It's April, the green trees are budding, and the peach and plum blossoms are blooming, which is the best time of the year. However, when Lin Chong's letter was sent to the Central Plains, there were already soldiers fighting there. The tense atmosphere spread throughout Shandong, and Lu Qian's army still stayed in Jinan Mansion. But a steady stream of military supplies has been transferred from the rear to Jeju.

Wu Li didn't want to wander around Jinan anymore, he felt very boring. "Isn't this Lord Lu a saint who came into the world, such a set of hypocrisy, such a bird robber?" Drinking wine in a big bowl and eating meat in large pieces, grabbing gold and silver Ayaluo, and asking that Jiao Niang to warm her feet, it is cool, and Tian Hujun like Liang Shanjun can't learn it at all. Not to mention anything else, just a military discipline, Yitian Tiger Army was changed to Liangshan Army, and all the heads were cut off from top to bottom, and I am afraid that there are few wronged people.

The roots of the two armies are different, so why force it. "Poor Liang Shanbo is so benevolent and righteous, and his reputation in Hedong is still mixed." The literati and doctors were all eager to carry buckets of ink and smear them.

This King of the Liangshan Army is 'benevolence and righteousness', and the reputation of the Liangshan Army is indeed very good in Qilu. And those are not also mostly concentrated in the gentry and scholars who were cut down by them.

Wu Li was not surprised.

People are realistic, these people pay less taxes under the Liangshan army, get more benefits, and many people even get public land, although it is only public land. These are real benefits, and no one will take the benefits and open their mouths to curse.

In Wu Li's eyes, although the foundation of Liangshanjun's rule in Qilu is still weak, this is the real root. Unlike Tian Hu's army in Hedong, it seems that it has also captured a lot of military states, but in fact, it has occupied a city. Liang Shanjun is fighting steadily, as long as it continues like this, it will only take two or three years, and the people in the land of Qilu will probably only know that there is a King of Qi, but not Zhao Tianzi.

This is like Wu Li and Fan Quan are very inconsistent, what is the reason? is because both of them are relatives of Tian Hu. How can there be people who live in peace between this main palace lady and the little three? Everything is a conflict of interests, and the same is true for the hearts and minds of the people.

It's a pity that Tian Hu can't learn this set. Even he, Wu Li, is not subject to such constraints. With such rules and regulations, he is just a kind person, why is he doing this murderous business?

So, Wu Li gave up.

"The roots on both sides are not the same, so I am reluctant to exert myself." It's that he knows that this Tian Tiger Army is a human being, and no matter how much strength he has, it is not the same. This Liangshan army can be absorbed by Tian Hujun, and he is the governor of the five armies and the six departments of the cabinet, cutting off the Privy Council and the three provinces, so that the power is in the hands of the king of Qi. With such an official position construction, Lu Qian is worthy of being a fool of officialdom and knowledgeable.

In this way, Wu Li still did not return to Hedong, and some of Tian Hu's subordinates were fierce generals, many of him. He left Qilu to go to Hebei to explore a way forward for the spread of Natian Tiger here.

Lu Qian gave him another favor, "My brother's surname is Yang Minglin, and the rivers and lakes are nicknamed Jin Leopard. Your envoy desires Hebei, and you can go with it. ”

This is not to solicit Wu Li, but to make Tian Hu no longer so strange to Hebei. The ultimate goal is to consume Hebei's existing strength and find some trouble for Tong Guan.

Since the western army was divided into two ways to kill Benhedong and Jinghu, Tong Guan also drove his troops all the way and overwhelmed the outside of Dicheng.

The one who leads the army is beautiful. At the beginning, this guy together with Bi Sheng and others accompanied Gao Yu to conquer Liangshan, but was broken by the Liangshan army, and in the last battle with Cai Zhen, Qiu Yue and Zhou Ang were defeated, Mei Zhan and Bi Sheng were captured, and only he and Wang Wende escaped. Now Wang Wende is working under Liu Tao in Tokyo, but Yumei is back under Tong Guan's account. Without Yang Keshi and Yang Kesheng's brothers, Tong Guan is also a little more important to Yumei.

