Lord: Start with a book of Water Margin

Chapter 640 Siege
After hearing this, Lu Zhen said, "If this is the case, won't Xuzhou suffer?"

Wu Chang laughed and said, "That's exactly what we should do. Whatever happens to Xuzhou is none of our business."

Jia Juxin said, "By doing this, we can follow the example of the former governor Miao and stay away from this troubled place. From now on, the three of us will enjoy endless wealth and honor. But brother Lu Zhen must give up his new beautiful wife and go deep into the mountains of Yizhou to endure hardships."

Wu Chang also said: "I am worried about others going to Yizhou. After all, Brother Lu Zhen is our own man."

After hearing this, Lu Zhen said, "Don't worry, my two brothers, I have agreed to this matter. We have already prepared 500 trusted soldiers in the camp. We will hide in the mountains of Yizhou and make a big fuss before we stop."

At that moment, Wu Chang wrote an official document, pretending to transfer Lü Zhen to lead the soldiers of this battalion to inspect the countryside. Secretly, he had already prepared the boats, and at night, Lü Zhen and his party quietly passed through Xuzhou by water and entered the territory of Yizhou.

Although Liangshan had deployed spies in Jeju, they were unaware of this.

After Lü Zhen set out, he found a secluded spot on the shore of Weishan Lake, quietly landed, dragged the boat ashore, and covered it with weeds. Then he walked into the mountains in the dark.

Because they wanted to stir up trouble, Wu Chang and the other two had discussed it. If the matter was small, it would be difficult to explain to General Gao. Therefore, they disguised themselves as bandits, wandered around, and chose the right opportunity to kill one or two generals of Liangshan. This would definitely shock Liangshan, and General Gao would naturally have an explanation.

After landing at Weishan Lake, the adjacent county was Cheng County. Lu Zhen had already found out that the person stationed there was Xu Ning, the military commander of Yizhou [Golden Spearman]. He also found out about Xu Ning's martial arts, and found that Xu Ning's martial arts were not as good as Wang Jin's.

Lu Zhen was confident that he could defeat Wang Jin, so Xu Ning naturally did not take him seriously.

Although Jia Juxin warned Lu Zhen not to rush into anything, Lu Zhen forgot Jia Juxin's words after going deep into the mountains of Yizhou.

Not only was the mountain road difficult to navigate, but in order to prevent their whereabouts from being exposed, they had to march in the dark at night, which was damp and cold, and they couldn't make a fire. They had to eat fried rice, which was hard to swallow. Lü Zhen, who was used to enjoying a luxurious house and beautiful concubines, was not willing to do this. After only one day and one night, he was already very irritable.

Because they hadn't found a place to stay yet, Lu Zhen ate fried rice at night and cursed: "Damn it, there are many mountains here, but it's hard to find a dangerous place. Liu Wu, what do you think, how about we just do a job and leave?"

After hearing this, Liu Wu naturally agreed with Lu Zhen and said, "Master, it's fine for us to sleep in the open air, but why do you want to do this? We are just pretending to be bandits to mess up here. If you think the noise is not enough, we will go to Cheng County at night to scare this guy, and then return to Jeju."

"If this happens three times, we won't have to stay in the mountains and suffer these hardships, and we can also ensure that the city below will not be in peace."

After hearing this, Lu Zhen laughed and said, "Liu Wu, you usually have a lot of tricks up your sleeve, but this time your idea really suits my heart. Let the soldiers rest early and go down the mountain tonight. After the action, walk around the mountain and then take a boat home. We will come back in three to five days."

At night, at the second watch, Lu Zhen and his group no longer hid, lit torches, and headed straight for Cheng County.

When the soldiers guarding the city saw this, they immediately started beating the gongs.

Upon hearing the news, the magistrate Qiu Hao, the chief clerk Wang Yu, and the county lieutenant Zhang Wen did not dare to be careless and immediately gathered the yamen runners and archers on horseback and on foot to defend the city.

