4. The plot of the Valley Fort

The ancients said: Hundreds of battles asked for thousands of miles of horses, but the bamboo forest thieves in Fangzhou wanted not only horses, but also money, but also knives, guns, territory, and of course, women.

Zhushuihe is the nest of the bamboo forest in Fangzhou and their battlefield.

In the deep mountains and old forests west of Beijing, there are many robbers and bandits. They either occupy the mountain as kings, or fall grass as bandits, or live in seclusion in the remote countryside. When there is no food or money, they will come out to gather people to rob. There are hundreds of people, dozens of people, and a lone rangers like wild horses, such as bamboo forest thieves in Fangzhou. The team of people is rare.

Although the people on the road don't say it, the bamboo forest thieves in Fangzhou have long been famous, as if they have become the head of the dragons. Everyone is intentionally or unintentionally approaching them, hoping to cooperate in a few big deals and live a lifetime.

On September 5th, a good man from the three mountains and five mountains was welcomed on the Zhushui River Dagu Fort. In fact, he was just some robber leaders and robber brothers. This time, he came here at the invitation of Li Tiegun for a matter.

Don't get me wrong. Their rally is not to elect the leader of the martial arts alliance or to select the best thief leader of the year, but to plot a shocking event.

The main figures who participated in this conspiracy are Wudang python gentleman Chen Fu, Jingzhou Laozhai live Yan Wang Tang Niu, Zhushan daughter cave master stone traitor, powder river three heroes Wu Feng, Wu Lang, Wu Xia, nine flying thief Liang Gongming, and more than 50 heroes.

These people have their own backgrounds and their own territory. Their backgrounds are not small or simple. Among them, Chen Fu, a thieves and gentleman, is the most powerful martial arts. Chen Fu is a traitor to Wudang. He not only bullied his teacher and destroyed his ancestors, but also raped the precious daughter of the previous leader, so he was expelled from the master and was chased and killed by Wudang's colleagues. However, he collected a group of robbers exiled here with his super martial arts skills, so he set himself up his own door and dominated the party in the Wudang Mountain south of Junzhou. Five or six hundred outlaws.

Li Tiegun came to him because he was familiar with the area of Junzhou and his people.

Besides, Tang Niu, the living king of the world in Jingzhou Laozhai, is a one-eyed water thief active in the area of Xiangzhou. He has more than 300 people who are good at fighting. He is used to sailing boats on the water like the wind and kills people without blinking an eye. He was invited to come because Xiangzhou and Fangzhou are neighbors, and they are indispensable if they want to do something.

Zhushan's daughter cave owner stone traitor, formerly known as Shi En, is a person from Zhushan County. She has passed the martial arts examination and is from the same hometown as Li Tiegang. She is coiled on the blocked river, and there are more than a hundred people and horses. With him on his side, the momentum will be greater.

Wu Feng, Wu Lang and Wu Xia, the three heroes of Fanshui River, are Zigui people from Guizhou, two men and one woman. Half of them are slaves who escaped from the barbarian tribes in the nearby mountains, and the other half are local evacuees who have lost their land. These people usually fish on the blocked river south of Fangzhou, only robbing merchant ships, and Jing. The old village of the state is familiar with Tang Niu.

Nine flying thief Liang Gongming, a Shangzhou person, a Lone Ranger, his method of climbing the city is unique. He once worked in the horse thief team of Guo Mio Mountain. Later, he ran away. Li Tiegun came to him for a long-term plan, and also to successfully capture the valley city and bury the ambush.

After the plot began, the gate of the cottage was slowly closed, and a team of people guarded in front of the village. Behind him was a huge cottage, quietly. Only the white clouds floated leisurely overhead. The engrossed soldiers standing in the building were staring at the movement at the foot of the mountain, monitoring the ships coming and going. Maintaining vigilance was their only mission at this time.

The sky is high above, and under the blue sky is a house that is chiseled halfway up the mountain, as big as a palace, full of people. The sun shines into the house from the windows on all sides, falls to the ground, and flows quietly. People hold their breath and look at Li Tieqiang, that Wei Wu's man, they worship him, but they worship the woman beside him, the woman named Yun Niang.

"Have you heard about Jinzhou?" Li Tiegun asked with his back against the tiger leather chair.

"Of course, there was such a big noise that I think even the capital heard it." Chen Fu, a thief from Wudang, picked up the tea bowl and blew it, and then said slowly.

"Fuck!" Tang Niu from Jingzhou Old Village suddenly stood up and patted his bald head and said, "Guo Yaoshan's old man is so boring that he swallows such a large amount of money alone. I think he is so happy this time. If everyone agrees, let's visit him another day and burn his bird's nest and steal his money by the way."

"Hahaha" Zhushan's daughter cave owner laughed and said, "Tang Zhaizhu, you are greedy. Guo Yaoshan's team is not the same as before. Do you dare to touch him? We can't tie him together, or don't be delusional."

"You" Tang Niu's eyes stood up and just about to pat the table. Wu Feng, one of the three heroes of the Powder River, stood up and persuaded him, "They are all our own brothers. Don't hurt the harmony, don't hurt the harmony. We are here today to listen to Boss Li, not to quarrel. Let's ask Boss Li to continue. Let's all listen."

Wu Feng punched Li Tiejian, and everyone looked at him coincidentally. The powerful man slowly stood up, walked to the hall with his hands behind his hands, looked around, and glanced at everyone's face. The hot eyes were unforgettable, warm, but frightening.

"Everyone, do you know how many things Jinzhou has lost this time?" Li Tiegun asked.

"I don't know, please ask Mr. Li to say it directly." Someone answered.

