Chapter 240: The Three Heroes of the Ruan Family Fight for Righteousness
Chapter 240 The three heroes of the Ruan family acted righteously, Wu Erlin responded to the fire and defeated Wang Lun
After a long journey and changing horses countless times, Li Yunze, Zhang Zhenniang and Jin'er finally returned to Qinghe County.
I didn't go to the house in the county town, because there were so many people and so many eyes. Instead, I went to the other house in the dyeing shop outside the south gate, where Meng Yulou originally lived.
Lin Chong also lived here quietly before, hiding his whereabouts. He was very anxious all day long in seclusion, just waiting for Li Yunze to come back.
Now Li Yunze is finally back, and he has brought his wife with him.
"Lady!?"
"Official?!"
"Lady!"
"Official!"
The couple, who were originally separated forever, reunited again with the help of Li Yunze, and their excitement was undoubtedly beyond words.
"Ahem." Li Yunze, who was still on the horse, rudely interrupted the romantic drama in front of him, "It's a good time for you to rest. I have to hurry up and leave first."
Lin Chong, who looked excited, stepped forward and grabbed the reins, his face full of gratitude: "Junior Brother."
"If you have anything to say, wait until I come back." Li Yunze waved his hand, gesturing for him to let go of the reins. "Don't go out if you have anything to do. Wait until I come back."
After saying that, he turned the horse's head and headed straight for Shijie Village next to Liangshan Po with a shout.
Lin Chong and the others definitely cannot stay in the county seat. Li Yunze's layout has not been completed yet, so now is not a good time to directly raise the flag.
As for where to go, Li Yunze had already arranged it for him.
He hurried to Shijie Village and inspected the so-called navy formed by the three brothers of the Ruan family.
In fact, there are only a hundred or so local fishermen, plus a dozen small and broken fishing boats.
Obviously, most of the money Li Yunze gave them before was not spent on this.
But it doesn't matter, Li Yunze's real purpose is not here.
"well done."
After the inspection, Li Yunze praised him against his will, and then took out a large sum of money and handed it to the three uneasy brothers, "Continue to expand the navy, follow me and work hard in the future. I will never treat you badly."
The three brothers were overjoyed. After taking the money, they saluted and thanked them repeatedly, and patted their chests to express their loyalty.
Li Yunze has long seen through that the brotherhood of Liangshan heroes is not worth mentioning in the face of interests, otherwise he would not have been clamoring for recruitment all day long.
Chao Gai thought he could poach himself based on his reputation, but he didn't know if he drank too much fake wine.
There is no money or food these days, so just relying on your face is useless.
Not to mention Chao Gai, Zhao Ji, an official of the Song Dynasty, did not have such a great reputation, otherwise he would not have the shame of Jingkang.
Li Yunze came and went in a hurry. After showing his face in Shijie Village with his people, he left in a hurry.
The three Ruan brothers waved hello to Li Yunze's leaving figure, their faces full of gratitude.
When the people and horses disappeared, they looked down at the baggage filled with money at their feet, and their eyes shone brightly.
"In the past, at Brother Chao Gai's place, the most we could do was drink and eat, and get some free money." Ruan Xiaoqi, holding the money, couldn't hide his joy, "It's not like a military general, spending so generously! We will do it in the future.
Just follow him and work hard!"
"Yes, yes." Ruan Xiaowu nodded repeatedly, "And the generals and soldiers are very good. We did this to fool him, and he didn't care."
Only Ruan Xiaoer frowned, "Don't say that about Brother Chao Gai. After many years of brotherhood, how can you switch sides just because of General Wu's temporary benefits?"
In the words of the modern world, 'long-lasting companionship is lost to momentary emotion'.
Chao Gai's wine, meat and pocket money were like daily necessities of food, rice, oil and salt.
And Li Yunze's lavish spending is like a girl who can't close her legs when she meets a rich man who is willing to spend money.
From the perspective of Ruan Xiaoer, who is the oldest and has the most experience, a nouveau riche like Li Yunze will never grow up and will throw away his brother at some point, so his old friend Chao Gai is still reliable.
The young Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi are naturally more inclined to the generous Li Yunze. After all, girls usually have little resistance when faced with rich and handsome men who are willing to spend money and smile.
Of course, in the short video, those girls who were abandoned by rich and handsome men after clearing the level and then ran back to beg their ex-boyfriends to take over, can be described in one word:
‘Deserve it!!!’
At this time, Ruan Xiaowu rarely said something fair, "Anyway, General Wu is so loyal, so naturally we will repay him."
Hearing this, Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaoqi nodded in unison, agreeing very much with this.
If you get something and benefit from it, of course you have to give something in return. There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world.
Originally, the Ruan brothers thought they had nothing to repay Li Yunze, but more than ten days later, several people came to Shijie Village on horseback to find out the news about Li Yunze.
The visitor spoke with a Tokyo accent and looked arrogant, clearly someone from the government.
The first thing I did was to arrogantly ask someone to come over and ask, and the question was about Wu Erlang in Qinghe County.
To be able to stand out in Shijie Village and be recognized by people like Chao Gai, the Ruan brothers are certainly not stupid.
They first pretended to flatter, and first learned the ins and outs of the matter from these people with Tokyo accents. They learned that Wu Erlang had a grudge against Gao Taiwei, and they were Gao Taiwei's people. They came here to find evidence.
Hateful.
After understanding this, the three Ruan brothers quickly decided to help.
After eating fish and drinking wine, they got these guys from Bianliang City in Tokyo drunk, and then put them on a fishing boat and drove to the depths of Liangshan Bo.
‘Plop~Plop~~’
Everything returned to peace.
