Li Cheng entered the city overnight and brought an astonishing news, Wenda did not dare to be slow, and immediately went to the government with him to ask to see Liang Zhongshu.

That Liang Zhongshu had just fallen asleep at this time, and Li Cheng, who had suddenly heard, returned, and immediately got up and came out to meet him.

"Is it said that Suo Chao fornicated with the Liangshan bandits, causing the officers and soldiers to be trapped in Feihuyu?"

Li Cheng's remarks shocked Liang Zhongshu, he knew that Suo Chao was a person, and when he saw him just now, although he was suspicious, but when he really identified it, he couldn't believe it for a while.

"It will not be wrong, after the battle yesterday afternoon, the spies found out that the Liangshan bandits were defeated and retreated more than 30 miles, and that place to the exit of Feihuyu was at least 50 or 60 miles, and the exit of Yujiatuan was blocked by our army. If the thieves want to block my back road, they will have to climb the mountains and mountains, and they will not be able to rush there in an hour or two. The only possibility is that the ambush soldiers hid in the valley first, and there are not many places in this valley to hide troops, and the valley was also guarded by Suo Chao before, if the two are not related, who believes it? ”

"After all, it's just speculation......"

"Xianggong, if this matter is just speculation, then what the lower officer heard and saw in the prisoner camp is ironclad evidence."

Li Cheng saw that Liang Zhongshu still didn't believe it, and immediately threw out another heavy piece of evidence. I saw him go on to say:

"Do you know who accompanied Suo Chao to the prisoner camp in the afternoon? It turned out to be Yang Zhi, who robbed the birthday gang last year, and the two of them called brothers and sisters very affectionate. Suo Chao also asked him to drink in the city a few days later, and his thoughts were already clear. ”

"Are you saying that Yang Zhi is also in the Liangshan Bandits?"

Liang Zhongshu's eyes widened when he heard this, and he asked hurriedly.

"No, that guy has a big blue spot on his face, and he will never admit it."

"It's no wonder that there has been no news from the government in recent years, and I can't imagine that this guy is hiding in Liangshan Manor. This Suo Chao also had dealings with him, and he must have hooked up in secret, but he hated Suo Chao villain who seemed to be loyal, but he was such an ungrateful person. ”

When Li Cheng said Yang Zhi, Liang Zhongshu had already decided that Suo Chao had defected to the enemy, and after he scolded him fiercely, he immediately led people to arrest Suo Chao and the dozens of cronies he brought back and put him in prison. After saying that Suo exceeded the government, he knew that Liang Zhongshu and others were suspicious of him, but he didn't care, he just said that he would see people's hearts for a long time, and then he would come to the bottom of the water, so he just went home to see the old lady's wife and slept peacefully. It's just that he never expected that at the third watch in the middle of the night, Wen Da led someone to break into the house, saying that Li Dujian had returned to the city and accused him of collaborating with the enemy, and now he was imprisoned on the orders of the prime minister.

Suo Chao shouted that he was wronged, but he was heard - why didn't you mention Yang Zhi's matter before, and he was choked and speechless on the spot. Yang Zhi is Liang Zhongshu's hated person, although Suo Chao knew that he was wronged, how could he dare to mention it, and he didn't expect Li Da to see what happened in the prisoner camp. Then he sighed "I have a clear heart", and went with Wenda without resisting.

In the barracks cell, Wang Ding has been staying here these days, during the day he heard the news of Liangshan's defeat of the officers and soldiers, secretly glad that he had chosen the right path, at noon he was worried that Liang Zhongshu would take Lu Junyi out of anger, but saw Wenda come over and tell him to take care of Lu Junyi, which happened to be in line with his heart. That night, he asked Xue Yong to send the news out, and he stayed on duty, but unexpectedly, dozens of prisoners suddenly came in the middle of the night, and one of them was his close boss Suo Chao, who was shocked for a while.

"Suo Chao and others are suspected of collaborating with the enemy, you wait for strict supervision, don't make mistakes."

Wenda gave a serious explanation, and went to take care of himself.

Wang Ding was stunned, unable to believe it for a while. The generals in the army, if you talk about friendship, it is this Sotiha who is the best with him, and naturally he knows him best, so he will never believe that he collaborates with the enemy. Fortunately, with his current identity, he has time to understand the truth.

