Chapter 18 Siege of Troubled Soldiers

Liang Xuancheng's high pavilion is backed by the mountain and the water, the back of the house lies on the rockery, under the verandah by the eaves, it is a blue wave, the pool water is clear, and the swimming fish come and go leisurely.

The beautiful woman in front of the carved wooden pillar was not half leisurely, but her eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, her sandalwood mouth was biting her teeth, her fist was holding the cedar belt, and her eyes were looking at the surface of the pool steadily, her eyes were blurred and tangled.

"Lian'er, it's done, let's go." Wu Song's voice came from behind her, and he had come out of the room and hugged her softly from behind.

Zheng Xiulian was startled, woke up from her contemplation, her delicate body couldn't help but tremble, but her jade hand almost subconsciously broke Wu Song, retreated a few steps, and stopped with her back against the carved wooden pillar, but her eyes didn't dare to look at Wu Song, and asked incorrectly,

"Uncle scared the slave to death, huh...... Okay, what about Liang Xuancheng, uncle don't be impulsive. Zheng Xiulian's tone was a little flustered.

"Lian'er, don't worry, I didn't take the life of the surnamed Liang." However, he secretly said in his heart, "I guess he wishes someone would do this now, hehe." ā€

"Then I'll be relieved." Zheng Xiulian glanced at Wu Song with complicated eyes, and continued, "Uncle, since that's the case, let's go." ā€

"Okay." Wu Song took her jade hand.

The two left Liu's mansion, and while running wildly along the way, Wu Song secretly thought that if Liu Che was caught by the stone, he would be able to surrender without a fight, and if this old boy escaped, a bloody battle would be inevitable.

Thinking like this, he asked Zheng Xiulian to leave first, and went to meet with the leaders of the Bamboo Union Gang by himself, Xiulian didn't bother him, told him to pay attention to his safety, withdrew his jade hand, and turned around to leave.

When the beauty left, the eyebrows seemed to be sad, the pretty eyes were starry, the meaning of care was inadvertently revealed, and the silk-like smooth tender skin was covered by a crane coat without a neck on the delicate body, covering the spring light that was torn by Liang Xuancheng, but the snow-white neck that was as delicate as jade was also exciting.

Especially the reluctance in her eyes, combined with her unique subtle and temperament, that man will not be hooked off his soul when he is looked at a few times.

Wu Song saw her gentle appearance before parting, where could he bear it, moved forward, picked off his sister-in-law Xiulian's red lips, and waited for the beauty to react, after a few words, he hurriedly pushed him away, and ran away with a three-inch golden lotus, plump and enchanting, and her face was flushed.

Wu Song smiled evilly, and also turned around and ran towards the place where the Bamboo Union Gang was fighting with the official army.

He didn't notice that when Zheng Xiulian ran around the corner of Liu's Mansion, her steps slowed down, she turned her head, looked at Wu Song with a complicated expression, her beautiful eyes gradually became gloomy, and Tankou muttered, "Why are you and I uncles and sisters-in-law, is it the will of God?" ā€

Qiong's nose was sour, and she couldn't help but shed tears, but she quickly held back, she turned her delicate body, in case she was seen by Wu Song, according to the temper of this bad uncle, she would have to worry about herself again.

But she remembered the warmth that Wu Song had just rushed into the room and hugged herself into her arms, her heart fluttered slightly, and she sighed slightly, "It's good to just ask him not to do anything, alas, there are many good women around him, maybe ...... Maybe he'll forget about me soon. ā€

After that, he turned around and ran to the Wujia house on Zishi Street, now the outside box army is frequently mobilized, the torches come and go inside and outside Huazhou City, and the doors of the houses are closed.

In these years, there is not much difference between the official army and the thieves.

During this time, Wu Song ran along the familiar streets of Huazhou to the fighting place not far from Liu's mansion, and the Bamboo Union Gang seemed to have fought with the guards of the Xiang Army.

The sound of the battle was getting closer and closer, and Wu Song had already drawn out the Longquan Treasure Knife, ready to make it full of blood.

In front of the eye, there is a raging fire, several wooden houses in the open space have been burned by the flames, the open space is clearly illuminated by everyone, there are many corpses lying on the ground, weapons are scattered, torches are everywhere, what makes Wu Song relieved is that most of them are wearing official uniforms.

After all, there were only more than seven or eight hundred Xiang troops guarding the Huazhou Prison, accounting for less than a quarter of the total Xiang Army in Huazhou. There are more than 5,000 people in the Huazhou Xiang Army, standing in Liufu and Huazhou Prison 1,000, and the rest are divided into four camps, two battalions are in the city, and two battalions are stationed next to the moat outside the city.

Zhang Qing, the rear of the Bamboo Union Gang Brigade, was the first to discover Wu Song, when he taught Jiang Menshen, he was admired by him, not to mention that now Erniang has Wu Song's blood and bones, he can be described as Wu Song's veritable brother-in-law, seeing him come, he is naturally overjoyed.

"Brother Wu, you are here, Fang Cai Natoutuo has already captured Liu Che, and these bird officers and soldiers have no strength, and they have almost escaped after a few moments of fighting, and many brothers have not yet made a move."

Zhang Qing said a series of good news like a magpie, and his tone was full of disdain for Xiang Jun.

Wu Song didn't expect that these van troops would be so unbeaten.

In fact, this is normal, in the Northern Song Dynasty in history, hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops could not hold Kyoto Bianjing, not to mention these remaining box troops picked by the forbidden army, the heroes of the Bamboo Union Gang at least have some ferocity licking blood on the knife edge, these box troops who don't know bows and crossbows, where is the opponent.

