The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 357

"Does the village master want to cooperate with Qingfeng Mountain?" Luan Tingyu asked thoughtfully after Shi Qian left.

Mu Xu nodded and explained to Luan Tingyu and Lin Chong, "I'm afraid that saving people this time will require breaking down the city. What can we accomplish with our five hundred cavalry?"

Lin Chong said worriedly, "Although Qingzhou is not as strong as Daming Mansion, it should not be underestimated. My brother is afraid that Qingfeng Mountain is not strong enough, so why not send some soldiers from Liangshanbo to make sure everything is safe!"

"I thought about it that way too, but it took a lot of time to go back and forth. Besides..." Mu Xu hesitated for a while, thinking that the two of them were not outsiders, he simply said bluntly,
"You are all my own brothers, so I won't hide it. The reason why I want to cooperate with Qingfengshan is to give Chao Gai and the others the reputation of breaking Qingzhou."

Neither of them are fools, they immediately understood Mu Xu's intentions, and then heard him continue,
"This Qingzhou is different from other places. The sister of the prefect Murong Yanda is the noble concubine of Zhao Guan's family. If something happens to him, his sister only needs to blow pillows to Zhao Guan's family. What do you think the king of this country will do?"

What will happen?Of course they sent troops to attack, and of course the two of them knew the answer, but they felt in their hearts that what Mu Xu did was not heroic enough.After looking at the expressions of the two of them for a while, Mu Xu understood what they were thinking, and immediately got angry,

"Do you think that my move is not open enough?"

How dare the two of them admit this, they both denied it with one voice, Mu Xu took the opportunity to teach them a lesson,
"Brother Luan is used to walking in the rivers and lakes, so it's okay to think so. But as for Coach Lin, you are a person who has been in the officialdom after all, why are you so naive?"

Lin Chong made Mu Xuxun's face turn red, and he was speechless for a while, but Mu Xu didn't seem to want to let the two go, so he said,
"We're just going to be bandits for the time being. When the time is right, we need to do something big. How can we blindly learn from the heroes of the rivers and lakes?
Remember, you must always treat yourself as a general. If you can't change your mentality in time, how can you bring more soldiers and horses in the future? How dare I let you be alone? "

Mu Xu's words were almost a naked display of his ambition, and the two of them trembled at the same time.Lin Chong was fine, but Luan Tingyu was not. It was the first time he had heard of Mu Xu's ambition. Apart from being shocked, what was left in his heart was endless ecstasy. After all, he also had a dream of honoring his ancestors and enshrining his wife and son.

As mentioned earlier, Mu Xu likes to watch the dishes the most. He knows that Lin Chong has given up on the court because of Gao Qiu, and Luan Tingyu is even better. Now that you see an opportunity to get ahead, you must firmly grasp it.

But Mu Xu said so much today, not to make a big deal for the two of them, he has ulterior motives.Seeing that the timing was almost here, he walked forward two steps with his hands behind his back, and muttered to himself in an unreadable voice,

"I heard that Murong Yanda is not in good health. If something happens this time, I don't know how sad the noble concubine in the palace will be. Thinking about it makes people unbearable!"

After finishing speaking, he left and went to inspect the temporary camp, leaving only Lin Chong behind him looking at each other.

After a while, Luan Tingyu asked Lin Chong, "Brother Lin, what does the village master mean?" As he spoke, he gestured to wipe his neck with his hand.

Lin Chong nodded and said, "God knows this matter, you know and I know. Just do what the village master wants. Anyway, Lin has nowhere to go, and now he is fighting for wealth with the village master. What about you, brother?"

Luan Tingyu smiled wryly, "I'm not as good as you, brother Lin. I think I practiced martial arts diligently since I was young, and the cold and heat never stopped, but in the end, I could only succumb to the countryside and work for the local gentry. It was the village owner who gave Luan hope. Even if it is said that it is a government minister, even if Emperor Zhao is in front of him, I will not be relentless!"

"Okay, if we can really break Qingzhou City, the two of us will play by ear, and it's best to blame this matter on the Qingfengshan gang!"

But he said that Shi Qian was ordered to inquire about information on Qingfeng Mountain, and he only took half a day to return. He replied to Mu Xu, "After learning that Song Jiang was escorted to Qingzhou, Chao Gai led Qingfeng Mountain to come out. Now it is very urgent to attack Qingzhou City. It was just blocked by Qin Ming and Huang Xin's troops, and he failed to make any achievements for a while."

"How many men do they have?"

"Back to brother, there are about four or five thousand."

Mu Xu thought about it for a moment. Based on the configuration of the Song Dynasty, Qingzhou, as the capital of a place, should have at least ten thousand officers and soldiers under the full staff.But according to the virtues of those officials nowadays, they must be paid for nothing. In this way, Qingzhou is estimated to have only five or six thousand people, or even less.Otherwise, why bother to defend the city when facing four or five thousand grass bandits?

