Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

Bang!
The mahogany tabletop was slapped with a loud bang, and the deep voice echoed in the hall: "Are the Zhu birds in the Zhu family so crazy?! They actually led people to block the door. Do you really think that Dulonggang belongs to his family?! "

As he spoke, the man stood up. He was about seven feet tall, with a majestic appearance, a serious smile, and a pair of sharp eyes. He was the owner of Lijiazhuang and a famous rich man in Dulonggang - Putiandiao Li Ying.

The person standing below has a small face and big cheeks, and his cheeks are messy and uncombed. He looks very ugly, but this person is the supervisor of Lijiazhuang - Du Xing, the grimace. At this time, he looks even more sad. It's three points ugly: "Dongren, when I went to Zhu's house last time to express my condolences, I heard that many people came to his home. Now I led people to block the door and invite them out. I'm afraid the visitor is not good. It's better to sneak away. Go out to report to the official?"

"Report to the official? Doesn't that mean that my Li family is afraid of his Zhu family? In the past, I saw Zhu Chaofeng giving his family a little less respect. Is it true that the surnamed Li is afraid of him?" Li Ying took two steps and looked in a blink of an eye. He was standing outside, but he was so angry that he strode outside and ordered: "Go and order 300 people and come with me to meet Zhu Yongqing and see what he wants to do!"

"This...is." Du Xing's lips moved, knowing that he could not defeat the tough-tempered Li Ying, so he had to order three hundred tough bankers and wait for Li Ying in front of Zhuangzi with swords and guns.

Not long after, Li Ying, who was wearing a scarlet robe, gold chain mail, and a phoenix-winged helmet, was holding a steel gun inlaid with silver dots and five flying knives on his waist. He trotted up to him on a white horse. He glanced at Du Xing, who was also wearing armor, nodded, pointed his spear forward: "Follow me out of the village!"

Du Xing quickly got on his horse, and more than [-] dealers who knew how to ride closely followed the owner in front, and the dealers behind quickly followed.

Speaking of which, these villagers have also fought with Zhujiazhuang and Hujiazhuang for water sources and fertile soil. If it hadn't been for the rise of Liangshan in the past few years to intimidate all parties, the three villages were afraid that Liangshan would borrow food and loot them and concluded a joint defense agreement among the three villages. Today, his three families are still fighting over these things, so he is not afraid of waiting. He clutches his sword and gun and leaves the village in silence. Anyway, every time there is a fight, there are many people in Zhujiazhuang.

On the opposite side, flags were fluttering, with the big flag with the word "blessing" in the middle. Behind it were the four flags of Luan, Wang, Wei, and Jin. Behind them, the Zhujiazhuang villagers were uniformly dressed in black, with swords, guns and shields in their hands, standing upright like pine trees, faintly visible. Extraordinary momentum.

Li Ying frowned immediately. They had been fighting with each other for a long time. When had they seen Zhujiazhuang look like this?These formations were not much worse than those of the officers and soldiers. Suppressing some uneasiness in his heart, Li Ying raised his gun and pointed at the opposite side: "Zhu Sanlang, why did you lead people to block the gate of my village? How dare you forget that your brother and I have a life-and-death relationship." , do you vow to work together to protect the village?"

In sight, a young man wearing purple and gold fish scale armor was riding out of the battle. Fang Tian held his halberd behind him and pointed at Li Ying: "Officially, it was because of the agreement between the three families that I did not attack Zhuangzi. You said that your family and I are friends of life and death. , vowing to work together, that’s just right, we are now about to sweep away Liangshan and catch the bandits together, why don’t Brother Li go with me?”

Li Ying's expression suddenly changed, and he said in surprise and anger: "Are you trying to blackmail my Lijiazhuang? Is Liangshan so easy to mess with?"

"Thieves are called coercion." Zhu Yongmang held the reins in his hand and said calmly: "I sincerely invite you. I hope Brother Li will fulfill the agreement between our two families."

