The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 333 Rearing the Arms for War
But when Mu Xuzheng was talking about the arrangement for him with Yang Zhi, he saw Zhu Gui hurried into the store, came to the table for several people, and said anxiously,

"Brother, when all of us cavalrymen were practicing riding nearby, they were suddenly attacked. More than [-] brothers were killed or injured, and a dozen good horses were taken away."

Mu Xu was furious when he heard the words, and hurriedly asked, "Who did it?"

Zhu Gui replied, "My little brother has sent someone to find out, it was Zhu Biao from Dulonggang Zhujiazhuang who did it."

"This thief, dare you be so bold! Brother, don't let this bird man go." Ruan Xiaoqi jumped out without waiting for Mu Xu to express his opinion.

Mu Xu waved his hand to signal Ruan Xiaoqi to stop, and asked Zhu Guidao, "Zhujiazhuang is some distance away from Liangshan, and we have no grievances or enmities with us, so why did Zhu Biao come here and dare to act like this?"

Zhu Gui explained, "My brother doesn't know, but Dulonggang covers an area of ​​more than three hundred miles. There are three hills in front of the hill, and there are three villages. The middle is Zhujiazhuang, the west is Hujiazhuang, and the east is Lijiazhuang. Zhujiazhuang is the most powerful, and it loves to bully kindness the most on weekdays."

Having said that, he looked at Mu Xu with a look of embarrassment on his face, gritted his teeth and said,
"Ever since my elder brother came to the mountain and led all his brothers to do justice for the heavens, those three villages were afraid that we would come to borrow food, so they formed an alliance, each other's horns, and always guarded against us. That's all, Zhujiazhuang Zhu Chaofeng's owner The third son, relying on his high martial arts skills, also uttered big words, saying that sooner or later we will trample our Liangshan Po, and arrest brother to go to the Yamen to ask for rewards, I think this time he came here on purpose to cause trouble."

Mu Xu secretly said, "I was worried that I had no excuse to beat you, but you guys gave me an excuse to use force. It's sleepy and sent me a pillow."

At that moment Mu Xu sneered, got up and told Zhu Gui, "Pass on my order, let everyone come to Juyi Hall to discuss matters."

After finishing speaking, he took a few people back to the cottage, and when they arrived at the Juyi Hall, the leaders had already sat down. Mu Xu first introduced Yang Zhi solemnly, and after accepting him as the commander of the battalion, he explained the matter.

After everyone in the hall heard this, they immediately clamored, saying that they wanted to teach Zhujiazhuang a lesson. Mu Xu raised his hand to keep everyone quiet, and said loudly,

"I want to give them a good look, but everything needs to be decided before moving. If you have any suggestions, you can speak freely!"

Zhu Wudang spoke first, "I don't know which brother knows the details of this Zhujiazhuang, please explain clearly."

Zhu Gui stood up and repeated what Mu Xu said earlier, and Du Qian then added,
"The strength of those three families should not be underestimated, and they can easily attract ten to twenty thousand customers. Among them, Zhu's family is the most heroic, and the head of the family is called Zhu Chaofeng. He has three sons, named Zhu's Sanjie, the eldest son Zhu Long, The second son Zhu Hu, the third son Zhu Biao. There is also a teacher named Tie Bang Luan Tingyu.

There is a Hu family village in the west, the owner of the village is Taigong Hu, and there is a son called Fei Tianhu Hu Cheng, who is also very good.There is only one daughter who is the most heroic, named Yizhang Qinghu Sanniang, who is good at using two sun and moon swords, and her immediate kung fu is excellent.

In Lijiazhuang in the east, the name of the owner is Li Ying, the sky-beating eagle. He can make a steel gun with a muddy iron point, and five flying knives hidden in his back. "

After hearing Du Qian's words, everyone was shocked, apparently they did not expect that the strength of those three families was so strong.Seeing this situation, Mu Xu deliberately smiled and said,

"As the saying goes, the number of soldiers is good but not large, so what's the point of doubling their number? It's just used to train soldiers in our cottage. Besides, no matter how powerful Luan Tingyu and others are, they can still beat Master Lu and Instructor Lin. Do you want to cooperate with the new Yang?"

When everyone heard that this was the truth, they immediately let go of their hearts, and Zhu Wu also echoed, "What brother said is not bad, those dealers seem to have a large number of people, but in the end they are nothing more than a mob. From Xiaoke's point of view, if you want to It's not hard to break them."

Mu Xu already had a countermeasure in mind, but in order to give Zhu Wu a boost, he still pretended to ask, "What good strategy does the military master have, please explain it carefully?"

