Lord: Start with a copy of Water Margin

Everyone looked around the town, and the villagers in the town looked at Zhao Zhen and his party with fear. No one dared to come forward to talk to him. Zhao Zhen lost interest when he saw him.

Each of them left more than ten sergeants to guard several houses, and everyone went to the military camp outside the town to spend the night. Zhao Zhen released seven people, Shi Kuo, Shi Yue, Liu Mu, Xu Tan and his son, Sun Guang, and Wei An, and asked them to come back to the camp at noon tomorrow to obey orders.

Arrangements were made for the camp tour, the sergeants took off their armor, and the horses were saddled and saddled. Although alcohol was prohibited in the camp, a lot of pigs and sheep collected from Zhang and Qi were slaughtered and served with rice. The sergeants were all smiles.

At night, when Zhao Zhen was about to take a rest, Sun Guang, who had been released during the day, brought four villagers and escorted a short and sturdy man to the military camp.

After meeting Zhao Zhen, Sun Guang kowtowed and pointed to the man with his hands tied behind his back and said: "General, this guy's name is Fan Shi. The eldest son of Fan Ying in Fanzhuang is engaged in marriage to the second daughter of Zhang Gai in Zhang Gaili. Today. A householder from Zhanggai village fled to Fanzhuang to report that this guy came to my house at night and asked me to come to the camp in the middle of the night to entertain him. He was captured at the table and sent to the general to report him immediately. "

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "Sun Li is serious. Let's record the merits for the time being. I will not treat you badly when I kill the people who have retreated from the robber camp."

Sun Guang didn't dare to say anything after hearing this.

Someone took out the walnuts from Fan Shi's mouth, and Fan Shi yelled: "Sun Guang, don't forget, your son is married to the eldest daughter of the Zhang family. You betrayed me today and you can't save your father-in-law's family. Your family will not have peace in the future. ." He spat at Sun Guang.

"Huh, you married a daughter of the Zhang family and you still want to stay out of it. Who dares to use your son in the future?"

Zhu Wu said from the side: "Officials, at dinner today we were talking about who should be appointed as the township chief. Sun Guang has made the first announcement today. It is better to appoint Sun Lizheng as the township chief to reward his merits."

Zhao Zhen looked at Sun Guang who looked worried and said: "The military advisor is right. Sun Lizheng deserves to be rewarded for his contribution. Once the county has cleared the land and population, the appointment will be announced. As for the eldest daughter of the Zhang family, she has already married into the Sun family. , Naturally, he is a member of the Sun family, so he doesn’t pursue it because of Sun Li’s face.”

After hearing this, Sun Guang thanked him repeatedly.

Zhao Zhen winked, Zhu Wu understood, and went down to prepare.

Zhao Zhen then said: "Sun Lizheng, you go back now and pretend to gather the heroes from the countryside. If anyone else comes to contact them, they will be kept at the village."

After hearing this, Sun Guang took several farmers back to Sunzhuang.

After taking Fan Shi down, Zhao Zhen also went to wear it, waiting for the third watch to ambush and fight.

After the third watch, there was still no sound. Zhao Zhen thought that there were only fifty households in Fanzhuang, and the sergeant was tired after another day of running around. He whispered to Zhu Wu on the side: "Brother, I'm afraid that Fan Shi has an agreement with the village. He has never gone back. I'm afraid that the other side knows that the matter has been exposed, and I'm afraid he won't come tonight."

Zhu Wudao: "It's better to be careful. Only a hundred people will be left on guard. The rest of the soldiers will go to rest. The armor will stay with you tonight. I will go to Fanzhuang for a walk tomorrow."

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen arranged for the sergeant to return to the camp to rest.

One night passed, and no one from Fanzhuang came to rob the camp. After replacing the sergeant on night duty, Zhao Zhen sent someone to bring Fan Shi and shouted: "Why, you are the only good man in Fanzhuang?"

Fan Shi sneered and didn't reply.

Zhao Zhen was not angry and said: "Is it funny? Because of you, I will send troops to attack Fanzhuang today. I'll see if you can still laugh when I take Fanzhuang."

After hearing this, Fan Shi was shocked and said angrily: "Everyone is responsible for what he does, and Fan Zhuang didn't provoke you."

"Why, aren't you coming to rob the camp?"

"I lied to Sun Guang." Fan Shi said quickly.