Now that Yumei has brought 5,000 troops to overwhelm Dizhou, Li Congji [I made a mistake before, it was Wang Huan who was captured, and Li Congji escaped] led 10,000 troops to Gaotang, and Tong Guan sent these two troops to contain Lu Qian, but he undoubtedly succeeded.

A few days later, the Daimyo's Mansion was in the city. The Hun family of the grass snake Li Si was sitting on the ground in the cabinet room, the curtain was lifted, and two people were about to come in and sing in unison. Look at it again, the two people have already taken off the Fan Yang felt hat on the top of their heads, one is Yang Lin, a brocade leopard, and the other looks good at the tiger's back, but the Li family doesn't recognize it.

The two of them were all dressed as passers-by, holding wooden sticks in their hands, hanging a simple knife on their waists, and wrapping them on their shoulders. The Li family said 'oops', his face was happy, and he hurriedly greeted the general, and first saluted Yang Lin and said, "Uncle don't come to harm's house, how did you come to the Daimyo's Mansion today?" Who is this hero? ”

Yang Lin said: "Brother and sister Hugh should ask more, just treat it as your own brother." ”

Li was not happy when he heard this, but he thought that it was another hero who was going to go to Qilu, and led Yang and Wu to come inside.

Li Si had already stepped forward when he heard the news, and it was so unpleasant for the two sides to meet like relatives. Sit down in the same room, and the second child in the store has already served the wine and food. Yang Lin introduced Wu Li and Li Si like this, and Li Si smiled when he heard it: "This is easy." Within ten days, the villain will bring the Hebei Forbidden Army defense map to the noble envoy. ”

The latter was overjoyed when he heard it, and thanked him repeatedly, although he was moved by what Lu Qian said, but he was also worried about the strange environment of Hebei. Li Si laughed when he heard it, "This Hebei official army has long been like a coffin buried in the ground for a hundred years, sparse as mud. Don't worry. I have a way to relieve your army's sorrows. "This is a wonderful method that the spy department came up with the collective efforts, and Li Si told it so eloquently that Wu Li was overjoyed to hear it." Good plan, good plan, clever and clever. ”

Li Si smiled and made a modest appearance: "The small skills of carving insects are not worthy of praise from the nobles." This strategy is simple to say, that is, to ask Tian Hu to first allocate some capable people to invest in the big cities of the four places in Hebei, fan the flames, and seek opportunities to take advantage. Then he sent a number of brothers to lurk in some important places, thinking that they would answer. In this way, it can be from all directions, do its best, and once launched, it will shake Hebei. He, Hita Tiger, led troops into Hebei, isn't he like a fish in water?

When Wu Li fell asleep at night, Li Si, who was still dressed as a shopkeeper, still appeared in front of him, and sighed: "This brother is really a genius!" There are really so many people in Liangshanbo, and such characters only do meticulous work. ”

Li Si is like this, which really saves a lot of effort for Tian Hu's future trip to Hebei. But that's not to be said.

His gaze turned back to Lu Qian. After Yang Lin accompanied Wu Li to the north, he completely ended the matter. Tian Hu's guy is damned, and now he is also an ally of the Liangshan Army.

GG can cooperate twice when necessary, not to mention the things that Tian Hu is doing in Hedong now. But Lu Qian can only go so far, his current focus is not in Hebei. Otherwise, he would have killed the Daimyo's Mansion a long time ago.

In fact, when Wu Li and Yang Lin went to Hebei together, Lu Qian had already ordered Lu Junyi to raise a cavalry to enter Yingtianfu.

Lu Junyi loved the feeling of leading the cavalry to rush forward.

Although there are only 1,000 people in the department, they regard the tens of thousands of defenders and the people of Tianfu as nothing. When Wang Boyan, the prefect of Tian, heard about it, he sent soldiers and horses to besiege and kill, but Lu Junyi rushed left and right, and was defeated.

