Chapter Twenty-Eight: No One Is Idle

The hereditary gate valve was the most prosperous in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and then began to gradually decline, and began to self-recommend the system and the imperial examination system and the purge movement during the Wu Zetian period, and after the Huangchao Uprising at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the family completely withdrew from the stage of history.

But as long as there are people and the dynasty is established, the family will never disappear. For example, the Northern Song Dynasty Zhe family, Fan Zhongyan family, Wang Anshi family, Sanhuai Wang family and Zhending Han family, etc., belong to the big family.

It interprets the truth that one person attains the Tao and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven.

There are ground snakes in every place, with different names and different sizes.

The Liu family in Huazhou City is more powerful than the Qian family who took root in Shuanghengling. The two are very different in terms of financial resources and influence.

The family pays attention to etiquette and pays the most attention to face.

Although the eldest son of the Liu family was killed by the brothers and sisters of Shangranwei, a heroic spear in northern Shaanxi. Shaohuashan came out to save people, not to mention, but also dared to take them in and harbor. This has already offended the Liu family, how to make the family with real power stop?

In addition, the strongman of Shaohua Mountain dared to kill the official of the state government, which is a heinous crime. The government was already furious, not to mention that the local squires privately added fuel to the fire.

The three leaders of Shaohua Mountain, the bounty soared from three to five thousand. The spear is still mighty, and the bounty of the Jade Guanyin and Osmanthus official mansions has exceeded 10,000.

It can be seen how valuable a few bandit leaders are!

But you can also see how slow the transmission of news was in ancient times, and Wang Jin was as uncared for as a cabbage.

In addition to drawing pictures and raising the reward for capture, the Huazhou government decided to raise troops to encircle and suppress. Under the banner of suppressing bandits, the forbidden army of two battalions of the garrison of the state was mobilized to eliminate the strongmen, and the local army was armed, totaling 1,500 people.

Although the season is delayed, it is to prepare grain and grass and reorganize training. Since the end of the New Year, the training has been carried out in a fake manner, and the non-commissioned officers of the forbidden army have complained.

The Liu family is worthy of being a powerful and influential Huazhou tyrant, and since the second day of harboring criminals in Shaohua Mountain, they have organized large and small families to donate grain and grass and contribute their strength. In the first month of the new year, tens of thousands of stones of grain and grass were handed over to the government.

also relied on his family connections to invite a battlefield general and hundreds of elites from the northern Shaanxi border army to help in the battle, vowing to uproot Shaohua Mountain.

Maybe it's to build momentum, maybe it's to win a good reputation, or maybe it's to make political capital. Whether it is the Huazhou government or the Liu family and other squires, they raise money and grain and send troops and horses with great fanfare and boasting.

These news can't be concealed from those who have a heart.

After the New Year, the holiday is over, and the minions of Shaohua Mountain gather and resume training as usual. Wang Jin received the information collected and passed back from the village store outside the cottage, and learned about the Qian family's remnants and Huazhou's actions, with a mocking look on his face.

"Phew, I'm waiting for you!"

The generals invited from the border army in northern Shaanxi do not know who they are for the time being.

But Huayin County and Huazhou don't know the details and changes of Shaohua Mountain. For example, everyone in Shaohua Mountain is well fed and warmly clothed, which has nothing to do with poverty.

Anyone who looks at today's cottage with the eyes of the past is purely looking for death. Wang Jin is also a dignified person, he is worthless on the wanted warrant, and there is no news about his wanted, which makes him a little unhappy.

Make up your mind to make a name for yourself in this battle.

The name of Shura instructor Wang Jin can quickly spread in the green forests of the rivers and lakes!

In the fourth year of Zhenghe, the first half of the first month.

It has already entered the beginning of spring, and it is not far from the time when the weather will warm up and the officers and men will encircle and suppress. The minions were high-spirited and devoted themselves to training.

Take turns on duty, resting sturdy minions digging stones and preparing mountain guarding equipment. The military workshop is full of forging arrows and making bundles of arrows......

