Chapter 216: Mengzhou City, the Pioneer Hero

Just when Lu Qian's night attack on the Denglai army was successful, at the head of Qingzhou City, Huang Xin and Hua Rong were looking at a piece of white silk with handwriting written on it, silent.

This was shot from the bottom of the city to the head of the city, and the person who shot the arrow was Qin Ming himself, and the person who left his name in Baibo was Lu Qian.

Xiao Li Guang and Zhen Sanshan are reluctant to go to Liangshan, the former is a descendant of a generation of generals, although the officials are smaller; The latter has done a good job in the prison of soldiers and horses, and it can be said that he is a high authority, how can he be willing to go to Liangshan?

He can't remember how Huang Xin went to Liangshan in the original book. I don't know that the three mountains of Renzhen are really righteous. But judging from the current situation, Hua Rong is unwilling to fall into the grass. Before this Lu Qian entered Qingzhou Mansion, he was rewarded by the time move. Gushang Flea got in touch with Hua Rong one step earlier, and the latter also gave face, and did not arrest Shi Qian, but bluntly told him. Lu Qian conceited that he didn't have a deep friendship with Hua Rong, this person was unwilling in his heart, and he was afraid that it would be bad to force him.

But Zhensanshan Huangxin has another reason. Thunderbolt is unwilling to affect his apprentice, what else can Lu Qian do?

With these two people in Qingzhou City, it is very difficult to break through.

This time he went to Qingzhou, Lu Qin had the idea of laying Qingzhou City, but this was only incidental. He is more important for two points: first, collect Qin Ming and Taohua Mountain; Second, lure the snake out of the hole.

He wanted to take this opportunity to attract the Song army around him as much as possible. Don't think that the small actions of the Daimyo's mansion, he doesn't know. The movements of Mengzhou and Kouzhou, and the movements of the Daimyo's Mansion, he specially sent people to keep an eye on them.

The intelligence network of the Yangsan Espionage Division is only spread around Jeju, but the focus of the deployment and control does not conflict with the overall scale.

Now that he came out, the soldiers and horses of Mengzhou, Kouzhou, and even the Daimyo Mansion all moved. Before dealing with the second army crusade in Tokyo City, clean up the surrounding mobs and upgrade them by the way.

Now Liangshanbo has beaten the state capital around him miserably, and if you look around, it can be said that it is threatening, in addition to the west, it is the north. Tokyo and Yingtianfu to the west have a strong army, and the threat cannot be lifted in the short term. But what about the north? The soldiers of the Daimyo's Mansion were not unlimited. It is not as close to Tokyo as it is to Ying Tianfu.

Previously, the Daimyo Mansion had suffered a big loss in Gaotang Prefecture. Throw the only wave of elite soldiers into a mess. However, the Daimyo's army was still strong. A soldier is also a good soldier.

What's more, there are weapons workshops in the Daimyo's Mansion, and there are abundant reserves of weapons and weapons, and Liang Shijie can recruit tens of thousands of native soldiers in the blink of an eye if he is given the order. This is a great threat.

Besides, tens of thousands of soldiers and armor are placed in the city of the Daimyo's Mansion, which is a city where elite soldiers are mourned, isn't this equivalent to a child holding gold to make a scene, which is too coveted by Lu Qian. Otherwise, Lu Qian would have used 8,000 steps to ride in Puzhou City. However, the expedition to Qingzhou only used 3,000 land and water horses, and there is no such reason.

Just when he decided to turn the army back to Liangshan, Lu Qian received a letter from the Tokyo City Letter, and the commander of the old Zhao family's second-way crusade army was finally decided. It is the guards and infantry soldiers who are waiting for He Guan.

Who is He Guan? When Lu Qian first heard his name, he really didn't know who He Guan was. There was no such character in his memory in his previous life, but in this life, he knows such a character, but when it comes to other deeds, he doesn't know at all. asked Lu Zhishen, Qin Ming and others like this, but they all knew.

It turned out that although this person was 'unknown' in later generations, at present, he was a famous general in the imperial court, and he was still a man of both civil and military affairs.

