A group of thieves and bandits have no idea about the righteousness of their family and country. All they want in their hearts is glory and wealth.
If Chao Gai, Song Jiang and others were allowed to unite their armies and capture Daming Mansion in one fell swoop, with all the troops, horses and food available, they would definitely expand their power and divide the country.
And on the other side of Hebei West Road, there was Tian Hu, the king of Jin, one of the four great bandits.
That guy is also greedy and ambitious. The Northeast is in chaos, how can he let go of the great situation in the Northwest?
At that time, they were asked to divide the northeast and northwest lines. Once the Jin army came, they surrendered to it and formed two kingdoms. Instead, they stationed troops south and attacked the Song Dynasty.
Just like the original historical process, Liu Yu, a pseudo-Qi, bowed to the Jin Kingdom externally and knelt down, but internally he suppressed and massacred the Han people and stationed troops to attack the Song Dynasty.
This time the situation develops and will become even more chaotic. Not only Liu Yu, but also "Tian Yu", "Chao Yu", "Song Yu" and so on.
In the blink of an eye, the world is in chaos!
No matter what, Gao Kan did not want to see such a situation happen. At this moment, he had to deal with Chao Gai and his party first.
Even if they can't be captured, they can at least be told to return to their lair in Liangshan as originally planned.
With his mind settled, Gao Kan said in a deep voice: "Let's not care about the affairs in the city for the time being. We must try to resolve all matters as soon as possible and then leave the city!"
"The little man over at the granary can go and talk, just leave it to me as soon as possible!" Tian Mi said immediately.
Lin Chong's eyes flashed, and he immediately said: "I went to investigate the He Gang last night and roughly figured out the details."
Hearing this, Gao Kan looked at Lin Chong and asked: "With the manpower we have at hand, can we be sure to capture Cao Tuo and control the He Gang first?"
"If it's a head-on comparison, it would be a bit difficult. The He Gang has a lot of people and the gate of the village is strong. With just these few of us, we can't kill them." Lin Chong said honestly.
"So, if there is an opportunity to do something behind the scenes, it can still be done?"
Gao Kan's eyes lit up and he asked.
Lin Chong also nodded and said: "Capture the thief first and capture the king first. The He Gang's doubters are all rogues on the streets of Daming Mansion. They have no skills and are just a ragtag group. As long as Cao Tuo is killed, the rest will be easy to take care of."
"Then let's deal with it like this. Shopkeeper Tian, you go and negotiate with the granary and ask Hong Jiang and his group to help escort it."
Gao Kan said, took out the Taiwei token from his body and handed it to him: "If you encounter the officers and soldiers for interrogation, show them the token, saying that it is for the Taiwei Mansion to transport official rations. Forgive the Daming Mansion." The officers and soldiers didn’t dare to ask any more questions.”
"In addition, if you ask someone to inform Cao Tuo, tell him that I have business to discuss with him."
"I understand, let's do it now!" Tian Mi said immediately.
When Tian Mi got up to do things, Gao Kan turned around and said to Lin Chong: "Instructor Lin, Instructor Yang and Master Lu are not here. This matter will be hard for you. You must explain everything clearly to your brothers and don't be careless."
"Don't worry, young master, I know you well." Lin Chong nodded in agreement.
With everything in place, wait for the opportunity.
Tian Mi took Gaokan's token and led the two of them out of the inn. He first found someone he knew well and went to the He Gang to make a match. When he met the person, he explained the relationship. After getting the agreement, he went to the granary to look for the person.
After finishing all the things, it was already afternoon before I returned to the inn to report to Gaokan.
"Sir, the things at the granary have been settled. When the villain delivers the money tomorrow, the grain can be transported out."
As he spoke, he paused for a moment before continuing: "Over there with the He Gang, they asked you to come to the He Gang grounds to talk tonight."
Gao Kan nodded and said, "I understand. Coach Lin and I will go there together in the evening, and you will take care of things at the granary."
"I understand." Tian Mi agreed.
In the evening, Gaokan and Linchong walked together from the inn and went straight to the river gang to meet at the dock in the city.
All the way to the He Gang territory, I saw two people guarding the gate on the left and right. They stopped people immediately when they saw them coming.
"Where did you come from and what do you want to do?"
Gao Kan took a step forward, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "You know, I am a merchant from Bianjing. I had an agreement with Leader Cao earlier to meet in the evening to discuss a business."
"Are you that tall young man from Tokyo?"
"Exactly." Gao Kan replied with a smile.
"Come with me, the stall is waiting for you, but be careful on the way and don't look around, otherwise watch your eyes. Who is this guy?" The guard asked Lin Chong while talking.
Takami quickly understood: "At this time, my friend came with me."
The guard looked at Lin Chong one more time, said nothing, and led the two of them inside.
After entering the gate, I saw a wide school field in front of me.
There was no one in the venue at this time, but there were weapon racks on the left and right, with swords, guns, swords and halberds hung on them, making it look like a martial arts arena for the River Clan.
Further inside, there is the center of the main hall, and the door is still guarded.
When they arrived at the door, the guard asked the two of them to wait outside, waiting for him to go in and report.
After a while, the person came out and said: "The stall owner wants you to go in, and everyone on you should stay outside."
"Yes, yes, I didn't bring any weapons." Gao Kan agreed with a smile.
Lin Chong also raised his arms to indicate that they had brought nothing. After the guard checked, they were allowed in.
As soon as he entered the lobby, he could smell the hot smell of wine and meat, and Gao Kan couldn't help but frown.
Vaguely, a burst of coquettish laughter and lustful sounds could also be heard.
He looked at Lin Chong calmly, and continued to follow the guard inside. It was not until he walked around the front curtain and reached the innermost place that he saw a large platform inside, with a wide wooden couch behind it.
There were three people on the couch at the moment, a middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears, an ugly face, and his bare chest.
There is a pink girl on the left and right. It's cold outside, but they don't seem to know whether it's hot or cold.
There is only a gauze red bellyband hanging on the upper body, and there is only a pair of obscene pants on the lower body.
One of the two women was holding wine, the other was holding meat, and they were serving the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man kept his hands free and kept moving his hands up and down the two of them, which made them laugh again and again. The scene was very ugly.
The guard brought Gao Kan and two people in, bowed and flattered him and said, "Big stall, people are here. Do you want to take a look?"
Hearing this, Cao Tuo's face darkened, he grabbed half of the roast chicken from the girl next to him and threw it at the guard, scolding: "You bitch, calling you a bad grandpa is asking for death, right?"
"Yes, yes, the little one deserves to die, the big stall owner needs to calm down." The guard quickly apologized and smiled.
Seeing this high-ranking person, he raised his eyebrows and took the initiative to hold his hands in front of the mountain and said: "I have long heard about the reputation of the Hebang stall owner. I have always wanted to meet him, but I never had the chance. Today I finally got my wish, but I never wanted to disturb the stall owner's good mood. , it’s really our fault.”
Hearing Gao Kan speak, Cao Tuo looked at him.
After looking up and down, he said: "You are the one Tian mentioned, what kind of bullshit is this young master?"
"Young Master Gao is me, but that bullshit Young Master Gao is not me."
Gao Kan looked calm and stared at Cao Tuo with bright eyes: "The two of us came here today to ask the stall owner to negotiate a good deal. If the stall owner is not free, let's talk about it another day."
After saying this, Gao Kan turned around and wanted to ask Lin Chong to go with him.
After walking only two steps, Cao Tuo suddenly said coldly from behind: "Come when you want, leave when you want, what kind of place do you think this place is?"
