{Draft, Draft, Draft} Before I cooperated with Shi Jin, I had to be secretive about selling private salt.
Since Shi Jin's power increased greatly and he captured Jeju, Chao Gai now cooperates with Shi Jin openly and sells private salt.
Thanks to the good cooperative relationship with Liangshan, Chao Gai, the King of Tota, is already the largest private merchant of green salt in Shandong.
When Shi Jin was just a small village owner, he got involved with him and helped him get pig iron.
In return, he now earns one hundred thousand taels of silver per year.
This made Chao Gai, the King of Pagodas, always admire his gaze.
As long as he works for a few more years, I'm afraid he will be the richest in Shandong besides Shi Jin.
This small wish to revitalize the Chao family is about to come true.
Just when Chao Gai was thinking about whether he should be bolder and discuss with Shi Jin to buy more green salt and sell it to other places, such as Hebei Province, he suddenly heard that his right-hand man Liu Tang was leaving. .
How could someone who sells private salt like this have no rivals or robbers who rob people of their homes?
Liu Tang was highly skilled in martial arts and dared to fight.
It was precisely because of the protection of the village protection team he led that his private salt business had not suffered major setbacks over the years.
When he heard that Liu Tang was leaving, Chao Gai panicked.
He hurriedly asked: "Brother Liu Tang, why are you leaving so suddenly?
Could it be that I, Chao Gai, have done something negligent?
If you tell me, Chao Gai will definitely tell you."
I apologize and will definitely improve.”
Liu Tang hurriedly shook his head and said: "King Chao Tian, don't get me wrong.
You are generous and generous over the years, and you have not neglected Liu Tang."
When Chao Gai heard this, he was immediately dissatisfied and said, "Why do you still want to leave?"
Liu Tang sighed and said: "I dare not hide it from King Chao.
Liu Tang is planning to defect to Jiuzhilong Shijin."
When he heard that Liu Tang was going to defect to Shi Jin, Chao Gai shouted in annoyance: "What are you doing to defect to Shi Jin?
He has already surrendered to the imperial court and is willing to be a minion of the imperial court.
Now the traitors in the imperial court are in power, and they have great abilities."
You’re not allowed to stretch, it’s better to live freely here with me.”
Liu Tang shook his head and said, "I hope King Chao Tian knows that Shi Haohan originally defected to the imperial court in order to lead his men to attack the Liao Kingdom and regain Yanyun.
He abandoned his personal interests, ignored the high-ranking officials and generous salaries he received, and was willing to take risks to lead his troops to attack The Liao Kingdom has fulfilled the long-cherished wish of our Han men.
Please read this, King Chao Tian, this is the message written by Shi Haohan."
Chao Gai took the letter from Liu Tang and opened it.
The letter read: "There are many polices in the border towns, and many captives and cavalry have moved away.
Shi Jin wants to expose the name of the Liao general and announce to the world: Khitan wolves are cruel and cruel, killing all living beings.
Humans and gods are jealous of each other, and heaven and earth will not tolerate it.
I still have the ambition of a wolf. , peeking at the stolen artifact, looking north to the sin-filled China, looking up to the sky and roaring, with strong feelings.
Feeling uneasy, the knight is sent to Sangqian.
Today, he gathers a large number of volunteers to march through the gap in Helan Mountain.
He is hungry and eats the flesh of the Huns.
He talks about drinking the blood of the Xiongnu.
Return.
We hope that the righteous army can express public anger together; support the royal family and save the people.
When the day comes, we can implement it quickly."
I saw in the text that the ambition was to eat the meat of the Huns when they were hungry, and they laughed and talked about drinking the blood of the Huns when they were thirsty.
Holding a three-foot green front, I will never return to Youzhou until I break it.
At these words, Chao Gai couldn't help but feel his blood boiling for a moment.
If it had been a few years earlier, maybe Chao Gai would have really left everything behind and followed Shi to attack the Liao Kingdom.

But now Chao Gai could only put away his message and sighed: "I have underestimated this Shi Jin, he is really a first-class good man."
Liu Tang also agreed: "Shi Jin is really a first-class good man.
Such people are the great heroes that our generation should respect.
Liu Tang will follow him to fight against the Liao Kingdom and travel across the border."
Although Chao Gai couldn't help but be excited after reading the memorandum, he didn't like that his capable men had taken refuge in Shi Jin like this.
Chao Gai covered his forehead and shouted in distress: "Brother Liu Tang, this Liao army has strong soldiers and horses.