He Guan is a Kaifeng auspicious person. Because of Wu Xuan, he was engaged in Hedong Road. Later, it was inspected by Fuzhou and Volcano Army. At that time, the Liao people often crossed the border to draw, and he personally drew the boundary between each other to curb their coming. The Liao people were angry and raised troops to invade the territory. As a result, He Guan greeted the high shot, and the hair was in the middle of the hair, or the cliff stone was not burned, and the Liao people were shocked to think that the gods were alive and quietly retreated.

It can be said that since Wang Sunchen, a god who can be called a 'machine arrow', has grown old, the Great Song Dynasty has been the first to recommend He Guan.

Maybe that little Li Guang's archery skills are not inferior to him. But Hua Rong doesn't have He Guan's fame, and he doesn't have He Guan's status, even in the land of Qilu, few people know him.

Later, He Guan was appointed to Zhiminzhou (Xihe Road), and the water of the Miao River was dug to irrigate thousands of hectares of remote fields, and the people in the Hehuang area called it Guangli Canal. In less than half a year, the quality of cultivated land was improved by 26,000 hectares. The local people were convinced, and He Guan raised the flag and waved it, and easily recruited 7,400 local (Xihe Lanhuang) young archers.

Now this year is worth fifty, and it is the golden year of a general. This person is a big man in the guard's army, to be precise, he is not a figure in Gao Yu's family, and it is not easy to be promoted by Gao Cai to lead the army. I don't even know how many transactions I'm going to have to go through.

But no matter what, it is a sure thing that He Guan will be the main general of the second crusade army. Zhao Ji undoubtedly has great confidence in him, and the number of soldiers and horses on the second route must not be too small.

The commander has made up his mind, and it will be easy for the Tokyo court to raise troops and horses. There is not much time left for Liang Shanbo.

Lu Qian glanced at the west, he believed that Lin Chong must understand this truth. So it's up to the leopard's head to act.

At this time, the city of Mengzhou. Heavenly King Li Chengti led 10,000 forbidden troops of the Daimyo Mansion and had already arrived. And outside the city of Mengzhou, a camp of the Liangshan army has been facing off against Mengzhou for some time.

The latter is not a large number, according to the report of the Mengzhou Governor, there are only one or two thousand people. After the thieves arrived at the city of Mengzhou, a group of soldiers and horses returned within two days. The thieves left behind were only these people, but the Mengzhou soldiers were few and far behind, and they were burdened with defending the city, so they did not dare to hand over the troops easily.

After Li Cheng heard about it, he first despised the Liangshan army, and the general of this Liangshan army was Suo Chaoye, and even made Li Tianwang look down on him. Before the latter was promoted by the Chinese Minister, he was just a small official official, what great ability did he have?

At this moment, the first snow of winter has long stopped, but the sky has not cleared, and the sky is dark all the time, just a northwest wind.

The soldiers of the Daimyo Mansion pressed in, and according to reason, the Liangshan army should be frightened, and the morale was low. But the Liangshan soldiers who went out of the camp every day, the wind and snow were unhindered, and the Liangshan soldiers who "inspected" the four gates of Mengzhou City every day stepped on the snow neatly, sighing and instigating. The cold wind blew up the snow on the ground and threw it on people's faces. One by one, the soldiers were brave, still holding their chests forward, and they did not flinch at all.

Suo Chao sat in the back, holding a golden axe, and he had a heroic spirit. Although the number of this Liangshan army was small, it still made a detour around the four cities, and then returned to the camp as a whole. Obviously, this small group of Liangshan bandits is going to face the soldiers and horses of the Daimyo Mansion head-on.

The spirit of the vanguard is not only called Mengzhou Army, but he is confused and doesn't understand, but he also admires Suo Chao's courage. When the news reached Li Cheng's ears, he smiled, still disapproving. Suo Chao has been on an errand in the Daimyo Mansion for more than a year, and Li Cheng has also heard of his temper. Otherwise, with his good martial arts, how could he fall into the position of a regular official and not be promoted?

In his eyes, this Suo Chao is such a stunned young man. A reckless man, he doesn't know the art of war, and he doesn't know how to advance or retreat.

But who knew that the courage of the pioneer was admired by many men in the Mengzhou territory.

