In the evening of this day, Zhuang Shao, who had been waiting for a long time, finally returned to the fox lake water village, Le Pingyang heard about it and immediately came to the door to ask, and it happened that Zhuang Shao summoned several small leaders to discuss in the guest hall of his residence, and Le Pingyang sat on the side to listen. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

There are more than 200 people in this gang of water cobs, most of them are fishermen who are overwhelmed by heavy taxes, and a few are lazy but have some skills, including several small leaders, including one named Lu Zheng, who was originally the head of the Yamen torture Cao.

"There is a way, wealth and danger are sought! Although our actions this time are dangerous, we can cooperate with the officers and soldiers, and when we arrive at the ambush site, we should cooperate with the outside world, and after we succeed, we will fight with the officers and soldiers, and we will make meritorious contributions and get a good background, wouldn't it be better than staying in this water where there is no woman! Zhuang Shao encouraged loudly.

"Zhuang Da Chief! Are we running out of manpower? Don't take credit for it, it's not worth it to lose your life first! Lu Zheng, who was born in the Yamen, was very shrewd and smooth, and immediately raised questions.

"Is 300 men enough? You pretend to be a caravan to move on the ground, and you don't have to follow Xiao Ximo like so, what are you afraid of? Zhuang Shao's face showed displeasure, and he raised his voice and said: "If it weren't for the fear that Xiao Ximo would be suspicious, a thousand people would have been able to pull it out, otherwise how would this person come out to mess around?" ”

"Yes, yes...... The little cowardly doesn't know anything! Lu Zheng hurriedly accompanied the smiling face to make amends, in fact, it was not that he was timid, but that Xiao Ximo acted very fiercely and cruelly, it is said that this person had roasted and eaten children's brains, and also cut the flesh of the woman and ate it raw with a knife.

"Then let's agree on the code and discuss the details of their respective division of labor and cooperation, it is best to do it on the outskirts of Dacheng County, if you enter the city, it will not be easy to do!" Zhuang Shao said with a determined smile.

Le Pingyang nodded secretly, this Zhuang Shao has strong organizational skills, is also shrewd and capable, and knows how to divide labor and cooperate in groups. At that moment, a few people planned the time and place of action, and the next day they split up, with Le Pingyang leading 50 people from the Military Intelligence Department to lead Lu Zheng and other 200 Shui Kou to Dacheng County first, while Zhuang Shao took another 100 of his own capable guards, escorted several carts of grain, cloth, and goods to Renqiu, preparing to set off with Xiao Ximo.

Zhuang Shao's guards lived in a vacant warehouse in Zhengzhen, and since they decided to invest in Zhou, they naturally had to clean up their hands and tails, and all the goods and goods in the vicinity were transferred to the Fox Lake Water Village, and the unexposed manpower was transferred to Youzhou. These 100 people are different from ordinary thieves, in fact, they are the generals left by his father, not only are they experienced in a hundred battles and strong in martial arts, but they are also all strong men in their thirties and forties.

It was noon when he entered Renqiu City, Zhuang Shaojiu dealt with the Liao army all the way unimpeded, arranged for his subordinates to live in an inn, and went to the state government to ask to see Xiao Ximo, and waited for the last hour to be summoned.

"Country hawker Zhuang Shao meets General Xiao!" Zhuang Shaoyu was humble, but he was not arrogant or humble.

"Why should Mr. Zhuang be humble, you are a certain god of wealth and wealth, I don't know how much white salt was transported to Dacheng County this time?" The reason why Xiao Ximo was willing to go to Dacheng was because Zhuang Shao's huge amount of white salt entered the country as an inducement, and persuaded him to go to winter hunting in the name, but in fact, he went to see the goods.

If it was an ordinary businessman, of course, he would not be able to persuade him, but Zhuang Shao knew a lot of powerful people of the Liao State, and had dealt with Han Zuo, Yang Gon and others either indirectly or directly, so Xiao Ximo did not dare to wait slowly. Moreover, Zhuang Shao is strong in martial arts, and with these relationships, the average Liao small and medium-sized officer doesn't even pay attention to it.

"It has reached 30,000 stones, which is the most in the past, and I ask General Xiao to prepare enough carriages and horses to carry it." A playful smile appeared on the corner of Zhuang Shao's mouth, and he replied calmly.

