Just when Huang Jie was very puzzled, he happened to meet a few people dressed as Zhuang Ke who came to Yunzhou City to call the door to report the news, saying that the gang of thieves who came from Xiaoliang Mountain to attack Yunzhou were now attacking Hujiazhuang in Xiaolongshan, and the owner of the village sent them to ask for rescue from the official army.

When Huang Jie heard this, he was also surprised, so he also stepped forward to ask, and asked the villager: "You slow down, where is this Xiaolongshan Hujiazhuang?" ”

Zhuang Ke pointed to the north, said a distance of about 60 miles, and asked carefully, only to know that there is a small dragon mountain by the Dongping Lake not far from here, and there is a village called Longshan Village (now Longshan Tun Village, Dongping County, Shandong), there is a large family surnamed Hu in the village, and they built a Zhuangzi outside the village, so it is called Hujiazhuang.

Huang Jie heard that he had a big head, so he also asked: "Is there a lady under the knee of your owner, called Hu Sanniang?" ”

The Zhuang Ke shook his head when he heard it, and said, "There is only the eldest mother, how can the third mother come?" The eldest lady is called a young man, and she is also walking on Shandong Road, I don't know if the strong man is acquainted? ”

Huang Jie also laughed and said, "Xiaolongshan Hujiazhuang...... Aunt Qinghu, acquaintance! Acquaintance of nature! ”

At this time, Huang Jie also suddenly realized that what he saw and heard in the strange dream should also be a miscellaneous drama arranged by later generations, just like the Huangmei opera he asked the female guards in Huangzhou to rehearse, it is normal to think that there is a big difference between nature and the real situation.

In fact, there were two points earlier, but he was negligent, and he never paid close attention to them: one is that the appearance of the characters seen in the dream overlaps repeatedly, and the most obvious person is the woman who looks like Wan Chunnu in it, one time he sees her is a big-headed lady, and another time he sees what kind of girl she is with a golden lock, or a variety of appearances, Huang Jie thought it was a kind of past and present life; Another is that the Gongsun Sheng, Hua Rong, Sun Li, Sun Xin, Lin Chong, and Yan Qing, who he saw in the strange dream, and Yan Qing, who he recently met, are not the real people today, so the only explanation is that what he saw in this strange dream should be a miscellaneous drama arranged by later generations.

Even, in retrospect at this time, it seems that in the strange dream called "New Water Margin", Huarong is not called Huarong, but Xiao Li Guanghuarong. It's funny, this little Li Guang and Xiao Zhang Fei are obviously the nicknames of the senior brother Lin Chong, "Xiao Zhang Fei" is the name that Lin Chong made in the forbidden army, but that little Li Guang is the honorific title of Lin Chong by the heroes on the rivers and lakes, and I can't say why I have to call him like this, that is, when Yan Qing and other nephews came to Tokyo, they were looking for Xiao Li Guang Lin Chong, not Xiao Zhang Fei Lin Chong.

It can be seen that there are really a lot of mistakes and omissions in "New Water Margin", and why it adds the word "new" is also quite confusing. But when I finally figured out this section in my heart, I also understood why I couldn't find Song Jiang and Chao Gai, and why all kinds of changes were made.

In this way, Huang Jie also asked the Zhuang guest: "Let's tell me how many soldiers and horses the thief has, and what is the banner?" What is the name of the leader? ”

The Zhuang Ke also replied simply, and said: "Dare to let the strong man know that there are three or five hundred thieves in that gang, and there are not many horses, and the banner is Xiaoliangshan Zhongyi Hall, and the leader is the second leader Sai Meng tastes Chai Jinbao, and leads seven or eight small heads to attack my family Zhuangzi." ”

As soon as Huang Jie heard "Xiaoliangshan Zhongyi Hall", he was also sure in his heart, because he vaguely remembered that he had also mentioned it in his dream, and the banner of the Liangshan thieves was originally called Juyi Hall, and later it was renamed Zhongyi Hall. As for Nasai Meng's taste of Chai Jinbao, Huang Jie thought about it for a while, thinking that this person was very likely to be the "little whirlwind Chai Jin".

