    Chapter 400: Recruiting Suo Chao

    At this time, the city gates of Damingfu were closed, the suspension bridge hung high, the antlers in the moat were rugged, and the soldiers on the city walls patrolled cautiously, looking like a big battle was coming.

    Ten miles outside Daming Mansion, Lin Chong's Leopard Camp and Li Kui's Bear Camp were set up on a flat ground.

    At this time, Lin Chong and Li Kui were discussing in the tent.

    Then he saw Li Kui rolling up his sleeves and yelling angrily. Then he gasped for air and shouted: "God damn Suo Chao, you really deserve to die. This bird man is so angry that I'm so angry! He actually led his troops to defend. It's really abominable. Don't do it."  Let me catch him, or else I will chop him alive, cut him into thousands of pieces, cut him to pieces with thousands of knives, and throw him into the river to feed the fish! I am so angry with you, so angry with you!"

    Seeing Li Kui roaring again and again, Lin Chong snorted: "Tieniu, don't chirp, it makes me have a headache, and I'm upset now! You didn't listen to Dai Zong, the other troops have completed their tasks, and we are the only two left, huh  , What a disgrace! How could I, the Leopard Battalion, not be the leader of the entire army? Only Guan Sheng's Qinglong Broadsword Battalion can be put in my eyes. But now, it has been reduced to the bottom, which is really annoying and hateful!"

    Li Kui shouted: "Old Lin, please let me send troops. I will lead the elephant battalion to attack the city and we will definitely capture Daming Mansion! If we don't capture Daming Mansion, I, Tieniu, am willing to pluck off my head and give it to you! ***, I still don't believe it.  !¡±

    Lin Chong glared at Li Kui and reprimanded: "No! You reckless man, if I let you attack the city, all your fifteen thousand brothers will be tortured to death! Don't even think about it at this time. For this plan, I want to  To capture Daming Mansion, we must use strategy and not brute force. Suo Chao is a good man, and the soldiers of Daming Mansion are also men. They will defend the city to the death. It will not be easy for us to win! So we must use strategy!"

    Li Kui scratched his head and said: "Using tactics? Are you kidding me? Do I, Tieniu, look like someone who knows how to use tactics? You want to think about it, but I, Tieniu, don't!"

    At this moment, there was a laugh outside the tent: "Haha, Tieniu, you don't want to use your brain, do you? Well, after you return to Liangshan, you can chop wood for me. You don't have to use your brain to chop wood. How about that?"  ah?"

    Before the voice fell, the curtain was opened and Ximen Qing walked over in military uniform.

    Li Kui and Lin Chong were both stunned, then hurriedly stood up and came to Ximen Qing. Then they knelt down on one knee with fists clasped and shouted: "My subordinates are in trouble when sending troops. Please punish me!"

    Ximen Qing hurriedly helped the two of them up and said with a smile: "As the saying goes, victory or defeat is a common thing for soldiers. What's more, you haven't lost yet, so how can you point out that the army is disadvantageous! Daming Mansion is already an important city, and Suo Chao is also here.  Brave, the soldiers are willing to fight to the death to defend the city for their loved ones in the city. How easy is it for you to take down Daming Mansion? Let alone you two, even if all the soldiers from Liangshan are on the border, if you want to take down Daming Mansion, you have to fight with the people in the city.  The soldiers beat them to death! So, you are not at fault, haha."

    Lin Chong sighed, clasped his fists and said, "Hey, I dare not do anything. I will not be able to take down Daming Mansion, but I have done it before! Please punish me, Commander!"

    Li Kui also said: "Yes, I, Tieniu, am also willing to accept the punishment!"

    Ximen Qing smiled and said: "Okay, okay, if you are willing to accept the punishment, how about we wait until Daming Mansion is captured?"

    Lin Chong nodded, and then asked: "Commander, how to capture Daming Mansion? Do you have any idea?"

    Ximen Qing shook his head and said: "I haven't thought of a way yet, but I know that if you want to win Daming Mansion without any bloodshed and in the simplest way with the least casualties, you have to start with Suo Chao! Daming Mansion's  The reason why the soldiers defended the city desperately was because of Suo Chao's leadership. Without the banner of Suo Chao, these soldiers would be nothing but a piece of loose sand."

    Lin Chong frowned and said, "Start with Suo Chao? Suo Chao is with the soldiers every day, eating and living together. It's very difficult to assassinate him!"

    Ximen Qing said: "The people in Suo Chao are brave and can be used in many ways, so naturally they can't be killed. Let's do this. I'll go to Daming Mansion first and have a look before waiting for action. You guys are waiting for my news outside. Don't send troops at will. Do you understand?  ?¡±

    "Commander, this is too dangerous, let me accompany you!" Lin Chong said hurriedly.

