The sky is full of stars, covering a fleet of four sailboats moving slowly on the sea.

After everyone toasted again, Gao Zhandao asked humbly: "But who does Mr. Kou think is the most qualified to aspire to the throne of emperor?"

Kou Zhong said to Xu Ziling, "Why don't you, Mr. Xu, do the talking?"

Xu Ziling shook his head and said: "Our Master Kou speaks more vividly. I also really want to hear what Master Kou has to say." Kou Zhong said, "You kid can hurt me the most."

He met everyone's eager gazes and slowly said word by word: "Whoever can win Guanzhong will become the emperor of the new dynasty."

Then leisurely and thoughtfully said: "Those who want to conquer the world without understanding the time, geography, and people are like a blind man riding a horse into the abyss at night. Chang'an is located in the Guanzhong Plain, south of the Wei River and north of the Qinling Mountains, with thousands of miles of fertile wilderness.

Surrounded by mountains, it has been an important transportation and military location since ancient times. Zhou, Qin, and Han all used it as their capitals and continued to build and expand it. Today, Chang'an has built a new city through Yang Jian. Not only is its scale the largest in the world, but it also has wide canals.

Divert the Wei River eastward to Tongguan and enter the Yellow River. In terms of transportation, Luoyang may still win by three points. But in terms of military situation, it is dwarfed. The reason why Qin Shihuang was able to unify China and wipe out all the heroes was because of the ground.

People in Wo are rich and have dangers to defend - these are the eight characters."

Niu Fengyi clapped his hands on the stage and sighed: "As a reminder to Mr. Kou, Fengyi thought of today's situation. It was similar to the situation during the Warring States Period. History kept repeating itself. This is really the best example."

Kou Zhong sighed: "The current situation is hundreds of thousands of times more chaotic than the warring states warring states."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Gao Zhandao asked: "Doesn't that mean that the Li family has the best chance of becoming the overlord of the world like Qin Shihuang?"

Kou Zhong glanced at Xu Ziling and said calmly: "If it weren't for me, Kou Zhong, this would be the case."

Gao Zhandao and others were so impressed by Kou Zhong's views that they hurriedly asked him why.

Kou Zhong cheered up and said: "The Li family has three major problems that are difficult to solve. First, he was an official of the Sui Dynasty, but the people already hated the Sui Dynasty and found it difficult to accept anyone or anything related to the Sui family. Secondly, the Li family is a famous

When a person's mind changes, this will become his burden. The third reason is that the crown prince is Li Jiancheng and not Li Shimin. If I, Kou Zhong, dare to gamble with my head as a guarantee, there will be trouble in the future."

Niu Fengyi agreed: "Master Kou must have a clear vision. Although Li Jiancheng is better than his father in martial arts and is known as the best master of the Li clan, he is not as popular as Li Shimin, and his reputation is much worse. Now that he is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, he is indeed very promising.

Question." Kou Zhong's eyes shot out with a chilling light, but his tone was surprisingly calm, and he slowly said word by word: "The Li clan is just barely able to stand firm now, and the most important problem is Li Gui and Xue who have occupied the Western Qin Dynasty.

Taking two large armies, it is said that - the Western Qin will make Guanzhong safe, and the Western Qin will lead to chaos in Guanzhong - and Qin Liang is located on a high platform to the west of the Longshan Mountains, eyeing the Guanzhong area, so the Li clan has not conquered the Western Qin for a day, and it has not been considered a real victory.

Chang'an is even less capable of taking Luoyang from the east and pacifying the world." Then he slapped his palm on the stage, causing the soup to splash and the dishes to shake. He said solemnly: "Whoever can drive away the Li clan and occupy Guanzhong will be the king.

The world."

Zha Jie scratched his head and said: "But I heard that on the way to Guanzhong, Li Clan absorbed a large number of surrendered troops from all over the country and recruited strong men. The strength of the troops was close to 300,000. In addition, with the danger of city defense, it was not easy to capture Chang'an. Xue

Didn’t you just suffer a big loss?"

