Chapter 178: Clever plan or failure

Qingzhou Mansion is worried.

Qingfeng Village has been broken by thieves, and now the thieves of Qingfeng Mountain are besieging Qingzhou, and the thieves are under fierce artillery fire, and the Qingzhou soldiers do not dare to go out of the city to fight.

Hua Rong wanted to lead his troops out of the city several times, but Huang Xin poured cold water, saying that the thieves had powerful firearms, the arrows had a long range, and there was not much left before the army could rush forward. Murong Prefect was even more afraid, Qingzhou had already lost Qin Ming, and if Hua Rong was lost again, how could there be a general to lead the army, and he would not agree to go out of the city.

Therefore, Qingzhou closed the city gates, and the soldiers stood at the head of the city, waiting for work, ready to repel the thieves who came to attack the city. Fortunately, the thieves thundered heavily and rained, and after the small attack was repulsed several times, they surrounded the city, except for occasional bombardment, and there was no action.

But it didn't work today, Uncle Zhang gave a death order at night, immediately defeated the thieves, and three days later joined forces in Jeju to jointly encircle and suppress the thieves in Yangsanpo.

How good is that?

Murong Liushen had no master, and kept patting his head. Hua Rong asked for the order to attack again, but Murong categorically refused, he couldn't keep his one-third of an acre, and what kind of plan to suppress bandits, jokes!

There are many people with high wisdom, and Zhang Wen, one of Murong's staff, suddenly said: "My lord, the villain has a plan to solve the urgent need!" ”

Everyone turned their heads to look at him, and Zhang Wenmei said with a smile: "The thieves are powerful, and the firearms are sharp, and the adults led the Qingzhou soldiers to resist hard, and the city will not be lost." Now the sergeants have suffered serious casualties, and the arrows are short of food and grass, how can they resist the attacks of the thieves again and again, regardless of life and death! Now you should repair the book and ask for help from Jeju and the Imperial Court to relieve the siege! ”

What a plan!

I can't protect myself, how can I send troops to Jeju, and the responsibility has been kicked away. Murong was overjoyed, immediately drafted an official document, and sent it out quickly.

For several days, the Liangshanbo team was a rain of arrows, and the officers and soldiers retreated without a trace as soon as they charged. A few days later, under the repeated urging of the prince, the coalition army had already set up camp on the border of Shuiqiu. Now it has become a dog biting hedgehog, and the thieves and tigers in Liangshan do not come out of the hole, and there is only one way to fight with the coalition land forces.

The prince was very interested in requisitioning ships this time, and immediately sent people to Jeju counties to collect ships. In an instant, chickens and dogs jumped among the rural fishermen, and the officers and soldiers took advantage of the situation to seize it by force, and the people were full of complaints.

The coalition troops stationed next to the lake were attacked from time to time by the heroes of Liangshan, and Shang Hong, the general of Yizhou, could not stand this kind of harassment, and led more than 300 soldiers to chase and fight, but there was no return. Uncle Zhang ordered that he only had to take strict precautions, not to pursue, and only waited for the arrival of the ships before launching a general attack.

But even so, the coalition forces could not rest at ease. At night, the soldiers had just fallen asleep, when suddenly a burst of artillery fire bombed the camp, gongs were beaten, and shouts rang out everywhere. The soldiers hurriedly draped themselves and lit torches, but there was no one to be seen. As soon as he fell asleep, the sound of artillery began again, and he got up to defend himself against the enemy, but there was no one to be seen. After such a repetition, the coalition forces were angry and had no temper, scolding Song Jiang for being despicable, ignoring it and being afraid that it would be true, and ignoring it but not seeing anyone. In the end, Uncle Zhang was helpless and ordered to retreat a few miles away from Shuibo and go down to the village, temporarily leaving this endless and frightening harassment.

