Section 27 Keeping tigers

Jeju is the location of the Seoseo-ro Seoji Road, in the southwest of Shandong. Qingzhou is the Shuai Sidi of Jingdong East Road, in the north of Shandong.

Yangsan belongs to Jeju.

Qingzhou or Erlong Mountain is actually not close to Liangshan.

From Liangshan straight north to Erlong Mountain, you have to pass through Dongping Mansion, Xiqing Mansion or Jinan Mansion and Zizhou.

Wu sneered in his heart: It is enough to support a pole. If we a group of felons can run so far safely, we will take your Liangshan at risk?

If you want to harm us, Liangshan has 800 miles of water from the outside, and it is completely possible to be unaware. I want to deceive the king of heaven with false benevolence and false righteousness. I don't know what the hell you're up to?

On his face, he nodded with a smile: "Erlong Mountain? I've heard of it. It is said to be a dangerous place. It's just that there seems to be a strongman there, right? ”

Zhao Yue ignored Wu Yong.

This person is just a poor teacher who has never left the countryside of Yuncheng and has no great knowledge, who is calculating people's ideas, acting insidiously, and guessing from a malicious point of view in the habit of people. At this time, he became a lost dog and a frightened bird, and his life was out of his own control, and he analyzed things more and more from a bad point of view.

Chao Gai is a mixed river and lake, and he knows a little more about Erlong Mountain, and he does know that it is occupied by a golden-eyed tiger Deng Long, but there is no doubt in his eyes, and he has confidence in Zhao Yue and is full of expectations.

Zhao Yuexin said: This is the gap between master and slave.

Chao Gai has fatal shortcomings when he is the boss, but he is bold, has great strength and can tolerate people, treats people with sincerity, and has extraordinary force and courage, so he can lead a group of reckless people to open up a foundation for the lord. No matter how smart Wu Yong is, he doesn't have the most basic qualities of the male master, and he can only rely on following the boss to become a military advisor. However, Song Jiang almost includes the specialties of Chao and Wu. Therefore, it can top off the cover and steadily suppress Wu Yong, who is also a literati. With a weak body, he squeezed the heroes into a fist and played in the palm of his hand.

He smiled at Chao Gai and said, "The King of Heaven knows. Erlong Mountain resembles the top of the mountain arched up to the top of the mountain in the conflict of two dragons, and got the name, although there is a ravine on the mountain to roughly demarcate two areas, it is really one, the area is vast, and 100,000 soldiers and horses can be saved. But there is only one road up the mountain formed by the ravine, and it can be set up with three gates that are very easy to defend.

The other three sides of the summit are steep cliffs, which are difficult for apes to climb. The Great Army could not attack. The people on the mountain want to retreat, but they can go down the rope and retreat into the mountains to hide.

The Baozhu Temple on the mountain can be inhabited, there is Qingwei spring water for drinking, there is land to grow grain and vegetables, there is a lake on the mountain side to hook up the river, it is very convenient to run money and grain, when it is critical, the mountain is hoisted with a long rope to collect the materials transported by ship. There are reeds in the lake to hide boats. There are fish, water, and retreat, and they are not afraid of a long-term siege by officials and soldiers.

As for the sortie, it is also convenient.

Not too far from the side of the mountain is an official road, and there are many rich households in Qingzhou. In addition, there are several places such as Peach Blossom Mountain and Qingfeng Mountain that can take care of each other, which is indeed no worse than here. ”

At this time, Song Jiang was still the public gate. He Chao Gai took two completely different paths, the two were righteous brothers and helped each other. There are no points of conflict. Chao Gai didn't know the implication that Zhao Yue deliberately mentioned the top of the two dragons, and he didn't know the specific situation of Erlong Mountain. When I heard this, I was just overjoyed.

Wu Yong was stunned and ecstatic: "It's actually such a treasure? ”

Happy to be like this?

Turtles.

Zhao Yue was contemptuous in his heart.

