The Daimyo Mansion is a capital in the north of the four capitals in the east, west, north and south of the Song Dynasty, and its status in the Song Dynasty is more than that of ordinary state capitals, so when the Liangshan army invaded the Daimyo Mansion fifty days ago, it finally caused the anger of the imperial court, and Zhao Ji immediately issued an order to transfer 30,000 frontier forbidden troops from Zhending Mansion to the Daimyo Mansion, under the full command of the government Yin Liang Zhongshu.

The Liangshan army has repeatedly defeated officers and soldiers in recent years, and the team has grown rapidly, from the initial thousands of people to 50,000 people, a small Liangshan can no longer accommodate them, and more importantly, the Liangshan army has repeatedly defeated several times its own officers and soldiers, especially after the defeat of the imperial lieutenant Gao Yu, Song Jiang found that the imperial army was rotten and vulnerable, and his ambition began to swell violently, and he felt that he could also be called a lonely widow.

Beginning last year, the Liangshan army took the lead in capturing Yunzhou and Jeju, and gained a firm foothold in Yunzhou and Jeju in half a year, and in the summer of this year, the Liangshan army began to move north and conquer Bozhou on the north bank of the Yellow River.

For the Liangshan Army, attacking the Daimyo Mansion was by no means a simple matter of avenging Lu Junyi, the political status of the Daimyo Mansion was very high, and the capture of the Daimyo Mansion had a high political influence, which was of great significance to the Liangshan Army to get rid of the identity of a 'bandit'.

Therefore, after the failure of the Liangshan army in the first attack on Daimyo County, Song Jiang led tens of thousands of main forces to confront the officers and soldiers in Bozhou, containing Liang Zhongshu's 30,000 troops, while Lu Junyi led 5,000 troops back to Xiangzhou and attacked the empty Daimyo's mansion from behind, which was an extremely clever strategy, but was seen through by Li Yanqing.

Hu Qing'er caught up with the team that was marching north, Hu Cheng found that his daughter's face was not very good, so he slowed down his horse and walked side by side with Hu Qing'er, "What's wrong?" Hu Cheng asked in a low voice.

"It's nothing, I want to try Brother Li's martial arts, but I still lost." Hu Qing'er casually made an excuse.

"Huh! I know very well his martial arts, his flying stone can be called the first in the world, and the archery developed on the basis of the flying stone is also outstanding, if you remove these two items, I don't think he is your opponent, unless you deliberately give it to him. ”

"I didn't mean to!"

Hu Qing'er blushed and said, "I obviously lost to him." ”

"Who dares to bully Xiao Sanniang!"

A rude voice suddenly came out behind him, Hu Cheng's father and daughter turned around, it was Wang Ying, the commander of the Liangshan army, Wang Ying was born as a reckless bandit, about thirty years old, with a short figure, a big head and a round waist, extremely strong, his legs were short, so he got a nickname Bantam Tiger, and made a seventy-pound long-handled copper hammer, which was infinitely powerful.

It's just that he is short and strong, but his appearance is also very bad, his face is full of meat, and there is a long scar from the corner of his left eye to his face, and his appearance is very vicious.

Although Wang Ying's appearance is not good, he has a high status in Liangshan, he is the descendant of the leader Song Jiang, and he has won the trust of Song Jiang, and this time as a deputy general, he followed Lu Junyi to attack the Daimyo's mansion.

At this time, Wang Ying stared at Hu Qing'er with a pair of copper bell eyes and said, "Which bird thief dares to be rude to Sanniang, tell my brother, and my brother will tear him up!" ”

Hu Qing'er's face sank, and she said coldly: "What does my matter have to do with you?" ”

If Hu Cheng is not there, Wang Ying will definitely pester Hu Qing'er with a hippie smile, and with Hu Cheng on the side, Wang Ying's face is a little unbearable, "Sanniang, I am a kind heart!" ”

Hu Cheng knew that this Wang Ying was vicious and had always been ruthless, he was afraid that his daughter would offend this person, so he hurriedly grabbed him and smiled: "Sanniang has always been very willful, don't worry about her, let's go to the front to talk to Lu Shuai about the military situation!" ”

"Huh..... All right! ”

Wang Ying glanced deeply at Hu Qing'er's high chest again, Hu Qing'er saw his obscene gaze, and his heart was suddenly furious, so he wanted to pick up the whip, Hu Cheng didn't wait for his daughter to attack, and hurriedly pulled Wang Ying away.

How could Wang Ying not know about his daughter's thoughts Hu Cheng, Song Jiang had hinted at himself twice, hoping that he could promote this marriage, although the two were very different in age, but it didn't matter, Wang Ying's appearance was vicious and ugly, which made Hu Cheng dislike, and this Hu Cheng could tolerate it.

But Hu Cheng must not tolerate Wang Ying's lewdness, Wang Ying is very good at fishing, he has been a mountain bandit for many years, and there are countless women from good families who have been ruined by him, and he will not restrain himself when he goes to Liangshan, he has long been notorious, such a man, how could Hu Cheng marry his daughter to him.

It's just that Wang Ying is Song Jiang's fellow countryman, and he has won Song Jiang's trust, ranking third in Song Jiang's lineage, second only to Wu Yong and Li Kui, and Hu Cheng doesn't dare to offend him too much.

