A hundred years ago, the villages in the north and south of the river, dating back hundreds of years, were all walled around the city wall; If it is a market town, the wall is more and more strong. But after Zhao Song established the country, such a state was gone and never returned. Unless it is as strong as Dulonggang Sanzhuang, it is impossible to see the village level surrounded by a wall.

Liangshanbo rode the elite down the mountain with more than 10,000 steps, like a long dragon with teeth and claws out of the water, and after landing in Qinghe County, he drove straight into the Fan County magistrate. On the way, it passed through Guanshan Town, which was a large town in Fan County, and the town that Lu Qian was pointing to on the horse, and the army turned to be stationed in it. Since he had decided to send troops to Fan County to fight with the official army, how could Lu Qian not know something about Fan County? This Guanshan town is the largest town in the eastern part of Fan County.

The gentry and wealthy households of Guanshan Town respectfully welcomed the entry of the Liangshanbo army, and dozens of native soldiers in the town were brave, lost their swords, took off their clothes, and everyone ran back to their homes.

Although Guanshan Town is large, it is not enough for more than 10,000 Liangshan foot riders to be stationed in it, and it is already dusk. Lu Qian led a group of men and horses into the town, and most of them set up camp outside the town. That night, only many lights were called in Guanshan Town. At about the time of the first shift, Lu Qian led five hundred cavalry to quietly sneak out of the garrison outside the town. Bypassing a mound in the east corner, it is about two miles away from Guanshan Town, avoiding the main road, and then letting go of the horse's hooves and advancing in the snow in the direction of the northwest county seat.

In the county seat of Fanxian County, He Guan already knew the news that Liangshanbo people had descended the mountain, and he knew that they had entered Guanshan Town. As a veteran with rich combat experience, He Guan was very puzzled.

I've never seen such a war, Lu Qian has no reason to do this?

It is said that He Guan has studied Lu Qian very seriously these days, although this son is only a small Yu Hou of the Marshal Mansion, but the ability of this battle array is like a godsend. The most certain thing is that this son is proficient in military training, but he will not be false.

Although Liangshanbo has just risen for less than two years, He Guan has read the surrounding state capital letters, and "Liangshanbo Bingrui" is a common saying. Such a talent made He Guan sigh when he thought about it. Such a talent was buried in the palace marshal's mansion as a small waiter.

It can be said that He Guan still looks up to Lu Qian after studying his 'life'. It was only because of Lu Qian's sudden fainting move that he was puzzled.

Lu Qian is not a stupid person, why is he suddenly unwise?

But Liang Shanbo's behavior was seen by many wealthy gentry in Fan County, and even by the magistrate of Fan County, in the eyes of the previous Qinghe gentry and wealthy households, it was his complacency and arrogance.

"Why should the captain be worried? Don't you hear that the former Tang Taizong said: If the sky wants it to die, it will make it crazy; The way of heroes, first madness and then death; The heart of a mortal is dying first and then mad. Cheng Wanli, the new governor of Jeju, said beside him.

Yes, this former governor of Dongpyeong Province has now become the governor of Jeju. Although he has had, but Dongping Mansion has not been broken in the first place, even if a soldier and horse are killed, what if he is imprisoned? Is it true that the loyal martyrs of a country can fight? Second, Cheng Wanli is Tong Guan's subordinate in the end, although the latter is in the northwest, he is so powerful that even Cai Jing does not dare to provoke easily.

Five years ago, he was promoted to the post of Tai Lieutenant as the Xuanfu envoy of Shaanxi, Hedong and Hebei. Soon, for the opening of the palace with the three divisions, signed the Privy Council Hexi and North two rooms. At the beginning of last year, he had been appointed to the Privy Council. He commanded nine towns such as Wuxin, Wuning, Huguo, Hedong, Shannan Dongdao, and Jiannan Dongchuan, and was the Taifu and Jingguo Gong. At that time, people called Cai Jing the prime minister, and Tong Guan was the prime minister.

Like when Di Wuxiang served as a privy envoy for four years, the Manchu Dynasty officials repeatedly attacked him, saying that his family "has horns and a few strange lights", so that a generation of famous generals were frightened all day long, even if they were protected by Emperor Renzong, and finally died of depression. But now that a eunuch is a privy envoy, have you ever seen a scholar and a doctor dare to be sarcastic?

