The people and horses of Xujiazhuang have been retained since the anti-Liao period.

In addition, Xu Jin is a smuggler, and like a salt dealer, he is a high-risk occupation, and these people under his command often practice.

On the dock, the Xie Zhen and Xie Bao brothers of Huating City's Bo Division greeted him attentively and said with a smile: "Master Xu Zhuang has come from afar to work hard, please come into the lobby to rest." ”

The people of Huating City are all Song Jiang's subordinates, and they are very familiar with Xu Jin.

After everyone was polite, Xu Jin smiled conceitedly: "Yang Shaozai uses soldiers like gods, soldiers and horses from all walks of life, like pearls, continuous and endless, although it is a perfect strategy, it is also a little too careful."

Fang La, a grass Koer, if this thief is in Shandong, why should the imperial court send troops. I only need 2,000 men and horses in my village to discipline him and destroy him.

Now let him occupy the big county, kill the officials and abuse the people, so it is not rampant. Since we are here, we should not delay too much, go and destroy Fang La as soon as possible, and then come back to catch up with you. ”

Xie Zhen and Xie Bao were a little embarrassed, and while they were all his own people, he pulled Xu Jin aside and said in a low voice: "Shaozai ordered, let you stay in Mingzhou, and wait until the time is ripe to mix up some military exploits." ”

Xu Jin's old face turned red, his lips trembled slightly, and he snorted coldly. Xu Jin, who originally thought that he was fighting the main force and felt good about himself, suddenly fell into the ice hole.

He also thought that his son-in-law was discerning and knew how powerful Xujiazhuang was, so he specially invited him to help in the war, but he didn't expect that he would be transferred to take credit.

Shame on you!

"When others fight, we watch from the sidelines, and we have to divide the exploits of others, I Xu Jin is a seven-foot man, my ancestors fought against Liao thieves and protected the township party, how can I do such a thing!"

Xu Jin is not short of money, Xujiazhuang has been smuggling for generations, and he has made a lot of money, and he doesn't want to be an official.

The only thing he wanted was to make a name for himself and regain the glory of his grandfather, and finally had this opportunity, but it was such a pickled thing, and he was trembling with anger.

Xie Zhen Xie Bao brothers glanced at each other, sighed and began to persuade, at this time a herald arrived on horseback, looked at the Zhen Xie Bao brothers from a distance, and rushed to the horse and shouted: "Xie Tiju, Mingzhou is surrounded by Fang La's people, the mountains are full of thieves, and the guard Zhang Shuye sent people to ask for reinforcements." ”

Xu Jin's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and said: "Haha, two brothers, the war is urgent, and it is urgent, Mingzhou can't help it." We are famous this time, can Yang Shaozai still underestimate me? ”

The soldiers and horses of Xujiazhuang are covered in leather armor, holding spears and swords at their waists, showing the temperament of local tyrants. A tall man is not a weak brigade, so he set up a position and rushed to Mingzhou under the leadership of the Xu family's father and daughter.

On the shore of Taihu Lake, the main forces of the two armies confronted each other across the bridge, and the newly proclaimed Holy Prince's Fang La sent Li Tianyan to fight.

Li Tianyan is old, has high martial arts, and has a brave temperament, but he is not as patient as Fang Qifo.

When he arrived in the army, he didn't care about heavy casualties, but when he came up, he launched three fierce attacks, leaving countless corpses, and then he was honest.

Through the command of the past few days, Yang Lin also saw that the strength of the forbidden army had declined seriously, and I am afraid that he would not be able to keep the throne of the first strongest soldier in the Great Song Dynasty for a long time.

The mere anti-thieves, with their rudimentary weapons and rough tactics, will only win and will not take much advantage.

Standing on the lookout platform of Gao Gang, Yang Lin raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and suddenly a little black fat man ran from below.

Song Jiang climbed onto the stage and said excitedly: "Shaozai, all the people from all walks of life have arrived, and in the past few days, the anti-thief spirit has disappeared, and we have the advantage in numbers, is it possible to fight a decisive battle." ”

Yang Lin looked at him and said: "This is just half of Fang La's men, which is comparable to the 50,000 forbidden army, and there are more than 100,000 rebels in Hangzhou City, do you think those soldiers are their opponents?" ”

Song Jiang was stunned and said: "There is always a war, the court has repeatedly urged, if there is no big victory, I am afraid that the court will criticize and slander Shaozai more and more." ”

Yang Lin looked north and said, "The bastards are all in place, I'm waiting for someone who can fight, let's start a war!" ”

"Shaozai is talking about the reinforcements on Yan'an East Road? We can wait, I'm afraid that Fang La will do it in advance..."

Yang Lin smiled and said: "The movements of the anti-thieves are all in my hands, and the officials know everything about it, as long as they move, I will know." ”

Song Jiang suddenly realized, picked up the thumb brother and said: "It turns out that Shaozai has already planted eyeliner, and it is really a traitor... Sure enough, the enemy was the first, and the soldiers were like gods! ”

Yang Lin glanced at him and said viciously: "Strange, this official received the news that Xin Xingzong's three thousand elite horsemen will arrive today, why haven't they come yet?" ”

Song Jiang raised his hand to shade the sun and look into the distance, and suddenly saw a crowd of black oppression, pouring out from the horizon, all cavalry.

"Shaozai! They're coming. ”

On the outskirts of Hangzhou, countless people have been displaced by the war, and these people have slowly gathered together to form piles of refugees.

Fang La has not yet had time to put the refugees in order, their homes burned down in the war, and it is not easy to resettle the homeless.

Among them, a few orphans were even less noticeable, one of whom walked to a stone with a broken bowl, crouched on a stone, and scribbled with a small stone in a very bored manner.

There was also a child behind him, picking lice in his hair.

"Big brother, in the past few days, two teams of people have come out of Hangzhou, and they have gone to the south, and the number is about 1,000."

The squatting boy looked as usual and inadvertently looked left and right, drawing some strange symbols on the stones.

Then he lowered his voice and reprimanded: "How many times have you said it, you are not allowed to call the eldest brother, why can't you remember?" ”

The child behind him stuck out his tongue, not daring to disobey, obviously listening to him very much. When I got closer, the two children had faint scars on their faces, it was Yang Tianren and Yang Tianning.

Yang Tianren is stable by nature and is silent on weekdays, but he really loves his younger brothers. Therefore others obeyed him and were willing to listen to him.

Only Yang Tianai's younger brother, the second Yang Tianci is relatively weak, and he doesn't like to learn martial arts, but likes to study some strange things. He is particularly fascinated by Qimen Dunjia, strange skills, and craftsmanship.

On weekdays, he incoherent up some strange characters and taught them to the brothers, and used them to convey the message, and now he is using them.

Several of Yang Lin's righteous sons took the initiative to ask for battle, and took a group of children from the Banzai battalion to go behind enemy lines to inquire about the military situation.

The identity of children is their best disguise, and the war has brought countless orphans, and no one will suspect a dirty orphan.

These children, because of the Banzai Camp, have been practicing martial arts since childhood to protect themselves.

It's just that these refugees are real refugees, and to survive here, they also need to crawl around on their own.

A rebellion against Fang La, not only Yang Lin's bastards were trained, and the entire Banzai Battalion was being tested.
