The island occupied by the salt lord gang led by Ma Yuan is in the midst of dozens of island groups, and it is not only very hidden. Moreover, there are reefs all around, and dangers are lurking, and under normal circumstances, you can't enter without an acquaintance to lead the way.

Although the island is not large, it is as long as a bull's horn, and it has fresh water resources, forests, etc. There are also large tidal flats, which belong to the best salt works.

After the field trip, Chao Gai thought that the geographical environment was good. I used this place as a base. Using this as a bridgehead and sending troops to garrison it not only made it easy to control the surrounding islands, but also facilitated the Northern Expedition.

Cooperate with the small village of Dengyun Mountain to form a watchful trend.

Chaojiazhuang learned the news that the Second Army of the garrison army transported a large number of grains and supplies to the selected bay and transported them to Dengyun Mountain in a steady stream.

The cavalry Xu Ning's Fourth Army was temporarily stationed at Dengyun Mountain.

Out of the forest dragon Zou Yuan, the unicorn dragon Zou Run saw the fully armed and well-trained soldiers, surprised, happy and envious, and personally led the team to carry out construction. Choose a suitable place on the mountain as a garrison to strengthen the defense of the cottage.

And the Laizhou naval base also sent a fleet to Yandao. There were not only soldiers who could fight well, but also skilled craftsmen who could build fortifications and find suitable places to build docks......

Two places planned, everything is in order.

On the third day of the attack on Salmon Island, the forbidden army broke open the cell and the news broke. The Dengzhou Navy Division's Naval Garrison Department was dispatched to block the sea area for investigation.

But the transportation is not convenient, and it will take a few days for Bianliang City to learn the news. If you give instructions or send someone to strictly order the investigation, it will take even longer. came and went, ten days and a half months passed, and eating couldn't catch up with the heat.

The transmission of information is sluggish, Chao Gai is very disdainful of this, there are traces in the first place, but after so many days, a bird can finally be found.

He sat in Dengyun Mountain, stayed for three days, started construction at the same time on land and water, there were many people, and he was busy in full swing, and the progress was very rapid.

In addition to paying attention to the construction of the fortress, he accompanied his wife to tour the mountains and rivers, collect wild grapes, wild oranges, etc., Li Shishi and Li Qingzhao sisters did not talk about eating sour. So now I have the opportunity to pick a lot of wild fruits.

In addition, deep in the mountains, a lot of wild kudzu roots have been found. The intertwined roots are like dragons, like a treasure to collect and transplant. A large area of land in Dengyun Mountain was reclaimed and planted with wild kudzu.

Originally, Chao Gai wanted to stay here for a few more days, but Bianliang City made another move, and Tong Guan sent a-stirring stick, so he could only lead the team back to Chaojiazhuang.

The extermination of Zengtou City is cool, but the stakes are significant. Although Wu Yong gave a gift and someone said good things, it was a bit of a sequelae after all. One is the official headed by Zhao Liangsi, the squire, who presided over the destruction of Lianjin, and repeatedly slandered.

It is said that the news of the killing of a large number of Jurchens has had a bad impact after it spread. There is no specific mention of a specific thing, but it is a roundabout thing that says bad things.

How can Song Huizong Zhao Ji sometimes be sober and think that Zengtou City robbers are also! Oppressing the people and openly robbing the wedding gifts of the court officials is a heinous crime. If he really punishes his own officials, where is the face of the Great Song Dynasty?

Therefore, this matter should not be mentioned again!

The Privy Council Tong Guan couldn't make a fuss about it, and he couldn't swallow this breath. If the plan fails, another plan will be born, and the above board plan will continue.

So he advised the emperor to let Chao Gai prepare for the Northern Expedition as soon as possible. The Eighth Emperor Huizong is not bullshit, and the foolish worm really agreed. Not only did they send a special person to urge, but they also generously allocated a batch of money and grain to subsidize it.

Tong Guan thought that his treacherous plan had succeeded, and for this reason, he also sent his henchmen to lead 5,000 elites to help. Destroy the water invaders and let Chao Gai's Northern Expedition be cannon fodder.

Cai Jing and Yang Jian, the two traitors, are extremely dissatisfied!

It's just that the emperor agreed, and Chrysostom couldn't change it. But traitors will be powerful. Just like a common phenomenon in later generations, there are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom.

Before leaving, the envoy who led the team was interviewed by Cai and Yang, two big figures, and explained a lot of things. In a word, be flexible according to the actual situation. The purpose is not to lose the cash cow of Chaojiazhuang.

The envoy from Bianliang City arrived at Chaojiazhuang on August 24. Responsible for greeting is the military division wisdom and multi-star Wu Yong, the scene is grand and grand. The drums were noisy, the firecrackers were ringing out, and the colleague of Pavilion Chief Liu brought cordiality.

The envoy brought not only gold, silver, silk and a few boatloads of grain, but also the urging of the emperor. But the conversation was very polite, without the slightest hint of arrogance.

However, this is not the reason why Chao Gai is in a hurry to return.

Instead, the forbidden army dispatched to assist in Tongguan, ten battalions, six steps and four cavalry, and five thousand people, led by his confidant general Zhao Tan, arrived in Chaojiazhuang one day ahead of schedule. Compared with the imperial court envoys, the attitude is very arrogant and even bad.

On the day he came, he did things for the barracks station, food and grass. Chaojiazhuang has always taken hard style as the standard in the army, and has never been accustomed to others. The other party wanted to occupy the forbidden army camp and was driven away, so he could only set up camp.

Two forbidden army garrisons, one on the left and one on the right.