The greatest irony of this is that the literati of the late Northern Song Dynasty are the scholars of the current period.

After He Guan listened, he was silent. Cheng Wanli is reasonable, could it be that Lu Qian is really arrogant, and he doesn't know how thick the sky is?

It was the full moon, and the full moon hung in the sky like a jade disk, and the snow reflected the light on the ground, but it also made people see the vastness of the earth. But there are always some dense shadows that distinguish the trees of the village. Lu Qian and Luan Tingyu each rode in front of the team, but they heard the sound of human feet and horses' hooves stepping on the frozen snow. The cold wind of the winter night that blew on the face, sandwiched some snow on the ground, and I felt that it was as cold as a cut.

Wandering around on horseback, I saw the pitch-black night sky and the snow underneath, mixed together. The land is like a dead sea, and there is no movement. Only the sound of the wind in mid-air, shushing and shouting on the horse's head.

Five hundred cavalry unexpectedly penetrated directly into the city of Fanxian. He Guan is also well commanded by the troops, it is such a cold night, although the soldiers on duty at night of the Song army are frozen and stiff, but they are still standing at their posts. What's more, outside the camp, a group of sentry guards weaved a big net outside Fan County, completely avoiding the possibility of a sneak attack on the Song army camp.

After Lu Qian heard the return of Shi Qian, he was really surprised. But He Guan has a lot of reputation after all, and it is not too surprising that he can do this. "In that case, let's just break in." Lu Qian said. Anyway, this time he just wants to see Song Jun's reaction, and see He Guan's reaction.

And at this moment, in the camp of the Song army, the two commanders of the Gong Shengjun looked back at the soldiers under them, each took a sword, spear, bow and arrow, and stood upright in the wind and snow, quietly. One said to the other: "You see, it is cold on the ground, and the thieves may not have come to attack our camp as the captain expected. "Although the main body of these 50,000 armies is selected from the guards and the pro-army infantry army to command the envoys, it is impossible that there is no cavalry at all, and the latter is from the guards and the pro-army horse army are all commanding the envoys and the palace front division. This arch holy army is subordinate to the temple front division. The two battalions of horse troops were a real 500 people. Before the expedition, the 23rd battalion of the Gongsheng Army selected these 1,000 elites.

The other commander laughed; "Let's wait a while, if the thieves don't come, we will go back to the tent to rest, and tomorrow and tomorrow will have no errands, and we will not be busy in vain." As he said this, he couldn't help but look to the southeast corner.

Since the news of the Liangshan Bo thieves coming down the mountain, He Guan ordered them to prepare. Last night, it was the two battalions of the Xiaojie Army under the command of the guards and the Ma Army, and today it will be the turn of the Gong Saint Army to which they belong in front of the palace. Who told Lu Qian to use the strategy of night attack. Night battles can be described as one of his magic weapons, helping him lead the defeat of the official army.

When he was about to eat, the commander laughed, turned sideways and said to his companion, "But it's not here!" The latter was also shocked, and heard a crying father calling his mother in the distance, and the wind blew. His face was full of joy: "Taiwei is really a god." Tonight he will make the thief look good. ”

"Brothers, follow me to kill you. Let my brother say hello to that Captain He. Lu Qian shouted loudly, causing a group of people to laugh. The horse's hooves were raised, and the five hundred cavalry were like a sharp spear, piercing Fan County.

The sound of horses' hooves alerted a team of Song army patrol soldiers and horses to collide with each other. Lu Qian carried the wind splashing knife and rushed to the front, and with just one sword, he cut the officer in front of him in two, whether it was the head or the commander. Under the assault of 500 cavalry, this wave of officers and soldiers patrolling the post no longer existed.

This is the first mistake of Ho Guan. He thought that he had arranged a patrol team, and he would be like that iron chain, and he would ask Liang Shanbo to sneak attack the soldiers and horses. But he didn't know that the sergeant of the other generation was under the front of Liangshanbo's soldiers, like a rotten rein, without any strength.

The rumbling sound of horses' hooves woke He Guan from his sleep, sat up in his cloak, and called his entourage to ask. The entourage reported with a smile: "Sure enough, as the captain expected, the Liangshan thieves really sent people to sneak attack. ”

That Cheng Wanli also woke up from his sleep, and after hearing the report from his entourage, he laughed. "Lu Qian, Lu Qian, you tortured the official so much that he was frightened that day, and today I want you, a thief, to know the power of the official army." The instinctive chest let out a big breath, so unpleasant.

