Chapter 446 The Heart Is Like A Moonlight Mandala ([-])

In the summer of the tenth year of Jinghan, on June [-], it rained heavily in Liangshan.

The pouring rain carried the dark clouds all over the sky, and the occasional lightning and thunder made the [-]-mile swamp chaotic and uneasy. In this huge swamp, the foothills of Liangshan protruded from the water surface. , like a beast in the primeval prehistoric period, in the dimness, the huge body still stands still, experiencing wind and rain, firm and terrifying.

Since Song Jiang and others started their uprising in Liangshan, they have swept the cottages near Shuibo, joining forces vertically and horizontally.Sitting on the dangerous land of Liangshan, he defeated the officers and soldiers several times.In the eyes of some people, it was as terrifying as being entrenched on this giant island in the water, and it was the power of heaven and earth. Can't beat it anymore.

In the eyes of many people, the Dulonggang battle was still a mystery.

On the evening of the eighth day of June, the main force of Liangshan broke through from Wu Ruiying's interception. For the whole night after that, some leaders fought hard to organize the army and fled. It was not until the next morning that they converged in the Jiangjunling area.Thinking of how high-spirited everyone was here just half a month ago, it really feels like a world away.Afterwards, they consolidated slightly at Jiangjunling, and then went to Wanjialing, which had already been captured. At this time, the number of people was counted. The 2 people who went to Dulonggang at the beginning were less than [-] people who could be sorted out one after another at this time.

Among the people who disappeared, more than half were dead, some were arrested, and some were left behind while fleeing all the way. We can only hope that they will gather one after another in the future, or go back to Liangshan on their own.Among these people, it is likely that some of them began to feel disheartened towards Liang Shan. They did not have family members to tie them down, and it was not impossible for them to run away by falling behind.

In Dulonggang, there are only more than 1 soldiers who can really be organized. After this battle, from the beginning of the tailwind to the final loss of over [-] soldiers, it sounds like a farce.But at this time there is not enough free time for them to stop and do a self-criticism. They escaped from the weird nightmare of Dulonggang, but the aftertaste is still fermenting.Even if he used his knees to think about the problem, he could think that the blood-handed man Tu Ning Liheng would not stop at this moment in his revenge all the way, and he would inevitably gather the strength in his hands next, and take advantage of the emptiness of Liangshan to make a strong attack.

This is a long way to go.

The icy state of affairs was in front of them, and at the same time, in front of the eyes of everyone in Liangshan, there was also an extremely despondent status quo.The more than 1000 people who have been integrated at the moment may not be fully usable in military spirit. It will not be possible to bring them back to their original state overnight.And the most troublesome thing is that there may still be a considerable number of people who have been instigated during the mingling period.

But it is impossible to clean up on the spot.This kind of thing can only be done when the battle is won. The more the battle is lost, the less majestic the upper part is, and the more the people below are united.On Liangshan, where loyalty is the centripetal force, I still want to clean up at this time, and those who are waiting for the big leaders above are the mutinies and rebellions from the heroes of the Three Mountains and Five Sacred Mountains.

In a serious situation, you can only temporarily turn a blind eye to these troublesome things.During the two days of the ninth day and the tenth day of the lunar new year, Song Jiang and others tried their best to arrange for the troops who originally attacked Wanjialing to transport all kinds of materials on Wanjialing back to Liangshan. , and only transported 1 people back to the mountain.On November 2000, it began to rain heavily since the early morning, and things could only be delayed a little.Wu Yong and others paid attention to the morale of the army, but in fact, the morale of the army is quite good...or maybe it is very good.

Wanjialing won, but how did Dulonggang lose? Soldiers, leaders, and family members who were not on the battlefield were curious, and some of them were well-informed. Most of them knew that the first few days of the attack on Dulonggang were quite smooth.After that, only the leaders of the army and the soldiers who participated in the war can know about the sudden turn.But the soldiers who returned to Liangshan almost all chose to keep silent about the people around them, and did not mention what happened, but this effect actually came from the anxiety and fear in their hearts.

When faced with the test of life and death, the individuals in the game began to choose the game principle of rational consideration for the overall situation and finally appeared in the people of Liangshan. In a sense, it can actually give people a little gratification.During the storm, in the room on the side of the Juyi Hall, when talking about this matter, Zhu Wu also felt a little calm.

