Yao Pingzhong set up a formation outside the city to block the door, thinking that he was in a strict formation, and he was personally in charge, so naturally a fly could not fly out, and he would be hated by thousands of thieves.

Unexpectedly, he became hasty, and six big insects were killed behind him, tearing the formation like a wolf and tiger, and hurriedly gave up Shi Bao and came to block it in person.

happened to see a red-faced and beautiful man, riding three war horses and rushing out, with a spear in his hand to reap the lives of officers and soldiers, Yao Pingzhong stepped forward to stop him, and scolded in his mouth: "Liangshan thieves, I dare to pick up Yao's tiger power, so that you will die one by one without a place to be buried!" ”

The red-faced man laughed and said: "My brother has rarely been involved in Jiangnan in his life, and his reputation has not been established, and even cats and dogs dare to shout in front of him—okay, kill you first, and promote my good reputation in Liangshan." ”

After that, his legs were pulled out of the stirrups, and he kicked forward, and immediately kicked the bolts on both sides of the chest strap of the war horse, and the iron chain fell to the ground with a bang, and the left and right war horses ran away. There is a poem as proof:

The famous little captain in the northwest, and the beautiful bearded man of Shandong.

Two guns at the same time, roaring like thunder and rainbow!

He didn't know that the other party was powerful at the beginning, and he was secretly surprised, and he knew that the opponent was not bad, so he hurriedly showed his real ability, and then didn't put half of the empty space, the two guns didn't let each other go, you bit me, I pestered, and they all spun the plate at each other's vital points.

Shi Bao's bystanders were clear, seeing that although the two of them were tied, if it was about marksmanship and strength, after all, Yao Pingzhong was better, and immediately shouted: "In Xia Ming to teach Shi Bao, thank you to the heroes of Liangshan for helping, this Yao Pingzhong is a famous general in the official army, and the heroes should not underestimate him." ”

I heard a man shouting: "This is not the time to fight, since I am a fierce general, wait for me and Zhu Tong to join forces with him!" ”

Yao Pingzhong was fighting from evil, and out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a person untying a chain of horses, holding a wolf tooth stick with copper nails in his hand, and slamming it like a ball of fire, smashing the big stick, the momentum was extremely vicious, where did he dare to underestimate him? Hurriedly shook the gun, unloaded the force layer by layer, and defused his offensive.

The ferocity of the Han smashing, the subtlety of Yao Pingzhong's blocking, the other party's eyes lit up, and he shouted the word "good", and then smashed it with five or six sticks in a row, and the end was:

Hitting the heavenly spirit and pounding the heart, it is like the south fire refining the west gold.

The rod is rolling in the dust, and the horse is galloping and murderous.

Zhu Tong next to him didn't spare his hand at all, and the gun was quickly retracted, cooperating with the mace to attack endlessly.

Yao Pingzhong shouted, using all the means of his life, a whining and strange roar of a gun dance, and finally took this round of fierce attacks, and secretly exclaimed in his heart: No wonder a water pool in Liangshan District has broken into such a reputation, it turns out that there is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger among them! I'm lonely now, if it's a love war, a slight miss, everything is over.

Swinging the big gun, he swept out a cold light, took the opportunity to pull the reins, jumped out of the formation, and shouted: "That's it! The two of you beat me one, Yao is alone, and the one with the seed leaves his name, and he will take revenge in the future. ”

The two laughed in unison: "If you don't change your name, you can't change your surname, the two of us are 'Thunderbolt Fire' Qin Ming and 'Beautiful Beard' Zhu Tong!" There are also 'blue-faced beasts' Yang Zhi, 'urgent pioneers' Suo Chao, 'flower monks' Lu Zhishen, and 'Huaixi Heavenly Demon' Duan Sanniang, who were ordered by Chao Gai's brother to come to Jiangnan to help the Holy Father! ”

Yao Pingzhong gritted his teeth and said: "Sure enough, they are all famous thieves!" The six of you, five of whom have eaten the country's food, do not want to serve the country loyally, but come to help each other and fight against the thief, and the sun falls on Yao's hands, so you know what it means to regret not at the beginning! ”

Lu Zhishen said angrily: "In this case, the Sprinkle family will kill you today!" ”

Untied the horse and waved his Zen staff to rush forward, how dare Yao Pingzhong be entangled by him? With a sneer, he turned around and ran.

