Jiang De also said, "There is merit to be rewarded, there is a punishment to be punished, today's battle, all the kings use their lives, each team votes by secret ballot to elect two third-class merits, each rewarded with copper coins, five warriors, each rewarded with five copper coins, the rest of the soldiers in the battle were rewarded with three copper coins, the remaining soldiers were rewarded with two copper coins, and the leaders were rewarded with 20 copper coins, Chao Gai and others contributed their wealth and meritorious, and each rewarded with 500 copper coins!" ”

Everyone thanked Jiang De and said, "Thank you, the owner of the village!" ”

Jiang De said again, "In today's battle, my Liangshan prestige will inevitably be more prosperous, Zhu Gui!" ”

"Zhu Gui is here!"

"I heard that you have a brother named Zhu Fu?" Jiang De asked.

Zhu Gui said in surprise, "I didn't expect the owner of the village to know, I do have a brother named Zhu Fu, who also goes to the hotel business, just in that Yishui, because of the long sleeves and good dancing, but he is decisive in killing, and he is known as the smiling tiger." ”

Jiang De nodded and said, "My Liangshan is short of people at this time, you can write a letter and ask him to come to the north to open a hotel and recruit and receive heroes from all over the world for my Liangshan." ”

Wu Yong saw that Jiang De seemed to be a little short of people, so he came out and said, "Lord, there is also one person in Xiaosheng, just recommending it." ”

Jiang De sighed and asked, "Who is it?" ”

Wu Yong replied, "That is the Jiangzhou two courts of prison section level, surnamed Dai Mingzong, extremely good at walking, claimed to be able to travel 800 miles a day, people give the nickname Shenxing Taibao, I am a close friend!" ”

Jiang De nodded and smiled, "This is a talent, can you invite it?" ”

Wu Yong said with a smile, "He is righteous, but he has his own officials, I'm afraid he won't easily follow us, but as long as Xiaosheng goes on a trip, he will come to the lord." ”

Jiang De hummed and said, "It's okay, but it's not in a hurry, when you feel that the time is ripe, it's not too late to go." ”

In the evening, it is natural to drink and eat meat, so it is not happy. I don't go into details.

Late at night, Chao Gai, Liu Tang and others came to the residence, looking at the bedding that had been prepared, Chao Gai sighed to a few people, "We have created such a great sin, where are we going to live?" It's not that the owner of the village is so wrong to love, we have all lost our place, and this kindness must not be forgotten! ”

Liu Tang touched his head and said, "It's just a pity that so much gold and silver have been returned to the cottage." ”

Wu Yong said, "Brother Liu Tang thinks like this, but it is short-sighted, I see that this village owner Xiao Langjun has the ambition of Lingyun, I am equivalent to following him, I am afraid that I will have something to do in the future, not to mention that in the past, when we robbed this Kutian Gang, we said that this is for the people of the world, if this Xiao Langjun can really use this money to save the people in fire and water, wouldn't it be happy?" ”

Gongsun Sheng also said, "That's right, Brother Chao Gai, today I see that Xiao Langjun attaches great importance to his brother, and he wants to promote his brother to sit in the position of the head of the village, can my brother think about what to do in the future?" ”

Chao Gai shook his head and said, "But I didn't think about it, I just went up the mountain, and the merit I made was just a sacrifice of some money... I'm afraid you don't know who the owner of the village is, and the property we offered is probably not a lot of money in his eyes, but this kind of credit is not enough to sit in this position. ”

Gongsun Sheng nodded and said, "That's right, so my urgent thing at the moment is to make more meritorious contributions, and if there is a war, be sure to fight more." ”

Chao Gai nodded and said yes.

Jiang De on the other side received two letters at this time, he looked at them and put them aside, and said to Xu Guanzhong, "I didn't expect Zhao Wenshan to really have some ability, at this time the cement has been successfully trial-produced, this is the good news he gave us." ”

Xu Guanzhong smiled and said, "Since it is the person chosen by the king, it will definitely not go wrong, but what about the other one?" ”

Jiang De sighed and said, "This is news from Tokyo, our Taishi has changed the official system to establish prestige, I am afraid that he is preparing for a drastic reform, by the way, the Yanfu Palace has been completed, and it is also very fast." ”

Xu Guanzhong said, "It's still midsummer when I wait out, and it's already late autumn at this time, so I think it's time for me to go back to Tokyo." ”

Jiang De hummed and said, "That's right, after a few days, we will go back to Tokyo, I'm afraid Master Zhou can't sit still in Tokyo for a long time, let's try to go back for the New Year, and wait for the spring of next year, let's go to the Western Army to have a look." ”

Xu Guanzhong smiled, "It's okay, I don't know if that black guy has caused trouble for Wang Jiaotou." ”

Jiang De said, "I'm curious about how powerful the person known as the Divine Machine Master is, Mr. Xu, I really feel that there is a shortage of people now!" ”

Xu Guanzhong understands Jiang De's distress, Jiang De's reputation at this time is not obvious, no one defects, this Liangshan is also to attract talents to work, but it is very simple to attract outlaws, and it is too difficult to attract people who can govern one side or lead the army to fight.

