Chapter 192: The Down-and-Out Head of the Hong Sect
The morning sun rises slowly in the east, and the morning after the Lantern Festival seems to be mixed with spring.
Last year's snow was everywhere, but it wasn't as cold!
The eye-catching signs on the mountain have attracted many minions to gather. The ringleader of the literacy and hyphenation read aloud so that everyone could hear clearly.
Shanzhai is far away in Liangshan Dazhai, and those who are willing to follow pack up their belongings, and those who are unwilling to follow will go to receive severance pay, return to their hometowns or find another way out......
Yes, this similar scene once happened on Mount Magnolia. Tang Bin, Wen Zhongrong, and Cui Yi, the three masters of Baoqian Mountain, unanimously abandoned the village and went to Shuibo Liangshan. In fact, it should be said that I went to the back garden of Chaojiazhuang to settle down.
At the banquet last night, Chao Gai told the three of them the truth about the things he had brought people to do. For example, forcibly taking the birth gang, attacking Wangjiaji and Songjiazhuang at night, and attacking Yunzhou at night. made a big fuss in Bianliang City, castrated Gao Yanei, destroyed Gao Yu's 3,000 horsemen, rushed to save Xu Ning, and snatched the emperor's good ......
This one by one, one big incident, is all about bullying the government. Others can blow for a lifetime, and everyone on the rivers and lakes gives a thumbs up.
Chao Gai did it all alone, quietly and secretly, and so far there has been no rumor, and the court will issue a holy decree to force him to be an official.
You can do bad things to this point! Tang Bin, Wen Zhongrong, and Cui Yi admired the five-body throw. Thinking of my own petty fight, is it not ashamed?
It is too far away from Liangshan, so it is imperative to go to Chaojiazhuang in the small village of Baoqishan Mountain.
There are more than 1,600 fighters in the cottage, including nearly 3,000 people from their respective families.
There was not much money in the treasury, and grain, pig iron, cloth, and tea were piled up. The reason why supplies are so abundant is because there are so many caravans coming and going.
Due to its proximity to the Northland, the largest number of cattle and sheep are livestock, with more than 3,000 heads. There are more than 800 war horses on the calf mountain, and the number of inferior horses has doubled.
Nowadays, even people and supplies are flocking to Jeju, Shandong, which is not a small matter. Everyone on the calf mountain packed up and waited for the response team of Chaojiazhuang.
These trivial matters are dealt with for at least a few days, and it is very important to go north to buy horses.
At the gate of the cottage, a group of people led the horses and walked down the mountain.
It was Chao Gai, who was about to leave after arranging things, that took Hao Siwen's hand: "Brother Hao, the team of Hugging Calf Mountain will be handed over to you to command, and it will be regarded as a drill, divided into seventeen or eighteen caravans or refugee ......"
"Brother, rest assured, the younger brother will definitely learn more and ask more questions, and there will be no mistakes." Hao Siwen remembered Chao Gai's advice and nodded again and again to reassure.
This man looks decadent compared to yesterday's unshaven beard. Now with a smile on his face, he can be said to be refreshed and renewed, as if he has changed into a different person.
Last night, when everyone was drinking in the side hall. The well wood rin hurriedly pushed the door in, bowed to Chao Gaina, and whipped and fell into the stirrups.
Chao Gai did not disappoint him, and mentioned to him how Chaojiazhuang was prosperous, how to strengthen the soldiers and horses, and let him and Tang Bin each command a battalion of cavalry.
At that time, not to mention Tang Bin, Hao Siwen and others were stunned.
Even Hu Cheng, who knew very little, was dumbfounded.
Don't look at the fact that there are only two commanders of 1,000 people, but the expansion of the army is the commander of one army. This is much higher than the starting point of his thirty years of mixing and still being a white body.
Hao Siwen has spent so many years, how can he be unhappy? I also realized that the truth of what is called a tree moving the dead and moving the living is just as important as it is for people.
