Chapter Twenty-Four: General Huanglong
The crowd walked through the house and came to the Yellow Dragon Cave.
The mouth of this Huanglong Cave has a big belly, and it is roughly estimated that there are two or three acres of land in the place where Xiaoyu is, and there are all kinds of tables, chairs and benches in the cave, and there is a Taishi chair in the center of the hall, and dozens of chairs on both sides are lined up, which looks like the appearance of the conference hall. There are dozens of charcoal braziers in the cave, and some of them are warm.
Yu Xiaoyu walked with Zhang Biao to a place, there was a long table here, Zhang Biao walked to the head chair and sat down, Yu Xiaoyu sat on the left, Ouyang Feixia sat on the right, just sat down, his subordinates carried a pot of steaming beef, and put a few cold dishes on it.
Zhang Biao picked up the wine jar and poured it for everyone, picked up the bowl and said to Yu Xiaoyu;
"Brother Yu, if you don't fight, you don't know each other, I'll do it first as a respect!" Drink it all in one gulp.
"The big master has strong martial arts, Yu Xiaoyu admires it!" As he spoke, he picked up the bowl and drank it dry.
The two looked at each other and laughed. Ouyang Feixia rolled her eyes on the side, muttering inexplicably in her heart.
The two of them come and go, praising each other, the guests and hosts are harmonious, and the atmosphere is happy.
"The big boss told me in front of the village that Fan Li did a lot of evil, which is really retribution, I don't know why I talked about it." Yu Xiaoyu always thought about what Zhang Biao said in front of the village, and couldn't help but ask at this moment, he secretly admired Zhang Biao, and had the intention to turn enemies into friends and seek common development.
"Brother Yu doesn't know, this Yellow Dragon Cave was originally occupied by Zhang Biao, my sister and I were forced to flee here because we provoked the dog official, and we wanted to gather people and horses, go back to take revenge, and came here by mistake."
"Fan Li saw that the two of us were strong in martial arts and had the intention to win them over, but my brother and sister also heard that this person was good at blocking the road and robbing and killing innocents indiscriminately, and they didn't want to be with him, but they had no choice but to have no good place to go, and they saw that the Huanglong Cave was open and suitable for gathering people, so they had to agree to Fan Li and commit themselves here."
Speaking of this, Zhang Biao made another bowl.
"At the same time, I have three chapters with Fan Li, and the two of us are here, so we can save his life, but in the future, we are not allowed to loot at will, kill innocents indiscriminately, and plunder money and food from the local government and the bully landlord's house."
"After our continuous development and more and more personnel, Fan Li saw that he was more restrained on the mountain, so he proposed to build a village at the foot of the mountain, and he personally guarded it, and he could also practice his riding skills."
"How can I not know his thoughts, and the government landlord against the landlord, the benefits are quite a lot, but the risk is also very large, Fan Li is a bully and afraid of the hard, when he is a bandit, he just wants to be happy, how can he work hard with the government again and again, build a village under the mountain, and win over the original subordinates, secretly burn and loot as in the past, my sister and I read the original love of acceptance, and we had to turn a blind eye, just want to train the soldiers and horses as soon as possible, take revenge and leave."
Zhang Biao explained the relationship between himself and Fan Li clearly, picked up the bowl and touched it with Yu Xiaoyu, and drank it dry again.
Yu Xiaoyu saw that every time Zhang Biao talked about the government and revenge, Ouyang Feixia beside him had a different face, and he didn't want to ask, but he heard Zhang Biao ask: "Why did Brother Yu come to this Woniu Mountain and fall in love with this Yellow Dragon Cave?" ”
At the moment, Yu Xiaoyu did not hide when he came to Woniu Mountain, what he did, how he met Lao Lai, how he came to Huanglong Cave, and said them one by one, but he just concealed Song Rentou, and only said that the elders in the family felt that the world was about to be in chaos, so they let themselves come here to collect troops and train troops, and fortunately, they had something to do in the troubled times.
Zhang Biao sighed, and repeatedly praised the elders in Xiaoyu's family for being well-informed and forward-looking, and Ouyang Feixia didn't say anything, but only poured wine for the two of them on the side.
