money to Luo Cheng, come here, send Wei Daoshi for me, and give him ten taels of gold to wrap up." Liu Badao originally admired this young Taoist priest surnamed Wei, and felt that this restless Taoist priest was quite talented, but now he was extremely disappointed and was unwilling to keep him.
"Hurry up and inform Li Deyi and Ge Qian, the two masters, and let them gather their brothers, Lao Tzu is going to destroy Luo Cheng!"
Seeing that Liu Badao couldn't listen to his opinion at all, Daoist Wei could only smile helplessly.
Out of Liu Badao's gathering hall, after taking the ten taels of gold, Wei Daoshi rode on a donkey and left.
Some of them rode aimlessly on donkeys to the north, preparing to return to their hometowns, but not long after they rode out, they were surrounded by several horses that suddenly appeared.
Looking at their ill-intentioned appearances, especially the leather armor on their bodies, Daoist Wei's eyes rolled, "A few of them should be Luo Sima's scout light horsemen, just right, I'm going to meet Luo Sima, please lead the way for me!" ”
