Chapter 24 Three Helping Hands Don't Need to Be Counted A Marriage Letter Comes In
After the next day, a group of heroes had a full meal, Sanniang's distribution was decided, and then it was divided into three processes: the first one was Hu Sanniang, Huang Wenbing, Li Jun, Tong Wei, Tong Meng; the second is Mu Hong, Mu Chun, Xue Yong, and Hou Jian; The third is Zhang Heng, Zhang Shun, and Li Li. Three of the twelve leaders, with a cadre of people, etc., the first together in front of the road, the second will have the family property and gold treasure loaded on the car, and Song Yulian's family, Mu Taigong, Huang Wenbing, and the family members, are all in the second case, guarding the front, and the third is behind the palace.
After Mu Hong took care of the furniture, there were those who did not want to go in the number of customers, so they gave him some silver taels and went to other masters; If the dealer and the helper are willing to go, they will go together. The first one has gone one after another, and it has taken its own action. Mu Hong cleaned up the village, put more than a dozen torches, burned the courtyard, left the fields, and the group came from Jizhou.
There were more than 300 people in the three cases, all of whom pretended to be merchants, slept in the open air, stayed overnight in Xiaoxing, traveled for more than two months, and arrived in front of Cangzhou Chaijiazhuang early. After hearing the news, Chai Jin personally brought Qin Ming and Huang Xin out of the thirty miles to catch it, and led them to the village to rest.
That night, Chai Jin set up a wine in the village and feasted all the leaders. During the banquet, when talking about the matter of Liangshan, Qin Mingxian scolded himself: "Hu Niangzi and a group of brothers, carrying the blood and sea of involvement, went to save Song Jiang's black guy from the scene, but they disregarded their kindness so much, and taught people to be cold-toothed!" ”
Chai Jin said: "Liangshan occupies the Jeju Canal on Jingdong Road, and the trade routes to the south from here are all controlled by it. Sanniang said: "This will not be, as long as the big officials still use the name of Chaijiazhuang to fight there, the people of Liangshan still sell the face of the big officials." Chai Jin pondered for a moment and said, "What the lady said is also true." ”
Sanniang said again: "Now that I have made trouble in Jiangzhou, the government will chase me sooner or later, I don't know what my father and brother are in Hujiazhuang." That is, the Jiangzhou Shen Jingshi will inevitably move to Jizhou, and settle in Jizhou to pursue family members, and arrest the main culprit, fearing his father and brother and up and down. Survival is not guaranteed. I want to go back to Jizhou here first, take care of Zhuangshang, and if the official army comes to arrest him, it will be easy to deal with it. ”
When Chai Jin heard this, he immediately said: "I'm in four manors here. There are more than 3,000 guests and horses in the village, and the lady wants to protect the family village, and Xiao Keqin leads the troops to follow. Huang Wenbing said: "Chai officials don't have to move troops and horses at this time, Jizhou doesn't know that the official army can really come to encircle and suppress, if you rashly raise troops to go." But it was a pounce, one was to startle the snake, and the other was to pay for the labor. Why don't we go back here to find out the news first, and if we hear the movement of the official army, then ask the senior officials to point up the two leaders of Qin Ming and Huang Xin to lead the troops to help. ”
Sanniang said: "Huang Tong's calculation is that the big officials will wait for the news in the village first, there is still Erlong Mountain, I also went to the letter, teach the preparation of morning and evening, if the official army really comes to suppress." So I flew the pigeon and sent the book. The big officials will gather the two Longshan people and horses to come together to help. ”
After the current plan was decided, all the heroes got drunk and rested in the village. Sanniang was drunk this night, and when she returned to the next place, Yulian served with hot soup. Sanniang was lying on the bed, Yulian brought hot water and undressed Sanniang to wipe her body. But seeing Yulian's delicate appearance under the lamp, and the jade hand sliding on her body, Sanniang couldn't help but hug Yulian again. After putting the tent, the two girls were entangled in the tent again, and it was a room full of spring.
After only two days of rest, Sanniang led a group of leaders to set off in batches. Go to Hujiazhuang. The general Xiaoxing overnight stay, and arrived at Jizhou Hujiazhuang in less than a day.
