The most powerful film and television lottery

Chapter 369
This time it was Shen Mu's turn to scratch his head, he casually mentioned the three major crimes, just because he felt that the three major crimes sounded a little louder, and he never thought about those three crimes at the time.

The gang members around were anxious on behalf of the two of them, empathizing with them, but the more anxious they became, the more unexpected they became. When the shouts gradually subsided, Shen Renfu suddenly poked his head in from the crowd and said, "The third crime is to make a quick lunch. Damage the reputation of the gang! Okay?"

Although Jiao Hongjin felt that this might not be considered a serious crime, Shen Mu's mind flashed, and he shouted wildly: "The third crime is to set fire to Xiao Chunguang's innocent girl and guest to show his own selfishness. The evidence of this matter is overwhelming, victims please speak up immediately, or we will... Hey! Nothing!"

He wanted to say "otherwise we wouldn't come to save you", but luckily he reined in from the brink and did not become a villain who would do nothing to save you.

The "victims" in Xiaochunguang's main building immediately shouted loudly, accusing Du Ren one after another.

Seeing that the time is ripe, Shen Mu shouted: "Brothers! From today on, Jiao Hongjin will be the leader of our gang, long live Jiao gang leader!"

For a while, the voice of "Long live Jiao Gangzhu" resounded through the sky.

Shen Mu shouted again: "People in the courtyard listen, as long as you give up your weapons and surrender, Chief Jiao will not hold you accountable. We are still good brothers."

As soon as the conversation stopped, the streets in the courtyard immediately fell silent, only the sound of burning torches and breathing remained.

I don't know who in the courtyard threw down the weapon first, and there was a constant jingle of bells, and everyone knew that the situation was over and his position was not guaranteed.

Shen Muchang smiled and said: "You are all children! Get out and die!"

Du Ren shouted wildly, rushed out with a spear, and rushed towards Jiao Hongjinli's body.

The sound of "Chi Chi" was endless, and hundreds of powerful arrows shot at him like raindrops.

……

Shen Mu sat upright on his horse, looking at the deserted plains, forests, and rolling hills under the stars and moon from a high place.

Xuan Yong and Jiao Hongjin were on the left and right, and behind them were more than a dozen generals, most of whom were from the Luoma Gang.

In the Xiaochunguang incident, Du Ren died tragically. When the news spread, Brother Ku hurriedly fled to the direction of the sea, hoping that with his horse, he could return to the sea before being intercepted by Shen Mu.

Unexpectedly, Shen Mu had a well-thought-out plan, and used Luo Qifei, who was good at scouting, to keep watch along the route, accurately grasping the direction of his retreat, and let him flee wildly for two days and two nights, and then concentrated his troops on the road that the lone army must pass through, accumulating waiting.

With the sound of hoofbeats, Luo Qifei rode through the sparse forest at the bottom of the slope, came to Shen Muma, and reported: "The enemy finally couldn't stand it anymore, and rested and ate on a hill ten miles away, so that the horses could rest and eat water and grass. .”

Shen Mu's eyes flashed coldly, and he said in a deep voice, "According to Qifei's guess, are these Khitan thieves still capable of fighting?"

Luo Qifei replied: "Although Khitan dog thieves are frightened birds, they have always endured hardships and stand hard work. Even though they ran for their lives in panic, they were still scattered and not chaotic. Break through quickly."

Shen Mu nodded in praise and said: "What Qifei said is true. Although we are familiar with the terrain this time, we have the advantage in numbers and morale, so we have a chance to win. But how to get the greatest results and minimize our casualties is the key to our success." Only then can it be calculated.”

Jiao Hongjin pointed with his horsewhip to the high mountains about ten miles behind, and said, "Feiying Gorge is the only way to the sea. We just need to set up an ambush there, and we can guarantee that Brother Ku's entire army will be wiped out."

Shen Mu smiled and said, "Although Brother Ku is not smart, he is by no means stupid, and he has rich experience in marching, so he should know where the danger lies."

Luo Qifei nodded and said: "Young Commander clearly noticed that Brother Ku and his gang had the strength to walk ten miles more, but they rested at this time, so they must first find out the geographical situation before deciding whether to cross the gorge. Or take a detour."

Xuan Yong frowned and said: "If they take a detour, because their horses are fast, they can easily leave us behind, then the towns along the coast will suffer."

Shen Mu shook his head and said, "They won't make a detour, because if they can leave quickly, they won't waste time. Let's take a two-pronged approach. Instead of deploying soldiers in Feiying Gorge, we only bluff behind them, pretending to be The scene of the chasing soldiers made them flee in a panic without getting enough rest."

