Why is Liangshan Manor, which was designated as a thief by the imperial government, and the ancient petty official so popular with the common people? After Guan Sheng pondered for half the night, he couldn't make any conclusions about this phenomenon, or rather, he deliberately avoided that conclusion, but he made up his mind instead, the merits were not something he could judge, and since he came on the orders of the imperial court, he acted according to the orders.

Early the next morning, Guan Sheng called Xuanzan to discuss, and then ordered the whole army to advance five miles, until the water was near.

In the middle of the day, Guan Sheng led the imperial army to the destination, but just stood up, but listened to the front of the trumpet, a team rushed over, and in an instant it was in front of the formation, and then a series of strange orders came, before and after a few breaths, a tight and neat military formation appeared in front of the officers and soldiers.

Guan Sheng rode on his horse and watched the whole process carefully from beginning to end, at first he wanted to take advantage of the enemy's foothold to rush and kill, but when he looked carefully, he saw that when they were marching, they were in a row, and the tofu blocks were like pieces, moving over one by one. I dispelled that thought. After a few days of contact, he already knew very well that his subordinates would not be engaged in battle if they attacked, but he would be in chaos first.

Immediately, Guan Sheng saw a row of generals gathered in front of the Liangshan formation, among which a silver-armored young man was sitting on a tall horse, with a heroic posture. He immediately understood that it must be the little official who was called the jade-faced Meng Wei, but he couldn't help but secretly praise it in his heart.

At this time, Xuanzan said on the side: "Wait for me to go and fight, and kill the majesty of the thief!" ”

Guan Sheng Shang came to respond, and this Xuanzan had already killed in front of the Liangshan Formation and shouted and cursed. Immediately, he saw that the opponent's formation also killed a horse, and I saw him shouting and scolding:

"Ugly ghost, keep your mouth clean, but my junior brother is what you can scold!"

As he spoke, the man quickly struck Xuanzan, and his spear reached for his throat.

Xuan Zanzhi's interests and stakes, and hurriedly raised his knife to block, but obviously the difference in strength was too great, and he saw that one after another shook and almost fell off the horse.

Coming to the world! Xuanzan is no opponent! Guan Sheng saw at a glance that the gap between the two people's martial arts was too big, and he immediately became worried, holding a knife in his hand, ready to respond at any time. Sure enough, it was less than twenty times, and Xuanzan was difficult to support, and Guan Sheng didn't dare to hesitate and hurriedly entered the arena.

"Take a break from the horses, let you meet this hero in the next meeting!"

When Xuanzan was in danger, Guan Sheng's long knife reached out and received a fatal shot for him.

"What a force! What came was the big knife Guan Sheng? It's worthy of its reputation, and it's just a good time to kill. ”

At this time, the general of Liangshan saw that the opponent was coming, and shouted excitedly.

"Who's down there?"

"In Xia Shi Wengong, the senior brother of the ancient petty official of Liangshan Manor."

It turned out to be Zhou Daxia's high feet, no wonder there are such stakes! Guan Sheng then understood, and couldn't help but have the heart to win, so he said:

"Let me see the style of Zhou Daxia's people below!"

"I won't let you down!"

Shi Wengong here is not humble.

While speaking, the two horses killed together, only to see that the dragon and tiger in the dust were fiercely fighting, and the sword dancer was like Guan Sheng's reincarnation, so that the gun seemed to be a hero in person, and he killed nearly a lily in an instant, but it was a win.

And the people in front of the two armies watched the dragon and tiger fighting in the field

It's a compliment. Xuanzan escaped death and secretly got lucky, Tang Bin and Hao Siwen knew Guan Sheng's strength, and they couldn't imagine that this junior official's senior brother was so staked, and they couldn't help but admire his mentor if there were two senior brothers above him.

Gu Haotian did not have any intention of showing weakness when he led his troops out today, he wanted to be an upright and upright teacher, and he would be convinced by Guan Sheng. Lu Junyi and Shi Wengong both arrived in front of the battle today, Shi Wengong had a temper and had the intention of showing his skills, so he heard Xuanzan insulting Liang Shan and Gu Haotian, and immediately killed them. At this time, Gu Haotian saw that the two had fought for more than 100 years, but it was difficult to separate, and he couldn't help but have a new understanding of this third senior brother. In "Water Margin", it was said that he made Qin Mingli retreat timidly after more than 20 combinations, and later said that he was knocked off the horse by Lu Junyi in a panic, and now it seems that the former is his real strength. "Senior brother, if these two continue to fight, it will be difficult to distinguish the winner for a while, it is better to take the opportunity to kill the whole army, Guan Sheng is not in the formation, and the army has no one to command the overall situation, and it will definitely be defeated."

Lu Junyi is a martial arts master, and seeing that the strength of the two is equal, he suggested on the side.

Gu Haotian also felt that the timing was good, so he immediately gave the order. Suddenly, I saw the war drums rumbling in front of the Liangshan formation, and the flag was waving. I saw that the two phalanxes in the middle of the large array quickly moved to both sides, revealing two battalions of steel giants in the middle, which were the ironclad heavy cavalry of Fuji Ji and Hu Yanzhuo, they were all wearing the new plate armor of the Liangshan Arsenal Workshop, and the training also had some time, and today it was just a good time to borrow the results of the officers and soldiers. I saw Fuji Hu, Ou Peng, Hu Yanzhuo, Peng Xi, and each of them gave an order before they set up a formation, and the two thousand heavy horsemen and the giant beasts immediately went to the officers and soldiers. Subsequently, light and heavy infantry, and light cavalry of each battalion followed up in turn according to the pre-battle deployment.

