Unexpected money is a windfall. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The 100 yuan earned in a day of hard work is not as happy as picking up 10 yuan on the road.

Chao Chong only spent an extra 500 yuan, but he gained the hearts of the people. It also shows Liangshan's strong financial resources.

After the celebration, the army repaired for a day, and tomorrow they could set off to rush back to the main village of Liangshanbo.

After nightfall, it was pitch black.

Lamp oil is expensive, and most people are reluctant to light it unless it is necessary.

But in Chao Chong's handsome tent, the lights are bright. Chao Chong sat in the center, and He Changyan rushed from the main village of Liangshan to sit on one side.

"The last big victory, Mr. brilliant writing, easy to understand, propaganda in place, military merits will be issued according to merit. This big victory still needs a little more effort from Mr. ”

Chao Chong said to He Changyan with a smile. When it wasn't a military meeting, Chao Chong's attitude was generally mild, especially when facing literati, and his tone was more honorific.

Because martial artists are generally more direct, they like to talk quickly. And the literati need dignity and face even more, even if this dignity and face are just a fig leaf, the literati will hold it tightly in their hands and are reluctant to abandon it.

"The subordinates must do the things that are within their bounds."

He Changyan has been very obedient since he returned to Shun in Dengzhou, and Mingzhe's self-preservation is one thing, and his faint fear of Chao Chong is also another. Since Chao Chong sent someone to take his family from his hometown, He Changyan understood that he had no way out.

He Changyan, who has been in officialdom for a long time, understands that if the superior wants to seize your handle, it is either to kill you, or to reuse you!

And he clearly belongs to the latter.

He Changyan also clearly felt that Chao Chong had asked him to participate in the core events more and more times.

"General, He Tao brought!" Zhou Tongyu, who was on duty outside the door, reported.

"Let them in!"

Shi Qian escorted He Tao into the tent, first gave a military salute to Chao Chong, and then nodded at He Changyan.

As soon as He Tao came in, he blinked his eyes first, adjusted to the light, and saw that it was Chao Chong on the main seat, and immediately knelt on the ground.

"The king spares his life, the little one is just a deputy envoy, he can't do anything, and everything has nothing to do with me!"

"Do you know what I'm going to say?"

Chao Chong and He Changyan glanced at each other, looking calm.

"Naturally, we are guilty of offending the great king Huwei beyond our means."

He Tao was apprehensive in his heart, lowered his head, and tried his best to show humility.

Chao Chong got up from his seat, walked over to help He Tao up, removed the rope binding on him, and said, "Actually, I have no ill will towards you, on the contrary, I am more optimistic about you than Liu Guang." ”

"Me? How can the little He De be able to enter the eyes of the king, if there is a drive, but please command! ”

He Tao saw Chao Chong's appearance as a corporal of Lixian, and he didn't know what he meant, but he was relieved in his heart, knowing that he would at least not die.

"Although the regimental training camp in Jeju Prefecture is my opponent in Yangsan, I still have to say a fair word, the person who is suitable for this position is none other than you!"

Chao Chong sat back on his throne and said with a chuckle.

"Regimental training envoy? King Xie was promoted, but unfortunately the new prefect Jiang Tianyue was not so discerning as the king! ”

He Tao was shocked, this Liangshan was too wide, how could the government do things according to his wishes, but he still pretended to be flattered, and there was a faint expectation in his heart.

"The person who recommended General He to me is the one next to me, I believe you must know it."

Chao Chong motioned for He Changyan to play.

He Changyan stretched out his sleeves, stood up, and said loudly: "General He, do you still recognize this official?" ”

"Ahh It's Ho Lady! You're not ......."

He Tao lowered his head since he came in, not daring to show the slightest disrespect, only to find out that Chao Chong's side was He Changyan, the former prefect of Jeju and sent by Cai Jing to Salmon Island. A faint trace of the gold seal could be seen on his face.

"Traitors are in charge, and there is no way to repay the country, only twists and turns. After Huang An, he was supposed to be filled by General He, but he didn't want to just become a deputy envoy, and he must have understood the pain of being blocked by traitors and having no way to serve the country! ”

He Changyan put on an official posture in front of this old subordinate, took square steps, paced over, and sighed.

He Tao has been a messenger under He Changyan for three years, how can he not know that this old boss's temper seems to be gentle, but in fact he is ruthless, if he hadn't been assassinated by Cai Jing with Salmon Island first, he would have been assassinated with the frontier!

He Tao was really a little scared in front of He Changyan, because he was too familiar with him.

