Chapter XXXVIII
Xu Hao nodded and said to Heitou and Cai Bin: "If you treat me Sunset Mountain sincerely, my Sunset Mountain will also treat you sincerely, do you see the Sunset Mountain brothers outside the hall? Half a year ago, they were the same as you, maybe some of them were not as good as you, but now their lowest rank is a seventh-grade martial artist, and I can easily pinch him to death if I pick one of them among Mei Huang." I'll tell you more about the details later!"
Xu Hao's words lit up everyone's eyes, especially Cai Bin and the black head were even more excited.
Then Xu Hao glanced at the other cottage leaders who had not yet expressed their position, "Since we don't have that fate, I won't keep you, it's getting late today, so you all go down the mountain tomorrow." After speaking, Xu Hao wanted to turn around and leave.
"I'm willing to serve my son as a dog and horse!" Seeing that Xu Hao was about to leave, a middle-aged man who looked like a scribe immediately clenched his fists and said.
"I'm willing to follow Gongzi left and right!" another master followed suit.
"I have a glimmer of heaven, and only the son is the first to look forward!"
"My Kirin Peak"
For a while, all the leaders in the hall were loyal to Xu Hao.
Qin Tianqiu, the fat man who saw it on the side, smiled happily.
"Okay, thanks to all of you who can afford to look down, I hope that everyone will work together to build my Sunset Mountain in the future, it's late today, you go back to rest first, and there will be something to discuss with you tomorrow. There is my Sunset Mountain brother on duty at the bottom of the mountain, so it's best not to walk around the mountain at will, so as not to misunderstand. ”
Everyone in the hall looked at each other after listening to Xu Hao's words, which was meaningful.
After everyone dispersed, Xu Hao took the Sunset Mountain people to Qixia Town, because there was no vacant room to live on the mountain, and everything had to wait until tomorrow to make arrangements.
Qixia Town has long been empty, a bleak place, Xu Hao pushed open Jia Ren's courtyard door, with the help of the faint moonlight, he saw that the small courtyard was already overgrown with weeds, dense with spider silk, only a few osmanthus trees were still verdant. Xu Hao couldn't help but sigh that things were wrong, and he didn't know where Jia Ren was now.
Nothing was said all night.
The next day, Xu Hao and Qin Tian led everyone to re-ascend Sunset Mountain in the morning sun.
Everyone on the mountain heard the sound of horses' hooves and greeted them at the gate of the village early, Xu Hao and everyone saw a salute and went straight to the meeting hall, and everyone followed.
Xu Hao also sat down on the top of the head unceremoniously, and Qiu Fatzi and the monkey did not sit down, standing on Xu Hao's left and right hands respectively, which was quite imposing. Seeing Xu Hao sit down, the rest of the people also sat down.
Xu Hao waited for everyone to sit down and looked around, "Yesterday's decision was a little hasty, but after yesterday's night, I think you have completely thought it through, and now I will give you another chance, and it is still too late to go down the mountain." ”
After listening to Xu Hao's words, everyone in the hall looked at their noses and noses. No one spoke.
"Okay, now that everyone has made up their minds, I won't talk nonsense. Xu Hao glanced at everyone and continued, "The so-called no rules are not a circle, from now on, you are no longer robbers who rob homes and houses, and I will never allow the evil behavior of bullying the good and bullying men and women, if anyone commits it again, it will be severely punished." I hope that everyone in charge will go back and explain it to their respective brothers. ”
Everyone in the audience immediately nodded. Right now, I just want to go to the scourge, but there are still people within a radius of 100 miles.
Xu Hao continued, "Yesterday there was a point that I did not explain to you, now that everyone is our own brother, I will also be frank, my father was the commander of the 250,000 border army in Jincheng, this must have been heard of by everyone, but what everyone doesn't know is that Da Zhou now has the intention of killing me, that is to say, we don't go to Da Zhou's trouble when you go to Sunset Mountain, and Da Zhou will come to the door sooner or later." ”
"That's not right, the gentlemen are holding back the discomfort, let them come, there are sons and so many brothers here, I, Cai Bin, really don't scare them now, just kill a few of them to eliminate the evil spirit in the hearts of the masters. ”
Cai Bin's words fell, and the hall was echoed.
Xu Hao waved his hand at everyone, "It's not that I have the ambition of others, just these horses brought up the mountain by the masters of the family, and they can't withstand the charge of a heavy cavalry battalion of the Zhou army!"
This is true, everyone also knows what kind of goods they have in their cottages, don't look at the bullying of the villagers in the past, they really don't know what's going on with the iron cavalry of the last week.
For a moment, everyone was silent.
Seeing that everyone in the hall was silent, Xu Hao said with a smile: "Of course, we can't extinguish our own prestige, do you know, we swaggered all the way back from Qiancheng, in Qiancheng, this fat man also killed the son of the prince of Da Zhou!"
Qiu Fatzi heard Xu Hao say this, and tried his best to pretend to be a high-ranking person, but the smile on his face couldn't be hidden.
"There are these two, they haven't been introduced yet!" Xu Hao said and pointed at Meng Qi and Ouyang Wan again.
