Dong Liang also knows that being a mountain bandit is not a long-term plan, in the past, the Song and Chu were at war, and the imperial court had no time to take care of it, but now that the Song and Chu countries have entered a period of peace, if a small mountain bandit like himself does not seize this opportunity, he will definitely be unable to escape death in the end. It's ridiculous that several other forces are still thinking about how to expand their territory, but they don't know that the bigger the force, the faster they will die? As soon as he heard General Shi's tone, he never thought of recruiting An Zhihai and Li Ming, but now he has such an opportunity because of his small power, and if he misses it, there will really be no second time.

Thinking of this, Dong Liang fell to the ground: "Thanks to the general's refusal to give up, Dong Liang is willing to surrender, if the general attacks An Zhihai and Li Ming, Dong Liang is willing to be the vanguard." ”

Shi Luosheng waited for this sentence, and hurriedly helped Dong Liang up and said: "Great, the Lord of Dong Zhai is willing to surrender, which is not only the blessing of our army, but also the blessing of the people of Dongshan." The master of Dong Zhai first served as a lieutenant in our army, and the men and horses under your command were reorganized into a war camp, and the old, weak, sick and disabled were cleared and retired to the people, and the rest of the men and horses were still under your command. After the suppression of the bandits is completed, I will present the general again, and then we will discuss the meritorious deeds and reward them together. ”

Dong Liang was originally a little worried about these brothers on the mountain, and if he surrendered, his soldiers would definitely be scattered to various battle camps, but he didn't expect Shi Luosheng to still be under his own command, and Dong Liang's last scruples were dispelled.

Shi Luosheng asked Dong Liang something about Zhang Mancheng again, and sure enough, it was the same as Wang Lun said, as long as there was a large-scale crackdown on bandits, someone would come to deliver the letter, but Dong Liang didn't know who arranged it behind the scenes.

Shi Luosheng finally advised: "General Dong, after you return to the camp, train your brothers well, and don't declare to the outside world that you have surrendered to the imperial court." As we go, you will lead these men to hunt us down for a while, and then let out the news of our unsuccessful attempt to persuade you to surrender. ”

Dong Liang's eyes rolled: "The last general understands that the general wants to confuse Zhang Taishou and other forces, and then surprise them and give them a fatal blow?" ”

Shi Luosheng smiled: "You understand what I mean, okay, let's go back, you can act according to the plan." ”

Before the three of them returned to Jeju City, news spread outside. In the Jeju Taishou Mansion, Butler Yu happily reported to Zhang Mancheng: "Master, have you heard?" Shi Luosheng's kid didn't know the height of the sky, so he took Liu Zixuan and the general Wang Lun and his party to find Dong Liang, trying to persuade Dong Liang to surrender to them. As a result, Dong Liang was furious and was about to kill him on the spot, if it weren't for Liu Zixuan's strong martial arts skills to protect Shi Luosheng and escape, it is estimated that you will never see him again in the future, master. ”

Zhang Mancheng laughed after hearing this: "After all, he is still a young man, and he will get carried away if he achieves a little success, does he think that after exterminating Pengcheng and Xianghu, the other three places are also captured?" However, this Dong Liang is too bold, if he really kills Shi Luosheng, the general will be held accountable, don't say that he is a small bandit, even if it is the master, I will have to pay for it. I think Shi Luosheng is not a master who is willing to suffer, his next goal must be to clean up Dong Liang, you should pay more attention to the forbidden army in the city and the movements of those troops in Pengcheng during this time, I guess Shi Luosheng will use troops against Xia Qiu in a short time. Once he sends troops, you will send someone to tell Dong Liang and ask him to take someone to hide first. And let our people also pay attention, Shi Luosheng has begun to doubt me, don't be caught by him. ”

Steward Yu was a little puzzled and said, "Master, you said that this stone falling can't be killed, don't we have any other way to treat him first?" ”

Zhang Mancheng said: "There is no way, but now is not the time to turn against him, the most in our interests is to wait for the half-year period to suppress bandits, let Tian Taiwei join him in front of the saint, and treat him for a crime of ineffective suppression of bandits." When I go to the court again and say that the Jeju city defense army has been exhausted by Seok Nakseung, and asks for an increase in military spending to recruit new troops, can the court still not agree at that time? Hey hey"

Steward Yu also smiled: "The master is really smart." ”

After returning to Jeju, the stricken Shi Luosheng also stopped, and all the affairs in the army were lost to Liu Zixuan and Wang Lun, Guo Xu continued to be in charge of his team leader system, and Shi Luosheng himself hid in the room every day and rarely appeared in public. On the contrary, Dong Liang of Xiaqiu became famous because he refused Shi Luosheng's recruitment and dared to hunt him down, and during this time, thousands of people joined the Xiaqiu camp one after another.

Dong Liang also hardened his anger because of this, changed his passive defensive attitude towards An Zhihai in the past, and began to launch frequent attacks on several small camps occupied by An Zhihai.

After Dong Liang took An Zhihai's two camps in a row, An Zhihai couldn't sit still and began to launch a counterattack against Dong Liang.

Zhang Mancheng, who was far away in Jeju City, felt that the situation was a little out of control, and sent people several times to ask the two to stop fighting. But how could the red-eyed two people be persuaded to stop, and Zhang Mancheng couldn't move out of his identity to mediate, so he had to tell Li Ming that no matter what happened, he couldn't leave the cottage.

"I didn't expect Dong Liang to really have two hits, and he actually killed An Zhihai and was inseparable." In the camp of the forbidden army, Shi Luosheng, Liu Zixuan, Wang Lun, and Guo Xu were analyzing the current situation together.