Shandong out of Liangshan heroes. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, dozens of hundreds of general-level figures emerged in Rongcheng County, a county under Weihai City, not to mention the entire Shandong, but it was never the basis for hegemony. The reason is that Shandong does not have a vast and dangerous strategic longitudinal extension area.

Erlong Mountain is indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack, with the weapons of this era, 10,000 people defend, 100,000 elite troops are also difficult to break through in a short time, but it is also trapped in too sinister, easily blocking the foreign enemy, but it is not conducive to attacking from all directions. In order to defeat a country with a corner of the rebellion, it is necessary to carry out guerrilla warfare flexibly and mobilely, and it is even more necessary to have a vast mobile living space and a popular base.

If the people of Erlongshan escaped from this danger in desperation, and entered the nearby mountains, the wilderness and mountains would not be inhabited, and once they were blocked by the officers of the surrounding state capitals, they could only starve to death in the mountains.

Fortunately, the Great Song Dynasty implemented a high degree of emphasis on literature and light on military force, but in fact, it was an external strong and middle cadre that was not transferred by the will of the people, and the six divisions of the Western Army were the most capable of fighting, followed by the Northern Army, and they could also fight, and the internal garrison had already been eroded, and the officers and troops around Erlong Mountain were weak and weak, and they were not able to take down Erlong Mountain at all.

In short, Erlong Mountain is just a place to keep the situation.

Chao Gai obviously hadn't poured out his mind at this time to have the ambition to overthrow the Great Song Dynasty, and just wanted to have a place to stay and let the brothers get away with it. Wu Yong's thinking is only limited to being a safe and happy mountain king.

Zhao Yue understood their character and ideological limitations, and knew that they would not be able to achieve great things, so he arranged them in Erlong Mountain, just to raise a tiger and prepare a foundation for Song Jiang to accumulate strength.

In Wu Yong's fiery gaze, Zhao Yue said lightly: "I have taken Erlong Mountain on behalf of the Heavenly King. At this time, it is my people who are holding the cottage. Just wait for the king of heaven and all the heroes to occupy it.

It is easy to go, too. Don't risk going overland.

There are several rivers connected between Liangshanbo and Erlongshan on the side of Erlong Mountain, although some sections of the river are not suitable for large boats, but the ones of several hundred stones are unhindered. The king of heaven happened to have a suitable boat, so he only played the brother who led me in the dark and quietly went up the river, and tried to reach it in the morning. ”

Master Ma Ling and Li Yun led thirty elite amphibious troops, which were arrived at the Dragon Pond by boat.

Chao Gai is used to being the boss, and he doesn't like to listen to other people's orders, so he naturally wants to have a foundation for himself. Wu is conceited and talented, and he is even more unwilling to be an ordinary leader under anyone, and now he is bent on being a second-in-command with Chao Gai. Neither of them will serve Zhao Yue.

Hearing that Zhao Yue's arrangements were clear and proper, the two of them finally fell into a stomach.

Chao Gai was excited to thank Zhao Yue for his help, and wanted to leave most of the money to thank him. Although it takes more money to gain a foothold in Erlong Mountain, but if this is not the case, he will not be able to go.

Zhao Yue frowned and said, "What is the Heavenly King doing?" ”

"What my family lacks is a heroic friend like the king, and there is never a shortage of money. If you do this again, shouldn't I be a brother? ”

Wu breathed a sigh of relief secretly.

That's a lot of money. How to live in Erlong Mountain, this is the most important foundation. To thank Zhao Yue is also a matter of the future.

Chao Gai sighed: "If it weren't for Gongyue, how would I have a way to live?" ”

"What is a lot of money? How can it be more than this? Giving away is just a gesture of appreciation. Since Gongyue insisted on not accepting it, Gai had no choice but to agree, with kindness in his heart, if there is something in the future, please command. ”

Zhao Yue nodded: "Love is not precious. A momentary insincerity. It's a long time coming. ”

Chao Gai nodded. Wu Yong also agreed.