"...At least if we really want to fight, the military will still be available. Everyone's family is on Liangshan, and most people don't want Liangshan to collapse."

There were many leaders sitting in the room, and when the door was opened, the wind and rain encouraged them to enter, and the flaming torches moved violently.Behind the desk, Wu Yong propped his forehead: "After all, the people at Dulonggang are almost exhausted. They want to come, but not many people can come. If...if that Ning Liheng really gets the support of the traitor, Wu Ruiying will send troops, But in my opinion, they are not so determined. As long as we can defeat Wu Rui Camp head-on in the first battle, with the terrain of Liangshan, we can still hold it after all."

"I don't know how that person will make moves now, but as long as we can win a battle, we can take advantage of the victory and start to cleanse the hearts of the army, and it will be smooth sailing after that. In short, everything must be done towards this point."

"The thousands of people originally under Huyan's leadership, and the 5000 of us who stayed behind in Liangshan are still in morale. The total of 1 people, due to the favorable location, will not have a big problem if we want to hold on."

"You can do a great ritual for the dead brother to boost morale..."

Since the return of Wanjialing, everyone has been working intensively, preparing for possible attacks, how to defend the surrounding islands, which leader is better to use, how to control public opinion on the island, and estimate the opponent's offensive. Etc., etc.By this time, at least between Wu Yong and Zhu Wu, there is no question of who is excluding who.

Xi Junyu has also been included among the crowd, but he chose to be low-key and silent during this period of time.I also cried to Song Jiang that he was the cause of disaster and caused the death of many brothers, but at this time, how could Song Jiang hold him accountable, patting his chest and saying that everyone should have the same blessings and share the same misfortunes as brothers, Xi Junyu was very grateful , everyone even said that brother Gongming was righteous.

They also understand that even if they are sent to attend Jun Yu, the other party may not let Liangshan go. At least the brothers who rushed into the Su family that day are probably on the revenge list over there. If these brothers can really be sent out, it will not only save face The problem, Liangshan, who was devoted to loyalty, collapsed properly.

In fact, there have been countless countermeasures on Liangshan for how to rely on geographical advantages to defend officers and soldiers or the enemy.At this time, if you think about it a hundred times more, you will not be able to come up with a single flower, but now that the situation is unclear, do a little more, and everyone will feel more at ease.

They distributed their tasks to the leaders of Yigan, and told everyone who had stayed in Liangshan that this was just an unexpected setback. It was the best way to boost morale by doing all the preparatory work that could be done.By noon on this day, the rain had changed slightly, and there was no more lightning and thunder. When the first ship arrived in Liangshan, it brought news of the Wanjialing area.

"The brothers who left the team and were separated on the road before, have gathered hundreds of people this morning, but some of them were put back by the bloody man... Leader Huyan settled them all together and let the young When he came back and asked what to do, he also asked Xiao Xiao to bring a few people to ask the leader and military advisor…”

Hearing the news in the council hall, Wu Yong's hands trembled, and he looked at Zhu Wu, although it was urgent, but he actually knew it, his lips moved and he smiled: "A, put it back again. ?"

After a little inquiries, he knew how many of the hundreds of people who had gathered again at Wanjialing were put back. Huyanzhuo couldn't count them, but what he did was right. People are still only temporarily isolated.But what worries Wu Yong and others the most now is what the other party has done to these prisoners. If they say something, they no longer take it lightly, and they have quickly summoned several prisoners they brought to the island to give the most detailed information on the whole situation. ask.

There was still a vast rain curtain outside the council hall. The inquiry continued for several hours. In the afternoon, soldiers came to report that someone was returning to the island by boat in such heavy rain and was stopped by soldiers in the water village. Next, the other party also said that there is something to report to the leaders.

When that person was brought up, the questioning in the meeting hall was still going on, and everyone's spirits became a little numb. When this person was asked to answer, this person was also released. According to him, he thought the situation was serious, so he could The boat came back to report the whole thing as soon as possible.Everyone has questioned several other people several times, including the release of more than 1000 captives, all the interrogation procedures, and what Ning Yi said.Several soldiers were still hesitant to say these words at first, until Wu Yong and others lost their temper, they finally said these words exactly, and Wu Yong and others were able to understand the weight of those words.

"I killed it, can you catch it?"

