Chapter 428: Jeju Storm

The situation in Liangshan that Zhao Tan, the warden of the soldiers and horses, learned about the situation in Liangshan, whether it was true or false, but his confidant did not know the other. The operation was under the supervision of the three major intelligence agencies of the Chaojia Army, the Military Intelligence Department, the Security Bureau, and the Black Snake Guard, and there was nothing to hide.

Yang Zhi did not move from beginning to end, but only acted as a follower to monitor the army. The Praetorian fleet was attacked by fire, and the siege on three sides was a strategy formulated by the combat command. Is Zhao Tanbu, who is rash of the enemy, undefeated?

The blue-faced beast Yang Zhi did not listen to the order, and sent troops privately, resulting in the loss of more than 500 soldiers, and soon after his return, he was summoned to the Chaojiazhuang City Lord's Mansion to reprimand.

If you can do it, if you can't do it, get out!

Several military and political bigwigs slapped the table, and the shouting and scolding spread far away, which was intimidating.

The news that Zhao Tan, the commander of the soldiers and horses, sent troops to exterminate the Shuibo strongman but returned in defeat spread quickly around Chaojiazhuang as if he had grown wings. According to people familiar with the matter, he was ambushed again and fled back in embarrassment.

Before the expedition, there were 130 warships, but now there are less than 50. Of the more than 160,000 soldiers, less than one-third of them returned alive. Even Liu Menglong, the commander of the Jiankang Mansion's water division, did not know where to go.

Many pieces of news were revealed one by one.

The streets and alleys of the city, restaurants and tea shops, are all discussing this matter. This is also true of market towns such as Jinsha Wharf and cattle and sheep trading areas outside the city.

If you win the battle, you are a hero, and if you return defeated, you will be slandered.

Such as Zhao Tan, who has become the object of heated discussion,

Zhao Dujian and the forbidden army under his command did not dare to go out of the barracks, for fear of being pointed out and discussed.

Life is full of tribulations, and dead pigs don't listen to persuasion.

Zhao Wanli, the iron spear who also belonged to the generals of the forbidden army, and Yang Zhi, the blue-faced beast, gathered to confide. Wu Yong, the wisdom of the Chao family's army, led the generals with supplies and came with good words of relief. It's a colleague anyway, so why don't you come to visit the army and condole!

There's no need to be sarcastic, that's too petty!

The successive fiascos seemed to hit Zhao Tan, and he kept shrinking in the barracks. You may be ashamed and brave enough to study a strategy, or you may be thinking about how to ask for help.

And as the news of the defeat of the bandits spread, people questioned the ability of this soldier and horse superintendent. In particular, the caravans with different parts of the country had the most discussions.

Some people say that he relied on his whiskers and horses in the army and had no skills, some people said that he could hold a high position by hugging Tong Guan's thighs, some people said that he did not understand military affairs and commanded indiscriminately, and some people said that he did not listen to advice in water warfare......

In short, people are terrible and say everything.

Zhao Tan suddenly became a man of the year in Yuncheng and even Jeju.

However, three days later, there was another big event in the middle of the night, which changed the direction of public opinion!

A bold strongman attacked Yuncheng County late at night, causing a sensation.

This matter has to start with Qingzhou.

Do you remember what we said about Song Jiang earlier? This guy was almost gouged out after passing through Qingfeng Mountain. How do you know that the time will come, and the blessing will come after the catastrophe, and the original big boss Jinmao Hu Yanshun will abdicate, and the second master will push it.

Several leaders led by Wang Jiang of Baqingzhou Xintou Mountain are not easy to oppose. Song Jiang became the leader of Qingfeng Mountain, and there were more than a thousand minions under him.

Take a crucial step to change your fate.

Song Jiang is a person who has been mixed up in Yuncheng officialdom, and he is very good at playing with power. He will also buy people's hearts, try his best to make friends with several leaders internally, often walk around the cottage, comfort the bottom minions, and give away money.

Strict training of foreign organization teams, raiding homes and houses, and plundering the materials needed for cottages. Reinforcement of fortifications was deployed to deal with the officers and soldiers.

