Time flies, when Shi Jin was busy attracting and dividing the wealthy gentry. In the blink of an eye, more than two months have passed.

The spring breeze has passed, and the summer rain has not yet come.

As Shi Jin threatened with force on the one hand, and adopted the Huairou policy on the other hand to pacify the local wealthy clans, the restless elements in the states under his rule gradually decreased.

With the cooperation of officials, the government affairs of several states have also returned to normal. Under the operation of Pei Xuan, Jiang Jing, Wu Yong, and Zhu Wu, the weapons and grain and grass required by the Liangshan army were recalculated.

Shi Jin can finally send troops to attack Laizhou with peace of mind.

In the Mizhou Mansion, Shi Jin said with a straight face: "Hua Rong! This one-state military and political affairs in Michigan is entrusted to you! I hope you will try your best to stabilize Michigan and restore the prosperity of Mizhou as soon as possible! ”

"Don't dare to live up to the marshal's high hopes!" Hua Rong shouted.

"Zhu Gui, I beg you to try your best to find out the news, especially the three places of Beijing, Jiangnan, and Lei Ze. If there is any wind and grass, report it to me immediately! Immediately afterwards, Shi Jin instructed Zhu Gui again.

"Zhu Gui commanded!" Zhu Gui shouted.

After telling the people left behind, in May of the fourth year of Zhenghe, Shi Jin led 15,000 soldiers and horses to set off to attack Laizhou.

Now basically everyone already knows that Liang Shanjun is going to attack Jingdong Road.

Officials in Laizhou, Dengzhou, Qingzhou and other prefectures and counties all paid close attention to Liangshanjun's every move.

When Shi Jin just led the army out of Zhucheng, countless spies reported the news in time.

In the lobby of the Laizhou Mansion, Wang Le of Zhizhou and Fu Chun, the envoy of the Laizhou regiment, discussed.

"How many Liangshan thieves are here?" Laizhou Zhizhou Wang Le asked anxiously.

Fu Chun, the regimental training envoy, replied: "According to the detailed report, more than 15,000 soldiers and horses have come from Liangshan thieves!" ”

Hearing that more than 15,000 soldiers and horses were coming from Liangshan thieves, Zhizhou Wang Le couldn't help but be worried and afraid.

"Then how many officers and soldiers do we have in Laizhou now?" Zhizhou Wang Le asked a key question.

Fu Chun, the regimental training envoy, said in a low voice, "My lord, there are more than 8,000 soldiers and horses on the roster in our state now, but in fact there are only more than 3,000 people, and most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, and they are vulnerable!" ”

Hearing that there were only more than 3,000 soldiers and horses under his rule, Zhizhou suddenly felt a cool breath welling up in his heart.

There are only 3,000 officers and soldiers in Laizhou, not to mention other county seats, and a single city has to guard four city walls, how can this point of soldiers and horses be guarded?

Zhizhou Wang Le swallowed a mouthful of water and asked, "Are you sure to hold it?" ”

The regimental training made Fu Chun dare not answer, and lowered his head.

When Zhizhou saw it, he immediately scolded loudly: "You generals, you will deduct military salaries and eat empty salaries on weekdays." Now that the thieves are coming, you must find a way to recruit people to defend it, otherwise this official will definitely impeach you! ”

Fu Chun scolded in his heart when he heard it, as if you didn't take those empty salaries.

Although he was very annoyed with Zhizhou in his heart, but now that he was a grasshopper on a rope, Fu Chun had to hold back his anger and said, "My lord, it's too late to recruit soldiers now." Tell the court quickly and ask the court to send troops to support! ”

When Zhizhou Wang Le heard this, his eyes turned and he shouted: "Fu Tuan envoy, this official wants to ride a flying horse to report to the imperial court." During the time of your absence, you must keep your duty and guard the city. Otherwise, this official will definitely impeach you! ”

When Fu Chun, the regimental training envoy, heard it, he couldn't help but scold in his heart: Damn, these civil officials are a group of shameless people. When I reached out to ask for money, I didn't see you shouting, and now I turn my face and don't recognize anyone.

The regimental training made Fu Chun unhappy with Zhizhou Wang Le's crossing of the river and demolishing the bridge, but who called him just a regimental training envoy, and the other party was Zhizhou.

No matter how dissatisfied Fu Chun was, he didn't dare to vent it, so he could only shout: "Yes!" Ben got it! ”

Wang Le completely threw the responsibility of defending the city to Fu Chun, and before the Liangshan army came, he ran away with his family and fine silver.

