The wind blows the water, and the layers of water ripples are raised, and they rush to the shore without hurry, blocked by the dry reeds, and disappear into invisibility.

In the early spring, everything comes back to life, and the bright green shoots thrive in the withered reed body.

The huge Liangshan Mountain is ethereal and vast, with a huge island in the middle and several mountain peaks towering on it. On the main peak of Liangshan, there is a wide wooden pavilion facing the cliff, and there are three big characters on it--- the golden pavilion.

The spring breeze is blowing, the black hair is flying, Chao Chong is standing by the Fenjin Pavilion, standing upright with his back hands, looking at the rising sun in the east, silently calculating in his heart.

The ambush battle in the forest has been over for three days, and the soldiers and horses of Liangshan have been repaired, and their morale is high, like a sharp sword that is eager to try and eager to get out of its sheath.

Military Heart is available.

Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, in addition to scouts and listening, the most direct way is to fight. In the first engagement, the opponent's strength was tested, and the forbidden army was well-equipped, but it was seriously undertrained and not resolute in its sense of combat. The generals have ordinary personal force, excellent ability to lead troops, and the troops are defeated but not chaotic.

Yun Tianbiao is a good whetstone.

So, what is the quality of the other forbidden army, Thunderbolt Fire Qin Ming? It seems that we still have to try again.

"General!" A respectful voice sounded behind him, "Huang Xin, the commander of the Panshi Battalion, came to report. ”

Chao Chong turned his head when he heard the sound, smiling, making people feel like a spring breeze. He waved and said: "Come, let's see the sunrise together, you are busy in the military camp every day, it's rare to be free, stay with me." ”

Huang Xin's tall body unconsciously relaxed, and he took two steps to Chao Chong's side, looking at the east together.

A red sun is rising.

Chao Chong stood upright with his hands behind his back and said, "I like the sunrise, the newborn things, always full of life." Just like our Liangshan, which has not been established for a long time, but it is closely united, changing with each passing day, compared with the decaying states and counties outside, we are like the rising sun, and they are like the setting sun. If my literary talent is a little higher, I will have to learn from those literati and ink writers, have a drink or two, and write a poem. ”

Huang Xin's eyebrows were originally faintly soothed, and he chuckled: "What the general said is that our Liangshan weather updates every day, and the brothers sweat and bleed together, this is the day that a man should live, and I am really ashamed to think of the time when I used to be in the state capital." ”

The sun rises in the east, dyed with red clouds. Looking at the prospect quietly, Chao Chong said, "Have you heard the story of two children distinguishing the sun? ”

"Naturally, when Confucius traveled east, he met two children debating, which is closer to us in the morning or noon? A toddler said that in the morning the sun looks big, so close. It looks small at noon, so far away. Another child said that the sun was cool in the morning, so it was far away. The sun is hot at noon, so it's close. Confucius couldn't tell right from wrong for a while. Huang Xin has read a lot of books, and he is naturally familiar with the allusions recorded in the book Liezi.

"Oh, who do you think is right?"

"It's hard to say, it's common sense to be near big and far small, near hot and far away." Huang Xin said helplessly: "With the ability of Confucius, I can't answer it, and I can't do anything." ”

Chao Chong smiled: "Yes, there are many such things in the world, far and near, it is difficult to distinguish. But it does not hinder the people of the world from working at sunrise and resting at sunset, plowing the fields and working endlessly. Because, big or small, the sun is there. Whether it's hot or cold, the sun is there. ”

Huang Xinxin's head moved, secretly pondering the meaning of these words.

Chao Chong continued: "In the ambush battle in the forest, the Rock Battalion performed very well, fighting bravely and resolutely, worthy of the name of the Rock. There is a big war ahead, are you confident? ”

"Boast! Handsome! Huang Xinchang stood upright, gave a military salute, and said, "I will live up to the general's trust!" ”

Chao Chong smiled slightly, patted Huang Xin's shoulder and said, "This is not a military camp, so there is no need to be polite." After Huang Xin relaxed, he continued: "The scout has come to report that the soldiers and horses of the forbidden army on the east road have arrived, and they are joining forces with the soldiers and horses on the west road, and they are camping. You should be familiar with the person who led the troops, it was Qin Ming, the commander of the soldiers and horses on the East Road. ”

Huang Xin tightened his heart, and hurriedly said: "I once served as the commander of the soldiers and horses in Qingzhou Mansion, and the head of Qin Ming is my boss and my mentor, and half of my skills are taught by my mentor. But please be clear, since I went up the mountain, I have never interacted with relatives and friends under the mountain. Huang Xin was anxious, because of his master-apprentice relationship with Qin Ming, there have been some rumors in Liangshan recently, which made him not be cautious.

