Dongping Mansion, the prefect's yamen.

Prefect Cheng Wanli looked at the letter in his hand, his face was confused, and he said to a handsome and dashing young military general in front of the desk: "Dong Dujian, this official invited you here because he encountered a very interesting thing. ”

"Dong Dujian" is the "Merry Twin Spear General" Dong Ping, wearing silver frost iron armor, covered with a cyan unicorn battle jacket, and wearing a phoenix wing helmet, he is the only person in the Water Margin who is more sassy than Lu Fang Guo Sheng.

"It must be a very rare thing for a well-informed adult to say that!" Dong Ping looked flattering.

He is so sycophant, not only because the other party is the top boss, but more importantly, Governor Chen has a beautiful daughter who has been coveted for a long time.

Cheng Wanli smiled, holding a goatee, knowing Dong Ping's thoughts well.

This Dong Ping has asked matchmakers to come to the door many times to ask for marriage, but he has refused.

There are two reasons, one is that Dong Ping's reputation is not very good, although he has courage, but Meng Lang is frivolous and ambitious, just like Lu Bu of the Three Kingdoms.

Second, Dong Ping is just a martial artist. The Great Song Dynasty valued literature over martial arts, and most of the civil servants looked down on military generals, and the same was true for Cheng Wanli. He was not born in the imperial examination, but Mr. Menguan in Tong Guan's mansion, and he was appreciated by Tong Guan and became this prefect.

For the sake of his own future, of course, he has to take care of Tong Guan, I heard that Tong Guan has a nephew who is unmarried, so he wants to marry his daughter to Tong Guan's nephew.

Dong Ping? Hehe, it's destined to be just wishful thinking.

Thinking like this in his heart, Cheng Wanli couldn't see it on his face at all, and said with a smile: "Have you ever seen the robbers report to the government?" ”

"How can there be such robbers?" Dong Ping was stunned for a moment and smiled dumbly.

"Look at this!" Cheng Wanli handed the denunciation letter to Dong Ping.

Dong Ping took it, looked at it carefully, looked up and asked, "Zhujiazhuang harbors court criminals?" My lord, who wrote this? ”

"The two thieves from Liangshan, pretending to be good citizens, came to denounce them. After being interrogated by me, he admitted that he was sent by Liangshan. ”

Dong Ping smiled, "This Liangshan is really good, if the attack on Zhujiazhuang fails, he will come to sue the official, and they can figure it out!" Adults don't have to pay attention. ”

"So there's still this? The more than 20 people including Lin Chong and Qin Ming mentioned in the denunciation letter are really in Zhujiazhuang now? ”

"These people were originally in Liangshan, but now they must have been arrested by Zhujiazhuang, and Liangshan came up with this plan to kill people with a knife."

Cheng Wanli sneered, "These thieves are simply unsightly, and they treat this mansion as a three-year-old child. But the stakes are very high, and the government can't ignore it, you go and arrest the father and son of the Zhu family, I will ask the reason, and then make a decision! ”

Dong Ping felt a burst of contempt in his heart, this dog official knew that the Zhu family was not guilty, but he asked him to arrest him, it was nothing more than to extort a sum of money.

His face was very respectful and said, "Yes!" The lower official took people to arrest the father and son of the Zhu family. ”

Coming out of the yamen, he ordered 2,000 people and went straight to Zhujiazhuang.

Shi Xiu's news interrupted Zhu Long's plan, and he originally wanted to go far away and go to Erlong Mountain in Qingzhou to see if he could subdue the three fierce generals there - Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, and Yang Zhi.

Even if you can't be included in the command, it's good to make friends, especially Lu Zhishen, who is a friend worth making.

How do you know that you have encountered this kind of thing, fortunately you haven't gone out yet, otherwise you don't know what it will become.

He sent someone to tell Qin Ming to suspend military training and strengthen his vigilance. Then he came to Zhu Hu's house, but there was no one to see, so he asked the servant to look for it.

After a while, Zhu Hu came.

"You're gone as soon as you come back, where did you go?" Zhu Long frowned.

