Chapter 299: Meritorious Service
The Tiger Battalion suffered a crushing defeat in the first battle, but miraculously did not suffer much casualties.
In fact, there were still losses, more than a dozen carts were lost, a lot of livestock, weapons and armor, and even the most deadly flags were lost...... Fortunately, it is not the most important battalion flag, otherwise Cheng Zhijie, as a general, would have to commit suicide and apologize.
The point is, how many enemies there are, and there are more than 500 people in the whole army, and no one can say clearly.
Let's talk about Li Kui.
After the sky cleared, his men and horses also set off from Sucheng and arrived at Shilipo in Yuncheng a little later than Cheng Zhijie.
Mu Hong and the others didn't wait for anyone to come, and their hearts were also up and down, and they thought that the transaction of Huitong Money Bank was going to be yellow.
Finally, Bai Sheng, who was acting as an errand runner, rushed down from the top of the slope and climbed all the way, shouting to everyone: "Brothers, the fat sheep is here!" ”
Mu Hong grabbed Bai Sheng and pulled Bai Sheng down in front of him as if he was screwing the placket of a bear child on the street, with a fierce glint in his eyes: "Don't say it quickly!" ”
"Brother Mu Hong, you are ......"
Bai Sheng is not happy, everyone is an accomplice, how can you ask questions like this as if you are an enemy, Mu Hong also felt that something was wrong, loosened Bai Sheng's clothes, and said with a slight apology: "Brother Bai Sheng, don't blame, since our brother defected to Brother Chao Gai, he has not made an inch of merit, and he can't help but be a little meritorious, and he is too much Meng Lang, and I ask Brother Bai Sheng not to be angry." ”
Bai Sheng is not unrelenting, smoothed his clothes, and then said: "There are hundreds of big cars, not counting those who are driving, there are more than 100 guards." ”
Coachman?
In the eyes of Mu Hong and others, there is no difference from livestock.
Even if Bai Sheng's kung fu is not very good, but an ordinary coachman, he can handle it easily.
As for the guards?
Combined, these people must have more people than Huitong Bank. Moreover, Mu Hong, Zhang Heng, Li Jun, and more than a dozen Jianghu experts were present, and the silver of Qian Zhuang was already surnamed Chao.
As for why they went to Chaogai, they didn't think about standing on their own?
The strongman of Jiangzhou, although Mu Qing is dead, Mu Hong is the family; Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun brothers; There are also Li Jun and Li Li brothers, these people have their own forces and territories, and if they really want to set up a mountain together, they have a bad reputation, and they don't have much fame in the rivers and lakes. Second, none of them obeyed anyone.
It is not appropriate for anyone to take the lead.
can be separated from the mountain, and the strength in their hands is also insufficient, and it is easy to be broken by the government.
This is also the reason why they were exiled from Gangju to Jeju.
As for Chao Gai, they were not convinced at first, but after making friends, they suddenly felt that Chao Gai was a good person. A real person has a better reputation than a reputation outside, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a righteous cloud.
In addition, Chao Gai's martial arts are also higher than everyone else, his reputation is good, and his martial arts are high, so there is no reason not to let him be a big brother.
Liu Tang has no opinion on discussing the details of the robbery, he is a simple-minded and impulsive person. Robbery, he pondered how to pull the wind and how to come. But the problem is that the methods he can think of, others may be able to think of them, and the methods that others can think of, he may be blind.
Therefore, Liu Tang showed an unusually good speech, nodding vigorously on the side, and Wu Yong was secretly anxious on the side. Xin said: "You represent Brother Chao, you nod vigorously, which one is it?" ”
As for Bai Sheng, he was naturally filtered by Wu Yong, this guy only had a reputation as a scoundrel in Yuncheng, do you still expect someone to listen to him?
Inadvertently, Wu Yong found that an inexplicable sense of responsibility rose in his heart, he needed to give advice to Brother Chao Gai, at least this credit could not let these bandits from Jiangzhou take the lead.
Wu coughed and said softly, "Everyone, can you listen to a certain sentence?" ”
Mu Hong turned his head to look at Wu Yong, people are acquaintances, the teacher of Dongxi Village, and the relationship with Chao Gai is irreversible. It's just that the martial arts are average, and the reading ...... He won't do it, and he won't judge it favorably. But seeing that Wu Yong is a trusted manpower of Chao Gai, he can't be easily offended. Thinking of this, Mu Hong smiled at Wu Yong's chin and said: "Brother Wu Yong, everyone will be a brother of life and death who eats in a pot in the future, why be polite, don't scruple if you have something to say." Even if it is said that Mu Hong is not, there is no need to worry about Mu someone's face. ”
Clear!
Although Wu Yong didn't open his mouth to praise, he felt that Mu Hong still had some eyesight, and bowed slightly, thanking Mu Hong for his open-mindedness. Only then did he begin to speak: "Everyone, everyone knows the topography of Shilipo, I don't know how you are going to start?" ”
"Rush up and surround the people."
Liu Tang came to his senses at this time, he was also a person on Chao Gai's side, and he wanted to stand in line for his eldest brother.
Mu Hong and others also think so, robbery is no stranger to them, although Mu Hong does not do it often, but the Li Jun brothers, as well as the Zhang Heng brothers, all rely on boatmen to make a living, and then make a fortune by robbery.
"There are many of us, but there are few of them, so there is no need to worry about ways at this time, just surround them." Li Jun said very experiencedly.
"That's what I mean, too." Zhang Heng nodded in agreement.
