…

Liang Fangping and others almost set a record - in recent years, the record of the fastest dispatch of the Central Forbidden Army.

The army of more than 20,000 people, under the spur of Liang Fangping and others, was ready in only a few hours, and then Liang Fangping gave an order, and the army immediately advanced in the direction of Zhang Liangshan without any delay.

On the way, Liang Fangping thought about it, as soon as he arrived in Zhang Liangshan, he took over the command from Cai Ying, and then personally commanded the attack on the village, he wanted to firmly capture the great achievement of attacking Zhang Liangshan Village into his own hands, and then he could be promoted to make a fortune, one step closer to becoming the second Tong Guan!

And yet—

The ideal is plump, but the reality is skinny.

Although Liang Fangping's speed was already very fast, just as Liang Fangping personally led the Xuan Feng Army and the front army to arrive at Zhang Liangshan, they were facing a group of cavalry of the Jinwu Army.

Tian Shizhong, the commander of the former army, sent someone to stop this group of cavalry of the Jinwu Army and ask about it, only to know that Zhang Liang's cottage had been broken, and they went to recruit Si to report the victory.

Hearing this news, Tian Shizhong was like a thunderbolt from the sky!

After relieving himself, Tian Shizhong hurriedly went to report the matter to Liang Fangping.

Liang Fangping, who was dreaming of a sweet dream, heard Tian Shizhong say that Zhang Liang's cottage was broken, first in disbelief, and then scolded: "Insatiable, I have eaten all the meat, and I don't even have soup left for our family, damn it!" Damn it! ”

didn't want to, but Tian Shizhong stopped Liang Fangping and said, "The eunuch is cautious." ”

Liang Fangping frowned, and was displeased: "The great work is gone, can't we scold a few words?" ”

Tian Shizhong was very clever, and when he saw Liang Fangping's appearance, he knew that Liang Fangping, the dead eunuch, was unhappy, and he quickly explained: "The eunuch is tolerant, Cai Zi is a person, although he is a little greedy, but he has always been negotiable. ”

After Tian Shizhong reminded him like this, Liang Fangping immediately understood what Tian Shizhong meant, and he said secretly: "Yes, if you can't fight, you can't fight, our family can still discuss with Cai still like last time, this great achievement still can't run to the ground." ”

Thinking of this, Liang Fangping poked Tian Shizhong's head with his index finger and said, "You little monkey is still smart!" ”

……

In fact, before last night, Cai still hadn't thought about attacking Zhang Liang's cottage.

This kind of battle, without the use of gunpowder, will definitely cause a lot of casualties, don't look at Zhang Liang's cottage there are only 1,000 men and horses.

Cai is still not Yue Fei, Cai is still familiar with history, and Cai is still very aware of how tragic the battle of Yubi and Zhang Xun's defense of Suiyang ended up.

Therefore, Cai still secretly decided a long time ago that he would never fight this kind of battle.

Of course, Cai still has the capital not to fight tough battles.

As long as Cai is still willing, he will soon be able to create powerful granular gunpowder, with the power of that gunpowder, it is not a matter of minutes to blow up the city wall, and even Cai can still develop more powerful explosives, this difficulty is greater in this era, and it is unlikely to be mass-produced at the current industrial level, but it doesn't matter, Cai is still familiar with the explosives production process, sooner or later he can solve these problems one by one.

In addition to gunpowder and explosives, Cai still has many methods, such as making gliders, flying hot air balloons into the city, and so on......

All in all, Cai, who has more advanced technology, still has the capital not to fight tough battles.

It's just that Cai is still not playing for himself now, there is no need to work so hard, and there is no need to expose his hole cards.

It must be known that once Cai still exposes these, he may have to "hand them over to the state".

Cai is still not so great, and it is not worth Cai to be so selfless for them.

Taking a step back, even if Cai still showed his head and handed over these things to Da Yi, with the mediocrity of those emperors, and with the struggle between those ministers, these things may not be effectively used in the end.

So, it's better not to let these things come out for now, and then let them come out when you have the strength to protect them.

Let's talk about attacking Zhang Liang Cottage.

