Chapter 39: Collusion

"Hold the plate, this time we have suffered too much loss, we can't just forget what we say! The little one heard that the Xingtian Army had already conquered Yongning County, and in the house of Zhu Cai, the king of Wan'an, they had raised hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, not to mention the grain, which was piled up like a mountain! You can't let them take advantage of this cheapness! We're going to have to get some face back! One of his leaders followed Itoya around the mountain pass and pouted to Itoya.

Yidougu stood on a big rock, looked at the winding mountain path in the distance, and scolded with a blue face: "How to get back face? Crossing the Ocean River, weren't we beaten badly enough? Half of the men and horses have been lost, and they are now blocked outside the mountain, can we be their opponents when we go out? ”

"They're always going to go! Could it be that they can still occupy this Yongning County and never leave? When they're gone, how about we go out and follow them to catch them? The minion boss said to Itoya.

"Fart, haven't you heard? After this group of Xingtian troops occupied Yongning County, they began to sweep around the county, and after Wang Bacheng from Luoyang led the troops to Yiyang County, he was unable to move forward! And just now I heard that this Xingtian Army is divided into fields and lands in Yongning County, and they are so happy that they don't plan to leave at all! Moreover, in the past two days, they have been increasing troops to this side, and it seems that they have no intention of leaving us a chance at all! Itoya viciously scolded this guy against his subordinates.

At this time, a minion ran over in a panic and said to Yidougu: "Palm the plate, Ma Junshi just asked the small one to come and invite the big palm plate to hurry back to the mountain temple!" Said that there is an urgent matter to discuss with the palm of the plate! ”

Yidougu nodded and said to the leader who was following him: "You give Lao Tzu a good look at the mountain pass, and you can't let the people of the Xingtian Army break in, otherwise Lao Tzu is the only one who asks!" ”

When Itogu returned to the mountain temple, a guy wearing a nondescript Taoist robe immediately walked out, caught Itogu and said to him: "Hold the plate, I'm afraid it's a big deal!" Just now, the brothers outside the mountain brought back the news that the Xingtian Army had given us an ultimatum, asking our people to go down the mountain and surrender, saying that anyone who only went down the mountain and surrendered would not be guilty of the past, and after registering the household registration, they could divide the land to our people, and now the news has spread in the mountain, and many people have already been tempted, and more than 200 people ran out of the mountain in one night last night. ”

Ichito Gu was shocked when he heard this, and immediately asked, "Who brought the news back?" How did you know until now? ”

The thin man known as Ma Junshi shook his head and said: "At first, the day before yesterday, dozens of brothers who were scattered in the Duyang River came back from outside the mountain, and they didn't expect them to bring back this news, so they arranged them all to various places in the mountain, and it was these people who brought this news to the mountain, and after the subordinates knew about it just now, they sent people to arrest them, but these guys ran away last night, and took away a lot of people, and now our people in the mountain are panicked, and if it goes on like this, I'm afraid that people's hearts will be scattered!" So the subordinates didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly sent someone to invite the palm to come back to discuss this matter! ”

Yidou Gu was angry and kicked a table of eight immortals to the ground, and the plates and bowls on the table were clanging: "Mother, I have no grudge against this surnamed Xiao in Yidougu, they came here to smash Lao Tzu's rice bowl, they ate alone, and killed so many of our brothers in the Duyang River, now it's good, I still want to draw salary from the bottom of the kettle, and bring down Lao Tzu, this revenge does not avenge Lao Tzu and swears not to be a person!"

If it doesn't work, Lao Tzu will take people down to fight with them, he won't let Lao Tzu stay here, and Lao Tzu won't let them live in peace! ”

"Hold the plate, you can't do it! It's not that we haven't suffered losses before, and we can't afford to fight to the death with this Xingtian Army here, let's make it clear that we are not the opponent of the Xingtian Army, and if we act rashly for the moment, we will definitely suffer a big loss! Since Xingtianjun's surname Xiao has made up his mind to occupy this Yongning County, Henan is so big, where can't we go? Do you have to fight them here? It's not worth it! It's better not to be rash in charge of the plate! "That so-called Ma Junshi is a relatively smart person after all, and he immediately stopped Yi Dougu, who was about to go crazy.

Yidou Gu trembled angrily, stared at the bull's eye and asked this Ma Junshi, "Then can I swallow this breath like this?" They are now riding on Lao Tzu's head to, and Lao Tzu is opening his mouth so that they can't pull it? ”

This Ma Junshi shook his head and said: "There is a way that a big man can bend and stretch, and a good man will not suffer the loss in front of him!" This revenge does not mean that it will not be avenged! But the time is not right now, we can't fight to the death with them! There is a way for my subordinates, I don't know if the palm is willing to listen to it! ”

Yi Dou Gu forcibly suppressed his anger and asked him: "If there is any good way for the military advisor, you might as well hurry up, as long as you can avenge this arrow, you can do anything!" ”

This Ma Junshi shook his head and leaned into Yidougu's ear, and whispered to Yidougu for a while, Yidougu suddenly widened his bull's eyes, and said angrily to him: "You said let Lao Tzu go to find a clay pot?" How can this be done? ”

This Ma Junshi shook his head and said, "Why can't it be done?" The subordinates also know that they don't deal with the plate and the crockpot, but now since we are not the opponent of the Punishment Heavenly Army, then we might as well unite with the crockpot to deal with them first, after all, they are all outsiders, and it is not good for them to sit here to sit big here, and now the government will definitely send troops to suppress them, so we will give them a guy behind the back with the crockpot, won't this revenge be avenged? ”

After pondering for a while, Yidougu lowered his head and gritted his teeth and said: "This is the only way to go, let's go find a crockpot, they won't let us live here, and we can't make them too comfortable!" This western Yuxi is our territory, and they can't be arrogant! ……”

Three days later, Yidou Valley, which was entrenched in Dafang Mountain, gave an order, and all the troops under his command packed up and began to withdraw from the Dafang Mountain area, heading towards Lushi County, but by this time, Yidou Gu's men had only run away for a few days, and they had run away more than half of the miner, and the remaining troops were only less than 2,000 people.

