The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 388

Of course Mu Xu would not agree to Shi Wengong's reckless request, but he shook his head and said,

"Today's card defeated two generals. After returning to Dongchang Mansion, I will not dare to send troops easily. If the teacher leads troops, it will be futile. We will discuss this matter later."

Shi Wengong had no choice but to give up, but Shi Jin was in a hurry, and hurriedly said, "Then what about Brother Yang Chun?"

Mu Xu thought for a while and gave his solution, "After returning to the mountain, I will send an envoy to Dongchang Mansion to exchange Gong Wang and Ding Desun for Brother Yang."

"There are still dozens of carts of property that were robbed." Lin Chong reminded.

Mu Xu sneered, and said disdainfully, "Hmph, how can it be so cheap? The property is temporarily stored in Dongchang Mansion, and after returning to Yang Chun, we will get it back with interest."

While a few people were talking, the team had already entered the territory of Yuncheng County, [-] miles away from Liangshan Po, Zhu Gui had already brought people to meet him early, and came to the edge of the water park in a whistling manner.Leaving Lin Chong and the others in charge of moving the spoils to the boat, Mu Xu went ahead and was escorted by the brothers Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaoqi to the golden beach.

Meet up with Xu Guanzhong and the others who are waiting here, and greet each other after each other.On the way up the mountain, Mu Xu asked about the current situation of the cottage, and Xu Guanzhong replied, "Don't worry, the village owner, everything in the cottage is as usual, but Qingfeng Mountain has recently become famous."

Recently, Mu Xu was busy conquering Zengtou City and then Dongping Mansion. He really didn't have much time to pay attention to Song Jiang's group. Hearing Xu Guanzhong's words, he suddenly became interested and asked, "Master, hurry up!" Speak."

Following Xu Guanzhong's eloquence, Mu Xu realized that Song Jiang and his gang were not idle when he was busy.

It is said that after Guan Sheng led the troops to Qingzhou Mansion, he immediately mobilized his army to kill the generals at Qingfeng Mountain.But at the foot of the mountain, no matter how Guan Sheng sent people to fight, there was always a sign of exemption from fighting on the mountain.

After more than half a month, Guan Sheng couldn't hold back the documents that the court urged from time to time, so he ordered people to guard the main roads of Qingfeng Mountain, and set fire to the forest on the mountain, trying to force Chao Gai and his gang Take the initiative.

As a result, the mountain seemed to be unable to hold on, and soldiers and horses came out of the stronghold, and the two sides met for a few rounds, but both ended in the victory of the officers and soldiers.Seeing that the bandits were not strong enough, Guan Sheng relaxed his vigilance and divided the troops into two groups.

One is led by Xuanzan and stationed at the foot of the mountain.The other place is led by Guan Sheng and Hao Siwen, who marched step by step on the mountain in an attempt to wipe out Chao Gai and his gang.

Guan Sheng didn't know that his move was falling into the enemy's plan. It turned out that before Guan Sheng's leader arrived, Song Jiang took the main force of Qingfeng Mountain to hide from the spies of Qingzhou Mansion and went down the mountain to Erlong Mountain.

After Guan Sheng divided the troops into two places, Song Jiang and his gang took advantage of the opportunity to march [-] li at night and attacked Xuanzan's troops in one fell swoop. Xuanzan was also captured alive by Qin Ming.

At this time, the offensive and defensive forces had changed hands, but Guan Sheng's troops were trapped in the mountains, unable to attack the Qingfeng Mountain stronghold, and unable to break through from the foot of the mountain.Guan Sheng and his party were besieged for several days, failed to break through several times, and finally surrendered helplessly.

Hearing this news, Mu Xu was really disappointed. He originally thought that when Guan Sheng's conquest of Qingfeng Mountain was unfavorable and he was cornered by Gao Qi, he would send someone to try to recruit him and pick up a cheap one. It's over.

For the next few days, Mu Xu stayed on the mountain, waiting for the returning army.On the one hand, Wang Dingliu was sent as an envoy to Dongchang Mansion and proposed to exchange prisoners of war.

At the same time, Mu Xu also secretly found Shi Xiu and ordered him to set up an internal security department to monitor the intelligence of various places externally and internally to monitor the interior of Liangshan.

Of course, this latter function will never be brought out in the open.As for why Mu Xu chose Shi Xiu, it was also after careful consideration and repeated comparisons.Because judging from the original book, Shi Xiu is bold, careful, loyal, and is the perfect candidate.

On the second day after the troops who conquered Zengtou City returned to Liangshanbo, Wang Dingliu, who was sent to Dongchang Mansion as an envoy, brought back a piece of news that made Mu Xu furious.

