The night was dark, it was early autumn, and the new autumn wind swept over the eight hundred miles of water, bringing with it an icy chill. The reed swamps around Liangshan Bo were filled with shouts of killing and shaking the sky.

On the official road not far from Liangshan Mountain, there was a man and a horse galloping wildly. The horse had white hooves and a black body. It was the snow-treading Wuzui given by the officials at that time;

He was wearing a golden forehead, a seven-star nailed soap robe, black oil inlaid armor, and a pair of water-polished eight-edged steel whips carried on his horse. Although he had a majestic body and extraordinary appearance, he looked particularly embarrassed at this time.

This man was the main general in the Imperial Conquest of Liangshanbo, the direct descendant of the founding general Iron Whip King Huyanzan, the double whip-Huyanzhuo.

However, Hu Yanzhuo was riding on horseback at this time, and his heart felt heavy. This time he conquered Liangshan Po. He thought it was a matter of success, but at the beginning he won consecutive battles. He never thought that this was the arrogant plan of the Liangshan bandits.

Now, taking advantage of the darkness and lack of visibility, he led a large army into the reed swamp and was ambushed. Not only were many officers and soldiers killed, but two generals, Han Tao and Peng Qi, were also captured by thieves.

How dare you go back to Beijing!

"I don't want to be in trouble today. I have a family and a country that is hard to escape, but now who should I go to?" This man, a direct descendant of the founding general and a man with a courage unworthy of ten thousand people, looked up to the sky and sighed.

Walking aimlessly to Tianyin, he was exhausted, hungry and thirsty. When he saw a village hotel by the road, Hu Yanzhuo dismounted his horse, tied it to a tree in front of the door, entered the store, put his whip on the table, sat down and called

The bartender brings wine and meat to eat.

Not long after, the bartender brought some wine and meat and put them on the table. Hu Yanzhuo raised his head and asked, "Where is this place?"

"This is the junction of Dongpingfu and Jeju. To the north is Dongpyeongfu and to the south is Jeju." The bartender responded after hearing this.

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. A year suddenly came to Hu Yanzhuo's mind: Mr. Zhang Shuye, the prefect of Jeju, is a good minister of the country. He was also a veteran on the battlefield in the past. Why not go there and join him? Borrow the soldiers of this state.

Ma, it's not too late to lead another army to take revenge.

With an idea in his mind, Hu Yanzhuo didn't waste any time. He dealt with the meat and wine three or two times, paid the money with the bartender, and rushed to Jeju.

...

At sunset and dusk, in the Jeju government office, Zhang Shuye was sitting opposite a young man. There was a pair of Go games on the table, with the black pieces ending, the final calamity, the losing single, and the sticky calamity closing with two more eyes.

Zhang Shuye looked at the chess game in front of him with a complicated expression, put the white piece in his hand back into the chessboard, and said to Zhu Biao: "Sanlang, you and I have a solid understanding, what do you want to do with so many people under your command?"

?”

When Zhu Biao heard this, he smiled and said: "Uncle, you have overthought it. Sanlang is now the defense envoy of Dongping Prefecture, and the people under his command are naturally responsible for protecting the country and the people."

"Haha~" Uncle Zhang chuckled at night and said: "Sanlang, your uncle has not yet reached the age of old age. If you say this, do you believe it? If you really protect the country and the people, then the gang on Liangshan Mountain

Thief, what are you raising?"

After hearing this question, Zhu Biao sighed in his heart. Facing this famous official of the Song Dynasty who had a national death festival in history and an old man whom he respected very much, Zhu Biao really didn't want to deceive him. He only had some words that he could say to Wen Huanzhang and Xu Guanzhong.

Others said that they could even say it to Cheng Wanli, but they could not say it to Zhang Shuye alone. The four words "loyalty to the emperor and service to the country" had long been embedded in the heart of the old man in front of him.

"Uncle must have misunderstood. Sanlang has nothing to do with the Liangshan bandits, and he has no idea of ​​​​respecting the bandits. If uncle wants to wipe out the Liangshan group, Sanlang will definitely help." Zhu Biao stood up and moved toward

Zhang Shuye bowed and cupped his hands.

