Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Everything is in progress, and the day of the meeting on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is getting closer.

……

……

A few days later, many water bandits who were relatively close to each other began to cross the river, arriving on the bank of Longxi one after another, and came to the meeting together by appointment.

At this time, there were at least a hundred boats of different sizes docked on the banks of the Minjiang River in the Longxi section, including awning boats, small ferries, bamboo rafts, and wooden rafts...

One after another approached the shore of Longxi, and some of the quickest ones had already started to land.

These bustling crowds walking towards the direction of Longxi City, dressed in different clothes, looked like ordinary people, but they could carry them on their shoulders, hands, and other things on their waists, either broad-backed swords or water-dividing steel forks, at least they could carry them. With a hatchet.

Listening to these people swearing and clamoring while walking, they have already fully exposed their identity as water bandits.

"Fuck, isn't this the head of Hu Da? What's the matter, isn't he dead yet?"

"Which crotch is not tied, and you are exposed, you ****, you are not dead, can I die? Zhao Si!"

"Hey, everyone is a brother who earns a living on the river. Can you stop arguing? Don't we people in the rivers and lakes have one mind to hold this hero meeting?"

"Hey, forgive me for being Wang Bajin's master. After all, he is a powerful master in our area. As far as you say, Lao Hu likes to listen to it. No matter what you say, as long as Wang Da is able to be the chief helmsman , Lao Hu was the first to support it."

"Cut, ass-licking thing, I, Zhao Si, never obey others. I am a good guy with arms and legs, why should I obey others? Wang Bajin is the king, and I, Zhao Siling, will teach you some tricks when the time comes. Brothers, let's go!"

"Welcome anytime, haha..."

Noisy, crowded, the road leading to Longxi County at this time is just a word, chaos.

Wang Bajin, who was dark-faced, wearing straw sandals and carrying a big knife on his back, clasped his fists to see him off. Another water bandit leader, Zhao Sihou, looked gloomy.

At this time, a bearded man jumped out from beside him, and shouted angrily at Zhao Si's back: "Paralyzed, don't be angry, the boss, this subordinate will kill him!"

"Old Sun, don't be impulsive!"

The bearded Sun Mingyan had just finished yelling, and the handsome Zhao Jiuchou walked out calmly with a gold-threaded big ring knife on his back. After dissuading Sun Mingyan, he said to Wang Bajin: "Don't be in a hurry, if you can't bear it, you will make a big mess." Mou, if we get into a fight with Zhao Si, not only will the government see it as a joke, but the other leaders of the water village will also be happy to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight."

Wang Bajin responded with a grunt, nodded to Sun Mingyan, a man who had just emerged from his water village, and praised: "Old Sun's loyalty is known to everyone, and I will be the chief rudder in the future. You and I, Nine Ugly Brothers, are right and left Dharma protectors. Let's go, let's go to Longxi County..."

When Sun Mingyan and Zhao Jiuchou heard about it, they looked at each other with something else mixed in their eyes, then immediately turned their eyes away, and followed Wang Bajin slowly towards Longxi County.

……

……

At the east gate of Longxi County, water bandits have already entered the city one after another.

To be able to enter the county town with a high-sounding appearance, upright and aboveboard, even in broad daylight, on weekdays, these water bandits dare not even think about it.

Now everything is turned upside down, and the water bandits can enter the city in broad daylight.

The East Gate at this time is naturally extraordinarily lively and noisy.

At this time, there were ten young soldiers standing on the top of the east gate, all wearing rattan armor and holding spears, looking at the crowd pouring in with stern and majestic eyes, they all shouted at the top of their voices:

"By the order of Guo Bingsi, the training envoy of the six counties, I will tell all the heroes and heroes that all who enter the city are forbidden to fight with weapons. If anyone fights with weapons and makes trouble in the city, they will be executed without mercy!"

"Everyone who is the head of the water village, please restrain your brothers. If you indulge others and make trouble, you will be disqualified from competing for the chief rudder of the Cao Gang."

"Welcome heroes from all walks of life to enter Longxi City and participate in the Eight Hundred Miles Minjiang Heroes Conference!!!"

