Liangshan Lecture Martial Arts Hall opened vigorously, and it received an excellent response, and the whole manor was immersed in joy, and at this time, Yanqing in Tokyo came back.

After Yan Qing went to Liangshan from the Daimyo's Mansion that day, Gu Haotian sent him to Tokyo City because he felt that he was a genius who did intelligence, and also wanted him to familiarize himself with the situation in the capital, and it was appropriate to replace Zhu Gui back at this time, after all, Zhu Gui's identity was a little embarrassing over there. This time, it was because there was important information that Yan Qing rushed back in person.

In the Zhonghua Hall, Gu Haotian took the information sent by Yan Qing and read it carefully, and found that the content in it was no different from what he remembered. Gao Yu personally led an army of 130,000 to attack Liangshan, and there were ten major festival envoys who went to war with the army, namely Wang Huan of Henan and Hebei Jiedu, Xu Jing of Shangdang Taiyuan Jiedu, Wang Wende of Jingbei Hongnongjiedu, Mei Zhan of Yingzhou Runanjiedu, Zhang Kai of Zhongshan Anping Jiedu, Yang Wen of Jiangxia Lingling Jiedu, Han Cunbao of Yunzhong Anmen Jiedu, Li Congji of Hanyang Jiedu of Longxi, Xiang Yuanzhen of Langya Pengcheng Jiedu, and Jingzhong of Qinghe Tianshui Jiedu; The front of the tent will be in charge of the official Dang Shiying and Dang Shixiong; Liu Menglong, the commander of the naval army of Jiankang Mansion in Jinling. Among them, there were 10,000 infantry cavalry, 15,000 elite soldiers of the forbidden army, 15,000 sailors, and 500 array ships. In addition, Captain Niu Bangxi went to the river along the river to detain the boats and send them to Jeju for use. According to the news, these more than ten armies will gather in Jeju in early October to conquer Yangsan Manor.

Gao Yu crusaded against Liangshan, and the news was obtained in the manor in mid-September, and it was precisely for this reason that the martial arts hall was opened ahead of schedule, and now this evil wolf who had been waiting for more than half a month was finally dispatched.

The elites of Liangshan Manor once again gathered in the conference room of Zhonghua Hall, Gao Yu led the troops to attack, everyone was already clear in advance, after reading the detailed news this time, everyone pondered for a moment, and then expressed their opinions.

"Gao Yu will definitely learn the lesson of Tong Guan's defeat when they come this time, and after they gather in Jeju with heavy troops, they are likely to separate up to defend the key points along the lake, so as to cut off the communication between Liangshan and the outside, and then rely on the Jinling sailors to attack us. This attack is different from the previous ones, one has fifteen thousand sailors, five hundred warships, and there are many more behind, the strength of the navy alone is twice the strength of the existing navy in our manor. The second is the ten knots who accompanied the army, most of whom I know are in real skills, not like wine bags and rice bags that I live in. The three imperial courts have been defeated several times, and we should have a deeper understanding of the strength of our manor, and we will no longer have the heart to underestimate the enemy. If the 130,000 troops are allowed to confront us around Shuibo, it will be very disadvantageous to our manor, and I still have to try to divide and annihilate them,"

Xu Guanzhong was the chief of staff, and he was always the first to speak on the operational front. However, his idea is very insightful, because Gao Yu came up with the idea of "first intercepting the grain and grass on the four sides, strengthening the fence, luring the thief down the mountain, and then marching into the army" when Tong Guan went out on the expedition, if he successfully implemented this plan, then with the strength of the imperial court, after a long-term confrontation, Liangshan as an island will be very passive.

"Director Xu's idea is indeed reasonable, the guards who remain in the manor now, including those in Lijiadaokou and Crouching Tiger Village, are only more than 70,000 people, and the total number is only half of the officers and soldiers, and there are a large number of recruits who have not been in actual combat, we can't let them fight steadily, we must take them by surprise and consume their strength as much as possible."

Zhu Wu has now entered the role, and he is no longer in a hurry to express his opinions.

"Petty official, in that information, but it says that the Ten Roads Festival made each of them lead their troops to Jeju to rendezvous?"

After Wu Yong listened to the two of them, he suddenly asked about Gu Haotian.

"Director Wu means ......"