When Hu Taigong and Hu Cheng heard that Sanniang was back, they were all overjoyed, and they brought a group of heroes into the village to settle down, and Mrs. Mu's family, Huang Wenbing's family, and Song Yulian's family all settled in the backyard. Then the village killed pigs and sheep, and held a feast. He also invited Li Ying, the righteous brother of the alliance, to come to the banquet.
Hu Taigong said to Sanniang: "After my son left, the Zhu family did not come to visit again, but Zhu Biao came to visit every month, the ceremony was thoughtful, and he often prepared gifts to take care of it. ”
Sanniang frowned when she heard this: "Father must know that he must not be at ease with such a honey-bellied sword." Besides, many of my brothers here are in the midst of lawsuits, and I am afraid that it will not be appropriate to invite him to see him. ”
Hu Taigong said when he saw it: "That's fine." At the moment, he drank and feasted in the village, and on the banquet, Hu Taigong and Mu Taigong sat in the first place, and Hu Cheng, Li Ying, Sanniang, Mu Hong, Li Jun, etc. sat in turn.
On the second day, sure enough, Jizhou Mansion came a few times, and said that he was going to arrest Hu Sanniang, who robbed the Jiangzhou Law Field. But he showed an official document in front of Zhuang and shouted, where was Zhuang willing to let him in? Hu Cheng, who was guarding in front of the village, ordered a random arrow to be shot, and those few tolerances fled in the desert, and went back to apply for the gift, saying that Hujiazhuang was reversed.
After getting the news, Hu Taigong did not blame Hu Cheng, but said: "You did the right thing to protect your sister this time, my family will advance and retreat together, and if you want to rebel, you will rebel together!" ”
Sanniang was greatly moved when she heard this, and said that she was involved in the family, and Mrs. Hu helped her up and comforted: "My son is relieved, since you were born, there is a vision in the sky, and my father knows that you will definitely do something earth-shattering in the future, no matter what, my Hu family will always be your backer." Sanniang was relieved, secretly thinking that she had fought for her life, and she also had to protect the family.
Then Sanniang led a group of heroes to survey the terrain and give advice and discuss how to resist the enemy's officers and soldiers in the future. There were more than 2,000 guests and horses in Hujiazhuang, plus more than 200 people brought by Sanniang, totaling 2,400 people. Sanniang divided the people into six teams, the first team of Sanniang and Hu Chengtong, the second team of Mu Hong and Mu Chun, the third team of Li Jun and Xue Yong, the fourth team of Zhang Heng and Li Litong, the fifth team of Zhang Shun and Hou Jian, and the sixth team of Tong Wei and Tong Meng. Huang Wenbing was the military division of Zhuangnei, and he drilled and lined up in the morning and evening, preparing to resist the enemy's officers and soldiers.
After waiting for more than a month, there was no movement of the officials and soldiers. On this day, Zhu Biao heard that Sanniang had returned to the village, so he brought gifts, and Zhu Biao and Luan Tingyu came to the village to pay a visit. When I arrived at the village, I first worshiped Mrs. Mu in the hall, and Zhu Biao said: "I heard that the third lady returned to the village, but please invite the prince to meet." ”
Seeing that he was courteous for several weeks, the prince had to call Sanniang out to meet him. Sanniang came to the front of the hall and met the two, and sat down after serving tea each. Luan Tingyu said: "Recently, it has been rumored in the rivers and lakes that the Qinghu Lan who shook the rivers and lakes is Sanniang, but I don't know if that's the case. ”
Sanniang didn't want to hide it anymore, and replied: "Exactly, just because women dressed as men and walked the rivers and lakes in their early years, they broke into such a name." Luan Tingyu praised: "Sanniang is really a strange woman in the world, and my senior brother Zhou Tong has accepted a good apprentice." Zhu Biao said: "That Shaohua Mountain is also the foundation of Sanniang's subordinates?" Sanniang said: "That's right." Both of them were amazed.