"What the adults say is that the little ones suffer from it. And the new prefect Jiang Tianyue is also a man of his word, when I was asked to invite Liu Guang out of the mountain, he said that it was a success, so he appointed me as the main envoy and Liu Guang as the deputy. As a result, seeing Liu Guang's strong martial arts and coveting Liu Guang's daughter's beauty, he actually left me aside. ”

"By the way, the king, the little one has a secret report. When Liu Guang was captured, he was arrested along with his daughter, and it was not his son Liu Qi who followed the king as a personal soldier, but his daughter Liu Huiniang......"

"I've known this for a long time."

Chao Chong interrupted He Tao and motioned to He Changyan to continue.

He Changyan said: "The old thief Cai Jing sent me to Salmon Island, but fortunately, my general rescued me and didn't die in that living hell." Moreover, there are a large number of generals, who never care about my past, and also entrust me with important tasks to bring my family to Liangshan to enjoy happiness. I am inexplicably grateful, and I can only repay it faithfully. ”

He Tao lowered his head and pretended to be respectful, but he didn't think so, you were held hostage by Liangshan, it's my business.

He Changyan continued: "You have a younger brother named He Qing, and there is still an old mother at home, and your wife Gao gave birth to a son and a daughter for you, am I not wrong?" ”

He Tao's back was cold, and cold sweat instantly appeared on his sideburns, and he said respectfully: "My lord is aware of everything." ”

"It just so happens that your younger brother He Qing is a guest here, you brothers might as well meet each other!"

He Changyan clapped his hands three times, Li Kui grabbed a person with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks and threw it in, the person first kowtowed like pounding garlic, begging for mercy, and saw that He Tao was also there, so he hurriedly got up and said, "Big brother, little brother finally saw you." ”

"Er, why are you here?"

The sharp-beaked monkey was He Qing, who was knocked unconscious and arrested three days ago when he was gambling with someone, and when he woke up, he found that he had arrived in Liangshan, and he was accompanied by his old mother. Two days later, someone was sent again, and it turned out to be his sister-in-law, nephew, and niece.

After He Qing saw He Tao, he told him about the past three days, and He Tao's face turned pale. He fell into the same predicament as He Changyan.

He Tao pulled his younger brother to kneel down together, kowtowed, and said: "The king has something to command, the small one goes up the knife mountain and the oil pot, and never frowns." ”

He Changyan pulled He Tao and He Qing up and said, "Our general is a good person and never likes to be difficult by strong people. What you have to do is very simple, that is, return to Jeju City, and I, Yangsan, will help you become the head of the regimental training camp. ”

"Is this true?"

He Tao was stunned by the things in front of him, and he really couldn't believe that Liang Shan had spent so much effort just to help him get promoted and make a fortune?

Does anyone believe this? Of course, I definitely won't say it myself.

"I, Liangshan, have never lied to me, General He must believe in our ability."

He Changyan is confident.

"Good! As long as the king of Liangshan helps me ascend the throne, I will be a cow and a horse to repay the great favor. ”

"It's just that my mother, wife and children, can I bring them back together?"

"Hahaha, enjoying family is the way of being a person, but your old mother is seriously ill, and there is a divine doctor An Daoquan on my mountain, who is treating her old man. Your wife and children can enjoy peace of mind on the mountain, so why not? You can do things with peace of mind! ”

He Changyan smiled happily, like a villain who had succeeded in his treacherous scheme.

He Tao scolded in his heart, but he couldn't refuse, so he had to nod and say yes.

Seeing this, He Qing hurriedly said, "My lord, what about me?" ”

"You? There is an important position on Liangshan, and I can't say that I want to reuse you, please don't shirk it. ”

He Changyan had already heard of He Tao, the younger brother of the gambler, and said in a somewhat contemptuous tone.

"Important? Pls is ......"

He Changyan waved his official authority and glared angrily: "Go down!" Pick and choose what kind of system! "I secretly said in my heart: I will arrange a position for you to guard the cemetery, it is good if you are not detained, and you dare to ask nonsense? I really don't know what to do.

He Qing was too frightened to speak.

He Tao also had a bright heart. The purpose of detaining the old mother, wife and children is to force themselves to comply. And the reason for detaining He Qing is because he is a gangster, his mouth is the most unreliable, this kind of secret is known to him, how can he still let him go down the mountain, if he doesn't die, he should burn high incense.

Later, because of the confidentiality, He Qing was escorted. Chao Chong arranged the future plan and also staked He Tao down.

After He Tao left, He Changyan said: "He Tao and Liu Guang are both in our hands, why did you choose to control He Tao and give up Liu Guang?" ”

Chao Chong smiled: "Although Liu Guang is incompetent, he still has a bit of martial arrogance; And He Tao is not only incompetent, but also even more shameless. ”

According to the plan, in the middle of the night, He Tao escaped from the prisoner camp, and nearly 100 officers and soldiers were taken prisoner. Naturally, there were also personnel from the Intelligence Division.

He Tao fled in a hurry with more than a hundred captives, and the Liangshan people chased after him unhurriedly.

