What did Chao Gai say, it turned out that Chao Gai said: "There are eight state capitals, fifty or sixty counties, and the registered population is as much as more than five million, and most of the local officials have gone home to retire, and there are many vacant positions, I plan to go to Tokyo City to rescue my uncle Chao Shangshu, and save me from self-blame."

Chao Gai became bigger in Shandong, captured seven or eight state capitals, and the snowflake-like war reports were reported to the Tokyo Imperial Court by local officials, Gao Yu fanned the flames next to him, and the Son of Heaven was furious, and directly imprisoned the Minister Shangshu Chao and the Hubu Shilang Lin into the prison, so Chao Gai had a lot of self-blame in his heart.

As soon as Chao Gai's words came out, the big guys expressed their positions one after another, and Li Kui was the first to say: "Okay, okay, take me to Tokyo to cut people, I like it." ”

Wu Yong hurriedly said: "The heavenly prison of the imperial court is not as big as the prison of Kaifeng Mansion, the defense must be very strict, it is not so easy to rescue people, even if it is rescued, Yichao Shangshu's temper may not be willing to come out, my brother still dispelled this idea as soon as possible, and when the imperial court soldiers fight, they will naturally reconcile after the defeat, and then Lord Chao and Lord Lin will come out." ”

Gongsun Sheng also said: "Now that most of Shandong Road has come to our hands, there is a large population, and it is fundamental to operate well. ”

Zhu Wu was silent, and it seemed that he didn't agree, Chao Gai saw that everyone disagreed, and sighed: "Okay, the matter of saving people is postponed for the time being, but which one is stronger than the mobile phone?" Mobile phone reading can't afford my uncle. But I have to go to Mangdang Mountain, as a barrier to the south, and I want to see how Mangdang Mountain goes. ”

This time, everyone agreed, after all, Mangdang Mountain was just in front of him, and there was not much distance, just let Chao Gai deal with it carefully, after all, it was a time of crisis.

Immediately, Chao Gai took Luo Yun, Li Kui, Bao Xu and the escort of 200 cavalry, and took the naval warship of Ruan Xiaowu all the way south to resist the territory of Xuzhou, and in the evening Chao Gai led the cavalry team to Mangdang Mountain.

The night sky is silent and the night breeze is blowing.

A few wild wolves wailed in the night sky, and Bao Xu said: "Li Kui, you sing, save the wolf from howling." ”

Li Kui was fooled, but he didn't sing, and soon the team came to Mangdang Pass, and the patrol team soon showed a team of people, and immediately blocked the way and shouted: "What are you doing, the cottage is heavy, you can't get close, and if you get closer, you will release arrows." ”

Li Kui went over and shouted: "Put a bird arrow, go back to the mountain to report, and say that the eldest brother is here." ”

"Please ask what this big brother is called, and it is easy to report?"

"Just say I'm called the Iron Bull." Li Kui replied.

The people on duty seemed to be the Jeju Army, and they didn't dare to slack off, so they immediately ran up the mountain to report.

Fan Rui had just fallen asleep in the cottage when he woke up the herald.

"The big boss, someone from his hometown is here, and he is an elder brother named Tie Niu."

Fan Rui was shocked, Tie Niu is Li Kui's nickname, don't look at this big black man who looks stupid, in fact, he is very talented, he fights fiercely, he is Chao Gai's henchman, and his two brothers Xiang Chong and Li Gon admire Li Kui very much. Fan Rui didn't dare to slack off, and immediately said: "Immediately invite Deputy General Xiang and Vice General Li to go out with me to have a look." ”

Fan Rui considered that in the middle of the night, he was afraid that an enemy would pretend to be him, so he ordered the whole army to strengthen its vigilance. Xiang Chong was on duty tonight, and soon arrived, Li Gon came a little slower, and the three of them brought hundreds of people to the mountain pass, and saw that there were 200 cavalry teams under the mountain, with a lot of torches, for a big black man, but the light was too dark to see clearly.

