The prodigal son can never change his fortune!
Zhou Chuang and others finally found their way back.
"Lao Chuang, tell me what you think." After listening to the story, Zhang Sheng already had a rough guess.
"Lang Jun, when I went to Guangchang, I met the military lord on duty at Wuruan Pass a few times, and we became familiar with each other. It shouldn't be a big problem to find a chance to stay overnight for half a night. Now, brother, I will meet again Just make a trip and get to Wuruan Pass before the gate closes in the dark. Then, you will seize the gate in the middle of the night as an internal response. You rush through the pass. In this way, Wuruan Pass can be captured in one fell swoop." Zhou Chuang put his Plan and tell the truth.
This method is indeed a good one, but in this way, Zhou Chuang and others will fall into the night movement. If they do not cooperate well, their brothers will be buried in Wuruan Pass.
Zhang Sheng's mind was spinning and he was undecided.
"Lang Jun, I can be considered a sinful person. Since I met Lang Jun, although these days have been harder than before, my brother's heart is happy and contented, haha." Zhou Chuang saw Zhang Sheng's hesitant expression guessed what he was hesitating about, and he spoke out a word of relief.
"Lao Chuang, why did you think of following me at that time?" After hearing Zhou Chuang's relief, Zhang Sheng put aside his thoughts and asked.
"How do you say? At that time, your people released a certain person, and a certain person discovered that Lang Jun was different from other thieves. After the other thieves broke the fort, they burned, killed, looted, raped and looted in every possible way, but Lang Jun's people I had no intention of doing anything, so I was eager for revenge and my brain was so hot that I found a place to eat for myself in the future." Zhou Chuang tried to make the reason for following him as easy as possible.
"Haha, Lao Chuang, since you have followed me, I will have a mouthful of soup for you. From now on, we should not risk our lives unless it is absolutely necessary. We brothers should do less. The good days are still to come. We can't always We should drink soup, and those rich and powerful people should eat meat. It is better to consider this matter in the long run."
Zhang Sheng jokingly rejected Zhou Chuang's idea of walking alone.
In this battle to seize Wuruan Pass and even Guangchang, I cannot afford to lose, and I cannot lose.
Five to six thousand people consume more than 100 shi of food and grass every day. Along the way, 30% of the food and grass from the flat valley area has been consumed. If this operation fails, it will take time to go elsewhere to seize food and grass. After such a struggle, from the loss of manpower to the depletion of food and grass, it is estimated that most of the existing family wealth will be lost. This loss is unacceptable to me.
Zhang Sheng and his guards wandered among the mountains and rivers from sunrise to sunset, and a rough plan took shape in his mind.
After breakfast, a group of thieves sat together around Zhang Sheng. Within a hundred steps of them, the guards stood in a circle.
When the bandits in the mountains saw the leaders gathered together again, they followed their habit and calmed down their voices. They knew that the leaders were once again discussing important matters that would determine the fate of the valley...
"Brother, these thieves have been wandering here for a few days, and now they are gathering together to discuss matters. They must have no good intentions, and I don't know what bad things they are planning?"
Zhao Yun, who had been scolded by Zhang Sheng a few days ago, no longer spoke to Zhang Sheng in person and began to fend for himself. He looked at the ringleaders sitting in a circle from a distance and muttered angrily to his brother.
After breakfast, Zhao Feng, who accepted his younger brother's suggestion to get up and walk around for exercise, did not answer his younger brother's words, but looked at the circle of people in the center of the group of thieves, thoughtfully.
Teach children how to read every day; teach the thieves the art of war and battle formations every day; eat three meals a day; the team is well-trained and will not burn, kill or plunder easily. Moreover, as far as I know, other thieves are going from the plains to the ravines. What about the thieves in front of me? Instead, he ran out of the ravine in Puwu. Coupled with the truth mixed with the anger he reprimanded his brother a few days ago, this bandit is extraordinary, and Zhang Sheng is even more extraordinary, really extraordinary.
This is the conclusion that Zhao Feng came to after spending more than 20 days silently observing this group of thieves.
Now, they rushed to the vicinity of Puyin and hid in the mountains in batches. Scouts came out every day. What on earth did they want to do?
Zhao Feng looked at the direction of Puyin County outside the mountain and was surprised. Could it be that he was preparing to attack Puyin?
For a moment, Zhao Feng was a little confused...
The northeast corner of Guangchang County.
A courtyard covering an area of more than 100 acres is located in it, occupying nearly 20% of the land of Guangchang City. It has a three-step double-open door with red lacquer, a tall courtyard wall, and patrols wandering on the wall. Guangchang City declares the authority of the master. Occasionally, ragged pedestrians passed by and secretly glanced at the quaint word "Gaozhao" in the middle of the gate. They also looked at the servants on duty at the gate. They all sped up and left with envy in their eyes.
Anyone who has ever entered this gate knows that the Gao family's residence is very large, with a three-way, five-entry courtyard composed of a central axial symmetry. The layout is regular and orderly. Pavilions, pavilions, eaves and green tiles are intertwined, twists and turns, exquisite and elegant, yet majestic.
At this moment, the main hall of the second courtyard of the Gao family was full of guests. If you were careful and counted, you would find that the heads of several wealthy families in the city, such as the Chen family and the Zhang family, as well as the people in charge were there.
The older ones take the seat, the younger ones lower their heads, and those who are related can only stand respectfully and wait quietly.
"Everyone, the news has been confirmed. Zhang Sheng, the Puwu thief, led his team and disappeared into the mountains under Puyin City. This thief was ruthless and cruel. In March, he broke through Puwu Liu's Wubao and destroyed the entire Liu family. Men were beheaded by him, and even the children in confinement were not spared. The female family members were raped and tortured by the gangsters led by him. Later, there was internal strife between this thief and his accomplices. He only had a thousand people to annex his accomplices, and his strength was It has skyrocketed. It is said that after that battle, this thief went on a killing spree, with heads rolling in. Now, this thief has brought people to our territory, and you must be on guard to prevent us from following in the footsteps of the Liu family."
The main seat in the hall, the plain-clothed and white-haired head of the Gao family, Gao Lin, swept over everyone in the hall with a pair of seemingly kind eyes, and reminded everyone in a gentle tone.
"Mr. Gao, are you being serious? Hahahaha, Wuruan Pass and Jinpi Pass are in front, and Guangchang County is behind. Could it be that the thieves dared to invade after eating a bear? Looking at it from below, there is still a big possibility that Thief Zhang is plotting against Puyin. , at least, he doesn’t have to take risks to attack another city, haha, Mr. Chen needs to pay attention and remind the family in Puyin County in time. "
Zhang Cheng, the Zhang family member sitting in the second chair, disagreed with Gao Lin's reminder.
The heads of the other small aristocratic families sitting here couldn't help but nod in agreement when they heard what Zhang Cheng said. At the same time, with Zhang Cheng, the head of the Zhang family, taking the lead, everyone in the hall began to discuss their own ideas.
There were several young people standing respectfully at the door, listening to the discussion of several clan leaders, and they didn't know why. Only one strong young man listened to the discussion and frowned in deep thought.
If it were me, would we fight Guangchang or Puyin?
