Chapter 61 Promise
"Xu Wufu, Xu Heng, Xu Chen and his son died several days apart. Xu Wuli changed his name and surname to join Dong Cheng, Xu, Yuhuangling, Shituling, Xiemashan and Jinshagou can be said to have fallen into control by Xu Wujiang, Xu Wukun, Xu Wuliang and others. Zhou Jing, Xu Sheng and other old soldiers who returned from Jingsheng's army also surrendered. These old soldiers were not limited to the Xu family, but were the thieves who returned from Tongbai Mountain after Wang Xiaocheng recruited from Tongbai Mountain.
Not many forty people joined Lutaizhai. At this time, Xu Wujiang, Xu Wuliang and others were still in Huaiyuan, either serving as officials in the inspection department or as village servants. However, they did not focus on managing land and houses, but used the Zhufeng Hall to run the Five-Soldier Casino business, and at the same time put the former Xu family's business under the Zhufeng Hall to run the Zhufeng Hall. In addition to Huaiyuan, they are currently using "Zhufeng" as halls to buy shops.
Before Wang Bing led his prisoners to move from Huanglongpo Post to Zhufeng Village, we noticed the existence of this villa, but from the outside, we did not see any signs of contact with Lanzhou Stone Field. However, yesterday, the new words "Zhufeng Village, Wang Bing's title" were engraved on the stone plaque yesterday. There is also a shop on the east street of Kelancheng, hanging the Lanzhou branch of Zhufeng Hall. It can be seen that Wang Bing had already taken Xu as his own use before leaving Tongbai Mountain and used Zhufeng to use Zhufeng.
As a source of his comeback, the hall secretly led the Yaksha Fox. Lu Xiong, Xu Wujiang, Xu Huai, Tang Pan, Xu Xin'an, Xu Wukun, Xu Wuliang, Su Laochang and others were just his minions. It was a pity that Zheng Hui, Dong Qifeng and others died in vain. Dong Cheng came to the governor of Tangzhou, but he was unwilling to arrange these things for the prime minister. So we delayed until this time to sort out the veins and clean up the lines. We did not realize Wang Bing's wolf ambition in Lanzhou in advance..."
Yue Hailou and Guo Zhongxiong sat in the hall, Zeng Run, Zhu Xiaotong, Chen Zixiao and others sat on the left and right, listening to a man who was exhausted and reported the information about Wang Bing and the people in Tongbai Mountain that had been summarized during this period.
Dong Qifeng returned to Bianjing to present the incident of Tongbai Mountain. It was before October last year. It was mainly said that Chen Zixiao, Zhong Changqing and other thief chiefs were available. The Cai Mansion did not pay much attention to this matter at that time, it was nothing more than Zheng Hui. Dong Qifeng thought it was available and used.
In addition, the Cai family's understanding and understanding of Tongbai Mountain affairs mainly comes from Zheng Hui's transmission of more than a dozen secret letters. However, in Zheng Hui, Dong Qifeng was ambushed at Maomaoerling, and Dong Cheng was specialized in recruiting security affairs and was unwilling to interfere in other matters.
Cai Ying was a businessman for half his life, and had power in the court and the country, with countless disciples and old officials. The Cai Mansion has thousands of hectares of land and houses everywhere, and thousands of private officials in the village. Naturally, he would not pay attention to Chen Zixiao, the recruitment chiefs who had no key links.
This made the Cai family's grasp of Tongbai Mountain affairs a big mistake, and there was no one who even watched the movements in Tongbai Mountain in the later period.
Although it was also considered that during the Tongbai Mountain Bandit Rebellion, Wang Bing might have colluded with the local forces in Tangzhou by using the bandit suppression and eventually demoted Wang Bing to Lanzhou, Zeng Run, who represented Cai's mansion to Lanzhou, was too confident and thought that he could control Wang Bing in his hands, and did a lot of work very roughly.
After Yue Hailou noticed some problems, he hurriedly arranged a special trip to Tangzhou to investigate the details of Zheng Hui and Dong Qifeng's ambush.
However, it was not until the grain incident that further news came.
Guo Zhongxiong's resentment had not subsided. He hated Wang Bing for such a thing, and also blamed Yue Hailou for having noticed this long ago and had not communicated with him.
However, he had something more important at this time and had no intention of disturbing the quagmire again. Now he sat down to learn about the basic situation of Wang Bing and Tongbai Mountain bandits. After hearing this, he looked at his nose and his nose, but he said indifferently: "There are so many people who can use it, and his strength is indeed not low. No wonder Lanzhou almost asked him to break the sky..." Remember in one second
Yue Hailou looked at Chen Zixiao and asked him, "Empress Chen, do you think there is any problem with this news?"
"I was recruited to the north and went north. I was interested in learning more about the movements of Wang Bing and the Xu people, but my old subordinates were all broken up and organized into the forbidden army. I never dared to contact him without authorization..." Chen Zixiao was unintentionally showing his strength too much at this time, and what he said was the truth.
The coalition forces of the villages were disbanded. As the most important thief chief, he has always been a key point of prevention after being recruited. How dare he contact his old subordinates frequently after he arrived in Lanzhou?
Yue Hailou has kept Chen Zixiao by his side these days, and he did not realize that he would deceive himself in some details, but with the information he has collected, he still felt that there were too many mistakes and things that he could not figure out.
