Chapter 50: He Tao is captured

A small turmoil was quietly turned invisible by Du Jia, so that Wu Yong and Gongsun Sheng on the side were secretly frightened, these two people are very smart people, but in comparison, Wu Yong is more ambitious and Gongsun Sheng is better at protecting himself, so in the original plot, Wu Yong was finally co-opted by Song Jiang and abandoned the big brother Chao Gai, while Gongsun Sheng couldn't bear to betray Chao Gai, and when he saw that the signs were wrong, he made an excuse to go back to his hometown directly.

To tell the truth, Wu Yong and Gongsun Sheng do have the intention of grabbing power after going to Liangshan, at least to increase the right to speak, he doesn't believe that Du Jia has a lot of skills as a young showman, but after this skirmish, he understands that Du Jia's mind is mature far above his age, and there are Lin Chong, Shi Jin, Ruan Xiaoqi and other generals who are both powerful and loyal to him, which is not easy to replace.

The two ignored a glance and whispered a few words, and then they could see the difference between the two sides, Gongsun Sheng meant that since Du Jia was a good leader and worthy of a great responsibility, then they might as well assist him here with peace of mind and work together to do a good job of the cottage, but Wu Yong was not reconciled, and still planned to wait for another opportunity.

At this time, I saw that there was Chao Gai's subordinate Zhuang Ke outside to hurriedly report, saying that the official army was not far from here, with a total of more than 500 people, led by observing He Tao and a person named Zhang Chao to make up the road for inspection, in addition to a few Du Yu Hou assisted, He Tao led more than 100 people to walk in front, less than 15 miles away from here.

Everyone stood up when they heard this, Liu Tang was angry, and immediately shouted: "Come on, the master is waiting for them, this guy is here at the right time, Brother Chao, you hurry up and give an order to meet the enemy, kill this guy, my big knife is already hungry and thirsty." ”

Of course, Chao Gai did not give an order, but arched his hand to Du Jia and said: "Jia Shao, since we have already gone up the mountain, we naturally have to obey the general's order, and please give Jia Shao's order." ”

Du Jia smiled, but turned to Wu Yong and said: "I have long heard that Mr. Scholar is resourceful, like the reincarnation of Kong Ming, it is better to let Mr. arrange it this time, all of us are willing to obey orders." ”

Wu Yong couldn't imagine that Du Jia admired him so much, and he was quite proud in his heart, to be honest, he was also a scholar, he had already felt deep pressure from Du Jia, who was nearly ten years younger than him, but he was not under him in terms of knowledge and courage, and he also became the lord of a mountain, so now he couldn't wait to show his ability, so he just excused himself a little and began to talk eloquently.

He ordered the price of water to come down, not only the people on Chao Gai's side, but also the leaders who came down from Liangshan, and everyone immediately went down according to the order, and in the end, only Chao Gai, Wu Yong and Du Jia stayed in the house, of course, as Du Jia's personal bodyguard, Jiao Ting has been closely following him.

When Wu Yong gave the order just now, Du Jia had been watching from the sidelines, and he found that although Wu Yong was scheming and ambitious, his talent was indeed outstanding, especially in recognizing and employing people, Lin Chong and others were only the first time he had met, and he could arrange them properly according to their specialties, and he was indeed a good military advisor, no wonder Song Jiang was the first to woo him over at all costs, and even the three volumes of the Heavenly Book that made up the Xuannu Niangniang from the identity of the Xuannu Niangniang had to say that he had to say that he had to be with Tianji Xing watched together', it was clear that he was pulled away from Chao Gai, and the poor and honest Chao Gai didn't notice it at all!

So Du Jia arched his hand and said to Wu Yong: "Mr. is really talented, no matter who is the leader of this cottage, this position of military advisor is none other than Mr., and I hope that Mr. will give more advice in the future." ”

Wu Xin was also very proud of his intentions after trying his hand before, and he was very satisfied with Du Jia's arrangement for him, at first he did have the idea of letting Chao Gai turn against the customer, but now he found that Du Jia also attaches great importance to him, and everyone is a scholar, and many opinions are bound to be similar, so he suddenly feels that it is good to maintain the status quo.

Here I have to say that Du Jia is smart, in his previous life, he once read a novel, saying that sometimes for an important person between competitors and partners, blindly suppressing or tolerating is not the best policy, the best way is to ask him to help with things, and it is also in the field he is good at, so that he will feel that you are 'begging' him, and naturally there is a sense of pride, and secondly, he will also feel that you know him, so as to give birth to a sense of confidant.

It's like the protagonist in the novel used this method to become friends with a silver halberd Wenhou who is also an enemy and a friend, Du Jia also tried this method, but he didn't expect the effect to be really good, he could feel that Wu Yong's hostility and precautions against him were gone all of a sudden, although there was still a little sense of distance, but compared with before, it was already a world of difference.

