Water Margin Survival

The sound of "cracking" from the pots of charcoal in the distribution hall is one after another, echoing it is the heroes present in the hall expressing their opinions enthusiastically. He took a lamb chop dripping with oil and handed it to Liu Tang, and then he took one and stuffed it into his own mouth, but unexpectedly, he grinned from the heat.

Seeing that he was not in a hurry, Liu Tang let everyone talk hotly without interfering. He just did what he wanted, eating when he was hungry, sleeping when he was sleepy, and thinking about all the things he had carried on his body, he made his head big.I think everyone lived in Chaogai Village in the past. When it comes to surnames, who is better than whom?It's just that in less than half a year now, I have already begun to envy this guy's thick surname. It's a pity to say that it's all forced by reality.

When Liu Tang was in a daze, he heard Zhu Wu talking eloquently, and he said, "If we want to save people now, we must first see how Cai Jiu will consider his next move. If we want to escort Chao Tianwang and others to Contribute in the city of Tokyo, then I will do it halfway, this is the best policy. If they want to execute criminals on the spot in Jiangzhou, then the only way is to go to the execution ground, but the heroes who passed Erlong Mountain If we make a fuss, I'm afraid that the city's defenses will be tight at that time, so we will have to take the risk and choose this bad strategy."

No one thinks about siege, after all, this idea is too unrealistic.The father of the minister loved his son, and in an inland land of fish and rice, he placed twelve imperial guards commanded on horseback. It is conservatively estimated that 5000 people went up, far more than three times that of Jeju City on the edge of Liangshan River. The fourth battalion of horse troops is beyond the reach of many Xiongzhou counties.

At this time, the two groups of Huangmen Mountain were strengthened to barely force 500 people. With such a huge disparity, even though Liu Tang was eager to save people, he didn't expect that at all.

As soon as Zhu Wu finished speaking, Wang Lun nodded and said: "As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles. King Chao and Brother Hua Xian are the people who must be saved in my cottage. Let's send secret agents into the city first, and look at Cai Jiu. What kind of tricks are you going to play, so that you can prescribe the right medicine for him!"

Everyone was nodding their heads when they saw it, and at this moment Ou Peng wanted to get up and arrange capable men to go down the mountain at night. Suddenly, he heard someone rushing up the door to ambush him. When Liu Tang looked intently, this person was exactly The guy who claimed to be the brother-in-law of Zhao Guan’s family only heard him hurriedly said: "Brothers, it’s not good, five hundred horsemen suddenly came down the mountain for some reason. Don't leave, we are setting up camp at this time, under the banner of the Jiangzhou garrison!"

Jiang Jing was surprised when he saw that, and quickly asked, "Have those fellows ever gone up the mountain to spy?"

"We're digging a trench to block our way down the mountain, but nothing else has been done!" the guy replied.

Seeing this, Ou Peng said angrily: "How long have you guys been afraid to come here to die, why are you acting uncharacteristically now? Instead, come here to beg for beatings?"

Zhu Wu pondered for a moment, then slapped his hands suddenly, and said with a smile: "This person is still reluctant to part with the credit, but isn't he a bit reluctant?"

Xiao Jiasui also smiled when he saw this, and said: "It's not what happened. Seeing that his old father is now in control of the government, and his brother is the confidant of the official family, what else is he planning in his life? Sitting in this position now, he doesn't know how to do it for the people. Do something, accumulate more virtue!"

Ou Peng didn't understand what he meant, he looked straight at Jiang Jing, Jiang Jing thought for a while, and explained: "The two elder brothers must have seen that the fellow is jealous of us, although we don't know what relationship we have with Song Jiang, but we are afraid that we will cause trouble After all, Huangmen Mountain is the only one that can cause trouble for them in Jiangzhou, so I sent this battalion of troops to stop me!"

Seeing that Ou Peng looked at Wang Lun with a puzzled face, Wang Lun nodded, but stretched out his hand and pointed to the north. Jiang Jing immediately patted his head and said with shame: "I still don't think carefully about the three brothers, I'm afraid that Cai Jiu has made up his mind at this time, he must escort Chao Tianwang and others to the capital to offer prisoners! Otherwise, with the strength of my counterfeit troops, we will not be able to attack the city and rob more prisoners, no wonder we are only here to block us!"

Ou Peng said angrily: "Then Cai Jiu is so cautious? Do you think I can't take his battalion of horses in the cottage? Seeing that the Liangshan troops with my brother are here, I will work together and step on it. Flatten him!"

Wang Lun saw the actions of Zhu Wu and Xiao Jiasui, and he also somewhat guessed that Cai Jiu or Huang Wenbing had a good plan. It seems that they have become more sophisticated, and they are not willing to take any omissions lightly.It's just that the idlers in the battalion of horsemen wanted to crucify the Huangmen Mountain, which is no longer what it used to be. I'm afraid they can't do it?

"Since these guys are here, I don't have to be polite, let's get rid of them before their camp is established!" Wang Lun said.

Everyone cheered loudly, but Xiao Jiasui stood up with a smile and said: "My little brother first joined the village, but he didn't make any achievements. Now that there is an enemy situation today, my little brother is willing to do what a dog can do!"

