Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

The moonlight was hazy, and from time to time there were scattered dark clouds drifting past. The streets that used to be quiet were much more lively today. From time to time, there were servants on horseback running around, and some lively people on the street opened their windows and looked out.

Amidst the crackling sound of torches, sergeants in scarlet uniforms were running along the streets following the generals on horseback. From time to time, there was the crisp sound of soldiers and armor clashing, and the rumble of footsteps could not dissipate the doubts in my heart. I wonder why this red guy is... Enter the city at night.

Inside the county government office, the central hall was brightly lit. The county magistrate, who was wearing official robes, was walking in circles under the hall with his hands behind his back. He would stop and look outside from time to time. When there was no movement, he started to draw circles with his feet.

In the quiet night, the sound of footsteps came from the front. The county magistrate took two steps and then stopped. After thinking for a moment, he hurriedly walked to the seat of the subordinate clerk, went to the bookshelf to get a book, and lifted up his robe. He sat down, opened the pages of the book, twirled his beard with his hand and looked at it by the candlelight. His eyes looked towards the door from time to time, but he didn't pay attention to what he was holding.

Not long after, steady footsteps sounded, and two strong men walked in. Seeing the county magistrate sitting upright and reading a book, they hurriedly came forward and bowed: "Young general Wei Dingguo (Shan Tinggui) has met his old parents."

Only then did the magistrate remove the book in his hand, put it next to his hand and said, "The two generals are here." He pointed to the seat next to him and said, "Sit down and talk."

Wei and Shan looked at each other, walked to the side and sat down together: "Why did my parents call me here so urgently?"

"Oh~" The county magistrate smiled: "It's not a big deal." He then told about today's report and even the discovery of the Liangshan flag, and finally said: "You two team training, this is what happened. Do you two have a charter? ?”

Wei Dingguo and Shan Tinggui looked at each other in shock. Although they knew that there must be something important when they met so late, they did not expect that it would be such a fateful thing. The two of them bared their teeth and clicked their tongues. After a while, Wei Dingguo said: " Old parents, this matter is big or small, what do you mean?"

The county magistrate stroked his beard and said: "As the saying goes, 'Eat the king's salary and share the king's worries.' This Liangshan Mountain is now fierce. It can be said to be the source of disasters in Shandong and Hebei. It must be eliminated."

Shan Tinggui's face twitched, and Wei Dingguo frowned: "What do you mean, my parents... I and I will lead the army to kill Zengtou City?"

"Of course." The county magistrate nodded: "The former Prime Minister's words came out, asking all localities to be vigilant about Liangshan and find ways to destroy them. Don't worry about the court. Now this group of thieves left Jingdong Road and came to our Lingshan. There are not many people in the state, so it will be easier for us to attack him than to huddle in the water and depression."

Seeing that the two of them looked unwilling, he lowered his eyes and said, "Liangshan is raising its banner here with such a high profile. If I don't do anything, I will be reported or involved in a book later, but this county may be fine. You two team training It's going to be big trouble."

Wei Dingguo clenched his hand, and veins appeared on the back of his hand. Shan Tinggui touched him with his leg and said, "What my parents said is that we are willing to lead troops on an expedition. I just hope my parents will tell him." How many people are there and how is the situation?"

The county magistrate clapped his hands and stood up: "Okay, the two generals are willing to go out, and the county will order to prepare food and grass for you two."

After he was about to leave, Wei Dingguo stood up quickly: "Old parents, what's the situation in Liangshan now?"

"Hey~" the county magistrate waved his hand without looking back: "This county is not from Liangshan, how can we know what a bird they are? You two will know when you lead the troops, and you can control them when they come across the border. , there won’t be many people.”

He tilted his head slightly and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Are you two regiment trainers trying to disobey orders?"

Wei and Shan had no choice but to clasp their hands and say, "I don't dare. The two of us will prepare for the battle right now."

