It is undeniable that with the assistance of Zou Zheguo, Chen Quanzhong could indeed be regarded as a commander who used his troops like a god. In the past month, the officers and soldiers attacked three times and were defeated by him three times in the Dabie Mountains. In Li Rufeng's view, although there were many factors for his victory, for example, the government and army only regarded them as a small group of bandits, and only sent more than a thousand troops. For example, the terrain in the Dabie Mountains is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Chen Quanzhong and his group have local people leading the way, so they are familiar with the terrain.
In short, Chen Quanzhong relied on the close geographical location and excellent command to defeat three attacks by the government troops, and in the third time, they escaped like a golden cicada. They were besieged by the officers and soldiers on a cliff, and then set themselves on fire. The officers and soldiers were sitting at the foot of the mountain, waiting for the victory. Unexpectedly, the wind direction suddenly changed, and the fire raged down the mountain, almost killing the officers and soldiers as well. Afterwards, the officer in charge of the suppression wrote a letter saying that the bandits had been defeated by his fire attack, and they were all killed and handed over to receive the reward.
Li Rufeng couldn't help but despise the officers and soldiers. Everyone could see that there were not many corpses on the cliff. It was obvious that Chen Quanzhong and the others had run away.
Li Rufeng followed them and fell down from the cliff with a rope. There was a platform in mid-air on the cliff. When you reached the platform, you could enter a cave. There were stairs going down from the cave to a valley. Following them was not only Li Rufeng, but also Fang Lingyan, Jing Yunpeng and Zeng Jinyi. At this time, they had walked out of the valley and were heading towards a large house in the mountains. The large house was a typical dragon-encircled house structure for local wealthy households. It was a place where they would temporarily live and rest. The fact that they had a stronghold here meant that Chen Quanzhong and his group had been operating here for many years.
After arriving in the Luobei Mountain Area, Li Rufeng realized that he had been severely tricked by Wang Yisi and his gang, and a deep sense of shame surrounded him. However, it was good to be able to see Fang Lingyan and the others - especially Fang Lingyan, under his nose, even though he was also under the nose of a group of bandits, he was still happy after all. Maybe he thought in his heart that she shouldn't be here at this time, but instead of thinking about what would happen to her alone, it would be better to see what she faced with his own eyes. At least, he could share it with her here. Thinking of this, he My heart is actually sweet.
"Brother Yunpeng, do we really want to stay with this group of people?" Zeng Jinyi asked Jing Yunpeng in a low voice, interrupting Li Rufeng's thoughts.
"Definitely not. I believe that Senior Brother Li and Senior Sister Fang will find a way."
, "Believe me so much? I can't help it." Fang Lingyan slowly approached Jing Yunpeng and poured cold water on him.
"There's nothing I can do." Li Rufeng added inappropriately.
Jing Yunpeng was disappointed and disbelieving, facing Zeng Jinyi's face that looked like she was about to cry, "You... think about it again." But it was Ling Yan who said it.
"Okay, stop bullying my little sister and tell us quickly." Fang Lingyan looked at Zeng Jinyi's pitiful look and scolded Li Rufeng.
"I heard that the day after tomorrow is the consecration ceremony of the Jade Buddha at Guanghua Temple. Chen Quanzhong decided to attend the ceremony in person. We should have the opportunity then."
"Second General, the Major General has sent you a letter." A guard from the Xinghan Army led a man dressed as an escort over and handed it to Second General Zou Zheguo.
He took the letter, scanned it briefly, nodded slightly, and walked towards Chen Quanzhong.
This Zou Zheguo was Tianwan—the son of Zou Pusheng, the military advisor of the Chen-Han regime. At that time, Zou Pusheng successively advised Xu Shouhui and Chen Youliang, and had many wonderful battles. However, after Chen Youliang was defeated and died, he felt deeply ashamed, so he changed his name to He Yeyun and traveled around the world. He also changed the name of one of his sons to Zou Zheguo and taught him the art of war. Tao Lue ordered him to find the young Chen Quanzhong to assist him in order to correct his mistakes. This person is indeed not simple, and I didn't know it before, but during several battles during the counter-encirclement and suppression campaign in the Luobei Mountains, Li Rufeng saw with his own eyes how he arranged his troops and strategized, and it was eye-opening.
At this time, everyone had entered Weilong House. Chen Quanzhong entered the upper room in the north. Zou Zhe followed him in and said happily: "Xinghan, a letter from the dog." Xinghan is the name of Chen Quanzhong.
"Oh, what are you talking about?"
"He said that the batch of tea leaves has been sent to sea."
"Okay, Saburo is really a young hero."
"The general has commended you. Sanlang also said that he has found out the news. Most of the people who came to attend the consecration of the Jade Buddha heard that the Jade Buddha is related to the Tianwan Treasure. Not only the Jinyiwei people came, but the King of Han also sent people. There is also a wealthy son named Ming Zongxia who bribed more than a dozen Jianghu forces in Jinpu Town with the intention of collaborating. "
"Is this happening? Ming Zongxia...who is he?"
"We don't know yet. Sanlang also said that he had arrived at the Sengta Temple, and there was a man and a woman with him. The man's name was Feng Yanlang, and the woman's name was Tang Sai'er. He had already found out the details of the man. He is the son of Feng Ji, the leader of Songshan Mountain."
"Oh? Haha... wouldn't that be just right. Where are they now?"
"Sanlang and the others came from Hegao Peak and followed Mingzong Xia and his group. They may be in Xuhuangchong at this time."
"Okay, tell Sanlang that you must bring Feng Yanlang and find a way to find out where Ming Zongxia came from."
"Yes, I will take care of it now," Zou Zheguo responded, but did not withdraw.
Chen Quanzhong didn't take it seriously either. He knew that the second general said he would do it right away, and he didn't mean to go now. He continued: "Second uncle, you said that the Jade Buddha consecration ceremony was held by Guanghua Temple. If it is related to Tianwan Treasure, then wouldn't Guanghua Temple also be related to Tianwan Treasure? Also, Guanghua Temple held it What does this conference have to do with the Tianwan Treasure?"
"Well, these two issues are crucial, but we don't need to know. Everything will be understood on the day of the conference."
"Well, let's go to this conference in the name of Jianghuai Escort Bureau and see what those bald donkeys are up to."
"I'll go set it up right now." Zou Zheguo retreated.
Chen Quanzhong took out the piece of cloth from "The Book of Gold and Stone" again and thought about it for a long time. I had heard of this thing before, but at that time I only knew that it was a secret about the treasure of Tianwan Kingdom. I didn't know it was true until I accidentally found it on the dead guard while robbing the tribute tea. Looking back at that time, the guard did not resist desperately at first. When he realized that he could not resist them, he still looked around, and the driver slipped away. When he was finally surrounded and annihilated, he resisted desperately. His martial arts was not weak, which impressed him deeply. Thinking about it this way, there may be something unknown behind that guard. Perhaps, the Jade Buddha consecration meeting in Guanghua Temple was simply a scam. However, since he heard that it was related to the "Golden Stone Sutra", he had to go. Only in this way could he get more information.
