Chapter 123: Liang Shan's Self-Redemption

Gao Yu never believed in the gray hair overnight, but he believed that he was living like a year, at least the current situation was like a year. originally thought that as long as he led an army of 100,000, he could easily take Liangshan, but after he really came to the periphery of Liangshan for 800 miles, Gao Yu found that he was indeed not the material to lead the troops, and his subordinates had a lot of ideas, but they couldn't take Liangshan.

Now it is a tiger biting a hedgehog and nowhere to put his mouth, Gao Yu, who is suffering every day, is now suffering from a toothache and bubbles in his mouth, he knows that no matter how difficult it is, he will never be able to return to the capital if he can't take Liangshan.

Just when Gao Yu was suffering, the cheap messenger Yin Tianxi arrived.

Gao Yu, who read this letter of only a few dozen words, read it for a quarter of an hour, and he fell into deep thought, and he couldn't make up his mind for a while, not knowing whether this plan was feasible.

If this idea is Gao Lian, then Gao Yu will never dare to take it, he knows that his cousin still has some ability to play tricks, but if it comes to military strategy, it will definitely not be able to get on the table.

Now this plan is Liu Zhenglong's plan, which makes Gao Yu have to think about it.

Liu Zhenglong is definitely the reincarnation of Di Qing, of course, it is no problem to deal with the little Liang Shan, but why should he help Gao Lian? Is it just because of his own face, this question made Gao Yu's heart full of doubts. The key is that there is no mention of the Danshu Iron Coupon in the letter, if it is mentioned, Gao Yu will definitely ask Gao Lian to take back the Danshu Iron Coupon.

Why is this happening, Gao Yu thought about it for a long time, and finally decided that it was the problem of the Chai family's wealth, after all, Liu Zhenglong's greed for money and lust is a well-known thing. It's not a secret.

"Okay, I know, you go back and tell Gao Lian and let him prepare." Gao Yu wrote down the details to be paid attention to, as well as the agreed time, in the letter, and asked Yin Tianxi to bring it back to Gao Lian.

The plan is actually not complicated at all, that is, the first step is to release the wind to the wealth of the Chai family, and they will be escorted into the capital to stimulate the thieves in Liangshan and arouse the appetite of this group of people; The second step is to step up the attack on Liangshan, but to put an opening out, to make the Liangshan thieves believe that the imperial court has lost patience, and the reason why there is an opening is mainly caused by the lack of troops. The third step is to wipe out this group of thieves when the Liangshan bandits attack Gaotang Prefecture, as for whether they can take Liangshan or not, it doesn't matter, the main battlefield is in Gaotang Prefecture.

Since it was decided to place the main battlefield in Gaotang Prefecture, Gao Yu acted immediately, and he ordered Cao Xuan, the general of the Right Guard, to lead an army of 80,000 to open up, aiming at Gaotang Prefecture.

The army is mighty, it is absolutely impossible to hide the news, Liangshan is responsible for the news of the dry land Hulu Zhu Gui quickly found out the news, he immediately reported to the lord of Dazhai and Song Jiang in time.

Song Jiang was still hesitant to save Chai Jin, now the daily expenses on Liangshan are too great, and after being besieged by the imperial court for a few months, he has long been overstretched, although he has repeatedly defeated the official army, but every time it is a small fight, he can't kill the encirclement and suppression of the official army at all, even if he is not defeated by the official army, Liangshan can't support it.

After receiving the Chai family's letter for help, Song Jiang has been hesitating, this is due to his character, it is difficult to make a decision at once, and it is not so easy to attack Gaotang Prefecture, once the army is defeated, the consequences are unimaginable.

Now 80,000 officers and troops are marching towards Gaotang Prefecture, which makes Song Jiang see the opportunity, so he called Lu Junyi, Wu Yong, Zhu Wu and others to discuss.

Song Jiang got straight to the point and said: "The Chai family sent someone to send a letter for help, and they are willing to ask our brothers to go out of the mountain to rescue Chai Jin with three million yuan. However, 80,000 officers and troops have already driven to Gaotang Prefecture, if we rush down the mountain, it will cause big trouble, I don't know if you brothers have any clever plans. ”

Lu Junyi usually doesn't speak, but he talked to Wu Yong before coming today, so he was the first to speak: "Brother, three million guan is very important for Liangshan, but it is hard to fight with 80,000 officers and soldiers, and it is impossible to hit the stone with an egg, however, we can adopt the tactics of encircling Wei to save Zhao, and concentrate our forces to attack the rear army. ”

"If, Gao Yu and they had already decided to fight a decisive battle in Gaotang Prefecture, I am afraid they would not be so easily fooled, and once we are entangled by the official army, Cao Xuan will lead the army back to help, and we will be in danger of annihilation of the whole army." Zhu Wu, the Divine Machine Military Master, was not very advocative of taking risks, he pondered for a moment and said: "There is no need for us to rescue Chai Jin, after all, it is too difficult to rob the prison from Gaotang Prefecture, it is better to send brothers to sneak into Gaotang Prefecture and loot the Chai family, in that case, even if there is no danger of being defeated by the official army, we will also solve the dilemma on Liangshan." ”

Song Jiang saw that Wu Yong didn't speak, so he asked, "Strategist, what do you think?" ”

Wu Yong shook his fan and said: "Chai Jin must be saved, after all, many brothers have received the favor of Chai Daguan, if you don't save it, the morality of the rivers and lakes will not be justified, and the reputation of the eldest brother will be damaged." The officers and troops must also be defeated, otherwise, if we are trapped for a few more months, we will be defeated without a fight. ”

Wu Yong said that Song Jiang's heart is on the road, this guy is known as timely rain in the rivers and lakes, and he is famous for his benevolence and righteousness. Of course, he knew better what the consequences would be if he was defeated by the official army.

