Chapter VII: The Great War between the Government and the People

The tent cloth of the tent was opened, and Wu Song walked in expressionlessly, but he heard the angry voice of the man with triangular eyes in the tent, "Who are you, why did you come in without reporting!" ”

The two embracing figures must be separated for a moment.

Wu Song glanced at the other handsome-looking soldier in the tent, a hint of understanding appeared at the corner of his mouth, and said politely, "Liang Xuancheng forgives the crime, the lower official is the defense envoy of Huazhou, because there is an important matter to report, he trespassed into the big tent in a hurry, please forgive Liang Xuancheng." ”

Liang Xuancheng waved his hand, and the leader of the adjutant who led the way retreated with another soldier, leaving only Wu Song and the others in the camp tent.

"Huazhou? I have some friendship with you, Lord Liu. Liang Xuancheng's face was calm, but the corners of his eyes were still slightly gloomy, and he sat down on the big tent.

Wu Song said secretly, you don't have to guess to know that you have a relationship with Liu Che's old pervert, but he still said politely, "Lord Liu also often mentions adults, praising adults for governing the army well and loving soldiers like sons." ”

Wu Song's words made this Liang Xuancheng very useful, his face returned to normal, and asked, "It's all famous, I don't know if it's all named." ”

"Xiaguan's surname is Wu Mingsong."

"That's good, Wudutong, Xia Guan remembers that you seem to have escorted Liu Zhizhou to the Birth Gang, you are here, it is not that the Birth Gang has an accident." This Liang Xuancheng looked Wu Song up and down with triangular eyes, and a fine fox-like light flashed in his eyes.

This Liang Xuancheng's name is Liang Zijie, and he is the nephew of Liang Shijie, the famous mansion Liang Zhongshu, who has always been shrewd and never makes loss-making transactions, just like he came to Qingzhou this time to tie up the Qingzhou Zhizhou, who has a close relationship with Liang Zhongshu.

"My lord misunderstood, the birthday gang has arrived in Tokyo safely, and I am here for another matter."

"Alas, my uncle couldn't identify it at the beginning, and he used Yang Zhi, a thief who ate inside and out, to match the army, so he lost the Birthday Gang, if only they all came to my Daimyo's Mansion." Liang Zijie first sighed, and then asked, "Since it's not a matter of Shengchengang, what is it?" ”

"Xiaguan heard that Qingzhou Hu and Li Erzhuang were surrounded by displaced people, and wanted to ask the adults to send troops quickly, but it would be too late to do so." Wu Song's face was full of urgency, as if he would lose his life if he didn't send troops.

"Ah, this...... Isn't Hujiazhuang and Lijiazhuang still fine, and the official has to make preparations again, and when everything is ready, he will defeat these homeless people in one fell swoop, showing the prestige of our official army. Wu Dutong, you are so anxious, is it not that you have any family members in Erzhuang. ”

Liang Zijie excused himself repeatedly, but seeing Wu Song's anxious face, he asked with interest.

"I have a deep friendship with the owner of Hu and Li Erzhuang, but more importantlyβ€”" Wu Song suddenly lowered his voice and said, "I still have 30,000 pieces of gold and silver money left in Hu, Li Erzhuang, if these two villages are captured by the exiles, then my money will not be lost." ”

"What?!" As soon as Wu Song finished speaking, Liang Zijie shouted.

Liang Zijie's surprise is not unreasonable, he is a promiser, and he only has hundreds of dollars in a load. At that time, money was always equivalent to a tael of silver. The Birth Gang is only claimed to be 100,000 pieces of gold and silver money. As soon as Wu Song exited, it was 30,000 yuan of money, and it was strange that Liang Zijie didn't call it an export.

Wu Song seemed to be afraid of being known by others, and hurriedly said, "Lord Liang, don't make a noise, if this matter is publicized, the head of the lower official will not be protected." ”

Liang Zijie glanced at Wu Song unnaturally, and said secretly, grandma, you kid won't be swallowing the birthday gang, why can't it be my turn to do such a good thing, no, Taishi Cai is not a fool, how could he not know that someone is favoritism, no, I have to ask clearly, maybe it is another windfall.

Liang Zijie is also a shrewd person, he pondered for a while, and said with a dark face, "Wu Dutong, you are so bold, you dare to swallow the Birthday Gang privately, if this matter is known by Liu Zhizhou, I have to send you to the frontier." ”

Wu Song said in a panic, "My lord really misunderstood me, how dare Xia Guan do this, this is something for Taishi Cai, if Shengchengang makes a big move, it will be hidden from his old man's eyes."

I don't know, when the next official line arrived at the boundary of Qingzhou, he was robbed by a group of thieves, the leader was captured by me, he in order to save his life, he told me a secret, it turned out that the previous year's birthday in Huazhou was robbed by him, and the villain also took the sheep, but in order to hide people's eyes, they were stored with a batch of grains. ”

Liang Zijie remembered that Huazhou's birthday gang last year was indeed robbed, and he already believed it in his heart, but he still hesitated, "I can't just listen to Dutong's one-sided words, unless Dutong can prove that Li Erzhuang does have the property of Shengchengang." ”

The urgency on Wu Song's face was even worse, as if he was helpless, he took out a South China Sea pearl from his arms and handed it to Liang Zijie.

"Your Excellency, please take a look."

Liang Zijie took the pearl and put it in the palm of his hand to look at it for a moment, his face showed joy, "That's right, there is indeed the mark of the Birth Gang." ”

This South China Sea pearl is Wu Song's "stolen goods" used to frame him in order to rescue Yulan in Zhangdu's prison mansion, when he saw that Yulan liked it, he simply gave it to her, and later the girl returned the pearl to Wu Song, saying that he could think of her through guΓ² when he left her.

