"I was expecting this time to make meritorious contributions, but I didn't want to break so many soldiers and horses, I was so weak."

Hu Yanzhuo grabbed the side of the boat and stood on the boat, watching the soldiers on the boat slide into the water one after another, sighing, and didn't know what to do.

was stunned, Ruan Xiaoqi had already climbed up from behind, dragging Hu Yanzhuo and jumping forward.

Hu Yanzhuo was caught off guard, and was immediately dragged by Ruan Xiaoqi and fell into the water.

But he didn't know water, fell into the water, and in a panic, he hugged Ruan Xiaoqi.

Ruan Xiaoqi didn't panic, and dived under the water with Hu Yanzhuo.

Hu Yanzhuo saw that the momentum was wrong, and hurriedly let go of Ruan Xiaoqi, and pressed Ruan Xiaoqi to rush to the water.

He let go, but he fell into Ruan Xiaoqi's arms.

Ruan Xiaoqi stretched out his hand to grab Hu Yanzhuo's ankle, and then dragged Hu Yanzhuo to the bottom of the water.

After a few struggles, a lot of water was poured into his mouth and nose, and his consciousness became blurred.

Ruan Xiaoqi saw that Hu Yanzhuo had been flooded enough, so he dragged Hu Yanzhuo with one hand, pulled out the dragon king thorn with the other, and swam out with both feet in the water.

The Liangshan army had already returned to the boat and came to save people.

More than 1,000 officers and soldiers fell into the water and struggled indiscriminately, and ordinary sailors did not dare to approach in the water, for fear of being entangled by them and drowning together, only Ruan's Sanxiong, Zou Yuan, and Zou Run wanted to rob Hu Yanzhuo, but after all, Ruan Xiaoqi, who had the best water nature, was one step faster, and the other four people saw that Ruan Xiaoqi succeeded, and they could only save one casually.

Except for the main general, it doesn't make much sense for the rest of the generals to be non-commissioned soldiers, and in the end Liangshan will be returned.

The trolls are already trying their best to save people, but there are too many people who have fallen into the water. In the end, hundreds drowned.

Ruan Xiaoqi dragged Hu Yanzhuo to the boat and let several sailors escort them into the water village. Then he and Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaowu led the water army to the reeds.

They blocked the large waterways with the shipwreck, but there were many smaller waterways for them to get in and out. For the current water army, this reed swing is their back garden, and they can't go wrong from anywhere.

After the navy scuttled a few more large ships, the officers and men of the rest of the ships surrendered one after another.

Dang Shiying asked the big ship to pick a waterway that looked quite wide and wanted to escape, but he didn't go far, the boat ran aground and couldn't move, and he didn't know how to water.

Hu Yanzhuo never thought he would be so embarrassed. The armor had been stripped of when he had been squeezed into the muddy water, and the rest of the clothes were wet and sticking to his body, and the trousers were still dripping with water.

Hu Yanzhuo could only straighten his waist and maintain his last majesty.

Early this morning, Shi Jin took a group of leaders to Shuizhai to watch the battle, and when the naval army successfully cut off Huyanzhuo's fleet and began to besiege the four ships that came out first, one of which still had Huyanzhuo's military flag on it, everyone knew that the overall situation had been decided.

A group of sailors escorted Hu Yanzhuo back to the bottom of the water village. Seeing Shi Jin standing on the wall with the leaders, he reported: "Ruan Xiaoqi's leader caught Hu Yanzhuo, and we are specially ordered to send it back." ”

"Hurry up and ask General Huyan to come in, don't be rude."

Shi Jin has also seen Hu Yanzhuo. As soon as he gave an explanation, he led everyone down.

When everyone saw them on the golden beach, Shi Jinzuo said: "I have to do it." Please don't blame General Huyan for the faux pas. ”

Hu Yanzhuo sighed, not knowing what to say.

