Drive, drive~

On the official road in the north of Yingzhou, a knight came quickly, whipped the horse under the crotch with a whip, although the horse was out of breath and exhausted, he could not stand the fierce whipping of the rider on horseback, so he had to continue to run forward desperately.

From Xiangcheng to the north of Wanshou, it is nearly two hundred miles, and the horse gallops all the way, and there is almost no stop on the road, and the horse obviously can't hold on.

Xi Yu Yu~

Suddenly, the rider on horseback pulled the reins, and the horse let out a violent neigh, stopped abruptly, and then slowly fell down again.

The horse had reached the point of collapse, and suddenly stopped, unable to hold on any longer, and completely collapsed.

The rider on the horseback hurriedly turned over, jumped off the horse, drew a long knife, pointed it at the man who stopped in front of the horse, and scolded angrily: "Straight lady thief, are you looking for death? ”

The man who stood in the way, who was half-lying on the ground drinking, heard the rider scolding, slowly stood up, and looked at the man with a smile.

The rider continued to scold, and after seeing the man's face clearly, the long knife in his hand fell to the ground, and his expression was surprised and delighted: "Wear the leader!" ”

The man was about thirty years old, with a Chinese face, a steady and resolute expression, and a medium stature, but a pair of thick and long legs, a wine gourd on his waist, and a short knife hanging, and his expression was very leisurely.

The Dai leader looked solemn and asked in a deep voice, "Why is it so urgent?" ”

The rider hurriedly took out an open fire paint secret letter from his bosom, and said urgently: "Leader Lu fell into the tricks of the dog officers and soldiers in Yingshui, 40,000 soldiers and horses were scattered, and Leader Lu and the other six leaders were captured by the enemy. ”

When the leader heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked: "Even Brother Lu has been arrested, this dog officer and soldier are so powerful!" ”

He took the secret letter, and after reading it in a hurry, his expression changed greatly, and he immediately said to the man: "I will send a letter to your brothers in Wanshou City first, and you will come later." ”

After speaking, he put the secret letter in his bosom and walked south.

The rider looked at the distant back of the leader, and could not help but be stunned, only to see that the man had only reached a mile or two away in the blink of an eye, and was as fast as a galloping horse.

After a long time, he muttered to himself: "I heard that Leader Dai can travel eight hundred miles a day, which may be a bit exaggerated, but at this speed, it is not a problem to travel two or three hundred miles a day." ”

If Zhao Hao was here, he would probably praise ", this guy can win the marathon championship!" ”

……

Yingzhou, Wanshou City.

Above the city tower, two large flags are fluttering, hunting and hunting against the river breeze blowing from the Natz River, and the big characters on the flags are faintly visible.

"Shandong Hubaoyi".

"Walk for the heavens".

The school field in the city is a scene of slaughter.

A group of soldiers in different costumes, waving various banners, stood solemnly in the school yard, although the costumes were not uniform, and the weapons were varied, they were also neatly arrayed.

They "took Liangshanbo as a base, rampaged through Heshuo, Jingdong, and Jingxi, and even reached Huainan Road, and the officers and soldiers were invincible." It is also the invincible male division described in "Water Margin" that Pingjiang Nanla, Hebei Tianhu, and Huaixi Wang Qing defeated Tong Guan and Gao Yu and broke through Liao and Jin.

It's just that the romance is the romance after all, and this soldier and horse still can't get rid of the breath of farmers and fishermen, although the array is neat, it lacks the sharpness and murderous spirit of the Western Army and even the Beijing Forbidden Army after all.

Especially the news of Lu Junyi's defeat from Xiangcheng was undoubtedly a fatal blow to the morale of this military horse. Because Lu Junyi is not only the second leader of the Liangshan Army, but also the invincible god of war in the minds of all Liangshan soldiers.

Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, the problem is that the second leader of Lu was not only defeated, except for Zhu Wu, who was spared, the rest of the main generals were either killed or captured, which shows how fierce the officers and soldiers who came this time were!

