Deng Xiaoxian woke up and his injuries were getting better day by day. Wang Xian finally let go of his heavy heart. At this time, news came from various counties that the old, weak, women and children sent out had successfully aroused panic...
Nowadays, every county has exploded. It is said everywhere that the official army has been assembled and is preparing to split into two groups from the direction of Tai'an and Jining to attack Southern Qingzhou! It is said that there are as many as 50,000 troops! Juzhou, Rizhao and other counties
Fortunately, those counties that bear the brunt of the impact, such as Mengyin and Yishui counties, are all in panic all day long. Many wealthy people have fled. It is said that even the White Lotus cultists who have occupied the county seat are thinking of retreating to Yimeng Mountain to avoid
The officers and soldiers made dumplings.
Wang Xian knew that it was time for him to take action. If it were too late, either the rumors would go bankrupt, or the White Lotus cultists would really hide in Yimeng Mountain, and the drama would really not be able to go on...
"Sir, do you really only bring so few people?" On the night before departure, Liu Jun held a banquet to see Wang Xian off and expressed his worries: "No one will take it seriously with only 500 people."
"Haha, don't worry, my lord, I'm here to give gifts. If there are too many people, I will scare them." Wang Xian still acted like a well-prepared expert.
"It's just that this gift, sir, is a bit too heavy." Cui Laoshi said with a pained face, "All our little money has been poured out!"
"Why don't you be a bit ambitious!" A Chou just couldn't stand Cui Laoshi's petty attitude. He blew his beard and glared: "Didn't Sir say that I will pay you back at least ten times in two months at most?"
"Hey, I hope so, I hope so..." Cui Laoshi couldn't say anything more in front of Wang Xian, so he lowered his head and drank sullenly.
"Don't worry, sir, that's just the kind of person he is." Liu Jun smiled and changed the subject: "I just don't know why sir didn't go to Juzhou first, but to go to Mengyin? Why do I still have some friendship with Shisanxiang?
But Zhuge Hong, who is in the dark, is a difficult person to deal with. Now that we have strong troops and strong horses, I am afraid that he will not even give us face."
"Lord, don't worry. As the saying goes, shoot the man first, shoot the horse first, and capture the thief first, capture the king. If you capture Zhuge Hong, everything will be easy. If you cannot capture Zhuge Hong, everything will be in vain." Wang Xian said with a smile: "
The mountain man has his own clever plan!"
"Okay!" Liu Jun nodded heavily and said, "Then it's all up to you, sir!" He raised his glass and said, "I wish you immediate success, sir! Go ahead!"
"Do it!" Everyone raised their glasses and drank it all...
The next day, Wang Xian and A Chou took five hundred soldiers and horses, escorted a hundred carts of gifts, and headed for Mengyin. Feng Laoliu was among them, and he was indeed promoted to a hundred carts.
The husband, the captain, naturally treated Wang Xian with utmost respect and treated him like a god!
Mengyin and Linqu are neighboring counties, but their scope is quite different. Moreover, the land is mountainous and the mountain people are tough. The one currently occupied is Zhuge Hong, the master of Mengyin Hall of White Lotus Sect! This Zhuge Hong is known as Zhuge Liang's descendant.
People have always prided themselves on being wise and resourceful, and the Zhuge family is a local wealthy family. Now he raised his flag to rebel, and he actually gathered more than 6,000 people. Even if Liu Jun's strength is not compromised, I am afraid he will not be his opponent. The so-called can be relied on originally
Such a call for force is just Liu Jun's bragging...
Zhuge Hong did have a skill. He found a set of military tactics from nowhere and claimed that it was the "Martial Art of Marquis Wu" handed down by Zhuge Liang. He used it to train his subordinates and order the army, and it actually looked like the same thing.
As soon as Wang Xian's team entered Mengyin, spies flew to report to Zhuge Hong, saying that fat sheep had entered the country. Shandong was poor in these days! If it weren't poor, there wouldn't be so many rebels. Don't look at Zhuge Hong's strength of 6,000 or 7,000 people.
It's huge, but if you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, just eating horses and chewing every day can bankrupt you! When he heard that there were a hundred carts, all of which were loaded with valuables, Zhuge Hong immediately
His eyes turned green, and he yelled at the reporter: "Why are you still standing there? Cut it off quickly!"
"Yes!" The messenger hurriedly ran out to deliver the order, and more than a thousand people rushed out with a roar.
In the county government office, Zhuge Hong and his subordinates were very excited. They wondered where this rich man came from. At the worst, he could let his brothers live for a few months without having to worry!
After waiting patiently for more than half an hour, the messenger came back again.
"How was it? How was the harvest?!" Zhuge Hai, Zhuge Hong's younger brother, asked quickly.
"Hey, what's the robbery?" the messenger said with a wry smile, "They are just here to give gifts to our hall master!"
"What?" Zhuge Hong asked, stroking his beard like a steel needle: "Who will give me a gift?"
"Say it's Linqu Liu!" the messenger replied hurriedly.
"Liu Jun?" Zhuge Hong rolled his eyes and said confused: "That guy and I have never been on good terms, how could he give me a gift?"
"Hey, brother, he is no longer as good as a phoenix now. He must be worried about the original Liang Zi and is afraid that brother will beat him." Zhuge Hai said nonchalantly.
"Stop guessing! Bring the people in and ask, and we'll find out!" Zhuge Hong waved his hand and showed his wisdom in martial arts.
"Good idea!" Zhuge Hai is a good source of praise...
