Lord: Start with a copy of Water Margin

Zhao Zhen is taking the seat. On the chairs on the left are Guang Hui, Jiao Ting, Bao Xu, Han Bolong and Tao Zongwang, all wearing iron armor. On the chairs on the right are Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaowu, Ruan Xiaoqi and Zhao Ji, each wearing leather armor. . The two rows sat down, and Zhao Zhen said: "Brothers, tomorrow we will dispel the fog and open up the territory. I don't know what will happen by then. Brothers, be prepared. There is no chance of a fight."

Everyone bowed their hands and said yes, and Zhao Zhen said: "We have the same loyalty and are brothers in ordinary times. However, the battle formation is not a trivial matter. I hope you brothers will abide by it and do not violate it, which will hurt your loyalty. If you disobey for any reason, you will be punished. Rule them according to military law and never forgive them lightly."

Guang Hui said: "A snake can't move without a head. In the battle formation, it's natural to follow the orders of my brother and point east to east. There are mountains of swords and seas of fire. They don't avoid the arrows." Everyone responded.

Zhao Zhen said: "Since the brothers have no objections, we will allocate duties today. If there are any changes tomorrow, we will all act accordingly.

Tomorrow, the three brothers Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaowu, and Ruan Xiaoqi will each lead a two-masted multi-oared boat, seven or eight water transport troops each, and ten water ghosts. They will prepare fork nets, long poles, etc., and then send the water ghost soldiers Four people, driving two fast boats, responded. I leave all water matters to the three brothers, so be careful. "

The three men of the Ruan family crossed their hands and responded.

Zhao Zhen then ordered: "The infantry is divided into three teams. The first team is led by Bao Xu, with Tao Zongwang as his deputy. They lead seven epee soldiers, ten martial arts heroes, and six sergeant heroes. They will attack the enemy with all their strength and tenacity. The second team Guang Hui is the main general, and Han Bolong is the deputy. He leads 28 sergeants to guard the central army. The third team, Jiao Ting, leads Zhao Ji, nine thick-backed swordsmen and six long stick soldiers. The escort team is also the reserve team of the entire army.”

After hearing this, everyone took their orders and rested for the night.

The next day, we gathered our troops and horses on time, made food at the fifth watch, waved flags and beat drums, and headed straight for the foggy place in the north. Three animals, pigs, cattle and sheep, were put on the table and a lot of paper was burned to offer sacrifices to the gods of heaven and earth.

Consume three Qi Luck to expand the territory, and the water surface area is expanded by one mile.

Spend forty-eight points of luck to eliminate the sixteen-mile fog area.

The boundary of Xixi Village is connected with the boundary of Shuibo Liangshan.

The changes in heaven and earth attracted the attention of the powerful people in Shuibo Liangshan.

Everyone looked at the suddenly widened view. Although they were well prepared, they were still stunned for a moment.

Zhao Zhen observed carefully and found that there was no danger coming, but he did not feel that preparations were pointless. Instead, he let out a breath and felt relieved. There was no need for a fight or casualties, which was exactly what he needed. He was not completely ready for the battle.

Zhao Zhen did not hesitate, and immediately ordered the camp to be set up, and at the same time asked the Ruan brothers to send fast boats to scout around. At night, Ruan Xiaoer captured a fast boat and two grass bandits.

Zhao Zhen did not dare to delay and interrogated him all night. Zhao Zhen saw the two prisoners kneeling in the tent with their hands tied behind their backs. There were whip marks on their bodies, and they had obviously been tortured.

Asked: "Where are you from? What are you doing here?"

The two men looked at each other, lowered their heads, and said nothing. Bao Xu shouted from the side: "What, do you still want to suffer some more?"

The man on the left trembled slightly and said: "General, we are fishermen in Shuibo Liangshan. We have been good people for generations. It is only because of this that it is inconvenient to communicate with the surrounding areas and it is isolated by fog. In recent years, this place has been occupied by several strongmen. , I waited for the reporting officer to have no way, so we all followed the thieves one after another. Today, the fog suddenly cleared. Several leaders on the mountain discussed coming to investigate. The two of us were selected to investigate the situation, but we were captured before we even landed. ”

Zhao Zhen pointed to the person on the right and said to Zhao Ji: "Pull this person down and question him separately."

