Chapter 80 Zhou Tong, who is weak and weak
Ladies and gentlemen, which hero did you throw stones in the woods and help Zhou Tong! It is under Wang Lun, the owner of Liangshan Dazhai, and Ma Ling, the god colt who is now ranked seventeenth.
On that day, Wang Lun found that not only the heroes in the Dulonggang area of Yunzhou, but also Zhou Tong from Taohua Mountain in Qingzhou also came. Wang Lun also found out that Zhou Tong and Zhujiazhuang were secretly communicating with each other, so he sent Ma Ling to follow Zhou Tong.
"That day, the younger brother followed Zhou Tong and waited at the intersection of Zhujiazhuang for two hours, and saw Zhou Tong begging Zhu Biao for remuneration for doing things, but the two disagreed, so they started to move." Ma Ling returned to Hujiazhuang and reported Zhou Tong's whereabouts and observations to Wang Lun, "Seeing that Zhou Tong was in danger, the younger brother saw that his brother was defensive of Zhujiazhuang, and secretly helped Zhou Tong and let him escape." The younger brother is in the dark, and no one notices. ”
For Wang Lun, the little bully Zhou Tong is an insignificant little person. It doesn't matter if you save him or not, looking at his lustful and greedy appearance, if you bump into Wang Lun in the future, you may want to eliminate harm for the people. Zhou Tongyi is the boss of Taohua Mountain in Qingzhou, and he is the first person to occupy the mountain as the king. Later, he met Li Zhong, a tiger general who was beaten by the men of the rivers and lakes, and gave up the position of the owner of the village under the defeat, and took Li Zhong as the boss, and retreated to the position of the second. Li Zhong's martial arts are already quite low, and Zhou Tong is inferior to him, which shows the level of this person.
Wang Lun nodded, he didn't care about Zhou Tong, but he was very concerned about Zhujiazhuang, "What about Zhujiazhuang?" After all, this Zhujiazhuang is the first person who dared to call out Liangshan in the original book in addition to the government, and the first achievement of Song Jiang going down the mountain by mistake was achieved, and Wang Lun was very concerned.
"The younger brother also walked into Zhujiazhuang, although it is Zhuangzi, it is the scale of a small mountain city. The inside and outside of the triple city wall, the blue bricks are wrapped in yellow mud, and there are three zhang high. There are about 20,000 households in the village, with a large population, mainly with the surname Zhu, which is very xenophobic. ”
After breathing a sigh of relief, Ma Ling said again: "Because thieves have been rampant recently, I heard that Zhujiazhuang is rectifying the township soldiers and organizing and training teams, which are led by the three heroes of the Zhu family. Luan Tingyu, the head of the gun and stick sect invited by Zhujiazhuang, was very much used by Zhu Chaofeng and had an overview of the whole army. When the younger brother left, Zhujiazhuang was purchasing iron materials to build weapons. ”
"I don't want Zhujiazhuang to be so powerful, and now Hujiazhuang is at odds with it, so you can't be careful." Wang Lun didn't know that this was the butterfly effect brought about by his coming to the Water Margin world, just as Zhujiazhuang was originally like this. After all, in the original work, Zhujiazhuang is a large-scale landlord armed force that occupies the realm of Yunzhou.
"That's right, brother!" Ma Ling remembered something again, and said to Wang Lun, "When the younger brother left, I heard that the travelers on the same road said that Zhujiazhuang had begun to drive away foreign enemy personnel, and they also bought saplings on a large scale, and some people said that they wanted to plant trees, which is really strange!" ”
Ma Ling didn't know why, but Wang Lun knew it in his heart, and asked directly: "The saplings bought and sold in Zhujiazhuang are all poplar trees?" ”
Ma Ling thought about it, and it was really like this, "Yes, yes, all the poplars are purchased!" After nodding and answering, Ma Ling looked at Wang Lun and waited for Wang Lun's answer.
