It was the first time for Gao Lian to tell his wife about the recent changes in the court, and the woman listened to it and said worriedly: "But if the head coach of Valiao is replaced by Tong Guan, isn't it dangerous for you to go into battle?" ”

Gao Lian said with a smile: "Madam, don't worry, my brother lost his position as the head coach, in exchange, my military exploits will only get greater, and there will naturally be people who have no background and want to make meritorious contributions in dangerous wars." As long as I follow the army, a considerable part of the battle will belong to me. Okay, Madame, go back to sleep, and I'll go see what's going on with the people outside. ”

Gao Lian walked out of the house, saw that the public was holding a letter that was exactly the same as his desk, and couldn't help asking, "Liangshan's letter?" ”

The public glanced at Gao Lian in surprise, presented it with both hands, and replied, "Yes, I found it on the trial table when I was cleaning the lobby just now." ”

Gao Lian took the letter, opened it and saw that the content was the same, so he waved his hand and said, "You should step back first." ”

When the public left, Gao Lian summoned the guards at the gate and said, "Did you leave your post without permission last night?" ”

The two pro-soldiers hurriedly said: "Back to the general, I didn't leave for a while." ”

Gao Lian stared at the two of them and said, "Then did you hear any movement?" ”

Except for a moment when you tossed and turned, the whole night was terriblely quiet.

Madame is still so fierce, it is useless to scold you as much as every day.

The two pro-soldiers shook their heads and said, "No." ”

When Gao Lian heard this, he couldn't help but doubt: "Haven't you ever gone to the latrine?" ”

"We just go to the latrine, and we take turns, and there are always people at the door."

When Gao Lian heard this, he couldn't help but wonder for a while, the house he lived in only had a few windows on the front, and if they had been guarding the door, how could the letter get in. The roof is more than a foot high, and even if the thief wants to climb it, there will definitely be a sound. It is possible that one of them quietly put it in while the other was leaving.

"If you think about it, you really didn't hear anything?"

The two pro-soldiers thought for a moment and said, "It's true. ”

"You weren't asleep either?"

"Nope"

Gao Lian saw that the two pro-soldiers refused to admit it, and shouted: "Then why is there more letter from Liang Shan in my house?" Come on, take them both for me. ”

The guards in the courtyard immediately rushed over and grabbed the two.

The guards at the gate hurriedly said: "My lord, we really haven't heard anything, maybe the thieves put the letter in during the day." ”

"Nonsense, there is nothing on the table before going to bed, it is more at night. I still have to deny it, drag me down, and serve the big punishment. ”

Gao Lian asked people to pull these two pro-soldiers down, which made people prepare horses.

Gao Lian arrived in the military camp, summoned the commanders, supervised the army, commanded, commanded, and commanded a number of officers in front of the tent, and saw that everyone had arrived, so he said: "Last night, the Liangshan thief Kou sent a post to the yamen, saying that he was going to fight Gaotang Prefecture. Let me ask you, my Gaotang Prefecture soldiers and horses may fight with the Liangshan thieves out of the city? ”

Yu Zhiyan, who was transferred from Tokyo by Gao Yu to assist Gao Lian, got up and said: "Don't worry, my lord, my soldiers and horses in Gaotang Prefecture have all been trained and skilled, if the Liangshan thieves dare to attack, they will definitely be able to kill them without leaving a piece of armor." ”

Most of the other generals were transferred from the Tokyo Forbidden Army, and they all echoed their words.

Gao Lian saw that the army's heart was available, and said with a smile: "Okay, if you can exterminate the Liangshan thieves, this official will definitely ask for credit for everyone." You wait for a few days and then you will be ready to fight. ”

The crowd answered.

Gao Lian watched the barracks again, and then returned to the yamen to continue to interrogate the two personal soldiers, and the matter of beheading Chai Jin was also put on hold.

However, it is said that after the Liangshan army came out of the berth, it advanced quickly along the official road, and when it passed through Dongchang Mansion, it did not encounter interception.

