Water Margin people

Chapter 523
"Sun Yingxiong, this is the map of Dulong Mountain. All the traps under the mountain have been marked."

Du Xing quickly took out a map and handed it over, which marked the traps on Dulong Mountain in detail.

"anything else?"

Sun Lei didn't take the map, but asked Zhu Wu to take it, while he looked at Du Xing and continued to ask.

"Also... our two villages are willing to help Sun Yingxiong."

Du Xing said with a guilty conscience.

"How to help? Watching the flag-waving and shouting?"

Sun Lei sneered, his army had already reached the bottom of the mountain, and the Li family and the Hu family were still trying to fool them, so they were courting death.

"This... the two of us are willing to provide Sun Yingxiong with all the food, grass and money that the army needs for this battle!"

Du Xing bowed his head and said wretchedly, this condition was only thought of by Li Ying after weighing it over and over again. Although it hurts a bit, Sun Lei's [-] soldiers eat horse chews, and their food and grass are a big expense.

But this is the only way they can help Sun Lei without getting too involved with Sun Lei. If the government comes to ask afterward, they will say that the robbers took it away, and the government will have nothing to say.

"Food and payment?"

Sun Lei narrowed his eyes and looked at Du Xing, Li Ying's calculations were loud enough, and he wanted to get rid of himself if he gave him some money and food.

"If I take your Lijiazhuang down, won't all the money and food be mine? Why pass it over to you?"

Seeing that Du Xing didn't answer, Sun Lei waved his horsewhip, and there was a crisp sound of "click", which made Du Xing jump in fright, and then he opened his mouth.

"Sun Yingxiong, our Lijiazhuang is sincerely cooperating with Liang Shanbo."

Du Xing quickly explained.

"Cooperate sincerely or take advantage of it sincerely? I don't see where your sincerity lies. On the one hand, you want to cooperate with me, and on the other hand, you don't want to offend the government. You can't offend both sides, and you can still get benefits. How can such a cheap thing in the world?"

Sun Lei directly exposed Du Xing's lie. There was no sincerity, but he was just full of thoughts.

"This……"

The purpose was revealed, and Du Xing didn't know how to answer.

"How dare you come here to deceive my brother."

Feng Tai grabbed Du Xing and shouted, Feng Tai was tall and strong, but at this moment Du Xing was picked up like a lamb.

"Go back and tell Li Ying that there is no such thing as taking advantage and not losing money in this world, let him make a choice quickly, otherwise I will treat him and Zhujiazhuang as a gang and clean up together."

Sun Lei looked at Du Xing and said.

"roll!"

Feng Tai threw it casually, and directly threw Du Xing flying seven or eight zhang away. Fortunately, Du Xing was also a little skilled, so he landed and rolled a few times, lost his strength, and was not injured.

Du Xing got up and hurriedly ran towards Dulong Mountain. He didn't take the main road this time, but took a short cut path. This is a secret path opened by Lijiazhuang himself, and it can't be used until life and death.

"Brother, these people really don't know how to live or die!"

Teng Jian looked at Du Xing's leaving back full of murderous look and said.

"They'll make a choice."

Sun Lei said with a smile.

The army soon arrived at the foot of Dulong Mountain, and the whole Dulong Mountain was so quiet that even the birds could not be seen.

"Interesting, this is turning this mountain forest into a dead place."

Sun Lei looked at the forest in front of him and said, this time Dulong Mountain is full of murderous looks just by looking at it, it is much more dangerous than the last time.

"Brother, shall we start attacking the mountain now?"

Shi Jin looked at Sun Lei and asked.

"Don't worry, it's getting late, it's not wise to attack the mountain at this time."

Sun Lei shook his head. Dulong Mountain is difficult to recognize due to the miscellaneous roads. The mountain roads vary in width and narrowness, and dense forests are everywhere. Even with a map, it is impossible to go up the mountain at night.

"Camp camp!"

With a wave of Sun Lei's hand, the whole army began to set up camp.

