Wang Lun's wish to rush back to Liangshan for Chinese New Year's Eve was frustrated.

The reason is mainly in two aspects, one is that Lou Minzhong, Zu Shiyuan, and several people, including Lu Jiang, are still on the road. Wang Lun could have left two boats to go first, but when he thought about it, he felt that it was inappropriate, people came to vote, and you didn't even want to wait a few more days, how to make people come to their hearts?

Fortunately, there is no major event in the cottage, the affairs of Hebei have been handed over to Xiao Jiasui and Xu Guanzhong, and Li Ying's recruits still need time to rest, so they are not in a hurry, and the big deal is to celebrate the New Year in Mingzhou.

The second is that something happened to Zhang Jinren and Gao Keli.

It turned out that when Zhang Jinren and Gao Keli were cleaning up the cottage, it happened that Xincheng County was escorting grain and grass to the state capital. As part of the grain transported from Hangzhou to Tokyo, this batch of grain in Xincheng County is a mouthful of fat, and it has been to Youquan Mountain over the years, but because he is not strong in the cottage on weekdays, he is worried about the retaliation of the imperial court, so he has never spoken.

Zhang Jinren and Gao Keli combined, and there was no meeting gift when they went to Dazhai to join the gang, and they really felt disgraceful on their faces, so the two of them lit up the whole gang of the cottage and attacked the grain transportation team in the county overnight.

It is said that the imperial court is not equipped with many troops in the southeast, and there is a forbidden army in Dazhou Xian County, where is there a decent team in the following counties? As a result, the grain transportation team composed of this group of government officials, Xiang soldiers, and Minzhuang became the appetizers of Zhang and Gao, and finally 50,000 stone of grain became their trophies. Zhang Jinren and Gao Keli were overjoyed, carrying countless cattle carts and people who were driving the cars, and came to Siming Mountain.

After Zhao Ting, the governor of Hangzhou, learned that the grain and grass had been robbed, he was furious and instructed his subordinates to send Wang Ziwu and the other two commanders to send troops together to recover this batch of grain and grass. This prince Wu is not a wine bag and rice bag, but also has the mind of meeting Zhang Jinren and Gao Keli, after getting the thief to abandon the lair and go to Mingzhou. He asked Zhizhou to send someone to inform the Yuezhou side and provide supplies for the army, and he and two other commanders led the army to advance lightly, and finally caught up with the team of Youquanshan in Pingshui Town, Yuezhou.

Everyone fought a bloody battle, Zhang Jinren and Gao Keli were outnumbered, and almost died at the moment before dawn. I came to see the excitement, and when I saw that my own people were killed by the court, what did I do? Immediately led the five hundred cavalry around him to rush into the ranks of the officers and soldiers.

It is said that the people stationed in Hangzhou are all infantry troops, and it is more than enough to bully the bandits who are also foot soldiers. Besides, in addition to the kung fu of looking at the wind, the head of the Qiu Dajiao is still very fierce, and after leading the men and horses to the ranks of the official army to kill three in and three out, the official army basically became a rout, but Wang Ziwu still led a group of people to resist stubbornly. He was very brave.

Seeing this, Qiu Yue was interested, and personally waved the three-stop knife towards Wang Ziwu, and after more than forty times, he slapped him under the horse, and Gao Keli raised the knife to cut off the person's head. was stopped by Qiu Yue and said: "This person has good skills, it's a pity to kill him, catch him back and ask the master of the Chao Alliance to show him!" ”

Gao Keli had seen this person's ability in Shezhou. A character like Mingjiao He Conglong couldn't please him in front of him, and he had long admired it in his heart. At this time, Qiu Yue spoke, and he didn't dare to disobey, so he left angrily.

Later, when Chao Gai heard the news, the battle had already been fought, and the losses from the fist mountain were heavy, and the village, which was originally three or five hundred people, was left with less than 100 people who could breathe at this time, so how could they be calm. Chao Gai comforted the two with good words, knowing that Wang Lun was still waiting in Siming Mountain, so he handed over the team to Wu Yong, and he took Zhang and Gao to rush to Siming Mountain to meet Wang Lun.

As soon as they met, the two of them cried non-stop, so the brothers who had gathered for many years, this battle was almost all reimbursed, these two were sad and ashamed, Wang Lun's kind words comforted him for a long time, and suddenly thought that Li Ying still had a few helpers, and the leaders of the cottage performed their duties, and they really couldn't squeeze out people, this is not the best of both worlds?

When Wang Lun finished speaking, the two stopped crying, thinking that they had lost three hundred people, and the leader of the king immediately added five thousand people, although they clearly said that they were not the main generals, how could they dare to have that extravagant hope? There are only 5,000 people under Chao Gai, the leader of the Jiangnan Green Forest Alliance, and Qiu Yue, the former head of the forbidden army, is also the fourth leader of Siming Mountain (there are Gongsun Sheng and Wu Yong in front, Gongsun Sheng went home to ask the master to take refuge on Jeju Island and did not return), the two of them sat in the second or third position at once, how can they not be satisfied?