Kou Zhong leaned on the back of the chair, stretched out and said: "Soldiers are more valuable than more valuable, otherwise Goryeo would have been destroyed by Yang Guang. Don't forget that I still have - Yang Gong's treasury -!"

Gao Zhandao and others were immediately moved.

Xu Ziling thought of Fu Junma and suddenly felt uncomfortable in his heart. He stood up and said, "Excuse me for being with you. I have to go into the cabin to do evening classes."

He went straight away. Kou Zhong remained silent, but his eyes flashed with sadness.

※※※

Xu Ziling stood quietly in front of the cabin window, silently looking up at the bright moon on the sea.

Kou Zhong quietly opened the door and came behind him, saying softly: "Don't you like me to touch the treasure house of Duke Yang?"

Xu Ziling shook his head and said, "No! I definitely didn't mean that. Since my mother told us where the treasure is, she meant for us to get it. I'm just afraid that if you boast about Haikou, you won't be able to find the treasure one day, and you won't be able to fulfill your promise."

"

Kou Zhong said: "That's why I want your help. We are two brothers in this world. You have to help me find the treasure before I can leave."

Xu Ziling turned around and met Kou Zhong's fiery eyes. All kinds of past events flashed through his mind, and he softened in his heart and said, "What is your plan?"

Kou Zhong was delighted and said: "Those boys from Gao Zhandao have accumulated a large number of weapons, ships and wealth in the past few years. As long as we train them well, they can become our soldiers. With them as our team, we will carefully plan a salt transport performance.

It can not only kill Li Mi's majesty, but also make our reputation more famous. We can recruit troops along the way and make friends with heroes from all over the world. But the most powerful thing about us is that we don't occupy an area and don't claim to be king. We don't take the initiative to fight for hegemony until we get Guanzhong. Hey! You!

What do you think?"

Xu Ziling smiled bitterly and said, "Don't go that far, okay? The most I can do is help you find - Mr. Yang's treasure house - and then I'll leave."

Kou Zhong hugged him and said: "That's enough. You are really my good brother. Our group is called the Shuanglong Gang. It penetrates all the rebel armies pervasively, first grasps the intelligence, and constantly buys people's hearts. Once something happens,

, who is our opponent?"

Xu Ziling frowned and said, "Gao Zhandao and others are accustomed to being pirates. Are they willing to obey your orders?"

Kou Zhong let him go, laughed, and lowered his voice: "They have just kowtowed to me and toasted me, calling me gang leader. Now we will go to their den of thieves, master their strength, and organize and train them.

You can hit the road immediately."

Then he patted his chest and said, "Trust me! I, Kou Zhong, will definitely train an elite army that is unrivaled in the world. I will beat Li Mi, Dad, Yu Wenwengu and others who only know how to call me mother. Oh! But you also have to help me train my troops."

become."

Xu Ziling sighed: "I knew you would kill snakes and follow them with a stick. But after you get the treasure, you will never use any other tricks to make me stay."

Kou Zhong stretched out his big hand and said: "It's a deal!"

Xu Ziling also stretched out his hand and shook his hand tightly.

Seeing the strange light in Kou Zhonghu's eyes, Xu Ziling felt an indescribable feeling in his heart; he vaguely felt that in this troubled world, at this moment, a generation of tyrants had emerged who could turn his hands into clouds and rain.

※※※

The Double Dragon Gang was quietly established outside Jianghu's consciousness.

Kou Zhong showed his extraordinary skills and subdued more than 200 pirates who were arrogant and domineering, and everyone followed his lead.

In just one night, he combined Li Jing's "Ten Bloody Fighting Styles", Tu Shufang's "Pulse Cutting Technique" and the martial arts he had learned, and transformed it into a set of "Eight Strikes of the Dragon", which he passed on to Gao Zhandao.

Niu Fengyi and Zha Jie were then transferred to other members of the gang.

