Song Qing saw that Song Wan was trying to please Song Jiang and showed his favor to himself, so he nodded and said: "Brother Song Wan is right, you can't write two Song characters in one stroke, brother and I are a family! Today's Friendship Brothers" Once it’s done, I’ll tell my brother to know about it in the future.”
"Brother, let's go! Don't miss the hour." Song Wan pulled Song Qing into the boat and sailed north.
Chapter 574 The Good Show Begins
In Dongping Fucheng, Ximen Qing was drinking and having fun with Wang Jun, Li Cheng, Suo Chao, and Liu Wu in his own restaurant, when he suddenly saw Lu Xiaoyi and Qiao Yun appearing outside the door of the pavilion, beckoning to him.
Seeing Ximen Qing, he immediately walked out of the pavilion and turned into the secret room of the restaurant together with Lu Xiaoyi and Qiao Yun.
Lu Xiaoyi instigated Fang La to rebel in advance in the south of the Yangtze River, and sent a letter to Wang Zhi and Huang Wenbing to tell them to take precautions in advance. After rectifying the army and horses and going south to grab merit, he rushed back to Yanggu County with his men, and together with Brother Qiao Yun conquered Liangshanbo for Ximen Qing Running around, gathering information.
When Ximen Qing saw his two brothers in charge of intelligence coming all the way, he knew that they had important information in their hands.
Sure enough, as soon as the three of them entered the secret room, Lu Xiaoyi said to Ximen Qing: "Brother Ximen, the gang of thieves in Liangshan Boli can't hold back, and they are going south to attack Jeju City!"
While speaking, Brother Qiao Yun handed a page of paper to Ximen Qing.
After Ximen Qing unfolded the paper and read it carefully, he smiled at the two of them and said, "Wu Yong is a good planner! This time, we have to throw a sumptuous banquet in Jeju City for Chao Gai and others! Brother Yun, you Go to Jeju City, and ask Huang Dujian to act according to my plan. Brother Xiaoyi, you first eradicate the tricks of the bandits in Liangshan in this city, and then go to the shipbuilding dock and wait for my arrival."
Ximen Qing called Lu Xiaoyi and Qiao Yun to his side, and after exhorting them carefully, he asked Lu Xiaoyi and Qiao Yun to leave first.Immediately afterwards, Ximenqing called Brother Jiao Ting, who had been waiting in the restaurant, to his side, and asked him to send people to Dulonggang on a flying horse, and asked Brother Hong Zhen, people from Hujiazhuang and Zhujiazhuang to take the team to Shouzhang County Council and.
After Jiao Ting also took the order to leave, Ximen Qing returned to the Nuan Pavilion where Wang Jun and others were drinking, and said to all the officers and generals: "Generals, the battle is imminent! Here is a toast to all generals, and I wish our army a victory!" "
……
In Shouzhang County, Dongping Prefecture, by the lakeside of Liangshan Po Dahu, the Dongping Prefecture Army has built a wharf and shipyard, and is building warships.The ones in charge of building the ships here were the Xiang army that Ximen Qing subdued in the original Dongping Mansion, and the two brothers Xu Wen and Wang Dingliu who Ximen Qing called back from Dengzhou led them.
In the shipyard, thousands of craftsmen are performing their duties, and they are busily breaking the shipped wood into planks, which are then used for shipbuilding.
"King Kong in the Cloud" Song Wan and "Iron Fan" Song Qing brought dozens of minions to Shouzhang County in a small boat, and parked the boat in a reed marsh two miles away from the shipbuilding wharf. .Song Wan and Song Qing hid in the reeds and went far away, only to see hundreds of people dragging logs from the mountains into the shipyard.
Around the wharf, there are rows of fences, with thatched factory houses built in front and back, and there are about three to two hundred rooms.Song Wan led Song Qing to sneak past, and when he climbed to a high place to look, he saw many craftsmen in the wharf and shipyard, some were sawing wood and unpacking boards, some were fixing bone nails to the boat, and the craftsmen and peasants were rushing back and forth. , hard to count.
Around the shipyard, hundreds of officers and soldiers with knives and guns are patrolling back and forth, monitoring the craftsmen and peasants at work.
When Song Qing saw it, he retracted his neck and said softly to Song Wan: "Brother, the officers and soldiers are so closely guarded, how can I sneak into the dock and set fire to it!"
