King Zheng Ren was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and then shook his head: "Erlang, I still think that our own brothers have the final say. I feel uncomfortable if I ask you to rely on others and listen to other people's orders."
Zheng Diwang said: "Sanlang, let me say it again, we are not taking refuge, we are returning. As for your worries, I have also thought about it. We can just listen and not listen. If anything harms our old Zheng family, we will just fool it."
, when we need to rely on the power of the imperial court, we will look for someone named Li. And after we truly surrender Zhangjiabao and Xinsi Fort, and have thousands of troops under our command, we can fight against Liucheng on the same level. In this land south of Yingzhou,
That’s Zheng’s surname.”
What he said made King Zheng Tian's blood boil and his chest became hot, and he aroused a lot of pride. He clapped his legs and praised: "Good Erlang, I really have you. Let's do it like this. You can send people to Liucheng quickly to find an opportunity to test it out. Let's fight for it."
Restoring your status as an officer and soldier is the key to achieving great things for you and me, we must not be careless, what do you think?"
King Zheng Di agreed and looked at King Zheng Ren with a smile. King Zheng Ren thought for a while and said: "It sounds good, but I don't know if it will work..."
King Zheng worked harder and said: "It depends on people. This matter will be solved naturally. Brothers, just wait for the good news."
King Zheng Tian said: "Then it depends on Erlang. But Sanlang's worries are not unreasonable. We still have to be prepared. For those matters about bows and crossbows, Erlang needs to contact Cui Shang as soon as possible. Well, it's best to contact Cui Shang as soon as possible."
Get some armor. The stronger we are, the more people named Li will look up to our brothers. By the way, where are the goods from Liujiatun and Shidan Village this month? Erlang didn't seem to mention just now, the wild ginseng and ginseng from these two companies.
I have been in need of deer antlers for more than two months, and Cui Shang is still interested in these things."
King Zheng Di said: "Now that I know Da Lang, I will urge him again."
King Zheng Renwang said hurriedly: "Don't forget so-and-so's red cloth and satin." The reason why he was anxious about this matter was because he fell in love with the girl of the Sun family in Shidan Village. King Zheng Renwang ruined many young people from various villages.
Women are always thrown away like old clogs after they are finished, just like the fiancée of Wulang Guojia in Liujiatun, who was snatched away, and then the woman jumped into the river and committed suicide. King Zheng Ren only curled his lips. But this grandson
The daughter of the Sun family is different, her appearance and behavior are very to his liking, no matter how you look at it, he likes it. This time he plans to get married to a matchmaker. He will take the daughter of the Sun family to Yangshan Village and become the wife of Yazhai. All the characters in the previous posts have been removed.
After that, the time for the banquet to worship heaven and earth has been set, which will be on the sixth day of the next month. But there is still a shortage of a lot of red cloth and satin. Of course, whether the Sun family is willing to marry a daughter is not at all considered by the three brothers.
Zheng Tianwang smiled: "The third child is anxious, and Erlang also takes this matter to heart. Don't delay the third child's best time. Speaking of which, why haven't Shidan Village and Liujiatun come to deliver goods this month?"
King Zheng Di said: "After two days of delay, I have already let Liu Meizi pass."
Liu Meizi is one of the most useful assistants of the three brothers of the Zheng family. For him to urge Shidan Village and Liujiatun to hand over the goods is suspected of being overqualified and underutilized. In this regard, King Zheng explained: "A while ago, I heard that
Several traders from outside the mountain came and visited our Songling area. At first, I heard that they were selling salt. I didn’t pay much attention to it. Later, I heard that they were secretly inquiring about many things and asking questions.
Regarding the population, land and other conditions here, I sent people down the mountain to look for them, but they were not found. I heard from Guo Changsheng from Liujiatun that these people had already left. Guo Changsheng also said that these people were acting suspiciously. It didn’t look like they were there.