Looking at the back of Wang Le's carriage, Fu Chun's henchman Zhang Cheng shouted: "General, what should we do now." Do you really want to defend the city? ”

Fu Chun scolded: "This little soldier and horse guard a fart, you come to guard it!" ”

Being scolded by Fu Chun, Zhang Cheng was so frightened that he quickly shrank his head and said, "If we don't defend the city, can we still abandon the city and escape?" This is a capital offense! ”

Fu Chun shouted: "Hmph, who said that Ben would abandon the city and flee." Isn't Changyang under siege by thieves? Ben will lead the troops to the rescue! ”

Zhang Cheng heard the puzzled and said, "Is there a thief in Changyang?" I haven't heard of it! ”

Seeing Fu Chun looking at him with cold eyes, Zhang Cheng was suddenly frightened, and immediately reacted and shouted: "Yes, yes, Changyang is now surrounded and suppressed by thieves, and it is in danger, and the general will immediately raise troops to rescue." It's late, it's too late! ”

Seeing the reaction of his henchmen, Fu Chun nodded with satisfaction and said, "Don't go and mobilize soldiers and horses yet!" ”

Zhang Chengmei smiled and said, "The little one is going to mobilize soldiers and horses!" ”

……

When Shi Jin led the army to Yecheng, he saw that the city gate was closed, there was not a single soldier or general in the city, and the banners were all hidden.

Shi Jin was suddenly a little confused, what is this? Is it empty? But the gates are closed? Or did the state officials have another plan?

Shi Jin was unsure for a while, and fell into deep thought.

Seeing such a scene, Sun Xin, who had served as a military general in Dengzhou, Laizhou, and knew the situation in Laizhou, suddenly rolled his eyes.

Sun Li thinks that his ability is no worse than others, and he has his senior brother Luan Yanyu in Liangshan, and he has a cadre of relatives to help him, so his power is not weak.

Seeing that the other leaders were in charge of the soldiers and horses of a state one by one, Sun Li was also warm, and wanted to earn some credit, so that Shi Jin could see his ability, so that he could be in charge of the soldiers and horses of a state.

He stood up and shouted, "Marshal, the last general is willing to lead his troops and horses as the vanguard and attack the city!" ”

Shi Jin saw that Sun Li stood up and was willing to take the lead, and felt that it would be good to let him lead his troops to attack and test the situation in Yecheng.

Shi Jin nodded and said, "Since this is the case, then Brother Sun Li will lead his troops and horses to serve as the vanguard and attack Yecheng." Remember to be careful in case of fraud! ”

Sun Li was immediately furious when he heard this, and shouted loudly: "Get the order!" ”

Sun Li returned to his own camp with a horse cannon, dismounted and shouted: "Brothers, as the saying goes, raise soldiers for a thousand days and use soldiers for a while!" Now is the time for us to perform, follow me! ”

Sun Li rushed to the front, and Sun Li's soldiers followed closely behind him, carrying ladders and other siege equipment to kill the city.

When Sun Li charged, Shi Jin instructed Ling Zhen and Pang Wanchun, "Ling Zhen and Pang Wanchun, you help Brother Sun Li suppress the formation!" ”

"Order!"

Ling Zhen and Pang Wanchun immediately returned to their respective positions and ordered their artillery battalions and bow battalions to pay close attention to the situation at the head of Yecheng. As long as someone's head pops out, it will be suppressed immediately.

The ten artillery pieces and more than fifty catapults all adjusted the range to the city, and the archers ran behind Sun Libu, using bows and arrows to suppress the enemies that appeared on the city at any time.

Until Sun Libu stared at the shield and rushed to the city with the ladder, no Song soldiers appeared on the city, Sun Li hurriedly beckoned his subordinates to set up the ladder and climb up.

This time, the momentum of the Liangshan army's siege of the city was very immense, but the Song soldiers in the city were very uncooperative, and no one came out.

Sun Li easily climbed to the top of the city, took control of the city gate, and captured the western city wall.

Seeing that Sun Li had already controlled the city wall and opened the city gate, Shi Jin waved his hand and led a group of generals into the city with their heads held high.

Although Shi Jin still wanted to test the effect of artillery siege, he didn't expect the Song army in Laizhou to be so uncooperative, which made Shi Jin feel a little regretful.

However, Shi Jin was still very happy to be able to successfully conquer Yecheng without casualties.

When he caught those officials in the city who did not resist, Shi Jin knew that the civil and military officials in the city had run away two days ago!

After successfully taking over Yecheng, Shi Jin shouted to Sun Li: "Brother Sun Li, you lead the soldiers and horses of your headquarters to take down all the counties under the rule of Laizhou!" ”

Sun Li's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he shouted, "The last general will obey the order!" ”

When Sun Li was just about to turn around, Shi Jin suddenly thought of something and said, "Brother Sun Li, when you attack Jiaoshui County, you must be very cautious. That glue Zhixian Zongze is a great talent, and he must not be taken lightly! ”()