The governor of Jeju, Jiang Tianyue, had already learned of the defeat of the official army two days ago.

When Liu Qi, Liu Lin, and the few soldiers who fled back told him the bad news, Jiang Tianyue was furious and fainted to the ground.

Soon, another soldier came to report, and He Tao, the deputy envoy of the regimental training battalion, fled back with a hundred remnants, and the Liangshan soldiers chased after him.

No matter how stupid Jiang Tianyue was, he knew that this was not the time to be held responsible, but thinking about how to use the strength of less than 1,000 people in the city to protect the city from being attacked by the Liangshan bandits.

So Jiang Tianyue personally came forward and gave him some condolences to He Tao and asked him what strategy he had to break the enemy?

He Tao is an old fritter who has been in the government for many years, first cried and complained, telling about his friendship with the prefect, and then put all the blame for the war on Liu Guang's father and son, accusing them of fear and cowardice, unfavorable command, and finally took the lead in escaping, resulting in the defeat of 3,000 officers and troops.

The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment. It is precisely because Jiang Tianyue has too much hope for Liu Guang that he hates Liu Guang's failure even more.

In the past two days, he has refused to meet Liu Qi and Liu Lin many times, which is this kind of psychology. In the past, it was necessary to rely on Liu Qi and Liu Lin to stabilize the regimental training camp, but now that He Tao is back, he naturally does not need these two people.

He Tao naturally took the opportunity to put forward a strategy to hold on to the city and attack at night. Jiang Tianyue, who was owned by the six gods, agreed.

The men and horses of Yangsan slaughtered violently under the city of Jeju, showing off their might, organizing hundreds of archers to shoot indiscriminately, and frightened the people, soldiers, and officials in the city.

He Tao asked Jiang Tianyue to go to the city to boost morale, but Jiang Tianyue also refused, and handed over the command to He Tao.

He Tao followed the agreement with Liangshan, the two sides shouted loudly, and the drums shook the sky, but there was no fighting.

After nightfall, He Tao led the army out of the city to attack at night.

At this time, the people of Liangshan had already retreated. He Tao occupied an empty camp. Sing a triumphant song and return to the city to report the victory.

Jiang Tianyue attached great importance to He Tao and officially appointed him as the regimental training envoy of the regimental training battalion. Liu Qi and Liu Lin were removed from their posts and went home to reflect.

He Tao finally got the position he dreamed of, and his heart was happy. A person came out of the shadows, it was Shi Qian, and sneered: "Congratulations to General He for getting what he wanted." But don't forget the orders of my general! ”

He Tao hurriedly bowed his head and said respectfully: "Don't dare, don't dare, without Liangshan, there would be no me today, and I will naturally not forget the king's arrangement." ”

After Shi Qian knocked He Tao a bit, he once again disappeared into the darkness.

He Tao's back was full of cold sweat, these people in Liangshan are too elusive, and if they are not careful, they will be in a different place, so it is better to be cautious in words and deeds.

Five days later, Chao Chong released Liu Guang as promised, along with more than 100 prisoners.

October 10 is the harvest festival in the people, which is the day when the people celebrate the harvest after the autumn. Many people are pushing small trucks to come to the city to cook grain, and by the way to buy something back, people come and go, very lively.

A team of more than 100 people appeared outside the west of Jeju City, these people were ragged, but they were all armed with knives and guns.

The soldiers in charge of guarding outside the west city immediately rang the gong, and the defenders of the city gate closed the city gate, causing a panic and angry curse among the people entering and leaving the city gate.

Liu Guang looked at the defenders at the head of the city with an embarrassed expression, and shouted: "You are blind, don't you recognize me Liu Guang?" Open the gates! ”

The officers guarding the city gate naturally recognized Liu Guang, and it was because of this recognition that they did not let him enter the city.

Everyone knows that Liu Guang was captured by Liangshan, and it has only been five days, why did he come back? It can't be some conspiracy, right?

The city gate official did not dare to make decisions on his own, and reported the matter to He Tao, the regimental training envoy in charge of the city's defense.

Since He Tao repelled the army besieging the state city in Liangshan, he was cited as a confidant by the Jiang prefect, and not only made him serve as a regimental training envoy, but also served as a defensive envoy for the defense of the city.

When He Tao heard the report that Liu Guang had returned with a hundred remnants of soldiers, his heart moved, and Liangshan's siege plan was finally about to be implemented.

And He Tao's task is very simple, that is, to take advantage of his position to let Liu Guang into the city.

He Tao pretended to arrive at the West City Gate, first mocked Liu Guang, laughed at him, and then ordered someone to report to the Jiang Governor's Mansion on the one hand, and ordered someone to open the city gate and let Liu Guang enter the city.

