Chapter 127: Conquer Zhou Tong
As a bandit, Zhou Tong's ears and eyes are still very sensitive, yesterday I knew that there was a team of soldiers and horses stationed outside Taohuazhuang, scared Zhou Tong's careful liver plopped, you must know that Qingzhou is the capital of the state, there is a general soldier called Qin Ming, a mace is very powerful, there is a prisoner named Huang Xin is Qin Ming's apprentice known as Zhen Sanshan, a mourning sword is also a fork. These are all roles that Zhou Tong can't afford to provoke, so Zhou Tong ordered his minions to close the mountain gate tightly and prepare more rolling wood and thunder stones, so that if the officers and soldiers want to attack the mountain, they can only fill it with human lives, you must know that the officers and soldiers who are freezing now will definitely not stay for long.
Niu Gao had no choice, but Chen Da had a way, Chen Da shouted: "The original Shaohua Mountain's second master and the third master jumped the stream tiger and white flower snake to worship the mountain, please report quickly." ”
Chen Da Yang Chun's nickname is not known to most people, but Zhou Tong, as a colleague of the fallen grass, still knows it, so he is dressed neatly and carries a gun and a horse out of the mountain gate.
Niu Gao said: "You two are quite capable, so you fooled him here?" ”
Chen Dadao: "If you can persuade him, try to say it, if you really kill him and spread it, the reputation of the two of us will be ruined." ”
Niu Gao said: "Don't worry. ”
After that, Niu Gao urged the horse forward, and looked at Zhou Tong carefully, although he was known as the little overlord, he actually had an old nose like Xiang Yu, and he didn't have much prestige, and he was even a little thin.
"You are the little overlord Zhou Tong?" Niu Gao asked.
"yes, who are you?" Zhou Tong looked at the black boy in front of him and asked.
Niu Gao said: "I am Niu Gao from Yuncheng Tuanlian, and I was ordered to exterminate your cottage today." ”
"Ahh What, you want to exterminate my cottage. "Raise your gun.
Niu Gao said: "What are you panicking about, wait for me to finish speaking." Look at you, a shabby cottage, one by one eating chaff vegetables, the minions are all noodles, and even you are in rags, it's better to be like this, you mix with me, follow me back to Yuncheng for group practice, and you can have a future. ”
Zhou Tong's eyes rolled around, and he said, "Who knows if you tricked me and tricked me into killing me." ”
Niu Gao pouted and said: "As long as you look like a big chicken cub, I can kill eight a day, and I still need to lie to kill you." Seeing the two behind, Yang Chun and Chen Da, they were originally from Shaohua Mountain, but now they are good at practicing in Yuncheng Regiment, and they can still get a hundred and ten military salaries a year, which is not better than living a life in fear as a thief. ”
Zhou Tong thought about it, this is also the truth, he knows this bit of martial arts, that is, with his strength, he can fool ordinary minions, and he can't beat those who have a little ability.
"Well, it's okay to go to the army and eat food. It's just that you have to be able to win me, and if you can't win me, how can you convince me. Zhou Tong said.
Niu Gao said: "You are a person, you have to die to save face and suffer crimes." Come on. ”
Niu Gao danced his double gong to urge the horse to pass, and Zhou Tong raised his gun to parry. Niu Tong has also learned to be tactful, after all, in front of so many younger brothers of Zhou Tong, he always has to save some face for others, and he has played more than a dozen rounds with a clanging bell, and Zhou Tongzhen's tiger mouth is numb, and he immediately said: "Stop, I admire your martial arts, and I am also willing to go to Yuncheng with you to practice in the group, but what should I do with the nearly three hundred brothers in my cottage?" ”
Niu Gao said: "If you are willing to go, you can follow a piece to Yuncheng, and those who go there to be soldiers will be soldiers, and those who can't be soldiers will dig iron mines, or farm land, anyway, they can have something to eat." If you don't want to go, let them go home and farm, don't fool around in the cottage, sooner or later they will be destroyed. ”
"Okay, then you will go back to the cottage with me to arrange things, and I will go back with you when the arrangements are made." Weekly channel.
Niu Gao led people to follow Zhou Tong into the cottage, and Zhou Tong admired: "You three are so bold, and you are not afraid that I will be cheating." ”
Niu Gao said: "My soldier is a cavalry archer, and his archery skills are all first-class." Even if you are cheating, it won't take a while to shoot all the dead. Look at it if you don't believe it. ”
After that, Niu Gao's arrow hit the sign of the righteous hall a hundred meters away, and the tail of the feather arrow was still shaking, and Zhou Tong, who was frightened, shrank his neck again and again, but fortunately he didn't play any tricks just now.
Zhou Tong immediately summoned his minions and explained the situation, and immediately 200 people expressed their willingness to follow Zhou Tong to Yuncheng as soldiers or farming. However, there were also nearly 100 people who thought that Zhou Tong was surrendering to the official army, did not agree to follow, and wanted to fend for himself. Zhou Tong was not reluctant, let them go.
There are not many valuable things in the cottage, and the money and food are almost empty. Zhou Tong quickly dismissed the thieves who were unwilling to follow the hundred-tenth, and there was nothing to give, the kitchen knives, iron pots, chopping boards, rice, noodles, and even the cabbage for the winter, as well as the tables and cases in the Juyi Hall, were all taken away by these people.
