"Forbidden sailing?"

Song Jiangduan sat directly above the Zhongyi Hall, and there was no expression on his dark face.

The many heroes sitting on both sides looked at each other, and they didn't seem to understand why the ban was on.

Black Whirlwind Li Kui saw that the hall was quiet, and suddenly stared at the big eyes like copper bells, got up suddenly, raised the two plate axes in his hands, and shouted in a thick voice: "I'm afraid that he will do something, Zhao Bufan's son of a bitch must be scared in his heart, so he will make some crooked means to scare us, it is better to let me bring some brothers to kill him, and cut off his Zhao Bufan's head to give the brothers wine!"

As soon as these words came out, Wang Huan, Zhou Ang, and Han Cunbao, who were originally generals of the imperial court, all frowned, and Sun Li and others secretly pouted with disdain, but everyone knew that he was savage and murderous by nature, and he never used his brain when he spoke and did things, so he didn't argue with him.

Song Jiang looked very calm, but he was restless in his heart, and when he heard his reckless voice, he immediately shouted: "Brother Li Kui is not going to talk nonsense, and go back to your place and sit down first, and it is not too late to make arrangements when we discuss the results!"

"Discussion, discussion, fart! All the brothers have been sitting and discussing like this for several days, but have they ever discussed a bird?" Li Kui cursed angrily, and walked directly towards the door. "There's no need to discuss it anymore, I'll take my brothers down the mountain and take the head of Zhao Bufan's house to present to Brother Song Jiang!"

Song Jiang was furious on the spot.

"Li Kui, if you dare to come nonsense again, don't blame me for being ruthless in military law as a brother!"

Li Kui has always listened to Song Jiang's call, he will do whatever Song Jiang asks him to do, he will kill whoever he wants, it can be said that he is loyal to Song Jiang, and only Song Jiang can suppress him, seeing that Song Jiang is really angry, Li Kui is also a little flustered, muttered and stopped, and reluctantly returned to his seat.

Song Jiang didn't reprimand him more, turned to look at Wu Yong, smiled and asked, "What does the military advisor think the officers and soldiers are trying to block the river?"

Wu Yong has never been in charge of Li Kui, and has always been figuring out the intentions of the officers and soldiers, but unfortunately there is no result, seeing Song Jiang asking, he slowly shook his head: "Zhao Bufan should know that we have a lot of grain in Liangshan, and this move should not just want to besiege us, but it is difficult to tell what the specific reason is, it is better to respond to all changes with the same first, and it will be known after a while, and such a blockade will cut off many river shipping routes, causing huge losses to the imperial court, it will never last long, we have enough food, wine and meat, don't worry too much!"

As soon as the words fell, another person rushed in from outside the hall, it was Duan Jingzhu, one of the small leaders of the Liangshan Intelligence Battalion.

This period of Jingzhu's hair is yellow and red, the beard is also yellow, skinny and thick, so he was nicknamed the Golden Retriever, he was originally a native of Zhuozhou, Liao State, or a mixed-race child, just because he heard those smuggling dealers talk about the name of Liangshan Song Jiang in the Great Song Dynasty all the year round, so he admired it very much, so he went to Jin to steal a BMW of the Yan family, called the jade lion of the night, and planned to use this BMW as capital to defect to Song Jiang.

I thought that I was about to reach Liangshan, but when I passed by Zengtou City, I was robbed of a BMW by the Zeng family, which caused Liangshan to send troops to attack Zengtou City, and the former owner of the village, Chao Gai, was also ambushed when attacking Zengtou City, and was inexplicably killed by a poisoned arrow shot in the dense forest. After that, Song Jiang became the owner of the village, and Duan Jingzhu also became one of the leaders of the Liangshan Intelligence Battalion.

At this moment, he rushed into the Zhongyi Hall, knelt directly next to Bai Sheng, and shouted anxiously: "Brother Song Jiang, the junior brother has found out where Brother Dai Zong and them are, and now they are all locked up in the prison of Shouzhang County, not only Brother Dai Zong, but also the two brothers Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun, and even the eight leaders in charge of the four major hotels are all locked up there!"

In an instant, there was a frying in the Zhongyi Hall, not only Li Kui was waving an axe and shouting, but many others stood up excitedly, Sun Li was even more anxious, that Sun Xin was his own brother, and Gu's sister-in-law was also his brother-in-law, both of them were arrested by officers and soldiers, how could he not panic?

In addition, there are many people who have a deep relationship with the captured heroes, either as brothers, or in good relationships, or out of righteous indignation, shouting and killing for a while, and the entire Zhongyi Hall is completely chaotic and quarrelsome.

