Volume 1 The Beginning of the Late Han Dynasty Chapter 8 Outwitting Shouzhang County
The heavens coerced the thunderbolt and moved the entire Liangshan cottage into the late Han Dynasty. It's just that Liangshan is said to be Liangshan, but it is Liangshan in the Han Dynasty, which is a hundred miles longitudinal and horizontal, the mountains are steep, and the population is sparse. Liangshan Bo under Liangshan Mountain, but the Liangshan Bo that the heroes see now is said to be Liangshanbo, but it is also called Onozawa, the Yellow River is diverted, the lake rises and disappears, and the vicissitudes of the sea.
On the shore of Daze Lake at the foot of Liangshan, the people of Shouzhang, Juye, and Fanxian counties rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and rely on the water to draft water, and they should live a prosperous life. But the most difficult thing to disturb the world, in the past two years, the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Qingyan and Yanzhou has revived, attacking the city and occupying the county. Soldiers and bandits fight, soldiers win and kill, and grab stubble; Bandits win, kill a stubble and grab a stubble, how can the counties not be dilapidated.
Today, the county seat of Shouzhang is under the control of the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army. There are dozens of Yellow Turban Army in Qingyan and Yanzhou, this Yellow Turban Army is not many in number, only more than 2,000, it was originally under the command of Qu Shuai Bu Si, and later Bu Si died, they were under the leadership of the leader Tao Sheng, attacked Shouzhang, killed the county officials, occupied the county seat, robbed the official grain to eat the rich and robbed the small people, so unhappy.
In autumn, the morning fog slowly dissipates after the sun comes out. The city gate of Shouzhang County slowly opened, and a small group of Yellow Turban soldiers yawned in front of the city gate, inspecting the pedestrians entering and leaving the city gate. The Yellow Turban Army did not lock the city, firstly, the people had to farm, harvest, trade, and trade, and secondly, they knew that the imperial court was in turmoil and had no time to take care of the place, and the local states and counties were even more flawed and had no time to take care of small places.
There are more and more pedestrians on the official road, some farmers go out of the city with hoes, some vegetable farmers carry their burdens into the city, and there are also merchants who push carts in and out, and so on. Xu is approaching the Double Ninth Day, and even if there is no more war, there are more people from all kinds of trading merchants. The Yellow Turban Squad guarding the gate is Zheng Li Da Crooked, but he is secretly happy in his heart, the geese have plucked their feathers, collected taxes in the past, and those who enter and exit the city gate are all moving money bags. Li Da straightened the yellow scarf on his head and shouted to the dozen or so sergeants under him: "I have carefully checked them, and I must not miss a single one." "Under the leadership of Li Dawei's professionalism, they first seized a few pheasants from a group of hunters; Pull a basket of vegetables from a few vegetable farmer's carts; and found a few Ohnozawa carp weighing dozens of pounds from the fishermen's cart; Even a few wandering Taoist divination and divination people also searched and found a few copper coins from their clothes before they were released.
Suddenly, Li Da saw a group of people and horses escorting a carriage coming. Immediately, the knights were all wearing brocade hats and mink furs, and the guards behind the carriage were also majestic and heroic, and even the mother-in-law who served by the carriage was also five big and three coarse.
"Who?" Li Da shouted crookedly.
A man drove a horse slowly forward, only to see that he was about twenty or thirty years old, dressed as a rich son, dressed in a Confucian shirt, with a scarf on his head, and his face was slightly dark but his face was resolute. He didn't get off the horse, so he immediately hugged his fist to Li Da and said: "This general, a person from Songjiazhuang in Xiaokedong County, has a Chongyang season, and now he is returning to his mother's house with Jing Jing to save his relatives, and he hopes to let him go." Looking back, there was already a heroic guard who had won a few gold and offered it in front of Li Dawei.
Li Da's crooked eyes lit up in an instant, but this guy didn't take it, he continued to shout: "Who is my mother's family? ”
"Chengbei Wang's family, Wang Ji." Childe replied.
"Wang Ji? ......" Li Da Crooked recalled the names in his head. A yellow scarf pawn beside him quietly tugged at the sleeves of the team's shirt, and whispered in his ear: "It's the Wang family in the north of the city, hehe, we just went to rob it last month, and then gave it to the Wang family who clicked." ”
"Oh," Li Da looked greedily at the horses and brocade clothes in the crowd, and thought, "Let you in." Hehe, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out, the horses and clothes, and the ladies in the car are all left with me. ”
He walked to the carriage and reached out to lift the curtain. The stout woman next to her was furious, and slapped Li Da's crooked arm with one palm; The guards around him were also furious, and they all snorted coldly. Li Da smiled crookedly and said, "Chacha, Chacha" He withdrew his arm, turned around, took the gold and silver, and shouted to his subordinates: "Release!" ”
Looking at the slowly departing carriage and horses, Li Da sneered: "The right to let you be angry for a while, and then slaughter each other." Don't let me see the lady, hmph, ...... in a while" He whispered a few words to a pawn, and the pawn left in a hurry.
