The moon is dark and kills the night, and the wind is high and the sky is on fire. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Hu thought that the arrangement was strict enough, and the guard on the wall of the wooden village was strengthened, but in the middle of the night, he still heard a shout: "There is a fire!" "Fight the fire! ”

At first, it was just a few people shouting, and then it became more than a dozen people, and then the whole village was in an uproar, shouting.

Li Hu slept in the strongest stone house in the village at night, and in his opinion, this should be the safest place.

Li Hu was awakened by the shouting outside, got up from the bed, fished out a short knife from under the pillow, and shouted to the guards outside the door, "What's the matter? Hurry up and light up! ”

There was no response outside the door, but the lights inside the house were on.

A young man whom Li Hu had never seen before sat at a table not far from him, shook the fire in his hand and extinguished it, and threw it on the table.

"Who are you?" Li Hu turned over and rolled behind the bed, pointing the short knife at the young man.

The young man smiled and said, "Master Li Zhai, do you remember that I said that I would fight you to the death today?" I'm coming! ”

"Are you Chao Chong?" Li Hu was shocked, how did he get in? Didn't he sneak attack his own Dahao Water Village? I should be in Ohori right now.

Chao Chong smiled and said, "Yes, it's me!" ”

Li Hu was shocked and angry: "You despicable villain, killed my messenger, and lied to me that I was going to fight a decisive battle at sea in the morning, but you went to attack my Dazhai!" How dare you call yourself a hero? ”

Chao Chong smiled: "Really? Did I say that? ”

"You said it!" Li Hu shouted loudly. He hoped that his loud voice would bring in the guards outside the door.

Chao Chong laughed and said, "You must have heard it wrong, I mean today's decisive battle and take your life." But fortunately, it's not too late, there is still half an hour before midnight, enough for me to kill you dozens of times. ”

Li Hu saw that Chao Chong didn't care about the guards outside the door, and then listened to the shouts and killings outside, and a bad feeling came to his heart, could it be that he had fallen for this guy's plan again! In a panic, he moved to the door and asked, "You, how did you get in?" ”

Chao Chong walked over with a smile, pressing step by step, snatching the short knife from Li Hu's hand and throwing it on the ground casually. Li Hu stared blankly at the short knife in his hand and disappeared in an instant, and before he could react, he was choked by the neck and dragged out of the door.

Chao Chong pinched Li Hu to the door, looking at the shaking lampball torches in the wooden village, and the chaotic village was full of slashing sounds. The water village outside was also shouted and killed.

Finished! It's all over! This was Li Hu's thoughts.

Chao Chong didn't rush to kill Li Hu, but wanted him to watch all his foundation collapse in front of him, destroying all the hard work he had poured into his life! Seeing Li Hu's desperate expression, Chao Chao Chong showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth.

After Chao Chong broke through the Dahao Water Village and rescued Chao Wei and Uncle Quan, he quickly looted the gold and silver belongings in the Water Village, and then set it on fire.

After resting for an hour to eat and drink, the soldiers split into two routes.

All the way is Chao Chong and Li Kui, Bao Xu, Zhou Tong, Yu Baosi, a group of five people crossed the mountain again and returned to the Black Mountain Shrine from the land.

On the other hand, Ruan Xiaowu and Huang Xin led nearly 100 soldiers to take a boat in Dahao Water Village and set off from the waterway.

Chao Chong's five people were much faster, and they returned to the Black Mountain Water Village before dark and found Ruan Xiaoqi, who had fled into the mountains as planned. Everyone put on the prepared iron armor, temporarily hid in the mountain, and at midnight, sneaked into the stone house in the wooden village from the secret passage, and first stunned Li Hu with ecstasy incense. Then Li Kui, Bao Xu, Zhou Tong, Yu Baosi, Ruan Xiaoqi and 50 soldiers came out of the secret passage, carried out a large amount of oil, sulfur and other materials, entered the wooden village to set fire, and wantonly pursued and killed.

The fleet led by Ruan Xiaowu and Huang Xin first returned to Xiaoshan Island to gather, and at midnight, they saw that the Black Mountain Water Village was on fire, and hurriedly set off, with 100 soldiers and three sea boats, attacking the Water Village from the sea, completely blocking the enemy's retreat.

Xu Liang had a sweet dream all night, in which he returned to Dengzhou, was recommended by the prefect to enter Beijing, and met the old lady Cai Jing, who saw that he was a talent, mighty and majestic, and recognized himself as a righteous son.

The old eunuch Tong Guan also came to scold himself, and he had to marry the godgirl and the child Jiaoxiu to himself. Tong Jiaoxiu is certainly one of the top ten beauties in Beijing, but she is a family person, how can she agree? So he carelessly refused, and said that if he was a concubine, he could still consider it!

The most hateful thing in the world is that before the dream ends, he was woken up, Xu Liang opened his mouth and was about to scold, when he suddenly felt a cold neck and fell into darkness in front of him.

