Volume 1 Xiao Yuanba Chapter 168 Return to Ma Zhan Longjin
In fact, Gao Cang and Tu Shan are also faint friends, and it is not certain whether they can persuade him to surrender.
But Tu Shan really wants to show something, at least you should have a good name when you first arrived, right?
Fang Cai Zhao Jingzi's words were encouragement, and they also told him this meaning. But when they really met, Tu Shan still felt a little embarrassed.
He glanced at the two "pro-soldiers" behind him, and saw that they were standing consciously a dozen paces away, so he had to roll the saddle and fall off his horse.
He had sworn to learn to ride a horse after throwing up a mess that day, but the days were still short and his movements were rather rusty.
He swallowed and foamed, put up a smile and returned the salute: "Brother Gao, when you were under the hands of the Metropolitan Governor, no, Tatehuazi, Tu Mou accepted your kindness and helped a lot, thank you here first when you see you again today!"
After saying that, stand up and sing a fat song seriously.
"Hehe, what? Brother Tu, is this going to be a salute before a soldier?" Gao Cang pouted at Nunu behind him.
"Uh, where, where." Tu Shan hurriedly waved his hand.
"Oh, that's why they sent you to recruit you?"
After Gao Cang finished speaking, he thrust the iron spear into the dirt, then jumped off the saddle bridge, took a few steps forward and nodded: "So, please speak." My spear is on the side, brother don't worry."
"Brother Gao, how could he do such a thing, it's a joke." After Tu Shan finished speaking, he glanced at the soldiers behind Gao Cang, and found that there were some familiar faces among them, so he smiled and said loudly with a horsewhip:
"Hey, Milold and Brother Feng, why are you there? Lu Dalang, aren't you Captain Tao's person? Oh, got it. Is this going to pull all the people from each team over and hand them over to you?"
"Hmm." Gao Cang nodded: "The Governor of Tatedu trusts, and there are only more than six hundred junior brothers' headquarters, so I will make up for them all under my banner."
"Trust!" Tu Shan shook his horsewhip and lowered his voice: "It's just to give you more meat shields. We can see very clearly in the city, the people have already run away, and you will be left behind, and of course it will not work if you have fewer troops."
Gao Cang's face was a little unsightly when he heard this, and he remembered that he was angry just now, and that breath hadn't yet radiated in his chest. "So what do you say? Someone has to break off." He pouted.
"So your people deserve to die?"
"Brother Tu, if you want to recruit An, make the conditions clear, don't mess with my army's heart here! Besides, you're not good at that."
As soon as Gao Cang's voice fell, he heard shouting from behind, and when he looked back, he saw a branch of people and horses turning around by the north wall, the number of people was about five or six hundred, and the person who was headed by Qinghua was dressed in a hundred household clothes and a blue iron armor, and the big flag behind him was the word "Yang".
The group turned around and began to form a formation, and then came to a stop a hundred paces away from Gao Cang's team.
Gao Cang's face changed greatly, and he said sharply with an iron spear in his hand: "It turns out that my brother is not here to recruit An, but to attract my attention, but he actually wants to eat me on both sides!"
After saying that, he jumped on the horse again and shouted loudly to Lei Jisheng, asking him to immediately command his subordinates to form a circle to protect themselves. The soldiers were panicking, and when they saw someone commanding them, they immediately moved, and quickly formed a circle.
Yang Yi saw that he got on the horse and picked up the weapon, he was in a hurry, and he was about to draw the knife, but Zhao Jingzi hurriedly held it down.
"Oh, listening to the meaning of Fang Cai Tu Shan's words, there are people from other departments here, right? It's a good idea that this Gao Cang can use such a mixed team to form a formation!" Zhao Jingzi's eyes were full of surprise and excitement.
"I said Uncle Zhaohuang, this is about to start, can you still be happy like this?" Yang Yi said angrily.
"Not busy, not busy." Zhao Jingzi shook his hand and told him, "I don't think this Gao Cang really wants to fight."
"Why do you say that?"
"If he really did it, how could he, the Lord, stay outside? It's time to get in on the big picture." Zhao Jingzi snorted and pouted:
"Don't worry, as long as Tu Shan is stable, he can't fight, the other party is just a fierce inward, putting on a show to scare people! He's telling us that we're not to be messed with, and that it's okay to fight if we can't agree on terms."
