Chapter 0172: Fierce Battle against Su Chang (4)
Out of the big tent of the Chinese army, Zhu Biao saw four big men standing next to the Tong brothers, led by a red beard and yellow hair, with a green silk jacket; the second was long and slender with short hair, wearing a black-and-green disc-collared kapok shirt; the third has a long beard with a black face; The fourth one had a broad beard with a broad cheek face, both of which were generally dressed in collared green jackets, with felt hats on their heads, and weapons on their sides, some with waist knives and some with steel forks.

There is no need to ask Zhu Biao to know that the Tong brothers should be followed by the red bearded dragon Fei Bao, the curly-haired tiger Ni Yun, the Taihu Jiao Buqing and the thin-faced Xiong Di Cheng, but they couldn't get the number, so they asked: "Dare to ask the names of the four heroes." ”
The red-haired and yellow-bearded man arched his hands and said, "My name is Fei Bao, and my friends in the rivers and lakes call me a red-bearded dragon." ”
The slender and short-haired man patted his chest and said, "The curly-haired tiger Ni Yun is me." ”
The man with the long beard bowed slightly, and said concisely and neatly: "Taihu Jiao Buqing." ”
The man with a bony face and a wide beard twisted his beard lightly with a smile on his face, and said, "Little brother, thin-faced Xiong Dicheng." ”
Zhu Biao bowed to them and said, "I have seen four heroes below, and I am waiting to meet here today, which is also the fate between us." ”
Fei Bao said: "I have been looking up to the leader for a long time, and we can see the dignity today, our brothers are very happy. ”
"Okay," Zhu Biao asked, "Dare to ask a few heroes if they know what they are doing when they invite you here?" ”
Fei Bao said: "The two brothers Tong Wei and Tong Meng have already told Zaixia, so the junior brothers have brought more than 1,000 large and small ships this time, and they will be called by the leader at any time." ”
Du Yan has always had questions about the defection of these four heroes - why didn't the four of them defect to Fang La? Now seeing that they can raise so many ships, the doubts in my heart are even more even worse - seeing that these four people are also heroes who call for wind and rain, didn't Fang La think about entrapping them? However, it was not easy for him to ask these questions directly, so he asked: "Dare to ask the four heroes, you have helped my Liangshan army so much, and my whole army is very grateful, but if my Liangshan army is defeated, won't it affect all the heroes?" ”
Obviously, Du Biao has something to say, and Zhu Biao heard it. Zhu Biao glanced at Du Biao and said, "Brother Du, how can you talk like this, now that Hangzhou, the important town of Fangla, has been captured by our army, and Suzhou has been besieged by our army, Fangla's good times will not last long." ”
Fei Bao is also an old man, how can he not hear the meaning of Du Yan's words, so he smiled coldly and said: "At the beginning, Fang Lan also came to Yuliuzhuang and invited our brothers to join his Mingjiao, but he has four naval commanders, known as the 'Zhejiang Four Dragons', these four people have a common enmity with our brothers, and our brothers have made it clear to him that with them, there will be no our brothers, and there will be no brothers with us, but Fang La saw that the four of them were strong, so he never came to our Yuliuzhuang again." But I don't want to, when Fang La's military horses conquered Hangzhou, the 'Zhejiang Four Snakes' even brought troops to conquer us (Fei Bao deliberately said that the four dragons of Jiangnan were the four snakes of Jiangnan to show contempt), so if our brothers want to avoid trouble, only by assisting the leader Zhu and defeating Fang La, can we be safe for a long time. Speaking of this, Fei Bao sighed slightly and arched his hand: "Then our brother will leave first!" With that, he led the other three heroes to turn around and leave.
Zhu Biao hurriedly said: "Why should the four of you be angry for a word that is not tight? After that, he grabbed Fei Bao's hand and said with a smile: "Let's go, go to the tent first to have a few glasses of wine, and then talk about how to exterminate Fang La and how to attack Suzhou." ”
Fei Bao said: "I wish the leader good intentions, our brothers have a heart, this wine does not need to be eaten, this attack on Suzhou, our brothers will go all out to assist the leader." Now that the ship is ready, please Zhu Biao's leader immediately order the sergeants under his command to get on the ship, and then go to Yuliuzhuang first, and then set off tonight to try to take Changzhou in a battle. ”
Zhu Biao heard that since they had said everything about this, he was no longer good at what to say, and at that moment, he ordered all the remaining military horses that did not pedal the boat to get on the boat brought by Fei Bao and the other four, and then went straight to Yuliuzhuang.
Everything went as Zhu Biao expected, Fang La did not expect that Liang Shanjun would be able to resist his attack last time, nor did he expect to counterattack his Changzhou the next day, and what Fang La did not expect was that Liang Shanjun also took the road of Taihu Lake.
Although there were some military horses in the city of Changzhou, they were defenseless, and the Liangshan army pretended to be the Fang La army that had retreated from the Liangshan military camp, and first coaxed open the city gate, and then the army rushed in. Qian Zhenpeng, the commander of Changzhou, was cut in two by Guan Sheng in front of the yamen of Changzhou Mansion, Xu Ding was opened a skylight in his chest by Lin Chong's Zhangba snake spear, and another general named Jin Jie led the remnants of Changzhou to surrender to the Liangshan army.
And just when Zhu Biao received the good news that the Liangshan army had captured Changzhou, and at the same time received another piece of news that disturbed him, the imperial court sent a commander, called Liu Yanqing, to lead 50,000 officers and troops south and stationed in Yangzhou, an important town in Jiangbei. Wang Yu is in Jiangzhou, Liu Yanqing is in Yangzhou, one east and one west, and they have the posture of attacking the Liangshan army.
For Liu Yanqing, Zhu Biao still knows a little bit, Liu Yanqing, a security soldier. The world is a general, heroic and brave, several from the Western Expedition, meritorious service, Jiguan to Xiangzhou Observation Envoy, Long Shenwei Commander Envoy, and Yan Yan Road Governor. It can be seen from this that Liu Yanqing is Tong Guan's henchman, because he has conquered Western Xia, so the military horses he commands are all Western troops who can conquer and are accustomed to fighting.
Zhu Biao is not afraid of the 50,000 official army, but because the location of Yangzhou is now very important to Liangshan. Now the Liangshan army has captured Hangzhou, Xiuzhou, Huzhou, and Changzhou along the Grand Canal, the main north-south transportation route, and Jinling and Runzhou are just around the corner, while Yangzhou is stuck at the intersection of the Yangtze River and the canal. At the beginning, it was the Liangshan army that captured Yanzhou, which cut off the transportation channel for the imperial court to transport the wealth of Jiangnan to the north; And now the official army occupies Yangzhou, which is to cut off the connection between Jiangnan and Liangshan. How can Zhu Biao tolerate this? But now Liang Shanjun can't turn his face with the imperial court. Marching and fighting is naturally Yue Fei's strength, but if he is scheming, then he is not good at it.
At this time, Zhu Biao thought of Gongsun Sheng. At that moment, he asked Dai Zong to immediately bring his letter back to Liangshan, so that Gongsun Sheng wanted to drive away this official army, but he could not meet with the imperial court swordsmen.
On the same day, Dai Zong carried Zhu Biao's letter, started to do the magic method, and went straight to Liangshanbo. (To be continued.) )