There was also a Khitan among the merchants selling goods. He could not tell the specific origin. This time Shidan Village and Liujiatun did not turn in the goods as scheduled. I was afraid that there would be some changes, so I asked Liu Meizi to bring twenty
Brother, I will go there myself... Of course, I am just in case, and I hope nothing happens."
King Zheng Tian nodded, but didn't say anything. Erlang of the Zheng family has always been smart and wise, and he dealt with things cautiously. As an elder brother, he always felt at ease with his younger brother.
But he didn't expect that Zheng Diwang's "just in case" worry actually became a reality. After Liu Meizi and his people left Yangshan Village, there was no news at all. On the third day, Zheng Diwang couldn't sit still.
When some people were asked to go there in person, one of Liu Meizi's brothers, Liu Er, returned to the village and lay down at the feet of King Zheng, crying and crying, begging him to avenge his brothers. Also returning with him was Shi Dan.
Chu Da, a village elder.
It turned out that when Liu Meizi led people to Shidan Village, they encountered a group of Khitan people. Those Khitan people were extremely arrogant. They stepped forward and tried to disarm Liu Meizi and others. Liu Meizi was not someone to be trifled with, and both parties immediately
There was a big fight. Liu Meizi led twenty brothers. There were only a dozen or so Khitans in the group, and their weapons and armor were in pieces. They were no match for Liu Meizi and others, and they were immediately killed and defeated.
Liu Meizi led his men to chase the group of Khitans into Shidan Village, but unexpectedly a large number of Khitans came out of the village, numbering in the hundreds. Liu Meizi was killed on the spot, leaving only a few brothers who were still alive.
Liu Er was also imprisoned, and Liu Er was one of them. After Liu Er was caught by the Khitans, he really suffered a lot. He was tortured and interrogated by the Khitans for a day. The focus of the questioning was the situation in Yangshan Village. Fortunately,
Liu Er was a very tough man and did not reveal any information to the Khitan people. Fortunately, at night, Chu Da stole some free time and quietly rescued Liu Er. The two of them fled back to Yangshan Village overnight. Speaking of which
, Liu Er choked and said: "Second Master, you must avenge your brothers."
King Zheng checked the wounds on Liu Er's body on the spot. The bloody marks on his chest and back were really miserable. He also asked Chu Da what happened and why he didn't report it earlier.
Chu Da explained: "Just five days ago, a large group of Khitan soldiers came to the village. These Khitan soldiers seemed to be very familiar with the situation in the mountains. As soon as they arrived, they blocked all the nearby roads, and they could only enter the village without leaving the village.
People who went hunting and fishing in a certain village couldn't get out after they came back, so they couldn't pass the news to the village." As he said that, Chu Da's face was full of anger: "These Khitan people are really nothing, they are all beasts robbing someone.
They ate food, abused the girls in the village, and killed people at every turn. In the past few days, they have killed more than ten people in the village."
King Zheng Di asked again about the situation of this group of Khitan people. Chu Dadao said: "There are about a hundred Khitan people in the village. These days, a certain old man has been serving them food and has become familiar with the Khitan people. From a few Khitan people,
The general found out some information. They seemed to be the remnants of the Khitan tribe. They fled to the south after being defeated by General Li of the imperial court. Now General Li is expanding and consolidating the territory around Liucheng, and these Khitans cannot hide. So.
Take refuge in the mountains. By the way, the second village leader, I have seen one of them. He came to the mountains with a few merchants to inquire about news a few days ago. Those few people were either merchants or spies sent by the Khitan people. A certain family was fine that day.
Treat them with good food and drink. If I had known this was the case, I should have captured them and sent them to the stronghold. These Khitan people have killed a thousand people."
King Zheng gave Chu Da a few words of comfort and asked, "Are there only a few hundred Khitan people coming?"
Chu Da Dao: "In the past few days, there have been only about a hundred Khitans in a certain village, and I haven't seen anyone else. But I heard that they still have 200 people in Liujiatun, and they are now divided into two places."
