Chapter 523: General Gao's Words

In Zengtou City, Shi Wengong killed Chao Gai with an arrow, and since then he has formed a mortal enemy with Liangshan, for this reason, his wife and children all died tragically at the hands of Liangshan, and only one concubine picked up a life because he returned to his mother's house. and Liangshan's hatred is almost irresolvable. At that time, I felt that although Liangshan was a grass coward, he was quite a bit of a man's blood, and he would never hurt his family's life, who would have thought that Li Kui would lead people to break through Laiwu County and cut off the heads of all the family.

For many years, Shi Wengong stayed in Qizhou Mansion to fight hard, just so that he could one day avenge his family. It's a pity that the imperial court's previous encirclements and suppressions have ended in nothing, and he has no place to do it, but Liangshan has attacked from time to time and played a great might. Now, finally the imperial court really wants to send troops to encircle and suppress Liangshan, thinking that they can have the opportunity to go out with the army, but Yang Jianjun actually said that the official family will not let the troops be dispatched, and the national army will have to toss it by itself. This is really unreasonable, Shi Wengong's temper is not too good, he has been pressed by hatred for many years, and a wave of anger rises to the sky, his eyes are glaring, and his breathing is heavy, "How can this be?" Liangshan took the initiative to send troops, this is the best opportunity to destroy Liangshan, and he didn't send troops, how can this be reasonable, how can this be reasonable"

Shi Wengong was already burly, but now he stared, his long beard fluttered, and he exuded a strong fierce aura. Yang Lian also has kung fu, but he was still startled by Shi Wengong, he got up, Teng Teng stepped back, and in a panic, knocked down the porcelain bottle on the table. The prefect Zhang Chengyuan was even more unbearable, he had never seen such a majestic person as Shi Wengong in his life, and his face was as frightened as earth in an instant. Legs tremble.

Yang Lian is the prison army in the end. Distance yourself a little. Endured fear, slapped the table, stared at Shi Wengong and screamed, "Okay, you Shi Wengong, you dare to roar in front of the court, what do you want, but you want to rebel?" ”

The word rebellion, how strict zhòng. It can well be imagined. Shi Wengong is the most loyal in his life, as soon as he heard Yang Lian's reprimand, thinking about what he had just done, cold sweat seeped out. He took two steps back, arched his hand towards Yang Lian and Zhang Chengyuan, and hurriedly said, "The villain is a rough man, and he has collided with the prison army and the prefect, and he also looks at the two Haihan." ”

Shi Wengong softened, and Yang Lian, who was not lightly frightened, came to his senses. He grimaced and sneered. "What did you just say, how can this be true? According to a certain family, you are unreasonable, today's official family personally decrees, you dare to be suspicious, you are really disloyal, unfilial, unkind and unjust, and dare to threaten the officials, the crime will be increased by one degree, come on, put this Shi Wengong in prison, let him sober up. ”

As soon as the voice fell, four guards immediately ran in from outside, and they dragged Shi Wengong away, Shi Wengong was afraid of rebellion, and did not dare to resist, so he could only shout loudly, "Yang Jianjun, you can't treat villains like this, villains are bent on conquest of thieves, Yu Da Song is loyal, you can't treat small people like this." ”

"Pull it down, dare to talk nonsense again, be careful of a certain family to serve the big punishment!" At this time, Yang Lian was majestic, and she didn't remember that she had just been frightened and retreated.

In the end, Shi Wengong was still escorted out, and he couldn't hear Shi Wengong's voice, Yang Lian sat in the chair and wiped the cold sweat on her forehead, His Royal Highness is too tricky, Shi Wengong is so brave, and he didn't inform him in advance, if his life was wrong in Shi Wengong's hands today, wouldn't it be wronged? Yang Lian has some opinions about Zhao Yougong, but he doesn't dare to say anything, he knows very well in his heart that he is a dog in Zhao Yougong's eyes, and he is not even a caring subordinate.

Shi Wengong was thrown into prison for two days in a row, and there was no one to visit. Shi Wengong was really anxious, and at the same time angry, he didn't understand what was going on, was it wrong for him to suppress bandits for the court?

