On the poor mountain, Tian Guofeng was a little worried.

Although everything was developing smoothly according to Xu Xiang's prediction, when he saw Zhu Youzhen and Cao Bin led three thousand troops to surround him on the mountain, he still couldn't help but feel frightened.

My family knows their own affairs.

If Zhu Youzhen tried his best to attack, he knew he could not stand it.

The people who were above a thousand people on the mountain were only a hundred and fifteen. These people were elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty’s inner guards, but the problem was that they could not use the equipment of the inner guards. They could only enter Tai'an City with some messy weapons in their hands, and finally allowed them to grab a lot of standard weapons from the enemy, but compared to the weapons commonly used by the Tang Dynasty’s inner guards, it was almost the same as the garbage.

If the weapons are not good, they will at least have only a normal cost of seven or eight.

Even though the other Taishan bandits have been training for a long time, they are not on the same level as those soldiers under Zhu Youzhen and Cao Bin who have been experienced in battle formations.

Xu Xiang sat firmly on the Diaoyutai.

Chen Changfu was ready to beat his hands.

Tian Guofeng was frightened.

At the foot of the mountain, Zhu Youzhen and Cao Bin were planning how to pull Wu Kejin's wealth into their arms.

Zhu Youzhen did not launch an attack, which finally made Tian Guofeng feel more at ease. Until Wu Kejin heard the news, he finally breathed a long sigh.

Until now, everything is still within Xu Xiang's plan.

"Mr. Gongsun is indeed a sage!" Xu Xiang, who seemed to be in a state of distortion on the top of the mountain, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Since the Inner Guard discovered that the huge smuggling team from the Central Plains was actually affiliated with Zhu Youzhen, Gongsun Changming analyzed based on all aspects of information that Zhu Youzhen, who seemed to be a useless man, was not willing to leave the stage of history. And behind him, there must be a giant.

Of course, this person cannot be Zhu Wen.

If you want these huge smuggled materials to operate quietly in the pseudo-liang territory, who else has the ability besides Jing Xiang?

This means that what Jingxiang really supports is Zhu Youzhen, who seems to be completely powerless.

Zhu Youzhen never dreamed that Hao Ren, the leader of the underground gang in Chang'an, whom he relied most on the network, was actually a chess piece that Li Ze buried before he withdrew from Chang'an. And those smuggled items, under the rule of Li Ze in the north, were the inner guards who really held all this.

As for why Jingxiang supported the most vulnerable Zhu Youzhen, it was even simpler in Gongsun Changming's opinion. Zhu Wen did not quickly become emperor according to Jingxiang's plan, and turned himself into the target of public criticism, which made the pseudo-liang now in a difficult situation, made Jingxiang completely disappointed with Zhu Wen, and also made Jingxiang himself reflect on what kind of leader he needed to show his ambitions.

Zhu Youzhen is undoubtedly the best choice.

A prince who received his help when he was most lonely and helpless will be able to successfully reach the top, and it will be easier for Jing Xiang to control it and will allow Jing Xiang to implement his policies calmly.

Zhu Wen, after all, is still a military leader.

And it's a military leader with a lot of problems.

He seemed to be extremely respectful to Jingxiang and obeyed his words, but whenever he reached a critical moment, he always lost his chains and could not withstand great temptation. Let's see how Li Ze from Wuyi did it? If he really wanted to be emperor, Li Ze's conditions were much better than Zhu Wen. But Li Ze could bear it and offered himself a clay bodhisattva like Emperor Li Tang on his head, and tried every means to squeeze the last effect of this clay bodhisattva to the extreme.

Xu Xiang and Chen Changfu were sent out during that period.

Zhu Youzhen needs to strengthen his strength, and in other directions, he cannot compete with his two brothers, so Pinglu is his only direction.

Now, the curtain has been opened.

Xu Xiang looked at the Tai'an army at the foot of the mountain and was preparing to attack the whole army with a smile.

Wu Kejin is too rich. In this world, being too rich is a sin. As the prince's honor, Zhu Youzhen can only invest in his own power whenever he gets a penny. His life is always tight. How can he not seize such a big financial boss who is sent to him?

Zhu Youzhen needs his own manpower, and when he comes to Pinglu, he will only work hard for this matter. If he wants to rebuild his own strength, he needs endless money.

As for whether Zhu Youzhen can fall in love with his group of people, it needs this battle and show his own might. Zhu Youzhen must be eager to seek talent now. Like their group of Taishan bandits, they are innocent and have no one behind them. Now they are facing desperate situations, and they are the good targets he recruits.

Tian Guofeng and himself are serious Tai'an. Even Chen Changfu, who is named Chen Fu, the Neiwei has clearly arranged his resume. Even if Zhu Youzhen sends people to Chenjia Village to check in the future, there will be no mistakes.

"Chen Fu!" Xu Xiang looked at Chen Changfu who was wiping the bow and arrow, and smiled and said, "Give them a warning!"

"I understand!" Chen Changfu grinned, and his mouth full of yellow teeth made Xu Xiang feel disgusted for a while.

