Chapter 66 Killing the chicken to scare the monkey
As soon as he got close, Li Shan heard Zhu Wei's angry shouts.
"Pig intestines, if you have the guts, try it!"
Is this a name or a nickname? The corners of Li Shan's mouth moved. Zhu Ba beside him already vomited... After killing the pigs, he was the one responsible for dealing with those who went into the water.
A young man next to him whispered: "Zhu Chang, it is said that he used to be a bandit. He lives in the village across the Jinghe River. He is ruthless and has a bad reputation, so..."
Li Shan nodded, took a few steps forward, found a good position and took a closer look, and couldn't help but frown.
Zhu Wei stood at the entrance of the alley, with scattered wooden stakes in front of him and a dozen young men holding long sticks behind him.
The pig opposite had a fat and strong body. He was surrounded by a dozen big men, and a large group of people stood behind him. Most of them had weapons in their hands. Behind them...a densely packed area that Li Shan could see.
A little dazzled.
"About a thousand people." Guo Pu, who didn't know when he appeared, whispered: "The less than a hundred people in the front are all strong and strong, and they look like they have seen blood. The hundreds of people in the back are sallow and thin, but they are just refugees."
Li Shan took a closer look and saw that not only were they sallow and thin, but there were also many children, women and children, some of whom were even unable to stand and could only sit on the ground.
While thinking about it, Li Shan suddenly thought, "No, no."
"What's wrong?"
"It makes sense if refugees come to invade." Li Shan said slowly: "But this pig's intestines are carrying a hundred people, strong and strong, and armed with weapons..."
Guo Pu blurted out, "They just came to Zhujiagou specially!"
"It's not Zhujiagou." Li Shan's face looked a little ugly, "It's Dongshan Temple."
The refugees were just trying to survive, but the bandits were looking for money...Zhu Dachang lived on the other side of the Jing River. He must have heard that Dongshan Temple was making a lot of money in Dongshi, so he brought the bandits to the door.
"Dalang, what should we do?" Zhu Ba gritted his teeth, "We have already sent people here, I'm not afraid that we won't be able to defeat him!"
"If you're not afraid of thieves, you're just afraid of them missing you." Li Shan sighed, "If you can guard against thieves for a day, how can you guard against thieves for a thousand days?"
"Mr. Lang, don't you want to leave any future troubles?" Guo Pu frowned and said, "There are less than two hundred young people in the village. If we work together to attack, it will not be difficult to defeat them, but if we want not to miss anyone..."
Li Shan squinted and listened to Zhu Daguang's loud threats, while Zhu Wei cursed without fear. The bandits behind him were getting impatient with waiting, and faint cries could be heard from the refugees.
"Uncle Guo, do you think this is possible?" Li Shan said a few words quickly in a low voice.
After a moment of silence, Guo Pu nodded slightly and added a few words. Zhu Ba trotted over and leaned into Zhu Wei's ear.
"Will it work?"
When things came to a close, Li Shan felt a little uneasy, but Guo Pu comforted him and said, "If you want to solve the problem once and for all, you can give it a try."
After speaking, Guo Pu quietly retreated and disappeared into the alley.
"A thousand strings?"
"A thousand gold coins, a red mouth and white teeth, I will never go back on my word!" Zhu Wei said loudly: "But you must not invade the village or the temple."
"I'm not afraid to tell you that Zen Master Wuchao, the abbot of Dongshan Temple, is well-known in Chang'an. As soon as he files a lawsuit..."
"So much nonsense!" Zhu Dachang interrupted impatiently, thinking that he would take the money and escape up the mountain with his brothers. If that didn't work, he would go to Hebei. Are he afraid of being arrested by the government?
Zhu Wei put forward a few more conditions in a long-winded manner, and Guo Pu had to make arrangements later, so he needed to buy time.
"Have you ever seen a thousand dollars?"
"Do you know how heavy it is?"
"Go to the temple and move it yourself."
Li Shan was a little worried that the other party might not be fooled by such a simple strategy.
But unexpectedly, Zhu Dachang agreed after a few words of discussion with the people around him, and dozens of big men slowly stepped forward with weapons in hand.
Why is pig intestines willing to be put into a vat?
The reason is very simple. Zhujiagou is a small village with no more than 200 households and at most 200 young people. Zhu Dachang brought nearly a hundred bandits with him, all of them armed with weapons and bows and arrows.
In the final analysis, force decides everything, and force gives the pig intestines the courage to enter the village.
And Li Shan didn't guess wrong. The pig intestines came to Dongshan Temple. He had long heard that Dongshan Temple was making a lot of money in Dongshi. He had been coveting it for a long time. This rare opportunity came, so naturally he wanted to come and get some.
of.
Li Shan retreated slowly and hid in the alley next door. He found a high place and looked over, wondering how Guo Pu was preparing.
The wood at the entrance of the alley had been moved away. Zhu Wei led the villagers back, while Zhu Dachang led his men forward vigilantly.
He sniffed and smelled the aroma of meat from the pig intestines. He couldn't help but cursed, "My mother is so rich, how can one thousand guan be enough?!"
Zhu Wei had disappeared into the alley, and Zhu Dachang quickened his pace. At this moment, the sound of rapid footsteps sounded.
