Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

Chapter 298 The Road to Liangshan
woohoo-

Some turbid wine was poured into a large porcelain bowl. The sloshing wine rushed out of the edge of the bowl and spilled onto the table. Alcoholic gas filled the air, and the aroma of barbecue and pickles mixed with the table quickly penetrated the nose.

"Come, Brother Shan, we won't get to know each other until we fight. Let's eat this bowl of wine."

Zhu Jing held up the wine bowl with both hands and smiled brightly. The second master who was accompanying him also picked up the wine bowl with a smile on his face. He didn't look like he had fought with Shan Shiqi before. "Brother Shan is good at martial arts. I don't know." Why was his reputation so low before? It wasn’t because we had been watching the official documents from the sea and didn’t know about Xie’s existence. Brother Wu Su, thank you Brother Shan for showing mercy.”

In the Juyi Hall, minions would come up from time to time to put down the prepared meals, mostly roasted mountain delicacies. Shan Shiqi looked at the increasing number of dishes on the table, smiled bitterly and picked up the wine bowl: "Two Brother, I've been praised too much. I've never been around in the world, so no one knows. If I hadn't gotten angry with someone and hurt someone's life this time, at this time... Alas!"

He sighed, but after all he was a young master who had seen how his father dealt with people, and then he braced himself and said, "It's just fate that I met the two brothers."

Zhu Jing laughed loudly: "It's fate, so I have to drink two more bowls, go ahead!"

"Do it!" "Do it!"

The three of them clinked their wine bowls together, drank at the same time, then opened the bottom of the bowl, and laughed at the same time. Shan Shiqi didn't see it when he lowered his head to pick up the vegetables. Zhu Jing was looking at Wu Su, and the short and sturdy man over there nodded. , Shan Shiqi raised his head and was chewing the food in his mouth. Zhu Jing coughed dryly: "Ahem! Brother Shan, speaking of which, there is something else I want Brother Shan to agree to."

"Ok?"

Shan Shiqi raised his head and looked over, and saw the two people opposite him standing up from their positions, walking to the side and kneeling down: "We and I have been hanging out in this small village since last year, and have not made much progress. What we have seen today We admire Brother Shan's martial arts very much, and are willing to give up the position of leader of the village to Brother Shan, and we are willing to attach ourselves to Jiwei and follow Yu Ke."

Shan Shiqi was stunned, quickly swallowed the food in his mouth, stretched out his sleeves to wipe his mouth: "How can this make me... my little brother He De sit in the position of the leader of the village? Don't do this. Get up quickly."

The two people over there bowed and said, "I really mean it sincerely. Please allow Brother Shan to agree."

"This……"

Shan Shiqi looked hesitant, but he was also a little moved. Now that he was alive, he was captured by the government. During this period of time, he was running around in the mountains and fields, with no food and accommodation. He often had to fight with wild beasts in the mountains, making him sweat all over. The clothes were all rotten, especially since there was no place to bathe, which was really uncomfortable for a person who had never experienced hardship since childhood. Besides, he couldn't enter the city, and there was no place to spend the money his mother gave him.

If not...

Are weeds falling here?

There is also a place where you can wash yourself off and a bed to sleep on at night.

Shan Shiqi suddenly felt itchy and uncomfortable in his mind. It seemed that every part of his body was urging him to agree quickly. He pursed his lips tightly. The rich man finally obeyed. Xinyi nodded: "So, I agree, get up quickly."

Zhu Jing and Wu Su were overjoyed and worshiped quickly: "I have met my brother."

The three of them sat down again. Wu Su raised the wine jar and filled the three of him with wine again. He continued to drink with his newly recognized brother with a beaming face. Zhu Jing said happily: "Nowadays, there are more extravagant people like brother in the village. , it will definitely make a difference.”

Shan Shiqi drank the wine, held the dish and looked across the way: "Are there many hills in Longde Mansion?" He put the dish into his mouth, chewed it, and looked at the two of them curiously.

"There used to be a lot." Wu Su sighed, picked up the bowl and took a sip: "Since I visited Liangshan a few years ago, this village has lost a lot."

Ok?
Shan Shiqi's hand holding the wine paused, his eyes looked inexplicably to the opposite side, and he slowly picked up the wine bowl and took a sip.

"That's right." Zhu Jing also took a sip of wine and continued: "Liangshan came from Jingdong. He first defeated Baodu Mountain, the original No. [-] stronghold here, recruited the three heroes there, and then entered Weisheng. The army defeated the powerful Tian Hu, and since then these two places have been in bad luck."

"Why is this?"

"Not an official yet..."

Wu Su glanced at Zhu Jing and couldn't help but interject. Seeing his gloomy expression, he shut his mouth again. This made Shan Shiqi even more curious and couldn't help but urge: "Why not an official? A government? He'll wait for it." What happened?"

"Let me speak for myself." Zhu Jing drank the wine in one gulp: "It's an officer. Previously, a new training general named Tian Zimao came to Delong Mansion. This man is a good officer, although the training is more difficult. , but it was all for the sake of the soldiers below, and the brothers all accepted his favor. As time passed, General Tian felt that the soldiers below should see blood, so he pulled them out to suppress the bandits and beat them twice. We won the battle and destroyed several bandit villages, which made this place much quieter."

The rich man opposite looked at the young man who was speaking strangely, opened his mouth, and finally asked: "So, Brother Zhu is..."

"We were an army officer." Wu Su chuckled: "They came to surround and suppress me."

"How could that happen..."

The unfinished words made Zhu Jing smile bitterly: "It's all because of the death of General Tian..."