"Brother Zhang, I will call you brother-in-law in the future, you take me to see Zhu Wu and Brother Chen Da first." Wu Song's tone was kind, and the relationship between the two was brought closer.

Zhang Qing was also coaxed happy by this "brother-in-law", and led Wu Song to meet Chen Da and others.

They happened to look at these gradually defeated van troops for a long time, and when they saw Wu Song, they hurriedly bowed and saluted, Zhu Wudao, "Brother Wu, you are back, Brother Shi came back one step ahead of you, and brought back the dog official Liu Che."

Chen Da, who was holding a long knife, rushed to say, "Brother, these van troops are not beaten, I don't think I can repel the officers and soldiers without the need to catch the dog officer." ā€

The leader of the Bamboo Union Gang is Wang Jin, but everyone knows that Wu Song is the boss behind the scenes.

After listening to the words of the two, Wu Song's heart relaxed slightly, but he served as the commander of Huazhou, so he naturally had some understanding of Huazhou's military affairs, and said with a smile, "The brothers are brave and martial, naturally not comparable to these wine bag officers and soldiers, but I also advise everyone not to take it lightly." ā€

His gaze turned to the right side of Liu's Mansion at the same time.

Everyone followed his gaze and saw dense torches in the distance, rushing to this side, and there was still a faint floating fire outside the city, thinking that there were also officials and soldiers dispatched there.

"Huazhou has a total of five thousand Xiang army guards, just now with us grinding off seven or eight hundred, the two thousand Xiang army in the city will arrive in a moment, although the Xiang army outside the city is a little time-consuming, I want to move not too slowly, that is, there are four thousand Xiang army to this side."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces changed, thinking that Zhu Wu, Chen Da and others were in Shaohua Mountain, and there were only more than 1,000 officers and soldiers encountered, and there was also the terrain of Shaohua Mountain to rely on.

With 4,000 officers and soldiers, confronting them is simply a dead end.

Zhu Wu was nicknamed the Divine Machine Military Master, and although he frowned, he still calmly said, "Helper, our top priority now is to find a place to escape. ā€

"What Brother Zhu said is reasonable, now there is a fire at the east gate, and there must be no one at the north gate, as long as you escape, the officials and soldiers will not dare to chase after you." Lin Chong also built yƬ road in the same way.

Outside the north gate of Huazhou City, there is a large area of barren forest, when Wu Song assassinated Ximen Qing and was chased and killed by the officials and soldiers of Liu Fu, he also fled to the north gate.

"Run? Two eldest brothers, now we have Liu Che, the governor and the pacification envoy of the state, and which military attache who is not long-sighted dares to do it. Everyone obeyed my orders and withdrew into Liu's Mansion first. ā€

After Wu Song gave this order, he said to the stone holding Liu Che in his hand, "Stone, you come with me, we may have to wronged Lord Liu, hehe." ā€

Zhu Wu and the others were puzzled, but Lin Chong, who had been the head of the forbidden army, was surprised, and explained to Zhu Wu and others, "Everyone doesn't know, although Liu Che is a civilian official, he is the pacification envoy of Huazhou, and the envoy has the right to transfer troops in Huazhou, without him, those generals have no power to command at all." ā€

This is the case with the military system of the Northern Song Dynasty, where civilian officials are in charge, but military generals support troops but cannot be transferred, and they must always be ready to be transferred to other places, so the chaotic logic of "soldiers do not know generals, generals do not know soldiers" is the norm at this time.

All the heroes are reckless people, although they seem to understand whether they understand or not, but seeing that the gang leader and the powerful Lin sect leader have such confidence, they all agree.

Soon, hundreds of people and horses of the Bamboo Union Gang withdrew into Liu's Mansion.

At the same time, the brigade of the Xiang army inside and outside the city has been united, they got the news from the fleeing Xiang army, a large number of people known as the Zhulian gang rushed into the Huazhou prison, the feon Wu Song escaped, Liu Fu fell into the hands of thieves, Liu Zhizhou's whereabouts are unknown.

Nearly 4,000 troops marched to Chongde Street, not far from the east gate, and then stopped. At the front of the team was a middle-aged man dressed in a scarlet official uniform and wearing a Dongpo hat, and there were several heavily armored generals beside him, frightened, contemplative, and each with his own expression.

"Wang Tingshi, Liu Zhizhou is in danger, why haven't you given the order yet, now the thieves have just fought fiercely with the prison guards, they must be tired, and this is the fighter."

A military general with an iron spear in his hand asked Na Wenhan loudly.

It turns out that Wenhan is the history of Huazhou Thorn, the surname Wang is a single name, and the official rank is the same as Liu Che, but it is only a fictitious position, if you talk about the size of power, it is not as good as Li Tongju under Liu Che.

Wang Hong glanced at the military generals who spoke out, disgust flashed in his eyes unconsciously, but he covered it up for a moment, and said in a calm tone, "General Lin, you must know that I don't have the power to transfer troops, if it is known that I have privately transferred troops and horses, I will inevitably be impeached." ā€

"Wang Tingshi, the matter is urgent, if something happens to Lord Liu Che and the thief escapes from Huazhou, we will not have any good fruit to eat." The military general surnamed Lin did not let go in the slightest, and his straightforward temper was not like a person in the officialdom, but a little straightforward in the green forest.

If Wang Hong had a knife in his hand at this time, he would definitely chop up the military general surnamed Lin in front of him and feed it to the dog, what is "I wait", the protection of Zhizhou is not effective, at most you generals are unlucky, I am only responsible for supervision, if you don't "invite" me out, I won't be too lazy to wade into this troubled water.