Zhang Shuye heard this and snorted coldly. Just as he was about to speak, a yamen servant came in, cupped his hands towards Zhang Shuye and said: "Master, there is a man outside the yamen who claims to be Hu Yanzhuo, the commander of the capital of Runing County who conquered Liangshanbo.

I want to pay an audience to the Lord."

"Hu Yanzhuo? Aren't we currently conquering the Liangshan group? Why are we here? Could it be that we were defeated?"

Zhang Shuye thought about it for a while and said to the Yamen servant: "Please invite him in quickly."

The yamen officer went out, and not long after, he led a majestic general in. After a day's riding, he entered the Jeju government yamen. Hu Yanzhuo looked at the room and bowed to Zhang Shuye:

"The last general has met Mr. Zhang."

When Zhang Shuye saw it, he stood up and supported Hu Yanzhuo, saying, "I heard that the general was arresting the Liangshan Po grass bandits, how come you are here?"

After hearing this, Hu Yanzhuo's expression darkened, and he sighed bitterly, detailing the details of his confrontation with Liang Shan. Zhang Shuye also sighed after hearing this.

"Although the general has killed many men and horses, this is not a crime of slow performance. There is nothing you can do if you fall into the trap of the thieves. What is the purpose of the general coming to Jeju?"

Hearing this, Hu Yanzhuo hurriedly knelt on the ground and said: "Although the general is defeated this time, he has figured out the route of the grass bandits in Liangshan. I would like to beg the governor to lend troops and horses from this state to avenge his previous humiliation."

Hearing this, Zhang Shuye nodded, turned to look at Zhu Biao, and said: "Liangshan is across Yun and Jizhou. Sanlang is the defense envoy of Dongping Prefecture. It is also his duty to conquer Liangshan."

, just now Sanlang said, if I want to conquer Liangshan, you will definitely help me, are you willing to help now?"

After hearing Zhang Shuye's words, Zhu Biao had not yet answered, but Hu Yanzhuo on the side was very happy. He never thought that when he came to Jeju this time, he would encounter the defense envoys of Dongping Mansion. However, it was not in accordance with God's will to let a certain

Free from shame.

Hu Yanzhuo hurriedly stepped forward and said to Zhu Biao, "Dare you ask for your honorable name?"

Zhu Biao looked at the important general in front of him who would occupy the eighth position in Liangshan in the future. In terms of his background, this man was no less generous than Yang Zhi. The conquest of Liangshan was going smoothly, but what happened?

Before the recruitment, Liangshan was destined to return to his destiny, and he couldn't fight with him. He wandered around Qingzhou, but in the end he still couldn't get rid of the fate of Luocao.

However, Hu Yanzhuo was one of the few surviving generals in Liangshan. After pacifying Fangla, he was awarded the title of commander of the imperial camp's troops and horses, and he trained with them every day. He then led the army, defeated Jin Wushu, the fourth prince of the Jin Kingdom, and marched to Huaihe.

Xi was killed in battle, and his body was returned wrapped in horse leather.

"Zhu Biao has seen Hu Yanzhuo." Zhu Biao cupped his hands towards Hu Yanzhuo.

When Hu Yanzhuo heard the words, a flash of light flashed in his mind, and he hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, are you the Third Young Master Zhu who is called Taishan Lord?"

Seeing Zhu Biao nodding his head, Hu Yanzhuo took advantage of the opportunity and sighed: "It's a blessing to have Lord Taishan help me this time. Thank you, Hu Yanzhuo."

Zhu Biao said, but he smiled playfully. He never thought that Hu Yanzhuo would also climb up the pole. Before he could speak, he decided for himself. Zhu Biao didn't want to talk about it, so he said to Zhang Shuye

.

"If my uncle wants to send troops, Sanlang will help him greatly, so he will send 3,000 troops and follow Huyan's command. How about that?"

"Yes." Zhang Shuye nodded and said, "There are many capable people on your hill. I hope Sanlang will be more careful."

Zhu Biao smiled, cupped his hands, and turned to leave. Seeing that Zhu Biao was no longer around, Hu Yanzhuo hurriedly held his hands toward Zhang Shuye and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhou Quan."

After hearing this, Zhang Shuye sighed and said meaningfully to Hu Yanzhuo: "Whether the general can avenge his shame this time depends entirely on whether he is willing to sincerely help you."
