Chapter 484: Ruthless may not be a true hero, ready to go on the expedition
Under the autumn wind, the flowers and plants have become yellow, and the weather is getting cooler and cooler.
Du Bai and Zhu Wu's side stormed Kaijing every day, successively defeated the army of King Qinwang of Goryeo Nanjing and Pyongyang in Xijing, and captured a large number of soldiers and horses in formation, and finally forced Tuojun Jinghuo Army, who defended the Great Wall of thousands of miles in the north of Goryeo, to Kaijing to rescue him.
The two finally relieved, on the one hand, they quietly laid a big pocket array on the road from Pyongyang to Kaesong, waiting for Tuo Junjing to throw himself into the net; On the one hand, he once again took out the two trophies of Wanyan Wushu and Wanyan Yinshu to exhibit and inspect to show his strength.
As early as eleven years ago, Goryeo raised an army of 170,000 and claimed to be 200,000 to crusade against the Jurchens, and won first and then lost the battle.
In addition, the two countries were repaired on the surface later, and there were often contacts between each other, so there were really some people in the Goryeo Army who knew this Wanyan Yinshuke.
Seeing that even the Jurchen army, which was known as invincible, was defeated by the Liangshan army, and the four princes of the Jurchen chieftains and the invincible fierce generals in the army all became the fierce generals of the Liangshan army.
At the same time, coupled with the fact that freed slaves and poor tenants from all over the country volunteered to join the Yangsan army to help defend the city, lead the way, and carry supplies, the overall situation of the Yangsan army's conquest of Goryeo finally gradually stabilized.
So Du Yan and Zhu Wu did not hesitate any longer, and immediately ordered someone to return by boat and report to Lin Chong.
Just when Ruan Xiaoqi was cleaving the waves on the Bohai Sea with ten ships, carrying countless gold and silver treasures, and Goryeo specialties, Liangshanbo was actually 30,000 cavalry to fight against the Western Thieves a few days ago.
It was completely different from the previous expedition against the Western Thieves, this time the Liangshan Army dispatched all cavalry, marching 120 miles a day, and taking the flat thoroughfare of Liangshan Bo through Kaifeng and Luoyang to Jingzhaofu (Xi'an), the distance was greatly reduced, in order to be able to solve the tumor of Western Xia as soon as possible.
However, although the 30,000-strong army had already set out early in the morning, Lin Chong did not set off with the army for a long time.
It's not that Lin Chong is not worried about the Goryeo war situation, although Lin Chong is also very worried about the Goryeo war situation, but Lin Chong also feels that he should believe in Du Bai and Zhu Wu, and believe in the army that he trained and trained with his own hands and injected the soul of the army.
Moreover, in the war in Goryeo, didn't he formulate a general strategy with the high-level of the Liangshan Army early on to encircle the point and send reinforcements and attack the heart, this is already the greatest help that Lin Chong can give, and even if anything happens, Lin Chong does not think that he will be able to do better than Du Yan and Zhu Wu.
So just let it go.
And in addition, Lin Chong had prepared the final trump card for them - black powder weapons, grenades, thunderbolts, etc.
Once the war is unfavorable, I believe that these cross-era secret weapons can immediately kill all sides and turn the tide of the war as soon as they are taken out.
As for why not directly use gunpowder weapons to kill the Quartet, Lin Chong, Lu Jiang, Wen Huanzhang, Zhu Wu and others also discussed, and finally unanimously concluded that this was the last hole card, and it was completely useless to deal with Goryeo, Liao, and Western Xia.
Besides, what the Liangshan Army lacked most was the will of the people, not force; And what are the men of the Han family in this era, that is, the Great Song and Song people before the rise of the Liangshan Army, what are they most lacking?
It is the spirit of blood and bravery, the spirit of martial arts, and the spirit of forging ahead and being high-spirited. With these, the Liangshan army is enough to beat all the alien Hulu;
However, if you lose your martial spirit and only know how to rely on advanced weapons, but you do not dare to engage in battle with a white edge, or even rely on the pride of having advanced weapons to underestimate the enemy's carelessness, once the enemy surprises into the front, the advanced weapons in your hand will only give the enemy food.
Are there still few such examples in later generations?
The unanimous opinion of several people is to regard gunpowder weapons as the last battle, and the Liangshan army dares to go deep alone, and the troops are dangerous, with the confidence of one enemy and ten, but it is not to be used at the beginning.
With such confidence, believing in Du Bao and Zhu Wu, and believing in the army he established that was infused with the soul of the Han army, Lin Chong was naturally very relieved about the Goryeo war situation, even if the hearts of the Goryeo people were not so easy to subdue, it was a big deal to spend some more time, but the 35,000 Liangshan Expeditionary Force would not be in great danger.
What really made Lin Chong reluctant to leave was because of his own personal affairs.
That is, Zhang Zhenniang has been pregnant for more than four months, and she said so well in front of her on the first day of crossing, saying that everything is important to her, but she turned around and began to prepare for a rebellion, formed the Liangshan Army, and later fought everywhere, and the time to accompany his wife at home was really a little little.
