Chapter 13: Taoguang Cultivation (1)
When Qin Ming was drunk by the many leaders of Liangshan, nearly 3,000 soldiers and horses marched on the official road and were rushing towards Qingzhou City.
Seeing the officers and soldiers coming, the people who were on the official road hid from afar, for fear that the officers and soldiers would rob them.
A group of soldiers and horses dressed in the uniforms of the Great Song Dynasty officers and soldiers marched rapidly for nearly three days, and when they were about to approach Qingzhou City, they slowed down and moved forward slowly.
The officers and soldiers on the west gate of Qingzhou City saw the dust billowing from a distance, and knew that a large group of people and horses were approaching, and the officers and soldiers who stayed behind in Qingzhou were immediately very nervous, and they were all ready to ring the gong and close the city gate at any time.
In the fear of the guards, they saw that the soldiers and horses that came were all dressed in the uniforms of the Great Song Army, and the banner said that it was - Dongping Mansion Soldiers and Horses Supervisor Dong.
Only then did the guards relax their minds, and those who stayed behind shouted loudly from afar: "General Dong, what are you doing in Qingzhou?" ”
Dong Ping, who was riding in front, replied loudly: "Our army has conquered Hujiazhuang and captured countless thieves. The special escort prisoner came to deliver it to Lord Murong Zhizhou! ”
The guard also knew that Qin Ming led the soldiers and horses of Qingzhou and Jeju to jointly attack Liangshan, and then asked the soldiers and horses of Dongping Mansion to send troops to attack Hujiazhuang and respond to Qin Ming.
I heard Dong Ping say that General Qin Ming had conquered Hujiazhuang and captured countless thieves. They all shouted, "Is there a warrant?" ”
"Yes!"
Soon Dong Ping asked a henchman to send his command to the city gate, and when he saw that it was indeed the soldier of the Dongping Mansion's soldiers and horses, he confirmed that it was an officer and soldier, and hurriedly shouted, "Open the door, let go!" ”
Dong Ping saw that the horse rejection cones at the city gate had been moved away by Qingzhou officers and soldiers, and sneered and asked his subordinates to enter the city.
When the officers and soldiers of Dongping Mansion walked into the city gate quickly, almost all the three thousand soldiers and horses entered the city gate.
Dong Ping shouted, "Do it!" ”
Dong Ping shouted the order, and the Liangshan soldiers hidden in it took the lead in making a move, pulling out their broadswords and cutting down the Qingzhou officers and soldiers on both sides of the city gate to guard the city gate.
After the city gate was controlled, the soldiers of the Liangshan army shouted loudly while rushing to the head of the city: "We are the heroes of Liangshan, the army of Qin and Ming has been defeated, and Qingzhou City has been conquered by us." Those who descend will not be killed! ”
"We are the heroes of Liangshan, the army of Qin Ming has been defeated, and Qingzhou City has been conquered by us. Those who descend will not be killed! ”
"We are the heroes of Liangshan, the army of Qin Ming has been defeated, and Qingzhou City has been conquered by us. Those who descend will not be killed! ”
……
Three thousand people shouted in unison, and basically the people of Qingzhou City heard that the gang of thieves in Liangshan had arrived in Qingzhou!
For a time, Qingzhou City fell into chaos, and the people hurriedly ran home, resisting the doors and windows with horizontal wooden heavy objects, for fear that the thieves would rush into the house and kill them indiscriminately.
Although the reputation of Liangshan's gang of thieves is not bad, who knows if this gang is really Liangshan bandits.
What's more, who knows if those people really don't kill or rob as rumored.
It's better to stay at home honestly!
Qin Ming attacked Liangshan, transferred 2,000 soldiers from the counties under the jurisdiction of Qingzhou, and also took 3,000 soldiers and horses from Qingzhou City.
There are now less than 2,000 soldiers in Qingzhou City, and many of them are old, weak, sick and disabled.
