Chapter 9 Wu uses stratagems
In Dongxi Village, Chao Gai looked at the mountains of grain and the luxurious manor, and sighed in his heart, the family business accumulated by these generations can only bring some gold and silver, and the other goods are afraid that they don't know who is cheaper.
At this time, Wu Yong saw Chao Gai's reluctance, after all, he said that he would move Chao Gai and rob the birth gang. Wu Yong thought for a while and said: "Brother Chao, things have come to this day, no matter how reluctant you are, you must be willing to give up, don't be kind to women." ”
Chao Gai took a deep breath and said, "I know it's powerful, don't worry, professor." How much luggage to pack. ”
Wu Yong replied: "In addition to the 60,000 habits of the Birth Gang, my brother's house has packed eight or nine boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, and a few of us together with Zhuang Ke, the manpower is barely enough, now eat something, and we will set off." ”
Chao Gai said strangely: "Don't wait for the lord of Liangshan Deng Zhai"?
Wu Yong was puzzled: "I don't know why, I always feel that things are a little bad, let's hurry up." ”
After finishing speaking, Zhuang Ke ran and said: "Baozheng, three or four hundred people came outside, claiming to be Deng Long, the owner of Liangshan Cottage. ”
Chao Gai was startled and hurriedly came outside. hugged his fists and said: "The owner of the village personally came down the mountain to save him, Chao Gai is very grateful!" ”
Deng Long hurriedly helped Chao Gai up and said, "Brother Chao doesn't need to be polite, I should have come to see Brother Chao first." It's just that Liangshan is busy, so I don't have a chance to go down the mountain to see it. Today, when I heard that my brother was in trouble, I hurried down the mountain to help, but fortunately I didn't miss a big thing. ”
Chao Gai smiled: "The kindness of the owner of the village, Chao Gai is unforgettable, please come in quickly, but there is no time today, otherwise Chao Gai will be drunk with the owner of the village." ”
Walking into the manor, it is completely different from the desolation of Shijie Village, with pavilions and pavilions, houses in pieces, and there are no less than 100 servants in Chaogai Mansion just the villagers who come and go to pack their luggage.
After looking around and not seeing Lin Chong, Deng Long asked Chao Gai strangely: "I have called Lin Jiaotou before, and led a hundred horse troops to set off first, haven't you arrived yet?" ”
Chao Gai said with a smile: "Lin Jiaotou arrived early an hour ago, but he was afraid that the officials and soldiers would come early, so he went to the grove in front of Zhuangzi to ambush."
Wu Yong next to him urged: "Brother Chao, the village owner is not early, let's go, right?" ”
Deng Long glanced at Wu Yong and played with the taste: "Presumably this is Wu Yong and Wu Xue, who are known as [Zhiduoxing]!" ”
Wu Yong didn't seem to hear Deng Long's strange tone, so he hugged his fists and said, "Xiaosheng Wu Yong, I have seen Lord Deng Zhai." ”
Deng Long helped Wu Yong with one hand and said, "I have long heard that Mr. Jia Liang has learned the past and the present, and his wisdom is unparalleled. When I saw it today, it was really extraordinary! ”
Chao Gai said with a smile: "In the matter of the birth gang, the pedant can make suggestions and suggestions without any effort. It's just that Bai Sheng was greedy for gambling and left the rumors. Today, thanks to Song Zhisi and his brother risking death to save each other, otherwise Chao Gai would not know how he died. ”
Deng Long sighed in his heart, Wu Yong, Wu Yong, how can you bear such a good big brother who may trust you until he dies!
Gongsun Sheng, who was dressed in a Taoist robe, hurriedly ran over and said, "Brother Chao, the luggage has been packed, it's time to go." ”
Deng Long interrupted Gongsun Sheng's words: "Daoist Gongsun, why rush for a while. I, hundreds of people and horses in Liangshan are here, what can a few officers and soldiers do? ”
At this time, Lu Zhishen walked in and said: "Lin Jiaotou sent someone to report that the official army has arrived ten miles outside the village. ”
"Oh, so fast". Deng Long glanced at the sun slanting to the west, and calmly arranged: "Ti Zhi, take your men and horses to join Lin Jiaotou, and tell Lin Jiaotou not to let go of an official errand." ”
Turning his head and saying to Chao Gai: "Please also ask Brother Chao to lead Zhuang Ke, Mr. Gongsun Sheng and others to assist Lin Jiaotou, so as not to miss the official errand." ”
Although Chao Gai didn't understand why Deng Long had a tough confrontation with the official errand, he thought that the official errand was attracted by himself, so he did not hesitate to take Liu Tang, Gongsun Sheng, Ruan Xiaoqi and others to help.
Waiting for Chao Gai and his group to walk out of the door, Deng Long walked quickly to the living room, sat down and said word by word: "A good game of chess played by a pedant, but it's a pity that Brother Chao's big family business is now ......." ”
Wu Yong's pupils shrank suddenly, and his face pretended to be puzzled: "What kind of chess is playing, what is the owner of the village talking about?" ”
Picking up the teacup and taking a sip of tea, Deng Long sneered: "The pedant really thinks that everyone in the world is as loyal as Brother Chao, guarding this Nuoda's family business, do you still have to risk killing your head to rob the birth gang, isn't this all your 'credit'!" ”
Seeing that Deng Long's words had already begun, Wu Yong laughed and said: "The owner of the village is really good at laughing, the birth gang is led by Brother Chao, I just made some efforts, how can I calculate Brother Chao?" ”
Smiling slightly, Deng Long continued: "I know that pedants have traveled extensively, and they know a lot of good men and scholars from all over the world, so it is not strange to know Liu Tang, and the detailed route of the escort of the Birth Gang brought by Mr. Gongsun Sheng is arranged in advance by the pedant!"