At the same time, because the expedition against the Western Thieves was in late autumn and harsh winter, Lin Chong didn't want Hu Sanniang to suffer with him, so he let her stay in Liangshanbo to help take care of Zhang Zhenniang, and there was a good companion between the two.
Hu Sanniang was naturally a little reluctant to Lin Chong, but at Lin Chong's insistence, she could only agree, but Xiao Nizi saw that Zhang Zhenniang was pregnant, and a baby would be born when the spring flowers bloomed next year.
Xiao Nizi is also hot-eyed, and she just pesters Lin Chong to have a child every day, so the frequency of the two of them making villains every night is more
Just when Zhu Wu led the army to conquer Goryeo, and 30,000 cavalry were about to go to the West to fight the Xixi thieves, Hu Sanniang seemed to be pregnant, but the time was still short, and even the divine doctor An Daoquan could not draw conclusions from the pulse.
However, Lin Chong and Hu Sanniang naturally knew this, and ninety percent of them did.
In this way, there are two pregnant women in the family at once, even if Lin Chong faces the Western Xia people, Liao people, Jurchens, and even Song robbers and bandits, the court officials and soldiers can move forward and be invincible.
But in front of his two wives and two children who were about to be born, Lin Chong's heart instantly became extremely soft.
Many times men are like this, they can face a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, but it is difficult to face their beloved.
Speaking of which, if it weren't for the confusion of crossing over to the world of the Water Margin at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, and making up his mind to stop the shame of Jingkang, save the world, and do an earth-shattering career, in fact, Lin Chong (Lin Cong) is just an ordinary person in later generations, and naturally there are ordinary people's emotions.
The two wives are pregnant, and as husbands, they should take more care of them at home, accompanying them day and night, but now they have to travel thousands of miles to fight wars, and they are away for more than half a year, and they can't even be with them when their first child is born.
How could Lin Chong not feel guilty?
Every day at home, I didn't know what to say in the face of Zhang Zhenniang and Hu Sanniang, so I had to try to take advantage of the fact that I had not yet set out to accompany them and do more things for them, but I couldn't say anything.
Usually Lin Chong has little time at home, and at this time, he stays at home with his two wives almost all day long, and for a while, the family is naturally full of laughter and harmony, even the little apprentice Guo Shisan is also happy, and even the daily boring practice has become extremely interested.
Of course, Guo Shisan was so happy, in addition to Lin Chong staying at home and having more time to guide him in martial arts, teach him how to boil his shins, and conduct various training for him, another reason why the little guy was happy was that he had made Yang Zaixing, a good friend who was four years older than him.
"Master, I can also gallop a horse now, I can also tie a gun, and my reaction speed is enough, compared to the cavalry team in the army that gets ten salaries, Yang Zaixing can go to the battlefield, I am a little younger than him, Master will take me this time!"
In the courtyard, Lin Chong finished practicing kung fu, finished his muscles and strength, and carefully guided and trained Guo Shisan, so he asked him to continue to practice the big gun rack and pierce the gun, and he was ready to take a bath to accompany the two Zhenniang.
Unexpectedly, Guo Shisan suddenly said such a sentence, and Lin Chong smiled when he heard it.
Speaking of which, Guo Shisan's qualifications are indeed quite good, and it is no wonder that he can see at a glance that his muscles and bones are extraordinary. Although he didn't start practicing martial arts at the age of six or seven at the golden age, and he didn't practice martial arts for a long time, but for more than a year, Guo Shisan's progress can be said to be rapid, and his qualifications are even better than he expected.
It can be said that he is a talented and one-in-a-million genius.
However, compared to Yang Zaixing, Guo Shisan is still much worse, this is the real demon-level peerless general.
For Yang Zaixing's martial arts, Lin Chong just knew that he was very powerful, in the original historical time and space, Yang Zaixing once rode alone into the 100,000 Jin Army array, ready to capture Yan Wushu alive, but he didn't catch it, and after killing hundreds of Jin soldiers, he retreated.
After the battle of Xiaoshang River, Yang Zaixing led 300 cavalry into two teams to patrol, Yang Zaixing led 100 cavalry to go deep into the main force led by Yan Wushu, Yang Zaixing not only did not retreat but took the initiative to catch up, only took 100 cavalry to fight in the Jin Soldier Array, killing the Jurchen heavy generals Wanhu Temu, Qianhu Meng'an, Baihu Mouke, 50 Husband Pu Liyan 100 people, and the rest of the Jurchen armor more than 2,000 people.
Only kill the Jurchen cavalry who have always dared to fight hand-to-hand combat, only dare to shoot with a large team of bows and crossbows, arrows are like flying locusts, Yang Zaixing every arrow on his body, he will break the arrow shaft and fight again, if it is not for the last horse trapped in the mud, I am afraid that Yang Zaixing can really lead the team to fight out of the encirclement.
