Chapter 8 Subduing People with Force
Cheng Liu waved his hand.
"It's true, this official guarantees with his official position, and there is no half-truth!"
"Okay, then I'll be obedient to you."
Cheng Liu nodded with satisfaction: "In the future, you people will be under Dian Wei and obey his orders." ”
Chen Sui had just not even made three moves under Dian Wei, and he was impressed at this time, so naturally there was no objection.
"Lord...... Childe, do we still want to go to Wenliang's side? ”
Cheng Liu nodded, and his face returned to seriousness.
"Wen Liang has a military division under him, named Xu Zuo, who was originally Mr. Li Yuanwai's bookkeeper, but was driven out for some reason, and then fell into the grass and followed Wen Liang until now. However, the age is rare, and the health is not very good. ”
Chen Sui took the initiative to explain.
Originally, Cheng Liu was going to ask about the situation on Wen Liang's side, but after seeing him take the initiative to talk about it, he asked along the way, "What else do you know?" ”
"The more than 500 people under Wen Liang were originally children of poor families, and most of them volunteered to go up the mountain, so although we have always had festivals, we have never reached the point of life and death. To tell the truth, if you recruit him in the name of the county guard, I don't think he will be stubborn. ”
"So confident?"
Cheng Liu looked at him with a scrutinizing gaze.
Chen Sui smiled, but replied lightly: "The big officials can rest assured, Wen Liang and I never do the business of killing people and goods, only taking goods, not killing people, so I believe that he and I are the same kind of people." ”
"Besides, Xu Zuogui is the master, and with his ingenuity, he is also a military advisor when he enlists in the army, and these truths are clear."
Cheng Liu's heart suddenly regretted it, so he should go to Wen Liang's side first.
The east and west sides of Nanshan are only a few miles apart, and the endless mountains here can be used as natural defense barriers, and the mountains can also cover each other after nightfall, so there have been several previous clearance operations, but they all ended in failure.
Led by Wen Liang, after crossing the pass is the way up the mountain, Cheng Liu walked in front, listening to Chen Sui's constant introduction along the way, Cheng Liu also had a general understanding of these two mountain bandits.
"Big official, now that there is no war, why do you want to recruit into the army?"
Cheng Liu suddenly rolled his eyes, alas, this is the thinking of the ancients......
"This is a very simple truth, after I took office as the county guard, within the jurisdiction of the entire Danyang County, there was no war, no famine, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, the literati had Yaxing poetry and songs, and the warriors could show their fists and feet, this is the peaceful and prosperous world I want."
Chen Sui was a little surprised.
"But in these sixteen counties, according to the big officials, I'm afraid it's a little difficult to do this......
It's harsh, but it's true.
Cheng Liu waved his hand.
"So now my request is as simple as that, first clean up you under your nose, and then strengthen your strength. Although there is no war, we must be prepared for danger in times of peace. It's hard to say how long this kind of peaceful life can last. ”
Although Cheng Liu knew that the war would soon ignite, he still didn't want to say it before the time came.
Chen Sui's more than 300 people, plus more than 500 people brought by Dian Wei, just occupied a hill when they gathered on the east side, and the momentum was strong and mighty.
The gentle village has no name and no surname, although the power is huge, but these people under his hands are treated like brothers, so it is only a nominal big boss and two masters, in fact, it is more like a small village.
Although there were only 500 people, after seeing that Cheng Liu's soldiers and Chen Sui's mountain bandits had gathered, they also quickly picked up their weapons and stood under their own villages, forming a line of defense.
Cheng Liu shouted directly: "May I ask if the big boss of your family is not there?" ”
Chen Sui whispered: "Wen Liang is not here, he should have gone down the mountain." ”
Dian Wei replied directly: "I specially inquired before going up the mountain, you and Wen Liang are in the mountain, and we just went up the mountain." ”
Cheng Liu was a little puzzled, could it be that Wen Liang was cowardly, and ran away in advance after receiving the news?
But on second thought, it seems unlikely, his brothers are here, and it is impossible for a person like him to sit idly by and ignore these people.
Unexpectedly, a moment later, Wen Liang staggered out of it, pushed away the people in front of him, and stood directly in front of Cheng Liu.
Smelling this smell of wine, Cheng Liu almost vomited.
"Find me...... What's the matter? ”
Dian Wei directly stepped forward and pushed Wen Liang forward, and then rubbed his hands in disgust.
"A thief is a thief, and there is nothing else to do on weekdays except to be full of wine and food and have fun."
Chen Sui suddenly lowered his head in embarrassment.
Cheng Liu pulled Dian Wei behind him, stood a step forward and asked: "This official is here to recruit An, I heard that you have five hundred strong soldiers and horses, rather than staying in the mountains in the dark and wasting time, it is better to go down the mountain with me to make a big difference." ”
"Vomit ......"
Wen Liang directly held on to a thick tree and spit it out, and turned to look at Cheng Liu with a flushed face, and the killing intent in his eyes was not concealed at all.
"Ambitious? In addition to having fun, are there any other great grandiosities in the successive Danyang county guards? And you...... What is Cheng Liu called? There are 12 wineries in Luoyang, the fragrance of wine is all over the city, and the reputation is well known, but they came to Danyang County, which has always been regarded as a military powerhouse, is it not for the sake of retirement and ambition? Bullshit ambitions! ”
Dian Wei shook his fists, and couldn't help but step forward to teach him a lesson.
Cheng Liu immediately pulled it, took a deep breath, and watched Wen Liang lose his temper after drinking, but he said everything in his heart, and he didn't smile angrily on his face.
"What you're saying is that your master often said this, right? Troubled times produce talents, your ambition will not just be to be a bandit leader of 500 people, right? ”
Wen Liang snorted coldly and shouted behind him: "Bring a pot of wine for the master!" ”
Cheng Liu frowned slightly, this ghost boy, drunk like life?
"Cheng Daguan, after all, but if you want others to convince you, you have to do at least something, right? I know that your subordinates are very capable of fighting, I don't fight with him, let's fight, you win, I will take what you want in our village, but if I win, from today on, this Nanshan is my gentle mountain, and your government must not come again! ”
He was not surprised that he was able to say this, what surprised him was that he had been drunk before, but he had drunk a large jar of wine just now, and he could still stand firmly, this amount of wine is really a god!
"No problem, how do you want to compete?"
Wen Liang threw the wine jar directly on the ground, then picked up a broken jar, raised it and said: "On the battlefield, the one who can take the head of the army is the general, and we will try this broken jar as an arrow, and whoever of us can shoot through this clay pot a hundred steps away will win." ”
This is not only to consider the accuracy, but also to consider the arm strength, and more importantly, this hundred steps is not a small distance, a distance of one hundred and fifty meters, it is really not easy to shoot such a small piece of things.
