The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 382

Mu Xu checked the map carefully. Zengtou City is located in Lingzhou, with Qingzhou in the south and Dongping Mansion in the northeast.Due to the lack of soldiers in Lingzhou, he never paid much attention to the government of Lingzhou from the beginning, and Qingzhou was attacking Qingfeng Mountain at the moment, so he sent troops to Zengtou City so openly this time.

As for why Mu Xu ignored Dongping Mansion, the reason is very simple, because compared to Qingzhou, Dongping Mansion is adjacent to Zengtou City, but there are mountain roads between the two places, which is not conducive to the march of the army.

But it happened that Dongping Mansion suddenly came out, which was really unexpected.Seeing that Mu Xu frowned and said nothing, Zhu Wu asked with concern, "The village master is worried about the reinforcements from Dongping Mansion?"

Mu Xu shook his head and said, "No, in my opinion, no matter how many people come to Dongping Mansion, it's nothing more than sheep entering the tiger's mouth. I'm hesitating whether I should take this opportunity to take down Dongping Mansion in one fell swoop, so as to raise my price." Liangshan's army is mighty."

"Didn't the village master once say that he didn't want to attract too much attention from the court?" Zhu Wu asked in confusion.

Mu Xu replied, "I did think so at first, but now and then, after we capture Zengtou City, our strength will inevitably increase greatly, and our military strength has reached my psychological expectations.

Furthermore, I received a tip from Tokyo that Gao Qiu already knew that Teacher Lin and I were in Liangshan, and with his vengeful nature, he would soon instigate the faint king and let the imperial army come to attack me.That being the case, then simply capture Dongping Mansion to enrich the treasury. "

As soon as Mu Xu mentioned Gao Qiu, Lin Chong's eyes turned red immediately, and he cursed, "It's better that Gao Qiu leads the troops in person, then I have to kill the thief with my own hands!"

"Teacher, don't worry. As long as we repel the imperial soldiers and horses a few times, how can Gao Lian, who led the expedition to Liangshan, remain indifferent? In order to give an account to the court, he will definitely come in person. At that time, we will let him come. There is no return."

Mu Xu comforted Lin Chong, and then asked Shi Wengong, "Do you know who the Dongping Mansion will send to lead the army, and how many troops?"

Shi Wengong replied honestly, "Most likely Dong Ping is the general, and the number of troops should not exceed [-]."

"But those two guns hit Dong Ping and Dong Yi?" Zhu Wu asked.

"It's that man. The villain has never met Dong Ping, but I have heard that he is handsome, handsome, ingenious, ingenious, knowledgeable in everything, mastering bamboo and tuning strings. Especially he has an amazing body. He is good at martial arts, he is good at using two green spears, and he is brave enough to charge into battle."

When Shi Wengong said this, he paused for a moment, and added,

"There is a member of Zeng's family named Yu Baosi. He is one zhang long and several girth wide. He is nicknamed Dangerous Dao God. He and Dong Ping are old acquaintances. Maybe we can learn something about Dong Ping's temperament through him."

Zhu Wu waved his hands and said, "No need, Xiao Ke knows a thing or two about Dong Ping. This man is impatient and loves to compete with others every time he goes out to fight, otherwise he wouldn't be nicknamed Dong Yikang. If it was him this time Leading the army, that is nothing to be afraid of."

Although Mu Xu didn't interrupt, how could he not know who Dong Ping was?This guy can be said to be one of the worst characters among the heroes of the Water Margin.

In the original book, this fellow was originally the warden of the Dongping Mansion, and because of the beautiful appearance of Cheng Waner, the daughter of the governor Cheng Wanli, he went to propose to Cheng Wanli.But because the Song Dynasty emphasized literature over martial arts, Cheng Wanli naturally looked down on Dong Ping, who was a martial artist, and rejected him decisively.

Just at this time, Song Jiang led troops to attack, and Dong Ping saw that Cheng Wanli was going to rely on him to guard the city, so he took advantage of the danger and proposed marriage to Cheng Wanli, but Cheng Wanli still refused, which annoyed Dong Ping, so Grudge.