After speaking, he sneered and shook his head: "I don't believe that he can make a strong team after two days of hasty practice, a little wise, comparable."
He's still far from being inspected by the end of the day!"
Sure enough, he guessed Gao Cang's idea, and Tu Shan, who had seen more battles, also guessed it. He laughed bitterly and said, "Why do you want to put on such a face? Since the east gate can send troops, the north gate can naturally send troops.
Isn't it the right thing to be two ways to attack you, a lonely army after being broken? Look at that, it is Yang Baihu of the official army, and I was captured by his Pegasus that day.
If I hadn't tried to pull you to talk properly, the two sides would have rushed over and broken up the team, where would I give you a chance to calmly set up the formation?"
Gao Cang looked at both sides and snorted in his nose. Tu Shan beckoned to him and asked him to dismount, Gao Cang stopped and swayed, then jumped down again, held the iron spear in his arms and said reservedly:
"It's not that my little brother doesn't believe you, the two armies are fighting, but you and I are grinding our teeth here, it looks really weird. If it weren't for looking at your brother's face, I wouldn't believe they were going to recruit Anli."
"Zhao'an? Which one wants to recruit An?"
"Huh?" Gao Cang immediately raised his eyebrows: "Could it be that my brother came to be a lobbyist in front of the two armies, not to recruit peace?"
"Zhao'an is something that only the government does, and it is the green shirt team that surrenders for my brother, and it has nothing to do with the government!"
Gao Cang was puzzled: "Is there any difference here?"
"If you are recruited by the government, it is probably for you to be an official, and then the brothers are disrupted and incorporated into the official army; Or if you don't disturb it, you will still be carrying it, and you will be born and die for the government.
If people tell you to kill that, you will go, and you will take as much food and salary as you are given, just like that Song Jiang. In the future, he may be mixed with an official and a half-job, and he will survive and return to his hometown to guard a few acres of land.
As for the brethren, it is a matter of life and death. Do you think I'm right?"
"Almost, Zhao'an, isn't it all like this?" Gao Cang nodded.
"Li Saburo didn't want to do this, he wanted not only the chief, but all the brothers to be properly arranged. Of course, except for those who have murders and have abused people, there will be a repression to screen them out.
The rest of the brothers who are willing to work in agriculture can be assigned to the fields to cultivate, those who are willing to work can go to factories and mines, those who are willing to learn to buy and sell can be assigned to shops in various places, and those who are really unskilled can also go to the convoy of transport and the fleet of ships.
The rules of the Tsing Shirt team are to concentrate when they go out on tasks and usually serve the people. If there are casualties, there will be a pension, if you are sick, the district captain will send a doctor to see a doctor, and those who have won a battle and participated in the war will have a dividend, and bonuses will be paid according to merit and rank......."
He gave a general introduction to the rules of the Tsing Shirt team that he knew.
Gao Cang touched his short stubble chin and listened quietly, and then *** came to ask, "What about the lead officer, what will you do with us people?"
"You will not be given an official position, but you will be paid a monthly salary according to the assessed rank, and if you are assigned an actual position, an additional allowance will be added. As for dividends and rewards, they all follow the rules, and the higher the rank, the more you get!"
Tu Shan said, "Like the brothers, whether you want to lead a soldier or work or do business is up to you, and you will be assigned according to your merits. For example, they now have horses breeding, brewing wine, buying and transporting, bookkeeping and restaurants."
"What if I want to open an ironsmith and specialize in crafting weapons?"
Tu Shan smiled: "I see it's okay. Do you know? Li Sanlang wants to open an iron smelting yard and is looking for a place. You think he can't just hit a shovel when he starts this game, right?"
Suddenly, someone shouted, and everyone looked and saw flags waving in the north, and cars and horses were rattling.
Then the green shirts on both sides cheered, and a small group of riders quickly left the queue and galloped this way, led by a green flag behind the red horse, with the word "Li" embroidered in black in the white moonlight.
"It's the inspector who has arrived." Tu Shan told him softly.
Li Dan was in good spirits, although he only slept for a quarter of an hour (half an hour), he did not feel sleepy, but was in a very excited state, and his joy and self-confidence made him look radiant.
You must know that this is different from the victory of your own regiment on the exercise ground in the previous life, this is a victory at your own doorstep, a great victory of destroying more than 2,400 enemies and capturing 1,600 prisoners!
