Chapter 199: Soldiers Sent to Gao Tang Prefecture
For a while, the voices of scolding in the cafeteria came and went, and everyone shouted, saying that Gao Lian, as well as Yin Tianxi, were so bullying and harmful, and they were unreasonable, even the living Buddha couldn't bear it!
Lin Chong, General Lu, Wen Huanzhang, and Xu Guanzhong couldn't help frowning, feeling that there was something strange about this matter.
This thing is so strange, it is said that the iron coupon of the oath given to them by Emperor Taizu Wude of the Chai clan is at home, which is almost universally known.
Therefore, whenever there are criminals who have committed crimes, the first thing that comes to mind is to go to Chai Jinzhuang to avoid trouble, such as Wu Song in Qinghe County, Wu Song in Daimyo's Mansion, and Song Jiang in Yuncheng County, Jeju in the original story; Therefore, the local thieves never dared to look at the Zhuangzi who was entering the firewood.
In other words, even Song Jiang in Yuncheng County, as well as low-level people like Shi Yong and Wu Song, all know that Chai Jin's family has Danshu iron coupons, and it is impossible for Yin Tianxi not to know!
Even if he really didn't know, Chai Huangcheng told him personally, but he said that even if there was him, he was not afraid, and he beat people on the spot.
Therefore, Lin Chong quickly came to the conclusion that this guy knew the identity of the Chai family, and that he had an oath and iron coupons at home and was given special preferential treatment by the old Zhao family, and he deliberately went to the door to find fault and deliberately beat Chai Huangcheng.
This is the same as the trajectory in the original Water Margin story, but what Lin Chong thought was that Chai Jin had been secretly buying horses for the Liangshan Army for half a year, and now Zhao Ji and Gao Yu found out that they had actually been hiding in Liangshanbo to recruit troops, and now there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.
So, could it be that Zhao Ji or Gao Yu found out about Chai Jin's non-stop buying of horses, and thought of Liang Shanjun?
Among the four, Xu Guanzhong reacted the fastest, seeing that he quickly figured out the joints, he pressed his hand, and the cafeteria hall quickly quieted down, so he heard him say: "Brother, I thought this incident was just a coincidence."
Brother, do you think, if the matter of Chai Daguan and my Liangshan Army is really known to that Duan Jun or Gao Yu, why do they set up a bureau in Gaotang Prefecture to make a move against Chai Huangcheng, why would it be better to simply issue a holy decree and let Cangzhou Zhizhou send troops to arrest Chai Daguan? ”
Lin Chong also understood at one point, nodded in agreement, and listened to General Lu also say on the side: "Brother, Xu Junshi is right, Gao Lian was appointed as the governor of Gaotang Prefecture before Gao Yu knew that his brother was in Liangshan."
Perhaps it was the fact that the Chai officials secretly bought horses were discovered by the Cangzhou officials and reported to the imperial court, so the imperial court appointed Gao Lian as the governor of Gaotang Prefecture with the intention of concocting the Chai Imperial City and leading the Chai officials to Gaotang Prefecture, and they did this to deal with the Chai officials instead of our Liangshan army. ”
Wen Huanzhang thought farther and said: "It should be like this, but now that Zhao Ji, Gao Yu and others know that the military master is in Liangshanbo, I am afraid that they will soon wake up, if this is the case, we will save the Chai Huangcheng family, and it will be a little troublesome." ”
Lin Chong nodded, and said in his heart that no matter what Zhao Ji and Gao Yu thought of, they didn't expect that Chai Jin had already united with the Liangshan Army, and Chai Huangcheng himself would send troops to save him.
"Brother Xiaoshan, you go on, what happened later?"
Later, after the Chai officials received the letter, they heard people talk about how Yin Tianxi's house was arrogant and unreasonable, and he was so angry that he immediately took dozens of Zhuang Ke who knew martial arts to Gaotang Prefecture to theorize with Yin Tianxi.
Brother Cao Zheng persuaded him that this matter was really strange, and asked the senior official to inform the military lord first and then take care of it, and finally the senior official decided to send me to deliver the letter day and night, and he and Cao Zheng's brother slowly rushed to Gaotang Prefecture with dozens of villagers. ”
Lin Chong was relieved when he heard this, which means that Chai Jin should still be on the road now, and there is no danger, so this matter will be much easier to do.
At that moment, Lin Chong took advantage of the fact that most of the generals were there, and immediately made a decision to immediately set up troops and horses to kill Gaotang Prefecture and rescue Chai Huangcheng, and at the same time, by the way, he removed the two scourges of Gao Lian and Yin Tianxi, and robbed Gaotang Prefecture.
As soon as they heard that there was another combat mission, the atmosphere in the hall immediately became excited, and all the generals stood up one after another to ask for battle.
You must know that every time the Liangshan army goes out to win a battle, they can make war exploits, and these people are naturally happy when they hear the battle, and they are like fighting chicken blood.
Lin Chong thought about it, Hu Yanzhuo, Guan Sheng's two armies are about to be killed, and the Liangshan army is urgently training and preparing for war, although many newly created battalions have not yet had time to form combat effectiveness at this time, and the combat battalion number that can be pulled out is still the original old foundation for the time being.
However, Gaotang Prefecture is close to the north of Yunzhou, and it is less than 300 miles away from Liangshanbo.
It's just that in this way, there are too many battalions to participate in the war, and they don't give in to each other, and there is no way for Lin Chong to discuss with several military advisors, so he has to decide that no matter the new number or the old number, half of the people will go, and in addition, Wang Yin's battalion of the infantry of the Beiwei Army was stationed in Dulonggang last time and did not participate in the battle, and this time the battle cannot be missed.
After some quarrels, it was quickly agreed that Li Tianyan, Bian Xiang, Zhang Qing, and Tang Bin's four battalions of field horse troops, Lu Fang's first battalion of guard horse infantry troops, Wang Yin's Beiwei infantry army, Fan Rui, He Ji, and Shan Tingju's four battalions of field infantry troops, a total of nine combat battalions, 6,78 people, plus 300 medical soldiers from the Andaoquan Rejuvenation Battalion, a total of 7,000 people immediately set off for Gaotang Prefecture.
After instructing General Lu and Wen Huanzhang to go to sea on Liang Mountain five days later, Lin Chong and Xu Guanzhong took the nine battalions of soldiers and horses plus half of the rejuvenation battalion down the mountain and boarded the boat on Yazui Beach in turn.
In this capture of Zengtou City, the Liangshan army captured a large number of horses and vehicles, even the infantry and medical soldiers rushed to Gaotang Prefecture in carriages, and the speed was not slow.
It's that every time you go down the mountain, you have to get on the boat first, and then get off the boat when you get to the shore, but it's not troublesome.
When Lin Chong was on the boat, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind, since he was so confident in the combat power of the Liangshan Army, why did he shrink all the soldiers and horses on the big island of Liangshan?
"Mr. Xu, I'm thinking, after this time we finish fighting Gaotang Prefecture, and after we destroy Hu Yanzhuo and Guan Sheng, we should simply build four castles outside Shuibo.
In this way, not only can the army be stationed here, but it can also be made into a bazaar, attracting many merchants to come and trade, just like Zengtou City.
There are war horses in Zengtou City, and there are all kinds of goods from the Liao Kingdom that come as private merchants, and my Liangshan Army also has so many commodities that only we have, and I am not afraid that these merchants will not come! This saves us from running around selling stuff on our own. ”
