"Will it be calculated?" Qiao Wei arched his hand and said, "Dare to ask Lord Wu if he will come out?" ”

Wu Junwu said with a smile: "Since the people on both sides of the canal have sent a message to the Yushan thief, let's let it go, this time to deal with Lu Xingxing in Dangshan, so that they can be unguarded."

Min Bo nodded and said, "What a move!" Lord Wu really has a clever plan! ”

Wu Junwu shook his head and said: "It's not enough to attack the east and the west, the first thing should be to combine the power of the three counties and completely eliminate Lu Xingxing first." Then when you are in the class, take down the fish mountain by the way! ”

The Yushan bandits only attacked the fleets passing on the canal, and did not do much harm to the local people, but Lu Xingxing of Dangshan did all kinds of bad things, and even gathered people to wash some remote towns, and almost attacked the county seat. Because of this, Lu Xingxing's threat to the magistrates is much greater than that of Yushan, which is also the main reason why Wu Junwu wants to attack Dangshan first. Of course, from the bottom of his heart, Wu Junwu doesn't have too much bad feelings towards the Yushan thieves, which is almost the same as Shu Zhengqing's thoughts.

But in any case, Wu Junwu's method is very feasible, and everyone agreed, and then discussed some specific action steps, and then they dispersed. Of course, it was inevitable to send someone to send a copy to Yu Shinan, but they didn't know that the real person in charge of this big tent was their emperor, His Majesty.

Liu Ziqiu glanced at the copy and threw it on several cases. With the power of the three counties, if they can't take down the two bandits, then these officials should be removed.

……

There are many ways to spread the news, but after all, Wu Junwu and others were too guarded in the previous dynasty, and although they don't lead troops now, their ability to lead the overall situation is still there. Soon, a team of errand soldiers appeared along the canal, going door to door to recruit people. There must be a reason for the requisition of the people, that is, the imperial court is going to take Dangshan seriously, and it is fully prepared, it may be protracted, and the task of these people is to be responsible for transporting baggage and supplies for the imperial army.

It has to be said that this method of disseminating information is both real and credible. As they expected, the families of the Yushan thieves were among the people along the canal, and of course such important news should be reported to Yushan as soon as possible. Before the people had finished gathering, the thieves on Yushan had already received the news.

Fish Mountain is made up of many small mountains connected together, and from a distance, it looks like a large blue carp with its head and tail wagging. Many small cottages have been set up in the whole Yushan, some of which are located at the head of the fish, and some are located at the tail and fins of the fish, all of which are very secretive, and those who are not insiders cannot see it from the outside at all, and even the officers and soldiers have not touched these cottages after several crackdowns. In fact, the Yushan thieves were able to evade the previous crackdowns, in addition to the people along the canal to ventilate the news, the vigilance of these cottages also played a great role.

On the high ridge in the middle of the fish mountain, there is a large village hidden among the lush greenery. In Dazhai, the bandit leader and the black man walked back and forth with an anxious expression, and the news that the official army was going to enter Dangshan in a big way made him uneasy. He and Lu Xingxing of Dangshan are mortal enemies, almost to the point of incompatibility, whether Lu Xingxing will be destroyed, he is not sympathetic, he is worried about whether the official army will turn to attack Yushan after laying Dangshan.

It may be an opportunity for him, though. Dangshan is a dangerous terrain, easy to defend and difficult to attack, much stronger than Yushan. Hei Dahan also thought about taking Dangshan from Lu Xingxing, but failed to do so. Of course, he also has his own advantages. Whenever the officers and soldiers invaded and suppressed, he would turn into a bandit and hide in the homes of the people on both sides of the canal, so that the officers and soldiers could not be found. If he can use the hands of the official army to conquer Dangshan this time, maybe after the official army withdraws, he can have one more place to settle the army.

Opportunities and risks coexist, and this is the thing that makes the black man entangled the most.

"Tie Niu, I heard that the official army is going to attack Dangshan? Those guys should have died a long time ago! I just don't know if the official army of Lu Dao can succeed this time. At this moment, a pregnant woman walked in from outside. The woman's face was veiled, and she couldn't see her true face clearly, but her voice was extremely crisp, presumably young and beautiful.

The big black man named Tie Niu's face was suddenly full of tenderness, and he gently took the woman's hand and said, "Lady, I always have a bad feeling. Forget it, I'll arrange for someone to take you down the mountain in two days. ”

The woman's face darkened, and she said, "Tie Niu, I'm not leaving, I'm going to be with you." ”

Tie Niu seems to be rude, but his mind is actually very delicate, and he sees problems extremely accurately. He shook his head and said, "This time is different. The linkage of the three counties shows that the government has made a great determination. In fact, no matter whether it is Dangshan or Yushan, no matter how much trouble it makes, it is impossible to contend with the behemoth of the imperial court. Alas, there must be big people on the official ship this time, let's provoke people who shouldn't be messed with, so let's prepare early. No matter what, I want to take care of you and the baby in your belly. ”

