He Tao was waiting for news in the inn with a group of people, and when he heard that the county had been invited, he hurriedly came to the county office.

Shi Wenbin told Song Jiang that Chao Gai and others were all in Liangshan and Song Jiang was thrown by a horse in front of the yamen.

He Tao heard that Chao Gai and the others had news, and he didn't ask Song Jiang again, so he immediately retreated, and rushed to Jeju City overnight with a group of people.

It was midnight outside Jeju City, and He Tao and his party could only rest on the boat.

When it was dawn, He Tao rushed into the city and came to the government to report.

The prefect had just been promoted, and when he heard He Tao coming back, he let He Tao in and asked, "But is there news of the thief?" ”

He Tao said: "Chao Gai and the other seven people have all fallen into the grass in Liangshan, and the Liangshan thieves have obtained the Birthday Gang, and they have already released words at the Li Family Road Entrance to distribute them to the people." ”

Although the prefect had been mentally prepared, Chao Gai and the others who listened to it really went to Liangshan, and they also complained: "How is this good? ”

He Tao said cautiously: "There are many thieves in Liangshan, and if you want to arrest them, you need a large army." The state's forbidden army is afraid that it will not help. ”

The implication is that there is no need to expect his subordinates to be public.

How could the prefect not know He Tao's thoughts, but he didn't have time to embarrass He Tao, waved him down, and asked the public to invite the Benzhou regiment to train the envoy.

Not long after, the Benshu regimental training envoy arrived.

The prefect said: "The thieves who robbed Tai Sheng Chengang fled to Liangshan, how long will it take for you to gather troops and horses to destroy them?" ”

When the regimental training envoy heard that he was going to fight Liangshan, he complained bitterly: "Xianggong also knows the situation of the Jeju forbidden army, and those guys are afraid that they will surrender again before they have even fought." If you want to exterminate the Liangshan bandits, you have to send soldiers and horses to the imperial court again. ”

The prefect sighed and said: "Let people invite the Taishi Mansion to do it and see if the Taishi can be accommodating, otherwise you will have to ask the general to send troops away." I can't sit still. ”

The regimental training envoy arched his hand and said: "Don't worry, if the Taishi can't be accommodating, the last general will definitely lead the troops to arrest the Liangshan thieves, and he can always ask for punishment and escape like Huang An." ”

The prefect shook his head and said: "This time it must be compared to the last time, if you can't catch the thief who robbed the Shengchengang, if you don't stab you and me to Shamen Island, it will be merciful to the Taishi's subordinates." ”

Salmon Island is a place of evil, and nine deaths and a lifetime are not enough to describe.

The punishment of the Great Song Dynasty was roughly divided into 14 classes from heavy to light, and the punishment of the stabbing was ranked first.

In the early years, the Jingdong Transit Envoy once wrote a letter about the disadvantages of Salmon Island.

"If we count the number of 300 men a year, about 3,000 in 10 years, and 2,000 men in charge of it, except for one death. Today it is only one hundred and eighty. ”

In ten years, there were more than 3,000 people who were sent to Salmon Island, and it was normal for one point to die, that is, 300 people, and 700 people were amnesty and transferred to other places. There should have been two thousand, but now there are only one hundred and eighty.

As soon as this book was written, there were still people in the court who didn't know the tragedy of Salmon Island.

In fact, there have been several times before that officials have reported that Salmon Island is short of rations, and that prisoners have fled and resisted due to hunger, but these figures are not as straightforward as this figure.

Rao is regimental training envoy is a martial artist, and when he heard that he was going to assassinate Salmon Island, his complexion also changed greatly.

"Otherwise, we will send this to do some benefits, let him go to the Taishi to say some good things, maybe there will be room for turnaround."

The prefect sighed and said, "That's it." ”

In the past few days, the prefect has sighed a lot.

He studied poetry and books hard, and finally got into the Jinshi, and then survived to the princes of this county.

Who would have thought that it was such a ground, and when he came, there was a giant who could not be provoked, and now he robbed the Tai Sheng Chengang, but he didn't want to put him in death.

At that moment, the prefect and the regimental envoy went to the back study, and asked the people around him to ask the Taishi Mansion to do it.

The cadre also lived in the state office, and arrived in a short time.

