Chapter 621 Divert the tiger from the mountains and seek water
Fertile soil naturally produces abundant fruits. Inheriting the history of civilization in China, even if it has embarked on a downhill road, the current Great Song Dynasty will never lack people of insight.
At this time, in the camp of the courtiers, there are also reasonable people, and it is obvious that Wang Wenbin can be regarded as one of them. It's just that a group of people like him with a clear conscience, although they are insightful of Gao Yu's short-sighted approach, and they also know that this person is vigorously digging the foundation of this imperial court, but unfortunately there is no way to turn things around, and the people whose duty is to defend them to the death are a clear future.
At this moment, the self-correction function of the Zhao and Song dynasties was impaired, but fortunately, Wang Lun still remembered the significance of hanging out the banner of "walking for the sky". Finally, on the day after Gao Yu's perverse actions, the Liangshan army, which was unwilling to sit back and watch the people suffer, went down the mountain and drove into the realm of Shouzhang County, comforting the innocent people who suffered from unjustified disasters while officially issuing a war letter to Gao Yu.
Who would have thought that Gao Yu, who succeeded in his poisonous plan, was unusual, and did not immediately agree to a decisive battle with Wang Lun, but postponed it for two days before agreeing to a decisive battle the next day, as if he was waiting for something.
On the eve of the battle, both the offensive and defensive sides were stepping up their recuperation in anticipation of the decisive battle after the rising sun.
On this night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and there was no wind. On the wide and boundless lake, hundreds of large and small fishing boats were densely scattered, secretly heading north, aiming directly at Wang Lun's base camp: Tatewa.
It is said that this is the first time since the rise of Liangshanbo that someone organized people to attack the main island of Liangshan (Liu Menglong surrounded the point to send reinforcements, and before he entered the lake, the whole army was annihilated, so naturally it is not counted). And these people, to be honest, have little to do with Gao Yu. Because before Gao Yu came, this group of people who gathered together for various reasons had already regarded Liangshan as a thorn in their side. A thorn in the flesh, I can't wait to get rid of it quickly.
"Master, walk for a while, and we'll have to put out the torches! Seeing that we are getting closer and closer to the Tatewo, so as not to make the thieves open our minds and be on guard! β
On a large ferry boat in the protrusion of the fleet, a man with a face as round as a mirror and a color like yellow sand turned back to ask the person behind him. In the flickering light of the fire, it was enough to see that the man was stripped naked, revealing the white flesh of the snow. And its belly is very large, but its limbs are short, so different from ordinary people, it looks a little scary.
"What if he's defensive! This gang of thieves has been down the mountain for three days, and the navy army is moored on the north shore of the Great Lake, which can be said to be pouring out. Seeing that there are no more old, weak, sick and sick people on the mountain, no matter how many people there are, what is the use? Put three or five thousand good men around me and my wife. Coupled with the 3,000 officials and soldiers who came with the imperial court, Ah Chou, are you afraid? β
The hateful man had not yet answered, but a woman beside him sneered and grabbed the conversation. The ugly man heard the woman laugh. couldn't help lowering his eyebrows and pleasing his eyes, saying "don't dare". Looking at his face, he seemed to be very afraid of this mistress, but fortunately, at this time the master spoke. Relieved him:
"Pile flowers, don't be impatient! As the saying goes, be careful to sail a 10,000-year-old ship, and let's catch him off guard. It's better than going head-to-head with a thief! You don't know, think that this Liangshan minions, unlike the rabble elsewhere, do not hesitate to die in the war, the descendants around us are barely enough for 2,000 people, and the rest are mostly borrowed by rich people everywhere, so be cautious! Also, the Shen family brothers are good men, if they are cowardly, how can they cross us to take revenge? Although you and I are strong in martial arts, can't we fly up to Liangshan across this vast wild water? β
It is said that this woman likes to arrange flower branches, so she is called "pile of flowers", at this time her own man called out her name in front of everyone, a little shy, disgusted: "Boss, serious!" We are burdened with a sea of blood and revenge, and we are here to take revenge, and you should still be at home! β
The man smiled when he heard this, but he inadvertently glanced coldly at the dark road, the calmness in his eyes was all driven away by the ferocity, and he also sneered: "This group of thieves who were struck by thunder, I summoned the family and never provoked him, but for a nine-incompatible Li Yun, first harmed Hua Mink and Jinzhuang, and then destroyed the incense of my Zhaojia village, I can't wait to eat the flesh and blood of the king thief Xiao thief, only in the morning and evening, I will make the mountains all over the scorched earth!" β
The woman saw that her man was angry, and she restrained herself a little, but turned to a gentleman beside her and said, "Mr. Shi, in your opinion, is Shi Wengong credible?" β
As soon as these words came out, the ugly man was slandered in his stomach, and at this time the arrow had been off the string, but he still asked this kind of ugly words, what is the picture? If you can't believe it, why do you have to do this? This woman is very fond of things, and it seems that she knows no time.
