Yue Fei was also very happy, and hurriedly helped the two of them up, both of them are also excellent talents - especially Gao Pet, even if they are placed on the entire Liangshan, it is enough to enter the top five in terms of combat effectiveness alone.

Then Gao Zhong asked curiously what kind of person Ye Ling was, he was able to convince Yue Fei of the potency of oral administration, in his opinion, Yue Fei was already the first-class person in the world, how could there be someone better than him?

Yue Fei smiled and said: "Senior brother has won the award, Brother Ye Ling is a natural king, how can a person like Yue Fei be compared?" I'm just a general under his command, and you'll know it when you see him in person. ”

Hearing Yue Fei's admiration for Ye Ling so much, Gao Zhong and Niu Gao were secretly surprised, they didn't suspect that Yue Fei was exaggerating the facts, with Yue Fei's strength and arrogance, he didn't bother to do this kind of flattering thing at all, unless the other party really convinced him.

Everyone humbly entered the Lotus Pond Pass, and then Yue Fei asked about the situation in the rest of the place, Niu Gao stood up and patted his chest and said in a rough voice: "Don't worry, marshal, don't dare to say anything else, if you want to say that the radius is a hundred miles, my old cow is still a little famous, and the guards of the surrounding cities have a very good relationship with me, so I will let people inform them and let them all come to Shun Marshal and Liangshan." ”

Yue Fei was overjoyed when he heard this, and his kind words comforted Niu Gao, who was also a resolute person, so he immediately asked his subordinate master to write several letters, and then wrote a name like a ghost drawing at the signing place - it is more appropriate to draw a cow than a signature.

Yue Fei and the others wanted to laugh but were not funny, so they saw that Niu Gao proudly asked his subordinates to send the letters to the guards of more than a dozen surrounding prefectures and counties.

Originally, Yue Fei didn't have much hope for Niu Gao's persuasion, thinking that it would be good if half of the guards succeeded, but the result was greatly beyond his expectations, and almost more than ninety percent of the officers and soldiers in Guanzhen of Fuxian County were surrendered.

It turned out that although Niu Gao was rude, he was very righteous, and he was also very bold, and he had great prestige among the generals in the vicinity.

This is the power of example, after all, the vast majority of the world is a grass on the wall, and whichever direction the wind is strong, it will fall.

What's more, Niu Gao is already a rare fierce general who dares to fight within a radius of 100 miles, and there are well-known heroes who help him, but even they are not the opponents of the Liangshan army, let alone them?

In just ten days or so, Yue Fei received as many as dozens of surrender letters from officers and soldiers, including three prefectures, plus the previous captures, half of Xuzhou had fallen into his hands.

Yue Fei was also very happy, and hurriedly sent an order to let the generals under his command go to surrender and appease the soldiers and civilians in various places, and at the same time sent scouts to inquire about the rest of the places, whether there were any forces that were stubborn and stubborn to resist to the end.

Soon the news came back, and now Xuzhou is still clearly stating that it wants to confront Liangshan, mainly King Kang Zhao Gou and his gang, his base camp is in Xiapi City, and the rest of the places are subject to his orders.

In other words, as long as this Zhao Gou is defeated, Xuzhou will basically be pacified.

After following Ye Ling for a long time, Yue Fei also attached great importance to intelligence work, and he hurriedly gathered his troops to move forward slowly, and at the same time asked Tanma to carefully investigate the detailed information of this King Kang Zhao Gou, especially his main assistant.

Now Liangshan's intelligence network has been established by Ye Ling with a huge amount of money, and it has also been established by Dai Zong, Zhu Gui and other responsible persons with countless efforts, and the energy is extremely powerful, even if there is no shortage of insiders around those high-ranking officials and nobles, so in less than two days, the detailed information on Zhao Gou's side has been placed in front of Yue Fei.

Zhao Gou, the ninth son of the current emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, was worshiped as the captain of the founding school because of his intelligent nature, well-read and strong memory, and liked military affairs.

Then he performed well in office, promoted a lot of capable officials - especially the military generals, and then led these soldiers to drive out nearly 100 rivers and lakes in Xuzhou, large and small, Huizong was overjoyed, praised this is his own unicorn, and specially named him King Kang, and also took the important town of Xuzhou Xiapi as his fief to control the officials here.

Therefore, this Xuzhou is different from the rest of the place, and the biggest official here is not the state pastor, but the young His Royal Highness King Kang.

This King Kang is very different from his father Huizong's style, and he attaches great importance to military generals, especially Liu Guangshi and Zhang Jun, who were promoted from the lower-level officers, are even more outstanding, they are his right-hand man, and in terms of civil officials, there is his internal history Qin Hui.

And Zhao Gou, with the assistance of these three people, governed Xiapi and the surrounding three prefectures and forty-five counties like an iron bucket, and the state Mu Wanmo could only pinch his nose and pretend not to see, he was a prince and nobleman, and he had the ability, what could he do?

However, he said that Yue Fei's side was still in the process of dispatching troops, and the first battle had already taken place between the two sides over there.

It turned out that Qin Ming heard that Yue Fei's side had frequent good news, but he didn't have any achievements on his side, so he couldn't sit still, he was eager to make meritorious contributions, and without waiting for Yue Fei's order, he led the people of his headquarters to attack Baisha Pass next to Xiapi Mansion first, wanting to give the officers and soldiers a dismount, and he was so majestic.

This Baisha Pass is an auxiliary pass of Xiapi, and Xiapi is a corner of each other, Zhao Gou naturally attaches great importance to it, and it is Liu Guangshi, one of his right-hand men, who guards here.

This Liu Guangshi's strategy for using troops can be summed up in one word - run.

He is very good at guerrilla warfare, and then attacks everywhere, confusing the opponent, and then when the opponent's willpower and physical endurance are almost exhausted, he will surprise the onslaught and take down the opponent, known as "Liu Ran Run".

So he learned that Qin Ming's soldiers and horses were coming, so he led the team out of the customs in advance to meet the battle, Qin Ming and they were still more than 20 miles away, and they met a sentry sent by Liu Guangshi.

Qin Ming originally came to make meritorious contributions, and he was naturally overjoyed when he saw the officers and soldiers coming out, and immediately let the deputy general, who was also his apprentice Huang Xin of Zhensanshan, fight, and successfully defeated the opponent.

As soon as the officers and soldiers ran, Huang Xin immediately chased after them, never thinking that they would encounter several ambushes in the middle, but the scale was not large, and Huang Xin and Qin Ming easily drove them away.

However, just when they were complacent, thinking that the officers and soldiers were not enough, and were about to take Baisha Pass in one fell swoop, Liu Guangshi arrived from behind with an elite army, and launched a fierce attack while Qin Ming and them were resting.
