Chapter 103 The Golden Cone Walk (14)

In the last ten days of the twelfth lunar month, the weather was dry and cold. With the unremitting efforts of someone and the unexpected effect of a golden cone, the bandits in Mount Mangdang finally mobilized ahead of schedule. Released, everyone recommended Zhou Yi Zhou to lead everyone, according to Mr. Zhang's reliable information, to make a fortune of millions of gold and silk.

Once the irrepressible heart is released, it cannot be stopped.

According to Zhang Sanye's suggestion, in order to dispatch troops properly and march quickly, only half of the so-called "elite" bandits out of the tens of thousands of Mangdang Mountain bandits.

However, only half of the people, a mere 5000 people, had a full meal and heard that they were going to make a fortune and grab food. They hurriedly gathered in the Jiagu in the middle of Mangdang Mountain. Zhang Xing and other big leaders gathered on the cliffs tens of feet high in Dangshan Mountain. Everyone held tall horses and red cloaks, and held up huge banners with the characters "Yi". Floating in the wind, plus the real two or three hundred practitioners and years-old gangsters behind him.

The end is a good momentum.

For this, Zhang Xing can only be grateful to his boss Zhang... First, he is grateful for the inheritance left by him, and second, he is grateful for his good surname, and he doesn't even need to change the flag.

"Everyone, everyone!"

The chief leader recommended by everyone is Zhou Yi, the head of the Zhou family, and Rao has long known that he is only here to be the head of the family, and if he makes a fortune, he will be swept away, but at this time he is surrounded by people. At this point, even the menopausal Wan Doutou couldn't help but feel agitated, and almost broke his horsewhip.

"Brothers! Since you entrust your lives to me today, my old Zhou will definitely give you an explanation. First, I will take a million gold beads. If it goes well, I will take hundreds of thousands of grains from the river, and then Come back to our Mangdang Mountain to rectify for a while, and set a big foundation here!"

As soon as this remark came out, several bosses below Lou Boss were surprised—is this different from what they said?Is it really just to cheer up and fool the people below?
However, this scene cannot be left to the minds of these bosses at all. As expected, the third master Zhang did what he did in the public school early, but immediately turned around and reined in his horse, pulled out the broken knife of Jing'antai in public, and then cut The big horse under his crotch pulled hard, and he raised his knife and shouted:

"Set the foundation! Set the foundation! Follow Boss Zhou to set the foundation!"

That’s all for another family, but Zhang San’s twenty-thirty elites and Boss Zhou’s core subordinates immediately shouted, and then the core subordinates of the other big bosses didn’t know, so they could only hurriedly shout. shouting:

"Set the foundation! Set the foundation! Follow Boss Zhou to set the foundation!"

The sound was like thunder, shaking the mountains and rivers of the Central Plains, the Eastern Territory, and the Jianghuai River. It also shocked the faces of several leaders. They didn't dare to hesitate any more and joined the thunder.

On the other side, Boss Zhou was in the midst of the thunder, his cheeks were flushed for a while, and his eyes were slightly moist, as if he was feeling emotional and wanted to say something more.But in the end, he turned around abruptly, wrapped in a bright red cloak, and galloped like flying horses, leading hundreds of real bandit elites, swirling up a cloud of smoke and dust on the spot, and turned down the mountain in high spirits.

Thanks to the excellent valley terrain of Mangdang Mountain, the process of queuing up and forming the team was omitted. After about an hour, the team followed Boss Zhou and the other bosses, meandering out, heading for Huanshui in the southwest.

So far, Zhang Xing, who is in charge of the far left, has also completely relaxed.

Without him, he who has participated in large-scale organizational activities in Jing'antai knows better than anyone else that this kind of mob gathered in a hurry, even if the leaders are indeed elite and masters, once troops are sent out, they will be wrapped in a huge temporary organization. Then he will panic and lose his move.

At that time, messy things will come one after another, and the morale and hearts of the people will be entangled with each other, and it is impossible to stop easily.

Then a lot of information will be accepted and denied by people's wishful thinking, and in the end it will be rushed and defeated.

Otherwise, why should there be military drills and sophisticated military systems, as well as military law and logistics?
Thinking about the discussion yesterday, people like Zhou Yi said that as long as those Eastern border gangsters send troops, they will be coerced by the brigade, but in fact, once troops are dispatched, it is not only those Eastern border gangsters who will be kidnapped?The so-called coercion, how can there be such a thing as coercion?
Many times, people do not feel that they will be coerced by the general trend, but they have no way of knowing it, and instead think it is their own wishful thinking.

