Chapter 269: Valley of the Wicked

After Chen Xizhen threw bricks and led the jade, Liu Huiniang took out the coping strategy that they had discussed many times.

Chen Xizhen didn't know if he didn't see it, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he saw it.

Because of Liu Huiniang, they almost counted all possible situations, including Gao Yu sent a naval army to intercept the Beiqing River to encircle the point for reinforcements.

It was only at this time that Chen Xizhen knew what professionalism was, and he also understood that Jiang Hongfei's first eight military advisors were really not raised for nothing.

At the same time, Chen Xizhen became more and more embarrassed, he really didn't expect that when he entered the decision-making level and offered the first strategy, there would be a loophole, and he didn't expect Jiang Hongfei's military division to be so powerful, and he would be able to do everything.

After the meeting ended, Jiang Hongfei left Chen Xizhen behind and said to him: "Don't be pressured, the previous plan was mostly the result of collective efforts, every military advisor has experienced your stage, and you are also thinking one-sided because of the closed news." ”

After a pause, Jiang Hongfei said to Chen Xizhen again: "If you don't have anything to do, you can stay and take a look at these strategies and intelligence, but there is one thing, you can't take away the things here." ”

Chen Xizhen hurriedly said: "The minister has nothing to do. ”

Jiang Hongfei didn't say anything more, but left very happily with Gao Liang, Liu Huiniang, and Mrs. Jia.

After Jiang Hongfei left, Chen Xizhen immediately looked at the strategies and deductions that Gao Yu might use against Shuibo Liangshan, as well as the corresponding countermeasures of Shuibo Liangshan.

Soon, a striking deduction appeared in Chen Xizhen's eyes.

I saw that the deduction was written: Gao Yu's only strategy that is possible to defeat my Shuibo Liangshan.

Chen Xizhen opened this deduction and saw that the rightmost side was written in Juanxiu's font: During the decisive battle between the two armies, instigate the prisoners of the Valley of the Wicked to storm Dazhai......

……

A small courtyard in the valley of the wicked.

When the rooster crows one after another, Li Gang and Chen Yu, who were sleeping on the opposite bed, woke up from their sleep.

The two habitually glanced at each other, and then began to dress themselves.

In the first year of Xuanhe, there was a big flood in Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo, and the disaster was serious, but the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty did not dare to express their opinions on this. Li Gang ignored the officials' slight words, and wrote a "Petition on the Flood Disaster", pointing out that when the flood hit and flooded the people's houses, the powerful ministers and eunuchs should have done their best to serve the country and save the people from the disaster, but in the past few days after the flood, the victims have not been relieved for a long time. He slammed the irresponsible behavior of those in power who were not sympathetic to the people's feelings.

He proposed that taxes should be reduced or exempted for the year, relief for the victims, and the harm to the people should be stopped, and officials who neglected their duties during the flood should be severely punished, punished them with canonical punishment, and promoted some people of insight who cared about the people's weal and woe.

Li Gang twice struck at the key points of the government, touching the powerful ministers who controlled the government, and Li Gang was soon retaliated against.

-- Cai Jing accused Li Gang of being inappropriate and demoted Li Gang to Shaxian County in Nanquan Prefecture as a petty tax official.

When Jiang Hongfei led the rebel army to retreat to Fujian and passed through Shaxian, Li Gang led more than 1,000 people in Shaxian to clear the wilderness, wanting to resist stubbornly.

However, the difference in strength between the two sides was too great, Shaxian was broken by Pang Wanchun and others, and Li Gang was captured alive.

At that time, fighting a small Shaxian county actually caused nearly 2,000 casualties to Pang Wanchun's department.

Therefore, after catching Li Gang, Pang Wanchun advocated that Li Gang be killed.

When Jiang Hongfei heard this, he didn't say a word, and drove Pang Wanchun away.

What are you kidding, Li Gang is a good talent, and it would be too tyrannical to let him go.

