Chapter 57: The Tiger, Lion and Leopard Controversy

None of these three people escaped the other's sight.

Before Ren Liang, Guo Yan and others sent troops to Lou Fu, they had already received a report from the spies, saying that there were two groups of rogues coming to Lou Fu, and a piece of Luya Mountain was already attacking Mengjiazhuang.

Ren Liang was still thinking about how to get rid of the intricate situation, Guo Yan and Ba Shanhu couldn't hold their breath anymore, and urged him to send troops again and again, and if he went late, he didn't even have to drink the soup.

In desperation, Ren Liang had to lead his men and horses to join Guo Yan and Bashan Hu, and roared at Lou Fu.

The three of them know each other's backhand, and they don't break it, and they are always on guard against each other's faces while calling each other brothers.

……

Wang Gang and Leopard Wu were patting their thighs and regretting it, Li Biaofeng had already said that Mengjiazhuang had thousands of money and grain, but they didn't believe it, after all, that place had been robbed by Bashanhu and Li Biaofeng, and a total of more than 3,000 stone of grain had been robbed, how could a small Zhuangzi hoard so much grain.

Later, when they heard that Mengjiazhuang had 8,000 stone of grain and 10,000 taels of silver, they still didn't believe it, until they found that the 3,000 cavalry of Zhang Bingzhong, the eighth king, was heading towards Lou Fu, they finally believed it.

When even though they hurriedly left the stolen money and grain and some old and weak behind, leaving only a few hundred people to escort them, they took Li Biaofeng and Tongtian Zhu, led 2,500 men and horses into the Luliang Mountain Range, and went straight to Lou Fu.

……

Although Zhang Kewang is only 17 years old this year, he has been fighting with his father-in-law Zhang Bingzhong for two years.

The father-in-law handed over three thousand light horsemen to him, asked him to get the money and food from Lou Fu Mengjiazhuang, and asked him to bring his brother-in-law, so that he could give this brother-in-law who was also young and promising more experience, which was enough to see the importance that his father-in-law valued him.

At the age of seventeen, he led 3,000 soldiers, which is also a rare existence in the righteous army, Zhang Kewang was high-spirited, vowing to get back the money and grain, and then help his father-in-law lay down this great country, in order to repay his father-in-law's discernment.

Of course, he knew about the existence of several other groups of people, but he didn't pay attention to it at all, the group with the most soldiers and horses was Wang Gang and Leopard Wu, one of the seventy-two families, and there were only more than 2,000 people, as for Ren Liang and Guo Yan's less than 2,000 people, it was not worth mentioning.

Mengjiazhuang's money and food belong to his father-in-law, and no son can be missing, if those people don't know each other, three thousand soldiers can easily kill them.

So, Zhang Kewang didn't stop for a moment, urging the soldiers and horses to gallop quickly towards Mengjiazhuang.

Compared with Zhang Kewang's high spirits, Zhang Dingguo, who is four years younger than him, seems much calmer.

Zhang Dingguo was born in troubled times, grew up in troubled times, is used to seeing life and death, and is also used to seeing the warmth and coldness of people and the sinister world, has killed people, robbed food, and almost been killed countless times, and even almost eaten by others, and has experienced countless cruel things after joining the rebels.

Under such an experience, Zhang Dingguo's heart has grown several years old, and he is only a thirteen-year-old boy, but he has a calmness and shrewdness far beyond his age.

He knew that this trip would never go as smoothly as his brother had expected.

The others didn't say it first, just said that the one surnamed Qin could occupy Mengjiazhuang with more than 30 subordinates, take advantage of the fire when the Bashan Tiger side and the Meng family were fighting, dozens of horses broke through the Bashan Tiger and 200 horses, and blocked the onslaught of more than 1,000 people of the Fan family, this ability is not possessed by ordinary people.

The person surnamed Qin is by no means an ordinary person, and he will never sit still.

I hope that the righteous brother will not underestimate the enemy.

……

A few days ago, he divided 5,000 troops to Wu Cai, and asked the latter to rush to the aid of Shouyang, but he did not expect Wu Cai to collapse at the touch of a button, and fled back to Taiyuan in embarrassment, and Shouyang also fell into the hands of the rogue.

Song Tongyin beheaded Wu Cai in a fit of rage, and then began to think hard about countermeasures.

has the heart to recover Shouyang, but he only has a few thousand soldiers and horses in his hands, and the only generals who can fight are Hu Dawei, Zhang Yingchang and Ai Wannian, and Zhang Zongheng, the governor of Xuanda, has soldiers and horses, but now he is in the area of Hequ and Lanzhou, and the distant water cannot save the near fire, and Cao Wenzhao was dragged by a small stream of rogue in the Fenyang area.

If he leads only a few thousand soldiers and horses to Shouyang, Taiyuan and Yangqu will be in danger, and if the thieves take advantage of the situation to attack, the empty Taiyuan and Yangqu will inevitably fall.

Taiyuan City lives the Jin Wang's family, and Shanxi's political envoy Si Yamen is in Yangqu, if these two counties fall into the hands of thieves...... Song Tongyin didn't dare to imagine the consequences.

Now he has the intention to kill the enemy, but he has no power to return to the sky.

