Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

Tong Mansion.

The gate of the palace, which used to be bustling with people, was tightly blocked today. Nearly a hundred knights were standing outside the door with their horses. Their red and crimson military uniforms were covered with dust. When passers-by walked by, nearly a hundred people turned to stare. , stopped immediately, hesitated for a few seconds, turned around and found another way back.

"Tokyo is still rich, and this outfit... tsk tsk!"

"It's really good. How many people can the Sa family kill in Xixia to buy one?"

"Jie Shuai is surrounded by noble people. No matter how much you kill or rob, you won't be able to get them."

The guards standing at the door couldn't help but glance sideways at the knights over there. The joints of the hands holding the handles of the swords were a little white, for fear that these people would suddenly rush over. A bunch of savage red guys.

"Young generals Liu Yanqing (Liu Guangguo) and (Liu Guangshi) have met Jieshuai."

In the hall, Tong Guanda was sitting on his seat. After the three people had bowed, he quickly stood up and came over to help him. He looked at the other person's black and white hair and patted the other person's arms: "General Liu, it's been a hard journey."

"It's such a hard journey." Liu Yanqing, with some wrinkles on his face, laughed loudly: "Just rushing on the road is nothing to us, the sons of the Western Army."

"That's right." Tong Guan photographed him with a smile, looked at the two men behind him and said with a smile: "The two young masters are as good as the generals and tigers, and the Sa family remembers... General Liu also has a young master. Bar?"

The two young men with similar looks behind Liu Yanqing winked at each other and looked very excited. The father in front nodded and said: "Jie Shuai really has a good memory. The young general is also a son with a great reputation. It's just that he is young and cannot be a Jie Shuai." It’s a pity that it’s so ineffective.”

"Hahaha——" Tong Guan couldn't help but laugh, pulling the Western Army warrior with his hand and walking aside to sit down: "This is for the country, not for the family."

"That's what Commander Jie said."

Liu Yanqing made a gesture of respect, and Tong Guan became more and more happy. He waved to the servants on the side: "Go and prepare a banquet. Prepare more wine and meat. The Sa family wants to drink with General Liu and his son."

What the general over there wanted to say, Tong Guan glanced at him and said: "Call all the sergeants outside, and the general will arrange for them to eat and drink. They are all men who have contributed to the country. Don't make people cold."

The Liu family, father and son, hurriedly clasped their fists and saluted: "Thank you, Marshal Jie, for your concern."

Tong Guan waved his hand and said with an impatient expression: "After all, you are also a killer under the Sa family. The Sa family has to take care of it. Thank you for coming and going."

Liu Yanqing and his two sons looked at each other and laughed. Tong Guan accompanied the three of them and said something. Not long after, a steward came to inform that the banquet was ready. The eunuch then stood up and pulled Liu Yanqing walked to the banquet and sat down.

Although it was early winter, there were a lot of seasonal vegetables. The cook of Tong Guan's family prepared a large amount of chicken and mutton according to his request, and also served it with river fresh food. It looked dazzling, allowing several men who were fighting in the army to look at the flowers. Blinded.

Tong Guan didn't laugh when he saw this, he just kept urging the three of them to eat and drink. The father and son were also willing to show their heroic side in front of him. They really ate large pieces of meat, drank heavily, swallowed the meat with the bones, and spilled the wine on their clothes. In front of him, the bold side of the warrior is fully displayed.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Tong Guan saw that the people eating and drinking on the other side had slowed down, and then he held the wine glass and said, "The reason why the Sa family sent General Liu here this time is to help the Sa family share their worries."

Liu Yanqing's face was slightly red from drinking, but he was not drunk at all. He was just tipsy. Hearing this, he finally came to the point. He quickly clasped his fists and said, "I am willing to serve the Commander-in-Chief."

When the two brothers eating and drinking next to them saw this, they also stopped and waited quietly for Tong Guan to speak.

"There are bandits on Jingdong Road who are entrenched in Liangshan. They broke into Yidu City a few days ago, plundered the state capital, and took away countless craftsmen and weapons." Tong Guan touched the short beard on his chin and said disdainfully: "That side of Jingdong Road The waste could not be cured and was repulsed many times. When the officials found out about this, they were furious and asked the Sa family to lead an army to destroy this group of thieves."