Jiang Hongfei didn't stay in Fujian for too long, so he hurriedly returned to Liangshan, and Li Gang and his family were also brought back by Jiang Hongfei.

Since Li Gang would rather die, Jiang Hongfei threw all the men of Li Gang's family into the Valley of the Wicked, and the women did not redistribute them, but gave them a separate courtyard for them to live temporarily.

As for Chen Yu?

It can be said that Zhao Jijunchen gave Jiang Hongfei a big gift.

Because Chen Yu lost the six million stone grains of the Zhao and Song dynasties, Tan Shu detained Chen Yu, and later sent someone back to Bianliang City in Tokyo to hand over to Zhao Ji.

Chen Yu lost so much grain, resulting in a serious shortage of grain in the Gyeonggi region of the Zhao Song Dynasty, not to mention, the Zhao Song Dynasty also had to raise grain from other regions to the southeast, the key, the six million Shi Cao grain was also taken away by the righteous army, it can be said that the Zhao Song Dynasty was extremely passive, it is no exaggeration to say that the Song army has not made any progress in the southeast at present, and Chen Yu has lost the six million Shi Cao grain.

According to Zhao Ji's meaning, Chen Yu should be directly killed.

Chen Yu did not defend himself, he was only a transfer envoy from Huaibei and Huainan, and was also in charge of the transfer work in the southeast, but he was not the actual person in charge of the transfer work in the southeast, in fact, the transfer work in the southeast was in charge of Zhu Mian, who was a part-time transfer envoy from Zhejiang and Zhejiang (so that it was convenient for Zhu Mian to use the gang ship to transport Huashigang), and the uprising in the southeast broke out too quickly, especially Jiang Hongfei, who knocked down the city of Hangzhou in just ten days, and did not give Chen Yu the opportunity to go south to receive the six million stone grains in person.

Chen Yu knew very well that the stake of the six million stone grains was too big, and Zhu Mian was dead, and he really did not expect a sudden uprising in the southeast, so he did not urge Zhu Mian to quickly transport the grain out of the southeast.

In other words, Chen Yu believed that he was guilty and was willing to be punished.

Later, it was some ministers of the Zhao Song Dynasty who knew Chen Yu's ability to intercede for Chen Yu, and hinted that Zhao Ji and Zhu Mian were the two Zhejiang transfer envoys, and the six million Shicao grain was actually lost in Hangzhou, and Chen Yu was sentenced to a punishment of stabbing with Cangzhou.

As soon as the people who could escort Chen Yu arrived in Enzhou, Sun Jing led the Liangshan army to Enzhou.

Chen Yu wanted to persuade Enzhou Zhizhou to defend the city, and then defend the city, and also said that he was willing to help defend the city.

Ke'en Prefecture not only did not appreciate it, but also gave Chen Yu as a gift to Sun Jing after Kaesong surrendered.

Sun Jing knew that Jiang Hongfei admired Chen Yu very much, so he sent someone to send Chen Yu to Jiang Hongfei.

Chen Yu, like Li Gang, is also resolutely unwilling to take refuge in Jiang Hongfei.

Jiang Hongfei was not in a hurry, but asked Chen Yu to accompany Li Gang, and at the same time sent someone to "invite" Chen Yu's family over.

As a result, Li Gang and Chen Yu became two special prisoners in the Valley of the Wicked.

- Li Gang and Chen Yu don't have to work with other prisoners, they only need to go to the political and educational office every day to listen to Zhang Shi's lectures for half a day, and the rest of the time, they can do whatever they want, go wherever they want, as long as it is not too excessive, no one cares about them.

Li Gang and Chen Yu got dressed, washed up, and walked out of their small courtyard.

As soon as they came out, Li Gang and Chen Yu saw the two brothers Cai Fu and Cai Qing walking towards them with thousands of dejected people.

Seeing Li Gang and Chen Yu, Cai Fu and Cai Qing politely saluted them.

Cai Fu and Cai Qing are human spirits, how can they not know, don't look at these two masters are prisoners now, maybe one day they will be able to soar into the sky and become big people like Shuibo Liangshan Nine Military Divisions or Wang Lun.

