Lord: Start with a book of Water Margin

Chapter 158 Conquest of Hao Shanfeng

Zhao Zhen has been listening to reports from various villages in the past few days. Not only has there been a bumper harvest of grain, but also a lot of spiritual fruits and special products. Now they have all been counted. Zhao Zhen looked at it and found that there are many good men in Liangshan County. Except for the four-tailed carp, everyone else is If you can’t share it for everyone, except for what you use, the rest should be distributed as appropriate. Firstly, it will improve the strength of the heroes, and secondly, it will naturally win over people’s hearts. It's just that there is a saying that worries about inequality rather than scarcity. Zhao Zhen doesn't want to cause dissatisfaction among everyone because of this matter.

After thinking about it, Zhao Zhen felt that it was best to do it in the name of rewarding merit. In this way, it could not only solve the dilemma of not everyone having spiritual creatures, but also allow everyone to concentrate on fighting. Fortunately, Shi Qian has found out Hao Shanfeng's situation. Recently, two new strong men have arrived: one named Wang, named Jiang, and the other named Dong, named Hai. The two of them took a hundred or ten companions and occupied the Haoshan Mountain Peak. They ordered the households in the three villages below the mountain to cut down trees every day and build cottages. There used to be two advanced beasts on the mountain, an eye-catching white-fronted giant insect and a black blind man.

Speaking of which, these two strong men were recruited by the farmers in the village. It was only because these two ferocious beasts were causing so much trouble that they hired people to get rid of these two man-eating scourges. I never thought that the two men who were invited were just grass in the forest. Although the thieves drove two harmful insects and black blind men into the mountain, these two people saw that this place was dangerous and it was a good place to set up a stronghold. Occupied Hao Shanfeng. Households in the village were reduced to slavery. Not only the strong men were driven by them every day, but also many of their wives and daughters were raped.

After Shi Qian inquired for a while, someone told him about Wang Jiang and Dong Hai. Shi Qian secretly watched in the mountains for two days to confirm that they were correct. Then he came back with the help of Ruan Xiaowu and reported it to Zhao Zhen.

After Zhao Zhen heard about it, he summoned Wu Yong to discuss it. After hearing this, Wu Yong said: "Master, there are only a hundred or so grass bandits there, and they are not fully equipped with soldiers and armors. Only the two leaders are somewhat capable. In addition to the two advanced beasts, we will also dispatch four heroes, Luan Tingyu Liu Tang and Deng Fei are good at horse fighting and can't defeat Wang Jiang and Dong Hai. Liu Tang and Du Qian guard against the two beasts taking advantage of the chaos to attack, and then use Jiao Ting and Song Wan to protect the central army. Ruan Xiaoer and Brothers Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi captured three villages and patrolled the water to prevent anyone from escaping. "

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen nodded, took out his command arrow, and asked Zhao Ji and Zhang Qi to pass the order. After a while, Luan Tingyu and Deng Fei led an army of 20 cavalry, and Jiao Ting and Song Wan led an army of infantry. Leather armor, pretty simple sword. Zhao Zhen also dressed up, bringing with him the [Big King Dog], [Southern Fighting Dog] and two [Liangshan Mastiffs]. These four dogs were already familiar with human nature, and now they have entered the ranks. After Zhao Zhen's training in the past few days, the four dogs The dogs cooperate with each other and are not afraid of heroes who are on the second level.

Under Ruan Xiaoer's arrangement, everyone took a boat to Xigouzhao Mountain. Four heroes, Ruan Xiaowu, Ruan Xiaoqi, Liu Tang, and Du Qian, gathered in Xiawang Village. Zhao Zhen explained to all the heroes in Xiawang Village. Then I read the memorial text and burned a piece of paper.

The fog receded, and Hao Shanshan Mountain was seen in the distance. Such a big movement must not be hidden from Wang Jiang and Dong Hai. Everyone headed straight for Hao Shanfeng according to their respective goals.

Wang Jiang and Dong Hai were enjoying themselves in the village at this time. As the fog dissipated, a tiger roar came from the mountains, followed by a bear roar. The two were so shocked that they hurriedly went out to investigate, thinking that these two beasts were attacking Dazhai.

When they came out of the door, before they could figure out the situation, they heard two minions on the observation deck pointing to the east and shouting: "Your Majesty, the fog in the east has cleared and a ship is coming."

Wang Jiang and Dong Hai looked eastward, and sure enough, there were four large ships behind them, with military flags hanging on them, and a big "Zhao" written on the highest side. There are many fast boats ahead, and Fei Ye seems to be rushing this way. Wang Jiang shouted: "Beat the drums and gather the troops. Who dares to stroke the tiger's beard? I have sent this group of officers and soldiers away today. From now on, the officers and soldiers will not dare to look at me and others when they catch thieves."

With that said, Wang Jiang and Dong Hai went back to their rooms and put on their clothes, leaving only a dozen short men to guard the village. The two rode horses and led a hundred or so minions down the mountain. They stopped at the foot of the mountain and lined up in a noisy manner.

