More than 10,000 people of the main force of the Liangshan Army crossed the Yellow River and entered Mengzhou City. The officers and soldiers are still in the original style, along the Yanggu word down, Fan County, Lei Ze, like a strong embankment, so that the officers and soldiers in the three counties are not allowed to take a step forward.

Lu Qian completely left the threat of the Puzhou official army behind and pondered the Daimyo Mansion. And the grass snake Li Si has already penetrated the inside and outside of the Daimyo's Mansion, who told him to go through the door of Liang Shijie's mansion as a steward?

That little Xie is the nephew of Xie Duguan, who is Mrs. Cai's grandmother. was arrested by Liang Shanbo at the beginning, and finally returned to the Daimyo's Mansion alive, but he was frightened a lot, and his body had collapsed. Mrs. Cai is an old man, and seeing that Xie Duguan is useless, she deliberately cultivated his nephew.

Now Li Si is holding the door sticker of the steward Xie, not to mention that the official offices in the Daimyo's mansion are all going back and forth, but they are also free to enter and exit. Even the officer guarding the gate would not test what was in his carriage. Taking this opportunity, Li Sida's military workshop in the Daimyo Mansion brought a lot of good things to Liangshan Bola, such as the fine iron and the iron iron.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, China's iron production was extremely high – relative to classical agrarian societies. Later generations of Western scholars estimated that the maximum value reached 50,000 tons, and the upper limit of the value estimated by the little devil was as high as 150,000 tons. This is almost double the 76,000 tonnes produced annually in Britain in 1788, at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution.

As an important place for the government to operate, the armor workshops of the Daimyo Mansion consume hundreds of thousands of iron materials every year. There are also refined iron, iron, or steel of the civil young eunuchs.

The corruption and deterioration of the entire political system have caused the quality of the new armor produced by the old Zhao family to decline vertically in recent years, especially in Tokyo and even more so in Beijing. What Li Si has in his hand is money, and money can be channeled, and he also has a close relationship with the little Xie steward, the official of the courtyard workshop, at first he also needed the Xiao Xie steward to take the bridge, and then he directly put the man aside, and directly explained that Li Si would take care of it, and they were just taking the money in one hand and delivering the goods in the other.

In the last half a year, Li Si transported back to Liangshanbo from the Daimyo Mansion no less than 10,000 catties of fine iron and iron, and also included a large number of sulfur, saltpeter and leather, animal skin glue, fish glue, etc., but the manufacture and imitation of bow and crossbow armor called Liangshanbo saved a lot of effort.

And Li Si even got a thorough understanding of the inside and outside of the Daimyo's mansion. Several times he deliberately entered and exited the city gate at night, so that he and the soldiers guarding the gate also formed a good friendship.

Now this famous mansion is in the eyes of Liangshanbo and the people, it is clear and transparent.

On the large map, the locations of Liangshanbo and the Daimyo Mansion are marked by two markers, one red and one blue. Mengzhou was also marked, but it formed an isosceles triangle with Liangshanbo and the Daimyo's Mansion. And there is also a ⊕-shaped symbol on the side of the Daimyo's mansion, marked with the word "Flying Tiger Valley". But it is a vital place outside the Daimyo's mansion.

In addition, there are two dangerous places in the east of the city, Huaishupo and Yujiatuan, one is inspected, and the other is barracked. But as long as the Liangshan army came quickly and caught the daimyo's mansion city off guard, these dangerous places would be all blind.

The distance from Mengzhou to Liangshanbo is similar to that of the Daimyo's Mansion, which is about one hundred and fifty miles. However, the distance between Liangshanbo and the Daimyo's Mansion is about 200 miles.

In other words, it took Lu Qian three days to 'walk' fifty miles.

But everyone present understood that this waste was extremely worthwhile. Now Liang Shijie, who is afraid of the famous mansion, thinks that Liang Shanbo is going to attack Zengtou City in the southwest of Lingzhou. Naturally, it is also under the jurisdiction of the Daimyo's Mansion, but Liang Shijie will not care about Lingzhou's life or death. The letter asking for help from Lingzhou must have been sent to the Daimyo's Mansion, but so what? Liang Shijie had no intention of sending troops and horses to the rescue.

