Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

Chapter 457: Things in the Spring Breeze
Cold, stuffy, uncomfortable...

who……

Are you squeezing my belly?

"Wu...cough...cough..."

Streams of seawater gushed out of his mouth, and the sound in Hu Yanqing's ears seemed to be blocked. He tried his best to open his eyes, and his blurred vision slowly focused, and the sound of someone speaking could be heard clearly.

"Wake up! Wake up! These birds are awake."

The man who spoke was the ugly man who killed people on the merchant ship. Hu Yanqing's mind was still a little confused. Before he could react, he heard a steady voice from the side: "Xiao Qi, don't laugh at him. He is a warm-hearted person."

Hu Yanqing turned his head to follow the sound, and saw a familiar face standing on one side, and suddenly he was shocked: "Are you that maritime merchant Ruan Er?"

The voice was hoarse and unpleasant, but Hu Yanqing didn't worry about it. Seeing the man who called himself Ruan Er squat down and chuckle, he cupped his hands without any respect: "Let me get to know you again, Ruan Xiaoer from Xia Liangshan." He pointed his head towards the side. The ugly man tilted his head: "That's my brother Ruan Xiaoqi."

The living Yama over there smiled and also cupped his hands.

"...it is Liangshan."

Hu Yanqing pushed his body hard and thought about it, but found that his hands had been tied. He looked up at the two strong men and heard Ruan Xiaoqi laughing and saying: "Don't bother, I will tie you up when I catch you." On."

thump—

Hu Yanqing gave up the struggle and knocked his head on the board of the ship. Only then did he realize that he was still at sea. He tried to turn his head to find his fleet, but he could only watch the black smoke rising from nowhere behind him dissipate in the sky. .

Thinking of this confrontation, it was obvious that the other party's strategy was not clever. He was just using money to mobilize the desires of his subordinates to force himself. If he could harden his heart and not care whether his subordinates benefited or not, he probably would not be in the situation he is in now. It's a pity that I still softened my heart at that time, and even I was not unmoved by the rewards...

The tied commander couldn't help but turn his head and look at Ruan Xiaoer: "You are a thief who is very good at planning, but how come you are so secretive in Liangshan?"

Ruan Xiaoer laughed: "I'm not afraid of you knowing what happened now. I don't have such ability, I'm just a brave person..." He patted his face lightly: "There's also a face like that that I don't have. Official documents of sea fishing."

Hu Yanqing was stunned: "Then who did I lose to this time?"

Ruan Xiaoqi stood up over there, and the shadow cast blocked the daylight in the sky: "It was brother Li Zhu who wanted to lure you with money, and the violent oil was recognized by brothers Kou Fan, and planned by brothers Li Bao and Wei Zhaode. It’s not unfair for you to lose to several heroes from Liangshan Mountain.”

"injustice……"

Hu Yanqing smiled bitterly and stared at the sky for a long time, speechless. The brothers Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaoqi ignored him when they saw this, and just ordered their men to prepare to evacuate the sea area.

The sea breeze was blowing, and the ships with sails hoisted were gathering and retreating. There were still a few officers and soldiers coming. The battle was not over yet. If you rush back now, you might be able to help the village.

……

Ji Chun, Ding Hai.

The sun has been hanging in the sky for days, and the county town named Leize is exposed to the sun. The city walls that have not been repaired for many years are eroded by the wind. Every time it blows, light dust is raised, and the clay between the bluestone bricks falls inadvertently.

The peace cart pulled by the animal horses creaked by, and the loess it brought up rose into the sky. Occasionally, the wheels jolted, and the figure driving the cart was knocked away from the shaft, and the sound of people shouting and horses neighing could be heard outside the city. The coachman who was waving his whip had an angry expression on his face, and the crackling sound of the whip resounded in the air. The nearby official road was crowded with waiting carriages, horses and porters, and there were no one knew how many people were spitting in the dust. The city walls Above, the guards standing in front of the city gate have serious faces, and they have a chilling feeling as if a battle is approaching.

