The reception banquet on Erlong Mountain lasted from morning to dusk. Those who drank a lot were drunk like mud, and those who drank a lot also went back to their rooms to rest. Only those who don't drink much and those who don't drink touch their bellies and stroll through the cottages.

Wang Jin and Chao Gai faced the sunset with their backs and sat on a lying cow stone on the top of the mountain. Looking at the ladies under the protection of a group of female soldiers, his tone was extremely calm: "Big brother, the situation in the north is clear, and the Song Dynasty is not many years old. ”

"Brother Xian, are the Jurchens really that terrible? I've heard that there are very few of them. At the previous banquet, Chao Gai asked a lot about the north. I know a little about the situation over there, and I don't believe it in my heart.

"Big brother, do you know Zengtou City?"

"I know this, Lingzhou is a tyrant, very arrogant, but he was destroyed."

"Then you must not know that Zengtou City was destroyed by me personally." Wang Jin looked at the north, his face expressionless, but the words he uttered were appalling.

"What?" Chao Gai's voice raised an octave, and when he saw that the woman nearby turned his head to watch, he asked in a low voice: "Is it really the destruction of the virtuous brothers, and the killing of the old and the young?" ”

"It's not that exaggerated, if you dare to resist, you will be killed!" Wang Jin grabbed a dog's tail grass: "Big brother, do you know the strength and casualties of both sides at that time?" ”

"I don't know!" Chao Gai smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying in his heart I didn't even know that you did it.

Wang Jin's eyes flashed reminiscing, as if he remembered the battle that night. After a battle, thousands of dead and eighteen hundred wounded, and the voice was low.

"Zengtou City 9,000, Liangshan 13,000 cavalry, and another ambush, and finally destroyed Zengtou City, Liangshan's elite lost 3,000. This is still a Jurchen herdsman, if it is a real warrior

It's hard to win. Moreover, the Jurchens were unruly, women and children attacked and killed many people. ”

"It's so fierce!" Chao Gai gasped.

Wang Jin threw out an even more exciting news: "At the beginning of spring this year, the Liao State was defeated by 20,000 Jurchen cavalry with the strength of the whole country, 700,000 troops, and was defeated and retreated. The Jurchen Jianguo Dajin began to recruit captives to serve as cannon fodder, and there are many of them, and they will become stronger and stronger. ”

"Oh, I now understand what Brother Xian is worried about?"

It took a long time for Chao Gai to recover from his shock and let out a long sigh.

"Don't talk about that!" Wang Jin pinched off the dog's tail and put it in his mouth: "Big brother, Hedong Tianhu, Jiangnan La, Huaixi Wang Qing successively called the king and hegemon." Strongmen everywhere are ready to move, and you don't have any ideas? ”

"Thoughts?" Chao Gai savored it, and then laughed: "Hahaha...... my brother is more than forty years old, he is already old, and he has no ambitions. ”

"No, Big Brother is not old, he still has ideas." Wang Jin smiled meaningfully, and reminded vaguely: "Some people come to help you just for interests." You return the favor after you help once, don't repeat it over and over again. Otherwise, others will kick their noses in the face and take it for granted. ”

"Brother, what does this mean?" Chao Gai didn't understand.

Wang Jin stared at Chao Gai's face, and said with a smile: "I mean Yuncheng Song Jiang, this person is in the officialdom but is in the rivers and lakes disputes. Ignoring the general interests of the country for the sake of petty profits does not live up to its name. I treat the people for free and help the poor, and I want the cottage to grow. He Song Jiang sent people everywhere to build momentum for himself, meaning

What do you want? ”

Chao Gai was silent, and the smile on his face narrowed a little.

