Chapter 55: Occupy Erlong Mountain

Chao Chong led the Thunder Eight people to rush for four or five days, and finally arrived at the foot of Erlong Mountain, and saw a newly built four or five thatched huts outside Caojiazhuang, with a big "wine" word erected outside, thinking that it was a newly opened hotel, Chao Chong and his party of nine people entered the country hotel, and when they raised their eyes, they saw Cao Zheng's wife, Cao, who was greeting guests in the house.

Cao Zheng's wife also recognized Chao Chong, and after being surprised, she hurriedly asked the shopkeeper to find Cao Zheng in the back kitchen, and everyone went to the quiet house together, came up with wine and food, and talked while eating.

Chao Chong said: "Farewell to Tokyo, more than half a year, how is Brother Cao lately?" Is Brother Lin Chong's family good? ”

Cao Zheng poured a bowl of wine for Chao Chong and said, "Fortunately, thanks to the help of Chao brothers, my master's family was able to reunite. Although the family is a little angry on Liangshan, at least they don't have to be afraid of being wanted by the government, and it's okay. Master often mentioned to me that he wanted to thank you in person, but now that he is a thief, he does not dare to involve you, so he has to keep his gratitude in his heart. Come, I will have a bowl of Jingchao brothers and brothers on behalf of my teacher! ”

Everyone tilted their necks and drank a bowl of wine.

Cao Zheng filled the house one by one.

Li Kui, a person who is easy to show, told Dongfang Xiao, Wu Song, Shen Tulie, and Shi Qian about the story of them following Chao Chong to make trouble in Tokyo last year, beheading Gao Yanei, and cutting off one of Gao Yu's ears. Li Kui himself also killed seven in and seven out of the city, wait, wait.

The crowd listened with relish and applauded.

After a few bowls of wine, Cao Zheng said: "There is a villain like Wang Lun in Liangshan, and it is not a place for heroes to stay at all." After I sent my mother's family, I left quickly, and I used to get a few hundred taels of silver from King Chao, so I opened a hotel, and I also had some cooking skills, enough to support my family. Brother Chao came this time, why did he come? ”

Chao Chong smiled: "I'm here for Erlong Mountain this time, I want to occupy the mountain as the king, what does Brother Cao think?" ”

Cao Zheng thought that Chao Chong was joking, Chao Chong's family is rich, food and clothing are worry-free, and he has a great future, how can he do that thief and lose his head, so he also smiled: "Brother Chao, don't be joking, how can there be a dignitary side who occupies the mountain as the king." ”

Chao Chong shook his head and said, "I didn't finish laughing, I brought these heroes here, but I didn't play around." Does Brother Cao know the scene on Erlong Mountain, is it still barren? ”

Cao Zheng saw that Chao Chong didn't look like a fake, and then looked at Lei Ting and these heroes, all of them were fierce, and I was afraid that they were really not outings, so he also said seriously: "Brother really wants to be like this? Is this a sin of killing the head? ”

Chao Chong said: "If today, traitors are in charge, the house is full of moths, and it is difficult to maintain a good house, not to mention my generation of high-rollers. If you want to be mediocre in your life, you can die of old age. But we, the sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes, are happy to take revenge, how can we be willing to fight back and scold and be good citizens in that world? If I were to choose, even if I was like a tiger for a day, it would be better than a pig and a dog's nest for a lifetime. If Brother Cao wants to live in peace, after today, you and I will no longer know each other, so as not to implicate ......"

Cao Zheng hurriedly got up, spilled the wine bowl in front of him, and hurriedly said: "Brother Chao is my like-minded friend, and he is also a benevolent father who is kind to me and my teacher." If I alienate my brother for fear of being implicated, then what kind of person am I? Isn't it really better to be a pig or a dog? ”

Chao Chong straightened the wine bowl in front of Cao Zheng, asked Chao Yang to refill it for him, and said: "Brother Cao is serious, you have a happy family, and I don't want you to fall into the grass." ”

Cao Zheng raised his hand and said: "I, Cao Zhengkong, have all my skills, but I can only settle in a rural village to be the owner of a hotel." It's not that I don't want to fall into the grass, it's just because that Liangshan Bo Wang Lun is really not the appearance of the master, he is tricky and mean, and the grass is even more aggrieved, so I went home. Now that Brother Chao wants to pull up the banner, I, Cao Zheng, am willing to be a ponytail and do my part! ”

After Chao Chong laughed loudly, he accepted Cao Zheng to join.

After that, Cao Zheng talked about the current situation in Erlong Mountain, since the Chao Heavenly King killed the dragon Rulai more than a year ago, the golden-eyed tiger Deng Long fled, and the bandits in Erlong Mountain were also scattered. But two months ago, the golden-eyed tiger Deng Long recovered from his injuries and came back from the mountains, and soon recruited six or seven hundred minions to continue to rob homes and houses, causing trouble. Cao Zheng also suffered from it.