In the school field, although the people and horses are neatly arranged, there is no sound, but behind the murderous atmosphere of the army, there is a little more dead silence.

Outside the school field, the sound of hooves of the two riders was audible, and they were slowly galloping towards the school field.

Immediately, the two of them were wearing battle armor and fiery red cloaks, and the man on the right leaned back a little and dropped half a horse's head to show respect for the general in front. Dozens of brave generals followed closely behind, and they were obviously the main generals of Liangshan.

The first two people in front, the general on the left, are short in stature, about one meter six, with a dark complexion, if it weren't for the pair of lying silkworm eyebrows, plus a pair of bright eyes, I really can't see the majesty of the main general.

This person is the leader of the Liangshan Army, known as Hei Saburo, Timely Rain, and Song Jiang who calls for Baoyi!

The person on the right, but he was born with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, white face and beard, if it weren't for the thin armor, he would be a showman who rushed to take the exam, and it was the third person in Liangshan, Wu Yong, the military advisor.

The group of generals behind them are different, there are fierce and evil people, there are those who have tigers and bears, there are those who are dignified, and there are those who have thieves and rat eyes.

The most surprising thing is that there is a female general, born with snow-white skin, beautiful eyebrows, and slender waist, but the chest is towering like a mountain, even if it is a chain chain armor, it can't be covered, carrying double knives, heroic, and the appearance and style are similar to Liang Hongyu and Fang Baihua.

Song Jiang's face was full of gloom, and he said slowly: "That dog officer Zhao Hao, send someone to me to send a war letter, and ask me to send troops to Xiangcheng for a decisive battle within ten days, otherwise I will execute Leader Lu and other brothers on the spot, I don't know what the military advisor has?" ”

Wu Yong sighed slightly and said: "The official army is the main force of the forbidden army of the Beijing Division, and the soldiers are well-armoured, far from being comparable to the ordinary van army; And its deputy commander is known as the small breed of the master, this person has great military achievements, the northwest shock, the Qiang people heard the name of the breeder and changed color; There is also the son of the sect, Zhao Hao, although he has only been in the office for one year, but he has the power of the world, first has the merit of making gold, and recently he has solved the disaster in the west of Beijing with his own strength, and he did not hesitate to risk the disapproval of the world, and resolutely killed one hundred and nine corrupt officials in the west of Beijing, and then he was safe and sound, this person should not be underestimated! ”

Song Jiang's face changed slightly, and he asked, "Then according to the opinion of the military advisor?" ”

Wu Yong sighed slightly: "The thief army is powerful, but it can't be attacked!" Now that the Northern Expedition is imminent, if we don't retreat to Shuibo, it will not be able to attack for a long time, and the food and grass will inevitably be lost, and then the financial resources in the north will be tight, so we will naturally retreat! ”

Song Jiang's expression became more and more displeased, and he asked in a deep voice, "Isn't that just watching Leader Lu and the brothers of the family being killed?" ”

Wu Yong smiled bitterly: "This is the middle policy, and there are still upper and lower strategies." ”

Song Jiang's eyes lit up and asked, "How is the best strategy?" ”

Wu Yongdao: "The best policy...... Zhao Hao, the son of the sect, is very benevolent and virtuous in eliminating violence, and is very benevolent and virtuous, if we are willing to accept Zhao'an, we will definitely not be treated badly, and Leader Lu and others do not have to worry about being killed. ”

Song Jiang was silent, looked back at the generals behind him, shook his head gloomily and said, "I don't want to recruit An, but I'm afraid it's not time to recruit An." What's more, Zhao Hao killed several brothers, and the brothers only thought about revenge, how could they be willing to recruit An? ”

Wu Yong's expression also dimmed, and he gritted his teeth and said: "In this way, there is only one way to fight!" ”

"What about the next step?"