"Master Zhang, the boss of my house wants to invite you."

As soon as he was on the road, someone called to see him, and he was an important person.

And Zhang Xing didn't shirk, just let Qin Bao and Fan Chef lead the team, and he led the Xuzhou sergeant who had obviously gained status in a day or two and three or four horse-riding gangsters to quickly walk to the front of Lou Boss' queue , and shouted from a distance: "Boss Lou, what is the military order?"

Boss Lou opened his mouth to speak, but he could only shut up, and then rode up to meet him, and then said in a low voice: "Brother Zhang San, please stay here for a while... I came to you because I have something really interesting to say."

Zhang Xing immediately turned his horse around, walked side by side with the opponent, and then cupped his hands to face each other: "Boss Lou is just talking, younger brother listens carefully."

"That's right." Boss Lou replied nervously. "You heard what Zhou Yi said just now...why do I think it's wrong?"

Zhang Xing came to his senses in an instant, but he laughed while walking: "What is Boss Lou thinking? That was just a big talk when he dispatched troops. How could he rob gold and silver and then rob food? Even if he robbed, how can he gain a foothold?"

Boss Lou sighed, trying to follow the opponent with his horse's belly between his legs: "If you're not afraid of [-], you're just in case. Look how powerful this army is... and there's another key, I'm afraid you didn't expect it!"

"What's the key?" Zhang Xing pretended not to know.

"The owner of the golden cone controls the Longgang army!" Boss Lou said seriously. "As for the three masters of the Zuo family, they have developed so fast over the years. Maybe that one will be thinking about it. When the time comes, he will make a false response. He will really help a man surnamed Zhou in Mangdang Mountain. One is in the upper reaches of the Huan River, and the other is In the lower reaches of the Huan River, make a balance."

"Then what should I do?" Zhang Xing didn't stop his legs, but asked solemnly.

"I didn't think about it either." Boss Lou had no choice but to bite the bullet and say it. "But I must remind you, you must keep a solid foundation in your heart... Don't forget, although we are here to be the leader, it is all thanks to the three masters of the Zuo family."

Zhang Xing nodded, immediately closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were burning: "Boss Lou, the thing is like this, I will never forget the kindness of the left masters in my family...but today , the matter that Uncle Zuo explained, after all, he still wants to rob the million gold and silk, before this matter, he can only push Boss Zhou forward! You say, don’t you?”

Boss Lou could only nod his head: "Yes."

At this point, Zhang Xing suddenly lowered his voice: "As for the later things, I have an idea, maybe it can prevent Boss Zhou from establishing this foundation... I don't know if Boss Lou is willing to cooperate?"

"How do you say?" Boss Lou hurriedly asked.

"It's very simple." Zhang Xing spoke earnestly. "I don't understand the story of the owner of the golden cone, but to do this business this time, after all, our Master Zuo's strength is stronger, and Master Zuo's strength is our strength. If there is a day, the situation will be true That's how it looks... So we tried our best, Boss Lou asked a few other bosses, and I went to pull the lock in the east, and then we supported Boss Lou to be the real leader of Mangdang Mountain! Let Boss Lou come and stand!"

Boss Lou's heart trembled when he heard half of it, and even his fair face trembled immediately, but he suppressed the vibration and waited for the other party to finish speaking before waving his hands: "How can this be done?"

"Why can't it be done?" Zhang Xing immediately stretched out a hand and grabbed the other's swaying hand, and then his words became more and more earnest. "The words of Boss Lou just now are nothing more than saying that if Master Jinzhui intends to share the power of our three Zuo family masters in the upper reaches of Huanshui, and we can't resist, then Boss Zhou will come to Mangdang Mountain to really gain a foothold. ...And if that's the case, it's all about division of power anyway, so why can't the boss of the building be selected to divide the power? It's the three masters of the Zuo family, let them choose one, I'm afraid it's more closely related to choose the boss of the building Some, right? Du Pozhen and I can only sleep soundly if we have the relationship with you, the boss of the building!"

At the end of the conversation, Zhang Xing shook the opponent's arm again and again, while Boss Lou didn't let go, but on the other hand he just declined, but in the end he didn't say anything to be on guard against Zhou Yi.

Even after a while, when Qin Er sent someone to ask Zhang Xing to go back, the boss of this building asked someone to find a robe made of brocade, and asked Zhang Xing to take it back specially, saying that it was a token of affection.

Zhang Xing went back with the brocade robe, changed into it on the spot, and then continued to urge everyone to march.