Not only that, but now it is the end of the year, and the Spring Festival is approaching, and the Daimyo Mansion is lit up. The Beijing Daimyo Mansion is the first big county in Hebei, and it is a place to go. Traders from all walks of life gather here, and the clouds and fog gather. That year's festival was also a time when their business was booming, and they all came to take advantage of it. In the corners of the city, all the shops on the street will dress up their own prosperous and festive. Just like the generations to come.

At this time, there is no tourism, so the rich families will go to the lantern race, and on the third or fifth day after the year, the lanterns in the city will be lit up until the end of the fifteenth, which is a major event in the Daimyo's mansion.

In that rich family, this is not not about their faces, it is to spend a lot of money, and the people from other places who have heard of such superb craftsmanship are not far from three or two hundred miles to buy. There are more merchants, and every year they will sell exquisite lanterns to the city. The people of that generation also set up a lantern shed in front of their house, and they had to hang the lamp and act like fireworks. Inside, a mountain shed is tied, five-color screens and cannon lamps are placed, and pictures of celebrities and strange antique objects are hung on all sides. It can be said to be a carnival festival, in the streets and alleys of the city, every house has to be lit up. Even the same is true of the Daimyo Mansion Left-behind Division.

It can be said that the current Daimyo Mansion is the end of the drum music and the daily sheng songs. In the temple hall of the Buddha hall in various palaces and temples in the city, each has a kitschat to wait for the Spring Festival. Three tiles and two rounds, not to mention.

Li Si found out the news and sent it to the newspaper, and everyone was overjoyed when they learned about it.

Now it's ready to be sent.

Lu Qian's eyes swept over the faces of everyone under the tent, and finally stopped on the face of the flea on the drum. The latter immediately puffed up his chest and stood up.

"The Daimyo Mansion is the best place in Hebei, and its gains and losses depend on the words of the imperial court, which is very important. If our army wants to take a big name, first of all, it must not be a long-term nostalgia outside the city. Otherwise, when the army of the imperial court gathers from all directions, and the other army goes deep alone, no matter how elite it is, it will be difficult to destroy. ”

"And even so, if our army wants to break the name, it can only sneak attack. Fortunately, the Daimyo's Mansion is still full of fanfare, and I want to take this opportunity to ambush people in the city first, and then drive troops into the city. ”

"The most important thing in this is to set fire to the city. Brother Shiqian, would you like to go? ”

This matter should have been moved at that time, and he and his subordinates did just that.

Shi Qian hugged his fists and said: "Brother rest assured." The younger brother went to Beijing when he was young. There is a building in the city, called Cuiyun Tower, upstairs and downstairs there are one hundred and ten pavilions. Seeing that the New Year is coming, each other will inevitably be noisy. The younger brother set a fire on the Cuiyun Tower, which can make the government in the city panic to deal with it, and then the elder brother will adjust his own people and horses to make peace, and the Daimyo's mansion will be broken. ”

Lu Qian stroked his beard and laughed: "My heart is like this. You go first. Only on the third night, a fire broke out upstairs at the first watch, which was the credit of your department. Shi Qian agreed, and obeyed the order. However, Lu Qian had to travel in a hurry day and night, arriving outside the Daimyo's mansion in two days and three days, and taking the city in the third night.

His confidence is not really 'clever calculation', but also in the countless official and military robes in the hands of the Liangshan army, as long as he gives an order, the more than 10,000 main forces of Liangshan here can instantly become more like the official army than the forbidden army in Tokyo.

Then Lu Qian transferred Wen Zhongrong and Cui Wei again, pretending to be hunters, and went to the city of the Daimyo's Mansion to sell game. Then a hundred henchmen followed, and the 351 gang went into the city, and agreed to watch the fire as a signal for three days and nights, and then they made a noise outside the south gate. The two obeyed the order and went.

