"What do you mean by that?" Master Li asked puzzled.

Yan Qing looked at Master Li's suspicious eyes, couldn't help but dodge, and changed the topic and said, "I have always wondered before, there are so many literati on Liangshan, why are the adults of the court in a hurry to attack, it turns out that everything is to sit and prepare now."

Please think about it, those literati are imprisoned in Liangshan, if Liangshan is defeated and surrenders and the official army is not accepted, these literati will become the funeral objects of Liangshan, and this crime will be counted on the head of General Huyan and my Xiaolangjun, General Huyan is behind the generals, Pan, Shi, and Cao will protect him no matter what, and the civil officials don't want to provoke those generals, so who will the firepower focus on? Xiao Langjun, who was already disliked by the literati, must be in trouble again.

But this is still good, I am more worried that those civilian officials will secretly pull the army back and make the army defeated, and when the time comes, Xiao Langjun will be responsible for the defeat of the army, and with the hatred of civilian officials, it will be difficult to survive in this life! If you can't say it, it's a situation of distribution. Even those civil officials will blame Xiao Langjun for all the crimes, and ask for Xiao Langjun's net worth..."

Master Li said in disbelief: "I'm afraid it won't be... That's an army of tens of thousands, aren't they afraid of leaks? ”

Yan Qing snorted and said, "If they really want to do it, where will there be clues, even if there is, who will check it?" Think about it, if you really want to win Liangshan, how can you only send two more regiments to train envoys, I have also inquired, and the two of them together are only two or three thousand men and horses, what is the effect? ”

Master Li believed it at this time, she pulled the silk scarf and said, "I'm afraid this matter is difficult to convince the official family, in the hearts of the official family, this is a way to pardon your family's big officials, if we dissuade you, it will definitely give Xiao Langjun a reputation for being unkind and unjust, and according to you, this matter is the work of the two Zheng Juzhong, if you want to deal with these two people, I am afraid that the master will have to come out." ”

Yan Qing sighed, knowing that this was a conspiracy, she could only send someone to send a quick horse to summon Liang Shan.

- Liang Shan

Jiang De's eyes widened and he looked at the urgent letter in his hand, Xu Guanzhong next to him had already read it in advance, his face was full of bitterness, while Zhu Wu and the others were curious, not knowing what news made Jiang De look like this.

"Who's got this good idea? Let me hit Liangshan? Jiang De's first reaction was whether there was anyone in the court who knew about his relationship with Liang Shan, but he didn't feel like it, otherwise he shouldn't have let himself fight Liang Shan at all, but a large army would have killed Nei Huang directly.

"Let the village master fight Liangshan?" Everyone in the hall stared at each other, Jiang De handed them the urgent report, and after everyone read it, Xu Guanzhong said first, "My lord, the first thing now is that Shamen Island, once the people in the official palace find out that there is no Lu Daguan on Shamen Island, then everything will be in trouble." ”

Jiang De's eyes narrowed and said, "Have they seen my senior brother?" Yan Qing only took two days to spread the news to us, our people set off today, as long as three to four days to reach Shamen Island, and the people of the imperial court are at least five days slower than us, there is a time difference of these days, with the help of Sun Li and others, just send someone similar to my senior brother to pretend. ”

"If you want to disguise, then this person must also have a mastery of skills..."Zhu Wu's eyes rolled and said, "Does the owner of the village mean to go to Song Jun as Jiang De?" ”

The corners of Jiang De's mouth crooked and said, "I don't know who it is, I'm going to send me tens of thousands of troops, shouldn't I go?" ”

"But if the lord loses to Liangshan in an official capacity, it will also be a big crime..."Xu Guanzhong said disapprovingly, "Anyway, the official identity of the lord is to travel all over the world, as long as he doesn't show up, the official family will not treat the lord as well, in the opinion of students, it is better for the lord not to show up for the time being." ”

Gongsun Sheng and others also agreed in unison, thinking that this was a good idea.

Jiang De didn't want to hide, firstly, it was obvious that someone was coming at him, hiding was not his style, and secondly, he was really a greedy army, the growth of Liangshan's soldiers and horses had reached the limit, if there was no catastrophe, it would be difficult to have a quantitative growth.

