Jie Wen Dongyuan was patrolling the stronghold. He was suddenly summoned and did not dare to neglect. He hurried to the temple.
He is an ordinary man of medium height, with a temperament and appearance that are no different from those of ordinary wealthy farmers. He does not have a gangster "look" like many of his companions. He was born in Orion, has never studied, and is illiterate, but
I have been in good shape since I was young. In the bandit den of Chaoshan Village, I started as a gangster and climbed to the position of second shopkeeper step by step.
Perhaps it was because of his great ability, or perhaps because he was good at winning people's hearts, which aroused the suspicion of the big shopkeeper. So a fire in Chao Shanzhai inevitably happened. The originally weak Jie Dongyin Yang
He recruited people to help him and killed the big shopkeeper.
Although he killed the big shopkeeper, he was still not the boss. Yang Juren became his new master. He was convinced by Yang Juren because Yang Jinghui was a Juren—in a place like Guangning, a Juren master could be the county magistrate.
He was an equal figure, a figure that no one in the county could afford to offend. Not only did the official forces respect him, but they, the big gods, still didn't dare to offend him.
Although he was convinced, his situation was not much better. Although Yang Jinghui seemed to think highly of him and not only rewarded him heavily after taking Chaoshan stronghold, but also appointed him as the "knowledge" of Chaoshan stronghold, but he knew that Yang Juren
They didn't trust him. This made Jie Wendong have to be cautious, for fear of arousing the suspicion of the Juren Master.
Compared to Master Yang, he felt that the new Master Zhan was more approachable. Although Master Zhan's name was scary, he was kinder and more sincere to others than Master Yang, and he cared more about himself. Especially the members of the Yang family.
After moving into Chaoshan Village, the Yang family's suspicion of him grew stronger. He tried to change the situation many times, preventing conflicts from breaking out and preventing him from falling into a dangerous situation.
Jie Wendong is a smart man. Although he is an Orion, he may not understand the general trend of the world. He can still see clearly the situation of one prefecture and one county: no matter whether the Yang family is suspicious of him or not, we can only overcome this crisis by working together.
They captured Leidapo, and it was Zhan Zhekun who suggested that he go to Leida Village to become the village commander. Although he could only take half of his old brothers with him after leaving his home base, at least he didn't have to fight with a group of young people in the Chao Village.
The family members were watching him with eager eyes as if they were walking on thin ice. Therefore, they were very grateful to Zhan Zhekun.
"I've seen the master! I've seen the master Zhan!" Jie Wendong saluted and stood with his hands lowered, as if he was respectfully waiting for orders.
"No need to be polite, please sit down and discuss the matter!"
"I don't dare," Jie Wendong looked frightened. "There is no small seat in front of the master."
In the past, if Jie Wendong had been so polite, Yang Jinghui would have done with it. According to him, saying please sit down would have given him enough face - after all, he was just a rough guy. But today, Yang Jinghui listened to Zhan Zhekun's words
, intending to win over, he insisted: "You are the commander of this village. The safety of this village depends on you. Don't underestimate yourself. Please sit down."
Jie Wendong was a little surprised, but not surprised. He thanked him and sat down sideways.
Yang Jinghui exchanged some polite words with him and then asked about the fortification situation of Leidapo.
Although Lei Dapo had never been to Xiewendong in the past, he knew that he had not lived in the stronghold for many years, but he had already visited the whole place. This was a habit of being a bandit for many years. Not only did he need to know where the enemy would attack from, but also
Know where to run when in danger.
He walked around Leidapo for a few times and felt that this was a really good place. Although the place was smaller than Chaoshan Village, the conditions were several times better. In particular, there was abundant water in the mountains and a large area of flat land, which could cultivate hundreds of acres.
Fruit trees and tea trees can also be planted on other slopes. A few hundred people can be self-sufficient. Moreover, the terrain here is much more difficult and dangerous than that of the mountain village. The three gaps leading up the mountain can be defended without investing too much manpower in repairing the city walls -
Compared with the wall that was built for more than ten miles before and after the Chaoshan village, Xin Laonan only built three village gates. Not long ago, they captured Leidapo. Without Master Zhan's plan of combining inside and outside, Master Yang's team would not have been able to defeat it at all.
Don't come in.
"...This is really a geomantic treasure land!" Jie Wendong said, "It goes without saying that it is steep. After a small survey of the entire village, there are only three roads up the mountain."
The most commonly used and best way to walk is of course Feng Haijiao's route to Huangdangou. The mountain is relatively flat, but at the bottom of the mountain is Daximen.
The road from Huangdangou stops abruptly here, and the originally gentle mountain suddenly appears with a cliff seven to eight feet high. The Great West Gate is on the cliff at the bottom of the mountain bend. To enter, you have to walk along the cliff.
The zigzag stone road on the cliff is zigzag up. Not only is the road difficult and dangerous, but the entire journey is within the range of bows and arrows and muskets at both ends of the mountain bend. In addition, there are rolling logs and rocks on the village gate. It is difficult to attack it.
The difficulty can be imagined.
Even if you can break through the Great West Gate, there is another three miles of steep mountain road going up along the Great West Gate, and there is a stone gate on the way. After passing the second stone gate, go up again to reach the main gate of Leida Village. It is the entrance and exit of the village.
the right path.
