Chapter 246: Jiang Menshen happily pokes Jinyan Biao with his gun, and Wu Erlang makes things difficult in Huazhou City
Yang Zhi was surprised.
He was convinced of Li Yunze's extraordinary martial arts and admired his outstanding character.
But what I never expected was that Li Yunze actually had a clear family background in everything he did in the army.
Even though their team only has less than 2,000 people, it is not an easy task to make arrangements for the food, drink, sleep, and sleep of these 2,000 people and then take them thousands of miles to Guanzhong.
Yang Zhi knew that all the low-ranking officers in Li Yunze's army were newcomers, sons of good families who had just put down their hoes.
He originally thought that it was time for him to show off, but what he never expected was that Li Yunze actually arranged everything in an orderly manner.
I watched helplessly as Li Yunze issued various precise orders calmly and smoothly, arranging everything properly.
Yang Zhi's whole body was about to turn to stone.
Are there really people in this world who are born with knowledge?
When the army went out, they first went to Daming Mansion, where they visited Liang Zhongshu and obtained a letter from him to the Qinfeng Road transfer envoy.
Li Yunze knew very well that in this kind of large-scale combat involving hundreds of thousands of troops, given the Western Army's tradition of trapping friendly forces, there was no telling when he would be trapped.
This is not that he is slandering the Western Army, but that this is exactly what the Western Army did.
After leaving Daming Mansion and heading west, when passing through Xiangzhou, Li Yunze visited his master Zhou Tong again.
"Senior brother." Xiao Yuefei groaned for a long time, wanting to ask for help but was embarrassed to say it.
"You are too young, now is not the time." Zhou Tong naturally knew what he was thinking.
Young people who practice martial arts always think about the big scene, and going into battle to kill the enemy is their dream.
"I'm not young anymore." The stubborn Yue Fei raised his head and responded, "My bones are strong and I can go into battle!"
"Haha~~~" Li Yunze joked, "Okay, I'll stand here. As long as you can put me down to the ground, I promise to take you to the battlefield."
Zhou Tong nodded with a smile and took the initiative to give up his position.
Yue Fei was overjoyed when he heard this, "Seriously?"
"One spit and one nail!"
Yue Fei immediately got out of the way, yelled angrily and rushed forward to hold each other's shoulders with Li Yunze.
Sumo wrestling was popular in the Northern Song Dynasty, and Yue Fei also used corresponding moves.
Li Yunze allowed him to use his strength, smiling as he watched Yue Fei's face turn red, but he couldn't shake himself at all.
After all, he was definitely full of confidence when it came to competing in strength.
After carrying it for a while, when Yue Fei was exhausted, Li Yunze took a step forward and knocked him to the ground with a backhand.
"Boy." Li Yunze squatted down and looked at him with a smile. "You are still young. Let's lay a solid foundation with the master first. There will be many opportunities in the future for things like going into battle to kill the enemy."
Yue Fei simply lay down on the ground, covered his face with his hands and said nothing.
"I'm going to take this kid out to have a great time." Before leaving, Zhou Tong said, "The foundation has been laid, it's time for him to expand his horizons."
"That's how it should be." Li Yunze left a sentence, "Hide and let junior brother see the gloom of this world and see how miserable the people are living."
Zhou Tong looked at him doubtfully and nodded slightly after a moment.
The army continued to move forward, passing through Zhoulu County and arriving at Mengzhou.
Mengzhou's troops are not allowed to enter the city. This is also the routine operation of the turbans.
Li Yunze entered the city with his personal entourage, and asked the Yamen for food and grass, but was rejected.
Of course, the words must be nice to say, 'This state does not have excess food and grass to supply the troops passing through the border, so you can find a way by yourself.'
This is indeed a nice thing to say, at least it didn't directly say "Go away~~~"
The scholar-bureaucrats of the Song Dynasty were so arrogant.
After leaving the Yamen, Li Yunze arranged for his followers to go to the city to purchase military supplies, mainly grain, vegetables and meat.
Mengzhou City is very prosperous here, as long as you have money you can buy anything.
Li Yunze, who had nothing to do, wandered around the city.
When I arrived at the bustling place outside the east gate, I saw two groups of people fighting in the street.
Fighting is very common, but one of them is extremely tall, at least nine feet tall, standing out from the crowd, which caught Li Yunze's attention.
This man has a majestic figure. When fighting, he is like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. He flies away when he bumps into him, and gets up when he throws him away. His sumo wrestling skills are superb.
Li Yunze got off his horse, walked into the melon-eating crowd, and asked the man who saw the excitement, "What's going on?"
When the man saw him, he bit the cucumber skillfully but said nothing.
Li Yunze smiled slightly and took out a piece of broken silver from his pocket.
"So that the officials will know." The man hurriedly put away the broken silver and immediately stretched out his hand to explain, "The group over there is from the management of the camp, and the leader is Shi En Shi Ya Nei of the small management camp, who is known as Jinyan Biao in the world."
Then he pointed to the tall, muscular man, "The group over there is the local gangster Jiang Zhong, who is nicknamed Jiang Menshen."
"This street was originally the territory of Xiaoguan Ying, but Jiang Menshen took advantage of his height and strength to directly take over it. Naturally, the two sides started to fight."
Hearing this, Li Yunze was happy, "Xiao Guanying has his father's support. That Jiang Menshen is just a gangster, and he doesn't seem to have any head or six arms. How can he compete with that Shi En?"
The melon-eating man immediately laughed and gave Li Yunze a thumbs up, "The senior officials are knowledgeable at first sight. Just by looking at Jiang Menshen, naturally he would not dare to compete with Xiao Guanying. But this Happy Forest is the most prosperous place in Mengzhou.