The prefect asked the cadre to sit down, and said cautiously: "The lower officials have found out that the thieves who robbed the Shengchengang have fled to Liangshan. It's just that there are many thieves in Liangshan, and the soldiers and horses in Benzhou are really powerless to arrest them, can the cadres ask the Taishi to send troops from the court to exterminate those thieves in the future? ”

The cadre shook his head and said: "When I came, the Taishi said that only when I got the thief, the villain can go back, otherwise I don't know how to die!" Please also pay more attention to the minister, otherwise you and I can't afford to be guilty. ”

The prefect's face was even more bitter, and he said, "Yes, I will send troops to attack Liangshan." It's just that the soldiers and horses will be ten days old when they arrive at Liangshan, not to mention that they still have to fight. If you can write a letter, please ask the master for a few days. ”

Gan Ban said helplessly: "I don't want to make contributions to you, it's just that I lost my birthday for two years in a row, the Taishi is not angry, if you don't punish people, who still fears the Taishi." This time, you and I are afraid that we will not be able to escape punishment. ”

The prefect said: "The cadre asks someone to do a little bit in the house, can you say something?" ”

Gan Ban shook his head and said: "At this time, who dares to go to the Taishi to talk about this, Xianggong should send troops to arrest the Liangshan thieves earlier." If the thief can be caught, it will be more than a few days, and the Taishi will not be too strict. If you can't catch it, then you can only ask for more blessings. ”

Seeing that the people around the always greedy Taishi did not dare to accept the money, the prefect could only say to the regimental training envoy on the side: "In this case, the general must send troops as soon as possible." ”

It's all grasshoppers on a rope.

The regimental training envoy didn't dare to delay, got up and said: "I'll go and transfer troops now, I can't catch the thief, and I vow not to return to the city." ”

The prefect nodded and said: "There is no shortage of gold and silver in the state, and the general will not hesitate to reward, as long as you get the thief, everything is easy to say." ”

"Okay."

Out of the state office, the regimental training envoy went to the military camp to mobilize troops and horses without stopping, and at the same time sent people to Rencheng, Jinxiang, and Yuncheng counties to send orders, asking all the forbidden troops to be collected in Yuncheng County.

Fortunately, the rectification of this period of time still had some effect, and it didn't take long to transfer four battalions of soldiers and horses, leaving one battalion to defend the city, and the regimental training envoy brought three battalions of soldiers and horses and the newly allocated armor of the imperial court out of the city to Yuncheng County, and the grain and grass were prepared by Yuncheng County.

With no baggage, much faster marching, and no one willing to camp in the wilderness, the Jeju Forbidden Army rushed to Yuncheng County before nightfall.

Three days later, the forbidden troops of Rencheng and Jinxiang also arrived within the time limit.

Seeing that it was impossible to capture the Liangshan thieves in the ten-day period, this regiment no longer urged the soldiers and horses under his command, and let the soldiers and horses of Rencheng and Jinxiang rest for a day, and then led the army to Liangshan.

That night, he camped ten miles outside Liangshan Shuibo.

Before the camp was set up, Liangshan Tanma sent a war letter.

The regimental training envoy was also thinking about how to force Liangshan's soldiers and horses to come out for a decisive battle, and when he saw that Liangshan had come to make an appointment for a decisive battle tomorrow, he immediately responded.

Early the next morning, dozens of scouts roared out of the camp and surveyed in a circle of more than ten miles at the place where Liangshan was about to fight.

After hearing that there was no ambush, the regimental training envoy led the troops out of the camp to fight a decisive battle with the soldiers and horses of Liangshan.

Liangshan also dispatched Lin Chong's four teams of Ma Jun, Chen Da, Yang Chun, Zhu Gui, Shi Yong, Chao Gai, Liu Tang, Zou Yuan, and Zou Run, and 32 teams of infantry under the command of 8 people, and 1,800 Ma Bu troops.

The horse army is in the center, the infantry army is divided into two wings, and the leaders of the infantry army are all lined up in front of the formation, except for Chen Da and Yang Chun who are riding horses, the rest of them are wearing leather armor and standing in front of the formation.

In front of the Ma Army, Shi Jin, who was wearing golden silk fish scale armor, took the lead.

