Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

When Song Jiang, the gangster, was brazenly using Cao Cao as a metaphor for himself, the chasing soldiers shouted in unison behind him: "Brothers, kill! Let go of the robber Tao Zongwang!"

"Stop leaving the robber Tao Zongwang!"

"Stop leaving the robber Tao Zongwang!"

……

There were bursts of loud shouts from behind, which made Song Jiang feel very embarrassed.

Are the pursuers blind?Didn't you see that I, the master of the second village in Liangshanbo, the well-known Shandong Hubaoyi in the world, rain Song Jiang in time?Compared with me, Xiaoyi Heishanlang, what kind of bird is that Tao Zongwang who grows crops?

Song Jiang looked back, only to see "Nine-Tailed Turtle" Tao Zongwang also riding his horse behind him with a blank face, and for some reason he was followed by pursuers.

Song Jiang, who wanted to imitate Cao Cao and "cut his beard and abandon his robe", was despised by the pursuers. He felt ashamed and annoyed when he saw Tao Zongwang who was stunned. Why did this idiot still follow behind us?

Seeing that Wu Yong and Jiang Jing were silent, Song Jiang said hypocritically to the two of them: "Two brothers, brother Tao Zongwang is a good man, powerful enough to shock the enemy. Wait and see that the pursuers are all coming for him! I You must not leave Brother Tao Zongwang alone and escape alone, and you will live and die with him."

Both Wu Yong and Jiang Jing are smart people, so why don't they know what Song Jiang said and have to listen to it the other way around.The meaning of Song Jiang's words is: Tao Zongwang has been targeted by the enemy, and I don't know if he can escape today.If we are still walking with him, I am afraid that we will be dragged down by him and buried with him.The only plan for the present is to part ways with Tao Zongwang and obey their destiny.But I, Song Jiang, as the head of the village, it is not convenient to say that I abandon my brother.You two are in the same boat as me now, what to do is up to you!

Wu Yong cursed secretly in his heart, and had to admit that Song Jiang's decision was beneficial to him.However, as the third military adviser in Liangshan, Wu Yong has to pride himself on his status at this time and leave the dirty work to others.

Isn't there a tank top person here who is the most suitable?Wu Yong looked at Jiang Jing silently.

Jiang Jing's status in Liangshan can't be compared with Song Jiang and Wu Yong, so he can't help but show up at this time.Although Jiang Jing and Tao Zongwang are both brothers of Huangmenshan, there are thousands of reluctances in their hearts, but they dare not go against Song Jiang's wishes.

Jiang Jing slowed down his horse, and when Tao Zongwang was about to catch up, he turned his head and said to him, "Good brother, it's urgent! You and I will part here and escape separately! We are waiting for a large number of people and lead the pursuers away, brother, hurry up Escape alone."

Tao Zongwang was confused when he heard this, the pursuers behind him were yelling to arrest him!How could the brothers lure away the pursuers and let him escape alone?

Seeing that Tao Zongwang didn't know it for a while, Jiang Jing rode with him, and whispered in his ear: "Brother, this is what Brother Gongming meant. Go quickly! If you escape with your life, go away by yourself, don't let him go." Back to the village again!"

Chapter 341 Capture the Nine-Tailed Turtle Alive

This Jiang Jing used to be the military adviser of the Huangmenshan small gang. Tao Zongwang had developed a habit of obeying him when he was in Huangmenshan. As soon as he pulled the reins, he rushed out in the other direction.

Jiang Jing glanced at Tao Zongwang who was going away with a complicated expression, rode back to Song Jiang, and said to Song Jiang and Wu Yong: "Two brothers, Brother Tao Zongwang heard that the pursuers wanted to arrest him, so he became furious and single-handedly killed the general. He went out and disappeared among the rebellious soldiers, brother really couldn't stop him, so he had to let him go."

Song Jiang heard the words and sighed: "Hey~ Brother Tao Zongwang, why are you so reckless? You all follow me to chase him back! Don't let Brother Tao Zongwang show the bravery of ordinary people, we will live and die together with Brother Liangshan!"

Jiang Jingdao: "Brother Gongming, Gao Yi! It's just that Brother Tao Zongwang has gone far away, and it's really hard to find him. Why don't I go back to the village first, and then send someone to inquire about him before it's too late."

Wu Yong also persuaded, Song Jiang had no choice but to squeeze out two tears, sighed and galloped with the crowd, and did not look back for another look.