Song Wan looked at the pier and the shipyard without looking back, and replied to Song Qing: "Brother Song Qing, it's okay! I will take my brothers to a secluded place ahead to intercept the next batch of timber, and tie up the people who are transporting it and sink them into the lake. Then, pretend to be a wood-carrying farmer, and carry the wood into the shipyard. Brother Song Qing, you are here to watch the wind and watch over our ships. At midnight tonight, I will take my brothers to set a big fire and put the The bird shipyard burned down, and then escaped in the chaos. Brother Song Qing, you are here to meet me."
After hearing this, Song Qing nodded hurriedly and said, "Just as my brother said, brother, I'm here to take care of my brother's back."
After the discussion between the two, Song Wan left ten young men to serve Song Qing, and he led dozens of his confidants out of the reeds and sneaked forward along a small path.
Not long after, Song Qing, who was hiding among the reeds, saw Song Wan and others driving an ox cart, pulling a lot of wood along the road ahead and walking into the shipbuilding wharf.
Song Qing waited in the reed marshes by the lake for half the night, seeing the waning moon hanging high, when it was about three o'clock, he suddenly saw a fire in the shipbuilding pier, the thatched cottage and several warships beside the pier were all ablaze The earth will burn, turning half of the sky red.In the shipyard, there was a constant cry of father and mother, and many craftsmen and craftsmen shouted at the same time, pulled over the row fences, and scattered to escape.
What a brother Song Wan, he really succeeded!Inspector Song Qing stretched his neck, looking excitedly at the burning shipbuilding dock.
Among the peasants who fled in all directions, a tall man led dozens of peasants to gather gradually and ran towards his hiding place.
Song Qing retracted his body, held his breath and hid in the reeds without saying a word. He heard the group of people running close, and a rough voice came to his ears: "Brother Song Qing, brother Song Qing! Are you still there? I am Song Wan, I'm back!"
This voice does not belong to Brother Song Wan!Song Qing could understand, so she stood up and waved to Song Wan.
Seeing this, Song Wan ran forward a few steps, and said to Song Qing: "Brother, hurry up! Brother, I have already succeeded! If you don't leave, the officers and soldiers are coming to arrest you."
After hearing this, Song Qing didn't have time to take a closer look, turned around and ran towards the reeds where the boat was hidden, and said, "Brother Song Wan is right, I'll go back to the cottage soon and report the good news to Brother Chao Gai and Brother Wu Yong." .”
Song Wan took dozens of his subordinates and boarded the boat behind Song Qing. They paddled vigorously and rowed towards the center of the lake in the dark.
In the darkness, the officers and soldiers on the shore could only be heard shouting to catch thieves, but this Liangshan Po was surrounded by reeds, where did the officers and soldiers go to find Song Qing, Song Wan and others?
"Bah! Dog officer, I will let you know the tricks of my Liangshanbo hero tonight! How can I provoke a Liangshanbo hero?" Song Qing stood on the bow of the boat, turning his head and cursing triumphantly at the shore.
In another reed marsh not far from where Song Wan and Song Qing hid their boats, Ximen Qing, Jiao Ting, and Xu Wen stood on the shore, watching Song Qing and Song Wan's small boats gradually go away.
Ximenqing asked Xu Wen: "Brother Xu Wen, are the warships built in the early stage safe?"
Xu Wen replied: "Brother Ximen, my younger brother has already followed your instructions to let the six Wang Ding brothers take the built boats to the north along the Jishui River and go to Dong'e County to pick up my Ximenbao army. What was burned was just a few unfinished ships to confuse the Liangshan bandits."
"Okay! After Chao Gai and Wu Yong are fooled and go south to Jeju, I'll take a boat and go straight to the Golden Sand Beach to capture the bandits' lair!"
Chapter 575 Song Qing's First Achievement
Liangshan is located in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, between Yunzhou Dongping Prefecture and Jeju, and is also the confluence of Wenshui and Jishui. It was called Zeguo in ancient times.
Liangshan Pond was formed in the Five Dynasties. From the Five Dynasties to the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the surging Yellow River had three major breaches. The rolling river water poured down to the foot of Liangshan Mountain, and connected with the ancient Ju Yeze, forming an endless large water pool, known as "Eight Hundred Ponds". Liliang Mountain Park".
There are green willows hanging down the banks of Liangshan Park, pink lotuses all over the ground, and water gulls flying together. The scenery is pleasant, and it is also called Little Dongting.Many literati in Tang and Song Dynasties came to Liangshanbo to go boating, drinking and composing poems.Su Zhe once left a beautiful poem in "Night Over Liangshan Po" to describe the beauty of Liangshan Po.
