"Don't worry, I'll be fine."

Lin Chong said confidently, but two days later, this sentence was still in his ears, and when the new news came, Lin Chong was slapped in the face.

When this new news came, the main force of the 40,000 Liangshan Army, which had marched to Nanguan Town of the Weisheng Army on Hedong Road, was suddenly shocked.

In order to ensure the smooth flow of trade routes and protect the territory and the people, the Liangshan army wanted to exterminate all the cottage bandits who harmed the people in Jingdong Road, and this matter had already been reported to the imperial court.

Moreover, when the Liangshan Army bandit squad entered other state capitals, it also notified the local prefectures and counties in advance, but the Liangshan Army bandit squad was monitored by the local forbidden army throughout the whole process when it exterminated the bandits on the Purple Mountain.

It is said that this is also understandable, as Zhang Shuye said, the soldiers and horses of the Liangshan army entered the state capital under the jurisdiction of this state, so they naturally had to be more vigilant, what if the Liangshan army suddenly tore up the oath and raised troops to attack the state and county?

But what made people angry was that this imperial court soldier and horse actually took advantage of the Liangshan bandit squad to attack the cottage for a long time, and launched a sneak attack on the Liangshan army in the middle of the night, killing more than 200 Liangshan soldiers.

The Liangshan army was caught off guard by defense, but in the end it was stabilized, fought back to the death, not only repelled the imperial soldiers and horses, but also captured alive the leading general, Zhou Kai, the training envoy of the Qizhou regiment, according to him, it was the order of the governor of Qizhou himself!

Now that the bandit suppression squads of the Liangshan Army have begun to withdraw, the Liangshan Army is also fighting with the surrounding imperial court soldiers and horses, and the situation has suddenly become out of control!

"Prisoners, the court is really too deceitful! This is crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, unloading the mill and killing the donkey! No, this is the bridge that will be demolished before the river is crossed, how much this hates our Liangshan Army! ”

"If you enter his mother, does the court still have a face?"

"Lord, are we still going to fight the Western Thieves? I'm afraid that before we get to Kansai, the soldiers and horses encircled and suppressed by the imperial court have already been killed in Liangshanbo! ”

"Let's just say that this bird court can't believe it! In vain, we also said that we should abandon our previous suspicions, coexist peacefully, and unite with the outside world! ”

As soon as they heard the news, Luan Tingyu, Tang Bin, Hao Siwen, Yang Zhi, Shi Jin, Xu Ning, Fan Rui, Shan Tingqi, Wei Dingguo, Zhang Xiucen and other generals who followed Lin Chong on the expedition immediately shouted, and they all glared angrily at Zhang Shuye's father and son, eager to kill the three on the spot to sacrifice the flag.

Uncle Zhang was also very anxious, but he was not afraid, he looked at Lin Chong and said loudly: "Master Lin, there must be a misunderstanding in this matter, the imperial court will definitely not do this!" ”

In fact, Zhang Shuye still didn't say a word, even if the imperial court did this, it would wait for the 40,000 main forces of the Liangshan Army to arrive in Guanxi and fight the Western thieves.

He even suspected that this was fake news, or that it was simply arranged by Liang Shanjun, deliberately creating contradictions, in order to find an excuse not to fight the Western thieves.

"What can't the court do? Zhang Xianggong thinks that I, Liang Shanjun, lied about the military situation and has nothing to do? ”

Lin Chong paused and sneered: "Don't think I don't know, Fan Ningzhong, the governor of Qizhou, was corrupt and derelict in his duties before, and he was dismissed and exiled according to the law, but in the end, he bribed him with a lot of money, and he took the path of Gao Yu to keep his official position!" In my opinion, more than ninety percent of this matter was secretly instructed by Gao Yu! ”

"The lower officials don't dare, there are a lot of doubts about this matter at this time, and I also ask Lord Lin to calm down and think about it, what are the benefits of the imperial court doing this kind of thing at this time."