    Li Kui glared, pointed at himself and said to Ximen Qing: "Commander, let me accompany you. I can help you. The military camp needs Lao Lin to be in charge, and he can't do without him!"

    Ximen Qing waved his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, don't argue, I can go by myself! Tieniu is reckless, I don't know what trouble I will get into if I go in with you."

    ? txt download Brother Lin can¡¯t go either, the military camp still needs you to be in charge!  Don't worry, if I want to leave, no one in the entire Daming Mansion can keep me, so don't worry!  "

    Seeing that Ximen Qing had made up his mind, he did not stop him anymore, but nodded and said: "Okay, then I and I willTieniu was waiting for good news from the commander in the military camp.  Commander, when do you plan to set off?  "

    Ximen Qing said: "We set off in the early morning before it gets dark."

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out out, "By the way, Brother Lin, do you know who the Daming Mansion trusts the governor? What is his character?"

    Lin Chong said: "I have already investigated this. The name of the newly appointed state capital is Cai Mao, who is Cai Jing's cousin. Because Liang Shijie was killed, he was recommended here by Cai Jing. As for his character, it is not clear, but  You can guess that it¡¯s definitely not a good thing! If my cousin is like that, my cousin won¡¯t be much better.¡±

    "Cai Mao?" Ximen Qing muttered, "He's Cai Jing's cousin. Hey, this is exciting!"

    Lin Chong asked curiously: "Commander, what do you mean by this?"

    Ximen Qing smiled and said: "Cai Jing is a big corrupt official, and Cai Mao is a small corrupt official. Neither of them is a good person. Since he is a villain, he is naturally narrow-minded. This famous mansion is under the jurisdiction of Cai Hao. Now the soldiers and the people support Suo Chao. You think Cai Hao will give Suo Chao  Do you think he has a good face? Moreover, Suo Chao is a man who hates evil and will never tolerate corrupt officials like Cai Mao causing harm to the people. Therefore, the two of them are not at odds at all, and there is a gap. With the gap, hehe, I am afraid that I will not have the means to deal with Suo Chao.  Super?"

    Lin Chong nodded and said with a smile: "The commander is right. We can't attack Suo Chao directly, but we can start with Cai Mao and let Cai Mao cause trouble for Suo Chao. Using his hand, tsk tsk, it couldn't be better! Commander  His brain is so smart! Haha"

    Ximen Qing said: ¡°That¡¯s it!¡±

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    At three o'clock in the Chou hour, the sky turned dark, and the northwest wind carried fog and frost, covering the sky.

    Ximen Qing was wearing a dark gown, carrying a short halberd and a rope, and left the camp.  When he came to the city wall, Ximen Qing found a place where the patrol was lax, climbed up the city wall with a rope, and then sneaked into the city quietly.

    At this time, the entire Daming Mansion was on alert. There were no more containers setting up stalls on the street. Instead, there were piles of grain, weapons, and arrow feathers.  Many soldiers slept on the ground in sheds on both sides of the street, wrapped in clothes and covered with straw mats, and spent the night.

    Ximen Qing arrived at the camp not far away and found that although the camp was heavily guarded, the soldiers were all listless, yawning constantly, and none of them looked full.  After being besieged for more than half a month and being in fear all day long, these soldiers could not sleep well.  Coupled with the lack of food and grass, hunger and cold, the soldiers were even more depressed.

    "It seems that even if we don't use the plan, Daming Mansion will be defeated in less than half a month! But since it's here, let's solve it as soon as possible so that we can go south as soon as possible!" Ximen Qing thought secretly, and then escaped from the patrol.  The soldiers entered the camp.

    Quietly arriving at the Chinese military camp, Ximen Qing hid in front of the curtain, secretly opened an opening, and then looked inside.

    I saw a burly man pacing in front of the map inside the camp.  The big man was almost eight feet tall, not inferior to Lu Zhishen and Wu Song. He was wearing black scale armor and looked extremely majestic.  But the frown on his face and the frown on his brows showed that there was something on his mind.

    "Is this Suo Chao? He really looks like a general!" Ximen Qing thought to himself.

    At this moment, Suo Chao sighed and said to himself: "Hey, the bandits in Liangshan have been besieging the city for many days. The soldiers are hungry and cold, and they don't have enough to eat or wear. It's not an option to continue like this. We must replenish food and grass as soon as possible!  Otherwise, this city will be broken sooner or later Hey, the hateful prefect is a thief who guards the treasury. He enjoys himself in the palace, but makes his brothers suffer. He really deserves to be killed, deserves to be killed, deserves to be killed!"

