Chapter 317: You're in an Ambush
"Damn, these bastards are actually dissatisfied with me? I led troops into Southwest Lu to help the Shandong government pacify the White Lotus Sect, do you still have opinions? What a bunch of stupid pigs!"
"Damn, the only place where you can get credit is going to be robbed by Chang Wei, this bastard, brothers speed up!" The red-faced man's scolding made Chang Wei suddenly realize. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The counties in western Luxi, such as Dongping, Liangshan, Yuncheng, and Juye, which were originally occupied by Bailian, were all recaptured by officers and soldiers under the command of Yuan Keli. Pei County, Yi County, and Xue County only maintained a small number of troop contacts and could not pose any effective threat.
The White Lotus Army of Yi County and Xue County could only plunder in the countryside, and the White Lotus Army of Pei County could only block the canal and surround the county seat, but they were unable to break through.
Now there are only three counties in southern Lunan left in the White Lotus Sect's sphere of influence: Zou County, Teng County, and Weishan. Zou County has the White Lotus Sect Leader Xu Hongru, the right prime minister Chen Canyu and the Five Elements Holy Maiden personally sit in the town, and Teng County has the deputy sect leader Fist Town Jingzhou Yu Hongzhi and the three protectors of Qinglong, White Tiger and Xuanwu.
The outer town of Nanyang was guarded by his younger brother Xu Heyu, the prime minister of the left, and Zhang Shipei, the superintendent of Caozhou, and Zhang Shipei, the governor of Caozhou, and the Taiping town, located between Tengxian and Weishan, was not only a large military camp, but also the right governor of Hebei, Liu Yongming.
These four important strongholds can be said to be invulnerable, even in the southernmost Weishan County, there are 30,000 troops and the Vermilion Bird Protector Cang Lingxuan and Yanzhou Hall Master Wu Qizhi personally guarding it.
Fortunately, the four masters of the dirty clothes faction came to the door and offered an undercover plan so that Zhao Yan, the governor of Shandong, saw the opportunity to seize Weishan County and save face. At this time, Chang Wei suddenly appeared on Weishan Lake, breaking through the siege of Loucun and Peixian in one fell swoop, so that Cang Lingxuan and others focused their attention on Nanyang Town and Weishan Lake.
How could Zhao Yan let go of such a God-given opportunity, so he immediately ordered the Dirty Clothes Sect to do it, however, before that, the Dirty Clothes Sect was found out by Chang Wei because he coveted the Zhang family's reward of 100,000 taels of silver.
It stands to reason that 100,000 taels of silver is impossible to impress a master of this level of Shan Gao Shui Yuan, but this involves the source of the beggar gang's property.
The head of the beggar gang is on Junshan Island in Dongting Lake, and the imperial court has given the beggars all the nearby 10,000 acres of water and Junshan Island.
The sudden rise of the Pure Clothes Sect changed its concept and started a business by using its own martial arts and the reputation accumulated by the beggars in the rivers and lakes for thousands of years. With a large number of people, huge resources and an excellent reputation for the beggars, the business of the Pure Clothes School is getting better and better.
Ordinary people mix martial arts account for 30%, connections account for 30%, and the remaining 40% rely on financial resources. Only with enough money can a powerful gang be established and get a good reputation, and only when the gang is outstanding can it attract outstanding talents to join, form a virtuous circle, and stand tall.
This practice of the Pure Clothes Sect was undoubtedly quite successful, and the young disciples in the gang and the outstanding talents who had just joined the Beggar Gang all joined the Pure Clothes Sect.
For example, the two of them were originally the ancient families in charge of criminal law and intelligence in the beggar gang, and when they saw that the Beggar Gang was thriving, they threw themselves into Elder He's door without hesitation.
Therefore, the strength of the Pure Clothes faction has risen sharply, and there is a great tendency to reform the beggar gang. But the beggar gang is not a gang that has only been established for more than ten years, they are an ancient gang with thousands of years of tradition, and if they want to reform, they will touch the interests of the dirty clothes faction that represents the traditional forces.