Thinking about it this way, the two of them were in a much better mood, and Wang Lun proposed to compensate the suffering brothers according to the Liangshan standard, and the two of them also felt very satisfied, this money should be enough for them to live the rest of their lives, at least they can give an explanation to the brothers' families.

After appeasing these two people, Wang Lun told Chao Gai that this year was going to be spent in Siming Mountain, and Chao Gai was so happy that he said straightly: "It's much more convenient to pay New Year's greetings with the virtuous brother!" ”

Wang Lun laughed, chatted with everyone a few more words, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that Master Li Zhuang doesn't want to do this errand for a long time, this is not a chance to lead the troops, and he is happier than the New Year!" He also made a request to me and to you, asking you to support his three or five hundred veterans, so that he can gain a foothold in Hebei! ”

Chao Gai saw that he did not make a sound. It's not that he is reluctant, Chao Baozheng is angry, and he is not so stingy as this, only the people who came out of Erlong Mountain, he only hopes that they will live well in Liangshan, and they can all be like fish in water, what is the matter of seconding three or five hundred people at this time, as long as he can help Li Ying, he Chao Gai is willing to do what he can. It's just that he didn't understand what Wang Lun's plan was to separate Li Ying, so he asked:

"Brother Xian, are you separating the Li family brothers from preparing to do a big job in Hetianhu, Hebei?"

Zhang Jinren and Gao Keli said that it was also very related to their future positioning, and they both looked at Wang Lun intently, and only listened to Wang Lun:

"Tian Hu's heart is not enough to swallow elephants, and he doesn't know that he will be half dead, and there will be retribution soon. At present, all the resources of our cottage will revolve around attacking the island after the year, and the others are not in the plan. I asked Master Li Zhuang to come out to lead the troops, and I was preparing to set up a new cottage in central Hebei to affect the entire Hebei Road. You also know that Yang Lin and Wang Qing's general Du Yan settled in Cangzhou Yanshan, which was too remote and had insufficient influence. We have settled along the Yellow River in central Hebei, and if there is any wind and grass in the future, we will not be out of reach! ”

Speaking of which. Seeing that Zhang Jinren and Gao Keli had a completely incomprehensible expression, Wang Lun briefly introduced the things in Goryeo after the year, and the two of them were excited when they heard it, and they both asked Wang Lun why they didn't transfer them to Goryeo to make contributions, Chao Gai saw it and said with a laugh on the side:

"If we are going to be the main force, I don't know when the cottage will come! My elite 200,000 horse infantry naval army in Liangshan is waiting for this moment of meritorious service! ”

Chao Gai put it bluntly, and he was afraid of hurting the self-esteem of these two people, so he took out Zhu Tong's case and shared it with the two. When the two of them listened, their eyes lit up, and their breathing became tight, Wang Lun smiled and instructed the two: "Hebei is now full of disaster victims, and when you get to the place, the first thing is to recruit the people. As for how the victims will be resettled at that time. I'll send someone to get in touch with you! ”

When several scribes who sat with them saw this, they couldn't help but turn their heads one after another, it seems that the cottage has a comprehensive consideration for Goryeo, and it is a place outside the world. If you want to digest it, it's not the best way to do it. And the best way is the immigration that Wang Lun said, as long as our people can take root and settle here.

"Three or five hundred people, I gave. When the pedant comes back, I will ask him to select people to return to Liangshan Benzhai with his virtuous brother in a boat after the New Year! Chao Gai laughed. If he doesn't stretch out his hand at this time, who will reach out? Who called him Li Ying's big brother? In other words, Li Ying wants to transfer some veterans with the grandfathers of the field army, but who cares about him, after all, they are all treasures in their hearts? Liu Tang and Hua Rong may be able to reach out, but the key is that both of their armies are also new armies, and they are not much older than Li Ying.

"Brother Li Ying has actually never been on the battlefield, and Brother Fool was a little worried just now, afraid that Brother Xian would send him directly to Ueda Huli! This guy is arrogant, someone has to clean him up, and we don't need to do it! ”

"By the way, I forgot to tell you something! We have an old acquaintance, who is now under Tian Hu, and is serving as his privy deputy envoy of the Jin Kingdom! Wang Lun said suddenly.

Chao Gai's body shook when he heard this, and only after a while did he say, "Song Jiang? ”

Wang Lun nodded, and after Chao Gai was confirmed, he suddenly burst out and scolded angrily: "Stupid! Confused! If you can vote for Tianhu, why don't you vote for my brother!? ”

Zhang Jinren and Gao Keli glanced at each other, and for the first time they saw Chao Gai lose such a big temper. From the moment of contact, this person has always given them a feeling like a big brother, and at this time, the green tendons on his head have burst out, and it looks very scary.

