No. 299 Suppressing Bandits 4
Zhang Long patted his chest vigorously and said loudly: "Bang! Daochang Cai, you say, no matter what the conditions, we will definitely agree. ”
"That's good! Zhang Long, you took your subordinates and surrendered the largest cottage in Taihang Mountain to Poor Dao. Are you sure? After Cai Dao finished speaking, he looked at the other party's big red face playfully.
Cai Dao's condition is really too difficult, Taihang Bashan, there will be a few relatively powerful bandits on the nearby hills of each traffic artery. And the bandits are naturally most afraid that the government will send troops to exterminate them, so their cottages are often built in places that are easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Not to mention the old and weak remnants under Zhang Long, who have never eaten a full meal, even the regular forbidden army has arrived in Taihang Mountain, and if they want to exterminate one of the big cottages, they have to pay an extremely painful price. What's more, Cai Dao also asked for the largest cottage.
"Cai Daochang, this ......, I ......" For a while, Zhang Long didn't know how to reply to Cai Dao's condition.
"Humph! Big brother, you shouldn't believe this doll's words. If it really doesn't work, you and my brother will immediately rob that bastard's house, and it's a big deal to change the mountain afterwards. At this moment, a group of people suddenly came out from behind this group of bandits, and it was the big man who was the leader of this group of people who spoke just now.
Compared with Zhang Longlai in front of him, this guy is not tall, with a bare head, a pair of ringed eyes staring at Cai Dao, a bloody mouth, and a beard with sideburns and cheeks. He didn't see it clearly when he was far away, but as he gradually walked in, Cai Dao suddenly found that although this guy was not dressed well, he did look like a robe made of tiger skin.
If this is put aside in the future, Cai Dao will have to report this wanton abuse and killing of national special protected animals.
By the way, Cai Dao also found that if it weren't for the fact that the other party was too white, he really thought that Zheng Heihu's guy was alive again.
This guy is undoubtedly what Zhang Long just said about his brother Zhao Hu, Cai Ban and Cai Bucket immediately clenched the weapons in their hands after seeing him, and recovered from the state of being a little lax just now.
"Ahh Don't be rude! Zhang Long knew that it was Zhang Hu who was coming when he heard the voice, but he did not get up from the ground, but continued to kneel on the ground, stretched out an arm and tightly grabbed the tiger skin robe on Zhao Hu's body.
Zhang Long and Zhao Hu are brothers, so they naturally know his temper, for fear that he will annoy Cai Dao, so he took the lead to control Zhao Hu.
"Big brother, you ......"
Zhao Hu just wanted to say something, but was interrupted by someone who said something, so he heard Cai Dao ask, "Zhang Long, how are you thinking about it?" ”
"Cai Daochang, please forgive the small incompetence, you may not know that there are so many cottages in Taihang Mountain, but how can the largest cottage not be able to surrender to the small ones. It's just that I and my brothers have all been spelled out, and I can't even get close to the door of the cottage! Zhang Long thought about it, there was really no way but to tell the truth.
After hearing this, Cai Dao nodded, and said with satisfaction: "Hmm! Yes, your character, poor Tao is very appreciative, in addition to knowing filial piety, the most important thing is a letter, if you can't do it, you can't do it, there's nothing to be embarrassed about? If you know that you are not capable, you can make up for your shortcomings by learning and accumulating knowledge and experience by doing things. ”
"is worthy of being the child of a literati, and he has a pair of sharp teeth. Who wouldn't say big things! But can you do it yourself? Zhao Hu was so stretched by Zhang Long's arm that he couldn't move, so he had to hold his arm and watch from the side, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but sneer.
"Tsk...... Tut! Cai Dao made several smacks in his mouth, and with an extremely disdainful expression on his face, he said: "So, you thieves have no culture, no knowledge, and can't understand people's words. ”
"You rabbit, who doesn't understand people! We don't have a bit of heroism, do you have it? Zhao Hu was so angry by Cai Dao's ghostly appearance that he couldn't wait to step forward and tear him alive.