Wang Lun smiled, thinking that what he thought was not bad, so he said to Ma Ling: "This is just to build Pantuo Road and plant trees on both sides!" ”
Looking at the unfathomable Wang Lun, Ma Ling didn't know why the elder brother of the owner of the village was so sure. When he wanted to ask again, Wang Lun had already gone out.
But it is said that this peach blossom mountain is named after peach blossoms, and there are peach trees on the mountain, and there is a large forest in a valley. It's just that now it's winter, and the mountains are snow-white, and you can't see a little greenery.
Zhou Tong chose to fall on the grass in Peach Blossom Mountain, which is a good place. Although the name of this peach blossom mountain is beautiful, it is actually a treacherous place, surrounded by steep terrain, full of wild grass and strange rocks, difficult to climb. There is flat land on the top of the mountain, which is just enough to build a village for military training. There is only one road on the mountain, and Zhoutong has set up two passes, which is really very safe.
Now follow Zhou Tong to make a living in Taohua Mountain, and there are three or four hundred people who do business without capital, including more than 200 young people. Back at the cottage, thinking of the bullying of the Zhu brothers, Zhou Tong was angry and ordered his subordinates to count the materials of the cottage.
"Brother, the inventory of cottage materials is here, please check it out!" The minions who are Zhou Tong's deputies must be counted and handed over to Zhou Tong for inspection.
Zhou Tong saw that there were barely 340 soldiers in the cottage, 160 well-equipped spears, 220 knives, and 38 bows and arrows. In addition, there were twenty-three healthy horses, sixteen horses, two hundred taels of gold, more than four thousand taels of silver, two thousand three hundred quintals of grain, and so on.
"Hey! That's all I have to do! Thinking that there were four or five thousand soldiers in Zhujiazhuang, with a population of tens of thousands, Zhou Tong only felt that there was no way to take revenge, and sighed heavily.
"Set the wine!" Immediately, Zhou Tongyi was excited, and depressedly ordered his subordinates to set up a banquet and get drunk first.
The clever minions of his subordinates have already prepared wine and meat after listening to Zhou Tong's orders. Chicken, duck, fish, wine and delicacies were served according to Zhou Tong's preferences.
Zhou Tong was bored drinking alone, so he called a few minions that he usually had to use to drink with him. These minions are just ordinary stomach sausages, and after drinking a few glasses of wine, their faces are flushed, and they can't drink anymore.
This time it aroused Zhou Tong's sadness, and when he put the Zhu family brothers right, none of his minions stepped forward, and they all ran away. Seeing that his subordinates were all such pustules, Zhou Tong was angry again. "When I can get a hero as a companion, even if I give him the position of the owner of the village, it doesn't matter!"
Zhou Tong, who was depressed, drank another glass of wine, and waved his hand to ask his subordinates to remove the wine table. "It's so boring, it's all gone!"
At this moment, the minions who were watching the wind at the bottom of the mountain ran into the hall and bowed down in front of Zhou Tong, "King, there is a lone traveler coming down the mountain, and he has a heavy burden. The little ones were happy to see the hunt and immediately stepped forward to ask for money to buy the road. I don't want that man to have a powerful stick in his hand, the brothers are not opponents, I would like the king to take it! ”
Hearing the heavy burden of pedestrians in the past, Zhou Tong was overjoyed, and his heart said that there was another entry today. But when he heard that his subordinates couldn't resist the pedestrians and were beaten, Zhou Tong was annoyed again.
"It's all stupid, and more than a dozen people can't deal with a single person!" Zhou Tong on the wine head hated that iron could not become steel, and scolded loudly.
But after all, Peach Blossom Mountain is his own field, and these minions are his cronies, so of course Zhou Tong wants to get back face. "Humph! I don't know where the wild man came from, and he dared to come to Tai Sui's head to break ground, and today let you know how powerful the little overlord is! ”
Zhou Tong was bullied by the three heroes of the Zhu family, and now another nameless person injured his subordinates and bullied him to his doorstep, Zhou Tong couldn't bear it anymore. Told the minions to take the green heavy spear, put it on the battle, and led seventy or eighty minions down the mountain to meet the battle. [.]