Du Jia and several of them also hurriedly got on a small boat and went to the lake, and after a while, they saw that He Tao rushed into the village with dozens of dukes and more than 100 outposts, but they didn't even see anyone, but they saw that all the boats listening to the river were taken, and then they went straight to Ruan Xiaoer's house by land and water, which shows that they also did enough work before they came, and they were not as incompetent as in the original plot.

After arriving at Ruan Xiaoer's house, they shouted, and more than a dozen people rushed in bravely, but found that it was already an empty room, and there was nothing except some heavy family fires. ”

He Tao discussed with Du Yuhou of the outpost: "There are many small roads in this lake, and the roads are complicated, why don't you wait for Lord Zhang's team to arrive and then pay attention to it?" ”

Nadu Yuhou was eager to make meritorious contributions, and said disdainfully: "Why is Lord He so cautious? It's just more than a dozen thieves, and more than 100 of us don't dare to arrest them, isn't it ridiculous, the meaning of the lower officials is that we will only go all the way, we will take one when they come out, and we will take one pair when they come out, and they will make meritorious contributions in front of Lord Zhang. ”

He Tao was helpless when he heard this, so he had to say: "Since the adults are willing to go to the lower officials, they should follow." The two of them beckoned to the more than 100 people under their command, divided into more than ten small boats, and looked at the place where Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi usually fished in the depths of the lake, and walked five or seven miles of waterway in a row, but no one came out.

Nadu Yu Hou laughed and said: "Lord He, look, the lower officials said that the thieves have already fled, where do you still have the courage to fight against the imperial court?" We have to speed up, otherwise they will take the credit for falling into the hands of others. ”

At this moment, suddenly there was a singing voice from the reeds, and when they listened carefully, the song said:

"Fishing is a lifetime of Liao Erwa, don't plant mulberry and don't plant hemp.

The cool officials and stolen officials were all killed, and they faithfully repaid the Zhao official family. ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard it, but at this time, they saw a person in the distance holding a small boat singing alone, some people recognized that this was Ruan Xiaowu, and they were all waiting for meritorious service, so they immediately shouted people forward, and let a few people who were good at shooting shoot arrows at that Ruan Xiaowu, but saw Ruan Xiaowu and smiled: "You are such a corrupt official who abuses the people, you are only so bold, if the master doesn't come to look for you, you dare to come to the master to do something, and you will all die." ”

After saying that, Ruan Xiaowu jumped into the water with a somersault, and there was no trace after a waterline, and then Du Yu Hou and his party just chased after him, and after a few harbors and alleys, he saw a small boat around in front of him, and there was a person standing at the bow of the boat, wearing a green hat, wearing a green robe, holding a long knife in his hand, and singing in his mouth:

"The old man grew up in Shijie Village, and he was born to kill.

First beheaded He Tao to inspect the head, and Jingshi dedicated to Zhao Wangjun. ”

Someone shouted again: "This person is Ruan Xiaoqi." He Tao and Na Du Yu hurriedly let people chase after them, only to see that Xiao Qi's boat was just a little water with a long penny, and the boat immediately flew out of the reeds, only scurrying towards Xiaogang Lane.

The officers and soldiers rushed to and fro, and saw that the water lane was getting narrower and narrower, and there were no dry roads in sight, He Tao hurriedly asked people to stop and carefully find the way, and finally drew out the reeds and swung up, and saw a small island not far away, and a person was sitting on the shore

Walking with the hoe, He Tao asked, "Who are you?" What is this place? The man replied, "I am the dealer in this village." It's called a guillotine ditch, and there's no way. ”

He Tao said: "Have you ever seen two boats coming?" ”

The man said: "Didn't you come to catch Ruan Xiaowu?" ”

He Tao said: "How do you know that you are here to catch Ruan Xiaowu?" ”

The man said: "They only fight in the front of the Ulin. ”

He Tao said: "How many ways are there from here?" ”

The man said, "You can only see it from the front." ”

When He Tao heard this, he called the boat and went to pick it up, so he sent two men to take knives and forks and go ashore. I saw that the man lifted the hoe, and when his hand came, he took the two men and put them one with a hoe, and threw them into the water with somersaults. He Tao was taken aback, and when he jumped up, he was about to run ashore, only to see that the boat suddenly drove away, and a person got up under the water, pulled He Tao's legs, and knocked him into the water.

But the ones in the boats were about to leave, and they were driven by the hoe to come to the boat, and they were beaten one by one, and the head of the row was beaten down, and the brains were also beaten. He Tao was dragged ashore by the man under the water, so he untied his arm and tied it. Look at the person under the water, but it is Ruan Xiaoqi; The man who carried the hoe on the shore was Ruan Xiaoer.

Seeing that Du Yu was not the head, he couldn't care about the words that mocked He Tao's timidity before, and wanted to hold the boat and walk away when he turned around, Ruan Xiaoqi got on the boat with both hands, and pulled out a knife and cut him down in the water with just one knife, and the rest of the remaining officers and soldiers shouted, and they all scattered and fled, and Ruan Xiao's second brothers led people to rush up and cut down more than a dozen.
