Chapter 104 Soldiers Approaching the City
After stopping for a night in Qingfeng Town, the Liangshan Yijun did not commit any crimes. On the second day, Wang Lun arranged for someone to escort Hua Rong's wife and Hua Xiaomei back to the mountain early. Wang Lun gave an order, pulled out the camp, escorted the chariots, and traveled to Qingzhou.
Although Wang Lun did not directly reinforce Chao Gai around Erlong Mountain, Ma Ling and Yang Lin also sent messages back and forth, knowing that the official army was retreating.
Chao Gai suffered the loss of Qingzhou's official army, so he naturally refused to give up, so he proposed that the three roads would attack Qingzhou. learned from Yang Lin that Chao Gai had a resolute attitude, and there was Song Jiang of Baihu Mountain on his side, so Wang Lun also agreed.
As he was walking, he saw the dust in front of him, and Shi Qian, who was passing the order back and forth, was overjoyed and said: "Needless to say, this must be the Chao Tianwang here!" ”
Wang Lun sent Yang Lin to ride a fast horse to the outpost, and at the same time ordered Hua Rong, Yang Zhi and others to form a circle formation to defend themselves, and Lu Fang and Guo Sheng responded by the side.
Li Kui couldn't help but say: "Brother of the village owner, why are you so cautious? ”
Wang Lun looked at the rolling red dust that was getting closer and closer, and said: "Zhuge is only cautious in his life, and he still has the loss of the street pavilion, not to mention you and me?" ”
Hua Rong was born in the military team, and he was familiar with military books since he was a child, and at this time, he saw Wang Lun being dispatched to the battle, and his manners were lawful, and his subordinates were acting in an orderly manner, and he secretly obeyed in his heart: "No wonder Mr. Jin Jian, Li Zhu and other characters are full of praise for my brother." Sure enough, he is a talented man with both civil and military skills! Hua Rong can work hard for such a hero, but this life is not in vain! ”
Not long after, Yang Lin had returned with the scout, but it turned out that Chao Gai had first led three hundred fine horsemen to answer. Liu Tang and other brigades were still in the rear, scattered and ambushed in the wilderness, so as not to alarm the government.
Not long after, Chao Gai arrived early, and when he got off the horse to talk to Wang Lun and the brothers, he looked at the round array around him and asked with a smile: "Who wrote this?" ”
Li Zhu said on the side: "I said that my brother is too cautious. How is it? Sure enough, it was a false alarm. ”
Chao Gai laughed out loud, took Wang Lun's hand and said, "Brother Bofu, there is really the legacy of Yafu Xiliu. ”
"Deserved, deserved!" Wang Lun didn't even dare to say it.
It turned out that Zhou Yafu was a famous general of the Han Dynasty, and the fine willow battalion where he garrisoned was deeply strict and inviolable.
Chao Gai had already seen the majesty of Liangshan's military horses at this time, and he thought of Wang Lun's affection, so Tuan Tuan saluted and said: "For Chao Gai alone, I have worked hard for the Liangshan brothers, thank you here!" ”
Li Zhu watched what Chao Gai did from the sidelines, not only was he vigilant! This Chao Gai is also a hero, this attack on Qingzhou is his proposal, although he and Wang Lun's brother are irreversible, but I also have to remind my brother.
Over there, Wang Lun saw Chao Gai's politeness, and he hugged him a long time ago. "Where's my brother? Now the beheaded brothers have not prayed to heaven and earth, but they are like flesh and blood. Leaving the Erlongshan brothers alone, how can I feel at ease? A few days of fighting, just to show our means! ”
Speaking of the rising place, Wang Lun made an appointment with the army, and at this juncture, he swore a joint oath: "That is, now, the sky and loess are seeing, and I am a group of brothers who want to create the opposition of the world and the court, and many good men can be safe and stable, but for Wang Lun's affairs, they stir up the righteousness in their chests, and since then they have not avoided life and death, and righteousness has followed." Now that Liangshan is prosperous and many good men are obedient, Wang Lun will not let the blood in the necks of his brothers warm his own house. Whenever there is a war, be the first to take the lead, live and die together. ”
For a time, hundreds of nearly a thousand heroes in the mountains shouted loudly, and the sound shook the hills.
Not to mention the people in Liangshan, even the people of Erlongshan also felt their blood boiling. Chao Gai saw Wang Lun and said in his heart: My brother seems to be a natural leader!
