"Brother Song Jiang! We are all incompetent, unable to defeat the enemy soldiers, causing my brother to suffer with us! This battle was lost at Zhujiazhuang. The way is not clear. It is not my brother's command error. Brother, don't blame yourself! "Jiang Jing took the lead in comforting Song Jiang.

As soon as Jiang Jing opened his mouth, all the leaders offered words of comfort one after another, taking the responsibility for the defeat on themselves.That Shi Xiu even knelt in front of Song Jiang to apologize, saying that she blamed herself for making mistakes in finding the way for tonight's defeat, and asked Song Jiang's brother to punish her.

Seeing the appearance of everyone, Song Jiang was secretly happy, and the pain on the tip of his tongue eased a lot.He struggled to get up, supported Shi Xiu with both hands, and said to him: "Brother Shi Xiu, don't do this! Brother, why did you ever blame you? If you didn't know the way to be laid off tonight, brother, I and all the brothers would be lost there. On Dulonggang. This battle is only due to the fact that there are too many cunning people in Zhujiazhuang. They even set up traps in the way of life, making people hard to guard against. It is not brother, you are not clear about the way. Brother has no fault, but tonight saved me And all the brothers, and be worshiped by Song Jiang!"

Song Jiang wanted to thank Shi Xiu as a gesture, how could Shi Xiu be favored by Song Jiang's worship?He hastened to support Song Jiang, looked at Yang Xiong, and said in unison: "Brother Song Jiang, I am willing to go to Dulonggang with my brother, and I will be ashamed today!"

Ou Peng, Deng Fei and other leaders also shouted in unison: "I am willing to follow Brother Song Jiang to kill Dulonggang again. I will be ashamed today!"

Jiang Jing went on to say: "Brother Song Jiang, I think that after the leader went up the mountain, all the food and clothing expenses were paid by the cottage, but I have not been able to borrow much money from the cottage. I feel very guilty. This time my brother took me down the mountain , is giving us the opportunity to make contributions, how can we not know? Jiang Jingbucai, is willing to assist my brother to take down that Zhujiazhuang, move the money and food from that Zhuangzi up the mountain, and make a name for my brother and all the brothers."

This guy Jiang Jing was originally the owner of the second village of Huangmen Mountain, and he played the role of a military adviser in Huangmen Mountain. Ou Peng has always obeyed his advice.The bandits from Mount Huangmen followed Song Jiang to join Liangshan, all because of his plan.Jiang Jing knew that the relationship between himself and Song Jiang in Liangshan was a relationship of both prosperity and loss, so he tried his best to protect Song Jiang's interests.

Jiang Jing's words hit the heart of these new leaders, and everyone's blood boiled with enthusiasm, saying that the defeat tonight was just a small setback.Now that the army is still there, after recharging their energy one day, they will enter the Zhujiazhuang, are they afraid of losing the army rations?

Song Jiang glanced at Jiang Jing approvingly, and said to the leaders: "The brothers of the family are all well-known heroes in the world, how can they be willing to be humiliated by the villagers of Zhujiazhuang? Brothers! Just now Song Jiang lost his composure, not because the brothers lost in the battle, but seeing that the army camp was destroyed, he was worried about the safety of the two brothers Du Qian and Song Wan, so he became anxious for a while."

Jiang Jing and others all admired: "Brother Song Jiang has a lot of loyalty!"

While everyone was talking, they heard a report from the young man, saying that the two leaders Du Qian and Song Wan had returned.When everyone looked at it, they saw Du Qian and Song Wan returning to the outside of the army camp with hundreds of remnants and some food on horseback.

When Du Qian and Song Wan saw Song Jiang and others, they rushed forward to report that after Song Jiang led his brothers into Dulonggang, he suddenly killed a group of people in the dark to rob the army stronghold.

Du Qian and Song Wan immediately led the troops to fight, but the opponent had a large number of people and a strong force. Two or three thousand troops came, and they couldn't resist the enemy.Not long after, the gate of the military stronghold was captured by the opponent, and the enemy soldiers rushed into the military stronghold continuously and set fire everywhere.

