Chapter 83 Liu Gao accidentally enters Qingfeng Mountain (35)
Erlongshan Branch was officially established.
The leader of the village is "Vajra Master" Lu Zhishen, the chiefs are "Xu Ri Shu" Zhang San, "Winged Fire Snake" Li Si, and 500 minions.
As the tide rises, so too does the nickname.
Street rats and grass snakes are now a thing of the past.
Since following Lu Zhishen up the mountain, the six brothers Zhang San, Li Si and Li Si have made some progress in refining their essence. Coupled with their quick minds, they already have the strength to be selected as "Earthly Fiends".
If there is no large army coming to suppress us, this kind of combat power is quite good.
It is enough to deal with Huang Xin, the "Zhen Sanshan".
But Cao Jie was not satisfied with this.
Now the Liangshan headquarters has enough talents. Lin Chong alone is enough to meet the needs of training soldiers and train Song Wan, Du Qian and others.
Yinmachuan is Liangshan’s bridgehead in Liao State, so its combat capability cannot be reduced, and people must even continue to be sent there.
Now that we are developing the Three Mountains of Qingzhou, I can't help but feel that I don't have enough talented people under my command.
After we destroy Qingfeng Mountain in the future, we will need to send two or three leaders there. We are really stretched to the limit and it seems that no one is available.
"One is Dengzhou, the other is Jieyang. We need to go there. If it's urgent, we can ask Chao Gai to go up the mountain and take over first!"
When thinking of Chao Gai, Cao Jie thought of the birthday gift.
"The Cloud Dragon Gongsun Sheng and the Red-haired Ghost Liu Tang should be arriving in Yuncheng soon!"
Knowing in advance that it was Yang Zhi who would escort the birthday gift, Cao Jie, in order to avoid suspicion, handed over the task of seizing the birthday gift to Wu Yong, and pretended to be ignorant of it.
Otherwise, when we work together in the future and eat from the same bowl, how can we convince each other?
Cao Jie is not Song Jiang, who killed an entire family and yet still treated others as brothers. He is not afraid of being chopped off by a drunken man.
"I, Cao Jie, have decided to take over this brave general, Yang Zhi. Even the emperor can't do anything about it."
As for Wu Yong playing the villain, this is his job after all. If he doesn't play the villain, who will?
When they returned to Qingfeng Village from Erlong Mountain, most of the food and fodder had been collected, enough for the soldiers to go into battle.
With food and wages, there is combat effectiveness.
Without food and money, even dogs will fight to the death. Even if they are led by a brave general, they will all flee when they reach the foot of Qingfeng Mountain.
"Master Zhizhai."
Liu Gao, dressed in Confucian clothes, flattered Wu Song and said, "Can I take back my 300 dan of grain? Don't worry, sir, I will do it quietly at night and will never let anyone know."
Wu Song looked at him coldly.
When this man's face turned cold, it was so murderous that it made people's hearts beat wildly.
Liu Gao's mouth twitched: "Of course, yours will be included. One hundred and fifty stones of it will be converted into silver and sent to your residence."
Wu Song narrowed his eyes, and his murderous intent became stronger.
Liu Gao panicked and bowed, saying, "It's my fault. These three hundred stones belong to you."
"Eight hundred shi of grain, not a single grain can be missing. If it is not delivered on time, Mr. Wang will have to wait!"
Wu Song laughed, this feeling of bullying the landlords and local tyrants is so damn cool!
"This..." Liu Gao was dumbfounded and said anxiously: "Sir, we agreed on this before!"
"What did I, Wu Song, say? Is there a third party to guarantee it? Is there a written agreement or a signature? If you are talking nonsense, do you believe that I will punish you for disturbing the morale of the army? The bandit suppression is imminent. Are you suspected of colluding with the bandits? I think we should investigate it first..."
"Master, I, Liu Gao, have absolutely no connection with bandits... I have five hundred stones left. I hope you can give me some time. I will go back and discuss this with my father-in-law..."