In the past half month, Xiao Jiasui talked about the art of war with everyone in his free time, and everyone was convinced. Even after Zhu Wu saw his talents, he often sighed that he was not as good as him. At this time, when he came out to ask for a battle, only Qin Ming and Shi Jin got up. Said: "We are willing to fight together with Mr. Xiao!" Yan Ji and Yuan Lang couldn't stay idle at this time, and they stood up to ask for a battle. Not to mention Ou Peng, as the host, was going out to gather troops.

When Wang Lun saw Xiao Jiasui asking for a battle for the first time, he just got up and sat back on the top chair. After everyone finished speaking, he smiled and said: "Since Mr. Xiao is willing to go, I will not go. I will send my soldiers and Five hundred horse troops are handed over to you, plus the horse troops in Brother Ou Peng's stronghold, there are more than nine hundred people in total, there should be no danger, I wish the high officials a triumphant return, and I will warm the wine here!"

Xiao Jiasui laughed, only nodded slightly to Wang Lun, and then said goodbye. Qin Ming, Shi Jin, Yan Jiao, Yuan Lang, and Ou Peng all followed him out, and the remaining leaders in the hall couldn't help talking. Liu Tang walked back and forth anxiously, Wang Lun persuaded: "Brother, please be safe and don't be impatient. My hope of rescuing Chao Baozheng is tied to this team of officers and soldiers. Come on, warm the wine for me, and leave it for later." Eat it when my brothers come back!"

Liu Tang sighed, stepped forward to heat the wine like Wang Lun, but felt a little uneasy, but saw that the leaders on Liangshan Po were all sitting on chairs with a calm expression, so he had no choice but to press down and worry, the time was just like this When Liu Tang accompanied Wang Lun to the third pot of wine, he only heard Ou Peng's voice coming first before he arrived, and he laughed and said, "Great victory, great victory!"

……

In Jiangzhou City, Cai Jiu's private office.

In a study room, Cai Jiu led Huang Wenbing to taste tea there, but he heard Cai Jiu say: "'Consume the country because of the family wood, and the swords and soldiers are the hydraulic engineering. The vertical and horizontal 36, the chaos is spread in Shandong.' Who knows that it should be in Songjiang I didn't want to catch him alone on this guy, but he led out a gang, and even brought out Chao Gai and his gang who robbed my family's birth certificate. This man is really a curse, it's better to kill him Why do you need to send it all the way to the capital?"

Huang Wenbing saw that he was careful and said: "Mr. Gong, to put it bluntly, if we forged this incident, of course we would kill it quickly. How can we send it to the capital to embarrass people? But now the case is out. The fact is, what is that called Kong Ming? Didn’t Kong Liang recruit them? Not only did they rob the birthday card, but they also became bandits in Qingzhou, committing more damning crimes, and now they are trespassing in the state city to rob the official prison. They are all real traitors, I will kill them here, there will be some rumors in Tokyo, saying that the old man is guilty and timid, afraid of not being seen, and now he just sent him to the past, let them torture him, some old man will look at it , can’t you tell the truth a lie?”

Cai Jiu heard the words and sighed: "Yes, this bandit leader Chao Gai is particularly hateful, but he has repeatedly made trouble with my Cai family. Now send this person to Tokyo and ask my father to forgive him. By the way, those two dead , will the four seriously injured be sent as well?"

Huang Wenbing thought for a while, and said: "Although a person is dead, it is a disaster to leave the body here. Who knows if the remaining bandits from Erlong Mountain will come to take revenge? Or send them to Tokyo as soon as they are dead or alive." , and also put an end to the delusions of thieves about me here. Thinking that Tokyo is at the foot of the emperor, how dare these fellows dare to be presumptuous, and Erlong Mountain was under the jurisdiction of Murong Zhizhou in Qingzhou. Home, beat it a bit, so that Concubine Murong will also beg for kindness and family. It is really a multi-purpose thing!"

Cai Jiu was overjoyed when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "It's better to judge Lao Cheng to seek the country and help me achieve this great achievement. Don't worry about the judge. You and I are close friends. In the future, I will tell my father exactly what happened, and ask him to do his best to maintain it." Tong San is reinstated, it’s a loss to the country for a talent like Tong San to be exiled in the wild, if you say, don’t go to other counties, just stay in Jiangzhou!”

Seeing that he was busy thanking Huang Wenbing, he said again: "Your Majesty, although these people have no connection with Huangmen Mountain, they must be guarded against! Now there is only this cottage left in Jiangzhou, so it is better to take advantage of the situation and wipe them out." Yes, it's also called Enxiang to show the credit!"

Cai Jiujian shook his head and said: "Nowadays, it's really hard to say about the use of troops. Although I have the final say at this time and place, it's just a move of soldiers and horses. The victory or defeat will be reported to the Privy Council. Seeing that Tong Guan is with my father Not much to deal with, his henchmen are staring at my Cai family with wide eyes. If I use troops against Huangmen Mountain, I will not gain much if I win. If I lose, he will find a chance to speak! Everyone is smart, let's not give him this chance!"

Huang Wenbing lowered his head and thought for a while, then said: "In that case, let's withdraw the Huangmen Mountain camp. Since the Lord is unwilling to make a big move, let's not provoke these redheads. These people are rough, and they initiated When the anger came, the Lord-Minister also met, and more than 100 people from Chao Gai dared to come to Jiangzhou to rob me, do you think these guys are brave!"