Shi Jin turned his head to Han Tao and Peng Xi behind him and said, "The two brothers will take General Huyan to freshen up first." Then ask General Huyan to come to the Juyi Hall to talk. ”

"Yes."

Hu Yanzhuo saw that Han Tao and Peng Xi had joined the gang in Liangshan, and his heart was also complicated and unspeakable. Silently followed the two to Dazhai to freshen up and change clothes.

Shi Jin and the leaders also went to the Juyi Hall, but they didn't go with Hu Yanzhuo, but waited in the water village before walking up the mountain.

After all, no one wants to be watched all the time when they are embarrassed.

Han Tao led Hu Yanzhuo out of the water village and sighed: "A few days ago, I heard that the general exterminated two thieves in Qingzhou, but I thought that the general could get rid of this catastrophe, and I didn't want the general to bring troops again." ”

Hu Yanzhuo smiled bitterly: "Exterminating the Qingzhou thieves is just to let the Son of Heaven give me a chance to atone for my sins, how can I offset the guilt of the previous defeat." I just thought that the Liangshan Terracotta would go out of the berth decisive battle like the previous one, otherwise when some Tokyo sailors were transferred, they might not have lost. ”

Peng Xi shook his head and said: "The Liangshan soldiers and horses are well-trained, even if they go out of the berth for a decisive battle, the Tokyo Forbidden Army may not be able to defeat the Liangshan soldiers and horses." Shi Jinge...... The leader was reluctant to go out to fight the decisive battle, but he didn't want the Ma Bu army to suffer large casualties. ”

In the past few months, Peng Xi has become accustomed to calling Brother Shi Jin, but just after he exited, he felt that it was a little inappropriate to call him like that in front of Hu Yanzhuo, so he changed to the leader again.

Hu Yanzhuo heard Peng Xi's subconscious name just now, and he was also a little curious about what kind of ability this Shi Jin had to make an old court general like Peng Xi willingly call him brother so quickly.

However, he disagreed with Peng Xi's words, shook his head and said: "The soldiers and horses of Liangshan are indeed brave, but this time I brought 10,000 forbidden troops from Tokyo, and there are 2,000 horse troops alone. ”

Peng Xi said: "Let me tell you something from my heart, the general is not strange, that is, Liangshan only sent 3,000 horse infantry troops to fight with you, and eighty percent of the first to retreat was the Tokyo Forbidden Army." As long as Shi Jin's leader does not fall, the cottage soldiers and horses will not be defeated. If Shi Jin's leader Shuai Qi falls, I don't know how many leaders will avenge him. Most of the cottage leaders are heroes of the rivers and lakes, and they are all impressed by the leader of Shi Jin, and they are willing to serve death. ”

Hu Yanzhuo said: "I also hear how righteous people are in the rivers and lakes, but I'm afraid that this may not be the case with the minions below." ”

Peng Xi said: "Although the minions below may not have the righteousness of the leader, they also have the motivation to fight to the death for Liangshan. Before Liangshan minions went up the mountain, there were mostly people who couldn't get by, and after they went up to Liangshan, they had enough food every day, and they could get some money from time to time. Many people have moved their children to Dongshan to settle down, and their lives cannot be said to be rich, but they are also better off than most people outside. How can they not fight to the death for this paradise. Moreover, the imperial court has always been strict with thieves, if they are caught by officers and soldiers, most of them are capital crimes, how dare they not fight to the death? ”

Han Tao nodded and said: "The word paradise is not wrong, there is no intrigue between the DPRK and China here, and there is no need to be afraid of being oppressed." Nowadays, except for the imperial court who regards the people of Liangshan as thieves, no one in the world does not say that Liangshan is a hero. ”

Hu Yanzhuo looked at the two of them like this, and said: "Although this place is good, it is still not accepted by the imperial court after all, so can you really feel at ease here?" ”

A trace of helplessness also flashed on Han Tao's face, and he said, "What if you don't feel at ease?" Leader Shi Jin is willing to let us go back, but how can we go back? ”

"Would you like to let you go?"

