Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 247 Daoist Wei

Douzigang.

After beheading the commander-in-chief of the army, the military discipline of the government soldiers was restored.

After breaking through this stockade, the harvest is even more gratifying.As a collection village where Liu Badao traded and sold salt, a large amount of salt, money and silk were stored here, and even a lot of weapons and horses were stored here.

Wang Ziming, who joined the army, was holding a scroll and excitedly reported the harvest to Luo Cheng.

"There are more than 1000 stones of salt alone, and more than 100 stones of grain. There are also more than 70 iron kettles for boiling salt, more than [-] horses and mules for transporting salt, and hundreds of various weapons and guns were seized. More than [-] pieces, more than [-] bows and crossbows, and thousands of arrows. In addition, there are about a thousand copper coins, more than three thousand pieces of silk, and a lot of gold and silver. There are also thousands of livestock. In addition, more than five hundred salt people have fled. People, more than [-] bandits were captured, and more than [-] were beheaded, a great harvest.”

When Luo Cheng heard this, his eyes lit up.

This Liu Badao is indeed rich.When others are thieves, they are too poor to get rid of the pot, but he is a thief, but he is rich.Sure enough, making salt and selling salt was as lucrative as drug selling in ancient times, especially since Liu Badao took over the entire Douzigang and monopolized the salt making and selling here, he made a lot of money every day.

"What to do with so much salt?"

"Organize the captured thieves and captured fugitives, and let them transport the seized salt, grain, money, silk, etc. back to Lujiao Pass."

"With so many things, wouldn't it be cheaper for them to send them to Lujiao Pass?" said the fourth child.

"According to the agreement, all the proceeds from the suppression of the bandits belong to us. The money, food, livestock, horses and mules are all ours. Of course, the captives are handed over to Liu Zhen to exchange money and food. They want to take advantage of it, but we have to let us eat meat." Others drink some soup, eating alone will not bring good results." Luo Cheng didn't want to monopolize all the benefits, after all, even if Wang Lushuai was chopped off by him, they still did their best on behalf of the antlers.

In the depths of Douzigang.

Uncle Thief Liu Badao held a jujube nail, swiped left and right, and knocked down the two swords, guns, swords and halberds on the weapon rack, but he still couldn't vent his anger.

"Zhangqiu Luocheng, I will grass your ancestors."

It is true that people sit at home, and disasters come from heaven.

Originally, Liu Badao monopolized Douzigang, and he had accumulated tens of thousands of horses here, and monopolized the profit of salt production and sales in Douzigang. He lived a carefree life, and even the town soldiers at Lujiaoguan on the side were trembling.

But now, Luo Cheng, who was passing by, swept several of his villages in a row.

Fifty here, one hundred and two hundred there, he lost more than 1000 men in the blink of an eye, not to mention destroying several salt workshops and salt villages, and the lost salt storage was nearly three thousand shi, not to mention the thousands of salt stored everywhere. Thousands of grains, thousands of coins and silk were all gone, and thousands of fugitives who boiled salt for him were also taken away.

Uncle can bear it, and aunt can't bear it anymore.

These are all his hard-earned family fortunes.

Even if the money and food came easily and the salt dealers were profitable, they couldn't stand such a toss.

Besides, if he just lost a little money, he wouldn't be so angry. The key is that this Luo Cheng is here to kill him, and he has no intention of stopping at all.

"My lord, I found out. This Luo Cheng was invited by General Liu Zhen when he passed through the Lujiao Pass. They made an appointment to attack Douzigang, and all the gains will go to Luo Cheng, and our brothers and Yan If he is captured by the people, he can exchange money and food with him. This man surnamed Luo became his thug."

"Grass!"

Liu Badao was furious.

"Send me an order to call the brothers from all villages, and let's destroy this Luo Cheng."

"No."

A young Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe shook his head and objected.

"Although this Luo Chengbing is only a thousand soldiers, he was able to destroy many of my villages in just a few days, and every time he did it all in one go, and he didn't even run out of a messenger. What does this mean? Explain the name of Zhangqiu White Tiger , not in vain.”

