(Draft, draft, draft) cooperated with Shi Jin before, and the distribution of illicit salt had to be concealed. Since Shi Jin's power rose sharply and captured Jeju, now Chao Gai is cooperating with Shi Jin openly and selling illicit salt.

Thanks to the good cooperative relationship with Liangshan, Tuota Tianwang Chaogai is already the largest private merchant of green salt in Shandong.

When Shi Jin was just a small cottage owner, he got involved with him and helped him get pig iron, and the return was now an annual income of 100,000 taels of silver.

This made the Tota Heavenly King Chao Gai always admire his gaze.

As long as I work for a few more years, I am afraid that this Shandong is the richest in Shandong except for Shi Jin. The wish to revitalize the Chao family is about to come true.

Just as Chao Gai was thinking about whether he should be a little bolder, discuss with Shi Jin, and then buy more green salt, and then sell it to other places, such as Hebei Province, he suddenly heard that his right-hand man Liu Tang was leaving.

How can there be no opponents for this kind of illegal salt trafficking, and there will be no robbers who rob homes and houses.

Liu Tang is strong in martial arts and dares to fight, it is precisely because of the protection of the village protection team led by him that his private salt business has not suffered major setbacks for so many years.

Hearing that Liu Tang was leaving, Chao Gai panicked, and he hurriedly asked, "Brother Liu Tang, why are you leaving all of a sudden?" Could it be that there is something wrong with me? If you say it, Chao Gai will definitely apologize to you and improve! ”

Liu Tang hurriedly shook his head and said: "Don't misunderstand King Chao, you have been righteous and squandered money, and you have been generous for many years, and there is no place to snub Liu Tang!"

Chao Gai suddenly said with some dissatisfaction when he heard this: "In that case, why do you still want to leave? ”

Liu Tang sighed and said, "Don't dare to hide from the Heavenly King, Liu Tang is ready to defect to the Nine Pattern Dragon Shi Jin!" ”

Hearing that Liu Tang was going to defect to Shi Jin, Chao Gai shouted in annoyance: "Why are you going to Shi Jin, he has already surrendered to the imperial court and is willing to be a minion of the imperial court." Now that the traitors of the court are in charge, they can't stretch their great abilities. It's better to live a free life with me! ”

Liu Tang shook his head and said, "So that King Chao Tian knows that Shi Haohan originally defected to the imperial court in order to lead his subordinates to attack the Liao State and recover Yanyun." Abandoning personal interests, ignoring the high-ranking officials who are in hand, he is willing to take the risk to lead the troops to attack the Liao State, and fulfill the long-cherished wish of our Han family men for many years. King Chao, please see, this is a text written by Shi Haohan! ”

Chao Gai took the letter handed over by Liu Tang and opened it. I saw that the letter read: "There are many police in the border city, and the number of captives and cavalry has moved." Shi Jin broke the name of General Liao and announced to the world: the Khitan wolves were unkind and cruel to living beings. What man and god are jealous of, heaven and earth do not tolerate. The ambition of the wolf is restored, the artifact is stolen, and the sin is accumulated! Shenzhou looks north, looking up to the sky and roaring, strong and fierce. I am not happy in my heart, and I am chivalrous. Today, the Son of Heaven gathers volunteers. Drive a long car and step through the lack of Helan Mountain. Zhuang is hungry for Hulu meat, laughing and thirsty for Xiongnu blood. Holding a three-foot Qingfeng, if you don't break Youzhou, you won't return it. Wangxing righteous teachers, venting public anger; Support the royal family and save the people. When the text arrives, it can be pursued quickly! ”

I saw the text in the text, 'Zhuang Zhi is hungry for Hulu meat, laughing and thirsty for Hun blood. Holding a three-foot Qingfeng, if you don't break Youzhou, you won't return it. With these words, Chao Gai couldn't help but be enthusiastic for a while.

If it had been a few years earlier, maybe Chao Gai would have really left everything now and followed Shi to fight the Liao Kingdom. But now Chao Gai can only put away the text and sigh: "I underestimated this Shi Jin, he is really a first-class good man!" ”

Liu Tang also agreed: "Shi Jin is really a first-class good man, and these characters are the heroes and heroes that my generation should admire." Liu Tang wants to follow him to fight the Liao State and cross the border! ”

Although Chao Gai couldn't help but be excited after reading the text, he didn't like his right-hand man to join Shi Jin like this.

