Chapter 1,111 Rushing to Erlong Mountain, happy meeting with Lu Tixia
Early July.
Jeju sent 4,000 troops to invade Liangshan, but only about 800 people fled back to Jeju.
As soon as the news came out, not only did the Jeju Prefecture no longer dare to discuss the conquest of Liangshan, but the nearby Dongping Prefecture also began to "talk about Liangshan's disgrace".
Later, Chao Gai, Wu Yong, and Liu Tang spent half a month studying Liangshan military discipline.
End of July.
After Zhu Gui found out the news, the governor of Jezhou raised another 100,000 pieces of "Birthday Guide" locally and sent them to the Taishi Mansion in Bianliang City, suppressing the conquest of Liangshan.
Seeing that nothing happened in Liangshan, Su Mingzhe rushed to Erlong Mountain with three hundred swordsmen, Chao Gai, Wu Yong, Liu Tang, Lin Chong and other leaders.
Erlong Mountain is located near Qingzhou Mansion on Jingdong East Road.
Jingdong East Road is mountainous, with famous mountains including Mount Tai, Mount Laoshan, Mount Yimeng, etc.
Most of these famous mountains are occupied by Taoist temples.
In addition to famous mountains, Jingdong East Road also has many unknown hills.
Many of these hills are located in difficult terrain.
In the prosperous times, there were also many temples and Taoist temples on these steep hills.
Only in recent decades, without the incense, have these small mountain temples and Taoist temples declined and gradually become deserted.
Among them, Deng Long from Erlong Mountain was originally the abbot of the Erlong Mountain Temple. Because there was no incense, he gathered a group of ruffians, built a mountain stronghold, and became the king of the mountain.
Everyone headed to Erlong Mountain, first passing through Dongping Mansion and Yanzhou, and then entering Jingdong East Road from Xintai.
After arriving at Jingdong East Road, more than 300 people broke into pieces, pretended to be traders, and passed through Yizhou and Mizhou before arriving in Qingzhou.
After a hurried march of seven to eight hundred miles, everyone arrived at the end of the field in less than ten days.
"King of Heaven, this is Baihu Mountain, and going forward is Erlong Mountain!"
Su Mingzhe said and invited Chao Gai to rest for the night on Baihu Mountain.
There is a village at the foot of Baihu Mountain called Kongjiazhuang.
The owner of Kongjiazhuang is called Kong Ming and Kong Liang, and he is the apprentice of Song Jiang, the governor of Yuncheng.
When Zhu Gui sent people to explore the road conditions and look for a place where he could establish a branch village.
I don’t know how Qiao Lie deceived him, but brothers Kong Ming and Kong Liang actually gave up the top of their mountain.
Today, Baihu Mountain has been renovated by Liangshan. Because there is not much dangerous terrain, Liangshan stationed 500 people here for defense in order to have a solid foundation.
In addition, two leaders were sent.
These two leaders are brothers. The elder brother is named Liu Bai, and the younger brother is named Liu Qing. They were originally private salt traders in the Jiangnan and Huaibei areas.
Later, when Wang Qing fled to Jianghuai and wanted to seize the private salt business, Zeng and the Liu brothers followed Liao Lihuo, the king of Fangshan Mountain, to merge.
Liao Li lost to Wang Qing and was beheaded. Everyone in Fangshan died and surrendered.
Brother Liu Bai originally surrendered.
However, the two of them once wounded one of Wang Qing's generals, Duan Erlang, on the battlefield.
Duan Erlang was Wang Qing's elder brother-in-law. When he saw the Liu Bai brothers who had surrendered, he insisted on avenging himself.
In desperation, the Liu Bai brothers had no choice but to escape and live in the world.
Later, the two brothers met the spies sent by Zhu Gui to the south. After some exchanges, they came to Liangshan.
Su Mingzhe saw that his brothers were not only proficient in martial arts, but also quite courageous, so he sent them to Qingzhou to develop the private salt market.
The Liu Bai brothers resumed their old business, and with the support of Liangshan, they built Baihushan into a prosperous business. Now they can pay two to three thousand guan in dividends to Liangshan every month.
Now, Su Mingzhe brought Chao Gai and others to occupy Erlong Mountain. When Brother Liu Bai knew about it, he immediately realized that this was someone who was "earning merit".