Jiang De looked at the worried people, took a long breath and said, "You are all my Jiang De's henchmen, to be honest, whether it is Liang Shan or me, in fact, the most important thing to do at this time is to keep Taoguang and raise obscurity.... It's a pity that by mistake, it has attracted the attention of the people of the world, but this gaze can no longer be had, and we must find a way to make the eyes of the people of the world move away from us. ”

Saying that, Jiang De walked down slowly and said, "Yan Qing's letter also said one thing, the Taishi was alienated by the official family, and now Dazai and Shaozai are Zheng Juzhong and Liu Zhengfu respectively, and let me fight Liangshan is the idea of these two people, it can be said that as long as these two people are in the court, it is difficult for Jiang Zijun or Jiang Xinzhi to be peaceful, so I have to come out this time." ”

Xu Guanzhong also understood, this matter does not mean that Jiang De will be over if he does not come out, Jiang De is hiding today, is it hiding tomorrow, he has to face it, since this is the case, it is better to break it.

Xu Guanzhong's mind turned, and he immediately said, "Since this is the case, the lord must be defeated and not defeated." ”

"Tell me." Jiang De asked with some interest.

"The Song army can be defeated, but the lord cannot be defeated!" Xu Guanzhong said in worship.

Jiang De clapped his hands and said, "Not only will you lose, but you will lose cleanly!" Okay, let's talk about the matter of Salmon Island first, can Salmon Island be done in ten days? ”

Xu Guanzhong nodded and said, "With Sun Li and others here, it is not difficult." ”

"It's hard to find a stand-in for martial arts, so let my senior brother drag it out on the grounds that he is seriously ill..."Jiang De said, "Salmon Island is a dangerous place known to everyone in the world, and it will not arouse suspicion if people there are seriously ill, how long will it take for the imperial court's reinforcements to arrive?" ”

Zhu Wu estimated it and said, "It's only half a month's journey from Texas to here, calculate the time, and you will arrive within a month." ”

As the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to break the muscles and bones, and the Liangshan army and Hu Yanzhuo have a big battle, and the wounded soldiers on both sides are recuperating, even if there is a disinfection weapon like alcohol on the Liangshan side, it is impossible to quickly recover the combat strength.

"Owner, I have a plan, maybe I can give it a try." Gongsun Sheng suddenly stroked his beard and smiled.

"Mr. Gongsun, let's talk about it."

"Then the court is actually the best at destroying us bandits.... If the owner of the village wrote to the court saying that he could recruit An, I believe that those people in the court would definitely panic. Gongsun Sheng said with a wink.

"Zhao'an?? ... Good plan! Jiang De clapped his hands and smiled.

As the saying goes, if you want to get an official, kill people and set fires, etc., the officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty were weak, and for a large number of bandits, they prefer to use Zhao'an to solve it, but will those ministers in the court be willing to see Jiang De Zhao'an Liangshan? It must not be willing, there is too much to make a fuss about.

- Kaifeng

Zhao Ji looked at Zheng Juzhong and the two below, who were constantly exchanging glances, and yawned and said, "I said Aiqing, isn't this a good thing?" Since this matter was provoked by Jiang Zijun, let him be responsible for Zhao'an to solve it, I said that you too, always fighting, not elegant at all..."

The two smiled bitterly, does this have anything to do with Wen Ya?

Zhao Ji got up impatiently and said, "Okay, this matter is decided." ”

After the two sent Zhao Ji away, they also walked outside the palace, and on the way, Liu Zhengfu asked Zheng Juzhong, "Zheng Gong, do you really want to recruit An?" ”

"What kind of recruit? Do you want to give credit to that kid? Zheng Juzhong said angrily.

"Actually, Zhao'an may not be successful..."Liu Zhengfu said with some hesitation, "And if Zhao'an fails, it is also a crime." ”

Zheng Juzhong turned around, looked at him and said, "Lord Liu, how big can the blame for the failure of this Zhao'an be?" But in this way, no matter how the two armies win or lose, it has nothing to do with him, and you also know that the officials are partial to him, so how can we explain to the people of the world? ”

As he spoke, Zheng Juzhong suddenly laughed, "Actually, where is this trick so good?" The thieves are the most untrustworthy, and I think this may be an opportunity... By the way, according to the practice of our dynasty, there should be internal officials in the army to supervise the army. ”

The eunuch supervising the army, the Han and Tang dynasties were the most famous, but in the Song Dynasty, there were also a lot, and Tong Guan at this time was one of the best.

Liu Zhengfu understood what Zheng Juzhong meant, nodded and said, "That's not a way. ”

- Half a month later

Hu Yanzhuo looked at the two people below with a suspicious expression, one of these two was a smiling internal officer of the prison army, and the other was a young jinshi with a more kind smile.

These two know each other?

"It turned out to be Qian Neiguan, I had heard that Qian Neiguan was a celebrity in front of Empress Zheng as early as Kaifeng, but I didn't expect that he was willing to come down and suffer, he was really loyal." Jiang De sighed with admiration.

