The people of Liangshan outside the village were sloppy, and the father and son of the Zhu family in the village were anxious. Yesterday, the people of Liangshan came, and Zhu Chaofeng found that things were not good, and sent people to the county seat for help. It's just that a day has passed now, and there are still no soldiers and horses in the county. On the contrary, it was Liangshan's side that got the help of Lijiazhuang and Hujiazhuang.

At this time, I saw that all the stores in Zhujiazhuang had knives stuck in front of the door; Each person wears a collared yellow vest and writes a big "wish"; The same is true of those who come and go.

Now Zhujiazhuang is ordered to go up; Every family wants us to be strong and ready for the next generation. But when someone heard, they had to respond. There are 10,000 or 20,000 people in this big village, and there are also three or four thousand soldiers and horses.

Looking at the dense figures outside the village, Zhu Chaofeng sighed. "I'm afraid that the soldiers and horses near the county town on the left can't be counted on, I only hope that your third brother can borrow people and horses from there."

It turned out that Liangshan was attacking, and Zhu Chaofeng had already sent Zhu Biao to Dongping Mansion for help.

Seeing that his father was depressed, the eldest Zhu Long couldn't help but feel relieved: "The third brother has always been steady, and there are many dots up and down Dongping Mansion, and it is expected that there will be reinforcements." ”

Zhu Chaofeng was still not at ease, and said: "The Liangshan thieves don't talk about the leader Wang Lun, as well as the Tokyo leopard head Lin Chong, and the blue-faced beast Yang Zhi. Your brother is three heads and six arms, how to fight the enemy! ”

At this time, the old man Zhuhu said: "Daddy, you have forgotten that there is still someone in our village who may be able to beat him." ”

"Luan Jiaotou!"

The head of Luan Jiao is the famous iron rod Luan Tingyu. This Luan Ting jade art is a famous teacher, a rare opponent in the rivers and lakes, and has been teaching people guns and sticks for a living since he became famous. Later, when I passed by Zhujiazhuang, I was recognized by the old and spicy Zhutai, and stayed to be the head of the village.

This person is silent on weekdays, does not panic when encountering trouble, and commands people calmly and moderately, and is a rare talent. It is under his training that the people of Zhujiazhuang are as strong as they are today, so they are very prestigious in the village.

This time, Zhu Chaofeng was angry for a while, and ordered: "Quickly call the head of the Luan sect to see me!" After speaking, he sensed that something was wrong, and changed his words: "I'll go and invite it myself!" ”

At this time, Luan Tingyu was inspecting the sentry, and when he saw Zhu Chaofeng's father and son coming, he had to pay a salute. "I've seen the princess, the eldest son, and the second son!"

Zhu Chaofeng held Luan Tingyu and said with a smile; "The head of the sect doesn't have to be polite, now the enemy still depends on you a lot!"

Luan Tingyu was also surprised why Zhu Chaofeng was so kind, and only then did he know the reason after listening to his words, and smiled bitterly in his heart.

But at this moment, Luan Tingyu is in Zhujiazhuang, don't look at Zhu Taigong who values him very much, and the Zhu brothers also respect him, but once they don't agree, they will turn their faces and deny people.

Luan Tingyu knew that Zhu Chaofeng was worried about the loss of his family business, so he was relieved; "Don't worry, the villain will definitely keep the villa!"

After getting Luan Tingyu's guarantee, Zhu Chaofeng was still not at ease, and asked again: "Yesterday, I asked the head of the sect to send a letter to the Dengzhou Sun Ti jurisdiction for help, but I don't know if someone can send it?" ”

Luan Tingyu agreed one by one, "It has been sent, as long as you can keep Zhuangzi for half a month, Dengzhou soldiers and horses will come to the rescue." ”

As soon as he heard that he was going to guard for half a month, Zhu Hu lost confidence and muttered: "If I wait for half a month, what will I do with the soldiers and horses in Dengzhou?" Zuo Jin's Murong Prefect and Dong Dujian have already come! ”

This embarrassed Luan Tingyu and explained; "Dengzhou is far away, and if you want to write to the prefect of Dengzhou, Sun Tizhi can send troops......"

Unexpectedly, Zhu Long waved his hand and said with a smile; "The head of the sect doesn't need to say much, it's just an extra amount of silver. As long as Sun Tiha comes to help, I will wait for 10,000 taels of silver to be delivered. "Saying that, Zhu Long looked at Luan Tingyu and said;" is the head of Luanjiao, and there are also thousands of taels of silver reward! ”

Luan Tingyu also had to explain that Zhu Chaofeng had already gone away with his son, and he sighed lightly, unspeakably melancholy.