"You are just wishful thinking. Mr. Li will never be coerced by you and others!"

Among the categorical words, Zhu Yongqing whispered softly: "Hui Niang is right, you won't agree."

He turned his head and said, "Uncle Wang, please take action."

"It should have been this way!"

When the voice fell, Wang Tianba, who was riding a black horse and wearing black armor, with his hair disheveled and tied up with a silver hairband, galloped out of the battle with a pen and his thick eyebrows and beard were full of fierceness: "Wuna man, come here Die!"

Li Ying was immediately furious when he heard this. He spurred his horse forward and shouted, "You are rude, barbarian. Let me show you my methods."

He kicked the horse's belly with both legs, and the white horse suddenly rushed towards the opposite side. The horse's hooves flew down and stones jumped out.

Under the gaze of the dealers on both sides, the dust brought up by the horses' hooves filled people's field of vision. There was a crisp sound, and the flying stone hit an unknown weapon. Someone looked down and saw a stone rolling to the ground.

The next moment, the two war horses collided fiercely.

The strange-shaped pen whipped out a semicircle with a roar, and there was a loud bang. The handle was smashed down like a big fist holding a stroke. The terrifying force pressed the point steel gun to bend. On the other side of his sight, Li Ying looked at His face turned red with a hint of purple, and the muscles in his arms bulged. He yelled "Ah——", pushed forward fiercely, pushed back the pen Lao that was pressed against him, clamped his legs around the horse's belly, and said "Drink" again. Ah!" With loud shouts, he aimed a shot at Wang Tianba. For a while, there was a constant banging sound, and the field was filled with the sound of metal collisions.

"You're not good at this!" After dodging several stabs from the steel gun, Wang Tianba's rough face was full of sarcasm while the horse was standing still. He swung his pen fiercely and swept towards the opponent's steel gun.

“We won’t know until after the fight!”

bang——

Bi Lao collided with the steel gun with a force that is rare for ordinary people. In mid-air, sparks flew out from the clashing weapons. Wang Tianba danced his arms, and it was like the top of a big fist flipped, and a harsh sound came out against the barrel of the gun. Scratching sound.

On the horse opposite, Li Ying's pupils shrank, he leaned back almost subconsciously, and flicked the spear in his hand to flick away the pen he clicked.

Although Wang Tianba is a man of great strength, his martial arts are actually famous for their versatility. However, ordinary people often cannot take a few of his moves, and are beaten by those simple and sharp swings in unspeakable suffering. Few people can pass through it. Several rounds.

In an instant, the deflected pen Lao was swung with force, and Qimen's weapon was already around his shoulders while waving his arms, and he swung out again with the sound of whistling wind.

Li Ying, who was on the opposite side, saw that the situation was not good, and suddenly raised his gun to the side. The metal and iron collided, and there was a bang. Pu Tiandiao only felt his arms go numb, and half of the armor leaves shook and trembled.

A sinister smile appeared on Wang Tianba's lips. He turned his palm over and hooked the pen with the gun barrel. The muscles in his arms bulged and he suddenly exerted force: "Let go!"

Li Ying only felt a strong force coming from him. He could no longer hold the gun barrel in his hand. When he let go, the skin of his palm was burned by the friction of the metal gun body. When he looked at it, his palm was red and there was a trace of blood flowing out.

The gun rolled and flew out of the vicinity of Bi Lao, and was inserted into the soil with a thud. It shook a few times and gradually stopped. Zhuang Yong on the other side of Zhujiazhuang suddenly cheered and shouted, and those who could not see clearly behind quickly hurriedly When asking the question, the dominant man over there sneered, and knocked lightly on the horse's belly with his legs. The moment the horse stepped forward, he opened his big hands and suddenly pulled Li Ying, who had lost his weapon, and pressed him on the horse's back.