Even Song Taizu and Song Taizong can't recapture Yanyun with more than 100,000 troops.
He has only as many soldiers and horses as Shi Jincai."
Wouldn't it be too childish to rush to attack Liao with just a few troops?
Brother Liu Tang should think about it again, so as not to die in a foreign country."
When Liu Tang heard this, he flatly refused and said: "Thank you very much for King Chao Tian's kindness, but such a feat as recovering Yanyun would not be possible without me, Liu Tang.
If unfortunately he dies in battle, he can only blame me, Liu Tang, for not being as good as others, and nothing else."
"Brother Liu Tang."
When Chao Gai wanted to persuade him again, Liu Tang said: "King Chao Tian, I have made up my mind, and I still ask the King of Heaven to make it happen."
Seeing that Liu Tang had made up his mind, the Chao family sighed and said: "Since you have already decided, how can I have the nerve to force it.
That's all, you and I have been brothers for many years, and today you are going to join Shi and go to the battlefield.
As a brother, I will make a good craftsman.
I gave you that piece of armor, I hope it can help you.”
When Liu Tang heard this, he hurriedly knelt down and raised his hands and said, "Thank you so much, King Chao Tian, for making this happen."
The Chao family asked Zhuang Ke to bring the pair of chain-swallowing animal-faced chainmail, cooked steel lion helmet, pomegranate-red brocade robe, gold-plated animal-faced girdle, green cloud root boots, three-pointed two-edged eight-ring knife in the warehouse. , and a green-maned horse were all given to Liu Tang.
At the entrance of the village, the Chao family took two bowls of wine from the banker's tray, handed one bowl to Liu Tang, and shouted: "Brother, you are such a hero, you will be able to stand out under Shi Jinjun.
In the future, with a sword and a gun, if you can control your background, , don’t forget me, brother.
With this bowl of wine, I wish you a long journey.”
Liu Tang took the wine, drank it all in one gulp and said, "Brother, don't worry.
I'm too rich to forget my brother.
I'm gone.
Brother, how precious are you?"
Liu Tang took his own way to Dengzhou, but Chao Gai took Zhuang Ke back with a hesitation.
In a courtyard of Yuliuzhuang in the Taihu Lake area, four men were sitting together, drinking rice wine and discussing.
The leader, the red-bearded dragon with yellow hair and wearing a green silk jacket, put down his thick bowl and said, "How do you think about the things mentioned in the letter about defecting to Shi Jin?"
Ni Yun, a curly-haired tiger with a short beard and a black and green collared cotton shirt, heard this and shouted: "I think it's okay.
Why are you brothers hiding in Taihu Lake and unwilling to go out?
It's not because the world is not good and traitors are in power. , plus we don’t want to cause trouble and harm the elders in our hometown, so we just hide in Taihu Lake and enjoy ourselves.
But now Shi Haohan is going to fight against the Liao Kingdom and regain Yanyun, how can we miss such a thing."
The black-faced and long-bearded Taihu Jiao Buqing said: "But after the Liao Kingdom was conquered, it has been said since ancient times: Taiping is originally determined by the generals, and the generals are not allowed to see it.
We worked hard to capture Yanyun, and then we were killed by the ignorant king and treacherous ministers.
Then Isn’t it too resentful?”
Xiong Dicheng, a thin-faced man with broad cheeks, disagreed and said: "Song Shenzong said in public that whoever can win the sixteen states of Yanyun can be crowned king.
The current emperor cannot openly violate his oath and be crowned king.
In the future, At worst, it will be idle, but we have also captured the Yanyun Sixteenth Prefecture, and the names of our four brothers will be indispensable in future historical records.
How can we miss such a thing that will leave our names in history?"
Taihu Jiao Buqing retorted: "Liao has strong soldiers and horses, how can you guarantee that Shi Jin will definitely defeat Liao?"
The thin-faced Xiong Dicheng shouted: "That's much better than a guy who doesn't do anything.
Although we don't know whether that heroic hero can lead his troops to defeat the Liao army, at least he has the courage to do this.
As for us, we will do this.

Staying in Taihu Lake all day is a life of leisure, but what's the point of living like this all the time?
Are we all willing to waste our lives like this and then die in a hospital bed?"
After hearing the words of the thin-faced Xiong Dicheng, the other three people fell into silence.
In the end, Red Bearded Dragon shouted: "There's no way we can keep sitting like this.
