Chapter 86: Gathering Soldiers
"Oh...why do you think I'm doing? I'm not familiar with her." Xiao Tianlei wouldn't meet anyone casually, especially such a stupid appointment. If Qi Wushuang hadn't asked, he wouldn't bother asking.
Qi Wushuang thought about it for a while before saying, "Sister Xuejun said she wanted to tell you about the Brotherhood, and advise you to tell the Brotherhood not to do bad things again."
"Bad things? Haha, there is no need to meet." Xiao Tianlei had no time to talk nonsense with others and talk about philosophy, but he had a lot of things to arrange.
"Why?" Qi Wushuang was puzzled.
"It's a waste of time and saliva when you see it. If you don't talk too much, I don't think our brothers will do anything bad." Xiao Tianlei said frankly.
"But, I heard many people say bad things about Brotherhood and say you... In short, it's so ugly! Are those real?" Qi Wushuang asked this and breathed a long sigh. In Lingzhou for a while, he had heard a lot of negative remarks about Brotherhood and Xiao Tianlei. Qi Wushuang was not stupid, but she didn't care much about those things and didn't want to think too much.
"Do you believe it?" Xiao Tianlei asked.
Qi Wushuang thought for a moment, shook her head and said, "Well... I don't know, but Brother Tianlei is not like a bad guy. The Brotherhood has opened many stores, and I like them all!"
Xiao Tianlei was also stunned. Qi Wushuang actually made such a subjective judgment based on her own preferences... It was very styled. Xiao Tianlei didn't know how to explain to Qi Wushuang. After thinking about it, he said, "Well, it's not easy to tell you the specific ones. What I said may not be correct. As the saying goes, hearing is false and seeing is true. Cangshan Hall also has some files, you can take a look. Starting the day after tomorrow, I will patrol the halls of various places, and you can go around together."
Although the Brotherhood has done some bad things in the eyes of ordinary people, many of them have detailed records. Many of these records are black materials, which record some people and things, which are relatively dark and ugly, and can easily destroy a person's three views. However, Xiao Tianlei felt that it was necessary to show Qi Wushuang. A young lady like Qi Wushuang was loved by her parents since she was a child and did not know that people's hearts were sinister. Although she was not stupid, she was a little simpler. It was very necessary to brainwash her to avoid being deceived one day. However, after Qi Wushuang saw it, she would have to look at herself. Xiao Tianlei was not sure.
The next day, Xiao Tianlei was handling some affairs in Cangshan Hall, and Qi Wushuang was looking through some archives and information while looking at them, and he looked surprised from time to time, and his mouth couldn't be closed for a long time.
No wonder Qi Wushuang was surprised. Everything in the file had a great impact on Qi Wushuang. Many things in the file were things she had never seen or heard of, and had never thought about. Many people were well-known on the surface and were hypocritical, but secretly had another face, doing something shameful... The way of dealing with such things and people is often simple and rough, and Qi Wushuang felt very relieved.
"Sister Wushuang, what are you looking at?" Qin Yue came out from somewhere, as if she was undoubtedly passing by, with a curious look. However, because Xiao Tianlei was present, she still abides by the regulations of the Brotherhood and did not go to see it casually.
"..." Qi Wushuang twisted her neck like a robot. She didn't know how to answer Qin Yue's inquiry. Everything she saw shocked her and didn't know what to say.
"Cousin Lei, can I watch it?" Qin Yue said in a tone with some prayers.
"Look." Xiao Tianlei nodded in agreement. It was not important information anyway.
"Thank you, cousin Lei!"
Qin Yue was a little excited and could see some confidential information from the Brotherhood. However, when she really read some of the contents, she was completely in a bad mood. There were so many messy things in the information that made her, who was obsessed with cleanliness, feel that the world was very dirty. However, Qin Yue was not Qi Wushuang, and she had some understanding of the sinisterness of people's hearts and could still accept it. However, after reading these contents, she immediately understood the reasons for some of the things that the Brotherhood did, and unlike the seemingly random things, Qin Yue felt that the Brotherhood was unfathomable.
No matter what Qi Wushuang and Qin Yue thought, Xiao Tianlei did his job according to his plan. On the third day, Xiao Tianlei rode the steel mane and brought some people to inspect the halls of some brotherhoods in various counties and governments in Lingzhou and workshops everywhere.
