Hao Shisan, with Shi Nai'an, Wu Liujiu and twenty or thirty guards, followed Liao Yongan and Yu Tonghe to Laoshan Island in Chaohu Lake to collect his army. Yu Tonghai, who came with Liao Yongan, was left in the camp of the Red Turban Army at the foot of Hanshan, saying that it was to enhance mutual understanding, and it was clear that he was taken hostage to ensure the safety of Hao Shisan's party.

Chaohu Lake water, silver waves rippling, at a glance can not see the end, the lush reeds by the lake, water birds perched and circling, a good Chaohu Lake scenery - blue water beauty. However, in such a majestic Chaohu Lake, there is not a single fishing boat in sight, as if it is like an outdoor peach orchard.

How do you get to Laoshan Island in the lake without a boat?

Yu Tonghe took out a bow and arrow, and released an arrow at the reeds on the lake, several fast boats hidden in the reeds, flying to the shore, Hao 13 and other people boarded the fast boat, traveled twenty or thirty miles of waterway, saw a mountain standing in the water, and traveled for half an hour, the boat stopped at the beachhead of the water island, and Laoshan Island had arrived.

Laoshan Island is an island in the water of Chaohu Lake, with a radius of several kilometers, high mountains in the middle, surrounded by water on all sides, and on the beachhead, there are five, seven or eight hundred large and small ships moored.

A small village on the Shandong side, the big 'Liao' character on the banner, which is the military camp of Liao Yongan's brothers, and a small village on the west side of the mountain, the big 'Yu' character on the banner, is the military camp of the Yu family's father and son.

Li Pusheng's Chinese army camp is located on a high mountain in the center of the island, and the mountain is also tall, and it is not a problem to accommodate 30,000 or 20,000 people.

There was already a group of people waiting at the foot of the mountain, carrying two sliding poles, carrying Hao Shisan and Shi Nai'an up the mountain, the mountain is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

"Sir, how is your writing lately?" Hao 13 said to Shi Nai'an across the sliding rod.

Shi Nai'an was attracted by the scenery along the way, patted his head and said: "Suddenly, the old student suddenly has some inspiration!" ”

"Look at this Chaohu Lake, it is occupied by Chaohu Lake Shuixiong, and even the nearby fishing boats are forbidden to go to the lake to fish, there are Yu Yanyu on this island, Yu Tonghai, Yu Tongyuan, Yu Tongyuan, Yu Jia, Liao Yongan, Liao Yongzhong brothers, plus Li Pusheng, why is it so coincidental, it should be the number of the Big Dipper!"

Hao Shisan along the way, there is a feeling of going to Liangshan, however, at present, the author of "Water Margin" Shi Nai'an is working under his own hands, and he has not had time to write a book, and there are already a lot of folk songs such as "Wu Song Kills Sister-in-law" and "Time Migration Steals Chickens" in the community.

Regarding the heroes of Liangshan, "The Night Biography of Uncle Zhang in the History of the Song Dynasty" only scribbly mentions that "Song Jiang is thirty-six, and tens of thousands of officers and soldiers dare not drown in its front", but it does not say "one hundred single generals", "Shuibo Liangshan" and so on. The heroes of Liangshan described in the history of the Song Dynasty are this scene: Song Jiang went ashore on the 36th to plunder, Zhang Shuye sent ambushes to burn his naval army, the thieves were frightened and left, captured his deputy marshal, and Song Jiang surrendered.

That's all.

"The Big Dipper, the Seven Stars Gather Righteousness...... Thirty-six, seventy-two, one hundred and eight" Shi Nai'an was immersed in the reverie of the novel's conception, muttering unknown numbers.

On the top of the mountain, the Chinese army Dazhai, Hao 13 and the leaders of Laoshan Island should meet each other, Li Pusheng put down the banquet in his clothes, and invited Hao 13 and Shi Nai'an, Chaohu Shuixiong Li Pusheng took Liao Yongan, Liao Yongzhong, Yu Yanyu, Yu Tongyuan, Yu Tongyuan, sat aside, seven or eight cups of wine, and began to get into the right topic.

