Start with detective Li Yuanfang

"When the northern captives invaded, so many brothers died at the hands of the Liao dog. If you don't avenge this, you will not be human!"

"Now these envoys actually want to use me to cause trouble in Hebei? Kill one and then another, drag it down and behead it!"

"The two countries are fighting, if you don't kill the envoy, Chao Zhaizhu... Chao Zhaizhu...ah!!"

In the Baishawu lobby, Chao Gai sat in the center with a golden knife, listening to the mournful howling of the envoy sent by the Liao Kingdom, he showed a comfortable expression: "If they come again in the future, they don't have to be turned away, they will all be killed. Yes, let's drink and have fun!"

Lei Heng, who was sitting next to him, nodded: "Brother is right, he dared to cause chaos when Cai Zhifu went north to Yanyun. With such courage, Liaogou is not as good as before. We will kill as many as we come!"

The leader in the hall echoed again and again, and laughed loudly: "Go into the Liao dog camp and kill him completely!"

At this time, Han Jinsun returned to the Han family of Xiangzhou. In addition to Cai Fu and Cai Qing brothers who were born in the Daming Mansion, there was also Shi Yong who took refuge in Liao people when they went south. Hou Jian, and Zheng Tianshou, who was originally a silversmith, was fair and handsome.

As the top spot in Hebei's green forest today, the number of leaders in the hall is obviously relatively small, mainly due to the existence of the township army and Liangshan, which have separated a large number of talents, so that there are only so many people here.

Chao Gai was well aware of this, and even though military advisor Wu Yong came here often, most of his energy had been spent on the township army. It would be impossible for him to say that he didn't have any grudges in his heart, but those Liao people thought so To be able to sow discord would be to underestimate him.

However, Lei Heng's words immediately ignited the atmosphere in the hall: "Brother, we will never submit to the Liao dog, but if this continues, Hebei may not be peaceful. Instead of letting those thieves disturb the prefectures and counties and bring harm to the local area, it is better Eldest brother raised his arms and occupied the west road, how about governing the east and west with Cai Zhifu?"

The eyes of everyone in the hall lit up, and they all remonstrated: "Brother is a hero, why can't he have a place in this troubled world? As long as Big Brother rises to power, we will follow to the death!"

Faced with everyone's entrustment of life and death without hesitation, Chao Gai was greatly moved, but he hesitated in his heart.

His ideal is actually to work hard together with his brothers, hone their martial arts, eat big pieces of meat and drink in big bowls, and live a life of unrestrained and happy like this kind of green forest hero, proud of the mountains and forests, although this is also against the government and will be encircled and suppressed However, it is different from raising the flag and formally rebelling.

But looking at the eagerly looking eyes of all the brothers, he couldn't say anything if he refused to back down. Chao Gai was about to grit his teeth and live up to everyone's trust, when a voice came from outside: "The military adviser has arrived!"

Wu Yong walked in, shaking his feather fan. The leaders stood up to greet him, and Chao Gai was overjoyed: "The military adviser came at just the right time. I'm waiting for an important matter to discuss! Just now Liaogou sent an envoy here..."

After Wu Yong finished listening, he said clearly: "Brother will never listen to the barbarians. There is no need to discuss this with Xiaosheng. What you are worried about is the next situation in Hebei?"

Chao Gai laughed dryly: "Everything can't be hidden from the military advisor..."

Seeing that he hesitated, Lei Heng took over the topic and said: "Liaogou is fanning the flames everywhere, and I am afraid that Hebei will not be peaceful. With the prestige and popular support of the eldest brother, it is completely possible to reverse it. Raise a flag, what do you think the military commander wants?"

Wu Yong looked at Chao Gai, knowing that if this person is willing, he doesn't need to wait until he comes, so he can't help but sigh secretly.

He has always thought that he knows people very well. At that time, he thought that Chao Gai's heroism was enough to go farther than Lin Chong in the green forest. As a result, the latter never thought about the green forest. Chao Gai's limitations are also slowly exposed.

In troubled times, if you want to become a vassal, whether you are ambitious or short-sighted, if you want to compete for the Ninth Five-Year King, you must have the desire to be the throne of the world. If you are hesitant and push the ducks to the shelves, you will end up needless to say ...

From this point of view, Chao Gai is not even comparable to Orion Tianhu.

Wu Yong shook his feather fan lightly, and didn't answer the question directly. He happened to start from Tian Hu: "Nowadays, the west road of Hebei is really undercurrent. With Beilu’s support, great things will happen!”

"Judging from the information collected by the secret camp, this person has even prepared for auspiciousness from the sky, and even Gao Lian Gao was unfortunately captured by him. Obviously, he wants to take advantage of the opportunity to revolt, and even establish himself as a king!"

Everyone looked at each other.

So far, although wars are raging everywhere, all the leaders of the rebel army are still leaders, and no one has claimed to be king. If this Tian Hu really dares to be the first to become king, let alone what great things he can achieve, I am afraid that it will attract others to follow suit. At that time, the situation in the world will be different again...

So many people were shocked, but some people were happy. For example, Lei Heng said very excitedly: "How can this Tian Hu's prestige compare with that of the big brother? This person dares to be king, so the big brother should cheer up!"