I am afraid that there will be no chance to eradicate the thieves in the future, and the political enemies of the DPRK and China will never let go of this opportunity to impeach him, especially Zhou Tingru is in the position of first assistant.

When he was gloomy and anxious, Lou Fu Mengjiazhuang suddenly came to report that there would be several thieves and tens of thousands of people gathering in Lou Fu in the past two days, and asked Lord Futai to send troops to rescue Lou Fu.

Hearing this news, Song Tong was stunned, what are so many thieves doing when they gather to annoy? Can that small place afford to feed tens of thousands of troops?

After repeated questioning, I learned that Fan Yongdou released the news, saying that there was a large amount of grain in Mengjiazhuang, which attracted thieves to borrow knives to kill people and wanted to get rid of Qin Chuan.

Song Tongyin pondered for a moment, then summoned Hu Dawei and explained in detail, and the latter was ordered to order soldiers and horses.

The thieves and robbers have all come to Taiyuan Mansion, and Song Tongyin, the governor of Shanxi, will have to fight anyway.

The problem is that he doesn't have enough soldiers and horses, so he can only send 2,000 soldiers at most, and he can't fight the thieves head-on, so he has to wait until those bandits are beaten to the death, and then exterminate them one by one.

As for Qinchuan and Mengjiazhuang, they can only ask for more blessings.

……

The subordinates sent by Qin Chuan to the north failed to see Zhang Zongheng, but they saw He Renlong and were following Zhang Zongheng south to recover Linxian.

After hearing the news that the thieves had gathered in Lou Fu Town, He Renlong didn't believe that the Liu Kou would run to a poor and remote place like Lou Fu, and Qin Chuan's subordinates said a few more words that made him angry, and he was almost beheaded on the spot.

The subordinates who went to the south did not find Cao Wenzhao, and it is said that they went in the direction of Huozhou.

Those who went to Taiyuan saw Song Tongyin, and Lord Futai also promised to send troops, but Qin Chuan knew that Taiyuan's rescue would definitely be late, at least until the rogues killed each other.

Yitian was chased by Zhao Sandao for more than ten miles, and there was no time to even pee on the road, which shows how much Zhao Sandao has a grudge against Yitian.

When the battle outside Mengjiazhuang ended, the scattered rogues under Yi Tian ran back one after another to beg for food, but the Qin Grand Steward promised to give them porridge.

The chief steward of Qin did not break his promise, and asked people to move the porridge that had been cooked long ago out of the village one by one, and let the group of people line up to receive the porridge.

Porridge is not given for nothing, he wants this group of people to work hard for him.

The group of people was grateful to Dade, and shouted that they were willing to return to Mengjiazhuang and serve the Great Steward of Qin.

Of course, Qin Chuan confiscated them and let this group of people enter Mengjiazhuang, maybe there would be some kind of trouble.

But he didn't drive them away, but only told them that if they still wanted to eat porridge tomorrow, they would go to the northeast of Zhuangzi and hide behind the mountain beams, so as not to let the other people find out, and listen to his orders at night, let them kill people, otherwise no one would want to eat porridge tomorrow.

Hundreds of bitter people said yes and went to hide obediently.

As soon as this group of people left, Zhao Sandao came back covered in blood, and praised Qin Chuan's courage and leadership of the troops in a good way, and he blocked the onslaught of more than 2,000 people in a sky with only a few hundred people, and he was really a great hero.

After a long time of praise, Zhao Sandao said that he had defeated a heaven according to the agreement, and asked Qin Chuan to open the door to welcome him in.

Of course, Qin Chuan was not stupid, he only told him that the other groups of people were about to arrive, and as long as he was willing to join forces to repel those people, Mengjiazhuang's money and food would be given to him.

Zhao Sandao was furious on the spot, angrily accusing Qin Chuan of going back on his word and not paying attention to faithfulness, while the latter kept smiling at each other and was indifferent to his angry reprimand.

scolded for a while, probably knowing that the surname Qin was too thick-skinned, and he only had more than 300 people and couldn't beat Mengjiazhuang, so he had no choice but to leave with resentment.

However, Zhao Sandao did not go far, but hid nearby, waiting to see if there was a chance to fish in troubled waters.

His men are all cavalry, and he is not afraid at all.

Qin Chuan wanted this effect, muddying the water, the more complex the form, the more beneficial it was for him.

One must not have gone far, and he must have been hiding nearby waiting to fish in troubled waters, with two people nearby, and the other few have to be on guard everywhere.

Not long after Zhao Sandao left, the real strong enemy finally arrived.

The first to arrive was the 3,000 cavalry led by Zhang Kewang, sharp and arrogant, and rushed straight to Mengjiazhuang a hundred paces away before stopping.

Zhang Kewang was just about to approach and shout, when a group of people suddenly appeared in the west, and the bandit coalition army also arrived.

Ren Liang and Guo Yan looked much older, and they did not approach immediately, but stuck to the mountain beam not far away like a nail.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Gang and Leopard Wu also arrived, and more than 2,000 horses were also stationed on another mountain beam in the south.

The tripartite people, like the tiger, lion and leopard, and like the three kingdoms, look at each other from afar and clamp each other.

Among them, Mengjiazhuang is like a light boat, which looks weak and can't help but be crumbling.