Jiao Hongjin asked in amazement, "Then where should we intercept them?"

Shen Mu said decisively: "It was just outside the mouth of the gorge. At that time Brother Ku's mood had just relaxed, and the people and horses were all discouraged, so we gave him a head-on attack and a pincer attack from both sides. As long as we drive them into the gorge, the We will win the battle in one battle.”

The sound of hooves blasted across the canyon, getting louder and louder, making the already tense atmosphere even more dignified.

Shen Mu, who was hidden in a dense forest growing on the hillside, was surprisingly calm, because the entire battlefield was under his control, and everything was carried out and happened according to his arrangement, without exception.

Although he had talked to Xu Ziling about "war is like a game" in the past, it was not until tonight that he truly realized the strange feeling of that "game".

From the appointment of generals to the recruitment, selection and formation of soldiers, from training, banners and drums, reconnaissance, communications, equipment to formation, marching, setting up camps, defending cities, attacking cities, and the use of tactics, he has a great reputation. The feeling of playing chess.

The goal is to be the final victor.

Luo Qifei who was beside him shouted in a low voice: "Come on!"

Shen Mu watched coldly, the Khitan horse bandit appeared at the mouth of the gorge, galloping swiftly up the ancient road outside the gorge.

As Shen Mu had expected, after nearly ten miles of galloping like a bereaved dog, and passing through a dangerous canyon, the enemy was at the end of their strength, and their speed slowed down significantly as they tried their best.

Brother Ku has always used the four-character mantra of "come and go like the wind".If you can't fight, just slip away, and teach others not to touch his tail.And his ability to travel across Shandong has a lot to do with Mi Fang, the "Wolf King" who is familiar with the geography.

Coming to this unfamiliar place, brother Ku and the others are like blind men, and Mi Fang is the blind male bamboo that guides the way.

The death of Mi Fang made Brother Ku have no choice but to follow the old path to retreat, and he just fell into Shen Mu's net.

At this time, most of the horse thieves had walked out of the canyon, suddenly the dozen or so riders in front stumbled one after another and fell to the ground.

The llamas who were ambushing on both sides of the young marshal's army shouted at the same time, and while the drums were beating loudly, the archers in the forest on both sides fired their arrows at the same time, taking people instead of horses, and the Khitan horse thieves fell to the ground one after another, making a mess group.

Then the spearmen formed a neat formation from both sides and divided them into four groups, with 500 people in each group. They rushed the enemy to pieces at once, breaking them into several pieces, and the head and tail could not look at each other.

The archers ambushing by the mouth of the gorge fired arrows like rain at the exit, forcing a small number of enemy cavalry who had not yet left the gorge to flee back into the gorge.

Knowing it was time, Shen Mu gave a loud shout, and led two hundred elite cavalry to rush out of the dense forest, and charged at the enemy head-on.

No matter how strong the Khitan horse bandits were and how good their equestrian skills were, after two days of tossing around, they were also newly defeated, and their morale was extremely low.

Surrounded by Xuan Yong, Jiao Hongjin, Luo Qifei and other generals, Shen Mu inspected the scene of the aftermath of the battlefield surrendered to his military power.

The Khitan horse bandits who had been raging for many years were finally wiped out.In addition to nearly 3000 fine-bred Khitan war horses and countless bows and arrows, the spoils of war also included a batch of [-] taels of gold.Just this batch of wealth is enough to rebuild half of Pengcheng.

Shen Mu did not have the joy he expected.

Although it was not the first time he had witnessed the scene of corpses strewn all over the field, but this time the situation of the battle was made by him alone.

His current reaction is purely a direct response to the scene, the feeling of the death scene around him.

Shen Mu stopped his horse and stared at the cold and stiff bodies of the three Khitan horse thieves twisted on the ground in extremely unnatural postures. There was another horse not far away.

One of them should be falling from the back of the horse after being shot in the vest, the head was soaked in a puddle of congealed ocher-black blood, and under the morning light, the skin that was originally full of life showed a disgusting indigo color.

Xuan Yong waited patiently to see him staring blankly at the corpse on the ground.

Shen Mu smiled bitterly and said, "Are you wondering if it's strange? I never thought or thought they were human just now, but now seeing their dead bodies lying in the wilderness, I suddenly remembered that they are also human like me, with their families and relatives. , and even look forward to their return to Khitan day and night, caring for their wives and children.”

Xuan Yong said in a deep voice: "The young commander will soon get used to all this. On the battlefield, you will die or I will die. You can't be soft-hearted!"

Shen Mu sighed: "I'm not soft-hearted. Even if the whole thing starts over again, I will still mercilessly kill half of these vicious people. It's just that people are not grass, so there will always be some feelings."

At this time, the subordinates came to report, but they could not find Brother Ku's body.

Shen Mu snorted coldly, "It's his fate! After packing up, we will rush back to Xiapi immediately. The next target is Li Zitong's lair, Donghai County!"

All the generals responded in unison.

Shen Mu could just urge the horse, suddenly, he just wanted to get as far away from the battlefield as possible!
After Shen Mu returned to Xiapi, he had not yet warmed up, and had already started to meet prominent figures from nearby cities and counties. Among the defectors were Li Zitong's eccentric generals.

One of them is Li Xingyuan, about 30 years old, tall and mighty, he is not only a fellow of Li Zitong, but also the city guard of Muyang, another big city between Xiapi and Donghai. Half of Donghai County fell into Shen Mu's bag.

Shen Mu was surprised to ask why, Li Xingyuan snorted coldly: "Li Zitong is mean and merciful, he uses people to judge relatives and not talents, he is short-sighted, and he is not a person with great ambitions. But frankly speaking, Xingyuan is still hesitant, but his subordinates All the generals and the leaders of merchants and peasants, from the old to the young, all agreed to defect to the young marshal, and only then did Xing Yuan understand what it means to unite the hearts of all people."

Shen Mu laughed and said: "Xing Yuan is honest enough, I just like a straightforward guy like you, what is the current situation of Dong Hai?"

Li Xingyuan said: "Donghai County is now run by Li Zitong's younger brother Li Ziyun, and he will never surrender to the young commander. With enough food and grass, there will be no problems for a year or so."

Shen Mu frowned and said, "What kind of person is Li Ziyun?"

Li Xingyuan said disdainfully: "What else does he know besides bullying the weak and taking advantage of the people? Li Zitong knew that he was brave but not resourceful, so he specially appointed Tong Shuwen, a bad scholar, as his military advisor. This man is extremely scheming, not like Li Ziyun. It's just a straw bag."

Shen Mu asked with great interest: "Why did Xing Yuan call him a bad ghost scholar?"

Li Xingyuan gritted his teeth and said: "Tong Shuwen loves to be self-proclaimed and noble. He claims to others that he reads the books of sages and learned the art of emperors. He talks about benevolence and righteousness all day long, but he is greedy for flowers and lust. I don't know how many women's reputations have been ruined. The wives, concubines and daughters of the subordinates will not be spared, if not for their excellent martial arts and brother Li Zitong's protection, they would have been torn to pieces."

Shen Mu thought that this should be an important reason for Li Xingyuan's renunciation, so he couldn't help feeling fortunate that he was not a lustful person, nodded and said: "If you want to win the East China Sea, this person should be the key; if you can get rid of him, Li Ziyun is just evil." It's a toothless tiger, what suggestion does Xing Yuan have?"

Li Xingyuan said with a distressed face: "No one in the East China Sea is more afraid of assassins than Tong Shuwen, so not only are you careful when you go in and out, and your hiding place is secretive, even the sleeping room is different at night. It is easier to assassinate Li Ziyun."

Shen Mu murmured, "Does Li Ziyun know about Xing Yuan coming to see me?"

Li Xingyuan said: "Although Tong Shuwen put some eyeliner on me, how could he hide it from me, and he was especially careful during this trip, they probably didn't know about it."

Shen Mu happily said: "That's it! Xing Yuan immediately sneaked back to Muyang, and kept quiet. I will cooperate with you to take action after I have drawn up a comprehensive plan."

Li Xingyuan nodded in agreement, and with eager expectation in his eyes, he said: "Xingyuan has an unfeeling request, and Master Wanwang will accept it."

Shen Mu happily said: "Now, brothers, if you have anything on your mind, please speak up!"

Li Xingyuan said in a low voice: "I hope that the young commander will be merciful and not harm the common people of Donghai County."

Shen Mu laughed dumbly and said: "This is not an unfeeling request, but it is both human and natural. Don't worry, Xingyuan, if you want to kill Yingcheng to win the East China Sea, I, Shen Mu, will never do it. This oath will teach me that Shen Mu will die badly."

Li Xingyuan knelt down and was so moved that he couldn't speak.

Shen Mu hurriedly helped him up, and after making an appointment to contact him, Li Xingyuan left in a hurry.

After he left, Chen Changlin stepped into the gate of the mansion with his front foot, and Shen Mu was overjoyed to welcome him.

