Chapter 3: Eight Morning Dews At this time, the officials and gentry of the counties of Hebei finally understood why the east and west were left behind to receive their gifts but could not send rescue soldiers for a long time.
The emperor is trapped in Yanmen, who still has the heart to take care of local affairs Since the imperial court has no heart to care about local affairs, Zhang Jincheng, Gao Shida, Cheng Mingzhen and other thieves have naturally been fearless and do whatever they want for more than a month.
But where did Zhang Jin and the other thieves hear about the emperor's trapped Yanmen, how can they be more informed than the officials of the counties, will they collude with the Turks in advance, and if the two sides do not collude, how can the time of the action be so coincidental There are many questions, and it is puzzling.
But for local officials and powerful people at the moment, the most important thing is not to investigate whether there is any connection between the green forest grass and the Turkic wolf riders.
It's about how to find ways to survive in the troubled times and survive.
Zhang Jin said that he was brutal and easy to kill, and he was also angry.
To resist and not to resist him, the result is almost the same.
When he is in a bad mood, his mother and son have to be disemboweled.
If he is in a good mood, he may be magnanimous and magnanimous, and there is no guilt in killing thousands of his brothers.
Coatstar is greedy by nature, and the places he passes are cleaner than washed with water.
In case he hits the door of the house, everyone is waiting to starve to death, whether you surrender or hold on, after the city is broken, as long as you can move the property, including the door plate iron pot, will be taken off and transported away, and you will never see the hope of living again.
In contrast, among the Hebei thieves, Cheng Mingzhen, who abides by the rules, and Dou Jiande, who does not like to kill indiscriminately, are commendable.
The former, in particular, provided that the local officials reached an agreement with him to deliver the required rice on time.
The Zhaozhou army will never come to harass again.
Even the prying eyes of other grass thieves and rogue can be avoided, without waiting for the other party to approach, Cheng Mingzhen will send a sentry to meet him, knowing it with reason, moving it with emotion, and really saying that he can't persuade him, so he will directly show the knife.
Often, before the situation has reached the stage of bright knives, the raiders will retreat on their own.
According to the saying on the green forest road, everyone has their own one-third of an acre, and no one should cross the line.
"If only General Cheng was willing to climb the heights and shout" can't be beaten, and can't escape, in the face of a helpless fate, some people with lively minds can't help but secretly look forward to it.
Now that the imperial court has lost control of Hebei Province, it is better for everyone to pick up a relatively benevolent strong man to follow.
For the sake of everyone's vital interests, Cheng Mingzhen and Dou Jiande are definitely the best choices.
But this idea is also muttered in private, and it will never be implemented.
First of all, Cheng and Dou are both small characters on Hebei Green Forest Road, and Dou Jiande also has Gao Shida, a big boss, and Governor Lang Wang Bo.
As for Cheng Mingzhen, he can't mention it, according to his qualifications, he is a generation younger than Dou Jiande.
Even if it is not based on qualifications, only according to strength, at present, Zhang and Gao Er's thieves each have hundreds of thousands.
And Cheng Mingzhen, after more than a month of tossing, there is no shortage of goods and goods, but there are still more than 10,000 people under his command. really want to rank the heroes of Hebei, although his fame is not small, his power will never run within the last five.
"This son has no ambitions, at best, he is just a slave who keeps his family" After careful analysis, people with a heart will inevitably be disappointed in Cheng Mingzhen.
For more than a month after the autumn, the Hebei heroes took advantage of the opportunity of the imperial court to expand their strength and territory.
The momentum is as huge as Zhang Jin's name, almost sweeping the entire Qinghe County, and is pressing towards Xindu County with the momentum of thunder.
It was slightly worse than Zhang Jincheng tossed, such as Gao Shida and Dou Jiande, and also won almost half of Pingyuan County and half of Bohai County.
However, Cheng Mingzhen was like a watchdog who couldn't leave home, and after helping Zhang Jincheng defeat Yang Shanhui, he returned to the west bank of Zhangshui with the booty.
Recently, Zhang, Gao, Dou, Wang and other thieves have galloped back and forth on the east bank of Zhangshui, picking up the rich counties and big collections.
After Cheng Thief returned to the west bank of Zhangshui, he only pocketed small villages such as Dog Mountain and Purple Mountain and Wu'an County, which was adjacent to Taihang Mountain and was so poor that he couldn't even afford to repair the county government. turned a blind eye to the two cities of Yongnian and Handan, which were close at hand but unable to protect themselves.
This kind of timid petty fight naturally can't attract the attention of others, let alone win the respect of the powerful people everywhere.
People naturally like to look at the strong, even though they may not provide them with any protection.
