Therefore, Cai Dao asked Hua Xuanqi to take his brothers who were quite sound to Luliang Mountain on Hedong Road.

Luliang Mountain is the second barrier in the west of Hedong Road, and the land here is also relatively barren, and naturally there are many bandits. But this is not a major transportation route, at the junction of Shanxi and Shanxi, all the private transactions between the two roads are concentrated in Fengyi County and Hezhong Mansion in the south. Therefore, even the Luliang Mountains have several sections like the Taihang Mountains, but because of the Yellow River, these mountains have lost their role as channels.

It is only for this reason that the bandits in the Luliang Mountains are very poor, and there are basically no big cottages.

And the target of Hua Qiqi is Guandi Mountain in the middle of the Luliang Mountains.

Just for the name of this mountain, it is worth building a large cottage. Cai Dao also gave this cottage a resounding name in advance - Lion Village. In fact, it is the ancient name of the lion, there is no lion in China, all of them are offered to the emperor by ancient foreign countries.

In order to be able to completely integrate the bandits in the Luliang Mountains and attract more people to join, at that time, Cai Dao deliberately sent his two capable officers, Cai Lanling and Cai Yinghua, to assist Hua Xianyi in establishing the Lion Village.

Originally, in Cai Dao's plan, he wanted Hua Xianqi to level this big village and use it for all the bandits in the Luliang Mountains to establish his authority. However, after I went, I realized that the owner of the village of this gang of thieves actually recognized Hua Qiyi, or an old brother of this father's generation. He and the Hua family are still good friends, and he even hugged Hua Qiyi when he was a child!

At the beginning, Hua Qianyi's father died on the battlefield in the war between the Renzong Dynasty and the Western Xia, and his old brother was lucky not to die, but was captured by the Western Xia because of his injury. After he recovered from his injuries, he gathered a group of brothers and found an opportunity to escape back, but suddenly found that he had no home to return to.

It turned out that the rulers of the imperial court naturally did not care about the life and death of their pawns, as long as they were missing on the battlefield, whether they were captured or fell into the water, their bones were all lost. If these people return suddenly, they all belong to the ranks of spies.

As a result, one of the brothers returned home and did not believe in this evil, and after returning home, he was arrested within a few days, and the whole family was punished as a spy.

In the end, he ended up in Guandi Mountain and became a bandit.

Hua Xianqi did not stand up at this time, but recognized an elder, and was finally recruited by this elder as a son-in-law, and became the master of Guandi Mountain without blood. Since the family is good, the old owner of the village married his only daughter to Hua Qianyi. Even if a cottage woman is handsome, then you don't expect her to be knowledgeable and reasonable, and the female celebrity is superior.

According to Cai Yinghua's report, the new daughter-in-law of Hua Xianyi is a heroine among women, and she has done a lot of kung fu. Cai Dao asked Cai Lanling's opinion, and Cai Lanling said that he was not the opponent of this woman. Cai Dao knew that after Cai Lanling arrived in the Great Song Dynasty, he had practiced equestrianism hard, but he was good at neon knives and not good at long weapons, so there was nothing to be ashamed of being inferior to a woman.

Fortunately, there are not many valuable things in the Luliang Mountains, but there are many notorious thieves, and there are more targets that can be used to establish power.

After that, with the assistance of Cai Lanling and Cai Yinghua, Hua Xuanyi, a foolish thing, used a very small price and a very short time to destroy several notorious cottages in the local area one after another, as well as a few cottage owners who refused to surrender but spoke wildly. During this period, Hua Xianqi killed a lot of people, and received more people, and in a short period of time, the lion village became a large village of more than 3,000 people.

As a result, all the thieves who can be called in the entire Luliang Mountains have recognized the chief scoop of Hua Xuanyi, and the owners of each village have also personally visited the lion village to meet the new leader among the thieves in the Luliang Mountains.

As for those remote cottages with a small number of people, they are basically composed of mountain people, who are usually for the people, and when they are in distress, they are thieves, and the cottages that cause less harm to the local area, according to Cai Dao's instructions, Hua Xianqi ignored them.

At this time, the subordinates of the cottage owners and lion villagers who were forced to submit to the flower and the fox found that the results were actually much better than they imagined. Because, not only do they have money in their hands, they can get better weapons, but they can also get food. Food is the lifeblood of the imperial court, not to mention those cottages in the Luliang Mountains.

That's their God!

That's their fate!

So, what even Cai Dao didn't expect was that after some mountain people and bandits who were originally hidden in the mountains got the news, they abandoned their original cottages one after another, and all gathered in Guandi Mountain, wanting to join the lion village.

For Cai Dao's instructions to them, the more the better, but Cai Dao also formulated a very strict containment system and rewards and punishments for the Lion Village, as well as the rules that those subordinate cottages need to strictly abide by.

These contents, first of all, are aimed at those subordinate cottages, those who recognize the status of the flowers, but are unwilling to give up their own cottages, the lion village at most is to regard them as temporary allies, and use starvation methods to provide them with food on a regular basis, neither let them eat too much, nor let them starve to death because of this. As for other important supplies, it takes money to buy them.

For example, all kinds of sophisticated weapons, as long as you have money, Cai Dao can get them from Western Xia, Great Song, and Great Liao.

However, Cai Dao set a major premise in this, that is, once they get the grain, they can't privately rob the rations of those ordinary people, and they are not allowed to kill the local people.

If there is any violation, they will be punished together.

Of course, if any cottage had the courage to attack the estates of the wealthy families in the countryside, the flower would even provide them with weapons and food for war.

Although this condition made the owners of other cottages unconvinced, they did not dare to continue to cause trouble in the township. In the space of a few months, the security around the Luliang Mountains has suddenly improved.

Of course, this is not how jealous and hateful they are, but they were originally forced to go to Liangshan by those rich families, and were forced to ruin by those rich landlords, even if they became the leader of the bandits, they still had no way and strength to take revenge. This time, with the support of Hua Qiqi behind them, the three village owners took this opportunity to destroy the enemies of the two of them.

For a while, it also made the rich families in the west of Hedong Road a little uneasy. Fortunately, after that, they reined in their actions. The surrounding area has calmed down for a while.

Guandi Mountain is relatively close to Taiyuan, and the Dazhai of 3,000 people is already eye-catching, but now that so many people have poured in, Hua Xianqi feels that it doesn't matter, but the old village owner knows that it will definitely attract the attention of Taiyuan Mansion if it goes on like this, and if it attracts the forbidden army to encircle and suppress them, it will be very bad.

After he told Hua Xuanyi, he summoned several leaders to discuss the matter, and Cai Lanling gave a very reliable suggestion, that is, to place the new arrivals in the current village, and they led their henchmen to the west foot of Guandi Mountain to re-establish a large village.

The grain in Hua Xuanyi's hands was naturally transported by Cai Dao by ship through the Yellow River, so protecting the safety of ships in the territory of Hedong Road will become the top priority in the future. What's more, once the main force of Lion Village is close to the Yellow River, as long as the Yellow River does not freeze, they can take a boat to support Cai Dao's actions at any time. When Cai Dao did not summon them, he could also train the navy in the Yellow River in batches.

After all, if these landlubbers are not usually used to riding on the boat, once the matter is urgent, even if they get on the boat, they will become soft-footed shrimp.

Just when Hua Xianqi was training in the Yellow River with great interest, on this day, Cai Lanling, who had always seen the head and the end of the dragon, suddenly came to the lion village again.