"Okay, I'll tell you." Li Tiegun took a few steps forward, and then stopped. A ray of golden sunlight fell on him, setting off his tall and powerful figure.

"Jinzhou lost 3,000 pieces of armor, 5,000 pieces of weapons, and 3,000 fire sticks..."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Chen Fu stood up and asked, "Mr. Li, you remember correctly. It is said that there are only a thousand sets of armor, 2,000 weapons, and a thousand muskets."

"That's right, Lord Chen Zhai, what you see is only the government's notice. They just don't want to be laughed at by others when they say this, but I have someone here to prove that he knows how much things have been lost in Jinzhou's armor warehouse."

Li Tiegun raised his hand and made an invitation to the nine flying thief Liang Gongming. Liang Gongming quickly got up and came to the hall. He hugged the people present and said, "To be honest, this attack on Xunyang was in the city. When the city was broken, the door was opened below, so I know how many things Boss Guo and others robbed. "

"Oh, is that so?" Everyone was shocked and asked again.

"Yes, as Boss Li said, Jinzhou suffered heavy losses this time, with 3,000 pieces of armor, 5,000 pieces of weapons, and 3,000 fire sticks..."

Then, Liang Gongming excitedly talked about the war that day, and said how much things and how much food he robbed after the city was destroyed. Then how many people and horses were armed by Guo Mioshan and his group. He planned to train his troops to go south to Jinghu Road and find a feng shui treasure to occupy the mountain as the king.

As soon as the people here heard this, they were excited and talked about it. Some people said that it was good, waiting for Guo Mioshan to come over, so that they could take the opportunity to join in and go south together. Others said that Guo Mishan was too swaggering and would attract the court's full pursuit. Some people held different opinions and thought that Guo Mio Shan is just talking. How could he leave his own territory? That's what he worked so hard to fight down.

Of course, there are others who think that Guo Mioshan will take the opportunity to swallow their people. In short, everyone thinks differently.

After a while, Li Tiegun said loudly, "Everyone, be quiet, be quiet, listen to me."

After a stinging, the temple became quiet again, and the warm sun passed through everyone's face.

"Let's not mention the matter of Guo Yaoshan. Today, Mr. Li invited you here for another matter, which is related to everyone's future. Do you want to hear it?"

"Old Master Li doesn't have to file a lawsuit. Come on," Chen Fu echoed.

"Okay, then Mr. Li said that we have been in the area of Fangzhou for a long time. Although there is no shortage of clothes and less clothing, how much do you know about things outside? Maybe everyone thinks that Song Xia is going to make peace, because we lost the battle in the Song Dynasty. Maybe everyone also heard that the envoy of Liao came to the Song Dynasty again, threatening not to send the New Year. The currency war began. Recently, many forbidden troops from all over the country have been transferred to the north. This is true. Li also heard from businessmen, but things in the world have changed too fast. In the past, Li had not heard of muskets, but in the blink of an eye, the northwest border army actually had muskets, even Fangzhou. You know Fangzhou magistrate Chen Xi Liang recently sent a team of people to kill me."

"I heard, Boss Li, go on," someone replied.

"A thousand people, five hundred axes, five hundred musketeers. Li sent 2,000 people to ambush on the road. It took more than 500 casualties to kill them, but they couldn't all be destroyed. They ran away 300 people, but Li had 200 guns."

Speaking of this, Li Tiegun ordered someone to carry a large wooden box and put it in the center of the hall. After opening it, he took out ten muskets without guns and handed them to the people around them. After looking at it, they coincidentally made a voice of exclam and envy.

"President Li, can you give me one?" Someone asked.

"This is really a coincidence. Envy people are also envious of people," someone said.

"I don't know if it's really that powerful?" Some people also have doubts.

In order to satisfy their curiosity, Li Tiegun invited these people to the empty place at the foot of the mountain. It had been arranged for a long time. It became like a shooting range. There were more than a dozen wooden stakes standing a hundred steps away and ten big pumpkins in turn. Li Tiegun personally aimed his gun at a pumpkin in the blink of an eye and smashed it to pieces.

Next, Wudang thief Chen Fu, Jingzhou Laozhai Tang Niu, Zhushan's stone traitor and others were also lucky enough to shoot a few shots, and were lucky enough to hit the pumpkin a hundred steps away.

Although they didn't have the best, everyone present saw the power of the musket. In the afternoon of the same day, Li Tiegun told everyone his intention in the cave halfway up the mountain. It turned out that he wanted to cooperate with them to attack Gucheng. The armor warehouse in Xiangzhou was guarded by heavy soldiers, and there were indeed muskets hidden there. It's not too late. Li Tiegun plans to go to Gucheng in three days. If everyone is willing, they can work together inside and outside, and share what they get together after it's done.

There are many garrison in Gucheng, at least 2,000 people in the city, and there are still 1,000 at the foot of Gushan outside the city. In addition, the Guanghua army is 50 miles north of Hanshui. Although there are not many people, the 100 cavalry is not a joke. Once they encounter unimaginable in the open space, as for the distance between Xiangzhou, There is no need to worry about their rescue.

In order to make no mistake, Li Tiegun invited them to join. Except for a few timid withdrawals, most of them agreed, and the main participants strongly agreed.

In this way, in addition to Li Tieqiang's 1,500 people, there were many people who joined. Wudang thief Chen Fu was willing to send 300 troops, Jingzhou Laozhai Tang Niu sent 200 troops, Zhushan's daughter cave treachers sent 100 troops, and the pink water river three heroes sent a hundred soldiers, and the nine flying thief Liang Gongming was willing to sneak into the valley to wait for the opportunity to move in the city and set fire. No.

In this way, the big event was settled. After only three days, people from all walks of life arrived at the designated place and broke through the valley city with an order.
