In ancient feudal society, men were extremely favored over women, and women were a type of property.
In the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei once said a classic saying, that is, women are like clothes and men are like limbs. When clothes are torn, they can be sewn; when limbs are broken, they can be repaired.
It can be seen that in the relationship between brothers, women are not a problem!
Now, Zhang Kui's questioning is just trying to flatter Pork Gui, saying that the friendship between them is not as good as that of a woman.
In fact, Zhang Kui's target was Sun Mo. He had received orders from the boss and deliberately came to embarrass Sun Mo.
"This is the wife of the fourth leader, how dare you do this?"
Pork Gui's eyes bulged with anger, and he picked up a bench.
"Brother, stop arguing, I'm fine!"
Mei Niang tugged at Zhu Pogui's clothes and wanted to settle the matter because she was worried about missing Sun Mo's important event.
"Sister-in-law!"
Just as Zhu Zhugui wanted to say some words of comfort, Sun Mo's voice rang out: "I have the final say whether anything is going to happen!"
"Oh, domineering!"
Xu Hong turned around and saw a young man who was too young, separated from the crowd and walked in.
Four bosses!
The bandits in Zhaoshan bowed their heads and saluted.
Hearing this title, Zhang Kui sighed and spit out a big mouthful of phlegm. He had been in Shanzhai for five years. According to his seniority, this position should be his.
"Mei Niang!"
Sun Mo looked at Mei Niang who was holding back tears, and felt very sorry. A married woman, no matter how bad her life was, could still have enough food and clothing, but she ended up suffering in this village because of herself.
"Zhang Kui, if you have any dissatisfaction with me, just come to me. What's the point of bullying my wife?"
Sun Mo scolded.
"Brother Sun said something serious. I just had a few words with my sister-in-law. Who knew that she disliked my identity as a bandit and was unwilling to pay attention to me, so we had a few arguments."
Zhang Kui is not stupid either.
It was Mei Niang's fault that she deliberately exchanged teasing for being looked down upon. If Sun Mo continued to pursue the case, it would appear that he was narrow-minded.
If you don't pursue it, it will definitely be as uncomfortable as eating shit.
"If she dislikes thieves, she won't follow me!"
Sun Mo snorted coldly: "Speaking of which, you don't just eat and wait for death every day, but also rob some merchants who make hard money. Not to mention my wife, even I look down on you."
"If you have the ability, go kill those landlords and wealthy businessmen!"
Being bullied in public, Zhang Kui's face suddenly turned ugly: "Do you have the guts to say another word?"
Pooh!
Sun Mo spat and said harshly: "I don't quarrel, I only kill people!"
"Okay, the fourth master is domineering!"
The bandits who were watching suddenly cheered.
"Just hit me. If I accidentally kill you, don't complain!"
Zhang Kui sneered.
The big boss said that by killing Sun Mo, not only would he be given the position of fourth boss, but he would also be in charge of the Red Scarf Army from now on.
Simply delicious!
Zhang Kui has wanted this armed force for a long time. With them, he can fight whose village he wants to fight, and he can sleep with whose mother-in-law he wants!
"Is Mr. Sun too trusting?"
Many people looked puzzled.
Zhang Kui has a big waist and a round waist, and is almost 1.9 meters tall. In ancient times, he was the kind of fierce general who would have one man in charge. On the other hand, Sun Mo had a bookish look.
"This guy is dead!"
Pork is expensive, hehe, he has seen what Brother Sun is capable of.
"Are you ready?"
Zhang Kui couldn't wait to hold the tiger-headed sword. After Sun Mo nodded, he sprinted. His huge body was directly enveloped in a gust of wind and stirred up the sand and dust on the ground.
"die!"
Zhang Kui shouted loudly and cut him off with one knife!
Sun Mo was like a ghost, dodging the killing blow and appearing beside Zhang Kui, his Yan Fei Dao strangely wiping out a streak of silver light.
"What?"
Zhang Kui was shocked, and without caring about his face, he quickly retreated to dodge, but he was still half a beat too late.
Whoosh!
The steel knife cut through his neck, and a bloody arrow spurted out immediately.
"Ganli Niang, are you so fierce?"
The onlookers were shocked.
Whoosh!
Sun Mo cut off Zhang Kui's arm with another strike.
"Spare...spare my life..."
Zhang Kui was heartbroken and hurriedly begged for mercy.
Because only by facing off against Sun Mo can you feel his terror.
"waste!"
The boss, who was hiding in the dark to spy on the situation, cursed and rushed out: "Brother Sun Xian, stop it!"
Zhang Kui is his right-hand man in maintaining his status as a copycat, so he cannot watch him die.
Whoosh!
Sun Mo's steel knife stopped at Zhang Kui's neck.
"Brother Sun Xian, we are all brothers, why should we be so harsh?"
The boss seemed confused, but he was actually hinting to everyone that Sun Mo did not treat everyone as brothers.
