The time shifted to the eve of Lu Qian's army. It was still a snowstorm in the Northland. The wind was biting, and the whistling sound was like a ghostly howl.

The three hundred Beidi Han'er and the heroes in the army selected by Song Jiang and Shi Wengong stood like stone pillars in the cold wind and ice and snow, and their faces were all calm about life and death.

Song Jiang's eyes were full of tears, and he bowed to these three hundred people who swore to die. Song Jiang vowed that he would live up to the courage of all the kings in this life. If there is a breach of promise, teach Song Jiang to break his bones and die without a place to be buried. ”

I will raise your wife - in this era, it is not a ridicule on the Internet in later generations, but a necessary means to really teach people to serve death.

Liang Shanjun's heavy pension, isn't it a variant of this sentence? If you want to teach people to work hard, you must not only have a heavy reward, but also make people have no worries. It's like Song Jiang.

"Brother, this time to the Northland, please take care." The three hundred warriors were all equipped with horses, wore leather robes, carried swords and bows, and went to the north to stir up the unrest of the Khitan borderlands, and taught them to be unable to distinguish their spirits, and to go south to fight the grass valley.

This is the method that Song Jiang came up with that day, a method that can only be done but not said. Shi Wengong also recognized. He chose fifty warriors from his army to be the backbone of this team.

Three hundred people are dead soldiers, at least sworn to death, and their only purpose is to make a big mess in the Khitan Nanjing Road for a short time. In the latter territory, there are many refugees who are waiting to be fed, and these people have suffered a lot, saying that they are still loyal people of Daliao, and pigs will not believe them. As long as someone provokes a fire, it is bound to cause a turmoil.

The person headed by these three hundred people is Bao Xu, who is known as the god of mourning. This guy is a Kouzhou people's clan, good at making a broadsword, because of his fierce appearance, he had to kill people in his life, and the people of the rivers and lakes are called the god of mourning. In his early years, he once gathered five or seven hundred minions, occupied the Dry Tree Mountain, raided houses and houses, and had two or three hundred war horses under his command. Therefore, although Bao Xu is a foot general in Liangshanbo, it is a joke to say that he can't ride a horse.

This world is different from the original Water Margin, Bao Xu did not wait for Li Kui to come, but was beaten by Wei Dingguo and Shan Tingqi in Lingzhou and fled a long time ago. Lingzhou is not far from Jeju, and with Liangshanbo so big in his eyes, how can he not kill the bandits in the territory?

Bao Xu couldn't resist the killing of the two generals of Shenhuo Shengshui, and ran out of Lingzhou before Wei Dingguo and Shan Tingqi were captured by the Liangshan army. first defected to the little whirlwind Chai Jin, and then arrived at the junction of the Liao and Song dynasties in a short time, and started the business of robbing houses.

Even when the Liangshan army captured Cangzhou, it had nothing to do with him, because of the long distance. Later, Song Jiang came here to replace Chai Jin, and he also took over this relationship by the way. Hei Saburo will win over the Jianghu man, and Bao Xu is very convinced of him.

If the Cangzhou garrison expanded its recruitment, Song Jiang pulled Bao Xu into the army. Because he did not make meritorious achievements, he could only be a battalion deputy in the army. Now that the Liangshan Army has strict specifications, Song Jiang can't do it.

This time, Bao Xu took the initiative to ask for help, so if he can return alive, it will naturally be a great merit. But if he can't, Kurosaburo will cry again.

His brothers in the old days, Lei Heng was separated, and they didn't mention it to each other, but the rift in their hearts couldn't be bridged, and it was difficult to reunite after breaking the mirror.

Zhu Tong is still there, Yu Baosi is still there, and the others, the Kong brothers are dead and missing, they are all dead; Yan Shun committed suicide, and Shi Yong died in battle. When the news came after the war in Luzhou, Song Jiangzhen was about to cry to death.