"No matter whether Wang Bing wants to use Zhufengtang as his minion and to make a comeback, the situation is about to be in full swing, and they are always on the sidelines and cannot make any troubles - Zhu Xiaotong, please stay in the prison camp first, and no one should waste your energy. You should still do your best to assist Guo Shishi and raise the war first..." The Yan was about to be defeated, and Yue Hailou did not want to waste too much manpower to stare at the actions of Wang Bing and others, and he also felt that there was no need for this.
Zhu Xiaotong's face was full of bitterness.
All matters related to the stone yard are subject to Wang Bing's control, which means that as a prison camp, he has to obey Wang Bing's orders on the surface, and the prison camp will become Yanqing and be a typical fence-bearer, which means that his life will be very difficult for him to live.
Especially when thinking about Xu Huai's rash face, Zhu Xiaotong felt uncomfortable as if he had been ill for many days.

"You really want to follow the army north?"
Liu Qiong'er knew Xu Huai the most and was willing to believe him. That's exactly what she knew that Xu Huai's expedition to the north this time contained too many unknown dangers.
The Tongbai Mountain Bandits Rebellion subsided less than a year. After Xu Huai and his friends took over the Xu family, they could have established a foundation in the local area, and were even far more powerful than the previous Xu family.
However, Tongbai Mountain's blood loss was too serious.
In addition to the village camp and the thieves in the villages, California County recruited soldiers from the villages in the west of Tongbai Mountain, with nearly 8,000 soldiers killed in front and behind; there were 4,000 young and strong people who escaped from the bandits and died of hunger and disease due to illness and epidemics. The thieves in the villages were recruited, and another 6,000 soldiers were disbanded and placed in Lanfa and other places.
These are all Ding Zhuang in Tongbai Mountain.
Before the bandits' chaos, the population of Tongbai Mountain was nearly 150,000, and the number of Ding Zhuang was nearly 50,000, which was more than that of a wealthy county. However, after a bandit chaos, it was directly reduced by 40%, which was a serious blow.
Xu Huai expected that the coalition forces would not have any good results in attacking Yan. This time they spent so much effort to go north, in addition to watching the situation, allowing more people to go out of Tongbai Mountain to grow their horizons. One of the main purpose was to gather the enemy soldiers of Tongbai Mountain as much as possible when the Great Yue troops were defeated.
No matter how the world will change in the future, this will set them a foothold.
Now, Guo Jun, Pan Chenghu, Du Zhong, Meng Laodao and other big and small generals have been summoned to attract the thieves. If the war against Yan is going smoothly, no matter how strong they use, they will not be able to pick up the enemy soldiers in Tongbai Mountain from the complete organization.
If the troops who attacked Yan suffered a major setback and fled south, they could gather the enemy troops in Tongbai Mountain on the road they had to escape south.
When they followed the army to the north, they didn't know what dangers were in Yan's territory. Secondly, Xu Huai and the others were weak and weak. The Cai generals who held the dominant power in the northern army would be able to suppress and torture them with too many means.
Liu Qiong'er really didn't want Xu Huai to take this risk.
"Are you worried about me now?" Xu Huai was looking at Liu Qiong'er with the newly compiled information from the girls. He looked up at Liu Qiong'er's beautiful face and asked.
"Bah, who is worried about you? The body of a thousand gold medals can't sit in the hall. I just thought that since I can do something in Lanzhou, why bother to do this?" Liu Qiong'er rolled her beautiful eyes and said angrily.
"The so-called son of a thousand gold, who cannot sit in the hall, is just an excuse for corrupt scholars to make for themselves greedy for life and death; the world is broken, no wonder it is not caused by everyone's life?" Xu Huai threw the book on his desk, spread his feet, asked Liu Qiong'er to stand with him, and said, "I expected that the torrent of the torrent would be caused, but at this time I didn't feel the stones and wade through the stream and the river, practiced the water nature, and how to resist it when the torrent of the torrent came? It's not my style."
For more than a year, he, Tang Pan, Xu Xin'an and others followed Wang Bing, Lu Xiong learned the method of commanding troops and governing the army, and had the experience accumulated by the Tongbai bandits. It can be said that they grew very fast.
However, when Wang Bing and Lu Xiong were serving in the Western Army, they saw that the northwest army mainly used the steep and rugged terrain of the northwest to implement shallow fortress attacks. They had great limitations in their views on commanding troops and conquests.
Xu Huai expected that the cavalry of the Chihu people would enter the Central Plains like a torrent.
Even if the situation will not get worse after the first year of Jianhe, the Central Plains north of the Huai River will be shrouded under the iron cavalry of the Chihu people.
Since the founding of the Great Yue Dynasty, the horse farming land in the north and northwest was occupied by the Khitans and Dangxiang people, and the Dayue Imperial Army was mainly infantry and had very few cavalry units.
In Pingchuan area, Wang Bing and Lu Xiong knew very little about how to use infantry to fight against large-scale cavalry, and Xu Huai was also thinking about it.
Xu Huai asked Liu Qiong'er to help collect a lot of military books from previous dynasties, but the paper always felt that it was shallow.
Even if the Khitans were centipede insects, they would not die without being stagnant, and their cavalry troops would naturally not allow the generals and officials of the Great Yue to be sparse, but their absolute strength was far inferior to that of the cavalry of the Chihu people.
Xu Huai thought of following the army to the northern expedition, and one idea was to see with his own eyes the live show of tens of thousands of infantry and cavalry fighting in the relatively open Huihe River Valley, and even the wider desert grassland to the north.
This is not only for him, but also for Xu Xin'an, Tang Pan and others.
If they were afraid of danger at this time, and when the cavalry of the Red Guards went south like a torrent, they would flee all the way south and try to resist?
