By the way, Wu Dong's unusual move of sending troops in the cold winter, coupled with the record of winning three manors in a row, how could it not attract the attention of the surrounding officials and local powerful people?
In particular, the three manor owners hated Wu Dong so much that they wanted to eat his flesh and drink his blood, so that they could barely vent their hatred.
Naturally, they put pressure on the government immediately, asking the government to send troops to exterminate the rebel bandits in eastern Wu and restore their family's heavy losses.
Unfortunately, the cold winter is not a good time to send troops, and neither the local government nor the garrison is willing to take such risks.
Once an accident occurs, it will be a serious matter that will kill your head.
At this time, most of the elite Sui troops were on the front line of Youzhou. No one could guarantee the combat effectiveness of the local garrison.
In desperation, the local tycoons who had their estates robbed and suffered losses could only find their own solutions.
There isn't much that can be done. For the time being, we can only send out elite soldiers to the area of the fallen manor to find out information, and at the same time encourage others to create trouble for the Wagang rebels.
But the result was that the people who suffered the loss were heartbroken...
Most of the men sent out were never heard from again.
Later I found out that these guys were so stupid that they went to find out the news, but they were all caught by the Wagang rebels.
I don’t know where the Wagang rebels got so many good men. Among the guys sent out to find out the news, there were quite a few third-rate men.
Other clever spies got information that not only made local powerful people furious, but also made them feel chilly deep down in their hearts.
The damn Wagang rebels dared to distribute the manor fields to those tenants and hermits whose lives were worth nothing.
After the group of tenant farmers and hermit farmers got the land, they all rebelled and joined the Wagang rebels.
How dare they, how dare they kill all the stewards and guards in the manor as a testimonial.
Damn it, damn it, these bastards deserve to die!
For some reason, the local powerful always thought of the spies' reports, that those damn tenants and hermits actually chopped the manor stewards and guards into mincemeat, and while their hearts burst out with anger, they could not help but feel the slightest hint of fear.
If one day...
I don't dare to think about it, I don't want to think about it, I must find a way to get the lost manor back, and kill all the tenants and hermits who dare to rebel, otherwise it will be difficult to relieve the anger in my heart.
I originally thought of inciting those ignorant tenant farmers and hermit households to cause trouble, but now it seems that I can't do it.
The weather is now very cold, and it is not a good time to send out large groups of troops. I can only temporarily suppress my dissatisfaction and wait for the weather to get warmer before looking for the bad luck of the Wagang rebels.
The reason why they did not send out more powerful warriors to raid the three fallen manors and garrison the Wagang rebels was because they had heard that among the Wagang rebels, Shan Xiongxin and other well-known first-rate warriors had appeared, and they did not want to.
Gambling with the life of your own expert.
In addition, they heard that Wu Dong, the leader of the Wagang rebels, was not a good person, so they couldn't act rashly. They didn't want to lose any more family heritage.
Even so, Wu Dong's Wagang Army has been on the blacklist of powerful families nearby, and they will not let it go easily once they get the opportunity.
What depresses them the most is that they don’t know what Wu Dong, the veteran of Wagang, was thinking, sending troops to attack the manor and fields outside the city in the cold winter. Isn’t this embarrassment for them?
Local officials did not have such violent mood swings. The Wagang rebellion only affected the manor and fields outside the city, which had little impact on them.
Even if the face and pressure of the local powerful are not in the way, sending troops to encircle and suppress them will only happen after the weather gets warmer.
As long as the Wagang rebels don't take the initiative to attack important towns, it won't be a big deal for them to harm the manors outside the city. The ones who suffer the losses are not local officials like them.
In short, Wu Dong led his troops to seize three manors in one fell swoop, causing quite a stir among nearby officials and powerful families.
But because of the weather, no matter how big or small the waves are, they will not be threatened by the army at this time.
As for the counterattack from the local powerful, just as Wu Dong confidently said, he has no fear at all, and his brothers can withstand it!
Such a situation makes all the Wagang elders more and more envious. Unfortunately, now they can only drool and stare. Who said they don't have the courage and determination?
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the whole Wagang area is filled with joy.
The leader Zhai Rang held a banquet in the meeting hall and celebrated the New Year with a group of elders and talents who joined later. The atmosphere was lively and joyful.
All the brothers were also given enough meat and wine, enough for them to have a good meal and spend a good New Year in a good mood.
It’s no wonder that everyone in Wagang is in a good mood. Since the establishment of Wagang Army, the development momentum has been pretty good.
Although it is not as powerful as other rebel armies, it is still improving steadily.
The brothers' life has gone from a difficult life before to now being able to basically ensure that they have enough to eat, which is already quite good.
After Xu Shiji's suggestion and discussion among a group of veterans, the big leader Zhai Rang made the final decision. When the weather warms up, the main force of Wagang will move towards Rongyang.