"I believe in you! Don't be careless in everything, always be vigilant, and strike decisively. Chao Gai patted Hao Siwen's shoulder, said two more words, turned around and took a package from Han Shizhong's hand, and handed it to Cui Yi: "Brother, if your cousin comes, give him this settlement fee." ”
"Brother, don't worry!" Cui Yi hurriedly took it with both hands, checked it and sighed: "Oh, a hundred taels of gold, you must have given that kid a fart." ”
"Hahaha......" The crowd burst into laughter.
"Three brothers, take care." Chao Gai Chong Hao Siwen, Wen Zhongrong, and Cui Yi hugged their fists to say goodbye, then turned over and got on their horses, and led the team down the calf mountain.
The three of them were sent down the mountain and watched the procession go away.
When they returned to the mountain, they were amazed by what they saw.
"Assemble, assemble, look to the right!"
On the cottage school field, the veterans of the Chaojia Army's personal guard battalion roared like thunder, many minions hurriedly lined up, and those who were slow to react were touched on the head and slapped on the head. Screams, laughter, phalanxes formed.
As in the case of Hujiazhuang, a team of veterans stayed behind to become instructors. Hurry up and train these strong, but undisciplined minions.
……
Besides, Chao Gai led people out of Baoqian Mountain, went north again, and asked for directions along the way! In addition to the original team, Tang Bin took two hundred elite cavalry to the front and rear teams, training with the team, and preparing more for the future team.
Two teams, one in front and one behind, chased forward.
Five heroes joined, especially Tang Bin, who was at the level of the Five Tigers of Liangshan. Jing Mu Qian Hao Siwen is not bad, he can be literate and martial, and he is a general.
Chao Gai was in a good mood, hit by mistake, and met a hero when he went the wrong way. Next, I don't know how many thugs I met along the way, and I was even happier.
After another three or two days, the path was correct!
During the march, Chao Gai talked and laughed with Han Shizhong, Lin Chong, Su Ding and others around him, talking about heroes and heroes everywhere, and the big officials of Cangzhou Chai Jinchai who were about to arrive.
He always felt like something was missing!
It wasn't until noon, when I was resting in an open field, that I remembered.
It should be said that someone came to the door!
Hu Sanniang came to Chao Gai's side and said, "Brother Ling Feng, I also want to lead the troops." ”
"Huh? You also lead troops? Chao Gai was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that the woman was not chattering in her ears. No wonder it's hard along the way, it turns out that this one is missing.
"Uh-huh! I'm no worse than them. Hu Sanniang nodded like pounding garlic.
"It's dangerous to go into battle!" Chao Gai grinned, and when he saw the woman's longing little eyes, he knew that she had been silent thinking about this matter.
"I know, but I will learn to lead soldiers into battle, and I also believe that I am no worse than others." Hu Sanniang showed two little tiger teeth, and her pretty face was full of determination.
"Alright! Allows you to recruit a female soldier! Chao Gai thought for a moment and agreed, and when he saw that the woman was about to cheer, he added: "First become a female medical soldier, a female medical officer on the battlefield who performs well, and finally go into battle to kill the enemy." ”
"Woo woo...... Hu Sanniang pouted and shook her body.
"Don't do this, the battlefield is not child's play, and you can't do it if your psychological quality is not good." Chao Gai had a cold face and a bad attitude, but he pulled the woman aside and said that the tragedy on the battlefield was much more tragic than that of the Mengzhou human flesh workshop.
The two leaned together and talked in an intimate posture!
Tang Bin, who joined the newcomer, bumped into it and didn't know much about the relationship between Hu Sanniang and Chao Gai. When asked Lin Chong, Su Ding himself learned that he was a heroine among women.
For lunch, I had stewed vermicelli with pork, stir-fried bacon, and rice pickles.
The old rules, Hu Sanniang picked all the fat into the Chaogai bowl, in exchange for the lean meat and munched on it, without any ladylike image, and looked at Chaogai angrily. She couldn't beat it, she couldn't talk about it, so she could only reluctantly accept the arrangement.
