Water Margin begins as a captain in Yanggu County

Chapter 44 Shandong, becoming a big thief.

Dong Ping gnashed his teeth and said, "You traitors, I will avenge you one day!"

On the street, Dong Ping rode his horse eastward at full speed. He obviously knew that the situation was hopeless, and he just wanted to rush out of the city through the east gate to save his life first.

Although Dong Ping is very capable, he has always been a person who cherishes his life.

Beside Su Wu, Suo Chao was already asking, "Brother, why did you let him go?"

Su Wu did not answer, but shouted to his left and right: "Today's matter only concerns Dong Ping. You are not aware of the situation. Put down your weapons, kneel down and surrender, and I will not hold you accountable."

Looking around, he heard the clanging sounds of weapons being put down, and at a glance he saw countless soldiers from Dongping Prefecture kneeling in the street.

Just by looking at this scene, Su Wu also knew that it was extremely difficult to rebel in the Song Dynasty.

Even the Liangshan bandits in the story did not raise the banner of rebellion, but of enforcing justice on the behalf of heaven. There is also a saying: Kill all the cruel and corrupt officials and repay Emperor Zhao with loyalty.

This is the true ideology of Liangshan. No matter how many murders and arson they have committed, they still have to repay the Zhao emperor of the Song Dynasty.

Only when the situation was under control did Su Wu say to Suo Chao, "Captain, gather these people and place them there first."

Suo Chao nodded: "Okay..."

It all depends on Suo Chao to arrange his troops to gather up the defeated soldiers and weapons.

Then, Suo Chao dismounted and walked to Su Wu's side, asking softly, "Brother, what is your plan?"

Su Wu asked back: "Does the deputy commander want to hear the truth or a lie?"

“This…” Suo Chao understood the meaning of this, thought about it, and said, “After today’s incident, you and I will advance and retreat together, and share weal and woe!”

"Okay!" Su Wu nodded. Suo Chao's words expressed his stance.

So Su Wu stopped lying and whispered to Suo Chao: "If it is a lie, then Dong Ping is really amazing and we can't stop him, so we have to let him get away alone. If it is true, the captain has been worried about making achievements every day, but now, how can we make so many achievements?"

When Suo Chao heard this, his eyes suddenly gleamed: "Brother, could it be that you want to raise..."

"Yes, where can Dong Ping, a stray dog ​​from his home, go in the surrounding prefectures? The only place is the Liangshan bandits. At this time, the Liangshan bandits are just relying on some water and terrain advantages, and they don't really have much power. Once Dong Ping leaves, the Liangshan bandits may actually become more powerful, so that they can tolerate several attacks and fights."

Su Wu spoke slowly. He had already analyzed a lot. At this moment, Liangshan was really not up to par. If Liangshan wanted to truly rise, many things had to happen.

But Su Wu would certainly not allow Liangshan to accomplish many of these things, such as the three villages on Dulonggang, Erlongshan, and Liangshan's several victories in attacking and plundering provincial capitals.

Su Wu wanted to stop Liangshan from doing all these.

Then, by then Liangshan would probably be too weak, and if it is weak, it would not be able to become a big bandit. Without this big bandit, where would people like Su Wu and Suo Chao who want to achieve great things go to achieve their achievements?
The day is not far away when Song and Liao will go to war, and then Song and Jin will go to war again. If Su Wu cannot take some power in his hands before that, how can he influence the overall situation of the world?

We must strengthen Liangshan's strength.

This is one reason. Su Wu also has another plan. He must use Dong Ping to make another move, a bigger move that will bring greater benefits.

Suo Chao suddenly realized: "This is the time for you and my army to make great achievements."

Su Wu nodded: "Shandong, be a big thief."

Suo Chao also nodded at this time: "Brother, you really have a long-term plan. I can't catch up with you. From now on, I will just listen to you on this matter."

"Let's go find the prefect first." Su Wu had already stood up.

Suo Chao followed, and so did Wu Song, with Zhou Jin beside them, and they all went straight to the government office.

There was no prefect in the government office, not even a single person. All the officials and runners had fled.

Su Wu looked at it and sighed.

Suo Chao smiled and said, "Brother, don't blame me. It's just human nature. Just wait for a while. After a while, everyone in the city will know that Dong Ping has fled and will come back." Wait...

