The rugged mountain road is not easy to walk, everyone rushes in a muffled voice, and the atmosphere is a little solemn.

In fact, everyone has opinions in their hearts, don't do the food that is easy to get, and go to fight the grain of the villagers.

Everyone sits leisurely in the barrier, guarded by high walls, how can we fight these servants?

And it's just how many people have to die if they are defeated.

So, why bother?

Du Man was always in the middle, and he was keenly aware of this atmosphere.

He strode to the head of the team, found Zhang Chong, and said softly:

"Shi cub, have you noticed that everyone is not in high spirits?"

"Of course, no one is happy to let him gnaw bones if he has meat and doesn't eat it."

Zhang Chong didn't care, he didn't think it was a problem.

Du Man saw that Zhang Chong was a little emotionally wrong, and clicked on Zhang Chong:

"Shi cub, our team is very mixed, and the old brothers in Da Sanli have all grown up with you.

To tell the truth, everyone is now in agreement with the law of the country, gathering righteousness, and it is not yet time to be complacent? ”

Zhang Chong saw that he had misunderstood, and he didn't dare to slack off.

He needs to be full right now.

Without him, because this Jun is the only person in this team who has received an orthodox Confucian education, and has a certain social vision and relationship.

So Zhang Chong didn't pretend to be false in front of him.

He said to Duman sincerely:

"The people did not think I was despicable, but chose me to be the leader. Naturally, I want everyone to live and live well.

But you saw that before.

Everyone is as timid as a chicken to Haoqiang, and as fierce as a tiger to the people. If left unchecked, our team will only be a group of thieves.

When the time comes, let alone return to Jinan alive, I'm afraid that a powerful tribe like the Li family can wantonly hunt and kill us.

Therefore, I want to take this little tyrant of the Xue family as a target, train everyone to train their courage, and go to the thief in their hearts.

Moreover, from those mountain sheds, there is really no food.

The little tyrant of the Xue family had just swept it before, even if some of those mountain sheds were hidden, how much could they hide.

Therefore, this grain can only be taken from this Xue family.

Finally, Daman, there is one sentence that I have never said nonsense.

That is, I want to take us poor people to live and understand.

We have escaped all the way, you must have also seen it, where is there no abandoned baby gnawed by wild beasts?

Why do we poor people have to abandon them and be eaten by wild beasts in the mountains and forests?

People don't really care about this, because they are used to it, used to how difficult it is for the small people to live in the future.

But Daman, you have read books, and you know that this is not the cruelty of your parents, but the world's compulsion.

Thousands of small people and Qiantou did their best to support his Liu family.

His clan, merits, relatives, and wealthy family, which one is self-reliant? It's not all about us.

Just take this abandoned baby, isn't it because of the Liu family's money?

We can only get as much corn as we dig in the soil, and the money of one person will offset a year's hard work.

It's good that we have the strength, but those young sons and daughters can't even dig the soil, and they have to pay for it.

Isn't this forcing fathers and mothers to abandon them?

Even more so now.

In the past, money was levied for people over the age of seven, but now it is shameless to reach the age of one.

This is what we have seen all the way, there are bereaved babies in the ditch, and there are abandoned children in the gully.

Daman, do you think this Liu family's world can continue? ”

Du Man was silent, and then said leisurely:

"Shi cub, do you want to go to Taiping Dao?"

Zhang Chong was shocked, he had never told anyone about this, and how could Du Man guess that Taiping Dao would rebel.

But Zhang Chong still chooses to be honest:

"Well, I also pondered this on the road.

You think, as long as our team has been wandering the lakes and seas, it will definitely end up being bandits.

When the time comes, let alone realize my above ideals, it will be difficult to even save my life.

Therefore, I want to rely on the bearded way and lead the team to take refuge in their Taiping Road.

I guess you can guess that with the current power of Taiping Dao, it will not be possible to rebel in the end.