Suo Chao led a team of men and horses around Mengzhou City in the afternoon of this day, but saw more than a dozen strong men, holding wooden sticks and simple knives, throwing them towards the camp in strings. The first person saw Suo Chao and immediately bowed: "The villain Li Tai, who begs for food in Benzhou every day, has long heard of the name of Liang Shanbo, and his heart yearns for it, just because his father is still there, he doesn't dare to stay away." Two months ago, the old father died of illness, and the villain had no worries, so he had the idea of going to Liangshan. Now I see the heroic spirit of Suo Pioneer, imagine the righteousness of Liangshan Bo, and admire it very much. I am willing to be a pawn under my command and lead the horse to fall. ”

Suo Chao was overjoyed when he heard this, and said to Li Tai: "You strong man has this knowledge, and you like it." Do you know the art of bow and horse martial arts? Li Tai puffed up his chest and replied proudly: "The villain is also a little famous in Mengzhou, and he doesn't dare to say that he is strong in martial arts, but he knows a little bit about it, even the friends who followed me to defect will also be able to move guns and sticks." ”

The smile on the face of the pioneer was even brighter. According to Li Tai, he still has a name and surname in this Mengzhou city, so it is much easier to do. first agreed, and asked his relatives to lead a group of them down to pretend. then called the deputy general Xue Yong and asked him to explore Li Tai's past. If he is really a righteous man, he should be under his command. But if the government sits and explores, it will be chopped up.

In the evening, the person who went to Xue Yong had already turned back and sued him. This Li Tai is nicknamed Shi Dangdang, daring to act, and being righteous, and his reputation in Mengzhou City is really good. Suo Chao was very happy after hearing Xue Yong's report, and immediately called Li Tai and his group to ask them about some martial arts, and they reflected the moon in front of the tent and danced with sticks.

Suo Chao said: "Li Tai's martial arts are still acceptable. Now that I am employing people, I should not be idle with you. From now on, I will make you the deputy head of my personal guard, and all your brothers will be in charge of you. Tomorrow you will follow me to patrol the four gates. "This is said as if Mengzhou is his Suo Chao.

In this way, Suo Chao went in and out of the cold wind all day long, and never had a moment of leisure. After another two days, the weather cleared, the wind stopped, and Suo Chao was hanging in the tent, causing people to beat drums, and gather all his soldiers and horses, which was indeed more than 2,000 men.

The three drums sounded, and the soldiers standing in a row, each with their guns exposed, stood silently. Even Li Tai and the others are also wearing new battle suits and holding snow-bright weapons. But that day, Wang Li Cheng's army had already approached. Li Cheng first asked someone to write a book, but it was the person in his account who said that Suo Chao's martial arts were rare, and he was from the official army.

Although Li Cheng felt that Suo Chao's temper was too good, he was not able to get lost. But thinking that I am outnumbered by the enemy, and his troops will not retreat, I am afraid that there is also Liang Shanbo's instruction, isn't that being regarded as an outcast. If you stretch out your hand at this time, there is no possibility of success.

In this way, someone brought a handwritten letter and went to the Liangshan military camp to throw it. Suo Chao didn't even glance at Li Cheng's letter, since he sat down and decided, he was not a person who gave up halfway. What's more, Lu Qian didn't treat him badly, but what about Liang Zhongshu?

What he lost was Cai Jing's old dog's birthday, even if Li Cheng promised in the letter that he would call him okay, Suo Chao couldn't believe it at all.

Li Cheng, Li Tianwang's name has little credibility in the Daimyo Mansion.

The next book saw the soldiers on both sides, wearing new battle clothes and holding snow-bright weapons, but they were also secretly taken aback. But when his eyes were still observing the soldiers around Suo Chao, the latter had already shouted: "Liang Shijie insulted me too much, it is a great shame, and there will be a reward in the future." Li Cheng, Liang Shijie's lackey. Today I will leave you, a thief, to report and spare your life. You go back and tell Li Cheng that bird, tell him to take good care of the dog's head, and I will behead him first in this battle. As he spoke, he said to Li Tai, who was standing beside him, "Cut off the ears of this thief bird." ”