He reached for the wine jar and poured the wine, raised his hand and drank it all in one gulp: "Actually, General Tian was not in good health at first, so he held on for a while to train the sergeants of Longde Mansion. Later, when he surrounded and suppressed the bandit camp, he actually couldn't get up. It was the commander below who led the team to do this. At the beginning of last summer, General Tian was seriously ill and unconscious and could not continue to serve as director. A new training general came up, and my superior officer was also replaced by a relative of that guy..." Again After drinking a bowl of wine, the young man said with red eyes: "One month, just one month, General Tian's hard-trained army has returned to its original state, even worse. His relative took away my credit, even They accused me of being a bandit and wanted to kill me. Fortunately, I had good friends in the army who tipped me off, otherwise I might not have known how I died."

Wu Su patted Zhu Jing's arm and said with a wry smile: "Even so, he was covered in bruises when I found him, and it took a lot of effort to save him."

Shan Shiqi looked at Zhu Jing's face with some pity, and Wu Su's voice continued: "It's true that we have bad luck. I was also the grass that fell last year. If it had been one year earlier, I would have been recruited by Liangshan and went to the Great University. Stronghold."

"Liangshan..." The rich man looked up at his newly recognized brother: "I want to say, do I have a way?"

"Ah."

The two nodded, their thoughts slowed down for a moment, and they suddenly looked up at Shan Shiqi: "Brother, what are you talking about? Is there any way?"

"I have a distant relative who lives in Liangshan. He wrote a letter to me and me a few years ago to show off that he joined the Liang Shanshui Army." Shan Shiqi curled his lips disdainfully, and slowly raised his hand to touch the stubble on his chin, his eyes slightly twitching. Narrowed: "I didn't join the gang before and never thought of it. Now that you two talked about it, I think of it."

Zhu Jing and Wu Su were overjoyed: "Now that we are here, we will pack up and go to Liangshan."

"There's no rush." ​​Shan Shiqi chuckled and took a sip of wine: "At this time, you and I are just three people with more than a hundred people, why don't we go and make babies for others?"

"What does that mean..."

"It's better to raise money together to do business. What do you and me mean in a big village?" The rich man's eyes flashed, and he asked: "Longde Mansion... we can't be the only ones in the village, right?" ?”

The two people on the other side looked at each other, and Wu Su said in a deep voice: "There is not much left of the green forest here after Liangshan's reorganization and the army's siege. There is only a small village to the south. The leader of the village is called Yun Zongwu, and he has some skills."

Zhu Jing nodded: "My younger brother once wanted to invite him to join us for a reunion, but the relationship was so tight that he couldn't leave the camp when he saw the two of us."

Shan Shiqi pondered for a while, tore off a chicken leg and took a bite, then shook his head and said, "Not enough."

Wu Su thought for a while: "Then there is only Jinzhou nearby. There are a few green forest guys there who are somewhat famous."

Zhu Jing also thought for a while and said, "My good friend Zhe Mo from the army can also come. He is also skilled in martial arts. I heard he was bullied by the superior officers before. Maybe he also has the idea of ​​leaving the army."

"In this case, let's take down the person named Yun first, and then go to Jinzhou to have a look." Shan Shiqi patted the table, and a smile appeared on Fang's face: "If we treat more people like this, we won't be able to wait until we go to Dazhai. Being treated like a filler."

"Everything is up to my brother."

How can Zhu Jing and Wu Su have any objections? There is a way to go to Dazhai to join the gang, which is something they can't ask for. Not to mention that Shan Shiqi wants to recruit more people before going there, even if he wants to disband the village and go.

As long as he can take himself with him!

For a while, the atmosphere between the three people seemed to become more heated. It was not until midnight that Shan Shiqi, who was a little drunk, was sent to the best room in the village by the two of them, and endured the rich family who had not bathed for many days. Unable to bear it any longer, I called for someone to make hot soup and took a quick bath before going to sleep.

The next day, the bandits who had been sleeping all night were awakened. Under the leadership of the new village leader, they headed south with murderous intent.

……

At this time, Lu Bu and others in Liangshan did not know that there was someone in the distance who wanted to join the army. They were just digesting the gains after the war step by step. First, they selected strong men among the young and strong to add to the infantry. With the supply of food and drink, some The veteran who survived the war told about the rewards he received from the bandits, which made the poor men's eyes turn red, and they wished that the army would set out tomorrow to break through the two state capitals.

In a lively atmosphere, the infantry army was setting up a new military camp. The envying horse army wished they could replace it with their own bodies. Unfortunately, although they achieved something this time, the number of horses they obtained was too small, only enough for half a battalion. Lu Bu was troubled for a while, feeling like he was lacking everything.

The biggest gain from this battle was nearly [-] divine arm bows. Combined with the number obtained before, it would be enough for a battalion. There were also discussions on the mountain. I wonder if Lu Bu wanted to equip several battalions separately. Form a separate one.

After a few days, a new task assignment was distributed, and it was time for Lu Bu and others to set off.

　Shan Shiqi: Fan Ben, the leader of Tian Hu’s command, fought with Lin Chong for more than fifty years, regardless of the outcome. Lin Chong secretly cheered, but died at the hands of Feng Tai. Xiao Ke feels that his image of Fan Ben is more popular among people, here is No more simplified versions.

　　Wu Su: The leader of Tian Hu's men, with strong martial arts skills and one of the eight generals guarding Huguan. He was killed by Lin Chong.

　　Zhu Jing: Together with the eight generals who guarded Huguan, he defeated Zhang Qing in more than 20 rounds. When chasing the fleeing Zhang Qing, he was hit by a locust stone and fell from his horse. After the fall of Houhuguan, he died at the hands of Tang Bin. He did not take the Jianben.

　　PS: I have only had a chance to take a breath today. My colleagues have been by my side, and I have accepted it. I can only get 3000 today.
