"Thunderbolts have always spoken of virtue, what is the solution to the flying stones of brocade ropes?" For a moment, the glass lamp was broken, and moths were thrown into the depths of the green lamp.
In the village by the water, chickens and dogs are quarreling with each other, and children are running around, walking as usual. There were adults coming and going, laughing and walking, old men and women shining in the sun, drinking their children and calling their grandchildren, chasing cats and dogs, just like yesterday.
Hu Sanniang rode her horse slowly into the village. Although she knew that the gang would not take him away, she knew that women in this world are like beautiful women, shaped like fire, and no more timid than rough men. Her reputation in Shandong is no better than that of ordinary men. , if that group wants to settle down in Caoliang Mountain, they must use their reputation to recruit people. She is so powerful, and if Qiongying's reputation is suppressed, the benefits will not be seen in a day or two.
At that time, he held the Xiuluan knife upside down and tied the soft rope in his palm. He asked people around him, and they all said that there was indeed a lady in red. She was extremely beautiful. She immediately hung up Fang Tian's painted halberd. Not long after Fang came to the village, I Rest in the village store.
Hu Sanniang asked: "Where is he now?"
The villagers laughed and said: "Although that lady is beautiful, she is very evil. Although she is not as vicious as the people from the court, no one dares to come close. We only watched her rest for a while in the village shop, ordered cooked food, and rode away. Go outside the village."
Some people also laughed: "Before leaving, I only saw her talking to the village shopkeeper for a few words and giving him gold and silver. The gold and silver ingots were very rich, which made people very jealous. Madam, why don't you ask there, you will definitely get something. .¡±
Hu Sanniang thought in her heart: "That group is a rebel, but they don't want to disturb the people. But now there is no conflict between officials and thieves. Although Zhao Dalang is a good man, he may not be as good as others under his command. You should have a plan!"
Then he asked the villagers: "I will entrust you with the silver ingot. You must lead the way to the village shop to hear the news."
The villagers happily took the silver ingots and led them to the end of the village. As expected, there were wine flags flying. Several villagers were sitting idle outside the store. When they saw the villagers leading their horses, they all laughed and said, "You're a good guy." He's a smart guy, he brought a big lady here before, so what kind of business are you looking for now?"
The man who led the way said angrily: "Don't make any noise. I'll treat you to wine and meat in the village shop for a while. I just don't want to neglect the distinguished guests."
Everyone looked up and saw that the peach blossoms were another flower-like color that was different from the previous ones. But seeing her:
A branch of begonia flower, the spring dew is flat and bright; the eyebrows are drooped by the wind and rain, and the red coat covers the golden armor.
At that time, I was in a hurry. I was leaning against my golden hairpin, with some silk hair peeking out from under my pocket. I was kicking my crested boots, and my willow waist was outlined with a slender and plump body. There was frost on my face, and the snow was like autumn, and I was in a cold pool. The eyes are cut, and at just one glance, there is a majestic and majestic look.
??The men in the village saw this one again, just like the former one, how could they dare to take a second look? After hurriedly getting out of the way, someone even shouted: "Village fire, noble people are here to serve you good food and wine."
Huo'er, who was in the village shop, heard the sound and came out. Seeing Hu Sanniang dressed up, she was secretly happy and asked hurriedly: "Madam, do you want to ask me a question? The lady in front said that there is a high platform by the water. If the Madam If you dare to go, I will wait there for a long time."
The land of Shandong is full of heroes. A daughter like Hu Sanniang's family often has quarrels with her. The shop owner is familiar with it. Seeing that Hu Sanniang looks very tired, he said: "That lady is also pretending to be an ordinary girl." , It¡¯s just the equipment at hand, which is quite unusual. He must be from another big family. He is alone and does not carry any food and grass, so he packs it properly."
Hu Sanniang was so happy that she rewarded him with pieces of silver and then asked, "Do you think there are strangers coming and going in the village?"
