"Brother, before you wanted to break the Liangshan army, you wanted to protect the third brother with military merits, and the fourth brother was exempted. But now the Liangshan army sent Zhao Yuwen to ask for it, and the officials were furious, and strictly ordered us to immediately send troops to fill the water, break through Liangshan, and escort Lin Chong to Tokyo with thousands of broken corpses, and the rest of the leaders, thieves, soldiers and people, both old and young, were all executed, but I am afraid that my brother's move is extremely difficult! ”

Speaking of which, for various reasons, the Zhao and Song dynasties did not kill most of the civil rebel forces, but often adopted non-military means such as recruitment, which is also the origin of the phrase "if you want to be an official, kill people and set fire to be recruited" among the people of the Song Dynasty.

When he knew that Lin Chong was recruiting troops in Liangshan, Zhao Ji meant that he would only punish the evil, and just capture Lin Chong and Lin Chong's henchmen to Jingshi and kill them, and other ignorant people who were "bewitched" could recruit An.

But this time, Lin Chong's criticism of Zhao Zhao took off all the fig leafs of the old Zhao family, not only told all the pickled things that his ancestor Zhao Guangyi did not dare to say, but also scolded him Zhao Ji for being a bloody dog, pointing to the dark tyranny of Zhao Song and the source of the people's poor life is Zhao Ji, the faint king.

Zhao Ji has been the emperor for so many years, and he has always heard flattery in praise of merit, what official Shengming River Qing Haiyan, what Yellow River Qing sage, what Fengheng Yu Taiping prosperous era, only Zhao Ji listened to the smoke and edification.

Now that he has been scolded so badly by Lin Chong, where can Zhao Ji stand this? was furious at the moment, and strictly ordered the slaughter of all the people in Liangshan, regardless of age and age, which shows how annoyed and angry he was.

When Guan Sheng heard this, he was also worried, and sighed for a long time: "How can I not know, but life is in the world, what is not difficult?" We have no way back now, and we can only advance in the face of difficulties and serve the country with all our hearts, so that we can report to the king, go down to Anlishu, and live up to the ambition of life. ”

"But the elder brother, the third brother, and the fourth brother are still in the Liangshan Army, do we really want to meet each other in arms and kill each other? Besides......" Hao Siwen shook his head, a little reluctant to speak.

"Besides, what can't you say, brother?"

Hao Siwen also sighed and said, "Besides...... Brother, it's not me who grows the morale of the Liangshan army and destroys his prestige. Brother, do you think, since the Liangshan Army became an army, which time has it not fought all the battles?

Zhujiazhuang and the people are strong, not to mention, Yunzhou Zhizhou and Zengtou City set up a bureau to deal with Liangshan Army, what is the result? The soldiers and horses of the sixteenth battalion of Yunzhou City were eaten by the Liangshan army, and the seven thousand men and horses of Zengtou City were killed and annihilated.

There is also Lingzhou City Holy Water General Shan Tinggui, Shenhuo General Wei Dingguo, who has met with us in Pucheng many times before, the strength of the two brothers knows, each has a battalion of trained elite soldiers, and the battlefield is worth thousands of ordinary soldiers and horses, but what is the result? was still easily defeated and subdued by the Liangshan army.

There is also Gao Tang Prefecture, that Gao Lian is Gao Yu's uncle and brother, and there are not only ten battalions of the most elite and brave Hebei Forbidden Army under his command, but also two battalions of the Hundred Battles Western Army that have fought for ten years, but what is the result? Wasn't it completely wiped out by the Liangshan Army in one day? ”

Guan Sheng's slightly closed eyes couldn't help but twitch lightly twice at this time, obviously knowing that the combat strength of the Liangshan army was not weak, and this battle must be extremely difficult.

He opened his eyes and glanced at Hao Siwen, motioning for him to continue, and listened to Hao Siwen continue: "But what about us, although we have 25,000 soldiers and horses, the 15,000 elite forbidden troops in Shandong and Hebei are still better, and they can barely fight.

But the 10,000 Bianliang forbidden troops sent to us afterwards were all arrogant and lazy generals, completely unbearable to fight, these people who were sick every day, pretending to be sick, stealing and playing tricks, procrastinating in their work, making trouble for nothing, and disobeying control, all kinds of situations emerged one after another, and they were there, but they slowed down the marching speed of our army and seriously affected the morale of the army!

Brother, do you really think that we can win against the more than 10,000 elite soldiers under Lin Chong's command with this army? In my opinion, with the drag of these 10,000 forbidden troops, it will be difficult for us to reach Yunzhou within the time limit, let alone fill in the water and break through Liangshan.

You know, if you really count it, the Liangshan army is not less able to fight than us, the soldiers and horses of Yunzhou, as well as the holy water general Shan Tinggui, the Shenhuo general Wei Dingguo's two battalions of elite soldiers, the Hebei elite soldiers of Gaotang Prefecture, and the Western Army of more than one battalion have all surrendered to the Liangshan army! ”

"The general is outside, the king's order is not affected, and the matter of marching within a time limit does not need to be cared about, as for the soldiers who can fight......"

Guan Sheng frowned, and said after a long groan: "We still have the fifteen thousand soldiers and horses of General Huyan, especially the three thousand ironclad chain horses trained by General Huyan, which are enough to win in battle." Moreover, if we attack from two directions this time, we will attack separately and together, which will definitely make it difficult for the Liangshan army to take care of the head and tail......"

He paused: "Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if the Liangshan army is really invincible, we still have a way, which is to hold the camp step by step and surround the water." Then contact Yunzhou, Jeju, Puzhou, and Yanzhou around Shuibo, and tell them to guard their respective places.

In this way, if a small group of Liangshan troops descended the mountain, we would eat him in one bite; If the main force of the Liangshan army descends the mountain, we will avoid fighting and wait for him to retreat before sending troops to attack and harass.

I think that Lin Chong is a person with a tough personality, a flying temperament, and an unruly person; And the Liangshan army has won so many battles in a row, and its morale is flourishing, and now it is recruiting talents everywhere, how can it stand this?

After a long time, whether it is Lin Chong or Liang Shanjun, they will inevitably be impatient and take the initiative to seek a decisive battle.

When the Liangshan army is exhausted, we can start a decisive battle with it, feign defeat and retreat to introduce it into our predetermined battlefield, and then ambush the troops and defeat them in one fell swoop by relying on the favorable terrain! Such a big thing can be done! ”

When Hao Siwen heard this, he couldn't help but secretly admire his brother, who knew Tao Strategy and was familiar with the art of war, but his brows wrinkled tighter: "But the elder brother, the third brother, and the fourth brother are still in the Liangshan army, if the Liangshan army is defeated, then wouldn't they be ......?"

Guan Sheng said firmly: "At that time, I had to act at the opportunity, find a way to release the third brother and the fourth brother privately, and when the limelight passes, the official's anger will disappear, and I will find a way to recruit An." ”

Hao Siwen still wanted to say something, but when he saw that Guan Sheng had made up his mind, he no longer persuaded him.

The two talked some gossip again, and seeing that the hour was almost up, Hao Siwen advised Guan Sheng to rest early, and he went out to pick up Xuanzan's shift and patrol the night.

After Hao Siwen left, Guan Sheng gradually became sleepy, and slowly fell asleep, but he didn't know that at this moment, close to the shadow outside the Chinese army's tent, a piece of dead wood and debris moved imperceptibly. 1.