Sitting opposite each other in the middle of the night, Wang Ding finally knew the ins and outs of the matter, but his judgment of the result was not as optimistic as Suo Chao, he wanted to use Liang Zhongshu's viciousness and Li Cheng's dark face, even if they later knew that they had done something wrong, they must be wrong.

In any case, he had to help this old boss, Wang Ding secretly decided, so he was anxious to meet the powerful Gongsun Daochang. Just when he was restless, Xue Yong returned.

"Where is Gongsun Daochang? I want to see him. ”

Wang Ding pulled Xue Yong over and asked anxiously.

"But for Sotiha?"

Xue Yong was not surprised, but asked calmly. Wang Dingjian said, but he was surprised, and blurted out:

"How do you know?"

"Brother Shi Qian entered the city at night and said, what happened to Suo Ti was already expected outside the city, only we will protect his safety, and other self-owned manors will arrange it."

"So great!" Wang Ding's heart suddenly settled down, but he thought of something in an instant, and couldn't help but worry, so he said, "If Liang Zhongshu wants to kill Suo Ti Ha that day, how can we protect him?" "I was about to discuss this matter with you, the Intelligence Department was worried about the safety of Lu Yuanwai, and wanted to ask his junior brother Shi Wengong to bring someone in, this person is highly skilled in martial arts, if he is safe outside the staff and the Ti Zhi, now we just need to try to let him in."

Wang Dingjian said nothing, and after a discussion between the two of them, they decided to rent a house near the barracks, let Shi Wengong wait, and then steal dozens of military uniforms, pretend to be officers and soldiers in an emergency, and blend into the prison.

Half a day passed in a blink of an eye, and when the people in the city were preparing for lunch, they heard the horns outside the city.

"Liangshan soldiers and horses are coming!"

For a while, the people of the city thought of a possibility, many people immediately rushed to the east gate city wall, and sure enough, they saw a large number of people and horses standing neatly in the open space outside the city.

After Liang Zhongshu heard the news, surrounded by Wenda, Li Cheng and others, he hurried to the top of the city tower, but he couldn't help but gasp. He immediately realized that he was in trouble this time, and he couldn't help but feel some remorse when he thought about how he had senselessly provoked these fierce gods. But there was no way back, he squinted his eyes and looked at Wen Da and Li Cheng who were standing on both sides, and said:

"The two are both prisoners, the thieves have been killed, how to retreat from the enemy?"

And these two people have different feelings about the situation in front of them. Li Cheng personally experienced the strength of the Liangshan army, and when he saw its military might, he was naturally frightened. Wen Da secretly said that this grass coward looks good, but I don't know if it is really as strong as Li Cheng said.

At this time, seeing Liang Zhongshu asking, Li Cheng had just been defeated and didn't dare to speak out, so Wen Da replied:

"The city of Beijing is full of grain and high city, although the thieves seem to be majestic, but there are only a few thousand people, we rely on the city to defend, they will be helpless, and then they will move to all over the country to reinforce the troops, and they will naturally retreat."

Liang Zhongshu also felt justified when he saw it, and after calming down a little, he handed over the city defense to Yu Wen and Li, and went back to the ya.

Let's say that the people of Liangshan Manor, after a busy day and a night, finally straightened out their affairs, and left Xiao Jiasui, the military and political director, and Yang Zhi, the old general of the Daimyo Mansion, to take some people to do the work of persuading the prisoners to surrender, and let the first and second battalions of infantry stay to guard the guards and rest and recuperate. The remaining seven battalions of foot riders set off this morning and came to the outside of Beijing.

Just as the people in the city were staring outside the city, Gu Haotian and the others also stood in front of the formation and observed the majestic city in front of them.

"If we attack this big city with seven battalions of thousands of people, it is difficult to win, but fortunately, we have been prepared." Xu Guanzhong sighed at this big city.

Gu Haotian, Xu Guanzhong, Wu Yong and others actually had no intention of attacking from the beginning, and although the number of Liangshan guards has increased greatly, they must not be wasted senselessly. So at that time, they set up two strategies, the first strategy was to let hundreds of elite soldiers from the guard battalion and the officer training camp sneak into the city in advance, waiting for the opportunity to cooperate with the outside to seize the city gate. If this fails, the latest research result of the manor's firearms workshop - black gunpowder will be used.

