Along the way, Gaokan asked Yang Zhi to buy wine and meat, and took them with the army, in order to feed and drink well to the remaining commanders and troops after they found a place to stay in Huangmen Mountain.
If these people had not been drunk, Gao Kan would not have worried about secretly meeting the men sent by Jiang Jing.
Tang Heng didn't know the key, but he was very generous along the way and treated the troops very well.
All the food and drink expenses of the whole army were borne by the same shoulders, and no one was treated badly.
In this way, everyone in the army became more and more convinced of him and were willing to obey his orders.
For this arrangement, Li Zheng was asked to invite the villagers to help. He simply made more and even invited the villagers to eat.
After working for several hours, by the time the banquet was ready, it was already sunset.
Sanlian Village is located in a remote area and is close to the bandits. The village is already very barren. The villagers have difficulty filling their stomachs three times a day. When have they seen big fish, meat, good wine and good food?
What's more, when government officials usually come, they are always cruel and oppressive. I have never heard of someone like Gaokan who came to the village and harassed the villagers with strict orders, and even took the initiative to use military expenses to treat the villagers to drink and eat meat.
Moreover, when the army was stationed and wanted to occupy civilian houses, Gaokan also specifically ordered that no matter whose house they occupied, they must give them enough money.
When officers and soldiers live in other people's houses, they must take good care of them and not damage them even a little bit.
If anyone breaks a villager's appliance, he or she will pay compensation according to the price.
Because of the strict order, the troops in the left-behind department did not dare to show off their power to the villagers. They were all very kind, which made the villagers happy.
In this way, they had only entered the village for less than half a day and were already enjoying themselves with the villagers.
During the banquet, the villagers also drank and laughed with the officers and soldiers in a lively manner, creating a harmonious scene that had never been seen before.
Gao Kan, Lin Chong, Yang Zhi, and the left-behind officers sat at a table alone, accompanied by the chief of Sanlian Village.
Lin Chong listened to Gao Kan's instructions and spent several days on the road hanging out with Tang Heng and others. Now they have become so close that they are brothers and sisters.
Even Yang Zhi, a ruthless and ungrateful person, became familiar with it.
There was no show of laughter during the dinner, and Gao Kan always agreed, but secretly he had concerns.
When everyone had finished eating and drinking, he led Yang Zhi out of the table and asked Lin Chong to take charge. They left the village and headed towards Huangmen Mountain.
Halfway through, I suddenly heard a strange sound coming from the darkness in front of me.
Yang Zhi's eyes flashed, and he stepped forward to protect Gao Kan behind him, and shouted in a cold voice: "Who is it? Come out!"
Then they saw figures shaking in the darkness, and immediately three people appeared, coming straight in front of the two of them.
When they met, they cupped their hands and said, "Sir, it's me."
Taking a closer look, who was the leader of the three if it wasn't Jiang Jing?
Gao Kan didn't expect that Jiang Jing would come down from the mountain to meet him in person, so he stepped forward and said, "Second Master, please come down from the mountain in person."
"When the young master comes, how can I not go down the mountain to greet him?" Jiang Jing said with a smile.
Gao Kan didn't say much, and took him to find a suitable place to sit down. The two people brought by Yang Zhi and Jiang Jing were separated and on guard.
After the two sat down, Gao Kan asked: "How is the situation on the mountain? Is everything okay?"
"Let the young master know that I will transport the first grain to Neihuang with the shopkeeper Tian, and the Hezhong brothers will escort the grain up the mountain. After that, they will repair the stronghold and strengthen the defense of the stronghold gate. Everything is ready."
Jiang Jing said, his eyes flashing again: "However, I heard two days ago that the Huangfu Yamen has sent troops, and they seem to have intentions towards the village. The troops have not yet reached the foot of Huangmen Mountain."
Hearing this, Gao Kan frowned slightly.
What he was most worried about was that the local government in Neihuang sent officers and soldiers to attack the Huangmen Mountain stronghold before they took action.
There are not many people and horses on the mountain. If there are too many officers and soldiers, it may be difficult to hold the mountain gate, so we have to retreat first.
In this way, the food transported up the mountain would be difficult to preserve, and all subsequent plans for Gaokan would have to be changed.
Mouse, at present, the officers and soldiers of Huangfu Yamen have only been mobilized, and they have not marched to the foot of Huangmen Mountain, nor have they directly attacked, so there is still room for turnover.
Make a careful plan. This time to suppress the bandits in Huangmen Mountain, you can only have Gaokan leaders to handle it with full authority.
If there are outsiders involved, there is a risk that the news will leak out.
After thinking for a while, Gao Kan said: "Second Head of the House, don't worry. I will personally go to the Neihuang Mansion tomorrow to explain the matter first."
"It's easy to tell if they know it well, but if they don't know it well, I'll think of a way when the time comes."
"Okay, I will obey the master's orders." Jiang Jing nodded quickly and responded.
Gao Kan turned his gaze, and then said: "In case something changes, you should go back to the mountain quickly, dispatch the brothers on the mountain, and guard against death. Once you find that the Huang officers and soldiers intend to attack the mountain, ask Master Lu to take the lead, and kill him. They were caught off guard, so Naihuang officers and soldiers knew that the mountains were powerful and did not dare to make any plans."
"Understood. I will discuss this with Master Lu after I return." Jiang Jing agreed.
At this time, Gao Kan couldn't help but feel lucky that he had asked Lu Zhishen to bring some people with Jiang Jing and went up the mountain one step ahead.
With Lu Zhishen, an invincible tiger general, on the mountain, even if there are many soldiers and soldiers in the palace, it may not necessarily be possible to get an advantage.
The key is that Lu Zhishen leads the army and can kill directly from the mountain.
If there are many officers and soldiers, he can also kill them first to scare the officers and soldiers, so that the army will not dare to act easily.
As long as Gao Kan is given two or three days, he can arrange everything.
Once preparations are complete on my side and there is a military order from Lord Liang Zhongshu of the famous government, no matter how greedy the Huang government is, they will not dare to ruin Liang Zhongshu's good deeds.
However, he still couldn't delay in getting things done, so Gao Kan thought about it and set off early tomorrow morning.
There is still quite a distance from Sanlian Village to Neihuang, so start early to get there within tomorrow.
After thinking about this, he said: "This is what happened beforehand. Second master, you guys hurry back to the mountain and ask the brothers on the mountain to get ready and wait for me to bring people here."
"I obey, villain!" Jiang Jing said, then stood up and called his men to leave quickly at night.
After the three of them left, Gao Kan turned around and said to Yang Zhi: "Let's go back too, and we have to discuss it with Coach Lin. Tomorrow morning, the rest of the people will stay in the village, and you and Tang Heng will go to Neihuang together." "
"Yes." Yang Zhi replied.
Immediately, the two of them quickly walked back.
As soon as he returned to the house, he saw Lin Chong coming through the door.
Seeing the two of them, he quickly stepped forward and asked, "How's it going? Has Young Master received someone?"
Gao Kan nodded and then said: "Coach Lin, the plan has changed. I will ask you to stay in the village tomorrow to look after the people. Coach Yang and I will ask Tang Heng to go to Neihuang with us."
Although Lin Chong didn't know what was going on, he immediately nodded in agreement.
Gao Kan asked Tang Heng and others again, as well as the situation of the officers and soldiers. He didn't feel relieved until most of the people were almost drunk and those who should be sent back to rest had been sent back. Everything was going well.
