Chapter 20: The Origin of the Sharpshooter

In the evening, a steward from Hujiazhuang came to deliver the letter.

This is Zhu Biao's handwritten letter, it turns out that it was Hu Sanniang who attacked the Liangshan camp today.

She took advantage of the fact that Liangshan's elite was exhausted, and the camp was empty, so she led people to kill it and rescued Zhu Biao.

I wish the dragon great joy, and rewarded the steward with five taels of silver, wine and meat.

Because it was dark and there was a war going on, I left him for one night and left tomorrow morning.

Zhu Long told his father and Zhu Hu the good news as soon as possible.

Zhu Hu grinned, and Zhu Taigong cried with joy, and asked Zhu Long to write a letter urging Zhu Biao to come back quickly.

"Father, what are you anxious about, isn't it good for the third brother to be in Hujiazhuang, just get along with the three sisters of the Hujia family more, and it will be more harmonious in the future. Besides, there's a war going on at home, so let him hide outside. Zhu Long persuaded with nonsense.

Zhu Taigong was stunned for a moment, and felt that it made sense, so he nodded and said: "Well, Dalang, you are right, then good, let him live in Hujiazhuang for a while!" ”

"Hey, why is this big gun in your hand, and when did you get it?" Zhu Taigong was very surprised when he saw the flying dragon spear in his eldest son's hand.

"Father, have you seen this gun too?" Zhu Long hurriedly asked.

"I saw it when I was a child, and it has always been in the corner of the arsenal......"

"Do you know where this gun came from?"

"Listen to your grandfather, it is the iron spear used by the famous general Wang Yanzhang of the fifth generation."

"Wang Yanzhang?" Zhu Long was taken aback.

This is a super fierce man in the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties!

Li Cunxiao may be recognized as the first fierce general of the Five Dynasties, but that is only the influence of "The Romance of the Five Dynasties of the Remnant Tang Dynasty", in the official history of "Zizhi Tongjian", Wang Yanzhang is the strongest warrior of that era.

It's like Guan Yu is the first fierce general of the Three Kingdoms in the official history, and Qin Qiong is definitely one of the best masters at that time, but the romance story is good-looking, easy to understand and wonderful, those official histories, although they are also very exciting, but they can understand very little, and for the Venerable, they use more Spring and Autumn penmanship, grass gray snake line, and readers need to figure out the author's original intention from between the lines.

Zhu Long said suspiciously: "Isn't he surnamed Wang, how can our Zhu family have his weapons?" ”

"Do you know where the princess is from?" I wish the mysterious secret path of the god Taigong.

"I don't know."

Zhu Taigong said proudly: "It's our people from Shouzhang County, Yunzhou!" ”

Yunzhou is now Dongping Mansion, which was promoted from a state a few years ago, just like an ordinary county to a county-level city, although the administrative level has not changed, but the political status has improved.

The 800-mile Yangsanpo is located in the middle of Dongpyeong-province and Jeju, Dongpyeong-province is in the north and Jeju is in the south.

The famous Yunseong County is just west of Yangsanbo, but it is not under the jurisdiction of Yunju, but Jeju.

Zhu Taigong Zou Baba's face appeared with a glorious brilliance, and he said with full anger: "Our ancestor Zhu followed Wang Taishi to join the army, and he is his confidant and personal soldier. After his old man was captured, he swore not to surrender and calmly went to righteousness, and the ancestor of our Zhu family returned to the field with his relics. ”

"The city wall of Zhujiazhuang is also a fortress built in that era, otherwise with my Zhujia family, how can I afford to build such a city wall!"

Zhu Long immediately relieved the doubts in his heart, he had always wondered why a landlord's manor had such a tall and strong city wall.

Even if there is a mine at home, can the government approve it? This is a city wall, a military installation! If it is regarded as an illegal construction and removal, it will be light, and if it is not done well, it will be detached as a big hat of rebellion.

He looked at the Flying Dragon Divine Spear in his hand, it was still flickering with cold light, and he couldn't tell that it was an antique of more than 200 years, and it was worthy of being a divine weapon.

He came out from Zhu Taigong and inspected the night city defense.

In spring, there is a large temperature difference between day and night, and the scorching sun shines during the day, and the heat is sweating, but the mountain breeze at night is a little chilly.