Du Qian and Song Wan had no choice but to lead the remnant soldiers to grab some food, fight and retreat from the back door of the army village, and escape the opponent's pursuit in the dark.After seeing the return of the Liangshan army led by Song Jiang, Du Qian and Song Wan led their men out of the woods where they were hiding and made peace with the army.

Song Jiang heard Du Qian and Song Wan's words, and saw that they brought back some grain. He was not worried but happy, and praised Du Qian and Song Wan.As long as there is this food, the Liangshan bandits led by Song Jiang will have a chance to breathe, and when they have to take down Dulonggang, what are these losses now?

Song Jiang immediately ordered Jiang Jing to count the people and horses together with all the brothers, cut down trees and build a stronghold, and prepare to regroup, and then compete with Zhujiazhuang.

……

After Song Jiang and others entered Dulonggang, it was not the people from Zhujiazhuang who came out from another way to attack the barracks of the Liangshan bandits, but Hu Cheng, Jiang Zhong and others from Hujiazhuang were acting according to Ximenqing's plan.

After breaking through the barracks of the Liangshan Army and wantonly burning and killing them to weaken the strength of the Liangshan Army, Hu Cheng, Jiang Zhong and others did not kill them all, and soon led the team to leave and returned to Hu's Village.

Although I don't know why Ximen Qing asked them to let them go, so as to give the Liangshan bandits a chance, but Hu Cheng, Jiang Zhong, Shi Yong and the others absolutely trusted Ximen Qing, acted according to their plan, and did not love to fight.

In Zhujiazhuang, the three brothers of Zhujia, who won their first victory, counted the results of the battle happily, and did not care about the reason why Ximenqing did not let them chase the Liangshan robbers and expand the results of the battle.It was because in the minds of the three brothers, Brother Ximenqing was already a god-like figure, so they couldn't help but follow him.

Luan Tingyu and Ximenqing stood on the tower of Zhujiazhuang, watching the three Zhu brothers return in triumph.Luan Tingyu asked Ximenqing: "Do you think that Liangshan bandit is newly defeated, will he surprise Dulonggang again tomorrow?"

Ximen Qing said with a smile: "Brother Luan, the news of Hu's Village has arrived. Brother Jiang and the others have burned down the military stronghold of the bandits in Liangshan, and most of the food and grass of the Liangshan bandits have been destroyed. Song Jiang and the others are now short of food and grass, and they haven't fully figured it out yet. The reality of the Pantuo Road in Zhujiazhuang is just a dilemma, and I will definitely not come to attack in a hurry tomorrow. I guess that fellow Song Jiang should visit Li Ying in Lijiazhuang first, and ask about my Zhujiazhuang. In fact, the two will ask Li Family Village for help and borrow some military rations. In the past two days, Li Family Village will have a lot of fun!"

Luan Tingyu laughed and said, "Your brother, this is forcing the Liangshan bandit to burn Li Ying, the 'Popping Eagle' from Li's Village! Whether Li Ying will collude with the Liangshan bandit will be known in the next two days."

Ximen Qing also laughed and said: "If that guy can't stand the test and secretly befriends Liangshan bandits, then the land and money of Li Family Manor will have to change owners, hehehe~"

"Ah Choo~" In the Li Family Manor, "Popping the Sky Eagle" Li Ying suddenly sneezed and woke up from his sleep.

After returning from travel, I saw that my friends are still supporting me, so I hurriedly updated a chapter first.

Chapter 328 The Dengzhou Gang Shows Up

"Where is my brother?"

In the prison of Dengzhou Mansion, a thunder-like sound suddenly sounded, which frightened the Jieji Baoji in the pavilion to tremble, and followed the sound to look towards the pavilion.

But he saw a woman with big brows and big eyes, fat face and waist, took out two shining sharp knives from her body, and rushed towards Bao Jie.

