Water Margin begins as a captain in Yanggu County

Chapter 114 I dare not touch General Su’s beard!

Yang Xiong and Shi Xiu looked back and saw that the one who was chasing was still chasing, and the one who was running was still running...

They looked at each other, both of them had bitter expressions. Then they looked around and saw only one person in front of them, that was Wu Song. Just looking at this person, his expression became even more bitter.

Even if the two of them fight each other, who can win?
Shi Xiu had to fight desperately and try again with gritted teeth. If he couldn't win this time, he would die.

Shi Xiu was actually quite good with a spear and a stick. He was determined to fight to the death, and when he attacked, he would just risk his life and exchange injuries for injuries.

"Okay! If you want to fight to the death, grandpa will do something ruthless with you!" Wu Song and Wu Erlang, have never been afraid of someone fighting to the death?
If Shi Xiu is a daredevil, then Wu Song must be a daredevil too.

Just watching Shi Xiu's spear stabbing towards him, Wu Song used one hand to chop with his broadsword and the other hand to grab the spear. It was not the first time he did this. He did the same thing to Lin Chong last time.

The spear was really caught by his big hand. With great strength in his hand, he just pulled it and chopped with the huge machete. It depends on the life of this desperate man. After this fight, will there be another chance?

Shi Xiu was caught by Wu Song's spear, and was pulled by a huge force from the spear. He fell forward. He raised his head slightly and saw the big Pu knife coming down towards him.

It’s over.

With a clang, it was Yang Xiong. How could Yang Xiong watch Shi Xiu being hacked to death on the spot and not come to rescue him?
With just this block, Yang Xiong once again felt the powerful force of the broadsword in Wu Song's hand. His arm had already become numb and his body was staggering.

Then Wu Song raised his leg and kicked at Yang Xiong, who was unable to avoid it and was hit in the chest. He fell seven or eight steps away, his chest was blocked and his face turned purple.

Shi Xiu quickly dropped his spear and swung his fist to attack. Wu Song was in an open position, so Shi Xiu punched him right in the chest.

At this moment, Wu Song no longer had the half-smile on his face as before. Instead, he stared with tiger eyes, gnashed teeth, and had a ferocious look, like a demon lord from heaven, or even the Tai Sui God on earth.

Shi Xiu's fist came again, hitting Wu Song on the chest once again.

The beating made a loud bang.

Wu Song didn't move at all. He just threw the spear in his hand and attacked with his fists.

Shi Xiu, the desperate man, was fighting with all his might. He did not dodge when Wu Song punched him, and since Wu Song was too close to him, he could not dodge in time and just kept swinging his fist to hit Wu Song's chest.

With a buzzing sound.

Shi Xiu felt his eyes go dark, and before it went dark, he seemed to see a huge fist in the corner of his eye. After it went dark, the sky was full of twinkling stars...

Wu Song raised his hand and brushed his chest, then looked to his left and saw a man lying on the ground, his body straight and stiff, his hands and feet twitching.

Looking to the right, I saw another person, seven or eight steps away, sitting on the ground, holding his chest. His face was purple, and he had obviously passed out. He couldn't breathe in, and only made a "guh, guh, guh" sound from his throat...

Wu Song dragged his broadsword, his fierce expression disappeared, and he uttered a sound through his nose: "Hmph!"

Not far away, some farmhands who had heard the shouting and killing came running out to see the scene. Wu Song waved his hand and said, "Take some ropes and tie them up. My brother will come and deal with them."

As he said this, Wu Song dragged his sword and ran again, chasing the thief outside. He was afraid that he would delay for a few seconds and could not catch up with him.

The thief in front ran towards the outside of the village, and there was not much force to stop him, so he ran out as soon as he ran.

First go to the official road, then enter the forest. There are horses prepared in the forest, so get on the horse quickly and leave.

Wu Yong also had something to say: "Brother Gongming, hurry up and leave. The plan has failed. We just happened to run into the officials of Dongping Prefecture who came to pick up the people, but they didn't get in."

Song Jiang heard the sound of pursuit from behind, and quickly jumped on his horse: "The first one to go."

But Li Kui refused: "Brother, I will go and kill them myself so that they dare not chase us."

Song Jiang shouted, "Just follow my orders!"

Li Kui immediately lowered his head, looking a little aggrieved, turned around to look, and went to get on the horse.

Forty or fifty strong horses rumbled away.

Luan Tingyu chased the general out, but he did not pursue him too closely. It was because his own general had given the order not to chase him too closely, and someone else would go after him on his own.

No one else rode their horses, so they could not catch up even if they chased. Only Zhu Biao rode his horse, so there was no need for one more person to chase.

