Three Kingdoms in a box

Chapter 138 Captain Pan’s ‘arrogance’

This was the first time Tian Feng heard about the Six Bandits of Julu. He was a little curious. He looked at the government servant in front of him and said, "Yes, those six bandits actually gained such a great reputation?"

Hearing this, the yamen servant said: "Tian County Magistrate, I really don't know. Then I will tell the County Magistrate."

"We Julu are the main trade route for the entire Jizhou, including Youzhou, and we are entrenched in this land. Relying on our Julu as a mountain, we built strongholds, designated the land as kings, gathered the refugees and grass bandits, and finally This has formed the current situation of the Six Bandits in Julu."

"As for Han Fu, Commander Han once sent troops to encircle and suppress these bandits. Originally, the strength of a single bandit could still destroy them, but after those bandits were attacked by the imperial court, they began to form a group. Commander Han suffered a big loss that time. Since then, it has been impossible to organize a qualified attack force.”

"And this battle also made these six bandits become a climate, entrenched in the mountains and forests, known as the Six Bandits."

"They specialize in robbing the caravans that pass through the Julu, which can be said to be a disaster to the Julu!"

"And after so many years of development, these six bandit families have become very powerful. Each family has about seven to eight hundred troops, and some may have thousands. They usually travel across the state and government very arrogantly."

"Compared to them, this Jitou Mountain Peak is considered a new force and is not taken seriously by them at all."

The yamen servant sighed, and then Tian Feng's expression became ugly: "Are these bandits really so arrogant?"

The Yamen servant nodded and said: "It's absolutely true. Fortunately, they also know that the Han army is not easy to mess with. Although they usually run rampant, they also know not to cause trouble to the government, so they have been at peace with the government these years. But these guys are against Green Forest Road is very ruthless. In the past few years, if there is a slight rise in power in Julu, they will intervene and either recruit people as their copycats or directly eliminate them!"

"So in these years, no big bandit force has developed in Julu. Unexpectedly, Jitou Mountain has survived from the cracks. I have to say that the Panshan Dragon of Jitou Mountain is a character!"

As the officer spoke, Tian Feng's eyes became brighter and brighter as he smiled and said, "Oh, these bandits are also suppressing the new little bandits."

The yamen officer nodded, and Tian Feng smiled and said, "Interesting."

Tian Feng's mouth curled up slightly after hearing this. He was worried that he had no way to deal with the bandits in Jitoushan, but he didn't expect that the yamen servant would tell him the way so quickly. Yes, this is indeed a good way!
The trouble is moving eastward, and he can completely push the boat with the tide. When he comes to drive away the tiger and devour the wolf, let the so-called Six Bandits of Julu take action to kill the Jitou Mountain. And the Jitou Mountain is obviously not easy to be killed. When the time comes, , the two sides are in the same situation, and both sides will suffer. Wouldn't you be able to reap the benefits?

Ha ha……

Tian Feng thought with a smile on his face. As a wise man, he must find a way to break the situation in a desperate situation. Tian Feng is not good at quick wits, but if you let him think for a while, he will not be confident. He will lose to any strategist in the world!
But now I have found a good way to drive away tigers and devour wolves, without spending a single soldier on my own, but making the enemy pay a heavy price. This is the highest level of strategy. The right way is to use the strategy to defeat the enemy, and use it to do things. Idea wisdom!

Tian Feng thought about it, then looked at the government officer and said, "Then who are these six bandits?"

After hearing this, the officer said: "Sir, wait a moment!"

After saying that, the bandit walked out quickly, then took out a map and threw it on the table and said: "Please take a look, sir."

He pointed to a location on the map and said: "This is Ruyi Mountain. The owner of the village is named Bo Cai. He is good at using a black iron gun. He has outstanding martial arts skills and is known as the Blue Horse Black Spear Bo Yama King!"

"Blue Horse, Black Spear, and King of Hell, what a domineering name."

The yamen servant said: "The village is located on the main commercial road of Julu, and he is also the first to occupy the mountain as the king. He is very famous. There should be seven or eight hundred soldiers and horses in the village, and all of them are strong. He is a difficult character. "

Tian Feng nodded and remembered it in his mind. At this time, the Yamen officer pointed to one place and said: "Look here, this place is called Shuangqiu Mountain. There is a king named Mingyue Guanhai in the mountain. He is very powerful. He is known as the King of the Mountain. He is good at using a broadsword. One person controls a mountain, and even Bo Cai is very afraid of this person, so Shuangqiu Mountain has developed very rapidly in the past few years, and he is vaguely like the leader of the Six Bandits."