"Of course I know." Chao Chong comforted Huang Xindao: "Recently, there have been some rumors on the mountain, I think you have heard about it, don't take it to heart, the clear person is self-purifying, I am confident in you!" ”

Huang Xin hurriedly clenched his fists and said: "General Xie trusts, but it is true that General Qin is my mentor, in order to avoid suspicion, please remove the general from my position as the commander of the Panshi Battalion." ”

"Not really." Chao Chong waved his hand and refused: "During the creation period of each army, its first commander's combat style is just like the soul of this army, and it is your Huang Xin's resolute and resolute combat style that gives the Rock Battalion a rock-solid military soul. There is no one to replace. Honestly lead me with troops, don't think nonsense. ”

Huang Xin's head warmed, the feeling of being trusted was so good, in order to repay the kindness of the encounter, after weighing it again and again in his heart, he hugged his fists and said: "Since I have been under the general's account, I have long drawn a line with the officials and soldiers under the mountain, and each is its master." It is a personal relationship with a teacher, and it is justice to fight with officials and soldiers. Huang Xin didn't dare to abolish the public for personal reasons, so he asked the general to let me be the pioneer of the Panshi Battalion and fight against the Eastern Road Forbidden Army! ”

"Not allowed!" Chao Chong refused without hesitation: "You travel east with me, nine people fight fiercely on the island, kill pirates, defeat the official army, and behead more than 100 levels." You follow me to attack Zhujiazhuang, kill the three heroes of the Zhu family, and raise your prestige. You follow me to break the Jeju official army, break through the Jeju capital, and behead more than 1,000. I keep your merits in my heart, and I don't have to prove myself in this way. ”

Huang Xinchao said: "General......"

Chao Chong waved his hand and said: "I have also heard of General Qin Ming, his people are jealous and hateful, and his sex is like fire, if he is in the rivers and lakes, he must also be a good man who stands up to the sky, but it is a pity that he is trapped in officialdom." This battle is the revenge of Cai Jing and Gao Yu against my Liangshan, and we and General Qin are each their own masters, and there is no personal grudge. We Liangshan heroes pay attention to affection, and there is no need to break off the friendship between you and his master and apprentice, so in this battle, I will not arrange for you to fight General Qin head-on, so as not to be embarrassed. ”

"General Xie is considerate." Huang Xin said gratefully.

"But don't think about it easy, Yun Tianbiao has a lot of pressure, are you confident?"

"Boast! Handsome! Huang Xinchang stood upright, gave a military salute, and said, "I will live up to the general's trust!" ”

Chao Chong smiled slightly and said, "It's good to have confidence." Regarding the rumors, I will ask the battalions to clean up and not take them to heart. ”

"Yes!"

"Lead the troops with peace of mind and be ready at all times. Go ahead! ”

Huang Xin finished the military salute and walked away briskly. Walking down the Fenjin Pavilion, I couldn't help but look back at Chao Chong who was standing in the wind.

The sun rises higher and higher, and shines brightly. Shining on Chao Chong's body, it was like crossing a layer of red gold. Huang Xin secretly clenched his fists, only by following such heroes and heroes can he display his talents to the fullest and break out of the world! Master, let's verify through this battle which of us chooses the right path.

At this time, on the shore of the water, a succession of military camps rose from the ground, and patrolling guards shuttled between them.

After being ambushed, Yun Tianbiao became more cautious, and it took three days to integrate the troops under his command, count the number of people, and now there are less than 3,000 left in the 5,000-strong army, and they are all like frightened birds, making Yun Tianbiao, who is full of ambition and high-spirited to go on the expedition, want to cry without tears.

Fortunately, his son Yunlong escaped from the mountains and forests with a few relatives, although he was embarrassed, but at least he was still alive, wasn't he?

This is the blessing of misfortune!

Yun Tianbiao led the army to move forward cautiously and slowly, and when he set up camp on the east bank of Liangshan Shuibo, before he could collect the ships, Qin Ming, the commander of the soldiers and horses on the east road, had already led an army of 10,000 to arrive day and night.

The newly arrived Qin Ming and his generals did not know how to be polite at all, and chose the flattest place and the most convenient place to get water to set up a large camp, and then collected the large and small ships collected by the Western Route Army.

"What kind of ship do you need for the defeated general?"

"Actually lost to the Liangshan bandits, did these soldiers and horses on the West Road grow up eating grass?"

"I see, it still depends on our Chief Qin, who doesn't know the name of Thunderbolt Fire, and who doesn't know."

"What? You say it was attacked? Hmph, I was beaten by a group of thieves and fled, what excuse do you have, if our elite East Road soldiers and horses are here, hum hum ......"

It is no secret that Bafang Yun Thunder Cloud Tianbiao and Thunderbolt Fire Qin Ming are not in harmony for a long time, although the two still have to maintain a certain harmony on the surface, but the soldiers below have no scruples, and the soldiers are one and the rest of the bears. Since Yun Tianbiao's soldiers and horses lost the battle, in the thinking of the soldiers, of course, it was because Yun Tianbiao, the general, was too cowardly.

