Feng Chan's brigade finally left Chang'an, without any guards, only Wei Yuanzhong and a strong middle-aged man who was not angry and arrogant, riding a tall horse and walking at the forefront of the team. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThis column of unguarded brigades has naturally become the food in the stomach of the robbers in Guanzhong, and they don't care about the emperor and queen, and the king Lao Tzu who has no food will also be pulled into the water. The first day passed peacefully, because the robbers, who knew that they were not strong enough, gathered together, and they wanted to eat this feast together.

Empress Wu looked at Guanzhong Chidi Qianli and became more and more worried, this time the drought came too quickly, fortunately, in recent years, Han Tongwen has left a very rich family foundation for the Tang Empire, and those merchants have made enough money and grain to resist the drought while making money. Empress Wu knew that if the people were uneasy, then the empire would also be in turmoil. It's a pity that the three provinces have questioned each other because of the disaster relief strategy, and the power departments that used to control each other have now become a burden. Empress Wu urgently summoned Pei Yan to his carriage to discuss the strategy of disaster relief.

"Queen of Heaven, this is the evil result of mutual control between the three provinces, and none of them has the right to dominate," Pei Yan hurriedly said.

"However, Luoyang is the granary of the Tang Dynasty, and after His Majesty and Benhou arrive in Luoyang, the drought in the Guanzhong area should be alleviated."

"That's not bad, in recent years, Han Tongwen has made achievements in Beiting and Xizhou, Xizhou pays the most money and grain in the Tang Dynasty, and the commercial tax in Beiting is also equivalent to one-third of the tax in Datang" Speaking of these two states, Pei Yan had a smile on his face, because this is also the result of the officials of the Qingya Academy, and he did not contribute much to help Han Tongwen Pei Yan.

"Well, this Han Tongwen is a talent of the Pillar Country, it's a pity" Empress Wu sighed, "If he is here, there must be a way to find the best of both worlds, and it won't get to this point"

Just when Pei Yan and Empress Wu were discussing, countless bandits had already gathered on both sides of this huge team. In addition to the civilians who were persecuted by the drought, many of the robbers here were the big bandits. Although these thieves can't be compared with the Yangshan thieves, they are also real warriors, and the leaders of these robbers are now also discussing how to take down this fat meat that is fast to the mouth.

"Black Mountain Pig, this is really a big meal," a one-eyed thief sighed, and the only remaining one had greed in his eye.

"If it weren't for a big feast, would I be able to unite all my brothers?" said a dark-skinned middle-aged man surnamed Zhu, who was originally the head of a wealthy gentry in the Guanzhong area.

"There is a ghost stream in front of you, where is the most suitable place to do it" These people are very familiar with the surrounding roads.

"I see that they bring a lot of jewelry and property, they should have to go a long way, if the expectation is good, they should go to Luoyang court officials, the consequences of attacking the court members are very serious" a weak middle-aged man said, he had been tested for fame, and he probably knew something about this situation, but he only felt that it was the officials sent by the court to Luoyang for disaster relief, if they knew that it was the emperor and the queen of heaven who were sitting here, I am afraid that they would not dare to do it if they were ten dares.

"What are you afraid of, we people have already killed enough people to cut off their heads, and now we have to die if we are not ruthless. And I've already shown my brothers that the defense in these ranks is very weak, and there are no officers and soldiers at all," the Black Mountain Pig said fiercely.

"Okay, then do this vote, and the money you share can be scattered to find a place that no one knows about and become a rich man."

"I don't know what Brother Zhao means"

The eyes of these people all converged on this bandit surnamed Zhao, Zhao Zhenghu was different from them, he was a real bandit, and even an official member of the Yangshan bandits. The most powerful of the Yangshan thieves besides Ji Fang is Shi Tianlong, he is the general under Shi Tianlong, but unfortunately since Ji Fang became the commander, although he did not suppress their old Shi Tianlong, he still chose to hold on to Yangshan to recover his vitality. Shi Tianlong is a world-famous thief, everyone knows the name of the thug, and his subordinates are also very difficult to control. After Mo Zongli's death, the power of the Yangshan thieves was compressed by strong enemies from all sides, and a large part of these old Shi Tianlong troops who were accustomed to being arrogant chose to leave Yangshan to find another way to make a living, and Zhao Zhenghu was one of the leaders.

