Chapter 42: Conquering Erlong Mountain
Shi Jin ordered a group of people to camp in the forest, and Zhu Wu heard the order and hurried to the forest, after meeting with Lu Zhishen and others.
Shi Jin told about the grudge between Lu Zhishen and Deng Long, and the attack on Erlong Mountain, all of which were detailed.
Shi Jin asked, "Second brother, do you have a plan to conquer these two dragon mountains!" ”
Zhu Wu pondered for a while and said, "Big brother, in addition to the strategy of fire attack and water attack, which requires the right time and place, there are no more than three ways to tackle key problems. One is to use power to suppress people so that they surrender without a fight; the second is to attack the ants and conquer them; The third is deception. Our army has less than 300 soldiers and horses, but I heard that there are 4 or 500 people in Erlong Mountain. It is difficult to suppress people with momentum and attack strongly. For the sake of today, the only way is to deceive. Fraud can also be divided into two types: the strategy of the tiger leaving the mountain, and the deception and fraud. Deng Long of Erlong Mountain was afraid of Master Lu and closed the pass. I am afraid that the plan of diverting the tiger from the mountain will not work, and I can only deceive and deceive the pass. It's just that no one of us knows these two dragon mountains, and I don't know what his geography is. You need to find someone who is familiar with the situation of the cottage and can talk to the leader of Erlong Mountain, so you can start! ”
Hearing Zhu Wu's strategy, Shi Jin nodded with satisfaction. Sure enough, it's not a miracle military division, and it's really strategic!
When Zhang Qing heard Zhu Wu's strategy, he got up and said, "The junior brother here is the most familiar, how about I go and find out?" ”
Zhu Wu heard it and said, "It's best if Brother Zhang goes for a walk!" ”
Zhang Qing immediately said goodbye to everyone and went to inquire about the situation.
They slept in tents in the woods for the night. In the middle of the day, Zhang Qing walked into the tent with a person.
I saw that as soon as that guy came in, he immediately bowed his head and bowed.
Shi Jin saw that this person had a straight nose and a square mouth, a raccoon dog beard on his cheeks, and thick arms with a hundred catties of strength. He asked, "Brother, who is this strong man?" ”
Zhang Qing replied: "This person's surname is Cao, his name is Zheng, he is from Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo, and he is the apprentice of Lin Chong, the head of the 800,000 forbidden army. Ancestral butcher background. The villain kills good animals, picks tendons and bones, peels and pushes, and is called a knife ghost. Because a rich man in this department will teach the villain to come to Shandong as a guest, he does not want to fold his capital, and he cannot return to his hometown, so he is here to join the farmer's house. Hearing that Master Lu and Brother Shi, the sworn brothers of the head of the Lin sect, were here, he asked the younger brother to come and see him. It just so happened that this person was familiar with the situation in Erlong Mountain. Little brother, please be here! ”
When Shi Jin heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and he still had to rely on Cao Zheng, the ghost of the knife, to take Erlong Mountain.
Although he was thinking about other things, Shi Jin enthusiastically invited Cao Zheng to sit with him to discuss the attack on Erlong Mountain.
Cao Zheng sat down and said: "I heard that Master Lu and Shi Zhuang are mainly going to attack Erlong Mountain, if they are closed, Hugh said that you two, you will have 10,000 military horses, and you can't go up." It seems that this can only be outwitted, not strived for. ”
Shi Jin nodded and said: "That's exactly what I thought, but I didn't make a reason, so I can't help him!" ”
Cao Zheng said with a smile: "The villain has a plan, I don't know if the two of them are right?" ”
Shi Jin hurriedly said: "I wish to hear a good strategy." ”
Cao Zheng said: "The owner of the village also dresses like this, and only dresses according to the villain's house near the village." The villain took the master's Zen staff and sword, but asked the villain's wife and brother to take six fire families and send them directly to the bottom of the mountain, tie up a rope with the master, and the villain will make a slipknot. But he went down the mountain and shouted: 'We have opened a hotel in the near village, and this monk came to my shop to eat wine, and he was very drunk, and refused to pay back, and said in his mouth, "Go and report that someone has come to beat you in the cottage, so we listened; And when he was drunk, he bound him here and offered him to the king. He will let us go up to the mountain. When he arrived at his cottage, when he saw Deng Long, he dragged the rope off the slipknot, and the villain handed over the Zen staff and the owner. As soon as you two good men get it, that guy goes there! If the result is for him, the following people will not dare not fall short. What is the plan? ”
Shi Jin immediately shouted: "Wonderful! Wonderful! Just do so! ”
After everyone had a full meal, Shi Jin, Chen Da, Lu Zhishen, Cao Zheng and several Zhuang guests with the highest martial arts skills came to Erlongshan.
