The next day, Sanniang ordered the general in Juxian Hall, discussed sending troops to the Daimyo's Mansion, met with Lin Chong and Huang Wenbing, and continued the attack.

After all the leaders sat down, Sanniang said: "Now that the Lingzhou official army and the reinforcements of Zengtou City have been defeated, and the siege of Liangshan Shuibo has been resolved, I intend to raise troops to go to the Daimyo Mansion again, and join Senior Brother Lin and Huang Junshi, who are still in the Daimyo's Mansion, to capture the Daimyo's Mansion." ”

Gongsun Sheng got up and admonished: "The army was raised in the Daimyo Mansion before, only because Lu Yuan fell there. Now that Lu Yuanwai has been rescued, the army has been transferred to many places within two months, the soldiers are tired, and the food and grass are wasted, so it is better to order the head of the Lin Jiao and the Huang Army Division to retreat. ”

Sanniang said: "What Mr. said is reasonable, but this trip to the Daimyo Mansion is the first time that my Liangshan has attacked the capital of the road, and if it cannot be conquered, it will hurt morale." In addition, if we wait for the collection of troops, the officers and troops will calmly transfer troops to encircle and suppress our Liangshan, and we must conquer the Daimyo's Mansion and disrupt the deployment of the officers and troops. In the end, what is more important is that as Song Tingxiao showed, my Liangshan has the force to conquer the Jiancheng County, and teach him not to underestimate my Liangshan. ”

Seeing that Sanniang insisted on using soldiers, all the leaders said yes. At the moment, Sanniang pointed to the generals and ordered the Eighth Route Army horses: the first team, the double whip Hu Yanzhuo led Han Tao and Peng Xi, all of whom were horse troops. The second team, Dadao Guan Shengyin, Xuanzan and Hao Siwen, are all Ma Jun. In the third team, the golden gunner Xu Ning led Li Zhong and Zhou Tong, both of whom were Ma Jun. In the fourth team, Zhang Qing led Gong Wang and Ding Desun, all of whom were Ma Jun. The fifth team, however, was transferred to the leader of the infantry army, Zhu Tong, who was the bearded prince, and would lead Du Qian and Song Wan. The sixth team, the leader of the infantry army, Black Whirlwind Li Kui, will lead Jiao Ting and Bao Xu. The seventh team, the leader of the infantry army, will lead Shi Yong and Li Yun. The eighth team, the leader of the infantry army, Fan Rui, the demon king of the mixed world, will lead Xiang Chong and Li Gon. The Chinese army Yizhang Qinghu Sanniang, Jade Qilin Lu Junyi led Yanqing, Lu Fang, Guo Sheng, and the rear army double-speared Dong Ping to lead Kong Ming and Kong Liang to escort grain and grass, and a total of 20,000 Ma Bu troops were ordered to march into the Daimyo's mansion. Liangshan still asked Gongsun Sheng, Lu Zhishen, Wu Song and other leaders to stay behind.

Sanniang led the army to leave Liangshan the next day, looking at the Daimyo Mansion to come, the prefectures and counties passed, and there was no incursion, and the left near the official army heard that the Liangshan army and horses broke through Lingzhou and Dongping, Dongchang two mansions and three military horses, all of them were frightened, and when they heard that the Liangshan army was crossing, they were all closed doors to cover, guarding the city, and did not dare to come out to intercept.

Within a day, Sanniang led the military horse to the city of the Daimyo's Mansion, Huang Wenbing, Lin Chong and other generals caught it, and after the military horse was docked, Sanniang was promoted to the account in the Chinese military tent.

After they all sat down, Huang Wenbing said: "Since the lord raised the troops and returned to the division, the Daimyo's Mansion has never sent anyone to discuss the withdrawal of the army. Sanniang smiled when she heard this: "This is natural, Liang Zhongshu thought that if there are reinforcements to rescue, you don't have to pay attention to me." ”

Huang Wenbing continued: "In the days when the lord returned to the division, I have arranged for several leaders to sneak into the city to ambush, just waiting for the outside to drive troops into the army, and the inside and outside should be combined, and they can be broken. ”

