Water Margin people

Chapter 756
"Brother, my reputation has been ruined. How can I take off the hat of this good wife! From now on, the big girl and the little daughter-in-law will not run far away when they see me."

Sun Lei, who was sailing up the river in a boat, sighed. He had paid too much to go to Hedong, and his reputation was ruined.

"Brother has paid for the great cause, and everyone in the cottage understands it!"

Xiao Jiasui cupped his fists at Sun Lei and said.

"The people in the cottage know it, but the outsiders don't know it. Now the whole Shandong is probably spreading rumors about me and married women kissing me!"

Sun Lei shook his head helplessly and said, good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. From ancient times to the present, gossip and gossip have always spread the fastest. The young and vigorous bandit leader and the talented official woman who is already married are so explosive, gossip Women don't beat gongs and drums for propaganda.

"Isn't it bad for me to use a woman like this? First I caught Murong Yanda, and now I use her reputation. Isn't this a pure scumbag?"

Sun Lei still felt a little guilty.

"Brother, you can't say that. As soon as my brother shows up in Hedong, the rumors will be self-defeating. This is my brother. If she breaks Qingzhou Mansion in another Jianghu village, her result will not be good."

Xiao Jiasui opened the mouth and said that Liangshanbo does not rape women, but it does not mean that other cottages will not do this. From this perspective, Li Qingzhao is already very lucky.

The boat turns quickly along a tributary.

"elder brother!"

Li Zhu had already waited with people.

"How's the situation in Hedong?"

Sun Lei looked at Li Zhu and asked.

"Just got the news that Tian Hu has lost another three counties, and now he is holding on to the dangerous mountain pass!"

Li Zhu opened the mouth and said.

"Is the teacher's way so stable?"

Sun Lei was a little puzzled. It had been ten days since he got the news last time. With the addition of Zhongshi Dao and the Western Army fighting a Tianhu, it would not take only three counties in ten days.

"According to the information we have received, it seems that there are not many soldiers and horses brought by Zhong Shi Dao, and they are not in a hurry to advance."

Li Zhu opened the mouth and said.

"Master Lu?"

Sun Lei looked at Lu Zhishen who had been silent all this time. Lu Zhishen had been in the Taoist Army.

"Even if the troops are insufficient, it is not enough to fight so slowly. The Western Army has been fighting the Xixia people, and has rich combat experience. 3 people are enough to sweep Tianhu."

Lu Zhishen shook his head and said, Zhong Shi Dao came from a military family, how could the soul of the Zhong family army not be able to take down a group of vagrants and grassroots bandits.

"Either there is a conspiracy, or there is something wrong within the military."

Sun An said.

"It's a pity, Shi Qian and Daoist Ma are not here, otherwise they can be sent to find out the truth."

Sun Lei stroked his chin and said.

"Brother, little brother is willing to go and find out the truth!"

Qiao Daoqing waved Fuchen and said, although he is not good at scouting, his martial arts skills are enough to deal with any accidents.

"Then Daoist Qiao will go first."

Sun Lei nodded. Qiao Daoqing had been walking in Hedong for many years, so it shouldn't be a big problem to check it out.

This time Sun Lei only brought Xiao Jiasui, Li Zhu, Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, Sun An, Qiao Daoqing, Tang Bin, Zhang Qing, Hua Rong, Hao Siwen, Mi Sheng, Shi Xiu, Jiao Ting, Ou Peng, Deng Fei, Lu Fang, Guo Sheng added [-] elite soldiers and horses.

Sun Lei doesn't know the combat effectiveness of the Western Army, but the lineup he brings plus the army and horses should be enough to fight against one or two. He just came to Hedong to fulfill the covenant and support, not to be the main force. It would be interesting to save Tian Hu, there is no need For Tian Hu to fight for Liang Shan's family property.

"The land in Hebei and Hedong is so desolate."

Sun Lei walked all the way, and couldn't help sighing, Hebei and Hedong have been densely populated places since ancient times, but Sun Lei walked all the way, only saw the fields and villages were deserted, and he didn't see many people at all.

Sun Lei's march was not hidden. They were all wearing the armor of the Imperial Army this time. Gao Lian, the captain of the transport team, was competent enough. He dug a hole and ran away. The military flag, armor, ordnance, and troops were all left behind.

Now Sun Lei led people on the road, wearing the imperial flag, wearing the armor of the imperial army, and riding the horse of the imperial army. Even passing by two counties, there was no commotion.

Nowadays, there are uprisings everywhere in the world, and the imperial court has frequent mobilization of soldiers and horses. Even if there are county magistrates who are suspicious, they dare not go forward to check the documents. Generally, local officials are unwilling to provoke the imperial army. .

"In the past few years, there have been severe droughts or floods in the east of the river. However, the imperial court not only did not allocate funds, reduce or exempt taxes, but intensified the exploitation. Otherwise, Tian Hu would not be able to respond to all calls and gather 50 refugees in a short period of time."

Xiao Jiasui sighed.The great chaos in the world is not only caused by some people rebelling, but also because of the inaction of the upper class and the officials forcing the people to rebel.

"This should be Weizhou, right?"

Sun Lei looked at the forest in front of him and said, at this time they were at a fork in the road.

"Thirty miles ahead of this road is the state capital of Weizhou. This detour can go to Hui County."

Xiao Jiasui looked at the map in his hand and said.

"Bypass the state capital and save yourself trouble."

Sun Lei said, they are now pretending to be the forbidden army, and it is okay to scare the county towns along the way, but I am afraid they will not be able to hide it when they arrive at the city.

"To be honest, the terrain in Hedong is much better than ours. As far as the Taihang Mountain is concerned, it stretches for thousands of miles, with ups and downs. You can find grass on any hill."

Sun Lei said with emotion that he had this idea when he and Lu Zhishen left Hedong. The Taihang Mountains are very suitable for falling grass, but the terrain in Shandong is much worse. Even the peaks of Mount Tai are limited.

The army marched for another day, when suddenly scouts came to report that there was a large army and horses in front of them.

"It looks like I met Tian Hu's men."

Sun Lei said, the imperial court sent Zhong Shidao to lead the Western Army to attack Tian Hu, and the direction of the attack was on the front line of Fenyang and Linfen. It is impossible for a large army to appear in Weizhou.

Five miles forward, Sun Lei finally saw the so-called "big army".

"This is really... enough... soil!"

Sun Lei looked at the group of troops speechless for a while, except for the leaders who were wearing armor and holding sharp knives, the rest were really holding hoes, shoulder poles and some short knives, and wearing ragged clothes, but the number of people was really quite a lot. There are more than 1.

The army on the opposite side was taken aback by Liangshan soldiers and horses. They were going to Dahui County, but they didn't expect to meet a group of elite officers and soldiers on the way. Just beating in my heart, the hoes and poles in their hands are no match for standard ordnance.

"Where did the dog officer army come from, dare to block Jin Wang's army!"

Zhang Xiang rode out on horseback and pointed at the army on the opposite side and shouted, he was also a little confused, the information he collected was that there were only a few hundred soldiers in Hui County, how could such an elite force be killed halfway.

"Where is Tian Hu, my brother wants to see him!"

Lu Fang held Fang Tian's painted halberd and pointed at Zhang Xiang.

"How dare you call Lord Jin Wang by his name, you are courting death!"

Zhang Xiang was furious, now that Tian Hu has become the king, and has built palaces, set up civil and military bureaucrats, internal ministers and external generals, his name is no longer something that can be easily called.