On the third night, he came to Gaotang Prefecture and forced the city to go down for twenty miles.

Early the next morning, Chao Gai ordered soldiers and horses to come to Gaotang Prefecture.

After the Liangshan soldiers and horses entered the boundary of Gaotang Prefecture, the exploration horses sent by Gao Lian knew that the Liangshan soldiers and horses would come to attack the city today, so Gao Lian also let people light the soldiers and horses early.

After discovering that the Liangshan army was coming towards the city, Gao Lian also led the generals out of the city to prepare to meet the enemy.

Gao Lian had 300 personal soldiers under him, all of whom were strong men selected by Gao Yu from the forbidden army.

The Gao family only became a big family after Gao Yu's career, but it is not as good as the wealthy families that have been passed down for several generations.

Gao Lian is because he knows some martial arts, and he is tall among the short people, so he is reused by Gao Yu.

Gao Lian also put on armor, hung up his sword, and went out of the city in full armor. He led his own soldiers in the middle army, and 3,000 soldiers lined up on both sides.

Waving flags and shouting, beating drums and singing gold, just waiting for the soldiers and horses of Liangshan to come. "Report, the soldiers and horses of Gaotang Prefecture have gone out of the city to line up."

The army of Liangshan was still five miles away from the city, and there was a report from the Malays.

Chao Gai said with a smile: "This Gao Lian really doesn't know whether he lives or dies, and he actually dares to go out of the city to fight." ”

Wu Yong shook the feather fan and said, "That's fine, after our army defeated the soldiers and horses of Gaotang Prefecture, we took the opportunity to rush in." Otherwise, when attacking the city, I am afraid that the casualties will be very large. ”

Chao Gai nodded and said: "What the military advisor said is that as long as Gao Lian is defeated and retreats, the whole army will cover up and enter the city. ”

Soon, the army of Liangshan came to the outside of Gaotang Prefecture.

In order to prevent the soldiers and horses of Gaotang Prefecture from taking advantage of the unstable foothold of the army and launching an attack, they used strong bows and crossbows to shoot at the position.

Gao Lian saw that the Liangshan army was in an orderly manner, and he was afraid that he would lead the army to rush and kill and rebel against his own position.

After a short time, the Liangshan army also set up a position.

The two armies greeted each other, looking at each other, and a murderous aura permeated the battlefield, making the recruits on both sides couldn't help but start trembling.

Chao Gai led the leaders to the front of the battle and restrained the horses.

Gao Lian saw that the leaders of Liangshan had come to the front of the battle, so he also led more than 30 officers, all of whom went out to the door flag, reined in their horses, pointed at Chao Gai and scolded: "You gang of traitors who don't know how to die!" How dare you come and invade my city! ”

Dong Ping and Qin Ming were both hot-tempered, and when they saw Gao Lian scolding, they both stepped forward and asked to fight.

Lin Chong hurriedly stepped forward and said: "I have a blood feud with Gao Yu, but this guy is Gao Yu's brother, so the brothers gave me this first battle, and let me vent my grievances." ”

Dong Ping and Qin Ming saw Lin Chong say this, so they had no choice but to fight their horses and retreat.

Chao Gai saw that no one was fighting, so he also said: "Then please ask Lin Jiaotou to take the lead, and make sure to play my Liangshan prestige." ”

"Order"

Lin Chong shouted, then crossed the Zhangba snake spear, jumped out of the battle, and shouted loudly: "The dog thief surnamed Gao, you wait for a thief, as long as you harm people." I, Lin Chong, were almost ruined by Gao Yu for no reason, and now you want to harm the Chai officials, it can be seen that your Gao family is all harming people and destroying thieves. Today, I will kill you, a little thief, sooner or later, and sooner or later I will kill the Jingshi, and I will break the body of your deceitful thief Gao Yu into ten thousand pieces, so that I can eliminate the hatred in my heart. Dog thief, come out quickly and die. ”
