Xiong'er Mountain is majestic, and Dagushan is a high mountain in the Xiong'er Mountain area after the two main peaks. It is isolated among the hills. After passing through a mountain road from Xiaogushan, you can directly reach the foot of Dagushan.
Lijiazhai.
Compared with Gaojiazhai, Lijiazhai is much more grand. This village is built in the middle of the hills, in front of a flat land halfway up the mountain, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and mixed with cultivated fields. Compared with other places in Xiong'er Mountain, it looks depressed and rundown.
It looks much more prosperous.
"Famous is not as good as meeting. Although I haven't met the leader of Li Hao Village yet. But just looking at the atmosphere of Li Hao Village, I know that he is a man with some skills."
When Gao Yigong heard what Li Laiheng said, he felt even more ashamed. After all, Li Hao was also suppressed by Yu Dazhong, but he was able to develop Lijiazhai so prosperously. In comparison, the situation in Gaojiazhai was
Very unusual.
However, things naturally cannot be compared simply like this. Li Hao is a local, with a deep foundation in Xiong'er Mountain, and he can be considered a local snake. Gao Yigong is a newcomer, and his strength and resources are not as good as Li's. His development is not as satisfactory, and he is also very poor.
normal.
"Here we come." Bai Wang narrowed his eyes and looked at the group of people walking out of the village gate and said, "Is that the village leader Li Hao?"
The group of people walking out was not very big, there were only about ten people, and they were no more entourage than Li Laiheng, Gao Yigong, and Bai Wang. The one walking in the middle should be Li Hao, he
He doesn't look like the heroic image Gao Yigong mentioned. Instead, he looks like a middle-aged parent whose career is not going well.
Li Hao did not tie his hair, which made him look even more depressed. In fact, if you look closely, you can see that he is not yet middle-aged, probably only in his twenties or thirties. It is just because he is very depressed and unshaven.
, only when his face is full of sorrow does he look old.
This appearance and temperament were beyond Li Laiheng's expectation. According to his imagination, Li Hao should be the kind of cheerful and heroic person, but he did not expect that his aura was so decadent.
"Brother Gao, I haven't seen you for a while." Li Hao saluted Gao Yigong with a fist, and then asked, "Are these two leaders Bai and Xiao Li who broke into the camp?"
After looking at Li Laiheng up and down for a while, he then asked: "Is Leader Li the Young Master Li who has become famous in Zhongzhou recently? We have also heard your story in Xiong'er Mountain. It is said that Young Master Li specializes in benevolent and righteous soldiers, and fights ruthlessly with ruthless soldiers.
Yu Dazhong is just the opposite. Now that Mr. Li has taken action, I think the good days of Pingfeng Village will not last long."
Li Laiheng also stepped in to return the gift and replied: "The legend of Mr. Li is just a folk song. My nickname in the camp is not 'Master Li', but 'Ruhu'. However, the way we conduct ourselves in the camp,
We are indeed completely different from Yu Dazhong. We will never kill people indiscriminately and unreasonably like him. Yu Dazhong spread rumors that we Shaanxi people came to rob you Henan people, but he himself treated the locals so cruelly. Such rumors are naturally
If you don’t attack, you will destroy it.”
"Zhai Leader Li is a smart man. You have suffered a lot from Dazhong, so you know how cruel his temper is." Gao Yigong followed, "Yu Dazhong has always had a style of eradicating the roots. Since he destroyed the Song family
Zhai, it’s impossible that he doesn’t know about your relationship with Song Jiazhai. In order to eradicate the roots, he will definitely attack Li Jiazhai.”
Li Hao laughed miserably, showed a miserable expression, and whispered: "Songjiazhai just sold more than ten dans of wheat and grass to you, Brother Gao, and was destroyed by Yu Dazhong. My father-in-law's family and my wife's brother's family were destroyed."
, died tragically in the hands of Yu Dazhong. And my only son, I mistakenly left him to play in Songjiazhai for a few days, who knew that something like this would happen? "
"Yu Dazhong and I have a blood feud. The brothers who broke into the camp need not doubt my intentions. If I don't break Pingfeng Village and kill Yu Dazhong's relatives to pay tribute to me, how can I live in this world with dignity."
The Songjiazhai was the ancestral village of Li Hao's wife. When Yu Dazhong destroyed the Songjiazhai, his parents and children happened to stay in the Songjiazhai to accompany the Yue family in their old age. They did not expect to encounter such an unforeseen disaster.
No wonder Li Hao, the heroic leader of the village, had such a gloomy and dejected temperament at this time.
Li Hao raised his arms above his head, spread his fingers, and cursed miserably: "Not only did my family, Li Hao, die in Songjiazhai, there were many in-laws in our Lijiazhai and Songjiazhai. Those who were killed by Yu Dazhong
There are fifty or sixty relatives and friends, and with this kind of hatred, can't Brother Chuangying still trust us?"
"Although there are not many soldiers and horses in Lijiazhai, there are still more than a hundred strong men. I, Li Hao, am somewhat thin-faced in Xiong'er Mountain and Nanyang Mansion. Most of my friends on the Green Forest Road in Henan can also say hello. Yu Dazhong
If you don't follow the rules of the world, how can you have the shame to accuse me of hooking up with people from Shaanxi?"
"Well said! What I, Li Laiheng, hate the most in my life are characters like Yu Dazhong. One of my deceased elders, Liu Zongmin, said in his last words before his death that when dealing with such a person who does not follow the rules of the world, he must be thoroughly punished.
If you knock him down, you will have to step on ten thousand feet and you will never be able to stand up again."
