The bad news continued to spread to Bianliang, first of all, the 10,000 Yun army was attacked by the bandits at night, the whole army was annihilated, and the main general Liu Yi died in the chaos of the army, this news shocked the Qi army, Liu Yu ordered to block the news, and the news was not allowed to reach the people.

But only two days later, a news came that the 20,000 troops led by Chen Zhiyuan were defeated by Zhang Rong's bandits on the battlefield, and the 20,000 troops were wiped out, and less than 1,000 people fled.

This news could no longer be blocked, and it spread throughout the entire Bianliang City in an instant, and soon, the news that the previous 10,000 Yun soldiers were completely annihilated was also exposed, and the two news were like two ceremonial flowers flying into the air and exploding, attracting cheers from the people of the whole city.

Although the 300,000 people of Bianliang could not move south for various reasons, their hearts still yearned for the Great Song Dynasty, under the high pressure of Jin Bing and Liu Yu, they buried this thought deep in their hearts, and the defeat of the Qi army, the news of the destruction of the 30,000 army made the people unable to bear it anymore, and the long-suppressed passion broke out, and the city celebrated the defeat of the Qi army.

But for Liu Yu himself and his men, this news brought them a heavy blow.

The palace of Qi is the original palace, although Liu Yu is only the king of Qi, but his pomp and luxury are no different from the emperor, and even the hundreds of officials under him also have the title of prime minister, Taishi, etc., Liu Yu is just missing the title of an emperor.

Liu Yu himself was also fighting for the title of emperor, and Wan Yanxian also promised him that as long as his army exceeded 200,000, he would support him to ascend the throne and become emperor.

It was only a storm in Liangshanbo that dealt a heavy blow to his plan to become emperor, and in just one month, his army had been reduced to less than 100,000 men.

In the side hall of Daqing Palace, Liu Yu and more than a dozen important officials discussed the next countermeasures.

Although his brother Liu Yi died in the chaos, at this time, Liu Yu was not in the mood to grieve his brother's death for the time being, and he was now even more anxious about how to exterminate this gang of bandits under his nose.

"I also have to bear some responsibility for the fiasco of the army this time."

Liu Yu sighed and said to everyone: "I was too light on the enemy, thinking that this bandit was a rabble, now I know that I was wrong, the same number of troops, my 10,000 Yuncong army and 20,000 regular army, actually can't beat each other, I can't believe it, don't hide it from you, my current mood is still in extreme shock, and I can't figure out the reason for the fiasco." ”

Zhang Khan of the Qi Palace's Prime Minister Zhang Khan said: "In fact, His Royal Highness has just said the reason for the defeat of the army, that is, the enemy is light, we think that the other party is the same as the so-called righteous army before, they are all vulnerable rabble, but we have forgotten a key point, Liangshanbo, this is the old nest of the Liangshan army, hundreds of thousands of Liangshan troops were disbanded after being recruited, most of them are distributed in Yunzhou, Jeju and nearby prefectures and counties.

And the few people who started this time were all generals of the former Liangshan Army, so the troops they recruited must have been the old troops in the past, and I heard that more than 100,000 people ran to enlist, and they only selected 20,000 or 30,000 people, which shows that they selected elites, so the enemy army we faced was not an ordinary bandit army, but an elite Liangshan army, and the defeat was reasonable. ”

Liu Yu was a little displeased and said, "Why didn't Xiangguo persuade me before these words?" ”

Zhang Cambodia said apologetically: "Wechen is also hindsight, and it took Wechen to figure out these problems after the defeat of the army." ”

Liu Yu had to hold back the sullenness in his heart and said to everyone: "Let's talk about it!" What do we do next? ”

Zhang Cambodia once again came out and said: "Your Highness, now we can't easily send troops, otherwise there will be a big hole in the defense, and I think that at this time, we can only ask the Jin soldiers for help, and the Jin soldiers will deal with Zhang Rong's bandits." ”

Liu Yu recalled his army, Huaibei only had 40,000 troops, plus 40,000 in Luoyang and Bianjing, the main army was only 80,000, and there were some scattered troops scattered all over the place, and he did not dare to move, he really had no troops to deal with.

What's more, if Zhang Rong is not exterminated, the entire Shandong Peninsula will fall.

Thinking of this, he nodded, "Okay! Immediately asked Wan Yan Xian for help. ”

．．．．．．．．

Wan Yan Xian has already received a report from the Daimyo's Mansion that there is a huge bandit in the Liangshanbo area, Wan Yan Xian did not take it to heart at first, this kind of civil resistance organization has long been commonplace in Hebei, Jin Bing has suppressed at least 100 such bandits in Hebei, and besides, it is a rebellion under Liu Yu's eyes, and this kind of trivial matter does not need him to take action.

Wan Yan Xian also put the report of the Daimyo Mansion on the shelf, and no longer paid attention to this matter, until the second report of the Daimyo's Mansion came, this bandit completely annihilated the 5,000 army of Zhang Jian, the prefect of Jinan, Wan Yan Xian also paid attention to it, and he immediately ordered the intelligence spies of the Daimyo Mansion to pay close attention to this rebel army and collect all their information.

Wan Yan Xian also paid attention not only to the bandits themselves, he was also worried that there were no soldiers stationed on the two roads of Jingdong, which was a big problem, so he immediately sent someone to send a letter to Liu Yu and ordered Liu Yu to restore order on the two roads of Jingdong as soon as possible.

