308, Yu deceitful and cunning fox (4)

Liang Min punched and hit, but with a "horn", his fist fell into Qi Niu's palm, Qi Niu just took a slight stride and turned his hand, and Liang Min was pressed to the ground by his twisted arm.

During the whole process, Qi Niu only used one hand.

This scene was very unexpected to everyone, and all the heroes in Li Dayu felt that even if Liang Min was defeated by Qi Niu, he could always support a few Huihe in his hands, but the result was that he was restrained in an instant!

"Mighty Bull Demon King, if it's not a Mighty Bull Demon King, you can't do this!"

"Exactly, exactly, I heard that in the Chuzhou War, the two of them, the Mighty Bull Demon King and the Flower Knife, killed the blood of the mountain of corpses......

After a short silence, there were whispers all around, and Qi Niu's forehead jumped quietly, and it seemed that the nickname "Mighty Bull Demon King" had spread to Liangshan. However, Tian Boguang's guy gave people a nickname, and he didn't end up well, what a "flower knife", it was ridiculous.

"Sure enough, it's Yu Gongzi, if you don't have a brave general like the Mighty Bull Demon King, you can't do this!"

Everyone praised again, Qi Niu let go of his hand and took two steps back, Liang Min's face was flushed, but he was also a straightforward person, and he hugged his fists and said, "I'm not your opponent...... Don't laugh, I can't do it, you can't change anyone! ”

There was a sound of good-natured laughter all around.

Yu Guozhen saw that these men were straightforward, and his heart was also very happy, he hugged his fists: "Yu Guozhen is not a too loud name, although he is lucky in Nanzhili, he is a brother, and he has done something, it is not worth someone to pretend, right?" ”

When everyone saw him humble, they were even more happy, and praised Yu Gongzi one by one for his name. At this moment, a person squeezed out: "Everyone is gone, everyone is gone, Yu Gongzi is here, there is something to find me, everyone disperse first!" ”

The onlookers dispersed one after another, and the man stepped forward, looking four points similar to Li Mingshan, and he was also deeply aware of Yu Guozhen: "The villain is Li Qingshan, who followed Yu Gongzi's letter a few days ago, but I never thought that Yu Gongzi would come so quickly!" ”

Yu Guozhen said: "Things have changed a little, I have to be fast, and I asked Brother Qingshan to lead me to a secluded place." ”

Li Qingshan introduced him into a room, Qi Niu and the others guarded outside the house, Li Mingshan was about to go out, but Yu Guozhen said: "Brother Mingshan also stay here, today's matter is very important, and we are going to discuss it together." ”

Li Qingshan nodded solemnly.

Li Mingshan was a little strange, these days, Yu Guozhen and their Li family had frequent correspondence, and he also knew, but he didn't know the content of the letter at all. He glanced at Yu Guozhen, still surprised by the other party's youthfulness, and then saw Yu Guozhen restrain his smile.

"Brother Qingshan, in your life, you just want to drink wine and eat meat in a big bowl, have you ever been so mixed?"

His first sentence pointed directly at Li Qingshan's heart.

Although Li Qingshan is a fisherman from Liangshanbo, he boasts of his skills and makes friends with heroes from all over the world, so he has to make a career and win the fame of his wife. But he is not the material of the imperial examination, and with what he has done in the past, defecting to the government is at most a mixed errand and arrest. Seeing that he was getting older, but still doing nothing, made him very worried.

"What does Yu Gongzi mean, do you want my brother to work for Yu Gongzi?" He fixed his mind: "Does Gongzi Yu want to be Song Gongming?" ”

"Yu has always disdained Song Jiang, this person betrays his friends to seek glory, only has a small loyalty and righteousness, but he has no heart at all." Yu Guozhen snorted: "Besides, Yu's current career is not comparable to his little boss. ”

"Dare to hear the ambition of Yu Gongzi?"

"The bearded guest of the three in the dust." Yu Guozhen said.

Of course, this is not his real ambition, but for a character like Li Qingshan, if there is no character they are accustomed to to compare, simply telling him that my ambition is to save the country and save the people will only be ridiculed. Even if you don't say it in your mouth, you will inevitably slander in your heart, and the cooperation between the two will come to naught.

Sure enough, when the word "bearded guest" came out, Li Qingshan's eyes widened, he looked Yu Guozhen up and down, and said after a while: "Yu Gongzi wants to build a foundation overseas?" ”

"It's not that we want to build a foundation overseas, but that we have a foundation overseas." Yu Guozhen stared at him: "A radius of 100,000 miles, ruling 100,000 people - in the eighth year of Chongzhen, I joined forces with the Zheng family to transport 100,000 people from Nanzhili, of which my family got 40,000 people, and this year I cooperated with the Zheng family to transport another 70,000 people." ”

Yu Guozhen said the truth, not to mention last year, this year's victory in Nanzhili, he has a new harvest: Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong's chaotic people. Most of these people have been coerced by the two in the past two years, and they come from different origins, most of them are from the south of the river and the north of the lake, and they are neither habitual bandits nor good citizens. Shi Kefa and Zhang Guowei had no interest in relocating them, so they naturally "sold" them all to Yu Guozhen, and one person exchanged them for two stones of rice.

And this time, Yu Guozhen himself was prepared, and at the price of five taels of silver per person, he hired the Zheng family's fleet to transport it. There were more than 40,000 people last time, and the Zheng family has not been completely settled until now, and they have no interest in this group of people, so most of these manpower have been transported to Xinxiang.

In this way, plus the people who took the initiative to take refuge in the Liangguang area, the number of people controlled by Yu Guozhen has reached about 120,000, of which two-thirds are young and strong!