Zhou Tong was still a little sad, Chen Da said: "Is it a little sad to see the cottage you worked so hard to create so scattered?" ”
Zhou Tong said: "Who said no, I have lived in this Peach Blossom Mountain for two years, I am worried about the daughter of Mrs. Liu of Taohua Village up and down the mountain, and I originally planned to take her up the mountain to be a lady of the village when I robbed enough of the bride price." ”
Niu Gao scolded: "You are not qualified to be a thief in virtue, the thief must have the appearance of a thief, do you still want to give a bride price when the thief marries his daughter-in-law, just grab it." ”
scolded Zhou Tong with a big red face, Yang Chun said: "Niu Gao has such a temper, but if you want to improve in this ability, you have to rely on him, he is a celebrity in front of our Chao group practice, our group practice has a coach invited from Tokyo, Niu fork is boundless, if Chao Tuan Lian arranges you to train him, you can be reborn in at least half a year and become a real little overlord." ”
"Really?" Zhou Tong didn't believe it, "There is such a powerful head who is willing to teach me." ”
"You go and beg Niu Gao." Chen Da and Yang Chun said.
Zhou Tong licked his face and said to Niu Gao: "Those who should be dismissed have also been dismissed, and there are less than one hundred and ninety-five people left who are willing to follow." I'm also considered to be a surrender, there is no merit and hard work, you can see if you can arrange a head teacher for me, so that I can also learn martial arts. ”
Niu Gao looked at Zhou Tong carefully: "I see that your bones are quite strange, maybe it will be really useful to train well, perform well, and lead this team well." You must remember that from now on, you people are the entourage of Yuncheng Tuanlian, and we are responsible for supplying food, drink, and Lazar along the way, so you can't carry out any robbery, including buying and selling, or even taking things given away by the people for free. ”
Zhou Tong said with a bitter face: "Ah, the people can't take what they give for nothing?" ”
"Can't take it, do you think the people really want to send it, most of them see us as soldiers, scared, and send it for peace of mind, so they must not accept it, especially valuables. This is no joke, if you take more than the value of a sheep for nothing, be careful to open the flowers. Niu Gao said.
Zhou Tong looked helpless, after all, he was used to being a thief, and he really couldn't get money if he didn't rob him.
Niu Gao took out twenty taels of silver from his pocket, thought about it and took back five taels, and handed the fifteen taels of silver to Zhou Tong: "I'll lend you fifteen taels of silver first, I don't want to see you make mistakes." Remember, I went back and sent you a settling-in allowance to pay me back. ”
Zhou Daodao: "Okay, don't worry." I don't owe you any money. ”
Peach Blossom Mountain was dispersed like this, Zhou Tong led the minion team to follow Niu Gao's cavalry team back to the camp, and from a long distance, he saw Gongsun Sheng with Shi Xiu Shijin and others to greet him, and Liu Taigong of Peach Blossom Village next to him and dozens of Zhuang guests were also there.
Seeing Niu Gao and others coming, they bowed and saluted, "Thank you Niu Dutou for calming Peach Blossom Mountain." ”。 Although Niu Gao is a bad person, he still understands etiquette, so he hurriedly replied: "Mrs. Liu, don't salute when you are so old." Niu Gao hurriedly helped him up.
Zhou Chenglai also gave Mrs. Liu a smile, and Mrs. Liu was startled when she saw it.
Niu Gao said: "Don't be afraid, Mrs. Liu, this kid was beaten by me, and now he has surrendered, and he will go to eat food as a soldier in the future, and he will not harm your Peach Blossom Village again." Don't you know, this kid still thinks about your girl. ”
Mrs. Liu was even more scared, and thanked Niu Gao again and again.
Zhou Tongqi scratched his head: "Am I so afraid of people?" ”
Niu Gao returned victoriously and successfully subdued the team of Taohuashan, which was a big credit, and even Chen Da and Yang Chun, who followed the soy sauce, also had a small credit.
Gongsun Sheng said: "Niu Gao, this time you did a good job, it is rare to win without killing a single person." ”
"The military advisor praised it." Niu Gao said.
Gongsun Sheng said to Zhou Daodao again: "You can abandon the darkness and turn to the light, this is the right choice, it will not be wrong to come to Yuncheng to practice." I heard that although your martial arts are average, you are powerful and have a future in the future. Your horse is a little thin and unpresentable, so choose one of the reserve horses first. As for the weapons and armor, you can use the current one first, and then change your outfit when you get back. ”
Zhou Tong was very moved, but he didn't expect to change the war horse as soon as he came, and immediately thanked Gongsun Sheng, and happily went to get the horse.
The team beamed and entered the barracks. Gongsun Sheng gave an order and added vegetables to celebrate in the evening. A few fat pigs and a few fat sheep were collected from nearby, and the men and soldiers were busy.
Mrs. Liu knew that Gongsun Sheng had a temper, and he didn't mention anything to give.
"Thank you so much, for removing a big harm from the village." Liu Taigong said.
Gongsun Sheng said: "Don't let your guard down, didn't you purchase three hundred steel forks from the caravan today, hurry up and train Zhuang Ding, and by the way, contact the nearby villages." Maybe one day there will be another group of strongmen in this Peach Blossom Mountain. ”
Liu Taigong sighed: "Live one day at a time, the world is turbid." ”
That night, Gongsun Sheng held a small welcome banquet to welcome Zhou Tong to join. Zhou Tong's martial arts are all self-taught, without the guidance of a famous teacher, and his strength is not small, and he is still malleable. During the banquet, Niu Gao also asked ten soldiers to perform night mounted shooting, and the soldiers accurately shot the straw handle 50 meters away on their galloping horses. The people who came down from the peach blossom mountain applauded one by one.
