Besides, Shi Jin and the others said goodbye to Song Jiang and returned to the cottage, so they discussed the matter of attacking Yuncheng County.

Shi Jin originally didn't want to attack the prefecture and county, but if he didn't attack Yuncheng County, whether it was the nearby government or friends in the rivers and lakes, he would have to underestimate Liangshan. Moreover, the Liangshan treasury is short of more than 200,000 yuan, and it is about to replenish a large amount of money and grain.

The nearby big families have already moved to neighboring states and counties, and if Liangshan wants to fight big households, it will be at least a hundred miles away, and there are many big households, which will also alarm the imperial court.

Rather than this, it is better to save some things, beat Yuncheng County, and take the money and grain of the inferior gentry in Yuncheng County.

It is really not difficult to fight Yuncheng County, Shi Jin first asked Zhu Gui to lead people into the city, and then the horse army raided, and when the officers and soldiers guarding the gate were about to close the city gate, Zhu Gui led people to kill them.

Before the Ma army arrived, the officers and soldiers guarding the gate retreated.

Liangshan soldiers and horses took Yuncheng County lightly, and also captured the magistrate of Yuncheng County and the two heads Zhao Neng and Zhao De.

Shi Jin led Liangshan soldiers and horses to be stationed in Yuncheng County for two days, killed dozens of corrupt officials and victims, obtained more than 500,000 yuan of money, and after repaying the loan from Qianzhuang, the cottage treasury also had some gold and silver.

Two days later, Shi Jin withdrew from Yuncheng County with his troops and returned to Liangshan.

Jeju Zhizhou Sun Jingtan's Liangshan soldiers and horses were relieved when they returned to Liangshan, but they did not dare to relax their vigilance, and still ordered the forbidden army to guard day and night.

On that day, a forbidden army from Yuncheng County fled to Jeju and told him the news of the siege of Liangshan by soldiers and horses, so he ordered the city gate to be closed, and searched for Liangshan in the city to prevent Liangshan soldiers and horses from attacking the city.

Cai Taishi led the affairs of the three provinces and read the Jeju documents. So he asked the Privy Council to come and discuss the important military situation.

When it was not moved, the privy envoy of the East Hall, Tong Guan, led the three lieutenants. They all went to the festival hall to see the Taishi.

Cai Jing told the story of the Liangshan thieves who had done great evil and attacked Yuncheng County. asked: "Hu Yanzhuo twice conquered Liangshan before, but he was defeated. With what good general can be used this time to exterminate the Liangshan bandits? ”

Tong Guan had just defeated Western Xia and made great contributions, but he didn't take a mere grass in his eyes and didn't say much.

Gao Yu wanted to exterminate the Liangshan thieves as soon as possible, but the most powerful Dang Shiying and Dang Shixiong in his palace marshal's mansion were defeated, and he didn't know who to send.

In the silence, I saw a person turn out from behind the captain. It is the defense envoy of the yamen Baoyi, surnamed Xuan, named Zan, and in charge of soldiers and horses.

The face of this life is like the bottom of a pot, the nostrils are facing the sky, the curly hair is red, and the shape is eight feet; Make the mouth steel knife, outstanding martial arts. He used to be a county horse in the palace, and people called him an ugly county horse.

Because of the Lianzhu arrow, he won the general. The king of the county loves his martial arts and recruits him as a son-in-law.

Who wants the county lord to think he is ugly and die with a grudge, so he can't be reused. Only do a soldier and a horse to protect the righteous envoy.

At that time, this person couldn't help it, and came out of class to say to the Taishi: "The young general was in the township and had an acquaintance. This person is a descendant of the late Han Dynasty's three-point righteous and brave Wu'an Wang Yanpai. The surname is Guan, a famous place. The scale of the birth is similar to that of the ancestor Shangyunchang, making a mouthful of the Green Dragon Glaive Knife. It is known as the big sword Guan Sheng. Now he is doing Pudong inspection, and he is subordinate to his subordinates. This person reads military books at a young age, is well versed in martial arts, and has the courage of ten thousand people. If you invite him with gift coins and worship him as a general, you can sweep the Qingshui Village, exterminate the fanatics, and protect the country and the people. Begging for the will. ”

Cai Jing heard that he was Guan Yunchang's descendant, and he was also overjoyed, so he sent Xuanzan as an envoy, got the paperwork, and went to Pudong overnight on a saddle horse, and invited Guan Sheng to go to Beijing to discuss.