Chao Gai covered his forehead and shouted in distress: "Brother Liu Tang, this Liao army is strong and strong, even figures like Song Taizu and Song Taizong can't recover Yanyun with more than 100,000 horses. How many soldiers and horses does he have in history? Wouldn't it be too child's play to attack the Liao State with just a few soldiers and horses. Brother Liu Tang should think about it again, so as not to die in a foreign country! ”

Liu Tang flatly refused when he heard this: "Thank you Chao Tianwang for your kindness, but for such a feat as recovering Yanyun, how can you not do without me Liu Tang." If you unfortunately die in battle, you can only blame me Liu Tang's skills are not as good as others, and I can't complain about anything else! ”

"Brother Liu Tang......" When Chao Gai still wanted to persuade again, Liu Tang said: "Chao Tianwang, I have made up my mind, and I ask the Heavenly King to fulfill it!" ”

Seeing that Liu Tang had made up his mind, the Chao family sighed and said, "Since you have already decided, how can I be embarrassed to force it." That's it, you and I have been brothers for many years, and today you are going to go to Shi Jin to go to the battlefield. For my brother, I will give you the armor made by the good craftsman, I hope it can help you! ”

Liu Tang heard that he was busy and bowed his hand and said, "Thank you Chao Tianwang for being complete!" ”

The Chao family asked Zhuang Ke to give Liu Tang the pair of chain mail with the beast face, the wrought steel lion helmet, the pomegranate red brocade robe, the gold-plated beast face belt, the green cloud root boots, the three-pointed two-edged eight-ring knife, and a blue-maned horse in the warehouse.

At the entrance of the village, the Chao family took two bowls of wine from the Zhuangke tray, handed one bowl to Liu Tang, and shouted: "Brother, you are such a hero, you can get ahead under Shi Jinjun." In the future, if you are born, don't forget my brother. This bowl of wine is brother, and I wish you a long journey! ”

Liu Tang took the wine, drank it all in one gulp and said, "Brother, don't worry, Gou Fugui doesn't dare to forget!" Brother, I'm gone, brother, how precious you are! ”

Liu Tang took his own way to Dengzhou, and Chao Gai took Zhuang Ke back with a bang.

……

In a courtyard in Yuliuzhuang in the Taihu Lake region, four men sat together, drinking rice wine and discussing.

Fei Bao, the red-bearded dragon with yellow hair and a blue silk jacket on the head, put down the thick bowl and said, "What do you think about the things mentioned in the article on defecting to Shi Jin?" ”

Ni Yun, a curly-haired tiger with long and short hair and a black and green cotton shirt with a black and green collar, heard it and shouted, "I think it's okay." Why are you brothers hiding in Taihu Lake and reluctant to go out, it is not because the world is not good, traitors are in charge, and they don't want to make trouble and harm the parents and elders in their hometown, so a few of us are hiding in this Taihu Lake and are free. But now Shi Haohan is going to fight the Liao Kingdom to recover Yanyun, how can we miss such things! ”

The black-faced and long-bearded Taihu Jiao Buqing said: "But what about after defeating the Liao State? From ancient times: 'Taiping was originally determined by the general, and the general was not allowed to see the peace.' 'We worked hard to take down Yan Yun, and then we were killed by that faint monarch traitor, wouldn't that be too resentful! ”

The skinny-faced and broad-cheeked Xiong Di Cheng disagreed and said: "Song Shenzong said in public that whoever can win the sixteen states of Yanyun can be crowned king!" The emperor can't openly break his oath! is crowned king, and it will be idle in the future, but we also won the sixteen states of Yanyun, and the names of our four brothers will be indispensable in the future historical records. How can you miss such a famous thing in history! ”

Taihu Jiao Buqing retorted: "The soldiers of the Liao State are strong and strong, how dare you guarantee that Shi Jin will definitely be able to defeat the Liao State?" ”

Thin-faced Xiong Di Cheng shouted: "That's much better than a guy who doesn't do anything." Although we don't know if that Shi Haohan can lead his troops to defeat the Liao army, at least he has the courage to do so. What about us? We just stayed in Taihu Lake all day, and our lives were happy, but what was the point of living like this all the time. Is everyone willing to spend their whole lives like this, and then die of old age in a hospital bed? ”

Hearing the thin-faced Xiong Di Cheng's words, the other three people fell silent.

