After seeing Uncle Zhang leave at night, Wen Huanzhang said to everyone, "Brothers, now not only my brother and sister-in-law, but even the hundreds of thousands of people in the walled city also have expectations for us, so we must not lose this battle." ”

After hearing Huanzhang's words, Lin Chong, Lu Zhishen and others stood up from their seats one after another, and said, "Please rest assured, the brothers know in their hearts, and they will not fall into the prestige of the elder brother and the cottage." ”

Hearing Lin Chong's words, Wen Huanzhang was relieved, and then he discussed with everyone, "As a certain said before, there are not many soldiers available in my cottage now, and my brother is leading the army to fight overseas, so we can't be too sharp, and we must act as low-key as possible, so that the other party will have the illusion that our Liangshan heroes are afraid of him." ”

Before Wen Huanzhang finished speaking, Lu Zhishen was the first to shout, and said, "Military advisor, although there are not many soldiers in the cottage now, it is still more than enough to deal with these useless court soldiers, why don't we just kill him down the mountain and defeat him for a while, so as to promote the prestige of Liangshan?" ”

Hearing Lu Zhishen shouting, Lin Chong frowned at him and shouted, "Brother Lu, let's listen to the military advisor first, and we will do it." You are so questioning the military advisor's plan decision, do you still want to eat confinement again? ”

After hearing the words "eat confinement", Lu Zhishen lost his temper when he landed, and wilted like a frosted eggplant. It can be said that being locked up in a small black room for a month is a past that Lu Zhishen never wants to look back on in his life.

After seeing Lu Zhishen like this, Lin Chong, Zhang Shun, Shanshiqi, Tang Bin and others couldn't help laughing and laughing. But it eased the tense atmosphere in the Zhongyi Hall.

And after everyone laughed, Wen Huanzhang continued, "What Fang Cai Lu Tongjun said is also reasonable, but it is not advisable. Not to mention the combat effectiveness of the imperial court soldiers and horses led by Tong Guan, but why don't we take advantage of such a great location as Liangshanbo, but instead go to the flat land where there is no geographical advantage to speak of, and fight against the enemy? ”

After hearing Huanzhang's words, everyone present felt that his words were reasonable. Then, Wen Huanzhang continued, "We are like this, just to let the court generals who have always been proud and arrogant despise us in their hearts, and then we will give them a head-on blow." ”

"As long as we truly defeat them, we will remove the contempt in their hearts, and at the same time leave a permanent and indelible mark on them."

After hearing what Wen Huanzhang said, Lin Chong and the others all nodded yes, and even Lu Zhishen, who had been quite complaining before, kept pointing at his big bald head, but the generals laughed again.

Subsequently, Wen Huanzhang dismissed everyone and ordered that no one was allowed to go down the mountain to meet the enemy without authorization, and he wanted to set up the battlefield in the 800 miles of water outside Naliang Mountain, so that the cottage water army could have a good show of might.

After hearing this, Zhang Shun and other leaders of the navy were excited, and stood up and patted Wen Huanzhang's chest to promise that they would not disappoint everyone.

And when Zhang Shun and the others went down to prepare, Wen Huanzhang ordered Zhu Gui and others, who opened a hotel at the entrance of Lijia Road at the foot of the mountain, to recall the cottage first, so as not to let the Tongguan dog thief vent his anger at him because he could not find the Liangshan soldiers.

After arranging everything, Wen Huanzhang said goodbye to everyone, and went to the place where he watched Yuanjing, and reminisced with his classmate and friend.

"Brother Su, you came to my Liangshan Zhao'an on the order of the imperial court, it can be said that you have gone deep into the dangerous place, and you can be regarded as benevolent and righteous to the Song court. But how does the court treat you, you are still in my Liangshan village, I don't know how safe you are, the emperor Lao'er actually sent a large army to kill me Liangshan, and he didn't put your safety in his eyes at all. ”

"Then the court treats you like this, why do you have to work for it, brother. According to what I see, Brother Su, you might as well stay in my Liangshanbo, and work with a certain brother Shi Wengong to do things, I can't say that I can achieve a great cause in the future, and leave a name in history, but I am not very good? ”

After hearing this, Su Yuanjing said, "Brother Wen, I know very well what you want to say, but after all, I am still a captain of the imperial court, but I don't want to be infamous and scolded by someone poking my backbone." Especially now that I'm old, Brother Wen, you let me start from the beginning and end my life. ”

"Although the founding of the country is great, but after all, I am past that age, and I am afraid that I will not be able to do it. So, Brother Wen, you still have to think more about how to retreat from the enemy, but don't waste your tongue on me anymore. ”

Seeing that Su Yuanjing was still so stubborn and unwilling to obey, Wen Huanzhang didn't want to say anything, just sighed heavily, and then said goodbye to him, and walked out of the room, leaving Su Yuanjing alone Looking up at the roof, I don't know what to think.

In the blink of an eye, that Tong Guan had already led the 100,000 army to the foot of this Liang Mountain and set up camp.

Originally, I heard that the imperial court had sent a large army to conquer Liangshan two times before, but they were both defeated, which made Duan Pengju and Chen Zhu, who went out with Tong Guan and were also the main and deputy vanguards, very worried, for fear that they would be attacked by Liangshan when their own troops had not yet arrived.

But everything was unexpectedly quiet, and when Duan Pengju and Chen Zhu led the soldiers to the foot of this Liang Mountain, they did not see any figures.

Subsequently, Duan Pengju and Chen Zhu ordered their soldiers to go into the mountain to search first, but they only saw an empty tavern.

Seeing that this Liangshan actually abandoned all the strongholds under the mountain, and after the whole line collected troops and retreated to the cottage, the fear of Liangshan in the hearts of Pengju and Chen Zhu disappeared in an instant.

Then I only heard that Chen Zhu laughed and said, "What kind of ability can I still be these Liangshan bandits, but it turns out that it is just a small thief, and when I heard that my army was coming, I was frightened, and I didn't even want a stronghold under the mountain, which is really ridiculous." Brother Duan, it seems that this expedition, we were able to collect our troops and return to Beijing earlier. ”

After hearing Chen Zhu's words, that section of Pengju also laughed and said, "Haha, what Brother Chen said is very true, okay, since there are no Liangshan thieves here, then we will return to the bottom of the mountain first and set up camp to welcome the arrival of the marshal's army." ”

Chen Zhu was deeply concerned after hearing this, and then the two led the generals out of Liangshan together, set up camp outside the mountain, and welcomed the main force of the army in the evening of the same day, and Tong Guan and many other generals were in prison.
