Chapter 8 Victory and Return to Feast and Celebrate Defeat and Resentment Raise Troops Again
In Sanniang's house, after hearing Lin Chong ask about the marriage, Sanniang was stunned and said in a low voice: "This war is over, and I can also save the Chai officials to get out, and when I have to return to Hujiazhuang, I will listen to my father's arrangement." ”
Lin Chong twisted his beard and smiled slightly: "Your life is decided, but it is also a matter of concern for senior brother." Chao Tianwang is a good person, righteous first, affectionate and righteous, and he is a person worthy of entrusting him for life. After a pause, Lin Chong said again: "I heard that when I was recruiting relatives in this martial arts competition, my junior brother also came?" ”
Speaking of Shi Wengong, Sanniang sighed and said: "Exactly, it's just that Senior Brother Shi is no longer the previous Senior Brother Shi, he voted for Zengtou City and became a head coach in the Zeng family, and Zengtou City is a dark chess piece sent by the Jin people to my Central Plains." I also talked to Senior Brother Shi alone, but he persuaded me to take the Hu family and go to the Jurchen Jin Kingdom. And when he came to the competition to recruit relatives, he was uneasy and kind, he just wanted to win the competition, and after marrying me, he would be able to take the Hu family and Shaohua Mountain into his arms, so that he could ask for credit from his master of the Jin Kingdom. It's really chilling to think about, it turns out that Senior Brother Shi is no longer the Senior Brother Shi of the year. ”
After hearing this, Lin Chong said angrily: "The two of us here, only because of the corrupt officials in the court and the corrupt officials in the court, we have no choice but to fall into the grass and make it difficult for those corrupt officials in the court. Senior Brother Shi is so confused, for the sake of his own glory and wealth, he actually took refuge in a foreign clan, so I don't recognize this junior brother as coming. It's no wonder that Shi Wengong said that Shi Wengong was not right, and it turned out to be as he said. I think that the Jurchen Jin Kingdom actually sent the Zeng family to the Central Plains to go undercover, and the plan must be not small, and if he defeats the Liao State in the future, he will definitely enter the Central Plains. Najangdo is located near Jeju. It seems that we have to guard against it. ”
Sanniang said: "Recently, I heard that the Song court intends to join forces with the Jin State to destroy Liao, and Liangshan and my Hu family are in the first place. It is necessary to beware of the officers and soldiers joining forces with the Zeng family to send troops to recruit you and me. ”
Lin Chong said: "Liangshan and the Hu family naturally take care of each other. Helping each other. After a pause, Lin Chong said again: "Before sending troops to Gaotang Prefecture, I received a letter from Shizun here, which said that Shizun had been traveling around these days, and the letter also said that Shizun's old man had accepted another little junior brother. ”
Sanniang was slightly stunned and asked, "That little junior brother is surnamed Yue?" Lin Chongqi said: "How do you know? Shizun said that he accepted a closed disciple, who was surnamed Yue. Sanniang was secretly happy, it seemed that this Yue Wumu had really become her junior brother.