    Hearing this, Ximen Qing was immediately overjoyed.  My guess was indeed correct. There was indeed a gap between Suo Chao and Cai Hao, and depending on the situation, the gap was huge.

    After learning the news, Ximen Qing did not stay in the military camp for long. Instead, he sneaked out of the camp and found what Suo Chao had mentioned.

    It turns out that this warehouse is not a warehouse required by the imperial court, but Cai Mao's private warehouse.  When Liang Shijie was appointed magistrate, he strictly controlled everything in Daming Mansion, including the grain and grass warehouse.  But after all, the grain and grass warehouse was built by the court to meet military needs, and he could not occupy it unscrupulously, so he built another warehouse and moved the grain and grass from the grain and grass warehouse into it.  In this case, he did not occupy the grain and grass warehouse, but he owned the grain and grass inside. Although it was a cover-up, it was justified in name.  After Liang Shijie's death, Cai Mao took over the Daming Mansion, and this treasure was naturally his.

    Since the Liangshan army besieged the city, the grain and grass warehouses have been opened. However, the grain and grass inside were scarce, so they were eaten up quickly.  Suo Chao had no choice but to ask Cai Mao to open his storehouse and use the grain and grass inside.  But Cai Mao was a greedy guy who would rather die than release food, so his relationship with Suo Chao was extremely bad.

    ? ?Looking at the storage warehouse guarded by many soldiers in front of him, the corner of Ximen Qing's mouth raised an arc.

    Since Suo Chao and Cai Hao got into trouble because of the food and grass issue, well, then Ximen Qing will intensify this conflict!

    As he said it, Ximen Qing threw out his short halberd and killed all the guards guarding the library.  Then, Ximen Qing lit a fire to the library.

    The food and grass inside are already dry, so when encountering a fire, the flames will naturally get higher and higher. After a while, there will be raging flames, reflecting half of the sky red.

    As soon as the fire broke out, Suo Chao from the military camp discovered it, and he quickly led his troops to put out the fire.  Cai Mao in the Cai Mansion was also promptly informed of the fire by his servants.  When Cai Mao learned that his warehouse was on fire, he was so anxious that he quickly sent his guards to put out the fire.  At the same time, people in the city also joined in fighting the fire.  For a time, the entire Daming Mansion was extremely lively, and the soldiers and civilians worked together to put out the fire.

    After a lot of trouble, the fire was put out, but the food inside was gone.  After learning the news, Suo Chao was so angry that he jumped up and led his troops to Cai Mansion.

    In the living room of Cai Mansion, Suo Chao was arguing with Cai Mao.

    Then Suo Chao shouted: "Mr. Cai, I have advised you many times to open the warehouse to release grain, but you refused. Now it's better. The grain has been burned by a fire and there is nothing left. Huh, now you  Are you satisfied? There is nothing left, the soldiers don¡¯t even have anything to eat. How do you think this city can be defended? Do you want the soldiers to drink the northwest wind?"

    Cai Maozheng was upset because of the burning of the library. Now that he heard Suo Chao's sarcasm, he became even more angry and shouted: "Suo Chao, you must recognize your identity and dare to yell at me and accuse me."  Point it out, you are so presumptuous! Believe it or not, I will punish you for being disrespectful? This storehouse belongs to me. If you burn it, burn it. Why do you still dare to question me? Do you want to die? Believe it or not, I will punish you.  Withdraw!"

    Suo Chao was so angry that he almost went to heaven, and cursed: "You want to withdraw my power? Huh, Cai Mao, you also have to understand the current situation clearly. If I hadn't done the work for the people and soldiers, would they insist on defending the city? What if?  If I hadn't done it myself, this city would have been ruined long ago! You are enjoying yourself in the house, I have nothing to say, but you don't know how to sympathize with the soldiers, and you are still putting on official airs here, huh, you really think I, Suo Chao, is easy to bully, don't you? "

    Cai Hao suddenly sneered and shouted: "What? You still want to beat me, don't you? Do you want to rebel? If you dare to touch me, I will kill your nine tribes! Let me tell you, this Daming Mansion is my master's decision.  I am the genius!"

    Hearing Cai Mao's words, Suo Chao was completely angry, and his temper became violent. He immediately cursed: "Damn it, really damn it! Daming Mansion was attacked by the enemy because of a faint official like you!"

    As he said that, he slapped Cai Mao on the face.

    Suo Chao's strength was already great, but now he slapped him with anger, and the power can be imagined.  Cai Hao, who had no martial arts skills, was directly slapped away. His face was swollen into a pig's face, and there was a big handprint on his cheek. The handprint turned purple and was full of bruises.  At the same time, the huge force also knocked Cai Mao unconscious.