Tian Feng nodded and continued to look at the map, while the Yamen officer continued: "Your Excellency, look at this place again, Woniugang. There are also two kings occupying this place. They are a pair of father and son. His father's name is Zhang Niujiao, who is from the direction of Heishan. The one who escaped will dominate the mountain and become the king after he comes here. He is very brave and nicknamed the Black Bull. He is a rare tiger general and must take the lead in every battle!"

"However, in the past few years, the affairs of their cottage have been gradually handed over to his adopted son. His adopted son's original name was Chu Yan. Because of his excellent light skills, he could fly between the bandits like a flying swallow during battle, so he also It’s called Feiyan.”

"Of course, since he is Zhang Niujiao's adopted son, some people also say that he has changed his surname and is now named Zhang Yan."

"Chu Feiyan, Zhang Yan."

Tian Feng murmured, and then looked at the yamen servant. The yamen servant thought for a while and said: "By the way, this Woniugang was not called Woniugang before, but was called Xiaoligang. But later, when Zhang Niujiao came, , and gradually everyone changed its name to Woniugang."

Tian Feng looked at the Yamen servant and said, "Tell me the important point."

The officer immediately smiled and said, "Yes."

Then the Yamen servant pointed to another place and said: "This place is called Sand Dune, and there are two masters on it. The eldest master is named Zhang Mancheng, and the master is named Cheng Zhiyuan. There is not much to introduce about these two people, they are just the two masters. He is a veteran bandit with average strength, but not very powerful."

"Here in Bijia Mountain, there is a kind of king called Guo Tai. This person is average in strength, but he is the first to start. He is also very tactful and bullies the weak and fears the strong. In addition, this person has learned some Taoism from somewhere, so he also occupies this place. Heel, and this person has the biggest temper, he is a very face-conscious person, and he is greedy. If he relied on the two magic arts in his hands, he would have been wiped out by other forces."

When Tian Feng heard this, his eyes lit up. People with such short-sightedness are the best to sow discord. Thinking of this, Tian Feng silently beat up Mrs. Guo. This person is the best person to take advantage of.

At this time, the yamen officer said: "Finally, this is Dingxing Mountain. The king of this mountain is named Zhao Xing. He is a prisoner who escaped from prison. He gathered a group of people and later occupied the mountain road. He dared to fight and his attacks were ruthless and dark, hence the name. , whose strength is not as good as Mrs. Guo, is just a make-up. If it hadn’t been for the last time when Commander Han gathered his troops to attack Ruyi Mountain, this kid sent troops to help Bo Cai, and Bo Cai accepted a favor from him, and his group of forces would have been there long ago. He was defeated!"

After hearing this, Tian Feng said: "So, among the six major forces, the most powerful ones are Bo Cai from Ruyi Mountain, Guan Hai from Shuangqiu Mountain, and Zhang Niujiao and Chu Feiyan from Woniugang?"

The officer said: "Well, it can be said that because these people are powerful people, the bandits brought out are also very powerful in combat, not even weaker than the well-trained county soldiers!"

After hearing this, Tian Feng nodded and said: "Well, that's right. Well, help me pay attention these days to see if there are any familiar people in the green forest following the mountains. If so, find him and give him some money." , let them help me send some messages back."

After hearing this, the officer was stunned, looked at Tian Feng and said, "Sir, do you want to use the strategy of driving away tigers and swallowing wolves?"

Tian Feng smiled and said, "Is there any more useful strategy than this?"

The officer nodded and said, "It's your lord, I understand. I will send someone to find someone who meets the requirements."

The yamen officer nodded and left. Tian Feng chuckled and said: "The Six Bandits of Julu, this is really the road to heaven and earth!"...

Ma Yuanyi quickly left the county seat and passed the news directly to Jitoushan. Yan Liang was a little disappointed when he saw that Gao Jun really agreed to exchange hostages. What a shameless thing this big official did for his own benefit. They do everything, even making deals with bandits.

Yan Liang sighed and shook his head, but he didn't care and continued to train soldiers. Yan Liang knew one thing very well, that is, he shot the first bird. This time, he showed his face in Julu Mountain in Jitoushan, and the effect it brought was He would definitely be noticed by the Six Bandits of Julu. Of course, Yan Liang had nothing to fear from these bandits who were entrenched in Julu.

Aren't these guys just that the rebellion has been going on for a longer time and have become more powerful?

But what's the point? Why should he, Yan Liang, be afraid? I, Yan Liang, manage these people as if they were trying to sell Seoul!

But Yan Liang was not afraid, but he still had too few troops, so Yan Liang decided to use the ransom earned from the county government to continue recruiting troops and expand his strength!
Three days later, Gao Jun sent someone to deliver the ransom on time, and Yan Liang was very trustworthy and released Captain Pan.

