Lin Chong hurriedly bowed his hands one by one, thinking in his heart that among the five people, Ou Peng was a generalist.

Guarding the Dajiang military family, the water quality should not be bad, and he is a cottage brother, and his leadership ability is not bad, and it is okay to bring a battalion of water army; Sturdy, walking like flying, with a battalion of infantry; Horse battles can be tied with Hu Sanniang, and it is also possible to bring a battalion of horse troops.

However, now Liangshan does not have so many horses, and Ou Peng's horse war is not very good, so it is better to let him bring a battalion of water army or infantry army, and then assign Ma Lin to him as a deputy general.

Jiang Jing and Tao Zongwang can be regarded as special skilled talents, Jiang Jing can be assigned to Gao Yu as a deputy, in charge of the money and grain on the mountain, Tao Zongwang is good at building city walls, so he set up an engineering battalion for him to command.

As for this Guo Sheng, in fact, in addition to being handsome, his martial arts were not very good at the beginning, but fortunately, he was young and had good growth, so let him be Lu Fang's deputy first, and leave it for later observation.

But it was said that on the side of the Liangshan Army, not only did Wu Song come back, but also brought back nine heroes at once, which was naturally a great joy.

Although there was no way to hold a big feast because of the war, Lin Chong still did his best to hold a welcome meeting that night, and celebrated warmly, and the atmosphere of joy permeated the entire barracks.

On the contrary, the city of Yunzhou is gloomy, and the new governor Cheng Wanli never thought that he would encounter this situation after only one month in office.

Where did this gang of robbers come from, and their strength is so powerful!

Listening to the report of the two generals who were in charge of commanding and defending the city, if this group of Liangshan bandits refused to forcibly attack the city for fear of casualties, they were afraid that the city would have already been breached by this time.

Cheng Wanli never thought that the script was well designed, Zeng Tou City grabbed horses and provoked, Liangshan thieves led troops to recruit under anger, Zhang Qing and Ding Desun led the team to attack back and forth;

Then Gong Wang, who was defending the city, joined forces with Dong Ping of Jeju, and Huang An drove a small boat to Yangsan, attacked their lair, and completely eradicated it.

In Cheng Wanli's view, this plan is simply perfect.

However, this gang of Liangshan thieves did not follow their own routine at all, and even transferred Zhang Qing's main force away from the plan, and then came directly to fight Yunzhou, and they were caught off guard.

Things have developed like this, Cheng Wanli is also helpless, and sat in the mansion with Gong Wang, who was already injured, and sighed.

At this moment, I heard the old housekeeper come in and report: "Liang Shanjun sent someone to deliver a letter. ”

Cheng Wanli hurriedly changed his depressed demeanor, sat upright, and ordered people to be brought in.

The one who came to deliver the letter was Zhao Xuan, who joined the Liangshan Army in Yinmachuan, and because he did a good job, he is now an instructor in the three battalions of the Liangshan Army.

At this time, I saw him majestic, and walked into the government office with high spirits, and when he saw Cheng Wanli, he did not bow down, but raised his head and said: "My military master sent me to wait for you, and you are limited to open the city and surrender within three days, otherwise once the city is broken, our Liangshan is a team that does the right thing for heaven and cherishes the people, so naturally it will not do anything to the people in the city."

But Cheng Taishou's family will be slaughtered, the soldiers in the city, all the above team will not be left, and all the family members will be taken to Liangshan as slaves and servants, and they will be coolies for the rest of their lives! ”

Although Cheng Wanli was caught off guard, no one had ever dared to threaten him in front of him like this, and the literati's demeanor suddenly made him angry.

I saw him stand up all of a sudden, trembling with anger, and pointed at Zhao Xuan with a halberd: "How dare a thief be so rude!" Come on, drag this guy out......"