Previously, Liangshan had set up twelve mountain villages on Jingdong East Road and Jingdong East Road. Each village was about two hundred meters apart and did not belong to each other.
When Liangshan gets into trouble, these fortresses can not only help hide the troops, but also cooperate with the Liangshan troops and catch the army by surprise.
Nowadays, it is naturally "obvious" to build a branch village at Erlong Mountain near Baihu Mountain.
Brother Liu Bai was somewhat dissatisfied.
However, a person's name is like the shadow of a tree.
The reputation of Chao Gai, the "Top Tower King", is no worse than that of Liao Li, the original leader of the two.
Therefore, in the face of Su Mingzhe's arrangement, although the two brothers were dissatisfied, they did not dare to make a thorn in the side. They even had to stay humble and stay humble.
Everyone got to know each other, rested for the night, and lived in peace.
the next day.
After another day's journey, everyone arrived at the foot of Erlong Mountain from Baihu Mountain.
It was already getting late.
Su Mingzhe had originally ordered everyone to set up camp and rest for the night in preparation for a fight with Deng Long the next day.
Unexpectedly, before the barracks were set up, a gust of mountain wind blew, and Su Mingzhe faintly heard the sound of fighting on the top of the mountain.
When he opened his consciousness, his expression suddenly became strange:
"Everyone, did you hear anything?"
Chao Gai and Lin Chong had high cultivation and the sharpest ears. They listened carefully but heard nothing.
However, Zhiduoxing Wu used his sensitive nose and sniffed it, and he smelled a smell of blood from the mountain wind:
"Lord, someone seems to be fighting?"
Su Mingzhe pointed to the mountain and said with a strange expression:
"There seems to be the sound of fighting on this mountain! Could it be that Deng Long and Shi are fighting again?"
Wu Yong also thought of this and quickly advised:
"Lord, since this is the case, without further delay, we should send people up the mountain to investigate! If Deng Long gets into trouble with others, we will save a lot of time!"
"Yes, what Mr. Jialiang said is true. Now I'll ask you and Brother Liu Tang to guard the way back. The King of Heaven, the instructor, and I will lead the team up the mountain!"
My dear, there will be more after this chapter, please click on the next page to continue, there will be more exciting things to come!
Su Mingzhe already knew the result and was not in a hurry.
Chao Gai and Lin Chong didn't know what was going on, so they nervously picked up their swords and spears and rushed towards the mountain.
The terrain of Erlong Mountain is difficult and steep in many places, making it difficult for two people to pass.
On weekdays, there are hidden sentries of bandits in these places.
Today, everyone went up the mountain safely without encountering anything.
When they reached the halfway point of the mountain, Chao Gai and Lin Chong could finally hear the sounds of shouting and killing.
At this time, everyone quickly climbed up the mountain.
A moment later.
Everyone rushed to the gate of the stronghold and saw that the gate was wide open and a strong smell of blood was wafting out.
Su Mingzhe knew what was going on and continued to open the way. After a while, he led everyone to the school field at the top of Erlong Mountain.
This was originally the square in front of the Main Hall of Erlongshan Temple and was also a martial arts performance ground for the temple monks.
Today, there is a bare-chested and shirtless flower monk standing in the square, carrying a Zen staff.
Monk Hua had just subdued the gangsters in the village after a fight. When he saw another person coming up the mountain, still carrying armor and weapons, he thought that officers and soldiers were coming. He couldn't help but secretly complain, but he had to shout sharply:
"Who is coming?"
In order to prevent each other from killing each other, Su Mingzhe quickly shouted:
"But Rutichah?"
"It's the Sa family!"
Lu Zhishen heard a familiar voice, but before he could remember who it was, he heard a voice that he had been thinking about day and night.
"Senior brother——"
When Lin Chong heard Su Mingzhe calling 'Lu Tixia', he felt a rush of breath in his heart. He walked two steps quickly and when he saw the flower monk, he couldn't help but burst into tears:
"Senior brother, where have you been during this time? Let me help you find it!"
Lu Zhishen didn't expect to meet Lin Chong here. After taking a closer look, he found that the person who greeted him before was Su Mingzhe, the leader of Liangshan Village. He was surprised and asked:
"Brother Xian, how come you... why did you come to Erlong Mountain with Brother Su?"
At this time, a strong man with large blue spots on his face rushed out from the side. After seeing Chao Gai, a surge of anger surged in his chest, and he suddenly shouted:
