Chapter 156: Into the Mountain
When Cao Fang heard Shi Jin surrender himself, he immediately shouted angrily: "In the name of benevolence and righteousness, you rebelled and invaded the county seat of Jiaolu. The scourge of the magistrate was forced to flee, and he still wanted me to take refuge. Phew! ”
Shi Jin's face changed when he heard this, his eyes widened, and he shouted angrily: "Do you really think that I won't kill you?" ”
Seeing Shi Jin's angry appearance, Cao Fang was scared, but he still shouted strongly: "If you want to kill me, don't be verbose, do it quickly." But there is Cao Fang with a severed head, and there is no Cao Fang who surrenders on his knees!
When Shi Jin saw it, he admired it in his heart, he was a loyal and righteous man.
Shi Jin hurriedly recovered his indifferent smile and said, "General Cao is so bold. I'm a little offended by my words, no wonder! ”
Cao Fang looked at Shi Jin, not knowing what he was trying to do, so he was silent and didn't speak.
Shi Jin didn't care, he said: "Look at your clothes, you should be the county lieutenant of this county." You are also a member of the army, and you should know how the imperial court treats military generals and soldiers. The imperial court is so heavy on literature and light on military force, and treats us martial artists harshly. Are you willing? What kind of life do you see your men are living? What did they get in exchange for shedding their blood for the imperial court? Is it worth it to serve such a court? ”
Cao Fang heard Shi Jin's words and fell into deep thought.
How did the imperial court treat these soldiers, and how could Cao Fang not know.
On the other hand, the Liangshan Army, in the past few days of fighting, Cao Fang is extremely impressed by the combat effectiveness of the Liangshan Army. Today, I saw that Shi Jin let go of the enemy general without saying a word, and afterwards he did not blame the general who was captured by himself, but comforted him with kind words.
In this way, Cao Fang has a good impression of Liang Shanjun and Shi Jin, and thinks it is good to take refuge in such a person.
It's just that......
After a while, Cao Fang sighed, raised his head and said, "I'm afraid that I, Cao Fang, will lose the value of the master of the village." It's not that Cao doesn't know how to lift, Cao Fang can't control what this court is, but Master Zong is as kind to Cao Fang. As long as Master Zong does not die one day, I, Cao Fang, will never turn my back on him and take refuge in you! ”
When Shi Jin heard it, he couldn't help but sigh.
In such a situation, this Cao Fang is still so loyal to Zong Ze.
Such a faithful person is a worthy person. It's a pity that he is now bent on repaying Zong Ze, and resolutely refuses to surrender, which makes Shi Jin a little disappointed.
On the other hand, he can let so many people serve him, which shows how powerful that Zong Ze is.
If only such a person could work for me!
Shi Jin shook his head, and after dispelling all those regrets, he said: "It's a pity that I can't get the help of a loyal person like General Cao, but it's a big regret for Shi Jin!" That's it, General Cao, let's go! ”
Cao Fang shouted with some surprise when he heard it: "Do you really want to let me go and not kill me?" ”
Shi Jin shouted amusedly, "What's the good of killing you." If you talk about your skills alone, you will be at an ordinary level. I have a lot of people like you, and I don't even look at them. All I value is your loyalty. Since you refuse to surrender, I also promise to let you go, and naturally I will not embarrass you! ”
Cao Fang heard the other party say that his skills were mediocre, and he knew that what the opponent said was the truth, but being exposed by Shi Jin still made Cao Fang a little unhappy. He arched his hand and shouted: "Lord Shi Zhai's kindness today, he will be rewarded by Cao Mou in the future!" ”
Shi Jin shouted with a smile: "No! No! No! You won't have the whole chance. And I promise I'll catch you again next time. At that time, Shi Jin will no longer show mercy to his subordinates. You guys do it for yourselves! ”
When Cao Fang heard Shi Jin's confident appearance, he snorted dissatisfiedly and shouted, "We'll see." Leave! ”
When Cao Fang turned around and wanted to leave, Shi Jin suddenly shouted, "Slow! ”
Cao Fang turned around and sneered when he heard this: "What? Shi Zhai mainly repented! ”
Shi Jin shook his head and said, "General Cao, don't misunderstand. Shi just wants you to help me bring a sentence to Zongzhi County. Tell him that I, Shi Jin, admire him very much. As long as he is willing to assist me, I am willing to treat him as a teacher! ”
To treat him as a teacher is to promise that as long as Zong Ze takes refuge in Shi Jin, he Shi Jin will respect and honor him like a master.
Heaven and Earth Monarch Teacher!
You know, as long as Shi Jin's rebellion succeeds. He Zong Ze can immediately hold a position such as Taishi, which is a position above 10,000 people under one person.
Moreover, Shi Jin is respected as a teacher, and Zong Ze will also be respected as an emperor.
