At night, Song Jiang was quite uneasy in his heart, standing in front of the big tent and looking at the north alone, he connected to two 800-li urgent express sent by Wang Ying at dusk, 5,000 officers and soldiers raided Xucheng County, the situation in Xucheng County was critical, Wang Ying pleaded with the withdrawal of troops for rescue.

This news really made Song Jiang restless, and he began to realize that he had made a mistake in moving south, and he should have left a part of his army in Xucheng County.

Song Jiang responded to the 30,000 army of the Seed Master Dao this time, he still used the method of defeating the official army several times before, concentrated the superior forces and the opponent to fight a decisive battle, and defeated the opponent in one fell swoop, this time Song Jiang was deeply stimulated by Zhao'an, and was too eager to defeat the official army, so that he pressed the 80,000 army on the front line of Juye County, and wanted to fight a decisive battle with the Seed Master Dao in Juye County, but the development of the situation was not as he imagined.

At this moment, a small flash of fire suddenly flashed in the distant sky, and it disappeared in a moment, and the soldiers all exclaimed, and they could see the flash of fire in Sucheng County two hundred miles away, and they could imagine how violent the explosion was.

"Owner of the village, it should be the firearms depot on the dock that exploded!" Wu Yong, the military advisor, appeared beside Song Jiang at some point, staring at the fire in the north with him.

"It must be Li Yanqing!"

Song Jiang secretly gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "I still underestimate him." ”

Wu Yong did not say a word, before the army went south, they lost contact with Zhang Cen, they estimated that Zhang Cen may have been wiped out, and they also reminded Song Jiang, but he resolutely did not believe that Zhang Cen would fail, and secondly, he believed that Li Yanqing would be stationed in Hebei and would not go south easily, and it turned out that Song Jiang not only misjudged the situation in Hebei, but also underestimated Li Yanqing.

"Make up for the loss, the owner of the village should send an army to garrison Yunzhou as soon as possible, after all, Yunzhou is the foundation of our business for many years, not only Sucheng County, but also a large number of military families in other counties, Yunzhou is unstable, and the military heart is unstable!"

Song Jiang didn't understand this truth, he had already decided to send troops back to help, but he couldn't make up his mind how many troops to send back.

"How many troops does the military advisor think I should send back to Yunzhou?" Although Song Jiang didn't want to show weakness in front of Wu Yong, Wu Yong's sentence 'If Yunzhou is unstable, the army's heart is unstable' really stabbed him to the core.

"I think I have to send at least 20,000 reinforcements!"

"Twenty thousand!"

Song Jiang was taken aback, "Do you want so many troops?" ”

"Zhai master, 20,000 is the minimum number, after all, to control the counties of Yunzhou, in my opinion, 20,000 is still not enough."

"Okay!"

Song Jiang made up his mind, "Then according to your suggestion, send 20,000 troops back, how about I let Shi Jin lead the army back?" ”

"Shi Jin's martial arts are good, but he can only fight alone, he has no ability to command ten thousand troops, he can only be a general, he can't be a commander, I suggest sending Hu Yanxuan or Dong Ping to lead the army north, both of them have good command ability."

Song Jiang pondered and was silent, Hu Yanxuan was a general of the imperial court, he had never trusted it very much, it was too much for him to command 3,000 troops, let alone command 20,000 troops, Dong Ping was even worse, he was not only a general of the forbidden army, but also Lu Junyi's person, how could he let such a person control Yunzhou?

Wu Yong understood Song Jiang's thoughts, and persuaded him: "At the moment of the great enemy, we must use available people, and don't worry too much about some small shortcomings." ”

Song Jiang sighed with his hand, "The military advisor doesn't understand that people's hearts are terrible, I have been deeply touched in my life, I have been betrayed again and again, and the imperial court has offered rich conditions, if the old officials of the imperial court can lead the army to surrender, not only will they not be guilty of the past, but they can also be promoted to knighthood, can Hu Yanqiu, Dong Ping and others not be moved?" Give them 20,000 troops, which is exactly the step to the body! ”

Song Jiang's worries are not unreasonable, usually everyone drinks wine and eats meat, calls brothers and brothers, and is peaceful, but when it comes to the moment of crisis, all kinds of contradictions hidden by Liang Shanjun will be revealed, everyone will have their own ideas, as Song Jiang, the owner of the village who has always been good at perceiving people's hearts, he knows it well.

