Chapter 214: Are Officials Justified?
It is not a pity for the thieves of Qingfeng Mountain to kill. But how to kill to get the most benefit? It's another story.
Moreover, Lu Qian also wanted to take advantage of the Qingfeng Mountain incident to officially announce to the colleagues in the rivers and lakes and green forests all over the world: I Liangshanbo and you are not really all the way.
He'd wanted to do it for a long time. But there is no suitable opportunity, and now it is just right.
This cottage green forest only robs money and food, which is acceptable to Lu Qian. Even during this period, he was able to endure the death of some people. Just like Peach Blossom Mountain, from time to time go down the mountain to grab grain, from time to time to rob passers-by, but seeking wealth does not kill people, rarely hurts people's lives, and it is not that one person does not kill, so it is easy to say.
But if you burn, kill and loot red fruits like Qingfeng Mountain, and don't treat people as human beings, you will be guilty of crimes. Then, Liang Shanbo will disagree.
The order was given to Deng Fei to eliminate the evil, the latter's horse's hooves rolled, and Zheng Tianshou, the white-faced man who stayed in the fortress, was also captured.
After finding out that Qingfeng Mountain was empty, Deng Fei left 300 people to follow the fleet, and led 200 people to Qingfeng Mountain, but the owner of the big village, Jinmao Hu Yanshun, was an alert person, and the soles of his feet were oiled, and he slipped away first, and he was never captured.
Lu Qian didn't care after hearing the report, he asked Deng Fei to lead the troops, escorted Wang Xiaohu and Zheng Tianshou, and sent thirty or forty minions to Qingfeng Village with the old days of Qingfeng Mountain. I have to go to a public trial to decide the life and death of such people. I think there will be a benefit to the account.
However, after enjoying a batch of grain, grass, fish and meat that was offered by Kongjiazhuang with trepidation, the army continued to march towards the capital of Qingzhou.
Kong Ming and Kong Liang brothers, standing by the Jishui River and watching the back of Liangshanbo's army in the distance, breathed a sigh of relief in each other's hearts. The two of them couldn't help but be grateful to Song Saburo in their hearts. When someone asked them to come forward, he took the initiative to report Song Jiang's name, and Lu Qian also sold them this face. The two brothers just lost a sum of money and food, so they would not be grateful to Lu Qian for his affection, but only thanked Song Jiang in their hearts.
But I don't know that Hei Saburo's current relationship with Liang Shanbo is embarrassing.
But when he was sleeping, Lu Qian forgot how the brothers of the Kong family fell into the grass. He only remembered that these two brothers had ordinary skills, and they all relied on worshipping Hei Saburo as a master to gain a firm foothold in Liangshanbo. But they completely forgot that the reason why the brothers occupied Baihu Mountain and fell into the grass was only because the brothers had a dispute with a rich man in their hometown, and they actually killed all the rich people.
In this way, these two guys are not good people. is dizzy, and can do a bloody case that kills all the good and cheap people, and you can also take a peek at the leopard and know what kind of birdman these brothers are.
The sky is high and the fields are wide. Liangshan Park 500 military horses, dozens of flags to come, no dust galloping. Deng Fei accompanied the army with the people who tested the merit department and showed a big show in Qingfeng Village, although Lu Qianren did not come forward, the image of Liang Shanbo in Qingzhou suddenly brightened up. In the past, the people of Qingzhou only heard that Liangshan Bo acted for the heavens and eliminated violence, but today they have seen it with their own eyes. As a result, Liangshanbo's reputation among the people is also getting better day by day
Although Li Zhong and Zhou Tong, who were called Taohuashan, were startled when they heard this, they still went to Liangshan with their gang at Qin Ming's insistence. In fact, there is no stupid person among the three, so there is only one left in the three mountains of Qingzhou now, don't you take the opportunity to defect to Liangshanbo Dazhai, and wait for the Qingzhou government to settle the accounts in the future?
Peach Blossom Mountain is weak, and only one of them can't carry the entire Qingzhou government.
Lu Qian saw the three of them running over, and he laughed happily. Li Zhong and Zhou Tong are not careful, and Qin Ming can be greatly useful. Strong martial arts, as well as the experience of fighting and commanding troops, is exactly what Liang Shanbo urgently needs now.
