The so-called defense of Qizhou is actually also a dispatch officer, and there is no such position on the local official list of the imperial court, but it is only temporarily set up because of the need to suppress bandits, arrest Qizhou bandits, and at the same time prevent Yunzhou bandits from running into Qizhou to make trouble, etc., there are things, but Tong Guan did not give Li Yanqing a single soldier, not only that, but also took back the 1,000 Xuanwu battalion infantry and 2,000 troops reorganized from Qizhou before.

If you don't give Qizhou 2,000 special troops, Tong Guan can't be mobilized, that is, the 2,000 township soldiers borrowed by Li Yanqing from Xiangzhou, the transfer of troops is in the hands of Li Yanqing, and Tong Guan is the pacification envoy of Jingdong and Jingdong, but he has no right to ask the township soldiers in Xiangzhou.

This made Tong Guan feel quite uncomfortable, but he had no choice but to urge Li Yanqing to send the township soldiers back to Xiangzhou as soon as possible.

Li Yanqing did not let Wang Gui follow him in the end, although Wang Gui was very righteous, but Li Yanqing did not want to delay the future of his friend, and Liu Jian covered him and Niu Gao, which also reassured Li Yanqing, he only took two people to Qizhou, one was his staff member Mo Jun, and the other was Yang Guang, who had been following him.

On the way to Qizhou, Yang Guang kept following behind and muttered in a low voice, he was really incomprehensible, just because he refused to be loyal to Tong Guan, he was demoted from the main general of 6,000 people to the head of 2,000 township soldiers, this gap made him really unacceptable.

Mo Jun is very much in favor of Li Yanqing's choice, since Li Yanqing is recognized as a person who cultivates the Tao of the Master, and the Dao of the Seed Master is deposed, if he turns his allegiance to Tong Guan again, who will dare to use him in the future, this is not only an attitude, but also a kind of side, not necessarily a bad thing!

Mo Jun saw that Yang Guang had been muttering, so he couldn't help but knock on his head and scolded: "The official is retreating as advancing, do you understand?" He was deposed because of the crown prince, will the prince treat him badly when he ascends the throne in the future? I don't even understand this.,All day long, I'm staring at the little profit in front of me.。 ”

Yang Guang stuck out his tongue and didn't dare to say anything, Li Yanqing rode in front of him and said with a smile: "Mr. can see farther than me!" I just don't want to do things for Tong Guan, but I don't think about it that much! ”

Mo Jun said with a smile: "The official refuses to do things for him, in fact, it is a kind of standing in line." ”

Li Yanqing smiled and said nothing, seeing that the destruction of the Liangshan Army had reached the last moment, he was forced to give up, of course he was reluctant in his heart, but Tong Guan replaced the Seed Master Dao at this critical moment, and Li Yanqing also had to choose his fate at this critical moment.

This year is the second year of Xuanhe, and in another two years, Tong Guan will lead a large army to attack Liao, and finally suffered two defeats, losing the elite of the Song army.

If he is powerless to change this history, then he, Li Yanqing, must also avoid this fiasco, and must not become Tong Guan's funeral object.

At noon the next day, Li Yanqing arrived in Licheng County, and Zhao Mingcheng, the temporary governor of the county, heard of Li Yanqing's arrival and personally went out of the city to greet him.

The two exchanged a few words, and Zhao Mingcheng sighed: "Taiwei Tong refuses to use a virtuous brother, because he is ignorant, but it's okay, instead of suffering under his tent, it is better to take a step back and come to Qizhou to recuperate." ”

Li Yanqing smiled slightly: "Brother Mingcheng knows me too!" ”

At this time, two burly generals stepped forward to salute, "The last general will see the commander!" ”

Li Yanqing couldn't help but be stunned, these two people turned out to be Lu Fei and Wang Ping, why are they still here?

"Didn't you go to Yunzhou with the army?"

