After three rounds of drinking, Sanniang said: "Two generals, don't doubt each other, when I Liangshan and others fell into the grass in their early years, they had no dissent, and they were only forced to do so by being a traitor and abusive official. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info was pardoned by the imperial court last year, but the conditions for recruiting peace have not yet been negotiated, so he has not changed his flag and returned to obedience. But Wen Tianhu, a thief, harmed the people in Sanjin, and I, Liangshan, wanted to contribute to the court and save the people, so I took the initiative to ask Ying to fight. I don't want me to be fighting with Tian Hu here, but the court listens to the slander of the traitorous ministers, and commands the troops to fight me Liangshan. I attacked Tian Hu here, and the court did not reward him, but used soldiers to fight, what is the reason? ”

Han Cunbao said: "Lord Bo Gaoyi, we all admire it." Defeating Tian Hu is indeed a great achievement, but it is not rewarded, and it is indeed against morality that the imperial court is raising troops to fight now. It's just that I heard that the imperial court had sent officials to receive Tianhuzhou County by order, but the owner refused to leave, so there was this section. ”

During the banquet, Sanniang smiled at Han Cunbao and said: "At that time, the land of Sanjin was all fighting, and all the prefectures and counties had just been overcome, and it was still necessary to clear the Tianhu remnant party, how could it be handed over immediately?" Moreover, the imperial court has not agreed to my Liangshan recruitment conditions, and my Liangshan is not subordinate to the imperial court, how can I obey the order? Third, my Liangshan sent troops, consumed money and food, and the soldiers used their lives, and without the slightest praise, the imperial court sent people to receive the city, how can I teach people to be convinced? Han Cunbao said: "What the owner said is very true, just because most of the people in the DPRK are traitors and have mistaken national affairs. ”

Speaking of this, Sanniang took out a letter sealed with fire paint and said, "You two can rest assured, after a few days of rest, you can go by yourself." But the original Wucheng has been besieged, and there can be no more to go there, so why don't you go straight back to Tokyo, present the situation here to the Ming court for me, and then forward my letter to the Son of Heaven. The lives of more than 100,000 officers and soldiers in the original martial city were here, and the two of them were determined to deliver the letter. ”

Han Cunbao and Dang Shixiong were all shocked when they heard this, and Han Cunbao took the letter and collected it properly: "Don't worry, for the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the two families, I will definitely deliver the letter." After I go back, I will make the last resort of Liangshan truthful, and the court will change its mind, agree to recruit peace conditions, and recruit rest soldiers early. ”

Sanniang was overjoyed, and Lu Junyi had a feast with the two of them at the moment, set up a feast to wait, and the next day, with a saddle horse, he was sent out of the camp. Both of them said on the road that Sanniang had many benefits, and they only looked to Tokyo.

When I returned to Tokyo in a day, I first went to the Privy Council to meet Tong Guan. Seeing Tong Guan, it was time to pay homage, Tong Guanqi said: "You two are not fighting by the side of the captain, why did you return to the capital?" Han Cunbao and Dang Shixiong didn't dare to hide it, so they immediately told Gao Yu that Gao Yu was defeated and surrounded by Yuanwu, and after the two were captured, they were put back.

Besides, when it was not Sanniang's intention to raise troops to resist, Tong Guan said angrily: "This is the trick of the female thief, slowing down the hearts of our army." You two, what faces do you see me! Left and right with me to roll, cut the report! ”

The officials in the Privy Council on the left and right knelt down and said, "It's not the business of these two people, it's the plan of the Liangshan female thief." If you behead these two people, you will be laughed at by the thieves. Tong Guan was bitterly told by everyone, spared two lives, cut off his own ministry, taught him to be imprisoned for the time being, and relieved Taiyi Palace of Listening to the crime.

It turned out that this Han Cunbao was Han Zhongyan's nephew. Zhongyan is an old lady of the country, a court official, and many of them are under his door. There is a professor in the door, surnamed Zheng Juzhong, who was originally a person from Han Zhongyanju, and saw Dr. Ren Yushi. Hearing that Han Cunbao was in prison, he came to inquire, and in prison, Han Cunbao told him about the previous incident, and entrusted Sanniang's letters to him; When Zheng Juzhong heard this, he knew that the matter was very important, so he immediately got into the sedan chair and brought a letter to Shangshu Yu Shen to discuss the matter.