Chao Chong sneered: "I let this thief escape last time, and this time it will take his life." ”

After that, everyone discussed the way to seize the cottage, Lei Ting, Li Kui shouted to kill, and Chao Yang and Chao Sheng, who participated in the last battle to seize the mountain, suggested outwitting, because the terrain of Erlong Mountain is too dangerous, and the three passes can not be taken by force.

In the end, Cao Zheng came up with a plan, Deng Long has been recruiting troops and horses now, recruiting heroes, so Cao Zheng suggested that he is a local and has contacts with the mountain, and he recommends some people to go up the mountain, and Erlong Mountain will definitely accept it. Then suddenly attacked, kill Deng Long first, those newly recruited minions are not very loyal, and they will not dare to resist. In this way, Erlong Mountain can be easily taken.

Chao Chong nodded in approval. Then it was decided that Dongfang Xiao, Wu Song, and Shen Tu Lie, three people with strong martial arts and a new face, would follow Cao Zheng up the mountain.

Chao Chong led the others to wait for the good news at the bottom of the mountain.

The whole process was lackluster, Cao Zheng took Dongfang Xiao, Wu Song, and Shen Tulie up the mountain, pretending to take refuge, and after seeing the golden-eyed tiger Deng Long, he suddenly became difficult, Wu Song stepped forward and stabbed Deng Long in two.

Dongfang Xiao and Shen Tulie also attacked together, like two fierce tigers entering the sheepfold, several cronies around Deng Long were all killed, and Cao Zheng shouted loudly, "Come and surrender, if you don't obey, we still have people and horses under the mountain, and we will all correct the law!" ”

All the minions had just gone up the mountain, without the restraint of Deng Long and those henchmen, they were all like headless flies, at a loss, and heard Cao Zheng shouting, the three big men were majestic, all came over to surrender, and the battle of Erlong Mountain was decided.

After Chao Chong went up the mountain, he counted the number of minions on the mountain, silver taels, and grain storage, and obtained 600 minions, more than 50 gold and silver utensils, 500 taels of silver, and 300 stones of coarse grain.

Chao Chong called the thunder and them to the Baozhu Temple together, and divided the labor among the people.

According to 10 people, set up 1 person;

5 teams, 50 people per team, 1 team leader;

5 teams are the capital, each with 250 people, with 1 head of the capital, 1 head of the coach, and 1 Yuhou.

In this way, the mountain is exactly made into two capitals.

The duties of the military are mainly divided into five parts, one is "training soldiers," the second is "supervising military discipline," the third is "taking care of soldiers," the fourth is "coordinating contradictions," and the fifth is "commanding operations."

In the military, the chief is responsible for the system, and the head of the army is fully responsible, but there is also a bias, and he is mainly responsible for commanding operations.

The head of the sect is the second-in-command in the army, and is mainly responsible for the two responsibilities of "training soldiers" and "supervising military discipline".

Yu Hou is the third in command in the army, mainly responsible for "taking care of the soldiers" and "coordinating contradictions" two responsibilities, the soldiers' clothing, food, housing, transportation, study culture, ideological education, contradictions and disputes, are all handled by him, in the proverb, is to pretend to be a good person, singing red face.

Dutou, Jiaotou, and Yu Hou form a leading group, and Dutou has absolute authority in his own team, and the Jiaotou and Yu Hou assist Dutou in managing the army, and when Dutou is killed or wounded, he acts as a substitute to command the battle.

After listening to Chao Chong's explanation, everyone was looking forward to what kind of position they would get next.

Chao Chong then announced:

The first capital, the head of the thunder, the head of the sect Dongfang Xiao, Yuhou Cao Zheng.

Thunder, as his absolute confidant, is also strong in martial arts, and as the head of the first capital, no one has an opinion. Dongfang Xiao has always been grouped with Thunder, and he was born in the army, so he is also very suitable as a coach.

Cao Zhengze was a little surprised, as soon as he joined, he was grateful, but also a little worried, because there were still six Chao Chong's henchmen who did not have positions, but he took one first, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Chao Chong comforted him and said: "The Marquis Yu we have set is not the same as the Marquis Yu called in the official army. The marquis of the government is just a fictitious position, no duties, no rights, just an empty name. But our Marquis Yu is responsible for all aspects of the soldiers, the soldiers have difficulties and need your help, the soldiers have contradictions and need you to solve them, the soldiers have requirements and need you to teach. Therefore, this position, which is equivalent to the duties of parents at home, requires a person with a kind and stable personality to take on it. If Tie Niu is allowed to do this, the soldiers have contradictions, and Tie Niu may be troublesome, so he will arrest the soldiers on both sides and beat them up first. ”

Everyone laughed after hearing this, and Cao Zheng also settled down in his heart.

Because Cao Zheng participated in Chao Chong's Tokyo plan, he traveled all the way with Thunder and fought together, so it was also a good choice to let Cao Zheng, who has a gentle personality and resourcefulness, cooperate with Thunder, who has an impatient personality.

Then, Chao Chong announced the appointment of the second capital.

The second capital, the head of Wu Song, the head of the sect Shen Tulie, and the Marquis of Yu, Chaoyang.

