At this time, inside the wall of the village, every household was wearing white flags, and every household was crying.
As the leader of the clan, Hu Muban was wearing a white scarf on his head and looking sad. He was leaning on the empty coffin placed in the hall, muttering to himself.
The disciple standing next to him whispered:
"Master of the house, my wife is calling you for food."
When Hu Muban heard this, she raised her head, her eyes red from crying, and cursed:
"The dog maid is the Wang family who harmed my brother. The dog maid dared to be so shy and asked questions. Why didn't she kill herself?"
That Tu Li was an old man from Hu's mother's family. Hearing this, he murmured:
"If Madam is pregnant, it is more important for Yin Si and Hu's mother's family."
Hearing this, Hu Muban choked and finally said bitterly:
"If it weren't for this, I would have hanged this slut, how could I have let her survive until now?"
He stood up and asked his disciple:
"Then Wang Kuang is still kneeling outside?"
Tu Li bowed and said:
"Master, come home, Wang Kuang has not eaten any rice since he was naked and carrying thorns two days ago. Now he has fallen out of hunger outside the road."
Hu Muban yelled:
"I was blind, and I entrusted Biaodi to this person. This time I entered the mountain, but he survived. He told me that Biaodi died fighting hard, how could it not be that he, Wang Kuang, died fighting hard? Mingming abandoned If he flees from the army and dares to talk cleverly, let him starve to death outside."
Tu Li didn't say anything. He knew Hu Muban would still have something to say. Sure enough, Hu Muban cried again:
"Brother Biao and I have lost our parents, we are alone and have nothing to rely on, and we are dependent on each other. But now that God has left Biaodi alone, why not just let him go."
The servant still didn't speak, because Hu Muban still had something to say. As expected, after Hu Muban finished speaking, he said angrily:
"But my mother Hu's family must avenge me. I want to live to avenge Biao Di. So does General Shi believe me?"
Only then did the servant speak. He said respectfully:
"Master, we got news from the Tang and Zhou Dynasties in Jinan. This general Shi is not an ordinary mountain bandit, but a leader of their Taiping Road. Since he entered the mountain a year ago, he has attacked and suppressed the bandits, and now he has stood in the entire northern part of Mount Tai. "
Hu Muban pondered, this matter is a bit difficult to handle.
The servant knew what Hu Muban was thinking, and replied to Hu Muban:
"That's what I think. If Tang Zhou can tell us who General Shi is, the two of them are not the same. We all think that General Shi is just a group of thieves who cut the path. We will attack and destroy them directly. We don't expect that there will be many people on Taiping Road." talk."
Hu Muban thought for a while and said uncertainly:
"This matter needs to be discussed again. Before you let people enter the mountain, first find a few bandits who are familiar with us and see what they say."
Unexpectedly, the servant said:
"I think Wang Kuang is the perfect candidate to join the mountain. If we detain his family this time, how dare he not die?"
Hu’s mother class walked back and forth and decided:
"Okay, you have someone drag Wang Kuang in, feed him some millet, and allow him to feed him for two days before letting me go into the mountain. I want him to find out all the details about General Shi."
At this time, there was a dock outside Linji City in Le'an. The plain outside the dock was covered with hundreds of large tents. Thousands of people were kneeling outside the tents, facing the east, chanting:
"Only Huangtian is the parent of all things; only human beings are the spirit of all things."
His voice is like a loud bell, his etiquette is solemn, and his face is solemn.
Cai Que, who came with Zhang Chong's mission, stood on the wall of the dock and looked at the scene of the believers worshiping, and was speechless with horror.
This Le'an Taiping Road is amazing!
The followers who were guiding him over there were also kneeling and worshiping. Cai did not want to be independent, so he could only imitate their actions, face the east, and murmur to himself.
Listen carefully to Cai Que’s words:
"Please Miss Zhao, please don't eat my favorite food anymore. I'm really fat."
After a while, the guidance was over, and Cai Que was invited back to the wall. Xu He, the Taiping Taoist from Le'an State, was waiting for him in the hall.