But the Governor of Dongchang Mansion was unwilling to exchange prisoners, and even wanted to behead Wang Dingliu to show the public. If Zhang Qing hadn't been concerned about the safety of Gong Wang and Ding Desun, and begged hard for Wang Dingliu, Wang Dingliu Almost got killed.

Haosheng appeased Wang Dingliu, and then Mu Xu invited Xu Guanzhong, Zhu Wu, Lehe and three people to explain the ins and outs of the matter and set the tone.
"This Dongchang Mansion took my property first, and humiliated my envoy later. If I don't teach him a profound lesson, won't the people of the world look down on me, Liangshan?"

Xu Guanzhong raised an objection, "The fact that we broke up the Dongping Mansion may have already spread to Tokyo City at this time. It cannot be said that the imperial court's conquest army is coming soon. From Xiaoke's point of view, it is not appropriate to act rashly at this time."

Zhu Wu also echoed, "Brother Xu's words are reasonable, why don't you just wait for a while, and wait for the definite news from Tokyo to discuss before it's too late."

Mu Xu couldn't help frowning when he heard the words, and asked Le He, "Brother Le, do you have a good opinion?"

Le He, who was promoted to the decision-making level in vain, heard Mu Xu's question, and replied with some embarrassment, "The words of the two military advisers are undoubtedly high-sounding, and the villain also thinks that it is better for us to be quiet now."

Seeing that the three rarely had the same opinion, Mu Xu had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​sending troops immediately, and sighed, "Forget it, let's wait and see what happens."

But Mu Xu didn't know at this moment that his plan to attack Dongchang Mansion was destined to be full of twists and turns.Just because when he was paying attention to the court's movements all the time, a major event happened in Chai Jin's mansion far away in Cangzhou.

However, since the imperial court officers and soldiers were repelled, Qingfeng Mountain has had the same momentum. In the green forests in the north, it is almost comparable to Liangshan Mountain. At that time, many heroes came to vote, and among them was Lei Heng, the winged tiger.

When Lei Heng was in Yuncheng County, he was an old acquaintance of Chao Gai and Song Jiang, and he had provided convenience for the two of them many times.This time he came to join the gang, Chao Gai and others treated him like a guest of honor.

At the banquet to welcome the wind and wash the dust, everyone couldn't help asking why he fell into the grass, Lei Heng said indignantly, "It's also Xiao Ke's unlucky life, being killed by a prostitute, so that my mother and son can't return home."

Immediately, Lei Heng explained his experience in detail. It turned out that last month Lei Heng went to Goulan to watch a play, because he forgot to bring the reward, he was pestered and insulted by Bai Yuqiao, the father of the prostitute Bai Xiuying.In a fit of rage, he beat Bai Yuqiao till her lips were bruised, and Bai Xiuying sued her to the government.

The newly appointed magistrate had an old relationship with Bai Xiuying, so he ordered Lei Heng to be arrested and beaten in court.In order to humiliate Lei Heng, Bai Xiuying beat him up in front of Goulan gate in public.

When Lei Heng's mother came to deliver the meal, she scolded Bai Xiuying, but she was pushed to the ground by Bai Xiuying and slapped repeatedly.Lei Hengsu was filial to his mother, and when he saw her mother being beaten, he was so angry that he beat Bai Xiuying to death with a shackle, and was sent to prison.

Thanks to Zhu Tong's management, he was ordered to escort Lei Heng to Jeju and let him go on the way.Lei Heng returned home secretly, and took his mother to Qingfeng Mountain overnight.

Hearing Lei Heng's words, Chao Gai and his gang scolded prostitutes for being shameless, only Wu Yong's eyes lit up, and he suddenly asked, "I don't know what happened to Zhu Dongdu, but has he been implicated?"

Lei Heng said shamelessly, "Brother Zhu was assassinated and sent to the Cangzhou Mansion for saving me. It has been more than a few days since I imagined it."

Wu Yong immediately made a gesture of righteous indignation, and said to everyone, "We are so happy to be together today, how can we allow Brother Zhu to suffer in another country? With my humble opinion, it is better to pick him up and do justice for the heavens together." , wouldn't it be great!"

Chao Gai has always put loyalty first, and when he heard this, he agreed without even thinking about it, and praised, "The pedant's words are very in line with my wishes, I don't know what the virtuous brother Gongming thinks?"

Song Jiang looked at Wu Yong meaningfully, and after they looked at each other, he said with a smile, "It's a good idea to be a scholar. Brother Zhu Tong has kindness to Brother Chao and Song, so we can't stand by and watch."

This was said so openly that everyone present praised Song Jiang for his clear distinction between grievances and grievances.But Song Jiang himself knew very well that Zhu Ting's family was extremely wealthy, and what he committed this time was only a small crime. As long as he dealt with it up and down, he would not suffer much at all, so there was no need for them to spend a lot of trouble to rescue him. .