Then they saw Lu Da and Wu Song also chasing out of the village. Lu Da and Wu Song were going to chase after them, so they just shouted, "Give me the horse."

After a moment, Lu Da and Wu Song also rode away on horseback. They were not going to chase the thieves, but they knew that their brother would chase them, so they went to join him.

Luan Tingyu led everyone back to the manor, where two big thieves were tied up.

Many people also recognized him as the thief who killed people in the village the day before, especially Yang Xiong, who knocked down more than a dozen people by himself.

Zhu Biao was very excited: "General, what a good plan, we finally caught the culprit."

I only heard people around me shouting, "Kill him, kill him! Avenge our brothers!"

"kill!"

The two were tied up on the parade ground. Seeing the indignation of the people around them, Yang Xiong could only say sadly: "It was me, my brother, who harmed you!"

Shi Xiu shook his head: "Why bother saying that?"

Just look around and see the shouting and killing continuing.

Zhu Biao was about to draw his sword, but after thinking for a while, he did not draw his sword. Instead, he went to see Luan Tingyu and asked, "Master, what should I do?"

Luan Tingyu looked around, pressed his arm, and said, "This is a Liangshan bandit. We should hand him over to the general for punishment. The general will give everyone an explanation. Don't worry."

Zhu Biao also nodded: "Master is right, we should detain him first and wait for the general to come and take him away. If the general takes him away, it will be a great achievement. The general has always treated us badly. He always thinks of us when there is something good. Even when he wants to catch a thief, he drives him outside the village. He doesn't want the thief to hurt the residents in the village. The general will give us a good explanation..."

The people around him stopped shouting, but there was one person saying, "These bandits are either stealing or killing people, and they also rob everywhere. We just have to wait and see when our general can catch them all."

"We are lucky to have General Su in Dongping Prefecture."

Outside Zhuangzi, there were fast riders chasing after him. There were not many of them, about three hundred horses and about a hundred men.

Song Jiang led the others to run. After running for two or three quarters of an hour, they heard the rumbling sound behind them. He was very anxious and asked Wu Yong: "Xuejiu, are we afraid that the government troops are chasing us?"

Wu Yong also frowned: "I heard that Su Wu has a group of elite cavalry under his command..."

Song Jiang nodded: "Yes, it is true."

Song Jiang saw it with his own eyes in Qingfeng Mountain.

"Oh no, oh no. I heard that the three villages of Dulonggang have a close relationship with Su Wu. Could it be that the people under Su Wu's command are chasing us? They come so quickly!" Wu Yong was shocked and his face turned pale when he thought of Su Wu.

"Hurry up and go to the planned path ahead." At this time, Song Jiang just wanted to get rid of the pursuers behind him as soon as possible.

Then Li Kui said, "Brother, I will turn around and chop them all down. They will never dare to chase us again!"

Song Jiang directly scolded: "Tie Niu, don't make trouble!"

"Yes, it's time, Tie Niu, you are still making trouble! How fierce are Su Wu's subordinates? They climbed the wall and attacked the city one after another. How can they be easy to deal with?"

Hua Rong said the same thing.

Li Kui had a face full of grievance. He kept repeating Su Wu, Su Wu, Su Wu to himself. His ears were covered with calluses from listening to him.

The group of people just ran as fast as they could and quickly took the small path.

Su Wu was behind him, but he was not chasing him in a hurry. He had three horses, so how could he not catch up?

It’s just that Su Wu didn’t want to catch up so quickly.

Going straight south, there are cavalrymen following closely in front. This time, Song Jiang will definitely not be able to escape from Su Wu's clutches.

It depends on how far it is from the water.

As the sky grew darker, Su Wu was in no hurry to ride his horse, for fear that his horse might stumble.

After only two or three hours, they were still in Dongping Prefecture, but Song Jiang changed his direction and headed east.

Su Wu then ordered his men to speed up their horses.

The water is 800 miles long, part of it is in Dongping Prefecture and part of it is in Jizhou Prefecture.

This time, Song Jiang and Wu Yong did not return to Jeju, but went to the waterside of Dongping Prefecture. It was obvious that they wanted to evacuate faster, and they prepared boats in advance on the waterside of Dongping Prefecture.

Song Jiang could already see the water in the distance, but he had to dismount and walk. The horse's power had really reached its limit, and some horses had even fallen dead. No matter how hard he tried to ride, the horses could not move.

All you have to do is run as fast as you can. As long as you get on the boat hidden in the reeds, everything will be fine.

But behind me, the rumbling sound of horse hooves was getting closer and faster.

Song Jiang's steps became faster and faster, and he shouted more and more urgently: "Hurry up, hurry up, brothers, hurry up!"

