And said that after Wang Ding went, the Taishi immediately sent the government to ask the Privy Council to come urgently to discuss the important military situation. When it was not moved, Tong Guan, the privy envoy of the East Hall, led the three Taiwei to the festival hall to see the Taishi. Cai Jing said in detail about the critical matter of the daimyo: "What strategy will be used now, what good general will be used, and the thieves can be retreated to protect the city?" After that, the officials looked at each other, each with their own fears.

Gao Yu, the captain of the number, turned out and said: "The Daimyo's Mansion is very urgent, and it is difficult to quench the thirst of the near water, so I want to send reinforcements, and I should raise troops in the military state near the left." There are two mansions of Dongping and Dongchang in the east of Liangshan, and there are two generals in the two mansions, one calls Dong Ping, the other calls Zhang Qing, who has no feather arrows, all of them are not brave, and there are more than 20,000 soldiers and horses in the two state capitals. But under the starry night, the second general raised 20,000 troops and went to attack Liangshan Shuibo. Thinking that the demon girl mentioned the Liangshan military horse in the Daimyo's mansion, the Liangshan thief's nest must be empty, this is the plan to save Zhao from Wei Wei. ”

Taishi Cai bowed his head slightly when he heard this, and looked at Tong Guan again, Tong Guan said: "It is a good plan to encircle Wei to save Zhao, but the Daimyo's Mansion also needs military horses to rescue." There are two generals in Lingzhou, one surnamed Shan, whose name is Tingju; One person's surname is Wei, his name is Dingguo, and he is currently the training envoy of the Benzhou regiment. 10,000 military horses from Honshu can be used to rescue the Daimyo's Mansion. There is a righteous army near the left of Shangling Prefecture, Zengtou City, led by Shi Wengong, there are several good generals, and there are more than 20,000 military horses. On his last trip, Shi Wengong, a teacher there, shot Liangshan Chao Gai to death, and Liangshan killed two of the five sons of the Zeng family, so Zeng Tou City and Liang Shanshui Bo had a deep hatred. It is also close to the left of Lingzhou, just enough to go there, Xu to cheaply, teach him to raise an army, and go to the Daimyo Mansion with 30,000 troops with the second general of Lingzhou. ”

When Taishi Cai heard this, Fang Xi said: "Such a two-pronged approach is a foolproof strategy. ”

On the fifth watch of the next day, the Jingyang bell rang, and the people in the missing courtyard gathered the civil and military ministers, headed by Cai Taishi, and went straight to the jade steps, and played the Daojun Emperor and the Daimyo's Mansion was besieged. The Son of Heaven was shocked when he played it. Zhao Ding, a counselor, went out of the class and said: "The former often transfer troops and recruit troops, and they all lose their generals, and they lose their geographical advantages, so that this is the case." With the foolishness of the minister, it is better to surrender the forgiveness of the crime and recruit peace, and the edict is taken to go to the que, and the order is to be a good minister, so as to prevent the harm of the border. ”

Cai Jing was furious when he heard this, and shouted: "You are a doctor who advises the doctor, rebels against the discipline of the imperial court, rampant villains, and death for crimes!" The Son of Heaven said: "In this way, the order will be sent out of the court now." "At the moment, I dismissed Zhao Ding's official lord, and I was dismissed as a concubine, who dared to play again. There is a poem as proof: the seal book is a good strategy, but the loyalty is a revenge. After the old adults went, the Liangshan military horses could not be collected.

The Son of Heaven asked Cai Jing again: "It seems that this thief is rampant, who can be sent to arrest him?" Cai Taishi played: "The ministers are such mountain and wild grass thieves, and they use the army, and there are two generals in Lingzhou: one is surnamed Shan, and his name is Tingju; One person's surname is Wei, his name is Dingguo, and he is currently the training envoy of the Benzhou regiment. There is also a righteous army in Zengtou City, and 30,000 troops from the two places can go to the Daimyo's Mansion to help. In addition, Dongping and Dongchang two generals, Dong Ping, a two-gun general, and Zhang Qing, who had no feather arrows, could raise 20,000 troops, so that the plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao was to attack Liangshan Shuibo on the left, and teach them not to care about each other. His Majesty's holy decree, send people in the starry night, and transfer these few branches of men and horses, they will definitely be able to overcome the siege and sweep away the clear water. ”

The Son of Heaven was overjoyed, and immediately wrote an edict and dispatched it to the Privy Council. The Son of Heaven got up, the hundred officials retreated, and the officials laughed secretly. On the same day, Cai Jinghui was a messenger of the provincial court, and he held the holy decree and went to Lingzhou, Dongping, Dongchang and other places.

However, it was said that here in Tokyo, the Song Dynasty mobilized military horses to move, and Liangshan had already made a detailed investigation, and released carrier pigeons on the same day. Two days later, the news of Song Ting's mobilization of military horses had been placed on Sanniang's desk.

