After staring at the last line of defense of Erlong Mountain for a long time, Dang Shiying, the commander of the Beijing Army, who commanded at the second juncture, said to himself: "I don't know what happened to Liu Commandery? ”

"yes, we're moving so fast! If you follow the current trend, you can win the Erlong Bandit Village today! I was afraid that the Liangshan thief Kou would shrink his head when he heard the wind and retreated to the eight hundred miles of water. When it came to their lair, even though Liu Tongzhi's subordinates were all elite soldiers, we also lost the geographical advantage first! ”

Dang Shixiong was also worried, the three of them who came suddenly wanted to sell Murong Yan, a relative of the emperor's relatives, to save face, and at the same time give a big gift to Enshuai Gaoyu, but now the progress is too smooth, but it makes them suffer from gains and losses.

"The two commanders can rest assured, the two leaders here, Zhu Tong and Lei Heng, were originally old friends of Yuncheng County with Chao Gai, the big leader of Erlong Mountain, and Chao Gai is a man and woman who are known for their righteousness, and they will definitely not sit idly by and watch the nest being broken by us!"

Pang Yi was in a good mood at this time, after just a few days of running-in, the henchmen of these two powerful ministers completely subverted his previous concerns, and he did not fight timidly, and he spared no effort to suppress the thieves, so that he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

"I heard that Liang Shanbo is not Chao Gai's master, so what is the name of Chao Gai on the Tianzhu stone tablet, and his people really have such a great influence on Liangshan? Let's just focus on this guy, will there be any mistakes? Seeing Pang Yi's confident look, the Dang brothers glanced at each other, and then saw their younger brother Dang Shixiong asking.

"The two rulers only know one and don't know the other!" Pang Yi shook his head and smiled, and when the Dang brothers saw that he was confident, they all said, "I want to hear about it!" ”

"As far as I know, these two dragon mountains were originally a house robbed by Deng Long, and later was merged by Wang Lunhuo and given to Chao Gai and his gang who robbed the birth gang. Although Chao Gai and Wang Lun had a feud in Yuncheng County in the past, since Chao Gai bowed to Wang Lun, Wang Lun has been very kind to him. It can be said that it is asking for money for money, and asking for things for things. This guy is also in his forties, and he has no shame, and he has no shame when he sees his son and nephew, Wang Lun, who is closer than anyone else, and he is a 'brother', and he doesn't feel embarrassed at all, but he tells the strongmen on the rivers and lakes to tell the story of these two people as a beautiful talk! The two rulers, with such a relationship, are you still afraid that Chao Gai will not move Wang Lun? ”

Before meeting, the two were still suspicious on their faces, and Pang Yi smiled. He also said: "Although Chao Gai has the name of righteousness, it is still not comparable to Wang Lun, the big leader of Liangshanbo. Wang Lun's reputation has risen in the past two years, and he has been blown to the sky on the rivers and lakes. If someone in the green forest says that its righteousness is thin and cloudy, those who hear it applaud, and there is no objection! If he sits back and watches Zhu Tong and Lei Heng be wiped out by our army, hum, how can he deceive people if he has a bad reputation in the future? ”

With Pang Yi's confession, the Dang brothers were finally relieved, but they heard Dang Shixiong echo and said: "What Pang Dujian said is reasonable!" I want Wang Lun to be willing to save Lu Junyi and Chai Jin. For this reason, he did not hesitate to break the two cities, and he would definitely not abandon Lei Heng and Zhu Tong. As the old general said, these robbers who used their fame to deceive the world have been pierced by us. How can you justify yourself in the future? ”

Pang Yi laughed, looked around at the two people in front of him and said, "The most unseen thing in the old man's life is Wang Lun and others, who are obviously robbers against the imperial court and rob houses. Attacking the state and breaking the government, what dare you say 'doing the right thing for the sky'! How can this 'heaven' be 'replaced' by him as a thief, so what is the use of our people? ”

"The old general has seen extraordinary. My brothers are all admired! Dang Shiying was full of interest when he saw him, and he didn't know what to say.

The low posture of the Dang brothers made Pang Yi very agreeable, only to see him wave his hand, and said: "The two generals are admired by the old man, he has already achieved the high position of the commander at a young age, and when they meet again in the future, the old man is only afraid that he will bow to the next official!" ”

"Where did the old general come from? After thinking that Pang Du was a famous prisoner, he was both civil and military, not to mention the importance of Tong Shu's secret, this time he solved Murong Zhizhou's confidants, and he would be rewarded in the future, and he would be able to run the old general? Even the two young generals, when they meet Enshuai, they will also truthfully report the old general's merits today! Dang Shiying said with a smile.

Pang Yi stroked his hair and sighed: "The old man is about to enter the coffin, and fame and fortune have long been lightened!" But if I can work for the official family for a few more years, it will be considered my life's wish! ”

If you want to gain power in front of Gao Yu, in addition to having real skills, you also have to be empathetic. The Dang brothers can get to their current position, how can they not hear the meaning of Pang Yi's words? immediately made a promise that he would definitely speak for him in front of Gao Yu.

