please make me king

Chapter 1255 Li Shukong

"King Calabash, shall we just let them go?" Early the next morning, Wang Jinying, a general under Ren Liang's command, saw Song Xiance and Wukong leaving on two horses, Shi Shiran, and couldn't help asking a little bit unwillingly.

"If you don't let them go, what else can you do?" Ren Liang sneered.

"Then Li Xiucai is not an easy boss. He has a thousand or two thousand elite riders under his command. Even Wang Gang back then was not as powerful as him."

"If these two people can convince this person, we naturally have nothing to say."

"If the two of them can't even take down this person, what face will they have to come to see me again?"

It turns out that "Jiaoyi has long been known as ridge soil, and the northwest is full of mountains and mountains; those who cultivate them are half as good as stone fields." Of."

"The mountain is rich in forests, which can be sold. It is also good for animal husbandry. There is Shixia in the north of the boundary, which belongs to Jingle County. Therefore, the Zuo family calls it Qudi, which produces a lot of good horses."

"In the mountains of King Liu's army in the western region, there are many herbs and herbs, and the mules and horses put fodder in them. They are disease-free, strong and easy to walk, and they produce different products."

The so-called "stone field" refers to the rocky and uncultivable land, and it is mostly used to describe useless things. From this, it can be seen that the people here cannot use farming as a career.

As the saying goes: rely on mountains to eat mountains and rely on water to eat water.

Since there is no way to develop agriculture in Jiaoshan, the people here naturally rely on the mountains and forests to engage in hunting, horse raising, wood selling, iron smelting, leather and other industries.

Let's not talk about other industries, but let's talk about animal husbandry and horse raising.Historically, Jingle County, Xinzhou, Daizhou and other places were famous places for raising horses.

The Western Han Dynasty, the Northern Qi Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty all set up pastoral gardens here successively. It is famous for producing excellent horses.

The three cliff rebels headed by Ren Liang are doing well here. Although they have good horses, they still need to buy them from Jingle territory.

As for Li Shukong, who occupied Zhou Hongshan, he was in the land of Loufan during the Warring States Period, so naturally there were many horses and knights.

When Li Shukong was not in the army, he was framed and imprisoned. It was his friend Liu Rang Xingye who rushed to Guihua City, recruited [-] elite cavalry, killed officials and robbed him, and escaped from the prison.

Now that he has been raising troops for a long time, one can imagine the strength of his subordinates.

Therefore, this "King of Calabash" seemed to be taking a step back from Song Xiance, but in fact, he presented him with a difficult problem.

How did Song Xiance and Wukong know about this guy's plan? They just left the abandoned castle and headed west along the zucchini valley.

It turns out that there are two tributaries in the upper reaches of Wenshui, one is called the Zucchini River and the other is called the East Gourd River.

The valley formed by these two tributaries is called the Zucchini River and the East Hulu River by the locals.

The three cliffs that Ren Liang occupied were located on the East Gourd River; and the many villages in the Zucchini River were where the rebels headed by Ren Liang followed.

It is precisely because Ren Liang is in charge of the "East and West Gourds" that he has the nickname of the Gourd King.

Not to mention what Ren Liang and others planned, let's say that Song Xiance and Wukong finally arrived at the end of the Zucchini River, crossed mountains and leaped mountains, turned north, and came to the Nanchuan River Valley.

The two of them traveled for another thirty or forty li, only to see that the Nanchuan River merged into another river, which was called the Jian River.

As soon as the two of them arrived near the Jianhe River, seven or eight knights had already surrounded them and shouted sharply: "That man Wu, where did you come from!"

Hearing this, Song Xiance could not help but sit on the horse, stroked his beard and said, "I am."

"The leader of the [-]th Battalion of the Rebel Army, King Shun and the President of Fengtian Initiative, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, Shandong, the four provinces of Northern Zhili, one capital, military administration and justice, and other affairs, under the command of the great national teacher Song Xiance, and the Monkey King Sun Wukong are here, which one is not convinced! "In the end, Song Xiance opened his mouth, but Wukong, that idiot, suddenly interjected and recited what Song Xiance said earlier.

Song Xiance couldn't help but put his hand on his forehead, and was almost killed by the monkey on the spot.

"What's so messed up, the name is so long?" The knight was amused when he heard the words, opened his mouth to repeat it again, and then asked, "Is there any omissions?"

Wukong didn't expect this guy to have such a good memory, and he was dumbfounded all of a sudden.

But Song Xiance couldn't help but tremble in his heart, and secretly said: "This Li Shukong really deserves his reputation, and the people under his hands have two skills."

It turned out that before Song Xiance came, he already knew that Li Shukong had many horses and an elite cavalry, so he was not very surprised.

It's just that such a person has such an excellent memory and ability to perceive words and emotions, but it's amazing.

Why?

Because people like this are often excellent scouts.

