Chapter 20 The Depths of Fish and Water
While Ximen Qingzheng was talking to Zhou Xiu, Li Zhixian suddenly crashed into it in a hurry, with a frightened look on his face, and shouted: "Brother Siquan, it's not good, it's not good, it's terrible!" ”
In the hall, Ximenqing and Zhou Xiu stood up together, and Ximenqing asked with a smile: "Brother Gongji, what's the matter?" ”
Li Zhixian's face was colorless, and he pointed to the sky and said: "On all sides of Qinghe County, countless people and horses suddenly came, waving big banners and writing to arrest Caokou officials and soldiers. Brother Siquan, you have to believe me once, these officers and soldiers were not recruited by me! ”
Ximen Qing hahadaxiao, said: "Brother Gongji and I, Ximen Qing, are in a relationship of both glory and loss, and naturally they will not harm me, but I don't know what Brother Gongji wants to do now that the soldiers are coming to the city?" ”
Li Zhixian said with a pale face: "I'm already in a state of confusion now, I just know how to close the four doors first, where else do I have any other ideas?" Brother Nanxuan is here, that's the best, you are a military general with troops, it's up to you to come up with a clever plan! ”
Zhou Xiu frowned and said, "It's urgent!" I can't say it, so I have to ask the Siquan brothers to gather the military horses under your command, open the door and break out first, and then say, my Great Song army is short of horses, and so many soldiers were hastily transferred to besiege Qinghe, and the horse army will inevitably be even shorter, and you have three hundred fast horses, it is not difficult to break through. As for the family members, Brother Li and I will help you hide it again, only to push it has been robbed by you with troops, and when the turmoil is quiet, you will send your henchmen to secretly come back and move it out, what do the Siquan brothers want about this plan? ”
Ximen Qing said with a smile: "If my brother leaves like this, shouldn't Brother Gongji and Brother Nanxuan take a big responsibility?" ”
Li Zhixian listened to Zhou Xiu's plan, but he also activated his inspiration, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid!" I only got some pig blood and cow blood, and poured it on a few streets of the county government garrison, only saying that it was the county magistrate and the garrison who took the lead, brought the government soldiers, with less to more, closed the city gate to catch the thief, and your gang of Liangshan thieves fought fiercely on the streets of Qinghe, and then the army responded, and finally drove the thieves away. In this way, not only is there no fault, but there is merit! ”
Ximen Qing sighed and smiled bitterly in his heart: "No wonder the Northern Song Dynasty died so quickly!" If all the officials in the world are like Li Zhixian, and this rotten court does not perish, is there still heavenly reason?! ”
After a while, he shook his head and said: "Brother Gongji and Brother Nanxuan don't have to bother, outside Qinghe County, it is also my Liangshan soldiers and horses, don't be alarmed." ”
When Zhou Shoubei and Li Zhixian heard this, they both looked at each other. Zhou Xiu was stunned for a long time, and then said: "It turns out that Brother Siquan still has soldiers and horses, and he is really a famous general." ”
Li Zhixian finally put his heart back in his stomach, patted his chest and said, "I said! How could the soldiers and horses of this court come so quickly? If there is really such a speed of wind and clouds, thunder and lightning, the Western Xia Khitan has been flat for a long time! ”
Ximen Qing shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Then I will ask Brother Gongji to open the city, and when the younger brother goes out of the city to meet the leader of my Liangshan army." ”
Li Zhixian's heart that he had just put down was raised again, and he snorted and said: "Brother Siquan, it's not that I spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, if the city is opened, those soldiers and horses will be up, this Qinghe County is in my charge, and I can't afford to be guilty!" ”
Ximen Qing smiled: "How can this be reasonable! The elite soldiers brought out by Lin Chong, the head of my Liangshan leopard, are only stronger than the forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty in terms of military discipline. My army of 300 horses has been in the city for a long time, but can I rob one of them? Grabbed something? ”
Li Zhixian laughed and said, "That's not true. ”
Ximen Qing shook his hand and said, "Isn't this over!" Brother Gongji, you are an official at the foot of Liangshan, brother, I am a thief above Liangshan, we are bright and dark, it is the time to work together, will my kitchen knife still sharpen its own handle? Brother Gongji doesn't have to worry, just open the city! ”
Li Zhixian's heart moved when he heard this, yes! If Liang Shan behind Ximenqing secretly supports him, and he formulates many policies that benefit the people, the resistance to implementation will inevitably be reduced a lot, and he can be a clean official who loves the people as his dead father expects.