Last night, he took Song Xiaoniu to chase westward, and successively won three battles and three victories in Woniu Mountain, Longjiazhou, and Chengjiazhou, and the wine trough that retreated had to be lost
The team at the back was in disarray.
It turned out that Cao Manjiu (wine trough) had asked Tao Shou to leave more than a dozen small boats in the bay near Qingxidu, nominally in case of emergency, but in fact he was preparing to escape.
The southern front operation went deep into the rear of Yugan, where there was a lack of intelligence, and Cao Manjiu didn't know what the bad luck was, so it was an instinctive action to release a dozen boats.
Who knew there was a trap here! Cao Manjiu is a veteran, and when he saw the appearance of Tatehuazi, he was worried that Yu Gan's strategy might be empty, so he was ready to flee to Huxi.
Why Kosai? One he didn't want to go back to face Tatehanako, and the other he didn't doubt the loyalty of the Kosai tribes at the time.
Who knew that he finally found these boats in a large bay, and when he was desperately rowing to the opposite shore with a hundred henchmen, a whistle and ambush came.
In shock, he saw that it was the banner of the Song family, and hurriedly called someone to say hello, saying that it was his own. Unexpectedly, the other party's arrows rained down, and Cao Manjiu scolded, and only then did he begin to suspect that the Huxi gang had actually defected to the official army.
It was difficult for a dozen boats to compete with each other, and seeing the small white eel part of the rocket, the wine trough was another big defeat on the water. Finally two or three boats docked, and everyone stumbled and fled.
Wei Xiaohe judged the direction of their escape, and immediately sent people to send a fireworks signal to the fleet cruising on the Santang River, and the fleet let Zhang Guisheng's villager in Sanjiaxiang land in Shuangtang and open his net to search for them eastward.
On the other side, a boat came over to pick up Li Dan, who was chased to Qingxidu. Hearing that twenty or thirty of the enemy had fled to the other side, and that there was likely to be an enemy general among them, Li Dan immediately took three Shidu rivers.
Song Xiaoqiao handed over the fleet to Ren Er to take charge of, and he brought hundreds of brothers to land, and followed Li Dan all the way to the west.
In the middle, some stragglers were captured and killed one after another, and listening to what the prisoners pointed out, Li Dan thought that the gang was going to Longjin Village.
"He's going to find a boat, and he's still thinking of wandering the rivers and lakes." Li Dan said to Song Xiaoqiao.
This was the first time he had fought side by side with a young master, and the two were a little unaccustomed at first, but now they could already be called brothers.
"Brother Song, if you have a lot of people, you will go to the front and back of the village to search, and I will take the brothers to the direction of Guanzhoudu, how about it?" Li Dan asked.
"Okay, if you find out, let's set off fireworks!"
The two agreed, and Li Dan took his three Shi to the north ferry. Halfway through, there was a sudden "creaking" sound and fireworks rose from the other side of the village.
One of them laughed and said, "Found out so soon? Looks like they're in luck!" Before the words fell, another rocket flew up.
Li Dan knew that something was wrong, so he hurriedly ordered the two of them to continue searching for the ferry, turned the horse's head by himself, and followed by Mao Zai and the other person to Longjin Village. The two of them were fast, and they quickly distanced themselves from Nash.
When we arrived at the entrance of the village, we were already in a battle. It turned out that this gang of people who had slipped through the net really came to look for boats, and after they tortured them, they found two boats, and they were about to carry them out of the reeds, when Song Xiaoqiao's people arrived.
Cao Manjiu gritted his teeth with hatred when he saw it, and scolded Song Xiaoqiao for eating inside and out, and both sides started to move.
Cao Manjiu felt that it was easy to deal with because he bullied them that they were not the official army and the green shirt team. His people are all sworn friends and old bandits, although they are inferior in numbers, they can withstand their opponents and not fall behind.
But Cao Manjiu also understood that he couldn't delay for too long, watching the fireworks fly, he panicked in his heart, thinking of the idea of capturing the thief and capturing the king, and went straight to Song Xiaoqiao, slashed the two attendants and pressed Song Xiaoqiao under him, and then he was about to insert the short knife down.
Song Xiaoqiao desperately wanted to push his hand away, but he was young and weak, and when he couldn't see it, the sound of horses' hooves sounded in the distance.
Cao Manjiu turned his head and saw that Li Dan's jujube horse had rushed straight in, Song Xiaoqiao took the opportunity to push him away and roll over and dodge two rolls, and Cao Manjiu, who was about to get up, was knocked away by the jujube horse.
