Water Margin Survival

"Is my head still there?" Liu Yu, who fell from his mount and fell to the ground, couldn't stop his beating heart, and looked around in panic.At this time, the sky was already dark, and the strange birds were flying around, causing the group to panic and make no choice.

Seeing this, Left and Right Tiji and Cangtou didn't care about their panic, and hurriedly got off their horses to help their master who had fallen into the mud, and persuaded: "Master, the city of Yunzhou is not far ahead, we will be safe when we get there! The master endures the humiliation for a while, so we should hurry on our way! Otherwise, if Liangshan bandits catch up, we will all die in an instant!"

"We... How many people are there around me?" Liu Yu calmed down, recovered a little bit of sanity, and quickly asked his confidant.

"When I first escaped, there were still three to five hundred people, and now there are probably less than a hundred people left!" The man who was caught by Liu Yu reported back.

"Shan Tinggui, did he keep up with the Shan Tuan training? I remember that he was the one who saved his own power and broke out of the siege. By the way, where is Guan Sheng?"

When Liu Yu heard that there were only 100 people around him, his heart fell into the ice cave again. If he was hit by Liangshan people, wouldn't it stop?That dog thief Wang Lun was too outrageous, he didn't know what kind of enmity he had with him in the past and present, and he insisted on killing himself, only to hear the wild thieves shouting to abandon their weapons and not to kill, and only emphasized to kill Liu Yu!Anyway, I am also following orders, I didn't even know this guy before, to be so ruthless when I met him for the first time, it is simply too bullying.

"Shan Tuan Lian rescued me and after I came out, he saw Wei Tuan Lian lost the enemy's line, and he led his troops back to fight back! Guan Sheng was fighting with the bandits at the beginning, but he disappeared afterward!" A Cangtou who knew the inside story replied. road.When the master and servant asked and answered, they didn't mention Xuan Zan, because this Taishan-like fight started at the moment when Xuan Zan's arrow fell from the horse of the ugly county.

"What an ugly county horse, who even beat the fan with arrows, and the princess who married the king of the county, lost to a mere thief with an arrow. How dare that person be a fisherman? I kept telling people about Guan Yunchang's descendants, I thought he was capable, but what happened? Pooh! He couldn't take down a little-known bandit, and made my order and Wei's two generals come out together. Telling the thieves to take advantage of the situation, leading to this big defeat! Before Cai Xianggong drives in Tokyo in the future, I must make a clear argument!"

Liu Yu has been in the ups and downs of his official career for nearly 20 years. At this time, his mind is a little calmer, and he has already thought of how to clean up this mess.And prepare for public opinion.

"If Xianggong leads the army alone, without counting on those two pustules, and relying on the skills of the two regiments of Shan and Wei, how could they be so defeated?"

"Yes yes yes! The soldiers and horses from Tokyo are unreliable, how can they compare with the elite soldiers trained by the two regiments in our state?" The left and right followed Liu Yu's words.

Liu Yu frowned when he heard that, dare these fellows be brainless, and immediately shouted: "Guan Shengxuanzan is Guan Shengxuanzan, and Tokyo soldiers and horses are Tokyo soldiers and horses. What are you doing together? Do you think this official has too few enemies? When the time comes, I will offend Tong Guan and Gao Qiu. Isn't this officer asking for trouble? Remember, Guan..."

Before Liu Yu finished speaking, he saw a group of men and horses bumped out of the slanting stab, and it was getting late at this time.It was difficult to distinguish friend from foe, which made Liu Yu's group tremble with fear and chills.Liu Yu's three souls that had just stabilized suddenly lost two souls, and he didn't know where the strength came from.He snatched a nearby horse, turned over and got on without asking who it was.Fleeing.

With the example set by the master, the other followers also seemed to be scrambling to get on the horse, and ran desperately. The man whose horse was snatched by Liu Yu was sweating profusely. Shouted: "But Liu Xianggong, the young generals Shan Tinggui and Guan Sheng!"

Liu Yu recognized the voice of the training envoy of the Honzhou Regiment. He was both happy and surprised, and cried out as if crying: "General Shan, help!"

"Mister, don't panic, I'm late, please punish me!" Wei Dingguo rushed forward and said.

"Guan... General Guan also came out with you?" Liu Yu asked with a ghost in his heart.