Wu Yong and Jiang Jing, however, turned their heads frequently to look around and pursue the soldiers.When they saw that the chasing team of cavalry followed Tao Zongwang and stopped chasing their pedestrians, they finally breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed a lot.

Song Jiang and others ran straight for more than 20 miles along the road opened by Tao Zongwang. After arriving at the foot of Dulonggang, they dared to stop for a short rest, let the horses eat a few mouthfuls of grass, and sweat while raising horsepower. , while gathering the remnants and defeated generals who came one after another.

To Song Jiang's surprise, although the two brothers Du Qian and Song Wan who were sent to attack the back door of Zhujiazhuang as bait were defeated by Luan Tingyu and Zhu Hu, they escaped with their lives and fled to Dulonggang with more than 1000 stragglers. collided with them.

Perhaps it was because the troops of Zhujiazhuang and Hujiazhuang were also tired from fighting, Song Jiang did not see their troops chasing Dulonggang.Song Jiang took advantage of this rare opportunity to gather the remnants of the fleeing soldiers, and even collected more than 3000 young men who had discarded their armor and armor.

Although most of the troops brought down from Liangshan were lost this time, the whole army was not wiped out, and Song Jiang still had some troops to protect himself and several leaders to return to Liangshanbo safely.As for those brothers trapped in Zhujiazhuang, they can only hope for their own blessings. Brother Song Jiang has no strength to rescue them anymore.

Song Jiang, Wu Yong and other leaders sat together to discuss and found the reason for the defeat.This time, it was blamed on Sun Li and the eight people from Dengzhou who acted secretly and exposed their flaws, which made Zhu Jiazhuang see through the originally seamless plan of combining internal and external.In particular, the "iron caller" Le He seemed to have defected to the enemy, attracting Liang Shan's army into an ambush on the gate tower.The crimes of this battle are all caused by Sun Li and the other eight people from Dengzhou!

After finding the culprit, Song Jiang asked Jiang Jing and other leaders to reorganize the team, reorganize the ranks, and restore the fighting power of the young men, but he and Wu Yong walked far away together, discussing something in secret.

Song Jiang didn't know at this time that he could still gather more than 3000 remnants of defeated generals to breathe here. It wasn't because Ximen Qing and others were not capable enough to kill them all, but because Ximen Qing asked the brothers to keep their hands and let them survive.

What Ximenqing is playing in this Yunzhou now is to raise the bandits' self-respect, and use the threat of the Liangshanbo bandits to the surrounding area to justifiably expand the force of his manor.

Therefore, before the time is right, Ximen Qing will only beat up the robbers in Liangshanbo, causing them to lose troops and weaken their strength, but he will not easily destroy Liangshanbo and beat the Liangshan robbers to death.Otherwise, without the threat of the Liangshanbo robbers, Ximen Qing would have so much force, the government would probably target him.

Ximen Qing's accumulation of strength is not enough, he doesn't want to be forced to rebel, fail in rebellion, and become Fang La in the north.

I, a senior official in Ximen, has a group of wives and concubines. I am living a happy life, but I don't want to be ruined by those stupid people in the Song Dynasty court.This pot of porridge from a high official has to be boiled slowly!

Although many young people became the fish that slipped through the net that Ximenqing deliberately released, Tao Zongwang, the "nine-tailed turtle", was not so lucky.Ximen Qing led the cavalry to stare at Tao Zongwang to death, and pursued him closely.

Tao Zongwang bid farewell to Jiang Jing, and after leaving Song Jiang's team alone, he came to his senses after running not far away: Zhiniang thief, that fellow of Song Jiang heard the pursuers chasing me, afraid that I would drag them down!I can't imagine that Song Jiang has such a heart, thanks to my strength, I saved that guy just now!No wonder brother Jiang Jing wants me to go far away and never return to the village. I can't serve such bird people!After escaping my life this time, I'd better go back to Gwangju to plant tea!

Tao Zongwang rode his horse and fled angrily, but he couldn't get rid of the pursuers behind him.When he was anxious, another team suddenly rushed out diagonally ahead, blocking his way.

The leading general shouted loudly, "Tao Zongwang, the Liangshan thief, where do you want to escape? You haven't dismounted and surrendered!"

Tao Zongwang let out a strange cry, and hit the shovel in Wu's hand.How could he know that the other general was not afraid at all, he jumped out of Tao Zongwang's shovel with a single jump, and with a backhand swipe of the gun, Tao Zongwang was knocked off the horse.