Zhu Yongqing had already returned to the battle, and when he saw this scene he couldn't help but said to Luan Tingfang: "Master said that Uncle Wang is brave, I still don't believe it, but today I saw that he is really powerful. This Li Ying is famous for his bravery in Sanzhuang, and he is no match for me."

"Brother Wang's kung fu is naturally good." Luan Tingfang gently touched the mane of the war horse, looked at Wang Tianba who came back from beating the horse, and Du Xing who was shocked and angry opposite him, and chuckled: "In this way, it can be compared with the Li family The people are discussing the matter of sending troops together."

The apprentice had a sneer on his face: "Master said, I will discuss it with Mr. Li and Mr. Du. I believe they will agree this time."

In the cold wind, several people sitting on their horses looked at the captured members with sneers on their faces.

……

At the same time, Hujiazhuang in the west, outside the village.

"Zhu Biao, in the past you boasted about being a hero and said you wanted to level Liangshan, but I still looked down upon you. Why did you bring people to my house to block the door today? Is it possible that you are just a liar?!"

A crisp voice echoed under the blue sky. The person speaking was a female general. She had a pretty face, slender eyebrows, and skin that was as frosty as snow. She was dressed in a bright red Shu brocade robe with a hundred phoenixes, covered with gold fish scales, and a touch of red. Luo Mo has a silver silk embroidered phoenix on his forehead, white jade hands, holding the sun and moon swords. He is the famous female hero in Hujiazhuang, Hu Sanniang, who is one foot tall and green. Now he is sitting upright on the horse, raising the sword in one hand to question the young man in front of him. .

The third son of the Zhu family over there blushed, his lips twitched twice and he looked away. Three feet away, Yunlong saw this and rode forward, saying loudly: "I came here just to suppress the bandits. I heard that you are waiting for Sanzhuang." I have an alliance with you, and since I am here to borrow troops, I would like to ask the third lady to make it convenient for you."

"Who are you?"

The girl on the horse frowned. Her father and brother had not come back from their business trip for the past two days, but they didn't want to encounter such a thing. What a trouble!

"I'm Yunlong, the son of Yun Tianbiao, the commander-in-chief of Qingzhou's army and horses." The injured Yunlong bowed his hands and saluted. His eyes were much better, but they were still a little red and swollen and could not be fully opened.

"How can an outsider interfere with our Sanzhuang affairs? Let the person named Zhu come out and explain clearly." Feng Dao pointed, Hu Sanniang's eyes were filled with anger: "If you want to stand up for the three of them, you first open your eyes. Say it again."

"I..." The smile on Yunlong's face froze, and he covered his eyes with his hands. He heard two faint sneers in his ears, but Zhu Long and Zhu Hu were disgusted that these people were helping their two uncles seize power. Now they heard someone He couldn't help but laugh out loud at the ridicule.

"What a shrew, you really have sharp teeth and a sharp mouth!" Fu Yu from behind saw his Shangguan Xiaolangjun being humiliated. He couldn't help but roared and rushed forward with a spear in hand.

Hu Sanniang's pink face turned red with anger. She patted Rouge Ma and swung her swords to greet him: "You and the other six grown men will be heroes!" Zhu Long and Zhu Hu turned their faces away when their faces turned red. Zhu Biao kept his head down and said nothing during the whole process, while Yunlong and Pang Yi in the distance frowned, secretly thinking that they would have a sharp mouth because the woman was difficult to deal with.

Fu Yu's expression also changed when he heard this, and the two horses were approaching each other. He was fierce in his heart, lowered the spear in his hand, and used all his strength to stab the woman opposite him in the abdomen.

Seeing this, Hu Sanniang was not afraid. The knife in her hand hit the side of the gun head with a bang. When the gun body was tilted, before Fu Yu could adjust it, she held the handle of the knife upside down with her other hand and pushed it against the gun shaft, and immediately put the gun away. , then the two knives tilted slightly and slid towards the opposite figure against the gun shaft. The sharp friction between the blade and the gun shaft made the scalp numb.

