Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

Chapter 111 Influence
"How did Brother Niugao conflict with this person?"

Lu Bu interrupted suddenly, just now he could see clearly that this Niu Gao wanted to chase Hu Youwei, and there was a horse over there, judging by the rising and falling stomach, it should be alive, but it must be Hu Youwei's horse.

"This guy is going to hit me with his horse, but I can't get enough of it. I beat his horse unconscious with a deer, and this guy is still going to kill me." Niu Gao angrily pointed at the unconscious horse next to him, Some were aggrieved: "If he is not a good person, otherwise he would not be able to do such a thing."

Chen Yun snorted coldly and said: "When will there be a good man in the court? My Chen family village did not offend him, but he led troops to slaughter the village. It really is unreasonable."

Niu Gao thought for a while: "There must be good people in the imperial court."

"Bah!" Chen Yun spat, "Where are there good people? The land in our village has been confiscated as public land, and the villagers have been beaten as tenants. Surely there are no people in your village who go to the office?"

Niu Gao was startled, and wondered: "What office?"

Chen Yun was taken aback: "Rice field affairs, specialize in the matter of 'legislating and claiming the people's land leases', why haven't you heard of it?"

Niu Gao shook his head: "Our village is in a mountain depression, and the way out of the village is relatively difficult, so few people from the government go there."

Chen Yun looked at him blankly: "Then you are really lucky."

"It's time to go back, otherwise it's not good for brothers to wait." Lu Bu said in a deep voice, got on the horse and sat down, glanced at Niu Gao, and said to Chen Yun: "Brother, did you bring money?"

Chen Yun was about to get on the horse, when he heard the words, he touched the purse: "There are still some."

Lu Bu looked at Niu Gao and said, "Brother Niu, how about selling these wild game to me?"

Niu Gao was overjoyed, although he was strong, it would not be better if he could lighten his body, besides, his mother's medicine was in urgent need of money, if he sold it now, he would have to go to the city to find a buyer.

Immediately after negotiating the price with Chen Yun, Niu Gao took the money and bid farewell to the two of them.

Lu Bu and the two of them would not stop them, they packed up the prey, and the two rode back towards the ambush.

At this time, Chen Yun had his revenge, and his mind was clearer. Thinking of the fact that he left the team and came out alone, he felt a little regretful, so he couldn't help but said: "Brother, Chen Yun used to do his own way and act without authorization, please punish him."

Lu Bu glanced at him, nodded and said: "It is true that you should be punished. As a person who rushed to the battle, you acted on your own, and you didn't obey orders on the battlefield, and left without authorization after the battle. If you were in the army, how many heads would you have to chop off?" of?"

Chen Yun blushed: "My little brother is guilty."

"It's because someone didn't explain clearly the military regulations during the war. You can get fifty army sticks when you go back. If you commit another crime, don't blame the brother for being ungrateful." Lu Bu turned his head and glanced at him again: "If you want to do great things, but There must be no rules."

After speaking, he flicked the reins, and Chitu immediately picked up speed and ran.

"Big event?" Chen Yun muttered two words, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he chased after Lu Bu.

……

The bright sun shines down from the blue sky, passing through the blockage of the leaves and shining on the ground, like gold threads falling from the sky, and the breeze moves with the swaying treetops, as if the light and shadow are integrated here.

The two figures stayed behind the tree for a long time without daring to move, and when they could no longer hear the sound, they raised their heads, wiped off the dirt on their faces, looked at each other, and then smiled wryly together.

"Unlucky..."

"It's not how, everything happened."

"Where are you now?"

"What else can we do, let's go."

On the left, Mo Lao San supported the tree trunk and stood up. Looking at his companion who also got up, he thought for a while and said, "I know a shortcut can be fast..."

"To shut up!"

The companion gave him a sharp look, "Take the road! Don't you guys want to trick me into taking that unknown shortcut with you."

"If you don't leave, you won't leave. Why are you so loud?"