Wu Yong smiled, his hand was empty, it would be good to have a fan at this time. He was a scholar, and although he didn't have much hope on the road of the imperial examination, some of the habits of the scholar were still retained. Vassals are elegant, even if they are buying and selling people and goods, they can't let their demeanor be damaged. It's a pity that I came out in a hurry and lacked equipment.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Shilipo is a unique landform in Yuncheng, this place was originally a mound, because the river overflowed, Liangshan became a flood place for the river. Yuncheng lost the official road to communicate with Sucheng and Dingtao, so he launched a conscription to bulldoze the mound and leave a slope. This place is seven miles uphill and three miles downhill. ”
When Wu Yong said this, he stepped on the ground hard and said, "The position where we are standing is downhill. Have you ever thought about it, since it is easy to go uphill and fast to go downhill, why don't we wait for leisure? ”
"This ......"
Mu Hong took a closer look at the little white face in front of him, it didn't seem to be very simple. Since meeting Li Kui, Mu Hong's senses for scholars have changed greatly, with disgust and resentment, but it is also strange to say that his affection for the white and pure readers has increased greatly. If it had been before, a scholar like Wu Yong had made noise in front of him, he would have been impatient, and he would have been insulted at least and done at worst.
Mu Hong could listen to some reasoning at this time, and said to others: "What do you brothers think? I think what Mr. Wu said is very reasonable. ”
These words are tantamount to a firm stance in support of Wu Yong.
This made Wu have a good impression of Mu Hong in his heart, and when these people came to Dongxi Village before, Wu Yong didn't like to see these gangsters. Unexpectedly, Mu Hong and others were also people who knew the severity, which surprised Wu Yong.
Others have no opinion.
Since the opinion is agreed, it is waiting for Mu Hong, the person in charge, to decide.
However, Bai Sheng's family was suddenly stunned, and said, "Everyone, look, isn't that Brother Chao Gai?" "Bai Sheng's guy is also sharp-eyed.
Chao Gai is back?
Everyone looked at it, and it was really Chao Gai, and there was still a person on his back.
immediately greeted him, and when he saw Gongsun Sheng's face like gold paper, everyone couldn't help but worry: "What's wrong with Mr. Gongsun?" ”
"Where is the wound, why is there no wound?"
"Internal injuries?"
Gongsun Sheng lay on Chao Gai's shoulder, gently patted Chao Gai's shoulder and said, "Brother Chao Gai, let the little brother down, don't get in the way." ”
Can he say that he was just a stumbling foot before?
jumped too high, pretended to be too engrossed, and when he landed, he didn't even notice a stone on the ground, so he didn't notice it and fell to the ground. Fortunately, the officers and soldiers fled in all directions, and no one kept an eye on him. When Chao Gai arrived, he found a car to lie on the car, so that he could not only maintain his prestige, but also not need to be independent and waste his spirit in vain.
As for Chao Gai running away on his back for so long, he was really grateful.
Chao Gai also knew that Gongsun Sheng was not too serious, and after putting down Gongsun Sheng, he waved his big hand to everyone and said: "We have won a complete victory, the officers and soldiers have been defeated by Mr. Gongsun, and countless materials and weapons have been seized. ”
Mu Hong and the others suddenly became solemn towards Gongsun Sheng, this kind of credit, compared to them, is simply an ant-like existence in the sky and on the ground.
"Sir is really a man of God!"
"It is a blessing for us to have a husband to help, which is really a blessing for three lives."
"Congratulations to Mr. Gongsun!"
Gongsun Sheng waved his hand, helped Bai Sheng, who wanted to move forward, and said to everyone: "Brothers, can the fat sheep come?" ”
"On the other side of the slope." Bai Shengyao pointed to the other end of Shilipo, but they were at this end, and the convoy was at that end, and they couldn't see it yet.
The fat sheep that was waiting for finally came, which made Chao Gai's heart suddenly breathe a sigh of relief.
The officers and soldiers were defeated by Gongsun Sheng alone, but if the government really investigates strictly, it may be difficult for them to escape. After all, Gongsun Sheng frequently went in and out of Dongxi Village before, as long as he explored carefully, it was indispensable for the government to find clues.
This transaction is the last big deal before going to the cottage, if it is done, to build a cottage, there will be no shortage of money and food in a short period of time.
Now that Gongsun Sheng is here, Mu Hong and the others only need to ask him.
Gongsun Sheng came with great merit, and his prestige was naturally not the existence of Wu Yong's ability to speak in the same day.
He muttered: "The ten-mile slope poor road has also been explored, so you don't have to bother too much, just wait for it to enter the urn!" ”
"What the gentleman said is very true, I will wait for the salty service."
Wu Yong couldn't say it directly, he also planned it this way, and this gang of bandits even had to vote just now to agree. Why did Gongsun Sheng come and say a word, and these people almost knelt on the ground and sang praises to this demon, why is the gap between people and people so big?
He was not convinced!
It's useless to be unconvinced.
The problem is that Chao Gai is also looking forward to Gongsun Sheng, and when he comes up with ideas, they are not very good, and it is much better to believe in smart people than to believe in their own results.
Only they inadvertently hurt the heart of a companion.
Besides, Li Kui, the convoy was already slow, and it took two days to walk from Xucheng to Yuncheng. Fortunately, the left shopkeeper who was frightened along the way could finally breathe a sigh of relief, and before evening, they could arrive in Yuncheng County.
Once in the city, at least you don't have to worry about safety.
It's just that the ten-mile slope in front of him made him frown slightly, and it seemed that a bad feeling had come.
Li Kui called the guide, and after asking, decided to send a spy out.
"Young Master, let me go!"
As soon as Li Kui had the idea of sending someone to investigate, Ruan Xiaoer jumped out and patted his chest and said that he wanted to make meritorious contributions.