Lu Qian then took Han Bolong and Bai Qin, led a hundred and ten people, pretending to be beggars who sold medicine with guns and sticks, or tricked snakes, and approached the city of the Daimyo's Mansion. Zhu Gui took the first step, hooked up with Li Si, and asked him to take care of him. Later, he pretended to be a guest of rice rice, joined his brothers, and pushed a car to the city to rest.

Fang Tianding, Fang Jie, Gao Yu and others were all dressed as businessmen, and it was not too late to enter the city that day.

And in the end, it was to ask that Li Tianyan to do a big thing.

"This is an official letter, sent to Lingzhou, Your Excellency will set off next, hurry to the Daimyo's mansion, and be sure to beg hard in front of Liang Shijie. Also given are the resumes of several chief officials of the Lingzhou Prefecture Bureau, which must be memorized. "Although Li Tianyan is from Jiangnan, he can speak authentic Tokyo dialect, and he has also worked as a helper in the errand officer, that is, a small fanzi idler. I am very familiar with the government's reply.

Li Tianyan is really a familiar hand, opened the prospectus bag, opened the resume and wrote it down, and then looked at the official document, the writing format, font handwriting, the words used in the text, and even the final seal, it is really seamless, it is the tone font that the government uses, and there is no flaw. I was curious.

Fang Tianding and the others were also surprised when they heard it, only Liang Shanbo and the others laughed. Lu Qian told Li Tianyan to put away the official documents and said, "There are strange people in Jeju who are strangers. There is a talent in the city of Nafu, surnamed Xiao Mingrang, because he can write all kinds of fonts, everyone calls him a holy hand scholar. Another one is also a must in the Central Plains, see living in Jeju City, his surname is Kim, and his double name is Dajian. If the stone inscription is well opened, and the jade imprint of the book is good, it will also be beaten with guns and sticks. Because he carved jade well, people called him a jade armsmith. ”

"I have these two geniuses as friends in Liangshanbo, where can the official documents not be imitated? That Lingzhou is not far from my Liangshanbo, and the official documents there have already been prepared in the cottage, so I will invite those two wizards to come. You can get it. ”

There is a scene on "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" where Zhuge Liang is angry with Zhou Gongjin.

After Zhou Yu defeated Cao Cao in the Battle of Chibi, when he took advantage of the victory to capture the southern county of Jingzhou, Zhuge Liang made Zhao Zilong take advantage of the weakness when Sun Cao's soldiers and horses were fighting, took the southern county first, and took Chen Jiao, who stayed in the city. And since he got Nanjun, he then used the military talisman to rescue the Jingzhou defenders in the starry night, but taught Zhang Fei to attack Jingzhou. Next, Xiahoudun was in Xiangyang, and Zhuge Liang sent someone to give him a talisman, falsely claiming that Cao Ren was asking for help, luring him to lead troops out, but he taught Guan Yu to attack Xiangyang. So many cities are effortless, and they all belong to Liu Da'er.

And what about Sun Wujun, led by Zhou Yu? There is no division between several counties and cities, who is busy with a hard work! Zhou Gongjin himself also screamed angrily, and the golden sores burst out.

When Lu Qian attacked Jiaodong in the future, he couldn't help but use this strategy. Even if it can't be as 'clever as Zhuge Liang', at least it can disrupt the enemy's hearing and make them overwhelmed, right? Just like the official document now, Liang Shijie in the Daimyo's Mansion read it, how could he still worry about the Liang Shan Army disturbing the Daimyo's Mansion City? He was leading the troops with Lu Qian. Only the person who submitted the book was bold and careful, and there was nothing wrong with it. And Li Tianyan was at that time.

So that night, when everything was on fire in the middle of the city, they all broke out, and first cut down the soldiers of the gatekeeper, and took the east gate, so that they could make a way. At that time, the army will enter the city, and the sparse soldiers of the Daimyo Mansion will have tens of thousands of people, how can they stop the elite soldiers of Liangshan?

Fang Tianding and the others were all impressed when they heard it.

Previously, Lu Qian divided his troops into three ways and shook the officers and soldiers, and he was already ingenious and familiar with strategy. And now it is even earlier to take precautions and prepare such a delicate strategy, it is no wonder that in less than two years, Liang Shanbo has already sat on the big Ruosi.
