Chapter 177 Dongshijie Village, the Three Heroes of the Ruan Family
As the saying goes, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle, because before setting off, Wang Yu also gave Guo Wei information about Liangshan, including intelligence information!
For example... the person in charge of intelligence in Liangshanbo is called Zhu Gui. He has a nickname in the world of "Handi Hulu", and he is responsible for opening hotels to inquire about information!
There were more than 700 people in Guo Wei's group. If he were walking in the daytime, it would be difficult for him not to be exposed if there were so many people, even if he was careful!
If the guy named Wang Lun who lets Liangshan Bozhong have a precaution in his heart, even if they have a large number of people and many generals, it will be more difficult to capture Liangshan Bozhong with only a few casualties!<
/p>
Therefore, they had to conceal their whereabouts so that no one would notice them. In this way, everyone moved forward. After two days of walking, Guo Wei finally led the army to bypass Shouzhang County!
Along the way, apart from asking Chao Gai and others to buy food and grass, Guo Wei basically kept everyone together so that no one would be left behind!
It can be said that Guo Wei and his party gave full play to their emergency march skills and managed to approach Shuibo Liangshan quietly, so that Wang Lun's men did not notice anything wrong.
Next, Guo Wei and others will find a place to station troops and horses. This place cannot be too close to Liangshan, because if it is too close, unnecessary things may easily happen!
Of course, you can’t be too far away. If it is too far, it will not be conducive to the next strategy operation!
In addition, it also needs to be far away from local villages and towns and not discovered by the government.
However, Wang Yu has already arranged all this for them!
Wang Yu, who is familiar with Water Margin, naturally knows that there is a small hilltop in Shouzhang County called Niutoushan. In the original work of Water Margin, this place is about seventy or eighty miles away from Liangshanbo. With the speed of Guo Wei and others, they can definitely head towards the mountain.
And the evening is coming!
In "Water Margin", two thieves once occupied this place, pretending to be Song Jiang and Lu Junyi, and robbed women. They were later defeated by Li Kui and Yan Qing.
He also fully understood the situation in Niutoushan. This mountain was also occupied by a mountain king, and the leader was named Yang Cang. He was also a man with strong martial arts and had been eyeing the water in Liangshan.
However, although Yang Cang's martial arts is strong, it only targets ordinary people. Liangshan's original master, Zhou Meng, is at the peak of Qi Condensation. It will not be easy for Yang Cang to defeat him!
Furthermore, there are two people in the early stages of the Qi Condensation Realm in the village, and he is the only one in the Qi Condensation Realm on Niutou Mountain. Under such circumstances, it is naturally impossible for Yang Cang to engulf Liangshan.
But now, Yang Cang, let alone engulfing Liangshan, could not even protect his own territory, because Guo Wei led Yang Xiong, Shi Xiu, Chao Gai and other heroes to conquer Niutou Mountain at night!
Although Yang Cang was only a man who knew a lot about military affairs, his arrangement was still riddled with holes in Guo Wei's opinion. Guo Wei and others came to Yang Cang's room as if they were in a deserted place and captured him in a battle. Yang Cang is also a knowledgeable person. Seeing that Guo Wei is so powerful in martial arts and has many elite soldiers and generals under his command, and that Guo Wei wants to occupy Liangshan Po this time, he is naturally very happy!
So, under Guo Wei's persuasion, Yang Cang chose to go with the flow!
The two armies merged into one place, with a total of nearly a thousand people.
After setting up camp in Niutoushan, Guo Wei began to send Chao Gai to Shijie Village to recruit the three Ruan brothers!
After Guo Wei and others rested for the night, Guo Wei had already woken up at the dawn of the fifth watch. He decided to send his nephew Chai Rong and Chao Gai, who had a good relationship with the three men of the Ruan family, to ride down the mountain while the night was still dark.
, all the way to Shijie Village!
Niutou Mountain is not far from Shijie Village. Chao Gai and Chai Rong rode forward quickly, and in less than an hour, they arrived near Shijie Village.
"Brother Chai, look ahead is Shijie Village." Chao Gai said to Chai Rong!
"Oh, it seems that Brother Baozheng (the nickname of Chao Gai in this life) is very familiar with this place!" Chai Rong said with a smile!
"Naturally, when the party was in trouble, General Zhou Tong was implicated by General Wang and was forced to resign and return home. My father Chao Zhang was so angry that he also chose to resign and not do anything, so he lived here!" p>
"It wasn't until the Battle of Yanmen Pass that my father and son were summoned by General Zhou to bid farewell to the three Ruan brothers and go to Yanmen Pass!"