The next day, the generals rubbed their eyes and yawned. It happened that the expedited official document in Qingzhou arrived, and Uncle Zhang was furious after reading it, threw the official document on the ground and said: "It's just nonsense, how can there be 20,000 thieves in Qingfeng Mountain!" Murong Lao'er is trying to cover up, so as to prevaricate the psychology of cowardice and shirk the responsibility of not sending troops, which is really hateful! ”

Fu Shuolin, the supervisor of Puzhou's soldiers and horses, picked it up and said: "My lord, maybe this is true, the official document said that he also sent a letter to the capital, whether we can save Qingzhou or not, we should really consider it!" ”

"Where is he sending an official document to the capital, it is clearly a report to the concubine! The generals think about it, if there are 20,000 people besieging the city in Qingfeng Mountain, counting the thieves and their families guarding the village, what a huge number this is, and how can Qingfeng Mountain feed it. If this is the case, the current counties of Qingzhou may have been robbed long ago! ”

Uncle Zhang sighed and said: "When I heard that I was promoted and made a fortune, I squeezed my head and drilled into it, but now the country is in trouble and needs to come forward, but I have played the abacus exquisitely." Everyone is for themselves and seeks personal interests everywhere, but such officials are like fish in water in the court, and heaven cannot tolerate it! ”

Everyone is a military general, and they are suppressed by civilian officials everywhere, and it is inevitable that there will be a cry in their hearts. Uncle Zhang said again: "You are all loyal and good people of the country, and you should serve the country with all your heart!" Now that the country is in trouble, bandits are everywhere, even if the blood is spilled on the battlefield, it should not lose the iron backbone of a military general! Ladies and gentlemen, we must unite and work together to eliminate the Liangshan Bo thieves! ”

The generals agreed.

The number of ships was insufficient, but official documents followed. First of all, the Dongping Mansion urgently issued an official document saying that the Liangshan Bo thief army attacked Dongping Mansion and begged Zhang Zhifu to release Dong Ping, the governor of Dongping Mansion, and let him lead the headquarters to rescue. Dong Ping was anxious in his heart, and looked at Uncle Zhang at night, because there was a girl he liked in the city, Cheng Wanli's daughter Cheng Jing. New Lewen

Uncle Zhang hurriedly explained at night that this was a trick by the thieves in Liangshanbo, pretending to attack Dongping Mansion, intending to relieve the disaster of encirclement and suppression. Dong Ping felt reasonable, although he was impatient in his heart, he couldn't fall for the thieves because of a small mistake.

Pressing the gourd to float the scoop, just persuaded Dong Ping, another urgent letter made Uncle Zhang almost drop his eyeballs at night. This is an urgent official document from Dongchang Mansion, also known as the Liangshan Bo Thief Army attacking Dongchang Mansion, begging Uncle Zhang to release Zhang Qing of Dongchang Mansion at night and let him lead his headquarters to rescue immediately.

Uncle Zhang smiled bitterly at night, and could only use the same words to stabilize Zhang Qing and surround Wei to save Zhao, a strategy that the generals all knew. Seeing that Zhang Qing also focused on the overall situation, Zhang Shuye felt that the situation was tense and immediately raised his account.

All the generals gathered, and the prince of the supervising army also arrived slowly, and Zhang Shuye reported the current military situation to everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, it is obvious that Liang Shanbo used troops against Dongchang Mansion and Dongping Mansion with the intention of disrupting the position of the coalition army and solving the dilemma of being encircled and suppressed. We should stabilize the morale of the army and not be succeeded by the conspiracy of the thieves. Especially the two generals, Dong Ping and Zhang Qing, should stabilize the sergeants of the two governments, and they can't mess up first! ”

Uncle Zhang said with joy on his face: "It seems that the thief uses the army like this, but in fact, the door is wide open, this is our best opportunity to destroy the thief!" Everyone thinks, the thieves are attacking the city in two ways, and the nest must be empty, and the day has come for us to take Liangshanbo in one go! ”

The generals were overjoyed when they heard this, and the prince was even more excited, and couldn't help but admire Cai Jing, Zhang Shuye recommended by him was really a general, and he would find a plan to destroy the enemy in an instant. Then he raised his head and said: "Everyone obeys the dispatch of Governor Zhang and works together to destroy the thief!" Especially General Dong and General Zhang must not let the sergeants have distracting thoughts, otherwise our family will not spare you! ”

