Jiang De saw that Wang Gui wanted to go, so he said, "A few of you follow the Song Wan brothers as the rear army, learn more on the way how to march and camp, transport grain and grass, don't underestimate logistics and transportation, I don't know how many generals were defeated in the end because of the broken logistics." ”

Yue Fei heard that Jiang De was letting everyone be the rear army, and thought that there would be no battle in this way, so he also agreed with a smile.

Jiang De was overjoyed when he saw Yue Fei respond, although he knew that Yue Fei still had some scruples in his heart, but as long as he went to the battlefield, everything would slowly adapt.

"The owner of the village ordered the guard camp, why didn't you let me go?" A female voice came from below, everyone looked, only to see a girl who was like fire walked out, this girl was wearing a small armor, stepping on brute boots, her face was like a peach blossom, her eyes were like a meteor, not a flower carving.

Hua Diao because of the practice of martial arts with Hua Rong since childhood, and a good archery, Jiang De let her into the guard battalion as the deputy battalion commander, on weekdays Niu Gao and Li Zhong often accompany him out, the guard battalion is more of her leading training, her personality is strong, think that since the guard battalion is the owner of the guard, naturally should be the first in everything, no matter what training to do personally, those men in the guard battalion saw this girl are so desperate, and they don't dare to be sloppy, but they really improve the combat power of the guard battalion quickly.

Wu Di looked at Huadiao, secretly said in his heart that he was a heroine, and looked at Jiang De, for some reason, he felt a little sour in his heart.

Jiang De persuaded Huadiao, "Sister Huadiao, although Zhujiazhuang is only a rural village, there are thousands of people and horses, on the battlefield, I don't know what will happen, if you have anything, how can I explain to your brother?" ”

Hua Diao snorted, "Last year, my brother was trapped in prison, and I came to Liangshan single-handedly to ask for help, not to mention that there is a large army with me today, even if my brother comes, he doesn't dare to say anything about me." ”

Jiang De looked at Xu Guanzhong and the others for help, and several people were suddenly full of interest in the feather fan, especially Xiao Rang, who had already begun to write on the feather fan with a reference pen.

Jiang De said helplessly, "In this case, then the battalion commander of the flower battalion will also go out with the army, and Xu Junshi, go to contact the Diting battalion, let Shi Qian and Lian'er come to meet quickly, the two of them should be familiar with Zhujiazhuang, and they will be used when the time comes." ”

After the completion of the troops, the army went out, the army went north along the Jishui, and after a day, they passed through the territory of Pingyin, and the county of Pingyin learned that the soldiers and horses of Liangshan went down the mountain, and they were so frightened that they hurriedly closed the city gate, for fear that they were coming to fight themselves.

The county next to him persuaded "My lord, this Liangshan soldiers are ten thousand, where can our small county resist it, not to mention that the Liangshan soldiers and horses have always only fought corrupt officials and corrupt officials, local tyrants and inferior gentry, and the adults have been in office so far, although it is not as clear as water, bright as a mirror, but it can also be regarded as conscientious, if Liangshan wants to attack me, but it is not his, he will never do this, it is better to open the city gate to show his attitude." ”

Pingyin Zhixian asked tremblingly, "What attitude?" ”

The county Cheng smiled and said, "Of course, it is the attitude of the Zhu family, a few days ago, Zhang Ze's head was thrown in front of the gate of the county seat, and he was also stained as a Liangshan thief, who is that Zhang Ze, it is from Tianxiang Academy, not to mention that Tianxiang Academy has the background of the Taishi, it is the four characters of Tianxiang Academy written by the official, and the people who came out here are said to be Liangshan thieves, but I think this Zhujiazhuang is bold and reckless!"

Now Liangshan attacked Zhujiazhuang, which means that Zhang Ze is a Ming official, and Zhujiazhuang is innocent and not close to Liangshan, so he does the right thing for heaven. No matter who wins or loses this battle, it will be known to the world.

The adult is the Pingyin County Order, is what Zhujiazhuang did with the instructions of the adult, how do you say that the people of Liangshan and the court will speculate? After all, Liang Shanjun is a thief, and we naturally can't help each other, but if the city gate is closed, people feel that we are helping Zhujiazhuang, which is even more detrimental to adults than helping Liangshan.

Therefore, it is better to open the city gate widely, in order to show the attitude of secret support for Liangshan, if there are smart people in Liangshan, they will definitely not take the opportunity to rob the city, and if there is accountability from the court, the adults can be said to be in the way of the sage, let the Liangshan thieves cross the city and dare not enter, maybe the court will give a reward! ”

When the Pingyin County Decree heard it, he felt reasonable, so he ordered the city gate to be opened, and people could not help passing, as if the mighty army not far away did not exist, and he himself was sitting on the city wall, as if he was calm and relaxed, but he didn't know that his calves were shaking constantly.