The person Le and that guy put in was indeed a villain!Bao Jiejiu groaned incessantly, and hurriedly escaped from the pavilion, avoiding the murderous obese woman.

He had thought that two prisoners with wooden shackles and a small jailer suddenly rushed out of the cell, bumping into the fleeing Bao Jieqi.The Baojie class was caught off guard, and was beaten by one of the round-faced, dark-faced prisoners, smashing his brain to pieces.

Seeing that Jiejiu was beaten to death by the escaped prisoner, the small prisoners in the cell were in a mess.Some brave ones came forward to arrest fugitives with sticks, but they were stabbed one by one by the fat woman, and three or five people had already been stabbed.The rest of the small prisoners uttered a cry, and scrambled one after another, scrambling into the cell.

The two prisoners called out affectionately to the fat woman: "Sister! If you don't come, my brother's life will die!"

The fat woman killed the prisoner and shouted to the two prisoners: "Xie Zhen, Xie Bao! My sister is here!"

When Song Jiang led troops to attack Zhujiazhuang, a group of good men were also making trouble in Dengzhou City on the northeast coast of Jingdong East Road.

The two men who escaped from the prison in Dengzhou Mansion were brothers from a family of hunters outside the city.The elder brother of these two people is called Jie Zhen, and the younger brother is called Jie Bao.The two brothers both use iron point steel forks, and they have amazing martial arts skills.The hunters in the state put his brother first.

That elder brother Xie Zhen was born to be over seven feet tall, with purple skin, thin waist and broad shoulders. He was nicknamed "two-headed snake".

The younger brother Xie Bao is even more powerful, also has a figure of more than seven feet, with a round face and a black body, with flying yakshas tattooed on both legs;His nickname is "Two-tailed Scorpion".It was his younger brother Jie Bao who beat Bao Jie to death with a flail just now.

The obese woman who came to rob the prison with two knives was Xie Zhen, the daughter of Xie Bao and her daughter, called "Mother Da Chong" Mrs. Gu, who opened a hotel at Shili Pai outside the east gate of Dengzhou City, and her family also killed cattle for gambling. , is also a local bully.

This Mrs. Gu is also good at martial arts, and usually three or twenty people can't get close to her.Her husband's name is Sun Xin, and his ancestor is from Qiongzhou, a descendant of a military horse.Because the parents were transferred to Dengzhou to be stationed, the two brothers made this their home.

Sun Xinsheng is tall and strong, and he has learned his brother's skills all the way, so he can make a few good whips; therefore, people often compare his brothers to Yuchi and call him Xiaoyuchi.It's just that although Sun Xin has learned a lot of skills, he doesn't still join the army like his elder brother Sun Li, but likes to make friends with the gangsters and hang out in the underworld.Since he married Mrs. Gu, the couple have occupied the ten-mile sign outside the east gate, doing some underworld business of killing cattle and gambling.

Because of his and his wife's high martial arts skills, Sun Xin's elder brother Sun Li served as a governor in the military camp of Dengzhou City, and Sun Xin made friends with many gangsters, so he and his wife's hotel and gambling house business started. It was so prosperous that none of the hooligans in Dengzhou dared to provoke him and his wife.

Mrs. Gu's black and white business is doing well, but she came to murder and rob prison, just because she rescued Xie Zhen and Xie Bao brothers who were framed by others.

Although Dengzhou City is facing the Bohai Sea in the north, there is a mountain outside the city. There are many wolves, tigers and leopards on the mountain, which come out to hurt people.Therefore, the prefect of Dengzhou arrested the Orion, and the government appointed a stick to limit the document to catch the tiger on the Dengzhou Mountain, and Lizheng's house in front of the mountain and behind the mountain also wanted to arrest the tiger. .

Xie Zhen and Xie Bao squatted on the mountain for several days, and shot a big insect to death with a bow and arrow.Unexpectedly, the tiger struggled in pain and rolled down the mountain into the backyard of Taigong Mao's house in the local area.

