Chapter 42: Coming Home

The big rout of Shan Ming's team has a credit to Xiao Dad.

It is said that when a neat line was discharged on the hillside and there was a burst of snail sounds, the idlers at the end of the single team began to stir.

They gossip, but the core meaning is only one, that is, we are here to rob, not to sell our lives.

Then, I don't know who took the lead, so I began to retreat behind. Those who retreated at the beginning probably didn't plan to run, but just wanted to go to the back and watch first.

But this withdrawal can't be stopped, everyone is smart people, who wants to block the knife.

Therefore, everyone is vying to be the first, for fear of falling behind.

Shan Ming's mistake is that he didn't put the core cultists down, otherwise he would be able to restrain him.

When the rear rout spread to Shan Ming's core army, everyone hesitated and could no longer be treated.

At this time, the little father did something that he thought was not worth mentioning, so he made the rout retreat into a big rout.

"They've been killed, run."

After speaking, regardless of the stunned eyes of the people around him, the little father ran back with Wang Zhang and Liu Bo.

The left and right looked at each other, threw the wooden spear in their hands, and spread their legs and ran back.

Poor Shan Ming, who was just like a fairy among the gods, even ran away, and snatched his beloved tail before leaving, and was captured in embarrassment.

The three of them rushed all the way, and they had to rush back to the ferry to catch the boat going home.

Liu Bo hated the local Taiping Road, and he didn't have any relatives in his hometown, so he simply followed his little father to wander the lake and sea.

In the end, he was old, and halfway through, the little dad really couldn't run, so he had to take a break halfway.

In this way, when I arrived at the ferry, it was already noon.

The little dad panted and asked a warehouse official at the ferry if he had seen a cargo ship from Jinan today, and they were going to drive the ship back.

No accident, the warehouse official didn't raise his head, so he didn't hear it, and was busy with the work in his hands.

In the end, Wang Zhang is used to doing the errands of the palace and knows how to handle these warehouse officials.

He said that he and the others are Wei Xianzuo's family, and if they want to go to Jinan on this boat, they have already communicated with your Cangcao chief.

When the warehouse official heard this, he changed his smile and told them kindly which ship was from Jinan, and he enthusiastically led them to the ground.

In this way, the warehouse official and the ship's handle exchanged heads, and the three of them got on the boat and could finally go home.

The boat back from the light was a smooth ride, and when they passed by Zhu'a, there was no trace of blood and fire in this place.

The clerk who had registered on the dock had also been replaced with a younger one, and the hay yard had been renovated, and a group of concubines were still busy there.

Everything is the same as before, except that the people have changed.

The boat leaned against the dock, and the three of them helped the boat load a batch of goods together, and the head was flattered.

Which of the official-faced people he saw in the past had done this.

That's right, in the opinion of the ship's handle, the three little fathers were brought by the warehouse officials, that is, the official faces.

When the boat arrived in Licheng, the three of them got off the boat.

It is said that the villagers are more timid, and the little father is more cowardly.

was timid to meet an acquaintance, knowing that their gang of bangfu was not dead, and then took him to the pavilion.

Facing Sun Tingchang's family timidly, he didn't know what to say.

The three of them first bought some coarse salt and coarse cloth in Licheng, pushed a wooden cart, and pretended to be traveling merchants. After that, I wrapped my scarf and went around in circles, and I came to Dasangli.

The little dad took the lead and knocked on the door of the eldest brother Zhang Gouzi's house first, but no one opened the door for a long time.

Seeing it nearby, he came up vigilantly and asked:

"What are you looking for from this family?"

The little father didn't speak, and motioned to Wang Zhang.

Wang Zhang replied with a smile:

"This family surnamed Zhang, I asked for a share of coarse salt in the year, it's not busy, it's only been delivered now. But I knocked on the door for a long time, but no one came out. What's going on? ”

"What's wrong? Woe to you. ”

When the little father heard this, he became nervous, and he didn't care about being discovered, so he pinched his throat and asked:

"What a disaster?"

The man looked at the little father, and felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember, so he only said:

"The second child of his family went to practice the watch, and met a bandit on the road. Not to mention the loss of grain, the person is still dead. That's not all, the people and officials have to use their families as official slaves. ”

The little father was startled, grabbed the man's hand, and exclaimed:

"Captured and made an official slave?"

"I remember who you are." This man recognized Daddy at this time.

The little father's eyes were horizontal, and he and Wang Zhang took the cloth together, and captured this person and went into the dense forest.

Liu Bo was frightened, seeing that the little father was a kind-faced person, but he didn't expect that this captive person cut the path, he was a big thief.

This is really just out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's den.

Little Daddy didn't have time to pay attention to Liu Bo's fragility now, and when he went to the forest, he brushed off the cloth from the man's mouth and asked:

"Where was Zhang Gouzi's family caught?"

The man looked puzzled and asked:

"Who said they were caught?"

"Isn't that what you just said?"

"Hey, I mean the People's Government Office is here to arrest them, but the dog and their family were taken into the mountains by the sunspots."

Hearing this, Daddy's heart was put down. This person is really annoying, and he speaks with a lot of gasp.

But seeing that the eldest brother's family was fine, he also relaxed, helped the villager, and apologized:

"I'm sorry, brother, I'm in a hurry."