Chapter 183 The Hero Conference: Brother Guo Plays Lurking

For several days, water bandits from all walks of life on the [-]-mile Minjiang River entered the city one after another, competing to participate in the event.

As Guo Ye said, the world is wasted in the world, whether it is a high-ranking Ninth Five-Year Master or a peddler walking in the market, he can never get rid of the word fame and fortune.

On the Minjiang River, there are tens of thousands of bandits. May I ask which leader of the water village can escape the temptation of the chief rudder of the Cao Gang?

The Cao Gang was formed under the leadership of the government, a gang that absorbed tens of thousands of water bandits from the Minjiang River, and dominated the entire Minjiang River.

Naturally, in the eyes of these water bandits, the chief rudder of the Cao Gang is better than Jin Wanliang.

As long as you master the Cao Gang, which the imperial court admits to allow, and order tens of thousands of gangs to dominate the [-]-mile Minjiang River, will there be a shortage of money in the future?

Wealth is close at hand, and everyone will reach out to grab it.

Today is the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, and there is still one day before the opening of the hero meeting, the formation of the Cao Gang, and the selection of the helmsman.

After estimating the number of water bandits who have entered the city one after another in the past few days, there are at least [-] bandits.

And every time the head of a water village enters the city, he will come to the county government to be enthroned.

After these days of registration, Guan Jiujiu made a rough count, and there were about 56 water bandit leaders.

Seeing this news, even Guan Jiujiu himself was shocked. They all said that the banditry on the Minjiang River was serious. Unexpectedly, there were 56 water bandit dens alone. .

At the same time, I also secretly admire Guo Ye's good method in my heart, and only our military commander's ingenuity can come up with the idea of ​​this hero meeting, and do what he likes, knowing the lethality of the chief rudder of the Cao Gang against the water bandits .

Holding the roster in his hands, Guan Jiujiu was in a daze in the Cao Fang of the county yamen. If, if the Master of the Military Commander had a hand and an eye, where could he ask for a hundred thousand troops to encircle and suppress Longxi County, and directly kill these water bandits in one go? , never trouble again?

But thinking of this, he himself also found it funny, thinking too naively.

If Guo Bingsi really had all-hands and eyes, would he still stay in this tofu dregs in Longxi County for a year?

Guan Jiujiu still doesn't know Guo Ye's background and origin?

This time, one hundred thousand troops were summoned, not to mention Guo Bingsi, even Lu Chengqing, the governor of Yizhou, must not be able to do so.

Unless it is someone like Minister of the Ministry of War, Duke of Wei, Li Jing, the god of war...

think too much!

Guan Jiujiu shook his head, flipped through the names of the leaders of the water bandits, and said with a wry smile: "Master Bing Si patted his butt and handed over the presiding of the meeting to Guan, hey, you really think highly of me! That's all, that's all. Since the next step is to be done by Master Bingsi, otherwise he will be displeased and fall out of favor, and he will be ridiculed by that damned fat man."

Immediately, Guan Jiujiu shouted to the outside of Hu Cao's room: "Come here, find a few people who are safe, and go to various inns in the city to inform the head of Zhulu Shuizhai, and tell them to discuss matters in the county government after dinner." , to discuss the specific rules for selecting the helmsman in the arena tomorrow."

The entourage outside responded, and hurried out to deal with the matter.

After about a while, all the pirate masters staying in several inns in the city received this notice from Guan Jiujiu one after another.

This matter is related to one's own interests, and whether one can be the helmsman of the Cao Gang tomorrow, no one will be careless.

All of a sudden, the masters of these water bandits left the inn to find restaurants and restaurants, and quickly ate something to make up for it, and went to the yamen to discuss matters after dinner.

The leader of the water bandits went to the yamen to discuss important matters, and it was funny to think about it.Today, it has become really evil.

Around one o'clock, the sound of the six hundred curfew and drums was exhausted, and there were no idlers on the streets. Even if there were occasional water bandits who wanted to come out for fun, they all went to the Fireworks and Willow Lane in the north of the city for entertainment.