"No, no, no! It doesn't make sense, it doesn't make sense! He even looked down on Liang Shan, thinking that it was not Zhengshuo, how could he vote for Tian Hu, who was ambitious and talented? Chao Gai suddenly said again, stared at Wang Lun after speaking, saw him with a playful expression, and said, "Brother Xian, you also think the same as me?" ”

Wang Lun was noncommittal, but just invited Chao Gai to sit down, and said slowly: "On the twenty-third night of the lunar month, Song Jiang held a banquet in the mansion to entertain Dong Ping, the handsome of Tianhu's puppet palace. On the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, Song Jiang acted as a matchmaker and married a woman surnamed Jin Niang to Dong Ping as his wife. On the twenty-sixth of the twelfth month of the lunar month, after the Privy Council meeting, Song Jiang left the leaders of the former Hebei Zhuzhai who attended the meeting to eat, of course, these people are now the leaders of the states and counties under Tian Hu. Song Jiang got drunk during the banquet and said 'serve the emperor'"

Chao Gai's mouth opened wide, and he looked at Wang Lun incredibly, and it took a long time to recover his strength, and said, "Brother Xian, how do you know so clearly about Tian Hu's internal affairs?" ”

"What else can't be said in order to leave a way back for oneself? Song Jiang is not him, and there is no burden for others to sell him! Wang Lun smiled.

"Taking other people's daughters as favors again, this Song Jiang is really not a good thing!" Gao Keli scolded.

Chao Gai glanced at Gao Keli in surprise, with an expression of "how do you know", Zhang Jinren said: "Don't look at it like this, good things don't go out, and evil things go a thousand miles." Who doesn't know about the ugly things in Song Jiang? It's just that the alliance leader is kind enough to tolerate such villains! ”

"What do you say he did?" Chao Gai sighed and said suddenly: "Song Jiang has stepped deep for the imperial court this time, if he is not allowed to enter the imperial court in the future, there will be no way back!" Is it worth it? ”

Chao Gai said so, in fact, he just sighed, the answer was extremely clear in his heart, Song Jiang could not hesitate to bear the notoriety of murdering his eldest brother for his point of no return, and now he ran to Tian Hu's side to go undercover, what else could he not do?

Wang Lun looked at the tangled Chao Gai, couldn't help sighing, and said secretly: This person, everything he does is doomed, just say that he Chao Gai almost gave his life for his brother all his life, and he still thinks about Song Jiang so much. But as long as Song Jiang still has a breath left, he wants to be the kind of ...... he desires Let's just say that it is faith, and add bricks and tiles.

Just when Wang Lun looked at Chao Gai and thought deeply, he suddenly heard a report from the little minion. The jade-clawed dragon Chenggui, who was in charge of Wang Lun's sea navigation, went up the mountain to ask to see, Wang Lun hurriedly called him in, and when this Chenggui came to the court, Wang Lun first asked him to meet with everyone, and then asked him if the things entrusted to him had been done.

It turned out that Cheng Gui was not in vain in Hangzhou Bay, he also had a mission, that is, to find an island far away from the waterway off the coast of Mingzhou, as a sea base for Liangshan to anchor in Liangzhejiang Road, to ensure the safety of the back road of Siming Mountain, and to take care of each other with Siming Mountain.

This Chenggui is a native of Hangzhou, and he was born in Hangzhou, so Wang Lun gave him this task. Sure enough, he only listened to him talk eloquently, and Wang Lun nodded while listening.

The name of the island that Chenggui found was called Qushan, Wang Lun understood that this island should be Daqushan (the sixth largest island in the Zhoushan Islands) in the Zhoushan archipelago in later generations, and the administrative level was a village at this time, although the island area was not as large as that of Jeju Island, the new island of Yangsan, but it was much larger than the base camp.

It is about 100 miles away from the northeast corner of Mingzhou, and it is said that it is the place where the waterway is flourishing, but because of the ocean currents, ships generally do not pass through here (the shore is also separated by Daishan Island and Zhoushan Island, the latter is called Changguo County at this time).

Cheng Gui got Wang Lun's order to search for an island in the archipelago off the coast of Mingzhou that could be used as a backup for Siming Mountain, and became a corner with Siming Mountain, Cheng Gui is the Hangzhou Mansion people, the situation by the sea is more familiar than everyone else, it didn't take a few days to find such a big island, just in response to Wang Lun's request.

There are only three or five hundred households on this island, and there are less than three thousand people, so it is called a village. Cheng Gui felt that this was a natural harbor, so he came back at this time to give orders. (To be continued......) R1292