Since he sent out troops, Liu Yanqing has really fulfilled his words and asked his youngest son Liu Guangshi to be a grain transport officer. This time he came to Leize County to fulfill his duty of urging grain. The most difficult thing for an army to travel is to have all the grain and grass available. Today's herdsmen Liu Yanqing, an "old man" who has been in the officialdom for many years, also knows very well what kind of virtue a big turban is.

Using one's own son to supervise the transportation of grain and grass was not only to temper the boy's temperament, but also to attract the attention of the various counties and towns. However, he was also worried that his son was not experienced enough and would be put off, so he sent his most capable general Gao Shixuan also sent it to him.

"Uncle Gao, my father...Jie Shuai underestimated Sajia too much. Who can't do such a job of transporting food? Why do you want to come to Sajia?"

Along the way, the second son of the Liu family, who had been urging and escorting food all day long, no longer looked as glamorous as before. His silver helmet was covered with dust and looked gray in the sun. He pointed in the direction of the vehicle over there, surrounded by people running back and forth urging them. The sergeant's crimson uniform was also covered with loess.

Now he also knows that his father is serious about this. He is afraid that he will escort the grain and grass all the way and not be able to fight in the war, so he often speaks with a hint of encouragement.

"My father... Jie Shuai, let me tell you, the Liangshan bandits have gained such a great reputation, and they are not just vegetarians. It would be a waste to accompany the Sa family to escort grain and grass without using Gao Shuxun, a strong hand."

"Erlang is not afraid that the Sa family will tell Jie Shuai what he said. Jie Shuai will transfer the Sa family and leave you here?" Gao Shixuan was a little funny when he heard this. He was strong and strong, even though he was not tall, he could be regarded as Liu Yanqing's. The old subordinates had been obeying his orders before, but this time Tong Guan specially sent them to follow his old boss to suppress the bandits.

Liu Guangshi's face froze, knowing that Gao Shixuan's joking look meant that he could tell what he was thinking, so he immediately said: "Uncle Gao said, it's best to transfer the Sa family to the front line together. The Sa family also got the true legacy of the family, a pistol." It's a good use, I think it can help on the battlefield, so let's talk about it, this escorting food... is so boring."

"When the three armies travel, food and grass come first!" Gao Shixuan looked at his Shangguan second son with helplessness: "As long as you do it well, Erlang, you can't take away the credit."

"Why does the Sa family want this credit..." Liu Guangshi muttered, tapping his leather boots with his riding whip: "With eighty thousand troops plus a naval force, how can we capture the whole mountain with just one hand? Why should the Sa family transport grain at this time..."

Gao Shixuan couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this. After hesitation, he had to clarify: "Erlang really doesn't know why Jieshuai wants you to transport food?"

Liu Guangshi curled his lips: "I know, I don't want to train Sajia. I only train in Xiting. I have to train in Jingdong Road. I don't know what a group of thieves can do."

"Erlang, don't you see how many defeats the army has suffered before?"

"Isn't it because they themselves are not living up to their expectations? Now the leaders are all those who have been on the battlefield. How could a bandit chief take advantage of them?"

Gao Shixuan listened with a calm face, but he agreed in his heart. He also had the pride of being a general.

However, although the news is always delayed at this time, there will be a day when Liu Yanqing arrives in Hecai County to rest. On Guisi day, a horseman comes from the northwest, carrying a big man with phoenix wings and gold-plated irons all the way into the middle. From the military tent, exclamations came out.

……

The distant land of Liao.

The Liao Dynasty ordered to recruit a total of 3,000 Bohai warriors and horsemen, and stationed them in Liaoyang Mansion, Tokyo, and stationed troops in Baicao Valley. Officials holding orders ran all the way towards Fugui's mansion.

Not long after, a young man set up the incense table, accepted the offer, put on his armor with great satisfaction, and rode into the military camp outside the city.

The spring breeze blew the flags, and the Bohai youths riding war horses on both sides lowered their heads: "General!"
