Let's talk about Puzhou. Since Guan Sheng went south to Qinghe and was defeated, Liu Zhen no longer dared to ask the soldiers and horses to take a step beyond the 'Lei Chi'. And Yanggu only stop at the county seat. Then down is Fan County, to the southwest fold seventy or eighty miles is Puzhou, and Puzhou folds to the southeast to sixty or seventy miles is Lei Ze, which is located in the south direction of Fan County. To the east is Jeju Fortress, which is the southernmost point of Yangsanbo.

The territory of Puzhou is narrow, except for the capital city, only the three counties of Leize, Fan County and Linpu in the west. In this way, Fan County and Leize on the eastern front, plus Yanggu County in Jeju Prefecture, became the main garrison of Liu Zhen's troops, and Puzhou Fuzhi was the supply place for the three garrisons.

At present, among the other army, the money and grain officials are appointed by Pan Yuan and Liu Guangshi. Guan Sheng led troops to garrison Yanggu, Wang Shixuan, who had not recovered from his injuries, and Xuanzan, who was also injured, led his troops to Leize.

And Xiao Li Guanghuarong is about to say goodbye and return to Qingzhou. The latter has superb marksmanship, and he is a praising and an opponent when he sees it, and he is humble and polite, with a good character and skills. Not only did he get along with Guan Sheng and a few others, but Liu Zhen and Liu Guangshi saw them and loved them deeply. Especially the latter, when he hit the knot, he tried his best to win over Hua Rong.

Xiao Li Guangyuan is not as arrogant as Guan Sheng, and he knows that Murong Yanda, the prefect of Qingzhou, is a person, and he only pushes it to Murong Yanda. After the latter received the news from Liu Guangshi's envoy, he immediately sternly refused. Qingzhou and Liangshanbo are only separated by a dilapidated Dongping Mansion, and the last time it was attacked by thieves, Murong Yanda felt palpitations every time he thought about it. is worried that there are not enough good generals in his hands, where will Xiao Li Guang be given to Liu Guangshi? The front foot refused, and the back hand sent an official document, showing Huarong as the Qingzhou regiment training envoy, asking him to return to Qingzhou as soon as possible.

Hua Rong went to say goodbye to Liu Zhen after receiving the official document, but Liu Zhen was reluctant to give up, and there was no reason to force people to stay. Xiao Li Guang left Puzhou City, so he looked for the direction and went all the way east, not taking 'Liangshanbo' to heart at all, but going to Yuncheng to take the opportunity to visit Song Jiang. I was in a hurry last time, and I didn't have time to visit, but now I am much more calm.

The patrol soldier who bumped into Liang Shanbo, the henchman behind him casually stabbed forward and threw a token away, that is, the road was unblocked. Naturally, Hua Rong also saw many shacks and thatched huts near the porridge field outside Shuibo, which were full of people, and he was afraid that there were as many as 10,000 people as much as he saw. For Liangshan Boen has raised so many people for such a long time, Hua Rong is a five-body cast, happy and convinced. It's a pity that he has a military position, and Liang Shanbo is unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness, and they are also anti-thieves and ......grass cowards, not to mention this.

So quickly marched to Yuncheng County, and inquired that Song Jiang had taken up a new position, and as a public sword and pen officer, he led the townships and towns in the west of Yuncheng City to protect Ding Minyong, Hua Rong did not go to the county seat, and went straight to the garrison to ask for a meeting. This station is a landlord's manor, the owner's family fled, and was requisitioned by Yuncheng County to become a public, how dare the left-behind people resist?

And although it is a public house, inside and outside, there are many old people in Songjiazhuang. Seeing Hua Rong coming, knowing his relationship with Song Heizi, he didn't need to go through the officialdom ceremony, so he went into the inner hall to meet him. Hua Rong unloaded his bags outside the hall, and when he entered the house, he bowed to Song Jiang. Song Jiang hurriedly picked up the person, looked at his face for a while, and said with a smile: "Brother Xian came and went in the sword and gun battle array, but he was happy to be in good health. I once heard that in the Battle of Fan County, Zhang Dujian and two deputy generals of Dongchang Mansion, as well as the second son of Zhang Taishou, were all taken captive by the Liangshan Bo Qiangren, and they thought about the safety of their virtuous brothers day and night. "One wall of the room talks, and the other wall tells the kitchen to prepare wine and rice.