"The two good men are worried. You are waiting for this Peach Blossom Mountain, but it is different from Qingfeng Mountain. Lu's ears have heard far away, and he has never heard of the heroes of Peach Blossom Mountain killing indiscriminately. "Peach Blossom Mountain is the most famous of the three mountains in Qingzhou, but if you get in the way, you are just asking for a way to buy money. It is not the people who don't know what to do and what is wrong, but also to protect their own rights and interests. Such an act is absolutely acceptable to Lu Qian. Otherwise, the four heroes of Huangmen Mountain, Deng Fei, Meng Kang, Yang Lin, and the original Du Qian, Song Wan and others would not need to be said. Just look at his own behavior, although he is "eliminating violence and peace", the township Yong Nursing Home that can be killed is not all guilty of evil, such as the original Tang family.
"Lu Ti is also an old acquaintance with the two heroes, and once told me about the Zhou Tong brothers' marriage. Although he is a little strong in Mrs. Liu's office, he has abundant financial resources and some of the congratulatory messages to welcome relatives, which are rules and regulations. Is this forced marriage also a marriage? Lu Qian's words made Xiaobawang so ashamed, his face turned red. It wasn't a glorious thing. But the affirmation in Lu Qian's words made him feel very stable in his heart.
"Such an act is more than ten times better than Qingfeng Mountain's lustful king and dwarf tiger?" That master, but for a snatched mother-in-law, a person who can show his sword with his brother. In later generations, there are celebrities who praise him for being really lustful, but they don't hide it, and they are reckless. But the realm of Wenling monks is really not something that ordinary people can achieve, Lu Qian just thinks that he is so good, for a woman, he does not hesitate to carry a knife and fight with his brother, the color is so heavy, and there is no need to say more. What's more, that guy still eats people.
This is by no means that he was unhappy with the king of people and dwarf tigers, nor was it that he was aggrieved by Hu Sanniang. is a young talent, if you want to marry, Liangshan Bo, you also need to marry the leopard head Fang envoy, but he promised Wang Xiaohu, he is really blind.
If so, in his eyes, the little overlord Zhou Tong is still a united brother, and Wang Xiaohu and the like, forget it.
Qingzhou Mansion is the city of Yidu, in the south of Qingzhou Prefecture, forty or fifty miles away from Jishui in the north. This city is not ordinary. In the official history, in the decades when the Song, Jin, and Mongolia intersected, the city had extraordinary significance. The Red Jacket Army, Yang Miaozhen, an invincible opponent with a pear flower gun that has been dominating the world for 20 years. It's hard to forget.
However, that era is still far away from the present, and today's Qingzhou City is high and deep, and the walls are strict. Although Murong Yanda has long lost his ancestors' ability to start a war, there are still Zhensanshan Huang An and Xiao Li Guanghuarong in the city. The two of them are the military attachés, which gave a lot of confidence to the Qingzhou Mansion.
Although Lu Qian didn't really break Yidu City's thoughts. Huang Xin and Hua Rong were not given for nothing.
Seeing that Liang Shanbo's army was coming, Huang Xin did not dare to slack off, and sent people out of the city day and night to inquire about the news. On this day, a large number of people from Liangshan attacked Qingzhou City from the Great Road. Huang Xin got some information. Greatly frightened, he immediately draped himself and ordered the gates of the city to be closed. and Xiao Li Guanghuarong ordered the military horses and went to the city to lookout. Sure enough, I saw the dust rolling, and hundreds of horse troops rushed into the sky like a flame. Dozens of large and small flags floated in the dust, and the black-pressed soldiers and horses in the distance covered and killed, covering half of the field in the western suburbs.
Seeing the ferocity, Huang Xin ordered the defending sergeants to prepare bows and arrows to fly stones, hang the suspension bridge high, and only take the defensive position. The cavalry from Liangshan, waving their banners, rushed all the way to the moat. Seeing that the soldiers and horses in the city were closed, they did not come to scold, but only went around the city for a week, and then set up camp five miles outside the western suburbs.
In a short time, the army of Liangshanbo had already arrived. Although there is no sailor battalion, there are more Taohuashan people and horses, and there are 3,000 people. At this time, it is the beginning of winter, the farmland has been harvested, and the plains are flat and endless. Huang Xin and Hua Rong looked out over the city, and Murong Yanda also climbed to the top of the city, only to see hundreds of camp tents, like countless white hills, neatly laid out on the ground.
Liangshanbo only set up a large camp, and the camp tents, each of the ten camp tents, planted a flag, and fluttered in the wind.
The sun was sinking in the western sky, and the afterglow was obliquely shining, and the Liangshan military camp with everyone wearing armor became more and more distinct.