When everyone settled down, Chao Gai and Wang Lun said: "Brother go down the mountain, the water will be fine." Is it okay to just ask the old lady? Hugh teaches you and my brother, and the old lady suffers! ”
Chao Gai and Wang Lun are friends in the house, so they care about Wang Lun's mother's health.
Wang Lun smiled: "It must be fine, brother rest assured." Speaking of this, he remembered Wang Xin's safety, so he said: "But Erlang went to Jiangnan last month to do business, but he was nowhere to be found, and he said that he recruited Manichaean people!"
Chao Gai and Wang Xin intersected, and they were still before Wang Lun, and they hadn't seen each other for half a year at this time. "How can such a thing be? I have a brother from Jiangzhou, and I will send him to Jiangnan to inquire later. ”
Knowing Chao Gai's good intentions, Wang Lun did not persuade him.
The two talked again, so they planned to attack Qingzhou this time. Chao Gai asked in a low voice: "It's just that with the current situation, seeing that Qingzhou is right now, you and I raise our arms and exhale, and we don't worry about echoing like mountains and seas, but I don't know, this can be used as a place to guard?" ”
Listening to Chao Gai's meaning, he had the idea of separating one side.
Wang Lun pondered for a long time, and Fang sighed: "I'm not afraid to teach my brother to know, along the way, I have seen it, and the people have not really lost the court in their hearts, although Qingzhou is big, there is no danger to defend." It is to take Qingzhou Mansion, and the people are not willing to take it from you and me, nine times out of ten, so, there are no soldiers, and there is no food, how can it be a long time? ”
Li Zhu also said: "Although Murong Yanda is a straw bag, he is a relative of the emperor. At the same time, there is Zhang Shuye in Dengzhou and Cheng Wanli in Dongping Mansion, which are not easy to get along! ”
Chao Gai only has his own strength, and seeing that Wang Lun is not optimistic at this time, he no longer said that he will gather Qingzhou, but said: "Although Qingzhou is big, the government is greedy and looted, we can't realize it, but we say that this platoon of troops is not underestimated, all over Qingzhou, no one can reach it." ”
Erlongshan turned from danger to safety, and Chao Gai was also in high spirits.
A few people said that while walking, the army had reached ten miles away from Qingzhou. Wang Lun led Liangshan to camp, and Chao Gai did not bother, and went to find Songjiang Dazhai.
In the evening, Chao Gaifu came over again, but he brought several leaders of Erlong Mountain over. Liu Tang, Gongsun Sheng, He Tao and other Wang Lun already knew each other, but there were four new leaders specially introduced by Chao Gai this time.
"This Zou Yuan brother was originally an idle man in Laizhou, Shandong, who was loyal and generous, and had good martial arts. But he has a strong temperament, refuses to tolerate people, and is also fond of gambling money, so people give him the nickname Lin Long. I heard that I attacked Qingzhou, and I came to help! ”
"Zou Run is his nephew, about the same age as him, with a similar personality, he is tall and big, and he has a sarcoma in the back of his head, so he is nicknamed Unicorn. Zou Run usually likes to quarrel with people, so when he gets annoyed, he crashes into people's homes, and once he even broke a pine tree, which stunned the people next to him. Later, the uncle and nephew pulled eighty or ninety people, climbed the cloud mountain and fell into the grass, robbed the house, and did some business without capital. ”
"Zou Yuan and Zou Run meet Brother Wang!"
Wang Lun listened to Chao Gai's introduction, and when he looked at it, it turned out that the two uncles and nephews were very similar. However, he also wondered why the Zou brothers defected to Chao Gai at this time.
"These two are Shi General Shi Yong and the sick insect Xue Yong, one gambles for a living, and the other walks the street, both of whom are Xintou's brothers. Brother Xue Yong is used to traveling from south to north, and he just came back from Jiangzhou, so he happened to find news of Erlang. ”
"Shi Yong and Xue Yong have seen the lord of Wang Dazhai!"
What Xue Yong thought about was that he didn't want to be a young man, but now he has become a hero.
Shi Yong thought that Wang Lun was a big problem for Brother Song Jiang, no simpler than Chao Gai, and I had to deal with it carefully.
Wang Lun, who was at the top, didn't know Shi Yong's thoughts, but after helping the two of them, he looked at Xue Yong and said, "Brother Xue has met me in Jeju!" ”
Xue Yong didn't want Wang Lun to have such a good memory, and he also remembered the events of three or five years ago, so he was embarrassed and said, "I have indeed seen ......."
Then talking about the experience of meeting Wang Lun and Du Qian that day, everyone laughed.