After the chaos, there should be great governance. Thinking of the situation of Jeju Mansion after the pacification of Liangshanbo, Chen Wanli was full of pride for a while.

Hearing the sound of the infantry armor of the brigade next to him, it turned out to be He Guan hanging up and going to the city. He also called his subordinates to change his clothes. When he caught up with the city, he saw the sound of a crying father and a mother outside the city. Under the cover of darkness, Cheng Wanli couldn't see the battlefield clearly. But the little torches like stars outside the city, gathered or scattered, he is intelligent and does not owe money, how can he not understand?

The team that is like a fire dragon and rampaging off the field must be the Liangshan Bo Thief Army. And the others, with pieces of torches, dense like fireflies, can only be Song Jun. Among them, there are not only horse troops, nor are they only infantry troops. In He Guan's design, it was the horse and foot that cooperated with each other, with the cavalry as the main attack, the infantry on night duty in the camp, and the infantry on patrol outside, that is, a wall and a chain of chains, the two cooperated, and finally trapped the fierce horse that attacked Liangshanbo under the city of Fanxian County.

But what does Cheng Wanli see now?

It was the Liangshan Bo thief soldiers, it was really as if a fire dragon had crashed into the firefly swarm, and after a blow, the fireflies were about to destroy a large area, and they were torn apart by the fire dragon. Looking at the speed of the fire dragon, it is like entering a no-man's land.

"Is it Captain He at the head of the city? Xiao Ke Lu Qian, this is polite. Seeing the crowd of people exposed in the bright light on the city's head, Lu Qian looked at the people who were being embraced in the middle, presumably He Guan. Then he shouted.

"How can this be justified, how can it be justified? The thief chief dared to insult the court officials. ”

Liangshan's soldiers and horses are sharp, and the Song army under the city is in a mess, a scene that Cheng Wanli can see, how could He Guan miss it? Seeing the trap he had arranged, he was stabbed by Liang Shanjun like a layer of window paper, and he was galloping with great ease, and the angry He Guan just wanted to draw his sword and kill people himself. What's more, Lu Qian is still so provocative.

"Pass on my military order and tell the Xiaojie army to move quickly. Cut down all these thieves and thieves to this official, and capture the thief chief alive. "He Guan is not angry.

But how could Lu Qian in the battle formation give Xiaojie such a chance? Hearing the sound of horses' hooves in the Song military camp in the south of Fan County, he immediately shouted, and Luan Tingyu led five hundred cavalry out of the battle, looking at Guanshan Town and running. The cavalry was not given a chance at all. The previous collision had already made him figure out the strength of the officers and soldiers, but now there was no need to take any more risks.

After running for six or seven miles, Lu Qian slowed down. The official army horse team with the rumbling hooves of the horses before did not really chase after them. "He Guan really has a brain." I secretly attached myself to it.

Why did Lu Qian personally lead his troops to Fanxian County tonight? This is to 'see' He Guan in the clearest way.

There is no problem with this person's arrangement, only the army of the Song Dynasty is the problem.

If they swap each other and use the Liangshan army to arrange it like this, then Hugh said that it was a team of five hundred Song army horses, and even five hundred gold soldiers and iron horsemen knelt.

Lu Qian could see Song Jun's arrangement. And what made him have a real understanding of He Guan was the speed of this person's entry into the city.

He paid attention to it, when He Guan appeared at the head of Fan County, it was less than a quarter of an hour before he drove the Song army to defeat the army and killed at the foot of Fan County. This shows that He Guan is quite conscientious and takes the initiative to wait for the city to watch the battle; It was not because the news of defeat reached the ears that he hurried to the city.

And He Guan, who appeared at the head of the city, quickly called someone to summon the Song army's brigade of horses, which was quite decisive, so that Lu Qian had to lead the troops to withdraw. After being provoked by him like this, he could still suppress his anger and tell the Song army not to come to pursue.

In this way, the intuitive feeling that He poured into Lu Qian was not a good person. But he is not without weaknesses, in Lu Qian's eyes, Taiwei He's biggest weakness is not knowing the other. His arrangement is quite good, but how can a group of soldiers stop the elite of Liangshanbo? The combat power of the Liangshan army was far beyond his imagination.