Of course, as Gu Haotian, he still didn't want to expose this secret weapon in advance unless it was a last resort. Then he stood in front of the battle, and seeing that the officer and soldier had no intention of going to war, he ordered:

"At present, it seems that the officers and soldiers dare not go out of the city to face the battle, and the ten battalions of the cavalry will leave a guard, and the rest will set up camp first, and then reason."

At about noon in the afternoon, the Liangshan army set up a large camp four or five miles east of the city. Lu Zhishen's seventh infantry battalion, Hu Yanzhuo's ninth cavalry battalion, and Qin Ming's sixth cavalry battalion were stationed in the Chinese army, Zheng Yuanjue's ninth infantry battalion was used as the rear battalion, and Luan Tingyu, Hao Siwen, and Wang Yu were divided into three camps in the front, left, and right.

In the evening, Wu Yong came over with the left-behind personnel to meet, and also brought the latest news in the city, such as the situation of Lu Junyi and Suo Chao, the current situation of Shi Wengong, Gu Bo, Han Shizhong and others, etc., after everyone discussed it, they felt that everything was going smoothly and there was no deviation from the original plan, so they continued to follow the plan.

The next day, Qin Ming led the seventh battalion of cavalry to the city to fight, and when he heard that he was insulted, he also wanted to try the true strength of the Liangshan army, so he ignored Li Cheng's advice and led 3,000 cavalry out of the city to meet the battle.

Qin Ming didn't expect to be able to get a battle today, but when he was calling for battle, he actually opened the city gate and killed a group of people, and he was immediately overjoyed. Gu Haotian and the others watched the battle in the rear, but they didn't expect the other party to respond to the battle, and only envied the rest of the battalion generals.

Let's say that when Wenda went out of the city to stand up, he saw a sturdy man in front of the thief army carrying a mace, riding a red horse, pointing to this side and scolding, he couldn't help but be angry in his heart, he shouted left and right:

"Who's going with me to capture this impudent horseman!"

"I didn't want to!"

At this time, I saw a general flashing out from behind the side, but it was Wen Da's subordinate general named Qian Shun, and I saw him slap his horse and carry a gun and go straight to Qin Ming.

Qin Ming was overjoyed when he saw it, and was waiting to urge the horse to greet him, but he couldn't help but be annoyed when he saw a general killed by lightning behind him.

"How dare anyone rob me of my credit!"

He shouted to stop him from going out of battle.

"The right to give up the small fish of the battalion commander to me, and the big fish behind you will be kept for you."

Seeing that the man laughed and didn't stop, then Qin Ming understood that it was his deputy Guo Sheng, but he couldn't compete with him, so he had to stop and watch the battle.

In an instant, Guo Sheng and that Qian Shun were killed, but Qian Shun was finally inferior in skills, and after more than 50 years, he was picked off the horse by Guo Sheng's halberd and died. Seeing this, Wen Da was furious, and personally slashed into the arena with a knife dance, Guo Sheng was not afraid of him, and the halberd was about to be greeted, but a voice behind him sounded like thunder.

"You kid don't be insatiable, you said that this big fish gave it to me, and quickly retreat with me."

It turned out that when Qin Ming saw that the other party's master would come out, he was worried that Guo Sheng would suffer a loss, and second, he couldn't hold it back, so he hurriedly came over to grab it.

At this time, Qin Ming didn't care whether Guo Sheng left or not, he instantly killed Wen Dama, and without saying a word, he raised his mace and smashed it down.

Let's say that Wen Da was going to avenge Qian Shun when he entered the scene, but suddenly saw that the other party's master was fierce in the future, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly raised his knife to meet him. However, Qin Ming is the strength of the five tigers of the Liangshan Horse Army in "Water Margin", which is an easy person. Under just one blow, Wenda felt that his arms were numb, and he immediately became afraid, and after only thirty or forty fights, he escaped and retreated.

Qin Ming didn't expect the other party to be so unbearable, and when he came back to his senses and was about to wave his troops to chase and kill, the officers and soldiers had already retreated into the city, so he gave up.

In the next two days, the infantry battalions took turns to fight under the city, but despite all kinds of tricks, the officers and soldiers no longer dared to fight, and for a time Liangshan soldiers and horses were in the limelight.