The generals said in unison: "Obey the order of the prefect Zhang!" ”

"That's good! Since all the generals have the heart to serve the country, we will catch Liang Shanbo off guard and let him take care of one thing and lose the other, regardless of the end! ”

Uncle Zhang said: "Wang Zhusi immediately drafted the urgent paperwork. Order: Murong Yanda, the prefect of Qingzhou, will drag the Qingfeng Mountain thieves at all costs, and if the thieves retreat, they will immediately pursue them. As long as the thieves are not allowed to have the opportunity to help Liang Shanbo, it will be a great achievement! Order: Dongchang Prefecture Governor Dang Ruichen, hold the city, no fighting, if the thieves retreat, immediately follow the tail, dragging the thieves' footsteps is a great achievement! Order: Chen Wanli, the governor of Dongping Prefecture, hold the city tightly, and must not fight, if the thieves retreat, they will immediately follow the tail and chase after them, and it will be the first merit to drag the thieves' footsteps! ”

Uncle Zhang smiled and said: "It seems that Song Jiang used a clever plan, but it is actually a failure. Now he has scattered to four battlefields with limited troops, and when it is time for our general attack, we will see how he is in a hurry and how to deal with the dilemma! ”

Wang Gonggong smiled and said in a voice that was neither yin nor yang: "Governor Zhang's clever plan, this crackdown on bandits will definitely succeed!" After saying that, he looked up to the sky and laughed, and the generals laughed too.

Zhang Shuye said to Wang Zhisi again: "Add another urgent official document to the three prefects, and let them act according to the previous official document, otherwise the suppression of bandits will fail, and the three of them will be the first offender." This government will definitely let the prince play the name of the saint, seize the official and remove the knight, and be convicted and imprisoned! ”

"That's right! Write like this! Let's just say that our family will never spare them! Wang Gonggong said excitedly: "Governor Zhang's heart is as meticulous as a millimeter, he is really a general!" ”

Uncle Zhang arched his hand and said: "The prince is falsely praised, Ji Zhongshi doesn't dare to be it!" After speaking, he turned his head to Yao Zhongyou and said, "Collect ships at all costs, and then transport all the ships collected!" ”

After Yao Zhongyou took the order and left, he said to the generals: "You go back and prepare, just wait for the ships to arrive, and we will launch a general attack!" ”

The generals retreated.

In the Juyi Hall, Song Jiang, Wu Yong, Gongsun Sheng, and Lin Chong looked at the news sent by Dai Zong's envoy, and Song Jiang said: "I don't want Uncle Zhang to be really calm at night, such a toss can't disrupt his deployment, he is calm and comfortable, he really deserves to be the commander-in-chief!" ”

Wu Yong said: "Uncle Zhang is indeed talented, and now he is requisitioning a large number of ships and wants to tread water to land on Liangshan for a decisive battle. It seems that he has forgotten the pain of the scar, and he wants to taste the power of my copycat water army so soon! ”

Song Jiang smiled calmly: "I won't let him disturb the tranquility of Shuibo, and I don't want to use a boat to attack the cottage." Staff Officer Wu asked the scouts to find out where the ship was stored, and let's have a bonfire party for Uncle Zhang at night. ”

Gongsun Sheng smiled lightly: "If Uncle Zhang doesn't vomit blood at night, he will be a bloodless thief." ”

Everyone was amused by Gongsun Sheng's cold humor, and after a while, Song Jiang said: "Master Lin, immediately fly pigeons to pass the book, the attacks of Dongping Mansion and Dongchang Mansion are strengthened, just like a real fight!" Set up an ambush on the way, and capture Dong Ping alive with two guns from Dongping Mansion and Zhang Qing from Dongchang Mansion. Pluck out Uncle Zhang's feathers and see how this hairless eagle flies! ”

The four of them laughed.
