At about the time of the night, Su Sheng led three hundred subordinates to rush to the Yaowang Valley after solving Guo Liang's people, and under the response of Wu Yong, Duan Jingzhu and others, they blocked the remaining hundreds of officers and soldiers in the Yaowang Temple.

Everyone cleaned up the mess, it was the end of the hour, and at this time the night was already dark, Wu Yong thought that the military of the Daimyo Mansion would definitely not have time to take care of this matter, and thousands of war horses could not be transferred there at once, and this Medicine King Valley was the safest place. So he asked the first battalion of Yusheng to change into the clothes of officers and soldiers to guard the Yaowang Valley, and Duan Jingzhu led the men to manage the horses, and stayed that night.

On the second day, Wu Yong and Duan Jingzhu and others inspected the entire racecourse together, and when they returned to Yaowang Temple, it was already noon, and they took a break after lunch to see that it was not time, Wu Yong estimated that the war in Beijing City was almost over, so he explained to Yu Sheng, and took a few people to prepare to enter the city to report to Gu Haotian about the racecourse, but when he was about to set off, he saw the team members in charge of guarding on the periphery, and hurriedly ran in to report, more than ten horses came from outside the valley, and I don't know who was coming towards Yaowang Temple.

When Wu Yong saw the report, he immediately stopped, and immediately ordered that no one should stop him, just let him in.

In less than a moment, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves outside the Yaowang Valley, and in an instant, I saw more than ten horsemen riding in front of the Yaowang Temple.

"Where is Guo Liang, let him come out to see me quickly."

"General Guo inspected the horse farm last night, accidentally broke his foot, and now he is lying on the bed.

"Straight sissy thief! Bad luck everywhere! You don't need to report it, and take me in. ”

The man cursed, and then commanded the front to lead the way. The group arrived in front of the main hall after a few breaths, and then saw a voice from the hall.

"Li Dujian is in the dust, but where did he come from? It's a pity that General Guo can't come out anymore, so if there is anything important, he will be wronged by the eunuch and say a few words to the subordinates. ”

As he spoke, he saw two people coming out of the hall, dressed as a thirty-year-old businessman, and behind him was a tall and vicious man.

"Who are you? What about Guo Liang? ”

It turned out that this person was Li Cheng, and said that after he learned about the city in Beijing, he knew that the government was a dead place, so he told Wenda that he went to the barracks to transfer troops, and later slipped out of the city immediately when he saw that the situation was not good. After staying outside the city for the night, he sent someone into the city this morning to investigate, and knew that there was no hope of turning the tables. Guo Liang of this Medicine King Valley was a close confidant he promoted, and there was nowhere to go for a while, so Li Cheng brought a few guards to come here. At this time, two strange men suddenly appeared at the door, and a sense of foreboding immediately arose in my heart.

"Who is he, you can't recognize it, you should always recognize who the master is!"

At this time, a mocking voice sounded behind him, Li Cheng looked back, but saw a tall man standing at the gate, like a door god, it was the leader of the thieves who made him tremble at the mouth of the Flying Tiger Valley, and he was suddenly frightened.

The Medicine King Valley was over, Li Cheng's heart was instantly cold, he couldn't imagine that he had just come out of the wolf's den, and he had thrown himself into the tiger's den. Looking at the sergeant Liangshan who was eyeing him fiercely, he didn't even have the heart to resist.

"Take them all!"

With the order of Su Sheng, dozens of team members rushed up and pressed more than ten officers and soldiers to the ground and tied them into rice dumplings.

Seeing that he was tied up and taken away, Li Cheng couldn't help but panic in his heart, and immediately shouted loudly:

"I have something important to report here, let me go quickly!"

Wu Yong saw that Li Cheng was shouting loudly, thinking that this guy was the general of Beijing City, or knew some secrets, so he opened his mouth and said:

"Leave him behind, and listen to what he has to say?