    Seeing Cai Mao unconscious, Suo Chao realized that he had been impulsive.  But Suo Chao did not regret what he had done. He snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and walked out of the living room, leading the soldiers back to the military camp.

    After a while, Cai Hao woke up and felt the severe pain in his cheek. Cai Hao screamed heartbreakingly to the sky: "Suo Chao, you dare to hit me, you dare to hit me, I want you to die a good death!" Resentment!  The voice sounded for a long time, rippling throughout the house.

    Ximen Qing, who was peeping in front of the house, laughed and congratulated the fight just now - it was really exciting!

    Suo Chao returned to the military camp, and Cai Hao really began to take revenge.

    After he was helped to bed by his servants to rest, he quickly sent a dozen guards to kill Suo Chao's wife and children.

    The guards rushed into Suo Chao's home with knives. They first killed several guards in Suo Chao's home and then found Suo Chao's wife and children.  Just when the guards were about to take action, Ximen Qing arrived in time.

    Ximen Qing showed no mercy and killed all the guards directly, and then rescued Suo Chao's wife and children.  Ximen Qing placed them in a house and warned them not to be outsiders and not to go to Suo Chao, because there were too many assassins and killers looking for them outside. As long as they showed up, their lives would be in danger, and they would also be in danger.  Bringing big trouble to Suo Chao.

    Hearing Ximen Qing¡¯s warning, Suo Chao¡¯s wife nodded repeatedly, not daring to be careless, indicating that she would stay at home and never go out, and would never go to Suo Chao.

    After arranging for Suo Chao¡¯s family, Ximen Qing sneaked into the Cai Mansion, directly killed one of Cai Mao¡¯s eldest sons, and wrote on the wall: ¡°If you are not honest, this will be your fate!¡±

    When the servants of the Cai Mansion saw that the eldest young master had been killed, they quickly went to notify Cai Mao.  Cai Mao almost fainted when he learned that his eldest son was dead.??Then he cursed at the sky.

    After hearing what was written on the wall, Cai Mao immediately guessed that it was Suo Chao who did it.  Because just now, he sent his guards to assassinate Suo Chao's family, but all those guards were killed.  Therefore, Cai Mao had to suspect that this was Suo Chao's doing.

    Regarding this, Cai Mao hated Suo Chao so much that he wanted to eat his flesh, gnaw his bones, and swallow Suo Chao down.

    At noon on the second day, Ximen Qing came out of the inn.  After simply eating some food, I heard from the people that Suo Chao had led troops to surround Cai's house at this time because Cai Hao had kidnapped Suo Chao's family.

    Hearing the news, Ximen Qing smiled secretly.

    The reason why he warned Suo Chao's wife not to let them go out was because he wanted to make Suo Chao anxious and fall out with Cai Mao.

    How can Suo Chao not be anxious when he hears that his family members are missing and their lives and deaths are unknown?  Therefore, it is inevitable to lead troops to surround Cai Mansion.

    Ximen Qing hurried to Cai Mansion. When he was still far away, he saw Suo Chao in front of the door, dressed in military uniform and full of murderous intent.  In the Cai Mansion, there were also a large number of guards holding up swords and guns to stop Suo Chao from entering.

    For a time, the two armies met each other and would start fighting at any time.

    I saw Suo Chao furious, holding up two big copper hammers, and shouted: "Get out of my way! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude! Cai Mao dares to detain my family to threaten me. It is really intolerable!"

    The guards of the Cai family were so frightened that they pushed back. At this time, the guards raised their heads and cupped their hands, and said with a bitter smile: "Old Suo, this must be a misunderstanding. Mr. Cai has not imprisoned your family at all. Don't be impulsive. Now  We are facing a formidable enemy, we cannot fight among ourselves, we must face the enemy together!"

    Suo Chao shouted: "Chen Kuo, I regard you as my brother, but you want to stop me! If Cai Hao hadn't done it, where would my family have gone? Tell me! Can you guarantee that Cai Hao didn't send anyone last night?"  My home?"

    Chen Kuodao: "Old Suo, you don't know that Master Cai Ying is dead. Master Cai is very sad. Now he just fell asleep. He thinks it was you who did it and is planning to deal with you. Hey, you'd better hurry up."  Leave, I¡¯ll pretend you haven¡¯t been here!¡±

    "What? Cai Ying is dead? Good death! That dandy!" Suo Chao shouted.

    At this time, Cai Mao was helped out by the maid.

    Seeing Suo Chao, Cai Hao's body trembled, and then he shouted: "Suo Chao, you dare to kill my son, I and I, Cai Hao, are at odds with you. Chen Kuo, what are you doing standing still? Why don't you take action? Quickly capture Suo Chao."  !¡±