Xuanzan received the paperwork, got on the horse and marched, led three or five servants, and came to the Pudong Inspection Division to dismount in front of the inspection department.

On that day, Guan Shengzheng and Hao Siwen were discussing the rise and fall of the past and the present in the ya, and when they heard that Tokyo had a mission, Guan Sheng and Hao Siwen came out to greet him.

After giving their respects, please go to the hall and sit on the floor. Guan Sheng asked: "The old people haven't seen each other for a long time, what is the matter today, Yuanlao is here in person?" ”

Xuanzan replied: "Because of Liangshan Bo Caokou beat Yuncheng County, Xuan Mou in front of the Taishi, he tried his best to ensure that his brother had the policy of stabilizing the country, and he was able to surrender his troops and cut off the generals. Brother don't have to push back, please pack up and go to Beijing. ”

Guan Sheng also heard the name of the hero of Liangshan, but he liked the opportunity to make this contribution, and said to Xuanzan: "This brother, surnamed Hao, with the double name Siwen, is my brother who worships righteousness. At the beginning, his mother dreamed of Jing Mu Qian being reincarnated, so she was pregnant, and later gave birth to this person, so people called him to be Jing Mu Qian. This brother's eighteen martial arts are incapable. After being called by Master Meng, they went together to serve the country together. ”

Xuanzan knew that Guan Sheng's vision had always been very high, and he nodded: "Liang Shanshui has really gathered some elite soldiers, if my brother still has helpers, he can also invite him to make contributions." ”

Guan Sheng said with a smile: "I also have a righteous brother Tang Bin, he has the courage of ten thousand people, so please go with him." ”

Xuan Zan rejoiced: "Brother, with the help of these two brothers, he will definitely be able to make meritorious contributions. ”

At that moment, Guan Sheng asked people to invite Tang Bin, Tang Bin was still an officer in Pudong at this time, and after a while, Tang Bin arrived.

Guan Sheng introduced Xuanzan to Tang Bin and said: "Liangshan attacked Yuncheng County, and Taishi was about to send troops to exterminate the Liangshan bandits. Brother Xuanzan has promoted me in front of the Grand Master, and I think this is an opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and I want you to go with me. I don't know what the virtuous brother thinks? ”

Tang Bin glanced at Xuanzan, frowned, and said: "The heroes of Liangshan acted for the heavens, and saved millions of victims last year, and the people's hearts have been subdued, so it is not good to increase troops." Why didn't the court recruit them? ”

If it is recruitment, how can you be useful?

Xuanzan shook his head and said: "The Liangshan thieves are unruly and have killed many court officials, and Lin Chong even threatened to kill Gao Taiwei. How will the court recruit them? ”

Guan Sheng nodded and said: "I will wait for the imperial court, just obey the orders, and the rest of the matters will be decided by the princes of the court and the central government." I also heard that Liang Shan, Lin Chong, Luda, Yang Zhi and others were amazing, and I asked my brother to help me. ”

Tang Bin didn't want to go, but seeing that Guan Sheng was going to make a contribution, he had no choice but to respond.

At that moment, the three of them will pay the old and the young, and will lead more than a dozen people in the Western Han Dynasty, pack up swords, horses, armor, and luggage, and set off overnight with Xuanzan.

When I came to Tokyo, I got off the horse in front of the Taishifu.

The doorman reported to Master Cai that he was called in. Xuanzan led Guan Sheng, Tang Bin, and Hao Siwen to the festival hall, and they met and stood at the bottom of the steps.

Cai Jing looked at Guan Sheng, and he was a good talent: a dignified body of eight feet five or six, a thin three willow mustaches, two eyebrows into the sideburns, and phoenix eyes facing the sky; The face is like a heavy jujube, and the lips are painted with vermilion. The raw one is the same as that Guan Yunchang.

The Taishi was overjoyed, so he asked, "How young is the general?" ”

Guan Sheng replied: "The young general is exactly in his thirties. ”

Taishi Cai said: "When the Liangshan Bocao Bandits were rampant for a long time, may I ask the good general, how are you going to exterminate the Liangshan Bandits?" ”

Guan Shengyu said: "I heard that the Liangshan thieves occupied the water pool, and the previous Hu Yanzhuo army was buried in the water pool. When the young general went, when the army filled out a road nearby, he attacked the lair of the Liangshan thieves, so that he lost his geographical advantage. ”

Taishi nodded and said: "I heard that the terrain of Liangshan Shuibo is complicated, the path is very complicated, and there was a big drought last year, so it must not be difficult to fill a road." ”

Immediately called the Privy Council officer, transferred 15,000 elite soldiers from Shandong and Hebei, taught Hao Siwen to be the vanguard, Tang Bin to be the queen, Guan Sheng to lead the army and command the envoy, Xuanzan to be the overseer, and Duan Chang, the captain of the infantry army, to receive grain and grass.