Hu Yanzhuo's eyes lit up, he asked, and then it darkened again.

The responsibility for the defeat of the previous army has not been eliminated, and this time he has broken a lot of soldiers and horses, and offended Gao Yu, if he dares to go back, I am afraid that he will not be able to escape death alone, and he will have to be Gao Yu's whole family.

Han Tao said: "Leader Shi Jin said that as long as the cottage brothers are willing to join the gang, they will never be forced. Except for those who should be killed, those who don't want to join the gang can be released. Just promise not to fight a second time, otherwise you will not be spared when you catch it the second time. Although the general came twice, he was not caught before, and Leader Shi would not have killed the general. It's just that the head of Shi is willing to let the general go back, and the general is afraid that it will be difficult to go back. It's better to settle down here with us, and the heroes of Liangshan do the right thing for the sky, and they don't have a conscience. ”

Hu Yanzhuo shook his head and did not speak.

Han Tao and Peng Xi saw that Hu Yanzhuo was thinking about it, so they didn't say anything more.

Han Tao and Hu Yanzhuo were in similar figures, so they led Hu Yanzhuo to his small courtyard to freshen up, and changed their clothes, and then the three of them came to the Juyi Hall.

In the Juyi Hall, Shi Jin and everyone were already seated.

Seeing Hu Yanzhuo come in, Shi Jin got up and said, "We don't know each other if we don't fight, general, please sit down and speak." ”

Hu Yanzhuo arched his hand and said: "The general of the defeated army, why does the general treat him with courtesy?" ”

Shi Jin said with a smile: "I heard that General Huyan is law-abiding and has never harmed the people. Twice came to attack my cottage, but they were also loyal. In order to avoid causing more casualties to the cottage brothers in the future, our cottage has always had the practice of releasing the arrested people. It's just that the general has an old relationship with Han Tao and Peng Xi, and the leaders of the cottage also have a lot of admiration for the general, so they took the liberty to ask the general to talk about it. If the general is inconvenient, we will not force us to stay, so we will send the general down the mountain. ”

This history is sincere.

It was clear that the release of the arrested people just wanted to avoid causing greater casualties to the cottage brothers in the future, and it was a slow court military spirit, rather than hypocrisy and hypocrisy, saying something compassionate and compassionate, but it was comfortable to listen to.

Hu Yanzhuo arched his hand and said: "The leader treats people with sincerity, and Hu Yanzhuo does not lie." The previous defeat, I told the court that the main reason for the defeat was that the palace marshal's mansion was too tight, and when I lost the sky, although I shirked some responsibility, I also offended Gao Yu. This defeat is because I failed to anticipate the enemy's opportunity, but it is a sin that should be killed. ”

On the side, Lin Chong interjected: "Gao Yu's house will be avenged, when the general offends him, this defeat, he will definitely blame your whole family." ”

Hu Yanzhuo nodded with a heavy face and said: "I also heard Gao Yu ruthless, I don't care if I confess my guilt and be punished, but my family has never been at fault, so I hesitate in my heart." ”

Luda has a straightforward temperament and said with a smile: "There is a lot of hesitation, I am a good man in Liangshan who does the right thing for the sky, and I will not tarnish your family's reputation." simply joined here, and the brothers killed corrupt officials and saved the people together, and this martial art was not in vain. ”

Han Tao and Peng Xi also took the opportunity to persuade Yanzhuo again.

Shi Jin also said: "For the sake of a small family, the general should also be patient." ”

Hu Yanzhuo sighed, got up and arched his hand: "I feel the kindness of the leaders, Hu Yanzhuo is willing to be a pawn in the cottage." ”

Shi Jin said with a smile: "Okay, it is also a blessing for the general to be able to join the gang." We will celebrate later, but the small matter of the general's family is urgent, so I asked the general to repair a book, and then asked the Zhu Gui brothers to go to the general's family in the starry night, so as not to be harmed by Gao Yu's family.