When Cai Que saw Xu He and talked about Zhang Chongyi, Xu He laughed and joked:
"My brother is very impatient. Before I even found him, he came to me."
He looked at Cai Que below, admiring him with eyes full of admiration. He stood up and touched Cai Que's shoulders, then hammered his chest, praising him as a good man. Then he stroked his belly and said jokingly:
"What's your abdominal circumference?"
Cai Que calmly took a step back,
"It is true that the waist and abdomen are very large."
Xu Hedang didn't see Cai Que retreat, so he only stepped forward to caress his belly and praised:
"You are a really fierce general, this is the general's belly."
Saying that, Xu He was about to take off the goose-yellow girdle that he had tied around his waist and give it to Cai Que. But after taking it off several times, he failed.
How could Cai Que dare to ask him to take off his clothes? He quickly bowed down and refused.
In fact, Xu He was in a mood for a while. He also liked this girdle, otherwise he would still be unable to get rid of the girdle. Seeing Cai Que, he realized what he was interested in, secretly let out a breath, and then said boldly:
"When I say goodbye, I will give Mr. Cai a handful of good bones to help you achieve success on the battlefield."
Cai Que was overjoyed, this is good!
Later, Xu He invited Cai Que to sit down, and asked someone to serve Cai Que three measures of millet and a pork leg. Then the two of them chatted while eating.
Mainly Xu He asked and Cai Que answered. Xu He has always been curious about Zhang Chong's strength, especially since he got a batch of armor from his side. He became more and more curious about the strength of Taishan Fang, which will be related to big things later.
, how to distribute seizures.
However, Cai Que was a newcomer and had been following Zhang Chong, so he knew very little about Taishan Fang's strength. Moreover, even though Cai Que was a fool, he was actually quite astute.
Also, those who can surrender neatly in battle will not be able to do so if they are not clever.
So, when Xu He asked Cai Que, how many troops were there on Mount Tai?
Then Cai Que is stupid and has to reply:
"Many."
"Taishan Fang, who is the leader?"
"Many."
"Taishan Fang, how much riding geometry?"
"Many."
After a few times, Xu He knew that Cai Zhen was playing tricks on him, and he was a little angry. This man looked stupid, how could he be so slippery?
Humph! Tie Guduo won’t give it to him anymore.
Xu He also knew that nothing could be learned from this man, and there was no interest in the conversation. He only asked Zhang Chong to lead a thousand troops and meet at Yedu, fifty miles east of Linji, fifteen days later.
After the surrender, he sent Cai Que back, and with him was a Taiping Taoist from Yile'an State, who would lead Zhang Chong to Nayedu.
Finally, Cai Que took a handful of high-quality hoop wire bones and bid farewell to Xu He happily, and then the two riders hurried back towards Mount Tai.
In the end, Xu He still gave Cai Que a handful of iron bone flowers.
There is no way, this Le'an Xu He is a hero who loves strong men, what does it mean to have an iron bone flower?
When Cai Que rushed back to Mount Tai and told Zhang Chong about Xu He's arrangement, Zhang Chong didn't say a word.
Cai Qingzheng was puzzled and saw all the generals in the hall with their brows furrowed and their expressions serious. Just when he was worried about whether Xu He was cheating, he heard Heifu, who was recovering from his injury, throwing up his arms and yelling angrily:
"He, that Zang Jie was so majestic that he dared to ask us to pay tribute. He gave Heifu five hundred soldiers, and Heifu destroyed them for him."
As soon as Hei Fu finished speaking, all the generals were competing for the lead. The one said he only needed four hundred, the other said he only needed three hundred, and the most powerful one was Ding Sheng. He said that he could kill the thieves with just one hand.
All the generals were silent and looked at Ding Sheng.
Ding Sheng shrank and said sarcastically:
"Nai Gong said he would fight Zang Pifu alone, fight alone."
All the generals looked down upon him, and only Zhang Chong was thinking silently.
