Cow Mao Mountain, a secret hill.

Li Wuchang, Zhao Xun, and Jiang Minglun got together again to exchange information and discuss countermeasures.

This was the fourth day they had come to Niumao Mountain.

During this period, Li Wuchang secretly investigated the news in the Black Tiger Gang, and after a few days, he was already very familiar with Chen Mao's gang, because he had been in the gang for a long time, so he had no part in robbing the house, he mainly followed a few small minions to patrol the mountain, and occasionally watched the civilians who were captured working on the mountain, the work was relatively easy, just the food was average, and there was no entertainment.

In the past few days, Zhao Xun and Jiang Minglun have mainly investigated the situation of other small gangs except the Black Tiger Gang and the Green Snake Gang, mainly to find out some gangs that are not convinced by the Green Snake Gang.

"At present, many of the gangs under the Black Tiger Gang are dissatisfied with the Green Snake Gang, and they are not angry that the Green Snake Gang has robbed the position of the boss of Niu Mao Mountain, but several leaders of the Black Tiger Gang are quite restrained, and they should not want to cause trouble. Li Wuchang briefly introduced the situation of the Black Tiger Gang.

The Green Snake Gang has robbed a lot of small gangs of territory and goods, and the Green Snake Gang's rhetoric is to clear the court spies, everyone knows in their hearts that this set of rhetoric has more or less loopholes in it, because many small gangs have been rooted in Niumaoshan for a long time, and they all know the roots, and they are definitely not the spies of the court.

The Green Snake Gang eradicated the heads of these small gangs, and issued instructions to let the members of their gang join the Green Snake Gang, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Green Snake Gang was expanding its personnel.

The reason why the Black Tiger Gang did not express their opinions was because the Green Snake Gang did not violate the fundamental interests of the Black Tiger Gang, and secondly, the Green Snake Gang had the support of Zhu Changlong and his gang of masters.

Li Wuchang has met the people of the Green Snake Gang several times when he was patrolling, the people of the Green Snake Gang are very arrogant, and every time they will make a provocation, Li Wuchang wants to take the opportunity to burn the fire more vigorously, but every time he is stopped by Chen Mao, saying that the three masters have ordered not to entangle with the Green Snake Gang, so most of the people below have fire in their hearts.

After listening to Li Wuchang's introduction, Zhao Xun also talked about the harvest in the past few days: "In the past few days, several small gangs have been cleaned up by the Green Snake Gang, and they are still the same, characterizing the leaders of those small gangs as spies in the court, killing them directly, and then giving up all the goods and territory, only absorbing the manpower of those small gangs, as long as there are those who are not satisfied, they will all be killed." The other two big gangs, the Shanghe Gang and the Zhuhua Gang, made it clear that they didn't want to cause trouble, and they didn't say a word after receiving some money, and the other small gangs dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak. ”

Jiang Minglun analyzed: "It seems that Zhu Changlong and his gang have a big plan, they must want to unify Niumao Mountain, control these gangs, and then call out to the imperial court, maybe the last Jizhou grain and grass robbery case is really related to them, so it seems that the Hanshui Gang's rebellion is obvious." ”

Zhao Xun nodded and said: "The Hanshui Gang was slapped by the Jin Wangfu last time and was forced out of Chang'an City, they were certain to be dissatisfied, but they didn't expect them to dare to cause trouble everywhere, and now Niu Mao Shan was cut by Zhu Changlong and his gang with such a blunt knife, maybe they will really dominate Niu Mao Mountain, and then Niu Mao Mountain's group will definitely be more effective and more difficult to deal with, which is not good news for us or the imperial court." ”

Since Li Wuchang was kidnapped by Zhu Changlong last time, he has always held a grudge against the Han Water Gang, always thinking about the Yin Han Water Gang, Zhao Xun and Jiang Minglun also strongly supported this matter, if the Han Water Gang is getting stronger and stronger, it is indeed not good news for them.

Li Wuchang sighed and said, "We must act as soon as possible, otherwise Zhai Changping will be in danger." ”

After a pause, he analyzed: "First, if Zhu Changlong and his gang slowly control Niumao Mountain, maybe they won't keep the captives of Zhai Changping and his gang of the imperial court." Second, the imperial court's bandit squad suffered such a serious provocation, Yongzhou assassin Xue Shanglin will definitely take countermeasures, maybe a large army has been assembled, just waiting to attack Niumao Mountain, then Zhai Changping may be used to sacrifice the flag, during the war, how can the imperial court take care of only 20 people. ”

Indeed, no matter what the situation is, Zhai Changping's situation will only become more and more dangerous.

Jiang Minglun said: "Stunned, you say, what should I do?"

Li Wuchang thought for a long time, and said: "These days, whether it is the situation of the gangs on the mountain or the terrain on the mountain, it has been almost explored, now we have a two-pronged approach, let's do it tonight, you two find an opportunity to attack those small gangs who are dissatisfied with the Green Snake Gang on weekdays or close to the Green Snake Gang's village, the means are a little more intense, injure their people, and then burn their houses, no need to pretend to be the people of the Green Snake Gang, just do things directly, it is better to put on a little makeup."

After a pause, he continued: "And I will continue to stay in the Black Tiger Gang, a gang that can fight with the Green Snake Gang, find an opportunity to do something to sow discord, try to provoke the anger of the gang, you pay attention to the Black Tiger Gang's stockade from time to time, and if there is any movement, come and cooperate with me." ”

Jiang Minglun nodded and said, "There are not many people in those small gangs, and there are no masters, and now they are also in a state of trembling, so it will be easy to start...... Do you want to provoke the Shanghe Gang and the Bamboo Flower Gang?"