Thinking of this, Mu Xu understood that the key to the attack on Qingzhou City this time was the speed of soldiers. Once the local government and army of Qingzhou Prefecture came to help, things would be difficult.

"You pass down the order to order the brothers to camp and rest where they are."

In the evening of the next day, half an hour before midnight, a group of cavalry arrived one mile away from Qingfeng Town in the dark.Because of Mu Xu's prior order, the torches were not allowed to be lit, and the horseshoes were wrapped in cloth, so until now, the town has not noticed anything.

After waiting at the same place for about half a stick of incense, Mu Xu saw Shi Qian and Chen Er leading a familiar soldier coming. When he walked up to him, Chen Er pointed to the soldier and said, "The village master can return Remember bangs?"

Before Mu Xu could answer, the soldier bowed his head to the ground, "It was all thanks to the village master to save the villain's wife. I have never repaid my kindness, so today I kowtow to the village master."

When Mu Xu heard this, he immediately remembered the identity of this person. It was the husband of the woman he rescued at the foot of Qingfeng Mountain when he came back to Qingzhou.Mu Xu smiled and helped him up, and said,
"There is no need for such a big gift. I just happened to meet the meeting, saw the road was rough, and drew my sword to help. Let's not mention this, let's talk about the defense situation of Qingfeng Village. Then Liu Gao is in the village?"

Liu Hai clasped his fists and replied, "That thief Liu Gao took my family's Zhizhai to Qingzhou and then returned. Now he is guarding in the village. I heard, I heard..."

"Brother has something to say, but it's okay to say it?"

Liu Hai gritted his teeth and replied, "I heard from the servants of the Huafu that the old thief Liu Gao had threatened Mrs. Hua Zhizhai in the past few days, saying that as long as Mrs. Hua would commit herself to him, he would help Hua Zhizhai get rid of the crime. Madam Hua categorically rejected her. If he hadn't been worried about the soldiers in the camp, the thief might not be able to use force."

"You shameless fellow! I'll break down the gate of the village later, arrest this thief, and leave it to Brother Hua to deal with it himself!" Mu Xu cursed angrily.

Seeing this, Liu Hai hurriedly said, "Please don't worry, the owner of the village, that Liu Gao is unpopular, and now people in the village are panicking, and everyone is complaining for Huazhi village, and today it is the villain guarding the east gate."

Mu Xu was overjoyed when he heard the words, and said with a smile, "In this way, Qingfengzhai can be taken down without any effort. Brother, let's go back and prepare first, and I will arrive later with my troops."

With Liu Hai acting as an internal response, Mu Xu led his troops to the east gate of Qingfeng Town. He did not encounter any resistance. Don't show mercy to those who resist to the end!"

After finishing speaking, he nodded to Lin Chong and the others, and led more than fifty riders straight to Huafu.But Lin Chong and the others waited for a while, and when they felt that Mu Xu had almost arrived at the Huafu, they lit the torches and led the troops to attack the barracks in the village.

Let's talk about Mu Xu leading troops to the gate of Huafu, the soldiers Liu Gao sent to guard Hua Rong's family did not see the commotion in the village, so they never thought it would be the enemy, so they were easily dealt with by Mu Xu.

Entering the gate of Hua Mansion, Hua Niangzi and Hua Baoyan, who had been notified by Chen Er earlier, were already waiting anxiously with Hua Rong's two young children. Seeing Mu Xu coming at this time, the two sisters-in-law and sister-in-law were relieved.

Hua Niangzi bowed gratefully, and said gratefully, "Uncle, my family will never forget it!"

Mu Xu gave Hua Baoyan, who was staring at him intently, a look, beckoning her to help his sister-in-law up, and then said, "What are you talking about, brother and sister, brother Huaxian and I are brothers and sisters, and I came here to save you this time as it should be. Don't be so polite."

While talking, he suddenly heard the sound of horn cannons from outside, followed by the sound of shouts and the sound of horseshoes. Seeing the worried eyes of Miss Hua and the others, Mu Xu comforted him softly, "Don't worry, these are the men and horses I brought. In the reception camp."

Hua Niangzi breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and when she was about to ask Hua Rong's whereabouts, she saw Hua Baoyan floating to Mu Xu like a cloud, grabbed his sleeve and said, "Brother Mu, where is my brother now? Worrying about your life?"

Mu Xu didn't want them to worry, so he said perfunctorily, "Don't worry, Brother Hua Xian was rescued on the way to escort, because he received twenty killing sticks, he is unable to move now, I will leave him in the camp a hundred miles away Rest and recuperate, and you will be able to reunite in two days."
