Turbulent Times Chapter 340: Three thousand captives

"At that time, the government considered that the price of capturing Heishi Mountain would be too high, so they let it go. Five years ago, from nowhere, came a master who had broken his achievements, who is now the leader of the White Scorpion Gang, Chen Xuanpeng After this person appeared, he first controlled the bandits on the Black Rock Mountain, and then used five years to conquer dozens of gangs, large and small, on the Green Forest Road in Jincheng County one by one, and united these people to establish the White Scorpion Help. Now there are four main hall masters under the leader of the White Scorpion Gang. They are all masters in the stagnation period. There are more than 2,300 people in the gang, and most of them are desperadoes. Their power should not be underestimated."

Shen Guang's eloquence is quite good, and his words are clear and logical. After Wang Junlin and Xu Jingzong heard about it, they had a very clear understanding of the White Scorpion Gang.

"Since the power cannot be underestimated, I will go out in person. Where are the captives presented to the court?" Wang Junlin thought for a while, and then made a decision in his heart.

"Reporting to Lord Hou, according to the information sent by Tian Ming, we have arrived in Jincheng County at this time, and we should be crossing the river. According to the distance, we can reach the vicinity of Heishi Mountain tomorrow afternoon." Shen Guang thought for a while and said.

Wang Junlin nodded and said: "Tonight you and I will go out of the city to receive the three thousand dead men who were given to me by the insect demon, and go to the Black Rock Mountain overnight. You send a letter to Dou Fagui, and tomorrow night we I will attack the White Scorpion Gang in Black Rock Mountain, and ask him to take care of it. Jingzong stays and takes good care of the hundred people, and I still need their heads to scare the little ones."

Shen Guang and Xu Jingzong said yes respectfully.

…

More than ten miles north of Jincheng is the Yellow River. At this time, on the north bank of the Yellow River, a large Sui cavalry force was driving thousands of captives across the river.

These captives were driven from Shifengzhai. As early as when the Yongzhou war defeated the Tuyuhun and Dong. Turkic enemies at the same time, Emperor Yang Jian was overjoyed. The documents were sent to Xiping City and Shifengzhai respectively. According to the imperial court's plan, in order to demonstrate the Emperor's martial arts, Xiping City and Shifengzhai will hold two separate prisoner offering ceremonies. Thousands of captives went to the capital, and according to the time calculation, they were almost there.

The second batch of captives came from Shifengzhai. According to the plan, there were also 5,000 people, and Shifengzhai guard Niu Jinda's regiment leader Tian Ming led 1,000 people to **** them. However, after Tian Ming received a letter from Wang Junlin a few days ago, he intentionally slowed down his speed. It was not until today that another 3,000 captives were sent from the direction of Shifengzhai, bringing the number of captives to 8,000, before he gave the order Boost.

The 3,000 captives who came later were also Xue Yantuo soldiers captured in the battles in Shifengzhai at that time. On the surface, they looked the same as the 5,000 captives before. Stiff, always expressionless, and their eyes were a little dull. After a day, they didn't even say a word. If someone observes their eyeballs carefully, they will find that their eyeballs are faintly green.

These 3,000 people were the first to cross the river. After crossing the river, they followed a group of cavalry and set off ahead of schedule without waiting for the captives behind. Since then, no one has seen these 3,000 Turkic captives again.

…

Li Fengmu arrived at Heishi Mountain with fifty guards, and arrived at the lair of the White Scorpion Gang through a mountain stream several miles long.

A minion had already stepped forward to take the mount, and then hugged Li Fengmu and his party to the Gathering Hall where the senior officials of the White Scorpion Gang used to discuss matters. Before Li Fengmu arrived at the gate of the military tent, a big bald head greeted him with a maniacal smile, "Mr. Li is here, my white scorpion will help you to shine!"

"Uncle Chen, you are welcome. You and my father are as close as brothers. You can just call me junior Mu'er." Li Fengmu cupped his hands and saluted as a junior.

In front of all his subordinates, Chen Xuanpeng, the eldest son of the Li family in Longxi, was so polite to him. Chen Xuanpeng immediately felt a sense of face, and laughed a long time. : "Nephew, don't see outside, please come inside, let's have a banquet."

Li Fengmu stood up, walked in with Chen Xuanpeng, and asked casually: "Uncle Chen, how about those noble landlords that my father asked Uncle Chen to take in! These people are my father's friends, Uncle Chen must not Neglect them!"

Chen Xuanpeng smiled a little guilty, and said: "Nephew, don't worry, these people are very safe with me, and I have not treated them badly."

"That's good, these people are hiding with Uncle Chen, the news hasn't leaked out!" Li Fengmu asked with a smile.

"Nephew, don't worry, I know that the person your father dealt with this time is the famous poisonous general Wang Junlin, and I understand the seriousness of it." Chen Xuanpeng glanced at Li Fengmu, pouted and said, "However, These noble gentlemen are really hard to serve!"

"Oh! What do they want? Uncle will satisfy them as much as possible. The money and food spent will naturally be paid by our Li family!" Li Fengmu responded with a smile, "Today, the younger generation will come here in person and beat them. They are causing trouble for Uncle Chen."

"However, Uncle Chen can't underestimate the enemy. If the news leaks, Wang Junlin will send someone over, or even come here in person." Li Fengmu paused and said seriously.

"What my nephew said is very true!" Chen Xuanpeng also quickly put away his smile, "Tomorrow I will send a hundred spies to extend ten miles out, and as long as there are strangers nearby, I will know immediately. "

Li Fengmu nodded and said: "Uncle Chen, it's better to make some arrangements in advance and set a trap for the mountain stream. In this way, in case Wang Junlin brings people over, so that they never come back! Chen Shuruo can really kill Wang Junlin , is to make a great contribution, and then my Longxi Li family can find a way to make Uncle Chen a general of the court just like Shangguan Fei."

When the bald-headed Chen Xuanpeng heard the words, he was ecstatic immediately, let out a long laugh, and made a loud decision: "In that case, let's let the brothers have a good rest tonight, so that they can recharge their spirits, and tomorrow I will personally set up the heaven and earth net , wait for Wang Junlin to come and bring me great joy! Hahaha..."

"Huh?" Li Fengmu actually wanted Chen Xuanpeng to send out spies overnight and set up traps, but he didn't want to damage the authority of Chen Xuanpeng's sect leader in front of many people.

Hesitating for a moment, Li Fengmu did not object after all, "Uncle Chen is right, it's getting late, and it's too late to make arrangements. But the enemy we are facing this time is not trivial, so we can't take it lightly. Chen Uncle, it's better to take some precautions tonight, in case the other party rushes over overnight, at least some of us can block him in advance, so that we don't have to fight eagles for a lifetime, only to be pecked blind by sparrows in the end!"
