Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

Page 358

After Ximenqing learned from Song Wanhe, the leader of the captive navy, that Wu Yong sent the navy to the lake in Juye County, Jeju to meet him, he asked the three of him to divide up and go south to the lake to "respond" to the Liangshan bandits who slipped through the net. fish.

I really didn't expect that guy Dong Ping to be so fateful, he was able to break through layers of barriers and escape to the lake!That guy also has a nickname called "Dong Yichuang", and he is indeed good at rushing into the army formation.It's a pity that no matter how capable this guy is, he shouldn't be an enemy of the official Ximen Qing!How many heroes on Liangshan fell into the hands of the officials of Ximen Qing!

Song Wan was full of emotions, pointed to Dong Ping on the shore, and introduced to Xu Wen the bravest hero in Liangshan Village.

"Brother Song Wan, I'll go with you to pick up Dong Ping and Wu Yong. Let me capture that bastard Dong Ping, and you catch that fellow Wu Yong." Xu Wen sneered and said to Song Wan.

After Song Wan heard this, he rowed two small boats with Xu Wenxian to the shore, and shouted to the shore: "Brother Military Advisor, the big boat can't dock, you go to brother's boat first."

Wu Yong and Dong Ping also happened to escape to the water's edge. Seeing Song Wan and Xu Wen's boat approaching, they didn't suspect it, so they drove their horses into the water and rushed towards the boat.

Song Wan asked General Wu Yong to pull him into his boat and immediately sailed away from the shore.He called out to the remaining robbers in the reeds on the bank: "Little ones, wait for a while, Brother Saijun will row a boat to pick you up."

On the other side, Xu Wen's boat also picked up Dong Ping, leaving only more than a hundred bandits on horseback complaining on the shore.

The robber, who didn't know how to swim, had to turn his horse's head and bravely faced the pursuers tremblingly.Some robbers who knew how to swim jumped off their horses, took off their armor, plopped into the water, and swam towards the big boat in the lake.

The two small boats carrying Wu Yong and Dong Ping were almost rowing to the side of the big boat, but the "big knife" Xu Wen and a few men around him suddenly shook the boat violently.Dong Ping was caught off guard and was shaken headfirst into the lake.

Xu Wen also plunged into the water, and poured water into the lake with Dong Ping.

Dong Ping is from Hedong, and he is not good at water at all. In addition, he is still wearing iron armor. After entering the water, he is no match for Xu Wen, a salt lord who grew up by the sea!Dong Ping didn't struggle a few times, but was choked half to death by Xu Wen in the water.Dong Ping, the majestic and majestic "two-gun general" with high martial arts skills on land, can only be manipulated by others in the water.

When Dong Ping was thrown into the water by Xu Wenhuang, Wu Yong in the other boat stood up in shock and asked with trembling knees: "Brothers Song and Song Wan, how can we attack Brother Dong Ping? We, we, etc. They are all brothers of our own family, why the fire?"

"Traitor! Do you still remember Wang Lun, a gentleman in white?" Song Wan drew out his sword and put it on Wu Yong's neck.

"You, you, you want to avenge Wang Lun?" Wu Yong was so frightened that his face turned ashen, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his heart, as if he understood.

You really can't bully honest people!After Wu Yong, Chao Gai and others went up the mountain, Qianglong suppressed the local snake. Relying on his many heroes and strength, he colluded with Lin Chong and killed Wang Lun, the old village owner of Liangshan, and took Wang Lun and Du Qian away. And Song Wanji's foundation.

Wu Yong always thought that Song Wan's personality was simple and his abilities were not strong, so giving him a respectful companion to the last leader would be enough to dismiss him. How could he have expected that Song Wan would care about his brotherhood with Wang Lun, and he would always be in love with Wang Lun? Swallowing his breath and waiting for the opportunity for revenge!

Song Wan's martial arts are not outstanding, but Wu Yong's martial arts are even more humble.Now that Song Wan and several confidantes are eyeing him fiercely, how dare Wu Yong make any attempt to struggle and resist?

Song Wan captured Wu Yong without knocking him into the water.

On the other side, "Big Sword" Xu Wenye and several of his seaside brothers fished the half-drowned Dong Ping out of the lake into a boat, and bound his hands and feet tightly.

On the big ship, Wang Dingliu commanded the navy to pick up Song Wan, Xu Wen and others aboard, and threw Wu Yong and Dong Ping on the deck.

Luan Tingyu and Suo Chao also chased them to the edge of the lake, killing all the robbers on the bank like chopping melons and vegetables.

After Suo Chao chopped down the last robber in front of him with one axe, he looked at the warship on the lake not too far from the shore, and shouted angrily, "Damn it! When I set up a net, I still let that traitor Dong Ping The thief escaped! I am so angry!"

