While Shi Wengong and others were training soldiers and horses on Naliang Mountain and studying how to brew new types of liquor, in the imperial palace of Nakyo, Taishi Cai Jing cried to Emperor Huizong, who was furious when he heard that the bandits outside were so rampant that they robbed Taishi's birthday for two consecutive years.

Immediately, at the instigation of Taishi Cai Jing, Emperor Huizong issued a holy decree, that is, to order the officials of all state capitals to immediately send troops to conscript and suppress the bandits in their own territory to suppress their rampant arrogance.

As soon as this order came out, the whole world was instantly plunged into a war and strife, and I saw that all the states and counties below could see the battles between officers and soldiers and local bandits everywhere.

Although it was said that the officers and soldiers and the bandits were inseparable before, most of them were just talking, and those local officials really arrested only some small thieves, and most of them did not offend each other for those large and small forces that were entrenched on one side.

However, as soon as this order of the imperial court to suppress bandits came out, these officers and soldiers could no longer turn a blind eye to those strong people who occupied the mountains as kings, and had to tear their faces apart, and even sent troops to recruit and suppress them to seek high positions for themselves.

And under the call of this suppression order, there are also many talents who have been buried for a long time, among which the representative is the praised Four Heavenly Monarchs. These four people are Deng Zongbi, Xin Congzhong, Zhang Yinglei, and Tao Zhenting, who were all entrusted with important tasks because of their meritorious work in the local suppression of bandits, and can be said to be the biggest beneficiaries of this suppression order.

In Lingzhou, Liu Taishou naturally received this order to suppress bandits, and then he called two regimental training envoys in the city to discuss it.

"The two regimental training envoys, now the Holy Lord has issued an order to suppress bandits, asking each of our state capitals to send troops to recruit strongmen in the territory. Now in my Lingzhou territory, the others are good to say, there is only one place in Nayinmachuan, the terrain is steep, and the strong man's martial arts are high, I am afraid that it will be hard for the two regiments to practice. ”

Shan Tinggui and Wei Dingguo glanced at each other after hearing this, and then bowed their hands and said, "Lord Taishou, I also knew about the matter of drinking Ma Chuan, but as Lord Taishou said before, the terrain of Yin Ma Chuan is steep, and the strong men on the mountain have high martial arts, but they are not as good as those ordinary people in the past. ”

After hearing this, Mrs. Liu was greatly disappointed, and then sighed, "How is this good!" ”

Hearing this, Shan Tinggui said again, "Don't panic, although the two of us have no certainty of victory, but we know one person, this person is the righteous and brave Wu'an King, there is the courage of ten thousand people, and the two of us are not their opponents, if we can invite him to help, then the drinking Ma Chuan will be taken down in one fell swoop!" ”

Liu Taishou perked up when he heard this, and said, "Who is this person, and where is he now, please bother the two generals and me to invite them." ”

"His name is Guan Sheng, and he is currently the inspector of Pudong, so the two of us will invite him for Lord Taishou!"

"Okay, there are two generals!"

Immediately, Shan Tinggui and Wei Dingguo said goodbye to Liu Taishou and headed towards Pudong.

On top of the banquet, Shan Tinggui raised his glass and said, "Brother Guan Sheng, now that the Holy Lord has issued an order to suppress bandits, it is not a good opportunity for us and other martial artists to make meritorious contributions, the two of us have protected you in front of Lord Taishou today, and I also ask my brother to make meritorious contributions with the two of us and win fame!" ”

At this time, Wei Dingguo also said, "That's right, Brother Guan Sheng, it's rare that those civil officials at this time are so reused with us and other martial artists, if you miss this opportunity, I don't know when it will be waiting for, and we will be useful, and please ask my brother to agree to my request, and act with the two of us!" ”

After hearing this, Guan Sheng drank all the wine in the bowl, and then said, "Okay, since that's the case, then so-and-so promised the two brothers to follow you on this journey." However, Guan still has to advise the two brothers, don't be too optimistic about this matter, now because the court wants to suppress bandits, those civil officials have no choice but to reuse us. ”

"And once this matter is over, you and I don't know what will become of those civil officials, so no matter what we do, we must leave leeway, do you understand?"

After listening to what Guan Sheng said, Shan Tinggui and Wei Dingguo nodded thoughtfully, and then the three of them talked about the future again.

And when the three of them were drinking and feasting, Guan Sheng thought of the two brothers with the same name in his heart, "Brother Tang Bin, Brother Hao Siwen, I don't know how the two of you are doing now, and Brother Shi, have you ever been affected by this bandit order?" ”

Three days later, in front of the drinking Ma Chuan, a group of people appeared, and the leaders were the famous three heroes of the Yin Ma Chuan, the 'iron face' Pei Xuan, the 'fiery eye' Deng Fei, and the 'jade banner rod' Meng Kang.

"Brother, that person named Guan Sheng said that he was going to attack my Yinmachuan, and he also said that he was going to fight with us here, you said that their officers and soldiers had such courage to dare to take the initiative to declare war with us, not when they were so frightened by us that they lost their armor before!"

The one who spoke, it was the second master of this drinking Ma Chuan, Deng Fei, who was 'fierce' with fiery eyes, and saw that this person had red eyes, big shoulders and a round waist, and a circle of iron chains around his waist, and a meteor hammer at the head of the chain.

Even Pei Xuan, the master of drinking Ma Chuan, known as the 'iron face', was rescued by Deng Fei and Meng Kang down the mountain, and because he was older, he sat on the master of this cottage.

Subsequently, Pei Xuan said, "I heard that the emperor Lao'er recently issued a new order to suppress bandits, ordering these officials to send troops to eliminate the strongmen in their own territory, otherwise how could these officers and soldiers who are greedy for life and afraid of death come to die?" ”

"I see, no wonder the small forces around us have not moved recently, I think I'm afraid they were all eliminated by those dog officers and soldiers, right?" At this time, it was the three masters who had never spoken, the 'Jade Banner Pole' Meng Kang.

I saw that he grew up and was white, and everyone saw that he had a good body, and gave him a nickname, called 'Jade Banner Pole'.

When the three of them didn't talk much, they saw someone coming in the distance, and then the three of them cheered up and waited for the battle. After a short time, he saw a group of Lingzhou officials and soldiers led by Guan Sheng, Shan Tinggui, and Wei Dingguo.

As soon as they saw the long-bearded and beautiful bearded 'big knife' Guan Sheng, the three of Pei Xuan couldn't help but be intimidated by his kind of spirit.

Subsequently, Deng Fei, who was still the best in martial arts, took the lead in coming back to his senses, and looked up to the sky and laughed, "Haha, it seems that those dog officers and soldiers have really made up their minds this time, and they have invited you, the capital of the famous 'Pudong Three Heroes'!" ”

After hearing what Deng Fei said, the fear of Pei Xuan and Meng Kang was also eased, and then they each held their heads high and stood opposite those officers and soldiers.