Tao Zongwang fell all over the place, and when he turned over and was still struggling, the general's spear had already reached his chest, making Tao Zongwang dare not move.

The sergeants around rushed up, grabbed Tao Zongwang's shovel, and tied him up.

Ximen Qing also led his troops to arrive at this time, he reined in Wu Zhima, laughed loudly and said, "Brother Luan, I'll let you take the lead!"

It was Luan Tingyu who knocked Tao Zongwang off with this move.

After Luan Tingyu defeated the Liangshan army at the back door of Zhujiazhuang, and intentionally released Du Qian and Song Wan, he led his troops to the front door to pursue them, but happened to see Tao Zongwang who was running away alone.Luan Tingyu remembered that Ximen Qing had said that he should capture Tao Zongwang alive, so he rushed over to capture this reckless man alive.

Luan Tingyu laughed and said: "Brother asked me to capture this man alive that day, I dare not forget it, luckily I did not disgrace my life, hahaha~"

Ximen Qing said to the soldiers: "This hero's arms are as strong as a thousand catties, and he just lifted the thousand catty gate by himself! Take care of him, don't let him break the rope and escape!"

After hearing this, the soldiers added a few more leather ropes, tied Tao Zongwang tightly to the horse's back, followed Ximen Qing and Luan Tingyu and returned victorious.

……

Inside Zhujiazhuang, in the cage of the cell, Shi Xiu and Pei Xuan, who had been looking forward to Zou Yuan and Zou Runlai's release, waited for a long time, but there was no movement at the gate of the courtyard.Shi Xiu and the others couldn't help but look at each other, feeling uneasy.

Outside the cell, there was a lot of fighting inside and outside Zhujiazhuang at first, but now it has gradually subsided, and there are not many fighting sounds.It seems that today's battle is over, I just don't know the outcome?Has Liangshan's army broken this abominable Zhujiazhuang?

Just as Shi Xiu and the others were looking around anxiously, there was a sound of footsteps outside the courtyard, and then the courtyard door was suddenly pushed open, and Uncle and Nephew Zou, whom everyone was waiting for, appeared at the gate.

Chapter 342 The Unlucky Sky-Pumping Eagle

When Shi Xiu, Pei Xuan and others looked at Zou Yuan and Zou Run's uncle and nephew carefully, they felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, and their bodies were chilled.

I saw Zou's uncle and nephew, with patches of green and purple on their skin, being tied up and pushed into the yard by Wuhuada.Immediately afterwards, Sun Li, Sun Xin, Xie Zhen, Xie Bao, Le He, Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Le were all escorted by the farmer and sent in one file at a time, and were locked into the cages prepared for them earlier.

Seeing the scene in front of them, how could Shi Xiu and the others not know that the Liangshan Army had suffered a disastrous defeat, and all the leaders who had sneaked into Zhujiazhuang as the internal response were all captured without missing a beat. They really lost so thoroughly!

Zhu Biao's figure appeared at the gate, looking at the disheveled Liangshan bandits with a straight smile, he said to them: "It's been a while since you guys have come to Zhujiazhuang, and I've raised you all with delicious food and drink, so I'm going Waiting to take that Song Jiang, I will send you to Bianliang, Tokyo together. But today, that black guy in Song Jiang has left all the heroes behind and fled back to Liangshanbo. You can’t let that black guy be reunited with you here, But it is very regrettable! You heroes may wish to catch up on the past here, tomorrow Bizhuang will send you to the city of Yunzhou."

"Bah~" Shi Xiu spat in Zhu Biao's direction, and cursed: "Little thief, the master is not afraid of you! How dare you kill the master now? The master is a well-known hero in the world, and he will never accept you." Disgrace!"

"Hey~ This idiot who brought me to the door has such a temper! Today I saved all their corn buns. I don't have any dogs that bite people in Zhujiazhuang's grain!" Zhu Biao distributed to the guards around him. road.

"Young owner is wise! You guys think that bowl of moat water can be saved!" Many of the guards have vendettas against Shi Xiu and Yang Xiong, wishing to humiliate Shi Xiu and others.

"You take care of these little things yourself, why do you need to report them to me? This cage is full of desperadoes, so watch them closely!" After Zhu Biao finished speaking, he turned and left the courtyard of the cell.