Although Cao Zheng's plan was good, but just in case, Zhu Wu suggested that the most sparse martial artist himself stay and lead the remaining guards to hide under the mountain.
If things don't go well on Shi Jin's side, Shi Jin saw the opportunity to release the arrow, and Zhu Wu immediately led the Zhuang team to attack, attack inside and outside, and overcome the pass in one fell swoop.
Shi Jin thought so, and ordered all the cadres of the Zhuang Guardian Team to listen to Zhu Wu's orders.
Then Shi Jin took off his clothes and dressed as a civilian, and tied a slipknot with a rope to tie Lu Zhishen to the master. Shi Jin and Chen Da were holding the Pu knife upside down in one hand and firmly holding the rope head in the other.
Cao Zheng was holding Lu Zhishen's Zen staff, and everyone was carrying sticks, and they came to the bottom of the mountain surrounded by Zhuang Ke.
When I looked at that level, there were strong crossbows and hard bows, and gray bottles and cannon stones.
The little minions were closed, and when they saw that the monk was tied, they flew up the mountain.
When they were diverse, I saw two small leaders come up to the gate and ask, "Where are you waiting for?" What are you doing here? Where did you catch this monk? ”
Cao Zheng replied: "The villain is a small hotel near the village at the foot of this mountain. This fat monk comes to my shop from time to time to eat and drink. He was drunk and refused to pay back the money, and said: "I want to go to Liangshanbo and call thousands of people to come, fight this Erlongshan, and wash up the village near you!" Therefore the villain had to invite him again with good wine, and when he was drunk, he tied up this guy with a rope and offered it to the king, showing the filial piety of our neighbors and other villages, so as to avoid trouble in the village. ”
When the two little leaders heard this, they rejoiced and said, "All right! The crowd stayed here for a short time. ”
The two little leaders went up the mountain to report to Deng Long, saying that the fat monk had come. Deng Long was overjoyed when he heard this, and shouted: "Xie go up the mountain, and take this guy's heart and liver to make wine, and eliminate my hatred!" ”
The little minion Luo De ordered to open the gate of the pass, and called for it.
Shi Jin and Chen Da tightly escorted Lu Zhishen to the mountain, and when they saw the three passes, the end was steep: the two mountains surrounded the future and enveloped this temple; The mountain peaks are majestic, and there is only one road in the middle; On the triple close, there are wooden cannon stones, hard crossbows and strong bows, and bitter bamboo guns are densely accumulated.
A group of people passed through three gates, when they came to the Baozhu Temple to see, the three palace gates, a section of the mirror also seems to be flat, and the surrounding is a wooden fence for the city.
There were seven or eight little minions standing under the mountain gate in front of the temple, and when they saw Lu Zhishen coming, they all pointed their hands and scolded: "You bald donkey, you hurt the king, and you have eaten it today!" Slowly crushed this guy! ”
Lu Zhishen only kept silent. When they were escorted to the Buddha hall to see, the Buddha was carried to the hall; In the middle is a tiger-skin chair; A large number of small minions, armed with guns and sticks, stood on either side. After a few moments, I saw two little minions helping out Deng Long and sitting on the chair.
Shi Jin and Chen Da tightly helped Lu Zhi to go deep down the stairs.
