Two of the most well-known regimental training envoys in Lingzhou City, Shan Tinggui and Wei Dingguo, were imprisoned by Zhang Taishou, and it is said that they were accused of fornicating with Liangshan thieves. And according to insiders, these two people will be sent to Beijing on the same day and convicted by the imperial court.

This news spread rapidly in Lingzhou City, but the difference was that in the rumors in the market, it was said that Zhang Taishou had wronged the two generals in order to cover up his dirty dealings with the Jurchens.

The most heated discussion is the military camp in Lingzhou, among which the fire camp under Wei Dingguo and the water camp under Shan Tinggui are the most. These people are all cronies of the two, and they all know the battle in Zengtou City, so they naturally understand that their own general is innocent, so the most important thing to make a fuss.

The most frightened are Wei Dingguo and Shan Tinggui's family, the two have been fighting for several days, and there are constantly various news coming, I am worried enough, I was relieved to be able to return safely yesterday, who knew that it was only one day, but I entered the prison of my own state government, and immediately let the hearts of the two families fall into the abyss.

However, the matter did not stop there, Zhang Taishou immediately disbanded the fire camp and the water camp in the afternoon of the same day, and all the soldiers were dispersed to the battalions. At the same time, Wei and Shan were also controlled by the state government, and the entry and exit of personnel were restricted.

Let's say that in Zengtou City, Gu Haotian and others have used all the manpower, material resources, and animal power in the village in the past two days to rush to Jishui to transport materials, but on the other hand, they have always paid attention to the movements of Lingzhou City. At noon on this day, Shi Wengong was the east and invited Gu Haotian, Lin Chong, Zhou Yunqing, Luan Tingyu, and Wu Song, and the six brothers to have a small gathering in a tavern in the village.

"For more than ten years, it has been rare for our senior brothers to get together so much, and if Senior Brother and Senior Brother Sun Li are also here, it will be even more complete."

After three rounds of drinking, Lin Chong said with emotion.

"Senior brother, don't worry, it won't take long, I believe that our senior brothers will be able to reunite." Gu Haotian said confidently.

"I believe in Senior Brother Gu, none of us gathered because of him, Senior Brother Lu and Senior Brother Sun will definitely get together."

Zhou Yunqing looked at the senior brothers who were originally from Tiannan and Haibei, but now they were recruited to Liangshan by Gu Haotian one by one, and he was already convinced of him.

"Hey, hey! That's applauding, when the time comes, our brothers will help Haotian to bring down this country, and at that time, our division will be the best in the world, absolutely unique. ”

Shi Wengong shouted excitedly through the wine, and the rest of the people also responded, and the room was noisy for a while.

Gu Haotian didn't know what to say, and when he was shaking his head and smiling bitterly, he saw Bian Xiang coming over, saying that Gongsun Sheng was back, and he immediately knew that things in Lingzhou had changed, so he said goodbye to all the senior brothers and left the table.

In the Zeng family, when Gu Haotian arrived in a hurry, Xiao Jiasui, Xu Guanzhong, Wu Yong and others had already chatted with Gongsun Sheng for a while.

"Wei Dingguo and Shan Tinggui are really in prison! And I'm going to the capital tomorrow! Xiao Jiasui said excitedly when he saw Gu Haotian come in.

It is said that before attacking Zengtou City that day, Gu Haotian and everyone made a special analysis of the back road of Shan Tinggui and Wei Dingguo, and being imprisoned by Zhang Taishou was the most likely and the most desirable result for them, so they made some targeted arrangements, and Gongsun Sheng sat in Lingzhou these days to be responsible for this matter.

"Have the two families and the barracks made arrangements?" Gu Haotian immediately thought of the follow-up.

"It's all arranged, and Brother Yang Lin is now in charge over there." Gongsun Sheng replied.

"Where's the Dead Tree Ridge?" Gu Haotian asked again.

Recently, it was Xiao Jiasui who was in charge, and he replied: "Brother Ma Ling has been going over there for a few days, and the afternoon before yesterday I asked Brother Li Kui to bring a hundred members of the Hengdao Battalion over, and there should be results today." ”

Gu Haotian listened to the report of the two, thought about it, and said:

"Ladies and gentlemen, judging from the current progress, it is no big deal to rob Wei Dingguo and Shan Tinggui, but our important target is in Lingzhou City, where there are two dependents, two camps of fire and water, and a huge treasury, I think about two, one is how to enter Lingzhou at the lowest cost, and the other is how to obtain the maximum benefits, and don't alarm the surrounding states and counties too much, so that we can smoothly withdraw to the manor."

After listening to this, everyone in the audience couldn't help but fall into deep thought. After a few breaths, Xu Guanzhong said:

"Lingzhou City is not an ordinary village, it is not advisable to storm it, even if the 2,000 infantry troops we bring are all filled in, it may not be effective, I suggest sneaking in some people in batches, and then countering the two battalions of water and fire, and then the city will be captured by the cooperation between the inside and the outside."

"If we can persuade the officers and soldiers of Lingzhou, then the next step will be much easier, we are blocking the city while acting in the name of officers and soldiers, outsiders don't know for a while, and it is not up to us to do it." Wu Yong continued.

"What the two of you said is reasonable, the key is still on Wei and Dan, I will rush to Withered Tree Ridge now to see how it goes." Xiao Jiasui immediately took the initiative to invite Sakura.

"It's okay, Director Xiao will take Yang Zaixing and fifty personal guards over, and I'll entrust you there." Gu Haotian immediately responded, and said to Gongsun Sheng, "Director Gongsun will return to Lingzhou immediately, and Director Shi Qian will come over to assist you, and you must protect the safety of the two relatives." ”

At that moment, Xiao Jiasui and Gongsun Sheng each brought people there.