The Great Song Dynasty emphasized literature and light military force, and the military generals were inferior to civil officials. Not to mention this soldier, the forbidden army is not bad, although it is raised by the stepmother, but in the end there is food and clothing.
This soldier has no mother, not to mention the treatment, and the work is all dirty and tiring.
This is called where the soldiers are willing to die!
Hearing that the Liangshan bandits had entered the city, the officers and soldiers who stayed behind did not resist at the first time, they screamed and turned around and ran.
The officers and soldiers fled without resistance, and the Liangshan army took control of the four city gates very smoothly.
Leaving 1,500 people to guard the city gate, the remaining more than 1,000 Liangshan soldiers went to the yamen, treasury and other important departments of the city gate.
Murong Zhizhou heard at first that Qin Ming had lived up to his expectations, and led people to conquer Liangshan and capture a group of thieves.
He was full of joy and went to the city gate in a sedan chair to greet Dong Ping in person.
Sitting on the sedan chair, Murong Zhizhou was thinking about conquering Liangshan this time and catching the thief who snatched the Birth Gang, just in time to invite credit to Taishi Cai.
Cai Taishi is a powerful minister of the court, if he can catch his line, then his sister will have something to rely on in the court, if he gives birth to a dragon and has the support of Cai Taishi, there is hope for that position.
At that time, he will be the uncle of the country, with the support of the queen mother and nephew, who dares to be disrespectful to himself!
When Murong Zhizhou was sitting in a sweet dream, there was a sudden thunder on the ground. I only heard the whole city shouting: "We are the heroes of Liangshan, the army of Qin Ming has been defeated, and Qingzhou City has been conquered by us." Those who descend will not be killed! ”
Murong Yanda couldn't believe his ears.
Qin Ming was defeated, and the gang of thieves in Liangshan conquered Qingzhou City!!
Before he could come back to his senses, he suddenly felt his body empty, and then he fell to the ground so hard that his ass was about to break in half.
When the porter saw that Liang Shanjun was killed, where could he take care of Lord Murong Zhizhou, the two of them were so frightened that they dropped the sedan chair, turned around and ran.
Not to mention the porter, the accompanying officials have all run away.
When Murong Yanda endured the pain and got up, he saw countless people holding knives and guns at him.
Looking at the cold blade, Murong Yanda was so frightened that as soon as he got up, he immediately threw himself on the ground and shouted in horror: "Don't kill me, don't kill me." I'm an official of the imperial court, Lord Qingzhou Zhizhou, the elder brother of the current saint, kill me, the saint will definitely send troops to arrest you, the ...... of the three clans."
In order to survive, Murong Yanda begged to go around while intimidating the soldiers of Liangshan.
Shi Jin, with the support of Dong Ping, Zhu Wu, Wu Yong and other leaders, walked in from the encirclement of the Liangshan army.
Shi Jin looked at Murong Yanda, who couldn't help trembling in horror, lowered his head and asked, "You are Murong Yanda?" ”
Dong Ping glanced at Murong Yanda with disdain, and said to Shi Jin: "He is Murong Zhizhou!" ”
Although he didn't know Shi Jin, seeing that the person in front of him was supported by so many people, Murong Yanda knew that the person in front of him must be in a high position in Liangshan.
He hurriedly kowtowed and said, "A good man spares his life, a good man spares his life, as long as the hero can let the villain go." I will give you silver and gold. Yes, lots and lots of gold and silver jewelry! Guarantee you a lifetime of glory and wealth......"
Shi Jin said disdainfully when he heard it, "It's funny, now that Qingzhou City has been conquered by us, all the treasures in your mansion now belong to me." Still need you to deliver it? Someone comes, send this person to prison, and interrogate him on a later day! ”
"Yes, Big Boss!" Several of his subordinates hurriedly stepped forward to drag Murong Yanda, who couldn't stop struggling and begging for mercy, and locked him in the prison car.