In this way, he marched hard all day, and waited until evening, just after laying the groundwork, and sure enough, Boss Zhou came to invite... Zhang Xing didn't dare to neglect, so he hurried to see him again.

Unexpectedly, when meeting Zhou Yi, the boss just invited three or four bosses to a banquet, and he kept speaking in the middle, praising everyone's ability and merit. Drinking must be done, and he must shake his head when he hears praise, and then return with emotion, let's talk about Boss Zhou's demeanor.

After a while of drinking, Boss Zhou really gave away another good horse, and Zhang Xing also brought it back to replace it in a grandiose manner.

On the second day, early in the morning, Boss Han came to visit again, and then told a seemingly crucial piece of information.

"Didn't you receive a reply from your benefactor?" Zhang Xing, who was a little sleepy after drinking alcohol last night, met Lao Han in the camp, but he just looked sleepy. "Where is your master?"

"It doesn't matter where my benefactor is, but let's not hide it from Mr. Zhang, my benefactor is a spy in the Longgang army, so I sent my confidant Kuaishui to Longgang to find him after the night before yesterday. Man, according to the route, he should have come back in the middle of the night last night, but he hasn't returned until now." Boss Han looked anxious.

If Sima Erlong and Fu Longwei can bring your confidant back alive, they should really commit suicide by jumping into the water.

Zhang Xing sneered in his heart, but doubts appeared on his face: "Is your benefactor's spy reliable? Can he really know about this kind of important important matter? And the important military camp, can your confidants go in and respond calmly?"

Boss Han was helpless, stomped his feet, and immediately whispered to the other party's ear: "To tell the truth, Mr. Zhang, my benefactor is actually General Chen Lingchen, Yingyang Zhonglang of Longgang Army Village."

Zhang Xing was taken aback for a moment, and immediately reprimanded: "Don't coax me!"

"How can I coax you?" Boss Han was going crazy. "That's it. Your golden cone was made from keel bones after my old master went out to sea to find the dragon's corpse in the past!"

Zhang Xing thought for a while, remained silent for a long time, and finally nodded slowly amid the other party's eagerness: "If this is the case, they are all matched. No wonder Boss Lou and Boss Zhou are so confident. It turns out that the other party's military support is basically our own. People... And if this is the case, Lao Han, even if your subordinates haven't come back, what are you afraid of?"

"What?" Boss Han was surprised for a moment.

"I said, if that's the case, your subordinate didn't come back, so what are you afraid of?" Zhang Xing said disapprovingly. "Your subordinate met the death of an elite sentinel from the Jing'an Taiwan patrol team on the road, so what? Will it delay us from making this big deal? The officers and soldiers on the opposite side are all from our own family, so what is there to worry about? The whole Up and down Huanshui, except for the group of escorts at Jing'an Terrace, almost all of them are ours, so what is there to worry about?"

"This..." Boss Han couldn't refute for a moment.

"The only flaw to consider is one." Zhang Xing continued to speak seriously. "That is, did you tell your confidant our marching plan... In case your confidant is killed by the master of Jing'antai and confessed before the killing, then we can only speed up the march!"

Boss Han shook his head repeatedly: "I absolutely didn't tell him about the march, I just asked him to explain and verify the Jin Zhui matter."

Zhang Xing nodded and simply saw off the guests.

The other party had no choice but to turn around and leave.

But as soon as the people left, Zhang Xing couldn't wait to put on the brocade robe, put on the red cloak, ride on the good horse he got last night, and urged his three or four hundred people in the camp to get up and eat quickly, and then set off quickly.

Again, as long as the army moves and keeps accelerating, unless Chen Ling can fly over on the spot, no one can stop this chaotic march.

Sure enough, at noon, Boss Zhou and Boss Lou voted invalidly on Boss Han's news that "Longgang did not reply". It has already been confirmed by many parties:
Some people have indeed heard the news that the East will build a large golden pillar;

Some people have indeed heard the news that the Eight Great Families of Jiangdong were bullied and plundered by the Jinyi Dog;

More importantly, as the day approached Huanshui, all the reports from the downstream pointed out that there was indeed a large convoy escorted by the Jinyi Patrol Team who abandoned the water route and changed to a land route—of course, in order to cooperate with Zhang Xing's plan. According to the plan, Hu Yan did recruit many carts from Linhuan City, and many trackers had to leave, and went straight to Longgang.

Even, many people saw the gaffe of those Shangji County officials facing this scene.