Before Liu Yu could ask for support, Wan Yan Xian also received the third report sent by the Daimyo's Mansion, and the Liangshan Bo bandits completely annihilated Liu Yu's 30,000 troops, including 10,000 Yun Cong's army.

At the same time, Wan Yan Xian also received a letter from Liu Yu asking for help, begging to send Jin soldiers to suppress the Liangshan bandits.

This news really shocked Wan Yanxie, and he immediately summoned Zhang Wenzhu, a Han official, who was Tong Guan's confidant, who served as the deputy envoy of Jingdong and Jingdong during the Xuanhe period, and also served as the governor of Jeju, and knew the situation in the Liangsanbo area well.

"Qiyu is handsome, Liangshanbo is called Dayozawa in the two Han Dynasty, called Juye Lake in the Sui and Tang dynasties, it was not renamed Liangshanbo until the Song Dynasty, it has always been the largest lake in the Central Plains, with a radius of eight hundred miles, there are countless large and small islands in it, the reeds are thick, the water swings are densely spread, it belongs to the place where the government does not care, and it is the hiding place of bandits since ancient times.

Ten years ago, the Song Dynasty opened the Xicheng Office in the area of Liangshanbo, and sent the eunuch Yang Jian to plunder the land around Liangshanbo, which caused the 36 generals of Liangshan to rebel, the momentum was huge, Yang Jian could not suppress it, but died in the hands of the Liangshan army, and later Gao Yu and Tong Guan led the army to suppress it, and it was also repeatedly defeated, until the division was in command, and the Liangshan army was suppressed, and finally the Liangshan army accepted the imperial court, and more than 100,000 troops were disbanded on the spot, and the 36 generals were also sealed by the imperial court, but later the leader Song Jiang thought that he was deceived by the imperial court and wanted to raise troops again, was suppressed by the imperial court, and almost all of the thirty-six generals were demoted to commoners. ”

"You're saying that this army is very combat-ready?" Wan Yan Xian also asked.

"Quite strong, the thirty-six generals were originally desperate outlaws, gathered in Liangshan, they trained the army very well, rewards and punishments, rewarded military merits, so the combat effectiveness is very strong, the imperial court army at least hundreds of thousands of troops were defeated in their hands, so that they got excellent armor."

Wan Yan Xian also took the report, looked at it and asked, "Zhang Rong, Shi Xiu, Liu Tang, are these three old generals of Liangshan?" ”

"Exactly! They are all the top-ranked leaders of the Liangshan Army. ”

Wan Yan Xian also nodded, he now understood, no wonder this bandit was able to completely annihilate Liu Yu's 30,000 army, it turned out to be the foundation of the Liangshan army, presumably their 30,000 soldiers were all the old Liangshan troops in the past.

He groaned and asked, "Liu Yu's report said that this army is well-equipped, do you think it's possible?" ”

Zhang Wenzhu nodded, "It's entirely possible, there are as many as 300,000 pairs of armor transported to Liangshanbo by the humble post alone, and there are a large number of military armor from the imperial court. ”

"Then what will happen if Jin Guo recruits them?"

Zhang Wenzhu smiled bitterly, "Then you have to ask why they rebelled?" ”

Wan Yan Xian was also a little annoyed suddenly, and snorted heavily, "This useless Liu Yu can't even deal with the rebellious bandits, can I still count on him to deal with the Song army for me?" ”

Zhang Wenzhu said cautiously: "Marshal Du, there is a saying about lowly duties, I don't know whether to say it or not?" ”

"You say!"

"I feel that most of Liu Yu's army is the original local army, and the so-called Yun Congjun is also exaggerated, and the combat effectiveness is not better than the previous Song army, and it is not realistic to ask them to suppress the Liangshan bandits, and to suppress the Liangshan bandits, they have to rely on the elite cavalry of the Jin State."

Wan Yan Xian also took a few steps with his hands down, and said a little worriedly: "But Jin Bing can't fight in the water, is it appropriate to go to Liangshanbo?" ”

"Marshal Du, Liangshanbo is just their hiding place, as long as the Jin soldiers hold Yunzhou and Jeju, they will basically be trapped in Liangshanbo, within a few months, they will not be able to survive and surrender, the Liangshan army has been operating for more than ten years to gain a foothold in Liangshanbo, this army is only two months, it is untenable in Liangshanbo, the lowly position is very clear about this, they are in Liangshanbo, but the family is not there, Marshal Du understands the meaning of the lowly position?"

Wan Yan Xian also nodded, he understood what Zhang Wenshu meant, he thought for a while, the Jin soldiers in Xuzhou were dealing with the Northern Expedition of the Song Army, and they couldn't move, and the Jin soldiers in Yanshan Mansion still needed time to integrate, and they couldn't move for the time being, and the only thing that could be mobilized was the 30,000 Jin soldiers in the Daimyo Mansion.

There were 50,000 troops stationed in the Daimyo's Mansion, and in addition to 30,000 Jin soldiers, there were also 20,000 Hebei Hebei troops.

Wan Yan Xian also pondered for a long time, so he issued an order to transfer 30,000 gold soldiers from the Daimyo Mansion to Yunzhou, and at the same time appointed Zhang Wenzhu as the capital of Jingdong and Jingdong, and mobilized all the resources of Jingdong and Lianglu to support the Jin soldiers to exterminate the Liangshan bandits.
