Chapter 17 Planning Liangshan
Cheng Yanjin was overjoyed when he heard this: "So you have to rely on Shitai's help!" ”
Liang Shitai grinned and said: My lord is too polite! My uncle is a good hand on the water, and he is a good boater; Don't look at his age, he respects heroes the most! My lord just stays in my hammer village, and I will send someone to invite the uncle. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info he knows that the adults are here, and he must have rushed over to meet him! ”
Lao Chengyi waved his hand and said: "It's not proper, it's inappropriate, it's a senior, so I should go and see it." So be it! The team will be stationed here first, and you and I will go to meet the old hero Liang Menglong. ”
Liang Shitai said solemnly: "If the adults are willing to deign to meet, I dare to guarantee that the clan uncle will definitely come to defect!" ”
Cheng Yanjin nodded, and asked Zeng Long and the others to reorganize the team and station here, and he and Liang Shitai took the four-color gift and went straight to Laohu Town.
Almost all the villagers in Laohu Town knew Liang Shitai, and when they saw him coming, they greeted him with a smile one by one, Liang Shitai also nodded and returned the salute, and then took Cheng Yanjin to Liang Menglong's residence.
The two tied up their horses, came to the door and banged on the door, and after a short time, an old family member opened the door, and when he saw that it was Liang Shitai, he hurriedly said: "It turns out that the young master nephew has arrived, the master has just had dinner and is resting in the living room, the young master nephew hurry up, please come in!" ”
Liang Shitai thanked him, then said his invitation to Cheng Yanjin, and led him through the two courtyards to the main hall of the third courtyard.
In the middle of the hall, butter was lit and waxed, and the hall was as bright as day, and an old man in his fifties and sixties was sitting on a chaise longue drinking tea. The old man was already half a hundred, but he was in good spirits; There seems to be a layer of brown rust on his face, and at first glance, he looks like a person who has been begging for a living on the water all year round.
"Uncle Clan is really at ease!" Liang Shitai laughed and stepped into the room; The old man looked up and saw him, sat up slightly straight, and said, "It turned out to be Shitai, not in your Hanging Hammer Village, how did you think of looking at me, an old immortal!" ”
"Uncle Clan, you are the old man and the strongest, and you are a model for us to learn; We should ask for more advice! ”
The old man was slightly stunned and said: "People say that Shibei should be impressed for three days, and it is true, why did you remember to compliment me today?" Hey, you're bringing someone with you? Who is this friend? ”
Liang Shitai laughed and said: "Uncle clan, you talk about how good Cheng Shihu is every day, how amazing he is, why don't you know the real person when you see him today?" ”
"Oops!" Liang Menglong exclaimed in surprise and almost fell off the chair; He stood up and scolded Liang Shitai: "You bastard boy, Cheng Yingying didn't tell me when he came, let me snub Cheng Yingying, it's really rude!" ”
Liang Menglong ran in front of Cheng Yanjin, and he was going to pay homage at the end; Lao Cheng hurriedly pulled him and said: "The old hero is too polite, you are a senior in the rivers and lakes, and it is reasonable for us juniors to come to visit!" Cheng came recklessly, and asked his predecessors to atone for his sins. ”
Liang Menglong listened to Lao Cheng's words, and the old man was relieved; hurriedly instructed his family to arrange a banquet to pick up the wind and wash the dust for Lao Cheng.
Cheng Yanjin and Liang Shitai fought for a long time, and they were already hungry, and the two did not refuse; I gladly sat down. This made Lao Liangtou even more happy, and his mouth couldn't close.
The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors; Liang Menglong said: "Cheng Yingying, your noble business is busy; Why did something come to my old lake town today? ”
Lao Cheng didn't hide it, so he helped Yinshan Town to suppress the bandits, and then accepted Sheng Yanshi, and everyone discussed that they wanted to unite with Laohu Town and develop Liangshan to create a foundation.
Liang Shitai also beat the side drum and said, "Uncle clan, this is a good thing. When thieves are rampant today, the dog emperor only knows that there will be a big mess one day! Wouldn't it be nice for us to have such a foundation to shelter from the wind and rain! ”
Liang Menglong slapped the table and said, "I won't tell you, I've coveted this Liangshan for a long time." I didn't expect Cheng Yingying's unique vision to fall in love with it! This Liangshan Mountain is surrounded by water on all sides in Dongping Lake, and is also connected to the Yellow River, which can go straight to the sea! It's a great place to hide!