After receiving the report, Sanniang immediately convened the generals to discuss the matter. After the generals arrived, Huang Wenbing said: "Beijing Liang Zhongshu really applied for the imperial court, and he wanted to transfer troops to recruit and suppress them. There was a counselor Zhao Dingzuo who asked for Zhao'an, but he was scolded by Cai Jing and cut Zhao Ding's official position. Now that he has played the Son of Heaven, he sent someone to hold the talisman, and sent two regiments of Shan Tingqi and Wei Dingguo to Lingzhou to train envoys, set up the military horses of Benzhou, and colluded with the military horses of Zengtou City, raised 20,000 troops, and came to reinforce the army. There are still 20,000 troops and horses in Dongping and Dongchang, and Dong Ping and Zhang Qing with two guns and no feather arrows went to attack my Liangshan Dazhai, which is the plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao. ”

Sanniang looked around at the generals and said, "How do you meet the enemy like this?" Lin Chong said: "When he came, he was caught." ”

Guan Sheng got up and said to Sanniang: "Since Guan Mou went up the mountain, he has felt the kindness of his brother, and he has never exerted half of his strength. Shan Tingqi, Wei Dingguo, and Pucheng have met many times. I have known for a long time that Shan Tingqi is good at the method of immersing soldiers with water, and everyone is called the holy water general. Wei Dingguo's guy is proficient in the art of fire attack and can use firearms to take people when he goes into battle, so he is called 'General Shenhuo'. Lingzhou is the territory, and is also in charge of the soldiers and horses of the state, and takes these two people as subordinates. The younger brother is not talented, and he is willing to borrow 5,000 soldiers, and without waiting for his second general to arrive, he will catch him on the Lingzhou Road first. If he will come down, bring him up to the mountain; If he refuses to surrender, he must be captured and sacrificed to his brother, and there is no need to use the bows and arrows of the leaders to exert their spirits. I don't know what it means? ”

Huang Wenbing said: "General Guan must be careful, he has 10,000 troops there, and 20,000 military horses such as Shi Wengong of Zengtou City are wings, and it is difficult to do so." ”

Sanniang muttered: "If Shi Wen Gong comes, I will definitely go in person, here in the Daimyo's Mansion, I will invite Senior Brother and Huang Junshi to sit in charge." I personally led 15,000 military horses, and the thirteen leaders of my senior brothers, Lu Junyi, Guan Sheng, Hu Yanzhuo, Xu Ning, Lu Fang, Guo Sheng, Xuanzan, Hao Siwen, Han Tao, Peng Xi, Yan Qing, Li Zhong, and Zhou Tong, went to meet the Lingzhou military horses. Then under the book and Liangshan, the Gonggong Sun Sheng, Master Lu, Wu Xing and others prepared to meet Dong Ping and Zhang Qing's two military horses. ”

At the moment, the plan was decided, and on the same day, Sanniang led Lu Junyi and other ten generals to raise 10,000 troops and horses to prepare to go south. He called Guan Sheng to lead Xuanzan and Hao Siwen, and three thousand military horses to go first. Guan Sheng brought 3,000 military horses and opened the way first.

After Guan Sheng led the army to go first, Sanniang's middle army and rear army were still preparing, Lin Chong didn't know where to go, so he said to Sanniang: "Guan Sheng is going, he didn't protect his heart, he can send a good general, and then supervise, just respond." ”

Sanniang said with a smile: "I look at Guan Sheng's righteous spirit and consistency, and the military advisor does not need to be suspicious." Li Kui was angry because he didn't send him this trip, and when he heard the words, he shouted: "I'll go for a walk, if Guan wins two sides and three knives, I will teach him to eat two axes." ”

Sanniang said: "If you don't use it this time, Guan Sheng will not rebel." Li Kui lamented: "Good sister-in-law, I am only stationed under this bird city all day long, and my brothers are not allowed to fight, and if I am in a panic, I will get sick, and if I am not told to go, I will go alone." ”

Sanniang shouted: "If you don't listen to my military orders, cut off your head and kick it as a ball!" Li Kui saw that he was depressed and left the tent. The next day, after the Chinese army, the rear army, and the military horses, equipment, grain and grass were complete, Sanniang took the troops on the road.

Fang went out of the gate, only to see Xiaojun come to report: "Black Whirlwind Li Kui took two plate axes last night, I don't know where I went!" When Sanniang saw the report, she frowned and scolded with a smile: "This black guy must not be angry that I will not let him go, so he will go alone first." Ignore him, just go first. When he comes back, he will have his own military law to serve! Then he led the army away.