First of all, this Zhang Liang cottage, whether it is fought or not does not affect the overall situation, Cai still does not dare to leave Zhang Liang cottage for half a step, and then take a step back and say, even if they leave Zhang Liang cottage, they dare not have the ability to rescue the Song Jiang rebels on Dui Su Mountain, in other words, Cai Ying's task has been completed.

Moreover, Cai still and Jin Wujun have made enough contributions, and there is really no need to lose troops and attack Zhang Liang's cottage.

And in the future, Huang Qianshan and Liang Fangping led the army to exterminate the Song Jiang Righteous Army on Dui Su Mountain, and then led the army to Zhang Liang Mountain, at that time, it was possible to attack Zhang Liang Cottage and force the Song Jiang Righteous Army of Zhang Liang Cottage to surrender, in short, it would be easy to exterminate the Song Jiang Righteous Army in Zhang Liang Cottage at that time.

Therefore, Cai still had no reason to risk huge casualties to attack Zhang Liang's cottage.

But Wang Sheng, the commander of the rear army, found a reason for Cai to attack Zhang Liang's cottage.

Yesterday evening, Wang Sheng brought Mu Heng, who he was in charge of guarding, to Cai Ying, and said, "General, Brother Mu Heng said that he is willing to submit to the general, and he is also willing to make meritorious contributions to the general to defeat Zhang Liang's cottage." ”

Seeing that Wang Sheng was very positive and had nothing to do, Cai still looked at Mu Heng and said, "Then tell me, how can you help me build Zhang Liang Cottage?" ”

At that time, Cai still had already made up his mind, as long as the method Mu Heng said was a little unreliable or required large casualties to achieve, he would definitely refuse.

No, Mu Heng said: "It shouldn't be clear how the general defeated me in the village now, right?" ”

Cai still thought about it for a while, and said in his heart: "Even if a few of them escaped back, it is estimated that they can only know a rough idea, and it should not be clear how they were defeated." He said, "It may not be clear." ”

Mu Heng said: "This is simple, the general only needs to send a battalion of men and horses to disguise themselves as my subordinates, and I will take them to escape back to Zhangliang Cottage overnight, and then the inside and outside should be combined, and they will definitely be able to capture Zhangliang Cottage in one fell swoop." ”

Cai still thought about it: "This is a good way, and there shouldn't be too many casualties." ”

Seeing that Cai was still a little moved, Wang Sheng took the initiative to ask Ying: "The last general is willing to lead the brothers in the rear camp to disguise themselves as traitors to deceive the Zhaimen with the Mu Heng brothers!" ”

Cai still thought to himself: "Even if this matter is not successful, there should not be too many casualties, and once it succeeds, the credit I have made on Zhang Liangshan, others can't snatch it even if they want to." ”

Thinking of this, Cai still called a group of generals and a group of staff, and everyone discussed and planned carefully to improve the battle plan designated by Mu Heng, so that it would have a greater probability of success.

That night, Wang Sheng and Mu Heng led the Houying people to deceive the gate of Zhang Liang's cottage.

Cai Ying, who was sitting in the rear, didn't know if Mu Heng was acting too really, or if the Song Jiang rebels who were already waiting for the village to break down and die were paralyzed after finally seeing some reinforcements and hope of survival, in short, they were really deceived by Wang Sheng and Mu Heng to open the gate of Zhang Liang's cottage, and then the two led the rear camp to kill it.

Niu Gao, the commander of the middle battalion who was in charge of the response, saw that Wang Sheng led the rear battalion to kill it, and immediately led the middle battalion to follow and kill it.

Seeing that the general trend had gone, Yan Qing decisively ordered people to give up resistance and surrendered on his knees.

Soon, Zhang Liang's cottage was occupied by Wang Sheng and Niu Gao.

By the time dawn, the back camp and the middle camp had already cleaned up Zhang Liang Cottage, and then went down the mountain together to invite Cai to stay in Zhang Liang Cottage.

Things are going so smoothly that Cai still can't help but sigh: "It's really intentional to plant flowers and flowers not to bloom and unintentionally plant willows and willows!" ”

It is better to live in a cottage than to live in a tent, and more importantly, Zhang Liangzhai holds the throat of the entire Zhang Liangshan, which is a place where soldiers must fight.

