Chapter 379: The Imperial Prison Army

Ruan Xiaoer and Gongsun Sheng had already set off, but Wu Song was still on Chaogai Manor and stayed for a few days.

In fact, he had a glimmer of hope: perhaps, Pan Jinlian would find this place in the next two days. It would be good to be able to meet Pan Jinlian early, even if it was a day.

However, two days later, I finally had to set off for the area of Mangdang Mountain to find the new forbidden army that was now controlled by Lu Qian's family.

Long story short. Finding the current base camp of the new forbidden army went even more smoothly than expected, and even went smoothly beyond the expectations of Wu Song and others. Because, although the new forbidden army was besieging Mangdang Mountain and fighting in the mountains, the base camp stayed in Fengqiao Town, outside Mangdang Mountain.

Based on Wu Song's understanding of Lu Qian's house, although this guy is bad water from the inside out, he can't help but say that he is a cool official who can really endure and do things. With the style of this guy, he would not be so greedy for enjoyment, and he actually did not camp close to the front line, which revealed strangeness.

The process of Wu Song and the others meeting Lu Qian was also very smooth.

Wu Song just wore a big hat to slightly cover his face, and the group asked to see Lu Qian in the name of rewarding the new forbidden army and defecting to the new forbidden army.

There happened to be that birthday gang, they took out a part of it as a meeting gift for the army, and at the same time put on a picture of the new forbidden army's conquest of Mangdang Mountain is about to win a big victory, and they just want to take the opportunity to make some military merits, Lu Qian is very suspicious, but with this wealth, Wu Song believes that he will receive his own line.

However, the process went more smoothly than expected. The reason is that after they arrived at the New Forbidden Army, they found that the officers and soldiers guarding all the way were very conscientious and responsible, and the investigation was very strict, and they still vaguely retained the conscientious and responsible style of the officers and men of the New Forbidden Army when Wu Song was there.

And it was precisely because of the strict investigation of these officers and soldiers that Wu Song was discovered for a time.

And it was precisely because Wu Song was discovered that it was unimpeded next: these guards were all Wu Song's old troops, and they were veterans who joined the new forbidden army when Wu Song was there. As soon as they saw that it was Wu Song who was back, their excitement could be imagined.

This also made Wu Song more certain of his previous judgment. It seems that Lu Qian's guy still can't change his eating.

The officers and soldiers along the way actively let them go, and Wu Song and his entourage soon approached the Chinese military tent. The so-called Chinese military tent is not actually a real military tent, but the house of a large family in the town. Lu Qian temporarily requisitioned this place.

For the sake of the valuable "labor and military expenses", Lu Qian promised to personally meet with this group of "righteous men" who "came to join Lord Lu" and especially wanted to be promoted and make a fortune.

This also has the factor that Lu Qian is in a very happy mood now. After he took over the new forbidden army, he soon learned that Lu Zhishen of Mangdang Mountain was also under Wu Song, and immediately asked Lu Zhishen to hand over military power. However, Lu Zhishen not only did not bird him, but also accepted the female barracks led by Liang Hongyu and Zhang Zhenniang who escaped from the main force of the New Forbidden Army. Lu Qian was annoyed and ashamed, and instead of attacking Liangshan, he turned around and encircled Mangdang Mountain.

He originally thought that with his own ingenuity, the level of the army should still be above Wu Song, and it was not very easy to exterminate Mangdang Mountain.

Unexpectedly, Mangdang Mountain was under the command of Lu Zhishen, and it was impregnable. Lu Qian's side has suffered a lot of defeats one after another, and there is another important factor in the loss of major generals - the loss of major generals, that is, many officers and soldiers in the original new forbidden army stepped forward to fight against the "bandits" in Mangdang Mountain, and often before they could fight, they recognized their brothers and turned to the mountains one after another!

They were all colleagues under Wu Song's command!

Lu Qian had to pull Zhuang Ding everywhere to replenish the troops. At the same time, tighter monitoring measures have been taken against the new forbidden army, and if it is discovered that there are any more "defectors," their families will be held accountable, and their families will be punished with capital punishment if they are arrested. In this way, the momentum of "defection" of the officers and men of the new ban was finally temporarily curbed.

However, in this way, it will be even more difficult to attack Mangdang Mountain.

When Lu Qian was at a loss, the scouts in front reported that due to being besieged and attacked by Lu Qian's army for several months, Lu Zhishen was actually unable to withstand it anymore and planned to break through and escape.

Lu Qian was still skeptical. In fact, he is a powerful character after all, and he also took the opportunity to mix some of his people as spies by taking advantage of the "defection" of the officers and soldiers of the new ban. According to the report of the spies mixed in Mangdang Mountain, Lu Zhishen has indeed ordered the whole army to pack up and plan to attack and descend the mountain in an all-round way, which is obviously to break through and escape.

Lu Qian's mood only got better.

Because of such a good mood, he would be even happier when Wu Song and his party suddenly sent a large amount of money and property to reward the army. It was precisely because he was happy that he agreed to meet Wu Song in person and his party to "worship" him, Lu Qian, Lord Lu, and General Lu's "righteous soldiers".

When Wu Song and his entourage walked into the lobby of the Chinese army and went to see Lu Qian, they found that a banquet had been set up in the lobby, ready to celebrate today's Pingping Mangdang Mountain.

Everything was expected by Wu Song. However, there were some surprises that came to him.

It turned out that above the lobby of the Chinese army, in addition to Lu Qian sitting in the center, there was actually a very familiar person sitting.

Gao Yanai!

Gao Yanei was actually in the army at this time, and looking at the clothes on his body, it was no longer the Huahua Tai Sui costume when he was in Bianjing in the past, but the official uniform of the imperial court!

This guy actually became a "civil servant". Moreover, looking at the grade of his official uniform and the seat he is in the lobby, his position is not low!

It looks like it's a role like "Prison Army"! In the Song army, the supervising army was almost the same as the commander-in-chief, and even more authoritative than the commander-in-chief, because they were mostly civilian officials, and they supervised the army on behalf of the imperial court, and the emperor would trust them more!

When the new forbidden army was under the command of Wu Song, it was rare that there was no supervising army for the time being. On the one hand, this is because Cai Jing, Gao Yu, Tong Guan and others in the imperial court contain each other, and there is no consensus on who to send to supervise the army, and secondly, because Wu Song has already released his words, the new forbidden army is the tiger and wolf division formed by the emperor's order, and it is a chore to be a prisoner here, and the third is due to the factor of Li Shishi, Li Shishi's ear wind blowing in front of Song Huizong, so that Song Huizong temporarily fully trusted Wu Song and did not forcibly send the prison army immediately.

Now that the new forbidden army has fallen into the hands of Lu Qian, it is not surprising that the imperial court immediately sent a supervising army.

But this prison soldier is actually a playboy like Gao Yanei who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it, which still surprised Wu Song: Da Song is indeed rotten!

An accident is an accident, and it is not surprising to think about it: Gao Yu is now deeply favored, since he can snatch the position of commander of the new forbidden army, and then make his son a prison army, it is indeed not impossible to use Song Huizong's favor and mediocrity towards him.

This is good: Lu Qian and Gao Yanei are together, and Wu Song happens to clean up together. Last time they let them escape, this time.