Fortunately, the person who called Mr. Shi was good-tempered, and he was not surprised when he heard the words, but he just warmed the heart of this woman, and said slowly:
"Although Shi Wengong doesn't have much contact with me, he is an outstanding person in my clan, and I know a little about him. I want him to teach himself a world martial arts, and he is full of hope to serve the imperial court, and he can fight for a wife and son, but unfortunately he has not been allowed to enter the door, and he has found another way in Zengtou City. was captured by Liang Shan a few days ago, if Wang Lun was soaked in words and pulled him into the gang, I really didn't have much confidence in persuading him to turn back. How do you know that Wang Lun is simply in vain, just relying on Shi Wengong's talent as a general, but forcing him to pick up dung and cheap labor, showing humiliation and torture, how can Shi Wengong not hate it in his heart? According to Xiaosheng, Shi Wengong is sincerely serving us this time, but he ......"
Speaking of later, this scholar said that the woman was a little disliked, originally her husband and wife were both excellent martial arts people, her husband traveled extensively when he was young, and he went out to learn a good skill, and there are few opponents so far. And his sixteen flying knives, even his own men can't take them, and they are not less stained with human blood, who knows that Mr. Shi, who has not been here for a long time, keeps saying that Shi Wengong is a world-famous martial arts and a general's talent, so how can she be used in her heart? was about to say a few words to squeeze him, but he didn't expect that the person next to the pillow had already guessed his mind and spoke in advance:
"Mr. Gu Gong, there are no outsiders on the ship, in front of my husband and wife, there is nothing wrong with talking!"
The gentleman smiled when he saw it, looked at the couple and said, "Please also ask Xian Liang Meng to help one or two in front of Zhang Xianggong, and promised Shi Wengong's future earlier, don't lose your word!" β
"As long as the Liangshan thieves are destroyed, it must be a great merit. Not to mention that Mrs. Zhang kept watch for Uncle Night, even in front of Gao Yu and Mrs. Gao, my husband and wife will try their best to recommend it! The man smiled and agreed, and then looked at this Shi Gu Gong and said with a smile: "Even sir, there is no need to succumb to the thatched house at that time, the court will have a Bole who knows people!" β
The man who spoke looked less than forty years old, and his words were very sophisticated. It seems that it is not an overnight thing to win the hearts of the people, otherwise it would not be possible to collect two thousand rebellious people after the hometown called Liangshan to break, and they thought about going to Liangshan to take revenge all day long.
"Then borrow the good words of the owner!" Shi Gu Gong clenched his fists and thanked him. If you want to say that Shi Wengong came from his Jianyì, it can be regarded as a great gift for him to serve, for some reason, the people who came out of their Shijiazhuang always have a more rugged fate than others, so Shi Wengong failed to defect to the imperial court, so he could only live in Zengtou City. And he couldn't cast in the east and fell in the west, and finally encountered the summons of destroying his family and fugitive, and starting a new stove, which is what happened today.