Uncle Zhang looked at Lin Chong with suspicion on his face, but he secretly sighed in his heart that the intelligence work of the Liangshan Army was really in place, but because of this, this matter became more and more unlike Gao Yu's instructions.

Uncle Zhang was a good minister in the world, how could he not have imagined that if such a thing happened now, it would be Liang Shanjun who would benefit the most, and whoever would benefit the most would naturally be the most suspicious.

Facing Uncle Zhang's suspicious gaze, Lin Chong was not weaker at all, and continued to sneer: "What else is suspicious? The imperial court is the heart of death! We can't wait to get to Kansai and can't wait to get started! ”

After Hao Siwen's information came, he kept frowning and thinking, and then he also spoke up; "We can only know a rough idea here, who knows what the imperial court and the governor of Qizhou, and the forbidden army of Qizhou think?

Or they saw that our Liangshan army could not capture a small village, so they thought that the remaining troops of our Liangshan army after the main force left; Maybe they thought that a sneak attack from behind could wipe out our bandit squad in one fell swoop, and then blame the bandits of Purple Mountain?

In short, there is nothing wrong with one thing, it was the Qizhou Forbidden Army that attacked us behind the back; And our Liangshan Army was killed by the Qizhou Forbidden Army more than 200 people at once, these can't be wrong! ”

Hao Siwen glanced at the generals, took the lead and bowed down to Lin Chong and said, "Lord, we can't go any further, we must go back immediately!" The imperial court originally distrusted us, and this time we tore our faces, but we are afraid that the army of conquest and suppression is already on the way, and if we hesitate again, we are afraid that we will suffer a big loss! ”

"Commander, give the order, we will kill back now!"

Luan Tingyu, Tang Bin, Yang Zhi and other generals, as well as the surrounding Lin Chong's personal guards and the soldiers of Hu Sanniang's guard battalion, also knelt down and pleaded.

"Get up!"

Lin Chong shouted for everyone to get up, but he didn't promise to return to Liangshan immediately.

Joke, there are not only smart people in this world, such as himself, Lu Jiang, and Wen Huanzhang, and now they go back like this, and everyone in the world still doesn't know that this matter is done by Liang Shanjun?

"I believe that General Lu and Mr. Wen, I have left enough people in Liangshan, even if the court really wants to turn its face, it will definitely not be able to please them!

Besides, our grain and grass are all five days, and now when we go back, we will be thankful that the imperial court soldiers and horses will not attack us, and they will definitely not supply us with grain and grass again. Without food and grass, will we go back hungry? ”

Chen Da, the jumping tiger, is a person with an anxious personality, and said at the moment: "We brought gold and silver to pay money, and bought food to eat along the way!" ”

Lin Chong said: "Where can I sell it?" Not to mention that you also know, how can ordinary people have so much surplus grain at home, if you want to buy it, you can only ask the local rich people, but if we return to the division, the court will definitely slander us as rebels, rebellious army, how dare the local rich people sell grain and grass to us? ”

"Straight lady thief, then rob him, these rich people must have done bad things one by one, so they should be regarded as doing the right thing for heaven!"

"No way!"

Lin Chong shook his head, robbery this kind of thing, since Liang Shanjun started industry and commerce, he has not done it, you must know that most of the rich businessmen who do business with Liang Shanjun now are also big landlords in the countryside, and robbing these big landlords is robbing business partners, which is not good after all.

Besides, in the past, the attack on Zhujiazhuang and Zengtou City was also famous, but now it is completely for grain and grass, no matter how you say that this is for the heavens, in the eyes of the world, it is still a robbery.

Hao Siwen and the others also thought of the reason, and couldn't help scolding: "What a prisoner of the imperial court, it turns out that we are stuck here early in the morning!" ”

"Straight sissy thief! It's so insidious, it's worthy of a big turban, and there are a lot of eyes! ”

A group of people all looked at Zhang Shuye and his son with murderous intentions, if it weren't for Lin Chong's presence, Liang Shanjun was the place where obeying orders was the duty of a soldier, I was afraid that someone would do it on the spot, so kill them first.
