Liangshan's soldiers and horses stopped in Gaotang Prefecture for two days, and openly beheaded Gao Lian, Yin Tianxi, and dozens of corrupt officials and gentry and market bullies in the city, and then came to Liangshan with the money, grain, soldiers, and wealth of those corrupt officials and gentry in the city.

There were no soldiers and horses to intercept all the way, so that the leaders who wanted to make contributions were not disappointed.

Besides, Gao Yu was also furious when he heard that Liangshan robbed Gao Tang Prefecture and killed Gao Lian.

At three o'clock in the fifth watch of the next day, Emperor Daojun ascended to the palace.

The net whip sounded three times, and the civil and military classes were in unison.

The Son of Heaven sat down, and the head of the palace shouted: "If there is something to go out of the class, there is nothing to roll up the curtain and retreat." ”

Gao Yu went out of the class and said: "Today, there is a Jeju Yangsan Bo thief who has made great evils. robbed the city, robbed the warehouse, gathered the murderers and evil parties, killed the officials and people of Gaotang Prefecture, and the warehouse was taken captive. This is a big trouble for his henchmen, if he is not punished early, he will develop a thief day by day, and it will be difficult to subdue him. Fu begging holy break. ”

The Son of Heaven still has some impressions of Liangshan, remembering that he had sent troops to exterminate him before, but then he was no longer heard. Now that I heard that the Liangshan bandits not only did not exterminate, but became more and more troublesome, and even the state capital was robbed, I couldn't help but be displeased: "The widow remembered that he had sent troops to exterminate this Liangshan bandit before, why didn't they exterminate it, but made them more and more rampant?" ”

Gao Yu said perfunctorily: "The previous time I sent troops, only because Na Hu Yanzhuo surrendered to the enemy, so the army was defeated. Later, Tong Shumi used troops in the west, and the matter of exterminating the Liangshan bandits was put down. ”

The Son of Heaven trusted Gao Yu's guy, frowned and said: "How can such thieves make them sit big, you quickly select the troops to exterminate the Liangshan thieves." ”

Gao Yu hurriedly responded.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, the three lieutenants went to the Privy Council to discuss with Tong Guan about sending troops.

Gao Yu said: "I sent troops to exterminate the Liangshan bandits many times before, but they were all defeated by the Liangshan bandits. On the contrary, the thieves got a lot of armor and sat on it. It would be useless to send any more domestic soldiers and horses, and it would be necessary for the pivot to transfer a western army to make contributions. ”

Although Tong Guan is a eunuch. But he has dark skin and dozens of mustaches under his chin. There were some warriors who looked like they said: "The Western Army and the Western Xia have fought repeatedly, and they have to rest for a while." Moreover, the Western Xia has already been injured by the official, and when the Western Army rests, the official will still lead the troops to wipe out the Western Xia, how can the deployment be disrupted because of a small grass coward. There are many soldiers and horses under the command of the Tai Lieutenant, and it is not a problem to exterminate a small grass coward. ”

Now who in the court doesn't know that Tong Guan wants to sweep away the Western Xia and then become the king. Be the first eunuch prince.

Gao Yu heard Tong Guan say this, and said: "In the future, 10,000 elite soldiers will be able to exterminate the Liangshan bandits, and they don't need many soldiers and horses." ”

Tong Guan shook his head and said: "In the past few years, this official has used troops in the west, and although he has won many victories, the losses of the western army are not small. Now that the autumn is high and the horses are fat, it is the time when the Western Xia is committing the border, and it is difficult to send 10,000 soldiers and horses out. ”

Gao Yu also knew that Tong Guan's words were half-true, and it was true that the Western Army had suffered a lot of losses. But Tong Guan's successive victories were fake, and the battle between the Western Army and the Western Xia could be said to be half of the victory and defeat, but the Western Army had a slight upper hand by virtue of the national strength and population of the Great Song Dynasty.

Look at Tong Guan saying this. Gao Yu also knew that he would not be able to move the Western Army this time.

If you can't win in the quality of soldiers and horses, then you can win in quantity.

Gao Yu thought about it for a while, and simply wanted to allocate 10,000 troops from each of the Eighth Route Military Prefectures under the management of Tokyo. He sent the commander of the soldiers and horses of this department; It is also necessary to select 20,000 points in the Imperial Forest Army of the Beijing Division to protect the Chinese army. There are a total of 100,000 troops, and Gao Yu personally took the lead to exterminate the Liangshan bandits.

Tong Guan looked at Gao Yu and did not move the Western Army. He readily agreed.

