Niu Mao Mountain, Black Tiger Gang Village, Miscellaneous Office.

"Hurry up and get in, you all listen to me, and you will stay here and do things from now on, and wait for orders at any time!" A gang of evil deeds and evil deeds caught dozens of people from the bottom of the mountain today.

"Brother Mao, why are you holding what a man this time, why don't you catch some women......" A younger brother asked.

Brother Mao snorted coldly and scolded: "I know women, damn it, these are all ordered by the big boss, in the future, we will catch more men to go up the mountain, if the Green Snake Gang has any action, we will send these people to take the lead, what is the use of women." ”

"Green Snake Gang, our Black Tiger Gang will be afraid, they have fought for so many years, they have not fought us, what are you afraid of?" the younger brother wondered.

Brother Mao scolded: "You know a hammer, this time is different from the past, the Green Snake Gang now has foreign masters to help, last time you also saw it, more than 40 masters of the imperial court's bandit squad have been leveled by the Green Snake Gang, our Black Tiger Gang does not have this strength, and if we don't take action, in the future, on this Niu Mao Mountain, the Green Snake Gang is afraid that it will be a monopoly." ”

The little brother muttered: "I said it at the beginning, our own people on Niumao Mountain have the final say, their Green Snake Gang has recruited foreign masters, this is unruly, hum, I look at the future, the government will attack their mountain pass again, we don't have to go over to help, not only that, I think we have to unite the Zhuhua Gang and the Shanghe Gang to put pressure on the Green Snake Gang." ”

The Black Tiger Gang, the Green Snake Gang, the Bamboo Flower Gang, and the Shanghe Gang are the four largest gangs on Niumao Mountain, all of which are local old gangs, and the number of the four gangs is between two thousand, each guarding an important passage up the mountain, and it is also the four most important passages on Niumao Mountain.

There are many other small gangs on Niumao Mountain, and you need to greet these four gangs when you go out of the mountain and enter the mountain, and you have to hand over a copy of the looted goods.

The four major gangs usually do not accept anyone, guarding their own territory to live, the upper echelons of the gang have an agreement, in order to maintain stability, Niu Mao Mountain must be the final say of the locals, even if it is to recruit gangs is to recruit local people in Shangluo County, if there is an official government to attack Niu Mao Mountain, no matter what grievances there are between gangs, they must put it down and fight against the government together, which is also one of the most important reasons why Niu Mao Mountain is difficult to attack.

Occasionally, they would go out together to commit crimes, and the looted goods would be divided equally.

Last time, each of their gangs sent more than 500 good men, plus the manpower of other small gangs, a total of 3,000 people, taking advantage of the busy snow disaster official mansion, suddenly launched an attack on the official warehouse of Shangluo County, and it was successful, and they snatched back the rations for more than half a year, which shows that this group of people on Niumao Mountain still has a certain strength.

Now the Green Snake Gang has recruited foreign masters, attacked the imperial court bandit squad, and reaped a lot of benefits and equipment, but did not distribute it to everyone, making it clear that it was breaking the rules, so that little brother said this.

Brother Mao said: "It's not our turn to call the shots for such things, don't worry, the big boss and the second boss will solve it." ”

After a pause, he continued: "You talk to these newcomers about the rules, I still have something to report to the three masters." ”

With that, he turned and left.

Li Wuchang and the three of them mixed in the crowd, listening carefully to the gossip of the two gangs of the Black Tiger Gang, and observing the surrounding situation by the way.

They were in an open canopy, surrounded on all sides by large walls, each with a large gate as an exit, and the roof was covered with leafy branches, and there were many black-clad bandits patrolling outside, and some bandits with whips and shouting loudly.

There was also a group of civilians working outside, moving stones, cutting down trees, building walls, etc., under the scorching sun, all extremely hard, and after a slight pause, Ma Shan would have a whip on his back, and then he would be reprimanded loudly.

"Ahem......" The bandit who stayed behind coughed lightly and said, "You all listen, now you all go out to work for Uncle Ben, and see that the group of people outside is not? Just like them, you have to work to eat, Uncle Ben warns you, don't try to escape in vain, otherwise there is only one end, that is, death." ”

After a pause, he continued: "If you behave well, Uncle Ben will consider letting you join our Black Tiger Gang." ”

After saying that, he took the whip and swung it into the void, and his eyes shot a fierce color.

The people who were arrested were all frightened, worried about what would happen next, and did not dare to speak out, so they obediently lined up and prepared to go out to work.

Li Wuchang glanced at Zhao Xun and Jiang Minglun, secretly walked to the back of the team, and took advantage of the moment when the bandit looked outside, unfolded the ghost figure method and slipped out first, and the speed was extremely amazing.

Zhao Xun and Jiang Minglun also quickly slipped out from the other side while everyone was queuing up, leaving only two undetectable rumors.

The bandit turned his head, but didn't notice anything unusual, and then said fiercely, hurry up.

Whoosh!

The three of them rushed out of the distance, then found a dense bush and quickly crouched down, their eyes glancing around.

Finally blended into the cow hair mountain unscathed.