Therefore, without Li Gang and Chen Yu asking, Cai Fu and Cai Qing took the initiative to say: "Chen Guozhang brought more than 60,000 prisoners, and the outer valley really can't fit it, so he sent some to the inner valley for resettlement. ”

"More than 60,000 caught?!"

Li Gang and Chen Yu were both nervous in their hearts!

Previously, Jiang Hongfei defeated Zhang Ji's 80,000 army, but he only captured less than 20,000 prisoners.

This time, he actually captured more than 60,000 prisoners, it shouldn't be Gao Yu's defeat, right?!

And if Gao Yu is defeated, then Shuibo Liangshan will have the conditions to attack Bianliang City in Tokyo.

In that case, the Zhao Song Dynasty would be in danger!

Li Gang asked quietly: "What kind of big victory did the master of Jiangzhai achieve this time and capture so many people?" ”

It's not that Cai Fu and Cai Qing can't hear that Li Gang is inquiring into the ins and outs of this matter, but Jiang Hongfei has explained in advance, that is, Li Gang and Chen Yu can tell them what they want to know, and there is no need to hide it.

Based on this, Cai Fu told Li Gang and Chen Yu about Xiao Jiasui and Chen Xizhen teaming up to annihilate Yun Tianbiao's 80,000 troops and capture more than 60,000 prisoners alive.

Knowing that Shuibo Liangshan first annihilated Zhang Ji's 80,000 army, and then completely annihilated Yun Tianbiao's 80,000 army, and then thought that the supreme commander of Shuibo Liangshan this time was Gao Yu, a courtier, Li Gang and Chen Yu couldn't help but worry about the Zhao Song Dynasty......

In the huge inner valley, it is definitely impossible to lock up only Li Gang and Chen Yu, but they have a separate small courtyard and a separate small room, and there are dozens of rows of large rooms outside.

Seeing the newcomers, all the old people in the big room rushed out to see the excitement, and they pointed and poked at these newcomers from time to time, and whispered:

"It sounds like a Qingzhou accent."

"Hey, what are those people talking about, reply?"

"Eighty percent is the Zhengyi Village Sect Liang Shanjun to end."

"Look, it's Harran!"

"And Ma Yuan, Zhengyi Village and Halal Mountain are all finished."

In the midst of everyone's discussions, Cai Fu and Cai Qing handed over these prisoners to Feibao, the prison king here.

After the handover of the two sides, Wang Feibao took the superintendent to send Cai Fu and Cai Qing away.

Seeing that the supervisor was gone, the old people in the courtyard suddenly became lively, and they gloated and stepped forward to stare at these newcomers.

The people of Zhengyi Village and the people of Halal Mountain are not good stubble, and in the face of the old man's teasing and provocation, they fiercely return the color.

At this time, a person rushed out of the old man and hugged a big man in the Halal Mountain.

Just when those newcomers thought that the old man was going to stir up trouble, the man said with a look of surprise: "Third brother, why the hell are you here?" ”

Seeing this, Dahan was stunned at first, and then looked at the appearance of the person who hugged him, and there was a huge surprise that he met in a foreign country: "Old Five! You're not dead?!!! ”

It turned out that Yang San, Ma Wu and several others were sworn brothers, but Ma Wu was captured by Hua Rong when he attacked Qingzhou in Shuibo Liangshan, and Yang San later went to Qinghai Mountain, and this time he was arrested with the people of Qinghai Mountain.

In fact, the righteousness of Yang San and Ma Wu is similar to that of the ten friends in the meeting, and there is no real feeling.

But when they met here unexpectedly, both of them were overjoyed!

Just when the two wanted to have a good chat, Wang Feibao came back with the supervisor.

When the old man saw it, he immediately went back to stand up honestly, and even Ma Wu, who was not very good-tempered before, hurriedly separated from Yang San and ran to stand with those old men.

