Water Margin people

"Haha, Dongping Mansion is here!"

After passing Anshan Town, we soon arrived at Dongping Mansion.

At this time, the city gate of Dongping Mansion was closed, and the defenders on the city hid behind the female wall and did not dare to show their faces.

"Why are you so afraid of me? I won't eat you again!"

Sun Lei pointed at Dongping Mansion and said with a smile.

"Brother, do you want to fight Dongping Mansion?"

Qin Ming looked at Sun Lei and asked, he just joined Liangshan and was eager to make meritorious service.

"No, let's go directly!"

Sun Lei waved his hand and said, last time Dongping Mansion lost all its soldiers and horses, and Dong Ping also fled, now there are only a few hundred remnants defending the city.

"Prefect Cheng, I hope you will stop acting impulsively!"

Sun Lei shouted to the city with a smile, he knew that Cheng Wanli was hiding in the city.

After Liangshan's army left, Cheng Wanli walked out of the tower.

"Master Zhifu, the thief is gone!"

The general who defended the city looked at the army going away and said with a sigh of relief, and the defenders behind him also breathed a sigh of relief. If the Liangshan army attacked the city, they would not be sure to stop it.

"If you let the thief go like this, the imperial court will definitely punish him!"

Cheng Wanli had a complex expression on his face. Everyone in Dongping Mansion did not want to go to war with Liangshan, but as the prefect, he was on the side of guarding the land, and it would be a felony to let bandits cross the border.

"Master Zhifu, we have few soldiers and horses, so we should ask the imperial court for help!"

Kong Mu on the side said, Dongping Mansion has no power to fight Liang Shan now, so it can only ask the imperial court for help.

Cheng Wanli sighed and went down the tower. It’s not that he didn’t write to Tokyo for help, but he didn’t get any response after several letters. It’s obvious that his memorial was suppressed. There are not many such memorials in various places, as long as they don’t attack the city The imperial court didn't bother to take care of the land.

When he returned to the government office, Cheng Wanli sighed. He had already expected the court's reprimand, and if he failed, he would be demoted.

"Father drink tea!"

Cheng Wan'er came out with a tea tray.

"Want to ask about the traitor again?"

Cheng Wanli looked at his worried daughter and said.

"Father, I didn't!"

Cheng Wan'er repeatedly shook her head in denial, but the curiosity on her face betrayed her.

"He has just led troops to Gaotang Prefecture, but he is so bold that he dared to run thousands of miles away."

Cheng Wanli sneered, in his opinion, Sun Lei was stupid and impulsive, and a thief should be like this, and Sun Lei's attack this time was more ominous than good.

After passing Jingyanggang, you will arrive at Niutoushan.

"Brother, after leaving this mountain, you will arrive at Dongchang Prefecture."

Hua Rong pointed to the Niutoushan Mountain in the distance and said.

"Finally, there is no need to go on the mountain road."

Sun Lei nodded.

"My lord! My lord! My lord, spare me!"

In the woods, an old couple came out crying.

"who!"

Tang Bin stared at the two men with a mountain ax and asked, Hao Siwen had already taken people to the woods to check.

"Brother, only this old couple!"

Hao Siwen's voice came.

"Brother, what's the matter?"

Lu Zhishen came over on horseback and asked in confusion, why is there an old couple blocking the way?
"I don't know! Who are you, why are you blocking the way of my army?"

Sun Lei looked at the old couple and asked, he was chatting with Zong Ze and Zhang Shuye just now, and was interrupted when the Qin State destroyed Zhao.

"Your Majesty, please spare my daughter! We only have this little flesh and blood, and we still hope to find a son-in-law to take care of us!"

The old man and the old woman knelt down and howled.

"I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding here?"

Sun Lei looked bewildered, as if he wanted to rob people's daughters by force.

"Didn't your majesty send someone to say that you want to take the little girl as a concubine?"

The old man looked at Sun Lei and said.

Everyone looked at Sun Lei in unison, wondering when Sun Lei would take a concubine again.

"Old man, I'm a family man, don't talk nonsense!"

