The Song Dynasty has been deliberate for 16 years, only to know that it is the Water Margin

Chapter 212 Eighteen Families Against the King, 72 Ways of Smoke and Dust
Mr. Jin Jian, Li Zhu, is also a master!
Yao Pingzhong was stunned when he heard the words, and everyone in the hall was stunned.

Lu Junyi said: "My lord, Mr. Jin Jian, Li Zhu is actually the master?"

Zhao Tun nodded and said, "It's not first-rate, nor is it a little grandmaster, this person is indeed a grandmaster!"

Zong Ze frowned and said, "Why do people like this become thieves?"

Zhao Tong said: "I got the news from the Privy Council that Wang Qing rebelled at first, but Li Zhu encouraged him to embrace him. I think... he wants to be a minister of the dragon!"

Everyone was silent, even Yao Pingzhong, who was eager to try just now, looked a little ugly.

But only for a moment, Yao Pingzhong's expression returned to the original, and he said: "My lord, it doesn't matter if Li Zhu has high martial arts skills. As long as he can win the ring, sneak into the bandit army, and then see it as a military strategy, no matter how good his martial arts skills are, I'm afraid he can't." Don't you know soldiers?"

Zhao Tang looked at him and smiled slightly: "Are you sure you won't be seen through?"

Yao Pingzhong slapped his chest, "My lord, my subordinates have also been in the rivers and lakes, don't you look like a green forest hero?"

Zhao Tang glanced at him, naturally he had a different temperament from Liu Kai's Zhe Kecun, but...you don't seem to be a quack, but rather like the ruffian of the Western Army.

He said: "A hero is not like one, take one!"

Yao Pingzhong opened his mouth, and Zhe Kecuo said sideways: "I'm afraid you are mixed with the heroic spirit of the rivers and lakes and the rascal spirit of the bandit and the army."

Yao Pingzhong frowned and said: "I saw people in the green forest like this in Guanzhong, what's the difference?"

Zhe Kecun said: "The temperament is different!"

Yao Pingzhong thought for a while: "Yes, yes, a certain person has the kind of temperament that goes forward bravely, fights the enemy bravely, and never retreats. Ordinary Jianghu people just have a kind of ruthlessness, not the kind of straight forward, and there are more Somewhat cautious."

Zhe Kecun said silently, "Just as long as you are happy."

Yao Pingzhong looked at Zhao Tun and said, "My lord, if I practice again, I'm sure I'll be able to succeed. Then the Luzhou competition..."

Zhao Tong said, "Let's discuss again!"

At this moment, just outside the city of Luzhou, craftsmen are building a ring.

This time Wang Qing set up the Luzhou competition, but it was actually a last resort.

There are really too many soldiers under him, all of them are like wolves and tigers. Although they charge bravely, they have no rules, and there is no military law or strategy at all.

This is also the reason why Deng Xunwu led his troops to conquer and win two games in a row at the beginning.

In those two games, Wang Qing's defeat was due to the fact that there was no general in charge of the army. If it hadn't been for the bravery of these bandit troops and refugees who killed the imperial army in fear, they might not have won and then captured Luzhou.

After the incident, Wang Qing was afraid, so he hurriedly consulted with Li Zhu. There were too many soldiers, and there were few generals. It was like a swarm of bees in a war. Sometimes they didn't even listen to military orders.

So, Li Zhu came up with such a strategy, set up a arena in front of Luzhou City, recruiting heroes from all over the world, not only can select leading generals in the arena, but also attract those cottages with soldiers to vote.

Wang Qing praised it at the time, and it really was a clever plan that kills two birds with one stone, but Li Zhu shook his head and said that this is killing three birds with one stone.

Wang Qing asked why, and Li Zhuyan said, those people from the cottages, whether they take refuge or not, just pay a visit, as long as they catch this opportunity, it will be a big deal, and some big villages must be invited to come and watch, such as Hebei Tian Tiger, the youngest Zhong from Liangshan and Dongting Lake in Shandong, and so on.

Wang Qing was even more puzzled when he heard the words, if he didn't seek refuge, what's the use of inviting him?

But Li Zhu said with a smile, this is a joint strategy.

I think at the end of the Sui Dynasty, when only one family revolted, eighteen families rebelled against the king, and the smoke and dust of the 72nd Road raised troops one after another, which overthrew the Sui Dynasty. After the Song Dynasty, think about how to divide the country.

Wang Qing suddenly realized that, even called it a clever plan, he acted according to Li Zhu's plan and started to build Luzhou Lei.

Naturally, the arena was placed directly in front of Luzhou City, with its back facing Huaidong and other places, and was supervised by the imperial envoy Qiu Xiang.

The ten seats of the arena must not only be built in a majestic manner, but also luxurious, that is, the wood must be carefully selected, with cloud patterns carved on it, and the roof of the arena must have a high shed to protect the sun and rain. , hung on the roof ring.

Although this project is time-consuming, it is not much at all, but it can be completed before the start time set by Li Zhu.

As for the opposite side of the arena, there are also flower shed seats for watching, which are prepared for Wang Qing and the ministers and generals in the court.

In the distance on the other side, many simple houses have been built for free living for some shabby green forest heroes. Of course, those who want to live in the city are welcome. , let you pick and choose.

Wang Qing is not afraid of spies who sneak into the court. First, he has masters such as Li Zhu sitting in command, second, he knows that there are no masters in the Forbidden Army, and third, he not only has many soldiers under his command, but also many green forest heroes. If a middleman sneaks in, I'm afraid it won't take long to be discovered.

The competition in Luzhou was scheduled to start on May [-]th, and there were still three days left, but outside Luzhou city, there were already more patrolling soldiers along the sidelines, and the investigation was more rigorous and meticulous.

In the past few days, the three mountains and five mountains, and heroes from all over the country came one after another. For a while, Luzhou city was full of people, even the simple wooden houses next to the ring were full.

Just the day before the start of the ring competition, on the eighth day of May, a group of three people came from outside Luzhou city.

One of them was a young man, wearing a silver cloak and a robe full of flowers. He had a straight figure and an extraordinary temperament. He had a large pink flower on his temples. He had sculpted eyebrows and phoenix eyes. He had a face like turmeric and a smile that was not a smile. He held a folding fan in his hand. , I came here on the moonlight, just because you are in the mountains, and there is an evil charm and madness in your behavior.

The other person was tall, with a tiger head and tiger eyes, with radiant eyes and a rebellious look, with a knife on his waist and a spear on his back, standing there like half a hill, looking majestic and fierce.

The last person is wearing a hat and ordinary clothes, walking at the back, bowing his head pleasing to the eye, unable to see the expression, at first glance, he looks like an ordinary man in the market, but this person's waist is bulging, The sleeves are also straight as stiff, as if something is hidden inside.

The three of them didn't rush to the gate of the city, but looked at it for a while, and then came to the edge of the arena, and then the seemingly ordinary man who walked at the end, took out a few things from his body, went to the registration place next to the arena to make a call call.

The person sitting behind the registration table was a close friend of Wang Qing's, called Du Gui, about thirty years old, looked at the ordinary man and said, "Hero, where did you come from?"

The ordinary man said: "I came from Guanzhong with my master. I heard that King Huai accepts heroes from all over the world, so I came here to fight and serve."

Du Gui said: "Maybe there are nicknames registered together."

The ordinary man said: "Let's talk about my master first, it's Li Fei who is known as the jade-faced butterfly, who steals the fragrance of the little man."