The shop owner smiled and said: "There is a fierce fighting in Boli, Liangshan. They only say that they are a group of good guys and they are very fierce. Therefore, in the past, there were only a few merchants coming and going in and out of the village. Even the bold ones came in a hurry and asked for it." He took the drinks with him and left without finding a place to stay. Since the previous group came, no one has been seen passing through the village. Looking at the lady's good skills, she must not be afraid of him!"
After hearing this, Hu Sanniang felt very happy in her heart. She also liked the cleverness of the store owner, so she said: "Even if you say it well, I won't give you any reward. Haosheng sent me some benefits and used them for the time being. I am competing with that one." . If you make it well, you will be rewarded even more."
Not to mention here, after having had enough wine and food, Hu Sanniang held up her embroidered luan knife and meandered towards the waterside. After leaving the village for a few miles, she found a high platform covered with tussocks and undulating grass. It covers the surrounding area and directly touches the sky. It is far from being able to see the high place, but it is high enough to have a good view.
Hu Sanniang praised in her heart: "You are indeed a smart person. In such an area, let alone setting up an ambush, how can others know about it? But from a high place, looking around, all the wind and grass can be seen, and there is nothing to gain."
When I looked carefully, I saw that from a high place, the horse's hooves trampled a broken path and snaked upwards. When I looked from a high place, I couldn't see Qiong Ying's figure. She sneered and said: "We have made an appointment to see you, how can you be so sneaky?" , is there a Yizhangqing in the world who is timid against the enemy and draws the crowd to his aid?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a crisp sound in the tall grass.He smiled and said, "Sure enough, he's just a young man. How can he not be seen here?"
At that time, on the high platform, more than ten feet away, two female generals, dressed very similar, looked at each other from a distance. The one above shouted and asked: "Since we have made an appointment, what are you hiding?"
The other one then laughed: "Since the covenant is here, it has not yet been settled at your feet. Why can't it be established here?"
How could Hu Sanniang be treated like this by Qiong Ying with her temperament? Riding horses at high places means fighting.
Qiongying waved her hand and said with a smile: "Come on, it's not just for a competition. My sister wrote a handwritten letter saying that she is willing to make a deal with you as Li Yingzhu Biao. When I get to the top of the Liangshan Mountains, I can put my foot down and fight in the future. The days have passed, and now I am alone, next to your army, and I cannot afford to be careless. If we fight, I will inevitably be distracted. Could it be that time has taken advantage of others' danger?"
After a disagreement and unable to move, Hu Sanniang turned her horse and was about to go downhill. Qiongying galloped up and was close to her. There was no need to believe it. She handed a letter to her hand and she was about to turn around. But Hu Sanniang put away the letter and said with a smile: "I asked someone in the village just now. I know that you are thirsty and hungry for a while. I just brought some food and wine. Do you dare to sit down? You don't need to read this letter." It's just for your sake that I have a drink today, and when we meet later, I will repay you for the kindness I gave you in the military department by raising my hand, and I will fight with all my strength, which is very happy."
Qiongying dismounted proudly and ate calmly. Hu Sanniang was surprised and said: "I didn't expect that there would be a woman like you under his command. How amazing!"
Qiongying sneered and said: "You sit in a well and look at the sky. Most of Da Lang's subordinates are generous people. People who are as careful and prudent as my sister have a big heart. No one knows. It's no wonder that you come from a family like yours. Within a radius of ten miles, there are many people. You are afraid and praise it, so you are complacent, thinking that all the people in the world are like domestic slaves, and that all the women in the world are not as good as you. This is not only ridiculous, but also sad. Every time the great man says that he is right, it is true."
Hu Sanniang was not angry at all, she just smiled and said: "If your army is in the water, it is nothing more than stranded in one place, sitting there waiting for death, laughing away the quarrels. Let me ask you, what did you do when you came here?"
Qiong Ying said: "With Li Ying and Zhu Biao, they are just buying and selling."
Fang said angrily: "How can humans compare to the trade of goods?"
