Chapter 348 Retreat

Those tigers turned around and left, but Xiao Mo was excited!
If it wasn't because he was in a hurry to go to Liangshan now, and there were white lotus sect chasing after him, Xiao Mo really wanted to hunt some tigers for fun!

In two lives, I have never eaten tiger meat, but I have sat on tiger skin!

After crossing Pingyi County and entering the boundary of Pingyang, Xiao Mo and his group can breathe a sigh of relief!
And at this time, it was time to say goodbye to Mingyu and Zhang Hanxin. They were going south here, to Jining, and then headed straight to the capital!
Of course, Mingyue and Zhang Hanxin are now wearing the coat of the White Lotus Sect and made up to look like men. As long as they don't deliberately reveal their identities, ordinary people will naturally not be able to tell!

Besides, there is Zhang Hanxin, a master, by Mingyu's side!

But Xiao Mo was still a little worried, so he sent Yang Hong, Ruan Xiaoqi, and Lu Zuo to go together!
"It's time for the three of you to return to the army. When you arrive in the capital, go directly to Master Li. Master Li will decide everything!" Xiao Mo confessed to the three of Yang Hong!
After the three of them took orders, they protected Mingyu and boarded the carriage they had just brought!

Mingyu pursed her lips, looked back at Xiao Mo in the carriage, and then got farther and farther... farther and farther away!
Xiao Mo waved his hand, and finally watched the carriage leave out of his sight.

"Go! Go to Liangshan..." Xiao Mo gave the order.

So, the 1000 men and horses started to move again, because the people of the White Lotus Sect lost their target in the mountains after chasing Pingyi, so they had to return to Yizhou.

In Yizhou City, Qiu Buer sat on the main seat of the meeting hall with a livid face, and the Virgin sat next to him.

This time when Yizhou was attacked, I was caught off guard, and I didn't even touch the figure of the other party. It can be said that this pair of White Lotus Sect, and even Qiu Buer and the Virgin, were naked provocations and slaps in the face!

For a long time, Yizhou, known as the back garden of the White Lotus Sect, had never experienced such a major turmoil even in the face of the imperial court's encirclement and suppression of Shandong by hundreds of thousands of troops, but this time... Yizhou almost became a sea of ​​flames!
Qiu Buer is not a god. When Xiao Mo and the others used fuel bottles to ignite the west city in Yizhou, whether it was Qiu Buer or the Holy Mother, there was no way to invite the Dragon King to rain to put out the fire, so they had to direct their hands to isolate the west city. Come on, prevent the spread of the fire!Fortunately, the people of the whole city were making pilgrimages around the Shengde Hall at that time, otherwise, the fire would not have been extinguished so soon!
But even so, the White Lotus Sect suffered a lot. Not to mention the residential buildings and buildings in the west city, even the granary in the east of the city was burned down to nearly half of its grain storage!

Although winter has passed, the new year has just begun, the weather is still very cold, and there is still a long time before spring planting or summer plowing!
But... the food storage is no longer enough, even... not only Yizhou, but also other state capitals and towns under the influence of the White Lotus Sect.

The food supply is scarce, and the Lianghuai and Jingdong roads have begun to be locked and closed, and the walls are cleared, which makes the White Lotus Sect have no place to rob...

Of course, the Liao Kingdom is a way out, but everyone in the world knows that Xiao Mo went to the Liao Kingdom once and signed an alliance with the emperor of the Liao Kingdom. The Liao Kingdom will not help Shandong!

It's okay to help secretly, relying on the power of the White Lotus Sect, maybe it can really convince the ministers of the Liao Kingdom, but...the Liao Kingdom must not blatantly help the White Lotus Sect, so this method took a lot of effort from the White Lotus Sect. Can be a drop in the bucket!
why?One is because the Liao Kingdom must abide by its covenant with the An Dynasty and cannot support the White Lotus Sect, so it can only help secretly. In this way, the amount of aid must not be large, after all, it must be concealed... The second reason is, The Liao Kingdom does not have a surplus of grain. The grain in the Liao Kingdom mainly depends on the production of wheat. As for the rice, it is still bought from An Dynasty every year. How can there be any surplus grain for the White Lotus Sect?

So after discussing and analyzing Qiu Buer and his men, the road of Liao Kingdom will not work!

So what to do?The Lianghuai and Jingdong roads were sealed to death, so could it be possible to go north to the Liao Kingdom to rob them?
It is obviously not a wise strategy to offend the Liao Kingdom after breaking up with An Chao!

Finally, Qiu Buer sighed and said: "Now... we can only save money and live through March! And let our own army go hunting in the mountains when there is no war. Be self-sufficient, don't use the grain in the granary!"

In order to save food, it's all here...

But here comes the problem again, even if the army can save some food by hunting, what about the common people?The number of people is far above the army!Could it be possible to let the common people go hunting?

Hearing this question from his subordinates, Qiu Buer frowned, obviously thinking about countermeasures.

At this time, the Holy Mother said: "This is a difficult problem...can you organize the congregation to go fishing in the lake or on the seashore?"

