Chapter 32: The Dragon King scolded Baitiao in shame and anger
It was not until later that Wang Zheng learned about the reason why Jiang Da worshipped Baili, which was also the rule on the Tao.
Just like the "Baishan Bell", it is a bell hung by a horse gang merchant passing by the woods. The bell sounds echoing in the mountains. When a friend on the road heard this "Baishan Bell", he knew that this group of people had some friendship with the people in the green forest.
Even if you are really busy and want to get some money for buying a road, you can discuss it. If everyone breaks their faces, they will follow the rules on the road. Of course, if anyone dares to break the rules, they will be attacked by friends from all over the mountains.
There are many rules among the bandits, not to mention the water bandits everywhere. Some water bandits offer white carp to show their loyalty and no regrets.
People like Jiang Da are already talking little, and this sentence is the most he has said. Seeing Jiang Da joining the army with white li, Cui Mei and others were all happy for Jiang Da to follow such a unique military general.
However, no matter how happy you are, some things gradually surfaced.
Huang Yang proposed that Jiang Da Shen sneaked into the clan without anyone noticing. If Gao Liang hadn't happened to patrol a few recruits and discovered Jiang Da, he would have been afraid that this would not be the result today.
Since Jiang Da can touch it, it means that other water thieves can do it too, which makes Wang Zheng feel creepy while happy.
Wang Zheng knew very well that he had beaten the water bandit's nest, and Langli Jiao would definitely run back to find someone to seek revenge. The Dragon King of Helong would not be willing to give up the water village that he had been running for many years. He would definitely not care about anything and give up Ninghaizhou City and come back to grab the water village.
This will be a tough battle. At the beginning, Wang Zheng was determined to defend the village and wanted to take advantage of the water village's advantage of being easy to defend but difficult to attack. However, the arrival of Jiang Da seemed to be God admonishing Wang Zheng, that doing so was not advisable!
That night, Wang Zheng had a long chat with Jiang, but he was already secretly shocked when he heard his words.
Judging from the river bank, there seems to be only three levels of the dock, Shuimen, and Shuizhai. But in fact, this is not the case. The soldiers of Wendeng Camp are used to staying on land and do not know the name of the water.
Jiang Da told Wang Zheng that the Wuwen River under the water village is well-connected, and for water bandits who are familiar with water, it is not difficult to accidentally enter the village.
Seeing that Jiang Da’s bowl had finished drinking the broth, Wang Zheng got up and filled it with it. He deliberately added some more meat, and smiled and said that he wanted Jiang Da to replenish his body.
Looking at Wang Zheng intently, a touch of emotion flashed through Jiang Da's turbid eyes, and he nodded vigorously.
After eating for a while, Wang Zheng asked, "Jiangda, do you know how many channels are inside and outside this water village?"
Hearing this, Jiang Da immediately put down the bowl, stood up and fisted and said, "Everyone knows."
Hearing Jiang Da’s decisive answer, Wang Zheng smiled and suddenly looked confident, which made others not understand why.
......
In the next few days, Wang Zheng mobilized more than 300 rescued people and more than 200 new recruits from Wendeng camp, and asked Jiang Da and other surrendered water bandits to make meritorious contributions to find those waterways that could be accessed.
I didn't know if I didn't look for it, but even Dong Youyin and others were shocked.
However, Wang Zheng, as the sentry officer, was thinking that although this water village had many waterways, most of them could only pass by one or two water thieves with particularly good water properties.
Wang Zheng knew very well that if the Dragon King of the River would definitely not take the narrow road on the river bank if he attacked for a strong force. They were water bandits, so their first choice was to attack from the water road.
Wang Zheng, led by Jiang Da and others, already understood all the waterways in the water village and was full of confidence and could fight the water bandits here.
One day at the end of May of the ninth year of Chongzhen, Wang Zheng summoned Huang Yang, Dong Youyin, Deng Heizi, and sixteen team officials, including Gao Liang. Jiang Da was also called together. They decided to defend the village with a plan.
The waterways of Wuwen River Water Village are well connected, and the new recruits in Wendeng Camp are at a disadvantage in their own strength, and it is a taboo for military strategists to divide their troops and defend them. Therefore, when the Dragon King of He was still in the future, he mobilized the people and new recruits to block most of the waterways. However, Wang Zheng did not block all the gaps, but left two on the east and west sides.