Mo Laosan muttered something, and the two picked up the "walking sticks" that they had thrown down, walked out of the woods, looked at Hu Youwei who was miserable and could not see a human figure, they both felt chills, and hurriedly step away from here.

Not to mention Lv Bu and Niu Gao, just say that these two people rushed day and night to rest, after a few days, they finally entered the gate of Linru city.

Ignoring everyone's strange eyes, the two ran to the house of Mo Laosan's brother-in-law who was a petty official. Mo Laosan called the door eagerly.

"Sister, eldest sister, are you at home? Open the door quickly."

"Come on, come on, who is knocking so fast."

A woman's voice came from inside the door, and then the door creaked open, revealing an ordinary-looking woman: "Ah, why did the third brother come here? Why... why does he look like this?"

The dust on Mo Laosan's face was washed black and white by sweat, and he looked very embarrassed. At this moment, he just said anxiously: "Elder sister, don't worry about this for now, brother-in-law is here?"

Sister Mo shook her head: "I went to the state office in the morning, and I think I won't be back until the evening."

"That's too late." Mo Laosan stomped his feet and said, "We have something important to report to Lord Zhizhou, and I really hope that my brother-in-law can help."

"Then we have to go to the state government."

The companion also said that he was going to take Mo Laosan to the state government office immediately.

"Hold on." Elder Sister Mo hurriedly stopped the two of them and said, "You two are going to the prefectural office with your appearance, aren't you afraid of being beaten away as beggars?"

"This……"

Mo Laosan and his companion looked at each other speechlessly, both civil and military people in this dynasty value appearance, and with their current image, what Elder Sister Mo said is very likely to come true.

"You two come in and change into clean clothes, have something to eat before going to the state office, don't rush this moment."

After Sister Mo finished speaking, she tugged on her brother's sleeve and walked in.

It’s okay not to say this, but when they said that they were really hungry, Mo Laosan didn’t dare or want to resist his own sister’s pulling, so he entered the door with strength, and his companion stepped in after thinking about it. He said in his mouth, "I'm bothering you."

At that moment, Sister Mo made some hot food, and found some clean clothes of her husband to change for the two of them, and then let them go out and go straight to the state office.

The two trotted all the way to the state office, looking for someone to pass a message to Mo Laosan's brother-in-law, and after a while, they saw a fair-faced man with an ordinary appearance coming out, and they were surprised to see Mo Laosan: "Why was the third brother born here? Didn't he go to suppress bandits?"

Mo Laosan smiled wryly and said: "Brother-in-law, it's not a disaster? The Governor was defeated, and we both narrowly escaped death."

The brother-in-law sighed: "I already know the matter, but I didn't expect such a miserable defeat. Master Zhizhou already knew, and he was very angry these two days."

"Got it?" Mo Laosan and his companions looked at each other, and hurriedly said, "When did you know?"

"That is, two or three days ago, Lushan County came to report quickly." The brother-in-law said casually.

"Two or three days ago? Then why did you and I work so hard?"

"That's all, it's good to know, if you know about it, Master Zhizhou can make arrangements earlier."

The brother-in-law saw that the two of them were not in a good mood, so he couldn't help laughing and said: "You two are in good spirits, let's go back first, when Master Zhizhou is in a better mood, I will find a way to help you two talk, and see if I can give you some reward."

Mo Laosan's eyes lit up when he heard it, Mo Laosan nodded and said: "That's fine, it's not in vain for the two of us to travel all the way."

The companion also breathed a sigh of relief: "In this way, I hope that Lord Zhizhou will quickly catch the madman who killed Lord Dujian. That bird man is really dangerous."

"That's not what it is." Mo Laosan also shrugged and echoed.

The two of them chatted for a while, so why not the brother-in-law changed his face and grabbed Mo Laosan and said, "What are you two talking about? Do you know who killed Madujian?"

"Yes, we saw it with our own eyes." Mo Laosan wondered, "Didn't Lushan County say anything?"