When the time comes, it is still unknown to rise up with them and reproduce the situation in the last years of the new recklessness and the rise of the people. ”

Du Man hesitated, but still asked Zhang Chong:

"But from my daily actions in Taiping Dao, most of them fool the small people, can this really succeed?"

Zhang Chong smiled, because he knew that Du Man would go with him, so he was more direct with Du Man:

"Daman, how did you say that Confucius compiled the Six Classics back then? When we enter the Taiping Dao, it is not the Taiping Dao that annotates me, but I go to annotate the Taiping Dao. ”

Listening to Zhang Chong's bold words, Du Man smiled.

He didn't know where Zhang Chong got his courage, but he trusted this friend who grew up together.

Moreover, this sincere conversation also made him understand that the person in front of him, whether he succeeds or fails, will be an extraordinary person.

Du Man patted Zhang Chong and said with a smile:

"Okay, so let's go home then? also find Zhang Tiehu and settle accounts together. ”

"Haha, okay, find Old Man Zhang, and eat Old Man Zhang."

The two laughed, their hands clasped tightly together.

"Then how are you going to hit the dock wall of the Xue family? With our current equipment, it's hard to break into a dock fort head-on. ”

Du Man asked Zhang Chong a realistic question.

This question also made Zhang Chong worried, and he didn't have any good solutions.

To put it bluntly, he hadn't fought a battle, let alone captured a dock wall.

Now I can only talk about it in the place.

In the final analysis, if you don't have the strength, you still have to take risks in the end.

—————————————————————

At this time, Li Qian's department had already rushed to the water village by the Jishui River.

After counting the seizures of the six boats, even he, a big tyrant, was surprised by their abundance.

But he still said to the crowd sadly:

"What's the use of losing my heartfelt brother, even if you get these dead things?"

In a word, the Li family present burst into tears.

In this way, Li Gan led the team, transported six more carts of baggage, prepared enough corn and coarse salt for a month, and continued to the east to meet Li Dian over there.

Around the afternoon, Li Gan met Li Dian's department who was resting at the edge of the forest.

Fifty of them were drinking water in the woods.

Li Dian saw the dust in the west from a distance, and greeted him with two horses.

Li Gan was also surprised why his nephew did not move forward, and when Li Dian informed him of his discovery, he felt that this was a serious move.

Li Gan pinched his beard and followed Li Dian and asked:

"So, your judgment is that the gang is not a Bangfu at all, but a thief from the reeds, right?"

"That's what my nephew really thinks, otherwise it wouldn't make sense.

That night, the water robbed and looted, and now they ran to the reeds.

Those Qingzhou Bangfu don't know any geography, so how can there be such a coincidence. ”

"And what are you going to do?"

Li Qian wanted to take the school exam, this nephew.

Li Dian crossed his waist, pointed to the east, and said arrogantly:

"Those water cougars are usually camped in the water, and we don't have a light boat with us now, so we definitely can't beat them.

Moreover, these water cowards are already scattered, if they do not take advantage of their gathering and annihilation, it will be difficult to clean up in the future.

And now it just so happened that he was scurrying with his back to the rat, and the one who remained in the nest was about to respond.

We can be concise and brave, attack at night, go down to the water village, surprise, and kill between the waves. ”

Li Dian's suggestion is actually to fast forward and fight quickly, and kill these thieves by surprise.

But the danger is that it is too risky, after all, if you want to make a surprise attack, then you have to abandon the baggage and travel lightly.

But once it is unsuccessful, it will be dangerous to stop the army in the thief water village.

There is no food and instability, and if you want to withdraw it when the time comes, it depends on whether the other people agree or not.

Under normal circumstances, Li Gan didn't need to take risks, just because he was strong and Shui Kou was weak.

But Li Qian was thinking about another person, that is, the county Taishou Zhang Pet.

This gentleman is a native of Henan County and is quite popular.