Yun Tianbiao didn't pay attention to the rumors and rumors, and with his cultivation and bearing, he would not be angry because of this. But he still took the initiative to come to the camp of the Eastern Route Army to find Qin Ming's theory, but it was because of the seizure of the ship.

"Brother Xian, you and I are both here to suppress thieves for the country, why bother hurting the harmony for such a trivial matter!" Qin Ming was arrogant, touching his short hair like a steel needle, and pretended to be polite.

Yun Tianbiao secretly thought in his heart, I am older than you, this puppet is really going to be bigger!

Yun Tianbiao's face was impassive, and he said: "What Chief Qin said about jointly suppressing thieves, Yun deeply agrees. We have all been ordered by the imperial court to come here, and we should work together regardless of each other. Anything that undermines unity is for the relatives to be bitter and the enemies are happy, does Chief Qin think so? ”

"Well, this, naturally, is a drop!" Qin Ming was squeezed by Yun Tianbiao's words, so he could only respond.

"Chief Manager Qin really understands the righteousness!" Yun Tianbiao first put on a high hat for Qin Ming, and then continued: "There is a division of priorities, and the order is first and last. Liangshan is within the jurisdiction of our east and west roads, so naturally our western army should be the master, and the east road military horses should be guests; Our Western Route Army first set up camp and requisitioned ships first, which was on a first-come, first-served basis. In that case, why did Governor Qin ignore the distinction between priority and priority, regardless of the first to come, and to seize the ships that we had requisitioned? Isn't this a sabotage of unity and a joke for the Liangshan thieves? ”

Qin Ming was suppressed by the other party's words, the boss in his heart was unhappy, and secretly scolded in his heart, he was waiting for me here! If I had asked my men to return the ships, would I have been laughed at even more by my men? Hmph, no matter how sharp your words are, you are just a general of a defeated army, what qualifications do you have to be arrogant in front of this general! Now you only have 3,000 defeated troops, and I have 10,000 elites who are in full swing, this battlefield of bandits, naturally the general has the final say, what can you do with me?

Qin Ming thought so in his heart, but he couldn't say that, after all, he hadn't torn his face yet. So he acted as a reason: "Brother Xian, if you are not a foolish brother, you will not help you, but it is really my brothers who are eager to meet the battle, and they are eager to allocate ships to attack the bandits, so that two days later, our army's soldiers, horses and ships will be ready to attack the Liangshan bandits." If the virtuous brother wants to fight, I will let you be a pioneer! ”

"You!" Yun Tianbiao was speechless for a while. He came to ask for the warship for the morale of the army, and to snatch credit after breaking through Liangshan, but he was not a pioneer cannon fodder.

"Hmph, Brother Xian, you don't dare to fight this battle, how can I talk to my brothers? Do you think that my soldiers and horses on the East Road are all heavenly soldiers and generals, and they can fly over from the water? Qin Ming sank his face and pretended to be dissatisfied.

Yun Tianbiao saw that Qin Ming was dead or alive and did not let go, knowing that he could not do anything, he got up and left, and reminded before leaving: "Manager Qin, that Liangshan thief is scheming, you don't want to underestimate the enemy and fall for their tricks." ”

"Humph!" Qin Ming was really angry, and snorted coldly: "Don't bother, my East Road soldiers and horses are not those mindless fools." ”

"I hope so."

"Walk slowly, don't send." Qin Ming watched Yun Tianbiao walk out of the tent.

The deputy general beside Qin Ming took a sip and said, "Phew, the incompetent fool is also worthy of reminding the chief manager." What a dog's eye doesn't know a real hero! ”

"Hehe" Qin Ming touched his short hair like a steel needle, and said with a smile: "In a few days, we will exterminate the thieves, and it will not be too late to laugh at this guy again." ”

"The manager is broad-minded, and his subordinates can't do it just in case. What a model for me to emulate! The adjutant general exclaimed.

Wasted and lost, the most is the time to turn into foam.

Time always slips through my fingers inadvertently, and two days pass by in a hurry.

Liangshanbo, on the golden beach. The armies of Liangshan were neatly arrayed.

Chao Chong stood on the high platform, hunting in the wind behind him and waving the apricot yellow banner of "Walking for the Sky".

"Pick up the knife in your hand and ask it if you can fight again!"

"Kill!"

"Press your chest and ask it if you want to fight again!"

"Kill! Kill! ”

"Look up at this big flag and ask it if it dares to fight again!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

"What do we want?"

"Victory!"

"What army are we?"

"The Liangshan Righteous Army, for the heavens, conquer everything, and be invincible!"

......

The crowd was surging and agitated, and countless voices converged into a torrent.

Be well prepared, fight after battle.

Thousands of Liangshan soldiers and horses were ready to attack.