At that moment, Sanniang smiled and said: "Shizun, this apprentice has received it well. I'm not the youngest one after all, and I will have a little junior brother to bully in the future. Lin Chong said with a smile: "I'm going to get married, and I'm still messing around like this." ”
Sanniang choked and asked, "What else did Shizun say?" Lin Chong said: "Shizun said in the letter that he has been fighting with corrupt officials and traitors in the DPRK and China all his life, and he joined forces with his senior brother to scuttle many Huashigang boats on the Yellow River waterway, but the government sank one and looted two. It was the people of Jiangnan who suffered, so the master felt deeply uneasy, so he temporarily put aside those things and traveled to the rivers and lakes. The elder brother went back to the Daimyo's mansion. Be his rich man. At the end, I talked about you, and said that senior sister, you set up a banner to act for the way of heaven, which is quite in line with the appetite of the master. In the future, if there is a problem, the master will come to help. Teach you to act well and continue to fight with the government. Sanniang listened to this and said warmly: "Shizun is really hard-mouthed and soft-hearted. ”
Lin Chong said: "It's okay for the master to wander around. I'm only worried about the senior brother now, he has a great career in the Daimyo's mansion and a good reputation, so I'm afraid that the two of me will be involved here. Sanniang said: "Also, why don't you write to the senior brother later and remind the senior brother that if the government has any difficulties for him, you can write to me and help." ”
After the two talked about the teacher for a while, Sanniang asked, "What has happened in Liangshan recently?" Lin Chong said: "It is a group of new people who have recently come in, led by Dengzhou soldiers and horses, and also a member of my fellow disciples. ”
Sanniang sighed, Lin Chong said in detail, it turned out that it was still the same as in the original book, Dengzhou soldiers and horses were under the jurisdiction of Sun Li, just because the brother Sun Xin and the younger sister Gu sister-in-law wanted to save the two brothers Xie Zhen and Xie Bao, who were framed by the powerful Mao Taigong in Benzhou, and teamed up with Zou Yuan, Zou Run, Le He and others at the level of Dengzhou Mansion Prison to rob the prison and go out of the state, and finally had no choice but to vote for Liangshan.
After Sanniang listened, she muttered: "Then Sun Li heard that he is the same door of Uncle Luan Tingyu, why didn't he come to join my Hujiazhuang?" Lin Chong smiled slightly: "At that time, the Hu family was fighting with the Zhu family, and Sun Li heard that Uncle Luan was fighting with you, so he was afraid that you would suspect him, so he never went to Jizhou." ”
Sanniang was slightly disappointed and said, "It would be good if you came to me." Lin Chong laughed in a low voice: "Senior brother has already talked to Sun Tihe in private, and he also has great admiration for your reputation. Senior sister can rest assured, this person and his group are all loyal to the Heavenly King, and now that you and the Heavenly King are married, sooner or later they will be one husband and wife, then Sun Li will still not be able to escape. ”
Sanniang couldn't help but shudder when she heard the sentence that husband and wife were one in the morning and evening, and reluctantly smiled: "Then I can feel at ease." Then he asked, "After Song Abshisi went up the mountain, what did he do?" ”
Lin Chong frowned and said: "There is no move, governing the cottage and making friends with the brothers, that's all." Sanniang said: "Senior brother, you should pay more attention to this person, this person is too deep in the city, and he is hopeful, not like an incompetent person who is willing to live under others." Lin Chong bowed his head and said, "Senior brother can save it." The two discussed for a long time before parting.
After resting in Gaotang Prefecture for a few days, Sanniang and Song Jiang discussed and agreed, and on the fifth day, the two armies went out of the city one after another, with the Liangshan military horses going first and the Hujia military horses behind. Sanniang ordered the carriage and horse to carry Chai Jin and Chai Huangcheng's family, led the generals to leave Gaotang Prefecture, and returned to Hujiazhuang in victory. In the states and counties he passed, Qiu did not commit any crimes. It has been more than ten days on the road, back to Hujiazhuang, Chao Gai is still on the village, Chai Jin helps the sick, and calls Xie Chao Gai, Sanniang and the leaders. Sanniang instructed Chai Daguan to find another piece of white land in Dulonggang, and built a manor to rest with Chai Jin and his family. This time, Gaotang Prefecture won, and the Chai family came to vote, and they got the money and grain of Gaotang Prefecture, and the whole family village was happy, and it was a celebratory feast, which was not a problem.
In addition, Dongchang and Kouzhou, known as Gaotang Prefecture, Liangshan and Hujia allied forces killed Gao Lian and lost the city, so they had to write a table to send people to apply for the imperial court. There are also officials who fled from Gaotang Prefecture, and they all went to Beijing to say that they knew the truth.
