Chapter 67: Cutting the Robe and Breaking the Righteousness
Under the city of Qingzhou, Hu Yanzhuo led the Qingzhou soldiers to confront the Liangshan army on the opposite side. Thunderbolt Qin Ming said: "Murong old thief, you brutalized the people and killed my whole family, I will take your dog's life today." Murong Yanda stood at the head of the city, and said angrily when he heard this: "What a traitorous thief, you were originally an official of the imperial court, and the country has never failed you, you actually dare to rebel." If I take you down, I will immediately break your body into ten thousand pieces and hang your head for public display. ”
He said to Hu Yanzhuo again: "General Hu Yan, please also take down this anti-thief Qin Ming." Qin Ming held a mace in his hand and galloped over with a horse's belly. Hu Yanzhuo did not show weakness, and quickly rode up with a double whip in hand. The two of them went back and forth, fighting for 50 rounds without winning or losing, seeing that Qin Ming was defeated by Hu Yanzhuo, Hua Rong raised his bow and arrow and shot towards Hu Yanzhuo.
Hu Yanzhuo sensed the danger and lowered his head to dodge, but he was still shot by a sharp arrow and broke his hat. Murong Yanda saw that things were not good, and immediately Mingjin withdrew his troops. "Collect the troops. "Back in the city, after Hu Yanzhuo saw the prefect of Murong, "My lord, I was just trying to capture that Qin Ming, why did you suddenly withdraw your troops at this time?" "The Liangshan thieves are ruthless and cunning, and the general is difficult to defeat with one punch and four hands, I am afraid that the general will make a mistake if I fight like this, so I collected the troops and let the general rest for a while." ”
"My lord, don't worry, that Qin Ming was originally your subordinate, but he rebelled with Hua Rong, this kind of ungrateful villain must not be spared. When I fought him just now, his tricks were out of order, and in a few more turns, I could take him to his horse. Murong Governor said: "The general is so brave, please rest for a while, tomorrow we will go out of the city to kill the enemy." "Okay, let's go. ”
On the second day, the heads of Kong Ming, Zhang Qingsun and Erniang were hung at the head of the city, and Liang Shanjun and others were stunned when they saw it, and Chao Gai couldn't suppress a group of subordinates, so they had to send people to attack the city. Fortunately, the ladder and other equipment had been prepared long ago, and the battle was fought until dark. Since ancient times, the siege battle was the most tragic, and the Liangshan army left 3,000 corpses before retreating in a hurry.
Some people are resting, others are busy, Yang Xiong was originally the executioner of the two courts in Jizhou and the city of Cao Xing, and he was very clear about the matter of this prison, and only after buying a cell boss did he know the location of Song Jiang and others. If you want to rob Song Jiang, you need more manpower, so you send Bai Sheng back to Erlong Mountain to tell Chao Gai to send someone to respond. Chao Gai thought for a moment and said, "You tell Yang Xiong that tomorrow we will be attacking the city, and when you rush out of the east gate, I will send someone to meet you." ”
Bai Sheng took the order and left, but Chao Gai always felt uneasy, today's battle still underestimated the officers and soldiers, there were no catapults and other siege equipment, it was not easy to capture Qingzhou, and many leaders were also injured today, and it was not easy to gather combat strength. What's more, there is also a flower system called Hua Zixu that makes the turtle shrink out of the city, and I don't know what he is thinking.
After dawn, the Liangshan army buried the pot and prepared to attack Qingzhou City again. Hu Yanzhuo and Murong Prefect are also waiting for them to attack, bandits are bandits, they don't know how to siege the city, they only rely on human lives to fill it, and how many people in the Liangshan army are enough to fill it. Just when they were shouting to kill the heavens outside, Shi Qian and Bai Sheng found the prefect's yamen and lit a fire to attract the attention of some officers and soldiers.
And Yang Xiong and Shi Xiu rushed into the prison with 20 good hands to rescue Song Jiang and others, and Song Jiang burst into tears when he saw them. "Brother, I finally hope for you. "Let my brother and the military advisor suffer, let's change into Qingzhou military uniforms and leave quickly while there is chaos, and I'll tell you about the matter on the way." So the group came to the east gate, and the soldiers guarding the gate saw them, "What are you doing?"
Yang Xiong stepped forward quickly, the sword light flashed, and a big head flew up. "Take the gates. "Desperately, Saburo Shixiu slashed more than a dozen soldiers with a short knife. Everyone opened the city gate and began to run out, it was not that Yang Xiong and the others didn't want to get horses, they were really powerless. There are only one hundred and ten war horses in the entire Qingzhou, and they are still looked at as treasures by the Murong Prefect, they can't steal them!
Not far out of the city gate, he met Li Kui and Wu Song and others who answered him, Li Kui handed the horse to Song Gongming, "Brother, go quickly, I'll stop them." Seeing Li Kui and the others break off, this made Song Gongming's heart warm, now is not the time to be hypocritical, it is better to go first, and Wu Yong and Wu Yong each rode a horse and ran wildly. After running for a few miles, he suddenly heard a shout of killing around him, and a flower-shaped banner was erected high.