Every day, I would eat a large piece of meat and drink wine in a large bowl with a few leaders in the cottage.

In the blink of an eye, more than a month later, after Song Jiang served as the big leader, the cottage had a new atmosphere. The buildings on the cottage are neatly arranged, and there are rogue gangsters one after another, with a total number of more than 2,000 people, and more than 1,500 fighting minions.

And I don't know if Song Jiang did it intentionally or unintentionally, the minions were divided into three battalions, each battalion had 500 people, and the leader was appointed, and there were small leaders, captains, and elite minions below, and the number of people leading the team was fixed, just like an army.

The defense of the two passes in front of the mountain has been strengthened, and which battalion is responsible for sending additional manpower to guard, which team patrols, and takes turns to be on duty, is clear and clear. Carefully experienced, it is very much the shadow of Chao Jiajun, and it looks good.

Many of the copycat minions received Song Jiang's silver money, and many said that he was good. The whole village knows that the big leader has been an official, and he is known as Shandong and timely rain.

Qingfeng cottage, strong soldiers and strong horses, has a great reputation in the surrounding area.

In fact, it is not good if it is not sluggish, more than 2,000 strong people are not engaged in production, where do they come from to eat, drink and Lazar? It's all blue roads and paths, robbing homes and houses to plunder.

The caravans were unlucky, they lost their goods, and their bad luck was gone. The people in the surrounding dozens of miles are not good. Most of the chickens and ducks, cattle and sheep raised at home were robbed, and at most a few copper plates.

The strongmen plundered wildly, and the people suffered and complained.

Regarding the rumors of the outside world, whether the people are alive or dead, the big leader Song Jiang didn't care. What makes him a little tricky is that his position is still a little unstable.

For more than a month, Song Heisan has successively figured out the temperament of several leaders of the cottage. The two leaders of the original Qingfeng Mountain, Jinmao Hu Yanshun, and the white-faced Langjun Zheng Tianshou respected themselves, and it was harmless to take advantage of them.

The iron-armed bear Wang Qiang is a straightforward and reckless man.

Sai Lihua Wang Yan is a strong martial artist, a spicy and assertive female general. The god general is still mighty and strong, and he is a man who doesn't talk much.

These people are not difficult to get along with. Only Baqingzhou Wang Jiang is an unwilling lord. The little god Dong He is even more scheming, which is incomprehensible. One ear Han Bolong encounters problems, the most unstable, the most prone to explosive thorns.

However, except for the iron-armed bear Wang Qiang, Song Jiang has a good relationship with him, and the others are a little bottomless. Every time I see Han Bolong, I feel a sense of crisis.

Therefore, he wants to train henchmen, and the strong Wang Qiang is one of the goals. This is not enough, the cottage also needs heroes from all walks of life to join and grow. Because only when the momentum is huge, can the siege of the city and the land be recruited.

For this reason, during this time, Song Jiang personally wrote a letter with sincere wording, in which in addition to praising words, was to explain the benefits of the Shanzhai Union. Send people to Taohua Mountain and Erlong Mountain respectively to invite the leaders to negotiate.

It's a pity that Song Heisan overestimated his reputation.

The two leaders of Peach Blossom Mountain didn't want to be the queen of the cow, so they directly refused.

Erlong Mountain, the minions were sent back without going up the mountain at all.

Copycat joint plan stillborn!

Song Jiang was not discouraged, and held a meeting to mention this matter, and the little god Ji Dong and the heroes who offered the plan would be wooed, and the trick would not be successful.

So, if one plan fails, another plan will be born.

Qingfeng Village sent a large number of minions to scatter everywhere to find out where there were heroes. Or impress with gold and silver treasures, or win over to the cottage. This trick is still quite useful, and people from the rivers and lakes have come to vote one after another.

It's just a good person, who wants to fall into the grass?

Song Jiang didn't give up, and if he couldn't win over him with good intentions, he used stratagem. The anti-intermediary scheme, the desperate plan came into being, impersonating people to kill people and set fires, or diverting the tiger from the mountain to catch the other party and threaten them, just to force the other party to Qingfeng Mountain to join the gang. Embark on the black road again as in the original trajectory.