The more the two drank, the more intimate they became, and Yu Xiaoyu finally figured out the life experiences of the two.
It turned out that Zhang Biao's father was a blacksmith in the inner township county, and there were more than a dozen acres of thin fields at home, plus some craftsmanship, and the days were good, Zhang Biao followed his father to farm and make iron since he was a child, and usually liked to dance with guns and sticks, Ouyang Feixia's father Ouyang Chuan was a Jianghu artist, Ouyang Feixia followed his father around to set up stalls to make a living since he was a child, one day the two came to the inner countryside, Zhang Biao surrounded to see the excitement, saw Ouyang Chuan's martial arts was strong, so he pestered Ouyang Chuan to learn art, Ouyang Chuan saw Zhang Biao's temperament, and chivalrous heart, and he had a lot of old injuries and dark diseases, Maybe it will be gone one day, so he accepted Zhang Biao, hoping to take care of Ouyang Feixia in the future.
The three of them left Neixiang County and wandered around, Ouyang Chuanchuan saw that Zhang Biao was born with divine power, had a clever mind, was a good material for practicing martial arts, and also taught each other, and according to Zhang Biao's situation, he specially taught this iron rod method, which is what Zhang Biao is now.
Who knew that when the three of them came to Wei County, Handan County, a local Wang bully saw Ouyang Feixia's beauty, so he had a bad heart and wanted to take him as a concubine, how could Ouyang Feixia be insulted by this, during the dispute, Zhang Biao accidentally killed the bully, which also attracted the arrest of officers and soldiers.
Ouyang Chuan desperately covered his apprentice and daughter, the two escaped, and later went back to check, and saw the master's head hanging at the city gate, his heart was unbearable grief and indignation, and he sneaked into the bully's house, and destroyed the Wang family overnight, which can be regarded as avenging the master, but unfortunately he did not collect the body for the master, and the two fled all the way back to Neixiang County.
Unexpectedly, there were even more changes in the family. It turned out that not long after Zhang Biao left, Qin Shengcai, the landlord of Neixiang County, pretended to be kind enough to repair the well in Zhang Biao's field under the pretext that it was in disrepair, but after the repair, he occupied it and did not let Zhang Biao's father use it, Zhang Biao's father had no choice but to sue the government, but Neixiang County ordered Zhou Zhiren, but sentenced a well to be built by the Qin family and should be owned by the Qin family.
Later, Qin Shengcai sent someone to spread the word that as long as Zhang Biao's father sold him more than ten acres of fertile land, he would beg the county magistrate to release him, but the price was only one or two silver. And Zhou Zhiren also sent a message to Zhang Biao's mother, suggesting that he would take money to ransom people, the two were embarrassed and blackmailed each other, and finally Zhang Biao's family lost all their money, the house and land were not guaranteed, Zhang Biao's father was in a hurry, and died in less than a year, Zhang Biao's mother was lonely, couldn't stand such a blow, and hanged herself.
When the two returned, they inquired in many ways to know the truth, and they wanted to avenge their father, but Zhou Zhiren and the others also received the news and sent people to surround them, so they had no choice but to flee to Woniu Mountain, secretly developing their strength, hoping to take revenge.
After listening to this, Yu Xiaoyu was also angry, and he was angry and dignified for a while.
"Brother Zhang, you and I have no grudges, and we are gathered here just to seek development, if you and I become brothers and develop the Yellow Dragon Cave together, your revenge is my revenge, and when the time comes, I will avenge you!" Yu Xiaoyu drank a bowl of wine fiercely, stood up and said.
"That's exactly what I wanted!" Zhang Biao also got up and clenched his fists.
Then Zhang Biao ordered someone to set up the incense case, and the two kowtowed and bowed, swore together, lived and died together, shared blessings and misfortunes, and concluded righteousness.
Zhang Biao has eight in twenty this year, Yu Xiaoyu has one in twenty, Zhang Biao is the eldest brother, and Yu Xiaoyu is the second brother. Ouyang Feixia also wanted to pay homage, but was stopped by Zhang Biao, only saying that this was a man's business, but in fact, he had his own calculations in his heart, Yu Xiaoyu was handsome, extraordinary, and unmarried, he was really a good match for Ouyang Feixia, but he had known him for a short time, and it was inconvenient to say it bluntly.