Four years ago, as soon as he took up his post as Taishou, he gathered local Shihao to build a Diyao Monument together.

The inscription describes the local people's customs and features, and records the local moral people, which immediately won the support of the powerful families.

In addition, this pet has a teacher-student relationship with Zhang Taming, the Su Ru of Dingtao in this county.

And this tame is the same party as Cai Yong, a Hongru in the sea.

The two of them are both township party members and colleagues, and they have very close ties in the political arena.

Zhang Tao is a native of Jiyin Dingtao, and Cai Yong is a native of Chen Liuyu County, both of which belong to Yanzhou, and they are not far away, so they have contacts with each other when they are in the township.

Later, both of them were opened by the three princes, and they were both talkers, which can be described as kissing and kissing.

Therefore, four years ago, they did a big thing, and the school "Six Classics" was outside the Taixue Gate.

They thought that the Six Classics were old and had many mistakes, so they wanted to take this version as the original of the world, and even put it publicly outside the Taixue Gate, allowing everyone to copy and rub it.

This behavior greatly offended the family of scholars, and if it weren't for Cai Yong being the nephew of the Yuan family, he might have lost his official position at that time.

But two years ago, Cai Yong offended someone who shouldn't be offended. He actually sealed the country and criticized the eunuchs and ministers for many lawlessness.

But how could this kind of secret play be hidden from the eunuchs who get along with the country day and night.

After they found out, they immediately framed Cai Yong and his uncle Cai Zhen for slandering Liu He, the great Honglu at the time.

This is actually a starting point.

Because although Liu He has a grudge against Cai Yong, he has a grudge against the eunuch party.

Back then, his brother was with the general Dou Wu and the lieutenant Chen Fan who wanted to kill Cao Jie and other eunuchs, but they failed and were killed by the eunuchs.

How could Liu He, who had the revenge of killing his brother, be a knife in the hands of these eunuchs?

But it's useless, even if the government and the opposition plead, Cai Yong is also self-conscious.

In the end, he was sentenced to death and exiled to Shuo Fang with his family, and his uncle Cai Zhen was directly sentenced to death.

It's just that I'm here, but there is another thing about hiring a murderer to be a master craftsman.

At this moment, Liu Gong couldn't wash it at all.

It turns out that this Yangqiu is not only a villager of Liu Gong, but also a member of his shogunate, which can be described as an authentic person.

But Li Qian knew that this matter had nothing to do with Liu Gong at all.

This Yang Qiu himself is a cool official, and he has been convicted of torture and indiscriminate killing several times before.

If the country hadn't really seen that he was capable, he would have been pardoned several times, and he would have been punished by Ming Zheng.

But he didn't change it at all, this time because of the humiliation of the lord Liu Gong, he directly hired an assassin to assassinate Cai Yong.

If it weren't for the fact that the assassin felt that this was unreliable and took the initiative to give up, then Yang Qiu would not have escaped death.

But why is Lala thinking so much?

The reason is very simple, it turns out that Liu He, the great Honglu, was the last Taishou of Jiyin County before, and he was also Li Gan's backer.

He, Li Qian, had been actively moving closer to Liu He before. That's why there was a suggestion to get rid of the giant no sawa water coward.

But the current Jiyin Taishou is Zhang Chong, his teacher and Cai Yong are close friends, and Cai Yong and Liu He are mortal enemies.

In other words, this pet has an enmity with Liu He, and their Li family has a relationship with Liu He, so he naturally became a thorn in the eye of Taishou Zhang Pet.

Now he didn't report the county order, and Taishou dragged his troops across the county to arrest thieves, which is a big taboo.

Because Lu Weize is near Chengyang County, if you want to suppress bandits, you must cross the county.

If the crackdown on bandits is delayed for a long time, they will be punished by Zhang Favor and punished at the worst and imprisoned at the worst.

But just give up, he is unwilling, his brother can't die in vain.

If you think about it, you can only use Li Dian's risky strategy.
