Just when Shi Wengong led the victorious army to return to Liangshan, the 100,000 troops led by Tong Guan were all defeated, and the news that Marshal Tong Guan was also captured by the Liangshan thieves was also transmitted back to the Imperial Palace in Tokyo City.

After hearing that the army led by Natong Guan had all been wiped out in Naliang Shanbo, Emperor Huizong and his ministers were in a panic. Subsequently, the Taishi Cai Jing stepped forward and said.

"Your Majesty, the Liangshan bandit uses the outer water as a barrier to occupy a favorable location. The generals led by General Tong Guan were all ignorant of water and did not have many ships, so they suffered a big loss. The old minister thought that His Majesty should build a ship on the same day, and at the same time send a good general to conquer the Liangshan bandits, and not let them breathe. ”

At this time, Gao Yu also stepped forward in a timely manner and said, "Your Majesty, the lower officials are not talented, I hope that this is a heavy responsibility!" ”

After listening to what Cai Jing and Gao Yu said, Emperor Huizong also thought deeply in his heart, and then said with his head bowed, "I have good ministers and famous generals, why worry about thieves and thieves, okay, according to what the two Aiqing said, they will collect the army again to conquer Liangshan, and at the same time send more people to build a good ship for the army to conquer Liangshan!" ”

"Yes!" Subsequently, Emperor Huizong retired from the court, and all the ministers dispersed.

At this time, that Gao Yu went to the privy council with Cai Jing and said, "Taishi, this time the official will conquer Liangshan again, and he will definitely break his cottage, and then rescue Tong Shumi, please rest assured." ”

After Cai Jing heard this, he said to Gao Yu in a serious tone, "Captain Gao, this expedition to Liangshan is of great significance, but you must not lose it." I also invited a general who is good at water warfare to the saint, this person's name is Liu Menglong, I believe that with this person and the help of the big ship, the Taiwei will definitely make a great achievement this time, and when the Taiwei triumphs in Beijing, don't forget the old minister. ”

After hearing this, Gao Yu got up and bowed to each other and said, "Xiaguan naturally doesn't dare, thank you Taishi for taking care of Xiaguan so much, Xiaguan will go back to the house and prepare to go." ”

"Go, go. The old man no longer got up to send him off. Immediately, this Gao Yu said goodbye to Cai Jing and the two.

And after Gao Yu left Cai Jing and returned to his own mansion, he first went to the place where his beloved son Gao Ya was enshrined, personally put a few pillars of incense on him, and said fiercely.

"My son, my father will soon lead a large army to conquer Liangshan and avenge you, may my son's spirit in heaven bless my father, and catch the murderer to avenge your blood hatred, so as to comfort my son's spirit in heaven!"

On the second day, this Gao Yu allocated ten documents, and 10,000 elite soldiers belonging to each ministry went to Jeju to collect them and wait for the call. The ten knots are not trivial, each leading 10,000 troops, and advancing at the same time.

These ten people are: Wang Huan of Henan and Hebei Jiedu, Xu Jing of Shangdang Taiyuan Jiedu, Wang Wende of Jingbei Hongnongjiedu, Mei Zhan of Yingzhou Runanjiedu, Zhang Kai of Zhongshan Anping Jiedu, Yang Wen of Jiangxia Lingling Jiedu, Han Cunbao of Yunzhong Hanyang Jiedu, Li Congji of Longxi Hanyang Jiedu, Xiangyuanzhen of Langya Pengcheng Jiedu, and Jingzhong of Qinghe Tianshui Jiedu.

At the same time, in the Jiankang Mansion in Jinling, Liu Menglong, the ruler of the naval army who was handpicked by the Taishi Cai Jing, had meritorious service in begging for thieves in the Xichuan Gorge River, and was promoted to the commander of the official army, commanding 15,000 naval troops and 500 large ships. At the same time, he sent a confidant, called Niu Bangxi, and also made a military captain, and came to contact Gao Yu to obey orders.

Besides, there are many generals under Gao Yu's tent, and Gao Yu's expedition is imminent, so he selects the two brothers who are the most successful in martial arts, one is called Dang Shiying, the other is called Dang Shixiong, and the two brothers see that they are rulers, and they each have the courage to be inappropriate.