"Good luck to you." The county magistrate turned around and walked out: "Don't let Liangshan slip away, otherwise the public will be unhappy when he hears about it, and the county doesn't know what will happen." He looked back at the two of them: "You two Please retreat first. Orders and provisions will be sent to the military camp later." "Yes."

The two clasped their fists, then turned around and walked out. After leaving the county government office, Wei Dingguo punched the wall beside him: "Zhi Niang thief, this big turban will ask you and me to lead the troops to intercept the Liangshan thief. , I will take your life and mine as human life."

Shan Tinggui had a sneer on his lips: "Huh, Brother Wei, I don't know if he saw the book in that guy's hand when he just entered."

Wei Dingguo turned around angrily: "I've never seen this before, is there anything wrong with it?"

"He was holding a copy of the population records of Lingzhou counties, but he was shaking his head while reading there." Shan Tinggui stretched out his feet and kicked away the stones at his feet: "It's really insulting, do you think you and I are white people who can't read a single Chinese character? "

Shenhuo beside him frowned, and just waved the leader to enter the county government office. He and Shan Tinggui mounted their horses, surrounded by soldiers, and urged their mounts to run forward to see if there was anyone around them. The outsider said: "It is well known in the government and the public that the misfortune between the prime minister and the prime minister is not good. This man is eager to find a thief and submit a petition to the prime minister. Does he think he is unaware of his little thoughts?"

General Shengshui nodded: "No one can say otherwise." He leaned closer to Wei Dingguo and whispered: "My friends in Beijing sent a message saying that the people recommended by the Prime Minister were not reused. One of them is an old acquaintance of mine. He is the inspector of Pudong, the Three Kingdoms After the famous general, such a great talent was not noticed by the concubine, but was just ignored. Therefore, the public minister became angry and ordered everyone to find ways to destroy the Liangshan bandits in order to steal the concubine's credit."

"Is Liangshan easy to suppress?" Wei Dingguo shook his head and sighed: "The great thief of the country is in front of us, but it is a pity that the two husbands cannot cooperate sincerely."

"You and I are gentle, so it's better not to cause trouble."

Talking softly, the two rode into the military camp. They could not gather the generals that night. So early the next morning, the two gathered their troops and horses, and then ordered the officers and soldiers in Lingzhou City, making up 3,000 people. Just waiting for the arrival of food, fodder and military orders to set off.

Unexpectedly, the left waiter did not come, and the right waiter did not come. I sent someone to urge me, but someone reported that my old parents were already collecting food and grass.

They had no choice but to wait until it was past noon and the time was not right before the grain and grass rolled into the military camp. After hearing the news, the two people hurriedly went out and watched the grain truck drive in front of them. Wei Dingguo blinked. Standing on tiptoes and looking behind, he stared at the leader and asked, "Is this the end? Where are the rest of the supplies and weapons?"

Nadu first looked around, and then felt a little confused: "General Wei, General Shan, there is only so much food. My husband wants you two to be extremely careful and don't waste it."

"I'm wasting a bird!" Wei Dingguo jumped to his feet and said, "I'm going to suppress the bandits. Do you understand the bandits?" He pointed at less than ten cars and said, "Who can eat with this little food and grass!"

The leader gulped and said, "I don't know, general. If you have any questions, you can ask your parents."

"Straight mother-in-law!" Wei Dingguo whipped the grain cart with his hand, and the head immediately said: "I'll forgive you, the regiment commander, but I have to go back and report to my parents. I wish Xie success in suppressing the bandits."

After saying that, he picked up the reins and ran out of the military camp quickly. Wei Dingguo pointed at a cart of food: "Is this guy stupid? I'm waiting in front to fight, and he's waiting behind and pushing his hind legs to let you and me How to deal with this? Is this food enough for two days?"

Shan Tinggui also looked livid: "This person must have stolen the extra food and grass! Damn Shuo Shu!" (End of Chapter)
