Caozhou Mansion once produced a lot of green forest heroes, and with the collapse of the times, the original heroic Shandong Hans, in desperation, have also risen up one after another, inheriting the will of their ancestors to start a business.

In the territory of Caozhou, it was originally the natural Guze, which is the confluence of Jishui and Surabaya, where the waterways are dense and the swamps are innumerable, and it is the complex environment that the mountains and wild green forests like the most.

It is said that there are many stories in the world about the one hundred and eight heroes of the Water Margin, Shuibo Liangshan, and the place where it happened is here.

Therefore, when Bai Yushan received the order from the base camp, he pretended to be separated from Li Zi's headquarters and could not return to the team, and then came here with a team of six or seven thousand people and settled down among the mountains.

Compared with the local green forest heroes, Bai Yushan not only has a great advantage in the size of the team, but also their strength and battle are too much higher than these rabble.

Without much effort, Baiyushan and they settled down on Liangshan between Caozhou and Puyang.

That's right, there is really a Liangshan Mountain in Caozhou, and its background and topography are also similar to the words of the Water Margin that circulated in the streets.

For the general green forest heroes, Baiyushan is not soft, the collection of the collection, the bad deeds are directly eradicated, for a time the Liangshan surrounding dozens of miles combed clearly, but also many down the mountain to develop reclamation and fishing and hunting.

As long as these people do not take trouble to attack the county government and the city, then the government should not have these people, so they can harass the people among the people.

In fact, the government also has its own troubles, although it has the duty to defend the territory, but the strength in its own hands is not good, the garrison under its command is either running, or was requisitioned to Liaodong, most of the people who stay around are old, weak, sick and disabled, and the defense is still insufficient, and where is the ability to clear the green forests in the mountains, forests and rivers; And the second is that the terrain around Caozhou is complex, many mountains and rivers and the people are fierce, even the local folks, you can't tell whether he has something to do with the green forest, and every time he finally gathers a group of troops to clear the mountain bandit green forest, but in the end, he can't even find a shadow of the other party in this mountain and water.

In the long run, the government will not have the ability and patience to organize the clean-up, and let these ringworms and scabies around them disturb the township, and do nothing.

Even, many of the slightly larger mountain bandit gangs around the county government are either supported by the local gentry or inextricably linked to the government itself.

Knowing that Bai Yushan and they suddenly came over, although it broke the forces that had already maintained the balance in the local area, but at the same time, it also brought good news to the local people, so that they no longer had to be afraid all day long and be harassed by the bandits on the mountain.

Although Bai Yushan is nominally a group of peasant troops who have come from a stream, in fact, most of the backbone of their team are outstanding children who graduated from Hongmen, so it is naturally difficult to do things like ordinary peasant troops or mountain bandits; On the contrary, because they knew that they were about to develop their territory independently, Bai Yushan didn't seem to have thought about fishing all the way from the beginning, and they hoped to change the chaotic situation in Caozhou through their own efforts, so that they could develop quietly.

With the meticulous cleaning of the mountains and rivers in Caozhou, until He Sanjiang and they came to join him, although Baiyushan and their troops in Caozhou were only more than 20,000, but the people under their command were quite a lot, almost 40,000 or 50,000 people.

Many rural villages without the protection of the county yachengchi, in order to protect themselves, have raised their clans and villages to join Baiyushan and them, and they only need to pay a certain value of grain on time every season, so as to avoid the pain of being harassed by Baiyushan and their group, and even ensure that their own villages are no longer harassed and attacked by other bandits, but it is a very worthwhile thing.

"Lao He, I haven't seen you for a long time, but I didn't expect to be this dragon and tiger general now!!"

had already received a message from He Sanjiang to send a scout, and waited for He Sanjiang and most of them to arrive in Baiyushan, where they were waiting at Heifengkou, and the two began to joke as soon as they met.

"Hey, don't mention it, this official skin is actually really uncomfortable when I wear it on my body, I knew that I should have changed tasks with you and let you be this general, I came here to be free!"

The two were very happy to see each other, and He Sanjiang, who was a little tired after a long march, also had experience and joked with Bai Yushan.

"Hey, hey, we all envy you for having a good life, but I didn't think you would envy us for waiting for coarse tea and light rice!"

Bai Yushan laughed, and then said slyly: "But this time I'm afraid that your wish will be fulfilled, from now on, you will follow us and suffer some hardships in this mountain and water!" ”

On Liangshan, a drink and food had already been prepared to wash the dust and drink, but due to the large scale of He Sanjiang and his group, except for the hundreds of people from the Chinese army in the headquarters who went up the mountain to meet with Baiyushan, the rest of the people were placed in the villages around Liangshan.

said that it was to catch the wind and wash the dust, but in fact, it was more He Sanjiang and Bai Yushan discussing the next action.

The reason why the Hongmen headquarters asked He Sanjiang to give up the original place with some foundations, but to pull a group of hundreds of thousands of soldiers down from Shandong, is because Shandong is adjacent to the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea, first, it can become a welcome response to Dongjiang Town, and secondly, it is also convenient for the base camp to support it, and even use it as one of the springboards to arrange troops to the mainland in the future.

"Before you came, I had secretly sent a battalion of more than 700 soldiers to lurk in Caocheng, just after you came to converge next, then we would have already taken this Caozhou into our hands in one go!"

"And the surrounding towns, guards, their own strength has already been figured out, among which there are several leaders of the guards, who have also been bribed by my arrangement, as long as I give an order, these generals and thousands of generals will rise up to help us easily take these strongholds."

"Alright, without further ado, let's do it!"

He Sanjiang stuffed the sea on the table, and felt that he had almost eaten, and after pouring a glass of spirits, he said to Bai Yushan when he made a decision.

"Okay!!"

Bai Yushan has also been waiting for this day for a long time, since He Sanjiang himself is very resolute, then he can't be weak: "But this early siege and land grabbing is still carried out by our army, you and other teams come from afar, and it is also a place where they should rest and recuperate, and they will be useful in the future." ”

"It's good!"

He Sanjiang nodded.
