Liu Xia felt that it was time for him to gamble again, just like the night he escaped from Lucheng alone. This time, I simply didn't do anything, and with the timing of the melee between Qi Jin and Luwei, I would take up a few cities to stand on my own!

"When the time comes, I will be the general and the lord of the city, and I will cut down the greedy city, punish the unrighteous king, both rich and poor, and other noble and low, and the cultivator will have his land, and there will be no risk of paying taxes!"

As soon as the thieves finished speaking, thousands of people in the entire fishing port fell silent at once, trying to digest this amazing information in their minds, from ancient times to the present, there are countless "thieves" all over Kyushu, but most of them have risen and fallen suddenly, but no one has ever put forward a similar program.

"Willow planters!" Suddenly, someone jumped out and pointed at him and yelled at him. He was a "division commander" whose status was second only to the thieves, and he occupied a large island to the north of the lake, with a population of thousands.

"All your sanity was lost in last year's defeat? If you can't even keep the shores of the lake, why should you take the city? At that time, I am afraid that it will attract the siege of the princes, and there will be no place to bury the dead! ”

Successive defeats and predicaments have caused the Bandit's prestige among the bandits to plummet again and again, which is why he can no longer sit idly by, and must have a victory to cement his position in Onozawa.

Liu Xia sneered: "Could it be that there is still land on the island where you are not a teacher?" It's enough to bury you, but it's enough to bury the more than 1,000 subordinates present? Shi Shuai, you are as experienced as I am, but in addition to me, who else has ever stepped into the Lucheng Palace, and who understands the situation of the princes better. I was a guest of the ladies and gentlemen, and I knew how greedy and cowardly they were, and I also hid among the people, and I knew the suffering of the common people, so I just raised my arms and exhaled after landing on the shore. The savages who can't survive will be the first to respond, chopping wood into soldiers. Unveil the pole as a flag, and then the subordinates and the countrymen ......"

The division commander was dumbfounded. His voice suddenly softened: "Then where are we going to attack?" ”

"The first attack on Yuncheng."

"What!" The division commander was shocked, "Why do you want to go to Yuncheng, we can still fight in the water and go ashore, where is Zhao Bing's opponent?" ”

"Around Onozawa, the richest is Yuncheng, where the land is one year old and two crops, and after the autumn harvest, the warehouse is full, and the corn and rice are about to overflow. Not to mention. I still have an inner response in the city, so I know the truth and the falsehood. ”

Although Zhao Wuxian's officials in charge of the people were extremely strict in their investigation and screening, there were still many cronies who had been arranged by the thieves to get involved, and from time to time some news would come out, and the thieves would be compared with each other to judge the situation in the west of Great Jersey.

"I heard that Qi and Jin fought in Yiyi, and most of Zhao Wuxian's soldiers in Yuncheng were transferred to the border of Qilu. After looting the grain in the warehouses of the villages. We can have enough troops and enough food, but this city is strong, and it may be difficult to take it, so we can't stay for a long time. Then go south to defend the country and Punandi. Raid one or two cities such as Juye, and wait for the country to be involved in the war, and can't take care of us. You can keep it for a long time. ”

Before stealing, judge the situation to decide if you can do it. for wisdom; It is holy to be able to guess the location of the property of the house; At the time of action. Take the lead, take the lead, and be brave; After the theft, the last one departed, righteously; It is benevolent to give the stolen property to his men fairly.

Wisdom, holiness, bravery, righteousness, and benevolence, this is the "way" of his willow feet!

Most people were convinced, but the commander didn't listen, he had long wanted to get out of the control of the thief, so he pulled out the short sword at his waist and looked at the people around him: "You may also be killed by an arrow under the city, if you want to go, you can go, Naigong will not accompany you to death!" Second and third sons, if you don't want to go to Yuncheng, leave with me......"

Although some of the people present were moved by the slogan that they were equal to the noble and the low, rich and poor, and the cultivator had his own land, they were jealous of the Yuncheng soldiers, and they planned to move with the wind and clouds when they heard the words.

However, before the words fell, a sharp arrow like a poisonous snake pierced the throat of the commander, and the hot blood splashed the faces of the others.

On the huge rock, willow planters held their bows with their thick and slender arms, and the bowstrings were still vibrating slightly.

"Whoever pulls the ruler in front of me, die!"

The cronies behind the thief also took bows and arrows in their hands, or put cobblestones on the leather of the sling, aiming at the commander's subordinates.

"Whoever dares to disobey the general's orders, die!"

Liu Xiajiao decisively shot the leader, suppressing a split, and the bandits present were stunned for a while, and there was a deathly silence all around, and only a few chirping of waterfowl could be heard in the distance.

"If a thief wants to grow and grow, become a thief, and achieve a great cause, he must adopt the path of a saint, otherwise, he can only become a thief of the rat generation! From Yao Shun to the present, which of the thieves has the scale and achievements I have today? With me, you will be able to re-embark and enjoy clothes and delicacies for the rest of your life. ”

He waved his hand again, and the old barn led everyone to open all the boxes that the thieves had brought, this time not grain and farm tools. After searching all the Dongyuan Island, all the money and property that could be collected were presented in front of the brigade commander, the island owner and the cave owner, and the bandit leader who pounced on the silk silk with his hands was the first to shout the name of the thief.

"Plantar! We are willing to go ashore with the general, and everyone has their land! ”

Thieves, as they always call themselves.

"Plantar!" Those landed people who fled from Lu Weisong and other countries shouted.

"Plantar!" Then there are the savages, the gangsters, and the local indigenous Yi people.

"Plantar! Sole! Sole! The shouts spread and intensified, until finally they turned into a roar. The sound was like thunder, shaking the island, like the god of thunder rolling over the dark clouds.