Although Heizi, Gao Liang and others didn't understand, they still did as they did.
After half a month of preparation, this water village has become truly solid, leaving only the gaps on both sides and a village gate that allow water bandits to attack.
......
On a mountain outside Ninghaizhou City, under a big broken flag, the white stripes in a white dress were gathering here with their elite water bandits.
Suddenly, a sound of footsteps came, and the Water Dragon King brought dozens of water bandits from Wuwenhe Water Village to angrily. Before the people arrived, the roar came first.
"The white sticks in the waves! Did you do it on purpose? I won't explain it clearly to me today, so don't even think about asking me to help you hit Ninghaizhou City!"
Baitiao was so happy that he could take down Ninghaizhou City in one fell swoop. Although Wendeng Camp came to help, the number of people was too small, which could not pose any threat to his army. Suddenly, he heard the scolding of the Dragon King of He and was a little unresponsive.
Compared to the Dragon King of the River with a tiger's back and bear's waist, the white strips in the waves look a little thin, with an eagle hook nose hanging on his face, his eyes shining brightly, and he was wondering what conspiracy was being planned in his heart.
After a while of shock, Langli Baitiao smiled dryly: "It turns out to be Brother Dragon King. We have agreed that Wuwen River is responsible for attacking the South Gate, and I, Jinshui River, are responsible for attacking..."
Before he could finish his words, the Dragon King of He took a few steps forward again, stared at the white strips in the waves, and interrupted him.
"Don't talk to me about siege. Have you known that the officers and soldiers would attack Wuwenhe Water Village?"
Hearing this, Baitiao of Wave didn't believe it very much, and said with a smile.
"The Dragon King was joking. A few years ago, Wuwenhe defeated the official army. The reputation of the Dragon King and Langlijiao of Youhe was passed on to the banks of my Jinshui River. How could any officers and soldiers dare to attack?"
"fart!"
The Dragon King of Helong was even more angry and shouted: "Don't be slutty with me, not only did the officers and soldiers go, but the water camp was taken away by the officers and soldiers half a month ago."
Hearing this, Langli Baitiao seemed a little shocked. When he saw Langli Jiao standing next to the Dragon King, he was a little convinced, and the smile on his face suddenly froze.
He couldn't figure out who was the team of officers and soldiers who dared to risk their brilliance to attack Wuwen River at such a time?
If the officers and soldiers in the late Ming Dynasty heard that the water bandits were attacking Ninghaizhou City, they would almost come to Ninghaizhou City for reinforcements, and no one would go to the nearest to attack the water bandits' nests. No wonder Baitiao was shocked.
Seeing the white sticks in the waves, the Dragon King of He snorted coldly but did not buy them, saying, "The White sticks in the waves, this is not my Dragon King of He ignorant! Now that the dog officers and soldiers have seized the retreat, the brothers are already panic and anxious, and they all want to take back the village, so they say goodbye!"
After saying that, the Dragon King of He clasped his fists and took Langlijiao and others to leave without looking back.
Seeing this, a pirate standing beside Baitiao on the side of Langli Baitiao showed a vicious look and asked in a low voice.
"King?"
Clenched his fists, Langli Baitiao shook his head and said, "No need, the two brothers He Dragon King and Langli Jiao seemed to be blinded by gold and silver, which made the women tie their legs. The king thought that they were naked heroes. Now it seems that they are all inferior to pigs and dogs!"
The water bandit nodded after just now when he asked, looking at the urgent backs of the Dragon King of He and Langlijiao and others, and said coldly: "What the king said is that this kind of guy is useless to follow our brothers, so let them go."
......
At this moment, in Ninghaizhou City, Wu Weizhong was standing with several military generals including Liu, along with a group of civil servants such as the magistrate Dong Chengping and others. Looking at the densely packed thieves under the city, a feeling of despair arose.
Earlier, Dong Chengping heard that Wendeng Camp came to help and went out of the city to greet him happily, but later he learned that Wu Weizhong had only brought about about 600 reinforcements, so he pulled his face down.
However, Wu Weizhong was a confidant of Yang Wenyue of Futai. Dong Chengping could not express his dissatisfaction too clearly. He just cried and repeatedly said that the thief was powerful and Ninghaizhou City could not be defended.
Suddenly, the army of water bandits started to move. The prefect Dong Chengping screamed in surprise, thinking that the water bandits were about to attack the city, so scared that they were about to run down the city.