"Actually, the three Ruan brothers also wanted to go with us, but my father rejected their request. Although the three of them are also good at martial arts, they are good at water fighting after all!"
"In that kind of battle with hundreds of thousands of troops, they might not be able to come back, not to mention they still have old mothers to take care of, but it's different now. Liangshan is only a stone's throw away from their hometown, so I naturally want to win over them.
The three of them have joined the gang." Chao Gai explained to Chai Rong!
Chai Rong nodded and agreed with the actions of Chao Zhang and his son. If the three brothers had participated in the Battle of Yanmen Pass, they might have died on the battlefield.
Chai Rong suddenly felt comfortable with the Shijie Village in front of him, because the scenery here was really good, with verdant peaks in the distance, and it looked green in spring!
Around Shijie Village, there is flowing water, which eventually converges into a small lake. And behind this small lake, there is a vast water system in the distance, vast and boundless!
Come to think of it... it should be the boundary of the eight hundred miles of water.
The two walked to the entrance of Shijie Village and looked up to see a small pier with several small fishing boats attached to the dry piles. Looking at the situation, it seemed that this village all made a living by fishing.
From the broken fishing nets outside every house, it can be seen that there are not a few fishermen, and it can be called a fishing village.
The two soon entered the village, but the road became narrower, so Chai Rong and the other two had to... dismount and lead their horses away. Chai Rong could clearly see several village girls on the waterside of the pier.
Holding a wooden basin and washing clothes near the water!
Next to them, there were several children singing and laughing happily, and one naughty-looking child used a hollow reed pole to stir water on the surface of the water, causing some ripples of bubbles to blow out of the water.
Since their trip from Jinyang, their group has been traveling in a dusty way, and not a day has been spent easily. Seeing this peaceful life at this moment, even Chai Rong felt that it was a different feeling. "This is not the wife of Xiao Er's family, but do you remember Chao Gai?" Chao Gai said hello immediately when he saw a pretty woman.
"Isn't this Brother Baozheng? You're here like this!" When the woman saw Chao Gai coming, she was overjoyed and prepared to invite Chao Gai and Chai Rong to her home.
This woman is none other than Ruan Xiaoer’s wife Zhang!
"Uncle, please rest a little! Come and pick me up, brother Baozheng is here today!" Mrs. Zhang shouted towards the reed swamp.
As soon as Zhang finished speaking, a boat was pulled out of the reed swamp, and a man sat up on the boat. He was originally lying on the board of the boat. After hearing his sister-in-law's call, he pulled up his pole and pushed it with all his strength.
, I saw the boat rushing out of the reed swamp with a "swish", and still had enough energy to break through the water and rush forward for more than three feet.
"This person has so much strength!" Chai Rong immediately admired in his heart after seeing the posture in front of him. No wonder even the Lord mentioned it to them. It seems that he is really capable!
Even though he is good at rowing, he is also a talent in water warfare that cannot be ignored. This is exactly what the Lord lacks now, that is, he does not know whether the person in front of him is Ruan Xiaowu or Ruan Xiaoqi.
"Oh, why did Brother Baozheng come to our Jieshi Village today? Xiaoqi can do his best to be a landlord!" After seeing Chao Gai coming here, Ruan Xiaoqi was overjoyed and quickly took Chao Gai's hand and greeted him warmly. At this time, Chao Gai introduced Chai Rong to Ruan Xiaoqi. Although Ruan Xiaoqi didn't know who the young man in front of him was, he was very good at observing words and expressions and could guess that he was extraordinary, so he greeted him warmly.<
/p>
At this time, Chai Rong also carefully looked at Ruan Xiaoqi in front of him. He was only a little over 20 years old, but he was not short, more than seven feet tall.
Wearing a black hat to cover the sun, a chess piece cloth vest on the body, and a raw cloth skirt tied around the waist, the face is bumpy and full of strange flesh, the eyes are exquisite and protruding, the sides of the cheeks are long and yellowish, and the body is dotted with black spots.
.
It can be said that Ruan Xiaoqi in this world is basically exactly the same as in the original work, but his pimple-faced face is not what later generations would like. It is said that he has pockmarks or pimples on his face!
You know, people don’t have pimples on their heads, they’re just acne at most. If you have pimples on your face, they’re toads!
It can be seen that the pimple face refers to his face which is full of flesh and has edges and corners, so the muscles are knotted.
Chao Gai and Chai Rong boarded the boat with Ruan Xiaoer's wife Zhang!
"Brother Chai Rong, brother Baozheng, please stand still." After Ruan Xiaoqi reminded him, he set out his bamboo poles. In the reed swamp, the boat was going back and forth, like a sharp arrow, fast and steady, even though it was just
It’s an old boat, but you can’t tell it just by looking at its sailing speed!