Li Wuchang said with a smile: "We are lucky to have encountered a few drunks guarding that group of civilians in the back, their eyes are not sharp, and they are not very clever, otherwise it would be so easy to get in." ”

Zhao Xun sighed: "Bandits are bandits, obviously going out to do such a big thing as robbery, and they are still drunk and violent, and they have no discipline at all." ”

Jiang Minglun shook his head and said, "This also shows that the officers and soldiers of Shangluo County have no deterrent power at all in their eyes. ”

After a pause, he continued: "Now Zhai Changping is estimated to be in the hands of that Green Snake Gang, what should we do now? Don't tell me to punch in with my bare hands." ”

Zhao Xun said with a smile: "How can it be just like this, I heard their gossip just now and I know, each of their gangs has thousands of people, and each person will drown us with a soak of urine, and this time we still have to outwit." ”

Both of them looked at Li Wuchang and wanted to hear what he had to say.

Li Wuchang said with a smile: "You also heard it just now, that Green Snake Gang ignored the rules of Niutou Mountain and privately recruited foreign masters, this Black Tiger Gang is clearly unconvinced, we can take advantage of this and add a fire to them." ”

Jiang Minglun nodded and said, "It's better to plan well first." ”

Zhao Xun said with a smile: "I said stunned, you will really look for opportunities, it seems that we are going to do that kind of sowing discord again, this time let's pretend to be the bandits of the Black Tiger Gang to find the bad luck of the Green Snake Gang." ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Wuchang and Jiang Minglun both laughed, and they both remembered the last time the three of them pretended to be bandits from the Hanshui Gang to make trouble with the Jin Palace.

Jiang Minglun raised his hand and said: "I have a proposal, the bandit said to the group of captives just now, saying that those who perform well can join the Black Tiger Gang, does this mean that their Black Tiger Gang is now in urgent need of helpers?"

After a pause, he continued: "Then can we go directly to the door?" Let's just say that we have committed a crime, we have been hunted down by the government, we have admired the Black Tiger Gang for a long time, and we want to join the Black Tiger Gang directly. ”

Zhao Xun nodded and said, "This is a good way, but be careful." ”

Li Wuchang said: "It can be listed as a backup plan...... Well, just three directions. ”

"First, it hides in the shadows and uses various means to sow discord. ”

"Second, it is the person who Minglun said to directly find the Black Tiger Gang, Mao Sui recommended himself, and directly joined the Black Tiger Gang, if it can be done, it will get twice the result with half the effort. ”

"The only option left is for us to split up and do both. ”

According to the old rules, Li Wuchang proposed the approximate steps, and Zhao Xun and Jiang Minglun supplemented the details, trying to make the plan as perfect as possible.

Next, several people spent about an hour to customize three detailed plans in three directions, the final purpose of each plan is to provoke the conflict between the Green Snake Gang and the Black Tiger Gang, it is best to let the two gangs fight, and the three of them take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, touch the territory of the Green Snake Gang, and rescue Zhai Changping.

After making the plan, Li Wuchang proposed to implement the first plan first, hide in the shadows and do things to see if it can be done.

Because there is a certain risk in recklessly finding the Black Tiger Gang to recommend themselves, after all, the Black Tiger Gang is now in a sensitive period, and it will be extremely careful to absorb the gang.

As for what to do hidden in the shadows, they have prepared a lot of routines, including sneak attacks, poisoning, secretly pretending to be the Black Tiger Gang to provoke, etc., in short, they do everything.

Of course, before doing this, you must first familiarize yourself with the topography of Mt. Niumao.

Mt. Niumao is not as good as Mt. Nanshan, and although there are many dense forests, the trees are not so tall and lush, and the mountain road is not so difficult to walk.

Although there are many mountains, there are also many open flatlands, and these flatlands are lined with various large and small villages.

In fact, as a bandit concentration camp, there are many gangs, each gang has its own territory, after years of construction, the village is lined up, there are many houses, the walls are made of big stones, the houses are built with big trees, the style is simple and rough, and it has a unique style.

There are guards at the entrance to each stockade, and when you look at it, there are occasional popular stockades, which are full of people and people, and if not everyone is armed, it looks like a bazaar.

It can be seen that there are definitely a lot of people on Niumao Mountain.

After several hours of secret investigation, Li Wuchang, Zhao Xun, and Jiang Minglun found that there were four gangs that occupied a large territory, which were the Green Snake Gang, the Shanghe Gang, the Black Tiger Gang, and the Zhuhua Gang.

There are many other small gangs.

Some of them can't even be called gangs, but can only be called gangs, because they don't have their own stockades, only a few simple wooden houses.

When the sky is getting dark, torches are lit in the major villages, and it is very gorgeous to look at it from afar.

"Look, didn't that group of people come out from the direction of the Black Tiger Gang? did they make any moves?" Zhao Xun pointed to a stream of people holding torches in the distance.

The three of them had been surveying the terrain for an afternoon, and they were a little tired, but now they hid on a high slope and used some dry food and water to replenish their strength.

"Isn't that direction the territory of the Green Snake Gang?" Jiang Minglun frowned.

Li Wuchang pondered for a moment and said: "When the two of you were at the bottom of the mountain, you shot and injured the gang members of the Black Tiger Gang, and the three leaders of the Black Tiger Gang suspected that the Green Snake Gang did it, and I guess they just want to confirm with the Green Snake Gang now." ”

After a pause, he proposed, "Let's go along and see if there's a chance to come up with something." ”