Looking at the rabble in front of him, Zhao Zhenghu was proud in his heart, although the discussion was very lively, but he still had to make the decision.

"How can I give up the fat meat in my mouth, even if the king of heaven comes, I will kill this group of people"

"Good"

With Zhao Zhenghu's support, these people can be regarded as settling down, after all, Zhao Zhenghu's strength can be regarded as a well-known name in Datang.

The team heading to Fengchan Songshan in Luoyang didn't seem to know that there were already several bandits waiting for their arrival in front of them, and Wei Yuanzhong and the fierce middle-aged man took the lead. has been on the road for three days in a row, and the calm and calm along the way made Wei Yuanzhong feel a little relieved.

"It's really thanks to my brother all this way," Wei Yuanzhong said with a smile.

"The real danger is yet to come"

"Brother, are you saying that there will be robbers ahead?" Wei Yuanzhong said in his heart.

"It's a must to meet bandits, and this is a peaceful journey because there are no bandits here who can eat us in one bite, so they should go to contact the other robbers"

"That...."

"Rest assured and boldly move forward, everything has me"

An ordinary guard approached the queen of heaven and stuffed a note through the gap. Empress Wu opened the note, and it said the situation ahead. Many important officials of the imperial court are in Feng Chan's brigade, and if there is anything but something that is a blow to her own forces, he must inquire about the situation in front of her.

The note read, ghosts are sorrowful, five gangs of robbers, rest assured to move forward. After reading it, Empress Wu crumpled the note and put it in her sleeve, since it was written that she could move forward with confidence, there would be no situation, and if the man in black didn't have this ability, she wouldn't dare to take this risky move.

The huge team moved very slowly, especially some ministers, these literati were weak and could not walk fast at all, and the dying Gaozong was even slower, it would have only taken seven days to travel, and they might not have been able to reach it even if they walked for twenty days. Feng Chan's team continued to move forward, and the road ahead became more and more rapid until it was blocked by two large mountains, leaving only a narrow path in the middle.

Wei Yuanzhong looked at this valley with some fear, he always remembered the words of this fierce middle-aged man, if these thieves attacked this place together, it should be the best terrain, as long as the front and back roads were blocked, no one could get out. But even the questions he could think of, the middle-aged man who was at the forefront of the team turned a blind eye, not knowing whether it was the ignorant who was fearless or the artist who was bold. Wei Yuanzhong had no other way now, he could only go forward, and if he retreated, he would kill him before those robbers.

As the name suggests, the ghost sorrow stream is a very dangerous mountain road, the widest part can only accommodate three horses in parallel, Zhao Zhenghu can't wait for five waves of robbers to ambush on both sides, just waiting for an order to swallow the fat meat that is about to be sent to the mouth. This huge team is getting closer and closer, and Zhao Zhenghu is also a little happy, what court officials are useless in his opinion, and that batch of property is prepared for him. has gradually been able to see the forefront of this team, and everyone is waiting for Zhao Zhenghu's order, but Zhao Zhenghu has an incredible look on his face when he sees the fierce middle-aged man at the front.

Wei Yuanzhong's heart was pounding, although he didn't understand the art of war, he also knew the current situation. As long as there are robbers blocking the front and back roads, they will surely become fat in the mouths of the robbers. The short mountain road made Wei Yuanzhong tremble, the wind was loud, and cold sweat flowed all the way.

The thieves on both sides of the mountain were very excited, and the people in these big teams all seemed to be noble, and in the past, they could eat for half a year as long as they robbed one, but now they actually came in a group, and there were few guards. The large team had already reached the center of their ambush, but Zhao Zhenghu was slow to give the order, which made them a little puzzled. Although the Fengzen team was advancing slowly, they were gradually getting out of their encirclement, which made them anxious.

"Boss Zhao, why don't you give an order yet," the Black Mountain Pig asked.

"Shut up for me," Zhao Zhenghu shouted.

Zhao Zhenghu is now in shock, it's not that he doesn't want to give an order, but he doesn't dare, because the sturdy middle-aged man at the front of this Zen team is none other than his boss, a well-known powerhouse in the green forest, thug Shi Tianlong. These people were originally Shi Tianlong's old department, and they came down from Yangshan to find Shi Tianlong, but they didn't know where Shi Tianlong was imprisoned, and they didn't have any news after a long time outside King Su's mansion, so they could only temporarily die of this heart, Zhao Zhenghu never expected to see him in such a situation.