"Qiyu commanded the envoy, Zhang Tuanlian's father was seriously ill, he rushed back to Xiangzhou, so he entrusted the township soldiers to us, Tong Guantai transferred the army back to Yunzhou, we didn't want to go back, so we led the township soldiers to stay in Qizhou."

This result immediately made Li Yanqing overjoyed, with Lu Fei and Wang Ping leading the township soldiers, how many things did he save himself!

"Good! Good! That's the best result I've heard today. ”

Zhao Mingcheng smiled again: "Please enter the city!" We prepared a glass of water and wine for the virtuous brother to catch the wind! ”

Li Yanqing introduced Mo Jun to him, and everyone entered the county seat together.

．．．．．．

Seed Master Dao got the detailed information brought back by Li Yanqing before, and he peeled off the cocoon from these detailed information, and finally discovered the weakness of the Liangshan army, that is, the food problem, the granary in Sucheng County is not big, and it can only store 20,000 stone grain at most, if you want to store other armor, then 20,000 stone grain can't be stored.

If all the grain on the periphery of Sucheng County can be destroyed one by one in advance, then when the Liangshan army retreats northward in a big way, it will encounter a serious food crisis and will eventually be defeated without a fight.

At this time, there were 50,000 troops in Sucheng County, but the army was only 18,000 stones, which was only enough for the Liangshan army to support for a month.

When Song Jiang got the news that the grain and grass supplies were ambushed in Jishui, he already realized that there might be a shortage of food, but at this time he had no choice but to be forced to enter Xucheng County.

Twenty days have passed, and the contradiction of insufficient food has gradually been exposed, but the methods of planting teachers are vicious, and all the wheat fields within 20 miles of the city have been eradicated, so that the last hope of Song Jiang to go out of the city to grab wheat has also been dashed.

Song Jiang was helpless, so he had to cut the soldiers' daily food expenses, and for a while, the Liangshan soldiers complained.

In the afternoon of this day, Song Jiang suddenly received a pigeon letter from the capital, learning that the imperial court was changing generals in battle, removing the seed master Dao, and replacing Tong Guan with the main general, this news immediately made Song Jiang overjoyed.

Song Jiang was really frightened by the old spicy spicy that did not leak from the Dao of the Seed Master, and at this time he was replaced by Tong Guan, who had always been rigid and self-serving, Song Jiang suddenly breathed a long sigh of relief, and he saw a glimmer of hope in despair.

On the city wall, Song Jiang and Lu Junyi stared at the military camp that had expanded overnight, and it was obvious that the official army had increased its troops, which meant that Tong Guan was most likely in place.

"Song Gong, our food can only last for seven days, and we must break through in five days." Lu Junyi spoke very slowly, but every sentence hit Song Jiang's heart hard.

The so-called breakthrough is to return to Liangshan, this is the retreat that Song Jiang is most unwilling to accept, he finally cleared himself from the mountain bandits to a separatist force, and now he wants to let him retreat, he is extremely uncomfortable.

But Song Jiang also knew that they had no other way to retreat except to return to Liangshan.

Song Jiang sighed slightly, "I know, sooner rather than later, take advantage of Tong Guan's unstable foothold and kill him directly." ”

"It's best to strike at the east gate, feint to go through the east gate, and then kill through the west gate, I suggest acting tonight."

"Tonight!"

Song Jiang hesitated a little, "Isn't it too hasty?" ”

"As Song Gong said, the key to our success in breaking through is that the other party has a firm foothold, once Tong Guan gains a firm foothold, as long as he inherits the blockade strategy of the Seed Master, we will be defeated without a fight, so our chance is only this once."

Although the power struggle between Song Jiang and Lu Junyi was extremely fierce, the interests of the two were the same on the issue of breaking out.

