Things are just like in the Water Margin, Wang Lun heard that Chao Gai and the eight people were strong in martial arts, and now they robbed Cai Jing's birthday, so he didn't dare to take them in, but he just lied and dealt with it, and didn't say anything about joining the gang, and sent Chao Gai eight people down the mountain to rest that night.

Wang Lun's plan was also seen through by Wu Yong and Lin Chong, and after Lin Chong sent the group down the mountain, Wu Yong made a plan to help Lin Chonghuo and Wang Lun.

The next time he went up the mountain, when Wang Lun said that he asked Chao Gai and others to make another plan, Lin Chong was angry and merged with Wang Lun. After some resignation, Chao Gai sat first, Wu Yong second, Gongsun Sheng third, Lin Chong fourth, Liu Tang fifth, Ruan Xiaoer sixth, Ruan Xiaowu seventh, Ruan Xiaoqi sat eighth, Shi Qian ninth, Du Qian tenth, Song Wan eleventh, and Zhu Gui sat twelfth.

The lord of Liangshan was replaced, and the minions who had already had a spirit came down the mountain to invite the new leader to go up the mountain. Chao Yong took his family up the mountain, settled the two families, and then came to the Juyi Hall.

Chao Gai and the others were discussing things, and Wu Yong saw Chao Yong coming in, and said with a smile: "Let's forget about this little Zhuge and move another chair." ”

Chao Yong saw that in the hall, it was Chao Gai in the middle of the chair, Wu Yong and other eleven people were divided into two sides, and then it was obviously not suitable to move the chair directly to Chao Gai's side, and it would undoubtedly be a ranking on both sides.

"No need, I'll just stand and listen to your uncles."

After speaking, he walked behind Chao Gai.

Chao Gai didn't know many of Chao Yong's thoughts, and said with a smile: "What Yong'er said is to let him learn more, just stand." ”

Everyone saw that Chao Gai also said this, everyone was just trying to escape from their lives at this time, and Liangshan was only a few hundred minions, and he didn't have a big career.

Wu Yong and the others were also forced to fall into the grass, and they didn't have too many plans, so they naturally couldn't see the deep meaning of Chao Yong.

However, Chao Yong saw two flaws in the matter of the birth gang before, so that everyone did not dare to underestimate his wit.

Wu Yong asked tentatively: "Just now we were discussing how to rectify the cottage and prepare to meet the enemy's officers and soldiers. What is Brother Yong'er's opinion? ”

Now Chao Yong is no longer only brave and ruthless in Chao Gai's heart, Tai'an Prefecture borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, and saw the flaws on the Huangnigang, which made Chao Gai overjoyed.

In Chao Gai's heart, Chao Yong is now also a person who has a plan like Wu Yong.

Chao Yong saw that Chao Gai also turned his head to look at himself, thought for a while, and said: "The cottage has just changed owners, and it must be people's hearts floating. In my opinion, it is not appropriate to have major changes in personnel for the time being, except for Wang Lun's henchmen. The old man of the cottage acted according to his original position, and the new leader of the mountain recruited troops and horses, and the missing soldiers and troops would be sent soon. Dozens of us came all the way to the Birthday Gang incident, and our whereabouts were difficult to hide. Within a few days, the officers and soldiers of Jeju would inevitably come to attack, and Yuncheng County was the place where the officers and soldiers of Jeju must pass through when they came to Yangsan. In my opinion, we should first send spies to Jeju and Yunseong counties to find out the reality of the officers and soldiers, and then we should make a plan to deal with it. As long as the officers and soldiers are broken for a while, we have weapons, and then the soldiers can come to block the water and cover the earth. ”

Ruan Xiaoqi clapped his hands and said: "What Brother Yong said is that the imperial court set up checkpoints in Shuibo to collect heavy taxes the previous time, and the fishermen around here will have no way to live. Waiting for the officers and soldiers to send weapons again, they killed his mother several times, so that they were so frightened that they peed their pants when they heard Liang Shan's name. ”

Wu Yong said with a smile: "What Brother Yong'er said is very true, but when I went up the mountain, I saw very few cottage weapons. The battle array is close at hand, although it is easy to break him for a while, but in order to reduce the loss of soldiers and horses, it is still necessary to step up the construction and purchase of weapons. ”

Chao Gai was also very happy when he saw that Chao Yong had won Wu Yong's praise again, and said with a smile: "This matter is easy, I will take 10,000 yuan out and go to nearby states and counties to buy weapons." ”

Ruan Xiaoqi shouted: "How can you only let my brother pay money, I will also pay 5,000 yuan." ”

Chao Gai shook his head and said, "I have a lot of wealth, and you can take it." ”

Chao Yong interjected: "The Birthday Gang is the people's fat and people's ointment squeezed by Cai Jing's son-in-law, but we take it for our own use, but the name is not righteous, and it cannot be called righteousness." We can raise the banner of Tianxingdao and eliminate harm for the people in the nearby countryside, so that we can use the Birthday Gang to arm the cottage with a justified name. First, it will strengthen the momentum of Liangshan, and secondly, it can also solve the money and food needed by Liangshan. ”

