Chapter 35: Coming from the Nest

After finding out that the soldiers and horses of Yangsan had left, Huang Ancai, the training envoy of the Jeju regiment, led the officers and soldiers of the third battalion to come in a hurry, and after swooping down in the town of Yamaguchi, he pretended to lead the troops to chase after the water, and then returned to Jeju with the soldiers and horses.

The previous governor of Jeju had been delayed for several months and had already been transferred elsewhere after his term of office expired.

After the official went up and down, most of the responsibility of the Liangshan thief Kou Xiaoju was pushed to Huayin County, and he was replaced by a richer state capital to become an official.

The new governor of Jeju was not fully familiar with the affairs of the state, and he did not know about the defeat of Huang An in the previous time, so he heard that Huang An did not catch up with the thieves, so he ordered Huang An to send troops to eliminate the bandits in Yangsan.

After the defeat of the last army, Huang An heard that Liangshan Qiangren distributed money and food outside the water and recruited troops, which was also a big headache.

His term of office has just begun, and it is obvious that he cannot delay until the end of his term like his predecessor.

The style of the strongman in Liangshan is also intended to be entrenched in Liangshan for a long time.

He didn't dare to take any chances, lest the Liangshan strongmen make trouble out of control, and he would bear the brunt of the attack, so he also practiced soldiers and horses every day, preparing to arrest the Liangshan thieves again.

Although the soldiers and horses were still not well trained, Huang An was also afraid that after the Liangshan thieves obtained the money and food from Yamaguchi Town, they would recruit more outlaws.

Therefore, Huang An did not delay any longer, but only told Zhizhou that the Liangshan thief Kou Xiao had gathered thousands of people, and to conquer it, he had to gather all the soldiers and horses in the state to succeed.

When the new Jeju governor heard this, he was also shocked, how dare he let the Liangshan thieves sit down again, and immediately took the documents and asked the forbidden troops of the three counties of Yuncheng, Rencheng, and Jinxiang to go to Yuncheng County to meet and listen to General Huang An's orders.

Huang An got these many soldiers and horses, but he was also much braver, and immediately went to prepare for the expedition.

Let's talk about the other side.

On this trip to Yamaguchi Town, because of the need to guard against Jeju officers and soldiers, the soldiers and horses of Yangsan did not carry heavy grain and grass, but only took valuable soft goods.

The speed of the boat on the return trip did not slow down, but by the time we arrived at the golden beach, it was already afternoon.

Zhu Wu and Yang Chun got the news early and took people to greet them on the golden beach.

When the boat docked, Shi Jin stepped off the boat, and Chen Da shouted later: "After taking the boat for half a day, I am hungry and panicked, can I prepare wine and meat on the mountain?" ”

In the past, there was a meal in the morning and evening, and everyone was not hungry.

But after getting used to three meals a day, by noon, my stomach was growling.

On the way, I don't know how many people pressed their stomachs.

Zhu Wu said with a smile: "After the fast boat that reported the news came back, I asked the Huotou Army to prepare wine and meat, just waiting for everyone to come back and eat." ”

Shi Jin also felt hungry in his stomach, and waved his hand: "Give the things to the people of the Qian and Liang Division, everyone will go up the mountain to eat and drink, and rest for a day tomorrow." ”

"Okay."

"Okay."

When the people heard this, they could rest for a day, and they immediately cheered.

Although it is possible to sleep on the ship, many people are not used to spending the night on the ship and do not have a good rest.

For some playful minions, how can they be happy to share the money today and go to Dongshan to play tomorrow?

When everyone went up to Dazhai, it was already fragrant with wine and meat.

Before the banquet was dispersed, the Money and Grain Division counted the harvest this time, and all the money and goods were worth more than 100,000 yuan.

Shi Jin asked the Money and Grain Division to take 30% out to help the poor, 40% into the warehouse, and everyone divided into 30%, each minions who went down the mountain could be divided into more than 20 guan, and those who did not go down the mountain could be divided into 16 guan.

The next day, Jeju spies reported that all the soldiers and horses under Jeju's command were going to gather in Yuncheng County to attack Yangsan.

It turned out that Huang An was afraid that the Jeju officers and soldiers would not dare to go into battle, so he deliberately spread the news to embolden the Jeju officers and soldiers.

These officers and soldiers can't go into battle to kill the enemy, but they are good at running rampant and domineering in Jeju City on weekdays, and the hotel is their favorite place to go, so the Jeju spies can easily get the news.

Shi Jin heard that Jeju had mobilized many soldiers and horses, so he invited the leaders to the Juyi Hall to discuss the matter.

