"Mr. Jinzi" Li Zhu took the lead and jumped over the ship with a sharp sword. He saw the dazzling sword flashing like a flying rainbow through the sun. The chests of the officers and soldiers who were protecting the ship with swords in their hands exploded.
A handful of dazzling blood came out. Immediately after Tong Wei, Zhang Shun also took out a sharp knife in his hand, and jumped over the boat. He raised the knife and dropped it, first stabbing the two Yuhou who were not afraid of death into the water.
Go inside.
The captain was so frightened that he was stunned, his face turned pale, and he squatted in a corner and huddled.
At this time, the green forest navy troops who came with them also jumped on the other two boats and robbed those official ships. There was a scene of fighting on the official ships. Some officers and soldiers saw that these robbers were very capable and definitely not
Ordinary bandits, even those Yu Hou who had some special skills, were no match for them. They were all so frightened that they did not dare to fight with the Green Forest Army, so they attacked and surrounded the bow of the ship, and some simply lost them.
Weapon jumped off the boat.
Shi Jin had already given the order, and not one of them escaped. Those who jumped out of the boat were shot dead in the water by archers on both sides of the river, and blood bubbled up from the water. Those officers and soldiers in the water
It sank.
Li Zhu stabbed all the way, and was the first to reach the cowering Taiwei Su. He grabbed the man by the collar and shouted: "Lieutenant, are you on your way to the road or off the boat?!"
"Go down (the ship) - go down (the ship)." Captain Su was so frightened by the bloody fight in front of him that he couldn't speak clearly.
In less than half a stick of incense, the three official ships were plundered and brought before Shi Jin. Most of the officers and soldiers on board were killed. They stripped the people of their clothes, tied them to stones and sank them into the river.
Wei received Shi Jin's boat.
When the trembling Su Taiwei saw Shi Jin, he quickly bowed and said, "If anything happens to the righteous man, it's okay to just say it."
Shi Jin looked at Taiwei Su who was prostrate at his feet and said: "I am not a righteous man, and you don't have to surrender like this now. You said that you are an official of the imperial court, so you must also know about the Green Forest Army!"
"Could it be that - you are - the Green Forest Army?!" Su Taiwei was shocked. There was no trace of blood on his face, and he looked increasingly pale.
Wu Yong waved his feather fan and said in a normal tone beside him: "Not only are we the Green Forest Army, I am Wu Yong, the military advisor of the Green Forest Army, and this man is Shi Jin, the commander-in-chief of the Green Forest Army!"
"Ah——!" After hearing this, Captain Su glanced at Shi Jin in front of him, his eyes suddenly darkened, his body went limp, and he passed out.
Li Zhu came up and pulled off Taiwei Su's clothes in two or two strokes. Seeing that Taiwei Su was so frightened that he fainted, Tong Wei couldn't help laughing loudly, so he put away the knife, fetched a bucket of water from the river, and poured water into it.
After spitting, he poured it all over his head and face. Lieutenant Su suddenly trembled and woke up.
Shi Jin waved his hand and said: "This is not the place to talk, take it away!"
At this time, Lieutenant Su was not allowed to go ashore. He was held hostage by two sailors on the left and right, so he had to leave the ship and go ashore. Du Xing pulled out a horse from the woods and took the Lieutenant away on his side.
Shi Jin and Wu Yong first called Luan Tingyu, Li Ying, and Hu Sanniang to escort Su Taiwei back to the city. Shi Jin and Wu Yong then got on the horse and assigned them to teach Zhu Long, Zhu Hu, and Zhu Biao to lead the three heroes on board.
The people and others packed up the incense, sacrifices, and gold bells and hung them all back to the city. Only Li Zhu, Tong Meng, and Zhang Shun were left behind, leading more than a hundred people to clean up the traces of fighting on the river.
Together with the captured ships, they returned to the naval camp outside the city.
The leaders of the group returned to the city. Shi Jin and Wu Yong dismounted their horses and entered the city, taking Taiwei Su to the Juyi Hall. Shi Jin and others sat down in the middle, and the leaders on both sides stood with swords drawn.