Zhu Wu got up and gave a salute to everyone, and then said eloquently, "Since the three villages jointly protect each other, why should we attack the strongest Zhujiazhuang? We only need to start from the other two. If Zhuang comes to rescue, we will attack halfway. If not, then the alliance of the three families will exist in name only, so what is there to be afraid of?"

Mu Xu smiled in satisfaction. Zhu Wu thought of going with him. When he was watching Water Margin, he couldn't figure it out. When Song Jiang attacked Zhujiazhuang three times, he obviously only needed a simple strategy of besieging Wei and saving Zhao.

But he was lucky, insisting on leading troops to attack Zhujiazhuang, which is the easiest to defend and difficult to attack, and the terrain is dangerous, so that the loss of soldiers and generals is completely out of his mind.

Seeing Mu Xu nodding his head, Zhu Wu said again, "As for which family to attack first, I need brother to tell me."

Mu Xu said with confidence, "Of course it's Hu's village. Zhu Biao, who robbed our horse this time, has a marriage contract with that ten-foot-old Qing Hu Sanniang, so I'm not afraid that he won't come to rescue him!"

Ruan Xiaoqi clapped his hands and laughed, "It's wonderful, it's wonderful. If you don't dare to come to rescue me, Zhu Biao, we'll snatch that Hu Sanniang, make my brother a wife in the village, and make that kid a green-headed turtle!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone immediately burst into laughter, and the previous tense atmosphere was swept away.

After everyone had laughed, Mu Xu immediately said decisively, "Okay, all brothers listen to the order!"

Everyone stood up and agreed, and Mu Xu immediately ordered, "Coach Lin, you command the two battalions of cavalry to go first, and when you arrive at Hu's village, surround the main roads and make sure they don't spread the news."

Lin Chong took the order to go, and Mu Xu looked at Ruan Xiaoer again, "Erlang, you lead the water army to guard the camp and guard against the officers and soldiers of Yuncheng County, and you must not be negligent!"

Although Ruan Xiaoer felt that he was not reconciled to not being able to go to the expedition, he also knew that he had a great responsibility, so he solemnly promised, "Don't worry, brother, if there is something wrong with the cottage, please behead my head!"

"With Erlang here, I'll have nothing to worry about." Mu Xu praised, and left Du Qian to take charge of the affairs of the cottage, and then said seriously,
"The rest of the army will prepare for the battle, and the whole army will pull out of the camp at a quarter o'clock tomorrow. This is our battle of Liangshan Liwei, and nothing will be lost. If anyone refuses to obey the military order, the military law will follow!"

"Here!"

Coming out of the Juyi hall, Mu Xu returned to his residence in the back mountain. As soon as Fang entered the yard, he heard a pleasant sound of the piano. Sleeping soundly on the couch, the girl Yicui made tea for them.

Mu Xu listened at the door for a long time, but it was Yi Cuishuai who spotted him first. Just as he was about to salute him, Mu Xu stopped him with his eyes. It wasn't until the piano music stopped that Li Shishi raised his head inadvertently that he noticed Mu Xu I don't know when it came.

She hurriedly got up to greet her, and said in a reproachful voice, "Why don't you come in when the officials are here, why are you standing at the door and eavesdropping?"

Mu Xu walked into the room, took the teacup Yicui handed over, put it back on the table, and replied, "Master, the piano sound is too beautiful, so I was distracted for a while."

While talking, Mu Xu came to the bedside, looked down at Zhao Yuannu's situation, saw her face was flushed, and quickly tested the temperature of her forehead with her hand, and was relieved when she found that she didn't have a fever.

Li Shishi was afraid that Mu Xu would be worried, so he comforted him softly, "Sister Yuan is fine, the officials don't need to worry about it."

Mu Xu covered Zhao Yuannu with a thin quilt, and whispered, "Let Yuannu rest well, let's talk outside, I have something to tell you."

When the two came to the outside room, Mu Xu told about his going to war. After hearing this, Master Li frowned and said, "Isn't it good for us to live a peaceful life on the mountain? Why do we always have to fight and kill?"

"Now I have the expectations of tens of thousands of people in Liangshan. I can only advance but not retreat. I dare not slack off. Besides, even if we want to live in peace, how can others allow it? Just like this time, it is clearly the child of the Zhu family If I take the initiative to make trouble, if I show weakness, they will have to push forward."

Holding Li Shishi's catkin, Mu Xu explained carefully.

Li Shishi was silent for a while, then threw his tender body into Mu Xu's arms, raised his head and said, "Officers do important things, and I can't help you much. I can only pray at home day and night, and the officials will return safely and victorious!"

"Okay, we will not disappoint Master. But before that, we still have business to do." Amidst the beauty's coquettish voice, Mu Xu picked her up and walked towards the next bedroom.