Ruan Xiaoer occupied the nearby Dongzhang Village. Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi sailed straight to Xizhang and Beizhang Villages, killing the three or five minions left behind in the village. Zhao Zhen and others came ashore from Dongzhang Village. They quickly set up their positions and went straight to Wang Jiang and Dong Hai at the foot of the mountain.

After standing in the formation, Wang Jiang immediately held up a simple knife and shouted in front of the formation: "Where did you come from, boy? Look at your skin and tender flesh. The milky smell in your mouth has not gone away, and the fetal hair is still there on your head. What's wrong?" If you dare to stroke the tiger's beard, I will catch you and go to the mountain today, so that the brothers can enjoy it, so that you can see the master's methods."

Zhao Zhen heard this and said angrily: "Who will arrest this guy with me?"

Luan Tingyu didn't say anything. He jumped out of the formation and held his horse, holding the [Hanxing Plum Blossom Spear] horizontally and shouting loudly: "Unprovoked grass bandits, betrayal of madmen, the heavenly soldiers have not surrendered until now, until their flesh and blood are reduced to mud, how can I regret it!" Then, without waiting for Wang Jiang to say anything, a group of people sat down on their yellow-maned horses and charged straight at Wang Jiang with their spears drawn. Wang Jiang also rode to meet him. The two of them raised their swords and guns in front of the formation, and their fight was no more than three or five. This Wang Jiang was only five short in stature and weak in strength. How can I compare with Luan Tingyu? I am already too weak. Dong Hai saw this and rode forward to help. Luan Tingyu shouted loudly and shot Wang Jiang off his horse. He was dead before his eyes. Dong Hai was startled and ran back on his horse. Seeing the young men waving flags and shouting, he only regretted that his parents and young men had to live on the deep wild road to escape for their lives. When Zhao Zhen saw it, he waved his hand and pointed his flag forward. Deng Fei led his cavalry troops to rush forward, followed closely by the infantry, killing thirty or fifty of them like chopping melons and vegetables without stopping.

Seeing Dong Hai running away, the minions dispersed in a hurry, and the horse infantry then chased these grassroots bandits and ran all over the mountain. They chased them all the way, killed or captured them, and wiped out all the bandits in this place. After a count, only Dong Hai was missing, and the horses abandoned aside were found in the back of the mountain.

After the war, all the heroes came to report their merits. Those who were captured alive were surrendered to the stockade on the top of the mountain. Luan Tingyu presented Wang Jiang's head and his entire outfit. Nearly 10,000 guan of gold and silver and nearly 30,000 dan of rice were found in the village. There were more than ten naked women hiding in the village. When everyone saw them, they were all filled with indignation. It's a pity that Dong Hai left. Zhao Zhenrang found clothes for these people to wear. Each of them was given three to five taels of gold and silver, and they all went down the mountain.

Everyone was sighing when they saw Ruan Xiaoqi escorting a person to the mountain stronghold. Ruan Xiaoqi said that this guy was pretending to be a fisherman and drove a fishing boat to the north. He didn't respond to calls, so he captured him and sent someone to the village. Identified, it was Dong Hai.

Seeing everyone, Dong Hai knelt down and prayed for surrender. Zhao Zhen sent people to call the households in the three villages and identify them one by one. Except for a few thin ones, all the bandits were aiding Zhou. Zhao Zhen tied up all these people, pushed them out, and handed them over to the farmers. The bullied farmers used stones and sticks to beat these people to death.

Then, he knelt in front of Zhao Zhen and thanked Zhao Zhen for helping him get revenge. Zhao Zhen sent people to help everyone up and said that from now on this place would belong to Liangshan County and troops would be stationed here to protect it. Everyone cheered after hearing this.

Zhao Zhen stayed in San Village and learned about the current situation of Hao Shanfeng and the three villages. He heard that most of the food was now plundered by Wang Jiang and the two of them up the mountain. The villagers had no food left for the winter. Zhao Zhen let the granaries be opened and each household was given two shi according to their population. In exchange for rice ranging from five kilograms, three villages were grateful.

Jiao Ting, Liu Tang, Du Qian, Song Wan, and Shi Qian, under the leadership of their guide, searched all over the mountain for the two beasts. In just one day, Liu Tang used his crossbow to kill the big insect, and Song Wan and Du Qian killed it. The two men smashed the blind bear's head with two sticks. Wolves, bears, and wild boars in the mountains also suffered, with more than a hundred killed.

Song Wan and Du Qian were left to lead a team of 50 people to garrison Haoshanfeng Mountain, and Xiao Rang was brought in to lead people to make statistics on the conditions of the three villages. Zhao Zhen and others took the seizures and returned to Baishigu Manor by boat. Passing by the Golden Beach Water Village, Zhao Zhen met the [Bahu Army] led by Ruan Xiaoqi, which was the first famous army in Liangshan.

The sergeants were all strong men from Jiazhuang in Dongguozhao Mountain, and a hundred people were carefully selected to form a capital. The rest who were not selected did not want to go home to farm, so they all went to Ruan Xiaowu.