Lieutenant Su was not as self-reliant as Gao Qiu before. He knelt down and bowed four times. Then he knelt in front of him and asked fearfully: "I wonder what can be called the service of a commander?"
Shi Jin did not speak directly but asked: "After Song Jiang surrendered, where will his jurisdiction be?"
Taiwei Su reported back: "Song Jiang turned out to be a small official in Yuncheng. Because he was forced by corrupt officials, he had to gather in the mountains and forests as a last resort. He took refuge in Liangshanbo, waiting for the court to recruit him and contribute to the country..."
"Where is the jurisdiction?!" Shi Jin abruptly interrupted Su Taiwei's words and shouted: "Where on earth did you send my brother to! If you don't tell me, I will cut out your tongue so that you never have to tell him again.
come out!"
Taiwei Su was so frightened that the scene of blood loss suddenly appeared in his mind, and his tongue could not help but tremble. He hurriedly kowtowed and said: "I really don't know, I really don't know. Now, although Song Jiang has recalled him to the capital, Liangshan Chao Gai has threatened to kill him."
He then quickly offered 500 taels in the rivers and lakes to take his head. Therefore, the emperor personally appointed it, and everything was done in secret, without going through the hands of the lower officials, and the lower officials had no way of knowing about it!"
Shi Jin stared at Taiwei Su for a moment, then took a short breath and said, "I brought you here today because I have something to do. I want to borrow Taiwei's royal incense, ritual servants and golden bells to hang to Zhengzhou."
City, when the city comes down, these things will be returned together."
"The official is just offering incense according to the order, how can the city be breached by relying on the incense?" Taiwei Su asked in surprise and surprise. He was afraid that the city would be breached and the blame would be placed on him.
Wu Yong stroked his beard and said: "If you are willing to actively cooperate, there will be no violation on the Taiwei. If the Taiwei is afraid, there is a knife here and seven or forty-nine ways to die, so that you can escape."
.”
Lin Chong took the sword from the attendant's hand, pulled it out of its sheath, and threw it in front of Taiwei Su with a bang. The gleaming sharp blade shocked Taiwei Su and said quickly: "That's all, if the commander can use it,
Now, although you can use those royal incense and other things, and use them at your lower official's office, your lower official will try your best, but the success or failure depends on the sky. If something happens one day, don't bother your lower official!"
Shi Jin said: "I don't need you to come forward, and I don't need you to do anything. As long as you hand over your palm obediently, when the city of Zhengzhou is destroyed, I will naturally let the Taiwei return to the capital. At that time, you can blame me, Shi Jin, for everything."
.”
Lieutenant Su raised his eyes and quietly looked at the group of generals present. They were all looking at him with majestic looks. How could he dare to shirk? Although he didn't know whether what Shi Jin said was true or false, he had no choice but to agree.
Shi Jin asked people to invite Lieutenant Su to serve him delicious food and drink, arrange a banquet, hold cups and hold cups, and hold a banquet to thank him. We will not mention these for the moment. In addition to the big banquet, Shi Jin secretly selected people to come.
, he borrowed all the clothes worn by the people brought by the Taiwei. Among the Green Forest Army, he also selected a man who looked similar to Taiwei Su, shaved his beard, wore Taiwei's clothes, and pretended to be Su Yuan.
Jing. Shi Jin and Wu Yong pretended to be guest accountants, Li Ying, Du Xing, Zhu Long, Zhu Hu, and Zhu Biao pretended to be Yu Hou, and selected a hundred elite green forest sergeants, all wearing purple shirts and silver belts, with persistence.
The banners, flags, ceremonial staffs, and ritual objects were carried out, and the royal incense, sacrifices, and golden bells were hung; Lin Chong, Li Zhu, Shi Qian, and Kui Er pretended to be four guards. Le He and Wang Qing were in charge
He entertained the Taiwei and followed a group of others, setting up wine and taking care of the situation. In addition, he also sent an order to Sun Li's group army, which was temporarily stationed in Xingyang, to lead a group of troops, quietly approached Zhengzhou with all flags and drums silently, and prepared to seize the city. In addition, Lin Chong was taught to go to the place where he offered incense and prayed for blessings.