But there are also a few people, such as Wei Zheng, the chief of Wuyang County, and Zhang Jiuyi, the county magistrate of Xiabo County, but they have more and more respect for Cheng Mingzhen in their speech.
From an angle that others could not notice, they clearly found that just when Zhang Jincheng was vigorously sweeping the Qinghe River and Gao Shida was bustling and causing trouble on the plain, Cheng Mingzhen's Zhaozhou army completely connected the territory under his rule into a solid triangle.
One horn is on top of Juluze, one horn is on top of Zhangshui, and another horn is reaching for thousands of miles of Taihang.
Although Yongnian County and Handan County are also included in this triangle, the officials of those two counties, including the Wu'an County Shou Zhou, whose administrative office is located in Yongnian, will never be able to sit firmly in the official position under the ass if they do not have a secret communication with Cheng Mingzhen.
"You can attack Ji and Wei when you enter, and you can enter the deep mountains of Daze when you retreat, the so-called three caves of the cunning rabbit are nothing more than that" The people with unique eyes in the world are not only Wei Zheng, Zhang Jiuyi and other people who talk about a few people.
Thousands of miles away in Wagang Mountain, there was a man with a white silk on his face brushing his beard and admiring softly.
"Mi Gong is also optimistic about this housekeeper" Standing next to the man with a white silk face was a scholar in his forties and an official on his head.
With a fair face and slender eyebrows, he looks like he is full of money.
It's just that the eyes under the eyebrows are not in harmony with the elegant aura emanating from the body, and they look cloudy, always like a touch of murder floating here.
"Zhang Jincheng, Gao Shida and others are really a group of guinea dogs who open their teeth and dance their claws when they are foraging for food, and when they meet brave generals such as Fan Hao and Xu Huang, they will be the meat on the anvil in an instant" The masked man who was called Mi Gong sneered a few times and commented very arrogantly.
"Hehe, hehe, hehe" The Confucian nodded and smiled, very much agreeing with the masked man's assessment.

"The last time Fang was ordered by Mi Gong to go to Hebei to contact the heroes, he had already discovered this.
At that time, Cheng Mingzhen had just entered the green forest, and his reputation was far less prominent than today.
But he just used a light arrow made of wicker, and Fang's painstaking efforts for many days were in vain.
This son, alas, fell into the hands of Zhang Jincheng, it's a pity" Hearing him say this, the masked man's face twitched visibly.
There is a layer of white silk outside, so that people can't see the viciousness on their faces.
"Although Hebei Green Forest is huge, those who are worthy of the word hero, that is, Dou and Cheng, the rest, let them go."
"The subordinates have made arrangements."
Confucian Sheng took half a step back and bowed down to receive the order.
"With the names of Mi Gong and Wagang Army, they are also willing to give their subordinates one or two points of face.
It's just that Wuyang County Shouyuan Treasure, originally said that it was good to raise troops to respond a month ago, but it was forcibly stopped by a guy named Wei Zheng under his command" The masked man's face twitched again, his eyebrows jumping up and down in pain.
This time, the Confucian man noticed it, quickly stopped talking, stepped forward with both hands to support the masked guest, and asked with concern: "Mi Gong, be careful."
There is a way to break the muscles and bones for a hundred days" "Uh-huh, uh-huh" The masked man was in pain and hatred, and his voice immediately changed tone.
No longer as high as he was earlier, but turned into a vicious roar like a lone wolf in the wilderness, "He, his grandmother's."
I, who for me except this man" As he spoke, he tore off the white silk from his face, revealing a scarred face.
If you ignore the criss-crossing scars, this person can be regarded as a beautiful man.
The phoenix eyes and silkworm eyebrows, the nose is straight and the mouth is square, and there are five long hairs fluttering under the chin, adding three points of heroism.
It's a pity that those scars are too miscellaneous, horizontal and vertical, and there are still deep and shallow blood streaks in some places that have not healed, as if they have been scratched by evil ghosts with sharp claws, how hideous and hideous.
Not only Confucian, but also several civil and military minions around him were all frightened.
Hurriedly ran forward, hugged his waist, pulled his arms, and tossed out a stinky sweat, so that he could persuade the crazy masked guest.
"Mi Gong, Mi Gong, the heavens want to descend on you, and you can't be rash.
That Wei Xuancheng is just a small official the size of a sesame mung bean, and if his subordinates think of a way, they will definitely be able to say that the Yuan treasure will untie the knot in front of him" Confucius hurriedly persuaded while rewrapping the white silk for the masked guest.