So Li Zhixian gritted his teeth: "I can trust Brother Siquan!" And I opened the gates. Brother Nanxuan, what do you think? ”
Zhou Xiu said: "Lao Li's words are exactly what I want!" ”
Saying that, Li Zhixian and Zhou Shoubei said goodbye to Ximenqing, in addition to ordering the city gate to be opened, the two of them went all the way to find Xia Tixing, and discussed how to take over the first floor of Qinghe with clean hands and feet.
If you want to be a clean official, you must have the capital to be a clean official, so every foreign wealth is not to be missed.
Ximen Qing went out of the city to meet Lin Chong, Lin Chong stationed the camp outside Qinghe County, released sentry horses and spies from afar, and then followed Ximen Qing into the city, and arranged for the carts with the army to start loading food, medicinal materials, salt and other things urgently needed by the cottage.
Ximenqing has been in business for two years, relying on his own money, and the food he has hoarded is really like a mountain and a sea of seas. Not only were the minions of Liangshan dumbfounded, but even the people of Qinghe County couldn't resist the temptation of food, and there were really poor people, so he didn't care about the soldiers on his side, so he went out and took a broom and dustpan to sweep the rice grains on the road.
When Lin Chong and Ximen Qing saw it, they both felt sad, so they simply acted with great fanfare, and there were poor people, every household, and sent five buckets of rice. This time it caused a sensation in Qinghe County, and the people praised the righteous army endlessly.
When it was time to eat, thick cooking smoke rose from the roofs of the former poor homes. After the meal, some brave people volunteered to help the rebels carry food. One person started and thousands of people followed, Lin Chong and Ximenqing originally thought that it would take two days to prepare the grain truck, but who knew that it was only half a day, and everything was in order.
Lin Chong sighed: "Water can overturn a boat, and it can also carry a boat!" ”
Ximenqing looked at the Liangshan Righteous Army who blended with the people of Qinghe, and also said: "Being able to win the hearts of the people and use it is the essence of the victory of those who want the same thing!" ”
The two smiled and looked at each other, both of them feeling a sense of knowing. Ximen Qing said: "Today's work is twice the result with half the effort, which greatly saves our army's reaction time, which is really gratifying!" Brother Lin Chong and I have worked hard all day, it's time to treat ourselves, little brother is the east, let's go to the first floor of Qinghe, hastily gather for a good time! ”
Lin Chong also came to be interested: "I heard that the first floor of the Qinghe of the Ximen Qing brothers is a few restaurants in Qinghe County and even Dongping Mansion. ”
Ximenqing hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Speaking of which, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint my brother." The small place in Qinghe County, if it is better than the talent, it is better than the pig dog pen in Tokyo; If you compare to food, but where can you compare to that flower shijie? ”
The two of them laughed and came to the first floor of Qinghe, picked a Qi Chu Pavilion to sit on, and called for a taste of the fine dishes, Lin Chong couldn't help but applaud: "This is exactly the flavor of Tokyo!" ”
Curious, Lin Chong asked the chef to come in and see him. Who knows it, as soon as he sees it, Lin Chong slapped the table, Huo Ran got up, and shouted: "It turned out to be you!" "This is exactly what it is:
Who is the opponent of the military and the people? Friends can meet in different ways. But I don't know who that person is, and listen to the next decomposition.