"Where is it, I am so crippled, it is an honor to be able to serve the official family, but Lord Jiang, who is young and talented, actually understands military affairs, which is admirable!" Qian Yan also had a look of admiration, the two arched their hands to each other, Hu Yantong next to him touched his head, and asked in a low voice, "They are very familiar?" ”

Jiang De looked at Hu Yanzhuo and said, "General Hu Yan, the people I sent to Liangshan have returned, and the leaders on Liangshan are also very interested in Zhao'an. ”

Hu Yanzhuo stroked his beard and nodded, "Okay, wow, then when will they go down the mountain and return to the imperial court?" ”

"What do those thieves have to say, if you want our family to say, it is better to destroy them in one battle!" Qian Sheng coughed and said, "Could it be that there are tens of thousands of troops here, and there is no way to take this little Liangshan?" ”

"Humph! If it weren't for this water, my cavalry would rush over, and how many people would be a dead word! Hu Yantong immediately shouted.

Hu Yanzhuo said, "This Liangshan is indeed a dangerous terrain, easy to defend and difficult to attack, there are a lot of strongmen on the mountain, and there are a lot of chaotic people nearby, if you want to fight and draw, it is difficult." ”

"That's why the official family sent Lin Jiaotou and Wei and Dan, the three of them said yes?" Qian Sheng looked at the three people on the side.

These three people have a leopard head and a swallow head, wearing silver armor, a beard and a strong body, wearing red armor, and a long wolf waist and black armor, which are the three people who came to help, Lin Chong, Wei Dingguo, and Shan Tingjue.

Among the three, Lin Chong and Jiang De are senior brothers, so they naturally stand on Jiang De's side, and the others didn't think about what else he would say, and they all looked at Wei and Dan.

These two people are from Tokyo, and they are officials in Texas together, and they have a bad relationship, and they also have a tacit understanding. ”

There is no offense on both sides of this statement.

Jiang De smiled and said, "It's better not to use the sword soldiers or not to use the sword soldiers, I will go up the mountain in a few days, if I can say the best, I can't and won't damage the strength of my army." ”

Hu Yanzhuo felt justified when he heard it, nodded in response, Qian Neiguan's eyes rolled, and if he had other plans, he would no longer stop him.

- Liang Shan

In a corner of Liangshan, a group of literati in robes are lining up to hold their own box lunches.

After being plundered to Liangshan for several months, these literati thought that they would be rescued soon, but they did not expect to stay until now.

"Eat quickly, it won't taste good when it's cold." It was a dark-skinned man who served these literati, and his calloused hands looked like he was born in bitterness.

"Hey... What's the difference between eating and not eating when you're behind bars? A literati with white hair and beard stood aside with his hands behind his back and sighed, but the other hand was honestly holding the lunch box, watching the man pack the rice and not forgetting to say, "Don't shake your hands, I see that piece of meat." ”

"Professor Liu doesn't want to be like this, although it's just coarse tea and light rice, but you also need to use some." A young man next to him walked over and comforted him, "We don't know how long we will have to be here before we can get out." ”

"It is said that the imperial court has sent a large army to encircle and suppress, and the fighting is in full swing below, but if you want me to say, even if the official army wins, I am afraid that these thieves will not let me wait, this meal, there is one meal less than one meal." A somewhat pessimistic gentleman shook his head and sighed, "I knew that today, I shouldn't have gone to Tianxiang Academy that day, you said that the academy didn't hinder us in anything, what to make a fuss?" If you don't go, you won't encounter these bandits. ”

"Nonsense! That Tianxiang Academy didn't teach my Confucianism, that is, the evil sect crooked! As a disciple of a saint, I should naturally stand up, and it is not a pity to defend the way and die! Professor Liu said with a serious face, and after speaking, he picked up the chopsticks and put a piece of meat into his mouth, he hadn't tasted this meat for a long time.

"Hey, I said that today's food is better than in the past, are these bandits afraid that they can't defeat the official army and want to surrender? Old Yantou, are you ready to descend? A bold gentleman asked the swarthy man, after such a long time, everyone was familiar with each other, and they knew that this man who was a man of mud legs was just a mud-legged man, and he came to this thief's den to help cook so that he could make some money, and he was not a real thief.

Lao Yantou wiped the sweat on his head with his sleeve, and said with a humble expression, "We don't know what the leaders think, but when I was cooking some time ago, it was said that there was an official and military person who came to the mountain, and when I went to deliver the meal, I also saw the leader talking and laughing with him." ”

Saying that, Lao Yantou said with a puzzled face, "I just don't know what's going on, the day after that person went to the mountain, he started to fight down the mountain, and it is said that many people died." ”