He has not forgotten his good brother Zhu Tong, the bearded man, who is a winged tiger and thunderous. I feel that I have been with them for many years and can rely on them as confidants. But he was worried that Chao Gai, the king of Shandong who was sitting in Jeju, would be alert and exposed.

This will inevitably outweigh the losses!

Song Jiang deliberately found a reserve think tank, and the little god Ji Dong discussed the feasibility of this matter. In the end, it was decided to try, and for this, a detailed plan was made. The henchman Xiong Wangqiang, the iron-armed thug, led five hundred sons to pour into Jeju in batches. After a careful layout, it is ready to enter the city and kidnap.

You can imagine how lame this plan is!

On the day when more than 500 minions in Qingfeng Village descended the mountain, they attracted the attention of the restaurant scouts. Jeju is the base camp of the Chao family's army, with scouts and spies distributed everywhere. These people are divided into batches, how can they hide it in disguise?

I don't know what these people are going to do before they are caught? But it does not prevent the layout in advance.

As a result, it was close to December, late at night, the strongmen of Qingfeng Village gathered at the gate of Yuncheng City, and prepared to commit crimes under the leadership of Wang Qiang, the iron-armed bear. Originally, there was an inner ghost sent out in advance to take the opportunity to open the door, and the movement would not be too big.

But just as the gates creaked open and they were ready to enter the city.

Xiao Tianbao Su Ding, the sharpshooter Shi Wengong and other generals led thousands of cavalry to kill. Except for the iron-armed bear Wang Qiang, who was the leader, saw that the situation was not good, and fled frantically with people, disappeared into the mountains and forests, and most of the rest were arrested.

not only destroyed the conspiracy of Qingfeng Village, but also avoided a tragedy. It has also attracted widespread attention from the people, and there are many discussions on the streets and alleys.

After Jeju Uncle Zhang learned the news, he personally led people to Yuncheng overnight. After all, this was the first time he had been attacked by a strongman since he took office. Or a bold attack on the county seat within the territory, by having to pay attention!

The Yuncheng prison cell was filled with more than 400 minions, which surprised those petty thieves and some were dissatisfied with the crowding.

There were more than 200 officials in the three classes and six rooms in Yuncheng, and the local soldiers began to interrogate them. It's just that these strongmen are very tight-mouthed and refuse to reveal it no matter what.

This provoked the soldiers of the Chao family army and personally participated in the torture and interrogation.

"Say, where did you come from? Where to go? Do what? ”

Shouts and screams came from one interrogation room after another, which was covered with black cloths. The terrible screams, the red-hot iron, the blood-stained butcher's knife, not to mention the prisoners in the cell, the minions, the servants were all trembling.

Thinking of these ruthless people who killed twenty or thirty thousand, they all looked in awe. It also made Uncle Zhang, the old man of Zhizhou who hurried over, frown.

The use of such torture in interrogation is hurtful to heaven and earth. Just curiously looked at it, and was suddenly dumbfounded, the prisoner was unharmed, and screamed that there was someone else.

This use of psychological offensive interrogation is very effective.

When the first minion speaks, there is a second one, and the context of the matter is clear.

This group is a strong man from Qingfeng Village in Qingzhou, who wants to kidnap the beautiful bearded man Zhu Tong and the winged tiger Lei Heng, kill people and set fire to do things lacking virtue by the way, frame the two of them, and want to win them up the mountain to join the gang, Uncle Zhang's face is ugly.

Zhu Tong and Lei Heng's faces were even more ugly, and they scolded their mothers in their hearts. They recruited who to provoke well, and they were remembered by a group of strongmen because of their martial arts.

And Qingfeng Mountain in Qingzhou, when the iron-armed bear Wang Qiang returned with the remnants of the defeated army, the news of the annihilation of the whole army made Song Jiang so angry that he stomped his feet. One ear Han Bolong, Baqingzhou Wang Jiang made a moth in the cottage again.