He also drew up the simple and tight organization and structure of the Shuanglong Gang, which was probably a dual-gang leader system. Of course, Xu Ziling would not take care of things. In fact, all the power was in his hands. Below the gang leader, there was a military advisor and four gang members.

, and then there are the three inner hall masters, who are in charge of internal affairs, finance and training respectively, and are held by Gao Zhandao, Niu Fengyi and Cha Jie.

Waisantang is responsible for combat, intelligence and food.

Each hall has a principal and deputy hall master, each with their own duties.

Except for the three main hall masters of the three inner halls, the others are still vacant because there are no candidates.

In the water village in Changshu, Kou Zhong was busy day and night, so he personally drafted the gang rules. After writing them out, Gao Zhandao and others thought that they could not change a single word, and they admired him even more.

Xu Ziling was forced by him to train his subordinates. Xu Ziling was approachable and popular, and everyone saw that his opponent was more powerful than any weapon, and they admired him extremely. Therefore, his morale was high, and they did not despise him at all because of his youth.

Heart.

After two months of this, one day when Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong were studying the changes in the battle formation, Gao Zhandao came to report that a large number of people from nearby rivers and lakes had heard about it and admired him and wanted to join Juyi.

Kou Zhong pondered for a long time and said: "I politely refuse them all. Now we are not internally stable and many things are not on track. If it expands suddenly, it will only end in a disastrous situation."

Gao Zhandao took the order and went.

Kou Zhong laughed and said, "Xiao Ling! We can set off after we win the battle."

Xu Ziling nodded and said: "The rumor has been leaked. This group of people must be spies sent by Shen Faxing. Seeing that we did not fall into the trap, they will send people to attack in the next two days, so let us go to inquire about the enemy's situation and report to the gang leader when we come back."

Report."

Kou Zhong laughed and said, "Don't play tricks on me, kid. What gang leader? Aren't you the same? Gang leaders or emperors just let others have titles. There is no such thing among us brothers."

Xu Ziling laughed and went straight away.

※※※

After Xu Ziling came back that night, several top leaders of the Shuanglong Gang gathered in the lobby to discuss secretly.

Xu Ziling said: "As expected by the bandit leader, Shen Faxing mobilized an army of about 2,000 people and hid in a dense forest southeast of our village, only two days away from us."

Only then did Gao Zhandao and others know what had happened, but seeing that both Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling knew what was going on, he became excited and geared up for a while, with high fighting spirit.

Kou Zhong said: "We want to fight a good battle in Zhao today. We don't want to annihilate all the enemies. We just hope to inflict heavy losses and kill their commanders. Then we will break them into pieces and carry out the big plan we made earlier."

Niu Fengyi said: "What's the plan?"

Kou Zhong said: "If my estimate is correct, the Haisha Gang will take the opportunity to avenge their former enemies this time, so that's all if the enemy doesn't come, otherwise it will be a land and water attack, hoping to kill us all in one fell swoop."

He turned to Xu Ziling and said, "Han Gaitian will be left to you."

Xu Ziling smiled slightly and said: "Then I will sneak into the flagship of the Shanghai Sand Gang alone and become an assassin on the sea."

Cha Jie said with admiration: "As soon as the gang leader arrived here, he ordered us to strengthen our defense. At that time, we thought it was unnecessary, but now we know that the gang leader actually has foresight."

Kou Zhong smiled and said nothing, thinking that if I don't have any skills, how can I control such big thieves as you?

※※※

Three days later, the moon was dark and the wind was high. Everyone knew that it was time for the enemy to attack.

When night fell, all the seven warships of the Shuanglong Gang quietly left, while Kou Zhong led a hundred men to lie down in more than a dozen bunkers in the mountains outside the water village, waiting for the enemy to arrive.

At the time of the first update, more than fifty large and small warships appeared on the sea opposite the water village, lowered their speedboats, and launched a forceful attack from the sea.

At the same time, hundreds of torches were lit all over the mountains and plains on land, and thousands of enemies came towards the stronghold.

This group of enemies attacking by land was mainly composed of horsemen, supplemented by infantry, and was very powerful.