"Lushan County only said that it was defeated, but it didn't mention the matter of Ma Dujian." The brother-in-law said solemnly: "You two wait here, and I will report to Master Zhizhou."

Looking at the companion next to Mo Laosan, he said: "Who are you, so I can report your name to Lord Zhizhou."

The companion hurriedly bowed and said: "The villain Zhang Shou, like Mo Laosan, is the deputy head of the army.",

The brother-in-law nodded, and once again told the two not to leave, and hurried towards the state office.

Not long after, I saw him come out and led Mo Laosan and Zhang Shou in. It was already past the noon time, and the officials of the state government had also seen Zhizhou, and they had reported their official business. It was a rare rest time.

When the brother-in-law brought the two of them, the Zhizhou was sitting behind the copywriter, sipping some tea comfortably with a tea bowl in his hand. He watched the three come in before putting it down, and looked at the three.

"My lord, the heads of the two lieutenants have arrived." The brother-in-law stood aside after finishing speaking.

Mo Laosan and Zhang Shou took a sneak peek, and saw that Nazhizhou was 50 years old, with a refined appearance, neatly groomed beard and hair, and very bright clothes, obviously a person who pays attention to appearance.

"Just now I heard that the two of you witnessed the death of Ma Dujian, but is it true?"

For some reason, Mo Laosan lost his eloquence when he arrived at the state office, and his head was sweating. Seeing this, Zhang Shou had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "It's true, my lord."

Zhizhou squinted his eyes, looked at Zhang Shou who was talking, saw his tall and straight figure, and his handsome appearance, so he had a three-point impression: "Tell me about it."

Zhang Shou was not stage-frightened, so he explained the matter in detail immediately, and finally said: "The bandit called himself Lu Bu of Liangshan, and two days ago he was on the way to Lushan County together with the bandit Chen Yun to kill the deputy commander Hu Youwei. .”

Nazhizhou was stunned for a moment: "What are you talking about? Lu Bu? This thief is out of his mind because he wants to be famous, so he used this name."

Zhang Shou lowered his head and did not speak, but heard Zhizhou ask again: "Did the deputy commander also die?"

"Yes, the two villains witnessed it with their own eyes."

At that moment, Zhang Shou talked about the conflict between Hu Youwei and Orion Niugao, and explained in detail how Chen Yun treated Hu Youwei's body.

"What a bunch of stubborn people..."

Zhizhou murmured something, with a thoughtful face, Zhang Shou and Mo Laosan didn't know what he meant and just stood there with their heads bowed, not daring to speak.

"The three of you go down first." Zhizhou waved his hand, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip slowly.

The three quickly saluted, turned around and were about to go out, and then opened the door, Zhizhou's voice came faintly: "Oh yes, your name is Zhang Shou, right?"

"Return to the lord, the villain is Zhang Shou." Zhang Shou was secretly happy, and quickly turned around and replied respectfully.

"Ah."

Zhizhou didn't say anything, just waved his hand with the tea bowl, Zhang Shou hurriedly withdrew and closed the door respectfully.

"Phew - scared to death."

Seeing that Zhang Shou closed the door, Mo Laosan breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest.

"Third brother, you... oh-"

The brother-in-law looked at Mo Laosan with a pale face, then turned around and left angrily with a flick of his sleeves.

Mo Laosan also knew why he was angry, but he scratched his head in embarrassment and smiled without daring to speak.

Zhang Shou turned around and looked at him with a wry smile: "What's wrong with you? You don't look like you today."

"I don't know." Mo Laosan spread his hands, turned and walked outside: "Looking at the face of Mr. Zhizhou, I was so nervous that I couldn't speak. What can I do?"

Zhang Shou didn't know what to say, so he just patted him on the shoulder, and the two walked out together. A few days later, Zhang Shou received an order to enter the Forbidden Army, so I won't talk about it later.