On the horse opposite, Fu Yu's pupils shrank. He never expected that this female general would be so extravagant. It was also he who despised this young man. He used too much force and couldn't take back his hand. Seeing the two knives cutting into his palms, he quickly let go of the gun. He raised his arm, and the blade passed under his palm. The cold edge made the man's hair stand on end.

In the Zhujiazhuang formation, Pang Yi's expression changed when he saw this: "No, I'm going to lose." He rushed out with his horse and sword, and went straight to Hu Sanniang to kill him. At the same time, the woman holding the two swords over there turned the blades and struck the back of the sword. Cut Fu Yu on the chest.

"dismount!"

Amidst the cries, the commander of the Qingzhou army was beaten so hard that he lost his breath. His strong figure was knocked backwards and fell off his horse.

"Bitch watch the knife."

Pang Yi, who came from behind, looked livid. Fu Yu had been staying with Yunlong some time ago and treated him with great courtesy, which made him very happy. Now, seeing the man falling from his horse, he felt angry and wanted to chop Hu Sanniang off his horse with a knife. go.

"You are a great man, helping the tyrants to do evil! How can my aunt be afraid of you?"

When Hu Sanniang saw that she had defeated one of them, her expression suddenly became excited, and she moved forward with her swords. Pang Yi shouted angrily, and using the sword to grow faster than the horse, he bent the sword and swung it round, slashing at the opposite side fiercely with a whistling sound.

On the other side of the field of vision, Hu Sanniang repeated her old trick and slashed at the side of the broadsword. With a bang of metal clashing, the broadsword was unable to bear any force and was knocked away.

"It's a small skill, how could I fall for your trick!"

In the roar, Qu Dao turned around the veteran's waist and slashed at the opposite woman from the other side. Hu Sanniang didn't check for a moment, so she had to grit her teeth and catch the blade. There was a loud noise, and Qu Dao was slashing on the opposite blade. , the huge force shook the woman's arms to the point of numbness.

Pang Yi's eyes flashed, and he saw the pained expression on the face opposite him. He knew that this woman was definitely not superior in terms of strength, so he quickly took up his stance and slashed hard, forcing Hu Sanniang to catch his blade.

dang dang dang-

The sound of metal clashing continued. Hu Sanniang gritted her teeth. Her hand wielding the knife slowed down visibly. She shouted at Pang Yi from the opposite side: "Girl, you are no match for me. Get down quickly!"

"Don't think about it!"

Biting her lips tightly, there was a trace of resentment on the girl's stubborn face. The veteran opposite coldly snorted: "If you don't know the heart of a good person, then don't blame me!"

The broadsword swung violently and hit the knife in her right hand accurately. Hu Sanniang could no longer bear the strength and immediately let go. The single knife flew out in a swirl. Before Hu Sanniang could react, the overturned knife suddenly hit the girl's waist and abdomen. .

"what!"

With a scream, Hu Sanniang fell from the horse with her hands covering her stomach. The three Zhu brothers behind her suddenly changed their colors. Zhu Biao straightened his sword and struck the horse into battle: "Stop! Don't kill her!"

"I never kill women!" Pang Yi turned his knife upside down and stroked his beard. He glanced at the young man who was anxiously getting off his horse. He looked at him coldly as he checked the woman's injuries on the ground. He shook his head and said, "This woman has nothing to do with her." No, I'm using the back of the knife, so I'd better take her back first, we still need the help of the brave people from Hujiazhuang."

Feeling the breath of the girl's nose with his fingers, Zhu Biao breathed a sigh of relief. He checked her abdomen again and found that there was no blood. He heard the words of the old man behind him, moved his hands for a moment, nodded gloomily and said: "I I know, you don’t need to remind me.”

