Chapter 244 Idle Eggs Hurt to Play Pigeons?
Xu Guanzhong was surprised, how did Song Jiang know that he was going to Dagu Mountain?
Immediately felt that Song Jiang was mysterious, but he would not go with Song Jiang no matter what. Influenced by Confucianism since childhood, even if he rots his stomach with a belly of learning, he will not be in the same league as thieves, although this group of thieves is famous. Therefore, Xu Guanzhong tried his best to excuse himself.
Song Jiang saw that he was as stubborn as a stubborn donkey, more stubborn than the nail households demolished in later generations, and couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, the biggest gain of the battle of the Daimyo's Mansion is to pull you up the mountain, but you are an elm head who admits death, see how I pull out this nail.
He said with a sullen face: "Mr. Xu seems to be upright, but he is not happy at all, why don't you tell him what you are worried about, but you are looking for a reason to prevaricate here." Sir just disdains to be in the company of thieves! ”
One sentence said what he was thinking, and Xu Guanzhong said with some humility: "Commander Song is too worried!" ”
Song Jiang said: "I'll let you see what kind of thieves we are, see clearly and think clearly before you make a decision!" Brother Yanqing! ”
Yan Qing hurriedly said, "What is the commander's dispatch?" ”
"In the past few days, you have accompanied Mr. Xu around the streets to see how we thieves treat the people, and by the way, ask the people what they think. In the past few days, the city gates are closed, and the Daimyo's Mansion is not allowed to leave the city, and Mr. Xu should not use his brain to leave, I will send someone to take care of the life of Mr. Xu's mother and his family. Leave! ”
After saying goodbye, Song Jiang said goodbye, turned around and left, but smiled secretly in his heart: "If you don't want to go up the mountain, I will tie you up to the mountain and slowly change your pedantic loyalty to the king!" ”
"It has long been heard that the thieves occupy the water, invade the people, rob the city, and obstruct the conquest of the heavenly army by virtue of their geographical advantages. Now the thieves have left the lair without permission, they have lost their geographical advantage, and they have divided their troops to attack the city of Beijing, which has a wide range of soldiers and food, and then they have lost people, which is really their own disaster. If you use the strategy of encircling Wei to save Zhao now, first take Liangshanbo and destroy its lair, the thieves will definitely retreat to rescue each other, and then set up an ambush halfway, and then let the Daimyo's Mansion send troops to take advantage of the situation to chase and kill, and discipline him not to take care of each other. Guan is not talented, and he led tens of thousands of elite soldiers to go! Guan made a military order here, and if he didn't succeed, he was willing to receive military law! ”
People have arrived in Jeju, and their hearts are still in Bianliang.
Guan Sheng rode a tall horse, his beautiful hair fluttering in the wind, and there was no joy or sorrow on his red face, but his mind still circled the military order that Tokyo had set up in front of Cai Jing.
He has mixed feelings in his heart, a man should be promising in the world, I want me Guan Sheng to be familiar with military books, deep in martial arts, but now he is doing a small inspection, a body of martial arts and full of strategy is like a shackle that binds himself, the more useless he feels, the more depressed he feels.
Usually I can only sigh that Maxima often has, and Bole does not often have, but now the opportunity has finally come, after his friend praised and recommended himself, the Privy Council not only listened to his own strategy, but also worshiped himself as the commander of the expedition, and made every effort to exterminate the Liangshan Bo thieves. And in order to make this battle go smoothly, Cai Jing did not send a supervisor army for the first time.
A hero with three gangs, a fence with three piles, Guan Sheng did not forget to pull the poor buddies together. The sworn brother Jing Mu Qian Hao Siwen is proficient in eighteen martial arts, but no one appreciates it, so he can only let this thousand-mile horse be buried in the mortal dust, and now take this good opportunity to recommend him as the vanguard of the conquest army.
Lingzhou regimental training envoy Shan Tinggui and Wei Dingguo are friends of Guan Sheng, not to mention that the two are proficient in martial arts, and they both have unique skills, and the water and fire array is unpredictable. Now he was also recommended by Guan Sheng to jointly assist the army in the conquest of the Liangshan Bo thieves, and the two had to order themselves to lead the soldiers and horses of Benzhou to help.
Guan Sheng originally wanted to ask for the rest of the soldiers and horses from neighboring prefectures and counties, but he thought that the personnel were not familiar with each other, and the cooperation would definitely not be harmonious, and when the time came, he would not listen to the order and become a two-layer skin, but would become a burden, so he asked for 25,000 forbidden troops in the capital, and transferred 10,000 soldiers and horses from Pucheng, together with 15,000 troops from Lingzhou, a total of 50,000 troops to kill Liangshanbo.
Guan Sheng also heard a little that the heroes of Liangshan were good at harassing and ambushing, taking advantage of the chaotic flood to fish and break through. Therefore, his team is in the shape of a snake, taking care of both the beginning and the end, and does not give the thieves a chance to break through.