When everyone arrived, Shi Jin said: "The news of Brother Zhang Qing's investigation, Jeju has transferred soldiers and horses from Jeju and the three counties of Yuncheng, Rencheng, and Jinxiang to come to fight my Liangshan. What do the crowd think? ”

As soon as the words fell, Ruan Xiaoqi said: "Those officers and soldiers are all useless, even when we transferred all the soldiers and horses from Tokyo, our brothers also poked them to death one by one in the water. ”

Chen Da smiled: "I'm afraid they won't even be able to enter the water." ”

Zhu Wu saw that everyone didn't take the Jeju officers and soldiers seriously, and said: "Don't underestimate the enemy, the previous Jeju officers and soldiers were defeated, Huang An ordered the officers and soldiers in Jeju to practice every day, and recruited troops and horses, presumably all the commanders are full." Jeju can dispatch three commanders, one each in the three counties of Yunseong, Renseong, and Jinxiang, for a total of 3,000 troops. And the soldiers who can fight in my cottage are ten teams of infantry troops, six teams of water troops, and three teams of horse troops, but nine hundred and fifty people. The officers and soldiers are three times larger than me, so don't be careless. ”

After Shi Jin fought against the Jeju officers and soldiers last time, he saw the details of the Jeju officers and soldiers.

When I arrived in Tokyo, I also paid attention to the forbidden army in Tokyo, although I didn't fight, but I could see from the spirit that the forbidden army in Tokyo was not much stronger than Jeju's.

I am afraid that most of the 800,000 forbidden troops of the Great Song Dynasty are unbearable, and now what can make Shi Jin afraid is only the border army of the West Fifth Road.

Of course, Zhu Wu's prudence also has merits, otherwise blindly underestimating the enemy, it is inevitable that there will be a day when the boat capsizes in the gutter, but the cottage is just erected, and it is still necessary to stand firm with a domineering attitude.

Shi Jin nodded and said: "What the military advisor said is right, the officers and soldiers are three times as large as me, and we should not underestimate the enemy." But it will be a soldier's courage, Huang An will give him a tiger and wolf army, and he will also be taken into a sheep. There is also the new Jeju governor, since he doesn't want to settle things, then we will teach him another lesson, let him know that I Liangshan Tiger must not be killed. Brother Zhang Qing, when the officers and soldiers of Jeju met in Yuncheng County, they reported overnight. ”

Zhang Qing heard Shi Jin say this, and hurriedly got up and responded: "Yes." ”

Chen Da, Ruan Xiaoqi and other belligerent people were full of excitement when they heard that they wanted to teach Jeju Zhizhou a lesson.

……

Besides, Huang An led the troops to Yuncheng County, and within two days, the forbidden troops from Rencheng and Jinxiang also arrived.

Although after the defeat of Huang An's army in the previous round, he ordered the forbidden army in each county to strengthen drills, but the forbidden army in each county is lazy and used to it, and there is no competent person to supervise, how can it really practice every day.

It was less than 200 miles from Rencheng and Jinxiang counties to Yuncheng County, and the two battalions of soldiers and horses lost their armor and were embarrassed after the three days set by Huang'an.

Huang An saw the appearance of the soldiers and horses of the second battalion, and he could only let the armies rest for one day in Yuncheng County.

In order to recuperate the soldiers and horses of each battalion, Huang An strictly ordered the soldiers and horses of each battalion to rest in the camp, and sent a number of people to patrol the city to arrest the soldiers who entered the city for fun.

This arrangement frightened the ruffians of each battalion and relieved the people in Yuncheng County.

The last time Huang An was defeated, nearly 1,000 defeated soldiers poured into Yuncheng County, and many people were harassed, and they did not have a good impression of these Jeju officers and soldiers.

Seeing that there was nothing to do for a day, Huang An was also ready to lead the troops to drive the next day, and went straight to Shijie Village, where he requisitioned some civilian ships under his management and killed the Liangshan water.

How did you know that at sunset, a public man came on a flying horse, and an official document from Zhizhou came, ordering Huang An to quickly send troops to exterminate the Liangshan bandits.

It turned out that when the officers and soldiers of Jeju were meeting Qi in Yuncheng County, Shi Jin led his troops to rob Hecai Town.

This Hecai town is not than Yamaguchi Town, and the town is close to the Guangji River, which is directly connected to Tokyo and is also an important Cao Canal flow.

Hachae Town is also far richer than Yamaguchi Town, and several large households that were raided lost no less than 300,000 yuan, of course, it was not these money that made Jeju Zhizhou jump to his feet, anyway, these money were not his, but the influence of thieves robbing Hachae Town.

The people of Liangshan hijacked Hecai Town, but did not harm the passing ships resting on the pier.

There is no doubt that as these merchants spread, the news of the robbery of the town of Hachai would soon reach Tokyo.

Moreover, several big families in Hecai Town also have access to Tokyo, if he can't exterminate the Liangshan bandits as soon as possible and recover his property, I don't know how many people in Tokyo will put pressure on him.

Therefore, after hearing that Hecai Town was also robbed, the governor of Jeju angrily sent an official document and urged Huang An to send troops.

Huang An read the official document of Zhizhou, and was also a little annoyed by the rampant of Liangshan strongmen.

There is no one in Taimu, he has already led the army to Yuncheng County, these thieves don't think about how to fight the enemy, and they are still plundering around.

It's so deceitful.

But the more the strongmen loot, the more they can disappear.

Huang An thought that there was a little more property that could be put into his pocket, suppressed his joy, and said to the public who passed the book: "You return to the minister, I will lead the troops tomorrow, detain the boat by the water, and destroy the thieves in Liangshan, and in a few days, I will be able to wipe out the thieves." ”

"Yes, the villain also wishes the general success."