King Zheng nodded and asked, "How is your father? Your family didn't suffer any loss, right?"
Chu Da Dao: "The adults in a certain family are fine, but they are driven by the Khitan people to do things, and they feel very depressed. The Khitan people rely on their families for many things, so everyone in a certain family is fine. After a certain person escaped, the adults in the family told him that they must Please ask the leader of the village to send troops to drive away these Khitans and save the people from the fire and water." He said. Chu Da fell to the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "Please have mercy on the leader of the village and send troops as soon as possible. A certain family member is willing to respond internally."
King Zheng Di did not dare to delay, so he hurriedly went to find King Zheng Tian and King Zheng Ren, and gathered several of his capable helpers to hold urgent discussions in the Juyi Hall.
"... Liu Er's injury has been examined by someone. It turns out to be the Hu people's whip technique, and it is extremely skillful. The whip bites the flesh, but does not damage the muscles and bones... The current situation coincides with someone's guess. Chu Da said that he had seen a general among the Khitan people, who was one of the people who pretended to be a merchant that day. It seemed that these Khitan people had already planned to occupy Xiaoling River... Chu Da's words should not be false. After all, the Chu family has settled in Shidan Village since their ancestors, and we know everything about them. Compared with the Khitan people, they should be more aligned with us..."
After King Zheng Di explained the situation, everyone in the Juyi Hall jumped up. Among them, the third youngest King Zheng Renwang jumped the most. He said angrily: "These Khitan dogs can't beat Li Chengzhong, so they came to us." Are you kidding, do you think our Yangshan Village is made of mud? Dalang, just give the order. I will take people to quell this bunch of bastards to avenge Liu Meizi and relieve the hatred of my brothers." In fact, King Zheng Di was more anxious because he had taken a liking to him. The wife of Yazhai, Mrs. Sun, lives in Shidan Village. Now she doesn't know whether she is alive or dead. When he thinks that the lovely boy is probably being pressed under the crotch of a Khitan dog, he becomes extremely anxious.
"Yes, Lao Liu's death cannot be in vain, we must avenge him." The crowd was furious for a while, and everyone asked King Zheng to fight.
Zhao Qiandao said: "King of Heaven, the King of Earth also said just now that the Khitans are defeated and their armor is broken. We should be able to win this battle."
King Zheng Tian knew in his heart that this battle must be fought. Putting aside the rest, the killing of Liu Meizi alone was already an inextricable knot between Yangshan Village and the Khitan people. Liu Meizi had a very high status in the village, and he and Many brothers are very close. If we don't avenge him, the morale of the army will be unstable, and he will definitely not be able to take the position of the leader for a long time. He turned to King Zheng and said: "Erlang, how to fight, can you tell me?"
King Zheng was already confident and immediately said: "This battle should be fought quickly rather than later. According to the news from Liu Er, they are probably eyeing our Yangshan Village. This is what the question should mean. After all, our Yangshan Village is the key. Only by capturing Yangshan Village can we control this territory. Chu Da said that there are about a hundred people stationed in Shidan Village, and I estimate that there should be 100 to 200 people in Liujiatun, so we'd better hurry up and get there. The Khitans should attack them before they can unite in one place, so that they can be divided and destroyed."
After hearing this, King Zheng Tian said decisively: "Let's take action immediately. Sanlang went to Diliwa and asked them to send out 200 ding. Lao Zhao went to Maoshipu and asked them to send out 200 ding as well. A certain person led the elite of the village to attack .Let’s meet up at Yu’erpu, attack Shidan Village first, and then Liujiatun, so that these Khitan dogs can’t come and go.”
King Zheng Di hurriedly interjected: "Dalang, if the Khitans surrender, we can't kill them all. We can leave a small mouth and send them to Liucheng as a meeting gift."
King Zheng Tian was startled and said with a smile: "Second brother, I really have you" (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