He warned the pioneer Hao Siwen not to go deep alone, and to keep a distance of four or five miles from the Chinese army, and after the merger, Xuanzan was about ten miles away from the Chinese army, but he was less than two miles away from Duan Minggui, the general who escorted the grain and grass, and was obviously guarding the grain and grass.
After camping every night, Guan Shengzhong's big tent was surrounded by ambushes, and the candles in the tent were lit all night. But every morning is disappointed, and the thief seems to have clairvoyance and sees through his trap. From Tokyo to Jeju, he didn't see half of the thieves attacking, which made Guan Sheng very unaccustomed, and he always felt unsteady in his heart, knowing that if the enemy was quiet on the battlefield, he would not be able to calm down.

On this day, when he arrived near Yangsanbo, Guan Sheng asked Duan Minggui to leave some grain and grass, and escorted the rest to Jeju City along the official road, so as not to let the thieves burn the army's morale.
On the official road of Jeju, the team escorting grain and grass was mighty, and the team of more than 1,000 people carrying grain walked in an orderly manner. At this time, the sun was shining, and the soldiers were warm and lazy.
Duan Minggui rode a horse and walked in front, and the general next to him said to him: "General Duan, it is said that the thieves in Liangshan are fierce, cunning, good at stumbling, and use ambush to ambush Yin people. All the way over, but quietly, it seems that they were frightened by our army, and they lived in the puddle and became a turtle with a shrunken head! ”
Another general next to him said: "The thieves are really incomprehensible, which is contrary to their usual style, but the young general thinks that the thieves are divided into troops to attack Beijing, and the cottage has limited manpower, so he can't distinguish people to carry out the attack." Now they must concentrate their forces to defend the village with all their might, and dare to send people and horses to death! ”
Although Duan Minggui is the youngest son of Taiwei Duan Chang, he is by no means a pure young master, he heard that the two of them had the heart to despise the enemy, and immediately said: "The thief is standing in the water, and he has defeated my soldiers and horses several times, he must have his superiority, and the two of them should not be underestimated!" Now that the thief is dark, we must be careful to protect the grain and grass, and we must not take it lightly! ”
As he was talking, he found some wooden boxes around the bend in front of him, with small holes around them, and there was a rattle in them, and I don't know what was inside? The soldier didn't dare to open it without authorization, so he came to ask Duan Minggui how to deal with it.
Duan Minggui was also surprised in his heart, there seemed to be nothing unusual in front of him from a distance, and there were no crossbars or pits on the road ahead, indicating that there were no intercepted bandits. But what's going on with this box, what's in it rattling?
The more strange it was, the more he wanted to know the truth, Duan Minggui asked the soldier to open a box, only to see a few birds flying into the sky in the box. He looked up and saw that there were clearly a few ordinary pigeons hovering in the air.
Duan Minggui ordered all the boxes to be opened, but saw that all the pigeons that flew out of them were ordinary pigeons. Who is full of food and puts the pigeon here to play with idle eggs? Was it intentional or unintentionally lost?
Wrong! There's definitely something wrong here, but what's the problem? Duan Minggui looked up at the pigeon in the sky again, and was suddenly shocked, turned his horse's head and shouted: "Set up the formation!" Defense! Distress! ”
Therefore, the officers and men hurriedly unloaded the cattle pulling the grain carts, and the grain wagons were arranged in a circular formation one after another, and the soldiers relied on the grain wagons to defend themselves. At the same time, the sound of many horses' hooves sounded in all directions, and a large number of cavalry appeared on both sides, rushing towards the grain team in black pressure.
The officers and soldiers suddenly felt half cold, so many cavalry, can they still use knives to cut? They were trampled to death with horses alone.
Xuanzan led the troops to the rescue quickly, but when they arrived at the battlefield, they saw that the smoke was everywhere, dead bodies everywhere, and the grain and grass that had been burned to ashes were still in a ring, like several huge mouths laughing at the late Xuanzan.
There was still a trace of green smoke rising from the ashes, twisting his thin waist, and he swayed into the air, gathering into a huge black ghost, looking at the frightened wounded soldiers and powerless rescuers on the ground like ants.
Where is there still half a thief!
Quiet as a virgin, moving like a rabbit, these thieves should not be underestimated, stabbed the opponent in the soft underbelly, and then ran so much that he couldn't even see the figure.
Thinking of this, Xuanzan couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine, it seems that this war is a bit tricky, these thieves are not aggressive. Xuanzan looked at the ground that was blown up and was stunned, and he had heard for a long time that the gunpowder weapons of the thieves were powerful, and they were really extraordinary.
He hurriedly ordered the defeated soldiers to be collected and the wounded to be rescued, and at this time the soldiers brought a lightly wounded general.
Xuanzan asked, "How did you fight this battle?" Not to mention the defeat, and the thieves burned the grain and grass in an instant, how many times did you block the thieves' attacks? ”
