Chapter 6: Walk by Step
"In this case, Wang Hu is willing to saddle the horse for the son. "Wang Hu is not stupid, but now he has to agree, people can kill him in minutes, so why bother to use small means against himself.
After figuring it out, he decisively felt that his time had come, and when he met a nobleman, he immediately saddled up and put on a table not to mention jade plate delicacies, but it was also an incomparably rich food, which made the demon's eyes glow green!
At the same time, he ordered to go down, gathered more than 100 rogues under his hands, crossed his horse with knives, and was ready to set off at any time.
In fact, Xu Ping'an is really going to great lengths to use small means with him, it is not difficult to destroy this group of rabble, but the difficult thing is to bring all this group of rogues to Yangzhou Yamen alive, which is not a simple matter...
He admits that he shouldn't have promised such a big sea mouth to this woman with red lips and white teeth... It would be much simpler to uproot the stockade.
After Li Ji's inspection, the demon began to eat the fish and made a big face, but he didn't forget to pinch a large piece of meat and feed it to Xu Ping'an.
"Big brother... You eat too!"
………
After a long time, after eating and drinking.
"Are you all together?"
Wang Hu arched his hand and said: "Childe, only a few brothers are left to guard the village, and the rest are ready, just waiting outside the village, and they can go down the mountain to serve Gongzi at any time!"
"Bring it all, this village is not worth much silver, after this order is completed, this son will find another mountain for you." Xu Ping'an waved his hand and said undoubtedly.
"This..."Wang Hu was puzzled and hesitated.
"Huh?!"
Xu Ping'an snorted coldly, and Wang Hu immediately arched his hand and said, "Obey the order!"
"You go out and make arrangements, and by the way, prepare a little more rope, leg cuffs or something!"
"Yes!" Wang Hu didn't dare to ask anything more, and immediately went out of the conference hall to do business.
After he walked away, Xu Ping'an looked at the trembling fat tiger on the side, and said slowly, "Fat tiger, I'll give you a chance to live now." ”
"Peng!" the fat tiger burst into tears when he heard this, and knelt down directly.
"Master, thank you for your kindness!"
Xu Ping'an glanced at him and said, "I am conditional!"
"On what terms?"
"When we are gone, you will release all the people who are imprisoned in this ivory mountain, and then open Wang Hu's warehouse and distribute some silver to them. ”
The fat tiger breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and thought that he was going down the knife mountain into the sea of fire, so he nodded again and again.
"I warn you, don't do anything wrong in the future, take this ivory mountain belongings to find a place, buy a few acres of fertile land, and live a good life!"
Fat Tiger nodded again and again!
Xu Ping'an suddenly approached his ear and said coldly: "If you violate everything I just said, you know the consequences, and you will never have half a chance!"
The fat tiger burst into tears, I don't know if he was frightened or pretended to be moved, and muttered: "Master, if the world is peaceful, everyone will come to the grass and pin their heads to the waistband of their trousers, to put it bluntly, we are just some poor people!"
"Don't worry, my fat tiger will do what you say, and I will never do evil in the future!"
Xu Ping'an frowned: "What does it mean that the world is not peaceful?"
Fat Tiger was stunned and knew that he had said the wrong thing, and he didn't dare to speak.
"Say it or not!" Xu Ping'an said coldly.
The fat tiger shook his fat, and immediately confessed: "Those officials in Yangzhou City, as well as many powerful figures, have colluded with the green forest rogues, water bandits, and even the masters of the rivers and lakes in various places!"
"It's just a blow on the surface, and secretly colluding to get the court to give money to suppress the bandits, and then squeeze the money and grain of the people and merchants by the way!"
Speaking of this, he suddenly glanced behind him and said in a low voice: "I also heard that Wang Hu has dealings with the captain of Yangzhou City, and he has to hand over a large sum of silver every month. ”
Xu Ping'an said: "Do you have evidence?"
"There's no evidence, where can I know about this little minion, it's all passed on by people. But Wang Hu goes out alone every month, and he goes out with a big box of silver, which I have seen with my own eyes!"
Xu Ping'an frowned even deeper, a honeycomb of rogues emerged in the rivers and lakes, and there was even collusion with the people in the government, how could such a worldly people live?
It is no wonder that so many rogues on the border of Yangzhou are so bold and reckless, and it is no wonder that there are so many refugees who are like demons! It turns out that there are people in Yangzhou City who support them!
"Who is the commander of Yangzhou?"
At this time, the sound of "da-da-da" sounded outside the conference hall, and Wang Hu returned.
He pulled up the curtain and walked in, with a special ingot knife made by the government on his waist, and said loudly: "Childe, everything is ready, I only owe you an order, let's go down the mountain and arrest people at any time!"
Xu Ping'an hugged the demon and greeted Li Ji.
"Let's go!"
Then everyone went out, and the fat tiger slipped away quietly.
Outside the walled city of Ivory Mountain, the torches soared to the sky, shining brightly on this mountain stream, and at this time there were already hundreds of people and horses, all leading a horse, wearing steel knives, at first glance I thought it was a small army!
Xu Ping'an was a little shocked, horses were a rarity in wartime and peacetime.
