After the two generals of Pengju and Chen Zhu waited until Tong Guan led a group of soldiers to arrive here, and reported to Tong Guan that Liangshanbo had reduced his troops to return to Liangshan, Tong Guan was overjoyed.

"Haha, it seems that what Taishi Taiwei said is really good, these Liangshan thieves really divided their troops to go overseas, but the current troops in the cottage are not enough to resist our army, so they naturally want to shrink on all fronts, so as to delay time."

After hearing what Tong Guan said, Chen Zhu said, "Since this is the case, then we should march at night, go up the mountain, and break through his Liangshan village as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night." ”

After hearing this, Tong Guan nodded happily and said, "Well, what Chen Dujian said is very true, but I am really tired from waiting for the army to come from a long distance, and I am not in a hurry to break the enemy at this time, tonight I will take a little rest, and wait until tomorrow, and then march into the mountains to suppress bandits." ”

At this time, that section of Pengju admonished again, "Marshal, although the Liangshan thieves are scarce and there is nothing to worry about, it is inevitable that there will be wise people among the thieves." According to what the last general has seen, we must not be too lax tonight, in case the Liang Mountain thieves come down the mountain to rob the camp. ”

What Duan Pengju said was very true, but unfortunately, his boss was a proud and arrogant Tong Guan. In the past, when he set out on the expedition, he didn't take these Liangshan bandits in his eyes, but now after hearing that the Liangshan bandits were so frightened that they shrank their forces and retreated to the cottage, they sneered at them even more.

Immediately, Tong Guan laughed and said, "Haha, Duan Dujian doesn't need to be so afraid of him, thinking that Liangshan thieves are just grass cowards, but how could they think of such a thing." Besides, now they are looking forward to the return of our defenders to Beijing, so how dare they come to provoke without authorization. ”

Subsequently, that section of Pengju wanted to persuade again, but Tong Guan ignored it, and directly ordered the army to bury the pot and make rice, rest and recuperate, and wait until tomorrow to march again.

After seeing Tong Guan so arrogant and complacent, Duan Pengju was very angry in his heart. But that Tong Guan is the marshal of the army, even if Duan Pengju is dissatisfied with him, it is not easy to show it.

At this time, he saw Wu Bingyi, the eunuch of the Chenzhou soldiers and horses, come forward, and secretly said to Duan Pengju, "Duan Dujian, since the marshal doesn't believe that the Liangshan bandit will come to attack the camp and wants to rest, let's go with him." ”

"However, the last general and Duan Dujian think the same, you and I might as well lead the army to ambush outside the camp tonight, if the Liangshan bandit really comes to attack the camp, then you and I can take this opportunity to make a contribution, and at the same time come up with evidence to show the marshal, but isn't it better than the general arguing here in vain?"

After hearing what Wu Bingyi said, that section of Pengju deeply agreed, and then the two of them led their soldiers and horses that night, quietly walked out of the camp, and ambushed in the dark, waiting for the Liangshan attack camp thieves to come.

But this Pengju and Wu Bingyi and their soldiers waited for a night but did not see half a figure, which made the two embarrassed, and finally looked at each other speechlessly and returned in a huff.

Although Pengju and Wu Bingyi stayed awake all night and guarded the air, but that Tong Guan and the other six soldiers and horses were all overseers and the two good generals of the Imperial Forest Army were resting enough, and then they saw that Tong Guan led the army and pulled up the camp and marched towards Naliang Mountain.

And Tong Guan saw that this Pengju and Wu Bingyi were listless, and after repeatedly drinking and questioning, he realized that these two people did not listen to the order of the general last night and went out to ambush, Tong Guan was very angry and shouted.

"Did Ben Shuai say that there is no need to do such a useless thing, but why don't you two obey the general's order, come here, and I will punish these two people with 20 boards, and also, go into the mountains today to suppress bandits, you two don't have to go!"

Then, I saw this Tong Guan flick his sleeves and move forward without looking back, but only Duan Pengju and Wu Bingyi, who were all in their hearts, were left with the executioner.

Not to mention the two generals Duan Pengju and Wu Bingyi, who were punished by the rod, only said that this Tong Guan led an army of 80,000 to kill in Liangshanbo, but before he reached the river, he had already encountered countless traps one after another, killing many soldiers.

These traps were naturally made by the two brothers who led the two thousand mountain camps in the past ten days, using their usual methods of catching beasts, but they were extremely easy to use to deal with these tens of thousands of imperial court troops, and almost every trap came in handy.

After seeing the original appearance of these traps, Tong Guan sneered and said, "Hmph, a group of wild people outside the mountains, but they only know how to use this method of catching beasts to deal with us and other heavenly soldiers. Although our army suffered casualties, it did no harm. Tell the whole army, be ready for battle, clear the way for the forward troops, and don't fall into the enemy's trap again! ”

For Tong Guan, who was eager to capture Liangshan to establish his meritorious prestige in front of the saint and the Taishi Taiwei, these small traps in front of him were to stop his determination to capture Liangshan Dazhai urgently.

After leaving thousands of corpses between the woods and mountains, it also arrived at the water pool that surrounded Liangshan Mountain.

Tong Guan had an army of 100,000, but he still didn't care much about the lives of the thousands of soldiers he lost. And this attitude of not putting the lives of the soldiers in the eyes is also deeply reflected in the eyes of the generals around him.

After seeing that there was a water pool blocking the way here, Tong Guan shouted, "Where is Wang Yi!" ”

Wang Yi, the commander of the Dengzhou soldiers and horses, stepped forward and bowed, "Back to the marshal, the last general!" ”

"Ben Shuai told you before, did you bring the raft he wanted you to prepare?"

"Back to the marshal, the last general has ordered all the soldiers to be brought, and now he is only waiting for the marshal to order to board the ship and march."

After hearing Wang Yi's reply, Tong Guan was very satisfied, then nodded, and said with a smile: "Well, very good, ask your soldiers to immediately set up a raft in this water pool, and then board the whole army to march when they are ready." ”

"Yes, the last general obeys!" Afterwards, I saw that Wang Yi led his soldiers to hurriedly set up the raft, and led a group of soldiers to board the boat and enter the water to return to Tong Guan.

At this time, Tong Guan also boarded the ship under the escort of the two generals of the beautiful Bi Sheng, of course, Tong Guan was not on a raft, but a wooden boat carefully prepared by Wang Yi for him, and its quality and stability were many times better than other rafts.

Seeing that Wang Yi was so sensible, Tong Guan was also overjoyed, and then saw him smile and said, "Well, yes, Wang Dujian has a heart, and he also asked Wang Dujian to share a boat with Ben Shuai, and then go to the army." ”

When Wang Yi heard this, he was overjoyed, and then bowed his head and said, "Thank you marshal, the last general." Then he stepped on the wooden boat that Tong Guan was riding, and then set off with him, heading towards the Liangshan Village.
