Chapter 127
Hu Yanzhuo visits old borrowed soldiers
In this battle, in addition to those whose hooves were lost, Liangshan gained more than 900 good horses. Hu Yanzhuo's hard-earned vests and iron armors all changed hands.
Most of the five thousand people captured before and after eating big fish and meat in Liangshan for a few days were willing to become thieves. Most of these people were trained hard by Hu Yanzhuo. If the border troops are not included, they can be regarded as elites.
It enriched Liangshan's combat power.
The rest wanted to let go, but they were afraid that they would reveal that Liangshan had acquired many heavy cavalry. Cao Cao and Chao Gai discussed with others and ordered them to go to the back mountain to open up wasteland and cultivate land. They agreed that in addition to food and accommodation, they would be paid ten guans of wages a year and three years.
When the term is over, let him go home.
Those people couldn't help but be grateful at the thought that they still had wages to earn. Although they couldn't help but feel homesick, they had no choice but to settle down and live in the mountains. As for whether they would have a good boy of one or two years old after they returned, they didn't dare at the moment.
Extravagant hope.
In addition, Song Jiang personally went to the rooms of Baisheng General Han Tao and Tianmu General Peng Qi, and talked with them for a long time. In the end, they agreed with each other. The two generals followed Song Jiang and came to Zhongyi Hall to pay homage to Chao Gai. Cao Cao then took the two top positions on Liangshan Mountain.
, located after Wang Aohu and before Kong Ming and Kong Liang.
Chao Gai was delighted to have Song General join him, and quickly arranged for people to go to Chenzhou to move Han Tao and his family to the mountains for reunion. As for Peng Qi, he was alone, and his feet were in the same house, which saved a lot of trouble.
In a day or two, all the chores were settled, and finally we entered the stage that Chao Gai and other heroes loved to see most - a big banquet and a whole mountain celebration.
The banquet rules on Liangshan Mountain are unique. On the first day, Chao Gai hosted a banquet. On the second day, Song Jiang hosted a banquet. On the third day, Wu Yong hosted a banquet. The seats were arranged one after another. It can be said that everyone is the host.
, everyone is a guest, they eat meat every day, drink wine, and when the wine is on their heads, they brag about their awesomeness, and everyone claps their hands, praising his awesomeness and bragging loudly, it is really endless happiness.
Cao Cao originally wanted to return to Yanggu, but he couldn't leave now. If you eat Chao Gai's banquet but not Song Jiang's, do you look down on Song Jiang? Even if you look down on him, even Wu Yong looks down on him? Anyway, as long as you have one meal,
You won't be able to escape from the following scenes.
Here in Liangshan, all the heroes were eating, drinking, and enjoying themselves, but there was one person who seemed to be alone and frustrated.
who?
The double whip is called Yanzhuo.
This guy was defeated in Yuncheng County and fled. He didn't dare to stop for a moment. He ran for three hundred miles in one breath and saw a county seat. When he got closer, he saw that it was Laiwu County.
Along the way, we were faced with a shortage of people and horses: a general with two whips and a horse gifted by the royal family. They were all covered in stinking sweat, and they were panting with their tongues hanging out.
Hu Yanzhuo looked behind him and saw that there was no pursuer. He thought to himself that since I have this horse, it would be difficult for a thief to chase me even if he had wings.
So he calmly dismounted, took off his armor and tied it to the horse, led the horse into the county town, and wanted to stay in a hotel, but he was short of money. As a last resort, he went to a pawnshop, took off his gold belt, and exchanged it for seven or eight taels of silver.
Go out and find an inn, let the waiter take the BMW to feed it, buy a few bowls of wine, and drown your sorrows alone.
After drinking two bowls of dull wine, he suddenly remembered a clear path: "Yes! Murong, the magistrate of Qingzhou, when we were all dandies, we met and had a friendship. Why don't I join him? His sister, Concubine Murong, has a lot of favors. Please pray.
He opened up the joints for me, so I can lead my troops to attack Liangshan to take revenge, so that I can make up for my mistakes."
The plan was settled, so I relaxed my arms and slept, and set off early the next morning. After a day's journey, before I reached Qingzhou, the sun was already fading, and the people and horses were very thirsty.
Quexi saw a wild shop, so he hurried over, fetched a bucket of water from the water tank, drank the horse, then tied his hand to the big tree in front of the door, took off his armor, took off the saddle, and put them all by the door. .