"Yanzao" masked man gritted his teeth, called Confucian and his own name and said: "I think about how the surname Yuan patted his chest when he begged me Li Mi for help.
Now, I'm just asking him to add another firewood to the fire."
The man dressed as a Confucian sighed and continued to persuade in a low voice, "Why should Mi Gong be like such a villain.
Since ancient times, there are few people who send charcoal in the snow, and there are many people who add icing on the cake.
When the treasure of the yen is asked for you, of course you are willing to agree to anything.
Now he sees that the Wagang army has been defeated several times in a row."
"Mr.
Fang, don't say any more," a seven-foot-tall martial artist interrupted.
"Look at how angry the lord has become.
Isn't it just a treasure of yuan, early tomorrow morning, I will sneak to Wuyang and cut his head to the lord."
"Bo Dang said something angry," Fang Yanzao, who was dressed as a Confucian student, turned his head and retorted, "If you kill Yuan Bao, Wuyang County will inevitably fall into the hands of Gao Shida."
That high thief wolf ambition" "But wait to be slaughtered," Wang Bodang responded by quoting Li Mi's evaluation just now.
"What if you get Wuyang, can you withstand our blow?"
Li Mi's henchman Fang Yanzao was originally at odds with Wang Bodang and other martial artists, and when he heard that the other party was so arrogant, he couldn't help but sneer and mock, "General Wang killed him, of course, it was as easy as digging for something."
Just don't meet other heroes" "What do you mean by that" Wang Bodang immediately jumped up and pointed at Fang Yanzao's nose and asked.
Fang Yanzao shrugged slightly, "It's not interesting, praise the general's martial arts."
The Wagang army was defeated by Zhang Xutuo again and again this year, and it was not until last month that Yang Guang was trapped in Yanmen, and the three fierce generals under Zhang Xutuo, Li Xu, Qin Shubao, and Luo Shixin, were ordered to go to the outside of the Saiwai to rescue the driver, and finally took a breath.
But the defeat of more than half a year has cast a huge shadow on everyone's hearts.
Zhai Rang's internal camp is better, with the three masters Xu Maogong in charge, plus the assistance of brave generals such as Shan Xiongxin and Cheng Zhijie, although he has suffered many losses, he has not lost his sharpness.
On the side of the Pushan Public Camp of Li Mi's department, because of too many defeats, there have been faint signs of instability inside.
If it were last year, Fang Yanzao and Wang Bodang would never dare to quarrel in front of Li Mi.
And now, they ignored Li Mi beside them, their faces turned black with anger, and they sneered at each other.
Wang Bodang understood that the meaning of the other party's words was that he, Wang Bodang, was worthy of killing a few civil officials who were powerless, and he didn't even have the ability to protect himself when he met a truly strong martial arts general.
For a while, he couldn't find the right words to fight back, only the corners of his mouth turned blue with hatred, and his eyes were on fire.

Several martial artists who were good friends with Wang Bodang couldn't get used to Fang Yanzao's damage, but they were all clumsy and couldn't help at all.
Moreover, it is a fact that Wang Bodang was beaten by Luo Shixin and vomited blood, everyone saw it with their own eyes, and no one could deny it.
"No matter how high General Wang's martial arts are, he can't stand the fact that some people always push everyone into the pit" Just as the generals were suffocating and panting, a snarky voice suddenly sounded outside the door.
"Hehe, strategize and win a thousand miles.
It's a pity that every time the calculation is finished, the enemy wins, and the brothers send it to the door every time to find and fight."
These words are a hundred times more damaging than Fang Yanzao's ridicule of Wang Bodang just now, not only ridiculing the incompetence of the plotter, but also faintly exposing his collusion with the enemy and deliberately framing everyone.
The generals finally let out a bad breath, turned back with a smile, and happened to see Wang Deren, the former master of Lin Shushan, and now Wang Deren, the general of Anyuan in Wagangzhai, walked in with a smile.
This son listened to Fang Yanzao's persuasion and traveled thousands of miles to vote for Li Mi.
But after arriving at Wagang Mountain, I don't know for what reason, I turned against Fang Yanzao, the leader. is prone to use words to squeeze on each other, without leaving any face for the other party.
Because he brought more than 20,000 brothers with him when he joined the gang, he was quite powerful.
Therefore, even if Fang Yanzao was angry in his heart, he did not dare to use means to deal with him easily, so as not to force this person, provoke him to lead his troops away, and weaken Li Mi's already very weak strength.
Even Li Mi didn't dare to be too big when he saw Wang Deren at this moment.
Quickly forced himself to cheer up from his indignation and disappointment, and stepped forward with a smile, "Why did Naruhito have time to come to me today, haven't you been busy with military affairs recently?"