Wu Song and Shen Tulie's martial arts are indistinguishable, and the two of them serve as the head and head of the sect respectively, which is just right for the two to continue to compete healthily. Afraid that the two of them would be angry and make trouble, they deliberately let Chao Yang as their lubricant as Yu Hou.

When Wu Song heard that he was the head of the capital and Shen Tulie assisted him, he couldn't help but be taken aback, and secretly glanced at Shen Tulie, secretly rejoicing in his heart.

Chao Chong smiled and said: "Erlang, you are equivalent to Shentu's martial arts, but I chose you to be the head of the second capital, do you know why?" ”

Wu Song said happily: "Naturally, the lord is heavy, and I am a little bit more powerful than that hateful head!" After using it, he compared it with his finger in front of Shen Tulie.

Shen Tu Lie glanced at Wu Song and snorted, "Childish! ”

Wu Song snorted: "If you are a loser, I don't care." ”

Chao Chong said: "That's what I saw just now. I choose you as the head of the capital, and Shentu will not have an opinion, because he is open-minded by nature and does not care about fame and fortune. You can choose Shentu as the head of the capital, and you as the deputy, but your heart may not be calm, because you have not yet broken through the mental barrier of victory and defeat. For the sake of unity, I will let Shentu temporarily grieve for a while, do you understand? ”

"Ahh Wu Song was stunned for a moment, and he was quite ashamed in his heart, he originally thought that he was stronger than Toutuo to be elected as the head of the capital, but who knew that he was accommodated because of his own defects.

Chao Chong was afraid that Wu Song would lose his sharpness, so he comforted: "Erlang and Shentu have their own merits, and the courage of Erlang to move forward and dare to act is exactly the momentum that a leader should have." You and Thunder are like this, they would rather bend than bend, and be brave and diligent. Even if you still have flaws, don't forget that there are brothers behind you, and there are also sect leaders and Yu Hou who are making up for your flaws, so that you have no worries. So, go for it! ”

Lei Ting and Wu Song were inexplicably grateful, knelt down on one knee, hugged their fists and said, "Take your life!" ”

Li Kui saw that they all had positions, and he, Chao Sheng, and Shi Qian were still staring at each other, and said: "Boss Chao, they all have so many army commanders, and I Tie Niu and the little thin monkey have nothing to do!" ”

Chao Chong raised his hand and said, "Don't be impatient, you can't let this iron bull pull the ground!" Chao Sheng alone assembled a 50-person archery team, which you are good at. Directly accountable to me. ”

Chao Sheng happily accepted the order, although he was only a captain, but everyone knew that this archery team belonged directly to Chao Chong, and it would definitely be expanded in the future, so Chao Sheng's status was also at the same level as the leaders of the capital.

Chao Chong said to Shi Qian again: "Shi Qian will select 50 people from the minions to form a confidential team. Dedicated to listening to messages. Brother Yamashita Cao Zheng's hotel will be under your jurisdiction in the future, as a base for intelligence. Directly accountable to me. ”

The time is overjoyed, and he forms a team alone, which shows Chao Chong's attention.

Li Kui shouted again: "What about me? What about me? ”

Chao Chong smiled: "Tie Niu, haven't you heard that heroes always appear last?" The more important it is, the more important it is to appear in the finale? ”

Li Kui was overjoyed and said, "Really? ”

Chao Chong nodded and said, "That's nature." I'm going to have you assemble a leader guard to follow me and keep me safe. You are the captain of the convoy. ”

Li Kui laughed and said, "I know that my duty is the most important. Fifty people, let me pick first! ”

After Li Kui finished speaking, he stared viciously at Lei Ting, Wu Song and the others, as if he didn't let him pick first, and he was going to play with others.

Everyone also laughed, not like him, since it was Chao Chong who wanted to pick the guards, he naturally did his best to pick first.

Chao Chong hurriedly said: "Tie Niu, what nonsense are you talking about." Where did I say fifty people? And we don't have to pick and choose. When they're done, won't there be the rest? It's all up to you! My words count. ”

Thunder, Wu Song, Chao Sheng, and Shi Qian immediately understood what Chao Chong meant. With Chao Chong's martial arts, where do you need someone to protect you! It is clear that everyone will choose the rest of the people and form a team to be responsible for some chores or something. It was only in order to meet Li Kui's request for a good face that he was called the Leader Escort Team.

After everyone got Chao Chong's order to divide the troops, they immediately poured out of the Baozhu Temple, arrived at the platform in the cottage, gathered all the minions, and began a battle to pick troops and grab troops.

In the end, Lei Ting, Wu Song, Chao Sheng, and Shi Qian all selected their own enough manpower and pulled them out for training.

There were only a dozen people left, left alone in the field. The old one has a white beard, the younger one is fourteen or fifteen years old, the thin one blows the bamboo pole, and the weak face is sallow and seems to be terminally ill......

Li Kui looked at the rest of these people, raised his arms and shouted, leading a group of fierce men to rush to the front, and the dream of slashing people was shattered. Angry, he scolded Lei Ting and the others: "You bastards, wait for me!" ……”