Bao Xu dragged his six-foot mourning sword, glanced at the bearded man who fell to the ground, and said in his heart: "Brother Li didn't kill this guy last time, but let me pick up a bargain!" ”

Chao Chong grabbed Li Hu's neck and watched from the door of the stone house until the end of the battle. More than 200 sailors in Dahao Shuizhai were either killed or captured, because the Shuizhai was blocked by Ruan Xiaowu and Huang Xin, and not even a single boat could escape.

Seeing that the overall situation had been decided, Chao Chong said to Li Hu, whose face was purple: "You are just a lake, but your heart is bigger than the sea!" If you have to get involved in something you don't deserve, you can only end up with the Liu brothers. It's going to be midnight soon, and I'm going to have to fulfill my promise to you. ”

"Rao, spare your life......" Li Hu whimpered.

Chao Chong shook his head: "I am a man of my word, saying that if I want to fight with you today to live and die, I must divide life and death!" It's a pity that it's you who died! ”

After speaking, he let go of Li Hu, pulled out the knife from behind, and beheaded him with a knife.

With Li Hu's head, it is very useful for recruiting those Dahao sailors. Seeing Li Hu's head sad, he must be killed; The mini-boss must be killed. The rest can be differentiated and utilized.

Ordered people to extinguish the fire, count the casualties, and straighten out the ship, and worked all night, everyone was very tired, but Li Kui and their faces were still full of excitement.

Chao Wei and Uncle Quan returned to Muzhai and saw the heads of Liu Wu, Liu Qi, and Li Hu, and their hearts were excited. The troubles that I had been troubled for two months were solved one by one with the arrival of the young master.

After the rectification was completed, Chao Chong selected the sailors who were willing to join and formed four teams. Ruan Xiaowu, Ruan Xiaoqi, Huang Xin, and Chao Wei each had 50 men under their command, with a total of 200 troops.

More than six seagoing ships of 500 stone were seized, and countless other small boats were seized. The sea route has been unblocked, and the conditions are already ready to go away.

What's next?

Chao Chong gathered everyone together to discuss countermeasures. Pei Xuan and He Changyan also attended.

More than 50,000 taels of gold and silver were looted from the Black Mountain Water Village and the Dahao Water Village, which amounted to more than 100,000 yuan, and if the money was transported back to Liangshan, it would be enough for a year's military salary on the mountain.

There are also 2,000 spears, 2,000 steel knives, and 100 sets of iron armor, if they can be transported back to Liangshan, it will definitely greatly improve Liangshan's military strength.

The question is, how to get it? Where to go ashore?

Ruan Xiaowu is not familiar with the sea, so they can't make good suggestions at all. Only Chao Wei proposed, after some thought: "Now Dengzhou must have been under martial law, and the smuggling channels have been cut off; There are officers and soldiers stationed in the Bosi Division of Qingzhou City, and it is difficult to land; I can't say it, I can only go north to Cangzhou! ”

Chao Chong thought about it, and it was indeed the only way to do it. Although it seems that the Great Black Mountain Island has been unified now, because of the large number of kills and wounds of officers and soldiers, it can no longer stay here, otherwise once the Dengzhou Navy Division arrives, with the rabble of the patchwork under his command, the whole army will be wiped out and buried in the belly of the fish.

At this time, He Changyan came out and said: "The big boss wants to go north to Cangzhou, this is indeed a clever move. But what happens after that? Has the big boss ever considered it? ”

He Changyan has been an official for many years, and he has such an opportunity to attend, if he doesn't take the opportunity to show his talent, he will be punished by God!

In his opinion, except for Chao Chong, the big leader, who has some skills and is unfathomable, everyone else is not worth mentioning. Falling into a den of thieves and wanting to clean themselves, nerds have such naïve thoughts! Now that you have boarded the thief ship, you have to try your best to climb up, in case you recruit in the future, you can also clear yourself and get a good position.

Chao Chong looked at He Changyan and said, "What does Mr. think, say it and listen!" ”

After He Changyan saluted Chao Chong, he said: "My Great Song Shui Division has 50,000 personnel from south to north. The troops were mainly stationed in the coastal towns to fight the pirates and protect the trade routes. The deployment of the naval division was focused on the south, and there were only two armies north of Shandong, namely the 1,500-man Jingjun of Dengzhou; Cangzhou Town Navy 500 establishment. That's why I said that it was a good move for the big boss to go north, and the further north he went, the weaker the navy became! ”

Chao Chong was puzzled: "I didn't think about it that much. It's just that the north borders with Liao, why is the naval strength not increasing, but weakening more and more? ”

He Changyan said: "The Great Song Dynasty has never liked to fight, and the Liao State Navy is weak, almost nothing. If our Great Song Dynasty Naval Division is heavily armed on the front line of Cangzhou, it will definitely make the Liao State nervous, and it may increase the annual tribute of our Great Song Dynasty, so the closer the Great Song Dynasty is to the border of the Liao State, the smaller the strength of the Naval Division. ”

"Bastard logic!" Chao Chong snorted coldly: "The imperial court is afraid that the Liao Kingdom has reached such a point! ”

Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi also listened to the indignation, a country is so cowardly, where is there still the majesty of the Han people!