When Gao Yu understood the emperor and got the will.

Tong Guan ordered the Privy Council to send troops to the Privy Council, so that all the soldiers and horses could gather in Tokyo.

Within daylight, the armies would meet in Tokyo.

Gao Yu personally led the troops, and naturally no one dared to lack money and food.

The Eight Route Military Horses:

Suizhou soldiers and horses are supervised by Duan Pengju

Chen Zhu, the commander of Zhengzhou Soldiers and Horses

Wu Bingyi, the commander of the Chenzhou Soldiers and Horses

Han Tianlin, the supervisor of the Tangzhou Soldiers and Horses

Li Ming, the commander of the Xuzhou Soldiers and Horses

Wang Yi, the commander of the soldiers and horses of Dengzhou

The soldiers and horses of Junzhou are in charge of Ma Wanli

Songzhou soldiers and horses are the supervisor of Zhou Xin

Gao Yu also selected two good generals from the left feather and the right wing in the imperial camp to guard the Chinese army, and the two of them:

The former Wyvern General is beautiful

The former Flying Tiger General Bi Sheng

All the armies gathered, the arsenal surrendered the weapons, and the imperial court let Zhongshu Province reward the three armies, and Gao Yu led the troops to the battle.

On the day of the expedition, I don't know how many officials came to see them off.

Gao Yu ordered the 100,000 most elite soldiers and horses in the forbidden army, and no longer took Liangshan in his eyes, and brought some singing and dancing girls to have fun in the army.

The three armies, large and small, marched together, and all the supervisors had to show their skills in front of Gao Yu's boss, and they all fiddled with the soldiers and horses very strictly.

Within a few days, I arrived at the Jeju border.

Zhizhou Sun Jing went out of the city to greet him, and the army lived outside the city.

Gao Yu led the light horse into the city and dismounted in front of the state government.

Sun Jing invited to the hall, bowed to the house, and stood in front of him.

Gao Yu asked, "What is the movement of the Liangshan thief?" ”

Sun Jingyu said: "A few days ago, the Liangshan bandits set up camp outside Shuibo, and all the Ma Bujun went down the mountain. When Taiwei had ordered troops in Tokyo earlier, they got the news that the Liangshan bandits had decided to meet Taiwei's army outside the berth. ”

When Gao Yu heard this, he smiled and said, "These thieves begged for their own death, but they saved me a lot of effort." ”

Sun Jing was not very optimistic, although Gao Yu brought 100,000 soldiers and horses, but these soldiers and horses were not stronger than the soldiers and horses brought by Hu Yanzhuo before.

However, he saw that Gao Yu was proud, and he couldn't say it clearly, so he could only say: "In the past few days, Xia Guan has also made contact with Song Jiang, who was sent to Liangshan before, he is the leader of Dongshan and is in charge of the thieves. Although he can't turn his back on the battle array, he can let a group of soldiers and horses smuggle into Liangshan Dazhai when the army is fighting, and seize the thief's lair. When the time comes, the thieves will inevitably be in chaos without a fight. ”

Gao Yu didn't get carried away, nodded and said, "That's fine, then wait until I get out of the camp, and then contact this Song Jiang." ”

Sun Jing said: "The mobilization of soldiers and horses near Jeju can't hide from Liangshan's eyes and ears, only the thieves and horses on the Dongping Mansion side are the leaders of the people recruited by Song Jiang, and the Taiwei can transfer the soldiers and horses of Dongping Mansion to there, so that the thieves and sailors recruited by Song Jiang can pick them up and go to Liangshan." Dong Ping, the governor of Dongping Mansion, is also a fierce general, and Song Jiangli should cooperate with the outside, so he should be able to destroy the lair of the Liangshan thieves. ”

Gao Yu nodded and said, "I still have some impressions, this Dong Ping is also a fierce general." ”

The two discussed for a while, and Sun Jing invited Gao Yu to the banquet.

The officials and wealthy families in the city have been waiting for a long time, and after eating and drinking, they naturally have to pay some gold and silver.

The next day, Gao Yu went out of the city to drive the army, approaching the Liangshan camp for twenty miles.

