Jie Wen Dongyuan was patrolling the stronghold. He was suddenly summoned and did not dare to neglect. Come to the temple quickly
He is an ordinary man of medium build, and his temperament and appearance are no different from those of an ordinary wealthy farmer. Unlike many of his companions, he is not "hanging up" with a gangster spirit. He was born as an Orion, never went to school, and was illiterate, but he had developed a good physique from childhood. In the bandit den of Chaoshan Village, he started as a gangster and climbed up to the position of second shopkeeper step by step.
Perhaps it was because of his great ability, or perhaps because he was good at winning people's hearts, which aroused the suspicion of the big shopkeeper. So a fire in Chaoshan Village inevitably happened. Jiewendong, who was originally weak, recruited Yang Juren to help him and killed the big shopkeeper.
Although he killed the big shopkeeper, he is still not the boss. Yang Juren became his new master. He was convinced of Yang Juren because Yang Jinghui was a Juren—in a place like Guangning, the Juren Master was a figure who could be treated as equal to the county magistrate, and a character that no one in the county could afford to offend. Not only do the official forces respect him, but they, the great gods, still dare not provoke him.
Although he was encouraged, his situation was not much better. Although Yang Jinghui seemed to think highly of him, and not only rewarded him heavily after taking Chaoshan stronghold, but also appointed him as the "knowledge" of Chaoshan stronghold, but he knew that Yang Juren did not trust him. This forced Jie Wendong to be cautious, for fear of arousing the suspicion of the Juren master.
Compared to Yang Juren, he felt that the new Mr. Zhan was more approachable. Although Master Zhan's reputation is terrifying, he treats others more kindly and sincerely than Master Yang, and he takes more care of himself. Especially after the Yang family moved to Chaoshan village, the Yang family's suspicion of him grew stronger. He tried to mediate the situation many times and did not let the conflict break out. It also prevented him from falling into a dangerous situation.
Jie Wendong is a smart man. Although he is an Orion, he may not understand the general trend of the world. He can still see clearly the situation of one prefecture and one county: no matter whether the Yang family is suspicious of him or not, we can only overcome this crisis by working together.
They captured Leidapo, and it was Zhan Zhekun who suggested that he go to Leida Village to become the commander of the village. Although he could only take half of his old brothers with him after leaving his hometown, at least he no longer had to walk on thin ice in Chaoshan Village under the watchful eyes of a group of Yang family members. So I am very grateful to Zhan Zhekun.
"I've seen the master! I've seen the master Zhan!" Jie Wendong saluted and stood with his hands lowered, as if he was respectfully waiting for orders.
"No need to be polite, please sit down and discuss the matter!"
"I don't dare," Jie Wendong looked frightened, "There is no small seat in front of the master."
If in the past, Jie Wendong had been so polite, Yang Jinghui would have given up. According to him, just saying please sit down is enough to give him face - after all, he is just a rough guy. However, today Yang Jinghui listened to Zhan Zhekun and deliberately wanted to win over him. Then he insisted: "You are the commander of this village. The safety of this village depends on you. Don't underestimate yourself. Please sit down."
Jie Wendong was a little surprised, but not surprised. Immediately I thanked him and sat down sideways.
Yang Jinghui exchanged some polite words with him and then asked about the fortification situation of Leidapo.
Although Lei Dapo had never been to the village before, he knew that the village had only been around for a short period of time, but he had already explored the whole place. This is the habit of being a bandit for many years. Not only do you need to know where the enemy will attack from, but you also need to know where to escape when in danger.
He walked around Leidapo for a few times and felt that it was a really good place. Although the place was smaller than Chaoshan Village, the conditions were several times better. In particular, the mountains have abundant water resources and large areas of flat land, which can cultivate hundreds of acres of fields. Fruit trees and tea trees can also be planted on other slopes. A few hundred people are enough to support themselves. Moreover, the terrain here is much more difficult and dangerous than that of Chaoshan Village. The three gaps leading up the mountain can be defended without investing too much manpower in repairing the city walls - compared to the wall built more than ten miles before and after Chaoshan Village. Xin Laonan originally built only three village gates. Not long ago, they captured Leidapo. Without Master Zhan's internal and external strategy, Master Yang's team would not have been able to get in.
"...This is really a geomantic treasure land!" Jie Wendong said, "It goes without saying that it is steep. I have explored the entire village and found that there are only three roads up the mountain here."
The most commonly used and best way to walk is naturally Feng Haijiao's Huangdangou. The mountain is relatively flat, but when you reach the bottom of the mountain, you will reach the Daximen.
The road from Huangdangou stopped abruptly here, and the originally gentle mountain suddenly appeared a cliff with a height of seven to eight feet. The Great West Gate is on the cliff at the bottom of the mountain bend. To enter, you have to zigzag along the zigzag stone road on the cliff. Not only is the road difficult and dangerous, but the entire journey is within the range of bows and arrows and muskets at both ends of the mountain bend. In addition, there are rolling logs and rocks on the village gate. , the difficulty of attacking it can be imagined.
Even if the Great West Gate can be breached, there is another three miles of steep mountain road going up along the Great West Gate, and there is a stone gate blocking the way. After passing the second stone gate and going up, you can reach the main entrance of Leida Village. It is the right way in and out of the village.
The other two are much more difficult, one of which is Donglaimen on the east side of the village. This stone gate stands on a ridge. The road zigzagged down the ridge. There are cliffs on both sides of the ridge, and the road can only accommodate two people walking side by side.
The third road is in the north, not far from Donglai Gate. People in the village call it Xiaobei Gate. The reason why it is called "small" is because this gate is rarely used. Jie Wendong once went to see it in person under the guidance of an old man from the village. It was a stone path dug out of the cliff. Although there is only less than a mile of mountain road, which is much closer than the Daximen and Donglaimen, the stone mountain road on the cliff is almost vertical. Whether going up or down the mountain, you have to use your hands and feet. If you are not careful, you may fall off the cliff and die. . Even if there is no one guarding, as long as there is no door waiting for you, you can't get in even if you climb the hill to the door, so almost no one walks on weekdays.
"No wonder Xin Laonan hasn't been able to unite his troops for so many years. Just relying on a few dozen of him can secure the defense." Yang Jinghui said, "Without Mr. Zhan's clever plan this time, we really wouldn't have been able to win."
"Although Xin Laonan is old and confused, in the final analysis he is still guilty of greed." Zhan Zhekun smiled, "If he were not greedy for money, how could we earn it with a few boxes of soft goods?"
"It was also General Jiejie who bravely took the lead and cut through the barriers to seize the door. Only then can we occupy this Feng Shui treasure land." Yang Jinghui praised with a smile.
Jie Wendong quickly stood up and crossed his hands and said, "My master's words are serious."
Zhan Zhekun waved his hand for him to sit down and said: "We are not the only ones who have taken a fancy to this feng shui treasure land."
Yang Jinghui naturally understood what he meant. Only he and Zhan Zhekun in Zhuangzi knew about the matter of luring Feng Haijiao up the mountain and annexing his people, horses and property. Xiewendong is not clear.
Sure enough, Jie Wendong looked confused and said, "Could it be that the Kun thieves want to attack here?"
"The female county magistrate of Kun Thief is too busy dealing with big families to deal with us." Zhan Zhekun said leisurely, "It's Feng Haijiao."
"Is it him?!" Jie Wendong's mind was spinning like a windmill. He had heard from Zhan Zhekun and others about Feng Haijiao and others. This can be regarded as their "ally" in Yangshan, the local hegemon. The current situation in Yangshan is not good. It should be said that Feng Haijiao took refuge in the mountain to avoid the limelight.
However, Zhan Zhekun's meaningful words and Yang Juren's vague smile made him realize that there was something special about it. Could it be...
Jie Wendong didn't dare to act stupid or appear too smart, so he followed the words and said, "Could it be that Feng Haijiao also wants to occupy this Leida Slope?"
"Exactly." Zhan Zhekun said sternly, "Once Sun Dabiao dies, he will no longer be able to stand in Qinglianwei. He must change his place. Where is the most suitable place to settle in Yangshan? Naturally it is this."
"The younger one went to make arrangements immediately and asked the brothers to prepare more rolling logs and stones to give them a full meal!" Jie Wendong suddenly stood up and made a gesture to go out.
"There's no need to worry." Zhan Zhekun smiled and waved his hand, "Why is this necessary? Now that he's here, we not only have to open the village gate to welcome him in, but you also have to send some brothers down the mountain to help him pack all the luggage. Move it up.”
Jie Wendong pretended to suddenly realize: "It turns out that Master is trying to catch a turtle in an urn!"
"Well said!" Yang Jinghui clapped his hands and laughed, "I didn't expect you, a rough man, to be able to use a few idioms."
"Master, it's funny." Xie Wendong said with a smile.
"It's always a good idea to dissolve the group. Feng Haijiao doesn't know the situation on the mountain yet, and he has the idea of occupying the magpie's nest." Zhan Zhekun said, twirling his beard, "He also wants to swallow Xin Laonan's inheritance. Let's Just use this as bait to catch turtles in an urn!"
"It's indeed a brilliant idea."
Zhan Zhekun was quite proud. This strategy has been set since Bi Xuansheng came to him. These days, Feng Haijiao has been collecting food and wages in Yangshan, and his strength has been expanding rapidly, but he still has no intention of dealing with the Kun thieves. He only cared about getting rich and grabbing territory, but he never sent troops to attack the Kun bandits.
After the fire in Dawangwei, the situation in the county was very good for a time. Zhan Zhekun traveled in many directions and sent people to Qinglianwei several times to persuade Feng Haijiao to send troops and attack the county together with Sun Dabiao. However, Feng Haijiao always responded to the incident and only sent a pair of people to plunder the surroundings of the county. As soon as the thieves left the city, he retreated. Sun Dabiao was so angry that he jumped up and down.
Zhan Zhekun knew that he was a slippery bachelor, and it was useless to push him. If he got anxious, he might bite him back, so he could only bear it. This time he used a little trick to lure this stick into a trap.
Feng Haijiao has been a bandit for many years, so his family must be rich. By annexing his men, horses, and money, Yang Juren's strength can reach a higher level - naturally, the color of Yang Jiajun will also be a little lighter.
He looked at Jie Wendong, who was listening attentively, and whispered: "Feng Haijiao will be able to go up the mountain at noon the day after tomorrow. You go and make arrangements..."
