Text Chapter 339 Eight Metropolitan Eunuchs under Tokyo Road
At that moment, Chao Gai ordered people to beat drums in front of the Juyi Hall to gather generals, and the three drums sounded, and all the leaders on Liangshan arrived at the Juyi Hall one after another, and sat down one after another, and Zhu Gui read out the information of the imperial army's conquest of Liangshan in public.
As soon as Zhu Gui's words fell, Li Kui couldn't wait to stand up, grinned, and said: "Hahaha, brother, there is finally a battle to fight, and I Tie Niu is about to go crazy, this time you have to take me." ”
"Hahaha, Brother Tieniu, don't worry, there are more than 80,000 officers and soldiers this time, and you have to fight the battle, sit back first, and listen to what the brothers in the audience say." Chao Gai felt funny when he watched Li Kui jump up and down, and immediately said to Li Kui.
When Li Kui sat back, Lu Jiang said: "Brother, brothers, this time the officers and soldiers are strong and strong, the soldiers are brave, and the comers are not good, we should be fully prepared, a fierce battle is not far away." ”
Chao Gai heard General Lu's words, nodded approvingly, and said: "The commander of the official army this time is the famous general of the Northwest Army. ”
"The younger brother of Na Xin Congzhong and Deng Zongbi has also heard of it, Na Xin Congzhong makes eight snake spears, eight feet long, making a good flying target, a hundred shots, and the courage of ten thousand people, and that Deng Zongbi, who is seven feet five or six inches long, has purple edges in his eyes, and his opening and closing are flashing like lightning. Make two male and female swords, each more than five feet long, known as the brave general, this Deng Zongbi on the battlefield every time in the first battle, frustrate the enemy's spirit. Neither of them is a good person. As soon as Chao Gai's words fell, Yun Tianbiao stood up and said.
After Yun Tianbiao finished speaking, Dong Ping next to him also opened his mouth and said: "Brother, brothers, the younger brother has been in the Hebei border army and the forbidden army for a few years, and the eight junior brothers under the jurisdiction of Tokyo are also acquaintances, Duan Pengju, the supervisor of the Suizhou Soldiers and Horses, is from a wealthy family. When I was young, I worshipped a few masters in the rivers and lakes, and I learned a good iron rod that I could use right away. Mustache is determined to make contributions. Later, when he joined the army, Tong Guan loved his martial arts and beard, so he accepted him as a personal companion. Duan Pengju didn't know Tong Guan at first, but later found out that this person likes to play with power and bring disaster to the country and the people, and he hated him from then on. Although he is still deferential to Tong Guan on the surface, he is actually helpless. He was sent to Suizhou as a soldier and horse supervisor. ”
"Zhengzhou Soldiers and Horses Supervisor Chen Zhu was born in a family of military generals, learned knives since childhood, and his long-term official position was not high, once with other low-level generals to the court ministers to practice swordsmanship, he killed three generals in a row, Cai Jing and others wanted to arrest and interrogate him, but Tong Guan said that he didn't have to, and he received him under his command, and since then he has become a confidant, and then sent to Zhengzhou as a soldier and horse supervisor, quite a status."
"Wu Bingyi, the eunuch of Chenzhou Soldiers and Horses, was born in a family of scholars, knew books and etiquette, and studied both civil and military. originally didn't want to fight horses all his life, but the two elder brothers in the family took the road of civil officials, and he was quite talented in martial arts, so he had to obey the family's arrangement to participate in martial arts. After entering the officialdom, under all kinds of mistakes, he became a member of Tong Guan's faction, although Wu Bingyi himself did not appreciate Tong Guan very much. ”
"Han Tianlin, the commander of the Tangzhou Soldiers and Horses, is Tong Guan's loyal lackey and Tong Guan's right-hand man to get money. Later, under the guise of Tong Shumi, he became more and more presumptuous, and people gave him the nickname "Peeling Skin". Tong Guan was afraid that Han Tianlin's behavior might endanger his own image, so he asked him to be the eunuch of Tangzhou and leave Tokyo. ”
"Li Ming, the governor of Xuzhou, the brother of Li Cheng, the governor of the Daimyo Mansion, has a similar ideal of climbing to a high position as Li Cheng. The two formed a competitive relationship, Li Cheng voted for Liang Zhongshu of Cai Jing's faction, and Li Ming voted for Tong Guan's faction. Li Ming's martial arts are not as good as Li Cheng, but because he is better at dealing with people, he soon became Tong Guan's henchman. Originally, Tong Guan wanted to raise Li Ming to a higher position, but was jointly obstructed by some other ministers, and in the end Li Ming could only be sent to Xuzhou as a military and horse supervisor. ”
