This time, the officials of the Shandong Prefectures were really frightened by Sun Tu. He actually dared to attack the team escorting military supplies from the imperial court, and slaughtered thousands of forbidden soldiers and civilians. Such ruthless methods had never been seen before. , which no one even dared to think about - even though the tragedy has not yet been concluded at this time, everyone has actually concluded that the food must have been robbed by Sun Tu.
Because of this, after the incident was reported, officials from various places quickly transported the food that had been prepared to Liangshanbo without any hesitation. In addition to food, they also rushed to deal with the need for ships that Sun Tu mentioned before, and soon after the food arrived, they also provided one or two hundred ships of various sizes for Sun Tu's troops.
But the appearance of these ships seems a bit too shabby. Almost 80% of them are fishing boats used for fishing on the river, and there are also some passenger ships. As for the real warships, there are very few, let alone the tall and sturdy ones with all kinds of weapons. A well-equipped giant ship. After all, Shandong is mainly based on land operations and has no navy, so naturally it cannot find warships that can actually fight.
When Sun Tu saw these large and small ships, he could only sigh. However, he also knew that the officials had tried their best, so he did not make things difficult for them. He just asked the accompanying boatmen and fishermen to familiarize themselves with the water situation and shape of the Liangshan water moor as soon as possible and prepare for the next attack.
The only good thing was that he had no intention of attacking the Liangshan Water Village this time. These ships were more of a means of transportation, so ordinary fishing boats and passenger ships were barely acceptable. However, some of the soldiers below had doubts about this, but because of Sun Dujian's reputation, no one dared to speak out openly.
It was not until April 20th that Sun Tu summoned his soldiers again and began to make a new round of deployment to attack the mountain. In the afternoon of that day, the sound of killing, which had been dormant for nearly ten days, broke out again in front of Liangshan Po. The officers and soldiers once again charged forward bravely, but were once again blocked by Yuan Nan. But under the cover of this battle, Sun Tu had secretly personally received Zhu Gui, who had been staying in the hotel outside the mountain.
Because Sun Tu appeared too unexpectedly this time, and the land and water routes into Liangshan were blocked from the beginning, Zhu Gui, who was outside the mountain, was unable to return to the mountain stronghold in time. It was not until he met Sun Tu this time that he realized that all this was actually done intentionally by the other party. When he learned from Sun Tu what he needed to do next, Zhu Gui turned pale with shock. : "Sun... Superintendent Sun, this matter is too... too..." He really didn't dare to say the word despicable, so he could only vaguely say: "They are my brothers after all..."
Sun Tu looked at him coldly: "Zhu Gui, do you really think they treat you as a brother? If so, why would they leave you outside the mountain for several years? I'm afraid your status in the village is not high. Right? Also, after I sent troops this time, you have been in danger, but will any of your brothers kill to save you? Not to mention the friendship between you and Wang Lun, the original leader of Liangshan Village, And the fact that he was killed. In terms of despicability, I am afraid those who occupy the magpie's nest are the most despicable! And isn't your brother only Zhu Fu?"
What he said left Zhu Gui completely speechless, and also aroused great resentment in his heart - yes, he is the old brother in Liangshanbo, but now he has been ostracized, even the village
How could they ever really regard themselves as brothers when they were unable to get out of the situation
As well as the death of Wang Lun, and the fact that his two old brothers Du Qian and Song Wan were in the same situation as himself, the swing in his heart quickly disappeared. After pondering for a moment, he said: "Okay, I promise you. But this plan is only It can be used once, and it can only be used on the most reckless and careless Ruan brothers. Li Jun, Zhang Shun and others are too alert. Even if I go, I'm afraid it won't be possible."
This shows the advantage of allowing Zhu Gui to be used by the army. He understands the temperament and behavior of the leaders of Liangshan Yiqian better than Sun Tu, so he can find a more suitable target. Sun Tu also nodded with satisfaction: "Then let's start with them. As for the other two villages' naval forces, I have my own way of dealing with them. Just do what I want. I will follow with my elite troops and I will definitely keep you safe."
So, that night, Zhu Gui took a few hotel clerks and punted straight to the water village in the west. Behind him, a team of twenty or thirty boats followed from a distance. On each boat, there were all the elites of the Qingzhou Army, a total of two thousand people!
It can be said that Sun Tu regarded this as the winner of Liangshan's victory!

The Ruan brothers, who didn't know the reason, naturally welcomed Zhu Gui with warm hospitality when they learned that he had brought dozens of jars of fine wine. The three brothers were even more overjoyed. Ruan Xiaowu couldn't help but take pictures. He put his hand on Zhu Gui's shoulder and smiled: "Brother Zhu Gui, you and our brothers really want to be together. Do you know that just a few days ago, our brothers were still talking about you and missed the wine brewed by you personally?" Ah, I didn’t expect that in just two days, everything I wanted to do would come true.”