Now Xiao Tianlei is the focus of attention from many parties. Xiao Tianlei appeared on a swagger with a steel mane. Many people wanted to see what actions the brothers would do to deal with the thunderous wrath of the court. As a result, Xiao Tianlei and the Brotherhood did not perform anything abnormal, as if nothing had happened. As before, they patrol the halls and workshops of various places, and handled affairs, but they had a girl beside them, who was said to be the daughter of General Yang Wu, who was talking and laughing, as if they were talking about love.
Some people can't help but wonder, does the Brotherhood want to leave the relationship with General Yang Wu? Or is the Brotherhood confident?
Xiao Tianlei rode the steel mane and inspected it was exactly the same as before. It made many members of the Brotherhood feel at ease. The leader was so calm. It was definitely okay. The Brotherhood had never encountered anything before. We would have been through it safely? Besides, it was rumored that Xiao Tianlei and Steel Mane were hard to be a man. With this person in charge, what else should the Brotherhood be afraid of?
After patrolling for a few days, Xiao Tianlei arrived in Lingzhou City. As soon as he arrived at the gate of Pudu Temple, he was blocked by several people.
"Hey! Sister Xuejun!" Qi Wushuang saw one of them and shouted happily, but the person who came was Lin Xuejun, several scholars of different ages, and some martial artists.
These days, Xiao Tianlei also heard Qi Wushuang talk about some things about Lin Xuejun. Lin Xuejun is also quite unique. She can be said to be a chivalrous woman. She joined a famous sect to learn art. Her father Lin Siye is a famous corrupt official and treacherous minister. For example, this time Lu Guoliang was exiled, and her father was promoted and even intercepted. But her daughter insisted on going against his father and took someone to save Lu Guoliang. I believe her father must have a headache.
"Sister Xuejun, are you here to find me?" Qi Wushuang asked.
"Yes."
"What's the matter?"
"Your father has sent me a letter and ask me to take you back to the capital immediately." Lin Xuejun said seriously.
"I'm back to my senses, but I want to play for a few more days..." Qi Wushuang was a little reluctant. She had a lot of fun these days and saw many novel things.
"You silly girl, the brotherhood is rampant and has no king's laws. The court wants to send troops to wipe out the brotherhood. If you are with him, you may implicate your parents and relatives." Lin Xuejun warned.
"Ah! The court wants to send troops to wipe out the Brotherhood... How could it be!?" Qi Wushuang was shocked. The experiences and experiences over the past few days made her feel good about the Brotherhood. The court actually wanted to wipe out it. It was really unbelievable. "The Brotherhood is so good, why did the court send troops to wipe out it?"
Lin Xuejun was stunned, glanced at Xiao Tianlei and advised: "Brothers will cause trouble to Lingzhou, you actually said that Brothers will be good! Wushuang, you are too easy to be deceived! Come here quickly!"
Qi Wushuang looked at Xiao Tianlei anxiously: "Brother Tianlei, why don't you tell me what you told me to Sister Xuejun, maybe there's a way."
Xiao Tianlei said calmly: "No, we will deal with these things ourselves, but there is one thing she said right. You should go home, otherwise your family will also be implicated. Listen to me, you don't need to ask about the matter here, it's okay. When you have the chance, you come to Lingzhou to play."
After hearing what Xiao Tianlei said, Qi Wushuang was not anxious and asked, "Really?"
"Really." Xiao Tianlei said with a positive tone.
Qi Wushuang was about to continue speaking, but an old man's voice came in: "Boy, the brothers' disaster is coming, but you are still so calm and comfortable. I appreciate you a little!"
The person who spoke was Lu Guoliang, who came with Lin Xuejun. Now that he was exiled to Lingzhou, he could persuade the Brotherhood and avoid a war, it would naturally be a contribution. He has been an official for many years and has a high reputation. It should be no problem to consciously convince a few young boys. Moreover, the general trend is now in the face of the situation and he can take advantage of the situation and make profits.
Xiao Tianlei was quite dissatisfied at this time. He was talking to Qi Wushuang and inserted an old man in, whining and admiring him?! I want you, an old chrysanthemum, to appreciate it!
Seeing that Xiao Tianlei was silent, Lu Guoliang thought he was moved by his words and continued, "I think you are still young and have some rules. Although you act arrogantly, you can be considered a talent for making. You have just taken a wrong path. Today, I come to persuade you. If you are willing to reform and follow the court, you will be exempted from a disaster of war. I am as a guarantee and write to the court, asking the emperor to be gentle. You still have the opportunity to reform yourself and make a contribution. You cannot make a meritorious service and achieve something! I advise you to make a decision early! Do not make a big mistake, it will be too late to regret it!"