Song Jiang had done a lot of things like running away. He had run away from Yuncheng County, from Chai Jin's manor, from Qingfeng Mountain, and now he was running away again...

But then I heard a whooshing sound in the air.

Song Jiang was now quite experienced, so he just shouted: "Hide, hide!"

"Hey!"

"what!"

Still some people were shot and screamed in pain.

Arrows were whizzing towards us again.

There were weapons swinging continuously, making clanging sounds, and there were also people wailing and falling to the ground, having been hit by arrows again.

Li Kui protected Song Jiang, Hua Rong protected Wu Yong, and they just kept walking. The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer, and someone could even be heard shouting, "Is it Wu Yong, the scholar? Or is it Song Yasi from Yuncheng?"

Wu Yong and Song Jiang looked at each other and knew who it was, Su Wu!

The two men didn't answer, they just ran as fast as they could. The lake was right in front of them, so they got on the boat and left.

Arrows were whizzing and the sounds of people falling to the ground were heard one after another.

Su Wu was heard shouting, "Wu Xuejiu, if you had stayed a step, the arrows would have stopped."

Wu Yong heard this, hesitated for a moment, and actually stopped walking. Song Jiang hurried over to pull him back: "What are you doing, scholar? Hurry up and walk away."

Wu Yong replied: "Brother Gongming should go first, and I will come later. Su Wu will not kill me."

"Really?" Song Jiang asked immediately.

Wu Yong nodded seriously: "Really! Brother Gongming, go first. I have dealt with Su Wu before. He has a lot of thoughts. It may not be a bad thing to meet him. It can also save us from being shot by arrows."

"Scholar, you are very intelligent and wise. I am confident that you are the one. Scholar, be careful." Song Jiang nodded and walked away.

Wu Yong turned around and shouted, "General Su, I'll wait for you here, please stop shooting arrows."

After he shouted this, it turned out that the arrows really stopped.

Just looking around, there were as many as seventeen or eighteen people lying on the ground wailing in the moonlight.

"Haha...Mr. Wu is so brave!" Su Wu shouted again.

Wu Yong really stood there, took a few deep breaths, swallowed, straightened his clothes, and took a few more deep breaths to get rid of the panic and tension in his heart.

In the distance, a strong horse rumbles towards us. Under the moonlight, Su Wu sits high on the horse's back. He looks very strong and majestic.

Reining his horse, Su Wu approached and said, "Xuejiu, we meet again?"

"Greetings, General Su!" Wu Yong bowed.

Su Wu nodded, and rode forward to Wu Yong's side, looking down at him: "Take two steps forward first? Let Song Yashi get on the boat."

After Su Wu said this, he squeezed the horse's belly slightly, and the horse went forward at a slower speed.

Behind him, some soldiers had already dismounted and were checking the bandits who had been shot by arrows.

Wu Yong naturally hurried to catch up. At this moment, he suddenly discovered that Su Wu's subordinates actually had three horses each. No wonder this Puma army came so quickly, and there were even those cold armors on the horses' backs.

The horses walked slowly and gradually approached the shore of the water.

At first glance, under the moonlight, seven or eight boats were swaying in the lake, making the water sparkle.

Su Wu got off his horse, handed the whip back, and said, "Eight hundred miles of water, what a beautiful view!"

Wu Yong nodded: "The lake and mountains are beautiful, the moon is hazy, the reeds are dancing lightly, and the water is calm."

Su Wu laughed and said, "This boat is swaying back and forth, how can there be no waves? Although it is not a huge wave, it is still ripples..."

Wu Yong felt relieved, bowed beside Su Wu, and said, "That's right, General, you are right, the waves are rippling..."

"Who is in charge of the mountain stronghold now?" Su Wu asked.

"It's Chao Gai, Big Brother Chao..." Wu Yong answered.

"Can he make the decision?" Su Wu asked again.

Wu Yong was speechless for a moment.

Su Wu said again: "We should let Song Yasi make the decision."

Wu Yong was still speechless, but his heart was in turmoil...

But Su Wu also said: "It's just that the failure of Zhujiazhuang this time has made Song Yashi lose face. I'm afraid he is one step short of the mark."

Wu Yong had already raised his head to look at Su Wu. Seeing the normally calm expression on Su Wu's face, he was even more horrified in his heart, and finally spoke: "General, your way of understanding people's hearts is truly admirable."

"How many people are there in the mountain stronghold now?" Su Wu asked again, looking at the lake in the distance.

Wu Yong swallowed and hesitated.

Su Wu said directly: "There are escaped bandits from Qingfeng Village, bandits from Taohua Mountain, and a few bandits from the mountain village. I'm afraid there must be quite a few people who have surrendered these days. Five or six thousand? Or seven or eight thousand? It should be less than ten thousand."