After half an hour, he rode out of the Liangshan army and came to the city wall, and did not enter the city, but shouted to the city wall, "I am the messenger of Liangshan, please know the county lord to come out and speak." ”

Pingyin Zhixian stood up, seeing that this person didn't come in even though the city gate was wide open, his heart was settled, and he said to the following, "I am the Pingyin County Order, what do you have to say?" ”

The cavalry said, "I am on the order of the lord of my village, to spread a word, Zhujiazhuang has done many injustices, the heavens are angry and the people are resentful, but the war is together, the people are innocent, in order to prevent the remnants of the army from defeating and harming the place, your city can send out to catch fast archers, guard the main road, and prevent the remnants of Zhujiazhuang from becoming bandits, if our army has a disaster to the place, your department can arrest it, as long as the evidence is conclusive, our army will be severely punished, do you hear clearly?" ”

Pingyin Zhixian simply doesn't believe his ears, what does it mean? He is a dignified court official... Want to guard the place for your thief army? You also have to prevent others from becoming bandits, you Liangshan are the biggest bandits, okay.

Pingyin Zhixian was unhappy in his heart, and shouted, "So bold..."Before the words fell, he was gagged by the county Cheng and Dutou next to him, and the county Cheng smiled and said to the below, "What my adults want to say is, good... What a bold Zhujiazhuang, actually so bold, originally my family was ready to send someone to arrest him, now it is troublesome for you heroes, although you heroes go, we will guard the place, so that the Zhujiazhuang bandits will not escape. ”

The cavalry nodded, turned his head and left, and a few people let out a long breath, and the magistrate said angrily, "What are you guys doing?" This Liangshan bandit is too bold, I am a dignified court official, what is he Liangshan, he dares to order me! ”

"Your Excellency... We didn't stop you just now, but now I'm afraid that Liangshan is about to attack the city. The county next to him said, when the county magistrate heard about the siege, he immediately withered, sighed a few words in his mouth, and finally turned his hand and said, "I'm not feeling well, you can watch it!" ”

When the magistrate left, the county snorted and said, "This person is timid and pedantic, and he really isn't from my generation!" ”

The head next to him nodded and said, "Then Zhujiazhuang killed my Tianxiang student this time, I asked him to do it strictly, but he just shirked it, fortunately, Zhujiazhuang didn't know how to converge, the college came to the letter, I just need to wait and see what happens." ”

——Zhujiazhuang

"What? Did Liangshan really send troops? Zhu Chaofeng, who was over 50 years old, heard the report from the villagers, and he was about to faint as soon as he rolled his eyes.

"It's good to come! I'm afraid he won't make it! A man of twenty-five or sixteen stood up and said to Zhu Chaofeng, "Daddy, I also have more than 2,000 Zhuang Ding, if necessary, even four or five thousand people will be transferred, and I am afraid that he will not succeed!" ”

Zhu Chaofeng blamed, "The last time I killed Zhang Ze, I asked you not to say that he was from Liangshan, but you didn't listen, this is good, but you caused trouble." ”

"Don't be like this, as the saying goes, the soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth, with my Luan Tingyu, the Liangshan thieves can't get close to Zhuangzi half a step!" A man in his thirties stood up and said to Zhu Chaofeng.

Zhu Chaofeng sighed, nodded and said, "That's the only way, in addition, quickly write two letters, go to Nahujiazhuang and Lijiazhuang, this disaster, but you can't let the two families stay out of it." ”

A young man like jade stood up and said, "Daddy, I'll go to Hujiazhuang!" ”

Zhu Chaofeng saw that it was his third son Zhu Biao, pointed at him and said with a smile, "I see that you don't want to go to Hujiazhuang, you want to see your Hu Sanniang, it's just that, go and go back quickly, don't stay." ”

Zhu Biao sighed, immediately turned around and left, everyone looked at his anxious appearance, laughed loudly, Zhu Chaofeng said to Zhu Hu again, "Li Jiazhuang, you go for a trip, then Li Ying's father and I used to be friends of eight worships, he inherited his father's unlearned, not under the head of Luanjiao, you must not be presumptuous." ”

Zhu Hu was not convinced, so he answered casually and left.

- The Great Tent of the Liangshan Army

Jiang De led the army to the village near the river near Dulonggang, and was looking at the map with Xu Guanzhong in the military tent, only to hear the outside shouting, "The owner of the village, listen to the time of the camp and the arrival of Lian'er!" ”

Jiang De smiled, "It's quite fast, come in!" ”

After a year, Shi Qian is still jumping around, but Lian'er is very calm because of her long-term bookkeeping work.

Jiang De asked the two to sit down, and then summoned all the generals to gather, and said to Shi Qian, "Okay, Shi Qian, you can first talk about the situation of Zhujiazhuang and other three villages." ”

Shi Qian arched his hand and said, "Qi Yu Zhai Lord, this Zhu Jiazhuang owner is Zhu Wanmao, known as Zhu Chaofeng, this person turned out to be Li Tiande, the late original owner of Li Jiazhuang, Hu Taigong Hu Wei is a righteous brother, in fact, there was another person at that time, that is, my original teacher Bai Yunrui, these four people also did the business of the green forest, and later saved some money, my teacher retired from the rivers and lakes with the United States, these three people bought land in Dulonggang, and did today's foundation. ”

"It turns out that these families are all from the green forest, no wonder that Zhang Ze investigated the case and found Zhujiazhuang." Niu Gao patted his head and said.