Yu Shen said: "This matter must be discussed with Su Taiwei before it can be played face-to-face." The two came to see that Su Taiwei told Gao Yu about the defeat and siege, and Su Taiwei was shocked when he heard this: "The elite 100,000 of the Western Army is the last branch in the country that can be mobilized soldiers and horses. Moreover, if the land of the Three Jin Dynasty can't return to the court early, what should it do? Now the Liangshan army and horses occupy the land of the Three Jin Dynasty, and surround 100,000 military horses, if the original army is broken and the Yellow River is crossed in the south, sooner or later the army will come to the city, and there will be no turn, the court should make a judgment as soon as possible, and it must not be delayed! ”

At that moment, the three of them discussed it before they went home. About the next morning, the Daojun Tianzi ascended to the palace, and Su Yuanjing was the first to go out and say all the words of Han Cunbao and Dang Shixiong. The ministers of the court were all shocked, only after Gao Yu was surrounded, the Liangshan water army cut off the waterway of the Yellow River in the south, and no one had sent the news to come, so the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty did not know that the official army was defeated and surrounded, and they were all shocked when they heard it at this moment.

Then Su Yuanjing said Sanniang's words again, and then submitted Sanniang's letter, and finally said: "Now Liangshan not only controls the land of the Three Jin Dynasty, the land of five states and fifty-six counties, but also surrounds the 100,000 elites of the Western Army, the land of the Three Jins, and the 100,000 soldiers and horses, all of which are in the matter of recruiting An. If the recruitment can be successful, 100,000 military horses can be spared, and the land of the Three Jin Dynasty can be recovered without a single soldier. The minister, please discuss the matter of Liangshan Zhao'an again. ”

The Son of Heaven opened Sanniang's letter and saw that it was written: "The Song Dynasty Emperor Mingjian, the Liangshan army and horses contributed to the imperial court to conquer Tianhu, but they were not rewarded, but were attacked by the official army, but the official army lost peace first. Now I Liangshan holds the land of the three Jin and five states, and now I am surrounded by 100,000 officers and soldiers, if I want 100,000 officers and soldiers to be safe, I want to hand over the land of the three Jins, and ask the Son of Heaven to agree to open the town of Shandong all the way, otherwise the land of the three Jin Dynasty is another West China, and the 100,000 officers and soldiers will also be destroyed overnight. And my Liangshan military horse will go straight to the bank of the Yellow River, peeking at Tokyo, where to go, think twice! ”

Just looking at these words, the literature and science do not understand, the vernacular is throughout, the Son of Heaven loves and hates in his heart, and he does not dare to hand over such rude letters to the ministers to read, and immediately put them in his sleeves, looks at the ministers and says: "This Liangshan Bo Lord prayed for peace in the letter, what should I do now?" ”

Su Yuanjing said: "Since you agree to Zhao'an and teach him to open Shandong, you can take back the Sanjin and rescue 100,000 military horses." Tong Guan came out of the class and said: "How can you show weakness to the female thief? When 100,000 forbidden troops in Beijing are mobilized, and tens of thousands of elite soldiers are dispatched to the west of China, and they will go to relieve the siege! ”

As soon as this remark came out, the ministers of the court all talked about it, and everyone knew what kind of virtue those forbidden troops in Beijing were. At that moment, Su Yuanjing said angrily: "Dare to ask the privy council, the forbidden army has gone, who will protect the capital?" The 100,000 Western troops in West China will have to be transferred to tens of thousands, what about the land of West China? How long did it take to mobilize the army and horses? How long can the 100,000 military horses of the original army hold on? Again, where you have mobilized a large army, can you have a boat master to cross the river? Tong Guan said angrily: "Spread the word to the world over there, and teach the world to come with all the soldiers and horses of King Qin!" ”

Above the court, Tong Guan, Cai Qian and the party argued with Su Yuanjing and others, and in the end they only looked at Emperor Daojun. The Son of Heaven hesitated again and again, but he couldn't make up his mind, and he said to Yuanjing: "Your Majesty can't hesitate, if the elite of the 100,000 Western Army of Yuan Wu is lost, even if Liangshan doesn't let the land of Sanjin, I'm afraid that she will wave her army there and go south and go straight to the city of Tokyo, so what can I do?" Now that the south of the Yangtze River is not flat, the army of King Qin is mobilized, and the world is shaken, which is an unwise move! ”

Tong Guan said angrily: "If you dare to come to Tokyo, you should mobilize the world's soldiers and horses to exterminate this female thief in one fell swoop!" How does the world shake? Teach this female thief to open the town, and as soon as the evil example is opened, the world will be shaken! Su Yuanjing sneered: "Mobilize the world's soldiers and horses, Jiangnan, what about Zhuwu in Huaxi?" Zhao'an Liangshan, you can stop the war and open the town of Shandong, although you lose all the way to Shandong, but you can protect the stability of the country, why not? Even if the imperial court does not agree to Zhao'an, can the military horses in the country recover the land of Shandong? If the persecution continues, the land of Shandong, Huaxi, and Sanjin will all be the second Xia Kingdom! ”

