Chapter 17 Forming Arms
Li Jiyu's incident disrupted Gao Huan's plan to move out of the fort.
At this time, he had returned to the room, sat on the kang and discussed with Li Wu about the issue of forming a village guard team.
"Young Master!" Li Pingyuan's voice came from outside the house.
Gao Huan heard the sound and said, "Come in!"
Li Pingyuan pushed the door open, closed the door, turned around and reported: "The black tiger left the village, met Li Jiyu at the west end of the village, and then went to Lizhuang."
Gao Huan said in a deep voice: "Li Jiyu is here too?"
"I heard Heihu calling him the boss." Li Ping said in a long time.
Li Wu took over the conversation, "Are they all gone?"
"I left three local thieves to monitor us outside the village!" Li Ping said in a long time.
Gao Huan touched his beardless jaw, "As I expected, Li Jiyu wanted to blackmail all the big families around him. This would be good, and it would be beneficial for us to unite the big families in Dengfeng. When he comes to get the food, he can summon people and destroy this guy."
Li Wudao: "Young Master, then Li Jiyu is definitely not weak in his ability to conquer Tangzhuang and Lizhuang. The county's Gunners and various big families are not our own. What if they don't come in time?"
Gao Huan said: "That's why we need to train the village guard team!"
Two years ago, Li Jiyu was only a tenant, and he didn't take up the bride for a long time. Gao Huan probably could not fight many of them, and most of his subordinates were tenants and refugees who had no way out.
The villagers of Gaolaozhuang may not be much worse than those of Li Jiyu if they have a little training.
Li Pingyuan said: "Is the eyeliner left by Li Jiyu outside Zhuangzi?"
Since we need to organize a village protection team, we need training, but there are people outside the village to monitor it. If they are asked to find out and report it to Li Jiyu, the Tuko will know that Gao Laozhuang is not convinced.
Gao Huan had already thought about it, "Call the people into the castle for training! There is a wall blocking it, and the spy can't see it. He is sending people to work outside and pushing those eyeliners away."
After hearing this, Li Wu and his son nodded, thinking that they could give it a try, but they didn't know if it would work in a few days.
Gao Huan then instructed: "Uncle Li, tomorrow you will call those refugees and Yang Shulin into the Tubao, and then select some close men from the village, gather a hundred people to form a village protection team!"
Li Wudao: "Don't worry, young master, I'll knock on the door later and let them enter the fort before dawn."
"Uncle Li is thoughtful." Gao Huan praised and said to Li Pingyuan again: "Brother Li, please help me train them together."
"Young Master can trust me, I am willing to serve you!" Li Pingyuan said.
Gao Huan said: "Now I don't have any money. After passing this level, I will not treat my uncle and brother badly!"
When Li Wu heard this, he looked straight and said, "Where is the words of the young master, this is what we father and son should do."
Gao Huan said seriously: "I know Uncle Li and his elder brother are nice to me, so you must not miss them."
These words made Li Wu feel warm. The old man stood up and got off the kang, "It's getting late, I'll go and notify the tenants first. It's better to fall asleep."
Li Wu has been in Zhuangzi for more than ten years and knows the people in Zhuangzi very well. He will inform him that Gao Huan doesn’t need to choose, so he can be sure that those who come tomorrow morning are all good-looking and honest young and strong.
When the old man went to work for Gao Huan, Gao Huan said to Li Pingyuan again: "Brother Li, please pick two shocking points, go to the mountain to see and touch the situation of Jiulong Village."
Li Pingyuan pondered: "Liu Qi at the end of the village likes fists and feet, and he often hunts, so I'll go and talk to him."
Gao Huan nodded, "Then I'll trouble Brother Li! Tell him that if I can find out the situation in Jiulong Village, I will have a reward!"
"Zhong!" Li Pingyuan responded and said goodbye and left.
There was nothing to say all night. At the fourth update, the sky was dark, so Gao Huan got up early and came to the gate of the fort.
Because of the Tumen, the village strengthened its defense. When Gao Huan came, there were two guards behind the door, and they were dozing against the pillars.
"Open the door!" Gao Huan walked over and said in a deep voice.
The two guards woke up when they heard the sound. When they saw that it was Gao Huan, they said to each other: "So it's the eldest young master!"
Gao Huan nodded slightly, "Open the door, and the village guard team is coming in later!"
The two guards showed hesitation on their faces, but Wang Jiaping left Zhuangzi in the middle of the night and went to the county, so they did not dare to make things difficult for Gao Huan.
The two looked at each other and said, "Open it!"
The fort gate was opened, and the streets in the village were still pitch black, and the villagers were sleeping soundly.
Soon, there was a creaking sound of the door opening everywhere in the village, and the men from the village came out of the house quietly.
These people went all the way to the darkness and came to the gate of the fort. Gao welcomed him and asked Li Wudao: "Are you all here?"
Li Wudao: "Pingyuan went to lead those refugees, and everyone else came."
Gao Huan nodded and said sideways: "Come in first!"
Eighty or ninety men came in one after another and gathered in the front yard.
It was already dawn, so Gao Huan asked them to stand in the yard. Li Pingyuan just led ten refugees to arrive, and there were exactly one hundred people.
Gaolaozhuang is on the west bank of Yingshui River. The village grows in strips, a road, a archway at the entrance of the village, and runs through the threshing grounds and the village.
If Li Jiyu came to the village to transport grain, the vehicle could only follow the main road of the village, which gave Gao Huan the opportunity to ambush.
Gao Huan's plan was very simple, which was to ambush people on the roofs on both sides of the road and block both sides of the road.
Time is urgent now, and Li Jiyu's people will come at any time, so Gao Huan can only train in a targeted manner.
At this time, Gao Huan glanced at many young and strong men, most of them were wearing tattered clothes, holding wooden sticks and forks brought from home in his hands, looking a little cold.
With this image, if you pull it out, you might be suppressed by the government army as bandits. Compared with the fifty guards in Zhuangzi Nei Fort, this appearance is really unpredictable.
However, if you look good, you may not be able to be good at fighting. The key is to rely on skills and spirit.
At this time, Gao Huan said in a deep voice: "I believe everyone has heard about what happened last night. The people who were the local gangster Li Jiyu came to Zhuangzi and asked Zhuangzi to pay them food. You may think that this matter has little to do with you. It is our family who paid the food. But there is only so much food in the village. If Li Jiyu takes it, where will you borrow food later?"
After hearing Gao Huan's words, the villagers talked a lot, and Gao Huan continued, "Yesterday, the refugees outside the village saw them. These refugee brothers escaped from Liuzhuang. The Tumen captured Liuzhuang, killed Liu Yuanwai's family, and robbed all the money and grain. Not only Liu Yuanwai's family, but also thousands of tenants in Liujiazhuang."
The villagers looked at the refugees who were taken in by Gao Huan again, and became nervous inside, and then they felt that they were grasshoppers on the same rope as the Gao family.
"Protect Zhuangzi! Resist the territorial bandits!" Li Pingyuan raised his arms and shouted.
The villagers also expressed their willingness to protect the village.
