"If you want to take someone, have you asked my gang leader?"

The one holding the horse's ring with the saber in his hand was a burly, red-faced man wrapped in a yellow army coat.

This person had frequently appeared next to Ha Liu in the past and was known as "Master Tu Er". He was the second leader of the Guangdong Gang.

It is common for different gangsters to fight and scold each other for loot, but this does not include high-level officials.

The sudden high-level quarrel caused the originally heated victory scene to suddenly cool down. Those who reacted quickly put down their goods in time to observe the situation. The few who realized the situation soon realized that the situation was cold, and then they looked up in shock and looked around.

The most shocked person was, of course, Ma Jie, who had lost face.

Staring at Mr. Tu in disbelief, he blinked a few times, turned his head and spat, and then the leader of the horse thieves, Ma Jie, asked in a sharp voice: "We agreed beforehand that all the meat tickets will be at my disposal. Why did you forget so quickly?

Is it done?"

"Shit!"

The second master of Tu did not back down at all: "Even a chicken has to get past the eyes of my gang leader first!"

This behavior of clearly not taking Uncle Ma seriously immediately angered Ma Jie's party.

You must know that a large part of the reason why Ma Jie and his gang, who spend most of their time in the grassland, are willing to come to Taihang Mountain to do business this time is because Ma Jie wants to avenge Yi Xinlong's personal revenge.

All meat tickets are handled by the horse thieves, and this has been negotiated in advance.

But now the Guangyi Gang obviously has no intention of admitting it... Although intrigues and deceit are part of daily life among gangs, but in today's situation where there is a big harvest, they are still keeping an eye on the meat tickets with the lowest total value.

, this made all the Taihang heroes present and watching the fun despise the Guangxi Gang.

The party involved, Ma Jie and his group, were even more angry. They all pulled out their knives immediately: "Where is Ha Liu? Come out and say justice!"

Leader Ha Liu and Ha Gang were naturally present. When Ma Jie turned around to look for him, he found Leader Ha and several riders standing firmly in front of the broken pier door, looking indifferently.

The first person to realize that something was wrong was Gu Ming, the leader of Taihang.

Being able to lead hundreds of bandits, Leader Gu naturally has a strategic vision. He was watching the excitement from the sidelines, and inadvertently glanced at the city wall with his eyes, and suddenly his expression changed: I don’t know when, the Guangxi gang members wearing yellow military coats

, has climbed up to the top of the wall, seemingly sparse, but actually standing in a circle around the wall.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Ming's eyes narrowed and he discovered another thing that was wrong: the seemingly chaotic scene inside the pier, but near each group of horse bandits, there were figures wearing yellow coats.

With just one glance, Leader Gu realized the problem: the ongoing quarrel was not a common quarrel that happened temporarily, but was deliberately provoked by a certain party.

The next moment, Gu Ming stretched out his hand to pull a broad man, blocked him in front of him, and shouted in a low voice: "If you want to fight, grab the guy, back off!"

At the same time, Ha Liu, who was sitting on the horse, coldly lowered his hands.

In an instant, roars were heard everywhere. Streams of white smoke erupted from the hands of Guangyi gang members scattered everywhere, knocking down the targets they had secretly assigned one by one.

What followed was a series of roars and the neighing of horses coming from outside the wall. This was because the people outside heard the noise and took action.

Most of those who were shot were horse thieves. Of course, in such a chaotic scene, there were quite a few Taihangxia who were accidentally injured.

They thought it was a normal dispute over the division of stolen goods, but they never thought that the other party was Ma Jie's gang who intended to murder. They were immediately hit by multiple lead bullets from all around.

Ma Jie, who was targeted the most, was shot three times in an instant, his chest was smashed, and he didn't even have time to grunt before he died.

The other three confidants beside Ma Jie were also shot one after another. Those who were shot in a non-fatal position were subsequently slashed with sabers, and they were immediately relieved.

Originally, Ma Jie only had a small number of men. The dozens of cavalrymen were the smallest among the three groups that cooperated this time. This small number of men, after experiencing losses in the previous battle, were suddenly attacked at close range by a superior number of muskets, causing immediate casualties.