On the left is Lin Chong, the leader of the horse army, the head of the leopard, wearing a pair of cast iron armor and holding a spear in his hand.

Yang Zhi, the blue-faced beast on the right, is also the leader of the horse army, but his command has just barely formed a team of horse army, and he can't go into battle yet. Dressed in pig iron armor like Lin Chong, he held a muddy iron point steel spear in his hand.

Shi Jin divided the money and food that he was in charge of before into two, and let Zhiduoxing Wu, who could know and calculate, be in charge of money and sundries; Sun Sheng, the dragon who can know the sky, is in charge of the cottage grain and grass.

Wu Yong and Gongsun Sheng didn't like to fight, and they were also very happy to be in charge of the important functions of the cottage.

Yang Lin, the golden leopard, was the leader of the sentry probe, in charge of fifty scouts in the cottage, although there were fewer people, but it was also an important job.

The two armies faced each other, and the Jeju Forbidden Army had the advantage in numbers, but no one in the Jeju Forbidden Army thought they could win.

The regimental training envoy really wanted to win by virtue of the numerical advantage, but he also knew that if the Jeju forbidden army was doubled, he would not fight to the death against the soldiers and horses of Shangyangsan.

If you want to win, you still have to fight the generals, capture and kill a few thieves, and boost morale, so that these forbidden troops can fight to the death.

The regimental training made Da Ma and more than a dozen generals walk to the front of the formation and shouted: "Who is going to take the lead?" ”

The voice fell for a while, but no one answered.

In the previous match, several people were killed by Chen Da and Yang Chun.

Now I heard that Lin Chong, the head of the 800,000 forbidden army, and Yang Zhi, the grandson of Yang Linggong, have both gone to Liangshan, who would dare to fight.

The regimental training made the people on the left and right hang their heads and were silent, and they also knew that forcing these people who had no fighting spirit to go to war had broken the spirit of the army, so they simply slapped their horses out of the battle, and shouted: "Dedicate the deserted Yang Zhi and the thieves who robbed the Shengchengang as soon as possible, otherwise the general will clear this puddle." ”

Yang Zhigang was about to speak, but Lin Chong on the side had already said, "Brother, can I kill this person?" ”

Shi Jin smiled: "Why not? ”

"Lin Chong is here, borrow your head."

Lin Chong heard Shi Jin's permission, and immediately shouted violently, and Pegasus came to take this group of training envoys.

The regimental training envoy heard Lin Chong's name, and hurriedly shook his spirit to face the battle.

However, Lin Chong was brave today, but Wuhe, he stabbed the regiment with a spear.

Everyone knows that this regiment training envoy is also from Wuju, and Wu Yong is still above Huang An, otherwise he would not have been sent to Jeju after Huang An asked for punishment and fled. didn't want to be just a few combinations, so he was dismounted by Lin Sprint.

The two military horses were stunned when they saw Lin Chong's martial arts.

Lin Chong reined in his horse and shouted: "You can pass the word back, sooner or later, one day, Lin Chong will be a traitor and a traitor." ”

Everyone heard Lin Chong say this, and then they knew what Lin Chong was doing with the group training.

The emotion is to kill the court official Mingzhi.

Shi Jin was also a little surprised when he looked at the arrogant Lin Chong.

There is no doubt that Lin Chong in this life is not the same as Lin Chong in the Water Margin.

After Lin Chong in the Water Margin rushed to Liangshan, he first endured under Wang Lun, and when Chao Gai went up the mountain to move his wife, he found that his wife was forced to death by Gao Yanei, and he was inevitably depressed.

And now that Shi Jin is generous and bold, and the husband and wife are also reunited, Lin Chong no longer has depression in his heart, but he has become the head of a leopard in the early years.

Shi Jin saw Lin Chong so heroic, and he couldn't help but think of a poem inscribed by Lin Chong in Zhugui Hotel when he went up the mountain in the Water Margin.

Righteousness is Lin Chong, and he is the most simple and loyal.

The rivers and lakes are famous, and the Beijing country is a hero.

The life experience is sad and floating, and the fame is turned into a canopy.

If he is young, Weizhen Taishan!

It has to be like this Lin Chong to get this poem right.
