Chapter 117: Jiangzhou Mansion Dispatches Troops
The news of the destruction of the Wuwei Army soon spread to the Jiangzhou Mansion, and the rest of the people were gone, and Huang Wenbing was stunned.
That's right, this guy is indeed a shameless, despicable, insidious, indifferent, selfish, and all kinds of shortcomings in one villain, and the death of a few entourage slaves and even ordinary family members is nothing to him, but this time after all, he was destroyed by Liang Shan, and his wife and children are gone, so even this cold-blooded guy is a big hit.
He cried bitterly to Cai Jiu: "Enxiang, this gang of thieves is really too lawless, and I hope that Enxiang will send an army to avenge the next official." β
Cai Jiu also felt quite guilty, in fact, Huang Wenbing's provocation of Liangshan this time was also caused by his loyalty to him, so he was furious and directly summoned several regimental training envoys in the mansion and asked them to prepare to send troops to crusade against the Liangshan bandits.
Those senior officers were also furious when they heard this, after all, Liang Shan was far away in Qingzhou, and not many people here had heard of the achievements of Jeju Mansion and Dengzhou Mansion before, and seeing that Liang Shan first dared to display troops under their city tower, and then directly defeated the Wuwei Army, this was simply Chi Guoguo's slap in the face.
Among these officers, there are two people, one is Han De, the commander of the soldiers and horses, and the other is Qin Yang, the commander of the capital, Qin Yang slapped the table and shouted: "How dare these thieves be so rampant, don't worry, I will take the troops out to kill them all immediately, hum, and want us to release Song Jiang and Dai Zong, let's dream." β
Han De sneered even more: "What General Qin said is extremely true, but I think we can do it more thoroughly, why not behead the two thieves Song Jiang and Dai Zong immediately, and then send the heads to the Liangshan thieves' tent, wouldn't it be more demoralizing to the enemy and increase our prestige?" β
The rest of the generals were all overjoyed when they heard this, and they all praised and seconded it, Huang Wenbing gritted his teeth and agreed, in fact, Ye Ling, who was far away outside the city at this time, did not know, if he knew, he would definitely raise his hands in favor.
But this scene didn't happen after all, Cai Jiu may be very greedy and not shrewd, but after all, he is also the son of Taishi Cai Jing, and he has somewhat learned some of his father's cautious style.
You must know that Cai Jing has also been in power under the rule of three generations of emperors, and has experienced many waves in his nearly forty-year career in the sea, which is by no means simply described with a sentence of "good luck" or "will pat on the back", can always be in this "one person under ten thousand people" high position and sit firmly on the fishing boat for a long time, Cai Jing actually has two major advantages, and they have been exerted to the extreme.
This first advantage is to be good at figuring out the intentions, this is by no means just flattery, but to really do what he likes, such as today's Huizong is the first contemporary artist, poetry and song are all refined, especially calligraphy and painting How bad he is when he is the emperor, then how good his artistic attainments are, to some extent, God is also fair, he takes you somewhere, he will definitely compensate you in another place, but it is a little embarrassing for Song Huizong Zhao Ji.
But Cai Jing has done a good job in this regard, especially his good calligraphy ranks among the four masters in the world, and even above Song Huizong, which can be said to be genuine, so Song Huizong of course attaches great importance to him, even if it is Gao Yu, who was his absolute cronies when he was a prince, he is far inferior.
And Cai Jing's second advantage is that he is very cautious and will never invest in desperation, which is a shrewd summary in later generations Don't put all your eggs in one basket, so in the previous repeated factional battles, Cai Jing will not completely stand on one side even if he is sure, and will leave a foreshadowing on the other side, this extremely cautious approach has saved him at least twice.
And Cai Jiu was also more or less influenced by his father, of course he thought that Liangshan Bandit Kou would not be the opponent of his officers and soldiers, and Han De and Qin Yang were both generals with very rich martial arts and experience, and they would definitely beat each other to the ground.
But what if, in case the officers and soldiers are defeated, and they behead Song Jiang and Dai Zong and demonstrate, then there will be no room for maneuver between the two sides, and there will be only one result in Jiangzhou at that time, the city is broken, the chickens and dogs are not left, and there is no possibility of living for him.
Thinking of this scene, Cai Jiu's heart couldn't help but tremble secretly, he must not allow this to happen, so he quietly refused Han De's request, just let them repel the Liangshan thieves first and then pay attention to it.
Of course, his excuses are also high-sounding, first, the day of this execution has already been said before tomorrow noon, and the change at this time will inevitably make people laugh; Second, if these two armies do not fight each other, how can our court not understand this truth?
Seeing that Lord Taishou had already made a decision, Han De, Qin Yang and the others naturally did not dare to disobey, so they took their leave immediately, ordered more than ten officers and 3,000 men and horses, and rushed out of the city gate on the spot.
Liang Shan was naturally prepared, they were originally more than ten miles away from the city tower, leaving enough buffer space, and at the moment they were also in good formation under Ye Ling's order, and both sides stood firmly after shooting at each other, leaving a large open space in the middle, ready to fight.
Han De and Qin Yang walked out arrogantly surrounded by a group of Jiangzhou Mansions, and this Ye Ling was naturally protected by more than a dozen leaders of Liangshan, and both sides were looking at each other while accumulating momentum.
Han De broke the deadlock in advance, pointed at Ye Ling and said arrogantly: "You are Ye Ling, the leader of the Liangshan thieves?" You are really bold, you dare to go all the way to attack us here, it is completely stupid, I am Han De, the head of the soldiers and horses of Jiangzhou Mansion, I will give you a chance to have the virtue of a good life in heaven, and now leave quickly, otherwise you will all be ghosted. β

In fact, Han De originally planned to say more ruthlessly, but after coming out, he saw that the people on Liangshan's side were much stronger than he imagined in terms of equipment and numbers, and if he really fought against his own side, even if he won, he would have to pay a lot of price, so he temporarily changed his words, hoping that this group of thieves could take the initiative to retreat.
Ye Ling only smiled faintly when he heard this: "General Han, you think too much, I am only here to save our lost brother, but I don't want to have any conflict with your Jiangzhou Mansion, I also think that God has the virtue of a good life, give you a chance, as long as we let go of our two brothers, we will leave here immediately, this is also the last chance, otherwise you may have to regret it." β