, we can receive hundreds of dollars of oil and water every month. In the past, this place was dominated by small management camps, so naturally some people were jealous."
At this point, the melon-eater lowered his voice: "Of course there are people behind you, Jiang Menshen. They are Zhang Dujian and Zhang Tuanlian from this state. Naturally, they don't like the old Guanying."
"Haha~~~"
To put it bluntly, it was just a group of subordinate officials supporting the Vigor Society to fight for territory, and one of them was the son of a subordinate official who ended up personally involved.
After fighting and fighting, the unlucky people are still the people here. No matter which side wins, the property fees still have to be paid.
If someone is injured during a fight or a stall or shop is destroyed, you will have to consider yourself unlucky.
In other words, there is nothing good about it.
Li Yunze sneered again and again, seeing that the golden-eyed Biao Shi En was about to lose, he took half of the cucumber in the hand of the melon-eating man with his backhand.
"Uh~~~" The man was stunned, not knowing what this outsider was going to do.
But it didn't matter. Half a cucumber was exchanged for an ingot of broken silver. It was obvious that I had earned it.
He took out another cucumber and continued to eat the melon and watch the fun.
Jiang Menshen, who already had a short gun in his hand, relied on his strong and tall body that could play basketball to directly suppress Shi En.
After a few shots, Shi En was lying on the ground unable to get up.
Of course, he knew that Shi En's father was in charge of the camp, so he wouldn't kill him.
The tip of the short gun in his hand was pressed against Shi En's neck. Jiang Menshen laughed proudly, "Xiao Guanying, if you lose this time, this Happy Forest will belong to me, Jiang Menshen!"
'Pooh!'
Shi En spat out bloodshot saliva and glared at the super strong man in front of him fiercely. He was about to say a few harsh words to save some face, but he was shocked to see the gun head close at hand.
He thrust forward suddenly and pierced his own throat!
This sudden change made everyone dumbfounded.
The melon-eating man stared stupidly at the tragic scene in front of him. He could clearly see that the outsider beside him threw half a cucumber and hit it on the leg of Jiang Menshen!
Jiang Menshen, who was struggling on his legs, subconsciously rushed forward, causing the short spear in his hand to directly pierce Xiao Guanying's throat!
He subconsciously turned around to look for it, but was shocked to see that there was no one around him!
The man was obviously frightened. He looked around and hurriedly hid the half of the cucumber in his hand. He kept backing up and retreated from the crowd before running away in a hurry.
It's one thing to get injured in a fight over territory, but it's another thing to lose someone's life.
Moreover, the person who died was the son of the local camp manager, so the situation immediately changed.
A few days later, Jiang Menshen, who had fled to the border of Huaizhou, was caught up, surrounded and killed by the people in charge of the camp.
Later, Mengzhou Guanying and the real mastermind behind Jiang Menshen, Zhang Doujian and Zhang Tuanlian, started fighting openly and secretly. The fighting was extremely brutal and even affected the local order in Mengzhou.
After Zhang Tuanlian died at home, Mengzhou Zhizhou personally took action and imprisoned Guanying to await punishment.
The prison guard is the boss of the cell, and locking him in prison is tantamount to letting him guard himself.
A few days later, Zhang Doujian was executed on the spot by the management team on the main road of Happy Forest.
As for Guanying, he fled the world from then on, and no one knows his whereabouts.
Li Yunze did not know about these subsequent stories and had no interest in paying attention to them.
He had already arrived in Huazhou at this time.
The most famous place in Huazhou is of course Huashan, and Huazhou is named after Huashan.
However, in addition to Huashan, there is another famous mountain in Huazhou, and that is Shaohua Mountain.
When Li Yunze led his army to pass by this place, he was invited to a banquet by the governor of Huazhou.
"Congratulations to Mr. Xun." After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Li Yunze put down his wine glass and looked at the Huazhou Prefect, "I wonder what you have to deal with when Xun is here?"
"Hey~~~" He Taishou, who was dressed in the standard Song Dynasty scholar-bureaucrat's attire, sighed and put down his wine glass with a distressed look on his face. "The general doesn't know that there is a group of strongmen occupying Shaohua Mountain in this prefecture. They are robbing homes and disturbing the place. This officer is really embarrassed."
It’s a headache.”
"Where is the Huazhou garrison?" Li Yunze asked calmly, "Why not send troops to suppress the bandits?"
"The general is also a member of the army. He should know that the grain ban army cannot fight." Governor Na He sighed repeatedly, "The bandits failed to be suppressed, but they were suppressed by the strong men on Shaohua Mountain. I saw that the general's troops and horses were strong, so I specially invited the general.
Get rid of this scourge for the people of Huazhou!"
Governor He learned that soldiers and horses from other provinces were passing through the border, and when he went to watch, he saw that their troops were majestic and well-equipped with armor. He looked like a strong army, so he came up with the idea of borrowing troops.
As for the food embargo, it's not because you, the bandannas, are deducting food and wages. Of course, people who have no food and no wages will not work hard.
As for the talk of eliminating troubles for the people of Huazhou, if Li Yunze hadn't read the original work, he wouldn't have believed it.
The real reason was that Governor He raped a common girl. Shi Jin, the nine-patterned dragon on Shaohua Mountain, learned about this incident and came to rescue him several times, which made him very nervous every time.
In order to eliminate future troubles, he asked warriors to kill the bandits on Shaohua Mountain.
Knowing the ins and outs of the matter, Li Yunze slowly poured himself a glass of wine.
"Ms. He, you have to do things as soon as you talk. This makes it very difficult for me~~~"