"I have good intentions!" Pang Yi had some displeasure on his face. He glanced at Zhu Biao who was carrying his back, snorted coldly, tightened the reins and walked towards Fu Yu. He dismounted and checked, and saw that the person was just unconscious, so he couldn't help but raise his hand. He greeted Zhuang Yong from behind: "Here are two people, take Commander Fu to the back."

Mounted his horse and turned back to Yunlong: "In this case, we will wait until the head of the Hu family comes back."

The young man who narrowed one eye slightly nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Master. I'll go talk to the Hu family across the way."

Under the light of day, a horse was running towards the front of the formation on the opposite side, and a voice sounded.

……

Within two days, first Du Xing from Lijiazhuang came to Zhujiazhuang with 500 brave men from Lijiazhuang, bringing their own swords, guns, arrows and shields. Then they brought in countless grain and grass, and then they replaced their own members, and only the Zhu family members did not let them go. Pu Tiandiao and Ghostface'er went back and left the two of them in the village, saying that they were useful in the fight against Liangshan. However, they dispersed the five hundred Zhuang Yong and incorporated them into Zhujiazhuang's team.

In the middle of Mengdong, the father and son of the Hu family returned home after being away from home. They were shocked to learn that their daughter had been taken away by Zhujiazhuang. Hu Cheng, the Flying Tiger, hurriedly ran to the Zhu family to ask for someone. After some conversation, he had to bring 500 people here. In the village, like the Li family, the Zhu family also detained people, and Zhuang Yong dispersed them into teams, which made the old lady of the Hu family anxious. However, there was nothing the Zhu family could do, so they had to let this group of people Do it, and just pray in your heart that your children will not be hurt.

For a time, Zhujiazhuang was building up its troops and training endlessly. In the winter, the shouts of killing echoed on Dulong Gang.

……

The lead-blue clouds were extremely low, and in the water below, the cold and humid air filled the air. In the undulating forests of Liangshan Mountain, all the people coming and going were wearing thick winter clothes.

The brazier was burning in the room, and the aroma of pine oil spread in the room with the warmth. Lu Bu sat behind the table and looked at the summary of the accounts of the past few days. He put down the book in his hand for a long time and said: "Winter is the most difficult time every year." At that time, I used to hear people say that people passed the winter as if they had passed the test, and I didn't think it was true. But now it seems that it is the case. If you don't pay attention, some people will die of cold and hunger."

"Brother is right." Liu Min, wearing thick clothes and a big cloak, sat across from him and rubbed his hands on the stove. "Fortunately, Fang Xuedu was smart this year and purchased a lot of winter supplies in advance. Otherwise, everyone up and down the mountain would be in trouble." sad."

"Thank you for your hard work. There are many men who fight and kill in the village, but few of them can help with people's livelihood and civil affairs." He sighed, and the tall figure picked up the heater and put it on his lap: "I don't know. When will some people come who can help?"

Liu Min smiled and said: "Brother, don't worry, there will always be something."

dong dong——

The knock on the door interrupted the conversation between the two. Yu Cheng opened the door, and his head and face, which were slightly red from the cold, came in: "Brother, Military Advisor Qiao is here."

"Let him come in." Lu Bu smiled, looked at the Taoist who came in and said, "How long has it been and you are still so polite? I told you that you don't need to be informed when you come."

Qiao Lie did not answer, but hurriedly walked in and whispered: "Brother, there is a big event. The army is preparing to attack us again."

The smile disappeared, and he frowned and looked at the opposite side: "When? Who?"

"Perhaps next spring, the leader will be Qingzhou General Manager Yun Tianbiao, and there will be a few soldiers to assist. Now Brother Zhu Fu is trying to find out who they are, and there will be accurate information soon."

"Let him wait and inquire more carefully. In addition, notify the various ministries to prepare for war."

The low voice echoed in the study, and the two military strategists in the village opposite looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

……

In the latter part of this month, two men who traveled from Bianliang, Tokyo to Cangzhou arrived at the prison camp, and then took the supervisor into the secret room to whisper. (End of chapter)