Seeing that Yao Pingzhong was not an opponent, the officers and soldiers had no fighting spirit, so they fled one after another, killed him once, and rescued Shibao and everyone.

Shi Bao also wanted to find Yao Xing to avenge Xu Bai, but in the chaos, he didn't know where to go, and Shi Bao didn't dare to delay for a long time, and shouted: "Brothers Liangshan, this city has fallen, and I will go with my younger brother to see the Holy Father, and then make plans." ”

Yang Zhi shouted: "Where is my brother Song Jiang?" If you don't find him, you won't go with you. ”

Shi Bao smiled bitterly: "Brother doesn't have to hide it, Brother Wu Zhi and I are confidants and old acquaintances - he is still stationed in Wulongling, and he will be with the Holy Father later, and then send someone to lead you to find him." ”

Lu Zhishen said: "Since you are my brother's friend, I naturally trust you!" Seeing that your injury is not light, there is a good gold sore medicine here in the Sprinkle family, and I have dressed your wound, so it will be okay for you to go. ”

At that moment, Shi Bao hastily dressed his wounds, and the group ran west to the bank of the Xin'an River, went up the river, and made a detour to Bangyuan Cave.

After walking for one or twenty miles, the sky was getting brighter, and suddenly I saw the valley in front of me, about one or two thousand people lined up on the way, Shi Bao exclaimed: "Could it be that the official army expected our whereabouts and sent troops to intercept them in advance?" But that's how good. ”

Lu Zhishen said anxiously: "You have more than 10,000 people here, are you afraid of a few bird feathers from him?" That's it, the defeated army will not be brave, and the family will go to open a way for you. ”

Let's just take the belly of the horse and kill it alone.

Duan Sanniang glared at the tigress and shouted, "Senior brother, sister will help you fight!" The upside-down mace followed.

Shi Bao rushed upwards angrily, glared and shouted, "Why did Shi say that he was afraid?" This 'flower monk' is three points more reckless than my family's 'Baoguang Rulai'! Wei Heng, take your people to protect them, after all, you have good intentions to help, how can you let the two of you fight alone. ”

Wei Heng was about to go out, but was stopped by Yang Zhi, squeezed out a smile and said: "Brother Shi, don't be surprised, my senior brother, the knife is tofu and heartfelt, he sees that your subordinates are tired and tight, and he has no intention of underestimating it, not to mention one or two thousand people, he has no obstacle to breaking alone, not to mention Duan Sanniang to help." ”

After a few words, Lu and Duan had already killed in front of the opposite team, and Lu Zhishen shouted: "Dare to block the road of the family, isn't it hell to throw yourself?" ”

was about to let go of the fight, when he suddenly saw a person holding a Pu knife, limping out, and shouted: "Senior brother, sister of the Duan family, don't be reckless, this is your own person." ”

Lu Zhishen hurriedly reined in his horse, and his face showed joy: "Divine doctor, why are you here?" This gang is not an officer and army? ”

The person who came was not the side, it was the "miracle doctor" An Daoquan, seeing Lu Zhishen movingly asked, he quickly explained: "Naturally, it is not the official army, but a few heroes in the Ming Sect, as well as the four brothers of Yu Bao, all of whom were seriously injured in the previous fight, when the city was broken yesterday, he led a team of men and horses to go first, but he liked that those officers and soldiers did not know the geography of Muzhou, only blocked four gates, and the small gate in the northeast corner was empty and no one cared. If someone escapes, they can answer one or two. ”

