Chapter 240 Salt Thief

Luo Cheng did not directly respond to this matter at the banquet, but also expressed that he would consider it and discuss it with the lieutenants.

When we returned to the military camp, the brothers in the camp were eating meat and drinking, all of which were sent by Lujiao Pass.

The fourth brother blushed and said proudly, "I didn't expect that the names of our Luo family's four tigers have been spread to the north bank of the Yellow River."

Luo Cheng shook his head and said, "Those are just flattery, do you really take it seriously?"

The fourth brother didn't care about these things, he was like a scoundrel. "I didn't say the name of the four tigers of the Luo family. It was mentioned by others himself. It was the fact that the famous both sides of the Yellow River was the truth."

The third brother was very clear-headed. Although he raised the cup several times at the banquet just now, he just dripped his lips into the cup every time. "This Liu Zhen will be so kind to show that this group of uncles is very powerful. We are just passing by here, so there is no need to make trouble at all."

The fourth brother fell in love with those benefits, "There are many benefits. One move will take a hundred taels of gold. This Liu Zhen will be generous. If we help him suppress the bandits and destroy the bandits, all the income from the bandits will be ours, he will give us additional money and grain. I think this transaction can be done. We are experts in suppressing bandits and combating bandits, and this is just a matter of going on the way. Isn't it good to earn him a fortune? It's a long way to Zhuo County and spend a lot of money on the road. When we get there, we will definitely use a lot of money."

Siye snorted.

The fourth brother was still blushing and said with his neck, "Why don't you want the benefits of free picking up? We had a long journey to Onozawa to suppress the bandits. Now the bandits in Douziku just happened to be on our way. It's a pity that they didn't make a vote. There is no way to eat the fat meat that comes to your mouth. Xiaowu, let's do it."

Luo Cheng didn't respond immediately.

When he returned to the camp tent, he summoned all the officers above the brigade commander to discuss.

Young people like Du Fuwei and Fu Gongyou, when they heard that there were bandits to suppress, they were all like chicken blood, screaming and trying to do something.

Zhao Gui, Jia Runpu and others also said they could do it.

"Captain Qi, Captain Li, what do you think?" Luo Cheng asked Fatty Qi and the others. Although Siye and Cunxiao are now also Captains, they are relatively qualified and experienced.

The fat man sat there, just like Zun Maitreya Buddha. He stroked his big belly, "Article, it's a good thing to just suppress a few bandits. Liu Zhenjiang from Lujiao Pass is also a generous and generous person, so it's nothing to help him. Anyway, we still have enough time. Just like what the Cunxiao brother said, it's okay to have a single vote."

Li Rugui has always said less, so he nodded, as if he had agreed with Qi Pang's words.

"With that being said, we went north under the order of the Ministry of War and ordered six hundred brothers. If we lose one or two at that time, there will be not enough."

The third brother shouted, "Why will you lose your brother when you fight a few thieves? You are too worried. Even if you hurt a few brothers, it's not very close to Zhangqiu. Isn't it enough to make up a few more from home right away?"

Everyone thought that the uncle thief in Pingdouzi's trap was just a good thing, but Luo Cheng was not so frivolous. He just suppressed the bandits in Changbai Mountain and Onozawa, so where did the capital crazy come from?

"The so-called "knowing your enemy" will lead to victory in a hundred battles. Zhao Lushuai, if you send the scouts, brigade light cavalry, I want to know the detailed information about the uncle and Liu Badao. The more detailed the better, the better. It is best to know where his nest is and how many people there are under his command."

Zhao Gui nodded, "Leave it to us. Not only will I find out these for you, I will also find out how many concubines Liu Badao has, whether they are fat or thin."

"If you can find out which woman's room he sleeps in every day, you will be considered your ability." Luo Cheng cursed with a smile.

On that day, Zhao Gui took his brothers out.

Liu Zhen will specially send some subordinates to serve as guides.

He sent a lot of rice, flour, meat and vegetables, and asked in a hurry how long Luo Cheng could send troops. Luo Cheng just smiled and said that he had not made a decision yet and that everyone had not agreed on his opinions, so he had to discuss and discuss it again. He also said that he would stay here for a few days, whether it was to take on the job or not, he would definitely tell Liu Zhenjiang at that time.

Faced with Luo Cheng like this, Liu Zhenjiang was also a little helpless.

Waited for three days.

Zhao Gui brought more than a dozen riders back. As soon as he came back, he asked someone to cook mutton soup cakes. After the cooking, they ate two large bowls of them.

"I have been wandering inside for a few days, but I haven't had any fire. I eat some cold cakes every day and my stomach is frozen." Zhao Gui was full and wiped his mouth with satisfaction.

“How is the situation?”

"It's a bit surprising. Liu Badao is indeed a lot of people. It's a bragging to say that he has tens of thousands of people. However, in the Douzi pit, at least more than 3,000 people gathered, including about 800 of them, and they are strong bandits. They all have horses, and they all have swords and have a strong idea."

I heard that there were eight hundred bandits to fight, Luo Chengru knew that this group of people was not simple, and that these eight hundred actually had horses and weapons, so it was even more unsimple.

Experience told him that if he wanted to chew this group of people, it would be impossible for him to have no casualties.

"However, this group of thieves are very fat. These guys have nowhere to rob nearby counties recently. They have accumulated a lot of money and grain, and even robbed a lot of women. If they are fought, the deal will definitely be made." Zhao Gui was obsessed with it.

Luo Cheng was considering risks.

As the main general, you must consider all aspects.

“What is the terrain of Douzipike?”

"It's just a big salt zodiac. The Liu Badao family used to be a powerful man who sold salt, so they are very familiar with it. Now he gathers thousands of people and has completely taken over the salt making transactions of Douzigang. So this guy makes a fortune every day. He is very rich, so he is absolutely right to beat him."

Douzigang is wider than Oyezawa, and the terrain here is more complex. It is a huge salt lake, bordering the Yellow River in the south and the sea in the east. It is not far from the Grand Canal. It is still at the intersection of the plains, Bohai Sea and Hejian counties. It can be said to be a golden triangle connecting the three counties and not easy to manage the three counties.

No matter which county comes to suppress the enemy, they can hide on the other two sides. It is difficult for the government troops to encircle the enemy across counties, especially the Douzigang area is too large, and the terrain of the salt lake is extremely complex, and sometimes outsiders can hardly find even the road.

According to Zhao Gui, Liu Badao used to be a local tyrant who made salt in Yanzeli. If he was compiled by the government for thieves, he would simply hide in Douzigang and control all the salt making shops that were large and small in the past. Now it is Douzigang's salt making monopoly, saying that they are thieves, but in fact they are making salt and selling salt to make a lot of money.