Originally, Cheng County also had a battalion of soldiers led by Jie Zhen and Jie Bao stationed there, but recently the arrest envoy Liang Jie was in a critical situation of clearing out bandits in the mountains, so he mobilized the Jie brothers who were good at mountain warfare.

The only people in the city now are [Winged Tiger] Lei Heng and his five hundred thief-catching soldiers.

Upon hearing the unusual movement outside the city, he urged the soldiers to go up to the city.

When Lei Heng met the county magistrate Qiu Hao, he asked, "County Magistrate Qiu, what's the situation outside?"

Qiu Hao heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Lei Heng. He said, "Master Lei, it's a good thing you're here. Look, there seems to be a large group of people coming down the mountain. We didn't receive any official documents from the prefecture during the day, but the arrival of this group of people is strange." Lei Heng followed the direction Qiu Hao pointed, looked at the people coming up the mountain, and said to Qiu Hao, "There are about 500 to 700 people. County Magistrate Qiu only needs to defend the city. If they come to attack the city, I will naturally help."

Qiu Hao quickly thanked him: "Thank you for your help, Officer Lei."

After about half an hour, the group finally approached the city. Bonfires were lit on the top of the city and under the city gates for lighting, and the top of the city was crowded with people, who had already made preparations.

Lu Zhen was not surprised, as if he had expected it. Liu Wu covered his face and shouted, "My grandfather is King Xie of Guoshanfeng. Listen up, everyone on the city. Quickly offer 500 dan of rice and 30 young ladies. We will leave now and never interfere with each other again. If you dare to say no, I will break into the city today and leave no one alive."

Lei Heng, who was standing on the top of the city wall, heard this and shouted, "How dare you, with such a small number of men, speak so arrogantly? Come over here, and I will chop off your heads with one blow."

Liu Wu shouted, "Grandpa is right here, come down and take his head if you can."

Lei Heng listened, but ignored it. In the dark night, although there were only five or seven hundred bandits under the city, who knew if there were any men and horses in the dark, so it was still important to protect the city.

Seeing that they were still on the city wall, Liu Wu took off his pants and started peeing towards the top of the city wall.

The bandits under the city were laughing uncontrollably.

He laughed and shouted, "Send your wife out quickly, so that I can have a good time, and I will spare your life."

Lei Heng couldn't hold back after hearing this. He turned to Qiu Hao and the other two and said, "This group of bandits under the city is really rampant. I will go out of the city to meet them. I will leave 200 people to help you defend the city. After I leave the city, I will close the city gates."

County lieutenant Zhang Wen responded, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

At that moment, Lei Heng called 300 men out of the city and deployed them along the city wall. Lei Heng shouted, "Where did you come from, you ignorant bandits who dare to tamper with the Tai Sui? Today I will teach you that you can never return. Come, come, I will use you as a sacrifice to my sword."

When Liu Wu saw this, he also rushed towards Lei Heng with the machete in his hand.

Seeing this, Lei Heng also took a big step forward to kill him. Although Liu Wu had some martial arts skills, he was no match for Lei Heng.

After only three rounds of fighting, Lei Heng had figured out Liu Wu's moves. He used a drum to let Liu Wu's machete come at him, and when Liu Wu's strength wore out, Lei Heng stepped back to avoid the blade.

Then he jumped forward and chopped Huashan on the head with the broadsword in his hand. Liu Wu could not avoid it in time and ordered Lei Heng to strike him from the top of his head to his hips.

When the soldiers on the city walls saw this, they cheered loudly.

The masked thief on the opposite side saw this, but stopped laughing.

Lei Heng shouted, "Is there anyone who is so blind as to try my blade?"

When Lü Zhen saw this, he said angrily, "It's dark today, and my brother lost to you by mistake. I came to learn from your martial arts."

After that, a big man about eight feet tall came out, also with a veil on his face, but holding a rare weapon in his hand.
