Chapter Twenty-Eight: Governing the Four Counties and Ranking Matters The name of Jiangnan is anti-Fangla

It turned out that Sanniang laid out a ten-sided ambush plan under Shouzhangcheng, first using thunder rockets to break the Yellow River Boat Division of the official army with the Liangshan Water Army, and defeating Tong Guan's army with ten ambushes on land. After a day and a night of fighting, 90,000 officers and soldiers lost their armor and unloaded their armor, and seeing the rout of the officers and soldiers, Sanniang refused to let go, so she ordered the Liangshan army and horses to pursue everywhere.

It was the farthest Zhang Qingsuo who led the hussars, and even pursued them all the way to Jeju Mansion, killing Tong Guan so that he did not dare to enter Jeju. After the various departments chased and killed more than 100 miles, they won a complete victory, and only then did Mingjin collect the army and return, Sanniangjiao gave an order, and asked Lu Zhishen and Wu Song to guard Shouzhang County, and the rest of the military horses and generals returned to Liangshan.

The order will be given, all the military horses will return with a great victory, the saddle generals will knock on the golden stirrup, and the soldiers will sing triumphant songs together, and they will all enter Liangshanbo, and they will all return to Wanzi City together. Sanniang, Lu Junyi, Gongsun Sheng, and Huang Wenbing went to the Water Margin Village first, sat down on the Juxian Hall, and ordered Pei Xuanxuan to see everyone's merits.

Lu Junyi captured Yumei alive, untied the village, and knelt in front of the hall. After Sanniang looked at it with interest, she asked with a smile: "Are you willing to surrender to me?" Yumei secretly thought, first leave a useful body, and then try Qingshan, gritted her teeth and said: "The young general is willing to surrender." ”

Sanniang smiled and ordered the left and right to untie and treat them with wine. After three rounds of drinking, he said beautifully: "The young general is newly invested in Dazhai, and he has not made an inch, I am familiar with Uncle Zhang of Jeju at night, and I am willing to talk about it and teach him to surrender." ”

Sanniang squinted her eyes and said happily: "That's right, you go and say surrender, after success, there will be a heavy reward." "At the moment, he returned the beautiful armor, weapons, and horses, and let him go by himself. After Yumei left, Huang Wenbing said: "This person's eyes flickered, and he didn't expect that he might have surrendered sincerely. Sanniang smiled slightly: "The surrender of Hao Siwen and Peng Xi back then, presumably Zhang Shuye and Chen Xizhen have not forgotten it, this person will definitely be suspicious when he goes." Later, we will use troops in Jeju, and maybe we can use him. ”

Then all the leaders from all walks of life came to the hall one after another, killing cattle and horses on the day, and rewarding the three armies. In the battle, Yangsan took four prefectures and counties, defeated the Jeju official army and Tong Guan's 100,000 army and the Yellow River Boat Division, annihilated more than 50,000 people of the Song army, captured more than 40,000 people, and killed and wounded more than 3,000 people in Yangsan, which can be described as a complete victory.

Sanniang instructed the captured Song army to reclaim fertile land near Liangshan, select those who are strong and willing to surrender, and scatter them into various military horses, with a total of more than 10,000 soldiers to replenish, and the remaining 30,000 people are used for tuntian.

He also ordered Chai Jin, Jiang Jing, Shi Wenbin, and Cheng Wanli to govern Dongping, Wenshang, Yuncheng, and Shouzhang respectively, and sent Zhu Tong and Lei Heng to guard Yuncheng, Lu Zhishen and Wu Song to guard Shouzhang, Dong Ping and Zhang Qing to guard Dongping, and Xie Zhen and Xie Bao to guard Wenshang. The people of the four prefectures and counties were exempt from tax for one year, and after a year, Liangshan only took grain according to the eleventh tax, and in the past, business travelers and merchants in the city were all charged commercial taxes according to Liangshan's policy of making money.

He also instructed the establishment of Liangshan glass products workshops and wine-making workshops in four prefectures and counties, and at the same time opened a business name to do glass and wine-making business. Sanniang also summoned the people of four prefectures and counties to encourage businessmen, cultivate fertile land, and lightly pay for the meager endowment, plus after the White Lotus Sect practiced medicine and missionaries, many people entered the White Lotus Sect, and Sanniang and Liangshan won the hearts of the people.