Even Shi Jin's son, as long as he has not ascended the throne and claimed the emperor, must be respectful to Zong Ze.
Cao Fang was stunned when he heard that Shi Jin valued Zong Ze so much. He opened his mouth a few times, and finally could only shout, "I will relay your words to Master Zong!" ”
Cao Fang walked down the city and saw that the soldiers of the Liangshan army really did not embarrass him. Cao Fang looked back at Glue City and quickly ran in the direction of Zong Ze's escape.
……
Zong Ze took the remnants of the soldiers and walked all the way, away from Glue City.
I walked straight for thirty or forty miles until I reached the foot of a mountain.
Escaping here, separated from the Liangshan Army so far, it should be safe for the time being. After Zong Ze sent dozens of spies from afar to monitor, he ordered the whole army to rest.
These remnants of the van soldiers had been fighting for a night, and now they had been marching for half a day, and they were already tired.
Now hearing Zong Ze shouting to stop the army and rest, these soldiers immediately sat on the ground and gasped for breath. Many people even lie on the ground on the spot, and after a while, they get up loud and sleep very sweetly.
When the soldiers eat food, and the battle is fought to this extent, they are already worthy of the court and those soldiers!
If it weren't for Zong Ze's prestige, these soldiers would have fled when the Liangshan army attacked the city, and maybe they would have turned around and joined the Liangshan army.
They had long heard that the Liangshan Army's military salaries were very good, and they were distributed on time, and they were never deductible.
This made these soldiers who only received a meager salary very envious.
Zong Ze sat on a stone to rest, and when he heard the loud humming around him, he smiled bitterly.
If it was usual, maybe he was already scolding these men, but now he couldn't blame them.
Not to mention that his life was saved by these people's desperate efforts, they also tried their best to defend the city this time. They really can't be blamed for the fall of the city, the soldiers of the Liangshan Army are too strong.
Thinking of yesterday's glue battle, Zong Ze couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
The heroic appearance of those Liangshan bandits when they fought made Zong Ze always remember in his heart.
It's amazing! It's tough!
If it weren't for Cao Fang's luck at the last moment, he caught one of the other party's leaders alive and used the righteousness of the thief leader Shi Jin to let go of his own people.
Zong Ze knew that none of his people could escape from the city.
Zong Ze has always had the ideological ambition of saving the country and the people, and has always been very concerned about the current situation.
Now the imperial court is sending a decent army to exterminate the local area in the south of the Yangtze River, which gives Liangshan a chance to grow. In a short period of time, I am afraid that the imperial court will not be able to send troops to exterminate the Liangshan bandits.
How to solve these thieves and share the worries of the court?
When Zong Ze was thinking about how to deal with these thieves, Li Ping, the head of the Ma army sitting next to him, handed over a bamboo tube and shouted, "My lord, drink saliva!" ”
"Thank you!" Zong Ze took a few sips of water, handed it back to him, and asked, "Here and where?" ”
Li Ping looked up and said, "My lord, this is Hu Jiading." My lord, now that we've escaped, should we go inside? Is it to retreat to Dengzhou, or to Qingzhou? ”
Zong Ze pondered for a moment and shouted, "No, we're not going anywhere." Just stay in the glue! ”
Li Ping shouted in surprise when he heard it: "What? What do you mean by your lordship that we continue to stay in Glue County? But now that those bandits have occupied the county, where can we stay? ”
Zong Ze shouted with a firm gaze: "Now the imperial court is going all out to *** Fang La in the south, and it can't take a step to deal with this gang of thieves." will let them be so arrogant and violate Jingdong East Road. As long as the imperial court pacifies the south, it will be the day when these thieves will perish. The old man must stay in the glue, try his best to delay them, and wait for the arrival of the imperial army. ”
Li Ping heard a bitter shout: "My lord, we only have these soldiers and horses left now. How can you afford to delay those thieves? ”
Zong Ze shouted resolutely: "Don't worry, the old man won't let you go to the mantis arm as a car and kill yourself." The old man already has an idea! ”
When Li Ping heard this, he shouted helplessly and firmly: "Anyway, the lives of our people are given by adults, and the adults want to do what the small ones do, and the small ones can do what they do!" ”
Zong Ze shouted: "Okay, let the men rest for two hours, and then we will enter the mountain!" By the way, remember to send someone to leave a mark everywhere to see if you can get in touch with Captain Cao. ”
……
Zong Ze entered the mountain with the remnants of the army.
Those spies searched for a day but couldn't find any trace of Zong Ze and them, so they had no choice but to come back and ask for their guilt.