Sanniang said: "This plan is wonderful! Then he asked the military advisor to send it down. Huang Wenbing said: "The most important thing for the head is to set fire to the city. There is a building in the city, called Cuiyun Tower; Upstairs and downstairs, there are a hundred and ten pavilions in size. Seeing that Zhao Guan's birthday is approaching, it will inevitably be noisy. He sneaked into the city, just waiting for the order of the military horses outside the city, and then went to the Cuiyun Tower to set fire to the signal, so that he could mobilize the city to work carefully, attack the city gate, and join forces with the outside to attack the Daimyo's mansion. ”

Sanniang bowed her head and said: "When you moved into the Daimyo's Mansion, and those leaders entered the city to ambush?" ”

Huang Wenbing continued: "In addition, he also transferred treasures and treasures, pretended to be hunters, and went to the official mansions in Beijing to offer wild meat. The two of them only saw the fire as a signal, so they went to stay in front of the division and intercepted the officers and soldiers who reported the incident. When the trumpet was on fire, he came to seize the east gate first. transferred Wang Ying and Zheng Tianshou again, pretended to be servants, and went to rest under the eaves in the downtown area of Beijing. Then transfer Sun Li and Li Ying, pretend to be guests, go to rest outside the east gate of Beijing, only to see that when the fire in the city starts, first behead the sergeant of the gate, take the east gate, so as to make a way. He also transferred Zou Yuan and Zou Run, pretending to be lamp sellers, and went straight to the city of Beijing, looking for a guest store to rest, only to see the fire in the building, so he went to the south gate to intercept the army and hit the road. He also transferred Liu Tang and Mu Hong, pretending to be public officials, and went straight to Beijing Prefecture to rest in front of the Ya, only to see that when the number was on fire, he went to intercept a person who should report the incident, so that he could not be saved. Zhang Qing, Sun Erniang, Sun Xin, and Gu's sister-in-law, pretending to be two village couples, entered the city to buy and sell, and found the city to set fire. The leaders who infiltrated the city have all been allocated, and they can only use the plan when the lord's army arrives. I heard that three days later, it is the birthday of Zhao Guan's family, and every year on this day, the Daimyo's Mansion will hold a lantern festival to celebrate, so it is best to take advantage of the chaos when there are many people on that day. ”

After the discussion was made at the moment, Sanniang and Huang Wenbing allocated troops and horses to prepare separately.

On this day, seeing that the birthday of Emperor Daojun was approaching, Liang Zhongshu in Beijing summoned Li Cheng, Wen Da, Wang Taishou and other officials to discuss the matter of putting lights on his birthday. Liang Zhongshu said: "The annual Beijing is full of lights, celebrating the birthday of the official family, and having fun with the people, which is exactly like the Tokyo style; Now that the Liangshan thieves have invaded the territory twice, they are only afraid of causing trouble by putting the lamp, and the lower officials want to stop and put the lights, how do you plan in your hearts? ”

Wen Da said: "Thinking of this thief, retreat subtly, and post the notice indiscriminately, this is a plan to be poor, and there will be no idea, so why worry about it." If you don't put the lights on this year, these guys will be laughed at by him if they find out carefully. You can pass down the decree and tell the residents: set up more lanterns than the previous year, add a social fire, add two Ao Mountains in the center of the city, according to the style of Tokyo, all night long, 13 to 17, put the lights on for five nights. The Diocese Yin looked at the residents, did not order the shortage, and the prince personally celebrated the spring, and must have fun with the people. Wen personally led a military horse to patrol outside the city, and Li Dujian personally led the iron cavalry army to patrol around the city, so as not to alarm the residents. Liang Zhongshu said that he was overjoyed. The officials have decided to discuss it, and then the list is released and the residents are informed.

This Beijing Daimyo Mansion is the first big county in Hebei, and it is a place to go. But there are all kinds of buying and selling, and the clouds and fog gather. After the siege of the city by the Liangshan army and horses, when Sanniang returned to the division, Huang Wenbing and Lin Chong retreated for 30 miles to go down to the village, so although the inside and outside of the city were tightly checked, the city gate was not closed.

At this moment, I heard that I wanted to celebrate the birthday of the official family, and held a lantern festival. The rich and wealthy families each went to race lanterns. Those who are far away will buy it for three or two hundred miles, and those who are near will be more than one hundred and ten miles away. There are merchants who sell lamps to the city every year. Set up a lantern fence in front of the house, and hang the lamp in the race, and skillfully fireworks; The indoor shed is tied up, five-color screens and cannon lamps are placed, celebrity calligraphy and paintings are hung on all sides, and strange antique toys; In the streets and alleys of the city, every house has to be lit up.

