Chapter 338: Self-immolation behind closed doors

There were corpses all over the ground, and there were countless wounded soldiers struggling next to the corpses, and the blood gathered together, like a stream of water, flowing into the wide water surface in Dengzhou Water City, staining the sea water red.

Corpses are everywhere, and wounded are everywhere.

Lu Qian rode through the corpses on the ground, and saw a Liangshan sergeant, holding a spear dripping with blood, picking up among the corpses. Behind him, a man in the Song Army's battle robe was holding his bleeding chest tightly with his hands, his eyes wide open and motionless. But he had already taken his last breath.

This was a wounded soldier with serious wounds, and it was in this way that his life was his true relief. The current Liangshan Army no longer needs to rely on treating the seriously wounded among the prisoners of war to win the favor of the prisoners. The Liangshan army had already passed that stage.

Sitting next to the man was a lightly wounded man, also Song Jun. It's just that there is a hint of fierceness in that face, it shouldn't be the Song army in the swordfish village, nor the Song army brought into the water village by Wang Shizhong, but it is more likely that Song Jiang just recruited the people in the green forest. It seems that he was shot in the thigh, and the injury is not serious. But at this moment, he sat on the ground in despair, and the iron helmet on his head had long since rolled down. There was a blade at hand, but one by one the soldiers of the Liangshan Army walked in front of him, but the man didn't move as if he was stupid, let alone resist.

Walking to a street corner, Lu Qian saw a few wounded soldiers of the Liangshan Army who were carried to one place. Several of the men looked calm, either half-leaning against the wall or just lying on the ground. When Lu Qian walked by, he raised his head to salute, his face may be pale, but his eyes are not a little sloppy.

Dengzhou Water City, the knife fish village, was taken down by him.

'No one' knew when the Liangshanbo thieves had infiltrated Song Jiang's team, and they had been arranged to guard the city gate. So, when the flames in the swordfish village broke out, there was also a violent chaos on the city wall, and the Liangshan army outside took the opportunity to storm it. The saury village was broken on the same day.

Song Jiang protected Wang Shizhong and the Chai family, together with a small number of deployments, and took four loach boats, and luckily broke out of the Shuizhai Gate. You have to know that they are one step earlier, otherwise they will not be able to get out. As soon as the warship that Wang Shi had just taken was pulling anchor and hoisting its sails, he saw several large sea ships emerging from the sea in front of him from a distance.

At this moment, I don't know which side of the ship will be on the sea. Although the ships on the opposite side were not warships, there were many of them, which made the king of the king's division anxiously urge Song Jiang to leave quickly.

As a result, the four loach boats, which were far from full, left the Daoyu Village like this, leaving seventy or eighty Qilu wealthy families on the shore who scolded Song Jiang and Wang Shizhong.

From the day when the Liangshan army took Huangxian, they began to transfer their family property to Daoyu Village. When the Liangshan army arrived outside Dengzhou City, they had already moved into the Daoyu Village. Just wait for the boat to flee to Hebei.

The 'salutation' of these characters is very simple. After all, fleeing is not moving, and the 'salutes' accompanying these families are only gold and silver, and there are no other valuables. Many precious large antique treasures have been dug and buried, anyway, these families are full of confidence in the old Zhao family. I thought that the court would always be able to fight back one day.

Can ...... now

The old Zhao family may be able to exterminate the Liangshan thieves one day, but they themselves don't seem to see that day.

Countless people howled and cried, countless people scolded, Wang Shizhong and Song Jiang made them miserable.

So there was a scene of wonder in the swordfish village. The soldiers of the former village were still killing, but there was a sound of painful cursing in the harbor near the sea.

Wang Shizhong, who was as timid as a mouse, was still trembling in the cabin, and Song Jiang stood in the stern, looking at the swordfish village where the fighting sound was still fierce, and he didn't know how to tell all kinds of feelings in his heart.

He is conceited and has always had great ambitions, and he thinks that he has the talent of Huang Fei and the weapon of Hu Lian, but why has he been repeatedly frustrated in front of Lu Qian? Is this Lu Qian his Demon Star Tribulation?

At this time, a few people on the four loach boats that were still not stable suddenly disappeared, and they would not attract attention at all. They all jumped into the sea, these were all Liang Shanjun's men, and the only purpose of getting on the boat was to spy on Song Jiang, and he was better than this bird trick. No one set off a signal flare, two kicks, which means that Song Jiang strictly abides by his agreement with Liang Shanbo. On the sea five or six miles away, three sea boats chose to 'pass by' these four loach boats.

Therefore, the knife fish village fell into the hands of Lu Qian like this. When the fighting in the village subsided, countless Liangshan troops came in and out, collecting the wounded, collecting prisoners, picking up weapons and armor, and so on.

And their big leader, Lu Qian, who had just entered the official office of Daoyu Village, was the owner of Lu Dazhai. At the moment, I am waiting with excitement for the final figures.

——So many Qilu giants who were pitted by Wang Shizhong and Song Jiang, or more precisely, by Song Jiang, will inevitably contribute a lot of money to him. And if you torture it well, you can still squeeze out a lot of oil and water.

Even if it is Dengzhou City, there is no such thing at this moment, which makes Lu Qian more concerned.

You must know that with the end of the Dengzhou War, Lu Qian will officially open the government and establish a domain, and lead himself as the governor of Ziqing.

You can't directly call yourself a 'knot', that would be too weak for Liang Shanbo's momentum. But it is not possible to claim the title of king, so it is almost impossible to open the road to negotiation. So, the Metropolitan Governor is a good title.

After the opening of the government, he will officially expand the army, 50,000 regular troops, 30,000 reserves, and 10,000 sailors. It's still a plan on paper, but just looking at the numbers, you can see that it requires a lot of money, and a lot of the expenses are cash.