Pan Rulong's life has not been good these days. Although he has not been abused, he has to worry about whether his head will be chopped off every day, so he lives in fear, and half of his pride is gone.

At this time, the door of the small cell opened and Yan Liang walked in. Pan Rulong looked at Yan Liang and said nervously: "I'll tell you what you want to do. Our Pan family is the most powerful in Guang'a. As long as you are willing Let me go, and the ransom will be easy to negotiate!”

After hearing this, Yan Liang looked at Pan Rulong and said, "I don't seem to have abused you. Why are you so cowardly?"

After hearing this, Pan Rulong burst into tears and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? This general is the number one in Guang'a, number one... How could I be cowardly? I just saw how poor your copycats were and wanted to help." You copycats, don’t be ungrateful! If you take my kindness as being afraid of you, how can I, the general, be afraid of young people like you, hahaha..."

Pan Rulong's poor acting skills made Yan Liang want to kick him, but after thinking about it, he resisted the urge to hit him, looked at Pan Rulong and said: "Okay, stop barking, your family has sent a ransom, you can get out!" "

"ransom?"

After hearing this, Pan Rulong was stunned, looked at Yan Liang and said, "You mean, our family paid me a ransom?"

"Yeah, one hundred thousand dollars."

Pan Rulong heard this and said, "Not much."

But he quickly came to his senses and said, "Well, can I leave now?"

Yan Liang heard this and said, "Well, that's all."

Pan Rulong was immediately overjoyed and laughed loudly: "Okay, okay, let's go now, let's go now."

Pan Rulong said excitedly, quickened his pace, and ran outside quickly. When he got outside, he didn't know if his brain was crazy, but he turned back to Yan Liang and said, "Ahem, um, can I use my big axe?" Take it back too!"

Yan Liang was stunned after hearing this. He still needs an ax now?
Yan Liang said: "You are not convinced and you still want to fight me?"

After hearing this, Pan Rulong waved his hands quickly: "No, no, it's just that the ax is easy to use, but not the others."

It is true that Pan Rulong's ax was specially made, and it looked very intimidating, but its actual weight was not that intimidating. Moreover, the wooden pole was wrapped with iron sheet, making it look like it was made entirely of iron. It was very sharp!

If he was making one, it would be time-consuming and labor-intensive, and he wouldn't be able to make it in just a few days, so Pan Rulong wanted to take the ax back.

Hearing this, Yan Liang refused cruelly: "The ax has melted and I can't give it to you!"

After hearing this, Pan Rulong clenched his teeth and said, "Hiss~ How can such a treasure be smelted..."

"Get out or not!"

After hearing this, Yan Liang was immediately furious. He thrust the big knife in his hand into the ground, and there was a crisp sound. Yan Liang shouted angrily: "If you don't get out, you can stay!"

After hearing this, Pan Rulong was startled and said quickly: "Get out, get out, get out now!"

Soon we arrived at the foot of the mountain. At this time, there was a group of government officials waiting outside. There were several boxes of money on the ground. Pan Rulong was soon sent out. When he saw the government officials below, Pan Rulong suddenly regained his previous dignity.

After he broke free from the ropes tied around his body and returned to the crowd, he said in a cold voice: "Panshan Dragon, you are not capable of defeating me with your tricks. When I go back and recover, I will definitely come back for advice."

After hearing this, Yan Liang frowned and rode his horse to take a few steps in front of the formation. Pan Rulong was so frightened that he hid back. Good fellow, brother, we are not in a hurry. These are my younger brothers. Give me some face. Give me some face and let me finish pretending. Otherwise, how will I explain it when I go back?

Pan Rulong was really shadowed by Yan Liang. He somewhat understood the gap between his own strength and these first-class generals, but he, Pan Rulong, had always been free and easy in his life, how could he give in easily.

If he didn't have a great reputation, how could he successfully enter the officialdom, be recommended by others, and finally become the county captain of Guang'a County. You must know that reputation in this era is directly linked to official position.

Otherwise, people like Cao Cao would not be able to catch up and would have to go to Xu Shao for a monthly review, because only those who are famous all over the world have the opportunity to rise to the top. This is the unspoken rule of this era.

People who don't follow the rules will never go far.

Fortunately, Yan Liang just wanted to scare Pan Rulong and didn't really want to do anything to him. Therefore, he just rode his horse forward for two steps and then stopped.

Looking at Pan Rulong who was already covered in cold sweat on his forehead, he smiled and said, "X, I'm waiting for you to fight at any time!"

After hearing this, Pan Rulong looked at Yan Liang with a little more gratitude in his eyes for some reason, probably because he was grateful to him for saving him face in front of everyone, so he cupped his fists and said, "Wash your neck and wait for someone, let's go! "