Gao Yu went to the imperial camp again, selected 15,000 elite soldiers, a total of 130,000 military horses from all over the place, and sent grain and grass to the officials on all roads before them, and paid them along the way. Gao Yu straightened his clothes and armor for days, made flags, and set off on the march within a few days.

After Dai Zong found out that the imperial court was so aggressive and vowed to exterminate Liangshan in one fell swoop, Wen Huanzhang and others said, "It seems that this time the imperial court has invested enough money to fight with me Liangshan." ”

At this time, Li Kui, who had never led the army down the mountain to fight with the imperial court soldiers and horses, and the others all shouted, "Haha, it's just right, Lao Tzu is still worried that the previous court soldiers are too weak, and we haven't even gone into battle, so we have already been defeated, and we are not happy." Now that the Dog Emperor has sent someone to attack again, but he just wants me to wait for my brother to have a good time! ”

After hearing this, Lin Chong, Lu Zhishen and the others also followed and said, "Yes, since the imperial court sent the dog thief Gao Yu to lead the army in person this time, then we will beat him even more, and strive for the next while, capture that guy alive, so that I can get angry!" ”

Seeing that after all the generals heard that the army was coming, not only did they not have the slightest fear or fear, but they were also eager to try, and after the battle, Wen Huanzhang and Gongsun Sheng Zhu Wu were also happy.

And at this moment, Wang Dingliu sent people back to the mountain to report that Li Jiao and Zhao Long returned to the cottage to meet the people who needed to emigrate. And, with them, there was also the Shenwu Army led by Guan Sheng.

After hearing that Guan Sheng and the Shenwei Army had returned to the cottage, everyone was stunned, and then they were puzzled, "Guan Tongjun, why did he come back with the Shenwu Army?" Could it be that my brother was worried that we would not be able to hold this cottage, so he specially sent Guan Tongjun back to help? My brother is too underestimating me, so I'm waiting! ”

Lu Zhishen is so quick to talk, what to say, he said what the generals thought in their hearts regardless of the occasion.

After hearing Lu Zhishen's complaints, Wen Huanzhang, Lin Chong and the others all looked at each other, and at the same time, they also had the same thoughts as Lu Zhishen in their hearts, thinking that their brother underestimated themselves and others.

But then, it was Wen Huanzhang who got up and mobilized everyone, and said, "No matter what, when the Guan Tongjun and the Shenwu Army return to Liangshan, we will also go to greet them, generals, please go down the mountain with a certain person to welcome Guan Tongjun and other generals back to the cottage!" ”

After hearing Wen Huanzhang's words, everyone praised it as the extreme, and then forced their hearts to be unwilling, and went down to the cottage with Wen Huanzhang to welcome Guan Sheng and other soldiers back to the mountain.

After everyone met with Na Guan Sheng and the others, Na Lu Zhishen took the lead in asking, "Guan Tongjun, you are not in Nagoryeo Tamluo to follow your brother to expand the territory, but you go back to the cottage to do something, is it possible that my brother is worried that I will not be able to hold this Liangshan village, and I specially sent Brother Guan to come back to help?" ”

Guan Sheng was confused by Lu Zhishen's words, and then he shook his head, and then said with a smile: "Haha, Lu Tongjun, you are really joking, now that the war in Goryeo has ended, my brother and others are all about to return triumphantly, and I and the Shenwu Army are just the pioneers of my brother and other armies, but what inexplicable words did I say?" ”

The generals were overjoyed when they heard that the war in Goryeo had ended, and that his brother would lead the army back to the mountain in triumph in a few days. At this time, Na Lu Zhishen also realized that he was wrong, but then, they were all occupied by the good news brought back by Guan Sheng, but they left all the unhappy times behind and began to cheer wildly.

Even Hu Sanniang, who was raising a baby in the room, heard the cheers coming from the front of the golden beach, and after sending someone to inquire about the news, she was also very happy. Na Cheng thought that after hearing this good news, even the child in his belly became restless, as if he was going to rush out tonight and cheer for his father with his mother.