When Gao Taiwei heard this, he knew that he had killed his brother Gao Lian and saved Chai Jin's family, and he was furious, and he remembered his former hatred, and he hated Hu Sanniang even more. On the same day, he hurriedly went to Cai Jing's mansion, entered the hall, and Cai Jing had already seen the ceremony, and after the tea and soup, Gao Yu said: "Grace Xiangmingjian, that Hu family demon girl, has done great evil, killed officials and rebelled." On the previous trip, the prime minister focused on the war of the Xia Kingdom, and after the defeat of the Jizhou army and horses, he did not send troops to recruit again. But at this time, this demon girl openly raised troops, colluded with Liangshan thieves, first moved all the money and food of the Chai family in Cangzhou back to the Hu family, and then broke Gaotang Prefecture, killed all the officials and people in Gaotang Prefecture, and took all the warehouses and warehouses away. If he doesn't punish him early, he will develop a thief day by day, and it will be difficult to subdue him. ”
Cai Jing also got the news there, and after pondering for a while, he ordered Wen Huanzhang to be summoned left and right to ask for advice. When Wen Huanzhang arrived, after seeing the ceremony, Cai Jingjiao sat down, talking about the origin of the relationship, Wen Huanzhang heard the words and said: "The previous attack on the Xia Kingdom is tight, and the favor is a rat taboo, so let the demon girl a horse for the time being." She dominated Dulonggang there, governed the villages, and drilled the army and horses, and now she has full wings, and she even openly raised troops to invade other states and counties, and also robbed the Chai family and the family's money. This time the war in the Xia Kingdom has been decided, and he can already draw his hand to deal with this demon girl. I don't know what to do? ”
When Cai Jing heard this, he sat down as usual, but said: "It's a pity that Chai Jin has those family wealth." After a pause, Cai Jingfang said: "Fighting is going to fight, since you want to subdue this demon girl, you have to think of a foolproof strategy and succeed in one fell swoop." What is Mr. Wen's plan? ”
Wen Huanzhang said: "The military in the northwest has just stopped their horses, and there are still many things to deal with there, and he can't come east for a while, and he still has a Huazhou in his throat." Xiao Sheng thought that this trip was to use soldiers or capture the thief to capture the king first, and the east and west sides used soldiers at the same time, but it was a quiet fight in the east and west. ”
Cai Jing sighed and said: "What is the meaning of fighting in the east and quieting in the west? Wen Huanzhang said: "The demon girl is in Jizhou in the east, and Shaohua Mountain in the west is her lair. Therefore, Xiaosheng thought that he should be supplemented by the northwest military horses and besieged Huazhou first. The northwest military horses are resting, and they must do a few months of rest and recuperation, so they can first raise troops to Huazhou and garrison near the left, one is to besiege, the other is to teach it not to dare to act rashly, and the third is to rest the military horses on the spot. In this way, you can first trap the thieves in Huazhou and teach them not to move lightly. It is quiet in the west, and the sword soldiers are not used for the time being. And with troops in the east, it is necessary to fight Jizhou Hujiazhuang first. It is the east that mobilizes troops, chasing and fighting, and is determined to exterminate this demon girl and thief. Then the east will be pacified, and the military horses in the west will also be almost rested, so they can take advantage of the leaderless thieves in Huazhou and exterminate them in one fell swoop. ”
Cai Jing and Gao Yu both bowed slightly when they heard this, and Gao Yu asked: "This strategy is perfect, but where can the military horses break through Dulonggang in the east?" Wen Huanzhang said: "In Jizhou, the last trip was a failure, just because the Liangshan military horses suddenly came to help. The use of troops on this trip must be counted even from Liangshan. ”
Cai Jing said: "Please elaborate, sir." Wen Huanzhang said: "Recently, Jin sent an envoy to the DPRK to say that Lianjin destroyed Liao, although this matter has not yet been agreed, but Xiaosheng heard in the rivers and lakes that Jin sent a Zeng family of overseas Chinese to the land of Lingzhou, set up a village, and called a Zengtou City. At this time, although the Jin State fought with the Liao State, it was not clear whether it was with us or the enemy. Xiao Sheng thought that when he could borrow a knife to kill people and provoke Zengtou City to merge with Liangshan, he could block Liangshang's road to aid Hujiazhuang, and secondly, he could quietly get rid of Jin Guobu's secret chess in Lingzhou, which would kill two birds with one stone.