Deng Long said: "You bald donkey! The day before yesterday, I turned over and injured my lower abdomen, and the bruises have not disappeared so far, and there is a season to see me today. ”
As soon as Lu Zhishen saw Deng Long, he suddenly became angry, opened his strange eyes, and shouted: "Take the bird and leave!" ”
Shi Jin and Chen Da hurriedly dragged the head of the rope, dragged off the slipknot, and spread the rope, Lu Zhishen took the Zen staff in Cao Zheng's hand, and Yun Fei swiped it.
Disperse all the younger brothers around Deng Long.
Shi Jin and Chen Da also raised the Pu knife in their hands, Cao Zheng picked up the rod again, and all the villagers attacked together and moved forward.
When Deng Long was in a hurry to struggle, he was already hit by Lu Zhishen with a Zen staff, splitting his head in half, and shattering the chair.
Shi Jin immediately took a breath when he saw it, big brother, don't be a family and don't know that oil and rice are expensive. A good and beautiful tiger skin is ruined for you like this.
Seeing that the tiger skin with a hanging forehead was cut to pieces by Lu Zhishen with a shovel, Shi Jinqi waved his knife again and again, knocking over four or five of the little minions.
Cao Zheng shouted: "Come and surrender!" If they do not obey, they will be swept away and put to death! ”
In front of the temple and behind the temple, five or six hundred small minions and a few small leaders were frightened, so they had to come back and surrender. Immediately ordered the corpses of Deng Long and others to be carried to the back mountain and burned.
While going to the warehouse, tidying up the house, and then going to see how many objects there are behind the temple.
As soon as he cleaned up Erlong Mountain, the calculated loot surprised Shi Jin.
Five or six thousand taels of silver were looted from Deng Long's bedroom, and there were still 2,000 quintals of grain in the cottage, and there were a lot of brocade cloths.
In addition to these, there are five or six good horses in the cottage. This is something that money may not be able to buy, which makes Shi Jin very happy.
I can't imagine that a thief is so rich, no wonder he always says that he kills people and sets fire to the gold belt, and sure enough, the money comes quickly.
Shi Jin's eyes rolled, if he didn't have money in the future, maybe he could attack these cottages and eat black.
Subdued these little minions, and ordered people to open the pass and let Zhu Wu and them come up.
Seeing that the pass was opened, Zhu Wu, who had been waiting for him to be anxious, hurried up the mountain, and saw that Shi Jin and them were safe and sound, Zhu Wu breathed a sigh of relief.
The little minions of Erlong Mountain saw that these Shi Jin's Zhuang guests were all burly and powerful, and those who originally had different ambitions could only press it down.
Successfully snatched Erlong Mountain, Shi Jin ordered the chef of Fuchun Mansion who came with him to cook vegetables and prepare a banquet to celebrate.
During the banquet, seeing a table of dishes cooked by the chef of Fuchun Building, looking at the burning knives in the bowl, Lu Zhishen, Cao Zheng, and Zhang Qing were so surprised that they almost vomited out their eyes.
Especially Lu Zhishen, he didn't even bother to say polite words, he just picked up the bowl and dried it in one gulp, a bowl of wine was in his stomach, Lu Zhishen slapped the table angrily, "Another bowl, this wine thief is fucking comfortable." ”
Suspecting that the house was slow, Lu Zhishen took the entire wine jar in his hand and blew the jar directly.
After drinking nearly half a jar of wine and slapping, Lu Zhishen wiped his mouth, and saw that there was a chicken in front of him, Lu Zhishen didn't need to use it, he directly tore off a chicken leg with both hands, and shouted while eating, "This chicken leg is delicious, fragrant and smooth." The chickens used to be eaten for nothing! ”
After eating a chicken leg and padding his stomach, Lu Zhishen took another gulp of the wine jar and poured a few sips.
Seeing that Lu Zhishen drank nearly a jar of wine, his eyes were red and his face was red, Shi Jin said, "Brother Lu, Shi Jin has something important to ask Brother Lu!" ”