Wang Jin saw that Chao Gai was a little embarrassed, so he didn't say anything more, and finally admonished: "Big brother, I didn't say bad things about your brother in front of you. I'm just telling the truth, Song Abshiji is scheming, and he is definitely not a good type. When you go up the mountain in the future, you have to have more eyes to avoid his way. ”

Chao Gai breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, a smile bloomed on his face, and he waved his hand again and again: "Hahaha, Brother Xian, Song Zhisi is in the officialdom, how can he go up the mountain and fall into the grass?" ”

"You don't understand brother!" Wang Jin patted Chao Gai on the shoulder, got up and walked to the ladies, and said without looking back: "Big brother, Song Zhusi has a good face, and I am afraid that the relationship between the two of you and the treasure given by the drunken gaffe have already been revealed." Maybe it's been the East Window incident. I'm willing to bet that when he meets you in the future, he'll say it's your letter that caused the trouble. He who pretends not to say it explicitly, but in his heart it is you who caused him to fall into the grass......"

Chao Gai quietly listened to Wang Jin's remarks, carefully pondering the meaning. I think it's so true, but I think it's unlikely. I wanted to ask, but found that Wang Jin accompanied his wife away, talking and laughing, inexplicably a little sour.

He was past the age of his establishment, but he was alone.

Chao Gai is a bold person, he doesn't mind Wang Jin's words at all, and his enthusiasm is undiminished.

In the next two days, Wang Jin lived in Erlong Mountain, either accompanying his wife to visit the mountains and rivers, picking wild fruits, or drinking with Chao Gai, Wu Yong and others, chatting about the development of cottages and the expansion of sea salt trading.

Sometimes, I also teach the training of minions by the way, and take out some of the souvenirs brought from Jeju Island overseas and give them to the minions of the cottage. that

Sweet and delicious, full and juicy, the tangerine is loved by everyone.

Two days later, it will be August 15th, the Mid-Autumn Festival!

King Chao Gai wanted to stay after the festival before leaving, but Wang Jin repeatedly refused. Bidding farewell to Erlong Mountain, he led the team down the mountain to the edge of the Qing River to board the boat and set sail.

Jeju, Supo Yangsan!

The large and small workshops on the mountain take turns to take a three-day holiday, and people are busy for the festival. The top and bottom of Yangsan were cleaned, the branches were pruned and ribbons were tied, and the fatty crabs and fish were fished, and the shops began to carry out promotions......

Liangshan is full of joy and bustle.

The envoys of the Chu Emperor stayed on the island for five days and completed the first batch of 30,000 stone sea salt trade. The two sides finalized the construction of a wharf and water village at the crossing of the Yellow River. Mr. Jin Jian, Li Zhuwan, refused to stay for the end of the festival, so he led the team down the mountain.

Xiao Jiasui took people to the edge of the water pool.

"Liangshan! Something like no other! Li Zhu looked at the vast water, looked at the giant island standing in the lake, and remembered what he had seen and heard these days. It's embarrassing to talk about the world's major events with Xiao Jiasui, Xu Guanzhong, etc.

The right-hand man under the command of Emperor Chu muttered imperceptibly, as if he had made some kind of decision in his heart. Then he led the team to board the ship and set sail south.

The Jin Emperor team is a little unbearable!

Fan Quan Guozhang has eaten and drunk well on the mountain these days, and negotiated a deal with dividends. The mood is cheerful, the voice is lustful, and some don't want to leave! Seeing that the island was jubilant and was invited, he immediately chose to stay.

He, a relative of the imperial family, wants to see how Xiaoxiao Liangshan celebrates the festival!

At the same time, more than 100 miles north of Liangshan.

A few groups of cattle and sheep dealers from the north drove herds of cattle, sheep, horses and other livestock. with the ordinary

The vendors are different, these teams have a strong escort team, and there are many people riding horses and holding sharp weapons to open the way or break off.

In addition, horses make up a large proportion of livestock.

These support teams were every three or five miles, and there were cavalry in the middle of the communication with each other. Obviously, it was a gang, and the total number of people was less than 1,800 people. All the way south, passing through Gaotang Prefecture, Yunzhou and other state capitals.

Especially when passing through Lingzhou, I learned that the city of Zengtou established by the Jurchens was destroyed by mysterious forces. There is not one left of the 350,000 men, women and children. What made the Song people feel shocked and sighed, but the group screamed excitedly.

This weird cattle and sheep dealer has a clear goal, it is Jeju's Supo Yangsan!