Ruan Xiaoqi only felt that Chao Yong tickled him with every word, and jumped up excitedly and said: "Okay, those landlords and rich households who harm the people should have been cut alive a long time ago, and I Ruan Xiaoqi will do their work Yama." ”

Lin Chong knew that the bottom of Liangshan was fine, and said loudly: "The cottage is newly determined, the soldiers are scarce and the food is scarce, and the troops are sent everywhere, but I am afraid that it will attract heavy troops from the imperial court to encircle and suppress it, and it will be difficult to deal with it at that time." ”

Chao Yong said with a smile: "What my brother said is that it is just the Birthday Gang incident, even if we don't go down the mountain, Jeju will send people to fight, at most, the Jeju Xiang Army will be dispatched." It is better to choose some money and grain within a radius of 100 miles in the vicinity, and start with the big families who love to oppress and oppress the good, and divide part of their money and grain with the victims, and move the rest to the mountains to recruit troops and horses, just to deal with the officers and soldiers. After a few battles of breaking the official army, we will hurt them, and then we will not rob the state and plunder the government, but only kill some big families in the countryside. If the local court plays the court, the court will only order the local army to arrest us, and those dog officials will not dare to arrest us, for their black gauze hats, they will cover up for us. ”

Wu Yong didn't think so far ahead, thought for a while, and nodded: "Brother Yong'er is thoughtful, this plan is feasible." It will take a few days for the Jeju officials and troops to send troops, so we will first choose a large household with the most serious danger to start, and raise the banner of acting for the heavens, so as to recruit troops and horses to fight against the officers and soldiers. ”

Chao Gai said: "Since the military advisor also said that it is feasible, then we will discuss and discuss, see which leaders will go down the mountain and which villages to fight." ”

As soon as the words fell, Ruan Xiaoqi said, "Little brother is willing to go down the mountain." ”

Lin Chong and Liu Tang also said that they were willing to go down the mountain.

Chao Gai said: "Then I asked Lin Chong, Liu Tang, Ruan Xiaoqi, Shi Qian, and Du Qian to take three hundred children down the mountain, and the rest of the leaders will follow me to guard the cottage." ”

Chao Yong was worried that they were not doing things well, so he hurriedly said: "This matter is my proposal, and I can't rest, I am willing to accompany the five leaders down the mountain for a while." ”

Wu Yong nodded and said: "Brother Yong'er is thoughtful, it is best to be willing to go down the mountain, and the leaders should listen to Brother Yong'er more." ”

Chao Gai also wanted Chao Yong to experience more things, so when he heard this, he said: "Then the six of you will go down the mountain, and everyone will talk about the big harms in the vicinity." ”

Zhu Guiping said that he was in charge of finding out the news, and immediately said a few places where the nearby villages were rich and unkind, and everyone discussed it, and then chose Dongma Village.

After discussion, Chao Yong said again: "This is the first battle of our Liangshan momentum, this time we must restrain our subordinates when we go down the mountain, and we must not disturb the people, which will ruin my reputation of Liangshan." ”

Chao Gai also loves to hoe the strong and help the weak the most in his life, and when he heard the words, he said: "The leaders listen to the order, and those who dare to disturb the people will be killed." ”

Liangshan's minions were originally all grass robbers who robbed houses, Du Qian and Song Wan saw that Chao Gai gave this strict order, and they also secretly had a headache, and they had to convey Chao Gai's military order to their subordinates when they went back, and the province was dragged down by them.

However, it was not their intention to disturb the people, after all, they were ordinary people before they fell into the grass. Ordinary people are good if they can eat and dress themselves, so how can there be any surplus food. It's just that there are many people and horses in the cottage, and they don't have enough property to rob, so they have to go around to borrow food rations from the people, of course, they have always only borrowed and have not paid it back, so they don't know how many people starved to death.

I don't know how expensive firewood and rice are if I don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, in the eyes of the three heroes of the Ruan family, it seems that the Liangshan strongman eats meat in large pieces and drinks wine in large bowls, so he is not happy.

But Du Qian and Song Wan knew what their family was, and every time they could see meat, it was a good thing, and if they ate meat, they had to catch up with a good deal.

In the past, Wang Lun was in charge, Du Qian and Song Wan were lowly in ability, and they were afraid of the encirclement and suppression of the officers and soldiers of the imperial court, so how could they dare to rob large households. Most of the targets are some passing merchants, but who is not careful when they go out, they loot more, and there are naturally fewer merchants at the foot of Liangshan, and their business is not good.

Five or six hundred people have to eat, and it is difficult for them, but they can't let the people of Liangshan disperse by all means. beat them to the grass, and they were registered in the imperial court, and each of them was rewarded for their arrest, and if there were fewer people, the people who cut off their heads also came.

Now Chao Gai is the big leader, and there are several skilled leaders under him. Although Du Qian and Song Wan are ranked last, they no longer have to worry about copycat money and food, and it is also a lot easier. When the officers and soldiers came to fight, there were also leaders in front of them, so they also felt in their hearts that it was not unacceptable for Liangshan to change masters.
