In the Juyi Hall of Qingfeng Mountain, Song Jiang, who was sitting in the top position of the head of the village, frowned, and thought about his entire plan carefully, and couldn't think of any mistakes, but the agreed news did not come, which made him feel a little more uneasy. \. ().\

Since killing Yan Poxi in Yuncheng County at the beginning of the year, this Shandong "timely rain" has traveled all the way to Qingzhou, defecting to his righteous brother Hua Rong, but he didn't want to be robbed by Yan Shun and his gang of Qingfeng Mountain halfway up the mountain, but by mistake he became the owner of this Qingfeng Mountain.

In the past few years, Hua Rongjin suppressed Qingfeng Mountain for the purpose of military training, and shot and killed many thieves, and the two sides can be regarded as a mortal enemy, but since learning that Song Jiang has become the owner of the village here, although the two sides are still officials and bandits on the surface, they are close in private.

Yan Shun and the others are not barbarians who blindly hold grudges, and Hua Rong himself is strong in martial arts, and his archery skills are even more amazing. However, after Liu Gao arrived at Qingfeng Village on such a day, it made waves. This person is the confidant of Murong Yanda, the prefect of Qingzhou, and the reason why he was sent to Qingfeng Village is that Murong Yanda is staring at the merchants who come and go in Qingfeng Town.

Qingfeng Town is located in a basin surrounded by mountains, surrounded by bandits, and it is difficult for the government to maintain strict control in the local area, and the local soldiers and archers led by Hua Rong, although they can maintain law and order, are not willing to exert their strength to exterminate the bandits in the mountains. One is because of the lack of strength, and the other is because of self-respect.

The local garrison forbidden army in Qingzhou is led by Qin Ming, although it has a certain combat power, but it has to protect the city, and it is impossible to enter the mountains to suppress thieves when it is idle. This has caused the Qingzhou Mansion to inspect the local soldiers in various parts of the territory, and Huarong's Qingfeng Village is one of the representatives.

With such a good excuse as thieves and bandits, it is rare for a town like Qingfeng Town, which is in the position of a trade route hub, to have 30% of the taxes collected and paid into the treasury of the official government, and most of them have been hidden from the head snakes like Hua Rong and into their own pockets. If you encounter a stunned Shangguan urging you, you have ready-made excuses to use, and even those who are bold dare to pretend to be robbers and rob officials and pay taxes.

It can be seen from this that Qin Ming in Qingfeng Town directly reprimanded Huarong traffic bandits, and it is not wronged, it is really because this place has long been indistinguishable from soldiers and bandits.

"Big brother, what are you worried about? Even if there is no Hua Rong's kid, with our three or four hundred minions in Qingfeng Mountain, we can make this deal! ”

A short and wide man sitting below, looking like a wine barrel, shouted loudly, but was glared at fiercely by Yan Shun, who was sitting beside him, and finally muttered twice in his mouth, burying his head in silence.

"If the eldest brother has any ideas, just say them freely, since the three of us regard my brother as the master of a village, we will treat it sincerely, and we will not dare to violate my brother's intentions."

Among the three leaders of Qingfeng Mountain, "Bantam Tiger" Wang Ying is a reckless man who only has women in his eyes, and Zheng Tianshou, the "white-faced Langjun", listens to Sven, but he is actually a rough personality, only "Jinmao Tiger" Yan Shun was originally a sheep and horse dealer who traveled south and north, and he can be regarded as a companion with Shi Xiu, and he can be regarded as well-informed, and his mind is naturally clearer than those two. Before Song Jiang went up the mountain, he was able to sit firmly on the top spot of Qingfeng Mountain, and there was naturally a reason.

"Brother Yanshun, since I went up the mountain, I have been taken care of by the three brothers, and Song Jiang is really grateful. It's just that I have a thought, but I don't vomit unpleasantly. ”

"Big brother, please speak!"

Under the seat, Yan Shun and the three of them bowed their hands together.

"Although the terrain here is still dangerous, if the government sends a large army to suppress it, I am afraid it will be difficult to support it for a long time! At present, there are many heroes on the ground in Qingzhou, and there are cottages on all sides, if they can be gathered into a share, whether it is to attack the prefecture and county in the future, or to be recruited to enjoy wealth and prosperity, they can be invincible! ”

"Since my brother has such a plan, my brothers just follow orders, and they do everything they want! It's just that the green forests in Qingzhou are each strong, and it has been like this since ancient times, and it is not easy to achieve this. ”

"At present, there is an opportunity, if it can be done, it will definitely make all the heroes of Qingzhou return to their hearts!"

……

On the second day, Ximenqing and his party left Qingfeng Town, and rested for another night when passing through Qingfeng Village, until noon on the third day, they arrived at the boundary of Qingfeng Mountain.

More than 200 fierce thieves blocked the road, all knives and guns were in hand, and the three of Yan Shun stood at the front, as for Song Jiang, they didn't know where they were hidden.

"Damn, I heard that there are dozens of wives and concubines in this Ximenqing family, and even a maid is stunning, but today I can't leave this fat sheep!"

"Bantam Tiger" Wang Ying held a spear in his hand, and a pair of fine mouse eyes only looked back and forth in the frames of the cars in the distance, which was obviously a color center.

"Today is a great cause of the cottage in the future, you can't be sloppy, if something goes wrong because of your old problem, don't blame the brother for not being emotional!"

"Save! Save! ”

Wang Ying perfunctory Yan Shun said two sentences, but there was still a lewd smile on the corner of his mouth, obviously not agreeable.

Yan Shun, who was the leader of Qingfeng Mountain, took a few steps forward and was about to explain a few words, but he didn't want to take out a group of soldiers forty or fifty steps away from behind him, but he took out a Song Army-style crossbow from behind him, and before the bandits could react, the crossbow arrows like locusts flew in.

With such a face-to-face accumulation of crossbow arrows, how have these strongmen who occupy the mountains and villages seen it, almost in the blink of an eye, thirty or forty bandits were shot and fell to the ground.

The Song army is long with crossbow arrows, although the power of this standard hand crossbow is far less than the legendary divine arm bow, but at a distance of 50 paces, its potential can also penetrate the heavy armor of the infantry army, which is a sharp weapon for the Song army to deal with the Liao State and the Western Xia cavalry. Nowadays, against a group of bandits in coarse cloth and short clothes, it is amazingly powerful, and those who are hit by arrows are almost not spared, especially the "brocade tiger" Yan Shun who stands at the forefront, has six or seven arrows in his body, one of which is through the throat, and he can't live when he sees it. As for Wang Ying and Zheng Tianshou, they were also killed and injured. That Wang Ying relied on his short stature, but he avoided the vital point, and only got an arrow in his left leg.

"Kill!"

Ximen Qing, who was surrounded by a group of masters, scolded, and Qin Ming, the commander of the Qingzhou military and horses, immediately led a group of forbidden troops transferred from the state capital to kill them, and on both sides of the road, Huang Xin also led people to kill them.

The bandit leaders in Qingfeng Mountain were killed and wounded, and the remaining minions were also privately traded, how could they have the slightest fighting spirit at this time, and they scattered and fled, and they were all killed in just half an hour, and even Wang Ying, who had just escaped from the rain of arrows, was smashed into a meatloaf by Qin Ming. It's not that Ximen Qing is cold-blooded and ruthless, it's actually that the Song army uses the head to judge the merits, and the heads of those thieves are undoubtedly silver rewards in the eyes of the forbidden army.

Just after this one-sided battle, a group of forbidden soldiers were cleaning the battlefield, and a team of more than 100 people came on the mountain road in the distance.