Thousands of voices chanted the name of the willow plant.

According to Liu Xia's idea, if this plan is successful, he can retreat into Dayozawa with the population and food, and if he advances, he can force the forces of Qilu Weijin to recruit him as a doctor and a ruler, at least so that his subordinates can survive this winter.

If the situation is better, it can even be independent of the princes!

When the time comes, he will be able to change from a thief stealing needlework to a thief stealing cities and countries!

……

In the early morning of late September, taking advantage of the night that had not yet dissipated, dozens of long boats and more than 100 small boats slowly docked, and two thousand longing black shadows staggered onto the shore of the lake more than ten miles east of Yuncheng.

The reason why Liu Xia chose Yuncheng was also helpless, because he had only robbed a few small towns near Huze in the spring and summer, and now he may not have much surplus food. Zhongdu and Kanyi have been heavily guarded recently, and only Yuncheng has relaxed due to the transfer of war. If you don't seize the opportunity to catch the wave, it will be a few days. The clever Zhao Wuxian is afraid that he will fill this loophole.

He knew it was a risk, but he didn't feed his men. How to take a city?

During the day, the thieves released spies to peep ashore, but only one person was hunted down, and the rest returned to report, saying that Yuncheng's defenses had been exhausted. This was an incredible thing two months ago, but the more this happened, the more the thief felt that something was wrong, so he deliberately left half of the people on the island, and only brought more than 3,000 to steal grain.

As soon as they landed, they were spotted by a beacon that was several feet high.

Beacon daytime cigarettes. At night, the fire was lit, and it was instantly transmitted to the next place, and the continuous beacon fires on the shore of the lake were lit up one after another, and the whereabouts of the robbers had been exposed.

One thief said in a panic: "General, we have been discovered, it is better to withdraw!" ”

"No, go deeper after extinguishing the fire."

For some reason, the thief explained: "The Zhao family is cunning. At first, I thought that the emptiness of Yuncheng was his strategy this time, but if he really wanted to lure us deeper, the beacon would not ignite. Now it shows that he didn't have a back hand, not to mention the fire burning. But none of the people left behind escaped from it, and they would definitely hold on to resist until this was changed. Waiting for reinforcements. They fled because they knew. There's no one going to help......"

After easily taking down a few empty altars, the bold and careful thieves let people stay and wait. If there was anything abnormal, black smoke was immediately lit, and the sharp weapon that Zhao Wuxian used to deal with him was used by him, and it became the best signal to retreat.

The thieves continued to lead their men inland, first through swamps, then sparse forests, and finally after harvesting, leaving only paddy fields with straw.

Relying on the benefits of Huze, Yuncheng is one of the few places in Lu country where rice is the main crop, and the group of thieves who have only eaten a full meal on Dongyuan Island this month suddenly salivated when they thought that they would be able to eat sticky yellow and white rice immediately.

When approaching the first township, the thief also met with his Neiying, and the leader was a cronie who came to Yuncheng dressed as a homeless person, and had been hiding for more than half a year.

Nei Ying said: "I heard that Zhao Xiaosikou was going to fight with the Qi people in the north, and the pavilion soldiers were sent to Xiaqiu, and even the young and strong people were also used as laborers to transport grain to the north, and only the old and weak women and children were left in the township. Fang saw the beacon and learned that the general was coming, and the pavilion chief and the lieutenant chief took people to Yuncheng, and now the surrounding townships are like a treasury with a wide open door but no one to take care of, allowing the general to take it. ”

This Nei should be cultivating the fields for the Yi Temple in Yuncheng, and he pretended to be honest, claiming that he had never killed anyone, and gradually gained trust. So in the autumn, he was promoted from a hooligan to a small peasant official, responsible for managing the displaced people who came to invest. So he was familiar with this area, and led the group of thieves along the Tu Road for a while, and then went on the path, passed by a person to the empty pavilion, and turned to the village by the roadside.

When they arrived in the township, everyone moved together, breaking in like wolves and tigers, smashing kettles and turning them upside down.

The thief looked around vigilantly, and it was not bad as Na Nei Ying said, there were not many people in the township, as if they had been relocated, because they were in a hurry, and they didn't even have time to take the food with them. On the road to Yuncheng, there are many scattered cars, carrying heavy sacks, poke it and see that it is actually white rice!

The thief was very satisfied, and the situation in front of him made him sure that this was Zhao Wuxian's mistake and not a strategy. After robbing this township, you felt that there was not much gain, so you let everyone scatter and fight elsewhere and continue to loot.

"Don't just look at what's outside, go inside and see if there's a cellar or anything like that! Be careful to loot! If you can't loot it, you'll starve tonight!" ”

They were getting farther and farther away from the shore of the lake, and they changed four or five miles one after another, until they reached the third pole of the sun.

Most of the more than two or three thousand people grabbed something and carried it on their shoulders, and some even threw away bamboo spears. From time to time on the road, I met my peers, and when I met on the left and right, we were all elated, and when I met acquaintances, I often asked each other a few words. If you grab something good, you will take it out and show it to each other proudly, and if you meet a generous person, you will say that you will invite each other to dinner when you return to the island.

The thief felt that the hour was almost up, and just as he gave an order and was about to return with everyone, smoke suddenly came out of the beacon tower by the lake!

In the blue sky, a gray-black slender solitary smoke rose vertically, encountered a crosswind in mid-air, and immediately dissipated half, and there was no more smoke afterwards, probably extinguished......

The thief knew that it was the beacon he left as a warning, and he was suddenly shocked: "It's not good, there is a trap!" ”

But it was too late, and from time to time people reported that the villages in the countryside had been attacked, and the surrounding hills and woods were suddenly full of murders, and the wilderness in the direction of the lake shore was full of smoke and dust. (To be continued......)