It can almost be said that the terrifying image of the other party, along with these words, almost turned into an entity and appeared in front of everyone face to face.Because they can almost see the seriousness in the words and the possible consequences.

Among the more than 1000 people, more than 500 people were caught by the opponent on both sides. In addition, the opponent's record of taking Liangshan from the peak state in three days, how many people will feel the threat of the opponent this time, It is impossible to estimate.

Wu Yong's voice was dry, and at this moment, he remembered something again: "Let the water village be on alert, check... find out how many people are still returning to the island taking advantage of the heavy rain..."

After making some more inquiries, Song Jiang got up and walked out of the council room without a word. It was raining over the eaves, and he walked forward, leaning on the wall.From the rear, Li Kui caught up with his axe and heard Song Jiang whispering in the sound of rain: "I call Baoyi Song Jiang. I have been bright and upright all my life, and I haven't done anything against my conscience. Why..."

Li Kui thought he was angry about Xi Junyu's affairs, and said, "I'll kill the Pocai surnamed Xi now! This class of people..."

"Tie Niu, don't mess around!" Song Jiang turned his head, "You... what's the use of killing him now, doesn't it seem that everyone in Liangshan is afraid of me. And how can I listen to the words of the evil thief, Xi Jinping? Brother him, Brother Xi..."

He was not necessarily angry because of Xi Junyu's affairs, but was just worried about the difficulty of the situation. After speaking a few times, he finally couldn't say anything. Near houses, arrow towers, silhouettes, light spots, pavilions entrenched in the mountains, big boats in the water, eyes full of bloodshots.

"This is to... This is to force people to death-"

He pressed his throat and growled in a low, angry voice.

At the same time, on the side of Liangshan in the rain curtain, there is a small episode that is happening.

Xi Junyu was carrying a small burden on his back, wearing a bucket hat and hooded robes. He looked at the still gloomy rain on the water's edge, but he finally leaned over and started to push a small boat into the water. At this moment, a voice sounded. In the back: "Could it be that Brother Xi is leaving!?"

Xi Junyu's body bent over for a while, then finally got up and turned back: "The matter of Liangshan is all because of the bottom. Although brother Gongming and the brothers fought for justice, what face does Xi have to stay in Liangshan? That Su family. The son-in-law all came here, maybe if he left, he would follow him and leave..."

He had a look of remorse and sadness on his face. This kind of explanation was actually a little weak, but no one saw it. Just when he leaned over to push the boat and the voice from the rear sounded, the expression on Xi Junyu's face was neither remorse nor sorrow. , but a strange smile who seemed to have waited for a long time and finally waited for the situation to appear.

However, in the evening, when the rain stopped, the news that Xi Junyu wanted to escape at this time was still spread among a famous leader, and Xi Junyu was temporarily placed under house arrest.This night, there was a good moonlight in the sky. Xi Junyu was sitting in the dark room. Finally, another figure came from under the eaves. He quietly waved back to look at the left and right of the door, opened the door, and came in silently. .

"Brother Xi is wronged."

"It's because of me, a little abuse is nothing... Are you investigating?"

"It's already under investigation."

The other party replied, Xi Junyu nodded, looked at the light outside, showed a trace of cruelty on his face, and smiled.

"It's not long since it started, and now you are so concerned about me going or staying, either because you already have the intention to join the court, or because Ning Yi was a traitor among us from the beginning. In the scene this afternoon, the latter I will definitely not be absent, as long as you follow the vine and peel it slowly, you will definitely be able to find someone..."

After he said this, the other party nodded, and after a moment of silence, Xi Junyu raised his head: "I heard what those people brought, isn't it... it's already a little late?"

This time, the other party looked out the window and didn't speak. The situation in Liangshan, thousands of people's hearts, could not be predicted...

The moonlight shone on the earth, and the cottage in Liangshan looked like a city trapped by a huge swamp. People flowed, and more than a thousand people who were released from the military camp were also surrounding this city, making their own choices. The people who went back to Mizusawa with the name of the night were intercepted, or they were cleaned up by investigation, and there were many people, but they had already hid in the darkness of the cottage, and bit by bit, maliciousness was infested.

This time, it's not just a few cracks on the ice. If anyone can see the whole situation, they will feel that this fortress belonging to Liangshan has started from this moment, before it was attacked, because of These cracks are gradually splitting, peeling off, collapsing...