It was so disastrous that I had no power to fight back.

The calmest person in the whole process was still Gu Ming, the boss of Taihang. Gu Ming, who had judged from the beginning that the Guangxi Gang was going to take advantage of the enemy, had already retreated to the corner with his confidants when the gunmen started to attack.

After discovering that just as he had expected, the Guangyi Gang was targeting the horse bandits, Boss Gu, who had a strong expression on his face, stretched out his arms to stop the commotion among his family, and completely led others to watch the fun.

There is nothing we can do about this mentality. Although Boss Gu is a bumpkin from the Taihang Mountains, it does not mean that he cannot see the power of hot weapons. Especially after the earth-shattering explosion, Gu Ming accurately judged the three parties involved.

Comparison of strength.

He didn't show it on the surface, but Boss Gu, who had the upper hand in terms of number of subordinates, was actually the psychologically weak one at the moment.

Therefore, Gu Ming was happy to watch the fun as long as he was not involved in the gangster gang and the Ma bandits.

Gunshots, screams, horse braying, and screams rang out continuously. The people who took action were merciless, shooting with guns and slashing with knives. In a short time, all the Mongolian horse bandits inside and outside the pier fell to the ground, and the surrounding people were killed.

The Taihang heroes were stunned.

It went as quickly as it came. In just a few dozen breaths, the battle between hot weapons and cold weapons was over. Except for a pile of corpses on the ground, time seemed to have stayed at the previous moment, and nothing had happened.

"Hey! Ha Liu! What do you want?"

Seeing that the scene was quiet again, Master Gu finally shouted loudly and drew out his sword. Following his actions, the belated Taihang heroes also drew out their swords and axes.

"Hahaha, I had a disagreement with Ma Jie for a while. It's a personal grudge, and I won't do the business of the Taihang brothers."

Regarding Master Gu's defensive posture that he only "remembered" at this time, Ha Liu understood the hidden good intentions of the other party. He laughed and got off the horse, waved off his men, walked through several sharp knives alone, and walked to Master Gu's house.

In front of him, he cupped his hands and saluted: "I bumped into my brother. It was Ha Liu who was reckless. I apologize!".

Ha Liu's response immediately resolved the tense atmosphere on the field. Gu Dajia then went downhill, ordered his men to put away their swords and axes, and then complained to Ha Liu a few words in the tone of an old brother who had been through it, and it seemed that everything was over.

It's past.

Next, the Taihang heroes, who felt a little complicated and had a defensive attitude, speeded up the cleaning of the battlefield. The Guangyi Gang members simply quit the count and all walked out of the pier.

Here is the advantage of having a large manpower. Hundreds of Taihang heroes quickly plundered everything inside and outside the pier. All the loot was packed into trucks, and all the prisoners were tied up and marched in formation.

As for the wounded, those with slightly injured legs and feet were taken away, while the rest were thrown on the pier, leaving them messy in the wind together with the eight officers and soldiers who had never participated in the battle from beginning to end.

When the large team set off with a full harvest, it was already dark, but this did not affect the progress of the team at all... The bandits were mostly locals and were familiar with the terrain, so it was no problem to travel over the mountains at night.

In fact, the large band of gangsters also had to retreat overnight.

There was such a big commotion in Wuhuodun today. Early tomorrow morning, the officers and soldiers outside and inside the mountain will definitely send troops to investigate. If they don't leave, they will be attacked from a flank.

Wuhuo Pier did not go deep into Taihang, it was just a pier in the mountain pass. Therefore, after the large army came out, they only walked in the dark for an hour before exiting the mountain pass.

The mountain pass is connected in all directions, and you can see the Yixian County seat with lights in the distance. Arriving here, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the Gu family also distributed a group of subordinates on the spot.

Some bandits operating in villages near the mountain pass and around the county town dispersed after receiving the money.