Seeing this, Shan Tinggui hurriedly turned around and waved, only to see Guan Sheng in torn armor walking up to him, sighed and said: "Liu Zhizhou, General Xuan and General Wei have lost their opponents, what will Zhizhou plan to do?"

Shan Tinggui looked at Liu Yu expectantly when he saw that, his good brother Wei Dingguo had already been captured by mistake, if he didn't go to rescue him, if he was beheaded by Liangshan bandits, it would be too late for regret.

"How many troops have you recruited?" Shan Tinggui was his subordinate after all, Liu Yu said his plan to withdraw when he was in trouble, and asked back.

"Less than a thousand people! But most of them are our Lingzhou cavalry! My husband, please make a quick decision. Brother Wei and General Xuan are still in the hands of the thieves!" Shan Tinggui cupped his hands and begged.

Liu Yu didn't understand Shan Tinggui's meaning, but he really didn't dare to face the nightmare situation again, and said immediately: "Our [-] army has only a thousand troops left, ten stop to nine stop! When the soldiers were strong and the horses were strong, they were not Liangshan's opponents, so there is a chance of victory with this rout of troops?"

Seeing both Shan Tinggui and Guan Sheng's expressions of grief and indignation, Liu Yu secretly thought it was not good, so he eased his tone and said, "Of course, the two generals have fallen into the hands of thieves, and this officer is also heartbroken! In this way, let's go to Yunzhou first." How about rectifying the troops in the city, and then I will show my face and ask Hou Zhizhou to send troops to rescue the two generals?"

There is no other way at this time, relying on a thousand defeated soldiers is absolutely impossible to break the bank. Guan Sheng and Shan Tinggui had no choice but to save Liu Yu and go to the city of Yunzhou. Liangshan chased the soldiers, and they walked for more than an hour, and finally came to the city of Yunzhou. Shan Tinggui expressed his intention and shouted to open the door. Later, when Hou Fa saw that the matter was serious, he called Huang Wenbing, his aide, and hurried to the south gate with a few servants.

"The magistrate of this state is here, who is making noise in the city!?" Huang Wenbing asked after receiving the signal.

"Hou Zhizhou is my official, Liu Yu of Lingzhou! It is not good to conquer Liangshanbo this time. I have retreated to this point, and I hope Brother Hou will open the door to take him in!" Liu Yu also yelled loudly at this time, ignoring the restraint of the senior officials.

When Hou Fa saw this, he guessed Liu Yu's intention, and discussed with Huang Wenbing: "This Liu Yu must have suffered a defeat. Although he was appointed by Cai Jing, his subordinates are the imperial court. I think it's better to hurry up." Open the door, otherwise the Liangshan army and horses will catch up, and they will die without a place to bury them!"

Huang Wenbing quickly grabbed Hou Fa, and said, "Master, do you think Liang Shanbo can't beat our Yunzhou, or dare not beat our Yunzhou?"

Hou Fa was surprised when he heard the words: "Then Wang Lun even dared to attack the Daming Mansion, and Cai Jing's son-in-law told him to drive him away. How could he not dare to attack our Yunzhou?"

"That's it! He Liangshanbo and our Yunzhou have been living in peace. It's not that he didn't dare to beat us, but he didn't want to beat us! If we open the door to let this group of people in, and Liangshan's army is approaching the city in a blink of an eye, aren't we going to suffer for ourselves? In the last battle of Zhujiazhuang, we offended Liang Shanbo, and more than half of the soldiers and horses in the city were lost. Even Zhang Dujian has rebelled, and now there are no good generals in the city. Who will defend the city when there is a conflict? Is there enough people? Please think twice, Mr. Huang Wenbing urged.

Seeing Houfa's face was heavy after speaking, obviously engaged in ideological struggle, Huang Wenbing said again: "Master, we have only been in Yunzhou for a few days, and when the new Zhizhou Chen arrives, we can leave this place of right and wrong. If Liangshan broke the city in these few days, it would be a great injustice. I'm afraid that even Hou Shangshu won't be able to speak for Xianggong anymore!"

Hou Fa called Huang Wenbing's words hit the nail on the head, and immediately went down to the city without looking back, but told the generals guarding the city to "obey Mr. Huang's orders!"

Huang Wenbing understood, and immediately ordered: "Notify the four gates. Quickly send troops to the city to guard. If there is no order from the Lord, whoever dares to open the gate to let people in will be punished as a thief!"