In addition to these soft and hard powers, after the New Year, the snow is clear and the sun is shining. And the number of people who defected increased every day. Most of them are poor people who can't survive, with yellow faces and thin muscles, and they drag their families to eat.

For these people, the cottage adheres to the consistent tradition, how much they come to collect, how much they eat, how they live, and how they settle properly. It's just that the intelligence officers who are operating outside will spread the news everywhere and promote the name of benevolence and righteousness of Shaohua Mountain.

In addition, just in case, these young and old settled on a nearby hill. No one can guarantee that there will be no government in it. Besides, we must also let this group of people take care of their bodies and then carefully organize them.

Shaohuashan is also implemented in accordance with the formulated strategy.

In view of the fact that several wealthy households in Shuanghengling showed no signs of backwater, the cottage sent minions to bring sugar to contact and formally negotiate future trade.

Under the offensive of real money, the nearby people privately got rid of their horses. Through more than a dozen teams to purchase sugarcane, the books were constantly sent back to the cottage......

As the arrow wound on his body gradually improved, the spear was still unable to sit still. Take the initiative to contribute to the cottage, superb riding skills, and marksmanship. The cottage has successively acquired a lot of good horses, and the second cavalry battalion is preparing to be formed.

Wang Jin would take hundreds of cavalry down the mountain every day to practice, focusing on charging formations and field battles. By the way, the steep terrain around Shaohua Mountain was detected.

In fact, he also has a secret mission, which is to train those clever minions. Teach them how to reconnoiter behind enemy lines, how to gather intelligence, camouflage, and much more. Except for Ma Ling, who was trained, few people knew.

The days were spent in Shaohua Mountain's active preparations.

In the past, the Lantern Festival saved energy and ate a good meal, and even slipped to the market town to enjoy the lanterns. This year, the cottage did not have to worry about food and clothing, ate and drank well, and the joyful atmosphere was filled with the atmosphere of war. The cottage has a good life, and there is hope for the future.

There is no need to preach how to boost morale, the minions know that the government does not let them live a good life, so they take up arms to defend and train extremely hard work.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, more than ten days have passed.

Winter goes to spring, and the coldest time in the north is spent. The weather is slowly warming up, and the snow is still unmelted in most places, but it is not as cold as it used to be.

The imperial court came earlier than expected.

The main reason is that the second master of the Qian family was eager for revenge, and he was ecstatic to learn the news of the death of the son of the Liu family, so he took the initiative to send someone to contact him, and the two sides hit it off.

After the Shangyuan Festival (Lantern Festival), Qian Erye of Huayin County couldn't hold back. first applied to Huazhou, to put it bluntly, ventilated in advance and made an appointment to send troops. On the one hand, he prepared grain and grass materials, and on the other hand, trained more than 300 native soldiers in the county.

Throwing a lot of money, those outlaws who robbed the tombs. After this period of continuous calling, the rivers and lakes have exceeded three hundred.

It's just that Second Master Qian feels that it is not enough, and is still buying Yongfu with a lot of money.

The Liu family in Huazhou City was also not to be outdone, and the generals and elites of the northern Shaanxi border army invited arrived, and they met with the army of bandits in Benzhou for run-in training.

One west and one east, planning to attack from both sides, trying to completely exterminate Shaohua Mountain.

The government is preparing, and Shaohuashan is more fully prepared.

The Chinese New Year is just a month into spring, and Ma Ling, the god horse, has led the team to build four village stores around Shaohua Mountain as strongholds in various parts of the wilderness. It has also stationed several shrewd and capable workers in the five counties of Huazhou.

Detectives from all walks of life gather intelligence openly and secretly.

When the two cities made a big move, the news had already been transmitted back to the cottage. Huazhou City, Huayin County agreed to send troops to Huashan, how can they hide it?

The minions on the mountain have been training for so long, and they have long expected the imperial court to encircle and suppress them.
