Outlaws of the Marsh

Chapter 153 The temptation is too great (please subscribe!)
...

After capturing Dong Ping and Zhang Qing alive, Li Yan really didn't know what to do for a while.

Let me talk about Dong Ping first.

Dong Ping's personality...

Li Yan, who also robbed civilian girls, really couldn't say that Dong Ping's character was bad, he could only say that Dong Ping was too ruthless.

After Song Jiang captured Dong Ping with a tripping rope, he only said a few polite words, and Dong Ping surrendered.

Many generals would say some conditions before surrendering, such as having their mother and family members, but Dong Ping did not, and immediately went back to "make money to open the city gate" and make meritorious deeds.

Its speed was so fast that even the city guards didn't know that this person had rebelled.

In addition to the record-breaking speed of surrender and rebellion, Dong Ping was also ruthless.

When Song Jiang caught Dong Ping, he only said a few words politely, and Dong Ping said, "That guy Cheng Wanli is Mr. Xiamenguan of Tong Guanmen. If he gets this beautiful job, how can he not harm the common people?"

With such a lame excuse, Dong Ping dedicated the city he guarded.

After leading Liangshan troops into the city, Dong Ping went to a private office, killed Cheng Taishou's family, and took away Cheng Taishou's daughter.

There are many ruthless characters among the generals of Liangshan, but I am afraid that none of them can be more ruthless than Dong Ping.

Li Yan is not Song Heitan, he is really worried about using such a ruthless person as Dong Ping, this guy is not as easy-going as Qiu Yue, Zhou Ang, Hu Chun, Cheng Ziming and other self-motivated generals. The goods do things entirely by mood, and it is difficult to control. The most important thing is that this goods are as easy to devour the master as Lu Bu, so it is too worrying to use.

From this point of view, compared with Song Heitan, there is still a gap between Li Yan and Song Heitan. He can't employ people like Song Heitan, who doesn't look at character but only looks at people.

However, considering that Dong Ping's martial arts are good, and he performed well after going up the mountain... In fact, the most important thing is that Dong Ping is very useful - he can open the door of Dongping Mansion for Li Yan.

It can be said that Li Yan was able to take down Jeju Prefecture, and was able to take down Jeju Prefecture with almost zero casualties. It can be said that it was all luck.

In the era of cold weapons, a solid and towering city wall is definitely a headache for all attacking parties.

And this Jeju Prefecture not only has a strong and towering city wall, but also a wide moat. In addition, the east gate, which is the main gate, also has an urn city.

(To explain here, the reason why the other three gates of Jeju City did not repair the Urn City is because the terrain environment in front of the other three gates is not suitable for large groups of troops to attack, only the terrain environment in front of the east gate is suitable for large groups of troops to attack, so The Urn City was only built at the east gate. The reason why Li Yan and the others attacked Jeju City from the north gate was because Li Yan never thought of attacking by force. From the beginning to the end, what Li Yan wanted was to let Qiu Yue and others deceive him. For the city gate, if Li Yan chooses to attack by force, he can only enter from the east gate with the urn city.)
Jeju City, which has so many defensive measures, is simply not something that the Liangshan army can capture at this stage. Even if it can barely capture it, at least 5000 people must be filled in.

Therefore, Dong Ping, who can help Li Yan open the gate of Dongping Mansion, no matter how poor his character is, Li Yan has to endure it for the time being, because the temptation of a mansion is too great for Li Yan.

Let’s talk about Zhang Qing again.

Zhang Qing's character, how should I put it, is actually not bad.

It's just that Li Yan always felt that Zhang Qing was in Cao Ying and his heart was in Han, not in the water and Liangshan, but just like Song Jiang, he was waiting for security.

In fact, it wasn't just Zhang Qing, but most of the imperial generals gave Li Yan such a feeling.

It is precisely because of this that Li Yan actually doesn't like them.

But still the same thing, if you want to conquer the world, you have to use the amount of people.

Moreover, although Zhang Qing's martial arts are average, if his flying stone is included, his strength is not inferior to Lin Chong and other five tiger generals.

In addition, like Dong Ping, Zhang Qing might be able to help Li Yan make money to open the gate of Dongchang Mansion.

For these reasons, as soon as Dong Ping and Zhang Qing were brought in front of Li Yan, Li Yan blamed Lin Chong, Bian Xiang, Qiu Yue, Zhou Ang, Hu Chun and others who had captured Dong Ping and Zhang Qing: "How can you treat General Dong and General Zhang?" How rude!"

While speaking, Li Yan personally untied Dong Ping and Zhang Qing.

Li Yan then apologized and said: "Don't blame the two generals, they are all reckless people. They don't know the heroes of the two generals, so they are so rude to the two generals."

Dong Ping said proudly: "I really don't accept my defeat. If it weren't for the inner urn of this Jeju city, you would have been defeated by me!"

Li Yan wished he could slap him, "You didn't check the terrain yourself, you rushed in recklessly, and you blamed the city of Jeju for repairing the Wengcheng, why don't you say let us all tie our hands and feet and wait for you to kill us?"

Although he thought so, Li Yan smiled and said: "Then what is General Dong's intention?"

Dong Ping looked at Li Yan and said, "I heard that Village Master Li is the best player in the world. I want to compete with Village Master Li. If Dong Ping loses, he will surrender immediately. There is no other way."

Li Yan said with a smile: "How can you trust the hearsay? Not only am I not the number one expert in the world, I'm not even the number one expert in Liangshanbo."

Dong Ping said: "Oh? Then who is the number one expert in Liangshanbo?"

Dong Ping's words posed a big problem for Li Yan.

Who is the number one master of Shuibo Liangshan?

This question is really difficult to answer, and it cannot be answered, especially not by Li Yan.

Therefore, Li Yan directly avoided this question, and then pointed at Lin Chong, Bian Xiang, Qiu Yue, Zhou Ang, and Hu Chun and said: "They are all my generals Liang Shanbo, you can choose any one of them, if you can do it within a hundred moves If I can win, I will let you 5000 people leave, how about that?"

A trace of unhappiness flashed in Dong Ping's eyes!
He thought Li Yan was belittling him!
Dong Ping smiled and said: "Okay, then I will learn the methods of Li Zhaizhu's masters."

Li Yan waved at them, signaling them to compare.

When they left, Li Yan looked at Zhang Qing and asked, "Are you surrendering now or after the results of their competition come out?"

Zhang Qing said in his heart: "I have to surrender? How do I look like a general?"

Although I think so, Zhang Qing is not a person who regards death as his home, and Zhang Qing is very confident in Dong Ping's martial arts, so after hesitating for a while, Zhang Qing said: "Let me see... look at the results of the competition between them ..."

Li Yan thought: "I still don't want to surrender."

Li Yan didn't say anything else, but drank tea, read the details of the purchase of large animals that Jiang Jing had just handed in, and waited for the results of their competition.

After more than half the time, several people came back together.

Seeing Dong Ping's blushing face, and Lin Chong and the others' faces showing no joy of victory, Li Yan knew the result of the competition.

It was useless for Li Yan to open his mouth, Dong Ping bowed in the tunnel and said, "That guy Cheng Wanli was originally Mr. Tong Guanmen Xiamenguan. If he got this beautiful job, he would not harm the people? If my brother is willing to let Dong Ping open the city gate today , the younger brother will dedicate the Dongping mansion to the elder brother."