There was some understanding in the eyes of the Liu family and his son below, and the eunuch continued: "As you know, the Western Xia bandits have not been stable in recent days. The Sa family is worried about the national border and has decided not to go to the border to explore, but this Jingdong Road is I can’t go, General Liu——” The name he called out was slightly longer: “Would you like to share the worries of the Sa family?”

"What's the point of killing a chicken with a bull's knife!" A loud voice sounded. Liu Yanqing stood up suddenly and clenched his fists: "Commander Jie, don't worry and go north. The young general is willing to lead the army to attack the bandits and offer his head in front of Xun's throne."

"Okay -" Tong Guan slapped the table and laughed loudly: "The Sa family knows that General Liu can share worries, but there is no harm in just saying what you want."

Liu Yanqing stroked his beard with his hand, thought for a moment and said: "Commander, I don't know where to assign the general to the army?"

Tong Guan is also tone-deaf: "Most of them are soldiers from the Forbidden Army and local troops from Hebei and Shandong."

The standing middle-aged general frowned slightly: "It's not that the young general is looking down on the other comrades, but how can the imperial army be compared with us and the Western Army, let alone the local soldiers in several places."

"What do you mean..." The sitting eunuch narrowed his eyes slightly.

Liu Yanqing lowered his head and clasped his fists, and said in a strong tone: "Commander Jie, can you transfer some colleagues from the Western Army to Sajia? It doesn't need to be many, just one or two thousand. If there is anything, I won't leave the young general with no one to use."

"Hahaha -" Tong Guan then opened his eyes, laughed a few times and said, "This section will give you three thousand handsome men." He touched his chin and thought for a while: "The Yan'an Prefecture has recently recruited some brave men according to the order. , the Sa family will allocate it to you, so there should be four thousand."

Liu Yanqing quickly knelt down on one knee and saluted: "Thank you so much for your love, Commander-in-Chief!"

The two sons, Liu Guangguo and Liu Guangshi, did not dare to neglect and hurriedly left the table and knelt down.

"Get up!" Tong Guan frowned and waved his hand: "The man has gold under his knees, don't kneel down all the time, the Sa family won't like it."

Liu Yanqing still responded respectfully, and then stood up. Hearing the voice on the other side, he continued: "One more thing. Someone from Prime Minister Cai also recommended me. I think he wants to give him a thumbs up."

Liu Yanqing frowned, knowing that due to military and political matters, the two of them had changed from being close to each other in the past to being less able to deal with each other now. He looked at each other tentatively and said: "Jie Shuai means... ?”

"Marching and fighting can't be that simple." Tong Guan put an arm on the table, raised the wine glass in front of his eyes, and slowly turned it around: "How can two wild generals who come from nowhere be able to shoulder such a big responsibility?" .”

Looking at the opposite side, he said no more. Liu Yanqing immediately nodded vigorously: "Young general knows how to do it, Commander-in-Chief, don't worry."

……

Cai Jingfu.

Jing Chao, who was full of excitement, came to the mansion again. This time, it was Cai Jing, the public minister, who was recruiting for the second time. He was probably going to be assigned a position. He couldn't help but tremble slightly with excitement. While waiting, he saw an ugly man walking in. , this front-end user couldn't help being startled, and leaned back slightly.

But I saw that this man had yellow hair, curly hair tips, a flat nose and a big mouth, eyes as big as copper bells, more white than black, rough skin like an old farmer in the countryside, and if you look closely at the nostrils facing the sky, there are a few black hairs showing through.

When this man came in and saw Jing Chao, he was the first to come over and salute: "Brother Xuan Zan, there is a nickname Chou Junma, I wonder what I call this person?"

It's him? !

Jing Chao suddenly realized that it was no wonder he was so ugly. There were few people in the army in Bianliang City who had never heard of this man’s deeds. He immediately stood up and exchanged names. The two of them had nothing to say. They just sat there and smiled at each other. Waiting for Cai Jing's summons in his seat. (End of chapter)