Chen Changlin strode forward, stretched his hands out to grab Shen Mu's shoulders, with a warm look in his eyes, and said happily: "I heard the news that Brother Kou and Brother Xu were almost murdered by Wang Shichong's ungrateful old thief, so I rushed back to the east immediately. They all questioned the old thief, how could he avenge the two generals, and had a big fight with him, of course there was no result, so they had to leave angrily. Fortunately, they heard that you were able to win the crowd with the few in Liangdu, and defeated Yu Wenhuaji with the mob. The elite army rushed here, unfortunately, Brother Kou just left the city, and he will not see Brother Kou until today, where is Ziling?"

Shen Mu was speechless and said, "So you found it yourself, and I was still looking for you like a gong. Brother Chang Lin is so bold that he dared to contradict the old ghost Shichong."

Chen Changlin is a good guy who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside.Usually dull and reticent, but when encountering things that cannot be seen, he will never turn back.He even regarded himself and Xu Ziling as good friends.

Chen Changlin let go of his hands and snorted coldly: "Wang Shichong didn't dare to kill me yet, because the person who recommended me was Yilao. One day he didn't really become emperor, and he still didn't have the guts to offend the entire Baidao martial arts world. Where's brother Ziling? "

Shen Mu put his arms around his shoulders, walked into the lobby, and said as he walked, "Xiao Ling went to Baling to do something. It's great that brother Chang Lin is here, so let us do our best for the common people in the world, and brother Chang Lin will stop by." Get rid of that beast Shen Lun to avenge the destruction of the family."

Chen Changlin's eyes lit up immediately.

In the study, after listening to Shen Mu's words, Chen Changlin put the tea in his hand on the small table beside the chair, nodded and said: "Maritime trade is never difficult, as long as it is profitable, merchants will come like ants. The difficulty is that we must Guarantee the safety of the waterways in the sea area. Then we must have an excellent navy to keep the waterways of the territory under control."

Shen Mu agreed: "I've also thought about this issue. Bu Tianzhi of the Jukun Gang has made an appointment to lead his fleet to attach to my younger brother. I heard from him that there are as many as five five-toothed ships, all of which were snatched back from the old Sui Dynasty. There are more than 20 other smaller warships, and hundreds of cargo ships.”

Chen Changlin cheered up and said: "This is completely different! The most rare thing is that there are suddenly a large number of experienced sailors who are not afraid of wind and waves. As long as they are trained in water warfare, the old warships are improved, and new ones are built in response to the waterway situation, there will always be new ones. One day we can dominate the rivers and dominate the world."

Shen Mu was stunned and said, "You seem to be more confident than my younger brother."

Chen Changlin smiled and said: "That's because I have confidence in Brother Kou! The immediate priority is to recruit a group of excellent shipwrights to refit the old ships. When we are ready, we can blockade the sea in Donghai County Traffic, cut off the sea connection between Donghai County and Jiangdu, at that time Donghai can only be beaten, and there is no way to fight back."

Shen Mu frowned and said, "Where can I find such a group of shipwrights?"

Chen Changlin patted his chest and said: "Of course it is Nanhai County, the hometown of my younger brother. Our surname Chen is from a giant family in Nanhai County. Our people either used to be sailors in the old dynasty or are used to doing sea business, and most of them are at odds with Shen Faxing and his son. As long as I sneak in When we go back, we will surely bring back a large number of talents in this field, and build an invincible navy for Brother Kou, then the days of Shen Faxing and his son will be numbered."

Shen Mu patted the stage and sighed: "Brother Chang Lin's words, half of the world has fallen into my little brother's bag!"

After Shen Mu sent Chen Changlin on the road, he returned to the mansion named "Young Marshal's Mansion", summoned Luo Qifei and asked, "Is there any news about Master Xu?"

Luo Qifei saw that his expression was different, he shook his head and said, "Where did Master Xu go? You can send someone to find out."

Shen Mu stood up and paced back and forth in the study, stopped after a while and sighed: "He is going to Baling, do you know the situation of that kid Xiao Xian?"

Luo Qifei replied: "At present, in the Dajiang area, in terms of strength, besides Fugong Er, he must be counted. After proclaiming the emperor, Xiao Xian successively captured Yulin, Cangwu, Panyu and other places, and continued to recruit troops, increasing the number of troops to forty. More than ten thousand people dominate the south, and no one in the land of the two lakes dares to seize the front."

Seeing that he frowned and said nothing, he couldn't help worrying, and asked, "Is the young commander worried about Master Xu?"

Shen Mu said distractedly: "I don't know what I'm worried about, maybe it's Master Xu, or something else. Sigh! What's new in the north?"
