Lin Chong gathered his minions, buried Deng Long, and then took a look at the family background of Erlong Mountain. In fact, Erlong Mountain is really in poverty, with silver and gold in stocks of about tens of thousands of taels and more than 100,000 kilograms of grain. More than 1,500 minions, including more than 1,000 young and strong, and more than 500 others are family members.

Lin Chong led 500 cavalry and 1,000 construction troops to take over Erlong Mountain. More than 1,500 people from Erlong Mountain were incorporated into Taohua Mountain. What made these minions pleased was that the treatment of Taohua Mountain was much better than Erlong Mountain. Although Erlong Mountain was not poor, Deng Long was reluctant to spend money at all.

Generally speaking, the minions eat two meals a day, eating braised vegetables. Only by fighting with big farmers and robbing the caravans can they improve their lives slightly. Now, they are better off, and they don’t have to worry about three meals a day after they belong to Taohua Mountain. Moreover, the head of the company has promised that they don’t have to worry about winter clothes, and each person has a set of new clothes.

Lin Chong also launched a vigorous construction in Erlong Mountain. The secret to managing a mountain village is to build it. There are three passes at the foot of Erlong Mountain. Although it is dangerous, it is not impossible to attack. Lin Chong, who was born in the army, still has great experience in the construction of common fortifications. The walls, traps, and arrow towers are all the most basic, as well as cavalry camps, horse stables, and construction soldiers' camp dormitories. Unlike the simple rooms in Erlong Mountain, the newly built dormitories are all equipped with fireplaces and kangs.

Although there is one more mountain, the battle in Taohua Mountain has not improved much. The newly surrendered minions have not been stable in their morale and cannot fight. Moreover, they are divided into two places, which is not concentrated enough and somewhat scattered. It is easy to find whether it is Taohua Mountain or Erlong Mountain, the terrain is steep and easy to defend but difficult to attack.

In the Taohua Mountain Juyi Hall, Sun An was worried, and said, "Zhou Tong, you are familiar with the land, where are there any good players nearby to recruit. As the saying goes, it is easy to get a general but hard to find. We have to recruit more heroes."

Zhou Tong shook his head and said, "This is not easy. Like the two monks of Li who were recruited by Qingfeng Mountain, Wang Dao Ren and others were all picking flowers, stealing willows, burning and killing them. We definitely can't want such people in our mountain. At least we have to have some bottom line."

Sun An said: "Catch Brother Cao Zheng, I have something to arrange for him."

Soon someone called Cao Zheng, and Sun An said, "Cao Zheng, the head of Lin Er, guarding Erlong Mountain alone is a bit thin. You need to recruit more heroes. Let's put your things in your hands, move around nearby, pay attention to avoiding the official army, and recruit more good players."

Cao Zheng said: "Brother, don't worry, I will go down the mountain tonight. I will definitely find more experts when I openly investigate and secretly."

Cao Zheng went down the mountain to find some good players to strengthen his strength. At this time, the grassland was no longer as hot as summer and began to become a little cooler.

Duan Jingzhu and Yang Lin's horse gang staff and horses increased a lot, and they became a caravan with more than 150 people and a large horse gang with 400 mules. In the Liao Kingdom, it also belonged to a medium-sized horse gang.

Duan Jing lived on the coast of Tianjin and transported more than 400 horses of tea, herbs and other goods to the Chifeng grassland.

Yang Lin said: "Brother Duan, why are you so far away from here and heading westward and then to the grassland?"

Duan Jingzhu said, "I don't want to take a detour. The problem is that there is a dangerous area in front of me called Yinmachuan. The terrain of Yinmachuan is strange. There are mountains on both sides and a road in the middle. Such a dangerous place was occupied by a group of bandits. After all, Brother Wu Song is not easy to send troops to wipe out the Daliao Kingdom, so he had to take a detour."

Yang Lin said: "Can you know what the name of this Yinmachuan boss?"

"Of course I know that these three people are all from Song. The first one is a Congmu, named Tiewei Mu Pei Xuan, a literati, the second leader is called Huoyan Suo Ni Deng Fei, and the third leader is called Meng Kang. These three people can live a life by occupying Yinmachuan. Although he has never provoked our caravan, it is better to bypass it." Duan Jingzhu said.

Yang Lin was overjoyed when he heard this and said, "Then Deng Fei is my good friend, so we can pass by from now on."

Duan Jingzhu said: "Is the relationship reliable?"

Yang Lin said: "It's so reliable. My Deng Fei is a kid. This boy's eyes are red and he is known as the Fire Eyes."

"It's OK, then let's go with you, let's go and drink with Machuan."

More than 100 people from the Magang were set off in a mighty manner, and stopped before reaching the boundary of Yinmachuan. Yang Lin said: "In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, I will take a few people to Tantan."

Yang Lin took a few followers and rode forward on horseback. Not long after, he met the Yinmachuan Jiedao. Dozens of people stopped Yang Lin and others. The team was similar to the traditional copycat. They were all dressed in rags, their weapons were not neat, and they didn't think they had been here for a wealth of time.

"Stop, hand over all the money and horses, and let you go." Yinmachuan's minion shouted.

Yang Lin clasped his fists and said, "All of them are brothers in the world. In the underworld, they are called Yang Lin and Guishan Second Head of the Family. Please inform me."

The minion said: "No one can trust you if you speak empty words."

Yang Lin took out a jade artifact with him and handed it to the minion, saying, "This was what Deng Fei gave me back then. I think Brother Deng Fei will not forget me after leaving for a few years."

"Okay, wait a moment. You are here." After the minion said that, he went up the mountain to report. In a moment, a horse flew over. The horse was no one else. The man was very brave and brave. He came close to him with a spear and flew away, ran a few steps and shouted: "The one who came was Brother Yang Lin."

Yang Lin said: "It's me, I didn't forget me."

Deng Fei said: "How is it possible? We two are kids. Let's go up the mountain with me, let's drink and eat meat."

Yang Lin said: "Just recognize me as a brother. I am now in the caravan where Duan Jing lives, which is actually the business of Tongda Cart Train in Dongping Prefecture. Today, there are exactly 400 mule goods to be transported to the grassland, hoping to use the road to drink Machuan."

Deng Fei said: "What am I doing? I have heard that Duan Jingzhu’s caravan of brothers, please come over and let me go. I will prepare a banquet to entertain you and Brother Duan."

Deng Fei is still a person who values ​​friendship and immediately kills pigs and sheep.

Let’s talk about Deng Fei’s mistake in returning to the mountain. Pei Xuan, who was the leader, said: “The story of Wu Song in Qinghe County has been worn out, and it has been known to all households to help the people and to eliminate the harm of tigers. Although our Yinmachuan has a dangerous terrain and good income, it has never been a place to stay for a long time. It is a good way to go back to the Song Dynasty. Since you know Yang Lin, why not let him recommend it.”

Deng Fei said: "It's still thoughtful that the boss thought about it. This place is indeed not a place to stay for a long time. Later, Duan Jingzhu and Yang Lin brothers came to me to ask about the situation."