"Hey, hey! If they come separately, why should we wait for him on the mountain, can't we go out to meet him? These ten knots have Henan's

, Hebei, Jiangxia, Hedong, Pengcheng, and so on more than ten places, their way will be different, we just need to go out of the periphery of Jingdong, choose some suitable places to intercept separately, and they will be able to annihilate each of them. ”

"This matter is also feasible, but with our current strength, it is impossible to intercept all the officers and men of more than 10 routes, and I intend to choose four or five routes; if the attack is successful, nearly half of the officers and men will go, and then they will have no advantage in terms of troops, and they will be able to deal with it calmly."

When Gu Haotian heard this, Wu Yong, who suddenly felt that this idea was good, immediately spoke in favor.

After some discussion, they selected four directions to the army, namely Wang Wende, the envoy of the Hongnong Festival in Jingbei, Yang Wen, the envoy of the Lingling Festival in Jiangxia, Xiang Yuanzhen the envoy of the Pengcheng Festival in Langya, and Jing Zhong in the Qinghe Tianshui Festival.

But at this moment, Wen Huanzhang, who had never spoken, spoke:

"Shangdang Taiyuan Festival envoy Xu Jing, when he was down-and-out in Zezhou, I also helped him, it is better for me to see him, or there is a harvest."

Gu Haotian said that he suddenly remembered that he had seen such a plot there in later generations, saying that Xu Jing had a friendship with Wen Huanzhang when he was young, and when Gao Yu invaded Liangshan in the original "Water Margin", it was he who recommended Wen Huanzhang to him. After thinking about it for a moment, he came up with an idea, and said:

"Mr. Wen has an old relationship with that Xu Jing, but I have an idea, that Xu Jing is the Taiyuan Shangdang Festival Envoy, if he goes to Jeju must pass through Hebei, he should go all the way with the Qinghe Tianshui Festival to make Jing Zhong go all the way, they are close and far away, if possible, they can start separately, Mr. has been in the manor in recent years, presumably it is also a skill itch, this time the north side of the road will be up to you."

Wen Huanzhang has always been a housekeeper since he went to Liangshan, and when he heard Gu Haotian say it this time, he couldn't help but feel a little itchy, and he responded happily at that time.

So Gu Haotian immediately made a decision on the spot to determine the four ways to intercept the soldiers and horses, the north road was composed of a regiment of infantry and three regiments of cavalry, with the generals leading the troops, Yang Zhi as the deputy, Wen Huanzhang as the military division, intercepting the Qinghe Tianshui Jiedu to make Jing Zhong and the Taiyuan Jiedu to make Shangdang Xu Jing. Xiyi Road was composed of the second infantry regiment and the second cavalry regiment, with the general Sun An, Pang Wanchun as the deputy, and Xu Guanzhong as the military division, intercepting Wang Wende, the envoy of the Hongnong Festival in northern Beijing. The southwest route was composed of four infantry regiments and six cavalry regiments, with the general Hu Yanzhuo, Wu Song as the deputy, and Zhu Wu as the military division, intercepting Yang Wen, the envoy of the Lingling Festival in Jiangxia. The southern route is composed of five infantry regiments and seven cavalry regiments, leading the general Guan Sheng, Deng Yuanjue as the deputy, and Wu Yong as the military division, intercepting Langya Pengcheng Jiedu envoy Xiang Yuanzhen.

The soldiers and horses were established, and Gu Haotian immediately sent people to reconnoiter the enemy's situation with intelligence. After Gongsun Sheng discussed with Shi Qian, Ma Ling, Yan Qing, Bai Sheng, and Shi Qian each led a team to the four directions from north to south.

Since the incoming enemy was already on the way, after the meeting was decided, the General Staff Office immediately ordered the mobilization of a large army, and suddenly the regiments in the manor heard the news.

Pang Wanchun was overjoyed when he received the order, he had rarely had the opportunity to go out to fight in the bow battalion before, this time the first regiment commander was immediately ordered to go out to fight, he immediately recruited the deputy regiment commander Wang Yan and the two battalion commanders Shan Tinggui and Ji Ji, and said to the same people:

"Let's ride the second regiment, the cavalry of the seventh regiment has the least seniority, I was born in the archers, and the head of Wang Yan is also a newcomer, this time I will fight with the second regiment of the head of Sun An, we must not make a mistake, otherwise we will not be able to raise our heads in front of the brothers in the future, everyone will return to the camp and deploy well, and we will set off overnight tonight."

The three of them were also cautious when they saw it, and the four of them discussed it carefully before they went separately.

