"Taiwei, in that land of forests, what is hidden is the biggest water thief in Changzhou, 'Niu Ear'."

As one of the few "wang clans" in Jiaozhou, the Tao family operates here, and it is also appropriate to say "five hundred years of romance" to the outside world.

The ancestor of Jiaozhou Tao recognized Dongwu Taozhang. The Wu, who has been friends for generations and takes "pearls and rice" as their business, recognizes Wuyan as their ancestor.

Now the respective branches of these two families are Li Daoxing's "right-hand men" in Jiaozhou, specializing in doing some "wet work", reputation or something, there is no need to think about it. Even if they are both Han Chinese, the original Jiaozhou landowners, their impression of the two families will probably not be better than that "sir, this-ay!" "How much stronger.

Jiaozhou Dow's three-room is a self-supporting door, because of the migration to Changzhou Prefecture, it is mostly called "Changzhou Dow". Because his patriarch Tao Bai married the daughter of the patriarch of Annanyi, his status in the cave villages of Changzhou is also very transcendent.

It's just that I never thought that after Li Daoxing hibernated for a year, he began to kill. If it's just a killing spree, Dow can still use the anger of the barbarians to fish in troubled waters.

It's a pity, Li Daoxing kills people and kills, and when it is time to buy, his shots are never shabby. Up to the royal Shu brocade, down to Taigu Mai, as long as the cave master is willing to submit, Bao Jun is satisfied.

If that's it, Dow will play tricks and sow discord from it, and he will still be able to eat meat and drink soup.

But who would have thought that Li Daoxing would open the map and do it, saying that he was going to repair the embankment of the Xidao River, and then he didn't care whether he was convinced or not, and he was stuffed on the construction site in one go.

If this is the case, Tao will encourage it, and the conscience of the Tang Dynasty will be greatly damaged, and the barbarians who work as coolies on the construction site may also make trouble.

But who would have thought that Li Daoxing directly brought more than 200 boats, which were full of bundled new rice, the kind that had not yet been threshed and peeled. Then let go, work hard, and the grain is dripping!

Tao gave up treatment, and the entire Jiaozhou Tao clan was killed by Li Daoxing.

Anyway, outsiders think like this, but who knows, in fact, Li Daoxing, the governor of Jiaozhou, he doesn't even go to work. From the adjutant to the staff, all they want is his seal.

When he accepted Li Jingren as his son, Li Daoxing almost sold his ass to a certain Jiangnan dog.

And Lao Zhang did not disappoint Li Daoxing, not only fished him out of the abyss of cutting the knight, but now he has also become a famous officialdom "rookie" in the Tang Empire, the kind that can no longer be shown.

Changzhou Dow saw that all the old family members of his mother were dead, and I should have three rooms.

Don't say anything sad or not, they are all separated, what else is there to say, Dingtian is a "five hundred years ago was a family".

Besides, Sanfang was reduced to Changzhou to intermarry with the barbarians, is this their own unique taste and hobbies?

Therefore, when Tao Bai heard that the governor of Jiaozhou had killed his own clansmen, there were only three words that popped out of his head: kill well.

Then it was "Captain, go this way." and "Sir, this-ay!" Tao Bai is a rather upright leader of the way.

And his wife, is grateful for everything he has done for it. In short, Tao Bai was on the side of his wife and wife, and he sold miserably throughout the whole process, crying all kinds of things. For the old man who "longs deeply" in the Central Plains, as the lord of a village, he expressed the noble sentiment of his son-in-law, which is really touching.

The old man saw that his son-in-law was so "humiliated" for the sake of the "family"; For his wife, he was even more "burden-bearing", with a hot head and a hot brain, he also lowered Li Daoxing's governor.

At that time, Li Daoxing, who was still eating cold noodles in the Governor's Mansion, looked confused, the credit of lying in the groove came quickly, and there was a handsome hand attached to it casually, and the gold content was not as good as that of the Huns and Turks, but in the end it was also face.

The emperor is good at this.

As the saying goes, traitors are more ruthless than enemies.

For the Tao family of Changzhou Geography Gate Qing, as well as the wife family who changed their surname to "Chang", they quickly led the way for the Tang Army. For example, in the cave villages on flat land and highlands, in less than half a year, "suppressing and appeasing at the same time", all of them were dry.

Militarily, the Tang Army's combat power performance exceeded Tao Bai's imagination. Dow's consistent impression of the Tang Army is still in the state of the former Sui, thinking that it is the ceiling.

The old man who changed his surname to "Chang" said that no matter how strong the Tang Army is, can it still be a hundred? Tao Bai thought the same way, until he saw a brigade of Tang troops killed 10,000 allied troops west of the Xidao River in Changzhou.

Really one is a hundred!

Others don't know, anyway, Tao Bai's father-in-law, Chang Hai, secretly told his son-in-law that he was really scared.

Even if there is enough water in the 10,000 coalition troops, even if there are only 20% of the regular soldiers, this is still 2,000 people. There are 8,000 minions, even if it's a pig, it will take some time to catch it, right?