Since the Five Dynasties, due to the water injection of the Yellow River, the water surface of Liangshan Park has gradually increased. In the Song Dynasty, an [-]-mile water park with Liangshan as the center was formed.
It is precisely because of the vast waters of Liangshanbo and the criss-crossing of the port that it has become a place where dragons and tigers hide, and robbers and water thieves hide.
Chao Gai, Wu Yong and others gathered together, robbed the birth plan, and went to Liangshanhuo to annex Wang Lun. The [-]-mile lakes with beautiful water and rich fish are all taken as their own.The fishermen by the lake did not dare to go fishing in the lake, and the passing merchants no longer dared to pass by the lake by boat.
Now because the bandits at Liangshanbo pulled up the flag to rebel and attracted the officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress them, the surrounding area of Liangshanbo became a bloody battlefield.At this time, it is the fourth watch of the night, and although the old scene of "the moon rising brightly" is still on the surface of Liangshan Po Lake, it is rare to see the leisurely scene of "lying down and listening to fishermen's singing".
On the surface of the lake, there was indeed a sound of shaking oars, and more than ten small boats pierced the water, approaching Liangshan in the lake like arrows.
Those small boats were not fishermen fishing, but dozens of sturdy robbers.The leaders are Liangshanbo bandit leader "Yunli King Kong" Song Wan and "Iron Fan" Song Qing.
"Brother Song Wan, there is a golden beach in front of us. We are back!" Song Qing went out to carry out the sabotage mission of murder and arson for the first time, but it went extremely smoothly. A test for him.
At this time, Song Qing was so excited that he wanted to spread his wings and fly to the stronghold. In front of all the leaders, he said proudly to the military advisor Wu Yong in the Juyi hall: "Brother military advisor, I, Song Qing, set the fire on fire. The bird shipyard of the official army has returned unscathed!"
"Who is coming from the front? But Song Qing and Song Wan?" Song Qing was immersed in his reverie when he suddenly heard a question from a person in front of him.
Immediately afterwards, in the water village on the shore of Golden Beach, a few "Qi Dead Wind" lanterns were picked out with wooden poles, illuminating the lake in front of the water village.The lights shone on Song Qing and Song Wan at the bow of the ship.
"I'm Song Wan! Brother Song Qing and I are back! But Brother Meng Kang in the village?" Song Wan shouted at the top of his voice.
"Hahaha~ Sure enough, the two elder brothers have returned safely! Younger brother Meng Kang has been waiting here for a long time. The two elder brothers have worked hard this time, so hurry up with the younger brother. The military officer brother is waiting for the two elder brothers in Dazhai."
The gate of the water village was wide open, and the lights were all on. "Yufangan" Meng Kang came out with a group of young sailors, led Song Qing, Song Wan and others into the water village, and went to the golden beach.
After Meng Kang accompanied Song Qing and Song Wan to drink two cups of thin wine to relieve fatigue in the water village, some young men had already prepared soft sedan chairs and carried the two leaders Song Qing and Song Wan up to Liangshan.Meng Kang continued to guard the water village without mentioning it.
In the Juyi hall in Po Liangshan, Song Qing and Song Wan walked in, and saw Wu Yong, the military adviser who hadn't closed his eyes all night, waiting for news from them.
"Brother Military Advisor, we succeeded! The bird shipbuilding pier of the official army was burned to the ground by Brother Song Qing and I!" Without waiting for Song Qing to ponder over the words and accents, Song Wan, a reckless man, opened his mouth first.
"Two brothers, is there anyone injured?" Wu Yong, the military adviser, asked the two of them with concern.
"Those officers and soldiers are useless, how can they hurt us and other heroes! Today, brother Song Wan and I were ordered by the brother of the military division, and we selected fine men to go with us, pretending to be civilian men who transported wood, and sneaked into the shipyard of the officer. At the right time, set fires everywhere, burning big flames! The officers and soldiers are like headless flies, unable to take care of themselves, where can I find brother Song Wan and me?" Song Qing seized the topic this time and talked eloquently, as if the burning of the shipyard was He single-handedly planned the organization.
What a pity!The other leaders on the mountain were not there, so they couldn't see my majesty, Song Qing.When Song Qing was bragging about himself, he felt somewhat regretful.
