Chapter 375 The Best Time

Of course, Wang Qing is not a person who is willing to be content with the status quo, otherwise why would he join the Duan family of Da Chong Nest, let alone annex Liao Li, the original owner of Fang Shanzhai, and even prepare to attack Fangzhou Fucheng.

So after listening to Mu Xu's words, Wang Qing deliberately refuted a few words, but after thinking about it, he realized that what he said was really true. Everyone in the world can be recruited for rebellion, but he and Fang La can't.

He, Wang Qing, offended Cai Jing and his group of powerful ministers. Once he recruited An, he might become a fish on the sword.And Fang La was even more serious. His Manichaeism teachings offended the rich and powerful in the world, and he didn't even have a chance to recruit.

"Brother Yimu said, it seems that I can only fight hard?"

Mu Xu praised, "Brother Wang is much happier than Fang La. He is clearly the one who wants to rebel the most, but he still refuses to admit it. Using the excuse of preaching to fool people is just making people laugh."

With a twinkle in Wang Qing's eyes, he walked up to Mu Xu, and asked seemingly casually, "Brother, can you tell me what agreement you have with the monster Fang Lana? Of course, if it's inconvenient, just pretend I didn't say it." This."

Even if Wang Qing didn't ask, Mu Xu would find an opportunity to reveal the matter, so when he heard Wang Qing ask, he hesitated a little, and told about the two of them agreeing to raise troops together.

Wang Qing said with a smile, "The brother came to see me this time, is he trying to drag me into trouble together?"

Mu Xu said as a bachelor, "Of course, after all, the Great Song Dynasty's power is still strong and its strength is not exhausted. If a single family is the one who stands out, it will definitely be hit by a thunderbolt."

"Brother, I'm afraid you are a little unfounded? When I was in Tokyo, I was also a member of the Forbidden Army. The mighty army that was invincible in all battles at the beginning of the Song Dynasty has long been a showpiece. The local Xiang army is no less Let it go." Wang Qing said disdainfully.

But Mu Xu said, "Brother Wang, did you forget your cheap uncle Tong Guan, who is now in charge of the elite Western Army. Xixia has been disabled in recent years, and the Hengshan barrier has been lost, so there is nothing to worry about.

Therefore, if we make too much noise, then Zhao Guanjia will definitely recruit the Western Army to suppress the rebellion. At that time, we will be alone, who can resist the [-] Western Army? "

Wang Qing was at a loss for words for a while, but fortunately he was a neat person, and after realizing that Mu Xu was not talking nonsense, he immediately agreed to Mu Xu's cooperation proposal, and the two clapped their hands together as an oath.

The two of them as family members have settled the matter, then the rest will be easy to deal with, and they will be handed over to Zhu Wu and Li Zhu to discuss the details, so Mu Xu and the others had to stay in Fangshanzhai for three more days before choosing to leave. .

A few people left Fangshanzhai, went to Fangzhou Mansion to join Zhang Shun and others, then headed north on the same day, crossing the prefecture and the mansion, took more than a month, and finally returned to Liangshanbo.

After returning to Liangshan, Mu Xu first ordered Du Qian to take Yang Zaixing and Zhang Shuisheng to Houzhai for resettlement, and then summoned Xu Guanzhong and Shi Qian without stopping.

The two came very quickly, and as soon as they entered the Juyi hall, Xu Guanzhong said from a distance, "The village master will return today, and the journey must be very hard, why don't you go and rest for two days?"

Mu Xu waved his hand, signaling the three of them not to be too polite, and replied, "We are now in a critical period, and I will be away for more than two months, how can I slack off?"

After they sat down, Mu Xu couldn't wait to ask how the cottage was doing after he left for a while.

Xu Guanzhong replied, "Don't worry, the village master, everything in the village is as usual, the [-] new recruits have been trained, and now there are [-] troops in Wanzi City alone, waiting for the village master to dispatch at any time.

In addition, half a month after the owner of the village left, another hero from the Jianghu brought people to join the group. They were three heroes from Yinmachuan, namely Pei Xuan, Deng Fei, and Meng Kang, together with more than [-] subordinates.Does the village master want to see them now? "

Mu Xu thought for a while and replied, "No hurry, I will formally summon them tomorrow. Brother Shi Qian, is there any change in Qingfeng Mountain?"