Tens of thousands of people were in a mess, and Lu Junyi only led a hundred horsemen to intersperse two back and forth, and the main force behind him swooped down at the right time, although the Song army was numerous, it was like a group of pigs and sheep waiting to be slaughtered. One by one, if there are headless flies, they only pick nowhere to run for their lives.

The commander of the wall, a military attache with twenty or thirty cavalrymen, supported an officer, and fled to the southwest corner. Suddenly, a cluster of soldiers and horses came out, shining on a big flag floating out in front of the wind, with white characters and a blue background, and the word 'Yao' in a big book. A fierce general, riding a high horse, waving a spear in his hand, shaking the tassel of the gun, facing the future, shouted: "Where will the thief go?" ”

The officers were dressed in red robes and did not wear armor, which was specially displayed in the battle array. didn't dare to engage Yao Zheng, so he fell off his horse and ran into the oblique spur. Even the former military attaché also abandoned everyone and followed closely behind the main general. At that time, dozens of arrows were already being fired from the array towards the fleeing generals. The military attaché's good fortune missed, and the chief officer was hit by an arrow in the shoulder, rolled over and rolled off the saddle, but grabbed the reins again and climbed up. There is a ruthlessness in it. At this time, Luan Junshi, who came with the battle, was chasing the remnants of the soldiers, and ran here, waiting to capture the brave military attache to get a credit, and now saw that the main general was hit by an arrow, where was he willing to let him run, his legs clamped the horse's belly, ran forward, rushed to the near side, had to see the kindness, raised the big gun, waved it in the air, and cut him off the horse with his shoulder and arm strap. He jumped off his horse and cut off his head, and returned to the side of the flag.

Yue Fei was only one step late. looked at the proud Luan Junshi, so he was not annoyed. The latter claims to be the son of Liang Shanbo, and now Lu Qian is not the most favorable, and he loves to compete with Yue Fei on weekdays.

After this defeat, the Yingtian defenders no longer dared to go out of the city easily, and the prefect Wang Boyan blindly sent a letter to Tokyo asking for help. Well, let's add the name of the dead red robe, this person's surname is Du Mingchong, and he is the defense envoy of Jingxi Road. He has always prided himself on knowing the soldiers, saying: The marshal must not sit on the throne, and should take the arrow stone as a matter. I thought I was Han Shin.

In this way, Du Chong did not fight in a battle, and Tianfu was tight, but Liu Tao, who was left behind in Tokyo, could only sit and not save him.

In fact, its top priority was only to defend the city of Tokyo, and when Ying Tianfu moved west, it had already been strategically abandoned. Although Nanjing of the Zhao and Song dynasties at that time, although Tianfu was known as the waist of the world: with the river and the river, shielding Huaixu, since ancient times in the Central Plains, there is no place that does not take Shangqiu as the waist.

And Zhao Song fell in Kaifeng, Yingtian became the upstream of Jianghuai, an important town for Bianluo's strength, "the south controls Jianghuai, the north is adjacent to Heji, Pengcheng is on its left, Bianjing is built on the right, the shape is good for the contact, enough to protect the southeast, the throat of Shaanxi, the main road of the north and south of the river." But all this is bleak in the face of reality, and it has become nothing.

The Song court had no soldiers, and there was not enough money and food to quickly recruit and train soldiers to defend bravely.

The latter is the land of Longxing of the Song Dynasty, when Zhao Kuangyin was in a yellow robe, he was inspected in front of the palace and the envoy of the Song Prefecture to the German army. Because its feudal town was in "Song Prefecture", it took "Song" as the country name and established the Song Dynasty. And because the fire of the Tao Tang clan is living in Shangqiu, Song Zhou is the place where the heart of the Great Mars is divided, so the Song Dynasty also calls itself "Yan Song".

It is the location of Zhao's Zongmiao Society, and it is adjacent to the Bianhe waterway, which is the prosperous place of the world. By the time Zhao Ji ascended the throne, there were 160,000 men living in the city alone, and counting the people who lived in the city, Ding Kou was afraid of no less than 200,000. The total population is less than one million, but six, seven or eight hundred thousand is possible.

is so important, but it can only be passed like this.

