Chapter 22: Hu Lan 4 Road, Zhou County, Li Kui, Shuang Axe, Shou Zhang

In the Chinese army tent, Sanniangjiao ordered the arrows to come and point Guan Sheng, Hu Yanzhuo, Xuanzan, Hao Siwen, Han Tao, and Peng Xi to lead 5,000 troops and horses to attack Wenshang. He also pointed out that Dong Ping, Zhang Qing, Shan Tingqi, Wei Dingguo, Gong Wang, and Ding Desun would lead 5,000 troops and horses to attack Dongping. Then Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, Xiang Chong, Li Yan, Jiao Ting, and Bao Xu will lead 5,000 military horses to attack Shouzhang. In the end, 5,000 sailors including Li Jun, Zhang Heng, Zhang Shun, and San Ruan, as well as 500 large and small warships, were ordered to berth and enter the Yellow River along the canal to cut off the transportation.

Before the division was decided, Li Kui jumped out and said: "Sister-in-law, you didn't order my iron bull's general, only a bird privy, and I went to cut off his head." ”

Sanniang reprimanded: "I violated my general order last time, and I will not say much." This trip is one thing to you, I want my Liangshan to invade the county government of Zuo Jinzhou, there are many of my White Lotus disciples inside, you and Yan Qing are disguised, and go to Shouzhang County to contact the lurking White Lotus Sect, and after Master Lu's army and horses arrive, he will cooperate with Master Lu and others to take Shouzhang. So how dare you go? ”

Li Kui grinned and said, "Why don't you dare to go?" At that moment, he took over the order with Yan Qing and said goodbye to the leaders. Then the other chiefs took up their horses and went their separate ways.

But it was said that Li Kui and Yan Qing went on the road in disguise, Yan Qing dressed up in a simple village, wrapped her jacket in embroidery, pretended to be a Shandong merchant, with a handful of strings in her waist, and a high-shouldered groceries burden.

Li Kui pretended to be a woodcutter and tied two sharp axes to his back. Yan Qing looked at it and said: "Your two axes are too eye-catching, if they are looked out by the eyes and hands, it will be a big deal." ”

Li Kui said: "Eat guy, why don't you bring it?" Yan Qing said: "You hide the axe in my burden." Li Kui said: "With bare hands, not to mention encountering officials and soldiers on the road, it is not easy to meet a poisonous insect and beast." Yan Qing handed a Pu knife into Li Kui's hand and said, "On the way, use the Pu knife to defend yourself." Li Kui took it sullenly.

The two left the barracks first, and returned to the side of the water berth, Yan Qing released the arrow, and his own water berth sailor drove a boat to send two. The two took a boat across the Shuibo Canal to the north bank of the Yellow River. After landing on the shore, I went back to the hotel after a drink.

Only two or three miles away, a tiger roared in the mountains and forests in front of him, and a big insect came out. When Li Kui saw it, he skimmed the Pu knife, snatched Yan Qing from his burden, took a pair of plate axes, and went straight to the big insect.

When the big insect saw someone coming, the tiger roared, the fishy wind was fierce, cutting and pounced, Li Kui flashed around, and slashed behind the big insect with an axe. The big insect was clever, and in an instant, he dodged a little, and the axe was not cut solid, but it was covered with flesh, and the big insect was in pain, so he turned around and left, Li Kui roared, and chased after him.

Yan Qing couldn't catch up behind, and when she turned the mountain to look, Li Kui was already gone, and she suddenly stumbled and said: "It's the one who caused the disaster, but I don't know where I went." "It was expected that even if there were a few big insects, they would not be able to help Li Kui, so Yan Qing picked up the burden at the moment, so he came to Shouzhang first.

But it was said that Li Kui chased the big insect in a hurry, he was used to walking on mountain roads, his feet were very fast, the big insect was driven up, turned around and pounced, Li Kui was cut on the body of the big insect with an axe, the big insect hurt his ribs, a roar, he didn't dare to fight again, and he just ran forward without his life. One person and one tiger, one in front and one behind, just walked quickly, and unconsciously chased to Shouzhang County.

At this time, it was noon, the city gate was opened, and the one or twenty earth soldiers guarding the city gate saw a big insect rushing wildly, and they were immediately shocked.

A group of native soldiers hurriedly sounded the gong and shouted, "There are big insects! But the big insect came very fast, and before it could cover the door, it roared and rushed into the city regardless of the large number of people in front, which shows how afraid this big insect is of Li Kui behind.

Li Kui was able to catch up, and he didn't care about any native soldiers, he just cared about rushing in, and those native soldiers didn't dare to stop him when they saw him fierce, and one man and one tiger went straight into the city like this.

Li Kui entered the city, only to see that the tiger only cared about fleeing for his life, the people on the street were so frightened that they hid in the house and did not dare to come out, and the street vendors abandoned their stalls to flee for their lives, Li Kui chased after him, and drove the tiger to a house number. The big insect had no way out, the tiger roared and turned around, Li Kui took the head of the head and cut the tiger's head in half, and the big insect was killed.

Li Kui killed the big insect, looked up with a smile, but saw the words "Shouzhang County Ya" written on the door number in front of him, Li Kui looked at it and laughed: "I don't want to kill the general like this, so I just don't wait for any military horses, I grabbed it first and cut off the head of the bird county order." ”

Li Kui, with a double axe in one hand and a tiger corpse in the other, came to the gate of the county government and shouted: "Liangshan Bo Black Whirlwind Daddy is here!" ”

When Li Kui killed the tiger, some people in the county were already looking at the door, and when they heard Li Kui's shout, they were so frightened that the people in the county were numb and couldn't move. It turns out that this Shouzhang County is close to Liangshanbo, if you can hear the five words of the black whirlwind Li Kui, the doctor will cry at night, and he will come in person today, how not afraid!