Jiang Anyang stood on the horse and looked at him condescendingly, "Hei Saburo, where are you going?" Song Jiang was so shocked that he almost fell off the horse, "Hua Zixu, it's you." Wu Song pulled Li Kui and said, "Brother Song Jiang, they should go away, let's go quickly." "I haven't finished killing yet. "Don't kill it, let's go." ”
When I returned to Erlong Mountain, before I entered the village, I heard Li Kui shouting: "Brother Song Jiang, we are back." After entering, what I saw was Chao Gai and others, Li Kui said: "What about Brother Song Jiang?" Chao Gai said: "Didn't you go to pick up Gongming? What about the others?" Wu Song said: "After we stayed and broke off, let Brother Gongming and the military advisor come back on horseback first, accompanied by Yang Xiong and Shi Xiu brothers, and they didn't come back?"
Liu Tang said: "It stands to reason that I should come back, but I didn't get lost halfway." Chao Gai patted the handrail and said angrily to Li Kui and Wu Song: "I asked you to go and pick up Gongming back, that's how you do things?" Li Kui said: "What are you yelling at, maybe Brother Gongming is eating and drinking, I'm looking for him now." Everyone hurriedly pulled him down, "It's getting dark soon, where are you going to find someone now?"
Li Kui played with his temper again, "I don't care, it's wrong for me not to save Brother Gongming, I'll go to find Brother Gongming now." Hearing this, Chao Gai was even more angry in his heart, "Someone came and tied Li Kui to me." Li Kui said angrily: "Why are you tying me up?" "Just rely on the military order like a mountain, and explain that your task has not been completed, and you should be beheaded by law." ”
"The king of heaven is angry, and Tie Niu is also an unintentional mistake, please give him the opportunity to make meritorious contributions. Listening to everyone's pleas, Li Kui didn't pay attention to it at all, and said to himself: "What crime do I have, if it weren't for Brother Gongming's words, I would have cut down your Bird Heavenly King with an axe." "If you commit the following offenses, come on, take it down for me." Li Kui pulled out the two axes on his waist, "Who dare to me?"
Then he pointed at Chao Gai with an axe and scolded: "Let the big guy tell me, what credit do you have to be the master of this Liangshan, and if you want to do it, Brother Song Jiang will do it." Chao Gai was angry when he heard this, "It's the opposite, it's the opposite, what are you waiting for, take him down for me." Li Kui waved his axe to scare everyone away, "Who dare?" "I dare." The red-haired ghost Liu Tang was already behind him, and at this time, he found an opportunity and stabbed it in from behind.
Li Kui didn't expect someone to really make a move, so he turned around and forced Liu Tang back with a roar. I saw Li Kui like a madman, wielding a double axe to kill anyone he saw. The three male brothers of the Ruan clan each picked up a water and fire stick, one hit the head, and the other beat the legs, trying to capture him. Li Kui didn't seem to feel the pain, the power of the Heavenly Killing Star was displayed here, and no one could stop it for a while.
The minions found a noose, put a noose around his neck first, and roared in unison to strangle him to the ground. After Li Kui was dragged for a distance, he swung an axe to cut the lasso, and just as the three heroes of the Ruan family were about to step forward, Hua Rong held a knife on Chao Gai's neck, "Chao Tianwang, let everyone stop." Chao Gai glanced back at Hua Rong, "Brother Hua, you want to oppose me too?"
Hua Rong's face showed sadness, "I don't want my brothers to kill each other, but Brother Song Jiang has a great favor to me, how can I not save it? Chao Gai sighed helplessly and tore off a section of his robe. "From today onwards, Song Jiang and others will be removed from Liangshan and are willing to follow my stay. If you don't want to, I won't force it, and I'll see you in the future, it's friend or foe. ”。
As soon as the words fell, Liang Shanjun fell apart, Hua Rong put down his knife, knelt in front of Chao Gai and kowtowed three times, "Brother is benevolent and righteous, if you have the opportunity to repay your brother's great kindness in the future." Chao Gai turned his head away, not even looking at him. When he came, there were more than 20 generals, and the only ones left were the red-haired ghost Liu Tang, the three Ruan brothers, and Wu Song. Looking at the slightly spacious hall, Chao Gai said to everyone: "How happy and chic our Huangnigang was to rob the birthday gang that day, I didn't expect that a few years of hard work would fall into such a field, and the time was also fateful." ”
Liu Tang said: "Brother, that Song Gongming was originally a small official of the Yamen, and he was the best at telling right and wrong, and now that there is no one to sow discord, the brothers have long been unable to get used to him." Let's hurry back to Liangshanbo, with you to stabilize the situation, this Liangshanbo is still ours. "Okay, let's go. At this moment, Cao Zheng helped Yang Zhi in, "Chao Tianwang, if you want to leave, you have to give us an explanation." ”