Xu Xiang is a scholar, so he can naturally maintain a refreshing image, but Chen Changfu is a bandit who can recognize a few words. In order to make his originally white teeth look like this, for a whole year, this guy not only did not brush his teeth, but also used paper to roll the leaves and sucked them wildly, and finally successfully changed his image.

Under normal circumstances, Xu Xiang would not speak with Chen Changfu within one foot.

Chen Changfu led 150 inner guards to the front. Behind them were the two hundred bandits who came out first by Tian Guofengjing. In Xu Xiang's words, Tai'an soldiers are now fighting against the power of the people, and the first wave of attacks must be the most hardworking, so they have to hit them head-on with a storm and blow them in an instant.

One hundred and fifty crossbows were ready. For the inner guards who used to use crossbows, it was really a pleasure to finally use the weapons they were used to. Although the crossbows in their hands were much worse than the equipment of the inner guards, they were better than not.

Crossbows, horizontal swords, and hand shields, after entering Tai'an Mansion, they can take them out openly because this is their capture in the city.

Accompanied by a wave of war drums, the army at the foot of the mountain was finally completed. As Xu Xiang expected, more than 2,000 Tai'an soldiers were dispatched in full swing and rushed towards the poor mountain densely.

The mountains are not too poor, and it is not easy to spread the troops on three sides. Only one side is gentle slope to spread the troops. More than 2,000 Tai'an soldiers were divided into three waves, about a hundred steps apart, and rushed upwards shouting. Judging from their appearance, they seemed to want to eat their opponents in one breath.

Behind them, Zhu Youzhen and Cao Bin were in charge, so they naturally didn't have to leave any reserve team.

Five hundred steps, three hundred steps, one hundred steps, the archers of Tai'an soldiers raised the bows and arrows in their hands. With the buzzing sound, the feather arrows flew overwhelmed the sky above the poor mountain.

Seeing this, Xu Xiang immediately retracted into a crack in a stone that he had found before and pushed a wooden board in front of him. Although he was not a scholar without any power, he could not help in such an occasion.

All the Taishan bandits hid quietly in blind spots that could not be covered by simple wooden shields or bows. Although many people were afraid, they could still remain calm under the strict training over the past year.

At the foot of the mountain, Zhu Youzhen and Cao Bin looked at each other in a little.

"This bandit is very unusual!" Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but say.

Cao Bin nodded, squinted his eyes and looked at the bandits on the mountain. There were only eighty steps left, but the poor mountain was still quiet and the other party did not fight back at all. He knew that these bandits did not have long-range weapons in their hands, but they could still remain calm under such a blow. This was the correct reaction that only an extremely experienced army could make.

The Tai'an soldiers can shoot three arrows in the end.

Cao Bin thought about it in his heart.

After three arrows, their arms were sore and soft, and they needed a certain amount of time to buffer, and then it would be the time for the opponent to fight back.

Sure enough, the facts were as expected. After three arrows, the rain of arrows slowed down, and Tai'an soldiers shouted and rushed towards the Taishan bandits who were thirty steps away.

One hundred and fifty inner guards lying on the ground half-kneeled up at the same time, with crossbow arrows in their hands flat. Accompanied by the sound of crossbow arrows breaking through the air, the people in the front row of Tai'an soldiers who were attacking fell to the ground.

Within thirty steps, the destructive power of the crossbow arrow is amazing.

With a volley, at least a hundred soldiers and horses fell down in Tai'an.

Cao Bin couldn't help but shake his head.

No matter how confident I feel, shouldn't I put the shield soldiers in front? Now, the shield-holding soldiers fell behind me because they couldn't escape the other soldiers.

After a round of crossbow arrows, one hundred and fifty inner guards shouted, threw away the crossbow bow in their hands, holding a shield in one hand and a horizontal knife in the other, and killed them all. At this time, the Tai'an soldiers and horses, who were hit hard, were actually a little panicked.

Chen Changfu stood up and led his bow. The first arrow shot down a Tai'an officer standing under the banner and shouted loudly. The second arrow broke the flagpole of the banner, and the third arrow, and another officer fell under his arrow.

One hundred and fifty inner guards crossed the distance of thirty steps, rushed from top to bottom, and killed fiercely. Chen Changfu was not slow, and arrow after arrow. Every arrow went down, an officer fell to the ground.

Although Chen Changfu's archery skills are not as magical as his elder brother Chen Changping, his level is still a magical archer.

"Good arrow technique!" Zhu Youzhen praised her origin at the foot of the mountain.

"Good army!" Cao Bin paid more attention to the 150 bandits.

It's just a simple block or a slash, but the indomitable momentum before the blocking is a slash that makes people seize the momentum.

Just ten steps forward, the Tai'an troops at the front collapsed, turned around and fled down the mountain. They squeezed together with the people who attacked the second wave of the attacks behind.

"Get back!" Chen Changfu shouted loudly while shaking his slightly sore right arm.
Chapter completed!