It wasn't until the third day that someone came to visit Shi Wengong in the prison, this person was none other than the tall general who sympathized with Shi Wengong, Gao Pet carried a jar of wine and put it in the cell, but Shi Wengong didn't have the heart to drink at all, he sighed, sat down in front of the prison door, and asked in a low voice, "How is it outside?" ”

"A few days ago, Song Jiang personally led the thieves to besiege the middle capital, and Lu Junyi also led more than 10,000 people to the east of Yanggu County. It was less than noon today, and His Royal Highness had already left Qizhou Mansion and went to Yanggu County. ”

Gao Pet shook his head and looked embarrassed, as if he was sorry for Shi Wengong. Listening to Gao Chong's words, Shi Wengong's heart was like a cat scratching, Song Jiang personally led the troops to attack Zhongdu, what a good opportunity is this? Shi Wengong immediately sat up straight and arched his hand towards Gao Chong, "Senior brother, can you save the younger brother from prison, the younger brother has a deep blood feud with that Liangshan, if you don't kill the majesty of the Song Jiang dog thief, the younger brother will be unwilling in this life."

"Hey, brother, let's be honest with you, I'm going to get you out for my brother, it's a matter of one sentence. You have a blood feud with that Liangshan, and you know it as a brother, but have you thought about it, what can you do if you are released from the cell? The imperial court strictly ordered all troops and horses not to move without permission, if you violate the imperial decree, this life will be ruined! ”

"This" Shi Wengong was really stunned, his face was also sad, he wanted revenge, but he didn't want to disobey the imperial decree. His family has a history, and his family has taught him to be loyal, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness since he was a child, which violates the imperial decree, can he still be regarded as a loyal minister?

Shi Wengong didn't speak, and Gao Zhong was not in a hurry, he could feel it, in fact, Shi Wengong had begun to hesitate in his heart now, but the concept formed since childhood was not so easy to twist.

"Brother, don't blame my brother for not helping you, there are two ways in front of you now, or, let you out of the prison and kill Liangshan single-handedly, but in that way, it violates the imperial decree, the military law is ruthless, you will not be able to be a general in the court in the future, the best result is to occupy a mountain and become a thief like Song Jiang. Or, if you join our Dingguo army, and your Highness will protect you, no one will dare to do anything to you for a big matter. ”

Gao Chong's expression was calm, and his speech was unhurried, although he said two paths, there was actually only one path for Shi Wengong to choose. Shi Wengong is outstanding in martial arts, excellent in archery, and has learned this ability, which is to fight on the battlefield and glorify his ancestors, because he is looking for revenge, he will run elsewhere to be a grass coward, can he be willing? Therefore, now Shi Wengong either honestly stays in prison and suffers from his conscience, or he goes out of prison to join the Dingguo Army.

Shi Wengong hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't make up his mind. He looked up. Tremble voice. "Senior brother, it would be good if he could follow His Royal Highness, but the younger brother heard that His Royal Highness the King of Qin is interested in imperial power, and he is in the same position as the official family, and the younger brother wants to follow His Royal Highness, wouldn't it be done?"

Without waiting for Shi Wengong to finish speaking, Gao Chong's eyes rose angrily. He grabbed the cell door with one hand, his eyes full of mockery, "Hmph, what? Tell me, hehe, unfaithful and unrighteous people, right? I'm sorry, today's officials are dumb and incompetent, what is there to be loyal to? Besides, His Royal Highness is the son of King Chu and the descendant of Zhezong. This throne should have belonged to His Royal Highness. It's just that Zhao Ji used that despicable means to seize the throne and kill His Royal Highness. Now, His Royal Highness is sitting in Guanzhong, holding a strong army, and it is just a matter of taking back what he has lost. Hmph, when Zhao Ji forged the edict of the first emperor and ascended to the throne, was he loyal, righteous, benevolent and filial? These are not mentioned for the time being, what are we waiting for the study of literature and martial arts, for what, is to expand the territory and serve the Great Song Dynasty. His Royal Highness and Zhao Ji are both royal men, and we are elected to be assisted by capable people, how can we be the dim and pedantic people with no eyes? Gao wants to ask you, who is wiser between His Royal Highness and the official family? ”