Song Jiang actually didn't want to take the initiative in his heart, because he had heard of Zhao Bufan's prestige, which was a real name in northern Xinjiang, but Liangshan's power was based on brothers taking care of each other, if he didn't save the captured brothers, it would shake the fundamentals, and it would be difficult to convince the public in the future.

After a brief weighing, Song Jiang quickly made a choice, stood up suddenly, and shouted righteously: "The captured brothers can't help but be saved, all the brothers will go back and prepare for the time being, and tomorrow morning they will send troops to the Beishan Dry Village Point, take a boat to the north, and go straight to Shouzhang!"

"Yes!!" all the heroes responded in unison.

............

In the evening of the next day, Zhao Bufan was sitting at the foot of the city wall and eating with the generals, when he was talking and laughing, there was a commotion in the city gate passage not far away, he couldn't help but look up, and before he could see what was happening, a team of sentry riders rushed out of the city gate passage, and then those sergeants pointed at him and shouted.

"General Zhao is over there, go quickly!"

It turned out that the sentinel who was out to investigate had returned.

Zhao Bufan smiled, didn't care so much, calmly picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, and the others will continue to eat with peace of mind.

After a few breaths, Yu Hou, the leader of the sentry cavalry, rushed to the front in a hurry, and shouted anxiously: "Lord Zhao, the Liangshan bandits docked in the north of Liangshan by boat at noon today, and are hurrying to the direction of my Shouzhang, and it is expected to arrive as soon as tomorrow afternoon, with about 20,000 people!"

"Hmm!" Zhao Bufan replied and continued to swallow the rice in the bowl.

The sentry seemed to be afraid that he didn't hear clearly, so he raised his voice anxiously and shouted, "Lord Zhao, the Liangshan bandits have come over!"

His voice was heard by many soldiers around him, and they all stopped eating and looked over from afar with dishes and chopsticks.

Zhao Bufan, who was calmly swallowing the food, frowned, then raised his head, and scolded angrily: "If you call here, you will fight it, it's not a big deal, the people of the Liao country are not afraid of coming, and they are afraid that a few of his thieves will come over? Looking at the way your pants are about to fall off, I thought it was 100,000 Liao troops coming, but it was just 20,000 rabble, what are you anxious about? Quickly take the brothers down to eat, rest when you should rest, sleep when you should sleep!"

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding soldiers laughed, and the tension instantly collapsed, and they began to eat with laughter and laughter again.

Lu Zhishen even grabbed the leg of mutton with one hand and nibbled on it, while laughing and shouting: "Brothers, the time for meritorious service has come, everyone is full of food and drink, sleep well, and when the Liangshan bandits come, the Sprinkle family will take you to kill him without leaving a piece of armor!"

The generals also followed suit, and they all released bold words, which made the surroundings lively.

Zhao Bufan's confident attitude has obviously resolved the psychological pressure brought by 20,000 bandits to everyone.

In fact, his heart is far less relaxed than it appears, and while eating, his heart is also measuring quickly.

According to Wen Huanzhang's plan, now is not the time for a decisive battle, and if you fight head-on, the losses will be very large, and there are many capable people in Liangshan, and in the past few years, there have been a lot of elite soldiers, and my 5,000 people have beaten him with 20,000 people, the risk is really a bit big, not to mention that they have not poured out!

No, I can't fight them in the field for the time being, even if I really win these 20,000 people, I don't have the strength to conquer Liangshan again, so I still defend Shouzhang first, and use the advantage of city defense to consume his elite, which should be the best choice at present. The only thing I'm afraid of is that Liangshan will trap me here as a Jedi, and if they besiege the city for a long time, it will be a bit of trouble......

Zhao Bufan thought about these in his heart, and unconsciously finished eating the rice in the bowl, because he was very worried, so he was not in the mood to continue eating, but he didn't show this emotion, just smiled and clapped his hands, and put down the dishes and chopsticks as if nothing happened.

"You continue to eat, I'll go for a walk on the city wall, this stomach is not very comfortable!"

The generals laughed and ignored him.

Coming to the city wall alone, Zhao Bufan walked slowly in the evening spring breeze, his eyes were always looking at the endless wilderness in the distance, he was observing the terrain around the city, he wanted to keep every hill and every slope in mind, and his years of military career told him that details often determine the success or failure of a battle.

Suddenly, Hu Sanniang's footsteps came from behind him, accompanied by the pair of jade hands, which grabbed the two corners of the cloak and gently tied them to Zhao Bufan's shoulders.

"Brother Fanfan, are you worried about something?"

"How do you tell?"

"I have watched every look of you very carefully!" Hu Sanniang gently brushed away the hair that was blown away by the wind, and looked at his side face with a stupid gaze.

Zhao Bufan slowly walked to the edge of the city wall, holding the thick battlements with both hands, looking into the distance, and took a deep breath.

"You're always so direct!"