Zhu Hu said with a smile: "It's not time to go to Master Luan's place and ask him for martial arts." ”

Zhu Long looked him up and down, "How are you learning?" ”

"Do you want to try it?" I wish the tiger a leap to try.

Zhu Long came to be interested, "Yo he, the guts are fat!" Let's go, try it! ”

A quarter of an hour later, Zhu Hu was discouraged, depressed, and said in frustration: "It seems that I haven't worked hard enough, I have to be more diligent!" ”

Zhu Long said earnestly: "Second brother, there are many kinds of martial arts in this world, such as the hero of Lu Xiang who is good at personal assassination; Some people can ride a thousand single-handedly; There are people wearing heavy armor and walking like flying, like humanoid beasts; There are also people who wear through the yang in a hundred steps, and the arrows are not missing...... Which one do you study? ”

"The ancient fierce generals are all horsemen, of course I want to learn kung fu on horses."

"Hmm!" Zhu Long nodded, "You have time to ask Captain Sun for advice, he has superb riding skills and excellent archery skills." ”

"I want you to be a fierce general, not just a reckless man who is brave enough to have time to read more military books and battle strategies. There are 200 cavalry in the guard battalion, which is the elite of my Zhujiazhuang, I will hand it over to you, I hope you will train well, don't let me down. ”

Zhu Hu was very excited, "Thank you, big brother, for trusting me, I will definitely not let you down!" ”

After speaking, he was about to leave, but was stopped by Zhu Long, "Where are you going?" ”

"Go to the cavalry!"

Zhu Long's head was full of black lines, "You also have to wait for me to take you!" Forget it, don't go yet, come with me to the council hall for a meeting. ”

"What's the meeting?"

"Let's go, let's go, don't make everyone wait for a long time!"

In the meeting hall, except for Zhu Biao and Qin Ming from the front and back villages, the rest of the principal and deputy battalion captains in Zhuangzi came.

Everyone wondered why the senior officials suddenly summoned everyone to a meeting, and whether something important had happened.

Everyone inquired about each other, but they didn't know, and Shi Xiu, the only one who knew, just smiled and didn't speak.

Soon, Zhu Long and Zhu Hu came and sat down in their seats, looking a little serious, "I'm sorry, I've kept you waiting." Brother Shi, tell us about the situation! ”

Shi Xiu told everyone the information briefly, and everyone was amused by Liang Shan's approach, but no one laughed, but they all looked solemn.

They are all people who can't see the light, except for a few people from Zhujiazhuang, which one of them is not a criminal in the court.

Liang Shan is here, so he can naturally fight back.

But what about the imperial army?

If they fight back, they will definitely be charged with rebellion!

However, the father and son of the Zhu family are innocent and good citizens!

Will the officials shelter them?

Except for Shi Xiu, no one else here knows.

"Rest assured, what about the officers and soldiers! Big deal, I'll take everyone to the grass together! Zhu Long said generously.

Everyone is very moved, this is to protect themselves with their lives!

"I summoned everyone here, first, to ask everyone to prepare for battle, and second, to make suggestions together, think about what to do?"

Luan Tingyu was the first to speak: "Let the Qin Ming brothers resist them first, and we will ambush them on their way to come, and when they return from exhaustion, we will defeat them in one fell swoop!" ”

"My prisoner camp is crowded, so I can carry more flags, bluff, and confuse the enemy." Chen Shou stood up and said, during this time, he trained the captives to be obedient, not only selected a reserve team of 1,000 people, but also formed a carpentry team, a bricklayer team, a blacksmith team, and a carpenter team, responsible for the production of shields, spears, knives, arrows and other weapons and equipment, and at the same time repaired houses, bridges and paved roads, and the burden that originally made Zhu Long anxious became free labor.

What he did was not new, and normal people could think of it, and even had better ideas. But it is very difficult to really organize and not cause chaos, and it requires strong organizational skills.

Chen Shou proved his ability to Zhu Long, and Zhu Long also admired him more and more.