Wu Yong was speechless, and after a while, Song Jiang finally made up his mind and said: "I let Chai Jin lead the army north, he has literary talent and has always been calm, although his martial arts are slightly inferior, I will let Shi Jin and Shi Xiu, two strong martial artists, assist him, so that there is a literary attack and martial arts strategy, and this matter is so decided." ”

Although Wu Yong felt that it was still not appropriate, since the owner of the village had made up his mind, he could only express his support, "The situation is urgent, I hope to come to the north as soon as possible!" ”

Song Jiang nodded, "I'll leave overnight tonight!" ”

That night, Song Jiang ordered Chai Jin to be the main general, Shi Jin and Shi Xiu to be the deputy generals, and the three of them led an army of 20,000 to rush north to rescue Xucheng County and counter Li Yanqing's harassment of Yunzhou.......

Just as the 20,000 Liangshan army reinforcements left the camp and headed north, they were discovered by the official scouts lurking on the periphery, and they hurriedly returned to the camp to report this important information to the planter.

The time was gradually getting late at night, and the big tent of the Planter Dao was still brightly lit, and the Planter Dao was pacing back and forth in the big tent with his hands, waiting for the news of the scouts.

Seed Master Dao also received an urgent express report sent by Li Yanqing, and learned that Li Yanqing had led the army into Yunzhou, he knew that there would be movement in Liangshan's army tonight, and he was very concerned about how Liangshan would rescue Yunzhou, which was related to the success or failure of his entire battle.

Seed Master Dao has been in the army for fifty years, of course he knows how he can defeat the enemy's 100,000 army with 30,000 troops, the key is that he has to pinch the seven inches of the Liangshan Army, and the Seed Master Dao knows very well where the seven inches of the Liangshan Army are? It's in Yunzhou.

He dragged the enemy's main force with the main force, and then invaded Yunzhou with a surprise army, dragging Song Jiang's 100,000 troops to death step by step.

At this time, there was a sound of hurried footsteps from the big tent, and the seed master hurriedly walked to the front of the tent, only to hear the soldiers reporting outside, "Marshal Qiqi, General Liu sent news!" ”

Seed Master Dao was a little disappointed, he thought it was Song Jiang's news, of course, Liu Qian's information was also very important, so he asked, "Where is General Liu now?" ”

"General Liu has already passed Yun County, but he has not alarmed the defenders of Yun County."

Seed Master Dao returned to the map, looking at Liu Qian's marching route, Yun County is located west of Liangshanbo, and Shouzhang County of Yunzhou, together with Shouzhang County, has become the outer defense line of Liangshan, although I don't know how many troops Song Jiang deployed in these two counties, but the garrison is certain, Liangshan is the birthplace of Song Jiang, although it is not as important as Xucheng County, but it is still the spiritual holy land of the Liangshan Army.

At this moment, Uncle Zhang's voice came from outside, "Please report to the commander, I have important information." ”

Seed Master Dao hurriedly walked out of the big tent and asked, "But Song Jiang sent troops?" ”

Uncle Zhang smiled slightly, "It seems that the marshal is waiting for this news, and he did send troops, and the scouts judged that there were about 20,000 people, but for the time being, I don't know who will be in command?" ”

Seed Master Dao couldn't help but rub his hands, and sure enough, he guessed correctly, it was impossible for Song Jiang to withdraw all the troops back, the army was too small and had no effect, and 20,000 people were the most suitable troops.

"Is there any news from Liu Jian over there?" Uncle Zhang asked again.

Seed Master Dao nodded, "It's already over Yun County, and you should arrive in Sucheng the day after tomorrow." ”

"Isn't that a good show going on?"

An unconcealable anticipation flashed in the eyes of the Seed Master, and he looked at the dark sky and sighed, "I look forward to the two of them joining forces to bring us the final victory!" ”

..........

Li Yanqing led the cavalry to wreak havoc around Xucheng County, and then retreated to the southwest of Xucheng County 20 miles away Yunshan, Yunshan is also located in Liangshan, half of the mountain is in the lake, and Liangshan across the lake, it is actually in the same vein as Liangshan, compared to Liangshan's high mountains and deep valleys, ravines and ravines, Yunzhou is much lower, more like a hilly hill, the terrain is not complicated, but the forest is luxuriant, and the endless forest connects Yunshan and Liangshan as a whole.

In the afternoon of this day, Li Yanqing stood by the lake and stared at Liangshan thirty miles away, the water surface was sparkling, as far as the eye could see, Liangshan was like a black awl drilled out of the lake, if he could burn down the Zhongyi Hall of Liangshan, it would be a heavy blow to the Liangshan army, but unfortunately he had too few troops in his hands, and many things could only be thought about and difficult to implement.

At this moment, a soldier rushed forward and reported on one knee: "Commander Qiqi, an army has come from the west, saying that it is a reinforcement sent by the commander, it seems to be ..... Suzaku Camp! ”

Li Yanqing was stunned, and then he was overjoyed, and his reinforcements also came.