Song Jiang pondered for a moment, and finally nodded, "Okay!" Now I will gather the generals to discuss the details of the breakout. ”

．．．．．．．．．

At night, the soldiers who had been busy outside the city for a day fell asleep one after another, there was silence around the camp, more than a thousand patrol soldiers vigilantly patrolled back and forth to prevent the Liangshan army in the city from attacking the camp, and the planting master road planted the camp fence outside the camp, although Tong Guan decisively replaced dozens of generals who were loyal to the cultivation of the master road, including Li Yanqing, but in terms of garrisoning, Tong Guan inherited the caution of the cultivation of the master.

Of course, this is also Tong Guan's own cautious style, instead of removing the camp fence, he increased the outer guard tower, and the new 30,000 troops were stationed, and he also built the camp fence and increased the patrol soldiers to prevent the Liangshan army from stealing the camp.

At the first watch, the east gate of Xucheng County suddenly opened, and Lin Chong and Dong Ping led 30,000 soldiers to suddenly kill from the east gate and kill the official army camp a mile away, and they were immediately discovered by the soldiers patrolling the periphery.

Dozens of rockets were shot into the sky, the sirens of the eastern battalion sounded loudly, and the officers and troops had a large battalion outside each of the four city gates, of which the southern, northern, and eastern three battalions each had 10,000 officers and troops stationed, while the western city was the key point of defense and the main camp, with 20,000 troops stationed.

The sound of shouting and killing outside the east city shook the sky, and Tong Guan had not yet fallen asleep at this time, he heard the shouting and killing, and hurriedly walked out of the big tent.

"Look, where is the fierce battle?"

Without waiting for the soldiers to inquire, a soldier hurriedly rushed to report: "Captain Qi, tens of thousands of enemy troops are attacking the eastern camp, and the eastern camp is tight, General Wang asked the lieutenant to send someone to support." ”

Tong Guan was secretly taken aback, there were tens of thousands of people attacking Dongying, Tong Guan did not realize that the Liangshan army was breaking through, he thought that the Liangshan army was taking advantage of his unstable foothold to steal the camp.

Although the letter left to him detailed the grain storage of the Liangshan army, Tong Guan did not realize that the food problem was the key to the whole campaign, let alone that the Liangshan army could no longer support it because of the lack of food.

He hurriedly ordered: "Order the northern and southern camps to rush to support." ”

The soldiers rushed to give the order, and after a while, Uncle Zhang heard the news and hurriedly came to dissuade him: "Tai Lieutenant, the troops of the north and south military camps cannot be transferred, this may be the sound of the Liangshan army, and they are about to break through." ”

Tong Guan has always been stubborn and self-serving, and he can't even persuade his henchmen to decide what he decides, let alone Uncle Zhang, Tong Guan smiled, "How can it be possible to use an army of 30,000 to cover the breakthrough?" Song Jiang will not do this kind of thing of buying and returning pearls, Zhang Sima is too worried, this must be Song Jiang who came to steal the camp while my foothold is not stable, and wants to give me a blow to the head, I want to see if his stick is hard or my head is hard. ”

"The commander once said that the Liangshan army was short of food and couldn't hold out for a month......"

Tong Guan's hatred at this time was to hear the three 'Seed Masters', he had cleaned so many kinds of teachers, and there was actually a fish in front of him who had slipped through the net.

Tong Guan said coldly: "The military order is like a mountain, if Zhang Sima feels that my military order can not be obeyed, then I can send Zhang Sima to Beijing to continue to follow the Dao of the Seed Master." ”

After speaking, Tong Guan turned around and left, no longer paying attention to Uncle Zhang, Uncle Zhang stomped his feet with hatred, and scolded in his heart, "The eunuch party is misleading the country!" ’

．．．．．．．

Inside the south city gate, Song Jiang was covered in armor and a sword in his hand, followed by dozens of Liangshan generals, and there were 20,000 elite troops behind him.

At the head of the city, a soldier shouted: "The enemy army has gone to the east city, and the north and south camps are empty." ”

Song Jiang was overjoyed and shouted: "Kaicheng breaks through!" ”

The drawbridge fell, the city gate opened, and 20,000 Liangshan troops rushed out of the south gate like a flood and killed the enemy's empty Nanda camp.
