Chapter 54: A Clever Plan in a Wine Bowl
"Listen to my brother!" Yang Shu was very happy, packed up the snake medicine and bamboo basket, and went to the restaurant with Wu Song.
Wu Song didn't go to the Lion Tower, he was too lazy to meet a group of catchers inside, and he wanted to say hello again, which hindered his speech.
Wu Song instructed Xiao Er to make ten catties of wine, and even if the cooked meat or something came up, he still remembered Pan Jinlian in his heart, and he didn't know if Wu Dalang went back, so he gave Xiao Er some broken silver, and asked him to go to Wu Dalang's place to sell roasted cakes and tell him that he would not go home for dinner, if he had already left, he would go to Zishi Street to inform.
The two drank three bowls of wine, Yang Shu was a cheerful person, and immediately asked: "Brother, if you have something to tell the younger brother to do, say it quickly, otherwise the younger brother will have no taste for dinner, and he always has something in his heart." ”
"Okay!" Wu Song asked, "Do you bite a poisonous snake when it sees a horse?"
"Not necessarily, the horse will bite it if it is alarmed, but whenever the horse sees a poisonous snake, it will be frightened and neigh, and then run away, and it may not be able to bite it, but the man's horse is a little more stupid!"
Wu Song laughed when he heard this, and then said: "This kind of poisonous snake, if you want to catch about a hundred, how long will it take?"
"It's early spring, the ice and snow are melting, and the snakes are also coming out of the hole to feed, it's very simple to catch, it's not a villain boasting, it only takes one night to catch a hundred poisonous snakes!"
"Okay, you can catch a hundred for me tonight!" Wu Song paused and asked, "Where do you stay?"
"Don't hide it from my brother, what I just said is actually a little true, I came to Yanggu County, and when I got to the gambling house, my hands were very poor, and I lost all the money, so I had to sleep in the mountain temple at night!"
"Well, after eating, you go with me, I'll give you a place to live, if you like it, it's no problem to live for three or five years, and I didn't bring a lot of silver out today, give ten taels of silver to the gambling house and turn it over!"
Yang Shu was very happy, and he didn't shirk, took ten taels of silver, put it in his arms, and after the two had eaten, Wu Song took him straight to Chenjiazhuang.
At this time, it was already unitary time, the lights in Chenjiazhuang were brilliant, Chen Taigong and his son were drinking with Chen Qing and more than ten other hunters, and everyone was very happy to see Wu Song come in.
Wu Song said with a smile: "Taigong Chen, this is my new brother, named Yang Shu, who wants to live in Guizhuang for a few days!"
"Brother Yang lives here, although the small village is not big, but there is no problem in supporting the brother for three or two years!" After Chen Ergou was introduced to the work by Wu Song, he was recognized by Mrs. Chen, and he already had the demeanor of a young owner in Chenjiazhuang.
Yang Shu was very happy to hear this, and respected Wu Song even more, everyone was very happy to drink wine and eat meat, Chen Ergou was very happy after a few bowls of wine, and said with a smile:
"Dutou, before you came, everyone was discussing how to attack Leopard Head Mountain, with your martial arts, and everyone working together, it was not difficult to capture that gang of thieves, but everyone didn't know how to do kung fu immediately, so they were a little embarrassed......."
Yang Shu heard it in his ears, knew it in his heart, and understood Wu Song's purpose for asking him to catch the snake, he was a shrewd person, although he guessed it, he didn't speak, he just cared about drinking wine and eating meat.
Wu Song was a little unhappy in his heart: "The attack on Leopard Head Mountain, didn't it mean that it would be commanded by me, why did it become a matter of them discussing the plan now, I understand, Chen Ergou and others naturally obeyed me, but Chen Qing and other hunters and Zhuang Ke, seeing that I didn't come for two days, thought that I was like the officers and soldiers of the county government, okay, I'll see if you have any good plans." ”
Wu Song remained silent and said indifferently: "Brother Chen Qing naturally thought of a clever plan to break the enemy. ”
Chen Qing smiled slightly, and did not speak, Chen Ergou was drunk, and he didn't look at Wu Song's face, and continued to say loudly: "Yes, Brother Chen Qing once read the ancient art of war, and thought of a clever plan, Wudu Tou, you are a martial artist, I admire you so much, if you can guess what kind of clever plan Brother Chen Qing is thinking, it is estimated that they will not dare to snort in front of you from now on!"
"Ergou!" Mrs. Chen glared at Chen Ergou fiercely, Chen Ergou immediately shut up and sat down obediently, but Wu Song smiled slightly, thinking: "Chen Ergou has made things clear, okay, I will tell you the plan in Chen Qing's heart, and see if you are convinced by me." ”
Wu Song's idea was very simple, Chen Ergou said that Chen Qing had read a few military books, and then came up with a plan, all ancient wars, famous, must be attacked with fire, at that time, productivity was low, there was no other way to speak, he naturally started to think from the fire attack.
"The bandits of Leopard Head Mountain are hiding on the mountain, if they set fire to the bottom of the mountain, they will definitely have nowhere to escape, and they don't have to think about whether to ride a horse or not, Chen Qing must have used this trick!"
Wu Song was sure in his heart, and said with a slight smile: "The method that Brother Chen Qing thought of can naturally annihilate the thieves in one fell swoop, but there are three things that are wrong!"
"Dutou hasn't listened to my plan yet, how can I know that there are three things wrong?" Chen Qing's face changed slightly.
"Haha, Brother Chen Qing, let's play a little trick, you write your method in the wine bowl, I also write the guessed method in the wine bowl, pour rice wine, everyone exchange, drink the wine, and then see what is written on it, wouldn't it be wonderful!"
"Okay!" Chen Qing immediately took out the dagger and engraved three words in the wine bowl, Wu Song also used the dagger to engrave two words in the wine bowl, the two exchanged wine bowls, drank all the wine in the bowl in one gulp, looked down, and laughed, Chen Qing immediately knelt down and said loudly:
"Wudutou, Chen Qing is served!"
Chen Ergou and the hunters took two bowls to take a look, only to see that one was engraved with "fire attack" and the other was engraved with "burn with fire", in fact, the meaning was the same, and everyone laughed along.
"Dutou, you said that there are three things wrong with this plan, please make it clear, my brother didn't expect it!" Chen Qing said sincerely.
"First, indiscriminately kill innocents, in addition to thieves on the mountain, there must be women they snatched back!"
"Yes, that's true!" Chen Qing said with his head bowed.
"Second, cut off your livelihood and burn the mountain, where will you hunters hunt in the future!"
Chen Qing was so frightened that his face was sweating, and he secretly looked at the group of hunters, but fortunately, everyone did not have a look of reproach.
"Third, it's not a hero's doing! We must subdue the thieves, be a clear sword and a gun, and fight hard with them, in order to show our ability, and the heroes on the rivers and lakes will also give a thumbs up and say 'heroes'!"
When Chen Qing heard the third article, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to sweat, he was terrified in his heart, and said in a trembling voice: "All the heads have taught us a lesson, but they are all horse soldiers, and we don't know how to ride horses, so what can we do?"
"Brother Chen Qing don't have to worry, I have my own clever plan, let their horses leave obediently, and then we will fight with them on the ground, which is the time for our brothers to show their skills!"
When everyone heard this, their blood was boiling, and Chen Qing said proudly: "Dutou, when can we attack Leopard Head Mountain!"
"Three days later!" Wu Song also said proudly.