In the end, it was the Red Whisker Dragon who shouted, "It's not a way for us to sit like this all the time. I decided to meet Shi Jin of the Nine Pattern Dragon in person, if he really went to fight the Liao Kingdom to recover Yanyun. If he is really as big a hero as rumored, then we will follow him! No resentment even if you die! ”

Thin-faced Xiong Di Cheng immediately shouted when he heard it: "Big brother said well, hearing is false, seeing is believing, let's go and see the spirit of this nine-pattern dragon Shi Jin in person!" ”

Taihu Jiao Buqing nodded and said, "It's okay!" Anyway, I've always wanted to meet the heroes who sing from all over the country, and see if he is really benevolent and heroic! ”

"Since all the brothers have agreed, then we will set off for Shandong on a certain day!"

The four Taihu brothers are not stingy people, since they have decided to leave, they will simply pack up their weapons and small items, and leave those heavy items to the surrounding villagers.

Four people with a few seven or eight big men drove a fishing boat to the north.

……

On the trail of a mountain road in Shandong, Han Bolong walked out with a knife.

A hawker carried two baskets and walked on the mountain road towards Lijia Village, just walked around a corner, he saw a rough man with a knife suddenly ran out, he was so frightened that he quickly dropped the basket, knelt on the ground and cried: "A good man spare his life!" The small ones are the poor people, and they do some small things to support the family. Let the little one go! ”

When Han Bolong heard it, he shouted, "Get out, don't file Lao Tzu's way." Lao Tzu doesn't do this kind of unconcealed thing now. Lao Tzu wants to follow Shi Haohan to fight the Liao Kingdom! ”

Kicking the vendor away, Han Bolong strode towards Juye City.

As countless people responded to Shi Jin's call for a message, they all rushed to Dengzhou, preparing to follow him to fight the Liao Kingdom.

Shi Jin didn't stay in Dengzhou, he asked Lin Chong and others to be responsible for receiving these people who rushed to defect, but he had already led the soldiers and horses across the sea to Shepherd City.

Sheep's head and water village, hearing that the marshal was coming, Zhang Shun sent someone to take a boat to pick him up early.

When Shi Jin walked off the boat with Zhu Wu and the others, Zhang Shun hurriedly stepped forward and bowed and said, "See the marshal!" ”

Shi Jin said with a smile: "You two brothers have conquered Shuizhai and taken Shepherd City, opening up a safe forward position for our army. Very well done, Ben Shuai has already asked the military commander Pei Xuan to help you count the first-class merit and second-class merit! ”

When Zhang Shun heard this, he immediately shouted happily: "Marshal Xie!" ”

Shi Jin nodded and said, "

What about your eldest brother Zhang Heng and Li Jun? Where are they now? ”

Zhang Shun said: "Marshal Hui, those nomadic tribes formed an alliance army in order to deal with our Liangshan army. My eldest brother and General Li are now leading their men to harass them, ready to surprise them! ”

When Shi Jin heard this, he immediately shouted: "Let them come back for me, only 1,500 soldiers and horses want to capture the whole of Suzhou, it's just nonsense." He still thought he was Zhuge Liang! Send someone to call them back! ”

Zhang Shun was also very indignant at his eldest brother Zhang Heng and Li Jun's behavior of abandoning themselves and running to make merit. He immediately shouted: "Yes, marshal, I will have someone call them back!" ”

When Zhang Shun sent someone to inform Zhang Heng and Li Jun.

In the tent, several tribal leaders sat together, drinking milk wine and eating roast mutton, but they were silent.

Seeing that it was not possible to go on like this, he shouted loudly to the envoy of Suzhou Jiedu: "My lord, now that Song Gou has attacked Suzhou, do you just let these Song Dogs show off their power in the Great Liao Kingdom?" If Lord Liao knows, can he let you go? ”

Suzhou Jiedu made Xiao Taosu heard it and was a little angry. It's just the loss of Shepherd City, no matter what, he has an unshirkable responsibility. He needed this tribal alliance to defeat the Song army and recover the shepherd city.

Xiao Taosu held back his anger and said: "This official has already sent someone to Beijing to report, but the road is far away, even if the saint sends troops, the army is afraid that it will not be able to arrive here for a while." This official thinks that we still have to find a way to defeat those Song dogs and get through the difficulties. It's the best policy! ”

Hearing this, he frowned and asked, "How many soldiers and horses can the adults mobilize now?" ”

Xiao Taosu said helplessly: "Shepherd City is lost, and now there are only five hundred guards in the hands of this official!" ”

The Liao State practiced "one country, two systems", and implemented the state and county system management in Yanyun Prefecture, Shangjing and other important places, but the tribal management system was practiced in other places. It is to entrust the management of these places to the tribal leaders, and the tribes only need to pay tribute on time and in accordance with the amount every year, and at the same time, as long as the Liao lord orders, these tribes must send the tribe's warriors to fight together.