He went into the shop and sat down by himself, put his whips on the table, asked the bartender to bring him wine and meat, had a meal and a drink, and saw that it was already dark outside. He didn't want to walk at night for a while, so he called the bartender and brought some broken silver to him. : "I will stay here overnight to feed my horses, and I will leave early tomorrow morning."
The bartender said: "Guest, it's okay to stay overnight. There are only two difficulties. The first is that I don't have a good bed tent here. The second is that there is a Peach Blossom Mountain nearby. There are five to seven hundred minions on the mountain. I'm afraid they will come and cause trouble."
Hu Yanzhuo laughed and said: "I am a man who sends out troops and unleashes his horses, but there is a corner where I can fall asleep. As for Peach Blossom Mountain, have you seen my pair of whips? He will come with his whole gang, how can he defeat me ten thousand men?" Improper courage?"
After saying that, he asked the bartender to get some noodles to eat, then he heated water and burned his feet, led the horse to the yard behind the house, made a bunk in the shop, lay down in his clothes, and put his whips at hand. Then he fell asleep.
Around the middle of the night, the bartender was crying for his father and mother and shouting for Chuang Tianqu. Hu Yanzhuo stood up in surprise, raised his whip and rushed out, shouting: "Is there a thief coming?"
The bartender cried loudly: "The little man got up and went to the grass. He saw that the fence was overturned and my father-in-law's horse was gone. Look at the torches three or four miles away. It must be a horse thief."
Hu Yanzhuo came from Liangshan, but everything went wrong. Now his horse was stolen. He was so angry that he wished he could smash Peach Blossom Mountain to pieces with a whip.
I took a step forward and chased after him. I couldn't catch him in the dark, but I couldn't catch him. I chased for a while, and then I looked ahead. I saw a dark hole, and I didn't know where the torch had gone.
He shuffled back to the wild shop step by step, his eyes were hollow, and he couldn't help but shed a few drops of manly tears: "Oh, such a miserable life! This horse is a gift from the emperor, but losing it is a great sin."
The bartender was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see it, so he came up with an idea: "My lord, don't be discouraged. I'll go to the prefectural government office tomorrow to report it. If my lord, the magistrate, is willing to send officers and soldiers, he can get the horse back."
Hu Yanzhuo nodded after hearing this, worked hard until dawn, gave the gold belt in exchange for silver, and gave it all to the bartender. He hired him to use the pole to pick up clothes, armor, and saddles. The two of them walked to Qingzhou and came to the front of the mansion. , saying it was "an old friend from Tokyo is visiting." Magistrate Murong hurriedly invited him in to take a look, and was surprised: "I heard that the general captured the Liangshan Po grass bandits, how did they get to me? And in such a mess?"
Hu Yanzhuo sighed and told his previous story. After hearing this, Magistrate Murong comforted him and said: "Although many men and horses were killed, it was not the fault of the general. The thieves had many tricks and many fierce generals. He was originally a junior member of the imperial court. I have underestimated them. I have a plan, please consider it, General."
Hu Yanzhuo said hurriedly: "Young general, I am all ears."
Magistrate Murong rubbed his beard and said: "Brother, in Qingzhou, there are many grass bandits invading. Originally, a strong general could suppress them, but this person did not imitate his lesson and became a bandit. The general might as well lead the army and horses of this state to attack Peach Blossom Mountain. The grass bandits in Erlong Mountain have recaptured their royal horses and have made great contributions to them, so I can go up to the general to plead my case, and then ask my sister-in-law to say some kind words. If the Holy Heart feels pity, I can teach the general to lead his troops to take revenge."
After Hu Yanzhuo heard this, he was grateful and said, "I am deeply grateful to you for your kindness and kindness, and I will swear to die in repayment." Magistrate Murong then asked Hu Yanzhuo to go and rest for the night, and asked him to reward the bartender with the money and ordered him to go back.
After staying for three days, Hu Yanzhuo had regained his strength and spirit. Magistrate Murong sent him some 2,000 horse infantry troops to lend him, and also lent him his own green-maned horse to ride on.
Hu Yanzhuo saluted and thanked him, mounted his horse, and led the two thousand troops to Peach Blossom Mountain with great momentum.
It is said that there are two kings in Peach Blossom Mountain. The first one is "Tiger Fighting General" Li Zhong, and the second one is called "Little Overlord" Zhou Tong. Previously, some gangsters stole horses and returned to the mountain. Seeing that these two were BMWs, I couldn't help but We were in high spirits and celebrating for days. Unexpectedly, great joy led to sorrow. Suddenly, a group of men came to report on the road: The Qingzhou army and horses are coming!