"Beach..." Hearing what the Holy Mother said, Qiu Buer shook his head as expected, then glared at the Holy Mother and said: "You must not go to the seaside, remember, you must not let the congregation know the secret of the seaside, otherwise, the congregation will definitely Chaos!"

Hearing Qiu Buer's words, everyone was shocked, and even the Holy Mother suddenly realized, and then said: "It's the deity who made a slip of the tongue!"

Qiu Buer gave the Holy Mother a blank look. He didn't know whether the Holy Mother's words were intentional or unintentional. After a cold snort, Qiu Buer said to an elder who was sitting down: "Elder Sun, this matter of food cannot be allowed to teach Everyone knows, you are thinking of a way to see if you can let the congregation live frugally for a while?"

Elder Sun had a gray beard and looked a little old, his eyes lit up when he heard Qiu Buer's words, and he replied: "Holy King, why not... the old man opened the altar to pray, and then said that he understood the will of the Hall of Shengde, It is said that it is to teach the art of longevity..."

Speaking of this, Elder Sun said with a smile: "The art of longevity is aimed at bigu..."

"Okay!" Hearing this, Qiu Buer understood Elder Sun's meaning, slapped his thigh, and seemed very satisfied with Elder Sun's strategy!

After discussing the plan, the meeting will be over.

When Elder Sun left the meeting hall, his guards greeted him and asked, "Elder, are you going home?"

Elder Sun shook his head, got into the carriage, and then the driver drove the carriage slowly. In the carriage, Sun Changlai said to the guard: "Which house are you going back to? Go to work, and you go back and report a letter, saying that the deity has gone to work." , let Madam not have to wait for the deity to serve dinner..."

After thinking about it, Elder Sun held back the guard again, and then said: "Tie Ying, how long have you been with this deity?"

The guard named Tie Ying said: "Go back to the elder, Tie Ying started to follow the elder last year!"

"Yeah!" Elder Sun nodded, thought for a while, then waved to Tie Ying, let him come over, and then said in his ear: "Tell Madam, tidy up at home, this Shandong... I'm afraid it's time to wait." It won't be long!"

Tie Ying frowned when he heard the words, and asked a little puzzled: "Why did the elder say that?"

Elder Sun said: "You heard it just now! The Holy King is so cautious and nervous about the seaside matter, obviously he also knows it. We can't stay in this Shandong for a long time. This time, the An Dynasty closed the roads and blocked the roads. We are going to starve to death in Shandong. This time, Yizhou was burned to pieces by a big fire. Now, the Holy King has no choice! This plan of saving food and clothing, is it not drinking poison to quench thirst? It will be fine for a while, if only time After a long time, the congregation and soldiers will inevitably be in chaos, and at that time...we will only have to take the last road!"

"The last way?" Tie Ying was shocked when he heard the words, and then asked: "Elder, if we really get to the point of chaos in Shandong, do we still have a way out?"

Elder Sun thought for a while, and said: "Of course! You have heard that we hid three large ships by the sea. If things are really out of control, at that point, we will naturally be able to board the ship and flee to Korea by sea. At that time, as long as we have an army in our hands, we are not afraid that we will not be able to make a comeback!"

"Escape..." Tie Ying murmured.

Seeing Tie Ying's reaction, Elder Sun smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I won't leave you behind. You go back and tell my wife what I just said... Remember, don't let others listen to you. Otherwise, this deity will not spare you!"

Tie Ying nodded when he heard the words, then left the carport neatly, and jumped down.

However, after Elder Sun's carriage left, a strange smile appeared on the corner of Tie Ying's mouth, and then disappeared on the streets of Yizhou...

Let's say that Xiao Mo and his party crossed Pingyang and entered the boundary of Liangshan.

It was a coincidence that Xiao Mo, Ma Yidao and a thousand troops had just entered the border of Liangshan when they encountered a big battle.

The two sides in the battle were not Xiao Mo and the others, but people from two different villages above Liangshan. Xiao Mo asked Ma Yidao and found out that these two groups of people were the famous thieves in this area of ​​Liangshan, the Red Horse Gang and the Golden Sword Village. !
There were nearly a thousand people in the two groups of people, and they were fighting fiercely. Suddenly, they saw another pair of people coming, so the leaders of both sides became suspicious, and then stopped fighting one after another, and restarted in the fastest time. Line up a good formation, and then watch each other vigilantly.

"Interesting!" Seeing that the people on both sides are well-trained and extremely strong in execution, Xiao Mo couldn't help being interested, so he rode his horse and ran between the people on both sides of the Red Horse Gang and Jindao Village.

Seeing this, Ma Yidao quickly waved his hand, and everyone followed behind Xiao Mo!
Who knew that Xiao Mo stopped his horse, turned his head and said to Ma Yidao: "Brother Ma, let my brother stay away!"

Ma Yidao nodded, if his 1000 people ran over like this, it would easily cause misunderstandings.

So, Zhao Guanying and Ma Yidao followed behind Xiao Mo, while Gao Yuanyi led the men and horses to keep a certain distance.