In the end, although Yang Zaixing was shot to death, he thought that these two battles (the previous single-handedly captured Yan Wushu) had killed the Jin soldiers to the point that everyone was terrified; At the same time, it also greatly inspired the soldiers of the Yue family. Because of this, the Jin soldiers in the later Battle of Yingchang were defeated by the Yue family's army, which was extremely inferior in numbers.
These records of the words and deeds in various historical materials, even if you read it hundreds of years later, you can still imagine that Yang Zaixing is brave and invincible, and he is a natural general.
Lin Chong had already overestimated Yang Zaixing as much as possible, but after a period of contact and understanding, Yang Zaixing's strength and unlimited potential still opened Lin Chong's eyes.
I think that Lin Chong also practiced martial arts since he was a child, and because he became sharp and sharp after crossing, he was sharp and powerful, and his thoughts were accessible, and his martial arts improved by more than five or six percent, and it was Lu Junyi, who was known as Hebei's guns and sticks, and Lin Chong was also confident that he would win.
But in the face of Yang Zaixing, Lin Chong did not have this confidence.
It's not that Lin Chong can't beat Yang Zaixing now, the two have also fought many times, and each time Yang Zaixing loses after sixty or seventy rounds.
But this is only because Yang Zaixing's muscles and bones have not yet grown, his strength and endurance are not as good as Lin Chong's, and his actual combat experience is too far behind, but Yang Zaixing's reaction speed and meaning are not inferior to himself at all.
As long as he is allowed to train on the battlefield for a few years, and he usually fights with many masters of the Liangshan Army, when he reaches the age of twenty and becomes an adult, Lin Chong will definitely not be Yang Zaixing's opponent.
At that time, this Yang Zaixing is simply not a human, but a real demon, a natural god!
"Thirteen, don't compare with Yang Zaixing, he is fifteen, you are only eleven, and he practiced martial arts at the age of five, and it has been ten years now, and his martial arts have been completed; You've only been practicing martial arts for a year now, and you haven't laid a solid foundation yet, how can you compare with him? ”
Guo Shisan was suddenly full of frustration and lowered his head, Lin Chong saw that his little face was full of disappointment, so he touched the top of his head and said, "Thirteen, this Yang Zaixing is a brave general who can hardly be found in hundreds of years." You have a relationship with him, and you can get along, remember to support and take care of each other when you go to the battlefield in the future, and remember not to let Yang Zaixing rush too hard. ”
The so-called rigidity is easy to break, and strong is humiliating, Yang Zaixing is too confident in his martial arts, so he fell in Xiaoshanghe, and now that Yang Zaixing is under his command, Lin Chong naturally does not want to see such a thing happen again.
Guo Shisan nodded as if he didn't understand, Lin Chong patted him on the shoulder, said a word and continued to stick the gun three hundred times, and then prepared to go back to take a bath, but at this moment, he saw Lu Fang running with a person in a hurry, and when he saw Lin Chong, he shouted from afar.
"Brother, something happened to the Daimyo's Mansion!"
When Lin Chong heard this, a premonition suddenly welled up in his heart? What can happen to the Daimyo's Mansion, could it be Song Jiang and Wu use these two goods to frame Lu Junyi again?
"But Lu Junyi Lu Yuan is out of business? Don't rush, take your time. ”
Lu Fang and Shen Yang, who was with him, nodded hurriedly, and they were also impressed in their hearts, the Secret Dao Army Master was really able to pinch and calculate, and he knew everything as soon as he said it.
"That's the case, a few days ago, Liang Zhongshu, who was left behind in Beijing, suddenly received a false accusation from Li Duguan, Lu Yuanwai's family, saying that he 'colluded with traitors and prepared to attack the Daimyo's mansion with both inside and outside', and then Liang Zhongshu arrested Lu Yuanwai and put him in prison and put him on death ......row."
The two of them soon Lin Chong came forward, took a slight breath, and explained the ins and outs of the incident to Lin Chong in detail.
However, if you want to talk about Lu Junyi, you have to start with Song Jiang first.
It turned out that as early as when the Liangshan Army first went out to Western Xia, Song Jiang relied on his good reputation of making friends in black and white earlier, and being kind and good at charity, and squandering wealth, and came to a big tandem in the green forest of Jingdong Road.
In addition, at that time, the Liangshan army wanted to clean up the trade road on Jingdong Road, and was determined to exterminate all the green forest cottages in the territory, but it did Song Jiang a great favor.
Under the pressure of the Liangshan Army, such as Purple Mountain, Peach Blossom Mountain, Lianyun Village, and Umbrella Mountain, these big and small cottages really connected Song Jiang, and he was determined to follow Song Jiang to Hebei Province to find a place to settle down and gather together.
In addition to these robbers with cottages, many villains who worked alone, such as Wang Daoren, and big landlords who were very angry with the people in the township, such as Zhaoxin and Gao Liang in Mengyin County, Yizhou, were all gathered together by Song Jiang.
Even in the end, Song Jiang took Dong Ping, Sun Li, Wang Daoren, Zhao Xin, Gao Liang and other masters to Erlong Mountain, saying that they wanted to vote for Erlong Mountain and seek the protection of Chao Gai.