Let's say that Li Kui left the besieged camp at night with two board axes and took a small path to Lingzhou. Along the way, he thought to himself: "These two bird generals and the bird military horses of Zengtou City, why do you have to recruit many military horses to recruit him!" I stopped them in the middle of the road, slashed them all with an axe, and surprised my sister-in-law! Fight with them too! ”

After walking for a long time, I was hungry, and I left the camp in a panic, and I never took it with me. After not doing this business for a long time, he thought: "I have to find a bird to vent." While walking, he saw a village hotel on the side of the road, so Li Kui went inside and sat down, ate three catties of wine and two catties of meat, got up and left. The bartender stopped and begged for money.

Li Kui said: "When I go ahead to find some deals, I will pay you back!" Then he set off. I saw a big man walk in outside, and shouted: "You black guy, so bold!" Whoever opened the hotel, you come to eat for nothing, and refuse to pay back! Li Kui opened his eyes and said, "The master doesn't choose there, he just eats for nothing!" The man said: "When I told you, I was so shocked that you urinated and fart!" The master is Liangshanbo, a good man, Han Bolong! The capital is all the white lotus saintess. ”

Li Kui laughed secretly when he heard this: "I recognize this birdman in my cottage!" It turned out that Han Bolong had robbed houses on the rivers and lakes, and wanted to come to Shangliangshan to join the gang, but he defected to Zhu Gui in the dry land and asked him to introduce Sanniang. Because it was Sanniang's expedition to the Daimyo's mansion, he never saw it, so Zhu Guiquan taught him to go back to the village to sell wine and wait for news.

At that time, Li Kui went to his waist and pulled out a plate axe, looked at Han Bolong and said, "Take the ax as a pawn." Han Bolong didn't know what to do, so he came to pick it up, and saw Li Kui's hand up, looking at the door with only an axe, which was being chopped. Poor Han Bolong became a strong man for half a lifetime and died at the hands of Li Kui. Two or three fire families, only hating the grandmother for having two feet less, went to the village of Wangshen. Li Kui plundered the coil underground, set fire to the grass hut, and went to Lingzhou.

I can't go for a day, and when I was walking, next to the official road, I saw a big man walking by, straight up and down Li Kui. When Li Kui saw the man looking at him, he said, "What do you think of the master?" The man replied, "Whose lord are you?" Li Kui rushed in. The man raised a punch and hit a tower pier, Li Kui thought: "This man makes a good punch!" Sitting on the ground, he raised his face and asked, "Who is your surname, this man?" ”

Na Han said: "The master has no surname, if he wants to fight, he will fight with you!" You dare to get up! Li Kui was furious, and was about to jump up, when he was kicked by the man Ribori and kicked again. Li Kui shouted: "He can't win." "Get up and go. The man stopped and asked, "This black man, what is your name?" Where are the people? ”

Li Kui said: "I said to you, don't be surprised." I am Liangshan Bo Black Whirlwind Li Kui. The Han said: "Are you serving it?" Don't lie. Li Kui said: "You don't believe it, just look at my two plate axes." Na Han said: "Since you are a good man in Liangshan, you will go there alone?" ”

Li Kui said: "I don't say goodbye to my sister-in-law, I want to go halfway to kill the two surnamed Wei." Na Han said: "I heard that you have a military horse in Liangshanbo, who are you talking about?" Li Kui said: "First of all, Dadao Guan Sheng led the troops, and then Yizhang Qing's sister-in-law personally led the army to conquest. ”

When the man heard this, he bowed his head and bowed. Li Kui said: "Who is your surname?" Nahan said: "The villain was originally a native of Zhongshan Prefecture, with three generations of ancestors, and sumo wrestling for a living. But he has only hands and feet, and he has passed it on from father to son, not to teach his disciples. I am the most faceless in my life, and I can't be seen everywhere, and Shandong and Hebei all call me to be faceless. Recently, I inquired about it on the left, and there is a mountain called Dead Tree Mountain. There is a strong man on the mountain, who has to kill people in his life, and the world compares him to the god of mourning, surnamed Bao Mingxu. He was in the mountains, robbing houses, and I am going to go there now. ”

Li Kui said: "You have such ability, why don't you come to my sister-in-law?" Jiao Ting said: "I have to go to Dazhai for a long time to join the gang, but there is no way. I have to meet my brother today, and I am willing to follow my brother. Li Kui said: "But I have to fight with my sister-in-law and go down the mountain, if I don't kill a person, how can I go back with my empty hands?" You and I went to Dry Tree Mountain, said Bao Xu, went to Lingzhou halfway together, killed Shan and Wei Erjun, and then returned to the mountain. Jiao Ting said: "I heard that the military horses of Lingzhou have joined forces with the military horses of Zengtou City, that is, thirty or forty thousand military horses are there, and I and you are only two, so we have a lot of ability, and it is useless, and we have lost our lives in vain; It's better to go to Dry Tree Mountain and say Bao Xu, and go to Dazhai to join in, which is the best plan. After the two of them had agreed, they went to the Dead Tree Mountain. (To be continued.) )