He smiled and said: "Like Zhu Biao's disciples, it is true that they are not worth the full price, and they are indeed not worth buying or selling. But just like this, they are also your treasures in Dulonggang. I regard them as nothing but grass, but you treat them like treasures. You have something to ask for." , I want to gain something, that¡¯s all.¡±
Hu Sanniang was angry and wanted to leave, saying: "Since he is a figure in his two villages, what do you want from Ganhu's family? Just discuss it with him!"
Qiongying smiled slowly and said: "They say that the three villages of yours are connected by the same spirit. To push the blame like this, not to mention the interests, is not Yizhangqing's nature. Now, Zhang Shuye treats rich people like you as enemies, don't you know?" Li Ying does have some skills. For example, if Zhu Biao's son is killed with one sword, it would be considered a stain on the pure land. Moreover, if he is killed, it will suit Zhang Shuye's wishes. Therefore, this transaction is also in the interests of your three villages. Once the purchase is made, you Fang Duo has excuses, but I won't say them out. It's really not good. Tomorrow you will gather your army and tell Zhang Shuye how powerful they are. They will fight against each other. First they will attack the sky eagle to sacrifice the flag, and then they will Zhu Biao's head. It's just right. "
After saying that, she got on her horse and left. Hu Sanniang was extremely angry and couldn't make up her mind, so she had to shout: "What do you want to exchange for it?"
Qiongying turned around and smiled and said: "I know that in your army, you are afraid of my sister and hate it. I have looked through all the armies, but there is not one person in ten thousand who can defeat Cui Niannu alone. Therefore, you are unwilling to open the book and read it. How can I teach you?" Proud? I won't tell you. I want to save the lives of these two people. I will finish all the arrangements mentioned in the book within two days and send them to the water to meet each other. If Zhang Shuye knows the news, can he make money from me? Kill Zhu Biao and Li Ying first. , and then kill Guan Sheng and Dong Ping, these four people will be lost in your three villages in a short time. In the future, the three villages will either be annexed by Zengtou City due to internal strife, or Zhang Shuye will be sent away to divide the world, their flesh and blood. You have to think about yourself when you are homeless and unable to reunite in your life. At this time in the evening, we meet at the head of the village and know each other. I am only one person, and I can do whatever you want. Thousands of people can't stop me from riding my horse and drawing my halberd!"
After saying that, he walked away proudly.
Hu Sanniang couldn't help but read the letter, and suddenly felt that Cui Niannu's thoughts were definitely not just about doing business. I was afraid that there was more conspiracy in the letter. At that time, she came to the camp and invited several people from Lijiazhuang inside. I also invited everyone from Zhu Long to gather together, open the letter, and read it in detail. The words were spoken clearly and without any entanglements.
The boss only said that if you want to take Li Ying to settle the Li family village, you should exchange it for one hundred and twenty craftsmen and thousands of strong and strong villagers. In order to protect Zhu Biao's success in fighting for Dulonggang, he should exchange for three hundred craftsmen and one thousand and eight hundred elite villagers. There are more instructions here, the craftsmen do not care about their age, and they should not be old if they are strong. If someone comes, they will have their own teachings. If one is untrue, then there will be two villages with absolutely no sincerity. Whichever one is wrong, Li Yingzhu and Biao Li will be used to offset it.
After Hu Sanniang saw it, she didn¡¯t want to do anything about Hu¡¯s family village, so she didn¡¯t say anything.
?The situation in Lijiazhuang is urgent, whoever comesThey all agreed, saying that they were local tycoons who could not support thousands of people? Even if there are more than a thousand people, it is not easy for Li Yingshi to take care of the overall situation.
