This praise is also completely out of the identity of the imperial court general, and he, Guan Sheng, and Hao Siwen don't know that Brother Xiao Tang is an official to kill a thief and a thief to kill a dog official. It is not difficult to pass the buck and hide the past, but it is tricky to persuade them not to become enemies of the Qingzhou Liangshan brothers......

Yan Qing, who listened to Xuanzan's words, frowned slightly, thought a little in his heart, and said: "Now that the words can't be said to death, whether Brother Xiao Tang and the big leader can only be opposed, or two words." Now I don't know what my brother means, it is not easy to move lightly with the soldiers and horses set by my Xiao family. ”

Xuanzan was even more anxious when he heard this, and said: "Brother Xiaoyi, let's not talk about Liangshanbo, the two strongmen in Qingzhou say that they are not harmful to ordinary people, but how do those guys make a big noise?" If you don't rob money and grab food, where can you afford to raise so many military horses? To put it bluntly, don't you still have to take the big food grabbers from all over the country? Xiaojiaji and Qingzhou are not far from each other, and if the strongmen want to continue to make a big noise, they are bound to be enemies with Xiaojiaji, just like Zengtou City, Dezhou, and now Zhujiazhuang in Dongping Mansion, I am afraid that they will invade the head of Xiaojiaji, the famous mansion in the future! ”

Beat your own people, but it's not a joke?

Shi Xiu thought in his heart, he had already heard a little impatient, so he also stood up and said coldly: "It's good that the Xiao family is concentrated in the sons, they are all local village warriors, not from the regular official army, most of them have received the great favor of Xiao Tang's brother, when the foreign invaders invade this place, Xiao Jiaji's people have their own responsibility to defend the land, if it is not for the left-behind division and Jun order to emphasize, we will only wait for my brother's dispatch, and now Guan Dujian and the two generals are going to ask for the Jun decree of Liang Zhongshu to force me Xiao Jiaji to send troops?" ”

Originally, Shi Xiu had contributed to the conquest of Hedong Tianhu, and he also had some friendships with Guan Sheng, Xuanzan, Hao Siwen and others, but now he was not as tactful and polite as Yan Qing when he spoke in the hall of the mansion. Xuanzan felt even more impatient when he saw it, and when he wanted to speak, he saw Guan Sheng raise his hand, and shook his head slightly, interrupting the words he was about to blurt out.

Originally, Guan Shengxin said that after Xiao Tang captured Zhang Di, the first military commander in southern Hebei, Xiao Jiaji also sheltered the displaced people who suffered from banditry and military disasters under the rule of the military states of Hebei and the two roads, and at that time there were about 6,000 soldiers and horses, and the number of people has reached nearly 10,000 over the years. If there are more reinforcements along the way, if there is another Xiao Renxia who is willing to come forward to conquer a few strong bandits on Jingdong Road, it is not as good as fighting under him back then, clearing out those local thieves in the green forest?

But now seeing that Xiao Jiaji's attitude of refusing to send troops is becoming more and more tough, Guan Sheng doesn't know what Xiao Tang's recent situation is, but he can roughly guess the reason why the market town under his name avoids the conflict with the two mountains of Qingzhou. Thinking of this, Guan Sheng couldn't help but sigh secretly, and said in his heart Xiao Renxia, you are good again, but you are also the identity of an important minister of the imperial court, if you are mixed with the people in the green forest, you are afraid that you will be harmed in the future......

After thinking about it in his heart, Guan Sheng also stood up and said: "The three of us brothers dare not dare or forget Xiao Renxia's past kindness, and the Xiao family has gathered all the heroes who are Xiao Renxia's henchmen, so we naturally treat each other as friends, how can we be coercive?" It's just that no matter what Xiao Renxia or the heroes think, since Taishi Cai of Bianjing has instructed Liang Zhongshu to stay behind, we are in charge of our duties, and we still have to fight early and late. Since all the heroes in the market town have other plans, it is inconvenient to be reluctant, it is better to leave it alone, if there is any news from Xiao Renxia's side, I only hope that you will let the three of us know about it, and teach me to wait for peace of mind. ”

Guan Sheng said, and then beckoned Xuanzan and Hao Siwen to leave with him, but the three of them hadn't taken a few steps, but they heard Yan Qing sigh behind him and said: "Guan Guan has a duty, and he can't help but obey, but the Hebei official army is conscripted and suppressed by the Sanshan Qiangkou, I'm afraid this is only Cai Jing's meaning, not a military order approved by the official royal pen himself, and then dispatched by the Privy Council......."

After hearing what Yan Qing said, Guan Sheng suddenly stopped his steps, muttered for a while, and then said in a condensed voice: "Liang Zhongshu has the right to act cheaply, and the officers and soldiers in the department who stay behind must be at his disposal. Whether it is the will of the Bianjing Privy Council, Cai Taishi, or Liang Zhongshu, for Guan, it is not all against the will of Jun? ”

Guan Sheng said that, he started to Xuanzan and Hao Siwen and left the mansion hall, while Bian Xiang looked at the back of Guan Sheng's departure, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Back then, I first sacrificed my life with Brother Xiao Tang, but later became a brother in life and death with him. This Guan Sheng is a righteous man, who has made many meritorious deeds in front of his brother's tent before, but now he is reversed and wants to be his enemy? ”

"Brother Xiao Tang's sword went sideways, and he had expected that there would be a situation like today."

