"Look at those idiots, circling in the water."

"The land has become an official crossing, and these old soldiers knock on the bones and suck the marrow."

"Blackmailing money is small, the key is to see that this is not good, and it is unreasonable for strongmen not to rob them. The king's men were fed, clothed, and housed on the ship, and went through several battles. That's the elite, and the escort is also assured! ”

"Hey, I guess it won't be long before I'll have to take a detour again. How about letting the king's men engage in smuggling? It's convenient and hassle-free to take the waterway, how good it is! ”

"You don't see it, the docks and ships have been requisitioned."

"Brother Chen, isn't Old Lady Chen in Dingpu Village, outside Yangzhou City, your cousin? He has so many ships at home, do you resell some to Chao Tianwang? Find another place to operate a private ferry, and our fleet will also be guaranteed......"

……

On the wharf by the Jinsha River, after the notice of the establishment of the official ferry was posted. The principals of the caravans pushed and discussed, and unexpectedly learned that it was the Yunzhou government that made the ghost, and they scolded, looking at the river and sighing.

Some of the Xiang troops from Yunzhou were guarding on the shore, and groups of horse troops were galloping back and forth along the riverside, and the people were roaring and neighing, and the momentum was not small.

But the teams that pounced on the big and small ships were numb. Since many northerners don't know how to water or drive boats, boats turn and collide one by one, falling into the water from time to time, and the sounds of help and scolding are endless.

Some veterans have been lazy for years, either sneaking ashore to cats or lazy in the cabin, leaving behind the things about boat training and patrolling. There were quite a few people who came in groups to trouble those caravans.

Blackmailing money, knocking on bones and sucking marrow, they are the best!

Li Ganban, as the chief officer, heard the discussion of the caravan and saw that his own soldiers were so unbearable. Anger and panic coexisted, and the shouting and scolding were like a series of cannons. Personally running back and forth, urging these unsuccessful things to familiarize themselves with the ship.

The caravans in the past were blackmailed after paying their taxes, accumulating resentment. Compared to the Chaofu Guards, they can lend a helping hand at any time, just like heaven and earth. Everyone misses the Chao Heavenly King, and the merchant ships that come and go quickly move away.

Time flies, the red wheel falls westward, and the jade rabbit rises eastward.

On the wide Jinsha River, apart from the official ships anchored one after another and the tired Yunzhou soldiers came ashore, there was no merchant ship to be seen.

Night! In addition to the lights of the patrol fleet, the wharf and the ship were pitch black, except for the lights of the patrol fleet.

Today, there are no patrols in the past, and the bonfires in the camp on the shore are as bright as day. The soldiers sat around a ball of grilled fish and drank wine, bragging to each other, talking and laughing. The lights inside the wharf were bright, and a group of soldiers hid here to bet on gambling. The roar was heard far away.

Such an army without combat effectiveness is common!

Only symbolic sentry posts watch the river, and the sense of safety is extremely weak.

Unaware of it, the crisis is quietly approaching!

In the distance, fishing boats glide silently on the lake. There were many men squatting on the boat, dressed in different clothes and wrapped in tattered turbans. Everyone carried steel knives and looked at the banks of the Jinsha River, eager to try.

On a large fishing boat, a burly man with slender arms sighed: "In the past few months, I have eaten and slept in the mountains, slept and eaten, and gained more than a dozen pounds." Work your hands and feet well tonight, or you'll be wasted. ”

"Hahaha," a hearty laugh sounded in the cabin, and he poked out half of his head: "Brother Du, don't worry, your big knife will definitely be able to make a fortune." ”

"A strong man just wants to do business, otherwise what mountains and grass would he have gone up to the beginning?" The big man sighed, and looked at the river bank with gloomy eyes: "Straight lady thief, a group of wine bags and rice bags, came here to fight the autumn wind?"

He shook his nose, scolded the damned ghosts, and ordered a stop at the fork in the harbor,

The bonfires on the banks of the Jinsha River are lighthouses, and fishing boats of all sizes are driving in the dark. Except for the ripples of water, there was no fire and no sound.

……

At midnight, the bonfires on the banks of the Jinsha River were gradually extinguished.

The soldiers had already poured into the tents, and the guards were huddled in a ball.

Li Gan's office ran around to deal with various affairs and supervise the training of soldiers. Inspect the entire camp and arrange a vigil before dragging the tired body back to the barracks. I wanted to be on the boat, but it was a little uncomfortable to go up and down.

As the chief officer in person, I finally realized that the local army is really useless, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling are all about everything, and performing tasks will be cheating and tricky.

The fleets that paid taxes and evaded were gone, and although there were hundreds of dollars in half a day, Li Ganban felt that the caravans were getting fewer and fewer.

There are no caravans coming and going from all over the country, there are no taxes, and it is a blood loss. At this moment, he felt that it was a wrong decision to forcibly take this piece of fat.

It's a pity that life is like this, there is no regret medicine to take!

Thinking about these bad things, Li Ganban's eyelids were heavy and he snorted.

But in this daze, I suddenly heard shouts outside to kill the earth.

"Oh, the heroes of Liangshan touched Tiandu to move here, sons, kill me."

"Kill, kill all these government minions."

"They're from Yunzhou, rush me."

"The time for revenge has come, kill these brutes."

……

Li Ganban's original drowsiness disappeared in an instant, jumped from the couch to a high level, and rushed outside with a knife. I saw that the surface of the river was illuminated by torches as bright as day. Fishing boats burst out of the night, and strongmen poured ashore like a tidal wave.