……

On Dulong Mountain, Luan Tingyu squinted and watched all this.

"Don't you attack directly?"

Luan Tingyu frowned and looked at the military camp gradually built down the mountain.

"Teacher Luan, this mountain forest has become a deadly place, and even farmers dare not enter it easily. Sun Lei can't attack it."

Zhu Chaofeng looked at the gloomy Luan Tingyu and said that he was very confident in this defense.

"It's just a forest. If Sun Lei sets fire to it, the entire Dulong Mountain will be reduced to ashes."

Luan Tingyu shook his head while pointing at the forest below. This is indeed a good barrier, but it also has obvious flaws.

"Set it on fire! How dare Sun Lei do that!"

Zhu Chaofeng was terrified. If there was a big fire, no one in Dulong Mountain would be able to escape.

"These are thieves. Does the owner expect thieves to be benevolent and moral?"

Luan Tingyu shook his head and said, Zhu's family is very ambitious, and has always wanted to rely on the power of the village in exchange for an official status, so as to make a fortune.

Luan Tingyu also strongly agreed with this idea when he first came to Zhujiazhuang. Zhujiazhuang has thousands of farmers, and Lijiazhuang and Hujiazhuang have nearly 2 farmers. They really have this strength.

But with the expansion of the strength of the Zhu family and the rise of the nearby Liangshan, the Zhu family came up with the idea of ​​Liangshanbo. , that is a great achievement.

This is why Zhujiazhuang will plant the banner on the mountain that reads "Fill up the water and capture Sun Lei, break through Liangshan to gain fame".

Luan Tingyu thought it was okay at the beginning to step on Liangshan to rise to the throne. The imperial court has limited combat power, constant friction in the north, and banditry everywhere, and the military strength is stretched. A strong village like Zhujiazhuang is exactly what the imperial court needs. Maybe it will be flattered Zhujiazhuang is Zhujia Town, and someone who knows the village will be given an official position.

However, with the strong rise of Liang Shanbo, Luan Tingyu persuaded Zhu Chaofeng more than once to give up being an enemy of Liang Shan. They are not Liang Shan's opponents.

But the ambitious Zhu Chaofeng couldn't listen to it, he only thought that as long as the three Dulongshan families worked together, they would not be afraid of Liangshanpo at all.

"Teacher Luan, we have sent people to Dongping Mansion, and the prefect Cheng will send people here."

Zhu Biao said, although Dongping Mansion was defeated once, they had an agreement in advance that Dongping Mansion would send troops to support Liang Shanbo's attack on Dulong Mountain.

"Ugh!"

Seeing this, Luan Tingyu could only sigh, everyone in Zhujiazhuang is crazy now, they would rather take the whole Dulong Mountain to gamble in order to become an official, isn't the official government more untrustworthy than thieves in this world?If the government is credible, why did Zhujiazhuang build a fortress to defend itself?
"Father, I still have a way!"

Zhu Hu suddenly whispered in Zhu Chaofeng's ear.

"Teacher Luan, this defense will trouble Teacher Luan."

Zhu Chaofeng shook his head at Zhu Hu, looked at Luan Tingyu and said, and then took his three sons back to the village, really handing over the defense to Luan Tingyu.

Seeing Zhu Chaofeng leaving with Zhu Long, Zhu Hu, and Zhu Biao, Luan Tingyu became thoughtful.

"Father, Song Gongming in Erlong Mountain to the east of us also has dozens of leaders and thousands of soldiers, why don't we unite with him!"

Zhu Hu looked at Zhu Chaofeng and said.

"Song Jiang? Isn't that also a thief!"

Zhu Chaofeng only frowned when he heard that, what is the difference between Song Jiang from Erlongshan and Sun Lei from Liangshanbo?Aren't they all thieves?They wish the family is going to be on the official road.

"Father, that's not the case. Some time ago, I met Song Qing, the iron fan. He is Song Jiang's younger brother. From his mouth..."

Zhu Hu said in a low voice.