Lu Zhishen nodded and praised: "This person named Li Tianyan is not weak!" ”

Then he frowned and said: "It's just that he put a lot of horses here, but he shouldn't have called you a doctor to fight, now it's better to only hurt your legs, if you hurt your hands, how to straighten people's bones and cut sores?" ”

An Daoquan hurriedly shouted: "Our doctor is also good at playing with knives, and besides, my leg is ......" He wanted to say that he caused the Pu knife to hurt his foot, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed again, and only said: "Don't talk about the leg in advance......

Duan Sanniang's eyes widened: "I want to say!" ”

She jumped off the horse and pointed to An Daoquan's leg: "This is not an ordinary leg!" You are running thousands of miles for the righteousness of the rivers and lakes, and you hurt this leg, this is the pride of the rivers and lakes, the thigh of chivalrous bones, how can you not say it! ”

"Ahem!" With a cough, in the crowd, Li Tianyan slowly came out and arched his hand: "This lady is right!" My brothers and other brothers, many Cheng'an doctors rescued him, but they didn't take care of him, and even if he was injured, it was all Li's fault! Master, and this lady, forgive me. ”

Duan Sanniang was secretly proud - although she was rude, after all, she was a woman, and she had some small calculations, thinking that since she came to help Mingjiao, she would sell more well, and wouldn't it be easier for Cao Cao to win people's hearts at that time? An Daoquan's thigh was injured by Mingjiao, so he naturally asked them to receive favors, so he was willing to take it lightly.

She didn't know that it was self-defeating, An Daoquan's old face turned red, and he waved his hand again and again: "It's okay, it's okay - since Shi Shuai also brought people here, you can't stay here for a long time, and make peace with the Anglican Church, and then make plans." ”

Everyone immediately joined forces and went to Bangyuan Cave, and Li Tianyan was very pleased to see that Shi Bao had brought out more than 10,000 people.

Liang Shan and a few people also gathered together to speak, and An Daoquan said, "Why didn't Mr. Li and Brother Lei come with you?" ”

Zhu Tong looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Li's meaning, eggs can't be put in one basket, after all, I don't know if the eldest brother has changed here, so let me wait to take the bright road, he brought his own Lei Heng, pretending to be Mr. Feng Shui and Dao Tong, and then came, so bright and dark, really something, easy to deal with." ”

An Daoquan nodded again and again after hearing this, and when he didn't say anything all the way, he finally arrived at Bangyuan Cave in the afternoon.

When Li Tianyan was stationed at Gukou before, he had sent the ghost monk Wen Kerang to rush back one step earlier and inform Fang La of the loss of Qingxi.

Fang La was shocked when he heard this, he was going to send troops today to fight a decisive battle in Muzhou, who knew that Tong Guan was so fast, he attacked the city that night, and suddenly Fang Cun was in chaos, and he was at a loss for a while.

When Li Tianyan and others arrived, Fang La felt a little comforted when he saw that more than 10,000 people had escaped, and heard that these people had only escaped by relying on Lu Zhishen and others, so he was grateful, and pulled a few people to thank him, and couldn't stop praising Liangshan Yi Bo Yuntian.

Lu Zhishen said a few polite words to him, and said: "Now that the officers and soldiers have won one after another, and the advance is very tight, the Holy Father still needs to deal with it as soon as possible, but it's a pity that the martial brother is not here, otherwise there will be a good way to break the enemy." ”

Fang La smiled, his expression changed slightly, and then he smiled again: "The widow has also heard of 'Wu Mengde' for a long time, and he just hates to have him teach him face-to-face - but there are also many talents in my teaching, and everyone works together to discuss a countermeasure." ”

At that moment, people called a group of civil and military officials, and invited their two masters, Wang Gong Lao Buddha and Chen Hoop Bucket, to discuss countermeasures together.

