338, Liangshanbo vs. Zengtou City (5)

Zeng Lane and others then sent many people to Liangshanbo and the surrounding areas to investigate.

Within a few days, the news came back one after another,

First of all, Liu Cheng's words were verified from some minions who took the initiative to leave Liangshan before, and the previous owner of the village, Wang Lun, was really killed by a person named Liu Ting, that Liu Ting was originally Wang Lun's cronies, but he defected to the battle, which was a great achievement, but he did not have anything to do in the subsequent meritorious deeds and reward rankings.

The second is that although Liang Shanbo is doing the business of occupying the mountain as the king, going down the mountain to rob the road and collecting tolls, but he is extremely "benevolent", not to hurt people's lives, not to mention the robbery of people's daughters, and actually only charges a small and pitiful little tolls for passengers, and sometimes in the face of some poor people, not only does not charge a copper plate, but also escorts them across the mountain with laughter, and there are three days of fishing and two days of drying nets.

And from the mouths of many travelers, I also know that this phenomenon has lasted for more than half a year, thinking that hundreds of people in Liangshan are waiting for dinner, how can this harvest be enough?

There is another point in Liangshanbo that is even more difficult to understand, Zeng Lane selected a few people who have some names in the rivers and lakes in the Zengtou City Army to go to Liangshan to pretend to join the gang, so that they can go up the mountain to investigate on the spot, but the result is that Liangshan does not accept it at all, so that these people do not even enter the mountain gate, and directly and politely said, "This village is currently short of money and food, and will not accept people for the time being, please find another job." ”

Zeng Lane still didn't give up, and found people in the army who had a relationship with the leaders on Liangshan to go to Liangshan in the name of visiting, and the result was ...... Although the other party agreed to meet, he still didn't let him enter the mountain gate, but just made an appointment to meet at the bottom of the mountain. Then he speculated and inquired about the situation on the mountain, and the other party was even more firmly mouthed, and he didn't say a word.

In addition, Liangshan has a lot of incomprehensible behaviors, such as the Liangshan thieves are said to have changed their names, what is the name of the Heavenly Dao Army, what is the use of a robber mountain called the army?

All kinds of signs show that this Liangshanbo exudes a strange feeling everywhere, and it doesn't look like a robber mountain at all!

Zeng Lane and others immediately started an analysis after getting the information,

First of all, it was determined that Liu Ting and Liu Cheng did have the motive to betray Liangshan.

The second is to determine that Liangshan must not be short of money and food, but since they are not short of money and food, why don't they accept people? Even the basic etiquette is gone, and outsiders are not allowed to go up the mountain!

I'm afraid there is only one reason, that is, there is a secret on the mountain, and I am afraid that outsiders will go up the mountain to find out!

Now it is very clear that Liang Shanbo must have robbed twice in a row. The real murderer who robbed Zeng Tou City and seriously injured Zeng Mi!

Now that the real murderer has been determined, Zeng Lang is furious again, and a group of small Liangshan thieves actually dare to plot against themselves, they are really tired of being crooked! Zeng Lane immediately ordered the whole army to start making preparations, and he wanted to personally go out to exterminate the Liangshan bandits!

And the first thing to do is to follow the method that Liu Cheng said, get in touch with them before the attack, and discuss the strategy of combining the inside and the outside.

Although Liang Shan has a small number of people, it does occupy a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and he holds a killing weapon such as a divine arm bow, Zeng is not stupid, he and Shi Wengong are extremely suspicious of what forces are behind Liang Shanbo, otherwise how should the divine arm bow be explained? In particular, the officers and soldiers of the prefectures and counties under the mountain have not conscripted and suppressed the Liangshan bandits for more than half a year, which is even more intriguing!

What's more, Zeng Lang also has a ghost in his heart, although his secret dealings with the Dajin Kingdom are very hidden, but after all, there is no impermeable wall in this world, Zeng Lang has reason to suspect that this matter has been known to the Song Dynasty, but the imperial court is hindered by the Dajin Kingdom, and it is not easy to send troops to recruit themselves, so they secretly recruited the Liangshan thieves and borrowed their hands to find their own trouble!

Even the last time he almost attacked Gaotang Prefecture, it is very likely that the imperial court deliberately wanted to force himself to strike first, so that he could give himself the name of "rebellion" and then justifiably recruit himself!

Therefore, Zeng Lane cherished the army in his hands more and more, and he could avoid any casualties, and when he attacked Liangshan, he would capture Zheng Linfeng alive, and before he was cut with a thousand knives, he must torture him to find out if he had really been recruited by the imperial court to deal with him, if it was, Zeng Lane must immediately change his strategy and do a good job!

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Three days later, in a sparsely populated place at the foot of Liangshan, Liu Ting and Liu Cheng met Zeng Kui and Shi Wengong and others who were pretending to be passers-by.

Zeng Kui and Shi Wengong originally had doubts about Liu Ting, this time they specially brought a god stick surnamed Zhuge in Zengtou City who can read faces, although Zhuge God stick is a mixed rice eater, but he has to know a little bit of "business", as soon as he saw Liu Ting, he immediately saw that this person did have an anti-bone face, but a capricious villain, Zeng Kui and others put their minds at ease.

After some bargaining, the two sides happily agreed that three days later, Liu Ting and Liu Cheng were on duty to guard the mountain gate, and the Zengtou City army would quietly rush to Liangshan Park that night, and then Liu Ting and the two would find an opportunity to let dozens of Zengtou City soldiers sneak into the cottage, and then the Zengtou City army suddenly attacked Liangshanbo to attract the main force on the mountain, and when the rear was empty, Liu Ting led the way to Zheng Linfeng's location, if he could catch Zheng Linfeng, it would be good if he could catch him, and if he could not be caught, he could also control his family, and he should be able to take Liangshan in one fell swoop!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Two days later, because most of the troops in Zengtou City were stationed outside the city, when Zeng Lane led Zeng Tu, Zeng Suo, Zeng Kui and Shi Wengong to leave Zengtou City with an army of 4,000, not many people noticed.

In Zengtou City, only Zeng Sheng and Su Ding led less than 500 people to guard Zengtou City.

This time, Zeng Lane almost went out and vowed to break through Liangshanbo!