Standing on the city wall, letting the cold wind blow, Zhu Long only felt a shock in his spirit, and his mind became more and more sober.

Qin Ming, he was still not very relieved.

Although he teamed up with himself to capture Hua Rong alive, he did not kill a single leader, which means that he did not surrender.

But he must also show a look of complete trust, otherwise he will feel uneasy in his heart, even if he sincerely surrenders, he will end up detached from morality and give birth to two hearts.

Early the next morning, the steward of Hujiazhuang was about to go back, and Zhu Long sent two hundred Zhuang Ding to accompany them, so that they could listen to Zhu Biao's dispatch there and assist in guarding Hujiazhuang.

Before leaving, Zhu Long called the two captains aside, explained various things in detail, and handed the letter to them and brought it to Zhu Biao.

In the conference hall, Zhu Long sat in the main seat, Luan Tingyu, Zhu Hu, and Shi Qian on the left, and Qin Ming and Huang Xin on the right.

Zhu Long's eyes swept over, and a sense of pride was born in his heart.

These people are all their own team to dominate the world, and although there are few people at the moment, they should not be underestimated.

Luan Tingyu and Qin Ming are the two enemies of the world, Zhu Hu is not only his brother, but also a fierce general, and his ability to move the eaves and walk the wall is also a must, and he can play a big role at critical moments.

And that Huang Xin, uh - the nickname is very imposing.

Although the hall is empty for the time being, Zhu Long believes that soon the heroes will gather here.

There is nothing serious to discuss today, just to introduce everyone to get to know each other, which can be regarded as a ceremony to join the gang. Then everyone drank tea and chatted to enhance friendship.

In Zhu Long's plan, there are still many things to do, such as digesting prisoners, reorganizing the army, and regularizing Zhuang Ding

…… However, at present, there is no stable external environment, and rash changes will not affect the battle.

Zhujiazhuang is like a broken ship, many places need to be overhauled, but now the wind and waves are urgent, so we can only repair and deal with this storm first.

In the camp of Liangshan, there was a gloomy cloud, the leaders were depressed, and the minions were frightened and demoralized.

Yesterday, after Qin Ming was captured, he defected to the enemy, Hua Rong was captured, his life and death were unknown, and he lost two generals at once, which was too big a blow to Liangshan!

Song Jiang's face was gloomy.

On the beam, the strong are respected, and the reason why he can suppress the boss Chao Gai is because he has many brothers, and there are several people who are very capable of fighting, and the two most important of them are Qin Ming and Hua Rong.

Attacking Zhujiazhuang, he was defeated one after another, losing more than half, not only his prestige plummeted, but also lost many cronies, and his right to speak on Liangshan in the future will be greatly reduced.

He was dazed and at a loss.

Lin Chong stepped forward and offered a plan: "Brother Song Jiang, Hujiazhuang attacked our army for no reason and robbed Zhu Biao, why don't we attack Hujiazhuang?" I think that Hujiazhuang may not be as easy to defend and difficult to attack as Zhujiazhuang, and there will not be a sinister and cunning guy like Zhulong. When the time comes, Hujiazhuang will ask Zhujiazhuang for help, and we will also ambush halfway, and treat others in their own way. ”

Song Jiang's eyes lit up, good idea!

But soon his expression darkened again, and he said with a wry smile: "Brother's strategy is indeed clever, but our brother's nineteen people went on the expedition, and now most of them have been captured, and only nine of us are left, and Qin Ming's betrayal defected to the enemy, I'm afraid that we can't handle it in a field war!" ”

In the big tent, in addition to Song Jiang himself, there are only eight people: Lin Chong, Li Kui, Mu Hong, Zhang Shun, Ma Lin, Dai Zong, Wang Ying, and Bai Sheng.

"It's simple, I'll go back to Liangshan, and ask Brother Chao Gai to send a few more brothers to support!" Dai Zong stood up and said.

Song Jiang's face was ugly, and he asked Chao Gai for help, which was tantamount to admitting his incompetence.

No, absolutely not!

The prestige he had built up on Liangshan could not be destroyed in one fell swoop.

He lowered his head, his face changed several times, he kept calculating in his heart, and finally raised his head, his eyes swept over everyone's faces, and said in a deep voice: "There is no need to go back to the mountain to ask for help, we can also defeat Zhujiazhuang!" ”