Several family officials immediately rushed over and twisted Zhao Xuan's two arms, but Zhao Xuan was not afraid, stared coldly at Cheng Wanli's eyes and said: "Cheng Taishou, you can order me to be pushed out and beheaded, but I don't guarantee that you and your beautiful daughter will not see the sun tomorrow morning, and the officials of the whole government will also be buried together."

You can give it a try. ”

"You...... You...... You ......"

Cheng Wanli's body trembled more and more, his hair was stretched, he pointed at Zhao Xuanlian and said a few of you, it is better to put it down in a dejected manner, and only then did he shout with some prostration: "Stop, you go down." ”

Gong Wang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief at this time, and hurriedly signaled with his eyes that Cheng Taishou could stabilize Zhao Xuan first and ask about the situation before making plans.

Zhao Xuan moved his twisted arm, and said proudly: "Cheng Taishou, you saved your life!" Saved your daughter's life, too! ”

Cheng Wanli was so angry that he blew his nose and glared, his face kept distorting, but in the end, he miraculously gradually became calm and calm again, he looked at Zhao Xuan for a long time, and finally said slowly: "This official looks at your temperament, not like a bandit, but like a scholar, why don't you go to the test to gain fame, but are willing to be a thief?" ”

"That's right, Xiao Ke is indeed a scholar, and the Guangxin Army is a person, but I, Liangshanjun, am not a thief or bandit, and I ask Cheng Taishou to respect himself."

Zhao Xuan looked at Cheng Wanli and said coldly.

Cheng Wanli was taken aback and said: "Since you are a person, this dynasty is extremely generous, and the court has never treated you badly, why do you want to follow that leopard-headed forest leopard to gather a crowd to rebel?" ”

Zhao Xuan thought of his dead wife, and suddenly became gloomy, and said after a long time: "Taishou is right, the imperial court is indeed extremely generous, but this generous treatment is based on the looting of the people's fat and people's ointment, so that the rich get richer and the poor get poorer."

Moreover, since the reign of Emperor Daojun, he has been extremely poor and luxurious, and has greatly prospered the flower and stone gang...... Appointment of treacherous evil, Cai Jing's Fangtian method, salt tea method, and indiscriminate payment of money...... The oppressed people had no way to live, so they had to go up the mountain to rob ......

The monks of this dynasty are indeed thick, but in the end, they have raised these literati doctors with fat brains, people are floating in things, and they only know how to call friends every day, set up wine meetings, talk highly, and travel all day long, and no one is willing to take care of local government affairs, except for money, grain and taxes.

As for the bandits on the mountain, for the sake of trouble, these officials and gentlemen who travel all day long will only treat it as if they didn't see it, turn a blind eye, and eat dry rice for nothing! ”

Zhao Xuan lectures on the mountain every day, everything is a set, Cheng Wanli was really a little speechless by Zhao Xuan, this dynasty is redundant and redundant and terminally ill is indeed clear to anyone (scholars).

But since he is one of the scholars, and the court and the scholars share the world, what else can he say?

Of course, it is to say that he is good, and he works hard to maintain it!

It's just that what he can't figure out is, what does this have to do with the other party's rebellion on the mountain?

After pondering for a moment, Zhao Xuan replied to him: "My wife was killed by the bandits on the mountain, and it was the Liangshan army that exterminated this gang of bandits and avenged her...... These bandits were born because of the tyranny of the imperial court......"

Cheng Wanli's body shook, and he felt that there was little chance of convincing this person anyway.

And at this time, Hua Xianghu Gong Wang has also been telling him with his eyes that he can stabilize the other party first, and everything will be said when Zhang Dujian and the troops come back.

Zhao Xuan saw all this in his eyes, and couldn't help sneering: "Don't have illusions anymore, my Liangshan army has no less than 20,000 elite soldiers, and countless fierce generals, while attacking Yunzhou City, I have already divided more than 10,000 troops on the road and waited for Zhang Dujian to come back, and I will definitely capture him tomorrow!" ”