Meishan waits on him and only obeys orders.
Everyone had to be ordered to work separately. It is said that Shi Jin and others left Mi County with the sergeant disguised as the Taiwei, quietly disembarked at the mouth of the river, and went straight to Meishan Temple without reporting to the Zhengzhou Governor. Dai Zong went to report first.
The master of Zhiyuntai Temple and the ministers in the temple, etc. came down the mountain and waited by the boat to welcome them ashore. Incense, flowers, lamps, candles, umbrellas and precious canopies were all arranged in front of them. First, they asked the royal incense to be carried up to the incense pavilion, and the men in the temple carried it.
After carrying it, the guide hung the golden bell and walked forward. The master of the temple paid homage to the Taiwei and followed the courtesy.
As soon as the etiquette was completed, Wu Xuexuu said: "The Taiwei is sick all the way. Please bring the warm sedan up quickly." The people on the left and right helped the Taiwei get into the sedan until they rested in the Yuemiao official hall.
Wu Xuexiu, the guest accountant, said to the visitor: "This is a special tribute to the Holy Emperor. He holds royal incense and hangs a golden bell to make offerings to the Holy Emperor. Why are the officials of this state so arrogant and do not come to greet him?"
After hearing this, Guanli replied nervously: "I've sent someone to report it. I'm sure I'm on the way, and I'll be there immediately." Before he could finish his words, Benzhou first sent an official to lead sixty or seventy people in public affairs.
, each wearing thick armor and holding wine and fruits, came to meet the Taiwei. However, although the young man looked similar, his language was different. He had pretended to practice it twice in front of Shi Jin before, but he still couldn't speak in an official tone.
The dialect here is really strong, and now I can't speak anymore, so I just pretended to be sick and took a mattress to sit and lie down on the bed.
The official who came here saw at a glance that the banners, gate flags, tooth poles and other items were all made by the Imperial Household Office, so he had no doubt at all. The guest accountant hurried in and reported twice, then came out and scolded: "You guys
They are all officials of the imperial court. How come they don’t understand etiquette? Coming late is already a sign of neglect. Now, I sent you as a small promotion official and brought so many people here with swords and armors, but why?! What on earth is that?
intention!"
The official turned pale with fright, and hurriedly asked the officers and soldiers wearing armor to retreat outside the temple and wait, and said quickly: "These officers and soldiers are sent by Fu Yi to protect you..." Wu Yong dressed as a guest
The accountant didn't wait for the man to finish his explanation before scolding him. Without saying a word, he led him in and asked him to worship at the foot of the steps from a distance. The official was scolded by Wu Yong just now.
The lieutenant opened and closed his mouth and waved his arms and hands, but nothing could be heard. The officer's forehead was sweating, for fear that he would be blamed for his mistake again.
And just when the official was bracing himself against the pressure and racking his brains to guess what the gestures of the Taiwei's fingers meant, Shi Jin, dressed as a guest accountant, walked straight down and scolded the official: "Lieutenant.
I am a minister who is fortunate enough to be in front of the emperor. He has traveled thousands of miles away to pay incense here with the imperial decree. I don’t want to catch an illness on the road and not recover, so why don’t all the officials in this state come to greet me!”
The official kowtowed in fear and replied: "Although documents arrived in the state in the past ten days, there was no immediate report, so we missed the reception from afar. Unexpectedly, the Taiwei came to the temple first. When the officials of this state heard about it, they were all frightened.
Furthermore, the previous years were relatively peaceful, but who would have expected that in just one or two days, the ruthless Green Forest Army would seize two cities in the blink of an eye, and the flames of war would not only reach the boundaries of Zhengzhou
Coming up, even the city of Zhengzhou is in danger. Yesterday, we caught many Green Forest Army scouts. We are afraid that the thieves will be approaching the city in the near future. Therefore, the lower official is on the embankment on the city every day, so that the prefect does not dare to leave without authorization.
, I specially sent a small official to come and contribute a wine gift. The prefect then came to see me."
