Chapter 103: Fame and fortune

"Well, Chao Gai is really generous and righteous! The big trouble is finally solved! The prefect of Gangneung stood on top of the pavilion, looking at the bustling street and not seeing the refugees, and patted the railing to applaud.

For him, it's not just about rehousing refugees without having to go through a lot of effort. It can also be exaggerated that it is a great achievement for refugees to settle properly. As long as you spend a little more money up and down, you can pave the way for promotion.

Chao Gai is right to make friends with this kind of person!

The peaceful scene made Governor Yang quite satisfied, and he was thinking about business dealings! It was decided that in the future, it would be more convenient for King Chao Tianwang.

In the city, the three-day almsgiving has ended.

The big iron pot outside the Yuexian Building was removed, the ground was cleaned up, and there were no ragged refugees coming.

In order to express his gratitude, Chao Gai wanted to give more money to the owner Lao Li Yin, but was refused, saying that he would use the light of the people to make a name for himself and his business would definitely be good. After repeated shirks, the other party did not accept it, so he could only send a lot of good wine.

The guy in the restaurant, the shopkeeper has been busy for a few days, with a large share and a small share. Everyone was given money and food, and everyone rejoiced. That clever guy followed the team to do shopkeeper training, which attracted the envy of the guys.

Under the eager gaze of these people, Chao Gai and the others left with the last batch of refugees. Everyone put on new cotton clothes and drove the carriage, and there was a mighty ride.

Surrounded by the warmth and coldness of people, no one is nostalgic for the rich land of Gangneung. They will go north to a new place, and they will not be oppressed in the future!

The team left Jingnan City and didn't go far to join a team.

"Brother, I've been waiting for my brother for a long time." Two tall horses galloped in. One person has a leopard head and ringed eyes, swallow-jawed tiger whiskers, holding a snake spear, and one is white-skinned and thin, with three wisps and three beards, and wields a hardwood steel gun.

If it's not Du Yan, who else can Wei He be?

Yes, there is money, food and materials, Chao Gai has not forgotten his brothers. I had already sent someone to escort winter clothes and other supplies to Mulan Mountain.

Du Bai and the two leaders of Wei He were shocked by the news that they had received a report from their minions. I really didn't expect my brother to go to the city and get tens of thousands of stones of grain and grass, dozens of truckloads of medicinal materials and various materials in a short period of time.

According to the plan, they led hundreds of minions to change into brand new winter clothes, turned into refugees, and swaggered to escort food to wait outside Jingnan City.

"Two brothers, come on, introduce you to a few heroes." Chao Gai was overjoyed when he saw the two, and hurriedly led a few people around him to urge the horse to meet them.

Xiao Jiasui took the lead with the stump. Ma Fang beside him, Yu Tai and the two did not speak. It mainly introduces Ma Xun and Ma Jin, Teng and Teng Huan, two pairs of brothers.

The Ma brothers are black and thick, while the Teng brothers are diametrically opposed, with fair skin and a scholarly temperament. But he is skilled in bows and horses, and has the courage of ten thousand people.

Chao Gai personally introduced him, and there was a guy like Yutai who shouted that he had been learning for a few days, just as his brother said. Du Bao, Wei He has no contempt.

Ma Xun, Ma Jin, Teng Huan, Teng Huan are not less than competing with Yu Tai, how much do they know about Mulan Sanxiong, and now they are not much surprised when they meet the leader of the strongman.

Heroes cherish heroes, heroes love heroes!

The two sides naturally greeted each other, and there were talks and laughs along the way.

"Two brothers, go back! Sending you a thousand miles will eventually take a farewell. After walking three or five miles, Chao Gai said goodbye to the Teng brothers beside him.

Although they have not been able to pull the two into the gang in the past few days, their words are speculative and very talkative. Yu Tai, Ma Fang, Ma Xun, and Ma Jin stepped forward one after another.

"Hey, we also want to go together, but my old father is still alive."

"There is a way that my parents are not far away, brother take care!" The two big men had a lot of reluctance on their faces, sighed, and hugged their fists to say goodbye to everyone one by one.

"Hahaha, if there is fate, you and I will meet again."

Chao Gai patted the two of them on the shoulder to comfort them, and then led the team to chase after the Chinese army! Under the gaze of the Teng brothers, they quickly disappeared until they disappeared.

……

In mid-to-late November, the farther north you go, the colder it gets.

But it is nothing compared to the desolation in despair, and it can't stop the footsteps of the people.

During the march, Chao Gai told Du Yan and Wei He in detail what happened in Jingnan City. Especially the bridge section of blackmailing rich people for money and grain, and asking the government for supplies. made the two big men scold and blossom again.

It is the corrupt officials and the rich businessmen who are unkind to the rich who are scolded.

I am happy that Chao Gai plans to let them see the prosperous and growing Chaojiazhuang.

It is impossible for thousands of people to march with hulala!

It is divided into three parts: the front, the middle army, and the rear team,

Among them, most of the Chinese army are craftsmen and small families, and the most important is the weak defense.

Chao Gai naturally wants to go over to sit in person and take care of the first and last teams. It's just that the baggage troops in the back, most of the food and supplies are there.

It takes a powerful general to be in charge!

Du Bai and Wei He volunteered to lead the team to escort the baggage.

Chao Gai felt that Boss Du was capable and calm. I agreed. With Yu Tai, the three horses escorted more than a dozen carriages to catch up with the Chinese army.

He settled the horse father and the recruited craftsmen, old and young, and saw that the team was vast but orderly, all of them were full of energy, and sometimes a militia team passed by. Before he could find Xiao Jiasui and ask about the situation, the other party spoke first.

"Brother, Yuan Lang came to report, I met a team in front of me, and I want to go to Chaojiazhuang and hope that my brother will take me in." Xiao Jiasui is obviously in the state.