Later, Dong Ping went out of the city to fight Song Jiang, fell into Song Jiang's trick, and was captured alive. At this time, Dong Ping's greed for life and fear of death were particularly obvious. Madman." Not wanting to be captured once, he surrendered directly without hesitation, and flattered him, "Young generals who are captured, ten thousand deaths are light, if they can be forgiven, it is really a blessing. "

Then under the leadership of this fellow, Song Jiang's army easily invaded Dongping Mansion, and Dong Ping even killed Cheng Wanli's family and snatched Cheng Wan'er away in the process.The poor character of this person can be seen from this.

Seeing that Mu Xu remained silent for a long time, Zhu Wu suggested, "Village Master, you should send scouts to Dongping Mansion to investigate the military situation and see where the reinforcements have arrived?"

Mu Xu nodded, "Naturally, I will send an order later, ordering the scouts to go back quickly. But the most urgent thing at the moment is to win Zengtou City first."

Zhu Wu looked at Shi Wengong, and said with a smile, "Originally, after capturing the North Village of Zeng's family, we should pull out the remaining three villages one by one, but now that the teacher Shi is here, this matter is much easier, let's go straight to Huanglong That's it."

Hearing this, Shi Wengong obviously understood Zhu Wu's implication, he couldn't help hesitating, after all the Zeng family treated him well, if he acted as an internal response, he might be suspected of repaying his kindness with revenge.

Seeing Shi Wengong's concerns, Zhu Wu immediately persuaded, "Master Shi, just like what the village master said before, the Zeng family is from Diyi, and I took in their family in the Central Plains. My people of the Han family, this move is really outraged by both men and gods! Today, the teacher has abandoned the dark and turned to the bright, and he should set things right, how can he abandon the righteousness of the nation because of personal righteousness?"

Lin Chong also said, "The military master's words are reasonable, junior brother, the Zeng family is just a barbarian generation, how can they be worthy of the heroes of our Han family? What's more, the younger brother was defeated and captured, and he didn't surrender before the battle. Hard work is already worthy of his Zeng family's salary, so why be so kind to a woman?"

With the steps given by Zhu and Wu, Shi Wengong finally let go. He bowed to Mu Xu and said, "The villain only wants to open the gate of the village by fraud, and he doesn't care about anything else. Please forgive me, the village master!"

Mu Xu helped Shi Wengong up, agreed to his request, and even praised, "Great kindness, brother Shi's move is a kindness and righteousness. I don't know how many innocent people who were deceived by the Zeng family were spared the suffering of swords and soldiers. It is a blessing." Dabai too!"

At that moment, Mu Xu recruited a group of leaders, and everyone discussed it properly, and each acted according to the plan.

In the evening of the same day, at the main gate of the village in Zengtou City, all the village lords were patrolling carefully, but they saw smoke and dust everywhere in the distance, and a large army of horses approached.

When the horse army approached, Zhuang Ding, the guard at the gate, realized that it was Shi Wengong who had come, and immediately put down his guard. Before they could ask any questions, he heard Shi Wengong shout, "Quickly open the gate of the village, I have something important to see the Patriarch."

These gatekeeper Zhuang Ding knew Shi Wengong's status in the village, so even if some people secretly felt that it was inappropriate for him to bring a large group of people, they still honestly lowered the suspension bridge and watched Shi Wengong lead people into the village.

Needless to say, what happened afterwards, with Shi Wengong as the insider, Liangshan's army took Zengtou City in one fell swoop without any effort, and captured Zeng Nong Laoer and Yu Baosi alive. Zhai didn't even send out a letter asking for help.

What's worth mentioning is that Zeng did not have the blood of a Jurchen savage, once Fang was captured, he surrendered neatly, and followed what Mu Xu said, hoping to escape with his life.

Seeing that Zeng Nong cooperated so well, there was nothing to say, so he immediately forced him to write a letter to the remaining four sons, calling them back to the village to discuss matters. Choose to follow suit.

The four brothers of Zeng Tu who were in charge of guarding the three villages in the east, west and south, did not suspect him at all after receiving the letter from their father, so they each returned to the main village in Zengtou City with some followers. Entering the gate of the village, he was surrounded by soldiers from Liangshan, and they were tightly tied up.
