Chapter 31: Fire and Wang Lun
Wang Yue thought to himself that it was no wonder that so many heroes and heroes came to this place, it was really because the terrain here was so good, and when they encountered the officers and soldiers, as long as they hid in the reeds, the officers and soldiers did not dare to pursue. In addition, the island is huge and formed by the sediment of the Yellow River, which can be used to grow crops, and as long as the population is sufficient, it can also form self-sufficiency. Even if the officers and soldiers close the island, the heroes can live in peace.
This place is not under the control of the emperor, there are no corrupt officials and corrupt officials, there is no oppression by power, and they are free, so the heroes will naturally run to this place.
Wang Yue and Lin Chong stood at the bow of the boat, Zhu Gui and Cao Zheng followed behind the two, and then a group of Zhu Gui's close confidants, who also participated in the fire this time.
After looking at a kind of scenery, Wang Yue said: "Brother Zhu, I don't know how many soldiers and horses there are in Liangshanbo now?" ”
Zhu Guidao: "Originally, there were only three or five hundred soldiers and horses in Liangshanbo, but in the past two years of drought in Shandong, many people have not survived, so they have come to Liangshanbo, and now there are 2,000 soldiers and horses." ”
Zhu Gui is only talking about the number of small minions, in addition to the little minions, there are countless old people, women, and children, and the number of these old people, women, and children is also thousands, and the population of the entire Liangshanbo is close to 10,000.
However, for such a large area as Liangshanbo, 10,000 people is still too small and too little, and it is simply not worth mentioning. The land area is equivalent to Hainan Island, and almost all of them are plains, not to mention 10,000 people, even if it is 100,000 or 1 million people living here, it is more than enough.
In later generations, the population of Hainan Island was close to 10 million, and agriculture was not as developed as in later generations, but there was no problem with Liangshan Bo raising a million people.
Wang Yue became more and more excited in his heart, and felt more and more that the decision to go to Liangshan was correct, this Liangshan Bo was enough to become his foundation, which could be attacked and defended, and could be vigorously developed, and he would definitely be able to prosper here.
The boat traveled for three days, and finally came to the central island, where Wang Lun, Du Qian, Song Wan and others were on this island, and most of the soldiers and horses of Liangshanbo were also stationed on this island.
Zhu Gui is the four leaders, he took a few people to Liangshan, and naturally no one would stop him.
When he came to the hall, Zhu Gui said, "Go and inform the big leader, I have something important to report." ”
Immediately, a soldier went to invite Wang Lun to come over, and after a while, Wang Lun, Du Qian, and Song Wan came together.
After Wang Lun came to the hall, he immediately saw Wang Yue, Lin Chong, and Cao Zheng behind Zhu Gui, and frowned at the moment and said, "Zhu Gui, who are they?" ”
Zhu Guidao: "I was about to report to the big chief, in order to resist the officers and soldiers, I invited three heroes from outside, and these are the three." ”
Wang Lun was unhappy in his heart and said, "What are they called?" ”
Zhu Guidao: "This one is the first good man in Shandong, Xiao Meng tastes Wang Yue, this one is the head of the 800,000 forbidden army, the head of the leopard Lin Chong, and this one is the ghost Cao Zheng Cao Zhuang. ”
Zhu Gui told the identities of the three people, Wang Lun, Du Qian, and Song Wan were all stunned, mainly shocked by the identities of Wang Yue and Lin Chong. Wang Yue and Lin Chong's status is too high and their reputation is too loud, they can't be compared at all, and the three of them never dreamed that Zhu Gui would invite two such gods.