Xiang Chong said: "It's Brother Tie Niu? ”

Li Kui said: "It's me, I can't be wrong." Send for someone to get the seal. ”

The Jeju army is not a bandit who doesn't use black language connectors, it depends on the seal letter made by Jin Dajian, and immediately Mangdangshan sent a soldier to get Li Kui's seal letter, and it was confirmed, Fan Rui and Xiang Chong led dozens of people to come out to meet Li Kui.

Fan Rui's eyes were sharp, and he saw that it was Chao Gai sitting on a tall black horse behind Li Kui, Fan Rui was surprised, and immediately took two steps, bowed down, and said: "Fan Rui welcomes the late, and hopes that the Chao group will practice forgiveness." ”

Chao Gai hurriedly helped Fan Rui up and said, "Battalion Commander Fan is polite, I have to do it, I came to check the work late at night, and I disturbed you to rest." ”

Fan Rui said: "Where did my brother come from, don't say that the work is inspected late at night, even if we are charged in the middle of the night, there is no complaint." Please, speak in the camp. ”

In other words, why Fan Rui respects Chao Gai so much, there is actually a reason, Fan Rui is a literati, and he has the feeling of dying for his confidant. Since Chao Gai came to Mangdang Mountain, persuaded Fan Rui, Xiang Chong, and Li Gon to surrender, and secretly joined the Jeju Army, Fan Rui restrained his minions and completely changed from a bandit to a soldier, not only strengthened his training, but more importantly, he got rid of the banditry, Chao Gai was the most annoying road robbery, kidnapping and ransom, so Fan Rui has never done a bandit since then. Of course, this is also inseparable from Chao Gai's command, there are more than 100 veterans in the army to help train soldiers, and at the same time secretly send food and salary to the mountains every few months, so Fan Rui's 3,000 men and horses have enough food and salary, and their lives are good.

Fan Rui and Xiang Zhong led the way, leading Chao Gai to Mangdang Mountain, and the hall Li Chao Gai sat in the center, and Fan Rui, Li Kui, Xiang Chong, and Li Gon were separated on both sides.

Chao Gai looked at Fan Rui and said, "You also know a little bit about the situation in Shandong, but what do you think?" ”

Fan Rui saw Chao Gai Kao and asked himself, and said: "My brother beat Gao Lian too hard, none of his 3,000 soldiers went back, but Hu Yanzhuo's soldiers were almost not injured, and Gao Lian and Hu Yanzhuo must have a conflict after they go back." What's more, we have occupied most of Shandong, the imperial court must be in a hurry, and it is certain that the transfer of 100,000 troops to encircle and suppress in three ways, but the stamina is insufficient, and if he is defeated in this round, the imperial court will change the levy to appeasement. ”

Chao Gai lightly lined up the table with his hand, this Fan Ruixing, the three military advisors studied it all night, and they also thought so, but I didn't expect Fan Rui to be able to see that this Fan Rui is also a good material for leading soldiers.

Chao Gai said, "What mountain road do you think the imperial court should attack Jeju from?" ”

Fan Rui said: "The first way must be in the direction of Gao Tang, Gao Lian is not a person who easily admits defeat, but the one who leads the troops will definitely not be Gao Lian, but Hu Yanzhuo, Gao Yu still knows his younger brother very well." There should be at least one to twenty thousand soldiers along the way, and the main force is still Hu Yanzhuo's cavalry. The second way is the main force, the people and horses mobilized by the imperial court from Kaifeng, who leads the team is not good, it should not be less than 50,000. The third way should be the troops mobilized from Xuzhou and Huaiyang, Huaiyang has many troops, and the two prefectures together can have 20,000 people. ”

Li Kui said: "Fan Lao Dao, he is qualified to be a military advisor." ”

"The Jeju army has been new for a few weeks, and the forces are too scattered, so it must be a little too busy to deal with the three-way army and horses at once. The soldiers and horses on the south road will be handed over to your battalion, how about it? ”

Fan Rui Zhengse said: "We are also a member of the Jeju Army, and although my brother gave the order, I will not hesitate to go to the soup." ”

"Okay, if the South Road army and horses attack, the number is only 20,000, and your battalion will resist it." Chao Gai said.