Now that he has Bao Xu's brother, he doesn't want to see him die. "Brother, stay here for me to come back. The younger brother was born to love to kill, but he was never killed. ”

For example, he led 300 people who swore to die, from the mouth of the Juma River to the sea, along the ice floe to detour through Liaodi. Yang Lin, Shi Xiu and others, in winter, traveled back and forth between the north and the south, and they were all walking on the coastal ice floes.

The land north of the Juma River is certainly dominated by Khitan nobles, but there are also many Han people. The latter had already vaguely pulled up the ranks to defend themselves. Those with outstanding strength have built a dock fort, just like the five generations of troubled times more than 100 years ago. After the Khitan people ruled the sixteen states of Youyun, they pulled or beat, both soft and hard, and it was easy to bulldoze the Han Haoqiang manors in Nanjing Province one by one, and now it is only two or three years, and the latter has sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, emerging in endlessly.

However, between the manors and forts, there were even more poor and helpless Northland Han people.

The only places these people could go were in the towns. The latter is more secure and can get some relief. Bao Xu's first target was Yanghukou Village outside Wuqing City. There is naturally a military village there, in which thousands of soldiers are stationed, but it is not the elite Khitan soldiers, but the Nanjing Daozhou soldiers. I'm afraid that the Khitans don't even have a hundred or ten people, and the rest are all Nanjing Daohan soldiers. There are thousands of residents around the village, and now there are 10,000 people including refugees.

The group bypassed the Juma River from the coast, identified the direction, and headed straight to Yanghu Kouzhai. When I arrived here, it was getting dark. If so, rest on the spot until late at night.

Bao Xu bit the jerky, his eyes exuding heat. He knew that he had killed a lot of people in the past, and he seemed to be congenitally dissatisfied with the Liangshan army. Otherwise, he would have been recommended by Jiao Ting, and he would have defected to Liangshanbo a long time ago. If you are afraid to run to the border from Lingzhou, it will not be stable. The Liangshan army has swept Hebei, and there will be a place for him to live there? Fortunately, he was recommended by Chai Daguan and asked him to get acquainted with Song Sanlang, and I am afraid that he will not be able to enter the right path in this life. And since he has such an opportunity, he must hold on tightly.

At the fifth watch, the night was silent. Bao Xu summoned a leader in the team and asked them to lead twenty crossbowmen to ambush five miles outside the wall, and then two more people each led fifty people to ambush on both sides.

Immediately called a hundred horses, personally led them, picked up the bell, and quietly hid outside the village. Then there were 80 people left, and they fought with open fire, and went straight to the outside of the village to burn, kill and loot.

For a time, there was a cry and shouting in the outer residential area of Yanghukou Village, and the fires were everywhere. The sergeant guarding the village panicked and reported to the guards Yelu Haolu and Shen Gong. The leader, Yelu Haolu, is six feet long, and his strength is outstanding, making a thirty-pound wind knife. He is a typical Khitan general, with a reckless and fiery personality and a brave body. When I heard the report that there was a group of horse thieves outside the village who were burning and killing, I was furious, and immediately ordered the army and horses and went out of the city to meet the enemy.

Shen Gong was still cautious, and said bluntly: "It's dark outside the wall, I don't know the geometry of the thieves, you can't underestimate the enemy, you should only hold on." Wait until tomorrow to fight. It makes sense, but where does this dog's head put the many people outside the village?

Yelu Haolu said angrily: "Nai Na, I despise me here, dare to come to Yanghukou to spread wild." He will be tired from afar, wait for me to go out, teach him not to return! "But because I haven't heard of any refugees in Wuqing recently, I just thought it was a foreign bandit. In anger, he first underestimated the person who came.

Because this Nanjing Road is the fundamental place of the Liao State, the soldiers and horses are able to suppress it, so that in these dozens of states and counties, there is no bandit to become bigger.