"For no reason, where are you?" Chao Gai wondered! Then he woke up and said with a smile: "Hey, hey, is there something to hide from me?" ”

"Hey, I can't hide it from my brother." Xiao Jiasui smiled, his expression became solemn, and he said: "It's a strongman team, I heard that King Chao Tianwang helped refugees to make a living, and Hulala went down the mountain, not to rob the road, but to flee." ”

"Well, strongman!" Chao Gai rubbed his chin.

"These people are people who can't survive." Xiao Jiasui deliberately reminded.

"I know, I know, it's been a few days since I put down my hoe." Chao Gai nodded repeatedly. As long as it's not the kind of lack of virtue that smokes, it's okay to keep it.

It's the government over there, it's a bit choking!

Anyway, he's a good citizen, what's the matter with accepting strongmen.

Xiao Jiasui saw Chao Gai's silence and asked tentatively: "Is my brother worried about the imperial court?" ”

"Exactly, the impact is not good!" Chao Gai nodded.

"Hahaha, the officials everywhere can't wait for the strongman to go!" Xiao Jiasui laughed three times, and said confidently: "The little brother has a plan to ensure that nothing goes wrong." On the contrary, it will make the brother's fame even louder and spread everywhere. ”

"Oh, let's hear about it." Chao Gai's eyes lit up.

Xiao Jiasui leaned into his ear and muttered for a while, and suddenly he nodded in praise again and again. It is a good thing for someone to defect, and rejection often means closing the path of virtue.

Those who achieve great things have the capacity to tolerate people, and turn disadvantages into advantages!

……

In the evening, more than 1,000 members of the front army set up camp in a flat area. Cattle and horse carts are parked in a fan-shape, burying pots to make rice and feed cattle and horses.

More than 100 meters in front of the procession, there were more than 100 people, most of them in rags, all armed with knives, guns and sticks, and everyone looked at the convoy expectantly. A black-faced man carrying a big knife was negotiating with Yuan Lang.

These people are the strongmen who want to defect to Chao Gai!

It's not so much a bandit as a common man who can't survive. Yuan Lang was very sympathetic, he wanted to stay, and when he had the order, he would implement it even more.

It didn't take long for this big black man to converge in surprise and turn into ferocity. Let his subordinates press seven or eight men to the ground, tie them with ropes on their backs, and let the other party beg for mercy and scold, all the way to the woods not far away.

As a series of screams rang out, calm quickly returned to the grove. Yuan Lang carried the bloody knife and beckoned the group of strongmen to return to the team.

"Fathers and fellow villagers! Their fields were occupied, and they couldn't survive and fell into the grass. Most people are good, the evildoers are eradicated, and the rest are not evil. I wonder if the villagers can accept them to go north together? ”

"Yes, no problem, defect to the Heavenly King."

Two or three days ago, the refugees who were begging along the streets of Jingnan City and saw no hope were full of sympathy when they looked at these unclothed bandits. Thinking that if it weren't for Chao Gai, he would end up like this, and he couldn't help shouting, and the servants gathered.

No one noticed that the few people who had been dragged into the grove returned to the group in the middle of the night. It's just because this strongman team was persecuted by the Kutian Law and usually robbed and lived.

Eradicate the villains, but also for outsiders!

Early the next morning, the team set up camp and continued on their way.

The further north the mountain road, the more turbid, and the mountain bandits are as strong as cows. After the order was delivered, Pegasus stayed in the front army.

Whoever encounters a mountain with a strong man!

If a strong man comes to rob him, the big black man will lead people to rush over directly. Even if you don't, you have to perform a few shows as planned, and the more tragic the better.

If you are struggling to make ends meet, you will still be able to send food if you don't have food for the winter. If you are willing to be good, as long as you have not harmed anyone, you will be recruited into the team.

As long as you follow Chao Gai and ensure that you are well fed and clothed, you will not be persecuted. But if there is a skill, those who are strong in martial arts will be reused.

These news were spread by well-intentioned people, and many strong people along the way heard about them. Shandong Chao Tianwang is generous and righteous, who doesn't know about helping the needy?

The team crossed the border along the way, first with small groups of rogues coming to vote, and then there were large-scale strongman teams from the good. Those wicked people have long since run away consciously.

The former army originally consisted of only about 1,000 people, and Xiaoxing stayed overnight for seven or eight days. Gradually, it swelled to more than 2,000 people, and the trend continued to grow in size.

Chongzhou hit the government, the momentum was huge, and the government couldn't hide it.

When he learned that the king of Shandong Chao helped the poor refugees and took them north to make a living. Along the way, they encountered strongmen robbing the road, and several collisions occurred one after another, killing countless bandits. Along the way, the rogue and the strongman and the thief are all looking at the wind.

Most of them defected from the good! There are no bandits in the territory.

Happy to these magistrates! Spread the word Chao Gai is a real hero! There are even county magistrates, and state officials are afraid that there will not be enough food, so they send grain and materials.

How did Chao Gai not know that these guys were using this as an excuse to promote their exploits. I didn't bother to pay attention to these corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and warmly entertained the two heroes.

Yes, the strongman leaders who defected these days will take a few shots. Among them, the two strongman leaders have been personally tested, and their martial arts skills are good.

One is eight feet tall, powerful and powerful, named Liu Yijing.

A seven-foot-long, stocky and sturdy, called Shangguanyi.

Chao Gai was overjoyed after hearing this, and Wang Qingjun was the main and deputy vanguard in the original trajectory. Although he didn't have any outstanding achievements, he was able to serve as a pioneer officer and still had some ability, so he naturally received him in person and received him warmly.

Calculate and think about it, the backbone of the latecomers was almost preempted by him.

This is providential, no wonder he!