The soldiers devoured it, packed up the cooking utensils, dishes and chopsticks, and set off again.
Along the way, I was hungry and thirsty, stayed at night, and temporary special training was indispensable.
After another day, I stepped into the border of Cangzhou!
When passing by a market town, Han Shizhong led the team first.
Chao Gai took Lin Chong, Hu Sanniang and others into the market town to buy some daily necessities such as medicinal herbs and horse food. The market town is small in size, but it has a lot of organs.
Shops and restaurants are all the same, not long after the Lantern Festival, the lanterns on both sides of the street are still the same, people come and go, shouting constantly, very lively.
Hu Sanniang is beautiful and energetic, look at this and that, provoke the stall owner to smile, praise the lady for her beauty, and take the opportunity to sell and boast about it.
Another big black man, Li Kui, is vicious-looking, and he is also bumping into each other, scaring others to scream, so he almost shouted to the master to catch the black bear spirit.
The encounter between the two made everyone laugh!
I walked around this market town and bought medicinal herbs and all kinds of supplies. The crowd was about to leave the market town, and when they were at the busiest stretch of road, Lin Cheng suddenly stopped. His face was complicated and a little melancholy looking at the intersection ahead.
"What's the matter, brother?" Seeing this, Chao Gai asked and looked over. At the intersection of the street ahead, the crowd of people who played the show scattered. You can see a burly man inside who is packing up his sticks, shaking his head and sighing from time to time, and the copper coins in the gong next to him can be counted at a glance.
"Do you know this man?" Chao Gai saw that Lin Chong's face was different, and asked curiously.
Lin Chong's eyes showed reminiscences and sighed: "Hey, the little brother has just come to Cangzhou." I met this person, and he fell into this field, most of which had something to do with me. ”
Lin Chong has a cowardly personality and doesn't cause trouble, so where can he offend others? Chao Gai thought about it for a while, and then he knew who the man was: "Oh, it's the head of the Hong sect?" ”
"Exactly, this person is good at martial arts, but he doesn't want to ......" Lin Chong sighed for a long time.
Chao Gai guessed that he was ashamed when he saw his appearance, so he instructed Lu Fang to invite Hong Sect Leader to talk, and he led people to leave here quickly.
The man who picked up the gun on the side of the street was none other than Hong Jiaotou, named Hong Qiang, a native of Henghai County, Cangzhou. Since childhood, he has learned the "Hongmen Thirteen Sticks, Hongjia Boxing", making a magic stick and a good marksmanship! He was famous in Cangzhou, and was hired as a teacher by Chai Jin, a descendant of the royal family of the former dynasty.
It's just that for various reasons it didn't fall to this point, and packed up the guns. He sighed as he looked at the scarce copper coins in the gong, and bitterness appeared on his burnt face. It seems that the only way to make a living is to leave Cangju and go to Jeju.
He was knocked over by Lin Chong with a stick, felt ashamed, and left Chai Jinzhuang. At the beginning, he was also resentful, but later he only hated himself, and was touted for not being able to find the east, west, north and south, having no eyes, recognizing the wrong person, and underestimating the heroes of the world. Falling into this field is purely self-inflicted.
Bang, the gong trembled and pulled back the thoughts of Hong Jiaotou, and when he saw that there was an extra ten taels of silver in the gong, he looked up and saw that it was a handsome young man.
"Your Excellency, why did you reward so much money?"
The handsome young man was none other than Lu Fang, who was ordered to invite someone, clasped his fists and saluted: "Sect Leader Hong, my family's senior officials invite you to talk about it." ”
"I don't know which official it is?"
"Sect Leader Hong, you will know when you go, come on!"
Lu Fang didn't say much, and helped pack up his things and led the way in front. Hong Jiaotou felt that he was so miserable, and he had no scruples about leaving only his life, nor did he suspect him, so he followed Lu Fang with a little apprehension.
Which official invited him?
