Water Margin: You dog official, you still say you don’t know martial arts?

Chapter 632 General Chen: Liu Zhizhou is also useless! [1 more]

Sun An asked Li Jun curiously:

"There was no boat when we came here. Where did you find a boat to cross the river?"

"Brother, I used to make a living as a boatman on the Yangtze River!

"Everyone calls me 'Hunjianglong', and the one I'm mixing with is the Yangtze River!"

Li Jun smiled and explained to Sun An: "Isn't it easy to find a hundred or so boats?"

"most!"

Liu Gao put down his wine bowl and picked up his feather fan:
"Including the boats of this village, how many people and horses can it carry?"

Li Jun estimated:

“There are only a few dozen boats in this village, and the hundred or so boats I found are also small boats.

“Each boat can carry three to five people at most.

"In total, one trip can carry about 500 people across the river..."

Liu Gao frowned slightly: "If there are 500 people on a trip, it will be dangerous if they are discovered halfway..."

Li Jun thought for a moment and said, "Brother, maybe we can wait until the fog comes and use the fog to cover us while we cross the river."

Liu Gao shook his head: "The heavy fog will also make us lose our way, and we may not reach this safe place..."

Li Jun thought about it again and shook his head.

"Let's think of another way."

Liu Gaoduan raised his wine bowl and said, "Come on, drink some wine!"

……

Dingpu Village outside Yangzhou City is a village, but it has several thousand households.

There was a big landlord in the village named Chen Jiangshi.

General Chen is the local tyrant in Dingpu Village, and all the villagers depend on him for their livelihood.

At noon that day, General Chen was eating and chatting with his two sons Chen Yi and Chen Tai.

General Chen: "Recently, a new governor named Liu came to Yangzhou. Have you heard about him?"

"heard!"

Chen Yi said disapprovingly:

"Liu Zhizhou has not shown up yet. The weasel is in charge of everything."

General Chen was stunned: "Weasel?"

Chen Tai smiled and said, "It was an aide to Liu Zhizhou, named Huang Wenbing, who handled all government affairs.

"This man is cunning, so everyone calls him a weasel!"

General Chen also laughed: "It seems that this Liu Zhizhou is also useless!"

Chen Yi and Chen Tai both laughed: "How many officials are useful nowadays?"

"Too!"

General Chen looked around. There were only three of them in the dining room, father and son, so he spoke without restraint:

"Right now Fang La's army is in Runzhou on the other side of the river, watching covetously and will attack us soon!

"Can this Liu Zhizhou withstand it?"

"I can't stand it!"

Chen Yi and Chen Tai looked at each other, and Chen Yi said:
"Lü Shinang on the other side is a man of both civil and military talents, and he has powerful generals like the 'Twelve Gods of Jiangnan' under his command!
"Another 50,000 skilled and battle-hardened Southern troops!

"We only have 5,000 men and horses here, and no ships..."

Chen Tai curled his lips and said, "I'm afraid he won't even support me!

“If the Southern Army attacks, he will be the first to flee!

"Only we, the common people, are left to suffer..."

"Not bad!"

General Chen nodded in agreement, then smiled bitterly and shook his head:

"He escaped. What should we do?"

"He escaped, so we surrendered!"

Chen Tai said disapprovingly:

"If we surrender to Fang La, maybe my father and I can get high positions and generous salaries!"

"That's how it should be!"

Chen Yi also said: "Are we still waiting to die?"

General Chen was somewhat tempted: "It's just that we don't have any way.

"Wait until he hits you before you shoot. It's a little late..."

At this moment, the butler suddenly came in, sneaking around with a flickering look in his eyes:

"Master, someone wants to see you..."

When General Chen saw his horrible look, he knew something was fishy:
"Wu Cheng, who is he?"

Wu Cheng, the housekeeper, said cautiously, "Master, that man said he was the Yuhou in front of Lu Shumi's tent on the other side..."

"what?"

General Chen, Chen Yi, and Chen Tai and his son all stood up at the same time, their eyes widened in shock:

Doesn’t this mean that Cao Cao will appear as soon as you mention him?
The father and his two sons looked at each other, and Chen Tai shouted:

"Please come in quickly!"

"Wait!"

General Chen stopped Wu Cheng and asked cautiously:

"Have you confirmed the identity of that fellow?"

Wu Cheng: "He said he was a guard in front of Lu Shumi's tent, his surname was Ye and his name was Gui.

"I don't know whether it's true or not..."

"Most likely it's true!"

Chen Tai said impatiently:
“How could anyone pretend to be a rebel?
"Father, please invite Ye Yuhou in!"

General Chen thought about it and said: "Please come in!
"No, we will go to greet them in person!"

So Wu Cheng jogged in front to lead the way, and General Chen and his son jogged behind.

Soon they saw Yu Hou Ye Gui in front of Lu Shinang's tent.

After some warm greetings, Ye Gui talked about wanting General Chen and his son to join the Southern Kingdom.

This was exactly what General Chen and his son wanted, and they hit it off immediately!
Ye Gui easily persuaded General Chen and his son to surrender, and then he began to press his advantage:
"Master, don't blame me for being so polite!

"If you and your son go over there like this, the Archbishop will definitely not treat you unfairly.

"But think about it, if you help our Privy Council to capture Yangzhou from the inside and outside!
"Since you have made such a great contribution right after arriving here, shouldn't the Holy Lord give you a great reward?"

"Ah this..."

General Chen is old and wants to play it safe, but the brothers Chen Yi and Chen Tai are already attracted to the idea.

Chen Tai couldn't help but ask, "How big a reward can it be?"

"How old? I can't say..."

Ye Gui's tone was bewitching:

"At least he has to be the governor of Yangzhou!"

The governor of Yangzhou?

General Chen and his two sons looked at each other subconsciously, and saw greedy desire in each other's eyes!
After an incense stick of time, Ye Gui walked out of the Chen family's gate contentedly and looked back at the courtyard:
I didn’t expect that what the giant god said would come true!
This family with such a huge fortune is willing to rebel against us!

General Chen and his son returned to the dining room excitedly.

Chen Tai slammed the table and asked someone to bring another jar of fine wine:
"Father, we are rich!"

General Chen was a little worried:
“Don’t be too happy too soon.

"Although this matter has huge benefits, the risks are..."

"What are you afraid of?"

Chen Yi said disapprovingly:

"We have thousands of men and our brothers are brave enough to fight against ten thousand men!
"With Lu Shumi's cooperation, it would be easy to capture Liu Zhizhou, the useless official, right?"

"Not bad!"

Chen Tai said excitedly:

"In the future, we brothers will be the sons of the prefectural governor's family!

"Father, we brothers respect you!"

After a few drinks, General Chen also became excited:
"Is that dog official Liu Zhizhou qualified to be in charge of Yangzhou?"

Chen Yi and Chen Tai: “That’s right!”

The father and his two sons were enjoying their meal when suddenly the housekeeper Wu Cheng came running in in a panic:
"It's not good, it's not good!"

General Chen was just feeling happy, but Wu Cheng's words made his face darken:
"Bullshit! What's wrong?"

Wu Cheng said aggrievedly: "Master, the weasel is coming!"

"If a weasel comes, hit it..."

General Chen slammed the table and suddenly came to his senses:

"Are you talking about the staff of the prefect?"

Wu Cheng: “Exactly!”

"hiss--"

General Chen, his father and his son all took a deep breath at the same time:
Good guy!
Fortunately, Ye Gui just left...

"Please come in quickly!"

General Chen quickly stood up and pushed Wu Cheng out:

"No, we'll go and invite them in person!"