Subsequently, Sanniang instructed the Liangshan Water Army to take Shouzhang as a stronghold, go out of the canal to the Yellow River waterway, cut off the Tokyo Caoyun waterway, and threaten the cities along the Song Ting Canal, so as to attract the attention of the Song Dynasty and relieve the pressure on Huazhou on the West Road.

Although Zhu Wu and Shi Jin sent letters one after another, saying that they had fought several times with the Song army on the West Road, and there were mutual victories and defeats, Sanniang knew that the elite of the Song army were all in the Western Army, and there were 100,000 military horses in Jiuhua Mountain, Huazhou, and there were brave generals such as Zhu Wuzhizhi, Shi Jin, Qin Ming, Yang Xiong, Shi Xiu, etc., and the soldiers and horses there had been compiled and trained for a long time according to the "New Book of Discipline and Effectiveness". Therefore, Sanniang must be drawn to the east and attract the attention of the Song court.

However, it was said that Zhang Shuye and Chen Xizhen were in Jeju Mansion, and they were shocked when they heard that Tong Guan's army was defeated. That night, I heard that there were military horses rushing to the city, and the two hurriedly ordered to guard the city, and when they went to the city to see, they saw that it was Tong Guan's banner, but before they could respond, Tong Guan's military horse was defeated by a Liangshan cavalry, and they did not dare to enter the city, so they did not go around the city.

The two looked at each other, and they didn't dare to open the city to answer in the dark. When it is dawn, send out sentries everywhere to listen for news. Half a day later, the retribution was that Tong Guan was defeated and led the army to retreat to Tokyo.

Uncle Zhang sighed after hearing the report at night: "I don't want the 100,000 army of Tong Shumi to be defeated, and the female thief in Liangshan has cultivated strength, so what can I do?" Chen Xizhen said: "The female thief broke through four prefectures and counties, but this time she divided her troops and stationed them and did not return to the mountains." It seems that this time she wants to take Liangshan as the foundation, and occupy the prefectures and counties everywhere, and her heart of disobedience is obvious. After the defeat of the official army this time, I am afraid that I will come to attack me here in Jeju, so I should make a plan as soon as possible. ”

While they were discussing, a small army came to report, saying that the former general Yumei had come to the city. The two of them hurriedly ordered someone to come in, and when they arrived in the hall, the two caught it, and Chen Xizhen asked, "Why is the general here?" ”

Yumei panted and told the story of the capture, and said that she was hypocritical and pretended to surrender, and finally said: "Now I have a plan, but I can earn the demon girl to come." It was the two who pretended to be moved by me, so they surrendered in the city, and I went to earn the demon girl to come to the city, and ambushed the army and horses in the city, and I will definitely be able to capture the demon girl alive in one fell swoop! ”

When Zhang Shuye and Chen Xizhen heard this, they glanced at each other, Hao Siwen and Peng Xi had made a counter-plot to make the Jeju officials and soldiers miserable, but now how can the two of them believe their plans? Uncle Zhang smiled quietly: "This is the best, discuss it carefully later, and prepare a wine feast to suppress the general's shock." "At the moment, the wine is not to be treated.

A few days later, the news came, the Liangshan water army went straight out of the canal waterway, forced into the Yellow River waterway, and plundered the Cao transport ships in the Yellow River waterway one after another.

Chen Xi was shocked when he heard the report: "The Liangshan female thief defeated the Yellow River Boat Division in this battle, and there is no opponent on the river, even Tokyo is afraid that it will be poisoned by the Liangshan Water Army, so what can I do?" Zhang Shuye sighed and said: "This is the strategy of the female thief to help the west, she wants the imperial court to mobilize the elite of the western army to come east, in order to alleviate the siege of Huazhou Bailian by the western army." ”

While he was talking, another military report arrived, saying that there was a vegetable eating demon sect thief Kou Fangla in Jiangnan who led the crowd to raise an incident, claiming to be a holy prince, Jianyuan Yongle, setting up officials and generals, distinguishing grades with turbans, and dividing them into six grades from the red scarf upwards. The thieves instigated each other, burned houses, plundered the children of gold and silk, and lured good people to join the army of thieves. In less than ten days, tens of thousands of people joined the rebel army, defeated and killed the Song general Cai Zun at Xikeng. Subsequently, he captured Qingxi, Mu and She. conquered Quzhou in the south and killed Peng Rufang, the county guard; The north swept through Xincheng, Tonglu, and Fuyang counties, and forced Hangzhou.