Luan Tingyu had already seen Xu Wen and Wang Dingliu standing on the bow of the boat. He pointed his spear at the warship on the lake and said with a smile: "Don't worry, General Suo, that boat is the soldiers and horses of our Dongping Mansion! Pingdu will be captured without a fight!"

Suo Chao heard the words, and took a closer look, and sure enough, the flag of the Liangshan Army on the ship had been replaced with the flag of the Dongping Mansion Army.Several generals on the bow were waving to the shore.

"Haha! Brother Ximenqing is so scheming, but I am so tired! If I had known that he had planted a troop of troops in this lake, why did I chase after him so closely? Hahaha~" Suo Chao saw that all the robbers in the water had been captured, No one got away, and couldn't help laughing heartily.

"General Suo is loyal to serve the country and spares his own life. Brother Ximen and I admire it very much. It is General Suo who captured the bandit leader Wu Yong and Dong Ping." Luan Tingyu said.

"How can this be done! The officers and soldiers of all the states are fighting the enemy bravely, so that they can gather and wipe out this group of grassroots bandits. How dare I, Suo Chao, monopolize this great achievement?" Suo Chao put away the big axe, shaking his head like a rattle.

"In this case, let's wait and go back to Jeju City to rest, and wait for the military situation in Yuncheng County and Wenshang County." Luan Tingyu said to Suo Chao.

Not long after, Xu Wen, Wang Dingliu and Song Wan led the troops ashore, and handed Wu Yong and Dong Ping to Luan Tingyu and Suo Chao. They beat gongs and drums and headed back to Jeju City in victory.

Along the way, Xin Zan's Qizhou Army, Liu Wu's Laizhou Army, and Li Cheng's Daming Mansion Army were all sweeping the battlefield. In this battle, the [-] main forces of Chao Gai and Wu Yong in Liangshanbo were wiped out, and no one escaped.

After learning that the Dazhai of the Liangshan bandits was also captured by Ximenqing, Luan Tingyu knew that the general situation of the officers and soldiers in this battle surrounding Liangshanbo had been settled.

Almost at the same time that Wu Yong and Dong Ping were captured alive, Lei Heng, the "winged tiger" who was about to ambush the army's reinforcements in Yuncheng County, was ambushed by the army instead.

Surrounding Lei Heng were the Cangzhou Army of the "Beautiful Bearded Man" Zhu Ding and the Puzhou Army who came to aid him.

After Ximenqing learned of Lei Heng's movements, he transferred Xin Zan's Qizhou army from Yuncheng County in advance, and left the final decisive battle to the former brothers Zhu Dian and Lei Heng.

Some grievances and enmities have to be resolved by the person involved!

Chapter 584 Lei Heng's Regret

At the mouth of the Guangji River at the junction of Yuncheng County and Juye County, the "Winged Tiger" Lei Heng led his army to rush from left to right, but it was difficult to break through the siege of the government army that was several times larger than his own.

Leading the Cangzhou Army and the Puzhou Army to besiege Lei Heng were not only the "beautiful bearded man" Zhu Dian, but also the two brothers Zhu Long and Zhu Hu from Zhujiazhuang.

Ximenqing considered that the bandits and minions in Liangshanbo were more fierce and good at fighting than the soldiers of the official army, so he specially arranged for the two brothers of the Zhu family to bring an elite soldier to help Zhu Dian in the battle, so as to prevent the officers and soldiers from making mistakes and letting Lei Heng's army go. .

After accidentally falling into the ambush circle of the official army, Lei Heng was no match for four hands with two fists, and the strength of his troops was very different, so he was quickly defeated.When he fought and retreated, and rushed to the mouth of Guangji River by Liangshanpo Lake, the navy army that was supposed to meet here disappeared.

There is a big lake in front, and there are pursuers behind. The "Winged Tiger" Lei Heng is really in a desperate situation today, and it is difficult to fly with his wings.

After a fierce battle, there were only 500 minions left beside Lei Heng. Facing the officers and soldiers surrounding him on three sides, Lei Heng sighed and suddenly shouted: "Brother Zhu Dian, my younger brother is willing to surrender, don't Kill again! Big brother, little brother has something to say to you, please listen to what little brother has to say."

"Beautiful bearded man" Zhu Ting heard it among the officers and soldiers, and hastily ordered his officers and soldiers to stop attacking, and surrounded Lei Heng and others heavily.Zhu Tong rode his horse to the front of the battle, wanting to hear what Lei Heng had to say.