Xiao Tianjian, who was in the camp of the Xingtian Army outside Yongning County, heard the news from Situ Liang, and said to Situ Liang with a sneer: "Let them go!" Send someone to keep an eye on them to see where they are going, and the crockpot entrenched on the side of Niuxin Mountain has already contacted them? ”

Situ Liang nodded and said: "The humble position has already sent someone to follow, looking at the posture, Yidou Gu has given up Dafang Mountain this time and wants to go to the Lu family!" I guess I want to go to the crockpot guys!

As for the clay pot side, the lowly post has sent someone over, and the general's handwritten letter has also sent someone to bring it over, but there is no news yet, but don't hide it from the general, the lowly post thinks that this time we deal with Yidougu like this, is it a bit of a bit of a trick, after all, they are famous in the western part of Henan, and they are also well-known snakes in this area, we first came here, and they tore their faces, will it be because of this, let these bandits and thieves around them gang up to deal with us? ”

Xiao Tianjian was not angry at Situ Liang's outspokenness, stood up and said with a smile: "This time it seems that I have done a little too much, but the reason why I did this is also a last resort!"

There are so many forces like Yidougu in Henan, we are here, and it is indeed a bit too hasty to offend them, but if I don't do this, forces like him will not be honest, we are now just because we have just arrived, we are more eager to occupy a base that belongs to us, if I am polite to them, they will feel that we rely on them, and they will not be polite to us, with such a force as them, we will not be able to push our affairs forward!

At best, these people are just a bunch of unambitious thieves, they only know how to destroy, whether it is for the common people or the rich, they will do nothing but rob, keeping them in this area, it is just an unstable factor, rather than turning against them in the future, it is better to take this opportunity to directly expel them from our control area, and return the local people a stable life!

As for whether they will form a gang to deal with us, I have also considered this matter, if they want to do this, then let them come over, the people naturally have a rod and scale in their hearts, who is good to them, they will measure themselves, if they want to deal with us, they must first ask the people if they agree, I will not be polite to them because of this!

You have worked hard here for a while, help me keep an eye on the two forces of Yidougu and Clay Jar, we have not yet been able to control the west of Yongning County, if they want to go against us, don't be polite to them, send an order to Liu Yaoben's gang, they can disarm the side of the Yang River, order them to gather their forces, go up along the Luo River to the west, and give me the two townships of Madian and Changshui, if the crockpot is not interesting, gather together with Yidougu, if you want to be unfavorable to us, don't be polite to them, Shut them up in the mountains for me, and I won't let them out to do evil. ”

Situ Liang immediately replied with his legs and chest: "The last general obeys the order!" I've already sent someone to keep an eye on them over there, and a few capable brothers from Itogu's original subordinates have been sent to Niuxin Mountain, and if they take action, the last general will definitely find out soon! ”

Xiao Tianjian nodded and asked Situ Liang to go down to do something, and turned his head to Luo Yingjie and said: "The matter of dividing the fields in various places should be accelerated, I have a hunch that there may be a big war coming in the near future, you have to hurry up here!" In addition, the township soldiers of each township should also be organized as soon as possible in the near future, as for the security chief, I have already sent someone to inform Shi Ran, he will send a group of people over from Shanxi in the near future, and I have arranged for someone to go to Mianchi to meet them! You're going to have to work harder for all the things here! ”

Luo Yingjie hurriedly stood up and replied: "Please rest assured, these people dare not be lazy, the matter of dividing the land has now been rolled out in the townships, and the people are very welcome, plus the townships have set up porridge sheds to help the victims, in recent days, more and more displaced people have poured into the Yongning area, as for the fields, there are thousands of hectares of fertile land in the name of King Wan'an alone, plus the newly laid down large Zhuangzi and the family fields of the officials, it is enough to arrange them!" ”

Xiao Tianjian nodded and said, "You have been following me for a long time, and I am naturally relieved to do things!" What to do, you have been following Mr. Fu for a few days, so you are naturally familiar with the road, and you will have to take on many things here in Henan in the future! As for your hard work, I understand it, do it well! ”

Luo Yingjie was excited after hearing this, speaking of which he followed Xiao Tianjian earlier than Fu Deming, but he knew that his ability was limited, and he was not as good as Fu Deming in many aspects, so in the past two or three years, he has been working under Fu Deming in a down-to-earth manner, and he has learned a lot of things in the past two years, this time Xiao Tianjian went south to Henan, and Fu Deming ordered him to lead the team to follow Xiao Tianjian to Henan to do things, after listening to Xiao Tianjian's words today, Luo Yingjie also knew that he would become Xiao Tianjian's most important subordinate in the future. Although he is not as good as those generals for the time being, as his territory expands, he will become a major member in civil affairs.

So he immediately nodded and received the order, and promised again and again that he would do things well and never let down Xiao Tianjian's respect for him.