Zhang Shuye and Chen Xi were even more worried after they got the report, and Zhang Shuye sighed and said: "I don't want Jiangnan to be in chaos, most of the troubles there are suffering from this flower and stone gang." Now the demon girl is in the north, and the demon people in Fangla are in the south, one south and one north, which is the trend of chaos in the world. Chen Xizhen said: "At this moment, all we can do is to defend Jeju and deal with the demon girl, if Jeju is lost, I am afraid that the female thieves of Liangshan will swallow Shandong, and there will be no opponents in the left near future." Uncle Zhang said: "Now the imperial court can only temporarily abandon Huazhou, first break Liangshan, and then go south to Jiangnan to conquer Fangla." ”

said that it was still not over, Yumei came to see again, and said that the policy of pretending to surrender, Zhang Shuye and Chen Xizhen naturally refused to believe it, but Yumei was the former general of the Tokyo Imperial Palace, and it was not easy to deal with it, so they had to send someone to escort them back to Beijing.

Seeing that the two didn't believe it, Yumei had to pack her bags, and when she was about to go back to Tokyo, she heard a warning from the city, and it turned out that the Yangsan military horses had come to attack Jeju again.

It turned out that Sanniang rested in Yangsan for a few days, and after arranging everything, he took advantage of the power of the great victory to order the army and horses to attack Jeju.

Zhang Shuye and Chen Xizhen were shocked when they heard the news, and immediately ordered the soldiers to defend the city and sent a messenger to Tokyo for help. When the two came to the head of the city to see, they saw tens of thousands of Liangshan military horses, besieging the city on all sides, the army was strong and strong, and the joint camp outside the city was several miles, and the army was terrifying.

Chen Xi Zhen said: "The demon girl is used to using fine work, there must be her fine work in the city, and often send carrier pigeons to each other to transmit news, you must first send soldiers, the carrier pigeons and birds in the city are all culled, in the use of good shooting, guard the surrounding high places, but see the carrier pigeon flying, then shoot and kill, cut off the news, can be guarded for a long time." Uncle Zhang immediately ordered someone to handle it.

While talking, Yumei also went to the city to see the situation of the Liangshan army, Chen Xizhen suddenly moved: "The general planned before, maybe you can try, now that the Liangshan army and horses are here, why don't you ask the general to go out of the city to discuss with the female thief, and when she enters the city, she can be captured, as long as the female thief goes, I think the siege of Jeju will be resolved." ”

Yumei was overjoyed, immediately agreed, and went to prepare, and then went down to the city and went to the camp of Liangshan. After Yumei left, Uncle Zhang said at night: "What if this person is going back against the grain?" Chen Xizhen said with a smile: "When he comes back this time, listen to his arrangement first, if the female thief really colludes with Yumei to make a counterplot, then I will plan it later." ”

Later, when she returned, she consulted with the two and said, "The thief heard my words, and believed me, so she opened the north gate tomorrow, and she led a thousand horses into the city to be surrendered, and we could capture her in the city." ”

Chen Xizhen sneered when he heard this: "The general really made a counter-plan, thinking that the demon girl is as cunning as a fox, how can he be willing to lead a thousand military horses into the city?" It must be to take advantage of me to open the north gate and take the opportunity to rob my city gate! Take him down left and right! A group of sergeants stepped forward to take Yumei down, and Yumei shouted out for injustice, but the two did not listen and only ordered Yumei to be imprisoned first.

Then Chen Xi really said: "She is there to make a counter-plan, agreed to enter the city tomorrow, tonight the guards in the camp outside the city must be lax, I see that she has a joint camp there for several miles, tonight the wind is high, you can lead the army and horses, prepare more things to ignite the fire, go out of the city to attack the camp, and come back to burn the company camp." ”

Uncle Zhang was overjoyed at night, and after the two discussed, they made preparations, and when night fell, they went out of the city to attack the camp. (To be continued.) )