"Thirty thousand stones?" Xiao Ximo lowered his head and counted his fingers carefully, and he didn't calculate how many cattle and sheep he could exchange for a long time, but this was taken care of by his subordinates, and he soon didn't care, and suddenly smiled obscenely: "I don't know if there is a young Han lady with tender skin and a good voice this time, and I am counting on sending a few to Youzhou to give it to the enemy general!" ”

"Huh...... This time, I only cared about transporting goods, and I didn't think about this aspect, or ...... A certain immediately notified the following people to collect? Zhuang Shao smiled warmly.

"Then you have to hurry up, I have to leave tomorrow, I heard that the Cangzhou soldiers in the southeast have been moving frequently recently, and I have to go to inspect the border!" Xiao Ximo urged.

I don't know if Xiao Ximo said it unintentionally, or if he intended to be tempted, Zhuang Shaoxin was secretly shocked, and couldn't help but be vigilant, and carefully negotiated with Xiao Ximo, and the next morning before dawn, he led his entourage to wait in the east of the city with a carriage.

When the sun was just rising over the horizon, Xiao Ximo took more than a thousand cavalry soldiers and more than a hundred long convoys out of the city, which was really ready to receive white salt, but he didn't know if the woman he wanted to save had brought it, so Zhuang Shao decided to test it.

"Morning, General Xiao! Looking at so many carriages, you can't really bring your family cook, right? It's not very convenient for the handymen to follow! Zhuang Shaoyin stepped forward and greeted with a smile.

"What's the inconvenience? This belly has to be taken care of, right? I just brought about two dozen miscellaneous servants. Xiao Ximo rolled his eyes, his face was staggering, and the scar on his forehead also squirmed, looking very hideous and terrifying.

"Then let's hurry up, this distance is not close, and we have to walk for two days!" Zhuang Shao smiled noncommittally, but he was still unsure in his heart, the thirty or forty-year-old woman who wanted to save was surnamed Gao, born in a famous Bohai Gao family, and was the daughter of Gao Xingzhou, the king of Qi, and the sister of Zhou General Gao Huaide. But at this time, it is difficult to ask incomprehensibly, so you can only camp halfway or send someone to investigate when you are resting.

In the evening of the same day, when he arrived at the camp in Changfeng Town, Xiao Ximo sent soldiers to rush into the town and beat them door to door, hundreds of villagers were suddenly driven out and stayed in the open air.

The courtyard was properly arranged, Zhuang Shao took advantage of the convenience of accompanying Xiao Ximo to drink and sneaked into the kitchen, and soon found Gao's family, a woman who deliberately wore a shawl and a scorched face, and was dressed in a coarse cloth dress.

This day is the third day of the lunar month, that is, the day of the agreement with the subordinates, starting from Changfeng Town, Zhuang Shao was not in a hurry in the morning, but in the afternoon, seeing that it was getting closer and closer to Dacheng County, Zhuang Shao's heart was also nervous.

The agreed place is located on the north bank of the Ziya River in the south of Dacheng County, which is a suburban manor, where 30,000 stone white salt is indeed stored, and it is estimated that his manpower may have arrived, but I don't know if the Cangzhou soldiers of the Zhou army crossed the river from Qianning Town, otherwise there was no manpower, and it was easy to be caught up by the Liao army.

Zhuang Shao thought that if he was alone, he could easily escape with a few soldiers and horses in front of him, but it was not easy to take his subordinates with him. Seeing that it was only a dozen miles away from the destination, a subordinate came over to connect, and his two hundred men had been stationed in the manor, and Dong Zunzhi, the general of Cangzhou Zhou, had already ambushed outside the manor with five hundred good riders, so he waited for the time to start.

Zhuang Shao finally breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't want Xiao Ximo to suddenly change his mind at this time, saying that he would go to the city first, and then go to the camp in the north of the city to inspect military affairs, and said that he would go to the manor tomorrow morning to accept the salt goods.

At this time, Zhuang Shao was in a hurry, panicked and said that he had found a few young ladies and repeatedly asked to go to the manor, Xiao Ximo couldn't resist the temptation, nodded and agreed, and turned to the Ziyahe Manor in the south.
