The light rain stopped at the beginning, and the sky was sunny after the rain.

Thirty miles outside Laiyang County, in the southwest of Laixi Town, one of the most gorgeous mansions in the town, a mansion that has just changed its owner. There is a killing intent unleashed, raging.

Hua Rong is not a Confucian general, although he is white and handsome, this does not mean that he reads a lot. Otherwise, Xiao Li Guang would not have been 'fascinated' by Song Heizi.

But Hua Rongnai is a general with good restraint, but no matter how strong his restraint is, he has reached the extreme in the face of the death of the messenger he sent.

"This bird officer is really damned."

Hua Rong stared at the corpse lying in front of him, this was one of his henchmen, the people who had followed him from the time of Qingfeng Village, his endurance was finally exhausted, and his nerves were finally broken.

Several negotiations failed to make Laiyang Zhixian surrender, and this time the other party even killed the messenger he sent, which was not only equivalent to a slap in the face, but also a slap in the face to Liang Shanbo.

"My brother knows about my friendship with Brother Gongming, and he deliberately didn't ask me to show up in Dengzhou. Just led the team to sweep Laizhou. Now the small Laiyang County is so ignorant of lifting, which is really angry with me. ”

The boss gives face to the younger brother and sympathizes with the younger brother, so how should the younger brother repay the boss? Hua Rong only has one killing word in his eyes at the moment. Even if the official reputation of Laiyang County is good, it is a pity.

All of a sudden, the killing intent emanating from Hua Rong's body made the four soldiers who fled back tremble and fall to the ground.

These men were the soldiers sent by Hua Rong to protect the messenger.

They returned without incident, but they brought back a bloody corpse. Not to mention whether this is a demonstration in Laiyang Zhixian County, it is only said that the messenger was killed, and the four soldiers were not injured, which made Hua Rong angry.

"Very well, you know to be afraid." Looking at the four people in front of him coldly, Hua Rong's eyes were already narrowed.

This is one of his habits, a habitual act to do before every killing. Xu is because of his amazing archery skills, and archery always has to squint.

When the four soldiers saw this, they were already kowtowing like pounding rice, but Hua Rong was too lazy to pay attention to them. Although he narrowed his eyes, this killing intent was not for the four of them, but for those people in Laiyang County who didn't know whether to live or die.

Liang Shanbo has been going all the way, attacking the city and plundering the land smoothly, and he has never met anyone who is looking for death. The gentry, landlords, and officials who are rich and unkind, or who do a lot of evil, are expected to flee in the wind. Now they can't escape, and they catch up with a good official who Liangshanbo has never killed, and summon the people in the city to play hard, which is just the right time to kill. Let the noisy birds know that they are powerful, and let the people in Shandong know how powerful.

Liang Shanbo has not committed any offense against ordinary people, which is of course a rare 'virtue'. But they are too respectful of the people, and they are very easily deceived. And in the current environment, Liang Shanbo's roots can never be compared with those gentry. At this time, blindly 'loving the people like children' is not always a good thing. You must know that filial piety is born under the stick.

It is not necessarily a good thing to find a chicken in so many states and counties and kill it for the people to see. Anyway, after Liangshanbo settles down, is he going to "grant land"? Although Liang Shanbo's 'grant of land' cannot be bought and sold, in Hua Rong's eyes, this is an absolute good governance. At this point, it can consolidate the foundation of Liangshanbo floating. The consequences of killing chickens are not worth mentioning at all. Now look, this old hen who doesn't know whether to live or die is already there.

Shouted to the people on the left and right: "Drag them down." Beat fifty sticks. Immediately, a guard rushed up, held these people down, and dragged them down.

"General Xie is forgiving, General Xie is forgiving......" The four soldiers who were about to be beaten were all lucky.

Hua Rong didn't even look at it anymore, but only landed on the corpse again, and the anger in his heart was always rolling and unquellable.

"Stay and bury it. In his house, he sent fifty taels of silver. "Hua Rong's original nearly 2,000 subordinates have now been reduced to only 1,000 people, but they are all sergeants of Liang Shanbo. The henchmen around him are the regular soldiers of the Liangshan Army. Now that he is dead, there is a bereavement pension on his head.