However, you may not know that there is now a group of strongmen on Liangshan, led by Zhang Qing, an underwater snake; This bastard is not a thing; He is here to rob houses and houses, and he does all kinds of evil. It makes us in Laohu Town afraid to go into the lake to fish! ”
Liang Shitai said angrily: "I have also heard of this Zhang Qing, his kung fu is mediocre, but there are two hits on the water, and there are nearly a thousand minions under him, I have always wanted to teach him a lesson, but when he heard that I was coming, he got into the puddle and couldn't get out, it's really hateful!" ”
Liang Menglong nodded and said, "Yes!" Although I can play twice on the water, I mainly use it for shipbuilding and fishing, and if I really want to fight with others, I am really not an opponent. ”
Lao Cheng said: "Uncle Liang, let's not mention this Zhang Qing first, do you agree with the joint thing I said?" Liang Menglong slapped the table and said: "Agree, of course agree, Cheng Yingying looks up to us, that is our great blessing, of course we agree!" ”
Cheng Yanjin smiled: "Okay! As long as Uncle Liang agrees to unite, it will be easy to do! It's much easier to clean up that Zhang Qing! Liang Menglong and Liang Shitai looked at him puzzled.
Lao Cheng put the dishes on the table away and said, "Two of you, please see, our turtledove shop is in the northwest, Yinshan Town is in the south, and Laohu Town is in the east; Our three towns surrounded Dongping Lake.
If this Zhang Qing wants to come out and rob, our three towns are the only way for him! As long as we block Dongping Lake, hehe, they robbers don't produce anything, and they will starve to death if they are hungry!
When they are very hungry, let's use a little trick, and we are afraid that they will not obediently take the bait. As long as they leave Liangshan Shuibo, can Shitai deal with them? ”
Liang Shitai touched his head and laughed: "I'm too good at dealing with them, just what kind of goods Zhang Qing has, when he gets to land, I will smash him with a hammer!" Cheng Yanjin and Liang Menglong laughed when they heard this.
"Okay,!" The three of them raised their glasses and drank bitterly, and Cheng Yanjin asked again: "Uncle Liang, let me ask, how big can you build when it comes to shipbuilding?" Is it okay to have a sea boat? I also heard that the emperor built a kind of dragon boat that is more than ten zhang high and 100 zhang long, can you build it? ”
Liang Menglong blushed and said: "Cheng Yingying, the old man can basically build fishing boats, and slightly larger canopy boats can also be built." Sea ships have not been built yet, it is said that there is no wind and three feet of waves on the sea, and the requirements for ships are very high.
As for the dragon boat you mentioned, the emperor summoned craftsmen from all over the world to make it after years to complete, but I can't build it. Besides, what is the use of that kind of boat pulling all hands on people in the river, except for showmanship? ”
Cheng Yanjin nodded when he heard this, and said, "It seems that we have to pay attention to the Dengzhou Sailor." ”
"Ahh Liang Menglong's uncle and nephew's eyes widened suddenly.
Lao Cheng smiled: "Don't be nervous, now I don't dare to pick up the tiger whiskers of the Dengzhou Water Master." Uncle Liang also said just now that the world will definitely be disrupted; When the time comes, the Dog Emperor will definitely transfer the mountain king back to the dynasty. Without Yang Lin's Dengzhou sailor, he is a toothless tiger, and that is the time for us to do it! Now let's honestly expand our strength! ”
Liang Menglong and Liang Shitai nodded frequently when they heard this, and the three of them chatted and gradually decided on a plan to capture Liangshan, and then went back separately.
Cheng Yanjin left Zeng Long and Li Jun with Liang Shitai as deputies, and trained Xiangyong according to the model of Turtledove Shop; Then he returned to Fuliang Mountain and asked Kan Ling to come over to take charge of the township training in Yinshan Town.
Because Sheng Yanshi's reputation in Yinshan Town was not good, Cheng Yanjin asked him to follow him back to the turtledove shop, where he recuperated and assisted himself in his work.
Since the underwater snake Zhang Qing occupied Liangshan, he drank wine in a big bowl and ate meat in large pieces; It's so uneasy; In recent days, however, they have made significantly fewer interceptions; At the beginning, there were still some savings in the cottage, which could barely make ends meet; But yesterday his deputy told him that there was no food left in the cottage; It can last up to two days.
Zhang Qing panicked all of a sudden, he hurriedly gathered his subordinates to discuss countermeasures, and then spread his manpower to go out to rob and buy grain.
As a result, as soon as these people went out, they were like meat buns beating dogs and never returned, Zhang Qing hurriedly arranged for a detailed work to investigate; It turned out that the three big towns around Dongping Lake were all forbidden to the lake, and they couldn't even get out, let alone robbing and buying grain.