"I like you, why are you hiding it, the laws of the Great Song Dynasty don't stipulate that I can't like you, and it doesn't stipulate that you can't take concubines!" Hu Sanniang followed and walked to him, standing quietly, her slim crimson armor outlining her charming figure. "What's more, Zhu Lian has never objected to me following you!"

Zhao Bufan sighed faintly.

"If your fiery heart can give Zhu Biao, he will definitely shout excitedly!"

Hu Sanniang's smooth forehead wrinkled because of these words. "I grew up with Third Brother Zhu since I was a child, I just treat him as an elder brother, you are the person I like, I have always liked you since I met you back then!"

"Everyone has the throbbing of teenagers, but how many can be successful in the world?"

Hearing this, Hu Sanniang suddenly smiled shyly: "Where can I care if others succeed or not, I just want to follow you all the time, I want to watch you all the time, who made you jump on the horse that year to save me? Who made you a big hero?"

Recalling that year, Zhao Bufan also couldn't help but smile slightly.

"Okay, then let's do it all over again, I promise not to save you this time, be a bear, okay?"

"Smack!" Hu Sanniang slapped his shoulder angrily, and said angrily: "Don't you talk without caring about other people's feelings?"

Zhao Bufan didn't answer again, just turned around with a smile, looked at her eyes quietly, and saw her face shyly turned away.

"What are you staring at me for?"

"Actually, I swore on the land of your Hujiazhuang back then, and I said that one day, I will come back!"

"You ......" Hu Sanniang raised her head in shock, this was the first time she knew this secret, and she was the only one who knew this secret except Lu Zhishen.

Zhao Bufan took another step and walked past her gently.

"You are the first woman who has touched my heart, but when I saw you again, my affection made me feel ashamed, so I didn't plan to tell you, or even tell anyone, and it is precisely because I have been attracted to you that I have always hoped that you can choose a more suitable person, because I have too many things to do, and I already owe Lian'er a lot, and I don't want to owe more people. But I have to take a concubine now, I don't have a choice, willing or unwilling, you decide for yourself!"

"Of course I would like to ......"

Hu Sanniang's words hadn't been finished yet, and Zhao Bufan, who was gradually moving away, was already the first to speak.

"Don't rush to tell me, think about it again!"

"Don't think about it, I'm willing!" Hu Sanniang looked at the back that was gradually moving away, and shouted out the thoughts in her heart, compared to Zhu Lian's subtlety and rationality, her feelings were completely filled with heat, straightforward and desperate......

The war is coming, this short episode did not affect Zhao Bufan's mood, his mind is still single-mindedly in the next vicious battle, the soldiers who have been boiling in northern Xinjiang all the year round are also familiar with the way, those rolling stones and wood, hot oil and boiling water, arrows and bows and crossbows are all stacked in the most efficient position, they don't need too much supervision at all, they can consciously pay attention to every detail, this is also the spirit that Zhao Bufan has instilled in them for many years, details determine success or failure!

In the afternoon of the next day, 20,000 Liangshan bandits slowly arrived outside Shouzhang City, standing at the head of the city and looking at it, the dense figures simply made people's scalps tingle.

Zhao Bufan, who was standing on the city tower, was no longer dressed in the clothes of the past, but changed into the majestic White Tiger Swallowing Cloud Armor, put on a golden dragon pattern robe, the double dragon bow was also tied to his back, and there was a gorgeous sword hanging on his waist.

However, Tang Zhixian, who was standing next to him, was not as calm as him, staring at the huge Liangshan bandits outside the city, and seeing the murderous dozens of phalanxes slowly coming from a distance, his forehead was constantly breaking out in cold sweat, his teeth chattered, and his legs were weak in disobedience.

Seeing that he was about to lose his position, Zhao Bufan suddenly reached out and grabbed his collar and picked it up directly, his tone full of anger.

"You are the head of a county, even if you are scared to pee, then you must stand firm for me, and make a good appearance!"

"Big big ...... My lord, the thieves are powerful...... The momentum is great, I am ...... Our people...... There are too few people, otherwise don't fight, ...... first Let's go first!" "Tang Zhixian is obviously already a master of the six gods, and the whole person is collapsed in the fear of death.

Zhao Bufan on the battlefield was completely different from usual, seeing his appearance, he was really angry, he suddenly raised his legs, kicked him out more than two feet away, and even threw the official hat on his head and flew out.

"Waste! A dignified seven-foot man, the parents and officials of the common people, he was scared like this before the battle began, and he took the lead in causing trouble to the hearts of the army, and your sage books have been read to the ass? These days, whenever you have time, you are selling your knowledge in front of Lao Tzu, I still think you have great ability, and you were the one who coaxed Confucius when he traveled around the world? With a late-born junior like you, you are not afraid to revive your son?"