"You must know that we are not alone in Sunset Mountain now, these two are the descendants of the three elders of the Martial Alliance, and this trip is here to assist us in fighting against the Zhou army. ”
Saying that, Xu Hao smiled and nodded at Meng Qi and Ouyang Wan.
"Also, Xiliang will also cooperate with us when necessary. ”
As soon as Xu Hao's words came out, it was like throwing a big stone on the calm lake.
For a while, the crowd in the hall was high.
Not to mention Xiliang, with the support of the Wu Alliance alone, Da Zhou is not to be afraid. Because in people's hearts, the status of the Wumeng in this continent is unshakable.
But what they don't know is that these are all Xu Hao pulling tiger skins to make a banner, Wumeng is now too busy to take care of himself, how can he talk about supporting Sunset Mountain, and Xiliang has not even had symbolic contact until now.
Ouyang Wan and Meng Qi looked at each other with a smile on their faces.
Xu Hao waved his hand, and the hall fell silent again.
"However, in order to cooperate with the Wumeng and Xiliang, we must also improve our combat power as soon as possible, so from today onwards, Uncle Qin will lead everyone to train together, whether it is the original master or miscellaneous servants, treat everyone equally! ”
Saying that, Xu Hao nodded at Qin Tian, "Please Uncle Qin!"
Qin Tian stood up when he heard this, his eyes swept around the hall, and everyone who looked at it was terrified.
"Young Master Hao, rest assured, Qin Tian should live up to his mission!"
"Uncle Qin, the defense of the cottage during this period of time also requires Uncle Qin to think a lot. ”
"Well, I've already thought about forming a few scout teams in the original five hundred border army, scattered within a radius of 100 miles, and we will have plenty of time to prepare as soon as there is a stir!"
Xu Hao nodded, and then said to the monkey on the left: "Monkey, these scout teams are led by you, are you willing!"
"Listen to Brother Xu!" replied the monkey with a fist.
"Brother Xu, and me!" The fat man Qiu on the side was anxious.
"Shut up! Xu Hao glared at the fat man.
"Uncle Qin, it's cold now, first of all, we have to solve the problem of everyone's residence first, please take your brothers and all the heads of the family to build more houses on the mountain! You go now, I'll come to you again later!" Xu Hao turned to Qin Tian and said.
Qin Tian led the order to take everyone out of the hall.
After everyone left, before Xu Hao could speak, Ouyang Wan stood up from his seat and crossed his hands on his hips, "Xu Hao, didn't you promise my grandfather that they would go to Xiliang? ”
Xu Hao smiled, "Dare to ask Miss Ouyang, what did your grandfather ask me to do in Xiliang?"
"Isn't it just to support Xiliang and restrain the pace of Da Zhou's advance?" Ouyang Wan blurted out.
"Hehe, what the girl said is good, but the most important thing is the second half of what you just said. Xu Hao replied with a smile.
"The second half of the sentence?" Ouyang Wan tilted his head, "Are you talking about restraining the pace of Da Zhou's advance?"
Xu Hao smiled and nodded, "This is the purpose of our coming back this time, but there are many ways to achieve this goal, why do we have to go to Xiliang?"
"Are you saying that you can also achieve the goal of containing Da Zhou on Sunset Mountain?"
"Hehe, the girl is smart!"
When the little girl heard the praise, she was complacent, but she reacted in an instant, "You fool the ghost!"
Ouyang Wan wanted to continue to question Xu Hao, but was stopped by Meng Qi.
Xu Gongzi seems to have a bamboo in his chest, and he is willing to hear about it. Meng Qi said with his fists clenched.
Xu Hao nodded and said, "May I ask Gongzi Meng, if you are the monarch of the Great Zhou Kingdom, what should you do first after conquering such a large territory of Daxing?"
"Of course, we have to consolidate the territory first, and then try to develop! But now the Great Zhou did not do this, but marched all the way west, and the troops pointed directly at the West Liang!"
"So how can we ensure the follow-up support of the heavy grain and grass? You must know that there is still a vast Daxing between the Great Zhou and the Western Liang. Xu Hao continued to ask.
"Meng doesn't know the army and the army, but presumably there should be garrisons in large and small towns in Daxing to ensure the safety of grain and grass."
Speaking of this, Meng Qi's eyes suddenly lit up, "Could it be that Xu Gongzi is the idea of beating them with grain and grass!"
"It's not just grain and grass, I want to pull out their garrisons in Daxing one by one, cut off their connection with the country, and then they will be difficult to take care of, we and your Wumeng can directly take the capital of the Great Zhou, and we can also eat away the millions of iron horsemen of the Great Zhou who have no grain and grass with Xiliang little by little. ”
Meng Qi and Ouyang Wan's eyes became brighter and brighter as she said this.
"However, the prerequisite for the implementation of this plan is that Xiliang must withstand the attack of the Great Zhou, so I want the two of you to return to Qiancheng once!"
"Let the Wu Alliance help Xiliang defend against the enemy?" Meng Qi frowned slightly.
Meng Qi knew the current situation of the Wumeng, if he could come forward to help Xiliang directly, then why did he want Xu Hao to go to Xiliang.
Xu Hao nodded and said: "Right now, this is the safest way, and it is also a once and for all method for the Wu Alliance, it depends on the courage of the three elders!"
"I don't want to go back!"
Ouyang Wan's face was full of reluctance.
