Mount Tai, looking at Zhou Feng.

At this time, the generals have returned to their respective stations one after another, and now there are twenty-four battalion leaders under Zhang Chong's command, so naturally they can no longer arrange all the men and horses in Wangqin Peak as in the past.

One is that it can't be put down, and the second is that there are people stationed in many places of Mount Tai, such as Wangqin Peak and Withering Mountain, all of which must be stationed at the head of the camp.

This time, Zhang Chong selected fifteen battalion leaders to follow him south to resist thieves. The generals are Yang Mao, Ding Sheng, Li Damu, Zhang Dan, Xie Bi, Heifu, Chen Huan, Wang Zhang, Li Wu, Wei Zhou, Zhang Nan, Guo Liang, Yu Ban, Chang Xian, and Zhao Jian.

This Zhao Jian was pulled into the ramming team by Zhang Chong from Lei Ze Shui Kou Zhongjian, and he was also the first batch of the ramming team, this person was tall and strong, and he learned words very quickly, and he was the leader of their batch of ramming teams, so he was made up as a tun commander when the army was expanded before.

In this big competition, his department won the fourth place, and he is Zhang Chong's most optimistic group of rising brave generals.

In addition, there are Zhang Chong's own headquarters, Tian Jun, Xi Shen, Ren Yun and other assault cavalry forty horsemen, Cai Qu, Guo Zu and other sixty people in the ramming team, and Meng Fu and other fifty flying troops carrying the flag.

The above is the compilation of Zhang Chong's entire southward journey.

After sending the generals away, he called the followers of Le'an Taiping who had returned with Cai Qu before, and after he gave this person a letter he had written, he instructed him to send this letter to Xu He.

The believer nodded heavily, hurriedly took the two regiments prepared by the baggage battalion, and hurried down the mountain and galloped towards Le'an Linji.

After that, Zhang Chong instructed Du Mantai to stay in the camp and guard the big wall. Zhang Chong has already set up camp in each mountain pass of Mount Tai, and no matter what side the enemy comes from, he will have enough time to make preparations.

In this way, Zhang Chong said goodbye to his parents and took He Kui and other staff down the mountain.

As you can imagine, a more fierce battle awaits him.

Taishan County, Fenggao.

At this time, Hu Muban was listening to Wang Kuang talk about his strategy:

"The last time I went into the mountain, I got acquainted with two heroes in the mountains, the Sun brothers, Sun Kang and Sun Guan, both of whom had the courage of the moment. Under the recommendation of these two people, I hooked up with the Langya thief Kuizang father and son. ”

Hu Muban pinched his goatee and asked:

"Is it Zang Jie and Zang Ba's father and son?"

Wang Kuang nodded:

"That's right, but now Zang Jie is not a director, and he is the presiding officer, Zang Ba, I saw this person last time I entered the mountain."

"How's this son?"

"Filial piety is unparalleled."

As soon as Hu Muban heard this, he sneered:

"Now anyone dares to call themselves filial piety, I only know that the three Lang outside the thorny gate is filial piety. What filial piety and righteousness do those thieves in the mountains have? Wang Kuang, I know that you are chivalrous, but you have to remember. He is just a knife in my hand, don't forget your identity. ”

That Wang Kuang was choked by Hu Muban's words, and reluctantly said yes.

Hu Muban looked at the person with satisfaction and let Wang Kuang continue.

Wang Kuang took a breath and continued:

"I talked to Na Zang Ba and agreed to fight the Taishan thieves together, and I had already allocated a batch of grain to him before. It is estimated that he will have already led his troops north. Brother-in-law, when will we enter the mountain. ”

It's also funny, this Hu Muban is a little older than himself, and he still calls him brother-in-law. Shameful!

The Hu Muban swam leisurely with a feather fan, and slowly returned:

"Don't worry, let's be in a hurry, let these two thieves fight for a while. Besides, you and I are newly defeated, and there are not enough troops, so we have to wait for reinforcements to come. ”

As soon as Wang Kuang heard Hu Muban's words, he was angry in his heart, how did he lose before? No, your good brother thinks the same thing. Why are the people in your Hu mother's family so smart, and they point to others to pad your knife head? Wang Kuang became more and more disdainful of Hu Muban.