"If something happens, you will live up to your honor! Shen Boer, put out the fire! Zhao Xin waved his hand and said proudly.
The ugly who commanded the fleet was commanded by his master. took the lead in extinguishing the torches on his own ship, and when the surrounding ships saw this, they all followed the plan and extinguished the torches on the ship one after another. But the boundless darkness began to spread through the fleet.
"Brother, the ship in front is putting out the fire, I think it's almost to the thief's lair, let's destroy it too!" Central of the flotilla. Seeing this, a junior who was in charge of the Chinese army turned back to his brother and asked for instructions. If you look closely, this person is clearly the Jeju envoy who has been to the high place of Heungin Province before. Uncle Zhang's youngest son, Zhang Zhongxiong.
The elder brother said "um", and immersed the torch in the water, in the sound of "Zizi", the flame suddenly turned into a trace of green smoke, the man couldn't help but sigh, looking interested, Zhang Zhongxiong saw it, puzzled: "Why is my brother like this?" Are you afraid that this trip will be fruitless? β
"Gao Taiwei forced the Liangshan thieves to come out of the nest, and now the thieves' den is empty, we have Shi Wengong with a group of people to do the internal response, the Zhao Xin couple who are the vanguard have the courage of ten thousand people, and Shen Bo'er, who coordinates the fleet, is used to taking the waterway. Just because I am afraid of startling the grass and snakes, these civilian ships are all collected after nightfall, brother, this qiΔ is in your calculations, so flawless, what am I afraid of? The brother smiled bitterly.
Zhang Zhongxiong, who was in a state of excitement, did not notice the self-deprecation in his brother Zhang Bofen's tone, but was reminded of the old things that he was proud of in his chest. Thinking that Liangshan robbed his house in Jeju and burned a lot of land deeds, he was the first to see the opportunity contained in it, and said to his father Zhang Shuye several times that he wanted to use these fields as bait to recruit Jingdong Haoqiang to enter Jeju to fight against Liangshan.
"The thief is only in front of him, I don't know why my brother is depressed?" Zhang Zhongxiong asked.
"Zhong Xiong, have you ever thought about the reason why the Liangshan thieves can be ridden by us? If it weren't for Gao Taiwei who killed the people in Yunzhou, would this Liangshanbo be able to come out? I think that I and other dignified officials and soldiers, on behalf of the Son of Heaven and the imperial court, actually want to do such a thing to lure the snake out of the hole, and think about it afterwards, is my conscience acceptable? Zhang Bofen shook his head and said.
As the saying goes: There is no two days in the sky, how dare this Wang Lun do the right thing for heaven! Our brothers have worked hard for a year or two, isn't it for this moment? If you let the Liangshan thieves sit big, I'm afraid that the country will have no peace! Zhang Zhongxiong did not directly respond to his brother's question, but just said to himself.
Seeing that his brother didn't speak for a long time, Zhang Zhongxiong said to himself: "When the Liangshan thieves are destroyed, my father will contact the states around Shuibo to write a letter to ask the officials to exempt the taxes of several states, and the people will not benefit by then?" β
Speaking of the four words benefiting the people, Zhang Zhongxiong couldn't help but increase his tone, but the brother who remained silent made him feel a sense of weakness, this passage is not so much to persuade the brothers, but to cheer himself up, because he has to admit that when it comes to benefiting the people, no one can compare to Liangshan throughout the ages, and it is even more impossible for the imperial court after recovering Tatewa.
"A thief is a thief after all, and there is no fault in killing a thief!" At this time, a voice sounded in Zhang Zhongxiong's heart, for Wang Lun, who had kept his father in a state of torment for the past two years, he would not be soft in any case, "Perhaps, leaving you a whole corpse is my greatest respect!"
