The straight-line distance from Taiyuan to Lanzhou is not far, but a song of Fenshui nine curves and eighteen bends, it takes a lot of effort, and the Liangshan army that marched west walked for five days before arriving at the city of Lanzhou. Hao Siwen's face was full of smiles, and he took Lanzhou bloodlessly, opened up the road to Fuzhou, and went smoothly. It came from nothing, so that he was unexpected.

Jiang Kuai, the governor of Lanzhou, led hundreds of civil and military officials to welcome them out of the city in person and ask for surrender in public. The Liangshan army successfully entered the city.

Because Jiang Kuai's reputation is good, and Liang Shanjun's reputation is also good, when he was invited to surrender and enter the city, the people in the city came out to watch, and the scene was a little lively and cheerful.

Lu Qian's will also spread to the front of the army, and Jiang Kuai temporarily acted as the agent of Lanzhou, and preached in public that he would be exempted from money and grain taxes for one year. It won the heartfelt cheers of the onlookers.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Kuai's father and son felt more and more that this city was right.

If they insist on being loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, I am afraid that not only their father and son will end up miserable, but also the people in this city will be miserable.

Last year has passed, then Xingzhou has already recovered as before, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the market will not take much time to blossom, but after three or five years, how many people will remember Li Boji, who is loyal and observant? And he, Jiang Kuai, is much inferior to Li Boji in martial arts!

Lanzhou surrendered, and the gateway to the military states in the east and west of the river was opened, not to mention Fuzhou and Linzhou, the Baode army, the Volcano Jun, and the Caulan army were all greatly shocked after getting the news of the surrender of Lanzhou.

In Fuzhou City, Zhe Keda directly dropped the cup and scolded Jiang Kuai for being a bastard.

This person is a brother who can ask for it, and his father is a famous general in the Western Army. It's just that although he is the brother of the fold and can be sought, he also served as the governor of Fuzhou in the early days, but his military strategy is obviously not as good as that of his younger brother, and he can save from his younger brother. The only outstanding credit is that when he saw the Western Xia barbarians invade Huanqing in his early years, he went out from Hedong to rescue, seized Jialuchuan (southwest of Baode), killed more than 400 enemies, recruited more than 1,000 households, and obtained tens of thousands of horses and livestock. He was promoted to the prefect of the prefecture because of his merits.

It is true that this family is a family of generals, but not all the children of every generation are famous generals. It can only be said that their family is vast and has many children, so they will breed from generation to generation!

If there is no fold to seek, fold to save and fold the quality, fold can be the leader of the fold family, but now more outstanding children have emerged, and the old wave should avoid one end.

However, now that the quality of the fold is outside, the fold can be sought, fold can be saved, the two are farther away, and among the rest of the fold family, the tallest one is among the short, and naturally the older and more or less experienced in the military is the one who is bigger.

However, Xiu Dao can scold Jiang Kuai a lot, even the children of the Fold family in Fuzhou collectively scolded Jiang Kuai, and they can't lose a single hair. Even Jiang Kuai's life will get better and better, because this person has a certain ability and integrity, and he is very interesting, Lu Qian thinks that he can be a role model.

It can be said that as long as this Jiang Kuai can make contributions in future matters, he is destined to have a place in the head of the western Jin Province in the future. The governor can't have extravagant hopes, and there is always one suitable for him.

Compared with the uneasiness elsewhere, at this moment, the Liangshan military camp under Taiyuan City is full of joy.

"King, as soon as Lanzhou falls, the gateway to the military states in the border areas is opened, and Nafu Prefecture still has a broken family as a pillar, but what is there to rely on in Linzhou, Baode Army, Volcano Army and other places? In the opinion of the ministers, there will be a table of surrender in the daytime. Ma Zhi stayed in Zhuozhou, and Huang Qianshan was still with Lu Qian. At this time, I will pick up good things and say it.

Xu Guanzhong didn't feel disdainful when he saw it next to him. He has been wasted among the people for so many years, and he has long understood a truth, there is good and evil in this world, and there is good and bad. The official is not talented or not, but more about whether the superior is willing to use you.