Lu Qian attacked and killed each other, the purpose was very simple, not for money and food, but for "destroying" the Song Dynasty Temple.

After Zhao Kuangyin was established in the Northern Song Dynasty, he built the original temple of Zhao Jiayuan in Guide as the ancestral hall. Song Zhenzong issued an edict to promote Tianfu to Nanjing, the main hall of the Jianxing Palace, in the name of Guide, called "Guide Palace", and the Holy Ancestor Hall as the Hongqing Palace. Enshrine the statue of Song Taizu, Song Taizong, Song Zhenzong, serve on the side of the Holy Ancestor Palace, the name God Palace, also known as the Three Temples, is the original temple of Zhao and Song.

Of course, Lu Qian wouldn't really burn these on fire, but as long as he could step into Hongqing Palace, hehe, it would be a lot of fun.

It's idealistic. But this time and that time.

The people of the Northern Song Dynasty were not the rabbit era, and they were not the Han Yuan Emperor Liu Zheng's heartless eyes who took digging ancestral graves as fun, and they were very devout to their ancestors. At least that's the case with social traditions. Taking Ying Tianfu will at least greatly reduce the prestige of Zhao Song. Since more than 100,000 Western troops came to the east, the prestige of the Song Dynasty in the Central Plains has been greatly enhanced, which is not a good phenomenon.

Lu Qian proposed this, whether it was Lu Zhishen, Qin Ming, or Zong Ze, Wen Huanzhang, Zhao Mingcheng and others, they were all group corresponding, and they thought it was true.

"The army of Gyeonggi is focused on Tokyo, and when Tianfu is empty, it is time to take advantage of the emptiness."

"After taking Ying Tianfu, my brother can dig up the roots of Emperor Zhao. The bird emperor did not have the emperor's order, and he used traitorous ministers and dog officials, and the world was in chaos, so he just let the emperor sit with his brother. Li Kui said more bluntly.

It cannot be denied that the first half of Tie Niu's words also represent the thoughts of many people.

In this way, Lu Qian raised troops to come to Yingtianfu, and the name of the latter's prefect was called Wang Boyan, which always gave Lu Qian a sense of familiarity. But he didn't know exactly what this man had done.

But looking at the information collected, this person's official luck is very prosperous. In the second year of Chongning's vegetable examination, he was first awarded the master book of Cheng'an, and it has only been 14 years since he was not as good as officialdom, and he has changed from a sesame official to the current Yingtian prefect. Although he was the prefect of the prefect and most of them were thrown away, he went from a small section member to a provincial-level cadre in 14 years, and he was also a bull.

This person has successively served as the doctor of Zhongfeng, the master of ceremonies Cao Shi, and the young superintendent of military weapons, and was successively summoned and appreciated by Zhao Ji during his tenure. After the rise of the Liangshan Army, he wrote the "Ping Thief Policy" to Zhao Ji, and was appointed as the Zhilong Tuge because it was in line with the emperor's wishes, and knew Chenzhou. Then in the winter of last year, he was promoted to the prefect of Yingtian.

Lu Qian also saw the so-called "Ping Thief Strategy", combined with the time, it must be said that it is still a bit bottoming out. He believes that Liangshan has the advantage of the terrain, and the thief must be in a hurry. It is advocated to fight steadily and steadily, first set up a hard village in the critical place of Shuibo, and then gather troops and horses in the back, and the first priority is to isolate the inside and outside of Shuibo.

At that time, He Guan was not defeated, and this Wang Boyan was also a little capable.

But as soon as Lu Qian became interested in it, he heard the grimace send someone to report that Wang Boyan abandoned Yingtian City and fled without knowing where to go.

Lu Qian hurriedly marched into the siege and went down with a drum.

It's just that the city of Tianfu is good, but the skin of the Song court is difficult to break. Apparently, he misestimated the shamelessness of some people.