Zhao Ji picked up the man and pushed him out of the tent.

Zhao Zhen asked again: "How many strong men are there in the water pool, and what are their conditions?"

"Report to the general..." Zhao Zhen saw the man's eyes rolling around and interrupted: "Think about it before you think about it. If the two of you are sorry to come, we will cut down the sacrificial flags."

"The small sentences are true. There are now three larger groups of grass bandits in Shuibo Liangshan, Scarface, Slender Monkey and Mangy Turtle, each with seventy or eighty people. The three of them are fighting with each other, and no one can do anything to the other. We The two belong to the Mangy Turtle, and they mostly do plunder on the water. Scarface and Slender Monkey mostly do business on land, and there are more than a dozen of them, and there are more than 20 strong men, and I don't know if they are in groups of three or five. There are always three to five hundred people."

After saying that, he kowtowed and shouted: "General, please spare my life. I am willing to do meritorious deeds."

Zhao Zhen said: "If you cooperate, I will naturally spare you. Let me ask you again, which of these people has the best martial arts?"

After a moment of hesitation, he said: "General, I really don't know, I have seen the mangy-headed turtle confronting others. Two years ago, a three-masted ship entered the Liangshan berth, and the mangy-headed turtle led us to intercept it. There were also two people on the boat. We were surrounded by more than ten guards for a long time, but could not attack. The mangy turtle took advantage of the situation and jumped on the boat. He used a steel fork to disperse the guards and captured the ship. and Slender Monkey, listening to the mangy turtle’s drunken bragging, no one can escape the advantage of fighting with him. He is a hero in the water and is too lazy to fight with them. I really don’t know anything else.”

Zhao Zhen said: "Well, what is your name?"

"General, the villain's name is Li Erdan."

Zhao Zhen asked the sergeant in the tent to loosen Li Erdan's bonds, and then asked: "Li Erdan, do you know the relationship between these three people?"

Li Erdan's expression softened and he said: "General, the mangy-headed turtle rarely goes up the mountain, and I have never heard of him having a good relationship with anyone. I heard that Scarface and Slender Monkey often fight, and there is a Wanzi City on this mountain. There are many remaining houses in the ruins, which were originally Shouhou's territory, but were later taken away by Scarface's men, and the relationship between the two was not good. "

"How many villages are there on the mountain?"

Li Erdan said, "I seldom go up the mountain. I only know that Scarface occupies Wanzi City and Skinny Monkey occupies a stockade in the back mountain."

Zhao Zhen heard this and knew what was going on. He asked, "If you are willing to lead the way, I will promote you to the army and get rid of your identity as a bandit from now on."

Li Erdan gritted his teeth and said, "General, I am willing."

Zhao Zhen asked two farmhands to take Li Erdan down and treat him with good wine and meat.

After a while, Zhao Ji came back. Zhao Zhen heard the results of the inquiry. After comparing the two sides, there were very few differences, except for one difference. The bald turtle once stood up for the skinny monkey and fought with the scarface. He was knocked to the ground by the scarface in twenty rounds, and they became enemies. Only a few of the bald turtle's confidants knew about this, and Wang Santu also heard what his confidants said after drinking.

The three groups had attracted the attention of the Jeju Prefecture because of their long-term looting. Last time, officers and soldiers came to encircle and suppress them, but they suddenly withdrew for some reason. It is said that many people were killed in Shijie Village.

The three of them had just formed an alliance, and today when they saw the fog dissipate, they thought it was a siege by government soldiers, so they sent people to get information at night.

Zhao Zhen was completely relieved when he heard this, and only asked the Ruan brothers to patrol the lake and search for spies to prevent anyone from finding out the truth. He could use this opportunity to plot against the Lai Tou Bie Shui Fort.