Since the establishment of the Celestial Empire, it has been strictly forbidden to slaughter horses without permission, and if you are caught, you will go to prison!
Where did a hundred horses come from?!
"Hello Snow Boy!" everyone shouted with their arms together, holding steel knives in their hands, that was a good look, this Wang Hu was indeed a good fart.
"Childe, please get on the horse. Wang Hu made a gesture of please.
Xu Ping'an glanced at the iron ingot knife on his waist, which was a common saber used by the officials of the Great Heavenly Empire, the knife was light and heavy, and no one could wear it in ordinary people.
Then he turned over and took the demon from Li Ji's hands.
Li Ji did not get on the horse, but led the horse for him, deliberately separating Wang Hu and the others. This scene was seen by Wang Hu, and it made him firmly believe that Xu Ping'an was a big man.
Just ask, how many people in the rivers and lakes can make a terrifying master willing to lead a horse to protect him?
"Let's go!" Wang Hu gave an order, and the mighty team of rogues immediately started and walked on this rugged and winding path.
"Childe doesn't know where we're going now?" asked Wang Hu cautiously.
"Let's go, you'll know when you get there. ”
Then without saying a word, Xu Ping'an relied on his keen memory to bring these rogues to the "trap"!
About three hours passed, and finally they arrived at the place where they encountered the rogue yesterday, that is, the land of the porridge, which had been set up by the Ivory Mountain's own people.
"Lord Wangzhai, have you ever heard of the famous Qilu Tiefang Formation of the Celestial Empire?" Xu Ping'an said.
"In the next reckless, not like the son who reads poetry and books, and has a strategy, this iron party is really unheard of. Wang Hu smiled, and did not forget to pat himself on the back in response.
"It's very simple, this son will teach you, you can use it in a while, and in the future, you can use it to grab territory and fight with the government, the effect is remarkable, and it can definitely increase the combat effectiveness of your three hundred people by more than one level. ”
Xu Ping'an deliberately said that it was amazing, seducing him but hanging him, his face was very spirited, as if his son was giving grace.
Wang Hu's eyes lit up when he heard this, his men and horses were quite a few in the green forest, but almost every month, a large number of his men would die when fighting others.
Now I heard that there is a marching formation from the army of the Celestial Empire that can improve combat effectiveness, so I naturally care about it, after all, he still wants to increase his power.
Wang Hu immediately bowed his hand and said, "Childe, please also give advice, my brothers in Ivory Mountain are willing to be dispatched by you!"
He smiled faintly and glanced at the shadows on the hillside ahead, it was now dark and he couldn't see anything.
"That's it, this son will line up for you, give it a try, and you can use it later when you arrest people. ”
He waved his hand pretending to be vain, and Wang Hu immediately bent down, looking humbly taught.
"The Qilu Tiefang array was once left by the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty, who dared to fight the front, it used to be the existence of killing the kings of the feudal clans, and it was the most holy for the soldiers. ”
"This formation pays attention to fast, Qi, ruthless, the front and the follow-up do not leave any room for fast, the Qi army is in line, the charge is for Qi, and the horse's hooves pointed by the sword soldiers are ruthless. ”
Everyone was silent when they heard this, and they all knew that this was a big man, and the owners of their own villages were so low, no one dared to doubt the slightest, and they all listened carefully.
"Now you only need to divide the hundred brothers into ten rows and ten columns, no more than half a meter apart, and enter the horse joint camp together!"
Wang Hu has a city government, but unfortunately he has no culture, and the horses can't be separated by more than half a meter, this kind of nonsense he also thinks is "the principle of soldiers", and muttered for a while.
He was full of arrogance, waved his arm, and shouted: "Listen to the dispatch of the son, Buqilu Tiefang is in formation!"
The crowd raised his sword and shouted excitedly, "Listen to the son's order!"
"Array!"
It can be said that the crowd is passionate and resounding in the sky.
Xu Ping'an smiled directly, feeling that being with this group of rogues was too insulting to his level, and he didn't need any strategy and city government at all, just bragging all over the sky.
Soon, ten rows and ten columns of rogues were arranged, and they were very close to each other, and they were extremely strange. Sitting on a horse full of gangsterism, they all look crooked, and they look like a hairy military formation!
At this time, Wang Hu noticed that the situation was too close: "Childe, I am afraid that the horses will trample on each other in this way..."
Xu Ping'an said calmly: "Where are there so many words, this son has read a lot of books since he was a child, can this little art of war still be mistaken? Or you are suspecting that there is something wrong with the formation of the Celestial Empire!"
"Huh?"
Wang Hu trembled, and hurriedly whispered, "Don't dare, don't dare!"
Xu Ping'an smiled with satisfaction, and secretly said in his heart that if he didn't let the horses trample on it, how could he send you to the official mansion?
"Now is the time to test you, do you see the bushes in front of you?
A lot of official silver, according to the regulations of the Great Heavenly Empire, it is generally not less than five taels, you must know that a master of Yangzhou Yamen is only so much a year.
In the bazaar, the upper white rice (stone) is nine coins and five cents, the middle white rice (stone) is nine coins and two cents and six cents and eight cents, the lower white rice (stone) is eight coins and three cents, the white flour (catty) is nine cents, and the silver is exchanged for one thousand cents per two.