Ouyang Feixia only thought that her senior brother saw that she was a woman, so she looked down on her, and after some entanglement, although she did not bow down, but because she was three years older than Yu Xiaoyu, she insisted that Yu Xiaoyu call her second sister, so she gave up.
At this time, the sky was bright, Yu Xiaoyu and Zhang Biao learned about the situation in Huanglong Cave, and on the other hand, Zhang Biao also asked Zhang Biao to arrange someone to go to Zhujia Village to pick up Lao Lai up the mountain, although Lao Lai has some vices, but this person is cool-headed, good at analysis, and is also a talent.
After some detailed chatting, Yu Xiaoyu had a general understanding of the troop configuration of Huanglongdong.
Now there are 340 strongmen in Huanglongdong, including 68 people under the mountain, these are all mountain bandits recruited by Fan Li, and the rest of the people are Zhang Biao and Ouyang Feixia's landless refugees, including their families, less than 500 people. In addition, there were thirty horses, not counting money and food, and the most scarce thing at the moment was bows and arrows.
Lao Lai went up the mountain and saw that Yu Xiaoyu and Zhang Biao had become sworn brothers, and they were also the three masters of the Yellow Dragon Cave, and they were also very happy at the moment, surrounding Zhang Biao and Ouyang Feixia to praise violently, Yu Xiaoyu only felt a tumbling stomach when he listened, and hurriedly sent him down the mountain to discuss the layout of the front village.
When everything was settled, Yu Xiaoyu, Zhang Biao, Ouyang Feixia and Lao Lai sat around to discuss. Since he wanted to accept Lao Lai, Yu Xiaoyu did not hide it, and told Lao Lai about the situation of himself and Zhang Biao one by one, and Lao Lai was silent after listening to it.
"It's okay for us to be a bandit now, if we attack the government next, if we rebel, if you think the risk is too high, or if you feel that it drags down the family, you can take it and go home." Yu Xiaoyu said.
"It's not a secret, I'm also from a family, although I'm not a descendant, but it's not a distant branch, if I just be a mountain bandit. If you go home for a few years, you can also have a settlement, but I have also heard that the court is in turmoil today, if you can do a career with a few of you, it will also be happy, Yu Ye, you don't need to say it, if you believe me, I will do my best to assist you. Lao Lai also said sincerely.
、
At that moment, several people were moved, four people high-fived, and the team was established.
"If you are a bandit, there is no problem in using the name of Huanglongdong, if you want to develop and grow, we have to improve the level internally." Lao Lai said.
"Brother Lai, what do you think?" Zhang Biao asked.
"I don't think so, our Huanglongdong territory is okay, recruit a 3,000 people can also put it down, let's set a banner externally, so that it is convenient to make a prestige in the future, the three commanders are all called generals, each commanding a thousand troops, everyone takes Yu Ye or the big boss as the leader, forming infantry, cavalry, archers, and it is best to organize dozens of chariots, such strength, no accident in the vicinity of Woniu Mountain will definitely be invincible." Lao Lai said excitedly.
"Brother Lai's suggestion is good, I see that the second brother will be headed by the second brother in the Huanglong Cave in the future, although the third brother is young, but he has a good background, great courage and wide knowledge, I think the third brother will be called General Huanglong in the future." Zhang Biao said in agreement.
"Big brother, let's take you first." Yu Xiaoyu hurriedly excused himself.
"The second brother doesn't have to excuse himself, this matter will be fine." Zhang Biao hurriedly waved his hand.
"There is a word in the name of the big boss, if it is called General Huwei, and there is a flying word in the name of the second master, it is better to call General Feiyan." Lao Lai hurriedly said.
"Good, good" everyone is satisfied with their respective banners, and calls each other for fun.
"Okay, since that's the case, then ask Brother Lai to be our military advisor. In order not to expose Brother Lai, it is better for Brother Lai to change his name. Yu Xiaoyu said.
"No, now the surname is real, but the name is fake." Lao Lai rolled his eyes and smiled obscenely.
The crowd laughed and continued to deliberate.
