Chapter 218 Please bring
Zhao Xing led a team of villagers, supervised six carriages of gifts, and took letters from Baishi Manor to Dongping Mansion.
Due to the unrest on the road, Zhao Zhen asked the experienced [red-haired ghost] Liu Tang and [general Shi] Shi Yong to protect him with thirty soldiers.
To say that these six carts of gifts are not very expensive, most of them are ordinary things. Inside, there is a mink fur cloak and a wolf fur cloak sewn by Cheng Wan'er herself, which best reflect Cheng Wan'er's feelings.
Zhao Zhen picked a black lacquered warm stone canopy bed covered with warm stone. In addition, there were two four-tailed carps and two gourds of stone milk, which were sandwiched among the ordinary things in the car. .
After watching the convoy leave, Zhao Zhen returned to the hall. Not only did everyone from South Camp come early, but also the two camps of Haoshanfeng Mountain and Xuefengfeng Mountain, as well as the two water villages of Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi, had arranged everything in the camp. Came early.
Seeing that everyone had come, Zhao Zhen ordered a banquet. Taking the opportunity to greet Luan Tingfang, all the heroes gathered together again. Drinking from morning to night, all the heroes became familiar with each other.
On the second day, the heroes from all over the country returned to their hometowns. Chao Gai, Lu Zhishen, Ruan Shixiong, Wu Yong and others still stayed in Baishi Manor. Shi Qian and Bai Sheng led the team to explore the terrain.
Everyone sat down and Zhao Zhen said: "Brothers, you have heard what brother Luan Tingfang said yesterday. I wonder what you brothers think?"
Lu Zhi was deeply resentful. Said: "This kind of people have also been officials in the imperial court. They are used to being arrogant and domineering. They regard human life as a piece of grass and deserve to be killed. It's just that they don't know. Now that they know it, don't say that he wants to fight. If he behaves like this, even if he If you don’t come, the Sa family will kill them and get rid of these thieves who are ruining the country and harming the people.”
Sun An also said: "It is exactly what the master said. They are all so treacherous and evil, and it makes it difficult for us to achieve our ambitions. Senior officials can make plans, but if brothers are useful, they dare not not do their best."
Everyone was also clamoring to confront Zhujiazhuang. Zhao Zhen looked at Wu Yong, who told everyone the strategy he had planned the day before. After everyone heard this, they said it was a pity and they would have to endure it for a while.
Chao Gai stood up at this time and said to Zhao Zhen: "Sir, this is a very good plan, but the Zhujiazhuang must not dare to fight with all its strength, and there must be someone left behind in the village. Don't Not to mention, Zhu Chaofeng is old and will not go out with the army. This person is the culprit. Also, if he is an official, there will be trouble in the future if he cannot be eliminated. "
Zhao Zhen said: "My brother is right. I wonder what his plan is to solve it once and for all." A group of troops passed through the fog and headed straight for Zhujiazhuang. If he goes out to attack, his defenses will be loose. Now that we know the route to his village, we can catch him off guard."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Yong and Xiao Rang were at odds with each other. Wu Yong said: "What's wrong is, firstly, we are using a trick to prevent Lijiazhuang and Hujiazhuang from helping each other. If we attack Zhujiazhuang, we are afraid that these two We share the same enemy and send troops to help Zhujiazhuang. It is inconvenient for a large group of people to go through the fog. If there are fewer people, how can they easily capture it?"
Zhao Zhen sighed. , said: "Now we have to defend Liangshan County, but also compete with Zhujiazhuang for supremacy. There are not enough troops, and there are not enough heroes to use."
Wu Yong continued: "No need to worry about the high officials. Now that Liangshan County is in the hands of high-ranking officials, everyone in the green forests of Shandong and Hebei can’t help but praise him.” There are two acquaintances in the green forest. I once told a high official that one is called "Out of the Forest Dragon" Zou Yuan and the other is called "One-horned Dragon" Zou Run. Now they are both climbing Yunshan and Luocao. I would like to go for a while. "Two people came to surrender." As soon as he finished speaking, Luan Tingfang also said: "Sir, I hate Zhujiazhuang for being unkind. I have worked hard as a coach, but I don't want to leave in one day, so I have to be chased by his family. It's really hateful. . Because of my younger brother, all the brothers in the county can’t live in peace and feel ashamed.”
Zhao Zhen said: "Brothers, there is no need to be like this. If Zhujiazhuang has the ambition to grow bigger, without brothers, one day we will become enemies."
Everyone comforted Luan Tingfang for a few words, but Luan Tingyu He said: "Master, I think of a person here who I would like to recommend to you. When I was wandering around the world, I met a good man when I passed through Nanshan Town in Yizhou. This man's surname was Wang, with the double name Tianba. His ancestor was a military officer. He learned martial arts well and was very loyal, so he became a brother."
"This brother has a strength of thousands of kilograms in his arms and is used to wielding a pen weighing eighty kilograms. He has a nickname in the world. It's called [Sai Cunxiao], and he's living at home now. I'd like to take a trip and tell him to come and surrender."
Li Yun listened and said, "Sir, I heard about it when I was at home. This man is very impressive. There are two mountain strongholds on the ground in Yizhou, one is called Yuanbi Village and the other is called Qingyun Mountain. Many people and horses gathered there, and the officers and soldiers did not dare to approach."
"Yuanbi Village. The stronghold of [Ping Di Lei] gathered seven to eight hundred people and occupied it; but on Qingyun Mountain there were [Mugwort Leopard] Di Lei, [Slim-faced Bear] Di Yun, [Hungry Big Insect] Yao Shun, and [Iron-backed Wolf] Cui Hao. The two places were occupied by four heroes, so that they could not rob homes and homes. Because of him, no one dared to invade the boundaries of Nanshan Town. "
Zhao Zhen was very happy after hearing this. Said: "Since there is such a good man, why don't you invite me to be a brother? He is so great, and I want to come to the town and rely on him a lot. I wonder if he is willing to come."
Luan Tingyu said: "High official, There were only a few village officials in that town, and it was not enough to exploit the people. How could they have the heart to be a good man? It has been a waste of time, but now that someone has been promoted to a high official, he will definitely be willing to come."
After hearing this, Zhao Zhen said: "Seeing a battle, we still need brothers to supervise the army and horses. Please send me a letter from my brother, [Present Officer] Brother Li San is fast, how about I let him go to Nanshan Town?"
Luan Tingyu nodded and immediately wrote a letter to explain the reason. After writing it, he handed it to Zhao Zhen. Zhao Zhen read it and had someone seal the letter and give it to Li San.
Zhao Zhen asked: "Brother, you have delivered the letter. If Wang Tianba is willing to come, you can come with him. If you are not willing, don't offend me. Brother, just come back as soon as possible."
Li San responded and asked Li Yun about the route. Without hesitation, he took the letter, took the gold, silver and dry food, and went out to take a detour south to Yizhou.
Send off [precursor] Li San, and Yang Lin also bid farewell to Zhao Zhen in the hall. Yang Lin said: "Master, uncle and nephew Zou Yuan and Zou Run are now in the grass. Others are afraid that they can't get close to him. , I will go to Dengyun Mountain today."
Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "Brother, please go early and come back early."
Yang Lin said, "Don't worry, senior official." I'll take care of it." After that, he went down, took a few companions, and headed east on horseback.