Gao Zhong's words shocked Shi Wengong's mind to buzz. Your Highness needs to think more about this compared to the official family? Thinking that His Royal Highness is twenty years old, it is convenient for the city of Wuzhou to fight the Liao people, and destroy more than 100,000 elites in Xijing, the Liao people who fought in the first war lost the sharpest teeth in the west, and the entire northwest land no longer has to worry about the Liao people. Later, he took Yinzhou City by surprise and firmly occupied the initiative, and since then he has inserted a knife in the throat of the Tangut people. In terms of martial arts and military exploits, His Royal Highness the King of Qin is comparable to Li Jing of the Tang Dynasty, fortunately, he is not only a martial artist, but also recruits talents in Chang'an City, but all capable people have a place to use, so Yunwen Yunwu, broad-minded people, it is difficult not to admire. And what about the official family? Just look at the civil turmoil in the Great Song Dynasty, you can know that the Huashigang known to the official family had civil unrest, but there was no good strategy, and a small Liangshan could not be extinguished after holding it for so long.

Shi Wengong is respectful to Zhao Yougong, but thinking about the teachings of his ancestors, he is a little bitter. Suddenly, he thought of Gao Chong's words, His Royal Highness and the official family are both nobles, wouldn't it be better to choose a capable person to assist, if what Gao Chong said is true, it was the official family who robbed His Royal Highness the old King of Chu from the throne, that is, he was loyal to the King of Qin, and it was not disloyal or filial.

After figuring it out, Shi Wengong suddenly felt relaxed, he got up and arched his hand towards Gao Zhong outside the door, "Senior brother, fortunately I listened to you today, otherwise the younger brother will be deaf for the rest of his life." ”

Shi Wengong's bow made Gao Zhong greatly relieved, damn, he Gao has never done anything in his life to persuade him to negotiate surrender, just now he racked his brains, searched his intestines and scraped his stomach, and said all the words, if he didn't use it again, he could only stab Shi Wengong on the head. A fierce general like Shi Wengong can't follow His Royal Highness, so he can only kill him, should he leave him to Zhao Ji?

Gao Pet laughed, rolled up his sleeves, kicked the cell door with his big feet, and with a choking sound, the cell door lay on the ground complaining. Shi Wengong was dumbfounded, this Gao Pet is really fucking bold, this is the Qizhou Mansion Prison, and the guards outside are all government soldiers, isn't Gao Pet afraid of being offended? To Shi Wengong's surprise, no one dared to come in from beginning to end, and when this high pet led Shi Wengong out, several jailers and dozens of guards in the prison all arched their hands and said hello, with an expression like seeing their own father.

Now in Qizhou Mansion, who doesn't know the fierceness of Gao Pet, there is a good saying, Rather provoke the King of Yama, don't provoke the Gao Pet, the tall general except His Royal Highness the King of Qin, no one cares about it, it is Zhao Guan's family, he scolds when he scolds, and others go to provoke him, isn't that plucking the feathers on the tiger's mouth and living impatiently?

On the sixth day of the fourth month of the fourth year of Xuanhe, the Liangshan army coerced Zhongdu County, an important town in the eastern part of Yunzhou, but since the end of March, Niu Gao, who was stationed in Dongping Mansion, was transferred to Zhongdu, and Yang Zaixing was transferred to Yanzhou. After Lin Chong entered the central capital, he first strengthened the city defenses, and was mostly defended by the city, no matter how the Liangshan thieves scolded, they just didn't go out of the city. Whether it is said that Lin Chong is cowardly, or whether the defense is stable, in short, Lin Chong's move makes Wu Yong unbearable. The city wall of Zhongdu County is as high as four zhang, although it is not too thick, but it is really impossible to rely on the people of Liangshan to attack. Wu Yong knows the situation in Liangshan very well, most of the minions on the mountain are not regular troops, and they rely on ruthlessness and sharpness to fight, these people are not bad at facing the enemy head-on with the official army in the field, but it is difficult to attack the city, and the siege equipment is very short, which is also the reason why Wu Yong does not want to attack Zhongdu County.

Wu Yong didn't want to attack Zhongdu, so did Song Jiang, he led the troops to the battle, just to show his attitude and let everyone see his Song Jiang's righteousness, of course, taking the opportunity to get rid of Lu Junyi is also a goal. If you really attack Zhongdu County, you won't be defeated by that time, but you will fold yourself here.

Lin Chong, a fierce general in Guanzhong, is quite strategic in using troops, and there are more than 5,000 soldiers stationed in Zhongdu County, how easy is it to defeat Lin Chong? (To be continued......)