Lu Guoliang consciously spoke, using both soft and hard, without any leakage. He put his hands behind his back with one hand, raised his head and chest, and showed a gesture of giving advice. No matter what Xiao Tianlei responded, he had to respond with verbal response. Unexpectedly, Xiao Tianlei looked over with a bad look, and waved his hand directly, and a piece of ice-blue energy fell. Lu Guoliang and the people around him felt cold and cold, and his whole body was stiff, and he couldn't even speak.
Xiao Tianlei is too lazy to take a look at this kind of self-righteous old man now, and he is even less interested in listening to those many nonsense that fools people.
"Do you know he is..." Lin Xuejun said at this time.
Xiao Tianlei was careless and raised his eyes slightly, saying, "If you don't want this old man to be beaten up by a group, you'd better shut up! Or, do you want to cool off too?!"
"Uh...you..." Lin Xuejun didn't dare to say more, her face turned red with anger, but she couldn't do anything. She had personally experienced the domineering and arrogant nature of the Brotherhood.
"It's quiet now. Wushuang, take you to buy some local specialties from Lingzhou, and you can bring them back to Shendu." Ignore Lin Xuejun and the others. Since Qi Wushuang is leaving and leaving, Xiao Tianlei is too lazy to say that he will give her some local specialties.
"Oh, okay, okay!" Qi Wushuang of course agreed. There were so many things in Lingzhou that even the gods could not buy, so of course they had to take some back.
The next day, Qi Wushuang brought a car with Lingzhou specialties, reluctantly left Lingzhou City, and embarked on the way back to Shendu.
On the third day after Qi Wushuang left, Xiao Tianlei received news that the new General Zhennan summoned soldiers and was coming to Lingzhou. Xiao Tianlei was not surprised at all, only one feeling that the efficiency of the Daxia court was really slow! To be honest, Xiao Tianlei and his brothers were even a little impatient.
To talk about this, I really experienced some twists and turns. Since the former general Zong Zhengkui was bedridden, he naturally had to choose a new general in Zhennan. However, there have been endless disputes in the court. At first, several factions in the court wanted to get the position of General Zhennan, because Lingzhou is now relatively wealthy, and the Brotherhood can be said to be a fat sheep. Later, when Xuanwu Wei sent back the news, he realized that the Brotherhood was a hot potato. Maybe it would cause trouble and began to shirk each other. Later, the news from the Northern Xinjiang was originally thought to be a joke.
After confirming its authenticity from the war report sent back, the Brotherhood in Lingzhou had a relationship with Beiliang, and the matter became even more difficult and had to be dealt with. Recently, I received some information, saying that the relationship between the Brotherhood and Beiliang was not as speculated before. Things on the battlefield were probably just a coincidence. At this time, the Brotherhood aroused public anger and reported it, and various forces began to compete for the position of General Zhennan. The dispute might have lasted for a while, but because of one thing, the matter was finally settled.
Speaking of which, it was because Qin Jincai and others saved Lu Guoliang, killed some secret guards, and refuted the face of the eunuchs. The eunuchs were very powerful in the court, and they were vengeful and revengeful, and they held grudges to the Brotherhood. In addition, before, openly and secretly, the Brotherhood offended many people in the court, and finally reached an agreement, selected the new generals and powerful officials, and sent several powerful generals and powerful officials to be assisted by the Xuanwu Guard to wipe out the Brotherhood.
Since it was rare to reach an agreement in the court, the efficiency of this matter was extremely high. The new general of Zhennan set off in a few days. However, this matter required the cooperation of Lingzhou officials. Xuanwu Guard quickly spread the news to Zhang Shibi, the governor of Lingzhou.
Since the former General Zong Zhengkui of Zhennan was bedridden, the military and political affairs of Lingzhou have basically fallen into the hands of Zhang Shibi alone. Zhang Shibi got the order conveyed by the Xuanwu Guard and learned that the army had already taken action, so he took action quickly, but did not make any major moves on the surface to avoid alarming the enemy. He just secretly dispatched some troops from Lingzhou to cooperate with the new General Zhennan to deal with the Brotherhood.