Shen Gong admonished bitterly, but Yelu Haolu didn't listen, and said: "In this case, leave five hundred military horses to guard with you." Go and sit on the tower, and watch me kill the thief. "Hurriedly put on his sword and lead the troops out of the city to meet the enemy. At the opening of the city gate, the drawbridge was lowered, and four or five hundred cavalry horses crossed the drawbridge. Rush towards the fire.

The Liao army held out a large torch, dozens of Khitan cavalry, and brought out one person in the middle, who was Yelu Haolu. He wears a golden hair and iron helmet, and sprinkles a bucket on the top to bring large and small red tassels. Wearing a pair of iron armor with a chain of trivia, wearing a collar embroidered cloud and haul flower robe, wearing a pair of oblique leather inlaid cloud heel boots, and tying a red diagnostic nail to fold the winning belt. A bow, a pot of arrows. Ride a red curly-haired horse with a wind-splashing knife in your hand. This is a hundred times better than those who swear to death who howl and set fires.

Yelu Haolu slashed down with a sword, and first cut one person off his horse. Then with a swing of the long knife, another person was cut off. Behind him, the Khitan cavalry rushed out on horseback, and in the blink of an eye, a group of five or six cavalry was slashed and killed. Another group of 'thieves' not far away saw it, and they turned their horses around and fled. Yelu Haolu immediately crossed the knife and laughed: "A nest of thieves dares to come here to die!" ”

The morale of the Liao army was also strong, and they chased after Yelu Haolu.

Shen Gong was on the wall of the wall, and when he saw Yelu Haolu chasing after him, he was afraid that he would lose, and he was about to beat the drum to collect the troops, but he saw a group of military horses rushing in from outside the village, which was the person led by Bao Xu, and he seemed to have grabbed the suspension bridge. How could the Han soldiers guarding the other place be so fierce that they could not be stopped; Shen Gong hurriedly shouted to close the gate. Bao Xu had already rushed in.

The gatekeepers marched forward together, and were shouted by Bao Xu, and the big iron sword was picked up, and in the blink of an eye, two were cut over, and three or four were chopped down, and the soldiers behind them rushed in, seized the city gate, and killed the sergeants. That Shen Gong saw that his head was not good, so he hurriedly rolled down, and was about to leave in the Wangjun Village, but was caught up by Bao Xu and cut off his head with a sword.

Yelu Haolu was reluctant to chase after the 'thieves', and the hundreds of Han soldiers fell behind in the blink of an eye. Yelu Haolu is also not afraid, and the small hundred and ten Khitan cavalry around him has high morale. Because they were both horse armies, they ran very fast, and the road of four or five miles was only about to reach in the blink of an eye.

Then I heard the sound of a bang, and a sudden puff of arrows and crossbows shot from the forest beside the road. Yelu Haolu chased at the front, how to avoid it when he found something wrong? When the whole body roared angrily, the strength of the whole body was empty, and the man plopped down and fell off the horse.

At this moment, the ambush soldiers on both wings shouted and slaughtered together, and the men and horses in front of them also turned their heads to kill back. The Khitan cavalry had just lost its general, and it was ambushed again, and for a time the army was in turmoil, and no one dared to go to the actual battle. They all beat their horses and fled backwards. After such a fight, most of the Khitan cavalry in the Yanghu Kou Village were killed, and the rest scattered and fled. Three or four hundred Han soldiers in the north were captured and surrendered.

Bao Xu counted the soldiers and horses, and the 300 men also suffered 50 or 60 casualties. But this doesn't matter, with the accumulation of Yanghu Kouzhai, he can recruit thousands of people in the blink of an eye, or even more, if he scatters the grain.

Subsequently, he 'fled' all the way west from Wuqing, and he did not need to go north, but only needed to wrap up the people, which could disturb the southern border of Liao. Bao Xu only needs to be able to hold on to the moonless scene, which is enough to make Song Jiang face the Liao army and have no time to look south.

All of them, the Baoding Army, the Xin'an Army, Bazhou, and Xiongzhou have all been taken by his Hei Saburo. With the banner of the Liangshan Army, the Liao people did not dare to invade the south.