Seeing that Song Jiang was tempted, Wu Yong continued: "I have a clever plan, which can not only rescue Chai Jin, but also repel the officers and soldiers, and relieve the crisis on the mountain. ”

Everyone knew that Wu Yong was clever, so everyone's eyes were on Wu Yong, wondering what kind of plan this Zhiduoxing had.

"Since the officers and soldiers are divided into two routes, then we will divide the troops into three routes, the first route is led by Lin Chong, and the military camp will be stormed by Gao Yu, no matter whether the military camp can be conquered or not, it will make Gao Yu frightened. The second route is led by Lu Yuanwai, pretending to be an official army to go back and forth to support the rear army, so that you can easily enter the military camp of the official army, completely defeat Gao Yu, and it is best to capture him alive, so that once the imperial court is edicted, we will also occupy the initiative. ”

It is not a loss for Zhiduoxing, as soon as this plan came out, everyone applauded in unison, and Song Jiang asked: "Military division, what about the third way?" ”

"The third road is led by Xiao Li Guanghua Rong and Yan Qing, Hua Rong is in Ming, attacking Gaotang Prefecture, as long as it is to create chaos and contain the official army, Yan Qing is in the dark, sneaking into the city to rescue Chai Jin. If the rescue fails, just snatch the Chai family, and then set a fire to the Chai Mansion,"

Wu Yong's meaning is very clear, the heroes of Liangshan have already put on a posture to save Chai Jin, as for whether they can come out, it depends on the will of God, of course, the gold and silver treasures of the Chai family must be brought to the mountain.

Wu Yong continued: "If it is not what I expected, the official army should attack my Liangshanbo on a large scale tomorrow, and we will do a good job of defense." Wait until evening, and then the Nguyen Thi Thiong will escort the team with a warship to the camp of the official army at night. It was dark, Gao Yu definitely couldn't figure out how many people robbed the camp, and he would definitely be frightened and enter our trap smoothly. ”

"Okay, just do what the military advisor said, and the brothers should go back and rest."

Song Jiang left Hua Rong alone, and he said: "I heard that you married your sister Xu to Liu Zhenglong, the prince of Qinling County, it's okay, you want to find a way to pull a line and solve the problem of Zhao'an as soon as possible, Liangshan's territory is too small, although you can occupy the mountain as the king, but sooner or later it will be suppressed by the official army, besides, the brothers can't be thieves for the rest of their lives." ”

Hua Rong didn't expect Song Jiang to say this, and he didn't know how to respond for a while.

Since Hua Rong didn't respond, Song Jiang didn't want to press too hard, after all, the top priority was to defeat the official army led by Gao Yu, and as for Zhao'an, it was after the victory, and he was still very clear about this.

Song Jiang continued: "Chai Jin don't need to be rescued, it's good to be able to pull things over, but the rescue battle must be done, it's best to make the whole world know that I, Song Jiang, am benevolent and righteous, and go to rescue Chai Jin." ”

"Big brother, don't worry, I know what to do." Hua Rong only reacted at this time, and he said with a smile: "After winning the battle, we will have the capital to negotiate with the imperial court, so we must kill Gao Yu in this battle." ”

"yes, let's win." Song Jiang has long had the heart of Zhao'an, but he has never been able to find the right time, of course, he also knows that only by winning the official army can Zhao'an be meaningful, otherwise even Zhao'an will not be valued by the imperial court.

There are not many soldiers, but refinement. The territory on Liangshan is small, the food is small, and it can't feed too many soldiers, so at the beginning, Song Jiang took the route of elite soldiers, and there were many good generals on the mountain, so these 10,000 soldiers had the capital to fight against 100,000 officers and soldiers.

There are many factions on Liangshan, but the most important ones are the two major factions, one is the Song Jiang faction, which is also the most powerful faction on the card, which is enough to influence the decision of the cottage. The other faction is the Wu Yong faction, which is so hidden that it is difficult to define it by faction. Of course, there are only two main streams on the mountain, one is to accept the imperial court's edict, and the other is to occupy the mountain as the king.

Lu Junyi, as the existence with the strongest combat effectiveness in Shuibo Liangshan, although he was deceived by Wu Yong to go up the mountain, but the two quickly came together, mainly because Lu Junyi, a rich man, was unwilling to stay on Liangshan as a thief all the time, and even more unwilling to live under Song Jiang for a long time.

Lu Junyi knew that this battle was related to his future prospects, and if he wanted to get an official position in the imperial court, he must first use this battle to prove his skills to the imperial court, of course, it could be regarded as an expression that he had the capital to serve under Liu Zhenglong.