…………
Not long after, Ruan Xiaoqi took Chai Rong and Chao Gai to an island in the middle of the lake, which was Ruan Xiaoer's home.
This is because after Ruan Xiaoer got married, it was inappropriate to live with his brothers anymore, so he lived separately from his two brothers. His two brothers since then lived in the same old house with their mother. "Second brother, second brother, get up quickly, brother Baozheng is here!" Ruan Xiaoqi saw that Ruan Xiaoer did not open the door, so she shouted outside the door!
"What...Xiaoqi, you said Brother Baozheng is here!" Ruan Xiaoer was still sleepy at first, but after hearing the four words "Brother Baozheng", he immediately jumped up, heard the noise, and got up from the bed! p>
Because he was too anxious, he came out without putting on his clothes. The patch of yellow hair on his chest was particularly lush and eye-catching.
"Oh, it's really Brother Baozheng!" Ruan Xiaoer was overjoyed and quickly led Chai Rong and the two to the hotel, so that they could only stop what they wanted to say!
"This is really troublesome for Erlang!" Chao Gai said politely, and then asked: "Why don't you see Wulang? You and I haven't seen each other for a long time, and we just happened to have a drink together today!"
"This is natural!" Ruan Xiaoer nodded and said, and then took Chao Gai and his two men to look for Ruan Xiaowu in the old house.
It's just that... as soon as they arrived at the original old house, they heard an old woman crying from inside the house. It was the old mother of the three Ruan brothers, Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaoqi. They heard that it was their own mother crying bitterly.
I quickly jumped off the boat to take a look.
"Mom, why are you so sad? Where is my fifth brother?" Ruan Xiaoqi asked urgently.
"Xiao Qi, I'm living a very hard life. Your fifth brother didn't listen to any advice at all. He just gambles for days and days. Yesterday, he lost all his money and even took it by force.
I bet my dowry gold hairpin and went out to town to gamble again." Ruan Xiaoqi's mother said with tears in her voice.
"This boy has really grown up. He even robs me of my things. If I don't deal with him properly, it will be difficult to relieve my anger!" Ruan Xiaoer said angrily.
Ruan Xiaoer didn't say anything, but it was okay. When he said that the old woman was even more sad, sobbing, her face full of tears, crying and shouting loudly, complaining that her life was miserable.
Why did she marry into their Ruan family and barely have a good life every day!
What kind of unfilial son would give up even my mother’s dowry in order to go out and gamble!
At this time, Ruan Xiaoqi's mother had already entered a state of mind and wanted to vent out her years of anger, completely ignoring the presence of two outsiders, Chao Gai and Chai Rong.
This move immediately made the two brothers Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaoqi feel ashamed, and their faces turned red.
"Xiaoqi, go and call Ruan Xiaowu back!" Seeing my mother's behavior, Ruan Xiaoer was even more furious and called Ruan Xiaoqi to find Ruan Xiaowu and come back!
At this moment, a man walked towards Ruan Xiaoqi and Ruan Xiaoqi carrying a bunch of copper coins. He had a pomegranate flower on his temple, revealing a green leopard on his chest, with a smile on his face!
This person is none other than the short-lived Erlang Ruan Xiaowu!
"You beast, you dare to snatch my mother's dowry, and you are still laughing here. How can I, the eldest brother, spare you!" Ruan Xiaoer was even more furious when he saw Ruan Xiaowu! p>
He jumped up, exerted all his strength, and kicked Ruan Xiaowu violently in the heart. Facing Ruan Xiaoer's angry blow, Ruan Xiaowu did not dare to take it head-on, and hurriedly dodged! p>
However, the martial arts skills of the three brothers were almost too much. In addition, Ruan Xiaoer made a sudden attack. Ruan Xiaowu could avoid it, but it did not mean that the copper coins in his hand were intact!
Under Ruan Xiaoer's angry blow, the copper coins in his hand were kicked and scattered in all directions, turning into scattered flowers!
"Second brother, what are you crazy about today?" Ruan Xiaowu asked.
"Why are you so crazy? Don't you know what you did? You were just fooling around on weekdays. I thought I would let you go when you were young, but today you actually snatched my mother's dowry. I have to teach you a lesson on behalf of my dead father!" Ruan
After the waiter said this, he started to punch and pull his legs, hitting Ruan Xiaowu.
"Second brother, do you really think that I, Ruan Xiaowu, am afraid of you!" Seeing that Ruan Xiaoer didn't hold back, Ruan Xiaowu also became angry. He showed no mercy at the moment and was with Ruan Xiaowu!
