On this day, Chen Haoyuan got news and heard that Hongshiling had recently done something big. A few days ago, people from Hongshiling robbed a relatively large caravan. In fact, there were not more than 200 people in Hongshiling. You know, if you dare to rob a relatively large caravan, you are pretty powerful.
Qingfeng Village has only robbed a few scattered passers-by at the foot of the mountain during this period, but not even a decent caravan. As the leader of the village, Chen Haoyuan was worried about this matter when he suddenly heard that Hongshiling had recently done something big. , Chen Haoyuan thought that Hongshiling’s luck was really good.
However, Hongshiling's good luck was about to end. Chen Haoyuan thought that since I couldn't rob the caravan, I would go directly to rob Hongshiling. After Chen Haoyuan made up his mind, he called everyone together to discuss it. Everyone felt that This was feasible, so Chen Haoyuan prepared to send Li Yong and Shi Lei to attack Hongshiling.
At night, it suddenly started to rain and the rain became heavier and heavier. The heavy rain did not stop until the next morning. Looking at this situation, Li Yong and the others could only wait for the rain to stop before setting off. The rain continued until the third day. They slowly stopped at night. Because it had just rained and the road was too slippery to walk on, Li Yong and the others waited for two more days before setting off.
Two days later, Li Yong and Shi Lei led 500 people to Hongshi Ridge. After traveling for four or five days, a group of people finally arrived at Hongshi Ridge. After arriving at Hongshi Ridge, everyone began to prepare for the attack.
Li Yong was a little worried when he looked at the Red Rock Ridge in front of him. Although there were 500 people on his side and there were only about 200 people on the Red Rock Ridge, the hillside of the Red Rock Ridge was steep and easy to defend and difficult to attack. If there really was a fight, There is really no guarantee that they can attack it.
It was now noon. Li Yong asked everyone to make a fire to cook first. After everyone had lunch, Li Yong asked everyone to rest for half a day and wait until tomorrow morning before attacking.
When everyone had breakfast the next morning, Li Yong felt that it could not be delayed any longer and ordered everyone to start attacking the stronghold. Twenty or thirty shield bearers rushed at the front, followed by others. When everyone was halfway through the charge, , but the village opposite suddenly opened its gate and surrendered. Everyone in Qingfeng Village was a little confused by this sudden change.
Shi Lei asked Li Yong whether there was a scam here, and Li Yong also thought it was better to be careful, so Li Yong sent a dozen of the more courageous people to explore the situation first, and a dozen people cautiously approached the cottage in front. , when they walked into the Hongshiling cottage, they found that the people in the cottage had already put down their weapons.
After confirming that it was safe, Li Yong led the people from Qingfeng Village into the village. Upon seeing this, Han Jie, the head of Hongshiling, and Chen Bingsheng, the second head of Hongshiling, hurried forward to pay homage to Li Yong and Shi Lei. Li Yong asked them straight to the point if they were there some time ago. Did you do something big?
Since Li Yong asked about this matter, Han Jie and Chen Bingsheng had no choice but to tell the truth. They had indeed done something big some time ago, and they had also taken the stolen goods to the nearby Wujiabao to exchange for some weapons and food.
Wujiabao is a place where stolen goods are sold to nearby bandits. They charge 40% of the goods each time. Although the fee is relatively high, only Wujiabao nearby dares to collect the bandits' things. I heard that Wujiabao is in the imperial court. There are big shots inside, otherwise I wouldn't dare to do this blatantly.
However, there was a heavy rain a few days ago. The rain was so heavy that the granary in the village collapsed. As a result, all the food in the granary was soaked and could no longer be eaten. Otherwise, the people of Hongshiling would not be able to eat it. Would surrender so easily.
After listening to the two people's answers, Li Yong felt his head was a little heavy. Qingfeng Village came to grab food this time, but in the end he didn't grab even a grain of food. However, at this point, Li Yong had no choice but to take the people from Hongshiling back. Qingfeng Village.
Li Yong and his group returned to Qingfeng Village, followed by 200 people from Hongshiling. The leader of the village, Chen Haoyuan, had a headache when he saw these people. He had asked people to grab food this time, but he didn't expect it. The problem is that not only did we not get the food, but there were two hundred more people to eat. What should we do in the future?
Han Jie and Chen Bingsheng from Hongshiling were also very depressed at this time. They thought they surrendered to Qingfeng Village because they had food to eat. Unexpectedly, Qingfeng Village did not have enough food to eat. However, since they had surrendered, it was too late to regret it now. Now, we can only take one step at a time.
In the following time, the people of Qingfeng Village continued to rob at the foot of the mountain. Chen Haoyuan hoped that they could gain something. However, Chen Haoyuan was disappointed that there was not much harvest during this period. However, the food in the village was almost exhausted. If we don't find a way to get some food, everyone will be hungry.
On this day, Fang Qi suddenly complained in front of Chen Haoyuan that he thought he could not bring so much money with him when the rebels broke out, but now he no longer wants it.
Fang Qi's inadvertent words reminded Chen Haoyuan. Chen Haoyuan thought right. Didn't everyone bury a small box of jewelry when they broke out? Now if it could be dug out, wouldn't there be money to spend? Thinking of this, Chen Haoyuan called everyone to discuss it together.
After discussing together, everyone felt that this matter was feasible. If the previously buried jewelry could really be brought back, then the food shortage in the village would be solved. Then everyone began to discuss who would be better off this time.
On this day, Chen Haoyuan left the village to go to Jiangyan County, the capital of Lingzhou. Four people traveling with him were Guo Huaiyi, Shi Lei, Chen Bingsheng and Tang Fei. Chen Haoyuan and Guo Huaiyi were sitting on the carriage, and the other three were riding horses, a group of five people. After traveling for more than ten days, we finally arrived at Jiangyan County.
After arriving in Jiangyan County, Chen Haoyuan found that there were still wanted orders for important figures of the rebels in the city, including Li Yong, one of the four generals of the rebels. There were now a lot fewer wanted orders in the city.
This is why Chen Haoyuan did not bring Li Yong with him when he went out this time. Also, although Gu Ping, a former rebel general, was not on the wanted list, Chen Haoyuan did not bring him with him this time to be on the safe side.
Chen Haoyuan also saw people from the Datong Sect preaching. Chen Haoyuan had heard of some of the Datong Sect before. Its sect was mainly prevalent in Yuanzhou, Chenzhou and Binzhou. There were not many Datong Sect activities in other areas.
The person who is called the messenger of Datong Sect is preaching to everyone, and there are many onlookers around. Chen Haoyuan said something to the people around him, "Everyone is for the common good, the world is unified, and the world is unified." We are all brothers..." and other words like that,
After the messenger finished speaking, he asked everyone to donate money. He also said that if you donate money, you can receive blessings from the Heavenly Master. You can donate any amount. Of course, the more you donate, the more blessings you will receive. If you don’t donate money, it doesn’t matter. Make a good relationship.
Finally, the messenger also said to the people around him: Datongjiao will not take any of the money they donated, and will use it to help the poor. After the messenger finished speaking, many people around him actually donated money. , some people even donated dozens of taels of silver at once.
Chen Haoyuan felt that these were lies, but he had to say that Datongjiao had indeed helped some poor people. Datongjiao had helped when Lingzhou was hit by the disaster, but as they said, they would use all the money donated to help the poor. Chen Haoyuan wouldn't believe it anyway.
Shi Lei and the others may not be very interested in the Datong Cult. These guys are bandits, and they want them to donate money to the Datong Cult. The Datong Cult is just fine enough to donate money to them.
It was already evening, and Chen Haoyuan and his party first found an inn in the city to stay.