Let's say that in the southwest adjacent place of Lingzhou, there is a treacherous mountain, but you can see the mountains full of dead trees and reed buds everywhere, and people call it the dry tree mountain. This mountain is located on the side of the official road from Lingzhou to the capital, there are many merchants who usually come and go, so in recent years, a group of strong men have gathered on the mountain, the first one is called Bao Xu, a broadsword, the appearance is ugly, the face is hideous, and the people of the rivers and lakes are called the god of mourning.

A few days ago, a traveling Taoist priest from Withered Tree Mountain claimed to be Ma Ling, saying that he was a messenger from Liangshan Manor. This Liangshan Manor is now famous in the rivers and lakes, Bao Xu dared to treat slowly, so he welcomed into the cottage to warm hospitality, after a conversation, but to borrow his treasure land, robbed two passers-by. Robbing people and goods was the main business of the strongman, and Bao Xu responded at that time, but he was also careful, and sent his henchmen to Zengtou City behind his back, and if he really found the news of the people of Liangshan Manor, he no longer doubted it.

In the next two days, Bao Xu and Ma Ling got along day by day, and he explored a lot of news about Liangshan Manor, especially the guards who praised him a lot, he didn't believe it very much, in his opinion, they were all robbers, nothing more than a few people, and there was a lot of difference.

However, it wasn't until two days later, when the big black man named Li Kui led a team of people up the mountain, that he was truly convinced, and it turned out that Ma Ling was not lying.

At that time, when he looked at the team of 100 people in the field in front of the village, Bao Xu wondered, what is the use of walking and standing neatly when the bandits are walking? Unexpectedly, he was immediately laughed at by that Li Kui. The black guy said, "He will let all the men of the Dry Tree Mountain go up to fight against them, and if they lose, they are willing to worship him as a teacher."

Bao Xu was immediately enraged, he gathered more than 300 minions in the stockade and fought with them, but only the time of the pillar incense, the people of Dry Tree Mountain lay on the ground, and the people of Liangshan were not injured at all. At that time, he was dumbfounded, but Ma Ling and Li Kui didn't care at all, as if they had expected the result.

Bao Xu deeply remembered what Li Kui said at that time: If it is a real guy, it only takes half a pillar of incense, and none of the three hundred people will survive. But he didn't dare to refute it at the time, because he had seen with his own eyes the power of the weapon called the horizontal sword.

Since that competition, Bao Xu has been yearning for Liang Shan, and he has secretly asked Ma Ling if Liang Shan wants someone like him. Ma Ling said that the petty officials of the manor are extremely benevolent and righteous, and if they are not traitors and evildoers, they will take them in. Bao Xu had an extra eye at that time, thinking that he must do a good job of robbing people as a meeting gift.

The next day, Xiao Jiasui took fifty guards up the mountain, allowing Bao Xu to see what elite is again. At that time, under the guidance of Ma Ling, he immediately expressed his intention to return to Liangshan to this Director Xiao, but he didn't expect this Director Xiao to agree, but he was overjoyed.

On this day, a sentinel finally came to report that a prisoner car was coming from the direction of Lingzhou. Xiao Jiasui immediately dispatched men and horses, and ordered the young general named Yang Zaixing to block the way with his personal guards, Li Kui led the horizontal knife camp to block the back road, and Ma Ling and Bao Xu led the dead tree mountain to guard the periphery.

At about mid-morning, more than 300 Lingzhou officers and soldiers entered the ambush circle without realizing it under the command of a partial general. Then Bao Xu saw an unforgettable battle, the guard battalion in front of him only made an impact, and then guarded the prisoner car behind him, and then stabbed in two rows with spears wave after wave, pressing over like a crush; And the horizontal knife battalion in the back is even more violent, the long knife flies like cutting melons and vegetables, and there are no corpses in front. In just a quarter of an hour, all the officers and soldiers knelt on the ground and begged to surrender, and the men of Dry Tree Mountain did not have a chance to make a move.

"What Li Kui said that day was true, if the swords and soldiers really met, don't say half a pillar of incense, I'm afraid that there will be no living people in the dry tree mountain in a quarter of an hour!"

Bao Xu secretly amazed, and couldn't help but be even more glad that he had made the right choice, so he immediately led his men into the field to escort the prisoners and clean up the battlefield, and he was extremely active.

Shan Tinggui and Wei Dingguo were in the prisoner car, and after watching the whole process in a daze, when they were shocked, Xiao Jiasui led someone to release the two from the prison car.

"In Xiao Jiasui, Xialiangshan Manor, the ancient petty official ordered me to wait to pick up the two generals."

When these two people heard this, they came back to their senses, and for a while they remembered the person in front of them, and they couldn't help but bow down and say: "The grace of saving life is difficult to repay forever!" ”

Then everyone went up the mountain together, Xiao Jiasui told all the way about the changes in Lingzhou City, Shan Tinggui and Wei Dingguo heard that their subordinates were broken up and their families were imprisoned, so they couldn't help but be angry, and they couldn't wait to immediately eat and peel that Zhang Taishou alive.

Seeing the two of them like this, Xiao Jiasui couldn't help but quip: "Didn't the two generals have hope for that Zhang Taishou that day!" ”

Wei Dingguo said hatefully: "We only said that the guy was deceived, who knew that he would do such a thing." ”

"What are you going to do now?"

Xiao Jiasui then asked, but it was meaningful.

The two were stunned when they heard this, and then they glanced at each other, and saw Shan Tinggui say:

"We are willing to return to Liangshan Manor, but please allow me to avenge my hatred."

"When it comes to revenge, the petty officials have already planned for you, just like this."

When the two of them saw it, they were immediately grateful, and they had no second thoughts in their hearts.