There are countless bandits these days, and bandits are everywhere. It is completely normal for people in the government to disappear for no reason.
Ruan Xiaoqi made a special trip to Qinghe County and informed Li Yunze of the matter mysteriously.
Naturally, Li Yunze would not treat him badly. Not only did he entertain him well in the Lion House, but he also stuffed Ruan Xiaoqi with a large bag of local specialties before leaving.
On the way back to Shijie Village, Ruan Xiaoqi laughed like a pig while holding the heavy "local specialties" in her arms.
"What a good man."
After Ruan Xiaoqi left, Lin Chong, who learned the ins and outs of the matter, went to Li Yunze worriedly and said, "Junior brother, I am the one who has caused you trouble."
"What are you talking about?" Li Yunze waved his hands in a funny manner, "You and I are brothers, and your business is my business."
Lin Chong was so grateful that he was about to cry again.
"Okay." Li Yunze patted his shoulder and comforted him, "Don't think so much, I will sort things out."
"Junior brother." Lin Chong grabbed him and said with a sincere expression, "Lieutenant Gao will not give up easily. Everyone in the world knows that we are the only ones who can go to Bianliang City to kill that scumbag. We are the only ones who can go to Bianliang City and master. His
People will definitely come again, if they find it then
If you leave me and my wife, it will definitely hurt you. I'd better leave, so that you won't be hurt."
"I said, leave everything to me." Li Yunze nodded, "Believe me, I can handle it."
Li Yunze kept his word, and a few days later a messenger came from Bianliang City in Tokyo, delivering the Privy Council's order.
The Privy Council ordered Li Yunze to exterminate the water bandits in Liangshanbo.
The military power of the Song Dynasty was controlled separately. For example, the imperial guards were led by the Sanya Taiwei, and all war matters were left to them.
But who to fight and how to fight is left to the Privy Council.
Anyone who dares to launch an army without the order of the Privy Council will be punished as treason.
Of course, Li Yunze knew that letting Lin Chong go was a hidden danger in Qinghe County, and he would be easily caught by Gao Qiu's people.
So he had already arranged an escape route for Lin Chong, which was to go to Liangshan!
The order from the Privy Council was obtained through the same method as Lieutenant Chen Zongshan.
Of course, it would definitely not be said that "I am preparing for rebellion", but in the name of wanting to gain military glory by suppressing bandits.
Chen Zongshan is a very responsible person. He will definitely help with things after receiving money. He is definitely professional.
Li Yunze acted very quickly after receiving the order.
He mobilized his troops to assemble and move closer to Liangshanbo.
When they gathered at the edge of Liangshan Mountain, Chao Gai also came with a hundred people to join the group, as well as the navy of the three Ruan brothers.
Said to be a navy army, in fact it was just a matter of gathering all the fishermen in Shijie Village.
Hundreds of strong men on the water and more than a hundred fishing boats gathered together, which looked quite impressive.
"General."
Chao Gai found an opportunity to talk to Li Yunze alone: "Wang Lun, the master of the village in Liangshanbo, a scholar in white, asked me to send a message to the general."
"Huh?" Li Yunze raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Say."
"Wang Lun said that he is willing to make friends with the general." Chao Gai lowered his voice and raised a few fingers. "He is willing to give this number to ask the general to stop his troops."
"Heh~~~"
Li Yunze sneered, "Liangshanbo is causing nuisance to the surrounding areas and harming the people. How dare such a villain come to me to plead for mercy? Tell him to wash his neck and wait for death!"
"General." Chao Gai was unwilling to persuade him again, but was glared back by Li Yunze.
The most important thing to attack a village in a geographical environment like Liangshanbo is the navy.
Because Liangshan is surrounded by water, if there is no powerful navy, even if you bring an army of 100,000, you can only stare from the shore.
This is also the reason why Li Yunze has been working hard to win over the three Ruan brothers.
In the realm of Liangshan Bodi, there is no one more powerful naval force than the three brothers of the Ruan family.
On the first day of the war, the three Ruan brothers, with hundreds of fishermen, successfully defeated the navy in Liangshanbo and took control of the sea.
The next day, a large number of ships carrying many soldiers landed at Liangshan.
After landing, the Liangshan bandits in frontal combat were no match for the regular army, even if this regular army was only recruited and trained by Li Yunze for several months.
Again, if the soldiers of the Central Plains Dynasty are fully paid, no one can beat them.
If you deduct food and pay and drink the blood of the soldiers, and enslave the soldiers to work to make money for the generals, then no one can defeat them.
Moreover, the equipment of Li Yunze's new army is extremely sophisticated. They are all sophisticated equipment and weapons sent from the arsenal of Bianliang City.
The armor coverage rate even reached over 70%, and there were hundreds of strong men wearing heavy infantry armor!
There are brave and brave warriors in the front, powerful crossbowmen in the back, and fierce men like Li Yunze personally holding down the battle line. The result of the fierce battle is self-evident.
The mob on Liangshan Mountain was easily wiped out.
And because the three Ruan brothers have the berthing rights of Liangshan Bo, they can't escape even if they want to.
One of the leaders on the mountain, Yunli King Kong Song Wan, was killed on the spot.
The other leader touched Tian Duqian, but after escaping into the water, he was knocked off the boat and drowned.
The big leader Wang Lun, a scholar in white, and Zhu Gui of Dry Land were captured alive, and Liang Shanbo's power was wiped out.
Wang Lun was then escorted to Bianliang City, but Zhu Gui took advantage of the chaos and escaped without a trace.
After some time, Chao Gai sent people to Liangshan, intending to use this place as a foundation site, but he never thought that this place had already been occupied in advance.
And the hero who occupies Liangshan is none other than Lin Chong!
