AD 1042

49. Wu Chongmao's plan

Southeast of Fangzhou, 20 miles, Laoya Mountain.

The Rebel Camp.

Li Tiegun met Wu Chongmao, a salt and iron merchant, in the account of the Chinese army. Not to mention how happy he was, he hurriedly invited him to his seat.

Wu Chongmao took off his warm hat, shook the light snow on the straight-stitched wide shirt, came to the front, and held a fist: "Brother, please be worshipped by my little brother!"

"Brother Wu, you're welcome. You're welcome. Hurry up and take your seat!" Li Tiegun returned a salute.

"In this case, I won't be polite"

After sitting down, Li Tiegun asked questions and inquired about Wu Chongmao's recent situation.

Wu Chongmao answered one by one, and the words also revealed the situation in the southwest. He mentioned that Huang Jig, the wizard of Guiyang Yao Renrenda on Jinghu Road, united with the three tribes against the Song Dynasty. A few months ago, he killed Hengzhou inspector Li Yanzuo and Tanzhou Metropolitan Superintendent Zhang Keming, and defeated the Song army.

Zhanshan is the king in the area of Yindong Mountain, Lanshan County.

Even the expedition army of Yang Wei, the prison envoy on Jinghu South Road, was defeated under the lonely mud.

Wu Chongmao asked Li Tiegun to guess how many people there were in Huang Jigfu and others.

"More than 10,000 people, right?" Li Tiegun guessed.

Wu Chongmao smiled and stretched out three fingers.

Li Tiegun exclaimed, "What, won't it be 30,000?"

"No, there are only three thousand!"

"What, three thousand, isn't that equivalent to death?"

"The Yao people are born and grow up, familiar with the local situation, and only Song Jun is killed"

"That..."

A moment later, Wu Chongmao explained his intention to Li Tiegun.

"I want to help my brother and seize Fangzhou"

"Real?"

"There is absolutely no lie, but we need to change the flag"

"What flag?"

"Dashun"

"Why?"

"Brothers don't know that the court's corvée tax is very heavy, forcing many people to destroy their families. Under the banner of Dashun, we oppose the Song Dynasty, claiming that the court is mediocre, the people are not making a living, corrupt officials are rampant, and the ethics are broken. If the people of the world want to live and have enough to eat, they should rise up and reorganize the world. In this way, we Great things can be achieved"

"Okay, this is a good plan, but I want to take Fangzhou City first to avenge my wife and daughter, kill Chen Xiliang and Dou Wu, and ask Brother Wu for help."

"This is simple. My strategy is like this..."

At noon that day, Wu Chongmao saw several other Rebel leaders in Li Tiegun's big tent.

Jingzhou Laozhai Tang Niu, Wudang Chen Fu, Fanshuihe Three Heroes Wu Feng, Wu Lang Wu Xia, Zhushan Cave Stone Treachery.

Wu Chongmao bowed to his brothers, and then explained his intention. Everyone was overjoyed, and the shadow on his heart was finally swept away.

It is said that they want to sneak into the city with Wu Chongmao and act from it.

Li Tiegun told everyone that this matter is too dangerous. Brother Wu also said that assassination is nothing else. It requires agility, strong martial arts, boldness and carefulness. Only two people are enough.

Everyone, look at me, I look at you, I feel that I am agile, strong in martial arts, bold and careful, and want to go to the city with Wu Chongmao to kill officials and make contributions.

However, in the end, only Wu Feng, one of the three heroes of Wudang Chen Fu and Fanshuihe, was selected by Li Tiegun and entered the city with Wu Chongmao.

Before leaving, Chen Fu and Wu Feng changed into green satin-faced servants' clothes, with black silk around their waist and ripe leather boots.

Dress up properly and come to the big tent again to meet Wu Chongmao.

Then, Li Tiegun personally led the brothers to the outside of the gate to see Wu Chongmao and others off.

Terce them to be careful.

Chen Fu said, "Don't worry, the big owner. Chen Xiliang killed so many of my brothers. You have to kill him when you enter the city this time."