It took half a month, mobilized troops and horses, Duan Chang rewarded the three armies, and ordered Guan Sheng to lead the troops to the battle.

After Liangshan attacked Yuncheng County, he did not stop, but divided his troops to go down the mountain to fight some big harms to the people in the distance to enrich the treasury.

Shi Jin also changed the method of dividing gold and silver, from the previous proportional division to receiving monthly salaries.

The minions have a consistent monthly salary, the captain has always been 500 Wen, the team is three times, the leader is ten times, and the food and clothing are still responsible for the cottage.

Although this will be much less than the money when the previous number of times you went down the mountain, you can receive a fixed salary every month, and with Shi Jin's prestige, the cottage still gladly accepted the new military salary.

On this day, when Shi Jin was watching the infantry training in the martial arts field, he saw Zhang Qing coming from the mountain to report: "The imperial court sent Guan Yunchang's descendant, Guan Sheng, to lead the army to attack the cottage, accompanied by Tang Bin, a mountain warrior, Hao Siwen, Jing Muqian, and Ma Xuanzan of Choujun. These four people are all famous heroes in Pudong, and this time it is because the comers are not good. ”

Shi Jin was also stunned for a moment, Guan Sheng in the Water Margin was only used by Cai Jing when he was fighting the Daimyo Mansion in Liangshan, and there were still more than two years left at this time.

Unexpectedly, he actually changed Guan Sheng's fate, and there was actually Tang Bin, a fierce general.

In the Water Margin, Tang Bin was framed by Shihao, and killed the enemy in a fit of rage, in order to avoid the pursuit of the government, Tang Bin prepared to come to Liangshan to join the gang. It's just that when passing by Baocalf Mountain, he was stopped by Wen Zhongrong and Cui Ye, who were falling on the grass in Baocalf Mountain, and after a fight, Wen Cui and Cui couldn't win him, so they asked Tang Bin to go up the mountain and make him the owner of the village.

Later, Tian Hu attacked the state in Hedong and plundered the mansion, Tang Bin was single, so he could only surrender Tian Hu, but he was still stationed in Baoqian Mountain, and the nearby Huguan was fighting each other.

When Song Jiang led the troops to Pingtian Hu, Tang Bin led people to surrender Guan Sheng.

When seizing the pot pass, Tang Bin stabbed Zhu Jing with a spear in his hand.

This Zhu Jing has been fighting with Zhang Qing for more than 20 years, which made Zhang Qingli timid.

Later, when Wang Qing was conquered, he fought hard against the two of them, and they were outnumbered and killed.

This Tang Bin's martial arts are only afraid that they are not under Lin Chong.

Now Liangshan's reputation is much greater than that of Liangshan in the Water Margin, Shi Jin is still waiting for this Tang Bin to vote, but he didn't expect Tang Bin's fate to be affected by him, and he has not been framed by Shihao, but he has already attacked Liangshan with Guan Sheng.

Guan Sheng is also a person who knows the art of war, and Shi Jin did not dare to be careless, so he immediately sounded the drum of the generals and called everyone to discuss.

When everyone arrived, Shi Jin told Zhang Qing the news he had discovered, and said: "Guan Sheng is here, not to be underestimated, what strategy do everyone have to break the enemy?" ”

Luda said with a smile: "The imperial court sent a descendant of Guan Yunchang, and I also have a little Zhang Fei in Liangshan, so why be afraid of him Guan Sheng." ”

Lin Chong was anxious in his early years, and since he said that he wanted to kill Gao Yu, he was even more brave in charging into battle, so he was known as Xiao Zhang Fei.

"Exactly, with the head of the Lin Sect, it will not help to have more descendants of Guan Yunchang."

……

The crowd laughed.

Xiao Jiasui said: "Guan Sheng was only a Pudong patrol before, relying on the prestige of his ancestors, he was sent by Cai Jing's traitorous ministers to lead the army, and the army will inevitably be dissatisfied." What is such a soldier and horses, as long as he is not given the opportunity to stand up, this battle is not worth worrying about. (To be continued......)