Half an hour later, Wang Xian and A Chou held the gift list and entered the county government office proudly. When they came to the lobby, they saw Zhuge Hong and his brothers sitting on several chairs, looking at them eagerly.
"I've come from Linqu to send Hei Jian to pay homage to General Zhuge!" Wang Xian saluted Zhuge Hong respectfully. Although A Chou had always looked down on this 'Brother Pig', at this moment he was able to follow Wang Xian and pay homage to Zhuge Hong.
The salute shows that he sincerely obeyed Wang Xian.
Zhuge Hong didn't know Wang Xian, but he knew A Chou. Seeing that he was actually his deputy, he couldn't help laughing and said: "A Chou, how did you get around? How did you get back as soon as you got around?!" This statement naturally attracted a lot of attention in the room.
Laughing, A Chou didn't take it seriously and raised his head and said: "I will obey my husband and be his deputy. I am proud!"
"Oh..." Zhuge Hong then looked at Wang Xian again. When he saw that this man indeed looked extraordinary and looked like a real person, he smiled and said: "Hei, Mr. Hei, right?"
"It's the student." Wang Xian nodded, looked at Zhuge Hong with a smile and said: "I have admired the name of the general for a long time, and today I saw that he is indeed extraordinary and even more famous! He is indeed the direct descendant of Mr. Wolong!"
Zhuge Hong always tried to live up to his reputation. Seeing Wang Xian being so flattering, he couldn't help but smile. He asked people to show them the tea, and then asked: "What's the matter with Mr. Hei?"
"The students are here to congratulate the general!" Wang Xian took a sip of tea and praised: "Good tea, good tea!"
"Expert! Although our Mengyin tea is not famous, it is not inferior to those famous teas." Zhuge Hong smiled and said: "I just don't know where the tea comes from?"
"My general has joined forces with General Wang from Juzhou to nominate the general as the leader of the five-county alliance in Southern Qingzhou to lead us to fight against the government and the army!" Wang Xian spoke eloquently: "The general has been sharpening his sword for ten years, and now he can finally use it.
Scabbard, killing all around, wouldn’t it be a joy to congratulate you?”
"Uh..." Zhuge Hong was a little confused by what he said. He looked at Wang Xiandian suspiciously and said, "Sir, wait a minute, what is this Southern Qingzhou Five County Alliance?"
"Oh, I blame the student for not explaining clearly." Wang Xian said with a faint smile: "Then I will start from the beginning. Did the general know that Zhu Wei, the commander of the Jining Guard in the Ming Dynasty, had joined forces with Gao Feng, the commander of the Qingzhou Guard?
"
"I've heard something." Zhuge Hong nodded. In fact, he had heard more than just something. His ears were almost scratched. These days, the news that Zhu Wei and Gao Feng were going to call has spread throughout Mengyin County! If there really is a fight,
Come here, Mengyin County will bear the brunt and will definitely be the first to suffer! Even though he tried his best to suppress it, he still couldn't stop the people from fleeing. Even his men were constantly encouraging him to hide in the mountains and fight guerrillas.
Zhuge Hong had just occupied Mengyin and had tasted the sweetness of being dominant. He really didn't want to abandon the city and hide in the mountains to eat the wind and drink the dew. But the situation was stronger than the others. How could he dare to attack the legendary imperial court with an egg against a stone?
An army of 50,000? The reason why they are still holding on is just to enjoy one more day...
Therefore, although Zhuge Hong spoke calmly, he kept all his energy in his heart and listened carefully to Wang Xian's words: "It is said that they have gathered 50,000 soldiers and horses to march into Qingzhou! But the main force of our sect is in Beiqingzhou.
They are so powerful that they want to take the easy part first and then the hard part, taking Southern Qingzhou first and then heading north!”
"Yeah." Zhuge Hong nodded, sighing secretly in his heart, but on his face he insisted: "Just let them come here! We have nothing else in Yimeng Mountain, but there is no shortage of bachelors and tough guys. If we fight them for 300 rounds, who will win?"
It’s still unknown!”
"Okay! General Zhuge is indeed worthy of his reputation, and my general has indeed seen the right person!" Wang Xian applauded: "It's just that the imperial court is ignorant and doesn't know how to join forces. How can we, the White Lotus Sect, not know that we have the same enemy?" After a pause,
Wang Xian stood up and held up his hands, and said with emotion: "Our five counties in Southern Qingzhou should form a fist with five fingers and work together to defend against powerful enemies! The general said, right?"
"Well, that's the truth." Zhuge Hong nodded, naturally this was what he wanted.
"It is my general who boldly proposed to form this five-county alliance! My general has always been convinced of General Zhuge's talent and is willing to recommend General Zhuge as the leader of the alliance! General, please take the overall situation into consideration and never refuse!" Wang Xian said so well.
Not only did Zhuge Hong's words boil with enthusiasm, but even his subordinates' eyes were shining brightly, staring at their own hall master, lest he refuse to shirk!
"Oh, thank you General Liu for your love. I'm just a man of few talents, so I'm afraid I won't be able to take on such a big responsibility..." Zhuge Hong naturally wanted to be the leader of the alliance, but he also had concerns. "Besides, I, Qingzhou, are the headquarters of our sect.
With Elder Tang as the leader, if we openly join forces now, I'm afraid it will make him unhappy..."
"The general's words are wrong," Wang Xian shook his head and said: "Firstly, this alliance is a temporary measure. The enemy is facing a formidable enemy. Elder Tang can't be unreasonable, right? Secondly, if the chief helmsman can send troops south,
, help us resist the official army, we don’t need to form any alliance, just in the opinion of the general, will Elder Tang send troops?"