In this way, the stability of the 400-mile frontier can be guaranteed.

As for the land west of Xiongzhou, Song Gongming couldn't take care of it. One is that he has limited troops; The second is that King Lu didn't give him an order, did he?

Song Sanlang's secret letter was sent to Lu Qian by Kuaima, and after the latter read it, he immediately replied. What's there to worry about? Can Liao really turn his face against him? Do they have the guts?

After a year of trade, the two sides have already been strategic partners. Without the big merchant of the Liangshan Army, why did the Khitans have swords, guns and armor to rectify their soldiers and horses? This is already related to the core interests of Liao.

If so, as Song Gongming said, this kind of thing cannot be done.

What if the Khitans were suspicious? In the face of national interests, such 'small things' can be ignored. Is Song Jiang very smart, look at the line he drew for Bao Xu? Only in a few prefectures and counties in the border areas of the Liao-Song Dynasty, although this is a bit too explicit, but if the chaotic people do not enter Xijin Mansion, it will not damage the core interests of the Khitans.

This is just like the accidental bombing and collision of the embassy of the rabbit and the bald eagle in later generations, and even the recent trade frictions, which are only means of suppression, but do not touch the collision of core interests.

"Your Majesty, Zhao Liangsi has sent a secret report. Tong Guan is trying to appease Li Miao with Hebei West Road. ”

In the Daimyo's Mansion, the war had subsided, and Zhang Xian was persuaded by Wang Yan to lead his army to surrender. Then the entire Daimyofu garrison was surrendered. It's just that Zhang Suo still didn't know how to be interested, first scolded Zhang Xian, and then committed suicide in the room that night, so that Lu Qian was not angry. Looking at Zhang Xian's request to help the coffin to return to his hometown for the people, it is also meaningless. Immediately agreed.

He was so polite to the Zhang family and his son for the sake of Yue Fei's face. It's too much of a disappointment now.

Of course, he won't vent the anger in his stomach on the dead Zhang Suo, no matter what, this person is very good, isn't he?

It's much stronger than the Huang Qianshan brothers, isn't it?

Lu Qian simply made a show and set up a general's temple outside the Daimyo's Mansion.

Zhang Suo died, Zhang Xian left, but he finally accepted Wang Yan. This guy's martial arts are also good, and he is also talented in commanding troops, but this name has not yet made Lu Qian think of the eight-character army in the official history.

Zhang died, but there was no turmoil in the Daimyo's Mansion. Lu Qian took Xu Guanzhong as the Daimyo Mansion Yin, and the surrounding situation immediately became harmonious. Xu Guanzhong is a native of the Daimyo Mansion, and he can calm people's hearts better than Huang Qianshan, a demoted official.

The latter was not unloaded and killed, and Lu Qian, who didn't know what kind of person Huang Qianshan was in the official history, left him by his side and let Huang Qiande be the county magistrate of Yuancheng County in the Daimyo Mansion. Yuancheng, that is, the Daimyo Mansion.

At this time, the spy department sent a letter from Zhao Liangsi. The name of the payment is Ma Zhi, and this guy saw that Zhao Song was not good, so he communicated with Liang Shanjun, and even threw away the name given by Zhao Ji.

"This old thief is so obsessed, it's damn good." Lu Qian once thought about recruiting Tong Guan, because this Tong Guan was too representative, and if he surrendered, he would definitely be able to hit the morale of the Zhao and Song courtiers hard. But the reputation of this guy is too bad and violates the morality of the Liangshan army. If so, he still hesitated, but he didn't expect this eunuch to be so loyal to Zhao Song.

spent money and grain in the Xingzhou area, wantonly recruited troops and horses, and conspired with Li Miao, the pacification envoy of Hebei West Road in Zhending Mansion.

A eunuch was loyal to the Zhao family, but Zhao Liangsi communicated with several of his generals.

It's sad, but it's also ridiculous.