"Zhang Kui, why are you harassing my wife?"
Sun Mo's tone was cold, like the biting cold wave of the twelfth lunar month in winter, which made Zhang Kui's skin freeze: "Don't rush to answer, you only have one chance!"
Zhang Kui looked into Sun Mo's eyes and swallowed the lies on his lips.
"The boss asked me to do it!"
Sun Mo looked at him as if he were looking down at a wild dog or an ant. He showed no mercy and was the kind to be crushed to death casually.
"What are you talking nonsense about?"
The boss was panicked.
"I...I can't help it!"
Zhang Kui was really scared. It turns out that death is such a terrifying thing.
"Master, if you have any dissatisfaction, just say it directly and don't do such petty tricks."
Sun Mo smiled bitterly and assumed the posture of the victim, hoping to attract sympathy.
"Brother Sun Xian, I was the one who took you in when you were desperate!"
The subtext of the boss is that I sold Sun Mo a great favor, and he is being ungrateful by targeting me now.
"Master, I don't like hearing what you are saying. If you don't keep Brother Sun, someone else will. It should be said that we got a big deal!"
Pork Gui had a loud voice: "Without Brother Sun, how could our village afford white rice for every meal?"
Gudu!
Hearing this, many people swallowed their saliva. It turned out that the Zhaoshan bandits lived such a luxurious life!
"Master, it's useless to talk too much. Let's see the result with a knife, right?"
Sun Mo suggested.
"Well!"
The boss subconsciously glanced at Zhang Kui and said to himself, I have lost my mind and I won't fight you.
Why!
I had exhausted all the traps, but I didn’t expect that Sun Mo could fight so well!
Zhang Kui felt the knife on Sun Mo's neck and pressed it down. He instinctively raised his head and met Sun Mo's eyes.
At that moment, Zhang Kuifu understood in his heart.
If you want to survive, you have to kill the boss. There is no other way.
Just when Zhang Kui was struggling, Sun Mo kicked him.
boom!
Zhang Kui rolled towards the head master, then plucked onions from dry land, jumped up, and slashed at the head master's neck.
"It's all you who provokes feelings among our brothers!"
Zhang Kui shouted: "I am really blind before I recognize you as my eldest brother!"
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Zhang Kui slashed with his sword.
"Without virtue, how can you deserve the title of master? How can you afford thousands of lives in Shanzhai?"
Pork Gui shouted loudly and came over to kill him.
In the crowd, there were many red scarf soldiers who came in the name of Sun Mo. They had long disliked the leader, so they didn't waste any time and rushed over one by one with their swords drawn.
The boss was in a panic, and all the blood drained from his face in an instant.
"Sun Mo...I am willing to give up my position as the head of the family!"
It was too late, dozens of knives were used to cut his body into pieces and chop him into pieces.
Most of the people gathered around the party, watching the fun and applauding, but those with brains like Xu Hong knew that big trouble was coming.
A ruthless person like Sun Mo would never be willing to hide in a small village.
Sure enough, after the dinner, Sun Mo came to visit.
"Would you like to join our copycat?"
Sun Mo got straight to the point.
"I'm doing fine so far!"
Xu Hong declined.
"Oh, then there is no other way. It seems that I can only talk to you, the third master."
Sun Mo shrugged his shoulders.
When Xu Hong heard this, his expression changed: "What do you mean?"
"Kill your big boss, you bring everyone in the village to vote, I will give you a top position, and then we will all get rich together."
Sun Mo smiled: "Of course, if you don't want to, then I will talk to other leaders."
Xu Hong's face was covered in cold sweat.
This Sun Mo is so cruel!
How many useful brains do thieves have? There are really people who believe this and come to join Sun Mo. After all, the Red Scarf Army is now at its peak.
Every few days, everyone can hear that the Red Scarf Army has opened another village and looted a lot. Who doesn't want to live this day?
"Can I think about it?"
Xu Hong played the trick of dragging.
"Yes, but I will wait a week at most and then contact other people in your cottage. Also, the time you bring your head to vote will determine which top spot you sit in the cottage!"
Sun Mo patted Xu Hong on the shoulder: "You are a smart man, you should know that you have no choice!"
Xu Hong smiled bitterly.
There is no choice!
Because if you don’t do it yourself, someone else will.
Why!
Damn it, Pang Jili, why did he force Sun Mo into committing suicide?
These eight hundred miles of water will never have a peaceful day again.
The next time was just as Xu Hong expected.
Some thieves felt that the life of the Red Scarf Army was too good, so they assassinated the leader and brought a group of people with similar aspirations to join him.
There were also loyal bandits who told Sun Mo's scandal, but it was useless. There were other people in the village who followed Sun Mo.
For a time, the factions in each village were suspicious of each other, and the long-standing conflicts were triggered.
Someone spent a lot of money to buy Sun Mo's life, but among the Zhaoshan bandits at this time, the Red Scarf Army already numbered more than half, and the rest were training hard and eager to join.