There are many factions in Liangshan, after Lu Junyi went up the mountain, with his special relationship with Lin Chong, he quickly got the support of Lin Chong, Liu Tang, Ruan brothers and a group of old Chao Gai subordinates, plus Sun Li, Guan Sheng, Hu Cheng, Shi Xiu, Yang Xiong and other Hebei brothers, Lu Junyi has become the leader of the Liangshan forces alongside Song Jiang, although Song Jiang did not like it in his heart, but he had no choice but to let him inherit Chao Gai's position and become the second person in Liangshan.

Song Jiang wanted to promote the marriage between Wang Ying and Hu Qing'er, and the faint meaning was also to pull Hu Cheng over and split Lu Junyi's subordinates.

This time, Lu Junyi led his army to raid the Daimyo's mansion, but Song Jiang appointed Wang Ying as his deputy general, and his intention to monitor was obvious.

Lu Junyi also knew this, at this time, Lu Junyi said to Wang Ying and Hu Cheng: "I have asked most of the soldiers just now, more than half of the soldiers have run out of dry food, and the soldiers with the most dry food are not more than two days, I want to discuss with the two of you, go to the nearby villages to collect food, or go to Lushan Town to raise official food?" ”

As soon as Lu Junyi's words fell, Wang Ying said without hesitation: "How much grain a small town gets, it must be an attack on the county seat, Lu Shuai, I strongly recommend attacking the county seat." ”

"But attacking the county seat will expose our whereabouts, and the Daimyo's Mansion is likely to get the news in advance."

Wang Ying's insistence on attacking the county seat has his own deep meaning, he shook his head and said: "Lu Shuai is thinking too simply, isn't it that if we don't enter the county seat, Tang Yin won't know that we exist?" Revealing your whereabouts is certain, but food is also important, and without military rations, morale is gone. ”

This Liangshan army actually has more than 5,000 people, in addition to the 5,000 troops that detoured from Bozhou, there are more than 2,000 bankrupt peasants in Weizhou who are also willing to follow them to rebel, carrying hoes and wooden roots to follow behind them, the total strength has exceeded 7,000 people, and military rations are a big problem for Lu Junyi.

Lu Junyi looked at Hu Cheng, "What does Lao Hu mean?" ”

Hu Cheng lowered his head and thought about it, "Since it will have to be replenished sooner or later, it is better to supplement it in Xiangzhou than in the territory of the Daimyo's Mansion, in addition, the brothers have been marching day and night in the past few days, and they are all relatively tired, so they simply rest in Tangyin County for a day." ”

"I'm afraid the news will leak!"

Wang Ying said with a smile: "Lu Shuai, even if the news leaks out, there is no army resistance in the Daimyo Mansion, at most some officials escaped, if Liang Zhongshu divides troops to rescue, this is an opportunity to annihilate all the officers and soldiers, I believe that Brother Song can grasp it!" ”

Lu Junyi nodded, "Okay! Enter Tangyin County to rest. ”

Wang Ying was overjoyed and hurriedly added: "Then according to the convention, we will do the right thing for heaven!" ”

This is a matter that Wang Ying cares about, the so-called way for heaven is to kill stolen officials, this is the practice set by the Liangshan army, after capturing the city, the three armies are generally rewarded, but Song Jiang wants to build a reputation, and it is strictly forbidden to plunder the people's wealth, so Wu Yong planned a way to kill corrupt officials, killing corrupt officials can buy the hearts of the people, and at the same time, the wealth exploited by corrupt officials can be used to reward the army, which meets the financial needs of the Liangshan army, and also has the reputation of not committing any crime in autumn, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Lu Junyi sighed secretly, Wang Ying was from Song Jiang, since he insisted on doing so, he couldn't object, so he had to agree.

Wang Ying was in high spirits, waved his arms and shouted: "Brothers, capture Tangyin County and reward the three armies!" ”

The morale of the soldiers was greatly boosted, and they quickened their pace and rushed to Tangyin County, which was thirty miles away.

．．．．．．．．

It was noon when the 5,000 Liangshan army arrived in Tangyin County, but Tangyin County was not prepared at all, and dozens of township soldiers were still standing at the city gate chatting, at this moment, the pedestrians on the official road suddenly became frightened, shouted, and rushed to the city gate.

The villagers were startled and didn't know what was going on?

"What's going on over there?" A villager asked, pointing to the official road in the distance.

Everyone also saw it, only to see the dust on the official road, I don't know how many people ran to produce such an effect, a moment, more than a dozen pedestrians took the lead to run to the city gate, shouting: "Behind is an army, murderous, not like officers and soldiers!" ”

At this time, the 5,000 Liangshan army has appeared more than 200 steps away, only to see them in full armor, carrying spears on their shoulders, galloping in formation, there are generals on both sides of the horse to follow, carrying flags of various colors, from this point of view, this army is completely no different from the forbidden army, but they are too murderous, and the pedestrians are scared to scatter and flee.

The villagers looked at each other, and looked back at the head of the team, and the head of the team had no bottom in his heart, and he wanted to close the city gate but did not dare to close it, at this moment, a stray arrow shot at each other, hitting the chest of a village soldier, and the village soldier screamed and fell to the ground.

The crowd suddenly came to their senses and ran towards the city shouting, "Close the gates!" Close the gates! ”

The city gate began to close slowly, but it was too late, Wang Ying took the lead, he brandished a sledgehammer, rushed into the city when the city gate was about to close, brandished a copper hammer and killed, more than a thousand subordinates also followed Wang Ying into Tangyin County, Tangyin County fell.