Shi Xiu shook his head and said, "Let's not talk about Guan Sheng, fortunately, the incident in Yanggu County was reported to the Left-behind Division as an emergency military situation, and it has not yet spread, and the boys in the market town Yue Fei, Zhang Xian, Tang Huai, and Wang Gui still don't know the news over there." And that Yue Fei heard that the official army of the Daimyo Mansion and even the Hebei Prefectures was going to raise troops to recruit the brothers in the two mountains of Qingzhou, and when he was waiting for our Xiao family to send troops, he also had the intention of going to battle with his hometown and sharpening his skills...... That kid doesn't know how to say that he is good, his qualifications and character are indeed all Puyu's talents, and he is a strong character that nine cows can't pull back, and his brother has the heart to take care of him to get ahead, but in the end he is afraid that he will raise a mortal enemy who wants to fight against him! ”

"Brother Yue Fei has not joined the army now, and there is still a young son at home who needs to be taken care of, so the brothers in the market town have their own way to dismiss him. and Ren Yuan, who temporarily settled down in the market town, has the Chen Guang brothers to deal with him, and there will be no mistakes. ”

Yan Qing said slowly, and immediately said: "Even if there is no assistance from my Xiao family, Guan Sheng will first take Bozhou, and then enter the two mountains of Qingzhou. And now it is the Wurui battalion of Sun An and Shan Shiqi who are guarding Bozhou, and Erlong Mountain has also sent soldiers and horses to support...... Although my brother had sent a letter to say that since the Hebei official army had also participated in the war so far, it was very likely that Guan Sheng of the big knife would use the method of 'encircling Wei to save Zhao' to plot the two mountains and villages of Qingzhou and had already prepared, but in the end, it was still inevitable to meet Guan Sheng, Xuanzan, and Hao Siwen. ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

However, it was said that Guan Sheng said that Xiao Jiaji could not jointly send troops, and he and Xuanzan and Hao Siwen led three battalions of horse army and six battalions of infantry army with a total of about four or five thousand soldiers and horses to leave the Daimyo's Mansion and stay behind.

When a group of officers and soldiers marched to the boundary of the Chaoling Tomb that had been destroyed due to flooding in the old Rizhi Office of Bozhou, Hao Siwen rode forward and said to Guan Sheng, who was leading the soldiers and horses: "Brother, Xiao Jiaji's concerns over there, the younger brother naturally understands a little. Anyway, there are Yang Zhi and other leaders in the two cottages in Qingzhou who are also our former comrades-in-arms, like why those people who were born as court officials and generals fell into the grass and became thieves, we naturally know the reason, but I am afraid that Xiao Renxia's stewards also have some friendship with other leaders in Qingzhou Liangshan, I am afraid that Yan Qing and Shi Xiu are sure that the strongmen of Qingzhou Liangshan will not harm Xiao Renxia, and there are also some reasons that are not known to us. ”

Guan Sheng sighed when he heard this, and said: "What I'm worried about is this, even if there is an old relationship, but in the final analysis, the court officials will be the court officials, and the green forest strongman is the green forest strongman, especially now Xiao Renxia is in an important position in the court, and he is famous all over the world, and the more powerful the two mountains in Qingzhou are, if they refuse to fight only in the mountains and forests, they will inevitably invade the state and seize the county, and do the deeds of the nine clans to compete with the court."

If Xiao Renxia is not clear now, and the DPRK and China are ghosts, if someone deliberately makes a big fuss about this matter, it is difficult to guarantee that the future will not be ruined. No matter how strong the righteous anger is, how can you see the strongman who invades the military state become a big thief? Even if Xiao Renxia refuses to do these things now, we have to do them. ”

Hao Siwen was also silent for a while when he heard this, as an official of the imperial court, he was a member of the imperial court, no matter who had the authority to give orders in the imperial court, as a military official, he naturally had to obey. Maybe as Guan Sheng said, Xiao Tang intends to allow the strongmen of the two mountains in Qingzhou, and he is only afraid that he will bring disaster upon himself in the future, although Hao Siwen hesitates in his heart, but he also knows that the only way to fight with Guan Sheng is to fight with those strong men, after all, the positions of the two sides are different.

However, at this time, a sentry horse suddenly came to report in front of him: "Tell the general manager of Guan, there are a large number of strong men and horses in front, and they have reached the left near!" ”

When Guan Sheng heard this, he was busy with Hao Siwen driving his horse forward to see what was going on, but when he saw that the dust was rising, the enemy army had already come. After approaching, Guan Sheng glanced at the banner played by the group of strongmen, the essence in his Danfeng's eyes flashed, and said sharply: "It turned out to be them!" ”