Lei Heng made his subordinates throw away their weapons and surrender on their knees, but he walked up to the crowd and said to Zhu Dian, who was in the army, "Brother, I have surrendered. Brother's loyalty and kindness back then have not been forgotten by me, but it is a pity that I have already given up." There is no chance of repaying the favor. Although Song Jiang’s elder brother’s order to frame my elder brother in Cangzhou is my younger brother’s fault. My elder brother knew that my younger brother had no choice but to go to Liangshan. He had no intention of doing evil. He just went up to the mountain. After that, people were in the rivers and lakes and couldn't help themselves. These days, they followed Chao Gai and Song Jiang's two brothers and killed a lot of people. Last time they captured Yuncheng County, the county magistrate and old Bai Yuqiao were all killed by the younger brother to vent his personal anger. I know my crimes are serious, and if I fall into the hands of my elder brother today, the government will definitely sentence me to death. Don't worry, I wonder if brother will listen?"

Zhu Ting and Lei Heng have also been friends for many years, and were even sent to Cangzhou for the private release of Lei Heng.It's just that Lei Heng, Wu Yong and others planned to kidnap and kill the small yamen of the prefect Du Chong's family in Cangzhou. .

Seeing Lei Heng's desperation at this moment, it's really a slippery step, and it's beyond redemption.Zhu Tong also sighed in his heart.If Ximen Qing hadn't broken through the conspiracy of Wu Yong, Lei Heng and others and rescued Xiao Ya Nei back then, I'm afraid I would have nowhere to go and be forced to go to Liangshan and fall into the grass!Then the downcast person at this moment is just Lei Heng!

Recalling the past, Zhu Tong's gratitude to Ximen Qing also deepened.But at this moment, what he was concerned about was what Lei Heng, the former brother, wanted to entrust to him.

"Hi~ Let's not mention the past! Lei Heng, what else do you want to tell me?" Seeing Lei Hengfu surrendering softly, the hatred in Zhu Dian's chest disappeared unconsciously, and it was inevitable for Lei Heng, a former good brother. There is still a trace of old love, but at this moment in front of the whole army, it is no longer possible for Zhu Dian to call the Liangshanbo rebels brothers and sisters.

"Brother Zhu, my younger brother deserved what he deserved today, but my poor old mother has been alone since then. If the government army does not capture Liangshan, the brothers on the mountain may be able to take care of my old mother for my younger brother. But this time the army conquered Liangshan. The situation is great, I am afraid that Liangshan will be destroyed sooner or later, and my old mother will eventually be helpless. My younger brother wants to ask my brother to help my mother when she is in trouble in the future, so that she will not starve to death on the street. If my brother If you can promise my little brother, I will repay you with a grass ring in the next life!" When Lei Heng talked about his old mother, he couldn't help but burst into tears, unable to control himself.

Lei Heng's words made Zhu Dian's heart ache.At this time, neither of them knew that Liangshan Dazhai had been captured by Ximen Qing, so Lei Heng still had this guess.Zhu Ting let out a long sigh and said to Lei Heng: "Lei Heng, your crimes should not harm your old mother. I promise you that I will take care of your old mother in the future."

Hearing this, Lei Heng wailed loudly in front of the two armies, and clasped his fists to Zhu Dian and said, "Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow Ah~"

After saying this, Lei Heng killed himself with a knife, blood spattering on the spot.

"Hey~ This Lei Heng can be regarded as a tough guy who dares to act, but it's a pity that he shouldn't have thrown himself into Liangshan to become a robber and ended up like this." Zhu Long rode to Zhu Dian's side.

"I'll take his body back to Dongping Mansion and hand it over to Brother Ximenqing and Cheng Zhifu!" Zhu Hu also stepped forward, staring at Lei Heng who was lying in a pool of blood.

Zhu Tong nodded, while commanding his subordinates to clean up the battlefield, check and arrest the robbers who had slipped through the net, set up camp, dispatched fast horses to Jeju City and Dongping Mansion to report victory, and waited for the new military order from the Dongping Mansion Camp.

While the sergeants were still busy, Zhu Dian, Zhu Long, and Zhu Hu stood on a small hill and looked towards the southeast direction of Jeju City, discussing and guessing the battle situation of Jeju City together.

……

In Wenshang County, Dongping Prefecture, "Jiuwenlong" Shi Jin rode on a horse with a three-pointed and two-edged knife, and led three brothers Zhu Wu, Chen Da, and Yang Chun. Looking at the battle group ahead, he said to the three brothers: Everyone supervised Tuo Da, our army has already gained the upper hand, and Li Ying, the 'Punching Eagle', was about to be destroyed, why couldn't he accept the challenge of Li Ying, and agreed to fight alone with him!"

"Shenji military master" Zhu Wu smiled and asked: "Brother, if Li Ying challenges brother, will brother fight?"