That Zhou Tongxiong stood up boldly and said: "Brother, don't worry and drink, wait for the younger brother to retreat the officers and soldiers."
After that, he ordered a hundred capable men, wielded a green spear, rode a black horse, and went down the mountain with great momentum.
When the two armies met, they formed a formation at the foot of the mountain. Hu Yanzhuo rode out first and shouted: "The strong thief is still unchained, please give me back my BMW!"
Zhou Tong laughed and said: "Since you know that I am a strong thief, why are you asking for a horse from me? Forget about gossiping, my name is "Little Overlord" Zhou Tong, and if his subordinates do not kill unknown generals, you will avenge your life first, and then come and take it. die."
Seeing his sonorous words and looking forward to Zixiong, Hu Yanzhuo couldn't help but take a closer look: This Zhou Tong was also wearing no armor, only wearing a gorgeous dress with flowers and palace brocade. He was tall and broad-faced, with broad shoulders and long arms. He really looked like the majestic king of Chu back then!
He couldn't help but beat the drum secretly: "Zhou Tong looks like this and is also called the Little Overlord. Doesn't he have the courage of Xiang Yu? Even if he is not as good as him, he is definitely not inferior to Sun Ce in the late Han Dynasty! Hey, how can I have such a hard life? I have practiced hard in the cold and summer. With this martial arts, I expected to have a bright future, but unexpectedly, I found enemies everywhere along the way."
He refused to show weakness and sneered: "What a little bully, I haven't heard of you! This general is a direct descendant of the founding iron whip king Hu Yanzan, who is also known as the Double Whip Hu Yanzhuo."
Zhou Tong laughed loudly: "Okay! You are the queen of a famous family. Killing you will not disgrace the floating green sinking gun in my hand! You should die!"
With a loud shout, the horse charged out.
Hu Yanzhuo took a deep breath and secretly said cruelly: "If I can't defeat him, I will die here!"
In an instant, the two horses clashed, Hu Yanzhuo whipped up like a wild thunder, and hit Zhou Tong with several whips, causing Zhou Tong's tiger's mouth to bleed. He screamed repeatedly, flicked the horse's head, and fled up the mountain.
Hu Yanzhuo never expected that this dignified little overlord turned out to be a parallel importer! He won so easily. He was stunned for a moment before he realized: "That's it, I was killed by those people from Liangshan. It's not like he is so skilled." , is what people in the green forest should mean!"
In an instant, the long-lost self-confidence came back like a tide, and he shouted: "Where are you going!" and Sama gave chase.
Zhou Tong looked back and saw him chasing after him. His liver and gallbladder were split, and he shouted: "My friend, if you are not afraid of an ambush, come and chase me!"
These words sound familiar!
Hu Yanzhuo frowned, feeling that this matter was not simple! Then he remembered that Lin Chong had said the same thing when he pretended to be defeated. His heart was shuddered, and he immediately stopped chasing.
Zhou Tong got his life and fled back to the village. He immediately ordered his minions to close the gate of the village tightly and roll logs and stones. He was ready at any time. He quickly found Li Zhong, stretched out his bloody hands and cried out in pain: "Old dog Murong didn't know where to find someone." General, you are really extravagant! He wielded two bronze whips and almost killed my younger brother when they met each other. Brother, I am no match for the two of us. If he attacks the mountain, what should we do?"
After hearing this, Li Zhong was frightened, thought for a moment, and said decisively: "Since it is so powerful, it is unthinkable, so I had to write a letter and ask people to climb down from the back mountain and rush to Erlongshan Baozhu Temple.
Please ask the flower monk and the green-faced beast to come here to save his life."
Zhou Tong was surprised when he heard this and said: "Have you forgotten that the great monk beat me hard? We were magnanimous and kindly invited him to drink, but he took away many gold and silver wine vessels. This guy didn't let you and me take notice at all.
Here, how can you come to help?
Li Zhong waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I know this monk well. He is a good and upright person. He hates being bullied. As long as I send you a message here asking for help, he will definitely come."
After that, he called for paper and pen, hurriedly wrote a letter, asked a confidant to hide it in his arms, slowly climbed down the back mountain, and rushed to Erlong Mountain to ask for help.
There are different teachings: Fang made the tigers in Liangshan angry, and also attracted the two dragons from the state capital. He worked hard for half his life to achieve a unique skill, and he only wished he could succeed in his talent.