Let's say that Guan Sheng was fighting in the east of the field, and suddenly saw Liangshan's side waving his army to kill, so he wanted to get out and return to the battle to organize to meet the enemy, but he was entangled by Shi Wengong and left for a while.

I saw that the 2,000 heavily armored cavalry was like a rolling crush, easily tearing apart the formation of the officers and soldiers, and then the light cavalry and infantry widened the gap along the sides. Guan Sheng, Xuanzan and other generals struggled to maintain the formation and organize the counterattack, but in the end to no avail. Half an hour later, the officers and soldiers were completely defeated, and the Liangshan army followed and covered for several miles, gathering thousands of soldiers before retreating to the camp.

Guan Sheng, Xuanzan fought and retreated, and retreated for more than 20 miles before collecting 8,000 defeated troops and re-establishing the camp. When the defense is laid out and the morale of the army is appeased, it is already dusk. The two generals sat in the tent tiredly, but they were relatively speechless.

After a long time, Xuan Zan spoke: "We and the imperial court have underestimated the strength of the Liangshan bandits, no wonder the previous attack will also fail." ”

Although Guan Sheng has a relatively full estimate of the strength of Liangshan Manor, he never expected that he would be so powerful that he even had such a sharp weapon as the ironclad heavy cavalry, which was raised by the imperial army! Such an opponent, with all the strength they have, cannot be defeated no matter what, he sighed, and asked in a down-to-earth manner:

"What about today?"

"I can only report to the court and wait for reinforcements."

"That's all it takes."

At that moment, the two lords made up their minds, so they wrote a watch and waited for Tianming to send it to the capital.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next day, Guan Sheng was waiting for someone to send someone to the capital to submit documents. The spies who suddenly heard came to report that Duan Chang, the captain of the infantry army, had arrived to escort the grain and grass. He was stunned for a moment, how could the captain of Duan Chang's forbidden army personally bring grain and grass to the army? But he had to put down what he was doing first, and called Xuanzan to welcome him out of the camp together.

Let's say that this Chang Gui is one of the three lieutenants of the forbidden army, and there is no need to personally bring grain and grass to the front line, but this guy is lustful, and he thinks that the five thousand armies attacking one side of the grass are just blowing the ashes, so he calculated the days, and when he saw that it was almost over, he brought two thousand forbidden troops to grab the merit.

But when he arrived at the front of the officer and soldier camp, Duan Chang was strange, how could this camp fight dozens of miles away from the thief's den, and the atmosphere of the full camp was not right! So as soon as he entered the Chinese military tent, he immediately asked Guan Sheng and Xuanzan what was going on. Naturally, these two people didn't dare to hide it, so they told them all about yesterday's battle.

This situation was something that Duan Chang didn't expect, and he couldn't help but be entangled in his heart while being surprised. This time, he came here to fight for merit, but now in this situation, if he doesn't do anything as a lieutenant, he will go back in disgrace, not telling jokes, and invisibly being responsible, and suddenly he is a little difficult to ride a tiger.

Just when Duan Chang was at a loss, he heard a personal attendant next to him say:

"The captain has worked hard all the way, so it's better to rest first and then make a plan."

Duan Chang saw that it was Yuhou Keqing, and he was at a loss for a while, so he ordered to go back to the tent for a break first, and then discuss it in the afternoon.

And said that Ke Qing is also a child of the forbidden army family, and this time he also wanted to take the opportunity to make some credit, he just listened to the report of Guan Sheng and the two in the Chinese military tent, and his heart was suddenly cold, thinking that he had been in the position of Marquis Yu for several years, and this time it took a lot of money to be able to follow, I thought that I could get some credit to move my position, but in this situation, wouldn't it be a trip in vain? This is how a man is willing. He stared at the two main generals for a long time, and an idea suddenly popped up in his heart, it must be these two straw bales who ate the defeat and exaggerated to escape responsibility. Once this thought grows, it spreads inhibitibly. He thought that Xuanzan was just a defensive envoy in the forbidden army, and he had always done nothing, and this Guan Sheng was even more unheard of. It must be that Xuanzan in order to get ahead, pull out this so-called descendant of Guan Sheng, compete for this credit, and finally take his own humiliation due to his lack of ability.

Ke Qing reasoned and felt that there must be no doubt, so he suggested that Duan Chang take a break. Then he immediately went to the forbidden army to find a few colleagues who came with him for the same purpose, and after saying his thoughts, he immediately got unanimous approval, and then went to Duan Qing's camp together.

"Are you saying that this Guan Sheng and Xuanzan are incompetent and defeated, and maliciously exaggerate the combat power of the thieves to shirk their responsibility."

After Duan Chang said, he asked hesitantly.

"Taiwei thinks that the 15,000 elites of the imperial court are paper-paste, even the Liao soldiers in the north are afraid of him, how much ability can this Liangshan Caokou have, and what kind of ironclad heavy riding is he talking about! How much did the imperial court raise with the strength of the whole country, and how did this isolated island in the water of Liangshan raise thousands of horses. The subordinates thought that the truth was false, and seeing was believing, and the captain would lead the army to try it tomorrow. If the thief is really strong, we have 10,000 troops to retreat and always calmly, if it is false, it proves what the subordinates say, and we can send the captain a great achievement. ”

This Ke Qing is really a good theorist, and his reasoning is actually reasonable. After hearing this, Duan Chang was greatly moved, thinking about if he could really lead the army to take down the Liangshan thieves in person, then among the forbidden army in the capital and in front of the courtiers, who else could compare to his scenery, he was moved for a while.

After thinking about it carefully, Duan Chang made up his mind, and at noon he called Guan Sheng and Xuanzan to the tent to reprimand him, and then took over the command of the army, and ordered him to set off at midnight tomorrow morning, go out twenty miles to set up a village, and meet the thieves.