Hao Shisan said frankly: "Li Dashuai is not only the leader of the Tianwan regime of the Southern Ming Sect, but also occupies the favorable terrain of Shuizhai, why should he return to the Shun Qingfeng army? ”

"Hao Dudu, don't hide it!" Li Pusheng sighed and opened the conversation: "Pusheng is the apprentice of the family teacher Peng Zuyingyu, but the family teacher has been killed in Ruizhou after the defeat of the attack on Hangzhou last year, the imperial court has fought back, and the land laid down in the past years has been lost, and His Majesty Xu Shouhui, the emperor of Tianwan, is nowhere to be found." Pusheng's naval army galloped on the Yangtze River, but unfortunately Mengyuan's counterattack momentum was too fierce, and the shore base was lost, Pusheng's naval army had no land to rely on as a barrier, and in desperation, he abandoned all the big boats, took the Yuxi River into the vast Chaohu Lake, and the Yu family father and son, and the Liao family brothers, the official army could not help us for a while. ”

Li Pusheng persuaded Hao Shisan to have a glass of wine, and said: "It's a pity that the imperial court militia Wanhu Chen also occupied Chaoxian first, cut off the waterway for Pusheng to return to the Yangtze River, and also first Timur Tun soldiers and the state, Yu Que Tun soldiers Anqing, the people along the lake for twenty or thirty miles on the east and west sides of Chaohu Lake, all were moved, Pusheng's men only had more than 10,000 sailors, went ashore and left the lake for an expedition, and they couldn't fight hard, and they couldn't hold it down, but Luzhou in the north of Chaohu Lake was now owned by Hao Dudu, and it also belonged to the anti-Yuan camp, so Pusheng died for tens of thousands of soldiers and decided to go north to Luzhou, Return to the Qingfeng Red Turban Army, and hope that Hao Dudu will accept it! ”

After the Red Turban Army completed the Xishui regime, the banner covered the sky, and attacked Hangzhou down the river, but unfortunately the war was unfavorable, the Mengyuan army followed, and the entire Tianwan regime was defeated, Peng Yingyu was killed in battle, most of the army was defeated, only the double sword Zhao Zhao Pusheng insisted near Chizhou in the south of the Yangtze River, Ni Wenjun struggled in Hankou, and Li Pusheng led the water army to retreat into Chaohu.

Li Pusheng was surrounded by Timur and Yu Que in the first place, encountered a strong wall and cleared the wilderness, and the contact with Zhao Pusheng, Ni Wenjun and other Red Turban Army was cut off, and the grain and salt roads were blocked.

"Thirteen is not talented, although it is lucky to occupy Luzhou and Shouzhou, two lonely cities, thanks to Liu Futong on the north side for me to resist one side, now thirteen in order to go down the Yangtze River, and Mao Gui, Sun Deya joined forces to attack Hezhou, grain and grass have not been opened, why not let me divide an army on land, and Li Dashuai's army to attack Chao County, if you can't capture Chao County within seven days, Thirteen and Li Dashuai will collect troops together, and return to Luzhou in the north, what does Li Dashuai want?"

"It's the best, and I'm willing to obey Hao Dudu's dispatch." Li Pusheng was overjoyed.

Li Pusheng's navy has more than 10,000 people, and Chen Yexian's militia also has more than 10,000 people, because it is an attack and a defense, Li Pusheng expects that he has no chance of winning, if there is an army on land and the navy to attack Chaoxian in two ways, the chance of victory is still quite large.

"Li Dashuai belongs to the Southern Red Turban Army, if one day your Majesty Xu Shouhui re-ascends the throne as emperor, what is Li Dashuai going to do?"

Xu Shouhui in history disappeared for a period of time during this time, and was later re-established as emperor by Ni Wenjun, the son of Ni Man, in Hankou, and Hao Shisan had to consider this history.

"Hey!" Li Pusheng probed and said: "The end of the regime, condensed all the hard work of the family teacher, now the family teacher has traveled west, Li Patou is not talented, when adhering to his legacy, the words should be spoken in the head, if one day His Majesty Xu Shouhui ascends the throne again, Li Patou needs to be handsome all the sailors, and he will go to Shun thousands of miles away, and please let the governor go when the time comes!" ”

Hao Shisan sighed: "Hey! It's a pity that I can't be with Brother Li. ”

The dew husband and wife are better than not, but Hao Shisan admires Li Pusheng as a loyal man, and I am afraid that the boat he urgently needs seems to be about to turn into nothing.