The other two are much more difficult, one of which is the Donglai Gate to the east of the village. This stone gate stands on the ridge. The road winds along the ridge. There are cliffs on both sides of the ridge, and the road can only accommodate two people walking side by side.
The third road is in the north, not far from the Donglai Gate. People in the village call it the Xiaobei Gate. The reason why it is called "small" is because this gate is rarely used. Ask about the leadership of the old people in the village.
I once went to see the stone path on the cliff. Although the mountain road is less than a mile, which is much closer than the Daximen and Donglaimen, the stone path on the cliff is almost vertical.
You have to use your hands and feet to go up and down the mountain. If you are not careful, there is a risk of falling off the cliff and dying. Even if there is no one guarding you, as long as there is no door waiting for you, you will not be able to enter even if you climb up the hillside to the door, so there are almost no people walking on weekdays.
.
"No wonder Xin Laonan hasn't been able to unite his troops for so many years. Just relying on his dozens of people can hold the position securely." Yang Jinghui said, "Without Mr. Zhan's clever plan this time, we really wouldn't have been able to win."
"Although Xin Laonan is old and confused, in the final analysis he is still guilty of being greedy." Zhan Zhekun smiled, "If he were not greedy for money, how could we earn it with a few boxes of soft goods?"
"It was also the leader of the group who took the lead and fought bravely to seize the door. Only then can we occupy this Feng Shui treasure land." Yang Jinghui praised with a smile.
Jie Wendong quickly stood up and crossed his hands and said, "My master's words are serious."
Zhan Zhekun waved his hand for him to sit down and said: "We are not the only ones who have taken a fancy to this feng shui treasure land."
Yang Jinghui naturally understood what he meant. Only he and Zhan Zhekun in Zhuangzi knew about the matter of luring Feng Haijiao up the mountain and annexing his people, horses and property. Jie Wendong did not know.
Sure enough, Jie Wendong looked confused and said, "Could it be that the bandits are planning to attack here?"
"The female county magistrate of the thief is too busy dealing with big families to deal with us." Zhan Zhekun said leisurely, "It's Feng Haijiao."
"Is it him?!" Jie Wendong's mind was spinning like a windmill. He had heard from Zhan Zhekun and others about Feng Haijiao and others. This could be regarded as their "ally" in Yangshan, a local hegemon.
.The current situation in Yangshan is not good. It should be said that Feng Haijiao took refuge in the mountain to avoid the limelight.
However, Zhan Zhekun's meaningful words and Yang Juren's vague smile made him realize that there was something else in this. Could it be...
Jie Wendong didn't dare to act stupid or appear too smart, so he followed the words and said, "Could it be that Feng Haijiao also wants to occupy this Leida Slope?"
"Exactly." Zhan Zhekun said seriously, "Once Sun Dabiao dies, he will no longer be able to stand in Qinglianwei. He must change his place. Where is the most suitable place to locate in Yangshan? Naturally, this is it."
"The younger one immediately went to make arrangements and asked the brothers to prepare more rolling logs and stones to give them a full meal!" Jie Wendong suddenly stood up and made a gesture to go out.
"There's no need to worry." Zhan Zhekun smiled and waved his hands, "Why is this necessary? Now that he's here, we not only have to open the village gate to welcome him in, but you also have to send some brothers down the mountain to help him pack all the luggage.
Bring it up."
Jie Wendong pretended to suddenly realize: "It turns out that Master is trying to catch a turtle in an urn!"
"Well said!" Yang Jinghui clapped his hands and laughed, "I didn't expect that you, a rough man, can also use a few idioms."
"The master is laughing." Xie Wen Dong said with a smile.
"It's always a good idea to dissolve the group. Feng Haijiao doesn't know the situation on the mountain yet, and he has the idea of occupying the magpie's nest." Zhan Zhekun said, twirling his beard, "He also wants to swallow Xin Laonan's inheritance. Let's
Just use this as bait to catch turtles in an urn!"
"It's indeed a brilliant idea."
Zhan Zhekun was quite proud of himself. This strategy had been set since Bi Xuansheng came to him. These days, Feng Haijiao was collecting food and wages in Yangshan, and his strength expanded rapidly, but he still had no intention of dealing with the Kun thieves.
. He only cared about getting rich and grabbing territory, but he never sent troops to attack the Kun thieves.
After the fire in Dalangwei, the situation in the county was very good for a while. Zhan Zhekun went all out and sent people to Qinglianwei several times to persuade Feng Haijiao to send troops and attack the county together with Sun Dabiao. However, Feng Haijiao always responded to the incident and only sent one
They plundered some people around the county town. As soon as the thieves left the city, he retreated. Sun Dabiao was so angry that he jumped to his feet.
Zhan Zhekun knew that he was a slippery bachelor, and it was useless to push him too much. If he got anxious, he might bite him back, so he could only endure it. This time he used a little trick to lure this bachelor into a trap.
Feng Haijiao has been a bandit for many years, so his family must be rich. By annexing his men, horses and money, Yang Juren's strength can be raised to a higher level - naturally, the color of Yang Jiajun will also be a little lighter.
He looked at Jie Wendong, who was listening attentively, and whispered: "Feng Haijiao will be able to go up the mountain at noon the day after tomorrow. You can make arrangements..."