After reducing the team, the remaining men, together with the Guangxi Gang cavalry, changed their route to the south and walked along the foothills of the Taihang Mountains all night. Along the way, from time to time, scattered bandits disappeared into the mountains and forests.

It wasn't until dawn broke that the large team turned into an unknown village at the foot of the mountains.

The terrain of this village is hidden and the area is quite small. There is no doubt that it is the planned foothold of the Taihang Gang.

After arriving at the station, after many journeys, battles, and night marches, the large team was already exhausted. The two forces had no other thoughts at the moment. Both sides arranged for sentry duty, locked the meat tickets into the empty house, and then fell to the fellow villagers.

He fell asleep soundly in the dirt pit at home.

It was a solid sleep. It was not until dinner time that the two leaders, who were finally resurrected with full health, met in the big wooden house in the middle of the village in high spirits.

They successfully made a big deal and were in an extremely good mood. After meeting, the two leaders laughed and patted each other on the back. Then they held each other's arms and sat down at several rough wooden tables with their confidants.

Stand up on both sides of the long table.

Smelling the strong smell of mutton in the big pot outside the house, he glanced at the iron bucket of Erguotou that had been prepared next to him. The smiling Master Gu rubbed his belly without noticing anything, and said eagerly: "Damn it, I'm so greedy.

Damn it. Brother, hurry up, hurry up, brother, I can’t wait to drink a few bowls of whiskey with you!"

"Okay, okay, then hurry up."

Ha Liu, who was also smiling, nodded to an inconspicuous young man with a round face next to him and said, "Hurry up and get ready. Let's have dinner after you finish."

Under the watchful eyes of the two gang leaders, the round-faced young man slowly took out an ink bottle, an iron-tipped dip pen, a pocket abacus, and a stack of high-end business white papers produced in Fuzhou from a cowhide briefcase hanging sideways on his body.

Paper.

Opposite the young man, there was an old accountant wearing fashionable tortoiseshell reading glasses who had been waiting in the village for a long time. In front of him was a traditional pen, ink, paper and inkstone, already ready.

The next moment, the calculation of the division of the spoils officially begins.

The two accountants first exchanged and checked the list of supplies for this harvest. After confirming that it was correct, the young man coughed and read out the harvests assigned to him on the list one by one in Mandarin with a slight southern accent.

The quantity harvested by both parties is mostly negotiated in advance. Now read it over and if no one has any objections, the next step will be based on this ratio.

At this time, the originally noisy room became completely silent, including the faces of the two heads of house, who looked attentively listening.

Since the Guangyi Gang single-handedly killed the horse bandits, according to the rules on the road, the meat tickets, as well as a small amount of supplies and silver that had been promised to the horse bandits were all divided into the harvest of the Guangxi Gang.

After the young man finished reading out the distribution ratios of all supplies, silver coins, and meat tickets, the old man opposite also reported the ratios to his shopkeeper in a low voice, and they were pretty much the same.

"Okay, that's it!"

Gu Dajia, who had a good relationship with the Guangxi Gang, heard that it was generally the distribution ratio that his family deserved before. He did not want to pursue the details and first expressed his agreement.

Seeing that Master Gu was so happy, Ha Liu turned around and whispered a few words to the round-faced young man, and then nodded slowly: "I admit it!"

As soon as the words "Ha Da Gang Leader" were uttered, all the heroes in the room immediately cheered: An agreement on sharing the spoils has been reached.

"Serve the wine, cut the meat, hurry up!"

After a while, as the two rows of wine bowls collided, all the heroes in the room raised their heads, and then they all let out a sigh of relief: "Good wine, it is indeed whiskey puree!"

This is where the victory banquet begins.

After three bowls of wine and five yuan of sheep, everyone was full and a little tipsy, and then the second round of negotiations began in a harmonious and joyful atmosphere.

The second round of negotiations is to discuss the exchange of supplies.

In the past, the most critical part of the first round was to determine the distribution ratio of the total harvest to both parties. In fact, for the Taihang bandits, many of the goods distributed according to the ratio were unnecessary, such as fragile high-end goods.
To be continued...
