Tian Hu was overjoyed when he heard this: "Niu Qing's words are just and lonely, which general is willing to go on a trip for King Lone?"

All the generals asked for battle, especially the two kings Tianhu shouted the loudest: "Niu Shumi is really far-sighted, Jin Yu is good, the minister is willing to bring a soldier, please Brother Wang's permission." ”

As soon as Tian Hu was about to agree, he saw a thin man in black armor turn out behind Tian Leopard and said: "Killing chickens with a knife, it's just a few Liangshan thief generals, why use the two kings to go out, otherwise let the heroes of the rivers and lakes laugh at us for bullying the small, and the last general will already give them face, if the thief leader Du Jia comes to the second king, it will not be too late to fight." ”

Everyone looked at the person who was Tian Bao's number one henchman, Ma Ling, he was originally from Zhuozhou, nicknamed 'God Pony', also known as 'Xiao Huaguang', hand made a Fang Tian painting halberd, not only strong martial arts, but also good use of the magic method, at the same time there are gold bricks, it can be said that he can play can run and remote output of the all-round talent, there are also martial arts under his command, Xu Jin two partial generals, also learned some of his abilities, with Tian Leopard to guard the important town of Fenyang Mansion, Tian Leopard left before he was in charge, it can be seen that his status.

Seeing that it was Ma Ling who spoke, Tian Leopard stopped asking for battle, touched his beard and said with a smile: "If there is Brother Ma Xian to fight, what else do I have to worry about, then this time I will ask my brother, I must make the Liang Mountain thieves pay the price, and I will be ashamed of the day before yesterday." ”

Ma Ling arched his hand and said: "The second king can rest assured, the last general knows what to do, and he will not disappoint the second king." ”

Tian Hu was also very satisfied when he saw that it was Ma Ling who asked for battle, and immediately issued a decree to let Ma Ling lead Ma Bu Army with a total of 15,000, Wu Neng Xu Jin and dozens of generals and officers assisted to send troops to Qingzhou, the goal was to wait for peace and other three prefectures, at least one to come back, by the way, to kill the Liangshan thieves and Koudu, and promote the prestige of the King of Jin, and at the same time arrange for Fang Xuedu, the guard general of Yushe County on the border of Qingzhou and Jizhou, as a backup to support the logistics of the army.

Jin King Tian Hu personally rewarded the army, Tian Leopard is even stronger, Ma Ling gladly took the order and picked up the people and horses, and went straight to Mengzhou Mansion after passing through Yushe County, originally this was the boundary of Qingzhou, even if Tian Hu's fierce and domineering want to cross the border, it must be considered carefully, which is equivalent to provoking Qingzhou Prefecture Mu Rongda, although Tian Hu is strong but at the same time challenging the two major state herds or have no bottom in their hearts, but now that this has returned to Liangshan, they will not be afraid, and when the time comes, the three cities will be snatched down, Even if Murong Rongda's soldiers came over, they would have to keep one, after all, they would have helped them a lot.

So from the very beginning, the opponent that King Jin valued was the imperial court rather than Liang Shan, although Liang Shan was in the limelight at the last Green Forest Heroes Conference, but they only felt that Du Jia was indeed a character, but they did not put Liang Shan in their eyes.

A few days later, Ma Ling and they entered the territory of Qingzhou, and there were already spies who reported the latest intelligence, and heard that Qingzhou had sent troops to take these three prefectures, and now they were blocked by the Peach Blossom Mountain defense line, Ma Ling was overjoyed and said: "God really helps me, if the Qingzhou officers and soldiers come over, we will not be able to do it, we must take these mansions before they come, and then we can negotiate with them." ”

Wu Neng admonished: "My lord, these three prefectures and cities are each other's horns, if you only fight one way to delay time, and the second is to guard against the rear, according to the end of the general, if our troops are divided into three ways to attack the three mansions at the same time, it is said that Liangshan has a total of more than 1,000 people here, and it is not enough to capture it at that time." ”

Ma Ling thought so, so he divided the team into three teams, each team of 5,000 people, and then he and Wu Neng, Xu Jin each led a team, Wu Neng went to fight Mengzhou, Xu Jin went to fight peace, and Ma Ling himself went to take Texas, Ma Ling specially instructed that if the city was broken immediately after the defense, if the officers and soldiers came, do not rush to fight, and then negotiate separately, and for the Liangshan thieves, you don't have to be polite, the leader is killed, and the minions are reduced to slaves.

Wu Neng Xu Jin nodded and took the order, and the three-way army separated and took the three mansions directly, but said that Liangshan had been careful every day since Du Jia left, so Ma Ling and his soldiers had already learned about it as soon as they arrived in Qingzhou.

At that time, when Du Jia left, he took more than 3,000 horses because he had to deal with Hu Yanzhuo's army, Wu Song's Peach Blossom Mountain left 1,500, and Lin Chong's side was only 1,500, but he had to guard against three cities, which was really stretched, Lin Chong thought about it carefully, and asked Chen Da to bring 500 people to guard the peace, Yang Chun to take 500 people to guard Dezhou, and he himself brought 500 people to take charge of Mengzhou.

It naturally makes sense for him to arrange it this way, because Mengzhou City was completely destroyed by Erlong Mountain more than a year ago, so the city defense has not been fully restored until now, and the number of guards is also very small, so Lin Chong himself is in charge, and Dezhou Ping'an has not gone through a major war, so the city defense is intact, as long as they defend Langtian Hu and their people for a short time, there is no way.

Chen Da and Yang Chun both received the order, Lin Chong and Wu Yong, who is now temporarily living in the prefect of Mengzhou Prefecture, gathered people and horses, repaired the city wall, prepared military supplies for rolling wood, grain and grass, and at the same time closed the city gate and prepared for defense. Hearing that the people from the northern Tianhu side planned to come here to sabotage, they were naturally filled with righteous indignation, and they all gladly accepted the forbidden city order issued by Lin Chong, and many young and middle-aged men even took the initiative to ask to join the city defense army.

Lin Chong, Wu Yong and others understood what Du Jia meant by 'sowing seeds' at that time, if he had looted and left at that time, although it seemed that he could get a lot of gold, silver, money and equipment, it would inevitably make the people extremely disgusted with them.

However, Lin Chong still refused the request of the people to join the army directly, and just asked them to form volunteers to help maintain order in the city and transport supplies, etc., after all, they have not undergone any training, and they must be in a hurry when they suddenly go to the battlefield, not to mention that the casualty rate will be very high.

In Wu Yong's view, they are the pillars of each family, and if there are more casualties, it will inevitably affect the production capacity here, while in Lin Chong's view, fighting the enemy is the business of professional soldiers like them, and the common people must not be involved, although the two sides stand from different angles, but they have all come to the same conclusion.

The melon actually went to the rocket with a basic salary, Lao Wade has not left home yet, and the dignified 03 platinum generation is only Lao Zhan who is struggling to support him, and it seems that it is time for the curtain to end