"The soldiers are divided into two routes: one is that Chai Daguan led 40,000 troops, set off from Wanshou City, played the banner of his brother, and slowly marched towards Xiangcheng to attract the attention of the enemy; All the way from the waterway, a few days ago robbed the merchant ships of Huang Wenhu in Huaixi, plus the merchant ships of other families, together you can get more than 100 ships, one can carry 100 people, we can select 10,000 soldiers, play the banner of Huang Wenhu Food Gang, deceive the officers and soldiers along the way checkpoints and ears and eyes, all the way to Yingshui, day and night, about five or six days can arrive near Xiangcheng, then take advantage of the night to land, attack Xiangcheng at night, kill the thief army by surprise! ”

Song Jiang looked overjoyed, and then asked suspiciously: "This is really a wonderful plan, but even if we touch the gate of Xiangcheng at night, we don't have siege equipment, how can we attack the city gate?" ”

Wu Yong said: "The moats around Xiangcheng have been filled in by the Qin leaders, the drawbridge has also been burned, and the city gate in the north has been broken by the official and military rushing vehicles, and now it has been repaired in a hurry, and its strength is far less than that of the other gates." Our army is accompanied by Leader Ling, and with more thunderstorms, we will definitely be able to blow open the city gate and then take the opportunity to enter. Let a few brothers blend into the city beforehand, and once they hear the sound of cannons, they will set fire to the city, so that the inside and the outside should be combined, and the city will be destroyed! ”

When Song Jiang heard this, he couldn't help but smile: "Wonderful, this plan of the military advisor is really wonderful!" ”

After speaking, he waved his hand: "Let's go, go to the stage!" ”

……

Xiangcheng.

Zhao Hao and the two of them walked side by side, patrolling all the way through the streets of Xiangcheng, followed by Yang Keshi, Han Shizhong and other generals.

The two chatted quietly as they navigated the streets.

Zhao Hao said: "I heard that Song Jiang set out his troops in Wanshou City, vowing to fight to the death with this commander, and now he has led nearly 50,000 soldiers and horses out of the city, looking at Xiangcheng to come, I don't know what the old general has to say?" ”

The planter frowned slightly, and said slowly: "As soon as the thief army received the letter, they poured out of the nest, but it was too intense...... Could it be that they thieves call themselves heroes, and the atmosphere of the rivers and lakes is really so strong? ”

Zhao Hao asked, "Could the old general suspect that there is fraud in it?" ”

The seed master shook his head, his face was extremely solemn, and said: "The Liangshan thief generals are mostly bandits who gather in the mountains and forests, strongmen who block roads and cut paths, evil bandits who kill people without blinking, and death row prisoners who abscond in fear of crime...... It's just that I heard that Wu Yong, the military master of the Liangshan Bandit Army, is quite strategic, how can he be so reckless? ”

Without waiting for Zhao Hao to answer, Yang Keshi behind him suddenly said: "I'm afraid that even if Wu Yong is the reincarnation of Zhuge Liang, he can't stop Liu Bei who wants to avenge Guan Yu, haha......"

The planter couldn't help but wonder: "There is some truth in it." ”

Han Shizhong laughed: "That son is Lu Xun who burned the camp of the hundred miles company." ”

When Fang Baihua heard this, he immediately stopped: "How can Lu Xun be compared to my son-in-law!" ”

In Fang Baihua's eyes, Zhao Hao was going to become the emperor of the Ninety-Five Supreme sooner or later, and Lu Xun was just a minister when he died, so naturally he couldn't compare with Zhao Hao.

Naturally, everyone didn't think about it so much, they just looked at each other and smiled, and the smile was quite ambiguous.

Zhao Hao smiled, didn't speak, just turned his head silently, and glanced at the side of the street inadvertently.

At that moment, suddenly a black shadow flashed from the roof next to the street.

Zhao Hao's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly clicked on a clairvoyant talisman and looked towards the place where the black shadow had gone.

I saw a thin figure as a monkey, leaping like a fly on the roof next to the street, and in the blink of an eye, it was already a few hundred meters away.

Zhao Hao hurriedly inquired about the person's attributes, and this check was not tight, which shocked Zhao Hao's face to change greatly.

"The city has been mixed with thieves and spies, and the whole city is under martial law, carefully investigated!"