As the Red Scarf Army continued to plunder, its military strength and prestige expanded rapidly, and people in Jiangzhou began to call Sun Mo King Sun.
At this time, there were no desperadoes who dared to take the deal.
Being famous means having charisma, not to mention that Sun Mo's words are still upright and upright.
In the past, thieves and bandits did not dare to tell their real names because they would bring shame to their parents and ancestors, but now, everyone feels honored to do so.
Because what we are killing are landlords and bullies, and we are robbing the rich and giving to the poor. We are thieves and rebels!
When Sun Mo becomes big, the most unlucky people will naturally be the officers and soldiers.
The governor of Jiangzhou has issued strict orders to wipe out these bandits.
The Eight Hundred Mile Water Pond is so big, where can we arrest people? Moreover, the Red Turban Army is so powerful that they have now begun to attack some small counties.
In order to cope with the governor's accusations, these officers and soldiers began to buy heads from Sun Mo at a high price.
The owners of these heads are the heads of various cottages. They are the people who came to seek refuge with Sun Mo and brought the certificates of surrender.
This is a scarce commodity and there is no need to worry about selling it, so Sun Mo doesn’t want money, just arms.
When the governor heard the good news one after another and felt that the bandit forces were suppressed and the situation was great, Sun Mo integrated nearly half of the bandit forces and captured Sanjiang County.
This is the most important grain-producing area in Jiangzhou, and it also bears one-tenth of Jiangzhou's taxes. As a result, all the grain reserves have been looted by Sun Mo.
With food and grass in hand, Sun Mo did not stop his attack, but pressed forward every step of the way. At one point, he led two thousand soldiers and horses to the gates of Jiangzhou City.
Although the city was not attacked, the officials and landlords in the city were frightened.
…
Cottage, evening, banquet.
"No one mentioned Zhao'an?"
Sun Mo ate a peanut and was very unhappy.
"Governor Zhang is an iron-blooded hawk, and things like Zhao'an are very troublesome. He doesn't want to be our guarantor!"
The third master explains.
The governor of a province could not suppress the water bandits, and ended up with Zhao'an suing for peace. This was the greatest denial of Governor Zhang's ability, so he kept suppressing various memorials sent to the court, hoping to wipe out Sun Mo in the shortest possible time.
.
However, Sun Mo refused to confront the governor's army head-on. After all, Zhao'an was his goal.
"Hmph, I will give this governor a long memory tomorrow!"
Sun Mo sneered.
Three days later, Sun Mo took his people to Zhuojun, a town near Jiangzhou, and robbed a million taels of tax money.
This amount of money is not much, but it is enough to cause a stir in both the government and the public.
Governor Zhang could suppress his subordinates from writing memorials, but he could not control the officials of Zhuo County. As a result, the reputation of the Red Scarf Army reached heaven.
In order to shirk responsibility, the prefect of Zhuo County said it was all Governor Zhang's incompetence and allowed the thieves to grow bigger.
So the emperor dismissed Governor Zhang and appointed a new governor, who must destroy the rebel army and recover the tax money within a month.
Sun Mo was very satisfied with this result.
If you don't show off your authority and don't scare your enemies, why should they order you to be safe?
Sun Mo began to take a preemptive strike and started guerrilla warfare. He did not engage in direct confrontation with the imperial army. At the same time, he asked people to spread the news that the army had decided to kill all the peasants who had taken food from the landlords for military glory.
Killing good people and claiming merit is a traditional skill of the imperial generals, so for a time, more people joined the Red Scarf Army.
Naturally, there were some who were waiting and watching, but the sinister Sun Mo added fuel to their fire.
He let his confidants wear the clothes of imperial soldiers, arrest people, kill people, and do all kinds of bad things. After slaughtering several villages, the people's hearts in Jiangzhou were completely unstable.
Finally, seven months after Luocao became a bandit, Sun Mo had an army of 100,000, counting only the heads.
The autumn harvest was delayed, and the farmers who had no food to eat saw winter coming. They had no choice but to join Sun Mo, and his power expanded even more.
One winter later, the entire Jiangzhou City was completely destroyed by Sun Mo.
Not only was he unable to pay taxes, but he also had to receive aid from the court, and Sun Mo was also very lucky. There was a locust plague in the north, and the foreign tribes wanted to go south to plunder.
Finally, a big boss spoke up. Why should we spend money and food to fight a problem that can be solved by giving these thieves a few official positions?
The third prince even wrote directly that Sun Mo, the thief leader, was forced to become a thief by Grand Master Pang's beloved grandson. Otherwise, with his talent and learning, he would be very likely to become a second-ranked Jinshi by taking part in the imperial examination this year.
The party struggle in the court began, and Taishi Pang resigned sadly. The third prince, as a representative, went to Jiangzhou to summon Sun Mo.
At this point, Sun Mo was only one step away from his goal.