"The imperial court - the imperial court has sent a large army to crusade against Liangshan!"

"What do you say! This is when it is! Wu Yong was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly took two steps forward and asked.

"But it is—but it is—"

"Say it quickly, or the master will hack you immediately!"

Seeing Li Cheng spitting and spitting, he was anxious, and stepped forward to put the horizontal knife on his neck.

This Li Cheng was frightened for a while, and hurriedly said: "But it was yesterday morning, Cai Xiang in the capital sent the news to the Daimyo's Mansion, and at that time, only Xia and Liang Zhongshu and Wenda knew about it. ”

"When will the imperial court send troops? Who is in the lead? ”

Wu Yong saw that Li Cheng didn't seem to be cheating, and then asked again.

"According to Cai Xiang's letter, after the imperial court received a request for help from the Daimyo's Mansion, it ordered Guan Sheng, the general of Puzhou, Hedong, to lead the army to the expedition, and now it should be on the way."

"Take a good look at this guy, wait for me to go to Beijing City to verify, and if it is false, I will take his life."

Wu Yong saw that the situation was urgent and the time was almost up, so he took Li Cheng and Duan Jingzhu and immediately set off for Beijing. Wu Yong entered Dongcheng at night, and after asking Yang Xiong, who was left behind, he went directly to the Daimyo's mansion, but unfortunately, when he arrived in a hurry, Gu Haotian and the others had already gone to the barracks, so they chased after him.

Let's say that Gu Haotian was in the barracks, and he harvested Suo Chao, a tiger general, and he was in a good mood, just when everyone was talking and laughing, he saw Wu Yong hurrying over with a look on his face, he thought that there was a problem with the sneak attack on the Medicine King Valley Horse Farm, but who knew that Wu Yong was talking about another thing.

"Director Wu is saying that the imperial court sent Guan Sheng to lead the army to attack Liangshan!"

When Xu Guanzhong heard it at first, he seemed to be unconvinced and hurriedly asked again.

"I don't think Li Cheng is lying, he also said that Wenda and Liang Zhongshu also knew about it, and they called them for interrogation to know the truth."

Gu Haotian listened to it but believed it, he remembered that in "Water Margin", when Song Jiang attacked the Daimyo's mansion, the imperial court sent Guan Sheng, Hao Siwen, and Xuanzan to march into Liangshan to besiege Wei and save Zhao. I couldn't help but be a little worried for a while, now the main force of the escort team is outside, only the Daimyo's Mansion has eleven battalions of foot, cavalry, and water, and there are five battalions of Yinmachuan, Qingzhou Yanchang, Crouching Tiger Village, and Lijiadaokou, and there is not much strength on the Liangshan side, and the imperial army is at least tens of thousands, it seems that they should return to the army as soon as possible, otherwise Wen Huanzhang and their pressure will be too great.

At that moment, Gu Haotian left Yang Zhi, Suo Chao, and Wang Ding in the barracks, and instructed them to select a group of useful personnel among the captives to take to Liangshan, and then rushed back to Qingsheng Tower with everyone.

It is said that after Wenda was arrested, he was locked up in a guest room in Qingsheng Building, and the Liangshan personnel did not abuse him. For more than an hour, he sat in the room in a daze, thinking about what had happened since the battle with the Liangshan army, and he couldn't understand how the officers and soldiers who were several times larger than the opponent had the right time and place to break the city overnight? Just when he was puzzled, the door opened, and Gu Haotian and the others walked in.

"This little official, may I ask how you broke through the West Gate last night?" When Wenda saw it, he immediately couldn't wait to throw out the doubts in his heart.

Gu Haotian did not hide it, and briefly talked about what happened. When Wenda heard this, he gritted his teeth, if it was all in front of him, he would be torn to pieces. But he said that Liangshan Manor used tricks to win without martial arts, and he was not convinced.