"Haha, Fifth Brother is serious. In fact, I have always wanted to return to the stronghold. You don't know the situation outside. The officers and soldiers are guarding the main roads, but my brothers and I are running away. There is no place to run." Zhu Gui agreed with a smile, and asked people to quickly move all the wine on the boat into the village.
His words made Ruan Xiaoer a little confused: "In that case, how come you can come here again today?"
"God bless me today. The officers and soldiers guarding our hotel actually asked me for food and wine, so I tampered with the food and wine, and then ended up killing them, so that I could come back by water. No, I even brought the good wine from the hotel, but I can’t give those bastards a discount.”
"What I'm saying is, it's better to take advantage of our own brothers than to take advantage of them. Second brother, why do you ask these questions? We haven't had wine for many days. We need to have a few bowls tonight to enjoy ourselves!" "The alcohol bug in Ruan Xiaoqi's stomach had already started to take effect after he knew that the ship was full of fine wine. He no longer wanted to listen to his brother talk too much, so he eagerly started to drink.
In fact, Ruan Xiaoer is not much better than his brothers. He laughed after hearing this: "What I'm saying is, what are you talking about these useless things? Drinking is the only serious thing. Not only our brothers, but also the brothers below can't help it. , hurry up and share the wine, everyone has a drink and have a good time."
When Zhu Gui heard this, he was even more happy. As expected, the three Ruan brothers were not vigilant, and they did not take the military ban on drinking alcohol seriously. They only cared about their own happiness. But in order to make the trick real, he still deliberately advised: "Three brothers, are you a little hasty in doing this?"
Already? We are still in wartime, and there are officers and soldiers across from us. If we drink and cause trouble, it will be hard to explain, right? Moreover, the leader of Song Village had previously ordered us not to drink excessively..."
"Ahem, why did you listen to that? We are not officers and soldiers. What are we doing when we go up the mountain and make sketches? Isn't it just a matter of pleasure and freedom? If we still have to pay attention to this and worry about that in the village, then what are we doing as bandits and soldiers? Isn’t it a good idea to go? Besides, the leader of our village in Liangshanbo, King Chao Tianwang, has never said that he wants to quit drinking. It’s okay if you don’t listen to Song Jiang.” Ruan Xiaoqi immediately objected, and at the same time, he called a brother over and gave instructions: : "Pass the wine, we brothers will enjoy it together. Everyone has drunk enough wine tonight, and we will kill the enemy and make meritorious service in the future!"
Ruan Xiaoer also agreed with his brother's statement and immediately waved his hand: "Go ahead and bring four jars of wine into the house. We brothers will have a good time with Brother Zhu Gui and then dry the good fish we have hidden." Take them all out to drink."
At this point, Zhu Gui naturally refused to persuade him any more and followed the three brothers into the wooden house that served as the command post with a wry smile. After a while, the food and drinks were quickly brought in. The Ruan brothers were no longer polite. They each picked up a jar of wine, patted the mud seal on it, and smelled the alluring aroma of the wine.
"It's really good wine..." The fragrance of the wine in the jar immediately lifted the spirits of the three of them. They immediately bumped the jars against each other and started drinking the wine.
Although the food paired with the wine was just the simplest dried fish, the three brothers drank very quickly. In just a short time, they each drank half a jar of wine. Only then did they look up at Zhu Gui and found that the wine jar in his hand was still full. They couldn't help laughing: "Zhu Gui, you don't look like a hero when you drink. Which brother in our mountain is not a good man?" Wine is like life, you pour it well, you can make such good wine, but you drink like a woman."
"Haha, I'm really not good at drinking, otherwise the village master and the others wouldn't be able to trust me to take care of the hotel outside the mountain." Zhu Gui replied with a smile.
This remark once again caused everyone to burst into laughter. At the same time, the atmosphere outside also became lively. Almost everyone in the water village was a good drinker. Now that the wine was delivered, naturally everyone wanted to drink it to their heart's content. At this time, the water village in the west of Liangshan was filled with the aroma of wine, as if they had already won the victory against the official army.
"Zhu Gui, although you are not good at drinking, your method of making wine is very clever. This wine is much mellower than what we have drunk before. By the way, this is more delicious than the imitation wine you brought before. Son, did you hide something secret before?" Ruan Xiaoqi, who was drinking happily, squinted at the other party and suddenly asked.
Then he found that Zhu Gui still didn't have much intention to drink, so he simply stood up and wanted to get the wine jar in his hand. But just as he stood up, Ruan Xiaoqi suddenly found that his legs were weak, his eyes were blurry, and his vision was a little blurry. This made him stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Zhu Gui, you Not only does this wine taste good, it also makes me drunk. It actually made me drunk so quickly... "
As he said that, he suddenly fell to the side, causing Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoer to burst into laughter. But soon, they also noticed that their minds were starting to get dizzy...