—The next day, the Gathering Hall

Due to the rearrangement of seats, Jiang De sat on the top at this time, Chao Gai on the left, Xu Guanzhong on the right, Wu Yong and Gongsun Sheng on the left, Cheng Min and Chen Guang on the right, and the rest of the leaders sat in two rows.

Jiang De said, "Yesterday was already fun, and today we will reorganize the army, and several leaders have worked hard." ”

Chao Gai turned around and said, "This is how it should be, the owner of the village doesn't have to be like this." ”

As he was talking, Zhu Gui walked in and said, "Brother the owner of the village, something happened, the thunder and thunder were really arrested and put in prison, it is said that he was tortured, if it weren't for Zhu Dutou's maneuvering, I'm afraid his life would be gone, then He Tao wrote a letter to Fucheng, I'm afraid it won't be long before a large army will attack." ”

Chao Gai sighed, got up and sat down, and said to Jiang De, "It's all my brother's fault, I didn't expect that He Tao is so not a thing, this Lei Heng also let me wait for a horse that night, and today I have this crime because I waited, and I also asked the owner of the village to send troops to save my brother, I am willing to be a pawn of the horse, fight that battle!" ”

Jiang De hurriedly pulled Chao Gai to sit down and said, "Where did my brother say, I have heard of this thunder on weekdays, although I dare not say that it is as clear as water and as cheap as a mirror, but I don't harass the people, I am half a good person, today since he suffered because of my Liangshan incident, he can't ignore it, how many military advisors can have a countermeasure?" ”

Xu Guanzhong said first, "I'm afraid He Tao has already regarded Lei Dutou as a scapegoat at this time, Shi Wenbin in the county probably thinks the same way, just use money to open the way, I don't think it will work, only use force!" ”

Wu Yong said, "I am very familiar with this Yuncheng, and the government only has a portrait of us, I think I can let the leader of Cheng take some people into Yuncheng to lurk, and when it gets dark, the inside and outside should be combined, and this Yuncheng will be broken by us." ”

Jiang De thought for a while and said, "This plan is very good, and it can also start our prestige, Cheng Min!" ”

Cheng Min came out and arched his hand and said, "Cheng Min is here!" ”

"You take twenty brothers to pretend to be woodcutters and coolies, with short blades and big axes, and infiltrate Yuncheng!"

"Yes!"

"Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaoqi!"

"In!"

"The two of you took twenty brothers to pretend to be fishermen, with fishing forks and short blades, and also infiltrated Yuncheng!"

"Yes!"

"Ruan Xiaowu!"

"In!"

"You're ready to be picked up by boat!"

"Yes!"

"Gongsun Sheng!"

"The poor road is here!"

"I heard that Lei Heng is a very filial person, if you don't bring his old mother, I'm afraid I don't want to go up the mountain, you take five brothers, persuade each other, and invite his old mother!"

"Yes!"

"The rest of the leaders, prepare to attack the city with me!"

"Yes!"

Xu Guanzhong suddenly said: "Lord, does he just want to rescue Lei Dutou this time?" ”

Jiang De sighed and asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Xu Guanzhong shook the feather fan lightly and said, "Shi Wenbin of Yuncheng County, I also understand a little, he is a weak and incompetent person, such a person, as long as he lures him with profit and persecutes him, he will be used by us, Yuncheng is close to Liangshan, if he can take it, there will be great benefits!" ”

Jiang De shook his head and said, "But in the land of one county, as far as we have a few hundred soldiers and horses now, it is easy to take and difficult to defend." ”

Xu Guanzhong said with a smile, "So this matter falls on Shi Wenbin, as long as Shi Wenbin is still the magistrate of Yuncheng County, and there is still the name of the Great Song Dynasty on the head of the city, who can say that this Yuncheng was taken by me Liangshan?" ”

Before the others could react, Wu clapped his hands and said, "Sir, it's a good plan, this is a plan to resurrect the soul through the corpse, and please hand this matter over to Xiaosheng, and Xiaosheng will definitely persuade him." ”

Jiang De thought about it for a while, and felt that this matter was not too risky, so he said, "It's okay, if the siege of the city goes smoothly tomorrow, Wu Junshi will take a few brothers to take a trip, if it doesn't go well, the matter will be stopped!" ”

——Yuncheng County

"How's Lei Dutou now?" Zhu Tong asked with some concern.

"Zhu Dutou, Lei Dutou just took the medicine, so he rested, but this medicine can't be used for a long time, as long as you go to the court, you must remove it, otherwise we will be discovered by the county, and we will not be able to eat it, so we will go around." A prison level said to Zhu Tong.