With specific development goals in mind, not only Zhai Rang, but also all the senior officials have the confidence to do so, at least they won't feel at a loss.
There are those who are ambitious and even want to imitate Wu Dong in attacking the city.
Wu Dong's troops were able to seize the manors outside the city with overwhelming force. Wagang's main force had to seize at least one or two towns to make sense, right?
In order to prevent Wu Dong from interfering with their work, these elders jointly asked Wu Dong to stay behind.
Wu Dong had no idea about this. Seeing the big leader Zhai Rang nodding, he accepted the task and didn't feel unhappy at all about being targeted.
In this way, the banquet was naturally very lively, and no bad emotions were dissipated at all. The Wagang elders all drank happily.
By the time the feast to celebrate the New Year was over, it was already late at night.
Wu Dong was still awake and led his younger brother back to the camp with steady steps.
He was wearing only a single coat at this time and felt the biting cold wind outside, but he didn't feel cold at all.
If there is a master by his side, he will be keenly aware of his long and rhythmic breathing.
The skin of the body ripples with the breathing, but actually with each exhalation and inhalation, the pores of the skin open and close, and the heat around the body is steaming like a big furnace.
If he were in the land of Liaodong further north, he would probably be surrounded by mist at this time, making people think he had ascended to immortality.
After such a long period of recovery, he has now reached the level of bone refining, and naturally entered the level of energy transformation, and it is still at the peak of energy transformation.
As his food intake increased, his strength in his hands successfully exceeded two thousand kilograms, reaching a terrifying level of about two thousand five hundred kilograms.
Because he didn't know the strength of the world's top experts in the Tang Dynasty Shuanglong, he didn't want to expose himself prematurely and put himself in the center of attention of the top experts.
For a period of time after that, he would only wander around Wagang Mountain and the attached manor. He would not make any big moves until Sui Emperor Yang Guang failed in his first conquest of Goguryeo and started his second conquest of Goguryeo.
Wagang's geographical location may be good or bad, but it's really bad.
If it's good, there is a canal nearby and the surrounding terrain is relatively flat, which is very suitable for a large army to attack.
Once you play well, you can easily shock the world, just like a snowball growing bigger and bigger.
Whether it is history, romance, or the Double Dragon World of the Tang Dynasty, the development momentum of the Wagang Army is actually this model.
The bad thing is that Wagang is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains.
One bad thing is that we are surrounded by enemies on all sides.
It is also for this reason that the Wagang Army can only win a big victory but not a big defeat, otherwise it will easily lead to collapse.
Wu Dong saw these things clearly and naturally had his own choices and judgments.
I will probably be bored for a long time after that, and I will always have to find some fun to pass the time, and flirt with the powerful people in the Double Dragon World of the Tang Dynasty.
He has become the number two figure in the Wagang Army. He has never met a few famous figures in the world, let alone the masters of the six sects of the Demon Sect, and even the masters of the Buddhist Sect.
As for the relatively low-key Taoist masters, there is no trace of them.
My ears, I heard some rumors from time to time, about a fight between so-and-so and so-and-so, what old top players did, and so on.
It's really not interesting. It's true that the current world situation is not turbulent enough. By the time Double Dragon is born, it will be an era when all the heroes will shine together.
Since the world is not lively enough, let’s make it lively.
He is confident that he has a very accurate grasp of the warrior's mind.
…
On the other side, the banquet in the meeting hall ended.
The big leader, Zhai Rang, was also clear-headed. He left Shan Xiongxin and Xu Shiji to talk.
Xu Shiji and Shan Xiongxin were a little confused, but they followed Zhai Rang honestly and sat down in the small flower hall where he received foreign guests.
"Two brothers, tell the truth. You followed the Wu Dong brothers and captured three manors in a row. You have experienced war. Do you think we have the strength to attack the town?"
It can be heard from his tone that Zhai Rang is quite confused.
The main reason was that when the weather got warmer and troops were dispatched, Wu Dong and his battalion head brothers did not join in, because he felt a little unsure.
"This, we can't copy Leader Wu's tactics for the time being!"
Shan Xiongxin smiled bitterly and said: "If Leader Wu is here, we have a lot of confidence in attacking the county. For those of us, it's best to be surprised!"
Although he followed Wu Dong and received some guidance on physical training, Shan Xiongxin's strength and strength have improved a lot.
With both hands working together, I'm afraid he may not have the strength of six to seven hundred kilograms, but relying on such strength to attack a town with a complete defense system is still somewhat insufficient.
Of course, if Shan Xiongxin can catch the city by surprise and attack the city wall or inside the city as soon as possible, the chances of breaking the city are still high. Don't underestimate the combat effectiveness and lethality of a first-rate general...