Li Laiheng thought of the more than 100 strong men Li Hao had at his disposal, and immediately felt that he did have a bit of a heroic aura. He calculated the strength in his mind. The Little Tigers had 500 men, Bai Wang had 200 men, and Gao Yigong had 100 men.
Man, now Li Hao has sent another hundred men, and the troops to conquer Xiong'er Mountain have nearly a thousand men. It is not impossible to capture Pingfeng Village.
Everyone talked very speculatively, and Li Hao was determined to take revenge and break into the camp to regain the situation from Yu Dazhong. The two parties immediately agreed on the alliance matters, and Li Hao had already prepared various items.
In the open space in front of the Lijiazhai Village, a table of Guan Gong statues was placed, with three animal sacrifices underneath.
Because Henan was still in disaster, they did not use pigs, cattle, or sheep in the formal manner, but made do with meat, fish, and eggs. The soldiers in Lijiazhai killed a chicken on the spot and dropped the chicken blood into the wine.
Then Li Hao, Li Laiheng, Gao Yigong, and Bai Wang each stabbed their blood and mixed it into the wine, stirred it evenly, first dropped three drops on the ground to honor the emperor and the queen, and then drank it each, which was regarded as a blood alliance.
After the oath was made, Li Hao welcomed the camp into Lijiazhai. They had much more supplies than Gao Yigong and prepared a lot of meat and vegetables in the village. However, Li Laiheng considered that there was no need for Lijiazhai to spend too much, so he refused several times.
After a while, he persuaded Li Hao to put away the wine and meat that seemed a bit extravagant in this disaster year.
In the end, everyone only drank a little bit of turbid wine, but Li Hao seemed to be immersed in the grief of losing his son. After drinking only two small glasses, he burst into tears and said: "Today you and I are both intoxicated."
Home is a place where guests and hosts enjoy themselves, but after the war, this table of guests is having a feast, but I don’t know how many people will be able to come back to drink again?”
Li Laiheng, Gao Yigong, and Bai Wang looked at me and I looked at you. They didn't know how to answer. Li Hao just kept to himself and cried for a while, saying, "My son is gone! How can I survive?"
What? I really want to kill Yu Dazhong! But... But Pingfeng Village is so powerful, who can win over Yu Dazhong? If we all die this time, who will cry and mourn for us?
"
"This... Master Li, you have already said that with us breaking into the camp to help, even if Pingfeng Village cannot be destroyed, the whole army will not be wiped out, right?"
Li Laiheng was shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect that Li Hao had such a personality. He didn't even have two sips of wine. Li Hao started to feel sorry for himself and even started planning his funeral after his death.
The few people who broke into the camp hurriedly began to persuade, but the more they persuaded, the more they suffered. Li Hao started to cry emotionally as he spoke. The other leaders of Lijiazhai sitting next to him seemed to be moved by the leader of the village who was crying.
Affected, they all secretly shed tears.
With this kind of morale...how can we fight a war?
Li Laiheng had a headache. Li Hao's image was so different from his imagination. He also didn't expect that Li Jiazhai lost dozens of relatives overnight. Instead of turning them into a victorious army, it was a huge blow.
The morale of Lijiazhai made them even more afraid of Dazhong.
The meal ended amidst the increasingly violent cries of everyone in Lijiazhai. Although several older leaders of Lijiazhai had already decided to follow them into the camp after they had prepared their troops, horses and food in the next two days.
Let's go attack Pingfeng Village together.
But Li Laiheng himself was retreating in his heart. Is this friendly and allied force useful? It won't end up being a hindrance, right?
On the way back to Gaojiazhai in Xiaogushan, Li Laiheng confronted Gao Yigong, and Bai Wang complained: "The leader of the village should have been a heroic hero in the past, but it seems that he has been frightened by Yu Dazhong. We cannot treat Li Laiheng."
Jiazhai has so much hope!"
Gao Yigong smiled bitterly and said: "After all, Li Jiazhai lost dozens of relatives overnight, and the grief is understandable. However, we have 800 troops of our own. To form an alliance with Li Hao, we must rely on his support.
His understanding of the geography of Xiong'er Mountain and his reputation on the Henan Green Forest Road will prevent the Henan Green Forest from repelling us."
Li Laiheng sighed and said: "That's right, we still have to deal with the war ourselves. However, the Little Tigers have been recuperating for a few months and their troops are strong. I still don't really believe that a copycat can stop the current Little Tigers."
While everyone was talking, they had already reached the vicinity of Gaojiazhai in Xiaogushan. There were many people crowding in front of Xiaoxiaozhai. Gao Yigong was naturally very familiar with his people, and he could immediately tell that many of those people were strangers.
, and immediately became vigilant.
"What's going on? So many strangers suddenly came. What went wrong with Lu Yingbiao and Feng Yangzhu!?"
Li Laiheng approached the village gate and saw Fang Yiren standing in the middle of the crowd. He immediately thought that Fang Yiren was up to something. He hurriedly walked into the crowd and saw Hao Yaoqi was there, so he pulled him over and asked.
He said: "What's going on? Where did these people come from? They have blocked the gate of Gaojiazhai, and you are still so unprepared?"
When Hao Yaoqi saw Li Laiheng and others coming back, he was happy and replied: "Hey, you are back in charge of the team. Things should be going well, right? Oh, these people came to chop wood from Chaoyang Cave, so how about that?"
Yiren started chatting with them on the roadside, which made them all faint. They all said that Puxiang Zhenren, the leader of Chaoyangdong Village, also wanted to listen to Fang Yiren's sermons!"
