Chapter 91 Qingfeng Mountain Soldiers Approaching the City III
I saw these two people fighting fiercely on the horse. The two painted halberds came and went, and shadows flew all over the sky. Every move was very particular, and Hua Rong and Song Jiang couldn't help but watch it on the horse. With cheers, Hua Rong rode his horse forward step by step, only to see that the two warriors had fought from the road to the mountain, but they were deadlocked. The two seemed to be competing for arm strength, but they seemed to be twisting their weapons. Struggling, Hua Rong stared at it carefully, then it suddenly dawned on her, and she couldn't help but smile. It turned out that one of the two halberds was tied with a golden leopard tail, and the other was a golden five-color silk. At this time, they were mixed into a ball with velvet on them. The rope is tightly knotted, and there is no way it can be broken apart.
Hua Rong looked at the horse, then took the horse, left hand to get the bow from the flying fish bag, and pulled the arrow from the beast pot with the right hand, put the arrow on it, pulled the bow full, looked at the tight place where the leopard tail wool thread was entangled, and felt shuddering. It was an arrow that happened to cut off the yarn, and the two painted halberds were separated. The two feinted twice, and then separated into two sides to oppose each other. When the two hundred people saw Hua Rong's sharp shot, they all cheered and cheered. , and the two warriors did not continue to fight, they both rode up to Song Jiang, and in front of Hua Rong's horse, they immediately bowed and said, "I would like to ask for the name of General Shenjian."
Hua Rong returned the salute on the horse and replied: "My sworn brother is the police officer of Yuncheng County. I am Song Gongming of Jishiyu in Shandong Province. I am Xiaoli Guang Huarong of Qingfeng Town Zhizhai Village."
When the two warriors heard this, they couldn't help but be surprised. They hurriedly tied their halberds, rolled over and got off their horses, pushed the golden mountains and knocked down the jade pillars. They all fell to the ground and said, "You have been famous for a long time." Song Jiang and Hua Rong hurriedly dismounted. , helped the two warriors up and said, "May I ask the names of these two warriors?"
The man in red armor said: "The villain's surname is Lu and his given name is Fang. His ancestors were from Guantan Prefecture. He always loved to imitate Lü Bu as a person, so he learned this square-shaped halberd. People in the world called him 'Little Wenhou'." 'Lu Fang, because he sold herbal medicines to Shandong, lost all his capital and could not return home, so he occupied these two shadow mountains and robbed the houses. Recently, this strong man came and wanted to seize my village. I saw that he was also a good man. So we were assigned to a mountain each, but he refused, so he came down the mountain to fight every day, not thinking that it was destined by fate that today he would meet Zunyan."
Song Jiang smiled and nodded, and asked the strong man in white his surname.
The man replied: "My surname is Guo and my first name is Sheng. My ancestral home is Jialing, Sichuan. Because I was selling mercury, my boat was capsized in the Yellow River and I was unable to return to my hometown. I originally learned my skills in military affairs in Jialing." The Fang Tian Ji under his control was mastered later, and people called the villain "Sai Rengui" Guo Sheng. It was heard in the Jianghu that there was a halberd wielder in this pair of shadow mountains who occupied the top of the mountain and often robbed homes and houses. Therefore, So I gathered some people and horses and came straight here to compete in halberd skills. They fought for more than ten days without winning or losing. Unexpectedly, I met the two princes today. It is so lucky."
Song Jiang was happy after hearing this, and immediately said: "Since we are fortunate enough to meet each other, how about we try to make peace with you two?"
The two strong men were overjoyed and agreed. At this time, the rear team had also arrived, and they were all introduced to meet each other. Lu Fang first invited him to go up the mountain to kill cattle and horses for a banquet. The next day, it was Guo Sheng who prepared the banquet. Feast.
Song Jiang rested for the night on the pair of shadow mountains, thinking about his way out after going to Liangshan. A few days ago, before Song Jiang arrived at Qingfeng Village, he heard that Shi Jin had already gone to Huayin from Liangshan on the flood and drought roads. , and before leaving, he took many people from Liangshan with him, and Liangshan was used as a safe island for Shi Jin to stay in China. After all, Liangshan has developed waterway transportation and is very convenient from Bianjing and other key points. If If necessary, we can send troops from here to "encircle Wei and rescue Zhao", or to "attack from both sides" against the Song Dynasty. Liangshan occupies a favorable location and is a rare treasure land. Although there are thousands of soldiers and horses on the mountain, The powerful leaders also followed Shi Jin to Huayin, and there were not many generals left behind.
If Song Jiang takes people there this time, he will definitely have an absolute advantage. Using Liangshan's foundation to make a comeback, wouldn't it be more beneficial than in Qingfeng Mountain? Chao Gai is now firmly sitting on the top spot. This actually doesn't matter. Song Jiang knew in his heart that as long as his subordinates accounted for the majority, it would be a matter of time to control the key points of the village. If he had his own abilities, power would naturally not fall to the side. When the time comes, Chao Gai would naturally take control of the situation and let Chao Gai take control of the situation. It is not unreasonable for him to enjoy his old age with peace of mind, and now there are two such talented generals, and they are young, they are malleable talents. If they can be guided by Song Jiang, they will definitely become his right-hand man in the future. , that night, Song Jiang had the idea to win over the two of them to join the gang. As soon as this year came up in his heart, Song Jiang thought more and more, until he had thought about everything, and had a plan in mind, then he went to find the two. After persuading the people one by one, Song Jiang persuaded him and the two of them to join the gang, and they were willing to join his account, and together they went to Liangshanbo to join Chao Gai Juyi.