Zhao Yue frowned and reminded: "The Heavenly King blames Gongyue for being too talkative. It is the wisdom of one thing. Do things secretly, harm others and yourself. Today's plan is only known to the King of Heaven and Mr. Jialiang, and must not be known to others, otherwise once it is leaked, my family will be destroyed. Remember. ”

Wu's face flushed. It was he who planned the birth of the Gang to be secret, so there was this disaster.

Chao Gai nodded solemnly: "I only said that you don't accept it, but you don't take it and send it to the official, Erlongshan is the retreat prepared earlier." Chao swore to Tianming that if there was a leak, he would pay for his life in front of Gongyue. ”

Zhao Yue nodded: "I trust the King of Heaven to take a big risk and reach out to help this one." ”

and looked at Wu Yong.

Wu Yong hurriedly expressed his attitude and swore: "Brother Gongyue, rest assured, Wu Yong has forgotten about this matter and will never mention it." Otherwise, there is no place to die. ”

Gongyue smiled, but said solemnly in an instant: "The two of you know my name as a bully, but I don't know why I am so famous. Yue Pingsheng hates the unrighteous the most in his life, but if there is a betrayal, he will not be spared, and he will be able to kill him. ”

Murderous and invasive.

Not to mention Wu Yong, even Chao Gai was horrified when he saw Zhao Yue's eyes turned into strange and secluded.

Gongyue's face turned warm again, and he said with a smile: "The arrangements over there are all right, just waiting for the Heavenly King to take over." The road is not close, time is pressing, get on the boat quickly, just go down with my men. ”

Chao Gai and Wu Yong hugged their fists at Zhao Yue: "Brother Xian, there will be a period later." ”

Zhao Yue returned the salute: "Cherish all the way." ”

A group of heroes returned to the boat and rushed to Erlong Mountain overnight, and sure enough, they went straight to the Evil Dragon Pond.

At this time, the sky was already light, and Chao Gai glanced at the dim lake area, and suddenly swept away the fatigue of rowing all night and became excited.

This body of water cannot be compared with the 800 miles of Liangshan Bo, but the area is really not small, most of the water is very deep, but there are large areas of dense reeds on the middle and inner sides of the mountain, and there are rivers stretching into the distance. If you can train a capable navy to transport the looted materials, it is really fast and convenient, if the imperial court finds out that the navy is sent to conquer and suppress, you can't go down the river with a big boat, why be afraid of a small boat? He worries that the cottage is not thriving.

Looking at the mountain again, most of the ones in front of you are dozens of zhang straight, and the slightly slower ones are steep and difficult to climb.

Hibder.

Wu Neng, who was in charge of staring at this side, saw Chao Gai coming on the mountain, and the task was over, so he smiled and went back to report to the master.

Yesterday, after they rowed to arrive, it was already evening.

Deng Long was just a turtle monk, who knew the power of technology, thinking that no one could climb to the top of the mountain from the other three sides, and there was never anyone to defend this side of the mountain.

Li Yun used the crossbow bolt he had brought on the boat to shoot a rope crossbow arrow from the pond to the cliff. The crossbow arrow is a three-pronged flying claw like an anchor, and the people below pull the rope, and the claws will grab the big tree on the cliff, and the people who come are all good hands, after Ma Ling and so on, the others climbed and dragged them, and climbed up easily in turn, quietly familiarized themselves with the terrain, and took advantage of the fact that the thieves did not know the night to enter the Baozhu Temple, and attacked with a mask.

When Chao Gai and his party went up to the top of the mountain smoothly along the treacherous mountain road, they were stunned to find that there was no figure walking on the mountain, and they didn't see half of Zhao Yue's people, and Deng Long and hundreds of other thieves were tied to the ground and waited for them to decide their fate.

I checked the mountain, and there was indeed no one else. (To be continued......)