After experiencing Zhao Ji, the artist emperor, and the ups and downs of Cai Jing's gang of traitors, anyone who thinks that if he has talent, he should be valued and reused by the superiors, he is stupid.

The only one in the tent who had a disdain for Huang Qianshan at this moment was none other than Lehe.

He has seen clearly that Huang Qianshan is not the second Zong Ze, nor is he the second Wen Huanzhang, he is a mediocre talent, a flattering villain.

But it was evident that the flattering words spoken by the bird were very pleasing to the king's ears.

It's just that this is not the same ability? Does Lu Qian also need a 'villain' to make a adjustment? No matter how good it is, the Ming monarch is willing to listen to some pleasant words, isn't it? Li Shimin also pushed Wei Zheng's tombstone.

Although the Lan army is hesitating, depending on the situation, it is inevitable that they will surrender. It's the same in places like the Baode Army. The tree is falling and scattered, and today's situation is the general trend of me. There are only Linzhou and Fuzhou, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to surrender. "Xu Guanzhong has served in the military and has had a lot of contacts with the Espionage Department recently. But even so, Lu Qian couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard it.

At this moment, under the city of Linzhou, Zhizhou Tao Rang was standing at the east gate, looking at the army slowly opening on the opposite side. His face was blue and white.

Tao Rang, Chongning Jinshi and first, Sichuan Chengdu personnel. The figure is not tall, but the face is majestic, the momentum is extraordinary, and it does not look like a literati doctor and the like. This person served in the northwest in his early years, and later transferred to Linzhou, went through the border soldiers, and was resolute, different from Jiang Kuai.

Wearing a purple official robe, he is in his early forties. His face was as cold as steel, and he had a tuft of three-inch short beards, which were blown by the wind. There was a group of civil and military attachés around him, and at this moment, all of them opened their eyes wide, looking at the army that arrived outside the city.

At this time, the state city of Linzhou has been shrouded in a group of slaughtering atmosphere, outside the state city, tens of thousands of Liangshan troops were erected, and then a large number of people recruited from Lanzhou were digging and digging ditches.

These people are happy. Because they enjoy extraordinary treatment. Not only are there enough food in the army, but there is also money and food to be given. Or the terms of tax reduction and exemption next year, which is a real benefit.

The former is not mentioned, but the latter is also to reduce the expenditure of money and food. Although there are very few who are willing to choose the latter. But it's not for nothing!

The Liangshan army that marched west naturally arranged 10,000 people, led by Liu Tang, and Hao Siwen was his deputy general. At this time, Liu Tang was urging the people and sergeants to build the camp, and the front army was Jing Muqian.

Hao Siwen was dressed in a splendid battle robe, taking advantage of the rotten bronze mountain armor, holding a steel spear, with a sharp blade, reflecting cold light in the sun. Although there are infantry behind him, the armor is bright, the swords and guns are like a forest, it seems to be silent, but it is like the sea, and looking at it makes people fearful.

A neatly arranged army, all kinds of flags are densely packed, fluttering in the wind.

There is a small array every five hundred, and several small arrays spell out a large array, and at a glance, there is a neat beauty.

Seeing the momentum of the Liangshan army, the officers and soldiers in the city all let out a heavy gasping sound.

In the big array, a big flag was erected, the flag was clear, the book was a big "Qi" word, and the flag fluttered with the wind, so that the people above the city tower could see it very clearly.

Liang Shanjun really called.

Soon after the news of Lanzhou's surrender came, Jiang Kuai sent people over to persuade him to surrender, but Zhizhou Tao Rang wavered, although he set up a banquet and treated him well, he was hesitant and refused to agree.

It's only been a few days since then, and the Liangshan Army's brigade has already been killed.

At the head of the city, Tao Rang and other civil and military officials in Linzhou were puzzled, shouldn't Fuzhou be the first place for the Liangshan army? Why didn't Fuzhou get beaten, and this hit them on the head?

"Xianggong, the fire burns the eyebrows, and it is imminent. It is to descend or to keep, and now it can be decided. Tao asked a military attache dressed as a military attache beside him to also stare at Liang Shanjun outside, and asked for a while.

