Chapter Eighty-Nine: One Day in the Iron Mountain

Phi Dao Du Si Lu Mingde and Lu Nan came to the wealthy businessman Gu Wuyue in Tieshan Town Wangshan Restaurant to eat, Tieshan is the Phi Island Dongjiang General Soldier Mao Wenlong in North Korea set up the Tuntian Guard, one is to raise troops and raise the people, for its continuous supply of soldiers and grain and grass, the other is for the backing of North Korea's Yizhou, thought to be the horn, Mao Wenlong will Tieshan as the hope of the Dongjiang River, here is also the largest Tuntian in Dongjiang Town, and a little acres of land on the island is a world of difference.

Lu Mingde and Du Si Mao Youjun, Liu Wenju and others jointly defended the Iron Mountain, with Mao Youjun as the mainstay, Liu Wenju, Lu Mingde as the auxiliary, a total of more than 50,000 people fled Liao, more than 5,000 guards, divided into four forts, 21 piers, tens of thousands of acres of Tuntian, Tuntian for several years, a little small, the rice grain out of the islands such as Phi Island is short of grain, but also to meet Phoenix, Zhenjiang Fort and other places to flee the Liao people to receive help, of course, all the Liao people are also the tenants of the Phi Island generals, the acres belong to the Phi Island generals, busy for a year is just barely starving to death.

Lu Mingde and Gu Wuyue have known each other for a long time, as early as last year Gu Wuyue came here to buy and sell logs and other local products, and Lu Mingde is familiar with him, this year, Gu Wuyue took away more than 10,000 Liao people from Lu Mingde, Liu Wenju and others on the grounds of employment, of course, he also gave 2,000 taels of silver, Tieshan only opened tens of thousands of acres of land, but more than 60,000 Liao people, half of them have no land to suffer, every spring famine has a lot of Liao people starve to death, cannibalism is not uncommon. The wife of the family persuaded her in a compassionate heart, and she had two taels of silver to take, so she secretly let him go, and the cooperation with Gu Wuyue was quite pleasant.

This time, Gu Wuyue came to pick up the Liao people again, and the two met in the restaurant, full of wine and food.

"My lord, it's quite unpleasant for the villain to recruit Liao people this time, I don't know if the adults can teach me." Gu Wuyue put down his wine glass and said.

"Gu Gongzi, there are only more than 50,000 people left in Shidao at the moment, and Mao Shuai knows that tens of thousands of Liao people are angry when they are outside Tieshan, Yizhou, Guanglu, Shicheng, Dashanzi and other islands, and severely reprimands the generals for being short-sighted and self-destructive. In other words, if there is a severe punishment next time, it will not be loaned. Lu Mingde took a bite of venison in his mouth and continued as he chewed. Brother Gu, this time is different from the past, Mao Shuai is angry, who dares to anger the big handsome, don't have a head, of course, if Brother Gu still buys a large number of logs, he will give you a guarantee, but you come first. ”

"Alas, the general doesn't know, the Liao people's cultivation and work, compared with the local people's salary, is nearly half less," Gu Wuyue pouted with infinite pity, "Alas, my family is especially a grange, and the weaving workshop employs a lot of people, but it's a pity." Gu Wuyue looked greedy, and he was really heartbroken.

"Brother Gu, your family can't recruit more than 10,000 people from us, so be content." Lu Mingde was disdainful in his heart, it was nothing more than which poor and sour literati in the previous dynasty reprimanded the businessman for heavy profits, the ancients did not deceive me, mother, how much money is more, and the oppression is all poor and poor Liao people, I bah, I am really greedy.

"My lord, the purchase and transportation of logs must be more accommodating than adults." Gu Wuyue clapped his hands with a smile, and a stout young man behind him handed over two heavy packages.

"It's easy to say, it's good to ......" Lu Mingde opened the package while snorting, his eyes immediately glazed.

I saw that a pair of silver shining armor appeared in front of me, the helmet was a full helmet, with a visor, leaving only a gap between the eyes, the cuirass was firmly engraved with decorative lines, the shoulder pads and elbow pads were particularly thickened, the iron gloves, the iron waist skirt all the way to the thighs, the legs had knee pads, and the other positions were leather armor.

Lu Mingde has never seen such armor, it is different from Wenshan armor, fish scale armor, chain mail, arms, waist, and legs are extremely close-fitting, interfaces, joints are finely made, shiny, full of momentum, at a glance you know that it is extremely expensive.

"Brother Gu, how could Ben accept such a heavy gift from you, it's not appropriate." Lu Mingde motioned for the guards to accept it, but his family was full of politeness, happy in his heart, and a smile on his face.