Zhu Long immediately became furious and shouted: "Where can the three hundred craftsmen from Zhujiazhuang come from? Could it be that all the skilled craftsmen in Zhujiazhuang have been paid to thieves? Not to mention the thousands of villagers who are from farmers. With my meat , Wo rebels against the muscles and bones, it¡¯s too much!¡±
Nai from the Li Family Village sneered and said: "You don't have to worry about my brother's life or death. If in the future, I lose this opponent and the owner of the village falls on you, I will have more protection. But it is different in my village, with more than a thousand people. It doesn¡¯t hurt your muscles and bones. Now in the imperial court, who in the Xiang army wants to go there? Seeing that it is a rough time again, as long as winter comes, we are not afraid of refugees coming to seek refuge. The thieves don¡¯t like gold and silver, so they will keep them for the officials at that time. How about taking advantage of the situation and recruiting a group of people?"
Zhu Long jumped up and struck with his fists. How could he have thought of such heart-wrenching words? In Zhujiazhuang, under Grand Duke Zhu, everyone knows that Zhu Long and Zhu Biao are not the people who have been planning for a long time, and their skills are even worse than those of their younger brothers. The position of the owner of the village has always been reserved for Zhu Biao, and Zhu Long I wish you the best, I am sincerely convinced.
Hu Cheng was quite kind. He gave advice to the left and right, and comforted both sides. Then Zhu Long said again: "Since the thief has a messenger coming, it is better to take advantage of the situation and seize him. If there is some weight, he will exchange for one of me, and the loss will be much less."
The people from Lijiazhuang asked: "It's true that he is an important person, but who can replace him?"
Zhu Long said: "In exchange for my brothers, your village owner only needs a thousand people. I, Zhujiazhuang, can also deliver most of them. I will exchange my Zhujiazhuang's resources and manpower for you, the owner of Lijiazhuang. What's wrong?" ?¡±
Lijiazhuang laughed loudly and said sarcastically: "You guys are really good at calculating. Now that you have taken the rebel brothers, how can you give up with the loyalty of this group? You have no choice but to give it a try and ruin the life of my village owner. What should we do? On the contrary, if we take the messenger and replace the owner of my village first, and after meeting him, you wish to have more men in our village, and our village is willing to pay you all the rebels ask for. In this way, too How about half of the damage to your Zhujiazhuang?"
However, Hu Sanniang suddenly thought about it. Zhu Long spoke like this, not to mention ruining her friendship with that group. Seeing that he was only for Zhu Biao, he would rather Li Yingtiao and that group were angered and killed. The one who must be interested in it is Zhang Shuye's army. After leaving, the three villages on Dulonggang merged. This plan was not known to Zhu Long, but now he accidentally revealed it. As expected, Zhujiazhuang had a lot of plans.
At that time, he said: "The person who sent me the message was the one who bribed ordinary fishermen, so he took it. I'm afraid he took it even worse. If you and your village want to lose money, check out the murderous intentions of his group. I'm afraid I'll have someone bring that fisherman and teach you how to get what you want."
Zhu Biao was so panicked that he stopped her again and again. Li Jiazhuang responded to Li, who already had deep thoughts about the city. He looked at Hu Sanniang with a cold eye and ordered the sergeant to go to the fishing village in front of him. He couldn't tell what she was thinking, so he felt a little relieved. He also came to try to persuade her, saying that it was a matter of benefit and harm. : "If there are so many losses, Yuncheng County and Zengtou City are so powerful that they can't compare to the rebels. If Zhang Shuye is defeated again like before, Liangshan will fall into his hands overnight. Now that the thief has settled down in Liangshan, he will definitely have many conflicts with me in Dulonggang in the future. It would be quite cost-effective to exchange the two of them with one hand, but the thief is very greedy and is afraid that he will be fated and come down the mountain to fight before winter comes."
The three parties finally reached a consensus, and Zhu Long said: "Since we are of the same spirit, we can afford some damage to the Zhu family village this time. Since Madam Hu's wife has met the thief's messenger, we should Please reply to this letter again. If we are to threaten you in half, Lijiazhuang will send out his 500 men and 50 craftsmen. I wish the village to send 1,500 strong and clean men and 150 craftsmen to be more skilled in craftsmanship. What can I achieve by asking for help? I would rather exchange this. There is another matter. Since Zhang Shuye has the heart of a tiger and a wolf, he must be on guard, and he must not be taught to use his tricks. Instead, he will endanger the lives of the owner of the Li family village and his third brother. "
Hu Sanniang smiled and said, "That's how it should be."
