12. Brothers of the same heart
You must know that although these five strongest forces account for sixty percent of the situation in Huanglong Mansion, those small gangs are not easy to mess with, often only more than ten people, or even dozens of people, come and go like the wind, and it is extremely difficult to control. With these twenty-two small gangs and forces, Qiao Ning's control of the Huanglong Mansion can be increased by at least half of it.
But then, the other two leaders went to deal with the Black Wind Bandits of the Bohai people and a bandit of the Turks, but it was quite unpleasant.
The black wind thieves of the Bohai people actually found the traitor, and fought viciously with the men and horses brought by Xu Jinghai, the third leader of Qiaojiazhai, although Xu Jinghai only took half an hour to defeat the black wind thieves, and ambushed seventy or eighty percent of the remaining forces, but after all, the leader of the black wind thieves escaped.
As for the bandits of the Turks, because of a little accident, before Qiao Ning came, they went out to plunder, although the lair was served by the four leaders sent out by Qiao Ning, but they did not get any benefits, only robbed some food.
Although this time's Huanglong Mansion strategy was not perfect, Qiao Ning was still quite happy, after all, these omissions did not affect the overall situation, and the current Huanglong Mansion could be said to have fallen into the hands of Qiaojiazhai.
Qiao Ning didn't stop doing anything, and immediately issued a series of orders, gathered the five forces that had been surrendered, and carried out a sweep of the Huanglong Mansion for more than a month.
Until the boundary of thousands of miles is cleared, only his power remains. Only then did he select the most light and fierce warriors among all the forces in ambush and incorporated them into Huojiazhai's army.
After this adaptation, the 500 men he attacked from Qiaojiazhai swelled to as many as 7,000 people, and the number of war horses he collected reached more than 2,000, and there were countless grains, gold, silver, and goods.
Qiaojiazhai's power not only controlled the Huanglong Mansion, but also radiated to the surrounding thousands of miles, and it became one of the few powerful in the Liao State.
After the expansion of the Qiao family army under Qiao Ning, they trained on the spot for three months, and in addition to drills, they also repeatedly attacked, sweeping all the villages near Huanglong Mansion, and they were strong.
First, he used this to loot property, grain and grass, and secondly, he also wanted to use actual combat to straighten out this army.
The Liao and Song dynasties never expected that such a force would emerge at the junction of the two countries, and they couldn't react for a while, and when the two countries transmitted the information to the center and sent troops and horses to encircle and suppress it, they couldn't find this army that suddenly appeared.
Qiao Ning left the three leaders Xu Jinghai in Huanglong Mansion to rectify the local gang and powerful forces, but he brought a large team of people and rushed back to Qiaojiazhai.
This time, Qiao Ning looted countless grains, grass and property, because of the sweeping of the surrounding villages and powerful forces, the Qiao family army was nearly doubled, and the soldiers and horses of Qiao Jia Village swelled to 15,000.
He attacked Huanglong Mansion this time, he had already calculated, and now that he has completed the plan, he will no longer stay, arrange the affairs of Qiaojiazhai, continue to recuperate, accumulate strength, and return to the Great Song Dynasty alone.
Soon after Qiao Ning returned to the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, he contacted the disciples of the beggar gang and learned that his "younger brother" Qiao Feng had sent a message asking him to go to Luoyang to meet, and there was a big matter to do.
Qiao Ning didn't know what Qiao Feng was going to do, but he still hurried up, and arrived in Luoyang City in one day.
The beggars have disciples all over the world, and when he entered Luoyang City, someone informed Qiao Feng, and without turning his heels, he saw a big man from Angzang, striding straight on the streets of Luoyang City, and shouting with joy on his face from a distance: "Big brother! You went to Xixia, and there was no news for half a year, which makes me miss it so much." ”
Qiao Ning laughed and said, "I secretly found a place and practiced martial arts for a while, and now I feel that I have made a lot of progress, can the second brother try his skills with me?"
Qiao Feng was overjoyed, but he didn't immediately pull Qiao Ning to the martial arts competition, but shouted: "Our brothers haven't seen each other for a long time, let's go drink first, stay drunk, and then go to find a place to compete in martial arts, and see who is more powerful in entering the country." ”
Qiao Ning knew that Qiao Feng was good at wine, although he didn't like the contents of this cup, but he couldn't bear his brother's enthusiasm, so he was pulled by Qiao Feng to a restaurant on the street, threw down a bag of money, and ordered the store to bring up ten jars of good wine.
This jar of wine is two catties, the boss of the restaurant, the guests are stunned, ordinary people can not drink even half a jar of wine, these two big men are as straight as drinking water, drink so refreshing, quite shocking.
Qiao Ning wiped the wine stains from the corners of his mouth, and then asked, "Second brother, why is he in a hurry to call me to help?"
Qiao Feng sighed and said, "Big brother should know the Murong family, their family is known for 'giving back to the other in the way of the other', and it is said that they are proficient in any martial arts in the world. Now there is a big incident in the Murong family, someone broke into the Zhuangzi of the Murong family, killed one of the four generals of the Murong family, and the martial arts used by the murderer were quite close to Shaolin all the way, so he went to the Shaolin Temple and asked the abbot master to hand over the murderer. ”
Qiao Ning smiled slightly, at that time, he was killing people in the Huanshi Water Pavilion, and he didn't pay attention to who he killed, and thought that they were all nobodies, but he didn't expect that among the people he killed, there was actually one of the four great generals.
He asked casually, "Did the second brother take this matter over?"
Qiao Feng said with a sad brow: "Our brother was born in Shaolin, and the beggar gang disciples are all over the world, and it is easy to find clues, so I can't shirk it, but I tried my best and couldn't find any clues, so I wanted to ask my eldest brother for a plan." ”
Qiao Ning asked a few words casually, and his heart was slightly curious, and he secretly wondered: "Why didn't the Murong family mention the matter of Mrs. Murong being robbed? Yes, it must be because they were worried that such rumors would affect the reputation of the Murong family and ruin the prestige accumulated by Murong Bo for several generations, so they refused to mention it, and only talked about the incident of being killed." ”
Qiao Feng slapped open another jar of fine wine, took a big sip, and said a little unhappily: "The Murong family is quite domineering, saying that if the Shaolin beggar gang does not give an explanation, they will be called Shaolin." The abbot also urged me to catch this thief quickly, I have been thinking about this matter for the past few days, what does the eldest brother think?"
Qiao Ning laughed and said, "This matter is easy, who is in charge of this matter in the Murong family? ”
Qiao Ning didn't believe that the Murong family had the ability to fight Shaolin, if Murong Bo was still "alive" and didn't fake his death and get out, this old fox would have the strength to overthrow the Shaolin Temple, but now there is only one Murong Fu in the Murong family, and Murong Fu's martial arts are still under Duan Yanqing, but it is enough to fight with several senior monks of the Shaolin Xuanzi generation, but it is definitely not the opponent of the abbot of Xuanci.