When Shi Qian heard Mu Xu's question, he didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly cupped his fists and said, "Returning to my brother, Chao Gai and his gang went down the mountain to rescue Song Jiang last month. Since Song Jiang joined the gang, Qingfengshan has also followed us and set up a pole." The big banner of doing justice for the sky has recruited soldiers and horses, and now its strength has increased greatly, with no less than [-] soldiers and horses."

"Then is there any movement from the imperial court?"

"There is a new governor in Qingzhou, whose surname is Zhang and whose name is Shu Ye. According to reports from spies in Qingzhou City, Zhang Shu Ye has been repairing and strengthening the city since he took office, hoarding food and grass. I am afraid that he is preparing for the conquest of Qingfeng Mountain."

"Zhang Shuye?" Mu Xu muttered, this person is not easy to deal with, he is the one who suppressed Song Jiang's uprising in the official history, with him in Qingzhou, Song Jiang and the others will have difficulties.

"What about Zengtou City, did you send someone to find out what's true?" After paying attention to Qingfeng Mountain, Mu Xu immediately asked about Zengtou City.

Shi Qian replied, "Zengtou City has a population of more than [-], and there are more than [-] Zhuang Ding who can use it for war. There are at least [-] good horses in the village. It is a well-known underground horse market. In addition, according to the spies According to the report, the Zeng family will send people out to sea from Dengzhou every three or five o'clock, and they can bring back hundreds of good horses every time they come back."

"I see. It seems that the Zeng family and the Jurchens have been secretly communicating with each other. Maybe they are spies sent by the Jurchens to the Central Plains."

"At present, this possibility is very high."

"Sure enough, it's not my race, and their hearts must be different, so we can feel at ease when we attack his family." Mu Xu sneered, and he had already made up his mind that he must uproot the Zeng family.

Xu Guanzhong, who was sitting quietly beside him, asked, "When will the village master plan to use his troops?"

Mu Xu murmured, "Zengtou City is located in the southwest of Lingzhou, adjacent to Qingzhou. With our current strength, it is not difficult to conquer, and it can be used for training. But if you don't want to be disturbed by officers and soldiers, you can only find the best Timing, such as when the imperial court conquered Qingfeng Mountain."

Xu Guanzhong thought about it, and said, "The most urgent thing right now is to prepare the army's food, grass and equipment, so as not to be caught off guard when they get it."

Mu Xu nodded and said, "At this time, I will hand it over to the two military advisers. I will let Du Qian and Song Wan fully cooperate."

"I will not disgrace my life, Xiao Ke will go to the two leaders, Du and Song. The village master has been running around for days, so it is best to rest for a while." Xu Guanzhong got up and cupped his fists, and said goodbye to Mu Xu.

Seeing this, Shi Qian also hurriedly said, "The military master's words are justified, my younger brother will retire first."

"Forget it, let's discuss it tomorrow."

After coming out of the Juyi hall, Mu Xu went back to the Houzhai alone, and went straight to Zhao Yuannu's courtyard. When he walked to the door, he saw Li Shishi came out with the girl Yicui. with tears.

"Hey, whoever made my teacher angry, tell me quickly, and see if I don't hit him hard!"

Hearing Mu Xu's teasing words, Li Shishi was overjoyed at first, then rolled his eyes at him, and said angrily, "That person is far away in the sky, but close in front of us, who could it be if it wasn't you?"

Mu Xu shouted injustice, "My lady's words are so unreasonable, I just came back today, how can I make my lady angry?"

Li Shishi wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and explained, "The Nu family sees Yuan Nu reunited with his younger brother, and is happy for her, so we shed tears for a while."

Although Mu Xu is not a master in the field of love, he is not really that incomprehensible. Just looking at Li Shishi's expression, he knows that this statement must be an excuse.As soon as he thought about it, he understood the reason. He waved his hand at Yicui to signal her to back down, then held Li Shishi's catkin and asked softly,

"Master, there are still relatives alive. If there are any, I will send someone to pick them up so that you can also reunite with your relatives."

Li Shishi laughed at himself, "I don't have the luck of being a slave in my family. My mother gave birth to me and died when I was young. My father dragged me to eight years old and died too. Later, I was adopted by Li's mother in the old building, so that I can grow up." .”

"Teacher, don't be sad, you have me now, if it's still not enough, then we will give birth to ten or eight of them in the future, and I guarantee you will be satisfied!"

"Pfft!" Li Shishi laughed through his tears when he was teased by these words, hammered Mu Xu's chest with his hand, and scolded with a smile, "You are a pig when you are a slave, and you can give birth to ten or eight. If you can give birth to one or two, the slave will not be in vain. This life!"