"Old Taoist Wei, don't let other people's prestige come to you." A strong man said.

"No, no, the old man didn't grow his prestige, Luo Cheng, and destroy Liu's ambition to be the head of the family. It was Luo Cheng who went deep into Douzigang with only a few hundred men, but it was like entering a land without people, attacking strongholds and breaking workshops all the way. Can be stopped, no one can escape, doesn't that explain the problem? Luo Cheng is a fierce tiger with the head down, and his sharp edge is in full swing."

Liu Badao said angrily, "Could it be possible that I still want to avoid him, and then I will give up the foundation that I have worked so hard to build?"

The Taoist surnamed Wei said, "Actually, what Master Liu said is a very good way. Although Luo Cheng is fierce, he is just a crossing road tiger after all. As far as I know, he was ordered by the Ministry of War to bring Zhangqiu Changbai Mansion 600 soldiers from the government went north to Zhuojun to conquer Liaodong. Since he was passing by, he couldn’t stay here for a long time. He also had to arrive in Zhuojun in a hurry. If he missed the time, he would also be punished by military law. So , as long as Director Liu issues an order to let the people in the various villages avoid Luo Cheng for the time being, then Luo Cheng will naturally have to withdraw in a short time, and it is impossible for him to stay here with us."

"My surname Wei, what nonsense are you talking about? Our uncle's thief claims to be over 600, so why should we be scared by Luo Cheng's [-] people and hide everywhere? Then how will we mess around in this Jianghu?"

Taoist Wei said with a chuckle, "Don't say that Xiaodao's words are ugly. Although you claim to be over ten thousand, it's just a name. Luo Cheng's six hundred soldiers are real, and they are not the group of criminals from Lujiaoguan. Ordinary idiots are useless, but they are the real elite. In Henan, they wiped out the bandits in Changbai Mountain and the bandits in Onozawa. Although they are passing by now, they really have to fight. Uncle thief may not be able to fight, even if they win Now, if you put all your wealth into it, what's the deal?"

"I don't believe it anymore." Liu Badao was so indignant that he couldn't listen to Taoist Wei's words.

"Master Liu, Xiaodao advises you not to be too impulsive, or let Xiaodao go to see Luo Cheng, maybe you can persuade him to withdraw his troops."

Liu Badao frowned, "How could Luo Cheng withdraw after hearing your few words?"

"A few words and a few words are definitely not enough. If Master Liu can agree to my conditions, maybe it will be done."

"What conditions?"

"Prepare a gift for Luo Cheng and let him retreat?"

Liu Badao laughed angrily, and wants to give Luo Cheng a gift?

"What gift?"

"The gift must be less, otherwise Luo Cheng will not be tempted, but it doesn't need to be too much, it is better to give Luo Cheng 300 taels of gold, and send Luo Cheng a hundred horses, plus Xiao Dao's three-inch tongue, it will definitely explain his retreat. "

"Impossible, why should I give Luo Cheng 300 taels of gold and a hundred horses?" This is a lot of money, no matter how rich Liu is, he is not so generous.

"Don't talk about it, I can't give Luo Cheng money, come here, send Taoist Wei to me, and give him ten taels of gold as money." Liu Badao originally admired this young Taoist surnamed Wei, and felt uneasy. The Taoist priest who was born was quite talented, but now he was extremely disappointed, and he no longer wanted to keep him.

"Hurry up and inform Li Deyi and Ge Qian, the two heads of the family, and ask them to gather brothers. I'm going to kill Luo Cheng!"

Seeing that Liu Badao didn't listen to his opinion at all, Taoist Wei could only smile helplessly.

After leaving Liu Badao's meeting hall, Taoist Wei got on his donkey and left after receiving a package of ten taels of gold.

Some of them rode their donkeys aimlessly to the north, preparing to return to their hometown, but after riding out for a long time, they were surrounded by several riders who appeared suddenly.

Seeing their malicious appearance, especially the leather armor on their bodies, Taoist Wei rolled his eyes, "These should be Luo Sima's scout Qingqi, just right, I'm going to meet Luo Sima, please lead me the way!"