At that time, Li Kui carried the tiger corpse, went to sit on the chair of the magistrate, and shouted: "The two of them came out to talk, and when they didn't come, they set fire to it." ”

Everyone in the room under the corridor discussed: "I have to go out and agree, I have to drag him for a moment or two, and then I have to save him with soldiers and horses." The two officials came out of the hall and bowed four times, knelt down and said, "When the leader is here, there will be an order." Li Kui said: "Wait a minute, today grandpa led 100,000 troops and horses from Liangshan to take your Shouzhang County, please come out of your county, and I will meet him." If the magistrate obediently opens the door and surrenders, he will spare his dog life and dare to say half a word, this big worm is his example. With that, he threw the dead tiger in front of him.

When the two saw the tragic situation of the dead tiger, they were immediately frightened and hurriedly responded. Turning back to the room, he discussed with the officials: "But it is a bitter thing, this black whirlwind directly said that he led 100,000 Liangshan people to take the city. There were many people from Liangshan who invaded the government in the number of officials, and they all said at the moment: "This black whirlwind is so fierce, we don't dare to stalemate with him." ”

The two officials said: "So first seek the county minister to discuss an idea." When I went to look for it, I found that the magistrate had escaped by opening the back door. He turned to look for the head of the infantry army and the horse army in the city, but the native soldiers said: "The two of them generally went out of the city with the magistrate and the county." ”

The two of them had no choice but to come to the hall and reply: "The county magistrate just saw the leader coming, opened the back door, and didn't know where to go." Li Kui didn't believe it, so he went into the back hall to look for it.

"Look, chief, there's the shirt box." Li Kui twisted the lock, took out his head, led the horns, and wore them in the future, put on the green robe and official uniform, tied the horn belt, looked for boots, changed into hemp shoes, took Huai Jian, walked out of the hall, and shouted: "Wait for listen, since the county has fled, you will all descend to my Liangshan, otherwise when the army and horses are coming, teach you to wait for a big axe." The scribes and others came to see it. ”

Everyone had no choice but to go up and agree. Li Kui said: "Is it okay for me to dress like this?" The crowd said, "It's very commensurate." Li Kui said: "You ordered Shi Zhihou to go to the yaya with me, seal the Yiying Mansion Treasury, and take Tianwen's household registration properly; If it were not for me, the county would be turned into a white land. ”

Everyone was afraid of him, so they had to gather some public officials, and their own county officials secretly supported him, took all the household registration documents in the county and put them away, and put the key to the treasury on the case. A group of officials held their canes and bones, played three drums, and shouted forward.

Li Kui laughed and said, "It's good, there's nothing to do here, and there are two of you who come to complain." The official said: "The leader is sitting here, who dares to come to complain?" Li Kui said: "You know that people don't come to sue, you have two people here who pretend to be suing to sue." I didn't hurt him, I just laughed at him. ”

The public officials and others discussed for a while, but they had to complain with two prisons pretending to be fighting, and the people outside the county gate were put to watch. The two knelt in front of the hall, and this one said: "The husband is pitiful, he beat the villain." ”

The accusator: "He scolded the villain, so I beat him." Li Kui said: "That is a food fight?" The plaintiff said: "The villain eats and beats." Then he asked, "That one beat him?" The defendant said, "He scolded first, and the villain beat him." Li Kui said: "This man who beat someone is a good man, let him go first." This one who does not grow up, how can he eat people and beat him, and show the public in front of the yamen with my flail. ”

Li Kui got up, grabbed the green robe, put Huai Jian in his waist, took out the big axe, looked directly at the plaintiff who had been flailed, and ordered to be in front of the county gate, before he strode away, and did not take off his clothes and boots. The people watching in front of the county gate could not help laughing.

Walking through the east and west in front of Shouzhang County, I suddenly heard the sound of reading in a school, Li Kui lifted the curtain, walked in, and was so frightened that the gentleman jumped out of the window and left, the students cried and cried, screamed, ran and ran, hid and hid, Li Kui laughed.

When he went out, he was bumping into someone, and when he fixed his eyes, it was Yan Qing. Yan Qing skimmed his burden, stepped forward and grabbed Li Kui and shouted: "You guy, you broke into the city, since you have won the county government, but you don't look for my White Lotus Sect to attack together, set the city gate, occupy the city, and only care about messing around here!" ”

Li Kui said with a smile: "Brother Xiaoyi is not angry, all the officials in this city have run away, but no one cares, what's the point of playing?" ”

Yan Qing didn't argue with him much, and took Li Kui back to the county office, so he took out the White Lotus Sect token in the burden, and the White Lotus Sect in the yamen looked at it carefully, and came out to meet him. Yan Qing ordered the followers to release seven-colored kites in the yamen and gather the followers.

When he was young, three or five thousand people gathered, and there were all women, children, and women. At that moment, Yan Qing gave an order, let the old and weak women and children set up the yamen, the strong people and others into several teams, and each of them guarded the treasury and the city gates, and taught Li Kui to take a team of people to guard the yamen, and went to patrol the city gate.

At noon the next day, when Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, Xiang Chong, Li Yan, Jiao Ting, and Bao Xu led 5,000 military horses to arrive, they saw that the head of Shouzhang County had already changed the Liangshan banner, and the city head was all patrolled.

Lu Zhishen and the others were all taken aback, and after Yan Qing and Li Kui attracted people to catch them, after telling the matter, Lu Zhishen laughed and said: "What a black pimple, one person won Shouzhang County, what a blessed person." Everyone laughed together, and the army entered the city and occupied Shouzhang County. (To be continued.) )