Therefore, Cai was still not polite, and directly led the army to live in Zhang Liang's cottage, and re-subordinated the Jinwu army and the people led by Zhang Wei and Jiang Xingzu, and completely occupied Zhang Liangshan.

After doing all this, Cai still sent someone to recruit the division to report the victory, and wanted to tell the people in the recruitment department that he had completely solved the Song Jiang righteous army along the way of Zhang Liangshan, and by the way, asked them to report the merits of himself and the soldiers of the Jinwu army to ask for a reward.

But what Cai still didn't expect was that the people he sent to report the victory soon came back five and reported to himself: "General Yu, recruit Si Liang Du Supervisor to lead 20,000 troops to reinforce us, and now the people are in Taohuagou, Liang Du Supervisor ordered us to return directly, I don't know whether to return, Wang Dutou (Wang Lan, the first deputy capital head of the rear camp to attack Zhang Liang's cottage last night) ordered me to wait for instructions, and he led others to stand by." ”

Cai was still very satisfied with Wang Lan's reaction, you know, not everyone had the courage to disobey Shangguan's orders.

Cai still said in his heart: "It seems that my usual education for them is still effective. ”

After sending these five people back to call Wang Lan and them back first, Cai still gathered a group of officers of the Jinwu Army, and then personally led them to meet Liang Fangping and others.

As soon as they met, Liang Fangping smiled and said: "Ziyin is a well-trained soldier, and our family can't order them." ”

As soon as Cai still heard it, he knew that Liang Fangping was talking about Wang Lan and their team.

Cai still didn't answer Liang Fangping's words, but said with a smile: "I don't know that the capital prison is coming, I miss the distance, and I ask the capital prison to forgive the crime." ”

Liang Fangping also wanted to continue to talk about Wang Lan and them, and even wanted Cai to punish Wang Lan and them.

But just as Liang Fangping was about to speak, Tian Shizhong coughed lightly and reminded Liang Fangping that he still had something to discuss with Cai Ying, don't miss a big thing because of a small matter.

After Tian Shizhong's reminder, Liang Fangping remembered that compared with real military exploits, Wang Lan and his few unpromising soldiers were really not worth mentioning.

Therefore, Liang Fangping immediately put on a smiling face and said: "Ziyin is polite to our family, from Henan to Hebei, our family and Ziyin are also old friends who have experienced life and death." ”

As soon as he saw Liang Fangping's attitude, Cai still knew that this greedy dead eunuch must have something to ask for him.

What to ask for?

Cai still thinks about it with his heels, and he can think of it.

In this regard, although Cai is still a little disdainful, he is not disgusted, and even has some expectations.

You must know that Cai still has something to ask for - not to mention the promotion and expansion of the army, on this basis, Cai still must ensure that his own people are promoted and make a fortune, and ensure the integrity of the Jinwu Army that he finally formed.

Therefore, Cai still immediately followed Liang Fangping's words and said: "The capital eunuch is right, I and the capital eunuch can indeed be regarded as old friends, huh...... In this case, I have something to ask the capital prisoner, but the capital prison can never refuse. ”

Liang Fangping said: "Ziyin Dan said that it doesn't hurt. ”

Cai still said: "I am going to give Captain Gao a good news to ask for a reward for the soldiers of my Jinwu army, and this good news may also be seen by the officials, I don't know what kind of language the officials like, and I also ask the capital supervisor to help me as a staff officer." ”

Although the excuse is not very good, and there is not even anything new, it doesn't matter, as long as Liang Fangping can understand it.

Of course, Liang Fangping can understand that last time Cai still used this excuse to give him a great merit that he could use for a lifetime.

Liang Fangping really couldn't help the excitement in his heart, and immediately took care of it: "This matter is what our family is good at, we have served the official family in the palace for six years, and we are clear about the preferences of the official family. ”

Cai still smiled: "So, let's discuss it now?" ”

How could Liang Fangping be unwilling, he said with a smile on his face: "Ziyin, please." ”

Cai still smiled and said, "Please supervise it." ”

Subsequently, the two walked side by side towards Zhang Liang's cottage......