Li Wuchang continued: "If there is a good opportunity, try it, but you must be careful, the Shanghe Gang and the Zhuhua Gang are both big gangs on Niumao Mountain, and their strength should not be underestimated. ”

Zhao Xun sighed: "So the plan can't catch up with the changes, we have made several sets of plans in detail before, and now they are almost all overturned, all because of the appearance of Zhu Changlong." ”

Li Wuchang smiled: "It's okay, let's have the fourth set of plans, which is called improvisation." ”

After the three of them finished discussing and exchanging some detailed suggestions, they dispersed.

After nightfall that night, Zhao Xun and Jiang Minglun began to act in disguise, specifically picking the kind of small gang that has not many people and is not convinced by the Green Snake Gang.

Although the methods are fierce, they are very measured, they did not kill people, but they kept these people, and maybe they could attack the Green Snake Gang.

In the middle of the night, the fire on Niumao Mountain was soaring, and there was the sound of walking water everywhere, even the Shanghe Gang, the Black Tiger Gang and the Zhuhua Gang were alarmed, Zhao Xun and Jiang Minglun took the opportunity to stop and came to the secret hill to secretly observe the development of the situation.

Li Wuchang has been lying on the bed and practicing silently, always paying attention to the news.

"Bang bang bang!"

There was a knock on the wooden door.

More than a dozen little minions who lived in the same wooden house with Li Wuchang were woken up and shouted, "Who?"

"Get me all up, something happened. Chen Mao's voice came from outside.

The crowd was agitated, and they quickly got up from the bed and opened the door.

"What's the matter, Brother Mao?" Everyone in the room got up, looking nervous, and instantly lit a few torches to light up the dark room.

"It may be that the imperial court has sent someone to attack it, all pay attention, pick up the guys, and go out with me. Chen Mao commanded.

More than a dozen minions were all bluffed.

At this time, the people of the imperial court attacked?

There was no time to think about it at the moment, and everyone picked up their guys from the corner and rushed out of the house.

Li Wuchang also walked to the corner and picked up the weapon issued to him by the Black Tiger Gang, a very inferior broken knife.

There is a shortage of iron weapons on Niumao Mountain, and there are many bandits, so Chen Mao won this broken knife to get it, and when Li Wuchang was patrolling in the past few days, he found that many bandits were still holding a stick.

When he went out, Li Wuchang found that the matter was really big, and when he looked over, many places in Niumao Mountain were full of fire, shouting and scolding.

"Grandma is a bear, those two boys are fast. Li Wuchang secretly sighed, and was about to follow Chen Mao to the mountain pass, when suddenly he had a flash of inspiration and quickly ran back to the house.

Li Wuchang condensed his true qi in his palm and prepared to set it on fire.

"Look at Lao Tzu's Flame Knife!"

The house is made of pure wood, and there are more than a dozen wooden beds covered with thick thatch in the house, Li Wuchang uses the true qi of the fire system to set fire to the thatch of more than a dozen beds, and then quickly rushes out of the house, and after a while the house will be completely burned, and this piece of wooden houses are all connected, and there will be a good show to watch later.

Chen Mao and his gang had already run a distance, and Li Wuchang used the ghost figure technique to hurry away.

After a while, Li Wuchang followed them, naturally following at the back of the line.

Seeing that everyone was very silent, Li Wuchang shouted loudly: "Brother Mao, is it really the imperial court that sent someone to make trouble? ”

Chen Mao replied: "It's just a guess now, it stands to reason that if someone from the imperial court attacks in, there will be an early warning at the entrance of Niumao Mountain, and there are people waiting there for twelve hours a day, so now I have to take a look, move quickly, and the three masters have already rushed over first." ”

This Li Wuchang knows that there are four entrances to Niumao Mountain that are relatively easy to go up the mountain, and the other entrances are very dangerous, the road is complex and narrow, the terrain is very steep, and it is difficult to go up the mountain.

If the imperial court wanted to attack Niumao Mountain on a large scale, it had to enter the mountain through those four entrances.

The four entrances are guarded by several large gangs on the mountain, the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are stockades near each entrance, which are full of hundreds of people, and equipped with a large number of bows and arrows, it is very difficult to kill.

After a while, everyone rushed to the mountain pass guarded by the Black Tiger Gang.

The third master, Shao Xiong, has arrived, and a large number of people have been gathered here.

Chen Mao observed the scene a little, saw no traces of the fight, stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "The third master, are you from the imperial court?"

Shao Xiong said lightly: "No one attacked the entrance of our Black Tiger Gang, and I sent people to patrol around just now, but I didn't find a large group of people, I guess it's not from the imperial court." ”

Chen Mao's face changed, and he was puzzled: "Three masters, you mean?"

Shao Xiong snorted coldly: "Hurting people and setting fire in the middle of the night, isn't that what their Green Snake Gang likes to use?"

Chen Mao said cautiously: "Green Snake Gang, although they have done that kind of thing, but tonight's movement is so big, at a glance, at least a dozen places are on fire, the Green Snake Gang may not dare to offend more than a dozen small gangs at the same time, right?"

Shao Xiong said: "Recently, the Green Snake Gang has swallowed up six small gangs, absorbing more than 700 gangs, and now their number has exceeded 3,000, of course their courage is getting fatter and fatter. ”

After a pause, he continued: "We can't go on like this anymore, otherwise there will only be the Green Snake Gang left on this Niumao Mountain." ”

"Three masters, three masters, the big boss asked you to take people back to the village immediately. "There's a little minion to report.

"What's wrong?" Shao Xiong saw that little minion looked anxious, and felt a little strange in his heart.

"One of our Black Tiger Gang houses is on fire, more than a dozen houses are on fire, the fire is spreading, and it will not be extinguished for a while. The little minion continued.

"Fuck, go back with me. Shao Xiong scolded fiercely, and then ordered his subordinates to go back.
