Chapter 1

"Stronghold leader, according to the brothers' inquiry, soon, there is a batch of grain to be transported out of the red fire city. This batch of goods is transported by the lone wolf mercenary regiment, with a number of about 50 people. It's better for our brothers to be his vote. There's no need to worry in the second half of the year!"

"Big stronghold leader, in my opinion, the silk and satin in Lengyue city is good. This batch of goods is transported by the wind chasing mercenary regiment, with a number of about 70 people. If we can take it down, we don't have to worry in the past three years!"

Zhang Meng, sitting in the position of the stronghold leader, couldn't help but smoke at the corners of his mouth after listening to the suggestions of the two stronghold leaders.

These two suggestions were put forward by he Wenliang, the third stronghold leader, and Bai Tiansheng, the fourth stronghold leader.

Looking at the confident appearance of he Wenliang and daytime Sheng, Zhang Meng had the idea of rushing up and ripping off their heads to see what was inside.

The two batches of goods they said are really rich in oil and water. If they can be taken, shanhan will really have no worries in a year or two.

But.

There are only more than 100 people in the stronghold. With the addition of five stronghold leaders, there are only 178 people who can fight.

What can these dozen people do?

Those two batches of goods dare to ship blatantly. It is clear that they are not afraid of being robbed.

Although it was the first time Zhang Meng attended the Shanzhai meeting, after listening to their suggestions, he understood that the third stronghold leader and the fourth stronghold leader are two straw bags. Judging from their physique, it must be no problem to rush into battle, but he should give advice! ha-ha! Who listens! Who's finished!

Since the third stronghold leader and the fourth stronghold leader are unreliable, Zhang Meng turned to look at the second stronghold leader Chen Zhongxiong and asked with a smile.

"Second uncle, what do you mean?"

Hearing the speech, Chen Zhongxiong first touched the sparse moustaches under his beard, and then said.

"Big stronghold leader, it's almost impossible to open the pot in the stronghold now. It's not a way to drag on like this. We might as well work together and act separately."

"Double... Double... All together!"

After listening to Chen Zhongxiong's words, Zhang Meng was so surprised that he didn't jump up from his chair.

Seeing the four stronghold leaders sitting in two rows under the hall, Zhang Meng finally understood why he passed on the position of the stronghold leader to him before his father died.

Zhang Meng is now considering whether he should pass on the position of the leader of the stronghold.

If it goes on like this, they may be angry to death!

Zhang Meng turned his head and looked at Feng Yongfu, the leader of the five strongholds, who had not spoken in the hall. He asked weakly.

"Fifth uncle, tell me your opinion!"

Feng Yongfu said faintly.

"I have no problem with your suggestions."

After listening to Feng Yongfu's words, Zhang Meng has lost his heart to the four stronghold leaders under his opponent.

He decided that when Feng Yongfu finished, he immediately announced that he would remove all the four stronghold leaders from their posts, so as not to be angry here.

Feng Yongfu looked around. His eyes were a little complicated. Finally, he said sadly.

"I just hope that the brothers will plant food before they leave.

In this way, even if they can't come back, their family can have a hope! "

Feng Yongfu said that the hall, which had been boiling with blood, suddenly quieted down.

After a while, the second stronghold leader Chen Zhongxiong said in a somewhat depressed tone.

"Old five, don't worry, brothers, we will plant food before we set out. Even if we fail this time, we won't starve to death this year."

Feng Yongfu nodded at the speech.

He Wenliang, the third stronghold leader, suddenly shouted loudly.

"Don't go this time. I'll lead the team alone."

As soon as he Wenliang's voice fell, the fourth stronghold leader Bai Tiansheng fiercely stood up and shouted in a louder voice.

"You don't want to rob this operation. I'll lead the team. I'm familiar with the situation there. I'm the safest to go."

Chen Zhongxiong, the second stronghold leader, was so angry that he patted the table and shook the tea cups on the table to the ground.

"Don't shout there. I'm the second stronghold leader. Don't go this time. I'll lead the team. Who dares to argue again and be careful to serve the stronghold rules!"

Listening to them arguing there, Zhang Meng was a little confused and didn't understand what was going on!

But he understood one thing.

None of the stronghold leaders under my command is a straw bag. I also know that I must die.

But why?

……

Zhang Meng came here in just three days and didn't understand the situation here!

In order to find out the situation, Zhang Meng tentatively asked the second stronghold leader Chen Zhongxiong while they were silent.

"Second uncle, since it's so dangerous to rob these two batches of goods, why should we go? Why don't we go?"

Chen Zhongxiong gets angry when he hears the speech. But when he thinks that the person in front of him is the stronghold leader, although he is his younger generation, he should give him some face!

"Big stronghold leader, now the food in the stronghold has been exhausted. If you don't get some more food, I'm afraid..."

At this point, Chen Zhongxiong didn't go on, but Zhang Meng had heard the meaning of his words.

The stronghold has no food. If you don't get a ticket, you'll starve to death together!

Zhang Meng thought about it and decided to consider it. Besides, it's better not to do this kind of thing!

……

At the stronghold leaders' meeting, at Zhang Meng's strong request, they decided to move to tomorrow to continue their research. We'll come here first today.

As soon as Zhang Meng returned to the backyard, he saw a young man looking into his room and coughed heavily.

The young man was startled by Zhang Meng's cough. He hurriedly turned around and saw that it was Zhang Meng, so he smiled and said.

"Brother Meng, I set up a free son today. I'm thinking about calling you to have some?"

Zhang Meng knows this young man. He is Chen Tao, the eldest son of Chen Zhongxiong, the second stronghold leader!

Zhang Meng patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"Don't worry, let's go to the house first. It's not too late for me to ask you something first and then go to eat!"

They entered the room and sat down. Zhang mengcai said slowly.

"Tao Zi, why should we build a stronghold here? Do you know this?"

Chen Tao smiled at the speech and pointed to Zhang Meng. "Brother Meng, you test me!"

Zhang Meng nodded.

Chen Tao cleared his throat and began to talk.

After listening to him, Zhang Meng understood.

……

During the war, Zhang Meng's father, Zhang Hongtai, led a group of refugees to this place. Seeing the beautiful scenery and charming scenery here, he decided to establish a new home here.

In order to be safe, they began to build houses and reclaim land in a valley surrounded by mountains on three sides.

But after two or three years, they found that although there are beautiful mountains and rivers and incomparable safety, there is one biggest disadvantage.

Because the stockade is built in the valley and the terrain is slightly higher, there is a serious water shortage here.