Who knew that the man didn't care, and asked:

"Why do you sell this coarse salt?"

Yes, how can I not understand it:

"Hey, what do you say about selling it or not, this bag of salt is for my brother."

"Well, that's embarrassing. Is that coarse cloth sold? ”

Good guy, can you move.

The little father picked up a piece of cloth, and the man was so happy that he wanted to take it, but was stopped by Wang Zhang.

"Brother, I see this cloth for you, and when people ask you where you got this cloth and this salt, what can you say?"

The townsfolk were not happy:

"I bought it, how did I get it, can people take care of it?"

This man is a wonderful man.

But Wang Zhang was still not at ease, and reminded:

"Brother, you are a person who understands, these things are not so easy to hold.

We're all in the mountains, and if we come out of the mountains and hear something else, we'll have to talk to you. ”

The man hesitated when he heard this, but he picked up the salt bag in his hand, looked at the coarse cloth in Wang Zhang's hand, and gritted his teeth:

"Okay, then bring me another one."

So the villager hurried back, carrying two pieces of cloth on his back and a salt bag around his neck.

And the little father also took Wang Zhang and Liu Bo and went to Shigu Mountain fifty miles away.

There, they can find Zhang Gouzi.

Just when the three of them embarked on the road to find Zhang Gouzi again, Zhang Chong, who was far away in Jiyin County, fell into a huge crisis.

Haoqiang, who was nearby, finally decided to act impulsively against Zhang.

In fact, when Zhang Chong and others released the grain, the heroes of Chengyang County almost knew that a group of thieves had flowed in the territory.

It's just that because I haven't figured out the details of Zhang Chong and others, I can't help but move.

Zhang Chong actually miscalculated, after all, he was not from this world, and he lacked experience and understanding of Haoqiang's control in the countryside.

He thought that the Xue clan was a member of the party, hiding in the grass, and even if he broke his home, those fugitives would not report to the official.

But Zhang Chong only thought about the first layer.

In fact, the Xue family has been in exile here for nearly ten years, how could Haoqiang in Chengyang County not know?

It's just that they are unwilling to participate in the political struggle at the top, so they acquiesce to the existence of the Xue family.

Those of them who sit on the ground have seen too much of the fact that the east wind overpowers the west wind today, and the west wind overpowers the east wind tomorrow.

No one wants to take the initiative to fall into the trap against the Xue family, after all, who knows if today's party members will be in power in the future?

But now the situation is different, a group of thieves of unknown origin do not know what method was used to break through the dock wall of the Xue clan, and I heard that the core members of the Xue clan either ran away or were hanged under the big locust tree.

Now, their opportunity has come, after all, who doesn't look at the Xue family's dock wall and ripe field?

Therefore, they kept sending people out to find out the details of these people, but after asking various grass and water cobs, they all said that the bandits of "General Shi" were not their people.

At this point, they were relieved, this group of people was a gang of bandits, annihilating them, and Yi Er.

Then the next step is to send troops to destroy the thieves.

Originally, this matter was led by the Zhong family, which was a first-class power in Chengyang County.

But unfortunately, they somehow offended the Cheng clan and the Li clan. The water that the Zhong family kept outside was wiped out, and the Zhong family's own family members were buried alive.

Therefore, if the teacher did not succeed, he first folded the general.

However, the Zhong family introduced the water kou of Chengyang Xiraze to these heroes, and everyone discussed it, people don't want land, but they want all the floating wealth and 20% of the number of Dingkou.

This just happened to hit it off with the heroes.

What they want is land, and if someone has land, no matter how much floating wealth they have, they will not be able to come in the blink of an eye.

In this way, everyone decided that the heads of the Zhong family, the Sun family, the Xie family, and the Jia family in Chengyang County agreed together to give 50 out of each family, and 200 Lei Ze Shui Kou, a total of 400 soldiers, to kill General Shi.

In May, in the early hours of the morning, this group of powerful soldiers appeared near Xuejiabi.

As soon as they came, they quickly occupied the traffic artery near Xuejiabi, a ditch and a ditch.

This group of people obviously understands the art of war, and the ditch here is the main place to get water near Xue's house.

Occupying this place can not only facilitate the army's water extraction, but also cut off the water of Xuejiabi, and one move will hit the key point.

There are three small soil ridges on the north side of the ditch, which has naturally become the front position of the powerful army in Chengyang County.

Among them, Jia's soldiers and Zhong's soldiers were stationed in Toudaoling, Xie's soldiers were in Erdaoling, and Sun's soldiers were stationed in Sandaoling.

In addition, the Lei Ze Water Kou Department was stationed on a high slope 100 steps in the south of the Lingnan.

These water gangsters also set up their own camps on the high slopes, one of them erected a banner with the word "Ren" in the middle, and a battalion was set up fifty paces on the left and right.

Together with Chengyang Hao's strong soldiers, they surrounded the Xue Clan's dock wall in the middle, east and west.

However, in the end, it is a powerful guest, a thief and a thief.

Although they occupied the terrain, none of them thought of digging up fortifications and erecting antlers, but they only erected many tents.

At this time, Zhang Chong and a group of military officials stood on the dock wall, and saw clearly below.

Du Man was also brought by Zhang Chong, and he wanted to cultivate Du Man's military talent.

And just like that, the big war was about to break out.