Seeing Zhao Zhen staring at him, Fan Shi said: "The second daughter of the Zhang family and I got engaged this year and will get married next month. Yesterday I heard that the general captured this place, and also found out that the general wanted to allocate the Zhang family's female relatives to the sergeants. I begged My father came to the rescue. My father didn't want to, so I ran out secretly. Thinking that Sun Guang's son had married the eldest daughter of the Zhang family, I wanted to encourage him to send troops. When the time came, I secretly took Lanxiang and ran back to Fanzhuang. I didn't expect Sun Guang to be timid and tied me up." He said in a low tone.

Zhao Zhen and Zhu Wu looked at each other. Who would have thought that a night of precaution would turn out to be a mistake.

After hearing this, Guanghui went up and kicked Fan Shi in the head, and said angrily: "Damn, I've been tormenting the Sa family all night. Sir, I'm going to take the lead today. I have to wipe out the Fan family."

Fan Shi was heartbroken after hearing this.

Zhu Wu comforted him and said, "Master, please calm down. It's human nature for children to fall in love with each other."

With that said, he turned to Zhao Zhen and said, "Sir, Fan Zhuang was not involved after all. How about giving little brother Fan Shi a chance to make a difference. How about letting him go and telling him that his father will surrender?"

Before Zhao Zhen could speak, Fan Shi endured the pain and said, "Yes, yes, let me go back and I will convince my father to save the general the trouble."

Zhao Zhen said: "If you can persuade your father to surrender, how about I promise to return the second daughter of the Zhang family?"

Fan Shi nodded repeatedly: "General, don't worry, my father only has me as his son, and he won't ignore me."

Zhao Zhen waved his hand and said: "Before noon today, I will see your father coming to surrender. After noon, I will raise troops to attack Fanzhuang. Don't even think about it, the second daughter of the Zhang family."

With that said, someone loosened Fan Shi's bonds and drove him out of the military camp. Before leaving, Fan Shi took a look at Zhang Gai's daughter.

Not to mention how Fan Shi returned to Fanzhuang to persuade Fan Ying to surrender, but just said that at the time of the battle, the seven brothers Shi Kuo and Shi Yue, Liu Mu, Xu Tan, Xu Qing and his son, Sun Guang, and Wei An who were let go yesterday , each brought their farmers, escorted three to five carts of grain and grass, and drove pigs, cattle, and sheep to work in the army.

Everyone saw each other in the military camp, and they all felt happy. Yesterday, they agreed to come to the camp at noon, but they all came early. Fortunately, they were careful, otherwise General Zhao would not have had a bad impression of being disrespectful.

Zhao Zhen called a few people into the tent. After seeing the ceremony, he asked everyone to sit down. Zhao Zhen said: "Sun Guang came to report last night. Although it was a false alarm, it also showed Sun Guang's loyalty. From now on, Jingmen Town will station a battalion of sergeants here to protect them. In this area, once the land and population are cleared, Sun Guang will take over the post of township head. Shi Kuo said that he has made great contributions to the conquest of Eliuzhuang, and he will choose one or two of you and others who have made the greatest contributions. Clerks will be transferred from the county to handle the positions of township elders, township cadres, and travellers. The remaining township positions will be assigned to assist you in handling official correspondence with the county. The county will then assign some clerks to serve as deputy chiefs of each village. Manage village affairs with Li Zheng."

After hearing this, everyone looked at Sun Guang, complimenting him on their faces, but cursing in their hearts: "This guy is so lucky."

"Zhang and Qi will only kill the culprits and leave the rest unaccounted for. From now on, if those who instigate trouble are exposed and have merit, the county will naturally reward them. From now on, the main responsibilities of the village leaders are to supervise the two taxes and assist the county in collecting and collecting corvees. , There should be no lynching in the village. The army will also deploy sergeants to serve as brave instructors in each village. "

"Today, the Prime Minister of Xiao County will lead his people to clear the land. Please cooperate with me. If you have something to hide, once it is found out, you will not be lenient."

After everyone heard this, no matter what they thought in their hearts, they all agreed.

"I will buy the grain, grass, cattle, sheep, and pigs that are sent to me at market prices. The money will go to whose family I collect it from. No corruption is allowed."

After everyone heard this, they didn't even dare to say anything.

Here, Zhu Wu had people weigh the grain and grass, guard the households in each village, and deliver the full amount of money to the local officials. When the villagers saw it, they all said that Zhao Zhen and his gang were benevolent and righteous.

Near noon, the spies came to report. In the fog, twenty or thirty people rushed out and rushed to the military camp.
