After Shi Wengong collected his troops and returned to the cottage, Lu Zhishen, Tang Bin, Liu Tang and other brothers who had been injured by Zhang Qingshizi ran over and asked Shi Wengong, "Brother, I heard that you captured those officers and soldiers, but why did you want to return them to him?" Isn't this a return of the tiger to the mountains? ”

"That's it!"

After Lu Zhishen and others took the lead, there were many people in the lobby who responded to the Tao.

Immediately, Shi Wengong stopped everyone's talk, and then said, "Brothers, don't panic first, listen to a certain word first." The reason why I will let them go back is because I take a fancy to their martial arts and loyalty, and I can't bear to harm him for no reason, and I don't want to force him to go against my will in my Liangshan, so the two are in a dilemma, but it is better to let him go and leave, but I can still spread the prestige of my Liangshan. ”

After hearing Shi Wengong's words, Lu Zhishen and the others all kept their mouths shut, but then someone asked, "But Jeju actually came to attack me Liangshan twice in a row, such a grudge, do we have to endure it?" ”

After hearing this, Shi Wengong said again: "There is also a point on this point, and the banner that I set up in Liangshan for the way of heaven is to eliminate evil and promote good, and do things for the people." Now the new Jeju Taishou Jang Shuye is a clean and good official, and having him in Jeju is a blessing for the people of Jeju. If we go to invade the state city, we will stir up disputes and bring disaster to the people, and in this way, it will contradict our original intention of doing the right thing for heaven, and how can we call ourselves heroes again. ”

"As the so-called people do not stand without faith, a manly man, he should do what he says, and have the heart to repay grievances with virtue, like such a good official, a certain Shi Wengong will not seek trouble for him, so as not to be condemned by his conscience."

After hearing Shi Wengong say this, everyone didn't know what to say to refute Shi Wengong, so they had to retreat one after another and stop talking.

Seeing that all the heroes were silent, Shi Wengong said again, "All the brothers don't have to be careful, after all, we didn't get nothing this time, at least we still captured a thousand soldiers, which can be regarded as a happy thing." And after this battle, we have also seen that there are masters outside the cottage, so the way of martial arts is endless, we can only continue to improve our martial arts, in order to better protect ourselves in the next battle! ”

"My brother's words are very reasonable, if we hadn't suffered such a great defeat today, I am afraid that in the future, we would have become more and more arrogant, so that our strength would have declined, and in the end we would have regressed, but it would not be beautiful in the end."

"Yes, as the so-called shame and courage, even if Zhang Qing's stone is a wake-up call for your brothers today, and I let Zhang Qing go back, it is also to leave a brand in your brothers' hearts, after all, after I Liangshan grows stronger in the future, I will inevitably fight with him again, and at that time, I hope that your brothers will not be defeated by him again!"

"Brother, rest assured, after this battle, we have already learned a lesson in our hearts, and we will be diligent in practicing martial arts after returning to the villages, and nothing like today will happen again in the future!"

Under Shi Wengong's encouragement, instead of having the slightest resentment, Lu Zhishen and the others also had a great boost in morale, shouting that they would surprise and fear Na Zhang Qing next time, and they would not eat his stones again.

The mood of the leaders in Shi Wengong's cottage calmed down, but after Dong Ping and Zhang Qing led the Jeju soldiers who had been stripped of their armor and weapons back to the city, they were severely reprimanded by that Zhang Shuye.

"Nonsense! Without my order, you dare to send troops to attack the Liangshan bandits' nest without permission, if the Holy Lord blames him, how can you let the official say it, and how can you save your life! ”

"I'm sorry, Lord Taishou, this matter is to blame on the last general, it was the last general who proposed to attack Liangshan, General Zhang Qing and the two sons want to help me, if there is any punishment, the adult only punishes the last general!"

"Nope! This matter is also to blame the last general, it is the last general who holds his own bravery, and underestimated the Liangshan bandits, so he is going to attack, and it has nothing to do with General Dong Ping, and please punish the last general! Zhang Qing saw that Dong Ping wanted to bear the responsibility of the crime, and he couldn't bear it, so he also asked for the guilt.

"Father, don't, although this matter was proposed by the two generals, but this idea is what the child thinks, if there is a punishment, please also ask the father to punish the child, don't affect the two generals Dong Zhang!" Hearing that, Dong Ping and Zhang Qing each received their own responsibility, and Zhang Lizhang used the two of them to ask for guilt together.

After seeing that these four people had stopped the blame on themselves, which was very different from the incompetent soldiers elsewhere who only knew how to shirk responsibility, the resentment in his heart was also soothed.

Although the sergeant did not suffer much damage in this battle, he lost a thousand sets of armor and weapons, which really annoyed Uncle Zhang. However, after that, Zhang Lize conveyed Shi Wengong's words to Zhang Shuye, and after Zhang Shuye heard that he wanted to rest assured that he would not come to invade the state city in the future, he said.

"Listening to what he said, I can take it seriously, after all, now he has seized a total of 2,000 sets of armor and weapons from my Jeju City, if he wants to invade my city, how can he let you wait to return it, and directly take advantage of my unpreparedness, and send troops to attack."

As soon as Uncle Zhang's words came out, the four of Dong Ping all nodded yes, and then, Uncle Zhang Ye said again, "Judging from the current situation, although the two generals Dong and Zhang have not been able to help me eliminate the Liangshan bandits, the people of Liangshan will not attack again in a short time." These days, it has been hard work for the two generals Dong and Zhang, and I also ask the two generals to rest from the mansion for another night tonight, and return to Dongping and Dongchang Mansions tomorrow. ”

Hearing that Uncle Zhang actually issued an eviction order, the four of Dong Ping were surprised, and they didn't want to be with the other three brothers immediately, but what Lord Taishou said was reasonable, after all, he called himself over to help him prevent Liangshan thieves from invading the city, and now that he can be sure that the people from Liangshan will not come, he and the two of them really have no reason to stay.

After Dong Ping and Zhang Qing pondered for a while, they bowed their hands to Uncle Zhang and said, "In this case, the two of us will leave tomorrow, there will be a lot of disturbance these days, and I hope Lord Taishou will forgive me." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, speaking of which, it's hard work for the two generals to come thousands of miles to help, but it's the official who makes up for the trouble for the two generals."

Uncle Zhang had a polite conversation with Dong Ping and Zhang Qing again, and then he went down to prepare a banquet for the two, leaving only Dong Ping and the four of them waiting here.

At this time, the sadness of parting permeated the entire hall, and then Dong Ping said, "Brothers cheer up, speaking of which, I, Dong Ping, can make friends with the three of you, but it is also worth the trip!" ”

"Not bad! I Zhang Qing too, this life can meet with the three brothers, but it is my Zhang Qing's blessing, as the so-called world does not have a banquet, the short separation is just to usher in a better meeting, I believe that our four brothers will meet again in the future, tonight, let us not get drunk and not return! ”

"Yes, if you don't get drunk, you won't return!"