As for the grain, to be resettled in the army, the order has not been signed, it does not belong to the establishment system, and it is supplied with old grain at a low price.

Zhao Tan ran to the city lord's mansion to scold Huai, with a gun and a stick. said that Chaojiazhuang is like a city with the name of a village, Chao Gai was ordered to suppress bandits, but he was nowhere to be found, and so on.

Anyway, no one pays attention to him, like a clown jumping off the beam.

In fact, these people have a bad attitude, and their patience will pass.

However, it touched the bottom line of Chaojiazhuang. I don't know if these soldiers are of low quality or if someone deliberately instructed them to intercept passing caravans, people, and people in the streets, if they were not patrol soldiers, it would not have been a major incident.

In just three days, there were many people who went to the city lord's mansion to complain.

After several military advisors of the Chao family army discussed, they unanimously treated them severely. Not only was a ban issued to this forbidden army, but no one was allowed to enter the city unless it was ordered by the military. The 8th Cavalry Corps and the 1st Infantry Corps were stationed on the left and right of the opposing camp.

At first, these forbidden troops disdained the ban, and still swaggered to enter the city, but I was stopped and driven away, and then the other party gathered 180 people to make trouble, but they were all beaten down by the soldiers of the city garrison.

After being beaten, there are a lot of honesties, but there are still bad deeds.

The toilet water and soaps sold in Chaojiazhuang are of high quality and low price, and are quite popular. Best-selling everywhere, local sales are even more popular, the little daughter-in-law of ten miles and eight towns, the big girl, there is nothing to do, three or three to come to Chaojiazhuang to shop.

A few village girls from a nearby village came to the market with baskets on their shoulders. Although she is said to be a village girl, she is not very old and looks handsome, especially one of the girls who is twenty-eight years old, with outstanding appearance, and several women talk and laugh. Discussed going into the city to buy some toilet water, ripping some good fabrics and so on.

However, women are sometimes too beautiful and can easily get into trouble. As soon as I turned the corner, unexpectedly, a few angry forbidden soldiers came to meet me, and I saw an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl among the village girls, with willow eyebrows and big eyes, and her skin could pinch out water, and she looked pretty, which made the eyes of several military men light up and whistle. Not only did he spread his hands to stop a few women, but he kept whispering: "Little lady, little lady, come and play." ”

"What are you doing? This is Chaojiazhuang, you'd better not mess around. Several village girls were so frightened that they avoided again and again, but they shouted with courage.

Instead of being afraid, several forbidden soldiers laughed arrogantly: "Hahaha, what is Chaojiazhuang?" We are Tong Shu's subordinates, so what can Chao Gai do? Come to help suppress the bandits, who dares to stop them? ”

The noise here made pedestrians on the side of the road stop and watch it all. There were many people who were filled with righteous indignation, and there were also many people who looked at the clothes of a few soldiers, shook their heads and sighed, and they saw that this was the new forbidden army.

I've only been here for three days and I've done a lot of bad things.

It is not uncommon to bully the common people and molest women from good families like this.

"Little lady, come, play with my brother."

Several forbidden soldiers moved back and forth like cats and mice to block the way, and several village girls couldn't get around, so they hurriedly retreated or pushed people desperately. A man of twenty-five or sixteen years old looked like a ruffian, and grabbed the youngest girl, his face full of lewdness, and he laughed evilly.

"Ah, let go, let go, come on!" The girl struggled violently, her face full of grievances. But the woman's strength is too small to break free at all.

There were more and more people around, and some people wanted to step forward to restrain themselves, but they were pulled by the extension. Most of the people like them will be retaliated against if they come forward.

Just when the girl's face was helpless, and tears were about to burst out of her eyes.

Just when the sweet-lipped Janissary wanted to have a good time.

There was a terrible sound of breaking the air, and an arrow stabbed the forbidden soldier in the shoulder, causing the other party to scream loudly and retreat again and again. The girl took the opportunity to get out, and although she was stunned, she met with her companion as soon as possible.

Including the forbidden army who was hit by the arrow, and everyone present flew in the direction where the arrow was coming, only to see a team surging from the east. Everyone rode a tall horse, draped all over their bodies, all holding sharp blades, and they were murderous, and there were many heroic female soldiers among them.

At the front of the team, a female general dressed in a heroic posture was bending her bow, the bowstring trembling, her apricot eyes widened, and she looked at this side angrily.

"Heavenly King, is Chao Heavenly King back?"

Some people among the people saw the big man riding a black horse at the front of the procession, dressed in military uniform, and the majesty exuded made people dare not look at it directly. Some people who had seen Chao Gai immediately shouted, which immediately made the surrounding people boil.

Most of them raised their arms with excitement and shouted the king, some galloped towards the approaching horse team and said that the forbidden army was causing trouble, and some even prostrate on the ground. Shouting out Mr. Chao or something, anyway, the atmosphere at the scene was warm.

Which forbidden soldiers saw that they were not good, and their companions who were hit by arrows wanted to take advantage of the chaos to leave. But he never thought that the patrol team of the Chao family army had already arrived to block a few people. Watching Chao Gai lead the team back, everyone was overjoyed.

I can finally clean up these deflated three!

Chao Gai's face was very ugly at this time, and murderous intent flashed in his eyes. From Dengzhou non-stop, it took two days to arrive at Chaojiazhuang, but I saw such a scene, and the team that Tong Guan transferred to assist dared to tease the people's girls. Looking at the expressions of the people is not once or twice, and the nature is extremely bad.

This made him angry and murderous.

Some people touch the red line, no matter who he is, then he will directly show his sword!
