Three days later, Song Jiang had to report that everything was ready, so he asked everyone to board the ship in batches and start to go out of the water, which took a day to transport 10,000 minions, Song Jiang ate and drank with his brothers at Zhu Gui's meal, and the little minions were arranged to camp outside.

Although Song Jiang has a head of the forbidden army like Qiu Yue in his team, the quality of this training is also unsatisfactory, and the camp is disorganized, and there is not even a nearest camp wall.

Everyone didn't think there was anything wrong, Zhang Heng and Tong Meng politely rejected Song Jiang's invitation to send troops together on the grounds that their subordinates were not good at land warfare, which made Song Jiang's 10,000 soldiers have more water.

Because Zhang Heng and Tong Meng's naval army has more than 2,000 people, there are already 6,000 people, minus these two thousand, then there are more than 4,000 left, and this number of people does not have any advantage in fighting head-on with the garrison of Dulonggang, not to mention that there are 500 soldiers who are Li Zhong's subordinates.

Therefore, as long as Song Jiang and the others do not use the demon method, it is basically unlikely that they will win, and Zhu Wu's main job will become to control the rhythm of the war, so that this battle will be better to fight, and Liang Shan will not lose too ugly.

The next day, when the Liangshan army was marching out, Song Jiang arranged for someone to send a letter to Dulonggang, and the letter was written by Chao Gai himself, the content was Chao Gai and Zhang San's old words, and how difficult he was, hoping that Zhang Sannian would lend him some food in the past.

In fact, at this time, this letter has become a war letter, Zhang San is not in Shandong, you have sent troops before you think of sending a letter to others, people asked you to wait for ten days and half a month with the army to wait for a reply, do you do it?

The minions who got the letter are not stupid, they will quickly start the war and send the war letter to the enemy, this work is fatal, although the two armies do not fight each other, but the minions are also afraid of what happens, so the minions saw the patrol team outside Dulonggang, handed the letter to the patrol officers in Dulonggang and ran away.

At this time, there was indeed a small dispute in Song Jiang's army, that is, Qiu Yue and the Zhu brothers began to fight for the vanguard, and the Zhu brothers naturally needless to say, what a beautiful and face-saving thing it is for people to fight back to their hometown, they naturally have to fight bravely.

And Qiu Yue felt that it was not enough to fight such a village with hundreds of people in one drum, and it would be more face-saving for him to succeed in such a fanfare action, so he always said that his martial arts were strong and suitable for taking the lead, and the first battle should be majestic.

Song Jiang was also a little hesitant when he heard this, on the one hand, the three brothers of the Zhu family who claimed to be familiar with the terrain, and on the other hand, Qiu Yue, who said very reasonably, seeing that the two sides were arguing, Song Jiang simply made peace with the mud and asked the two sides to bring a thousand people to the forward to jointly send troops.

The four of them rode away with a thousand minions screaming, Song Jiang looked at the mighty team and was very satisfied, this was the first time he led the troops, although the order of the team was a bit messy, although the weapons were a bit varied, and the clothes were varied, but after all, it was a team of thousands of people.

Why did Song Jiang have to fight Dulonggang, this was also after his careful consideration, Tong Guan in the imperial court and the Ryukyu Kingdom Jiangnan lost five or six hundred thousand troops in the first battle, and now the Great Song Dynasty heard about the Ryukyu and changed color, and the current Ryukyu merchants are rampant in various places.

When local officials encounter disputes between Ryukyu merchants and local businessmen, they will generally favor Ryukyu businessmen, because after the Ryukyu businessmen feel that it is unfair, they will ask the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to send a note at every turn, hand over a letter of state or something, and those officials of the Ministry of Rites are Cai Jing's party, and when they encounter this kind of thing, they will first reprimand the local officials without asking questions.

There's no way to beat people, the top is cowardly, who dares to cause trouble below? So now the status of the Ryukyu merchants and the merchants of the Liao State in the Great Song Dynasty is the same, and they are superior everywhere.

Song Jiang felt that this was his chance, when no one else dared to offend Zhang San, he dared! When others can't beat the Ryukyus, he easily cleans up the Ryukyu people, and it will definitely make everyone's eyes light up when the time comes.

When the time comes, he will be able to attract the attention of the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, and when the time comes, he will not recruit himself to make himself a big official, Song Jiang feels that his plan is very perfect, but Song Jiang feels that it will hinder his estimate now that it is Chao Gai.

The more Song Jiang knows about Chao Gai now, the more he feels that he will not agree to Zhao'an, and if he does not agree with Zhao'an, he is Song Jiang's enemy, and Song Jiang has the idea of getting rid of Chao Gai for the first time.

However, Wu Yong's eyes on the day he left made Song Jiang ponder now, Song Jiang has always been cautious about smart people, and Song Jiang didn't know whether Wu Yong was showing favor to himself or setting up a trap for himself to drill, and he was busy arranging things for the expedition in the past two days, and he didn't have a chance to talk about it in detail, so he had to continue to take a look.

When Song Jiang was thinking about these things, Qiu Yue and the three brothers of the Zhu family had already gone to Dulonggang with a roar, but as soon as they arrived at the foot of the mountain, the three brothers of the Zhu family frowned, this road is no longer the road it used to be.

Qiu Yue looked at the three brothers of the Zhu family and asked curiously, "What's wrong?" What's the problem? ”

The Zhu brothers looked at each other, and the eldest Zhu Long said: "Qiu Dangjia doesn't know, this was originally a maze called the Lost Forest, and there is only one way to bypass the trap to lead to the gang, and the rest are dead ends, but now the roads here have changed, and we don't know for a while that one leads to the gang?" ”

Qiu Yue asked, "Then we are driving a road from the woods." ”

Zhu Long shook his head and said: "This forest was originally full of traps, even the hunters on the village did not dare to enter easily, and now after modification, I am afraid that they will not be able to leave." ”

Qiu Yue's eyes rolled and said: "This Dulonggang is different from the past, I heard that there is an endless stream of merchants every day, there must be a big road on this gang, otherwise the merchants are all caught in this lost forest, what kind of business do they do?" ”

Zhu Long nodded and said: "There is indeed such a road, but there is a valley first, a line of sky, then a dense forest, and finally a slope, and there is a pass on the slope called Dulong Pass, so Dulonggang is named." ”

Qiu Yue heard this and asked, "Oh? What's so important at this juncture? ”

Zhu Long replied: "This pass is only five or six zhang wide, and it is built with stone walls and stone gates. And the road is a treacherous place, and walking this road is tantamount to a sheep entering the mouth of a tiger. ”

Qiu Yue was in a hurry at that time, this big road can't be walked, and the small road is not recognized, how is this good? He scolded: "Can one or two thousand of us still be trapped by this small forest? Why don't you go and give it a try, send more people and try it a few more times? ”

Zhu Long smiled bitterly: "Never? When my younger brother was a child, he was greedy for fun, and misreported that more than 3,000 people in our village went into the woods to find it, and this mountain forest was very wide, and there were no 3,500 people who couldn't find the way. ”

Qiu Yue asked curiously, "Then how did you come out?" ”

Zhu Long pointed to the mountain and said: "Originally, there was a Pantuo road left by the masters, and we have a mantra in Zhujiazhuang 'When you meet a poplar tree, you can get out of Pantuo Road, and when you see the tree turn to the right, you don't care about the width and narrowness'." ”