Hu Chengnai is a businessman by nature, and he knew in his heart that what he wanted in the letter was satisfied with only half of it. He didn't expect that the two of them would pay half of it, but when he was about to stop him, Hu Sanniang blocked it with her eyes, confused in her heart, and waited for him. When he retreated, he asked, and Hu Sanniang sighed: "Brother, don't you see that Zhu Long already intends to annex Hujiazhuang? He has lost one more person, and Hujiazhuang is weak, which will give him an extra chance of life. The so-called connecting branches with the same spirit is nothing more than Zhu Long's idiotic dream. How can this be true? So confused?"
After Hu succeeded, he was afraid that it would not be easy, so he said at that time: "Sister, don't worry too much. I don't think Zhu Biao can compare with my sister? He is just a reckless man. From now on, you will make the decision in Hu's village. Don't be afraid that he will have the heart of a wolf!" "
Hu Sanniang said with a smile: "I have my own father to make the decision, and it is not my skill. Therefore, I must teach you how to deal with this business. In my opinion, that group of people will lose but not die. If he sits in Liangshan Po , connected with Dulonggang on the top, and Zengtou City on the bottom, and defeated Zhang Shuye's reputation, and he also has some affection for me. There was a little movement on both sides, and Zhujiazhuang was also more cautious, so there was movement on both sides. , is an example of weakness and cowardice in this world."
At this point, I sighed and sighed, and I was speechless for a while.
The plan was settled. In the evening, Hu Sanniang taught the people in Hujiazhuang to watch the camp, and also taught the smart people to look around. Knowing that no one was following her, she headed to the fishing village. In the village shop at the head of the village, Qiong Ying was indeed still there. Now, when we met, he asked her: "Is there any agreement?"
Hu Sanniang pretended to be angry and said: "What you are planning is too ambitious. Dulonggang is not as good as Zengtou City, and it is under the jurisdiction of Yuncheng County. How can you get more than 2,000 people to pay you? They are craftsmen. Their two villages are not as good as my Hujiazhuang. Three to five hundred, if you get all of it, it means entrusting the two villages together, how can you accept it? But after all, the matter is very important, and there should be some discussion!"
Qiong Ying said: "It is said that your three villages are connected by the same spirit. Since you have a craftsman in your village, why not support him?"
Hu Sanniang looked at Qiong Ying and said for a long time: "Do you think Zhu Long has no such intention? Although Hu's village is small, he does not want to follow others."
Qiongying understood, and took her to the two villages to compare with each other for a long time. She was very dissatisfied and said: "There are more than 2,500 people, but they want to come in half. Don't talk about Niannu. Even I am here." make life difficult for."
Bingzhu said that in the middle of the night, Qiong Yingfang said: "Well, seeing that you are in a lot of trouble in those two villages, I will work hard for you. I will make my own decision and teach Lijiazhuang to use fifty craftsmen and six hundred men. Teach Zhu Zhu. The family estate was paid with a thousand men and a hundred craftsmen. When other people were available, Li Ying and Zhu Biao were released. If he asked someone to be a guarantee, with Da Lang's reputation, I am afraid that even the emperor and old man in the court would not be able to compare with him, let alone Have any objections?"
Hu Sanniang was startled and said: "Very good, I will follow you. Everyone in the world believes in Zhao Dalang."
When we returned at that time, the two villages really had no objections. At this point, the exchange of people was completed.
"I just didn't expect that even this iron-clad calculation would have twists and turns. At midnight on the day when I went down the mountain to have a decisive battle with Zhang Shuye, Liang Shanbo and Zhujiazhuang had a life-and-death feud. After all, the details of this matter will be discussed next time.