Another convenience was that Zhang Shibi closely followed the trends of the Brotherhood, but the Brotherhood had not done much, and still did business as usual, and even recruited workers to build roads. Zhang Shibi didn't care. Since the beginning of the Brotherhood, the Brotherhood had been building roads, and the roads would be built wherever the power expanded. Therefore, the roads in Lingzhou were greatly improved, which was a good thing that the Brotherhood did.
However, Zhang Shibi always felt something was wrong, but he couldn't think of something wrong. The Brotherhood was as usual and he knew nothing about the movements of the court. He sent some people to investigate the movements of the Brotherhood, and the news sent back was as usual. Originally, the military strategy against the Brotherhood was to carry out a surprise attack. Before the Brotherhood could react, the raid was raided. Therefore, the plan was strictly kept confidential, and the Brotherhood did not notice it, and there seemed to be nothing wrong.
With all kinds of worries, Zhang Shibi survived a few days and finally reached the agreed time. On that night, he also wore a suit of armor, rode a war horse, and took some guards to the scheduled meeting place.
The meeting place is in the east of Lingzhou City. According to the plan, the army of Lingzhou meets with the imperial army here, and then raids the core of the Brotherhood Cangshan Prefecture City, as well as Zhengjiazhuang, where the family of the main leader of the Brotherhood is located. The leaders of the Brotherhood are all very skilled in martial arts and have difficult to grasp. Most of their families and clan members are just ordinary people, and they basically live in Zhengjiazhuang and nearby villages.
Zhang Shibi brought his men to the meeting place, and the generals of several major counties in Lingzhou had arrived. Zhang Shibi was relieved. Only Pingnan County had not arrived. Pingnan County had an army composed of Shanyue people under him, which was very fierce. Zhang Shibi had high hopes that the head-on battle would depend on this army. Moreover, Pingnan Bo has a prestige among Shanyue people. There are many Shanyue thugs in the Brotherhood, which may be able to surrender. If successful, the Brotherhood will basically be left with those kids. At this time, Zhang Shibi suddenly thought of something, but he just had just one thought and forgot and didn't think about it again.
Before the Shanyue army of Pingnanbo arrived, Zhang Shibi had no choice but to send people to investigate. While appeased the gathered soldiers and waited quietly, but after waiting for a long time, there was no sign of Pingnanbo's army. The people sent to investigate did not come back. It was a bit strange. Not only Pingnanbo's army, but the imperial army also had no signs for a long time, and there was no news. Did something go wrong? Or did some things delay the trip? Could it be that he remembered the time wrong?
Zhang Shibi was anxiously waiting, and couldn't help but think about it. The more he thought about it, the more he became, the more he was confused. After waiting for a long time, Zhang Shibi couldn't resist sleepiness and fell asleep in a daze.
Zhang Shibi had a beautiful dream, wiped out the Brotherhood, made meritorious service and received rewards, and rose to prominence... When Zhang Shibi suddenly woke up, he found that it was already early in the morning and most of the soldiers gathered were sleeping. Zhang Shibi hurriedly called someone to ask, but learned that Pingnanbo's army and the imperial army had not arrived yet.
Zhang Shibi felt something was wrong. This action was probably not done. Even if the soldiers and generals were dispersed now, they would probably be noticed by the brothers and would not know what to do for a while!
Just when Zhang Shibi was a little at a loss, a loud trumpet sound came from afar, followed by drum beats. The sound was getting closer and closer. Zhang Shibi hurriedly sent someone to investigate the source of the trumpet sound and drum sound.
"Sir, it is a Shanyue people, a Shanyue people's army!" The sent people came back to report.
"Is it Pingnanbo coming?" Zhang Shibi naturally made such a judgment when he learned that it was the Shanyue army.
Zhang Shibi hurried to check it out in person. When Zhang Shibi walked up to a mountain, he saw an army that was advancing with drums. The army was in a regular and majestic manner, and the movement was uniform. The sound of stepping echoed like a whip on the earth. Zhang Shibi couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that Pingnan Bo has such a strong army, so I must write a letter to ask for me!" Seeing the Shanyue army's appearance, Zhang Shibi was a little surprised, and his originally uneasy heart also calmed down a lot. However, when he took a few deep breaths, the Shanyue army approached a little, and he also saw the rough appearance of some of them. Zhang Shibi suddenly froze, then his whole body began to tremble, his face pale, his forehead was sweating profusely, and his mouth suddenly whispered like crazy: "Shanyue!... Shanyue! It's Shanyue people!"