I decided to go and see Jiuzhilong Shijin in person, if he is really going to fight the Liao Kingdom and regain Yanyun.
He is really as rumored If he is such a great hero, then we will follow him and die without any regrets."
When the thin-faced Xiong Dicheng heard this, he immediately shouted: "Brother said it well.
Hearing is false, seeing is believing.
Let's go and experience the spirit of Jiuwenlong Shijin in person."
Taihu Jiao Buqing nodded and said: "Well, anyway, I have always wanted to meet the hero who is sung from all over the country to see if he is really unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness, and his heroic spirit is overwhelming."
"Since all the brothers have agreed, let's set off for Shandong on a certain date."
The four Taihu brothers are not stingy people.
Since they decided to leave, they simply packed up their weapons and small items, leaving all the heavy items to the people in the surrounding villages.
Four people and a few seven or eight big men drove a fishing boat swaying northward.
On a mountain road in Shandong, Han Bolong walked out with a knife.
A hawker was carrying two baskets and walking on the mountain road towards Lijia Village.
As soon as he passed a corner, he saw a rough man suddenly running out with a knife.
He was so frightened that he quickly dropped the baskets and knelt on the ground.
Crying: "Heroes, please spare the lives of the young ones.
They are poor people.
Do some small things to support the family.
Heroes, please spare the lives of the young ones."
Han Bolong heard this and shouted: "Get out of my way.
I won't do such open things now.
I will follow Shi Haohan to fight against the Liao Kingdom."
After kicking the hawker away, Han Bolong strode towards Juye City.
As countless people responded to Shi Jin's appeal, they all rushed to Dengzhou, preparing to follow him to conquer the Liao Kingdom.
Shi Jin did not stay in Dengzhou.
He asked Lin Chong and others to receive the people who came to seek refuge.
However, he had already led his troops across the sea to Muyang City.
At Yangtouwa Water Village, when he heard that the marshal was coming, Zhang Shun sent someone by boat to pick him up early.
When Shi Jin took Zhu Wu and others off the boat, Zhang Shun quickly stepped forward and bowed and said, "See you, Marshal."
Shi Jin said with a smile: "You two brothers conquered Shuizhai and Muyang City, opening up a safe forward position for our army.
Well done.
I have asked Commander Pei Xuan to give you first-class credit."
And second-class meritorious service” When Zhang Shun heard this, he immediately shouted happily: "Thank you, Marshal!"
Shi Jin nodded and said: " Where are your elder brothers Zhang Heng and Li Jun now?"
Zhang Shun said: "Back to Marshal, those nomadic tribes formed an alliance army to deal with our Liangshan Army.
My eldest brother and General Li are now leading their men to harass them and prepare to give them a surprise."
When Shi Jin heard this, he immediately shouted: "Tell them to come back to me.
It's nonsense to try to capture the whole of Suzhou with only 1,500 troops.
He thought he was Zhuge Liang, so hurry up and send people to call them back."
Zhang Shun was also very angry at his elder brothers Zhang Heng and Li Jun for abandoning him and running to gain merit by themselves.
He immediately shouted: "Yes, Marshal, I will call them back right now."
When Zhang Shun sent someone to notify Zhang Heng and Li Jun.

In the tent, several tribal leaders sat together, drinking milk wine and eating roast mutton, but remained silent.
Seeing that this was not going to continue, Chu Te made a plan and shouted loudly to the Suzhou Jiedushi: "Sir, now that the Song dogs have attacked Suzhou, are you just going to let these Song dogs show off their power in the Liao territory?
If the Lord of Liao knew Yes, can I let you go?"
Suzhou Jiedushi Xiao Tao Su Shan heard this and was a little angry.
It's just the loss of Shepherd City.
No matter what, he has an unshirkable responsibility.
He needed this tribal coalition to defeat the Song army and regain Muyang City.
Xiao Taosushan suppressed his anger and said: "I have sent people to report to the capital, but the journey is far away.
Even if the Holy Emperor sends troops, I am afraid that the army will not be able to get here for a while.
I think we still have to find a way on our own.
The best strategy is to defeat those Song dogs and get through the difficulties."
Chu Te Zhuotu frowned when he heard this and asked: "How many soldiers and horses can you mobilize now?"
Xiao Taosushan said helplessly: "Muyang City has been lost, and now I only have 500 guards in my hands."
The Liao Kingdom implemented "one country, two systems".