Scouts are to the army what eyes and ears are to people.

It's not scary if Li Shukong has more cavalry, what's scary is that if he has an excellent scout, it will be much more difficult to deal with.

Thinking of this, Song Xiance couldn't help but patted his horse and said, "Your Excellency has a good memory, but it's like this."

"We are generals under the command of King Shun. We just met Ren Liang, the 'King of Calabash', and we just want to pay a visit to Zhaizhu Li again. Could I bother you to pass it on?"

"It's easy to say, easy to say!" Although it was getting late, the man still sent someone back to the cottage to report, and he dismounted to accompany Song Xiance and Wukong.

Song Xiance saw them boasting bows and arrows at their waists and hanging blunderbuss on their backs, he couldn't help but wondered: "The old Taoist said something, I don't know whether I should ask it, but my heart is itchy."

"Old man, it's okay to ask!" The knight was quick to answer.

"I don't know if your blunderbuss were captured or forged by yourself?" Song Xiance couldn't help but borrowed the slope to go down the donkey road.

"Some were captured, and some were forged." The man said with a smile.

"It's not surprising that people in the mountains often use it for hunting. It's just that if it's excellent, it's Lou Fan Wang's Village."

"There is a king over there who specializes in this kind of business, and is on good terms with my village head, so everyone is worthy of a good bird."

Song Xiance was shocked when he heard the words, good cavalry, good scouts, and now with good firearms, I am afraid that Li Shukong is no small matter.

Song Xiance and Wukong waited until it was dark, built a fire, and planned to spend the night like this.

Suddenly I heard the sound of horseshoes, and then a hearty voice sounded: "I heard that King Shun sent an envoy to come to recruit. I don't know where the distinguished guest is, but Li has neglected him!"

"Is this person Village Master Li?" Song Xian couldn't help but turned his head and asked.

The left and right knights looked at each other and laughed, "It's not him, but which one!"

Song Xiance responded quickly: "Song Xiance is here, please trouble Village Master Li to ask."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qiba Qi rushed in, and the first one jumped up without stopping, and suddenly landed in front of everyone.

Song Xiance raised his eyes and saw that this man had a hulking back, his eyes were shining brightly, and he looked like a good general.

However, the horse lost the rein and charged towards the two of them.

Wukong couldn't help jumping forward and stopped in front of Song Xiance.

He rushed five or seven steps in a row, only leaned forward, grabbed the rein with one hand, and hugged the horse's neck with the other, and then shouted loudly: "Stop!"

"Hey!" The horse weighed more than six or seven hundred catties, and rushed towards it suddenly, fearing that it would not have the strength of a thousand catties.

That Wukong was bumped six or seven steps by him, and he was about to bump into the old Taoist Song Xiance.

Unexpectedly, Wukong had already let go of his strength, and he only pushed up hard, and the horse's front hooves were raised high, almost stepping on Song Xiance's face, but it stopped.

"So strong, so courageous!" Li Shukong couldn't help shrinking his pupils when he saw this, and immediately looked at the legendary King Shun.

Don't think that people like Ren Liang and Li Shukong only know how to fight for power, but they actually have their own ways.

Try its envoy's bravery and test its strength.

The second is to test the courage of the envoy, and to test whether the up and down are united.

The envoy is the face of the lord, so he is naturally chosen carefully.

If his courage is insufficient, it means that he has no one under his command.

If the courage is insufficient, it means that no one under his command will die for him.

Therefore, Song Xiance deliberately asked Zhang Shun for a strong martial arts general before his trip, and his intention was also in this way.

Then Li Shukong may not seem to be born as a scholar, but he is actually very brave.

It turned out that he lived in Sanyuan Village, but later moved to Hejiazhuang.

At that time, there happened to be a pair of well roller stone frames in his home, which weighed four to five hundred catties.

Li Shukong couldn't give up, so he carried it on his back and moved it to Hejiazhuang, seven or eight miles away, and became famous from this.

Now he is amazed to see Wukong's supernatural power, and he can't beat him by himself.

Li Shukong couldn't help laughing and said: "King Shun really has a lot of talents under his command. If you want me to submit to King Shun, it's all right."

"It's just that a certain family has ordinary skills and makes a good gun. If anyone of the two can beat me, I will be willing to recognize him as the master, and the two thousand knights under his command will be at his command!"

"This..." Song Xiance was dumbfounded when he heard the words. Although Wukong was born with supernatural powers, he was clumsy at bows and arrows.

Since Li Shukong dared to propose a competition of bird guns, he is naturally a good player, so how can the two be their opponents?
　Everyone can't help but feel that the author is long-winded. Originally, Ren Liang and Li Shukong were generals under the command of the protagonist after Chen Changzhu and Xiao Qinhu, but the outline was changed later, and the plot was lost.

　　Letting these two people show their faces a little this time can be regarded as making up for them...