Wu Yong finally answered: "General, there are more than 6,000 people, including some old and weak ones."

"I'm afraid I can't survive. In a few days, there will be more and more people, and it will be even more difficult to survive." Su Wu sighed.

Wu Yong lowered his head.

"Let me tell you something." Su Wu glanced at Wu Yong who was bowing beside him.

"Just follow the general's orders." Wu Yong bowed even lower.

"Don't come to Dongping Prefecture. Ordinary people from other places can't steal anything, so don't steal..." Su Wu said.

Su Wu also knew what was meant, and Wu Yong naturally understood it, that it was time to attack the provincial government.

"I understand. I understand." Wu Yong just bowed and nodded.

"Well, since you understand, you still have a long way to go... I also know that you have the determination to endure hardships, so I have trained the troops and purchased equipment. In the future, I will have a battle with you, so just be well prepared."

Su Wu spoke slowly.

Wu Yong was just terrified.

I had underestimated Su Wu in the past, thinking he was just a governor of a provincial capital with some abilities. But after talking to him today, I realized that Su Wu was actually a man who understood and controlled people's hearts.

He also knew that Su Wu hinted at him to attack the provincial government, which was... to keep the enemy at bay and wait for him to gain merit.

Wu Yong immediately had a countermeasure in mind. It seemed that the surrounding prefectures could not be attacked. The prefectures in Jingdong could not be moved lightly. They had to avoid Su Wu.

Wu Yong had a lot on his mind, but he just lowered his head and answered: "No, no, how dare I be an enemy of General Su?"

"Huh... You don't dare? Even if you have a strong army, you still don't dare? Wait until tomorrow, when you have 30,000 to 50,000 troops in your hands, won't Master Wu dare?" Su Wu asked with a smile.

"I would never dare to stroke General Su's tiger beard!" Wu Yong just said this.

"Mr. Wu, you are a liar, but it doesn't matter. I won't arrest you today. You can go and tell that Ya Shi Song a message." Su Wu stopped looking at the lake and turned around.

Wu Yong bowed and followed immediately: "I will definitely bring it to the general."

Su Wu whispered beside him, "Tell Song Yashi that the situation will become serious in the future. If you want to recruit him, come to me first and don't look for anyone else."

"Huh?" Wu Yong opened his eyes and looked up.

"Master Wu, please go by yourself... We have dealt with enough bandits today, we will catch them next time." Su Wu waved his hand and reached out, waiting for the guard to bring him the whip.

But Su Wu suddenly turned around and said, "They didn't leave a boat for you. It will be a bit troublesome for the scholar to return to the mountain village. Haha... Let's go."

Su Wu climbed onto his horse, and saw many thieves tied to the backs of the horses behind him, about seventeen or eighteen of them.

The horses' hooves roar as they go.

Wu Yong was left alone, looking a little disheveled in the wind by the lake.

After a long time, Wu Yong looked to the south and found that there were no boats here, so he could not go to the mountain stronghold. He had to go south to find Zhu Gui's hotel.

As soon as he raised his foot, he sighed, sleeping on straw and tasting gall, an army of 30,000 or 50,000...

Ugh……

Recruitment...

What is this all about...

As for Su Wu, he kept an enemy to protect himself, wasn't he really afraid that he would bring harm to others?

Of course, we really can't come to Dongping Prefecture for the time being. Even if Su Wu and his three horses did something, it would be difficult for them to escape pursuit...

He took a step forward and sighed again. He wondered who had been lost tonight. All the people who came today were good players. Losing one of them would be heartbreaking.

Who has the final say in the village?
Brother Chao Gai, are you also thinking about this in your heart?

This Su Wu really makes people feel cold...

Yes, this is actually not difficult to guess. Now that Brother Gongming has brought so many people to the mountain, and I don’t know how many of them have come here because of the reputation of Hu Baoyi from Shandong. How can Brother Chao be the leader of the mountain stronghold?
Wu Yong had a lot of thoughts in his mind as he slowly walked south. There were still dozens of miles to go, and he couldn't help but sigh again.

Su Wu, with everyone, did not return to Dongping Prefecture first, but went to Zhujiazhuang.

First, I need to take stock of today’s harvest and also win over the hearts of the people in Zhujiazhuang.

We also need to find out exactly which bandits were captured and killed today.

Su Wu obviously knew exactly who were the people under Song Jiang's command and the news about Zhu Gui.

Next, Liangshan will inevitably be planning a big move. If it doesn't, there will be no meat to eat and no wine to drink, and the timely rain in Yuncheng will not fall, and Liangshan will inevitably face a severe drought.