You must know that Shuibo Liangshan has always adhered to the attitude of full absorption when treating prisoners. Even if there are people who are not suitable for the hard requirements of the cottage, such as the old, weak, sick and disabled who have no evil deeds, and ordinary people who are not gifted with spiritual roots, they can also enjoy the treatment of ordinary people and become a part of the immigrants of Shuibo Liangshan, go to Liuqiu to reclaim the wasteland, and contribute to the construction of Shuibo Liangshan.

Under this basic principle, as long as they are seriously reformed, they will have to survive one day, otherwise, they will have to accept the life of labor reform here all the time.

Seeing that these old people were trained by Wang Feibao to be as obedient as pugs, some newcomers couldn't help but pout, feeling that these old people were not heroes, while more newcomers were a little overwhelmed.

Seeing that those newcomers didn't know whether they were alive or dead, a group of old people laughed, and even the old people who didn't think it was a big deal, and they all plucked those newcomers with bad intentions: "If you are a master, you will work against Wang Feibao, and if you win, everyone will obey you." ”

Those newcomers originally intended to make a name for themselves here, so that they could live more comfortably in the future, so they knew that the group in front of them had bad intentions, but they had no reason to retreat, but they all worked hard and wanted to give Wang Feibao and them some color.

Of course, there are also kind-hearted old men who warn the newcomers, "Acquaintances, don't provoke those prisoners and jailers, otherwise you will regret it later!" ”

Ma Wu also found an opportunity to see Yang San and instructed him: "Third brother, don't provoke the prison guards and jailers, otherwise you will be in big trouble." ”

Yang San asked, "What's the trouble?" Can these jailers and jailers kill me? ”

Ma Wu said: "Since the lives of our people, since Shuibo Liangshan has sent them, who dares to take them without permission?" ”

After a pause, Ma Wu said again: "You only need to remember one thing here, that is, if you don't cause trouble, you will be fine, and if you cause trouble, you will be in trouble!" ”

Yang San rolled his eyes and asked, "Old Five, tell your brother in detail, what trouble will there be?" Also, do we still have a chance to get out? ”

In the end, it was a righteous brother, Ma Wu didn't hide it, he said truthfully: "Of course there is a chance to go out, as long as I wait for three months of honest labor reform in the Valley of the Wicked, Wang Feibao will naturally guarantee that we go to the political and religious office to receive political education, there is no need to labor reform, as long as we attend classes and sing every day, and pass the assessment of the political department, we can be diverted according to our strengths and aspirations, or go to the army, or redivide the civilians, and when we are on the ground, we will be free." ”

"Singing?"

Yang San was stunned and said, "What kind of punishment is this?" ”

Ma Wu shook his head: "I don't know, but I won't be sad about the labor camp after all, so here, you must be honest and obedient, otherwise the first offense will be re-education through labor for six months, the second offense will be re-education through labor for one year, and the third offense will be re-education through labor for two years." ”

Speaking of this, Ma Wu pointed to a person in the distance with his chin: "That guy is from Zhaojia Village, he is very tough, he often works against the prison and jailers, he has been in labor camp here for more than four years, and he hasn't gone out yet, he is estimated to die here." ”

After listening to this, Yang San looked left and right, and asked, "Old Five, you honestly tell your brother, can we escape?" ”

Ma Wu smiled bitterly: "This Liangshan is full of people, and there is a vast white water outside, how much ability can you escape from here?" It's better to stay up honestly for a few months, go out through regular channels, and if you perform well, you can go out early. A few days ago, a group of newcomers reported that there were spies who had infiltrated the Valley of the Wicked, and there were fourteen or fifteen people who were sent to the Political and Educational Department in advance, damn it, they were all soft bones in the government, and they competed to be the first to show everything, and then not only did they all release them, but it is said that they were also rewarded with 100 acres of land and 100 spiritual money, which is enough for them to have food and clothing for the rest of their lives......"

Ma Wu said that he had no intention, but he made a tall young man not far away prick up his ears......