Even when they arrived in Huanshui in the afternoon and approached Jishan, they heard that Jishan was flown by the "Yitian Sword" to prevent the dam from being built, which coincided with the news that Yitianjian would stay in the fleet as a bait.

Well, when so many news are verifying Mr. Zhang's information, just like what Mr. Zhang said to Boss Lou when he was in court that day, if the information is correct, the big business is ahead, and the other What does it matter if their messages are slightly contradictory?

What's more, Boss Han's place, I'm afraid it can only be regarded as a delay in the news among the rebellious army.

However, this evening, right in front of Huanshui, Zhang Xing still faced a real obstacle to marching—the head of Jishan Xu on the other side of Huanshui, after being beaten by the "Yitian Sword", suddenly faced the coming of the brigade The "sworn brothers" in Mangdang Mountain were unavoidably vigilant and flustered, so they refused everyone to cross a simple pontoon bridge guarded by their own family.

Now, the leaders of Zhou Da and Lou Da have personally persuaded them, while the rest of the dozen or so leaders gathered by the Huan River and stayed together, waiting for news.

But suddenly, Zhang Xing caught a glimpse of Qin Bao approaching on horseback, and hurried to meet him slightly.

"Third brother."

Qin Er carefully slapped his horse and attached his mouth. "Du Pozhen asked his deputy named Fu Boshi to send a message to me in private, saying that as long as the army crosses the Huanshui, the matter will be considered complete, and if it doesn't cross, it will change later! What he means is, you encourage me , he directly led the troops across the river, and then we followed, and no one else could stop us! The so-called break it, break it!"

Zhang Xing nodded, then turned back in silence, but ignored Du Pozhen's gaze, just looked at the sunset directly opposite him for a while, and after waiting for a quarter of an hour, he suddenly jumped on his horse and stood by the river.

He was dressed in a brocade robe, a horse with a scimitar, and a red cloak. Qin Bao knew it even more. He held an iron gun in one hand, and stood aside with a big banner in the other... In an instant, he attracted all the leaders. gaze.

"Everyone, we can't wait any longer!"

Zhang Xing stood beside Huanshui and said loudly. "I don't believe that until now, there are still people who haven't figured out what our hole card is this time... The wealth of millions of gold beads is on the other side, and the entire Huanshui Bank is full of our people. Elite, how can a black ribbon lead that little man against our [-] soldiers? But the chance is only tomorrow!"

"Master Zhang, what's the use of saying this?" Boss Zhao jokingly responded while holding the rein of the horse. "So what's the matter if you know? The lights in Mr. Xu's house are dark, and he doesn't believe it, and dare not let it go!"

"That's what I want to say. The head of Xu's family is not under the lights. He just saw that we are strong and strong, and he is afraid that we will swallow up his Jishan foundation." Zhang Xing also turned grim. "But let me tell you, it's a situation where the arrow is on the string, so what if we blatantly swallow him? Although he is a landlord, he claims to have 3000 or [-] people, but we are all elite? He ruined the future of so many of our leaders by himself? I don’t know what your leaders are thinking, but I, Mr. Zhang, took such a big risk, just for the million dollars on the other side! If you don’t leave, I'm going straight there!"

After finishing speaking, the area around the pontoon bridge was quiet for a while, no one said a word, and all the leaders were only staring at Zhang Xing, but the horse under everyone's crotch twisted and neighed continuously, implying everyone's mentality, but Zhang Xing didn't pay attention at all, just turned the horse's head, Hit the horse directly and get on the pontoon bridge.

Qin Bao also held high the banner and followed closely behind.

Seeing this, Du Pozhen turned his head and winked.

But at this moment, Boss Zhao, who had been a little impatient before, suddenly let out a long roar, and then snatched away the crowd, and leaped into the river. Cloud, but to swim to the other side in a grandiose way.

While swimming, he shouted with all his strength: "Three brilliance, four royals, and the immortal real dragon can't stop Grandpa Zhao from getting rich today! If you want to get rich, just cross the river with me, Zhao Xingchuan! Cross the river! Cross the river!"

On the east side of Huanshui, everyone was stunned for a moment, but after a while, they swarmed forward.

On the other side of the river, the Jishan bandits were caught off guard and collapsed almost instantly. Before sunset, the magpie's nest was occupied by the doves from the top and bottom of Mangdang Mountain. The head of the family, Xu, could only buy wine to make amends. .

PS: Happy New Year to everyone!
Thanks to Mr. Xiao Juer Wo for his cuteness!
Happy New Year to everyone again!Good night.