The wine and rice were set up in the inner hall, and Song Jiang invited Lei Heng to sit on the ground together. At the banquet, Hua Rong recounted the battle of Fan County one by one, and then told some of the things he heard, which made Song Jiang and Lei Heng feel that Liangshan's troops were getting stronger and stronger. In this way, Hua Rong said that he saw many people on the edge of the water, and he was very angry. With such a common people relying on a bandit to pay homage and spread out, wouldn't the court make the people of the world laugh and lose its prestige?

Speaking of this, Song Jiang was also depressed. Lei Heng said Shi Wenbin's words one by one, and Hua Rong and Song Jiang exchanged letters before, and also mentioned this matter slightly, but now it is not in words, and the words in person are more transparent. When Xiao Li Guang heard this, he immediately sighed: "Zhu Zi of the Manchu Dynasty no one cares about the safety of hundreds of thousands of people, but he is a thief and grass coward, but he pays attention to it. A large amount of money and food is splashed like dung, which is really impressive. This matter is not trivial, if it goes on like this, Liangshanbo will collect the hearts of the people of Qilu in the coming year. Song Jiang and Lei Heng had to shake their heads.

The next day it was a fine day, with a break from the wind and snow.

Song Jiang led people to bid farewell to Hua Rong and returned. Sent it straight out ten miles away, Hei Saburo had to send it again, but was stopped by Hua Rong. It just so happened that there was a grass pavilion not far away, and Shi Yong was already a powerful person in front of Song Jiang. This man went and cleaned clean, and there was no dross.

Everyone said goodbye here, Lei Heng lifted the pot, Shi Yong held the cup, the wine was full, Song Jiang took it and put the pot with Hua Rong. "Brother Xian, we have been friends for many years, although we get together less and leave more, we take care of each other. Today's parting, I don't know if I can drink as happily as I did back then? You see, now, since the rise of Daliang Shanbo, the state capitals are not as stable as before. Although Lu Yuhou is benevolent and righteous, but bandits are bandits, and the population of the soldiers is gradually scattered. This goes to Qingzhou, although the three mountains have been eliminated, but the old side of the problem goes, and the new problem has been born. Thinking about the local situation, I am afraid that it is not as peaceful as before, but the virtuous brother should be careful. Hei Saburo is also a smart person, and he can hear Hua Rong's admiration for Liang Shanbo, so he doesn't mention Lu Qian's bad words, and now he is just using the difference between officials and bandits to pierce a thorn.

As for the current Qingzhou, Song Sanlang has never been to Qingzhou, but there are Confucian brothers, and Qingzhou has no secrets for him.

Since the Liangshanbo swept Qingzhou, although the Yidu City has not been opened, the dignity of the government has also been swept away. This is a spark, which makes the contradictions in Qingzhou Mansion that were suppressed by the majesty of the government burst out violently. And the prefect Murong Yanda crossed the river and demolished the bridge, unloading the mill and killing the donkey, which was chilling. In this way, the thieves are reborn, and no one contributes to the government. It is because Qingzhou is not as calm as it used to be.

Hua Rong listened to the touching matter. "Bandits, bandits—"

At the same time, Yangsan Bori.

Thousands of soldiers and horses lined up on the colonel's field, and dozens of flags were seen from afar, fluttering in the wind. When they came to the nearest place, the school field was cleaned, five or seven thousand military horses, with bright armor, and a pedestrian avenue appeared in the middle of the two formations. The crowd gathered several heroes and passed by. On the parade platform, someone took the five-color flag to give the order, and when the people passed by, the red flag was unfurled, and the people and horses changed into a square formation and were placed in the center of the school. In the shadow of the flag gate, the golden drums sounded in unison, and I saw Lu Qian's whole body draped, leading a group of heroes to approach. Thousands of military horses in the school yard quietly lined up in formation, and there was no sound. But when I saw the phalanx lined up, the uniforms were distinct, as if there were neat piles of brocade on the ground. On the top of the brocade, the clouds fluttered brilliantly and the flags fluttered in the wind.

Today, the Liangshan army sent three roads, all the way to the east to fight Qingzhou, all the way to the south to attack Xuzhou, and then all the way to the north to break Mengzhou.

It is the so-called way of using troops, showing it to be soft and welcoming it to be strong, showing it to be weak and multiplying it by being strong, responding to it with Zhang, and showing it to the east if it wants to be west. To put it bluntly, it is to attack the east and the west, and it is to take it by surprise and attack it unprepared.