"What kind of bullshit is that the military affairs are safe and sound, Zhang Xutuo has suddenly been kind recently, and he has no time to toss with us Lao Tzu just took the opportunity to take a breath, alas, I have been fighting for half a year, and I am tired of Lao Tzu" Wang Deren glanced at Fang Yanzao provocatively again, and responded aggressively.
He stabbed him so horizontally, and the unpleasant scene just now was revealed.
Everyone smiled and persuaded him: "Don't take it lightly, Zhang Xutuo is an old fox."
"Brother Deren should be careful, and Zhou Wenyuan suffered this kind of loss half a month ago."
The more everyone persuaded him, Wang Deren became more and more energetic, "Bah, Zhou Wenyuan, that's unlucky."
I'm not so stupid, waiting for Zhang Xutuo to come to the door.
Lao Tzu divided the troops and dragged them out for twenty miles.
At most, Zhang Xutuo captured my first camp.
The others got the letter and immediately went into the ravine.
Unless the old guy has eight legs, he won't be able to catch up with me if he gets tired of the old guy."
That's not an option.
The losses of the Wagang army are too great, and in a short period of time, there is no strength to compete with the officers and troops of Zhang Xutuo's department.
However, the terrain around Wagangzhai is complicated, the forest is deep and thick, as long as he doesn't care about the gains and losses of one village and one base, Zhang Xutuo can not wipe out all the people in a short period of time with only more than 10,000 county soldiers in his hands.
And in these years, everything is lacking, and the last thing is the homeless hungry.
As long as Zhang Xutuo doesn't copy the old bottom, everyone goes outside for half a circle, and they can pull up another team at will.
Of course, this kind of lazy tactic is only used by lazy characters like Wang Deren.
Replacing Li Mi, he would rather lose another game vigorously than endure the humiliation of being chased as a rabbit.
Fortunately, he has been haunted on the sickbed since he was knocked off the horse by Li Zhongjian in the summer and disfigured.
Therefore, at present, the tactics of the Wagang Army are still based on preserving strength, and only occasionally when there is no way to retreat, they will fight with Zhang Xutuo.
The purpose of each battle is only to win time for the brigade to transfer, and after reaching the goal, they will evacuate in a hurry, and will never encounter the officers and soldiers as before.
Li Mi and Fang Yanzao looked at each other, and they felt very uncomfortable.
They knew that with Wang Deren's little ability, even the lazy tactics of one-touch escape might not be able to think of it.
The instigator behind all this must be Xu Maogong, the third leader of the Wagang Army.
Before Li Mi entered Wagang Mountain, although the number of people in the Wagang Inner Battalion led by Xu Maogong was small, it had always had an undefeated reputation.
Losing the control of the army, which was so hard to obtain, is equivalent to losing the entire Wagang Mountain.
Li Mi knew what it meant to him to lose the big signboard of Wagang Mountain.
It also made him hate more and more people who stood in the way of his great achievements, including those who defeated him, and those who rode on the wall and watched from both ends of the rat.
Even, including those colleagues who took advantage of his lingering sickbed and took the opportunity to "steal" power from him.
But in front of a powerful person like Wang Deren, who rides on the wall, Li Mi must hide the hatred in his heart deeply.
Coughed lightly a few times, suppressing the hustle and bustle of everyone, he smiled again: "Deren's move is good, it is definitely enough for Zhang Xutuo to have a headache for a while."
It's a pity that Li's injuries haven't healed yet, and he can't see the wind for a while.
Otherwise, we will definitely have to watch the enemy battle on the top of the mountain, and see how Naruhito will exhaust Zhang Xuda to death."

"If he is tired, he will not die, and he will die half-dead" Wang Deren unceremoniously accepted Li Mi's compliment.
Then he wiped the spit on his mouth and shouted, "But I didn't come to you to show off."
I have something serious to ask you about. ” As he spoke, his eyes rolled around.
Seeing this, although the civil and military cronies around Li Mi were very dissatisfied, for the sake of the overall situation, they also got up with a smile and said goodbye.
After the people in the room were left with only the two parties left, Li Mi paced a few steps slowly, and walked to Wang Deren's side with a smile, "Say, Deren must have something important to inform me."
I promise that it will come out of your mouth and into my ears, and it will never be heard by a third person."
"Ha, Mi Gong is happy," Wang Deren gave up his hand with satisfaction.
Then he lowered his voice and asked in a volume that only the two of them could hear: "I heard that Mi Gong and Cheng Mingzhen are apprentices taught by a master."
Brush Li Mi's eyes suddenly lit up, and two fierce murderous auras rushed towards him