Although He Changyan was forced to join the team of thieves, he still thought that he was a great Song courtier in his heart, and when he heard Chao Chong criticize the court so much, his face changed, and he hurriedly changed the topic and said: "The strength of the northern sailors is weak, but it provides us with convenience. If things are urgent, they can escape into the waters of Liao, and the Great Song Dynasty sailors dare not catch up. It can be said that you can attack and retreat! ”

Chao Chong said: "This is exactly what I want. ”

Chao Wei also said: "Cangzhou Sailor is weak, and there is also a small smuggling port there, from where we can go ashore and transport the goods back to Liangshan by land!" ”

Chao Chong nodded and said, "It's feasible!" ”

He Changyan said: "Our trip to the north will be as short as five or six days, and if the wind is not smooth, it will take seven or eight days." If it is chased by the Dengzhou Naval Division, it is quite dangerous. The villain is willing to offer a plan to resolve the crisis! ”

Chao Chong said: "What's the plan? ”

He Changyan shook his head and said: "The golden cicada's plan to get out of its shell!" ”

Chao Chong smiled: "Let's talk about it!" ”

He Changyan said: "Not far from here is Salmon Island, which is the place where felons are exiled, and about 800 people serve their sentences all year round. If it is breached, and the prisoners scatter and flee, the world will be shaken! The governor of Dengzhou was afraid of being dismissed; Chen Xin, the general of the Dengzhou Navy Division, will also be affected. In order to make amends, they need at least ten days to search for the escaped prisoners, and they can't take care of us! Use the sin of Salmon Island to get rid of the golden cicada, and use the prisoners on the island to buy time. That's the villain's plan! ”

Chao Chong applauded and laughed: "Sir's brilliant plan! ”

He Changyan was praised, his heart was happy, and he secretly looked at Pei Xuan, who had a black face on the side, and was proud in his heart. How can a six-case Confucius compare with a person from my Jinshi background!

The details were then discussed. Chao Chong made corresponding arrangements. He ordered Ruan Xiaowu, Ruan Xiaoqi, Huang Xin, and Chao Wei to lead 200 men to fill the six large ships they were riding with supplies, enough food and water, and gold, silver, and ordnance to load the ships. Behind the big boat, more than 30 small boats will march to Salmon Island early tomorrow morning to release the prisoners there.

As for the wounded officers and soldiers and the captives of Dahao Water Village, there were more than 200 people, and Chao Chong decided to let them stay on the island to fend for themselves. Since he refused to join him, Chao Chong had no obligation to take care of their lives and deaths.

Early the next morning, everyone boarded the boat and set off for Salmon Island, with a group of small boats dragged behind six large boats, which looked quite funny.

Salmon Island was only an hour's journey from the Black Mountain Water Village, and when Chao Chong's fleet rushed past, the alarm bell sounded on Salmon Island. It's a pity that there is no danger to defend on Shamen Island, and more than 100 sergeants from the prison camp came out to meet the battle under the leadership of Dong Yu of the camp management, but Chao Chong took the lead in charging and was defeated with one blow.

Born in sorrow, died in peace. Although there are thieves around Salmon Island, they never dare to go to the island, which has caused the people on Salmon Island to be closed, arrogant, and cowardly. The sergeants of those prison camps were accustomed to acting as a prestige, and it was okay to abuse the prisoners, but if they really wanted to see the blood in hand-to-hand combat, they immediately wilted.

After rescuing the prisoners, Guan Ying Dong Yu was quickly chopped into meat by the hateful prisoners.

Many of the prisoners begged Chao Chong to take them in, because although the officers and soldiers on the island were dead, they had no ships to go to sea, and they would be trapped on this isolated island.

Chao Chong only selected sixty people from among them, and then led the people to board the big boat, left more than thirty small boats on the shore, and set sail.

When the prisoners saw that there were still thirty small boats left on the shore, they frantically scrambled for their lives, and everyone showed their abilities for their lives.

But none of this has anything to do with Chao Chong. Sixty people were selected from the island, of which fifty were under the management of Pei Xuan, assisted by He Changyan.

Chao Chong gathered ten medical skills and put them under the management of Qian Yi, a pediatrician. Qian Yi's medical skills and management level are not important, what Chao Chong values is his "love" characteristic. This should be the most important thing for a physician.

All the way to the north, Chao Chong's fleet did not encounter pursuit. It seems that the prefect of Dengzhou and the general of the naval division are very busy.