Sun Lei stared at the old man, his innocence should not be tarnished.

The old man explained for a long time before Sun Lei found out what had happened. It turned out that a few days ago a famous man ran to Liu Taigong's manor, saying that he was the leader of Liangshanbo, and passed an order to Liu Taigong, saying that Sun Lei, the lord of Liangshanbo, the great sage of Qitian, had taken a fancy to him. He married Liu Taigong's daughter, and she will come to marry in a few days. If Liu Taigong refuses, Liangshan's army will flatten Liujiazhuang and kill everyone. Liu Taigong thought that Sun Lei came to ask for someone this time.

"Who is this to ruin my reputation?"

Sun Lei looked around, everyone shook their heads, Liang Shan would never do such a thing.

"Old man, you have misunderstood. My Liangshan army is here for other reasons. It is not for your daughter. How about it? Since someone ruined my Liangshan reputation, it must not be lightly forgiven. Tang Bin, you bring a team people go!"

Sun Lei looked at Tang Bin and said.

"Yes, brother!"

Tang Bin clasped his fists and said.

The army continued on their way and arrived outside Dongchang Mansion two days later.

Only then did Tang Bin catch up with a few heads.

"Brother, these few people are pretending to be our Liangshan heroes, and this bandit leader is pretending to be brother!"

Tang Bin pointed to the heads he had brought back and said.

It turned out that there was a small Taoist temple on Niutou Mountain, which was occupied by two strong men not long ago, one surnamed Wang and Jiang, the other surnamed Dong, and the other named Hai. Occupy the Taoist temple and focus on robbery.

But the two of them had only a few companions around them, and their strength was relatively weak, so they came up with the idea of ​​Liang Shanbo, and under the banner of Liang Shanbo, they went to borrow food from villages that were stuffy with news.

This time he also fell in love with Liu Taigong's daughter, but there were few people and he couldn't beat Liujiazhuang, so he borrowed Sun Lei's name again to be a fox and pretend to be a tiger.

"There are people in this world who are not afraid of death!"

Sun Lei looked at those heads coldly. Last time he killed a ghost Li, and this time Wang Jiang and Dong Hai came again. They really couldn't stop killing them.

"Okay, just kill it."

Sun Lei waved his hand and told the soldiers to bury those heads.

"Zhang Dujian, you are the most familiar with this Dongchang mansion. How many soldiers and horses are there in the city?"

Sun Lei looked at Zhang Qing and asked.

"Dongchang Mansion originally had [-] defenders, but they lost [-] last time."

Zhang Qing replied.

"That means there are still two thousand defenders."

Sun Lei nodded.

"Array forward!"

Sun Lei waved his hand, and the army quickly lined up outside Dongchang Mansion.

"Can someone from the city come down and talk?"

Sun Lei pointed at Dongchang Mansion and shouted.

The city gate opened, and a man in an official robe led a group of soldiers out of the city.

"You are the prefect of Dongchang Prefecture!"

Sun Lei looked at the man in his 40s and asked.

"In broad daylight, you and other bandits dare to pass through the state!"

The magistrate pointed at Sun Lei and reprimanded angrily.

"Don't say that, as if I have nothing to do with you when I go there at night."

Sun Lei smiled and pointed to the sky.

"This time my army borrowed the way, and I hope that Dongchang Mansion will make it easier for me not to interfere in this battle, otherwise I won't promise anything."

Sun Lei said with a smile that he had already learned from Zhang Qing that the prefect of Dongchang Mansion was a clean official, and he was not willing to make things difficult.

"Do you think that's possible?"

The magistrate looked at Sun Lei and asked.

"If you pretend not to see it, at most you will be reprimanded and demoted to one rank! If I take down Dongchang Mansion now, the city will be devastated, and even if I don't kill you, will the court lightly spare you?"

Sun Lei said with a smile, the harm between the two is the lesser, such a simple truth would not be unintelligible to a magistrate.

After a "friendly" conversation, the city gate of Dongchang Mansion was closed again, and the city gate will not be opened again until the end of the war.