Liu Gao left Qingfeng Village on his short-legged horse with a bitter face, feeling extremely bitter in his heart: If it weren't for Wu Song, the village would be mine! How much money could I earn! I could get seven or eight thousand dan of grain by suppressing the bandits once, how much money is that! Two thousand guan!
My money! It's all my money!
"what!"
The short horse under Liu Gao's butt is an old horse. It is said that an old horse knows the way, and it is really true.
A few years ago, when there were no bandits in Qingfeng Mountain, it was used to walking on this road, and it was also short from Qingfeng Village to Wangjiazhuang.
Later, this road was abandoned, and no one came here except bandits. Today, Liu Gao was in a trance and did not expect that the old horse would take this old road at the fork in the road.
When Liu Gao reacted, he whipped the old horse, and the old horse felt the pain and started running all the way to the dark.
"Oh my god!"
"dying!"
"dying!"
Liu Gao was just a failed scholar, and even though he was riding a short horse, he had no strength to control himself when he went crazy, and could only run to the foot of Qingfeng Mountain shouting and screaming.
…………
But I see the Qingfeng Mountain:
It is rugged on all sides and steep on all sides.
The strange tall pines are covered with green canopies, and the branches of the old trees are hung with vines.
The waterfall is rushing, and the cold air makes the hair on your head stand on end; the clear light from the top of the cliff is so dazzling that it makes your eyes startle.
Listen to the sound of the stream and the clinking of the woodcutter's axe; listen to the towering peaks and the mournful cries of mountain birds.
Elk and foxes gathered in groups, leaping back and forth through the brambles, calling out as they searched for food in the wild.
Standing on the grassy slope, I could see no shops or inns; walking to the valley, I saw pits of corpses all around.
If it is not the place where the Buddha practices, it must be a place where robbers rob.
This is the rare ogre cave in the Water Margin world: Qingfeng Mountain!
There are three wastes in Qingfeng Mountain:
The chief of the stronghold, Yan Shun, known as the "Golden-haired Tiger", is ranked 50th. He is a strong star on the ground and serves as a small general of the cavalry and the leader of the long-range reconnaissance troops.
The second leader, "Shorty Tiger" Wang Ying, is ranked 58th. He corresponds to the Earthly Star and is the leader of the cavalry who is in charge of spying within the three armies.
The third leader, "White-Faced Young Man" Zheng Tianshou, ranks 74th. He is on the alien star and serves as an officer of the infantry.
Although they are laughed at as useless among the 108 generals, each of them is a true cannibal!
At this time, Liu Gao was captured by four or five ambushed minions, who tied him up with a hemp rope and brought him up the mountain.
Liu Gao had no strength to resist and could only complain.
There were wooden fences all around the stronghold, with a thatched hall in the middle with three tiger-skin chairs, and about a hundred thatched houses at the back.
The minions tied Liu Gao up like a rice dumpling and tied him to the general's pillar.
Several minions in the hall surrounded Liu Gao and whispered, "The king has just fallen asleep, so don't go and report it. When the king sobers up, we will go and invite him to wake up, cut open the heart and liver of the reading ox to make a sobering soup, and we will all eat a piece of fresh meat."
"We have never eaten the flesh of a scholar!"
"I wonder if eating his meat will make me smarter?"
"I think it's the president. After eating meat with the king, his strength increases by one point every day..."
"Then let's brush our brains tonight?"
"Very good!"
"Woo!"
Liu Gao had a piece of smelly rag stuffed in his mouth. When he heard these people chatting, he immediately struggled.
With a "slap", Liu Gao was slapped hard, and a slap mark immediately appeared on his fair and handsome face.
"If you move again, you will neither live nor die."
"Just wait patiently, and I'll give you a quick death when the time comes..."
"Woo!"
Liu Gao could only cry like a woman...