The city gate was controlled, and the governor of Qingzhou was arrested, although there were still some piecemeal resistance in the city, but Qingzhou City could be said to have been conquered by itself.
Shi Jin shouted to the leaders: "After the order, I, Liangshan, will do the right thing for the heavens, and only kill the corrupt official Murong Yanda, and not allow the people to be harassed." Anyone who dares to disobey the order and burn and kill the plunderers will be killed! ”
"Yes, big brother!" Many leaders roared in unison.
The officers and soldiers of the former Dongping Mansion saw that several Liangshan soldiers took advantage of the chaos to rob the silverware of a silver shop, and were caught by the military judge accompanying the army and killed in front of the shopkeeper.
Even the soldiers of the Liangshan Army were killed correctly, and the officers and soldiers of the former Dongping Mansion were even more frightened, and they were so frightened that they hurriedly threw the things in their arms on the ground.
In less than half a day, the four gates of Qingzhou City were approaching, and the soldiers of the Liangshan Army replaced the officers and soldiers to patrol around the city. If the ruffians dare to take advantage of the troubled waters to fish, burn, kill and rob.
Even his own brother was killed when he committed a crime. These ruffians and hooligans, where will the military judge be soft-hearted, if they are caught, they will all be killed!
Under the severe punishment of the Liangshan army, Qingzhou City soon regained its calm.
Except for the patrols of the Liangshan Army, there was not even a dog on the street.
Shi Jin sat in the middle of the lobby of the mansion, and under the hall were a group of leaders.
Jiang Jing was still busy with the storage and deployment of post-war materials in Liangshan, and did not come to Qingzhou with the army this time.
Zhu Wu and Wu used two military advisors to help count the supplies.
Qingzhou has been a rich place since Jiang Taigong was divided into Qi countries, and Jiang Taigong took advantage of fish and salt.
Qingzhou was easily conquered, and as soon as it was captured, Shi Jin ordered someone to control the treasury, and all the materials in the arsenal and silver treasury now belonged to Liangshan.
170,000 loads of grain, 60,000 taels of silver, 5,000 pieces of cloth, 3,000 spears, 1,000 armors, 800 broadswords, 400 bows, and more than 200 good horses......
As Zhu Wu read out the supplies in Qingzhou one by one, the eyes of the leaders present lit up.
This is a fortune!
With these materials, the Liangshan army can grow again!
Many leaders are calculating in their hearts how much they can get from these to expand their men.
Shi Jin listened to Zhu Wu's report and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
As long as Liangshan guards Shuibo, although it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is a mountain in the end, with a small population and a lack of materials.
Where is it compared to Shangqingzhou, there must be people and people, and there must be materials and materials.
Now that Qingzhou City has been occupied, the Fuzhisu City of Dongping Mansion has also been captured by Yang Zhi, and he has two cities in his hands.
Do you want to officially raise the banner against the Song Dynasty?
Wu Hao, who had been observing Shi Jin, seemed to know Shi Jin's thoughts, and when Zhu Wu finished reading the list of supplies, he stepped forward and said, "Big brother has now taken the two cities of Qingzhou and Xucheng. Moreover, there are no officers and soldiers on the ground in Cheongju and Jeju who can resist our Yangsan soldiers and horses. It can be said that both states are in the pocket of the big brother. And our Liangshan army is strong and heroic, and it is fully capable of capturing Yanzhou, and when the three states are connected, Liangshan's strength will be greatly increased. It's just that Wu Yong wants to persuade the eldest brother to give up Qingzhou City and Xucheng, return to Liangshan Taoguang to raise obscurity, and accumulate strength, which is the best policy! ”
Shi Jin was stunned when he heard this, this Wu Yong has always wanted to be the second Zhuge .
And it was clearly said that the Liangshan army had the strength to capture Yanzhou and expand its territory, so how could he persuade himself to give up the city and retreat to Liangshan?