And Hu Muban over there was also thinking about things, he went to Dongping Zhang Miao a few days ago and asked him to help the army.

He and Zhang Miao are eight chefs together, and he will help with this favor. Dongping Shouzhang can go straight down to Fenggao along the Wenshui, and it is estimated that this soldier is already on the way.

As for why Hu Muban didn't find Taishan Taishou to send troops, just because he was a member of the party, and this Taishan Taishou Zhang Ju was born as a border warrior and had no contact, so he wouldn't help him.

Just when Hu Muban and Wang Kuang were each pregnant with ghosts, the servants in front came in and said that Zhang Bing had arrived at the dock wall of Hu's mother's house outside the city.

Hu Muban and Wang Kuang hurriedly got up and ended the conversation.

Wang Kuang came out of Hu's mother's house, saw that Xiao Wang was still waiting outside, his heart was warm, he stepped forward to take the reins of the horse handed by Xiao Wang, and was about to take Xiao Wang to rush back, but at this time Xiao Wang had to say something:

"Lord, I just went to see Jiao Bo and his family and sent some millet."

As soon as he heard this, Wang Kuang frowned and said unhappily:

"Xiao Wang, you don't go to see those people again in the future. Do you blame me for being too ruthless? ”

When Xiao Wang heard this, he hurriedly said:

"My lord, the servant doesn't dare."

Wang Kuang glanced at Xiao Wang deeply and sighed:

"Xiao Wang, you said that the five of us died that day, and you gave me the last Su Tuan, and I still miss it. But what about those three dog slaves? Disobedience and sin, there is no loyalty. If I hadn't been shrewd that day, I would have distributed the millet to them in time. Believe it or not, just for that mouthful, the three of them will definitely backstab me. ”

Xiao Wang lowered his head and didn't dare to speak.

Wang Kuang continued:

"So, Xiao Wang, don't look at those family scrolls in Jiaoda anymore. I didn't enslave them when I came back, but I was already suffering from Jiao Da and the three of them. So, get it, Xiao Wang? ”

Xiao Wang bowed his head, indicating that he would never again.

Wang Kuang nodded with satisfaction, he still values Xiao Wang, and loyalty is the most important thing to do a trilogy.

And Xiao Wang looked at Wang Kuang's back, only in a daze, in fact, since that day Wang Kuang asked the Sun brothers to stab and kill Jiao Da and the others, he no longer believed this Wang Kuang.

Say that the good ones are blessed and shared, and the difficulties are shared? In the end, it's not just about killing and killing.

Jinan, Dongping Mausoleum, Xiang Ya.

With the assistance of the shogunate, Xun Qi finally sorted out the general affairs of Jinan. Now there is finally time to deal with the lawsuit of the local tyrant Kim.

This matter is also troublesome, that Gong Cao Gaozong and him penetrated the bottom, saying that the Jinan Treasury was empty, and the former Jinan Prime Minister was often squandered.

Xun Qi is not the first day of being an official, so he doesn't know what Gao Zong means. This treasury must have been divided by this group of Jinan governors, taking advantage of the fact that the former Jinan prime minister was sent to the capital, Jinan had no one to govern, and it happened to be up and down. These rats.

But Xun Qian knew what, it was still the same sentence, he was not the first day of being an official. The so-called iron is strong, and the flowing water is 2,000 stones. Does he still have to rely on these people to govern Jinan? Moreover, no matter how much he opposes it, he is actually a vested interest, and in the future, when he steps down as Jinan Minister, these Haoyou will also prepare a generous Cheng Yi for him.

This is officialdom, which has always fed itself and left the deficit to the successor. Although Xun Qi doesn't love money, he can only accept it helplessly.

Therefore, the township Hao Jin said that the Taishan thief went out of the mountain to occupy his dock wall and asked for the county soldiers. Xun Qi had the heart to send troops, but he really had no money, so he was helpless.

But today, the villager in front of him, who claims to be from Licheng, says that there is a way, and he wants to hear it.