Wang Lun saw that Zhujiazhuang was heavily defended and was ready for battle, and he couldn't help but worry that the casualties of the attack would be too large.

When he was hesitating, Li Kui shouted; "Brother! The military horses are here, Hugh has to retire! I'll kill you first! Come with me! ”

It's still unclear, Zhuang Shang already knows. In Zhujiazhuang, a cannon flew straight up for half a day. On the Dulong Gang, thousands of torches were lit together; Bows and arrows rained down on the gatehouse.

When Lin Chong saw it, he hurriedly escorted Wang Lun and retreated. Seeing this, Wang Lun had no choice but to give up. "Slowly retreat, and think about it tomorrow!"

"Three Dozen Zhujiazhuang" was the first war of aggression launched by Liangshan, and it was also a symbol of Liangshan's prosperity. Ancient and modern Chinese and foreign histories have proved that only expansion can bring power, deterrence and influence, and can it be powerful in the true sense. Conversely, when it is strong, it will bring more and more power, deterrence and influence, which will make the Quartet awe-inspired. It's a virtuous circle.

Liangshan attacked Zhujiazhuang, in fact, there is no moral sufficient reason, because Shi Qian steals chickens in the front, Shixiu roasting shop in the back, that was originally the disaster caused by three outlaws who wanted to defect to Liangshan, this Chao Gai saw very clearly, "Since I Liangshan Bo is a good man, he has been loyal and righteous, and he has been kind to the people, and one by one the brothers have gone down the mountain, and they have never broken their spirit...... These two people went to steal chickens in the name of Liangshan Bo heroes, so they caused us to be humiliated! ”

However, Chao Gai's opinion is only a simple judgment of right and wrong and a sense of reputation in a general sense, and Song Jiang, who advocated the invasion, has a much more clever opinion, "First, revenge with the cottage is not broken; the second is to avoid this junior, to be disgraced by him; the third is to get a lot of grain for the cottage; Fourth, Li Ying was invited to go up the mountain to join the gang. ”

The first two justifications are for expanding influence and prestige, which is in a political sense, while the last two are related to the acquisition of economic and powerful benefits. When it comes to long-term strategic vision, Chao Gai is indeed much worse than Song Jiang. This time Wang Lun's attack on Zhujiazhuang was also the same as Song Jiang's thoughts.

In fact, Liangshan and Zhujiazhuang have no festivals. Chao Gai, Song Jiang and others have not been established in Liangshan for a long time, and they have no intention of collecting protection fees from Zhujiazhuang. The shopkeeper opened his mouth to be a thief in Liangshan and shut up in Liangshan Caokou, obviously because Zhujiazhuang usually publicized a lot, and the public opinion of the whole village was unanimous, and Liangshan was regarded as an imaginary enemy. As soon as there is a wind and grass, the grass and trees are soldiers.

Regarding Zhujiazhuang's provocation, Song Jiang is the main battle faction. At the military meeting held in Liangshan, he put forward four convincing reasons: first, to take revenge on the cottage and not break his spirit; the second is to avoid this junior, to be disgraced by him; the third is to get a lot of grain for the cottage; The four invited Li Ying to go up the mountain and join in. In fact, there is only one core reason, that is, there are many people in the cottage, and if you build Zhujiazhuang, you can get three to five years of support.

Liang Shan didn't immediately think of going to Zhujiazhuang, but now the chicken stealing incident made it possible to "take advantage of the situation to take that guy", which suddenly contributed to Liang Shan's strategic attack.

This is the first battle after Song Jiang went to Liangshan, whether his political achievements can be established, related to his future political status and prestige, so Liangshan sent 2/3 of the main force to attack Zhujiazhuang. Judging from the situation of the matchup, Zhujiazhuang and Liangshan are chess opponents.

It is not difficult to imagine that if the government decided to send troops in a timely manner, assisting the Zhujiazhuang militia all the way, it would form a flanking attack on the Song Jiang Department; All the way into Liangshan, sneak attack Chao Gai's base camp, it is impossible to say that Liangshan will be destroyed in this battle.

But now the situation has changed, Liangshan has the help of Li Ying, Hu Cheng and others, and Zhujiazhuang has also found reinforcements from the government, and Wang Lun is not allowed to be careless. If you can't do it all at once, I'm afraid that Zhujiazhuang will fall into a bitter battle in the future.

"Why do you use three dozen in Zhujiazhuang!" Wang Lun said in his heart.