Zhu Tong nodded, stuffed him with ingots of silver and said, "Lei Dutou's personality, you all know it, and those brothers who came back also said that Lei Dutou definitely did not fornicate with Liangshan, and you are all colleagues, but you all have to take good care of Lei Dutou." ”

The section level said, "Don't worry about this matter, but according to the villain, Zhu Dutou still has to find a way to talk to the county lord and the government office, otherwise I don't think Lei Dutou's matter will be good." ”

Zhu Tong sighed, said a few more words, and walked out, it was almost dark outside, Zhu Tong thought about it, and felt that it was not too late to find Shi Wenbin tomorrow.

Zhu Tong was walking home, suddenly heard a fight, hurriedly looked, but it was the direction of the city gate, I don't know what happened, hurriedly ran to the city gate, and heard the sound of fighting in the palace, Zhu Tong held a knife, for a while I didn't know where to go, I thought about it and finally ran to the government, was walking, bumped into a big man head-on, rushed forward with an axe, several people behind him, each with a short blade of the knife, did not kill the people, just rushed to the city gate.

The big man saw Zhu Tong wearing an official uniform and shouted, "The dog official came just in time, eat your grandfather's axe!" Saying that it was a move Mount Tai to press the top, Zhu Tong hurriedly caught it, only to feel that a huge force was almost crushing him, and the knife brush was pressed down, and Zhu Tong was half-squatting to catch it.

"Good! Let's eat one more trick! Cheng Min saw that Zhu Tong could actually catch his own move, and he was immediately happy, like a fight, and was seen by Lei Heng, who was behind him, and hurriedly said, "Good Han Mo fight, that's Zhu Dutou, my friend." ”

Only then did Zhu Tong notice that Lei Heng was being carried behind, and he also understood that these people were here to save Lei Heng, he looked at these people, his heart was cross, and he stabbed his leg, and said, "You guys go quickly!" Be sure to take care of Lei Dutou! ”

When Cheng Min saw Zhu Tong as a hero, he suddenly had the heart to take over, and said to Zhu Tong, "Zhu Dutou, I also heard that you are also a good man, why don't you go to Liangshan with us, and then we can also achieve great things together." ”

Zhu Tong shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't want to, but I still have my mother at home, this is not a place to talk, you better go quickly!" ”

Cheng Min nodded, and ran to the city gate with Lei Heng, at this time at the city gate, only Ruan Xiaoer and others, there was no one officer and soldier, seeing Cheng Min coming, Ruan Xiaoer smiled and said, "These dog officials, it's useless, I only cut three or four people, and they all ran away, and I thought there would be a fight." ”

Cheng Min said with a smile, "These guys are here every day, it's okay to bully the people, go into battle and fight, don't be embarrassed for them, come on, let's go quickly!" ”

Ruan Xiaoer shook his head and said, "The lord has an order, let me wait to control the city gate, and he will lead the brigade into the city immediately." ”

Sure enough, after a while, Jiang De, who was wearing a black mask, rushed into Yuncheng with a large army, Jiang De said to Cheng Min and Ruan Xiaoer, "Wu Yongjun is talking about things in the county government, I will wait here, if there is a signal, immediately enter and rescue the military division!" ”

At this time, in the county office, Shi Wenbin was packing up the gold and silver, preparing to escape, he already knew that there were thieves killed in the city and the news that the cell was robbed, this is obviously for Lei Heng, God knows if these thieves will be bold to kill him, the official of the Son of Heaven, as the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, he is an upright reader, familiar with military books, and he doesn't know that the thirty-six plans are the best plan?

"Lord Prefectural! Lord Prefectural! Quickly organize the troops and horses to retreat from the enemy! A short man with a black face rushed in and shouted at Shi Wenbin.

Shi Wenbin saw that it was his own charge secretary Song Jiang, and he hurriedly said, "Song Charge Division, you came just in time, you quickly escort me and send me out of the city, I know that you are familiar with those strong people, you just save my family's life for the sake of me not caring about you on weekdays!" ”

Song Jiang looked at Shi Wenbin who was crying pear blossoms with rain, and he was so angry that he almost turned his back on him, he hated in his heart, hated why such a wreck could be in a high position, and he was both civil and military, but he was an official for one day and an official for life, he gritted his teeth and said to Shi Wenbin, "My lord, if this city is broken by thieves, I'm afraid the responsibility is not small, if there is another ginseng adult, then how can the adult deal with himself?" ”

"Well said!" An elegant voice came from outside the door, and the two hurriedly looked, only to see a person dressed as a scholar walking in.

"Who are you? Someone! Someone! Shi Wenbin shouted.

"In Xia Wuyong, don't call anymore, the adult's guards are already squatting outside, my lord, Xiaosheng is on the order of my village master, and I am talking about a business with the adult." Wu Yong said with a smile.

Shi Wenbin asked with some trepidation, "What... What business? I.. I am an official of the court, and I will not negotiate with you thieves! ”