At this time, Zhang Hongzheng, the third elder of Da Sangli, was standing in front of the prince of the mansion in an old manner, and he bowed down and said:

"The prince of the house, the servant heard that the thieves in Mount Tai were in turmoil, and he was willing to destroy the family and help the king of the house to suppress the thieves."

Hearing this, Xun Qi disagreed, you are a countryman who can help a lot even if you break your family, but you still praise Zhang Hong for his high demeanor and bright festival.

Zhang Hongduo is old and sophisticated, and he saw that Xun Qi was not interested in this matter, so he said again:

"The servant, the servant's self-knowledge is meager, so the servant offers advice to the king. In fact, for the pride of Jinan everywhere, all of them have more than a season of Taishan Kou's heart, and the great turmoil 20 years ago, how many clothes fell to the ground. Now seeing the resurgence of the Tarzan thieves, how can they not be afraid? So according to their original intentions, they wanted to send troops to suppress the thieves, but they lacked a master. If the prince can come forward, this matter will be done. ”

Xun Sui shook his head, it made sense, and then he didn't hide it, and asked the key directly:

"But the treasury has no money, how to use the army if there is no money."

Zhang Honggong said:

"The prince doesn't know. Only the teachers of the imperial court have to be paid, and the guests of our countrymen rely on the land. As long as someone in their family ploughs our land, they can get them to war. Therefore, as long as the prince of the palace is out of the army, there will be an endless stream of powerful soldiers. ”

Zhang Hong said it truthfully, and Xun Qi understood.

It's just that these powerful soldiers are worthless! As long as you have food, you can go to the battlefield. But to be honest, this Xun Qi doesn't know the soldiers, he doesn't want to think about why the Haoqiang tribe is so cheap, but the court has to work hard to raise the army?

The reason is that people have seven emotions and six desires, and they will be afraid when they go to the battlefield. And the battlefield is a matter of the survival of the society, if you have the courage to drive a group of soldiers who are just to have a full stomach to go to the battlefield, these people will dare to defeat you.

At the end of the day, is it a meal to work hard? What a life to play!

It's a pity that Xun Qi is a humble gentleman, who has never seen a knife soldier, so he naturally doesn't know this kind of internal affairs. On the contrary, Zhang Hong, in order to avenge his own personal vendetta, made the matter simple.

In the end, Xun Qi was still uncertain:

"Will these powerful soldiers really go out into the army?"

Zhang Hong was categorical and said:

"Definitely, because just to prevent foreign soldiers from entering Jinan, these heroes will also send troops."

This sentence is Xun Qixin, and the book also says that thieves are like combs, and soldiers are like grates. It is often these soldiers who kill themselves the hardest.

After thinking about it, there was no problem, Xun Qi sent Zhang Hong all the way out, and shouted Gong Cao Gao to ponder about it. After all, it was the first major event he had as prime minister, but he had to burn it up.

---------------------------------------

Ten days later, the Zang Ba Langya thieves were still marching in the Yilu Mountains.

Zang Ba, who was walking in the team, was tired at this time, but he was full of pride. Since he convinced Langya Qunkui ten days ago, there have been continuous Shanliao people joining the army in the past few days.

In a short time, his army swelled to six thousand. When he set out, his headquarters was 2,000, and by the time he came to the mountain to join the camp, he had already gathered 4,000 troops, and by the time he entered the mountain, he had already had 6,000 troops.

Of course, Zang Ba is still sober, knowing that it is okay for these newcomers to fight against the wind, and if they really want to fight with the Taishan thieves, it is still the two thousand people in his headquarters.

But Zang Ba was still happy, and he continued to supply the small amount of grain and straw to those new Shanliao. It's not that he is so happy, but he understands that in this mountain, if you want to become the leader of these unruly mountain liao, you don't want to get anything from them, but think about what you can give them.

When the slints of this mountain know that there will be meat to eat if they follow him Zang Ba, then he Zang Ba will become a well-deserved leader.

Just when this army of thieves was about to walk out of the Yimeng Mountains and enter the vast hilly land in central and southern Lu ahead, a report came from the front: attacked!

Zang Ba wondered: Where did the thieves dare to attack him? Could it be that you met the Tarzan thieves so soon?