As for how you persuaded Brother Chao, with your three-inch incorruptible tongue, even the stone has to be jumped up by what you say, and Brother Chao is just your victim. ”
Wu Yong's face seemed to have been scratched, and he suddenly relaxed, and sighed for a long time: "Xiaosheng has a thousand calculations, I ask myself that there is no omission anywhere, but you took the first step to occupy Liangshan, one step is chaotic, one step is chaotic, your arrival has disrupted my overall plan, so that even if I have a thousand schemes, there is nowhere to perform."
Hehe, from the moment I saw Lin Chong today, I knew that there was no power to return to heaven. ”
Wu used to plan for the birth of the Gang, leaving flaws everywhere, just to force Chao Gai to cover Liangshan, Wu used thousands of calculations, but miscalculated Chao Gai's ambitions, Chao Gai just wanted to be a mountain king.
And Wu Yong's stomach was full of ambitions, and he was about to be stillborn, who would have thought that Song Jiang's arrival, Wu Yong's eyes were getting brighter and brighter, and in the end, he directly abandoned Chao Gai and fell at the feet of Song Heizi.
From this point of view, Wu Yong is a ruthless person, for his own ambitions, he didn't care about his friendship with Chao Gai for many years, and watched Chao Gai die, and he didn't stop it.
Thinking of this, Deng Long asked in a cold tone: "If Brother Chao knows all this, how should the pedant deal with himself?" ”
Wu said bitterly: "What else? Xiaosheng could only leave his hometown and fly away, and go elsewhere. ”
Deng Long sneered: "Don't talk about these useless things, I'm not Brother Chao, I was sold by you, and I helped you count the money." ”
Wu Yong knew in his heart that once it was rumored in the rivers and lakes, where could Wu still tolerate himself, and who else could believe in himself? He closed his eyes, took a hard breath, knelt down and said: "Wu Yong swears here, he will assist Brother Deng Long in this life, and he will not have any dissenting intentions. ”
Deng Long was relieved when he saw Wu Yong swearing a poisonous oath, and hurriedly helped Wu Yong up, and said warmly: "Pedants don't need to be like this, Mr. will be the military advisor of Liangshan in the future, and Mr. will have to worry a lot about the affairs of the cottage." ”
Wu Yong rolled his eyes, if I hadn't sworn a poisonous oath, would you be able to do this! However, he hurriedly said respectfully: "Brother, don't worry, Xiaosheng will definitely do his best, but my brother will bring hundreds of people down the mountain tonight, isn't it a little ......." ”
Deng Long continued: "Isn't it a bit of a feeling of using a slaughtering knife by mistake to kill chickens?" I'll go down the mountain tonight to save you, but I still want to go to Jeju City, and I don't want to bring more people to protect me, how can I rest assured. ”
Wu Yong jumped up as if his butt was on fire, and said urgently: "Does my brother want to attack Jeju City with these hundreds of men?" ”
Deng Long signaled Wu Yong not to panic and explained, "Which officers and soldiers are here to arrest you tonight, right?" ”
"Not bad."
"If the officers and soldiers arrest you, where will they be sent?"
"Of course, it's sent to Jeju, does my brother want to ......?"
"Is that possible?"
Wu Yong thought for a while and said, "It's just that in this way, isn't my brother afraid of the tree?" ”
Deng Long said leisurely: "Although Liangshan is big, it does not attract wind. ”
Just as the two were talking, Ruan Xiaoqi ran in and said happily: "Brother, none of the officials escaped, and all of them were caught by us." ”
"Oh" Deng Long stood up and asked Ruan Xiaoqi excitedly: "I really caught it all."
"Oh, my brother, even they don't have a shoe, my brother will know after a while." Ruan Xiaoqi affirmed.
Sure enough, in less than half an hour, Chao Gai walked in first with a Pu knife. Seeing Deng Long, he said: "One of the officers and soldiers who have never run away, Jeju arrested the envoy He Tao, and the two heads of Yuncheng County, Zhu Tong and Lei Heng, were also captured alive. ”
Looking back, I saw three big men in iron armor, who were pushed forward by the little minions. The one in front was one meter eight or nine tall, with a red face like jujubes, and a foot-long beard under his chin draped over his chest. The middle one is about 1.75 meters tall, and although he is not tall, he is extremely fierce and stout. The last person is not very characteristic, if he is still on the street, he will never look at the second person at the first glance.
Coming to the big man walking in front, Deng Long said politely: "There are many offends today, and I hope that Zhu Dutou is not strange." You and Lei Dutou will go to Liangshan to play for a few days first, and Brother Chao and I will go to Liangshan later. ”
Zhu Tong snorted, pretending not to hear Deng Long's words, but his eyes softened a little, not as if he had just entered the door, and he was forced.
Deng Long saw that Zhu Tong looked like he was not close to anyone, and he was not angry, and said to Lu Zhishen: "Ti Zhi took Zhu and Lei to return to Liangshan and told Wang Lun not to neglect the two heads. Then he and Yang Zhi ordered the 300 men and horses who stayed behind in the cottage to arrive outside Jeju before midnight. ”
After Deng Long finished arranging, Lu Zhishen took his men and horses and escorted Zhu Tong and others to Liangshan.
Seeing Lu Zhi go far-reaching, Deng Long turned his eyes to He Tao again.
He Tao had just listened to Deng Long's words, and his heart felt like he had been stabbed, and when he saw Deng Long looking at him, he said in disbelief: "What are you going to do, there are thousands of soldiers and horses in Jeju City!" ”