Pang Yi saw that he was in a good mood, so he opened his mind with the two juniors at the city gate, and commented on the recent military and political events of the imperial court:

"I think that Xu Jing was just a plaster seller in the market back then, and he lost to the high position of the Taiyuan Festival envoy of the Shangdang, and the old man looked at his 10,000 elite soldiers, and he was completely lawless, and he was sent to the hands of Tianhu rebels, and he was also to blame! There are also the four eunuchs who conquered Hedong, all of whom were people with wine bags and rice bags, I heard rumors in the army, have three of them surrendered to Tian Hu? ”

Dang Shiying interjected: "There really is such a thing! In addition to Li Ming, the supervisor of the Xuzhou Soldiers and Horses, the remaining Duan Pengju, the supervisor of the Suizhou Soldiers and Horses, Chen Zhu, the supervisor of the Zhengzhou Soldiers and Horses, and Han Tianlin, the supervisor of the Tangzhou Soldiers and Horses, were captured by mistake. The official family was furious about this, and sent people to supervise the three people's families, and sent additional elite soldiers from Deng, Ru, Song, and Chen Sizhou, respectively, under the leadership of Wu Bingyi, Wang Yi, Ma Wanli, and Zhou Xin, to listen to the orders of the two generals! ”

"Probably true! The old man knew that these three people didn't have much ability, and they only relied on patting horses and whiskers to take charge of the soldiers and horses of a state. However, according to the old man, Tian Hu was only suffering from scabies after all, or Gao Taiwei saw thousands of miles and understood that Liang Shanbo was the elbow and armpit of the imperial court, so he raised an army of 130,000 and used fierce medicine to cure Shen Zhen! Where is it like the imperial court to conquer Tian Hu, slowly adding fuel to the heat, it is really a frightening wind hitting the slow Langzhong! Alas......"

Pang Yi let out a long sigh and called the Dang brothers to look at each other, the veteran in front of him is so old, why is he still so frivolous, casually ignoring the military and politics of the imperial court? It seems that there is a reason why he is not pleasing to children. The two of them hadn't dealt with him before, and they knew that it was taboo to talk about it in a shallow way, so they were just playing haha and bringing the topic over.

"But how many people can understand the general outline of the captain? The ministers in the court are only afraid of criticism, thinking that the current court is at a critical juncture to conquer Tian Hu, and the blame Taiwei doesn't know the general situation, right? But how do they know that the current world has long been full of bandits, and the people's hearts are unstable......"

Although Pang Yi said it slipperily, he didn't scold anyone when he caught him, and he gave Gao Yu a lot of face in front of the Dang brothers, but the Dang brothers didn't dare to go deeper on this topic, there were Liu Menglong's people on the left and right, and no one knew which god they were relying on behind them, and this conversation would cause countless troubles out of thin air when this conversation spread out in the future. saw that at this time, Dang Shixiong interrupted him and said:

"The old general doesn't know that Shengshang and Cai Xiang are still very supportive of the Tai Lieutenant, even Tong Shumi, and they didn't say anything about this matter! With the support of these two important ministers and the official family, although the Taiwei of my family is under pressure, it is because he is afraid of disappointing the ardent hopes of the official family, and has nothing to do with other ways! ”

Pang Yi snorted when he heard this, and he saw the madness on his face, as if he was a sober person in the court. I only heard him say: "If you haven't moved his Western Army, what will a certain minister say?" ”

Although he is Tong Guan in the eyes of others, only he understands the bitterness, but it seems that Pang Yi has suffered Tong Guan's dumb loss, so he pointed the finger at another person: "And Cai Xiang, the old man wants to borrow the hand of the captain to avenge his son-in-law, how can he object?" ”

The Dang brothers felt that they were about to be unable to take it anymore, and then they were complained by this "old man talking about juvenile madness", but they were afraid that they would really not be able to stop talking. In fact, this is the case in officialdom, the older they are, the more they dare to say it, as if they are in the prime of life, they seem to be old, and they abide by the principle that silence is golden.

Fortunately, at this time, the herald had important news to report, and the two of them suddenly seemed to be amnestied, and hurriedly called someone to the city to report, Pang Yi had to stop when he saw this. I only heard a report: "The villain is the commander of Liu Commander, and the Liangshan fleet has appeared an hour ago, and the two commanders and Pang Dujian can give it a go!" ”

"Good!" Pang Yi slapped his hand and said to the Dang brothers: "Two generals, it's up to you!" ”

It didn't take long for Zhu Tong, who was guarding the last pass of Erlong Mountain, to wake up from the fake sleep, and subconsciously grabbed the bloodstained Pu knife placed next to him, got up and lay down on the empty space of the female wall, and the scene that caught his eye made him feel that the fake sleep just now might be the last nap in his life.

At this time, I saw that the gate of the second pass had been pushed open, and the officers and soldiers who were maintaining the formation rushed up with donkey carts, and bags of dirt were piled up to shorten the distance between the two sides of the bloody battle. At this time, Pang Yi's gang began to cast cold arrows on the pass again, and the whistling arrows and short crossbows made everyone unable to raise their heads.

When the last moment came, Zhu Tong took a breath and shouted to the hundreds of brothers on the city wall who volunteered to stay and defend the city:

"The more we persevere, the more chance the brothers will have to escape! You are also from Liangshan, you all know the regulations of Liangshan's pension for soldiers, let's die here, don't lose! ”

Those who want to leave have already left, and the remaining 300 or so people are all bachelors who have volunteered to stay, although Zhu Tong can't call all their names, but these are such people who will accompany him to complete the last journey of his life.

At this time, I don't know who took the lead and shouted, and then the swan song of these heroes echoed all over the mountains:

"Swear to live and die with Brother Dutou!" (To be continued......)