Guo Sheng and Lu Fang were both young men in their twenties who were just starting out in the world. They were immediately moved by Song Jiang's words and coaxed and deceived them. The two of them listened with joy and admired Song Jiang. They immediately became the eldest brother and took the throne. Under Wang Ying, Guo Sheng was the fifth, Lu Fang was the sixth, and Song Jiang talked to them about the past in the world. Their aura of high morals and respect immediately frightened the two little bastards. When they talked about the general trend of the world, Song Jiang pointed out, The impassionedness, especially when it came to accumulating strength to rise up and make great achievements, excited the blood of these two young men who were inexperienced in the world. Song Jiang's image immediately established a stalwart figure in their hearts. , so they both agreed to what Song Jiang said. Immediately after dawn, they set up the people and horses on the two mountains, packed their belongings, and then went down the mountain to follow Song Jiang to Liang Shanbo.
But just when the soldiers and horses were assembled and about to stand up, Song Jiang said: "Hang on, if we go like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to get up the mountain. Look at it, we now have generals and soldiers. If there are five or six hundred people on horseback under such a banner, they will definitely be discovered by the spies spread by Liangshan before they even touch the edge of the water in Liangshan. If they really think that we are here to annihilate them, that is not the case. It’s a joke,”
"Brother, what do you mean..." Guo Sheng asked.
"When Yan Shun and I go to report the situation first, you will come later and make three batches," Song Jiang said.
Hua Rong said: "Brother, I think you should take care of it in this way, so as not to cause trouble and accidentally hurt your own people. Brother, let's go ahead with Yanshun for half a day. We will supervise the people and then get up and start again slowly. Brother, you two, be careful all the way." After that, Song Jiang and Yan Shun took a few close guards with good skills and went down the mountain, heading towards Liangshan first.
Not to mention that the people and horses from Yingshan were setting off one after another, it was just that Song Jiang and Yan Shun each rode a horse and led a dozen or so people. They first went to Liangshan and traveled on the road for two days. At noon that day, they stopped walking. There is a wine shop next to Jianguan Road.
Song Jiang looked at it and said, "The children are tired after walking, so we asked them to go in and have a rest. We also bought some wine and meat to eat. It won't be too late for us to go after we have avoided the sun." Yan complied and immediately called to the people behind him. The guards all came down to rest.
Song Jiang and Yan Shun also dismounted and left the horses to the boys to tie up. Song Jiang took the lead and came into the hotel. Yan Shun asked the children to loosen the girdle of the horses, and then they followed them to the hotel to sit down. .
When Song Jiang first entered the store to take a look, there were only three large seats and not many small seats. He only saw one large seat. There was a man occupying it first. When Song Jiang looked at the man, he had a look on his head. Wearing a pig-mouth scarf, two Taiyuan Prefecture gold twisted wire copper rings on the back of the head; wearing a collared soap shirt on top, and a white collar around the waist; knee pads on the lower legs, and eight hemp shoes; leaning against the table, a short stick is placed across the head Wearing a clothes bag, he was eight feet long, had a face with yellowish bones, a pair of bright eyes, and no moustache. Song Jiang called the bartender over and said: "I have a lot of companions. Let me and you sit inside for a while. You call That guest, please change that big seat with my companions so that you can sit on the ground and drink some wine."
The bartender responded: "You little guy, just take care of it yourself."
Song Jiang and Yan Shun sat inside, and asked the bartender to get drinks first: "I will share the big bowl with my companions for three bowls each. If there is meat, I will buy some for everyone, and then come to my place to pour the wine."
When the bartender saw that dozens of men had come in, they were all standing in the wine shop. The bar was filled to the brim. The bartender looked a little pleased. This was the first time he had encountered so many businesses. He immediately came to the big man. Next to him, the gentleman-looking guest said: "Excuse me, sir, could you please borrow this big chair to sit with the companions of the two officers inside?" After saying that, the bartender reached out to the table in the corner next to him. Point to the table.
The man looked in the direction pointed by the bartender, and suddenly felt unhappy, and said anxiously: "There is also someone who comes first, who arrives first. Why should the companion of an official have to change seats? Why should they sit in the hall and move me to the corner?" Go, I won’t change,”
Yan Shun listened on the sidelines and said to Song Jiang: "Brother, you think he is rude, how about I go over and show him some color?"
Song Jiang waved his hand and said, "That's up to him. You are as knowledgeable as him," and then held Yan Shun down.
Yan Shun did not stand up to look for trouble, but what he said just now reached the ears of the man. The man turned his head and looked at Song Jiang. Yan Shun looked at him and sneered, while Song Jiang's guards followed him one by one. Holding simple knives and short blades twisted at the waist, they all stood on the ground stabbingly, blocking the hotel.
The bartender saw that this situation was not right, and hurriedly came to help the man. He bravely persuaded him carefully: "This good man, his power is the business of Zhou Quan, there is no harm in changing it."
The man was furious when he heard that. He slammed the table and shouted: "You guys and girls are so contemptuous of others. You bully me for being alone. They have to change their seats when there are many people. There are so many people. Even Zhao Guan's family, I also look down on him." , come again to disturb my drinking pleasure, this fist will not recognize you,"