In addition, Gao Yu transferred the army, and the difference between Duan Pengju, the supervisor of the soldiers and horses of Suizhou, was the vanguard, Chen Zhu, the governor of Zhengzhou, was the deputy vanguard, Wu Bingyi, the governor of Chenzhou, was the deputy commander, Li Ming, the governor of Xuzhou, Han Tianlin, the governor of Tangzhou, Wang Yi, the governor of Dengzhou, was the left post, Ma Wanli, the governor of Xunzhou, and Zhou Xin, the supervisor of Songzhou, was the right sentinel, the two generals of the dragon and tiger, Bi Sheng was the wings of the Chinese army, and Gao Yu was the main general, the commander-in-chief of the army, and he was draped all over his body and personally supervised.

The drums of war are three links, and all the armies are up.

The army had not traveled more than ten miles, and where the dust had risen, a Puma army had galloped in.

The five hundred horse soldiers were all dressed in black and black armor, and their hands were no longer the imperial court-standard spears, but snow-bright swords.

When the first leopard head ringed eyes, swallow jaw and tiger whiskers, it was clearly written on the flag, it was the leopard's head Lin Chong, and the nearby Jin leopard poplar forest.

Lin Chong led the horse army to gallop to Gao Yu's army for more than a hundred steps, only then did he restrain the soldiers and horses, and stepped forward alone, shouting: "Lin Chong is here, quickly tell Gao Yu's dog thief to come out and die." ”

Although Duan Pengju and Chen Zhu wanted to fight, they had also heard of Lin Chong's prestige, and they were afraid that when they broke the spirit of the army, they would be punished by Gao Yu, so they could only let people report to Gao Yu's Chinese army.

Gao Yu was furious when he heard that Lin Chong dared to come to stop the army with 500 horses, and immediately brought Yumei and Bi Sheng to the front army to watch the battle.

Lin Chong saw Gao Yu in a golden helmet and armor come out of the battle, and it was the enemy who was extremely red when he saw him, and shouted: "Gao Yu dog thief, this is your death date." ”

Gao Yu saw Lin Chong insulting in front of the battle, and he was also furious, and shouted: "Who is going to kill this thief with me?" ”

A fierce general in the vanguard turned around, stepped forward and jumped out of the horse, and immediately bowed and said: "The young general is willing to go, begging for the will." ”

Gao Yu looked over, but it was Chen Zhu, the governor of Zhengzhou, with a white robe and silver armor, and a green horse, making a big pole knife, and seeing the position of deputy pioneer.

Chen Zhu is also skilled in martial arts.

"Don't dampen the spirit of our army."

As soon as Gao Yu gave an order, he taught the army to send three links under the banner of the golden drum, and recruited soldiers and horses on the stage to display the red flag.

Chen Zhu came out of the battle from the Pegasus under the gate, and the two armies shouted in unison.

Lin Chong saw that someone came out of the battle, and he also shouted, and patted his horse to catch up.

Lin Chong came in anger, the two horses intersected, and the fight could not be twenty he, Lin Chong shouted, stabbed Chen Zhu off the horse with a spear, and pointed at Gao Yu and shouted: "This is your fate soon." ”

Gao Yu saw that Lin Chong killed his deputy vanguard, and pointed at him and scolded, and felt even more shameless, and shouted: "The one who killed this thief will be promoted to one level." ”

When Duan Pengju heard this, he immediately bowed his hand and said, "The last general is willing to avenge General Chen." ”

Gao Yu nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Duan Pengju was just about to go out of battle when he saw another group of horses galloping behind him.

The one who is the head is the blue-faced beast Yang Zhi, and the deputy general is the fiery and fierce Deng Fei.

Yang Zhi came to the side, reined in his horse, and shouted to Lin Chong: "General, go back, I will fight with them for a while." ”

Lin Chong wanted to fight again, but the military order was difficult to disobey, so he could only shout to Gao Yu and said, "Let's leave you a dog's life, and come back to get it again." ”

After speaking, he turned back with his soldiers and horses.

Duan Peng raised the array, saw Yang Zhiqi, knew that he was the general of the Yang family, and shouted: "Unprovoked grass cowards, rebel fanatics, the heavenly soldiers are here, they have not surrendered, and they will treat their flesh and blood into mud, how much regret is there!" ”

When Yang Zhi heard this, he didn't answer, and the flying horse stepped forward, holding up the steel gun in his hand to get Duan Pengju.

Duan Pengju saw Yang Zhi coming, and he also hit his horse to catch up.

The two horses intersect, and the weapons are raised together.

The two fought for more than 30 times, and Yang Zhi stabbed Duan Pengju off the horse with one shot.

At this time, Hu Yanzhuo had already led the soldiers and horses to come and watch the battle.

Yang Zhi made contributions, didn't say much, and led the soldiers and horses away. (To be continued......)