After returning to Jeju City that day, Shi Luosheng took out a thousand people from the forbidden army and sent them to Xiaqiu in pieces, and at the same time, in order to confuse Zhang Mancheng, he transferred 1,000 people from Pengcheng in the same way to make up for the gap in the number of forbidden troops, and at the same time asked Xun Yuqing to secretly send 2,000 people to Dong Liang, so that Dong Liang's original strength plus the new ones will not lose too much to An Zhihai in terms of combat effectiveness.

Dong Liang also trained in battle, and sent small forces to harass An Zhihai from time to time. After An Zhihai endured it a few times, he began to fight back with more people, and in the past two months, the scale of the battle between the two sides has become larger and larger.

"Luosheng, it's almost time for us to make a move, right?" Liu Zixuan couldn't help asking.

Shi Luosheng didn't answer, looked at Wang Lun and said, "Sir, what do you think?" ”

Wang Lun smiled: "General Liu can't wait, haha, but it's useless, we can't move yet." Zhang Mancheng is still staring at us, and we will startle the snake as soon as we move, so we can only let General Xun of Pengcheng move first. Pengcheng used to be Li Hai's force, and after General Xun took over, the personnel were all cleaned, and there would not be any Zhang Mancheng's eyeliner in it, if he went, Zhang Mancheng couldn't find it. ”

Liu Zixuan was a little anxious: "Won't we participate in this battle?" ”

Wang Lun replied: "Of course we want to participate, but the target is not An Zhihai but Li Ming." ”

"Why did it become Li Ming again, didn't you say that Li Ming was going to fight at the end?" Liu Zixuan was a little puzzled.

Shi Luosheng smiled knowingly, motioned for Wang Lun to continue, Wang Lun continued: "At this time and that time, now the battle between Dong Liang and An Zhihai has attracted everyone's attention, Zhang Mancheng and Li Ming also think that our plan is to either fight Dong Liang or An Zhihai, or wait until both sides are defeated before making a move, no one would have thought that at this time we would suddenly attack Li Ming." Now let General Xun secretly lead his troops to Taohuayu in Dongshan to lurk, and then the general will pretend to fight Dong Liang, and when he is halfway through the march, he will turn around and work with General Xun to take Taohuayu, gather the troops to win the gate of Dongshanzhai, and take Li Ming in one fell swoop. ”

Liu Zixuan said excitedly: "You are too ruthless, I really want to thank Li Hai, if he had listened to you at the beginning, we are afraid that we have not even entered the gate of Pengcheng until now." ”

Shi Luosheng also nodded with satisfaction and said, "Sir's plan is exactly what I want, let's do what Mr. said this time." Mr. Guo, you will send someone to tell General Xun about our plan later, and ask him to go to Taohuayu to hide now, and when we attack the village, he will make a detour behind and deal a fatal blow to the Tian Leopard in Taohuayu. ”

Guo Xu agreed: "The subordinates understand that they must also let Yuqing set up an ambush on the road up and down the mountain, and they can't let anyone go after the war." ”

Shi Luosheng said: "Yes, we must not let the news reach Li Ming, we still have to rely on Taohuayu's troops to take Dongshanzhai." ”

"Master, there is news that Shi Luosheng will raise troops to Xiaqiu tomorrow to avenge the last arrow." In the Taishou Mansion, Yu Butler became enlightened to Zhang Man.

Zhang Mancheng said: "He is finally going to move, you immediately send someone to send a letter to Dong Liang and An Zhihai, so that if they don't want to die, they will stop fighting immediately, and they will all withdraw to defend their camp." Tell them that if they don't listen to the advice this time, the city defense army in Jeju will join forces with the bandit suppression force next time, and they will not stop until they are completely exterminated, and it will be a disaster for these disobedient bandits to stay sooner or later. ”

"What, there are officers and soldiers attacking under the mountain? Didn't Shi Luosheng go to Xiaqiu? Did you read that right? Tian Leopard, the bandit leader of Taohuayu, asked the spies who had just come to report with a look of disbelief.

The spy was also panicked: "That's right, it's indeed the officers and soldiers who came, with stone characters written on the banner, and there were three thousand people." ”

Tian Bao was a little relieved when he heard that there were only three thousand people: "The order is to prepare for the battle, last time Shi Luo ascended to break through the Aolai Peak, it only took two thousand city defense troops, this time it was three thousand forbidden troops, we can't underestimate the enemy, you go to Dongshanzhai now and ask for help from the big boss." ”

After the spies left, Tian Bao gathered his troops and thought of taking advantage of Shi Luosheng's initial foothold and taking advantage of the advantage of his strength to rush and kill for a while. Who knew that as soon as the two armies clashed, the bandits were not opponents at all, and they were defeated by the officers and soldiers, Tian Bao himself was almost entangled by Liu Zixuan, if it wasn't for a few henchmen around him who desperately rescued him, he would have confessed directly.

After Tian Leopard escaped death, he did not dare to fight again, and ordered people to firmly guard the gate of the village and wait for Li Ming's rescue.

The officers and soldiers launched several rounds of attacks, but they were all blocked by Tian Bao. Shi Luosheng also ordered a pause in the attack, but did not retreat, repairing in place a stone's throw away from the walled gate, ready to launch the next wave of attacks at any time.

Tian Bao has now seen the combat effectiveness of the forbidden army, and although he has repelled several attacks, he does not dare to relax at all. Taking advantage of the break, all the wounded soldiers were replaced and replaced with a new batch of new troops.

"Oh no, a detachment of officers and soldiers was also found behind the mountain, numbering several thousand." The spies brought another piece of bad news to Tian Bao.