Listening to Tie Niu's words, the woman's voice trembled: "Tie Niu, now that the dynasty has changed, we have also accumulated some furniture, so it is better to stop here." I will weave with you, live in peace and be a good citizen. ”

Tie Niu gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "It doesn't matter if I'm gone, what should I do brothers?" Let's take a look. It's good that the officials and soldiers don't come to provoke me, if they dare to provoke me Yushan, why do you have to gnaw on two pieces of his meat! ”

……

To say that these people on both sides of the canal really hate the thieves in Dangshan. Those thieves are lawless, robbing food, money, and women, and they have done absolutely no bad thing. In the past, the government didn't care, or couldn't manage it, but the heroes of Yushan often came to their rescue. Now that the government has finally made up its mind to attack Dangshan, the people are naturally very enthusiastic.

However, it is no longer the Great Sui Dynasty, and the rules are different. The imperial court is no longer free of charge for the recruitment of people, and a certain amount of money and food will be distributed according to the situation. Of course, in this way, the requirements for the people are higher than in the past, and not all young people can be selected. The people recruited this time are to help the army fight, and they naturally attach great importance to physical conditions, and it is best to be able to use some martial arts, or have military experience.

The thieves on Yushan originally came from the people along the canal, and they knew some martial arts, so taking this opportunity, the black man Tie Niu had planted a lot of eyes and ears in it.

Dangshan naturally has eyeliner dangling around, but the wind suddenly tightened, the errand was rampant, and when he met a stranger, he was strictly checked, and he was arrested and put in prison if there was a slight mistake, which made Lu Xingxing very depressed. Except for some wild fruits and beasts, there is no other production on Dangshan, and the thousands of brothers under his command have to eat, play with women, and do not go out to rob, and this day will not be able to live. What's more, Lu Xingxing got the news that the three big ships that were ambushed by them that day stopped on the shore and didn't leave, which made Lu Xingxing feel very bad.

Normally, the ships that dodge the attack will speed up to flee the area, and these official ships actually stopped, obviously with some special intentions. The sudden extra servants in the four towns and eight neighbors may have been sent by the local government under the pressure of the bigwigs on the official ship. Now that the officers have been dispatched, will the army also be dispatched? Even the boss Lu Mingyue was killed in battle, and he Lu Xingxing has been able to live until now because he is cautious by nature.

As the saying goes, be prepared. Thinking of this, Lu Xingxing gathered his subordinates and was furious: "You useless guys! The news from outside can't come in at all, do you want to sit and eat? ”

Several small leaders were full of panic, and said in unison: "The king is angry, I don't know what's going on in Lu Dao during this time, there are too many errands, and many brothers have missed, so please bear with the king for a few more days." ”

Lu Xingxing waved his hand and said loudly: "Forget it, let's go to this king himself." A few of you, take care of your home for the king! ”

The leaders did not dare to persuade each other, so they only made promises and retreated. A sneer appeared on the corner of Lu Xingxing's mouth, and he led more than a dozen cronies to quietly leave the cottage. Out of Dangshan, Lu Xingxing did not go far, let alone go to be an eyeliner in person, but lived in a small town near Dangshan. As early as a year ago, he assumed the pseudonym Lu Xing and bought a house in this town. It's just that except for the cronies around him, even the leader of the mountain doesn't know about it. There are all kinds of stewards, servants, and maidservants in the house, and Lu Xingxing has also turned into a big merchant from Luoyang. The big merchant has a lot of money, and this is just a foreign house for him, and he may only come to live once in three or five years, which is not noticeable.

However, Lu Xingxing had just settled down in this house, and before he could send people to investigate, the town suddenly became lively, and a large number of officers and soldiers entered the town. However, this excitement is only relative. The officers and soldiers blocked all the exits of the town, and the entire town was now only allowed to enter but not leave, which also caused a lot of inconvenience to the people in the town.

What are you afraid of, Lu Xingxing's heart couldn't help but tighten, these officers and soldiers must be coming to Dangshan. It's a pity that now that the town has been blocked, he has no way to escape to other places, and he is simply throwing himself into the net. However, he followed Lu Mingyue to fight the world back then, what kind of danger had he not experienced? Even if he was in danger, Lu Xingxing did not panic, but changed into a silk shirt, shook a folding fan, and came to the street.

The officials and soldiers did not do anything about it, except that they were not allowed to leave the town, and the people were allowed to move freely in the town. The officials and soldiers even took out a lot of grain and sold it to the people at a low price, which made the whole town feel a little more peaceful in the tension, and the people had no antipathy to the officials and soldiers, and everyone seemed very calm.

Lu Xingxing looked around in the ranks of the people, and soon found that there was a big "Ji" character on the banner of the army. He often wandered around the three places of Liang County, Qian County and Pengcheng County, and also knew the situation of these three counties, and the surname Ji was not common, and he only had the Ji Ming of Pengcheng County in his impression.
