Chapter Forty-Three: Rising Ground (Asking for all kinds of support!) )
Ten miles after sending each other, watching the red sun fall in the west, the sky was already twilight, and the two parted. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Xu Guanzhong saw that Lin Chong valued him so much, not only gave him the same status as Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong in Liu Beijun, but also wanted to inquire about confidential decision-making on the first day of meeting, and there was also a hot current in his chest.
In ancient times, literati paid attention to the death of a confidant, thinking that he was an all-round man in civil and military affairs, but in the end he could only live in seclusion in the mountains, but Lin Chong treated him with sincerity, and he was grateful in his heart.
I saw him turn over and dismount, bow to the ground and say: "The king treats me as a countryman, and I will repay him as a countryman!" The military lord will wait for me for a while, and in the coming day, I will invite two or three acquaintances and friends to join the command and join the great cause together! ”
Lin Chong felt curious, and said in his heart, isn't your friend Yan Qing, you told me that you were going to send Shi Qing to the Daimyo's Mansion for treatment before?
However, after thinking about it, Xu Guanzhong had traveled all over the famous mountains and rivers of the Great Song Dynasty, and had also been to the Khitan and various places of the party to investigate, and he must have made friends along the way.
It seems that he only said that he knew friends two or three times, which was still based on the principle of being good and not too much, and he was too modest.
Lin Chong hurriedly helped him up, and asked who he was, but Xu Guanzhong just didn't say.
Lin Chong was very helpless, and said in his heart, my army master, you are too modest and cautious, and you never say anything if you are not sure.
"Sir, are you going to invite it yourself? Isn't there no one to take care of Lord Lingtang, so why don't you go to Liangshan with us this time? ”
Xu Guanzhong smiled bitterly: "The military master doesn't know, my mother is quite square...... When you are young, you can explain it to your mother......"
Lin Chong understood as soon as he heard it, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the orthodoxy of people in this era is too strong.
So in the original Water Margin story, even though Song Jiang had an army of 100,000, he still wanted to recruit An, which is of course the reason why Song Jiang is an official fan, but more importantly, because of this orthodoxy.
And in this time and space, Wu Song refused to go up the mountain at the beginning, and it was also for this reason that he thought that the Great Song Dynasty was no matter how bad and dark it was, and it also occupied orthodoxy, and no matter how good Liangshan was, it would be difficult to escape a bandit.
Only people at the bottom of society, such as Ruan's Sanxiong, Shi Xiu, and Shi Qian, who have a difficult life and have no way to rise, will not hesitate and even take the initiative to go to Liangshan.
But because of this, the more Lin Chong felt that he was united to fight for these oppressed poor people at the bottom who were about to be unable to live, the more correct it was.
However, the Liangshan Army, which grows and grows, is easy to defeat the officials and soldiers of the imperial court, and it is a long way to go to change this concept in everyone's hearts, and to compete with the Zhao and Song dynasties for the hearts of the people in the world.
Lin Chong had some hope that the Jurchens would come over soon, and he believed that the performance of the Zhao and Song courts at that time would not disappoint him.
After bidding farewell to Xu Guanzhong, Lin Chong hurried back to the campsite, and early in the morning of the second day, he ordered Mei Jiasheng to take two henchmen under Deng Fei and Meng Kang to escort Shi Qing to the Daimyo's Mansion for medical treatment.
Lin Chong continued to lead the troops on the way, and brought the 3,000 people back to Liangshanbo as soon as possible.
After two more days, the team had already left Hebei Road and arrived at the boundary of Jingxi Road.
On this day, it was rare to have a good weather, the wind that had been blowing all the time stopped, and the big sun came out, shining warmly on the body.
is about to return to Liangshan, Lin Chong is also in a very good mood, riding on the horse and talking and laughing with everyone.
"This has reached the boundary of Yanggu County, Yunzhou, Jingdong, military master, where are we going?"
It was Yu Deyuan, one of Bian Xiang's lieutenants, who spoke, and after contact and observation in the past few days, he and Bian Xiang and others were completely convinced by Lin Chong.
First of all, not to mention martial arts, they ripped off their eldest brother Giant Spirit God Bian Xiang in one round, but what they admired the most was the ability of the "Lin Leopard" to command the troops.
This is a real army that is forbidden by order and retreats freely, and the military horses in the cottage before me are like child's play compared to this team!
Several people also felt that since the "Lin Leopard" was willing to accept them, following the capable bastard of "Lin Leopard" was indeed more promising than the original.
Besides, even Bian Xiang was completely convinced, not to mention them.
Seeing that he was about to reach his destination, Lin Chong no longer hid it from them at this time: "Don't hide it from all the brothers, the place we are going to is not far ahead, it is Yunzhou, and Jeju manages a water town, called Eight Hundred Miles of Liangshan Shuibo, and our base camp is there." ”
Lin Chong briefly introduced the topography of Liangshanbo, and several people praised it when they heard it, so they heard Anslong say: "The military master really planned and chose such a good place, with these 800 miles of water as a barrier, how could the officers and soldiers help us?" ”
"The officers and soldiers are a bird!"
Bian Xiang's other lieutenant Ji Wenbing said with a disdainful face: "When we were in Mozhou, we specialized in fighting the official army, and these birds came to attack several times, but they were not killed by us and lost their armor!" ”
Yu Deyuan said: "In my opinion, the military master is going to make a big deal, so he strictly ordered the people to do nothing wrong, and played the banner of doing the right thing for the sky!"
It's just that the unscrupulous monarch and those dog officials who oppress the good would never have thought that we would put up an anti-flag under their noses! ”
The straight-line distance between Liangshan and Bianliang in Tokyo is only more than 300 miles, and if you fast forward by light horse, it will take less than two days, so it can indeed be said that it is right under your nose.
Everyone nodded when they heard this, Ji Wen raised his head, and everyone talked about the corruption and straw wrapping of the Great Song Dynasty official army, and they all laughed continuously for a while.
Lin Chong also interjected from time to time, but he couldn't help but feel some emotion in his heart.
It is said that Hebei Province is close to the front line of the Liao State, and the quality of the army should be better than the army in the interior, even if it is not as good as the Western Army of the Hundred Battles, but the result is just as bad.
The army is arrogant, lax in combat readiness, and has serious empty salaries, and never trains or fails to look at ......
No wonder there are quite handsome talents, Tong Guan, who once pressed the Western Xia to fight, will be defeated again and again, no wonder the Jurchen called Tong Guan will immediately abandon the city and flee, the reason is that the border army in Hebei is too bad.
Just as he was sighing, he suddenly heard a scout Pegasus running over and reported loudly: "Commander, it's not good, the captain Chi Bin who was sent to deliver the letter the day before yesterday is back!" ”
Lin Chong's heart sank, Wei Chibin was one of the 100 students of his Bianliang at the beginning, and the day before yesterday he sent him and another person to Liangshan to deliver a letter, asking General Lu and Ruan Sanxiong to send someone to Liangshan's newly opened Beishan Hotel to greet him.
Why are you back now? And listening to the scout's tone, it was as if something big had happened.
It didn't take long for Wei Chibin to come to Lin Chong under the escort of another scout, and he was already covered in blood with people and horses.
"The military master, his subordinates are incompetent, they couldn't deliver the letter, and Fang Xiaoshan was also arrested......"
Lin Chong's brows furrowed, and he hurriedly helped him off the horse, checked the injury, and saw that it had been simply bandaged and was fine, so he asked, "What's the matter, you speak slowly!" ”