In the Yazheng Hall of Jiao County, Wu Song reported to Shi Jinyu: "Marshal, Glue City is under the control of our army, and the four gates have been guarded by our sergeants!" ”
"Well done!" Shi Jin then asked Zhu Wudao: "Wu Song, what is the situation in the city now?" How did the people react? ”
Zhu Wu replied in a deep voice: "Marshal, there were still a lot of people making trouble at the beginning. But after hearing that Zhixian Zongze was safely let go by you. Those people have settled down a lot, and now the order is relatively stable. As for whether they will make trouble in the future, it is not clear for the time being. However, this Zongze has been managing glue for many years and has a high prestige. In my opinion, it may take a little more time to get the glue people to join the marshal! ”
Shi Jin nodded and said, "However, no matter how difficult it is, I will do it." Only when the people support and accept us can we gain a firm foothold in glue. Zhu Wu, implement the new law as soon as possible, let the people know and appreciate our benefits, and win the hearts and minds of the people. ”
Zhu Wu nodded and said, "My subordinates understand that they will send someone to implement it as soon as possible!" ”
Shi Jin asked, "Have you found the traces of those people in Zong Ze?" ”
Zhu Gui arched his hand and shouted to Shi Jin: "Back to Marshal, those people have fled into the mountains, and their subordinates can't find them anywhere!" The subordinates are incompetent, and please punish the marshal! ”
When Shi Jin heard this, he covered his forehead and said: "Most of Zong Ze's subordinates are locals, and they are more familiar with the terrain than us, plus they only have less than two hundred people. It's not surprising that you can't find it for a while. Intensify your search, and make sure they find out! ”
"My subordinates understand!" Zhu Gui shouted.
"Well, that's right. You quickly send men to spread the news that our army has captured the glue. He also went to Laiyang to inform Sun Li that Jiaoshui County had been taken down, and asked him to take over all the counties near Laizhou as soon as possible. Tell him that I don't want to hear any more about his defeat because of the enemy! ”
"Yes, Marshal!"
In order to spread the news of the capture of Glue City as soon as possible, Zhu Gui filmed several waves of people riding along the road to publicize, and went straight to Yecheng, Linyi and other state capitals.
Near dusk, a fast horse galloped to the city of Yecheng, the capital of Laizhou.
The soldiers defending the city were about to come forward to stop them, but immediately the cavalry held up a sign from a distance and shouted: "Good news!" The marshal has conquered the glue! ”
When the gatekeeper heard this, he immediately got out of the way, and the cavalry did not stop, but rode his horse and galloped towards the city, shouting loudly as he ran. "Good news! The marshal has conquered the glue ......"
"The marshal has captured the glue, and it's only been a few days?" One soldier whispered to another.
"That is, there is a marshal who personally goes out to fight, where can a county town resist and live!" The man said proudly.
"Of course, the marshal is invincible, who in the world is his opponent!" Other soldiers also exclaimed
In the Yecheng Prefecture Mansion, Lu Zhishen touched his bald head and asked, "Master Liu, how is the matter of buying grain and grass from those landlords and wealthy families?" ”
Zhu Wu followed Shi Jin in and out of the glue, and now the main local government affairs in Laizhou are entrusted to Shi Jinxin to appoint the landlord Bo Liu Shang to be responsible.
"General, just now Cangsi sent back the news that the Wang family has refused to promise to provide a batch of grain and grass for our army!" Liu Shang arched his hand and said.
Lu Zhishen shouted angrily when he heard this: "These bastards, they used to befriend us Liangshan in every possible way, but now they see the defeat of our army, so they have many excuses. Master Liu, you go and tell those people, if they dare to talk about it, Lao Tzu will take the troops to get it! ”
Although Liu Shang is a member of the Liu family, he is only a side branch. Now that he can be the master, he really wants to make a career to revitalize his family.
Hearing Lu Zhishen shouting that he wanted to lead the troops to ask for it directly, Liu Shang hurriedly persuaded: "No, General Lu." Now we still need their support to stabilize the stability of Laizhou, and we still need to appease them for the time being. During this time, those few companies did everything possible to refuse, just to see that our army was not going well. As long as the marshal leads the troops to defeat Zong Ze, take the glue. Then those people will automatically come to the door to ask for sin! General Lu, please be calm and wait for the marshal's news with peace of mind! ”
"Yes!" Lu Zhishen just has a bad personality, and he is not stupid. He heard Liu Shang's persuasion, and knew that what he said was reasonable, so he asked with a slight bow: "Master Liu, is there any news from the marshal?" ”
"Not yet! However, the marshals have been on the march for four or five days. I'm sure there will be good news coming back soon! Don't worry, generals, the marshal uses his troops like a god, and there will be no obstacles! Liu Shang replied with a smile.
"What Master Liu said is true! With the marshal's ability, a mere glue is not a problem! Lu Zhishen patted his head and shouted.
As if to confirm Lu Zhishen's words, an excited shout quickly came from far and near towards the government office.
"Good news, the marshal has conquered the glue!" ()