Wang Lun's face showed a hint of a smile, but this smile was more ugly than crying, and said: "It turned out to be Xiao Meng Wang Yue, the leopard head Lin Chong, and the ghost Cao Zheng, who has been looking up for a long time, thank you for your help...... It's just that everything is fine in Liangshanbo now, and I don't need three of you to come, so please go back. ”
Zhu Gui had endured Wang Lun for a long time, and at this moment he snorted coldly and said, "Great Chief, you are talking nonsense with your eyes open. A month ago, the officers and soldiers surrounded and suppressed Liangshanbo, and we lost hundreds of brothers, if it weren't for the huge water and many reeds, everyone could hide in the reeds, I am afraid that the entire Liangshanbo would be lifted by the officers and soldiers. We need heroes from all walks of life to come to our aid, and you say you don't need them to come, what is the reason? ”
Wang Lun frowned and said, "Zhu Gui, I'll talk to them, how can you speak, shut up for me!" ”
Zhu Gui laughed and said, "Wang Lun, what are you?" It's just a fallen talent, and the text can't be a martial artist, in the past, for the sake of you being promoted to Liangshan by Chai Daguan, I have always endured you. But today, heroes like Xiao Mengwei and Leopard Head came to Liangshanbo, and you are still jealous and want to drive them away, this time I, Zhu Gui, will not agree. ”
Wang Lun didn't realize that danger was coming, and said coldly: "Then what do you want?" ”
Zhu Gui sneered: "How? Of course it's the fire that merges you! ”
At that moment, Zhu Gui suddenly pulled out his knife and slashed at Wang Lun's head, Wang Lun was startled and hurriedly retreated.
Du Qian and Song Wan saw that the situation was not right, and were about to step forward to help Wang Lun, at this time Wang Yue and Lin were impulsive, Wang Yue and Lin Chong came to the side of the two, pretending to be persuading, and held the two together, Wang Yue said: "Leader Zhu and the big leader have a conflict, let's not participate." ”
Wang Yue and Lin Chong's martial arts are so strong, they all have the strength of a thousand catties, Du Qian and Song Wan are just small people in the Water Margin, although they are anxious at the moment, they can't break away from the two of them at all.
Several of Wang Lun's henchmen were originally outside, but when they found out that something was wrong, they had already rushed over, but several of Zhu Gui's henchmen were also outside, and at this moment, Zhu Gui's henchmen blocked Wang Lun's henchmen.
Zhu Gui kept wielding a knife brush, where is Wang Lun's opponent? One is called the Dry Land Blind Law, which describes the crocodile, and the other is the first talent, although it is not so powerless, but after all, he is a literati and does not have much strength at all. After a while, only a muffled sound of "poof" was heard, and Zhu Gui's knife was inserted into Wang Lun's heart.
Wang Lun's body slowly softened, he closed his eyes unwillingly, and died under Zhu Gui's knife.
Seeing that Wang Lun was dead, Wang Yue and Lin Chong let go of Du Qian and Song Wan.
Du Qian and Song Wan were dumbfounded at this time, the big leader was actually killed by Zhu Gui, and they didn't know what to do.
In the past, Wang Lun was jealous of his ability and excluded Zhu Gui, and the two of them also followed Wang Lun to squeeze out Zhu Gui. Now that Zhu Gui is powerful, both of them are terrified in their hearts, and their bodies tremble a little, afraid that Zhu Gui will also settle accounts with them.
"Don't be afraid, I will only punish Wang Lun today, and it is not about the two of you." Zhu Guidao.
Du Qian and Song Wan hesitated for a while, and Du Qian suddenly said: "Brother Zhu Gui, you are strong in martial arts, far surpassing Wang Lun, why don't you be the big leader?" ”
Song Wan also immediately said: "Yes, yes, yes, if you are the big leader, we will be convinced." ”
These two people were both people who saw the wind and steered the rudder, and in order to save their lives, they immediately complimented Zhu Gui.
Who knew that Zhu Gui shook his head and said, "How can Zhu Mou, how can he occupy the position of this big leader?" Now there is the first good man in Shandong, Xiao Meng tastes Wang Yue here, and Lin Chong, the head of the leopard, is here, why don't you ask Wang Yue to serve as the leader of my Liangshan, and Lin Chong as the second leader of my Liangshan, I don't know what you think? ”
Du Qian and Song Wan had no choice, knowing that they were by no means the opponents of Zhu Gui, Wang Yue, Lin Chong and others, so they had to agree at the moment.
In this way, Wang Yue sat in the position of the big leader.