A few days later, a sea arrest document was issued from the state government, offering a reward of [-] guan to Liangshan bandit Lu Bu, counting all the crimes he had committed in Ruzhou, and stating that he would be dead or alive.Those who can provide their whereabouts will be rewarded with two hundred strings.

All of a sudden, the green forests of Ruzhou were shaken, and Lu Bu's reputation spread to the surrounding counties along with the sea arrest document.

Only in the middle, there is still a sea of ​​arrest documents passed to Lushan County.

……

Let's say that Lu Bu and others escorted the captured Song soldiers back to the cottage with more than a dozen carts of supplies.

At this time, the sky was bright, and there were people walking back and forth in Yaoshan Village, carrying things. Judging from the number of vehicles, it was obvious that this place was going to be abandoned.

In the Juyi hall, Lu Bu and his party were sitting neatly inside, with the newly joined Lian and Xi Sheng beside them, while Chen Yun went to deal with the prisoners brought back by the Xiang soldiers.

"Brother, those surrendered soldiers have been taken into custody."

Chen Yun strode into the Gathering Hall, his fighting aura had not completely dissipated, and he was full of power as he walked.

"Thank you brother, let's drink a glass of wine." Lu Bu stood up, poured a bowl of wine for Chen Yun, and handed it over.

Chen Yun took it and drank it down, wiped his mouth and said, "How does brother plan to treat those prisoners?"

Lu Bu glanced at the crowd, and said in a deep voice: "Our foundation is not here, we still have to go back to Liangshan. Those captives, young and old, will be given some rations and allowed to leave, while the rest of the young and strong will be brought back to fill up the fighting power. "

Turning his head to look at Xi Sheng, he said, "How to persuade them to surrender will require more thought from Brother Xi Sheng. I can't wait here any longer, but the original target is Xiangyang."

Xi Sheng stood up and said, "Brother, don't worry, this matter is easy, and it's on my younger brother's shoulders, but I still need the assistance of Brother Li and Brother Chen."

Liao was taken aback when he heard this: "It's fine to kill with hands, but I'm not good at lip service."

Chen Yun also had a troubled expression on his face. He is also a person who likes to use his hands more than his mouth.

Xi Sheng shook his head and said: "You don't need to persuade me, you just need to tell what you have experienced and seen, and I will leave the rest to you."

Lu Bu looked at Xi Sheng with even more satisfaction. He and Qiao Lie were the only ones who often discussed things on this mountain, and now it seems that there is one more person who can discuss things.

Yan Jiao laughed: "Me! As long as I don't let Laozi try to persuade you to surrender, other things are up to brother's wishes."

Chen Yun also nodded and said: "Such small things are of course willing."

Xi Sheng nodded in satisfaction, and said to Lu Bu: "Brother is very famous in Shandong and Hebei at this time, and I dare to take this opportunity to publicize what my brother has done in the two places, so that my name is also known in the west of Beijing." Spread the word."

"Yes, brother, let's see." Lu Bu was willing, and Xi Sheng was overjoyed.

At that moment, the three of them confessed their crimes with everyone, and they went out of the Juyi hall to go to the prisoner without mentioning it.

Lu Bu and the others went out of the hall to direct the minions to quickly pack up the things that were used in the stronghold. In the evening, the three of Xi Sheng came to report, and a total of more than 170 soldiers were collected, and the rest were given food and let them leave, but no one Knowing that, when Xi Sheng released this group of people, he told them what Lu Bu had done in Liao, Hebei, and Shandong, and the reputation of this strong man in Jingdong began to spread in the west of Beijing.

Lu Bu was overjoyed when he heard that there were nearly 200 people in Yaoshan Village who were willing to follow up to Liangshan, and there were nearly 200 more people at this time.

At present, everyone made porridge from the meat bought by Lu Bu and others. Although it was not much, it still made everyone feel a little bit of meat, and made many Xiang soldiers who had been oppressed by the superiors feel grateful for the kindness of bandits.

It was night, and everyone was silent for a night, and then they spent two or three days in a row counting supplies and recuperating, until all the people were able to set off.