Zuo Xiang Lou Minzhong explained the current situation to everyone, and after he said it, Bao Daoyi jumped up and said: "Your Majesty doesn't have to be worried, put the sword of Poor Dao, what are you afraid of fighting?" Zheng Biao and I, with 10,000 horses, went to retrieve Qingxi. ”

Chen Hoop Bucket looked thin, fifty or sixty years old, and sat around Fang La with Wang Gong Lao Buddha, frowned when he heard the words, and said in a deep voice: "Ten thousand horses? He has more than 100,000 Western troops, are you 10,000 heavenly soldiers and generals? Such words, which may seem like lifting spirits, are actually useless. ”

Wang Gong Lao Buddha couldn't see the specific age, bald head and white beard, majestic demeanor, closed his eyes, nodded and said: "Yes, if the officers and soldiers are easy to deal with, he won't be able to fight here." ”

Bao Daoyi's face turned red and he didn't dare to say anything more.

Fang La got up and said: "Since 10,000 is too little, I will kill the whole army, there are now 40,000 or 50,000 people in the cave, everyone works together, and it may not be impossible to win him." ”

Chen Hoop Bucket sighed and shook his head: "This is not a fight on the rivers and lakes, it is not such a reckoning, Seven Buddhas, what do you say?" ”

Fang Qifo got up, glanced at Fang La, hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the two old sect masters, we originally decided to have a decisive battle yesterday, one has a city to rely on, and the other Qingxi also has tens of thousands of horses. But since he broke Muzhou last night, he has already lost one thing and the other - the officers and soldiers are already powerful, and now they have won a new victory, and their morale is naturally like a rainbow. Although Shi Bao brought back some men and horses, if it was not repaired, it would be extremely difficult to fight again, and with only 30,000 Royal Forest Army, the chances of victory were really not great. Therefore, the meaning of Wechen is to take the defensive position for the time being, and then ......"

Before he finished speaking, Fang La was already angry: "In this way, I will hide in the cave and not come out?" If it spreads to the rivers and lakes, won't people laugh at me for being incompetent? ”

Most of the Mingjiao civil and military officers nodded, but Lu Zhishen's gang was mostly from military officers, and they were inspired by Lao Cao, and their knowledge was much higher than these green forest heroes.

exchanged glances with each other, and they all secretly sneered and shook their heads, thinking that Fang La only had such a pattern, so it was no wonder that my brother had the idea of beating you - even without my brother, Tong Guan could also level you, wouldn't these heroes under your command be lost in vain.

Wang Gong's expression remained unchanged, but Chen Hoop Bucket sighed slightly in disappointment.

Fang Qifo's eyes were slightly gloomy, but he held his head high, and continued: "Your Majesty, the so-called defensive position is just an expedient measure, to help the source cave hide in the deep mountains, the most easy to defend and difficult to attack, if he dares to fight, we can use the land to the extreme, so as to defeat him a few times, one to frustrate the spirit of his officers and soldiers, the other to reorganize the morale of our army, and then order Wang Yin and Gao Yu to lead the Shezhou soldiers to come, please 'Wu Mengde' try to respond, gather all his strength, and trap his main force in this mountain...... If Your Majesty cares about the reputation of the rivers and lakes, and waits until Tong Guan is defeated, why not cause a sensation in the world? ”

Fang La listened to his detailed explanation, and felt reasonable, so he couldn't help but nodded: "If the Seven Buddhas say this, it's not unreasonable, but the widow is worried, Tong Guan will not come to help the source cave, but first collect Shezhou, then we will stick here, how many days can the food be eaten?" Don't forget, he still has a branch in Xuanzhou, if Wang Yin brings troops back to help, how can Shezhou resist? ”

As he spoke, he stared closely at Fang Qifo's eyes - everyone in Liangshan was here at this moment, and Fang La was inconvenient to say it clearly, so he reminded Fang Qifo in this way, now that the officers and soldiers are victorious, is that Wu Zhi still reliable?