Huang Jie asked why this group of people attacked Hujiazhuang, and Zhuang Ke shook his head and didn't know, but this Zhuang Ke also saw Huang Jie and others driving and riding horses, and it seemed that they were also a group of strong men, so they also came: "Since the strong man and my aunt know each other, I beg the strong man to go to the rescue, and my aunt may have a thousand dollars to hang the red, if it is to kill the thief, he will definitely be rewarded heavily." ”

Huang Jie laughed, rolled his eyes, and said: "It's a coincidence, I am the dart master of the Tokyo Zhenwei Dart Bureau, and I have been ordered by the military order of the Marquis of Yu, Lin Chonglin, the Marquis of Yu, the former division of the Tokyo Palace, to go on official business for the former division of the palace, and I am about to come to Yunzhou to find the bad luck of the Xiaoliangshan Zhongyi Hall, and lead the way in front!" ”

Zhuang Ke was overjoyed when he heard it, so he asked one person to stay and continue to call the city, and the other two also came to lead the way for Huang Jie and others, and went straight to rescue Hujiazhuang.

Immediately, Huang Jie also ordered to turn around and rush to the direction of Hujiazhuang, and all the staff changed their clothes on the way, put on the uniforms of Zhenwei Dart Bureau, and all the soldiers and armor were fully equipped. only said that when he arrived in Yunzhou before, because he was in a hurry, everyone made casual clothes, since he took the name of Lin Chong and the former division of the palace, now he went to save Hujiazhuang, and naturally he couldn't change into the costume of the Japanese army, so he put on the dart master of the Zhenwei Dart Bureau, otherwise it would be difficult to speak in the future.

Let's talk about a Huangzhou guard, the standard armor is a set of imitation Song Army standard leather jackets, but the interior has been modified, adding cold-forged steel linings and silk linings, which can prevent knife and gun punctures and standard strong bow shooting with one stone and two buckets thirty steps away.

In addition, in terms of weapons, it is mainly divided into long, sharp, blunt, and defensive four kinds, and the combination of strong bows and steel-tipped oilwood heavy arrows used in long-range attacks is natural, and the combined bows are all strong bows with more than five buckets with one stone, and the squad leader and above are more useful with two stones and stronger, just like the major Tian Bao used the soft string heavy bow of four stones, good at shooting iron pills, and there is no missing bullet in eighty steps.

The sharp weapon is a long and a short two blades, a long-handled weapon and a bag of six standard throwing guns, the blade is naturally matched according to personal preferences, most of them are also used in the military standard Pu knife, and some captains and above the level, then use Huang Jie's imitation of Tang straight knife, short blade or short sword, short knife, some people choose Huang Jie's three-edged military thorn, but although the lethal power of the military spur is domineering, but it only has a function of stabbing, and it is not loved by Huangzhou guards.

The long-handled weapon is a standard nine-foot spear, but in order to facilitate carrying, the spearhead, spear shaft and tail vertebrae can be separated into several sections, and the spearhead is connected to the spear shaft and the tail vertebrae, and it is a wrought iron rod in the hand, and the standard throwing spear is a short spear with a length of three feet, and the spearhead is also made of a three-edged shape, and the armor can be pierced and the shield can be pierced within ten steps.

As for the choice of blunt weapons, there are all kinds of people, some people choose short-handled iron bones, some people use iron hammers, and some use short-handled meteor hammers, but they are also equipped with a telescopic iron rod that can be used as a throwing stick. This throwing stick is made of six refining soft steel, only seven inches long in the hand, after throwing it off, it grows two knots, and becomes a stick more than two feet long, hitting the body, the light will hurt the tendons, and the heavy will break the bones.

Speaking of armor, it is naturally a shield, but it is a hexagonal stacked shield of all colors, and when it is put away, it is six thin steel shields, and when combined, it is a steel shield that is two feet long and wide, and the defense is comparable to the heavy shield wrapped in solid wood in the army, but the weight is a little scary.

The team that followed Huang Jie to Yunzhou this time was a full squadron (64 people) and four Nighthawk squads (24 people), as well as two carts of baggage, and Huang Dalong, Huang Shi, and Huang Tietou from the 13th Taibao as personal soldiers, a total of 92 people.

When there were still more than 20 miles away from Nahujiazhuang, Huang Jie also scattered all the four Nighthawk squads, and asked Huang Dalong to play the banner of Huangzhou Zhenwei Dart Bureau, until the Huangzhou guards escorted the two carts, and then they also rode their horses slowly in the direction of Hujiazhuang.