The enemy's will is chaotic, and it is not safe, and the image of the kunxia is exchanged, and it is taken involuntarily.

Lu Qian's goal was the Daimyo Mansion in Beijing, but he showed that he wanted to attack Mengzhou and Gaotang in the north, Xuzhou in the south, and Qingzhou in the east. As for why he didn't move the nearest Dongchang Mansion? That's because Dongchang Mansion is next to Yingtianfu to the west, which is easy to trigger an overly violent reaction from Tokyo City. And Dongchang Mansion is not prosperous, and Puzhou is in general, only the government of Shanzhou, plus Chengwu, Yutai and Dangshan three counties. What about swallowing it all?

The main generals of the northern, eastern, and southern roads of Liangshanbo are Lin Chong, Yang Zhi, and Xu Ning.

Its subordinates are Han Bolong, Deng Fei, Ma Lin, Li Zhong, Zhou Tong, Jiang Zhong and other generals. The first time Jiang Menshen went to battle was to follow Lin Chong back to fight Mengzhou, and then attack Gaotang.

That Mengzhou has changed its new officials and transferred to the new army station, but it is like a bird that has been shot by an arrow, and it can't stand the slightest fright.

Before the leopard head led his troops across the Yellow River, the man fled and ran to the Daimyo's mansion. By the time Lin Chong led people to the city of Mengzhou, there was no longer a single soldier to be seen there. The city gate was wide open, and several wealthy gentry who had left their lives behind led people to wait in front of the gate.

In this way, Liangshan Bo took Mengzhou bloodlessly. And the two generals Yang Zhi and Xu Ning, who went east and south, are not at the end at the moment.

That little Li Guang entered the boundary of Qingzhou, and as expected, gradually went east, and the population became withered. Several times on the road, he also encountered a small group of bandits, or Hua Rong killed and retreated, or Hua Rong said his name, and the bandits dispersed. In order to avoid entanglement on the road, Hua Rong asked his entourage to hold out two flags and wave them in the air. One flag reads Qingzhou Regiment Training Envoy, and the other reads Xiao Li Guanghuarong. These newly-born bandits in Qingzhou are all natives of Qingzhou, and Xiao Li Guang's reputation is not easy for them to understand? Because of this, Hua Rong traveled all the way, but it was also peaceful. On this day, when he came to Yidu Land, Hua Rong was still eating and drinking in a town, and he received a letter from Murong Yanda Kuaima, asking him to hurry back to the capital city.

Hua Rong was no longer lazy, and urged the horse to rush back to Yidu. When I walked to a place about five or six miles outside the west gate of Yidu, I saw a group of people, about 100 people, lined up in a crooked and backward procession, advancing towards Yidu. The leader saw that it was the Huarong banner and bowed down to meet the horse. Singing his name in his mouth, but it was Tian Wu, the head of the horse army of Yidu County, who recruited a group of people in various villages and towns and sent them back to Fucheng as soon as possible.

When Hua Rong asked how there were so many bandits in Qingzhou recently, Tian Wu didn't dare to speak. If he doesn't speak, Hua Rong won't know. The weather was cold, the snow was covered, and the people had little food and clothing, and Murong Yanda only ordered the county magistrates to recruit brave militiamen, and there was never a single line of writing to help the victims and relieve the people.

The people are at the end of their rope, what else can they do except fall into the grass? It's just that at this time, Murong Yanda didn't ask the people to defend against thieves, how could he ask everyone to gather in the city?

Tian Wuzi looked at Hua Rong in astonishment, and replied: "The general doesn't know that recently, official documents have been sent from Jeju Mansion and Dongping Mansion one after another, but it was the Liangshan Bo thief Kou soldiers who dispatched. Sending troops in three ways, the leopard head led the troops to seize Mengzhou, and the soldiers pointed directly at Gaotang. The blue-faced beast led its troops eastward and had already entered Dongping Mansion. and the golden gunner, Xu Ning, also led a group of soldiers and horses to the south......"

Hua Rong was taken aback, he never thought that in such a season, this Liangshan Bo soldiers and horses could still be dispatched in large numbers. Then he thought of the scene he had seen by Shuibo, it was said that Liangshanbo had set up fifty porridge farms, and in each of those places thousands of people had gathered, and tens of thousands of people depended on it for their lives. Liang Shanbo has a rich family background, and such expenses are also difficult. It's no wonder they're going to make a big move at this time.

It's just a moment, and Xiao Li Guang has already found a reason for Liang Shanbo in his heart.
