Chapter 263 Coming to Qingzhou Again
Chao Gai led the team to leave Chaojiazhuang and went straight to Erlong Mountain in Qingzhou!
The goal of more than 1,000 people is too big, and they are divided into three teams in the front, middle and back to keep a distance of several miles. Han Shizhong, Han Yong, and Yelu Zonglin led two hundred guards to open the way. Three hundred female soldiers followed closely under the leadership of Hu Sanniang and Yelu Taribi. Chao Gai led Mount Tai, Chen Hu and more than 500 fierce men broke off.
Saving people is like fighting fire, and there was no delay on the road this time.
At most, the rear team is covered, and the squadron runs at both ends, and training is secondary. The main thing is that spring comes when vegetation grows, and people are taught to identify edible wild vegetables.
It can be said that he is the only one in the team who is busy.
Fortunately, it was said long ago that the army had discipline, and during the march, Li Qingwan and Li Shishi would not toss him, and he would only ask for some military knowledge at night.
There were two carriages in the procession, intended for a few small-footed women. When you're tired of riding a horse, get into the carriage and try to speed up your march as fast as possible. Li Shishi took advantage of this opportunity to lead the military band to play the march.
Three teams along the way, you chase me. If you don't enter the city, you can't stop in the town. Everyone stepped into the Qingzhou territory in the early morning of the third day.
A few months ago, Chao Gai came to Qingzhou, which was a mistake, and it was a time when the scenery withered. This time I came differently and saw Qingzhou in spring. Coupled with the guidance of Cao Zhenghun's Du family, Li Qingzhao, a talented woman, explained by the way what are the famous mountains and other good places, and he has a further understanding of this.
Qingzhou is one of the ancient Kyushu states in China, with a long history, giving birth to many cultures, and is the birthplace of Dongyi culture! Mountains and forests surround the plains everywhere, since the Qin and Han dynasties, it is one of the more developed areas of agricultural development, and it is also one of the few in the Great Song Dynasty. The prefect Murong Yanda will come here to make money.
The spring rain has been sprinkled, moisturizing things silently! In the distance, the green mountains are surrounded by green water, and the willow trees hang down thousands of silk silks and sway in the wind. Nearby, between the plains and mountains. Grass, lying on the ground, dotted with unknown wildflowers. The interdependence of spring flowers and plants makes this world like a picture scroll.
Wow, it's beautiful! This was the exclamation of the women in the ranks.
Master Li is used to eating and drinking, and when he recalls the past, he is like a canary in a cage. Where had she ever seen anything like this? I was stunned, and I almost didn't know the way back.
No wonder Li Qingzhao went to the countryside of Qingzhou to live in seclusion!
But for everyone, although they admired the beautiful scenery, they were just passers-by. In order to save people, he did not stop, beat the horse and whipped by, and never looked back.
Towards noon, the team arrived near Erlong Mountain.
You can see the majestic mountains from a distance, with a radius of dozens of miles, strange rocks, steep and rugged, no wonder the Qingzhou government has a group of strongmen.
Desperately, Saburo Shixiu took the Kong brothers and led dozens of people to leave the team and go south. They are peers, and they have to investigate the situation as planned.
Cao Zhenghun's family is a smart woman, and when she was more than ten miles away from Erlong Mountain, she deliberately found Chao Gai: "Brother, we have too many people to continue to get closer, so that those strongmen are alert and don't come out of the cottage." There is only one way up the mountain in Erlong Mountain, and it is not a way to attack it. ”
"I know this, I can only outwit it." Chao Gai nodded. He knew that this Erlong Mountain was a good place, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and he was also thinking about strategies on the way here. Quite simply, fortresses are often breached from within.
"Brother, what is your plan?" Li Qingwan asked curiously. Master Li stared at him with wide eyes. Like birds in a cage, they experienced the taste of marching outside, full of freshness and interest. Especially being able to be with a man is much better than being at home!
"Don't say it, don't say it!" Chao Gai smiled incomprehensibly and didn't say much. Actually, there is a fart strategy, just thinking of the right way to fight. The loss of storming Erlong Mountain must be heavy, and it is also the most stupid method.
"Brother and sister, let's go back and see Brother Cao Zheng first."
"Okay, the woman will lead the way, and everything will be arranged by my brother."
Confirming his next move, Chao Gai divided the team into multiple teams and poured into the forest to get closer in a roundabout way. Over mountains or detours, from all sides.
He took more than 20 people to act, and his entourage included Hu Sanniang, Yelu Tali, Guo Sheng, Chao Qiang, Li Qingwan, Li Shishi and other women. and more than a dozen personal guards to escort the return of Cao Zhenghun's family.
It didn't go far before the scout team spotted a Fu Lu minions in front of them, which was obviously Erlong Mountain's eyeliner. It's just that the hidden means are clumsy to be detected.
But it also shows that the strongmen on Erlong Mountain are very vigilant.
It's like in the novel, it's to bring a large group of people to kill them directly. People don't close the door with you, ash bottles, cannons, rolling wood and stones to greet you. With the steep mountain of Erlong Mountain, it is difficult for thousands of troops and horses to overcome.
Which one eats raw rice is good at stubble?
Chao Gai told everyone to be on guard, take a detour to avoid the minions, and continue to move forward.
At noon, the steep Erlong Mountain was in sight, and I also saw the village store located at the entrance of the village. Sure enough, there are always three or five minions watching nearby.
It's hard to get in quietly!
"Brother, I'm a woman, why don't you go back first?" Cao Zhenghun's family asked.
"No, it's not safe for you to show up suddenly!" Chao Gai decisively refused.
"Then we ......" the woman was moved and hesitated.