Fang Baihua saw her brother's intentions on the side, and immediately said: "Brother Huang, his partial division, the number of people is also limited, wait for me to personally go to see Wang Yin and Gao Yu, let them lead the army back to help, and leave three or five thousand people with me to guard Yuling Pass, who can step further?" If he really came to fight, he was designed to capture his main general, and everything would naturally be fine. ”

The official heard: it turns out that this Yuling Pass, is the end of the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms, Shanyue people to resist Sun Ce built, located between the two mountains, according to the mountain with a block of stone, three zhang high, three zhang wide, more than 20 zhang long, the situation is precipitous, it is the way to enter Shezhou in the north, if the troops are sent from Xuanzhou to fight, here is the place of contention.

Fang La's heart was calculating, if he really captured Wu Song, he was not afraid that Wu Zhi would fly to the sky, so that several people and horses would work together, with the help of the mountain-shaped cave vein, maybe he would break Tong Guan in one fell swoop, and the lost territory at that time would be determined by itself.

Immediately said: "In this case, sister, you will work hard, quickly take my holy decree to transfer Wang Yin and Gao Yu, and I will let the imperial uncle fully cooperate with you." ”

The imperial uncle he said in his mouth was his own uncle Fang Yuan (Yin Hou), who was named the emperor uncle and served as the guardian of Shezhou.

Immediately ordered Lou Minzhong to draw up a holy decree according to his intentions, Fang La used the seal in court, Fang Baihua took it, and was about to leave, Duan Sanniang suddenly got up and shouted: "Miss Fang, if you go to deal with the officers and soldiers in Xuanzhou, my sister is willing to be a helper with you." ”

Fang La and Fang Baihua were stunned, and said in their hearts that this fat woman is from Liangshan, and she wants to go with her, could it be that she wants to secretly communicate with Wu Song and others?

Fang La frowned and looked, but saw Lu Zhishen, Yang Zhi and others looking at their noses and noses, their noses and hearts, all of them looked strange, and they became more and more suspicious, and glanced at Fang Baihua, and said in his heart, it is not easy to expose at this time, Baihua is a meticulous person, if you really hold your handle, I also have something to say. Qiang smiled: "Imperial sister, you are the main general, you are in charge." ”

What Fang Baihua thinks is exactly the same as Fang La, and he said in his heart that these Liangshan people are afraid that we don't know the origin of that officer and soldier, I am on guard, I am not afraid that you will fly to the sky, and see how you act!

Then he made a happy look and said: "I lead the troops with a woman, it is inconvenient, if this girl is willing to help, it is a good thing that I can't ask for!" ”

At that moment, she stepped forward and took Duan Sanniang's hand, and asked her to find a good horse for her to ride, and the two said goodbye to Fang La, and went out of the cave to Shezhou.

At the same time, Dai Zong hurried all the way, found Lu Junyi and others in the military camp in Xuanzhou, and after a few words, he showed surprise and shouted: "So, Wu Erlang took Xiao Yang to Jinling a few days ago to pick up Zhu Mian's dog officer?" ”

Niu Gao was on the side, aggrieved and said: "I only brought Yang Zaixing, and what did he say that he promised the anti-thieves in Runzhou, and he must kill Zhu Mian and avenge the people of Jiangnan...... Hey, I don't know if my brother will blame the second brother. ”

After hearing this, Dai Zong took a deep breath, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid I won't ......"

As he spoke, he took out a letter from his arms: "My brother said that he would give this letter to Erlang, and he also deliberately said that if Erlang is not there, he will let the military advisor take everyone to read the letter together." ”

This is exactly what it is: Tong Guan attacked Muzhou at night, and the Seven Buddhas planned to restore Jinou. Baihua wanted to catch the enemy general, and Duan's accompanied him to break his small head.