"Hey, this official has been eaten by the official family for a long time, and he is going to descend to Liangshan at this time, and he is unhappy in his heart. However, the situation is pressing, and there is nothing to be done. Tao Rang said a little depressedly: "Today, if you save your life, you will lose all your bones, and you are ashamed to see people." I should go, go! ”

But Tao Rang had long expected that no one in the city was willing to fight to the death, and few people, including himself, were willing to die willingly. In this way, when the situation is 'stable', the situation in Linzhou can still be maintained. When life and death are clear, how to choose, if he doesn't want to be humiliated, there is only one way.

But Tao Rang still felt very ashamed.

This is Linzhou. Later that year, Jin Shi Jingjiao ceded the sixteen states of Yanyun to the Khitan. Linzhou is close to the Khitan occupation zone. In order to fight against the Khitan aristocracy, Yang Hongxin established himself as the assassin of Linzhou. Starting from Yang Hongxin, the eldest son Yang Chongxun and the eldest grandson Yang Guang are all the highest local governors in Linzhou.

At that time, Linzhou Yang's, Fuzhou Zhe's, and known as the world. In later generations, the old lady of the Yang family will have a real surname. And the famous Golden Sword Linggong Yang Ye is the second son of Yang Hongxin and the younger brother of Yang Chongxun.

The city and the prefecture are interdependent, and they have been fought many times in the past 200 years, but they have never been breached by the enemy. This encounter was surrendered without a fight in his own hands, and if Tao Rang was not ashamed at all, it would be too shameless.

Hao Siwen looked up at Linzhou City, this battle should really be fought by the blue-faced beast. Although the Yang family is not as good as the folded family, and they have always guarded the other place for more than a hundred years, they have also deeply imprinted their surnames into the city.

As far as the news from the Espionage Department is concerned, there are still many people in the branches and distant branches of the Yang family who have stayed in this place. With the existence of Yang Zhi, many people inside are willing to serve Liang Shanjun, but they are unwilling to cooperate with the outside.

It's a kind of perseverance.

Although this seems to outsiders, it is just a very unnecessary insistence. But if the Yang family can't keep this point, it doesn't matter if the ancestor is glorious.

The city of Linzhou is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and is located on the bank of the Guye River flowing in the southwest, and its military position is very important. Western Xia attacked from Xia Prefecture to the east, and this was the first place to bear the brunt. And strangled Linzhou, not only could resist Western Xia in the west and reject the Khitan in the east, but also sent troops from Linzhou to the rear of Western Xia when Western Xia invaded southward, forcing its troops to retreat.

Of course, this is still a little far away from Xingqing Mansion in Western Xia.

Since entering the Song Dynasty, there have been dozens of wars under the city of Linzhou. The Western Xia repeatedly sent large armies to besiege this place, and even after repeated setbacks, they were still unwilling to give up, so that they once stationed troops on both sides of the Kuye River, farming and grazing, forcing Linzhou to become an isolated city. That is, after Shenzong, the Western Xia and the Northern Song Dynasty fought fiercely for many years, and the national strength was weak, so Linzhou was released.

The fighting between the two sides also became mainly around the Yokoyama mountain range.

It was at this time that in the Liangshan army formation under the city, there was already a horse galloping. A red flag is planted on the back. The soldiers in the city were not allowed to give orders, and naturally no one fired their bows and arrows.

When the man reached the city, he cried out: "Listen to the city, my great king rebelled against the army, and he was commanded by heaven to do it for Allah's sake." You will open the city and surrender as soon as possible, and you will have your own preferential treatment. Those who are virtuous and talented will be reused. And if you resist the king, you will die and the clan will be wiped out, and it will be too late to regret it. ”

The successive victories made the morale of the Liangshan army boil, and there were rewards for every big victory, and there were also letters from the post office to transfer family details, so that the soldiers were high-spirited. It is not because of the successive battles that war-weariness is born, and the fighting spirit is low. At this moment, shouting, the human spirit, the horse is shaking, the voice is loud, full of confidence, and the words carry a strong and incomparable confidence!