The soldiers who were in charge of guarding several ships, either leaning against the cabins or sheltered from the wind, woke up from a sleepy-eyed state when they heard shouts of killing. But before he could raise his weapon to meet the enemy, he was stabbed to death by several knives.

Dozens or hundreds flew around, and tents were set on fire. The soldiers, who had been asleep for a long time, were awakened and saw the tent on fire and rushed out. Some were disheveled, some were barefoot, and some were panicked, looking at the flames soaring into the sky, shouting to kill the earth-shattering scene, and the two strands were trembling.

There is no sense of fighting at all, it is a rabble.

"Liangshan thieves are here, run!"

"They're really killing people, let's go."

"Take up arms, resist resistance, don't run ......"

The cries, shouts, swearing, and killing voices are intertwined, making the banks of the Jinsha River noisy. On the other hand, the strongmen of Shuibo Liangshan are highly disciplined and pounce quickly.

Whenever you encounter an official army, whether it is resisting or scurrying, you will be slashed with a knife! Then they formed groups of three or five, seven or eight groups, and advanced in a fan shape to encircle and suppress the officers and troops.

That's right, it's encirclement!

Unexpectedly, the Liangshan thieves really went down the mountain to sneak attack.

"Don't mess up, don't panic, move closer to me, take up arms and organize resistance." Li Ganban was stunned for a moment, and the situation became so chaotic. A group of panicked people learned from those group drills to shout loudly for the organization.

This trick really worked in the chaos, and the soldiers who were like headless flies gathered one after another. Soon there was a scale of several dozen people.

"Kill me!" Li Ganban drew his saber and roared. Then charge in the opposite direction of the bandits. The soldiers were stunned for a moment, then followed.

The shouts of killing shook the sky, and more and more soldiers joined in and ran fast. This scene of rushing in the opposite direction stunned a lot of minions.

In addition to fighting, this group of officers and soldiers can do everything else, and it is also ingenious to escape!

"it, sons, chase me after that official!" The big man with slender arms scolded when he saw this scene, and led people to chase and kill with a big knife.

"Kill, can't let them run, take revenge!"

The big man raised his arms and shouted, and the servants gathered, and many minions shouted, charging and killing.

King Chao led Zhuang Ke to report to the people, and he did not dare to go down the mountain for several months. The heroes of Liangshan held back the fire in their stomachs, and going down the mountain was not a small fight.

The sneak attack on the Jinsha Riverside Wharf was just a signal.

Xiliuzhuang in Yanggu County, Yunzhou, was also attacked by the heroes of Liangshan.

"Well, Liangshan Haoyun King Kong Song Wan is here, looking for Xie Dahu to borrow grain."

"Kill, there is a debtor and a master, only find Xie Baozheng's family."

The gong exploded, and under the leadership of a big man with two knives, hundreds of minions shouted to kill the heavens, and rushed to Zhuangzi like a tide.

What is the protective power of the two or three meter-high earthen wall, during this time, there is no strong man Zhuangshang The guard strength is relaxed, and several villagers are so frightened that they turn around and run.

Zhuangzi soon became a strong man and fought in many ways.

The heroes of Liangshan didn't go anywhere, and went straight to Xie Dahu, the richest man in the village. The result is not difficult to imagine, and he was killed by a strongman in three or two strokes. Everyone shouted to kill only the first evil, and the rest laid down their weapons and surrendered to the ground.

Shouts of killing, screams, and wild laughter mingled through the silent night sky and spread far away. The villagers in Xiliuzhuang were awakened one after another, picked up kitchen knives, and closed the doors and windows. I also heard Xie Baozheng's frightened and sharp shout.

"Block, stop! Come on, come on, resist the strongman......"

The hoarse shouting was a little sad and helpless!

The whole village could hear it, but not a single family came to help.

It's really that this guy surnamed Xie is not a thing, relying on his own Baozheng brother to work as an errand in the county, rampant in the township, bullying men and women, forcibly buying and selling good land, and wantonly increasing land rent, that is all evil.

I don't know how many people have suffered from it, and many people have died. But the people at the bottom don't have the money to fight lawsuits, and even if they do, they can't win. Now how can these Liangshan heroes find trouble with the surname Xie to help?

"The heroes of Liangshan are only for the sake of eliminating violence and peace, for the sake of money and food, the people should not be afraid."

The shouts of killing in Xiliuzhuang gradually subsided, and the strong people shouted for the people.

When the shrill voice came out, a scream came to an abrupt end. The people only felt that their hatred was greatly relieved, and some of the bereaved relatives were even crying.

When the law is useless, then solve it by force!

Chao Gai often said this to his subordinates, and he did the same thing tonight. Not only Xiliuzhuang, but also the most hated big families in Yunzhou, there will be a team of three or five hundred people who will take advantage of the darkness to get close and raid.

Du Bao, Wei He, Shangguan Yi and others from Jinghu Road let go of their hands and feet. Most of them were originally born strongmen, and they were very familiar with robbing and borrowing grain.

Shouting that Liangshan is here, or to avenge the cottage brothers, or to borrow grain, almost no people will help. One team after another entered the homes of large households, only the first evil was punished, and the rest were not to blame.

Then a huge cart of oxen and horses came to plunder the property......

Tonight is destined to be a carnival day in Liangshan, and there are at least a dozen people in the counties of Yunzhou who borrow grain from rich households, known as the eighteen thieves of Liangshan.