Taigong Mao was worried that he couldn't catch the big bug and couldn't make a job with the government. Now that the tiger fell from the sky, Taigong Mao immediately asked his son Mao Zhongyi to carry the big bug to Dengzhou City overnight to ask for credit.

Xie Zhen, Brother Xie Bao's nicknames of "two-headed snake" and "two-tailed scorpion" are not for nothing. Both of them are fierce-tempered people, and they will have disputes about everything.When they found out that the tiger they shot had been raped by Mr. Mao, they immediately had a seizure and beat up Mr. Mao's house.

It's a pity that Xie Zhen and Xie Bao were brave but not scheming, and were deceived by Mao Zhongyi, the son of Mao Taigong, and were captured by mistake.Mao Taigong went to Dengzhou City to sue his two brothers for robbery in the daytime, and through the means of his son-in-law Wang Kongmu, convicted Jiezhen and Xiebao brothers.

Taigong Mao relied on his wealth and power, and his son-in-law was Kongmu who was in charge of the prison lawsuit. He bought the notification mansion and the Baojie class in the mansion prison, hoping to end up with the lives of the two brothers, Jie Bao and Jie Bao.But he didn't expect that the two brothers Xie Zhen and Xie Bao were not ordinary hunters in Dengzhou, but people with relatives in both black and white.

Sun Li, the "sick Yuchi" under the jurisdiction of Dengzhou City Bing Ma Ti, is Xie Zhen and Xie Bao's aunt and brother.Sun Li's brother-in-law "Iron Babbler" Lehe is a junior in the prison.These two are Xie Zhen, relatives of Bai Dao in the officialdom of Xie Bao brothers.

Sun Xin, the "Little Yuchi" who opened a hotel and gambling shop outside the East Gate and colluded with the Dengyun Mountain bandits, was also Xie Zhen, Xie Bao's aunt and brother.And Sun Xin's wife "Mother Tiger" Mrs. Gu is Xie Zhen, the daughter of Miss Xie Bao, which can be said to be more intimate.Sun Xin and his wife can be said to be the underworld backers of Xie Zhen and Xie Bao brothers.

The relationship between Xie Zhen and Xie Bao in Dengzhou City is intricate, and how can Grandpa Mao handle it easily?

"Iron Whisperer" Lehe saw Xie Zhen and Xie Bao, and after they were arrested, they immediately rushed to the Shili Hotel outside the east gate to report to Sun Xin, Mrs. Gu and his wife.After Sun Xin and his wife learned the news that their brother had been framed, Sun Xin, who was accustomed to the behavior of heroes in the world, immediately proposed to rescue Jie Zhen and Jie Bao from prison, and found his good friend, bandit leader Zou Yuan and uncle Zou Run from Dengyun Mountain.

Sun Xin invited two cronies, one named Zou Mingyuan, originally from Laizhou;Zou Yuan learned martial arts well, had a strong temper, and refused to tolerate others, so the world called him "Chu Lin Long".

The second hero, named Zou Run, is Zou Yuan's nephew, but he is about the same age as his uncle.Zou Run has grown up, born with a first-class abnormality, and has a sarcoma on the back of his head; usually when he fights with others, when he gets sexual, he just bumps him head-on.One day, when the guy was having sex, he knocked down a pine tree by the stream. The people watching were stunned, so they called him a "one-horned dragon".

Zou Yuan, Zou Run's uncle and nephew are entrenched on Dengyun Mountain, gathering crowds to rob, murder and rob, but suffer from their weak power and it is difficult for the government to deal with them.The two of them had long wanted to join the bandits in Liangshanbo, so when they heard Sun Xin talk about the robbery, they immediately encouraged Sun Xin and Mrs. Gu to defect to Liangshan and join the gang after they were jailed.

Sun Xin and his wife were bold and reckless people, born robbers, after hearing Zou Yuan's proposal, they decided to go to Liangshan to become robbers without hesitation.Sun Xin even immediately thought of dragging his own brother, who was an officer, into the water.

Because of a dispute over a big bug, the Dengzhou bandit gang appeared.