"Wang Yipo, the supervisor of the Dengzhou Soldiers and Horses, was born in a settled household. On the gun stick, since I was a child, I have learned one and a half moves from a few people who make guns and sell medicine; But he was particularly interested in the hidden weapon, because he injured a son with a hidden weapon, and was arrested, and later the son's family was brought down by Tong Guan and others, Wang Yi was secretly released, and was accepted by Tong Guan as a personal follower. Later, in order to please Tong Guan, he also became a eunuch. acted as Tong Guan's thug in the palace, and the party was the same as the other, and some people called him "forgetful". Later, under the pressure of other ministers, Tong Guan sent Wang Yi to Dengzhou as the commander of the soldiers and horses. ”
"Ruzhou Soldiers and Horses Supervisor Ma Wanli was born in the northern borderlands and has Hu blood. It turned out that he had been a teacher in several wealthy families, and after being introduced by a master, he was thrown into Tongguan as a soldier, and later he was promoted all the way to be the supervisor of the soldiers and horses in Xunzhou. He drinks a lot of alcohol and treats people boldly. ”
"Zhou Xin, the supervisor of the Songzhou Soldiers and Horses, was born in a crop and has a lot of strength. Later, he joined the army and made a card army, and then went to Tong Guan's brother Tong Zhen to serve. Tong Guan saw that his martial arts were good, so he promoted him to his subordinates and became a trusted general. Later, in order to consolidate his power, Tong Guan sent Zhou Xin back to his hometown of Songzhou as a military and horse eunuch. ”
There are loyal and traitorous among these eight prisoners, but without exception they are Tong Guan's close confidants, and that day the emperor sent these eight people to Ji Anbang's command in the Xuanhe Palace, and he did not have the intention of balancing Gao Yu, after all, Ji Anbang is Gao Yu's cronies.
After Dong Ping finished speaking, Lin Chong also stood up and said: "Since the vanguard and the general have been introduced, then the four generals of the rear army will be the younger brother, Wen Shichong, Ma Shiming, Guo Shiguang, Zhao Shijia are all generals in the Bianliang Forbidden Army in Tokyo, the younger brother has been the head of the 800,000 forbidden army in the forbidden army, these four people have been generals under the hands of the younger brother, no matter how familiar they are, these four people still have the ability, but the character is very inferior. Everyone called the four of them the four dogs of the forbidden army, and hated them bitterly. ”
After the introduction of several major generals of the general army, Chao Gai began to point out the generals, and the nine battalions of the horse army on Liangshan and the nine battalions of the infantry army and the personal guard battalion, the wolf tooth battalion, the Shenhuo battalion, the lion and tiger battalion, the divine arrow battalion, the Shenwei battalion, and the broken military camp. A total of 37,000 military horses, another Lu will be the military division, Gongsun is competent to join the army, Yun Tianbiao, Lin Chong is with the army, Wu Yong Huang Wenbing is in Liangshan, and the garrison army is left in Liangshan in two places.
The distribution of the army has been decided, and the Liangshan military horses left Liangshan and set up camp in Dulonggang, which was already the bridgehead of Liangshan at this time, and the location of the official army camping was just the periphery of Dulonggang.
However, it was said that the vanguard general of the official army, Deng Zongbi and the sick wing Dexin Congzhong, were ordered to explore the road, and the front was less than ten miles away, and they bumped into a patrol in Liangshanbo, and the banner was written with a double whip Hu Yanzhuo, and at the moment Xin Congzhong heard that it was a rebel general of the imperial court again, and he was furious, and he stepped forward to fight against Hu Yanzhuo.
Two people you come and I fight for twenty rounds, that Xin Congzhong has a snake spear in his hand to make it superb, Hu Yanzhuo's hand a pair of steel whips are also impermeable, for a while no one can help anyone, the two people are fighting, only to hear a gong and drum next to them, left and right each hugged out five hundred Liangshan soldiers, two kills rushed over, Xin Congzhong saw that the Liangshan army and horses had reinforcements, I was afraid of being trapped, swing a shot, dial the horse and go, Hu Yanzhuo behind knew the truth of the poor Kou Mo chasing, and did not chase at the moment, and went back to Dulonggang to report the news.
The overturning tiger Deng Zongbi led the military horse behind to pick up Xin Congzhong, just now Xin Congzhong rode too fast, Deng Zongbi led the army behind at this time, at this time saw Xin Congzhong running back, and immediately asked: "Brother, how is it?" Have you ever seen that Liangshan thief? ”
"I saw it, and we have passed a few moves, that Hu Yanzhuo is worthy of being the Iron Whip King Hu Yanzan, and his martial arts are only higher than you and me, and the military horses of Liangshan are fierce, advanced and retreated, and well-equipped, even the Western Army is just like this, and Liangshan seems to be strong for a reason." Hearing Deng Zongbi ask, Xin Congzhong sighed and said.
The two of them sighed for a while and then led their troops back, and they had already seen the patrol post of Liangshan, which showed that the camp of Liangshan was not far from them, and according to the intelligence, not far ahead was Dulonggang, the place where Liangshan's troops were stationed, and presumably the Liangshan military horses must be stationed on that Dulonggang.