In important places such as the Yanyun area and Shangjing, Huaxia implemented the state and county system management, but other places implemented the tribal management system.
The management of these places was entrusted to tribal leaders.
As long as the tribes paid tribute on time and in quantity every year, and at the same time, as long as the Liao Lord ordered, these tribes must send tribal warriors to fight together.
At the same time, according to its military functions, the Liao army included two systems: the imperial palace guard army and the local garrison army.
The Liao army consisted of 30,000 elite Pishi troops and 20,000 Shushan troops, as well as 18,000 Han troops.
These were the imperial palace guards and were stationed in Shangjing and Xijing.
As for Liaoning and Tokyo, there were nearly 50,000 Bohai soldiers stationed in Shenzhou.
However, these 50,000 troops were to guard against Goryeo and also to suppress the rebellion of the original Bohai people, so they could not be mobilized easily.
Other places in Liaoning and Tokyo are guarded by local garrison troops, and most of these local garrison troops are tribal armies.
In the huge Suzhou, there were only a thousand soldiers and horses who truly obeyed the imperial court's orders.
Moreover, among these thousand soldiers and horses, nearly 500 guards are stationed in Muyang City on weekdays.
Now that Muyang City has been captured, the guards have also been captured.
Suzhou commander Xiao Tao and Su Shan only had 500 men left.
Five hundred men are not as many as the warriors of his own tribe.
Chu Te Zhuotu knew that there was no hope for the Suzhou officers and soldiers.
He looked around and said: "Everyone, the Song dog has bullied us now.
If we don't think about how to eradicate such a dog thief, we will all The losses will be heavy, and what’s even more abominable is that if they still linger in the spring, we won’t be able to graze at all, and we won’t be able to survive.”
After the Suzhou tribes agreed on their strategies, they sent out troops to form an alliance to jointly deal with the Song dogs.
Zhang Heng listened to the reports from spies and spies and learned that several tribes in Suzhou had formed a tribal alliance army of 1,700 people.
He cursed in a low voice: "You really think that I can only be beaten and can't fight back.
How dare you shout so loudly that you want to eradicate us?
If I don't teach you a lesson, we really are easy to bully."
Zhang Heng and Li Jun were hiding in a mountain forest and were planning to deal with the tribal alliance army.
Riding on horses, the messengers found Zhang Heng and Li Jun according to the Liangshan Army's unique signaling method.
In a mountain forest, Zhang Heng and Li Jun were eating cold steamed buns when they heard a messenger coming.
Zhang Heng quickly took the letter from the messenger soldier and opened it to take a look.
After reading it, Zhang Heng silently handed the letter to Li Jun.
Li Jun saw that Zhang Heng's face looked a little bad, so he quickly took it and browsed it quickly.
After Li Jun saw it, his expression changed.
He raised his head and said to Zhang Heng: "General Zhang, now we are ready, we are just waiting for the fish to take the bait.
We must not give up so easily."

Zhang Heng patted his frozen face in distress and shouted: "I know, but the marshal has ordered us to go back.
If we don't go back, we will be disobeying the military order.
You don't know the seriousness of this crime, right?"
When Li Jun heard this, he hesitated and shouted: "As the saying goes, it is rare to have a military order abroad.
Now is a rare opportunity.
Once you miss it, it will be difficult to find such an opportunity again.
We will proceed according to the original plan.
If the marshal is blamed, I, Li Jun, will bear the responsibility alone."
Zhang Heng heard a loud shout: "What are you talking about?
I, Zhang Heng, am a coward and the one who puts the blame on others.
I am the leader of this march.
Even if I have to bear the responsibility, I, Zhang Heng, will bear it." " Li Jun hurriedly said: "This time it is my initiative, and it should be up to me."
Zhang Heng shouted: "Okay, let's proceed according to the original plan.
If the marshal is blamed, I, Zhang Heng, will bear the responsibility."
Zhang Heng wrote a letter and asked the messenger to go back and report to the general immediately.
In the letter, Zhang Heng elaborated on the reasons, plans, and possible impacts of this battle.
The messenger rushed back to Muyang City overnight.
Shi Jin took the letter from Zhang Heng and others and read it.
Shi Jin angrily threw the letter to the ground.
Damn you two bastards.
As soon as the tail is released, it will rise to the sky.
Now I don't even obey my commander's orders.
If you see these two bastards, you must be severely punished.
Otherwise, who would dare to disobey my command in the future?