Luan Tingyu said: "Yesterday, there was a Jizhou Mansion to come to the following, saying that Sanniang did a big thing in Jiangzhou to rob the law field, and the government rewarded 8,000 yuan to arrest Sanniang, and sent someone to the village to get people before the tenth month, and was shot back by random arrows, so the whole family was reversed, and I was taught to wait for the village to prepare to fight together sooner or later." ”
Sanniang was not afraid, and only asked, "What does Zhujiazhuang mean?" Zhu Biao immediately said: "Our three villages have been allied for several generations, and our feelings and righteousness are extraordinary, so naturally we will not respond to the official army." But I mentioned marriage with the Hu family before, and I have admired the lady here for a long time, and I am here to ask for marriage. At that moment, a few matchmakers flashed out of the people who came with Zhujiazhuang, and they only cared about talking about this family business there.
Here Sanniang was furious when she heard this, and when she slapped the table, she actually smashed the table to pieces, so frightened that the matchmakers stopped and looked at Sanniang blankly. Sanniang looked at Zhu Biao and Luan Tingyu and said angrily: "I don't think I'm here to ask for marriage today, but to blackmail the officials and soldiers to arrest me, and come to force me to get married!" ”
Luan Tingyu coughed lightly and said: "Sanniang doesn't need to say that, although Sanzhuang has been allied for several generations and has a deep affection, but it is there to prevent the Liao people from hitting the grass valley and beware of the thieves around them. Now that Sanniang has done such things, she has rebelled against the court. If Zhujiazhuang does not respect the orders of the government, it is also generally a rebellion, and the innocence of the Zhu family is ruined. Therefore, if you have permission to do this family business, Sanniang and Zhu Biao will come, and the two families will become an alliance of in-laws, so that they can advance and retreat together. ”
Sanniang sneered: "But what if I don't agree? Zhu Biao hurriedly said: "Sanniang has to think carefully, if there is no family to come, my Zhu family will not rebel against the court, when I was young, I came to suppress with the officials and soldiers, I wish the family has one or two thousand military horses, three or four thousand Zhuang guests, and then will come with the officials and soldiers of Jizhou, and your small village will turn into powder overnight." ”
Sanniang snorted and said: "Although I have few villains here, but it is not arbitrary, you wish Jiazhuang to join forces with the official army to fight, then come, I will wait here!" That's it, no more need to say, send off! ”
Zhu Biao shouted angrily when he heard this: "Hu Sanniang, do you think you can stop the official army? Don't regret it! At that moment, the two of them led the family members and others, carried the gifts, and turned around angrily.
After Zhu Biao and Luan Tingyu left, Hu Cheng said: "Little sister said well, we are not random to be bullied here. Hu Taigong sighed there: "Now that the officials and the Zhu family are coming to suppress it, how can it be good." ”
Sanniang knelt down and said: "Father, the child has caused a catastrophe here, affecting the family, please punish my father." Hu Taigong shook his head and said: "Your life, Erxian Mountain Luo Zhenren has already said it, and I don't blame you for being a father." Saying that, he picked up Sanniang and said: "It's just that the official army and the Zhu family have joined forces, but I am afraid that the situation will be difficult to beat, so it is better for me to pack up my belongings as soon as possible, give up the foundation here in Hujiazhuang, and go to your Shaohua Mountain to settle down." ”
Sanniang said: "It's too late to leave now, we have a lot of family members here, and there are thousands of people who go with us. Father, rest assured, I invited two places here to come to help, Erlongshan and Chaijiazhuang, as well as Brother Li Ying, three soldiers and horses plus the soldiers and horses in my Hujiazhuang, and I can also deal with the official army and the Zhu family. ”
Hu Taigong said again: "But in this way, it will be the enemy of the imperial court, and it will be fought sooner or later, how can it be a game?" Sanniang said: "Father, rest assured, as long as we defeat the official army here a few times, the instructor's government will not dare to underestimate my Hujiazhuang, the government is only afraid of persecuting us too much, and if we vote for the Liao, we will naturally send a decree to recruit peace, and then we can return to good people." Taigong was relieved when he heard this. (To be continued.) )