The city gate opened, Liu Guang entered the city gate with a hundred remnants, and secretly encouraged in his heart, he must work hard, accumulate strength, and fight with Liangshan again in the future to avenge his hatred!

But that's when the accident happened.

Among the 100 remnants of the soldiers who followed Liu Guang, more than 50 people suddenly swung their knives and slashed at the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate, seizing the right to guard the city gate.

Seeing this, He Tao shouted above: "Liu Guang has rebelled, catch him, catch him!" ”

He Tao asked the city wall guards to arrest Liu Guang, but did not seize the city gate.

Liu Guang faced the mutation, and only then did he understand why Liang Shang was so kind to let him go back to the city, and also released a hundred prisoners, it turned out to be to hide the elite soldiers of Liangshan!

It's also to blame Liu Guang for his lack of understanding of the low-level soldiers, and he can't identify them clearly, so he fell for Liangshan's trick!

Just when Liu Guang wanted to help the official army kill the elite soldiers of Liangshan, recapture the city gate, and prove his innocence, He Tao had already led the official army at the head of the city to attack Liu Guang, and after some fighting, he was captured.

Then, He Tao pretended to be invincible, withdrew all the way to the city with the official army, and let the west gate out in vain.

Chao Chong, who was hiding in the distance, saw the signal to seize the city and ordered the soldiers to assault, Lin Chong and Yang Zhi led the cavalry to the fastest speed and rushed to the city gate to support, completely controlling the west city gate.

When Chao Chong led the army into the city, Jeju City fell completely.

According to the plan, He Tao gathered hundreds of officers and soldiers and deployed defenses around Jiang Tianyue's mansion. The government was completely isolated from the outside world.

He Tao took Liu Guang into the palace and reported in a panic: "My lord, it's not good, the Liangshan thieves have come in!" ”

Jiang Tianyue had just received a report that Liu Guang had returned with some remnants, and Jiang Tianyue, who was angry, was pondering how to punish Liu Guang. But I heard He Tao bring people in and shout, waved his official authority, and snorted: "Why are you so flustered!" Don't you hear Tarzan collapse in front of you and change the color of your face? ”

He Tao hurriedly knelt down and said, "My lord, the Liangshan military horse has entered the city!" ”

"What? You, you, say it again? ”

Jiang Tianyue no longer disregarded his personal majesty, his legs were weak, and he sat down on the chair.

"The Liangshan military horses just used Liu Guang to deceive the city gate, swarmed in, and swore to resist, but they couldn't resist it, so they had to shrink their forces and protect the government. Please, my lord! ”

Jiang Tianyue heard the outside again, and sure enough, the sound of the fight shook the sky, regardless of etiquette, he went up to help He Tao, grabbed his sleeve, and said, "General He, is it too late to escape?" ”

He Tao stood up, shook his head and sighed: "The thieves have already surrounded the government office too quickly, and we can only rely on the walls of the government to defend to the death!" ”

"General He, Brother He, you, you have to protect this officer! If you can repel the thieves, Ben, this official will definitely report your merits to the court. ”

"It is the duty of this general to protect the lord, it is incumbent on him to rush forward, if the thief wants to enter the mansion one step, he must step over my He Tao's corpse!"

He Tao said impassionedly and fiercely.

"Good! Sure enough, the wind knows the strength of the grass, and the board knows the loyal ministers! The safety of this official depends on Brother He. ”

"My lord, what should Liu Guang do about it?"

"This bastard actually led Liangshan into the city, it's better to kill him."

He Tao didn't dare to do this, because he knew that Liu Guang's daughter Liu Huiniang was a personal soldier by Chao Chong's side, and if he became Chao Chong's concubine in the future, if he knew that his father was killed by himself, he would have to lose his head if he blew some pillow wind in the future.

He Tao persuaded: "My lord, I am afraid that this Liu Guang has also been used, but he may not really take refuge in Liangshan." Moreover, his two sons are still in the city and have a certain amount of power, so if they are forced to rebel again, it will not be good! ”

"Brother He is really kind-hearted, and he even pleaded for Liu Guang, which is really rare. Well, I'll hold him for now. ”

He Tao took the order and left, dressed neatly, holding knives and guns, rushed out of the mansion, and shouted loudly.

The Liangshan soldiers in charge of besieging the government also shouted with him, but they didn't really fight.

According to the topographic map provided by He Changyan and He Tao, Chao Chong first broke through the granary, the money village and the armor storehouse, and seized the time, and in another day, transported 100,000 stone grain, 200,000 pieces of money, more than 5,000 knives and guns, 3,000 sets of iron armor, 300 hard crossbows, 1,000 strong bows, and more than 100,000 feather arrows.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for breaking through the first state city, the power map is opened, and the system mall is opened. Ask the host to decide if to move the administrative center here, yes or no? ”