After waiting for a few yamen runners to look in, they came in after looking for a few times.

Someone has already spoken: "Su Dutou is really mighty!"

"Yes, yes. Dong Ping was also beaten and fled away in panic."

Compliments were about to come one after another, and Su Wu just asked: "Where is my husband?"

Everyone looked at each other, how could they know where their husband was?

Then another clerk at the door looked in, looked a few times, and said excitedly: "I know, I know, hurry up, my husband is at home."

Su Wu also stood up and said, "Let's go and fetch the lord back to the yamen."

The streets were already empty, with only pairs of eyes peering out from the cracks in doors and windows.

Su Wu ordered his men to shout, "It's all right, it's all right. Dong Ping has already escaped."

As he walked and shouted, a few people gradually came out to watch.

As soon as they arrived at the clerk's house and pushed the door open, they saw that the prefect's husband, Cheng Wanli, was also lying on the side room window, looking into the yard.

Just wait for the person to come, and be surprised: "Su Wu, you really won?"

"Sir, it's all right. We won, but it's a pity that Dong Ping got away." Su Wu replied with a smile.

Cheng Wanli came out of the wing room and ran to the courtyard, with a look of joy on his face: "It's okay, it's okay to get away. This government has known about this for a long time. This will definitely happen, this will definitely happen!"

Seeing everyone paying respects, Cheng Wanli waved his hands repeatedly: "Everyone has made outstanding contributions this time. No one should be left out. Suo Tixia will also have the Zhongshu Xiang to confer the reward. When the time comes, this government will also write a letter to Zhongshu Xiang to explain the situation..."

Suo Chao smiled and bowed: "Thank you, Mr. Cheng."

Cheng Wanli was very presentable at this time, standing straight and dignified, and he added: "Of course, the Damingfu army has come from afar and worked hard, and the government office will also have to pay some expenses to reward the soldiers later. As for the pension, there will be no shortage of it."

"Thank you again, Mr. Cheng!" Suo Chao was very happy. He earned money here and would have more money when he went back. He was doubly happy.

Cheng Wanli looked at Su Wu again and smiled, "Captain Su has made a great contribution. It has been agreed that once Dong Ping leaves, the position of the Military Commander of Dongping Prefecture will be vacant. Su Wu, you will take over the military affairs of the prefecture temporarily. Once the official documents of this prefecture are sent to the Privy Council twice, the matter will be settled. The post of Military Commander will be yours, and it will be worth your loyalty and sacrifice!"

Wu Song was so excited when he heard this that he just went to see his brother, feeling proud of it.

Su Wu bowed, but he didn't seem very excited. He just said, "Thank you for your kindness, sir. I will do my best and will not slack off in the slightest."

Cheng Wanli was really happy, stroking his beard and smiling: "I know you are a very capable person, and I also know that you have always been calm. If I hand over the military affairs of the mansion to you, there will be no mistakes. But I am afraid that most of those soldiers are Dong Ping's confidants, so you must carefully identify them."

Saying this, Cheng Wanli couldn't help but feel sympathetic. He really didn't feel safe enough for these ordinary people. He was really afraid! Fortunately, now there was Su Wu who was worthy of his trust.

"Don't worry, sir. This is not difficult." Su Wu answered, but suddenly he felt that there was someone lying there watching him through the crack of the window that Cheng Wanli had just seen.

Su Wu couldn't help but turn his head to look. The gap between the windows was not big, but at a glance he could see a pair of women's eyes. When the woman saw Su Wu looking at her, she immediately avoided him.

"Good, good, good, good..." Cheng Wanli was in a really good mood at this moment. There was no longer that huge stone pressing on his chest. Looking left and right, everything was good, and he felt satisfied.

"Sir, there is no time to lose. We must return to Yanggu County immediately and arrest Yun Liwan, Dong Ping's confidant. This will confirm that Dong Ping is colluding with the enemy and plotting rebellion."

Su Wu's mind was still very calm at this time.

"You go, you go, go quickly. These thieves must be arrested one by one. I am very confident in your work." Cheng Wanli answered quickly.

(It has not moved today and remains at the 16th place in the overall list, just waiting for the website's recommendation to slowly ferment. Brothers, I wrote this novel very carefully, and I dare not be perfunctory in the slightest. I will do my best to make it more exciting.)