Cai Dao gave his own answer: "Poor Dao asked Zhang Long to surrender the largest cottage in Taihang Mountain, not very clearly, but for me." In my name, of course. Zhang Long, you send someone to the location of the cottage, shoot them an arrow book, and inform them of the meaning of the poor road. As for the leader, the leader of the other side will not submit to the poor way. That's the poor one's own business. If the poor way is just a person who speaks loudly, what is the point of you just following it? ”
This made everyone stunned for a while, and Zhao Hu was even more choked and speechless.
"Daochang Cai, are you telling the truth?" When Zhang Long heard Cai Dao's words, he was overjoyed in his heart and hurriedly confirmed.
Cai Dao didn't bother to reply to this question, and Cai Ban replied dissatisfiedly: "Hmph! When my son-in-law speaks, spitting is a nail, and he has always done what he said. ”
"In that case, what is the purpose of writing letters and archery? It's not enough to send someone to negotiate in the past, and shooting arrows into other people's cottages will seem to be insincere. Zhao Hu interjected at this time.
Cai Daogang wanted to say something back, but when he saw Zhao Hu's appearance, he swallowed the words back in his mouth again. Therefore, he did not express his position on this matter, but looked at Zhang Long.
"Daochang Cai, since you have ordered it like this, the little one will send someone to Taihang Village to negotiate." Zhang Long agreed to Cai Dao's condition, however, listening to the meaning of his words, he was still more inclined to send someone to negotiate, and the archery book was indeed a bit provocative, and then he just wanted to tell his subordinates to go: "Xiao Jiu, you ......"
This Xiao Jiu is the nephew who helped Zhang Long out of the siege just now, as soon as Cai Dao saw that Zhang Long was referring to him, he interrupted Zhang Long's words again and said: "Zhang Long, since this idea is Zhao Hu's idea, there should be someone from his side to negotiate." Otherwise, you'll have to listen to me, or archery is the best. "This Zhang Jiu in front of him is a talent, Cai Dao didn't want to send him into the fire pit, so he pointed the finger at Zhao Hu.
"Pai is pie!" Zhao Hu stiffened his neck, replied, and casually pointed to one of his subordinates and arranged for him to go to Taihang Village to negotiate.
Taihang Village is the largest and oldest gang of thieves in Taihang Bashan. It is not in Taihang, but in the fifth of the eight Taihang, that is, Jingcheng. This is not only the famous place of Han Xin's last battle, but also an important place for the Hundred Regiments Battle of General Peng in later generations. If the terrain is dangerous, Jingcheng may not be the most dangerous of the eight mountains, but it belongs to the three regardless of the location, and it is particularly close to the northern Kyushu of the Liao State.
Therefore, Taihang Village has never been exterminated or surrendered by the Great Song Dynasty, and its history can even be traced back to the Huangchao Uprising at the end of the Tang Dynasty. Of course, Taihangzhai is just a group of bandits and robbers, not an emperor, and a hereditary replacement system like father to son, son to grandson. In this period of history, there have also been several periods of firefighting in the cottage and being seized by other forces.
It's just that they are the only group of bandits in the Great Song Dynasty who have never succumbed to the Great Song Kingdom and the Great Liao Kingdom.
After Cai Dao saw Zhang Long, he suddenly thought that since there are bandits from Taihang Mountain who have come to defect to him, it is better to integrate all the robbers and bandits in Hedong Road and Hebei together, kill those who should be killed, kill those who are not satisfied, and transform those who can be transformed. However, Cai Dao did not want these people to accept the recruitment of the Great Song Dynasty in the future, but transported them overseas by ship to open up their own territory.
However, Cai Dao did not tell Zhang Long and Zhao Hu directly about this matter, they seem to want to take refuge in themselves now, but that is just an attitude after they heard the rumors, and they are not convinced.
Therefore, Cai Dao wants to use cruel facts to tell them that anyone who underestimates himself and does not trust himself will have to pay the price of blood.