The Daimyo's Mansion stayed at the side of the Sizhou Bridge, erected an Ao Mountain, on which there were two red and yellow paper dragons, a lamp was lit on each scale armor, and the mouth was sprayed with clean water. Go up and down around the state bridge Hanoi and light countless lights. In front of the Bronze Buddha Temple, there is a Ao Mountain, a green dragon is coiled on it, and there are thousands of lanterns in Zhouhui. There is also a mountain in front of Cuiyun Tower, on which there is a white dragon, and there are countless lights on all sides.

It turns out that this restaurant is famous in Hebei and is the first. There are three eaves dripping water, carved beams and embroidered columns, and it is very well built. Upstairs and downstairs, there are 100 pavilions, and the drums are noisy at all, and the daily sheng songs are deaf. In the temples and temples and Buddhist halls in the city, lights are set up to celebrate the harvest year. Three tiles and two rounds, not to mention.

Looking at the birthday of Huizong, Liang Zhongshu ordered the big sword Wenda to lead the army and horses out of the city, and patrolled outside the city to prevent thieves. On the 14th, Li Cheng, the king of Li Tian, was ordered to lead an iron cavalry army of 500 horses, all dressed in clothes, and patrol around the city.

The next day, it was the birthday of Emperor Daojun, and it was a good day. At dusk and on the moon, the six streets and three cities, everywhere are in the corners and alleys, lighting lanterns, and there are social fires in the streets and alleys. It was Cai Fu at the night festival level, and his godbrother Cai Qing said: "The flying pigeon outside the city will pass the book, and I will start tonight." ”

When he entered the house, he saw two people coming in, and when he looked under the light, Cai Fu recognized Liu Tang and Mu Hong. Cai Jiejie didn't recognize the two, Liu Tang said the code token right, Cai Fu and Cai Qing were overjoyed, so they invited them inside, made cups and plates, and then took care of them.

Liu Tang said: "You don't have to give wine. I want to do it tonight, and ask the two brothers in the city to hide their blades and listen to my two orders. "Cai Fu and Cai Qing responded. After a while, all the people gathered, and there were always one or two hundred people, all of whom hid in the houses near the left, and only waited for the time to move and set fire.

Around the beginning of the shift, Sun Xin, Gu sister-in-law, Zhang Qing, Sun Erniang, two couples in the village, Qiao Qiao painted, dressed as a villager, and entered the east gate next to the crowd. Zou Yuan and Zou Run, carrying lamps, walked around the city. It turned out that Liang Zhongshu only lived on Dongmenli Street. Sun Li and Li Ying, each carrying water and fire sticks, had their own hidden weapons around them, and sat down on both sides of the Laizhou Bridge. Wang Ying and Zheng Tianshou ambushed in a quiet place. It's all right.

When it doesn't move, the upstairs drum beats the second watch. But he said that Shi Qian was carrying a basket, which was full of sulfur and flame nitrate, and a few geese were inserted in the basket and stepped into the Cuiyun Tower. When I went upstairs, I saw that in the pavilion, I was playing the flute, moving the drum board, stirring the clouds and making a fuss, and the children were making a fuss, all of which were playing upstairs to reward the lanterns.

When I moved upstairs, I only bought goose and went to see it in the pavilion everywhere. Bumped into Jian Zhen and Xie Bao dragged a steel fork, and a rabbit hung on the fork, stepping in front of the pavilion. Shi Qian said: "It's more time, why can't you see movement outside?" Xie Zhen said: "The two of us were just in front of the building, and when I saw the horses coming, the soldiers and horses arrived, and you just took care of it." Before he could say anything, he saw that the front of the building was shouting and said, "Liangshanbo military horses have arrived outside the west gate." Xie Zhen paid the time move: "You go quickly, and I will answer before I go to stay in front of the division." ”

Running to the front of the left-behind division, I saw the defeated and disabled military horses, and they rushed into the city together, saying: "Hearing the big knife and eating the thief Kou military horse raided, I returned to the city in defeat!" Liangshan was a thief and led the army to the city. Li Cheng was patrolling the city, and when he heard it, Pegasus came to the front of the Left-behind Division, taught some soldiers, and closed the city gate to protect the state. (To be continued.) )