After the carriage and horse entered the city, they did not drive straight to the north of the city, but rushed towards the county government in the center of the city. At the same time as they were hurrying, the fishermen, vegetable farmers, hunters, and Taoist priests who had entered the city first gathered towards the county government. It turned out that they were the heroes of Liangshan, except for more than 20 people guarding the cottage, the rest all went down the mountain to dress up and sneak into the city in batches. Approaching the county office, Orion pulled out a steel fork, which turned out to be Xie Zhen, Xie Bao, Kong Ming, Kong Liang and others; The fisherman pulled out a steel knife, and it turned out to be the three brothers of Li Junruan's family and others; The vegetable household is Shi Jin, Mu Honglei, Heng Zhang, Qingsun Erniang and others; And the Taoist priest of You Fang is Gongsun Daochang, Zhu Wu, Fan Rui and others. The carriage and horses also stopped, and a woman got out of the carriage, with pink cheeks and apricot eyes, which turned out to be a young and green Sanniang; Seeing that she kicked the carriage, the sedan car was damaged, and the guards got their own weapons, it turned out to be Guan Sheng, Lin Chong, Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, Suochao, Li Kui and others, and the stout mother-in-law was Gu's sister-in-law; The horseback riders were originally Song Jiang, Lu Junyi, Hu Yanzhuo, Qin Minghua, Rong, Lu Fang, Guo Sheng and others.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the yellow turban guards of the county government hurriedly retreated inside, wanting to close the gate. Lu Junyi, Guan Shenglin, Yang Zhihua, and Rong all opened their bows and arrows, and shot over a few yellow turban pawns, how dare the rest close the door, they would have already farted and urinated and fled. The heroes of Liangshan left more than a dozen people to guard the yamen, and the rest rushed in. Li Kui Bao Xu was anxious, rushed ahead, one person picked up the axe and the other picked up the broadsword, saw one chopping over the other, slashing and killing the flesh and blood along the way, the lucky escapee was a nightmare, all the way to the county hall dozens of meters to the county hall, until I found that dozens of yellow turban soldiers had gathered in the hall before stopping.
Dozens of yellow scarf pawns surrounded a man in his thirties and forties, dressed in an ill-fitting soap-colored official uniform, and wearing a yellow scarf and turban, this person was Tao Sheng. Tao Sheng picked up the long knife with both hands and scolded angrily: "Go up with me and kill these thieves." Then he cried out, "Who are you?" Which general? ”
The heroes of Liangshan all rushed to the front of the lobby and gathered around Song Shijiang. Song Shijiang said: "Tao Sheng, surrender." You rebelled, occupied the prefecture and county, and killed innocents. Today I want to avenge the people of Shouzhang, surrender and spare you from death. ”
Tao Sheng has been following the Yellow Turban rebellion for many years, how can it be easy to move. He only scolded, and if the long knife was thrown around, he was about to kill the general. Here the thunderbolt Qin Ming shouted: "Good come!" Riding a horse, he danced his mace, and directly split Huashan together and smashed it down. Tao Sheng hurriedly raised his knife to block, but he could resist it. With a "bang", the knife and head were smashed by Qin Ming, and the red and white splashed all over the ground.
The rest of the Yellow Turban soldiers saw this, some of them were loyal, and raised their weapons to fight with the heroes of Liangshan, but which was the opponent of the heroes, they would be cut down and killed cleanly; Some were cowardly, so frightened that their faces turned pale and trembled, and they dropped their weapons and kowtowed to beg for mercy.
In just a few moments, a battle against the county government was over. Song Shijiang instructed: "The military advisor and Gongsun Daochang took a few brothers to stay behind to clean up the battlefield, and Lu Yuanwai and the rest of the brothers accompanied me to escort the surrendered personnel, and took Tao Sheng's body to the outside of the county yamen." ”
Back at the gate, more than ten heroes such as Mu Hong, Mu Chunjie, Zhenjiebao, Kong Ming, Kong Liang and others who stayed at the gate were fighting with a large number of Yellow Turban soldiers. Although the heroes are brave, there are many Yellow Turban soldiers, and there is a tendency to keep coming behind, and everyone is a little unable to resist and retreats straight to the door. Seeing this, the heroes who turned around shouted one after another and pounced directly. Several horseback generals, such as Lu Junyi, Qin Ming, Dong Ping, Hu Yanzhuohua, Rong, Lu Fang, Guo Sheng and others, relied on the speed of the horse and took the lead in killing, all like tigers entering the flock of sheep and cutting wheat in autumn; Those who have never ridden a horse, such as Guan Sheng, Lin Chong, Suo Chao, Xu Ning, Yang Zhi, Lu Zhishen, Wu Songhu, Sanniang, Li Kui, Bao Xu and others, arrived in the next step, and they were all like hot knives cutting oil, oxen ploughing fields and ridges, and they killed the Yellow Turban sergeant with a broken head, broken feet, broken hands and bodies, crying father, shouting mother, and scattered.