Woo knock, the sound of drums. Huang Xin looked at it for a long time, and sighed to Murong Yanda: "The thief army is strong, how many weapons did Hu Yanzhuo lose in Liangshanbo?" "Is there any reason why a nest of thieves has far better weapons than the official army? Calling Huang Xinsheng is nothing to say.
And there was a fine work that turned back from the other gates. but they were hung down by cords from the city, and hung up into the city. When Huang Xin asked, he said: "In front of the big village, there are Luzi flags and Luzi flags. Huang Xinxin thought, sure enough, it was Lu Qian's thief chieftain, as well as Lu Zhishen, plus the master was here, Qingzhou was definitely not an opponent. If he stepped up the defense of the city, he asked the prefect Murong Yanda to repair the emergency document for the second time, and sent people to deliver it to the military horses of Deng and Lai.
However, it was the soldiers and horses of Nadengzhou who governed Ma Zheng, and when he received Cai You's handwritten letter, he didn't dare to disobey it, and when he heard that Qingzhou was asking for help, he should bring two thousand soldiers and horses to the rescue. And Dengzhou is moving, how can Laizhou not see movement? There was also Wang Yong, the commander of the soldiers and horses, who led 2,000 troops to follow Ma Zheng and went west to rescue.
It's a pity that the soldiers and horses of the two prefectures of Denglai are also decaying. They took a boat at the mouth of the sea and entered the river, and stopped at the county seat of Boxing, which was only less than forty miles away from the separation of the Liangshan infantry cavalry and the sailor battalion. The whole voyage can be said to be closer than the Liangshan army. But so far, this Denglai reinforcement army, which has not taken a step west from Boxing, is only on the way to Qingzhou City slowly.
After Ma Zheng received Murong Yanda's letter asking for help, he smiled at Wang Yong, and then put the letter behind him and ignored it. This is not that the two Ma Wang are arrogant, and they don't take Murong Yanda, the prefect, in their eyes, but they have self-knowledge in their hearts. Earlier, a spy report was sent to find out the news of Liangshan's troops.
The number of people is not much, but each with armor, how can the soldiers and horses of Denglai and the two states be comparable?
What kind of virtue is his own soldiers and horses, don't they have a point in their hearts?
Liang Shanbo is a real giant bandit, not the civil unrest they experienced in the past. It is said that although the Zhao and Song dynasties had abundant money and grain, and the commercial economy was also very developed, the peasants and the common people had a hard time. The Zhao and Song dynasties could not help but annex land, and the cultivation was not enough, so the masses rose up and became chaotic.
Since the first peasant uprising broke out in the third year of Zhao's reign as emperor, more than 230 peasant uprisings broke out in the entire 160-year reign of the Northern Song Dynasty. On average, once and a half a year. And now in this Water Margin version of the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty, the number of uprisings is more than the official history, which is called more than that.
It's just that most of them are small and medium-sized peasant uprisings, which have no brains and are difficult to form a climate.
This Ma Zheng and Wang Yong have lived for half their lives, so they naturally encountered peasant uprisings, and even the former was able to be the commander of the soldiers and horses in Dengzhou, because he led the troops to suppress the civil unrest.
It is precisely because they are familiar with the inside story that the two understand that Liang Shanbo is really terrible.
In the past, the peasant uprisings were large in the number of thousands and tens of thousands, while the small ones were only a few hundred and thousand. And most of them were peasants, who had no regular ordnance in their hands and no armor to cover themselves, so they swirled and perished. Even if they are weak and timid, the soldiers in the hands of these court generals are very bold and courageous. They had bows and crossbows and armor in their hands, and they were like a tiger entering the flock to deal with the peasant rebels.
But what about Liang Shanbo?
They don't know what the total strength is. But among the thousands of people dispatched, there were all the land and water cavalry, and there were 500 cavalry alone, and all of them were strong and strong, and everyone wore fine armor, so that all their troops were stuffed into it, and it was not enough for people to stuff their teeth.
Hugh looks at it is 4,000 people, Hugh looks at it is a forbidden army system, but as long as the swords and soldiers are connected, it is a rabble.
Who made them not have the heart to train soldiers and horses on weekdays?
More training in peacetime, less bloodshed in wartime. If you don't train in peacetime, you can only be beaten with knives when you start fighting. They are officials, but they are not heroes in the green forest, what kind of righteousness do they want to talk about, when the matter comes, they know that they can't do it, but they also have to be strong. Ma Zhengwang Yong is an official, who has ever heard of being an official with righteousness?