Wu Song took back the pearl and said, "Then if the adults send troops immediately to disperse this group of displaced people, I'm afraid it will be too late." ”

Liang Zijie said unhurriedly, "You also know that there are tens of thousands of homeless people in this group, and it is a great risk for this official to rush to send troops." ”

Wu Song said impassionedly, "Don't worry, if the adults are willing to send troops, the lower officials will share 1,000 yuan to the adults for military expenses, and never let the adults send troops in vain." ”

"Hmph, a thousand yuan, you and I are called Hanako, so it's easy to send it away, isn't it?" Liang Zijie reprimanded.

Wu Song gritted his teeth, "Two thousand yuan, it can't be more." ”

Liang Zijie saw Wu Song's painful appearance, and his heart was a little more convinced, but his face was even darker, "Wu Dutong, you obviously know that it is a birthday gang, and you dare to hide it and not report it, if I disclose this matter to Liu Zhizhou, do you still want to live, read that you provided the news, and the official gave you a thousand yuan." ”

"My lord, you can't be so dark, that's 30,000 yuan, it's better to be half of me and my adult."

"Don't say it again, besides, the official won't give you a penny, you go and prepare, the official will leave immediately."

Seeing Liang Zijie's stunning eyes, Wu Song could only leave the camp "depressed". But when he walked out of the tent door, his eyes were cold again, and he spat out the word "idiot" softly.

Soon the snare drum sounded in the tent, and all the soldiers gathered and rushed to Hujiazhuang. Wu Song rode beside Liang Zijie, and learned from him that Wu Song knew that there were 1,000 forbidden troops and 4,000 box troops among these soldiers and horses.

The forbidden army is the elite drawn from the local sergeants, most of which are used to guard the Beijing division Bianjing, and some are used to guard some important border passes and important towns, such as Yanmen Pass, Taiyuan Mansion, and Daimyo Mansion, where some forbidden troops are guarded.

The box army is a conscription of unqualified soldiers left behind by the forbidden army, and the good thing to say is that it is a soldier, in fact, it is a high-level miscellaneous service, and many local box soldiers even make a living by weaving hand-woven baskets, because the local governors usually let them do this kind of thing in vain, and over time, practice makes perfect.

It is said that this trend later extended to the forbidden army, and many of the forbidden army could not march and fight, but they were five-star model workers, no wonder the military of the Northern Song Dynasty was so weak. It is also in vain for an army to have good generals without a division of tigers and wolves.

But Wu Song didn't mean to rely on this army, he just wanted this army to attract attention.

It was about 20 miles away from Hujiazhuang, and the infantry marched for half an hour before finally seeing Hujiazhuang.

Hujiazhuang is the same as Zhujiazhuang, four high-walled compounds, with fences on the wall, pedestrians can be on it, although it is not like Zhujiazhuang relying on the terrain of Dulonggang, but it is not comparable to these homeless people with poor weapons outside.

Not far from Zhujiazhuang, there is a camp where the displaced people are stationed, and it sounds like a camp, but in fact, it is a few rows of tree trunks, and in the circle of tree trunks, there are a few rag tents, and the whole is a refugee camp at all.

At this time, it was not these camps that attracted Wu Song's attention, but the bloody battle outside Hujiazhuang, a large number of homeless people passed the trunk built on the high wall, rushed up like crazy, the townspeople on the village stabbed out their spears, and the homeless people fell down with a scream, but the homeless people behind still rushed up like flowing water, not afraid of life and death, which made people's hearts furious.

Their eyes were fierce, and they were supposed to be on the battlefield.

After all, the townspeople on Hujiazhuang couldn't stop the tide of homeless, and after a while, they were rushed up by many homeless, Wu Song was shocked, but saw a woman in red suddenly appear on the high wall, with a beautiful face, and a beautiful figure outlined in a strong outfit, compared with the homeless people around her, it was simply a fairy-like existence.

She brandished her twin knives, and the homeless people who rushed up fell like upside-downs. When Wu Song saw this woman, he was overjoyed, forcibly suppressed the urge to step forward to save people, and calmly said to Liang Zijie, "My lord, at this time, the two sides are fighting fiercely, and if they attack suddenly, they will achieve good results." ”

Liang Zijie nodded and ordered an attack, the snare drum sounded, two thousand Xiang troops outflanked from the side, and one thousand forbidden troops and the rest of the Xiang army sneaked up from behind.

When this group of homeless people heard the sound of the snare drums, they didn't show too much panic, but just turned around abruptly, and their hungry wolf-like eyes stared at the heavy grain and grass of the officers and soldiers.

Many of the homeless people fell in pools of blood, but the others were not afraid, picked up the weapons of the dead officers and soldiers, and slashed at the officers and soldiers without fear of life and death.

In the face of the dense crowd of displaced people in front of him, Wu Song had nothing to do, he could only hope that the official army could break through this barrier, and he could take the opportunity to rush to Hujiazhuang.

The displaced people attacking the wall of Hujiazhuang were only a part, and under the suppression of the number of officials and troops, there were finally signs of rout, but they were already surrounded by officials and troops, and they could only rush towards the narrow passage on the high wall of Hujiazhuang.

Seeing the rout of the homeless, Wu Song didn't have time to rejoice, but he saw the homeless people rushing up like a tide on the high wall of Hujiazhuang, and the red shadow had disappeared.

"Sanniang." Wu Song cut down a homeless person who was rushing to Hujiazhuang, and rushed towards Hujiazhuang quickly, and the other officers and soldiers did the same under the supervision of Liang Zijie.