At the same time, according to its military functions, the army of the Liao State included two major systems: the imperial court palace guard army and the local town garrison army.

The elite army of the Liao State consisted of 30,000 Pi Mur troops and 20,000 subordinate Shan troops, as well as 18,000 Han troops, which were the imperial palace guards stationed in Shangjing and Xijing.

As for Liaodong, Shenzhou has nearly 50,000 Bohai soldiers stationed, but these 50,000 troops have to guard against Goryeo, and at the same time, it is also to suppress the rebellion of the original Bohai people, and it is easy to mobilize.

The rest of Liao Tokyo was guarded by local garrisons, and almost all of these local garrisons were tribal armies.

The huge Suzhou really obeyed the orders of the imperial court completely with only 1,000 soldiers and horses.

Moreover, among the 1,000 soldiers and horses, nearly 500 guards are stationed in Shepherd City on weekdays. Now the shepherd city has been conquered, and the defenders have been captured. Suzhou commander Xiao Taosu had only 500 men left in his hands.

Five hundred men! There are not as many warriors as their own tribe.

He knew that the officers and soldiers in Suzhou could not be counted on, so he inspected the side of the audience and said: "Everyone, now that Song Dog has bullied us, if we don't want to eradicate such a dog thief, we will all suffer heavy losses!" What's even worse is that if they don't leave in the spring, we won't be able to graze at all, and we won't be able to survive! ”

After the Suzhou tribe agreed on a strategy, they each sent troops to prepare to form an alliance army to deal with those Song dogs together.

Zhang Heng listened to the reports of the spies and secret agents, and knew that several tribes in Suzhou had formed a tribal alliance army of 1,700 people.

He scolded in a low voice: "You really think that Lao Tzu will only be beaten, and you will not fight back!" Dare to shout with such fanfare to eradicate us. If I don't teach you a lesson, we're really easy to bully! ”

Zhang Heng and Li Jun were hiding in a mountain forest, planning to deal with the tribal alliance army.

Riding on horseback, the messenger found Zhang Heng and Li Jun according to the unique signal method of the Liangshan Army.

In a mountain forest, when Zhang Heng and Li Jun were nibbling on cold steamed buns, they heard a messenger coming.

Zhang Heng hurriedly took the letter from the messenger and opened it.

After reading it, Zhang Heng silently handed the letter to Li Jun.

Li Jun saw that Zhang Heng's face was a little bad, and he hurriedly took a quick browsing.

After Li Jun saw it, his face changed, he raised his head and said to Zhang Heng: "General Zhang, now that we are all ready, we are just waiting for the fish to take the bait, we must not give up so easily!" ”

Zhang Heng patted his somewhat frozen face in distress and shouted: "I know, but the marshal has ordered us to go back, and if we don't go back, we will disobey the military order." You don't know the severity of this crime, do you? ”

When Li Jun heard this, he hesitated and shouted: "As the saying goes, you will not be subject to military orders abroad!" It's a rare opportunity now, and if you miss it, it's hard to find another opportunity like this. We went according to the original plan. If the marshal is to blame, I, Li Jun, will bear it alone! ”

Zhang Heng heard a loud shout: "What are you talking about, how can I, Zhang Heng, be a cowardly and afraid guy who pushes the responsibility on others!" I am the main general of this march, even if I have to take responsibility, I will bear it! ”

Li Jun hurriedly said: "This time it is my opinion, and it should be ...... by me"

Zhang Heng shouted: "Okay, just go according to the original plan!" If the marshal is to blame, I will bear it! ”

Zhang Heng wrote a letter and asked the messenger to go back immediately to inform the general.

In the letter, Zhang Heng explained the reasons for the operation, the plan, and the possible impact.

The messengers rushed back to Shepherd City overnight, and Shi Jin took Zhang Heng's letter and read it.

Shi Jin angrily threw the letter to the ground. Damn, two bastards. As soon as you release it, your tail will be lifted to the sky!

Now he can't even listen to Ben Shuai's orders, and if he sees these two bastards, he must be severely punished.

Otherwise, who will dare not listen to Ben Shuai's orders in the future!