"Putting aside for the time being whether the two armies can use tactics in battle, does General Wen think that with the famous officers and soldiers and my Liangshan team head-on, can there be a chance of victory? At Feihu Pass, our army only has 2,000 troops, but your army is five or six thousand, but you can't advance an inch in two hours! Outside the eastern city, the general himself personally went out to fight against our side, and what was the victory or defeat! What you are leaning on is just a city wall, but the loud bang before the government must still be fresh in the memory of the capital eunuch, if our army uses this thing to blow up the city wall, in fact, it is just a little more abundant. The reason why I don't use this thing to blow up the wall is that the famous city is an important town in northern China, and this city wall is not easy to repair, and it is still useful to defend against foreign enemies in the future, so I can't bear to do it. As for Zhang Quan and his ilk, will there be fewer of the famous officers and soldiers? It's Li Cheng, as the capital eunuch, he didn't abandon the city and run away. ”

Gu Haotian saw that Wenda's brain had fallen into a dead end, so he said something lightly.

Wenda listened several times and wanted to refute it, but found that he couldn't find a suitable argument at all, and finally he sighed and never said a word again.

"There is something today, I want to check with the general, and I hope to tell me the truth." Gu Haotian saw that Wenda's heart had been suppressed, so he asked.

"The general of the defeated army knows everything." Wen Da didn't have the momentum just now at this time, and only responded with a sigh.

"According to what Li Cheng said, the imperial court has sent a large army to attack Liangshan, but is there such a thing?"

"Li Cheng said! But where did the petty officials meet him? ”

When Wen Da asked, he suddenly remembered that he had said that Li Cheng had abandoned the city and fled, and immediately cheered up again.

"Li Cheng escaped from the city when the city was broken last night, and went to the Yaowang Valley Horse Farm today, but it fell into our hands again."

"Didn't this guy say that he was going to the barracks to transfer troops......

Wen Da muttered, but his heart was full of sadness, he already understood that Li Cheng played him last night, he didn't expect this high-ranking official who was a capital eunuch to do this, no wonder Zhang Quanzhi and others, only then did he completely believe what Gu Haotian said just now, this officer and soldier are rotten like this, there is still the opponent of Liangshan's soldiers and horses.

After a long time, Wen Da seemed to be desperate for the officers and soldiers, and took the initiative to say that Liang Zhongshu had indeed read the letter from the capital with the two of them yesterday morning, and the content of it was just as Li Cheng said.

"Since the imperial court is going to attack Liangshan Manor, we will naturally have to return, but there are still hundreds of thousands of people in the Daimyo's mansion, after the first war, if no one governs I'm afraid there will be chaos, the general is a righteous person, and the prefect of the king is also a good official who loves the people, I hope you two will work together to take this responsibility, don't let the people suffer." In addition, there is another word of persuasion, the Daimyo Mansion is located in Hebei Province, and has the great task of guarding the Central Plains, and it is hoped that the general will not be discouraged, and carefully train the troops, so that when the north invades the south in the future, he can do his part for the country and the people. ”

For Wenda, after understanding this person in the past few days, Gu Haotian still values it more, and once wanted to persuade him to surrender and bring him to Liangshan. But thinking that the Daimyo's Mansion is a key place in the north, and a useful talent must be left, rather than letting the court send another person, it is better to let this person who knows the root of the matter stay, as for the Liangshan Manor, it doesn't matter if there is one more or less such a person, so he said this seriously.

And Wen Da was like a lightning strike when he heard it, he was already lifeless for himself, but he didn't expect that this person not only killed him, but also entrusted him with a heavy responsibility. To his surprise, this person, who was regarded as a thief by the imperial court, actually said something patriotic and worried about the people, and did his best better than those court officials.

After being stunned for a long time, Wenda opened his mouth and asked:

"Why are petty officials like this?"

"Without him, you and I are just Han Chinese!"

Gu Haotian replied with a smile, then got up and went out.