The body was carried down, and he instructed the people on the left and right: "Go, call the officers of the battalions and let them wait in the council hall." ”

When the attendants on the left and right received this order, several of them immediately went out to give orders.

Laixi Town is not big, and in about a quarter of an hour, seven or eight generals have already arrived in a hurry. The pair headed by the dragon Zou Yuan and the unicorn dragon Zou Run's uncle and nephew. When they arrived at Denglai, they recruited some people, and they were competitors of Song Jiang and his group. But the latter recruits people above board, while the former has to hide his head and tail. In the end, when Lu Qian entered Denglai, they only led more than 1,000 people to start an incident in Mingtang Mountain, and then captured Jiaoshui County. Later, I hit Jiaoxi again, but I was defeated. Then he waited for Xiao Li Guanghuarong to bring troops over to respond.

After the Yiying people sat down in the chamber, Hua Rong slowly walked in from the outside. He sat down on the throne and said, "I came to you this time, but I have something to announce. ”

Hua Rong's gaze swept over the audience, and he said firmly in his tone: "I have decided to immediately raise troops and attack Laiyang County." ”

"Killed." Everyone present had already heard about the killing, and they were not surprised by this conclusion, and said in response.

After that, it's time to point and distribute tasks.

Hua Rong has also been in battle for a long time, and of course he is very familiar with this set, and he will give orders after a while.

When Zou Yuan, Zou Run and the others retreated, Hua Rong unfolded the map and looked at the Laiyang County marked on it, and for a moment, his eyes fell on Jimo and Jiaoxi, which were not far from Laiyang County, revealing a sneer.

The speed of Hua Rong's march was not very fast, but the momentum was very large.

The official of Laiyang County has a very good reputation, and when he says a word, coupled with the local gentry and wealthy households, he really bewitches many people.

Along the way, Hua Rong heard fast horse reports from time to time, and waves of people continued to pour into the city. Thirty miles of road, Hua Rong walked for two days. In the towns and villages around Laiyang, there were groups of thirty or fifty people, and at least five or six hundred young people entered the city.

No matter how slow it is, there will be a time. Sun Chao, the magistrate of Laiyang, stood on the head of the city, looking at the people and horses driving from the west, his face sinking like water. Standing next to him was Gu Jun, a famous man on the Wulong Water.

Wulongshui is a large river that originates in Laiyang, although it is only 100 miles long, it can go straight to the sea. The river is also up to 100 meters wide, but the river is dive, and it is impossible to enter the sea boat. However, there are also many people in Laiyang County who rely on this river to make a living.

Gu Jun is the number one hero on this big river.

When Song Jiang came to Denglai to recruit troops, he had also heard of his reputation, but at that time, Gu Jun had been recruited by Sun Chao to be the chief practitioner of the county militia group, and he still stayed in Laiyang County after that entanglement. And now Liangshanbo's soldiers and horses are really coming to Laiyang, and Sun Chao, the county magistrate, is a hardcore of the old Zhao family, and has been an official in Laiyang County for many years, and his official reputation is very good, so he has a lot of influence.

When Gu Jun accepted Sun Chao's solicitation, he also made a decision in his heart, so he naturally had no opinion. What's more, as far as he knows, the newly compiled Ding Yongcheng army of Jimo and Jiaoxi is about to become an army, and Laiyang is the closest place to the two places, and the attacking Liangshan army is only a partial army, which makes him feel a lot more confident in his heart.

The name of the shadow tree of man. If it was Lu Qian who led the main force of the Liangshan Army to attack, no matter how bold Gu Jun was, he would not think that he could withstand it, and he was not called Hao Zhao, and Laiyang City was not Chen Cang. That's definitely not going to be defended.

But who is Huarong?

In Qingzhou, Xiao Li Guang's name can still be a little loud. But in Denglai, the sick lieutenant Chi Sun Li is the first hero.

"Be at ease. There are thousands of Ding Yong in Laiyang City, and there are more than 1,000 young people in the city. That Hua Rong only has three or four thousand thieves, twice is not enough, how can I help Laiyang? ”

If Liangshanbo's large army comes, it will first take Dengzhou, and I don't know how long it will take. When the time comes, the team will pull and go directly to "go up the mountain and fall into the grass". Laiyang County has a vast area, and there are many hiding places for mountains and rivers. Gu Jun was not afraid of Liang Shanbo, all he thought about was that he would keep Sun Chao in the mountains and rivers of Laiyang County, and wait until the imperial army counterattacked the Liangshan thieves, and it would be a great achievement to welcome Wang Shi at that time.