But the Tang army of one brigade really killed 10,000 coalition troops, not only killed, but also overwhelmingly destroyed. What makes Tao Baidan even more painful is that even if he escapes, the deserter can't outrun the pursuer, what is this? The Tang Army is still stubborn.

In fact, in the pursuit of the Tang Army, a large number of small boats were used, and as long as there was wind, the speed was extremely fast. And because the draft is very shallow, not even a foot, so it is basically a ditch can be floated, and if it can't be floated, it is a matter of a bamboo pole.

A small group of Tang troops attacked, and the smallest unit was a duo, each with a bow and crossbow, plus a "boat operator", and three soldiers could go out to "catch ducks".

The highest record is that three people captured 1,166 people, and jokingly drove more than 1,000 people to Wenyang County, the seat of Changzhou, like ropes and vines.

Because Changzhou was still a feudal state at that time, the result came out like this, and Changzhou's governor Chang Hai, that is, Tao Bai's father-in-law, directly said that whoever wants to say that the old man is the governor, and the old man is in a hurry.

As for the people of all ethnic groups in Wenyang County, after seeing the appearance of the three Tang soldiers "chasing ducks", they were stunned, and immediately shouted "Elder, receive the supernatural powers" while brushing "666......

After learning about it, I learned that more than half of the 1,166 captives had already wanted to surrender. Drinking the same river water, why should the villagers who built the river embankment eat rice, and Lao Tzu can only eat bran? That's still making a fuss, the Tang Dynasty is in charge of rice.

In the past few years, there have been fewer and fewer barbarians who have "surrendered and rebelled" in Chengdong and Chengzhai, and in the past two years, the main business of the organized "rebel forces" has not been to attack the county town and sabotage the production activities of the broad masses of the people, but to plunder merchant and passenger ships......

The "anti-thieves" on the ground in Jiaozhou have been reduced to "water thieves", which can write a long book, and the mental journey of the anti-thieves alone is very complicated to think about.

However, unlike in the past, for landed households and outsiders, it would be good if you were an "anti-thief", maybe Lao Tzu would still "raise his own self-respect", after all, the money that the "anti-thief" wanted was the state. But if you become a "water thief", it will be different, the money that the "water thief" wants, then it is Lao Tzu's own.

As a result, the "water thieves" found that the days after changing careers were actually more difficult than before. In the past, what I had to face was only the Tang Army, and at most some "chengguan".

Well, now the organized "joint defense forces" and "militias" are much more ruthless than the regular army.

In the entire lower reaches of the Xidao River, especially in this section of the Zhu Yuan River, the number of employed "security personnel" alone exceeded 3,000.

Chang Hai, the former governor of Changzhou, said that if the old man had these 3,000 people, Lao Tzu would not be called Chang Hai, Lao Tzu would be called Nan Batian!

After several pursuits, encirclements, and suppression, and in the past few years, river embankments and ditches have been being rectified and repaired, and the conditions for inland waterway navigation have been greatly improved, and the largest group of "water thieves" in the lower reaches of the Xidao River is left with the gang headed by the bandit leader "Niu Er."

The Tang army encircled and suppressed several times, but the "bull's ears" used the woods and swamps to escape.

And this time, the main force of encirclement and suppression was replaced by the locals of Wenyang County, and the group of "Niu Er" was surrounded in a semi-swampy forest. The one who personally led the way for the "joint defense team" was Tao Bai, the head of the Changzhou Tao family.

Zhang Chengfei, the town general of Taiping Town, Changzhou, personally led the team, holding a crossbow and carrying a bow, and without saying a word, he shot an arrow at the forest first.

It's just that what I never expected was that "Niu Ear" originally wanted to see the direction of the wind, and if it really didn't work, he would surrender directly. But as soon as I poked my head, I listened to the "boom", and an arrow came over, if it wasn't for the fast flashing of the head, I am afraid that it would not be a direct headshot.

But Zhang Cheng was strong with a strong bow and arrow, so he wiped it, and most of the "cow ears" were taken away, and the flesh and blood were shattered into mist, so he listened to the screams of the "cow ears" again and again.

Tao Bai understood the Annan dialect, and when he heard the movement, he hurriedly said to Zhang Chengqi: "Taiwei, the thief has been hit by an arrow!" ”

When Zhang Chengzhi heard this, he was not afraid of whether there was fraud or not, and as soon as he greeted him, the "joint defense team" rushed forward, and the government soldiers watched the battle from behind.

thought that there would be a fight, but to Zhang Cheng's surprise, he actually shot the "cow ear".

"I really shot in the ear, you didn't take the bandit well, it's unlucky." Zhang Chengzhi sighed with emotion, "In the future, don't call it 'cow ear', now that you have been shot off one ear, there is still one left, it is better to call it 'one ear', it is easier to remember." ”

Later, regardless of whether "one ear" could understand or not, he ordered: "The good news is handed over to the Governor's Mansion, and it is said that I have fought bloodily in Taiping Town, and finally captured the leader of the water bandits in Changzhou, 'One Ear'!" ”

"Yes!"

On the side, the head of the Tao family in Changzhou looked around suspiciously, and then said secretly in his heart: Bloody battle?