A neat queue blocked the entrance of the alley, and what appeared in front of Zhu Dachang's eyes were five sharp spear points, and then one spear after another came out one after another. The ferocious-looking young man said nothing, and his steps were neat and unhurried.
Come slowly.
So many spears?
Zhu Dachang felt excited. Before he could give the order, there were a few muffled sounds from behind, and the wall that was not too short was forcibly pushed down. Guo Pu, who was wearing armor, jumped into the alley with a long knife in his hand. He raised the knife and dropped it. There were three or four people around him.
Screaming and wailing, he fell to the ground.
Li Shan at the top was a little anxious. Guo Pu was a personal guard of the Li family and always acted cautiously. How could he take such a risk?
But then, several young men also wearing armor jumped over the fallen wall bricks and rushed into the alley with long knives, completely disrupting the queue of thieves.
There were two more muffled sounds, and two more walls were knocked down. Qing Zhuang rushed out and quickly blocked the prepared giant tree diagonally in the alley, completely blocking the opponent's retreat.
Li Shan muttered, "Fortunately, I borrowed a few more armors from Brother Demou."
In the age of cold weapons, the people will not ban swords, guns, clubs, or even bows, but they will definitely ban armor.
An ordinary soldier puts on iron armor and becomes an elite as long as he does not lose his courage.
The shouts of killing were loud in the alley, and the smell of blood gradually became stronger. Li Shan glared at the followers around him, "Why don't you go help."
"but……"
"It's very safe here. If you don't go, maybe one more family will be found guilty tomorrow!"
The other seven people only looked at Zhu Ba, who hesitated for a while, then jumped down with his sword and kicked open the door of the house. He only had to go around twice to get through. Everyone followed Zhu Ba and rushed into the alley with his sword excitedly.
The pig's large intestine held up the knife coming from the opposite side, and the tiger's mouth was numb, but why was only half of the knife blade left?
Pig intestines are sad and angry. This is unreasonable!
What a bully!
There's no way to fight!
The weapons in the hands of his group were naturally sharp weapons against civilians, so Zhu Dachang dared to enter the village with less than a hundred men, but unexpectedly he was hit with a head-on injury and bloodshed.
The ordnance sent by Li Kai and other Qin Prince's descendants were all of the best quality, and the ordnance Zhu Wei hid in Dongshan Temple was of better quality. When two knives collide, the bandit's knife often collapses or breaks directly.
The bandit even struck the soldier with a knife, but the soldier suffered pain but was actually unharmed.
Not to mention that Zhu Wei has often trained the young men in the village over the past year, and Guo Pu has used military methods to restrain them in the past ten days, making these young men of less than 200 people vaguely look like the elite of the army.
The number of people is about the same, but the weapons are very different. One of them is just seeking wealth, while the other is to protect his hometown.
Moreover, they were still calculating mentally and unintentionally. They were blocked at both ends, and in the middle there were brave generals like Guo Pu who were wearing armor and forming chaotic formations.
Zhu Dachang was a smart man. He gave up his weapons early and knelt on the ground. Looking sideways, he saw that there were still more than ten people who refused to surrender... surrounded by more than thirty spears, and they were stabbed to the ground in a short time.
"Are you Zhu Chang?"
He looked up and saw a young man with a plain expression. He was stunned for a moment. The man was wearing bright light armor. He took off his helmet and had a beautiful face. He didn't care about the blood under his feet.
Before he could speak, Li Shan said with great interest: "The government has not provided relief yet. The Turks ransacked the Guannai Road in the east of Hedong. There were many refugees in Jingzhao causing chaos. This person kidnapped the refugees and took advantage of the chaos to take advantage of the Dongshan Temple."
"Uncle Qi, this man not only has some courage, but also some strategy."
Zhu Dachang was overjoyed and kowtowed loudly again, "I'm willing to sell myself as a slave, please be my husband..."
"What do you want you to do?" Li Shan looked at the corpses around him boredly, "Uncle Guo, how are the casualties?"
"Two people were seriously injured and more than 20 people were slightly injured."
Li Shan snorted, "Did the bandit make any omissions?"
"We counted ninety-two people. Thirty-six died, fifty-two were injured, and the remaining ones knelt down and abandoned their weapons."
The door carrying the seriously injured person happened to be passing by. Orthopedic surgeon Li Shan only gave up after looking at it twice. One of them was about to die, and the other... Even in the previous life, it took the chief directors of several departments to work together to save him.
With a dark face, Zhu Wei kicked the pig's intestines with a fierce kick, but still couldn't forgive his hatred, he picked up a spear and whipped it down hard.
"Seventh Uncle." Li Shan said calmly: "Is it just a beating?"
Guo Pu vaguely heard the implication and looked at Li Shan in surprise. He had long discovered that this young man had complicated emotions about human life, and he neither cared nor cared.
It seems that he is very accustomed to blood and does not care about life and death, but he will always help the wounded when he sees him.
Zhu Wei hesitated and said, "Da Lang, the number of prisoners killed is unknown."
"Are there any prisoners?" Li Shan stared into Zhu Wei's eyes, "Dongshan Temple has a lot of financial resources, and it is inevitable that it will be coveted by others in the future. If a chicken happens to bump into it, it will naturally kill the chicken to scare the monkeys."