Tong Guan sneered: "Opening the town of Shandong, as soon as such a precedent is opened, the country will not be a country, the late Tang Dynasty will be divided, and the country will be turbulent, all because of this!" Su Yuanjing also sneered: "If it weren't for the successive defeats of the army, why did it come to this point? The only way to do this is to keep the 100,000 soldiers and horses first, and make some plans for the future. ”

Su Yuanjing finally pleaded: "Your Majesty, at present, we should first rescue Gao Taiwei and 100,000 soldiers and horses, even if Liangshan opens the town of Shandong, when the heavenly soldiers sweep the square in the future, Zhu Wu will also drive him into Shandong, and after all places are calmed, you can concentrate the army and do the conquest and suppression, at this moment it is impossible to do anything, and you can't force it." ”

The two sides argued, the Son of Heaven coughed lightly, and the ministers calmed down, only to hear the Son of Heaven say slowly: "First inquire into Yuan Wu's place, Gao Yu's military situation, and then make a decision!" The day was undecided, and they dispersed.

Then Song Tingduo sent people to inquire about the news of Yuanwu, more than ten days later, the news came back, and said that Yuanwu was surrounded by more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in Liangshan, and the soldiers and horses of the Taiwei in the city clashed repeatedly, all of which were blocked back by the Liangshan camp trenches, and could not break through.

After receiving this news, the Song court was gloomy, but there were still endless disputes on whether to agree to Liangshan to open the town, and no conclusion was reached. Tong Guan wanted to mobilize the remaining 100,000 elite troops of the Western Army in West China to help, but Zhu Wu raised troops there several times to confront the official army, and there were 100,000 military horses in West China, and the official army repeatedly attacked Huazhou, but they were not victorious.

Huazhou is based on Huashan in the front, and Jingwei is in the rear, controlling Tongguan on the left and blocking Lantian Pass on the right, you don't have to think about it to know that if the 100,000 officers and troops in West China retreat, Zhu Wu will definitely divide his troops to attack Tongguan, Lantian Pass and other places, once Tongguan is lost, the Song Dynasty is more passive. What worries the Song court even more, Xia Guo is also ready to move at this time, although the Song court occupied Hengshan and got the geographical advantage, but Xia Guo has been fighting hard, preparing to recapture Hengshan, if the elite of the Western West Army of West China goes east, I am afraid that Xia Guo will also destroy the alliance and reattack Hengshan.

After such a stalemate, on this day, Niu Bangxi, a colonel under the command of Captain Taketaka of the former Taketaka in Tokyo City, rushed back and went to the Privy Council to see Tong Guan. Tong Guan saw Niu Bangxi coming, and only brought a few entourages, all of whom were yellow and thin, and their clothes were ragged, so they were frightened and hurriedly asked the reason. Niu Bangxi kowtowed and cried: "The privy councillor goes up again, and I implore the privy councillor to save the 100,000 soldiers and horses of the original army and my captain." At that moment, he cried and told the situation in the original martial city.

It turned out that Gao Yu's 100,000 army was trapped in Yuanwu, and Yuanwu was the place where Gao Yu sent troops to settle grain, and a lot of grain and grass were originally hoarded in the city, even 100,000 military horses were enough to support half a year. I have broken through many times before, although I have repeatedly failed to resist, but there is food in the city, and I am not panicked.

But I didn't want to do it more than ten days ago, Liangshan Hu Sanniang sent Shi Qian, Bai Sheng and others to sneak into the city, and after finding out where the grain in the city was, he set up dozens of flying towers outside the city, and arranged thunder rockets on them, and then under the cover of heavy troops, they arrived close to the edge of the city, and attacked the granary in the city with rockets on the flying towers.

As a result, those rockets ignited the fire, and Gongsun Sheng and Qiao Daoqing summoned a strong wind, the wind blocked the fire, and the Song army could not be rescued, and most of the grain and grass of the Song army were burned for half a year.

There was no food, Gao Yu was suddenly anxious, and could only ask Ji Wen Huanzhang, Wen Huanzhang said: "The only plan for today is to forbear for the time being, please allow the imperial court to allow Liangshan to open the town of Shandong, and keep the 100,000 soldiers and horses for the time being, and then make plans after destroying Fang La."