"In Nanzhili, I can only have a thousand families, and no matter how much I have, it will not be allowed by the imperial court, but overseas, I have three thousand families, and another three thousand new ones, as long as I practice for another year, even if their combat strength is not as good as my old guard, they will not be inferior to any strong army in the Ming Dynasty." Yu Guozhen said again.

120,000 men, according to the ratio of 20 to 1, is enough to support an army of 6,000 men. However, Yu Guozhen did not say one thing clearly, among the new Xianghu Guards, the most elite were the 1,500 people who came out of the Xiliu Courtyard. The remaining 4,500 people were uneven, with those who had participated in the campaign against Annam being better, and the newly trained 3,000 men being weaker in combat effectiveness.

"Really...... It's true? ”

Li Qingshan felt that his brain was a little bad at this time, and he asked in a trembling voice.

"Big brother, you are so stupid to ask, what kind of character is Yu Gongzi, he can fool us?" Li Mingshan said: "Yu Gongzi is really a great cause!" ”

When he said it, his tone was really envious, this is a hundred thousand people in a land of 100,000, and he is a prince of the Ming Dynasty, but I am afraid that he is not so happy!

But this sentence also reminded Li Qingshan that Yu Guozhen has such a big career, and he doesn't need their brothers to help him at all! He has a family guard that he has cultivated by himself, and among the thousands of families, is there no character worth using?

"Yu Gongzi really lives up to his reputation...... It's just that Yu Gongzi has such a foundation, but our two brothers can neither write articles nor govern the people, what does Yu Gongzi want my brother to help? ”

In the previous letter from both sides, Yu Guozhen mentioned that he wanted to do something big with the Li brothers, and at first Li Qingshan thought that Yu Guozhen wanted to follow Song Jiang and come to a good story of Shuibo Liangshan, but now that he thinks about it, the little manpower that their brothers have on hand is not important to Yu Guozhen at all.

"Please ask the second brother to do two big things, the first one ......" Yu Guozhen smiled slightly after looking at the two: "It's to kill Liu Zeqing." ”

The three words "Liu Zeqing" spit out from his mouth, which suddenly made the Li brothers change their color!

Liangshan and Caozhou are not far away, and his two brothers sheltered the outlaws and gathered murderers, and Liu Zeqing, who was an officer and soldier, was a big opponent. Although Liu Zeqing still doesn't look at his brother now, and he also thinks that Liangshan Boshui is troublesome, he didn't send troops over to clean it up, but the relationship between the two sides is really not harmonious. In particular, Liu Zeqing also robbed the merchant travelers on the canal, and their brothers also had such actions, and the two sides can be said to be walking together.

And peers are enemies.

Li Qingshan and Li Mingshan glanced at each other, Liu Zeqing was an official of the imperial court, and unless the two of them really wanted to kill the official and rebel, they would generally not provoke such a guy.

"Liu Zeqing's nephew has a grudge against me, and I gave it to him, and now he went to Ji'nan Mansion to find my trouble, just a few days ago, he passed by you, think about it, you should have heard about it."

Li Qingshan's heart moved and nodded.

"I'll make a little trick, Liu Zeqing's official position will soon be lost, but this person has always been arrogant, if he abandons his post, he will definitely go out of Nanfu, flee back to Caozhou's lair, and then raise troops to make trouble, follow Kong Youde's dog thief, and go to Houjin!"

Although the Houjin had been established at this time and was renamed the Qing Dynasty, Yu Guozhen still habitually called it the Houjin. Hearing him say this, Li Qingshan and Li Mingshan glanced at each other, Li Mingshan couldn't hold back, and asked in a trembling voice: "Yu Gongzi said that there is a way to pick off Liu Zeqing's black yarn?" ”

"That's nature." Yu Guozhen smiled.

The Li brothers looked at each other, and until now, they don't know how many times they have looked at each other. In their opinion, the chief military officer is a very big high-ranking official, but they never thought that Yu Guozhen would take off the hat of a general military officer so lightly.

"Since Gongzi Yu can remove Liu Zeqing, he can use the rule of law in the country, why do you need my brother to take action?"

"The so-called recall is just forcing it to be chaotic, the chaos is not obvious, and the thief will not die." Yu Guozhen sat upright, and raised his eyebrows: "To put it bluntly, you don't need Brother Ru, Yu can only bring a hundred families, and he can do things, but he captured Gao Yingxiang before, and now he has arrested Liu Zeqing, which is too much credit." Although Yu has a foundation overseas, he doesn't want to be unable to return home. ”

This is extremely arrogant, but Li Qingshan has to admit that Yu Guozhen has such arrogant capital.

"Then what does Yu Gongzi mean, how should my brother act?"

"After the second day, Liu Zeqing will get the news that Yan Jizu, the governor of Shan'dong, is rushing to Caozhou, preparing to thoroughly investigate his crime of perverting the law and cruelty, and he will immediately return from Jin'an, in order to return before Yan Jizu, he can only go from Liangshan, and he will only bring his cronies cavalry. At that time, he will have less than 100 horsemen, and all you have to do is stop them at the foot of Liangshan. Yu Guozhen said: "I will leave Lao Niu and Twenty Horsemen here, with his help, you just have to rest assured." ”

"If this is the case, it is without the help of the Bull Demon King, and our brothers promise not to let Liu Zeqing get out!" Li Mingshan hurriedly said.

Yu Guozhen nodded, smiled slightly, and then clapped his hands outward.

Suddenly three guards came in, all of them carrying burdens, and six wooden boxes were presented in front of the Li brothers.

"I can't let the brothers of all the families go hungry to do things for me, this is three thousand taels of silver." Yu Guozhen smiled and said to the two: "In the future, there are still many things to ask the two of you in the east of this mountain. ”
