After a while, Xu Jiayun walked into the meeting hall with more than 20 people. These people who came in were all leaders at or above the regimental level who stayed at the Duxiu Mountain Division Headquarters. Including Deng Tianfeng, deputy chief of staff of the division headquarters, Yue did not return; Meng Peng, chief of the division guard; Rong Ya, Zhu Zhijie, deputy chief of the division headquarters; Chen Xiaoyan, deputy commander of the Fourth Brigade; Xu Jiayun, Chief of Staff of the Fourth Brigade; Yu Yang, commander of the 3rd Regiment of the 9th Brigade; Commander of the 4th Regiment of the 13th Brigade Shou Tong. There are also a number of deputy regiment-level members, including Su Xiaoxue, deputy head of the Eighth Regiment.

Luo Yunxiao saw that everyone had arrived, and motioned for everyone to stop talking. When no one spoke on the field, Luo Yunxiao said: "This is the master of Hu Tang from the demon village of Qimen County, she just conveyed to Luo the word of the master of their demon village, asking our new editor of Duxiu Mountain to join their demon village. What a big deal at stake! Luo didn't dare to make his own decisions, so he asked everyone to come together to discuss it, as long as there are more than half of the people who agree, we will merge with them. So be it! Everyone should raise their hands to vote, and those who are in favor of the merger are invited to raise their hands! ”

After a long time, it was exactly the same as Luo Yunxiao's prediction, and no one raised their hands in agreement. Hu Mei knew that she was completely planted today, so she looked frustrated and helpless. And she saw that Luo Yunxiao at this time had already shown a smile on her face, and said quite tactfully: "For the sake of fairness, we have to raise our hands again, this time if you don't agree with the merger, please raise your hand!" ”

"Huh!" "Huh!" "Huh!" "Huh!" "Huh!" The crowd raised their hands without hesitation. Except for Luo Yunxiao and Hu Mei, all of them raised their hands to express their opposition.

Luo Yunxiao smiled and said to the unhappy Hu Mei: "Hall Master Hu, have you seen it?" It's not that Luo wants to thin the face of you and your Changzhai master. It's that all of us don't intend to merge with you. There is no way to do this, please go back and tell you the master of Chang Zhai, and ask her to find another master! Our Duxiu Mountain is by no means a dish on the plate of your demon village. ”

Hu Mei also knows at this moment that this situation is irreparable. She said unwillingly: "Master Luo, you have to do it yourself!" In fact, not only our Demon Village is eyeing Duxiu Mountain, but there are several powerful gangs in the entire Jiaozhou County who are staring at you. As the saying goes, the rafters decay before they emerge, who let you develop so quickly! The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. On this river and lake, it has always been whipped fast cattle. In fact, letting you merge with our demon village is also out of a kind of protection for you. But you don't appreciate it. Alas, forget it. That's where we come to be. This girl took her leave. ”

From that Hu Mei's words, the amount of information is still quite large. It seems that he is leading the pace of development of Duxiu Mountain, it seems that he is going a little too fast, prompting some very restless gang organizations to covet and covet, they are actually the same virtue as Qingyin Mountain, seeing your home full of spring, peach blossoms, I want to go down the mountain to pick peaches.

Luo Yunxiao knows very clearly that in order to stand firmly on this river and lake, not only must he be strong, but also have a number of strong and powerful allies to help. At present, although the Duxiu Mountain Mighty Warrior and the Five Colors Valley are nominally allies. But the five-color valley basically will not participate in the fight and killing on the rivers and lakes, and the grievances and hatreds come from right and wrong. Therefore, the Valley of the Five Colors is only an ally in a symbolic sense. Just like a beautiful goddess, she can only be seen from afar, not blasphemed!

Since the Five Colors Valley can't be counted on, then only from other sects, find one or two gangs with similar strength, the same philosophy, and can trust each other and treat each other with all sincerity, so as to establish an unbreakable alliance.

According to the various information transmitted back by Duxiu Mountain's powerful intelligence system, among the top ten gangs in the entire Jiaozhou County, in addition to the Five Colors Valley, there are also Moonlight Island in Zuofeng County, which ranks fifth, and Qingfeng Village, which ranks 8th, Qimen County. These two gangs often do good things, such as opening warehouses to release grain and relieving people during famines; For another example, it will help the people punish some landlords and old wealth, local evil forces, and so on! It can also be regarded as a small number of gang organizations in the Eastern Jin Dynasty that can stand out for the toiling masses and have a certain sense of justice.

Of course, Luo Yunxiao also got some news that was unfavorable to his side, including many small sects like Qingyin Mountain and Demon Er Village, which have recently made some moves, which may be unfavorable to the new editor of Duxiu Mountain; Among the top ten gangs in Jiaozhou County, there are at least 3 or more gangs that are ready to move. It can be determined that there is a Tianyou Village that ranks 3rd in Qimen; Wujingzhuang in Ximang County, ranked 4th, and Wolongmen, which also belongs to Jinyang County, ranked 9th. These gangs are all waiting for an opportune time, ready to make a move on Duxiu Mountain when the time comes.

Luo Yunxiao plans to fill up the soldiers of the two independent brigades on the one hand after the summer grain is harvested this time, so that the final number of men and horses will reach about 25,000; Form a group with 3,500 state soldiers, 6,000 government soldiers, 10,000 county soldiers, 5,500 township soldiers, and a total combat power of 300,000 {including generals at all levels} points of the middle and lower gangs, at least there are few opponents in Jiaozhou County.

On the other hand, he is ready to actively negotiate cooperation with Moonlight Island and Qingfeng Village, and can become allies with them in the shortest possible time. In this way, with the support of their own men and horses and foreign aid, they will no longer be afraid of several major gangs joining forces, which will enable them to gain an invincible position.

So let's go back and talk about Mo Xinyue, the big boss of Qingyin Mountain who is entrenched in the Ximang camp. He looked forward to the stars, the moon, and finally looked forward to the moment when the rice was ripe, and he couldn't wait to command all the more than 2,000 soldiers under his command to go to the fields to harvest the ripe rice. According to the amount of one mu harvested per person per day, there are more than 24,000 acres of rice fields around the camp in Simang, so it will take about 12 days to complete the harvest.

However, due to the urgency of Mo Xinyue's urging, those soldiers were forced to speed up the harvest. As a result, 22,800 acres of paddy fields were harvested in just nine days. By the tenth day, only 1,400 acres of paddy fields had not yet been harvested. If the pace is accelerated, it is estimated that the harvest will be completed before the sun goes down on this day.

When harvesting rice, Mo Xinyue also discovered an extremely strange phenomenon, that is, he saw that the harvested rice was several times more than before. He planted more than 30,000 acres of fields on Qingyin Mountain, and the number after harvest at that time seemed to be less than a quarter of what it is now. What kind of situation is this, are you dazzled? He just kept it in mind and didn't say anything about it.