Sun Chao already has a good official reputation, and if he makes such a contribution, it is possible for a government to be judged, or even a state governor, or even a prefecture, and he Gu Jun has also completely cleared his name, and he has become an official, and he is called a master.

Sun Chao thought the same.

The current Laiyang County in the future is including Laixi, Haiyang, Laiyang three counties, the north followed by Zhaoyuan, which has not yet established a county, this area is vast.

Both of them are very Zhao faction, but they don't see death as home. I thought about the future early in my heart, and I was confident.

Hua Rong took Zou Yuan as the vanguard, led 500 people to guard Laiyang County, and led his troops to set up camp. Everything will be settled tomorrow. Out of Lin Long led the troops to the city, and he ran into a group of men and horses led by Gu Jun.

Of course, Gu Jun, the name of Zou Yuan, knew about it, and even the two of them had a few encounters. But this time they met on the battlefield.

Gu Jun had never fought, and Zou Yuan's experience was pitiful. However, Zou Yuan had several experienced veterans around him.

According to the rules of the green forest, Gu Jun stopped his horse steps, just to report his name and surname, and scold the anti-thief for being bold. An old soldier beside Zou Yuan said: "Leader Zou, this Laiyang Minyong is a rookie on the battlefield, a single arrow shoots over, and then scatters in a hurry, it will definitely be able to kill the other party to a big defeat." ”

And Zou Yuan chose the former without hesitation between the rules of the green forest and the victory of the battle formation.

"Shoot the arrows, shoot the arrows to me, and shoot these fools who have lost their minds." Izulin Long shouted loudly. The sergeant of this battalion he led was not a man from the green forest recruited by Denglaidi, it was one of the two battalions of reserve troops brought by Hua Rong.

The arrows flew away, and more than three hundred archers pulled out their strong bows in their quivers in the shortest possible time. Arrows rained down, and the swordsmen and shield soldiers in front of them were like tigers descending from the mountain.

Only Zou Yuan didn't move. His family knows his own affairs, Zou Yuan is not an invincible general, and in this formation, there are still few people who are not good at charging into battle at the earliest.

Gu Jun, who was immediately shot by the rain of arrows, was a little stunned, and in a hurry, he could only turn around and run. Then the whole team started running.

"A rabble." Hua Rong put away the clairvoyant mirror, he didn't have any comment on this battle, Liang Shanbo's men and horses fought against a nest of people, if they didn't win so cleanly, there would be ghosts.

"Tell Zou Yuan and tell him to pile up the corpses of the place where he was cut and killed under the city wall." He wanted to see if Sun Chao, who was in the city tonight, dared to send someone to collect the corpse.

……

Qixia Town. It is more than 100 miles away from Dengzhou City.

Zhu Tong and Lei Heng led the troops to stay here overnight. The two drank a few more glasses of wine, and neither of them was late at night, but they were still in good spirits, and they were not sleepy.

The two of them have been out of Dengzhou for four full days.

In this way, the two talked about Dengzhou and their future.

For the latter, they are full of confidence, and they talk like a river of words. As for the former, the two looked at each other, but couldn't say anything.

"Brother, it's been two days since our brother came out." The winged tiger opened his mouth halfway.

"You said that Dengzhou City, but ...... still there?"

The bearded prince didn't answer for a long time, he knew that Song Jiang's actions were for the sake of the safety of his brothers, and for his father Song Taigong, and even those high-ranking families, they were all sold to Liang Shanbo, and he didn't owe anything in his heart.

Zhu Tong himself was born in a wealthy family, how could he not know that under the dazzling clothes of a wealthy family, the black heart and liver body, and the maggot-ridden filth? So he didn't say a word. It's just that this kind of thing makes him feel ashamed after all.

According to Song Jiang and Liang Shanbo's plan, now Dengzhou Water City must have been taken by Liang Shan. As soon as Dengzhou Water City is lost, Dengzhou City will be a dead land, and the morale of the warriors in the city will inevitably be greatly defeated. If the Liangshan army takes advantage of the situation to attack, Dengzhou will be in danger.