The Clean-Clothed Sect was not accustomed to the Clean-Clothed Sect's 'misdeeds' that changed its tradition, and the Clean-Clothed Sect looked down on the Clean-Clothed Sect for food with a golden bowl. After the two sides became more stalemate, the Pure Clothes faction stopped handing over the money they earned and opened a small treasury on their own.
Now the Dirty Clothes Sect can't sit still, they think that the Pure Clothes Sect relies on the beggars' signboard and reputation to make money, so how can they do it if they don't hand it over?
The filthy faction wants to earn it on its own, but unfortunately it has neither the talent nor the extra money to recruit talent. Just talk about their unkempt appearance, who is a normal person who wants to do a money-making business with them? Only that person is willing to join them to wear rotten clothes and ask for food is called Hanako? People who want to join the beggars gang are sent to clean their clothes.
The economy of this dirty clothes faction is very tight, so 100,000 taels of silver is definitely not a small amount for the four masters of the mountains and rivers......
"What do you call the military master?" Chang Wei led the way while listening to the officer's truth.
The red-faced man showed a touch of color on his face, and said in a pinch tone: "This official is Chen Xingyan, the commander of the Yanzhou Weidu. ”
"Ouch, it turned out to be Commander Chen, disrespectful and disrespectful!" Chang Wei arched his hand and said, "My lord, this Yanzhou guard is really strong and strong, and there are many people." ”
A guard has 5,000 households under its jurisdiction, and the full staffing is only 5,600 people, but where is there a full guard in the Ming Dynasty today, and a guard can have 2,000 people, which can be regarded as a commander who is shrewd and capable. In the army under Chen Xingyan, the number of soldiers exceeded 10,000 was obviously wrong, so Chang Wei asked this question.
Chen Xingyan's face turned even brighter, and he reprimanded lightly: "Don't you know? My army is formed by the six guards of southwest Lu, and it is the strongest local officer army. ”
Chang Wei was afraid of revealing his feet, so he hurriedly said: "The villain is just an errand runner, how can he know so much." ”
But he said in his heart: "What do you say about the assembly, it is clearly the remnants of the White Lotus Sect who were scattered. ”
Chen Xingyan asked, "What's your name?"
Chang Wei lied without changing his face, "Little He Wenlie." ”
Chen Wenyan waved his hand and said, "Don't be stunned, run faster! Arrive at the camp in time, and the master will reward you." ”
"Yes!" Chang Wei didn't dare to delay, beckoned his subordinates to run quickly at the front of the army, circled the valley for two or three quarters of an hour, and finally walked on the main road.
Glancing at the northwest direction, Chang Wei prayed in his heart that the White Lotus Army had all been evacuated, otherwise it would be likely to be discovered by the officers and soldiers a few miles away.
Stepping on the road, Chen Xingyan looked at the dense footsteps on the ground from south to north in surprise under the light of torches, and asked in a deep voice: "Has there been an army here?"
Chang Wei chuckled in his heart, secretly gestured back, and replied calmly: "There is a group of remnants who escaped from the barracks and entered the mountain. ”
Chen Xingyan nodded, and asked as he walked, "Captain Mountain and Captain Water weren't injured when they dealt with the White Lotus Sect, right?"
Chang Wei accompanied the smiling face and said, "No, the captain of the mountain and the captain of the water are strong in martial arts,"
Chen Xingyan suddenly shouted: "Arrest me, this group of people is a spy!"
"Lord Chen, what are you doing here?" Chang Wei asked as he beckoned Tang Jinyi and twenty or so of his men to fly back to the north. He really didn't know where he was showing his horse's feet, could it be because of the footprints on the ground?
Seeing his soldiers rushing forward, Chen Xingyan smiled and said, "What are you doing? In the past, the people who came here were called Elder Shan and Elder Shui, but I felt a little wrong when you called them captain at the beginning!"
"Hahaha, you're only finding out too late now!"
When his whereabouts were revealed, Chang Wei not only did not panic, but laughed wildly: "To tell you the truth, Chen Xingyan, you are ambushed!" (To be continued.) )