"The villain knows that the general is fighting for the country and Jiannu, and he is deeply admired, and the villain specially bought this armor from the hands of Francois and sent it to the general, and I wish the general to wear this armor to kill Jiannu and make great merits, and glorify the ancestors...... "Gu Wuyue's sycophants are like a tide, so that Lu Mingde is immediately fluttering, patting his chest, and making a few promises.

Gu Wuyue sent Lu Mingde away and returned to the inn with a group of guards.

After thinking about it indoors for a long time, Gu Wuyue took a long breath:

"Wang Zheng, you take the first group of people to Yizhou to act according to the plan."

"Yes, sir." The sturdy Wang Zheng bowed in reply.

"Shanzi, you take someone to find out about Lu Mingde's house and family, remember, don't let people find out." Gu Wuyue admonished

"Luo Shan will live up to the trust of adults." The tall and thin Luo Shan bowed and replied.

"Okay, you and others are responsible for their own responsibilities, and we will let Jiannu bleed some blood here." Gu Wuyue said.

Wang Zheng's thick black eyebrows jumped, and his fists clenched. Luo Shan's yellow face was expressionless, but a cold light flashed in his slender eyes.

Watching the two leave, Gu Wuyue felt slightly proud in his heart, the three bastard boys were able to train to the current situation, and he finally didn't see the wrong person.

Wang Zheng and Luo Shan, who returned to their rooms, began to sort out their items, mainly weapons, silver taels,

"Brother Wang, be careful when you go." Luo Shan arched his hand.

"Shanzi, it's okay, I can't die if I don't kill my hometown, and my family is still looking forward to me giving them revenge." Wang Zheng grinned and said goodbye to Luo Shan.

Wang Zheng came to a separate courtyard outside Tieshan City, looked around, Wang Zheng knocked on the door, and an old man in his fifties opened the door.

"The king's head is here." The old man looked around and said softly.

"Old horse, there is no one behind me, and I made a few detours on the way here." Wang Zheng followed the old horse's head into the courtyard.

After entering the main hall, eight people were sitting around eating together, sorghum rice, wild vegetable broth, pickle strips, and several people were happily eating.

"Wang Tou, have you eaten?" A man in his thirties asked.

"I've eaten, Zhang Song, you eat quickly, after you're done, you have something to go out." Wang Zheng commanded.

"Okay, let's get it as soon as possible." Zhang Song replied.

The wind swept away, and after a while, several people finished eating.

A few people packed up, put on their clothes, put on weapons, and came to the afternoon, brought out a few horses, Wang Zheng ordered the old horse head to stay, and the others rode north.

Luo Shan had already taken a few people to Lu Mingde's house at this time, and asked Wang Yimin, who was the most harmless to humans and animals, to investigate, Luo Shan and another young brother at this time were half of the homeless people, unkempt, and in rags, sitting at the intersection not far from Lu's house. This appearance was common in Tieshan and Yizhou at first, after all, there are many people in Liao, and it is a good life to be able to farm land for the military masters to starve to death, but unfortunately, there are so many acres of land in Tieshan, and there are still many people who have no food and clothing, and become beggars. However, after Gu Wuyue's collection and transportation, there was not much left.

Luo Shan looked at his own appearance, and also sighed in his heart, he was like this a few months ago, messing around in Iron Mountain. If his family hadn't gathered with Wang Zheng, Teng Hai, Teng He, etc., and helped each other, someone would definitely starve to death, it was because Luo Shan, Luo Dong, Teng Hai, Tenghe, and Wang Zheng fought with more than ten homeless people for food, although the number of several people was small, but they were not afraid, although the head was broken and no one retreated and fled, which attracted the attention of Lord Gu who was passing by, and let the guards stop the fight between the two sides,

"Are you waiting for Liaomin?" "Do you have a grudge against Jiannu?" The adult asked.

"There is a blood feud." Several people spoke almost in unison.

Luo Shan still clearly remembers the answers of several of his people, and the smaller Luo Dong and Tenghe also shed tears.

So he followed the adults to Shidao, where Teng Hai, Tenghe, Luo Chang, and Luo Juan settled down, and Teng Hai and Tenghe took care of Luo Chang and Luo Juan, and themselves, Luo Dong, and Wang Zheng entered the Military Intelligence Department to follow the adults, and after two months of training, they returned to Tieshan.

Luo Shan is very satisfied at the moment, his younger brothers and sisters have a way out, he saw the strength of Lord Zhao in Shidao, and he finally has the hope of revenge, Luo Shan will never forget the father and mother who fought to the death with the Jiannu sentinel to cover their escape, this blood revenge must be avenged, otherwise it will be in vain.

The autumn wind was bleak, Luo Shan wrapped his ragged clothes, sat lonely on the ground, and stared at the door of the Lu Mansion with the rest of his eyes, as if he had fallen asleep.

ps Today is the traditional festival Mid-Autumn Festival, and I won't ask for it in the middle of the night, and I wish you a happy family reunion.
