Chapter 131: Ten Thousand Armies Have Passed Through the Bush, Not a Leaf Touches the Body (2)
So, Zhao Gou and Lin Chongbing split up and acted separately. The two of them had not changed their clothes, so they wore the clothes issued by Fang Tianding and took advantage of the night to carry out their actions. Zhao Gou ran directly to the major mansions in Hangzhou City, and Lin Chong ran to the garrisons of the armies from all walks of life. Since Song Jiang and Lu Junyi led a large army to the city, Fang Tianding had already ordered people to gather all the troops in Hangzhou City and gather them all.
Therefore, finding the location of the rebels is easy and not really very simple, and it is also necessary to draw a map based on the location of these large armies, as well as the estimated number of the entire army. Lin Chong was originally the head of the forbidden army, and these were easy for him, and he had already learned to visually measure the number of troops.
Lin Chong's side is more convenient to deal with, the only thing he is worried about is Zhao Gou's search for Fang La's traces. They have been in the city for more than half a month, and they have never seen Fang La, and from the mouths of the soldiers, it can be concluded that Fang La is in Hangzhou City, and the specific location is not even clear to them, only a few people know, very mysterious.
Although Zhao Gou said that his internal strength had recovered and he could use force, Lin Chong was still a little worried in his heart. After all, Fang La has a lot of masters around him, and he himself is also a person with strong martial arts. If it is discovered, it is not so simple for Zhao to get out. Since Zhao Gou is firm, Lin Chong can only trust him.
Lin Chong came to the east of Hangzhou City, where there was an army, and he had learned the general situation from the mouths of the soldiers in these days, and he had also been there in some places. Therefore, Lin Chong was familiar with the road and quietly approached the barracks station. The pitch-black night formed a good protective barrier, and the patrolling soldiers who came and went couldn't see him, but Lin Chong could see them.
After Lin Chong made a visual inspection, he silently wrote down the number of soldiers, and the results referred to according to the number of camp tents may not all be correct, even if there is a discrepancy, it will not be too big. In addition, Lin Chong quietly groped for the surrounding terrain and then left.
He was groping for the number of Fang La's army, one after another, shuttling between the various military camps; Zhao Gou groped for Fang La's whereabouts, shuttling between various mansions. He first came to the Hangzhou Mansion, and after looking around, he found that there was no figure of Fang La, and then went to Fang Tianding's mansion, only saw Fang Taiding, and did not see Fang La's figure.
After looking for an hour, Zhao Gou still didn't find any situation, and thought: "Could it be that Fang La is no longer in Hangzhou City?" If not in Hangzhou City, then where is he? According to the previous information, he was in the city of Hangzhou. However, after searching for so long, there is still no discovery, let alone any movement, what is going on? ”
He looked at the soldiers back and forth, frowning, puzzled. Zhao Gou has always wanted to meet Fang La himself and see how he differs from the book. Moreover, history is only a few words about the failure of Fang La's uprising, and there is very little real mention of it, but there is a lot to say about the pursuit of his descendants.
Historically, the Fangla Army Uprising was even stronger and more powerful than the Liangshan Uprising led by Song Jiang. Therefore, Zhao Gou wanted to meet this big man. If his internal strength had not recovered, Zhao Gou would not have dared to enter the city easily, let alone shuttle between the houses like he was now, without being discovered by the patrol soldiers.
Zhao Gou's internal force has been completely restored, not only has the internal force been restored, but it should be even more than before. Zhao Gou himself didn't expect that after the last battle, his internal strength disappeared for two months, and after waking up again, he actually reached a higher realm. The current Zhao Gou is not as difficult as before facing Lu Junyi, if he is now him, he doesn't need to use too much strength at all to suppress Lu Junyi, his internal force has reached the point of release, forming a unique momentum, as long as he does any action within his range, it can be found, and there is also a limit of only one meter of distance.
At the right time, Zhao Gou saw Fang Tianding quietly slipping away from the back door of the mansion in the dead of night, which was very strange. Moreover, Zhao Gou saw that Fang Taiding did not bring any entourage with him, and even the clothes on his body were changed to those of ordinary people, dressed as ordinary people, which aroused Zhao Gou's curiosity and thought: "Could it be that he secretly met Fang La?" ”
So, Zhao Gou quietly followed behind Fang Tianding. Fang Tianding bypassed three alleys and walked to a single-plank bridge, which was already two miles away from Hangzhou. The more Zhao Gou thought about it, the more strange he felt, and he continued to follow, carefully not daring to let him find out. After a while, Fang Tianding stopped and came to a mansion.
Fang Tianding lightly buckled a few times, then looked back at the back, the door opened on one side, and he walked in.
Zhao Gou took a closer look, only to see that the high walls of this mansion were built, and he couldn't see the scenery in the courtyard at all. When I raised my head and saw the handwriting on the door plaque, I realized that this deserted mansion was actually Cai Jing's mansion. At the beginning, Fang La broke through Hangzhou City, killed the Hangzhou County Guard, and killed Cai Jing, and even everything in Cai Jing's mansion was looted, and several boxes of gold, silver, jewelry, and the like were collected.
It was only at this time that Zhao Gou knew why he had not found any trace of Fang La. Just because Fang La has been living in Cai Jing's mansion, he took the mansion that originally belonged to Cai Jing as his own. Even Fang La's cronies around him didn't know about this matter, only a few people knew. Zhao Gou has been looking for Hangzhou City, and it is normal that he has not found any trace of Fang La, just because Cai Jingfu is outside Hangzhou City, and is no longer in Hangzhou City.
Although there are high walls built in Cai Jing's mansion, these are just a piece of cake for Zhao Gou, and the high walls of the palace can't stop him. Zhao Gou walked around the front door to the side door, then looked around again, and made sure that there was no one, jumped up, climbed directly on the wall, quietly showed his head, and looked at everything in the mansion.
I saw a row of well-dressed soldiers standing in the house, each of them fierce and vicious, constantly walking back and forth. Zhao Gou saw that he was heavily guarded, and it was expected that Fang La must be in the room. Zhao Gou quietly moved his body again, wanting to get closer, but still couldn't hear any sound, and finally moved to the roof, he quietly uncovered a piece of rubble, looked down from above, and finally saw Fang La's face clearly.
In the center of the hall sat a man wearing a golden dragon robe, wearing a crown, with a dignified appearance and a graceful demeanor, as if he was not a person in the rivers and lakes, but more like a high-ranking person. Zhao Gou couldn't help but think of Fang La's deeds, and dared to risk the crime of killing his head because he forged the official seal and opened a warehouse to release grain, so as to win the hearts of the people.
It is precisely because of Fang La's righteous act that he has become the savior in the eyes of the people, and they have taken refuge in him. If it weren't for this, Zhao Gou and Lin Chong would not have entered Hangzhou City. In addition, Fang La believes in Manichaeism, follows the principle of equality of all people, is politically equal to each other, regardless of superiority and inferiority, and everyone is united to fight against the enemy; Economically, all money and property are used for public enjoyment, and there is no distinction between you and me, which also makes Fang La deeply respected by the generals under his command.