Fortunately, the ground of the river beach was full of mud and sand, so it didn't cause much damage to him. Cao Manjiu got up and stumbled into the boat, and was about to turn back to look for the oars, when Song Xiaoqiao flew up and threw him into the river.
It's not the same after falling overboard. Cao Manjiu was wearing cloth armor and half-body iron armor, and after falling into the water, he was not as flexible as Song Xiaoqiao, and he was quickly killed
Filled with water.
By the time Song Xiaoqiao dragged Cao Manjiu, a dead pig, ashore, the resisting lake bandits had been cleared out with the help of the one who arrived.
Mao Tsai turned over and dismounted, went over to help him drag him, and joked, "Now the wine trough has been changed to a water jar!"
A few brothers came up and stripped off the bandit leader's clothes and tied them up like a dumpling, Li Dan smiled and gave a thumbs up, and said, "Brother, I didn't say anything about this nomination, even the foolish brother admires it tightly!"
Song Xiaoqiao waved his hand, hugged his fists and said, "Shicai was almost taken advantage of by the enemy, thank you for the grace of patrolling and saving your life!"
At this point, the Longjin chase was over, and Li Dan returned to the south of the city to eat something to rest his horsepower and take a nap.
Then he ordered Song Xiaoniu to lead his troops back to Baima to rest, ordered the two hundred Xiangyong brought by Gu Da, Liu Hongsheng and Liu En, and took the carriage transferred from the city and began to pursue Tatehuazi.
Passing by the northeast wall, I saw that there was still a confrontation here, so I came up and asked.
"Well, my subordinates are clumsy, and there are probably some things that are not clear." Tu Shan scratched his scalp embarrassedly.
"It's not that complicated." After Li Dan finished speaking, he turned to Gao Cang:
"Recruited by the imperial court, given the monarch an official position, and the soldiers obeyed the dispatch.
Descend to me, although there is no *** Houlu, the king and the soldiers can live and work in peace and contentment, I should try my best to use it, and the kings are rich and noble, mutual assistance and mutual benefit. Where to go, you can choose by yourself, there is no reluctance.
If you don't surrender, please go for a long time and I will pursue again. Anyway, we'll see you again in two days, it's just that your soldiers have more casualties."
Gao Cang glanced at Tu Shan when he heard this, stuck the iron spear on the ground, and said with his hands crossed: "Brother Tu has already said in detail, in fact, Gao Mou is already moved. It's just that there is one thing to ask for, and I wonder if the adults can agree?"
"Tell me about it."
"Gao has loved weapons since he was a child and wants to do business in this area. I also have a lot of savings at home to be capital, but because of my background, it has been difficult to do so. Can you help me?"
Li Dan laughed when he heard this, and said, "What's so difficult about this? Not only will I help you, but you will be in charge of the Weapons Division of the Tsing Shirt Team in the future. But it's a pity that you're a general who doesn't fight, and occasionally I have to ask you to go out of the mountains to lead the troops, how about it?"
Gao Cang grinned and said, "Just according to what the adults say!" Seeing that the fight was stopped, the senior soldiers immediately cheered.
Li Dan invited Yang Dayi, Yang Yi, and Zhao Jingzi to meet Gao Cang, because the original camp outside the south gate was being changed into a prisoner camp, so he instructed to build another small village for the high department under the platoon post, and Zhong Siqi took the townspeople to settle in and start education and screening.
instructed Yang Dayi to carefully guard the city. At this time, Tan Zhongxuan came out of the city with a large group of mules and carriages, he handed over the carriage to Yang Yibu for use, and he took his subordinates to start searching for remnants around the city.
Li Dan saw that his eyes were bloodshot because he had stayed up all night guarding the city for several days, and asked him to go back and find some tofu to slice and stick to the outside of his eyelids.
"Let's go!" Li Dan got on the horse, and Yang Yibu also got into the carriage: "The celebration banquet will be held tomorrow night, and it is estimated that we should come back at that time." Tell Liu Er to take out the rest of the phoenix milk, and don't forget to send some to Brother Niu!"
After speaking, Li Dan gently pinched the horse's belly and went to Yutang Town with Yang Yi and others. Two cavalrymen with spears followed, and the red tassels at the head of the spears were drawn in a straight line by the wind, pointing in the direction of the tail of the pursuing brigade.