Yue Fei and the others were also secretly surprised when they heard it, but they didn't expect that there would be such a story behind this.

Lian'er shook her head and said, "My father and their novices in the golden basin have been more than 20 years ago, but as far as I know, Hu Taigong and Li Taigong have been using the method of white road to make money since they washed their hands in the golden basin, but Zhujiazhuang, although it is honest on the surface, but it often robs merchants secretly, and smuggling is a common thing, otherwise it would not be among the three villages, he Zhujiazhuang is the most powerful, and its people and horses are almost the sum of the other two." ”

Jiang De nodded and said, "What about the composition of the soldiers and horses and the main generals of these three families?" ”

Shi Qian said back, "Zhu Jiazhuang is naturally headed by Zhu Wanmao, but he is already old and weak, should not be able to go to the battlefield, he has three sons, known as Zhu Jia's three masters, called Zhu Long, Zhu Hu, Zhu Biao, among the three, it is said that Zhu Biao is the most talented in martial arts, and there is a head of the sect, named Luan Tingyu, who is good at making a black tassel gun, and will also fly hammers, which is extremely powerful.

There is a son and two daughters in Hujiazhuang, the eldest daughter has been married far away, his son Hu Cheng, nicknamed "Flying Tiger", although the nickname is loud, in fact, it is not good at martial arts, but it is the young daughter Hu Sanniang, known as a zhang Qing, so that the sun and the moon double knife, good at flying rope to catch people, this woman and Zhu Biao made a marriage contract since childhood, but young, so there was no marriage.

There is only one person in Lijiazhuang, that is, its owner Li Ying, this person is the most powerful in martial arts among the three descendants, and he is good at making iron point steel guns, hiding five flying knives on his back, and can take people in 100 steps.

Among the three villages, the Zhujia soldiers and horses are the most refined, if you are in a hurry, it is not difficult to gather four or five thousand people to fight, but among them, there are only about two thousand township soldiers, of which the infantry is the majority, and the cavalry is probably less than two hundred horses, and Hujiazhuang has about seven or eight hundred township soldiers, at most two thousand people and horses can be gathered, and the cavalry is about one hundred horses. ”

Xu Guanzhong said to Jiang De, "Lord, it seems that it is not difficult for our army to win when these three families get together, but there is more trouble, according to the students, I am afraid that there are a lot of dirty things between these three families, it is better to send envoys to Hujiazhuang and Lijiazhuang first, explain that it is powerful, and then act at the opportunity." ”

Jiang De nodded yes, and said, "I knew before that the geography of Dulonggang is dangerous, if you want to enter, you must first understand its terrain, the confidential camp and the Diting camp, do you have a shadow in Zhujiazhuang in your second battalion?" ”

Lian'er came out and said, "I listened to the camp as early as last year, I arranged for people to go undercover to Zhujiazhuang, I am not afraid of your jokes, I originally had a marriage contract with the Zhu brother, I arranged for people to go undercover, but I wanted to find an opportunity, stole the marriage book and ruined the matter." ”

Jiang De waved his hand and said, "I'm not afraid now, okay, immediately send people to Li and Hu Erzhuang, so that they are not allowed to interfere, and then throw in the war letter, and tomorrow I will have a fight with Zhujiazhuang first, and then talk about others." ”

- Li Jiazhuang

"So, the Liangshan soldiers and horses have arrived?" Li Ying looked at Zhu Hu and said.

Zhu Hu raised his head and said, "That's right, my father has an order, ordering you Li Jiazhuang to immediately bring up soldiers and horses, join forces with my family, fight the Liangshan thieves, and destroy Liangshan when the time comes, and you can also share some of the credit." ”

Li Ying frowned and said, "You kid, you speak so loudly, even your father treats me well, what are you, you dare to talk like this!" ”

Zhu Hu has always been unconvinced by Li Ying, and said to Li Ying, "Master Li, my words have been brought, if you don't come to the rescue, when the Liangshan soldiers retreat, you will have to file a complaint with the court, give you a crime of thief, and leave!" With that, he left without looking back.

A man with an extremely ugly face walked up to Li Ying and said, "Master, this Zhujiazhuang is arrogant and domineering on weekdays, and today it is a big disaster, and I don't know how to repent. ”

Li Ying asked, "Housekeeper, you said I can't save it?" ”

The official said, "Master, make a slow decision, I'll introduce one person first." As he spoke, he beckoned a person in, and Li Ying saw this person's eyes and asked, "Who is this?" ”

The man arched his hand and said, "In Xialiang Mountain, I listened to Yingshixiu and saw Master Li Zhuang!" ”