And the other person was even more excited than Pang Wanchun, this person was Chao Gai, as soon as he joined Liangshan, he was appointed as the deputy head of the regiment without an inch of success, and the meaning of care here was very strong, so he was most afraid of others gossiping about him. Hence one

After receiving the order, he saw that the military advisor was his old brother Wu Yong, and immediately came to the door.

"Brother Hugh has to worry, our nine thousand elites will definitely win against that Shilangya Pengcheng Festival, you just need to take care of the soldiers in the camp, and then there will be a chance for you to make meritorious contributions."

Wu Yong was very calm, this plan was proposed by him, and he would not let himself lose to the other three-way soldiers and horses, so he already had a careful calculation in his heart, and at this time, seeing that Chao Gai had no bottom in his heart, he gave him a reassurance.

Chao Gai felt a lot more relieved when he saw it, but said: "The brothers below didn't say much, but I was inevitably worried about fighting for the manor at the beginning, and when the time comes, I will give more instructions to avoid other people's jokes." ”

"Brother can go back with peace of mind, he will go on the expedition tonight, and arrange his head properly, the head of Deng Yuanjue is also a veteran in the manor, and he will tell you about something."

Chao Gai was comforted by Wu Yong and immediately settled down a lot, and when he returned to the regiment, he happened to see Liu Tang coming to him, but it was Zheng Yuanjue who summoned them to discuss the dispatch of troops, and secretly said that he was a little impetuous, so they hurried over together.

In the evening of the same day, the four armies set off separately in the night. Gu Haotian said goodbye to everyone, and when he turned back to Zhonghua Hall and wanted to go back to the back mountain to rest, he saw Shi Wengong coming over, and couldn't help but be a little strange, so he asked:

"It's too late, is there something wrong with my senior brother?"

"Everyone went out to intercept and kill the officers and soldiers, but my special battalion had nothing to do, and I was panicked, otherwise I would arrange an errand to do."

"This operation is all a confrontation between large armies, and the special battalion is not strong, so it is better to save some effort and use it later."

"It's not that there are more than 500,000 sailors from Jiankang's boats, the brother of my special battalion is not a good hand in the water, the senior brother only needs to transfer a battalion of sailors to assist, and it will have a miraculous effect if I go to harass along the way."

Gu Haotian didn't expect Shi Wengong to make such a suggestion, and when he thought about it, he felt that it was very reasonable, and then he called Ruan Xiaoqi, and the three of them sat in the Zhonghua Hall again.

Shi Wengong was excited to see that Gu Haotian accepted his suggestion, and when he heard that he was going to attack and intercept the officers and soldiers, he thought that the special battalion might not be able to seize the task this time, so he immediately started the idea of Jiankang sailors, and immediately told the plans that had been prepared one by one:

"When the Jiankang Navy goes north, it must take the canal, Sizhou, and Huangou River, there are many rivers and lakes here that are good places for us to ambush, as long as we bite him all the way, and constantly harass and sneak attack them, even if we can't destroy them, but when they enter Jeju, they will have to shed their skin if they don't die."

"Battalion Commander Shi is really a good idea, if we disguise ourselves as ordinary ships, follow them, and bite him from time to time, this guy will be extremely uncomfortable."

Ruan Xiaoqi was also very happy when he heard that such a good thing had come to him, so he almost raised his hands in approval.

Gu Haotian had completely agreed with Shi Wengong's idea of combat when he put forward it, and then after listening to the discussion between the two, a new idea was born in his heart. He thought that Ling Zhen and Wei Dingguo's firearms battalion had been practicing for some time, and the fire attack was a deadly weapon for the fleet, so he took this opportunity to try his edge. So he said:

"As the third senior brother said, tomorrow morning your two battalions will set off, this time to block the enemy, you are the fifth road army of the manor, the third senior brother is the leading general, the little seven brothers are the deputy, and the Wei Dingguo battalion commander will bring a hundred firearms battalion to cooperate, all matters on the way will be handled by the three of you yourself, but there is one thing that must not be disobeyed, that is, you can't do reckless things for the sake of greed, otherwise not only will the military law not tolerate it, but also the next time you will no longer give the opportunity to lead the troops to fight."

Shi Wengong and Ruan Xiaoqi responded in unison, and they didn't care about the darkness at the moment, and hurriedly went to Wei Dingguo to discuss with great interest.