Perhaps before the end of this great army, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court will return to kill violently. At that time, they had to let go of their hands and feet to fight with it, not to let Tokyo see Liang Shanbo's muscles, and not to let the old Zhao family know that the Western Army would not work, they would not give up.

In this case, the "Tian Dai Pay" is somewhat immovable. Liangshan Bo can't stabilize the momentum, and no matter how good the policy is, it will be the moon in the well, and the flowers in the fog will not be implemented. In the short term, military salaries can only be real gold, silver and copper coins.

Therefore, the current windfall is pinning too many expectations on Lu Qian.

"Big Boss." Jiang Jingxing rushed over, and after seeing the salute, he shouted repeatedly: "Six million guan, six million guan, only gold and silver are enough for six million guan." "And that's not even counting the jewelry. Dengzhou Sailor voted for it, and Liang Shanbo made a lot of money.

Lu Qian's face also burst out with irrepressible joy. Six million, a number that exceeded his expectations. Although he had known for a long time that the gentry who had fled into the water city were rich and noble, the statement that these people had brought with them was six million in gold and silver, which was still beyond his expectations.

Earlier, Lu Qian felt that if he could squeeze out three or four million yuan of cash at one time, he would still make a windfall. Who would have thought it would be six million! If you count all the jewelry, this amount of money is enough to reach tens of millions.

These giant chambers in the land of Qilu proved that Lu Qian underestimated them. In the case of real estate, acres of land, shops and many real estate cannot be taken away, they are still rich.

After that, Lu Qian didn't have to worry about it personally, Jiang Jing would do it. What do you want your subordinates to do? That's it.

After Lu Qian's 'expectations' were greatly satisfied, his eyes were already looking at Dengzhou. And Ma Zheng in Dengzhou City is also splashing a lot of money at this time to stabilize the morale of the army and improve morale. The blink of an eye in Dengzhou Shuicheng made him dizzy, not to mention the soldiers defending the city. If we don't throw a lot of bounty money away, how can we improve morale and stabilize the morale of the army?

Returning to the mansion, the more Ma Zheng thought about it, the more depressed he became, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt wrong. Shicai was only busy calming the army's heart, but now that he thought about it, he felt that Song Jiang's luck was too good.

It's just that Ma Zheng vaguely felt that Song Jiang was wrong, but he didn't have any real evidence, and everything was only determined by will.

And if he could have clairvoyance and be able to see clearly that on the four loach boats, none of Song Jiang's henchmen were broken, Ma Zheng would definitely be angry, straight through the top door, and his neck would be red.

But after a while, all the conjectures in his heart dissipated. "I'm also very childish. This Dengzhou City is already in danger, and I still have nothing to do with this villain. Then he instructed the guards: "And send people to sound gongs everywhere to warn the people." I, Ma Zheng, decided to live and die with this Dengzhou city. If there is one of the people in the domain who is afraid of death, I will not keep him, but stay at home in peace. Those who are not afraid of death, but remain in the city, and they will take up swords and spears with me to guard the city. I want my fathers to see me, but I'm not the ordinary person in the king's teacher. ”

Now that the military and civilians of Dengzhou are panicking, Ma Zheng has made such an attitude that should be able to reassure the people.

However, he didn't know that under the general trend, those who go along with it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish.

That night, Lu Qian sent someone to launch a surprise attack. Led by Yuan Lang, he led hundreds of troops to bluff outside the West Gate, and then called Lu Junyi, Lu Zhishen, and Wu Song, leading the five hundred armor soldiers who guarded the left battalion, carrying shields and wooden ladders to rush across the moat, and then storming the south gate of Dengzhou.

Prior to this, the moats outside the south gate, north gate and west gate had been put down by the Liang Shanjun one after another. It was covered with silt in case of rockets.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Lu Junyi and the three of them led the troops in place, the west gate of Dengzhou had already been taken. The defender there saw the Liangshan army attacking, and made a move that surprised Lu Qian, and he surrendered.

So Dengzhou City was taken down like this.

Of course, now the Yamen under the jurisdiction of the soldiers and horses of Nadeng Prefecture has not been taken. But Lu Qian was not ready to fight. Du Chong is dead, and the road transfer has long disappeared without a trace, and it is good to be able to catch Ma Zheng.

But this battle of Dengzhou is a fast word, Lu Qian has not yet entered the city, and there is news from inside that Ma Zheng has set himself on fire behind closed doors. Even if his precious son's handwritten letter has been handed into the mansion, this is not Xiao Rang's imitation, but Ma Kuo's own handwriting while recuperating from his injuries.

Lu Qian was full of confidence, thinking that as soon as Ma Kuo's handwriting came out, he would definitely be able to make Ma Zheng obediently restrain his hands. Which Cheng thought of ......

That face was very unsightly. "The Song family really has loyalty." Lu Qian didn't sigh with emotion.

looked at the old slave of the Ma family who knelt down in front of him, and waved his hand: "Send him to Dongping, so that he can serve Ma Kuo." The latter has a special identity, he was rescued on the battlefield and sent to him for treatment, and the half of the jade was found from him, but it was a perfect fit with the half of Huang Xin's hand. So, "Who is Huang Xin's benefactor?" And it came to light.

Lu Qian originally wanted to rely on Ma Kuo to subdue Ma Zheng, at least let him be arrested. I never thought that this Ma Zheng would choose to self-immolate, it was really stupid, and it really gave Lu Qian a headache.

Don't think about it anymore. Although he didn't have much regrets. He didn't know who Ma Kuo was in his head. I don't know what role Ma Kuo, who was not old at this time, played in the Three Kingdoms of Song, Liao, and Jin in the official history.