Chao Gai was moved: "I've heard about Tian Hu, and it's really quite unbearable. If this kind of people can do something, why can't I, Chao Gai, accomplish something great?"

But at this moment, Wu Yong's voice came to his ears: "Tian Hu is a minor problem, and the township army is already prepared. When the time comes to go south to Hebei, it will definitely destroy everything!"

Chao Gai's face changed: "The township army is going to officially enter Hebei?"

Wu Yong stared at him: "Brother, the township army originally came from Hebei, this is inevitable!"

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became heavy.

During the defensive battle of Daming Mansion, the Liao army led an elite counterattack. Chao Gai was careless and was breached in the cottage. It was Hua Rong who led the township corps to rescue him. At that time, the difference in combat effectiveness between the two sides was highlighted.

What's more, the current township army is already a bloody battle with the Liao army, which has prevented the Liao country from counterattacking and capturing Yanyun's army. If they turn around and face their mob, wouldn't they be bullying?
Chao Gai gave a wry smile, and his desire to rebel and become king instantly disappeared: "Lin Yiyong dominates Yanyun, and is praised by the people of all prefectures and counties. He should come to be king. I ended up carefree and carefree..."

The others didn't respond either, and Lei Heng muttered angrily: "Could it be that the only way to go is to vote in Suian Academy?"

Wu Yong looked at Lei Heng. When Zhu Dian went to the academy, he wanted to invite him to join him, but he was rejected. Now there are too many people who want to enter Suian Academy, and it is no longer his turn.

But Chao Gai, Lei Heng, and Zhu Dian, who will come out of Dongxi Village, were also designed by him in the past. Thinking of what the chief coach emphasized, doing things should have a beginning and an end. , don’t be a queen, in today’s world, the elder brother is also a hero, why should he be in trouble here?”

Chao Gai sighed: "To tell you the truth, after Lin Yiyong regained Yanyun, I did have plans to go elsewhere. Not long ago, two brothers Mu Hong and Mu Chun came to visit the cottage and invited me to rectify the southern green forest, but declined."

"Not to mention that I, the Heavenly King of Tota, have a reputation spread in Hebei and Shandong. Even if a northerner goes to the south, he will definitely not be able to adapt to the climate there. If he really wants to go south, he will return home in the end!"

Wu Yong agreed: "The south is indeed not a good place to go, but brother also has two choices, the first is to go to Taiyuan in Hedong, and the second is to go to Guanzhong."

Chao Gai was startled when he heard that: "Hedong and Guanzhong..."

Wu Yongdao: "Hedong is close to Hebei, and the local people must have heard of the elder brother's reputation. This is an advantage. The disadvantage is that the Western Army will return. I am afraid that I will face the front of the imperial court. If I am not careful, I will become the first one." Objects to be annihilated."

"Although Guanzhong now has a rebel army named Wuhu, its power is the smallest. This is also because Guanzhong is short of food and rice. Although there are dangers in the mountains and rivers, it has no strength to march into the Central Plains."

Chao Gai asked strangely: "What do you mean? Isn't Guanzhong the capital of the former Tang Dynasty? If it's true that the world is against each other, wouldn't it be a great advantage to occupy this place?"

Wu Yong did not understand something at first, but it was not until Sui'an Academy that his vision broadened: "Guanzhong used to be so prosperous. From the Western Han Dynasty to the former Tang Dynasty for nearly a thousand years, most dynasties chose Chang'an and Luoyang to establish their capitals because of Chang'an. There are fertile Guanzhong and Weishui Plains, which can achieve self-sufficiency, and there are also geographical risks. Luoyang has the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, with convenient water transportation, and its influence is enough to radiate the Central Plains..."

"But precisely because of this, due to the demand for arable land, too many forests have been cut down, and over-exploitation has made the land fertility of the Guanzhong Plain reach its limit. Large tracts of desert have also appeared in the Longyou area of ​​Hexi, which has accelerated the development of the Guanzhong area. The loess turned, and the grain production in Guanzhong became less and less."

"Due to the rapid population growth during the Sui Dynasty, Guanzhong has changed from a grain-producing area to a place that needs food imports. It was even worse in the Tang Dynasty. The emperor would take his officials to Luoyang for food. Now, there has been If you can't bear the burden of the political center at all, you will definitely be marginalized..."

Chao Gai was stunned, but still felt strange: "Since Guanzhong is no longer its former glory, how can I talk about development when I go to Guanzhong?"

Wu Yong said more directly: "Brother has no ambition to win the Ninth Five-Year Plan. If he can go to Guanzhong, destroy Wuhu, stabilize the local situation, and protect one side's peace, then wait and see the world."

"In the future, if a real dragon emperor is born, the eldest brother will lead all his brothers to surrender and become a vassal, and he will be honored as a marquis and won a reward. On the top, he will be worthy of the people's society, and on the bottom, he will fulfill the righteousness of brothers. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"

Feeling Wu Yong's intentions, Chao Gai was moved, and finally became clear about the road ahead, clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Military Advisor, I understand!"

……

at the same time.

In Songjiazhuang, Yuncheng County.

Mu Hong Muchun, who wanted to vote for Chao Gai but was rejected, bowed down to a man: "Brother Gongming!"

Song Jiang's swarthy face was full of red light, and he skillfully helped the two of them up: "Please get up quickly, please get up quickly!"