"Well! Let's take a detour and climb the mountain into the village, first, you greet the villagers first, and second, take a look at Brother Cao Zheng, and then I have my own arrangements. Chao Gai looked at the steep mountain, and there was a plan in his heart.
If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger!
Chao Gai and the others first took off the iron armor on their bodies and put them in the carriage, dressed up as passing merchants. The horses could not follow, and a few men were left to watch the horses. Under the leadership of Du Shi, a group of 20 people made a detour over the mountains and mountains.
A few small-footed women tasted the bitterness of the mountain road.
Fortunately, they are good with each other, and they can directly carry or hug them when they encounter rugged mountain roads. Li Qingzhao also has Hu Sanniang, and Yelu Tali takes care of her. It's just that when I looked at my sister-in-law's look on Chao Gai's back, there was envy in her eyes. Who doesn't want a man who takes care of themselves everywhere?
Anyway, taking an unusual road, no one noticed, and no strongmen were found along the way.
Half an hour later, I finally entered the mountain village.
Cao Zhenghun's Du family acted according to the plan, went door to door and informed that there were rescuers to exterminate the strongman. The people who had suffered so much were overjoyed.
Chao Gai found himself and everyone around him wearing summer military uniforms made of good fabric. I paid for some old clothes and put one on everyone's outside.
The accompanying woman dressed as a village girl is simply a villager of Dujia Village.
It's basically hard for outsiders to tell the difference.
Chao Gai asked Guo Sheng and Chao Qiang to lead people to listen to the letter at the farmer's house, and he took a few people to follow Cao Zhenghun's house to the back door of the village store and knocked lightly.
The one who opened the door was an eighteen or nineteen-year-old offspring, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, good facial features, round head and big ears, white skin, and a pair of small eyes. The appearance is five or six points similar to Du's, and when he saw the woman's surprise, he was slightly puzzled: "Sister, are you back?" Help, please? ”
"It's coming!" Du Shi smiled when he saw his younger brother.
"Is your brother-in-law okay?"
"Hey, I can get out of bed with my arms hanging."
"Rabbits don't eat the grass next to the nest, and those strong people don't pay attention to it."
"Less poor mouth, hurry up and flash aside."
……
Between the questions and answers, the sister and brother invited Chao Gai and the others into the backyard, and quickly closed the door.
"Sister, just these few people? Three men and five women? Hou Sheng looked at Chao Gai and the others, counted back and forth, and looked at his own Du Shi with some doubts.
"You know what? The team was outside, so they hurriedly brewed some tea and brought it up. Du Shi looked at his brother lovingly and disgustedly, and then asked about the situation in the store, and then asked Chao Gai and the others to come to the main house through the backyard.
During this time, it was obviously a lot of harm from the strongmen of Erlong Mountain. The guys in the shop, all with sticks in their hands, looked at the door warily. When they saw Cao Zhenghun's Du family, they saluted one after another, and their attitude was very respectful.
"Brother, in addition to having money and land in the family, the men in my family also have some sticks and kicks...... Du Shi was afraid that Chao Gai and the others would be puzzled, and said while leading the way. It is not difficult to see from the laughter that he is very satisfied with the ghost Cao.
Chao Gai smiled and nodded without saying a word, learning a lot of information from Lin Chong.
Cao is a native of Kaifeng Prefecture, Tokyo, born as a butcher for generations, and is very good at slaughtering livestock, known as the knife ghost. He once worshipped Lin Chong, the head of the 800,000 forbidden army, as a teacher, and stayed in the forbidden army for a few months, but unfortunately his personality was a little upright, and he offended the officials for the military salary, so he left in a rage. Later, he went to Shandong to do business for the rich man, but he couldn't return to his hometown because he lost all his capital, so he joined a farmer's family as a son-in-law and opened a hotel at the entrance of the village.
They followed the woman through the grass house for a few days to the back room, and before they could enter, they saw medicine boiling on the stove in the courtyard, and a strong smell of herbs permeated.
Du Shi lifted the curtain and shouted outside: "Master, come out quickly." ”
"Sister-in-law, it's great that you're fine!" A man's surprise sounded from inside the room.
Immediately after, a big man hurriedly walked out, but he limped. His left arm was still hanging, his nose was broken and his face was swollen, and he looked a little miserable. Despite this, he ran to the woman's side and asked for warmth.
"Sister-in-law, it's okay if you're fine, I'm worried about it these days!"
Du Shi's face flushed, gently supported his man, and pointed to Chao Gai in the courtyard: "The head of the house, the distinguished guest is here, guess who that person is?" ”
Cao Zheng followed his wife's guidance and looked over, only to see that although Chao Gai was wearing a peasant cloth robe, he couldn't hide his temperament. I saw that he was burly and tall, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a dignified appearance, and a strange short hair, just standing like that, but there was a sense of self-pride without anger.
Looking at the beautiful appearance of the few women around him, they are by no means ordinary.
Cao Zheng has been in Bianliang City for many years, and he has seen many big people. I also heard a lot about Chaojiazhuang in Jeju, Shandong, and looked at Chao Gai and muttered: "Sister-in-law, isn't it desperate San Lang Shixiu or Xiao Tianbao Suding?" ”
"No, guess again?"
"Po Han Wu Han Shizhong? Sairengui Guo Sheng? ”
"Oops, you're stupid!" Du Shi scolded with a smile and whispered in his ear. I only saw the small eyes of the man with a blue nose and swollen face instantly rounded, and he grinned with his teeth that hurt from the wound, and the stunned look on his face turned into surprise again.
"Brother Cao Zheng, Chao is one step late." Chao Gai smiled and led everyone over.
"Brother Tianwang, the younger brother is clumsy, he doesn't even recognize his brother, and he hopes to atone for his sins." Cao Zheng came back to his senses and broke free from Du Shi and limped over.