Wu Feng also promised: "Our success or failure is in this move. Don't worry, brother, brothers have to work hard to complete their mission."

After noon,

Wu Chongmao took a hundred families and said goodbye to the people who saw them off. See you in Fangzhou City two days later. There is no need to send them far away. It has been three miles. If you send them again, you will be found.

Li Tiegun smiled and stood on the snow in front of the Maodian. He saw Wu Chongmao's caravan go to Fangzhou. He said in his heart: I wish them success and can't lose any more!

After Wu Chongmao left Li Tieqiang's camp, he took the caravan around the mountain and entered the boundary of Fangzhou City from the west.

When the sun was in the west, the caravan came to the Xicheng Pass. Wu Chongmao shouted at the defenders of the head of the city, saying that he was a member of the salt merchant. He had just returned from Kuizhou and asked them to open the gate quickly and let him in.

At this time, Fangzhou City has just gone through a fierce battle. The bones of the city are everywhere, and there is still time to bury them, which is extremely miserable.

In the past few days, it has been hard to save Fangzhou. All the soldiers defending the city are in high spirits and dare not neglect for a moment.

The thief army was only quiet for two days, and his spirit relaxed. He suddenly found that a 100-person caravan came to the city and almost shot arrows randomly.

I didn't expect that he was a martial artist who lived on South Street. This person couldn't afford to offend him. He knew the magistrate Chen Xiliang and had a little friendship with Dou Wu.

The soldiers guarding the city quickly replied, "Wait a minute. The little ones told the inspector that the lord will open the gate for you!"

In a short time, Dou Wu, the inspector, came to the city with a team of people. After a closer look, it was really Wu Chongmao. He also knew the family members around him, Wu Sheng, Wu Chun, Wu En, Sanwu, and the rest were nurses and husbands.

When Wu Chongmao saw Dou Wu coming to the head of the city, he quickly hugged his fist and said, "Lord Dou has worked hard. Wu just came back from Kuizhou. On the way, he heard that Fangzhou was harassed by anti-thieves and did not dare to stay for a moment. As a people of Fangzhou, Wu is willing to donate 500 stones to reward the defenders."

When Dou Wu heard this, he was very happy. He felt that Wu Chongmao was really bold. Like his name, he was not like those profiteers and stingy merchants. This friend was not wrong, so he hurriedly ordered his men to open the gate and let Wu Chongmao into the city.

After entering the city, Wu Chongmao ordered Sanwu to take his family back to his house first. He wanted to say a few words to the inspector.

There are only two pickers around. These two pickers are not others, but Chen Fu and Wu Feng.

After a scent,

Dou Wu went down from the city and was about to return to the house. Unexpectedly, he met Wu Chongmao, who had been waiting for him for a long time on the roadside.

"Your Excellency, thank you for your hard work. How about Wu, would you like to have a cup of tea?"

"Wh well, thank you very much for the martial arts"

"Lord Dou, you're welcome. This way, please!"

Dou Wu was also in the right place to make friends with Wu Chongmao. Unexpectedly, he was invited to tea. Dou Wu did not refuse. He followed Wu Chongmao into the nearby tea house and ordered his men to return to the camp first, and then he arrived.

Wu Chongmao led Dou Wu into Chaliao, found a clean seat with no one, and sat down by the window.

Dr. Tea quickly set up the tea set, brought the good Xiangzhou green tea, and filled two cups.

Wu Chongmao raised the teacup to respect Dou Wu. The two looked at each other and smiled and drank it all.

Next, Wu Chongmao chatted with Dou Wu, talked about his going to the west to do business, and then asked about the situation of Douwu Fangzhou.

Dou Wu told him that the city of Fangzhou is as strong as a rock, and the thunder can't move. The thieves want to attack, but there is no door. As long as they persist for a few more days, Dengzhou's anti-bandit army can fight over. At that time, the inside and outside will annihilate the anti-thieves in one fell swoop.