That benefit will see you.Hurriedly sending people to the four gates to report, Huang Wenbing heard the people in the city began to curse, and immediately shouted to the people in the city: "Liu Zhizhou is also a parent of Yizhou. Naturally, he knows that it is too late and the city gates cannot be opened without permission! Wait until tomorrow Tianming, make a clear distinction, Xiao Ke will plead guilty to Liu Zhizhou face to face!"

Liu Yujian said that he couldn't help being furious, he was the only one who fooled people, but at this critical moment, he was fooled by others, and immediately said angrily: "What crime is there, you can directly collect the body for me tomorrow morning!"

"If your army is pretended by Liang Shanbo, or if Liu Zhizhou is coerced by Liang Shan, if we open the door, it will be too late for us to regret! Please forgive me, don't make it difficult for my family! Since his old man is a state shepherd Shou, must first be responsible to the court and the people!"

After Huang Wenbing finished speaking, he ignored the shouting and cursing in the city, walked into the tower, and sat quietly drinking tea.After waiting for a while, he couldn't hear any movement below, so he came out to wait and see. Seeing that Liu Yu had retreated, he shook his head and left the city.

When his figure disappeared into the darkness, I saw three or five people walking out from the corner of the city, all leading their horses. The leader was a young man with a white face, who was immediately stopped by the guards. The young man took out a bronze medal on his waist and said: "I am Marquis Shangyu of Cai Xianggong’s mansion in Tokyo, I’m looking for your manager to speak!”

The soldier inspected the badge and hurriedly invited the superior officer. The young man threw out a piece of gold and said, "Open the door and let me out. If you don't open the door, the money is yours too. It's just that the purpose is relatively single, so I can only buy you a good coffin!"

The officer knew the identity of this person, and he was the Marquis of Cai Jingfu in Tokyo. He couldn't afford to offend him. At this moment, there was gold to open the way, and he thought, "Mr. What's more, it's official missions, so it's not my favoritism, that's all, let's choose the lesser of two evils!" Immediately, without hesitation, he secretly opened the city gate and let these people out.

It is said that the Marquis of Shangyu from Cai Jing's mansion left the city, took some kindling and lit a torch, and chased in the direction Liu Yu was evacuating. On the way, there was a new follower who was puzzled and asked, "My lord, what are we doing here? Is it worth taking such a big risk?"

"Stop talking nonsense! It's the first time for my young master to run an errand for the prime minister. Can you fail it? Besides, wealth and wealth are in danger. If I didn't make a mistake, this Liu Yu is in trouble. If I wait for him to prevent this disaster, Less benefits?" Na Yu Hou scolded.

The servants around me kept saying that although this Yu Hou was from Mengzhou, a small place, he was very sophisticated in his methods and was willing to spend money, which made everyone in the Cai family like him very much, so these servants asked him to take care of him. Be submissive and don't dare to say more.

These three or five riders galloped for a while, and finally caught up with the group of rout soldiers in front of a ruined temple. It turned out that this group of people only had one meal in the morning. When they moved on the road, they all came in to take a breath when they met this ruined mountain temple, and they were caught up by Yu Hou from Tokyo.

"The villain is Shi En, the Marquis of Shangyu in the Prime Minister's Mansion in Tokyo. I have met Liu Zhizhou!" The white-faced young man handed over his waist badge to show his identity.

"Shi En? Shi Yuhou..." Liu Yu inspected his badge, stared at Shi En for a long time, and asked uncertainly, "What is the purpose of Enxiang?"

"Then Pu Dong Guan Sheng is here? This person colluded with Liangshan bandits and ruined our army's conquest. He is just a spy. Please take him down as soon as possible!" Shi En said while looking at the crowd, After speaking, he looked at Liu Yu with a smile, secretly said that I will give you this great gift today, and let's see what you give me in return.Although Cai Jing is a big tree, but there are too many people in his arms, it is better to take the opportunity to get acquainted with some powerful officials like the one in front of him at no cost.

Unexpectedly, Liu Yu's face became very strange when he heard the words, he hesitated for a moment, and immediately shouted: "Come here! Let me arrest this thief who pretends to be Shangyuhou of Enxiang's residence!"

Shi En, who is used to being kind to others, was shocked when he heard the words, and looked at Liu Yu in disbelief. He would never forget the abnormal reaction of the beneficiary after the kindness was sold. (To be continued..)
