Chapter 16: The Verge
Faced with Song Jiang's questioning question, Ximen Qing replied categorically: "Exactly! β
Chao Gai was generous, and he didn't hesitate, he took out all the talisman swords on the spot, pushed them on the case, and said: "I can trust the wisdom of the wise brother of Siquan!" Help him succeed! β
Ximen Qing was moved and bowed deeply: "Thank you, Brother Tianwang!" β
Wu Yong was full of feelings on the side, and then he continued: "Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be ignored - the Siquan brothers are in power, if there is a loss, ......"
Ximenqing turned his head and said, "I wish to make a military order!" was blocked by Ximen Qing like this, and Wu Yong was speechless.
Except for Song Jiang and Wu Yong, other people on Liangshan have no resistance to Ximen Qing's military power, and most people still think that this is a matter of course.
At that moment, Ximen Qingbai received the soldier talisman sword, got up and said solemnly: "The official army came to encircle and suppress our Liangshan, it is the time for all the brothers to fight bravely!" In the battle, first of all, you must be a strict order, today please Chao Gai's brother Longquan sword here, if there is a person who dares to disobey the general's order before the army, Hugh blames Longquan as soon as it comes out, and the military law is ruthless! β
The sharp eyes swept around, and everyone in the righteous hall was respectful, and they all bowed down and said, "No! β
Seeing that everyone was united, Chao Gai smiled and said: "The military heart is available!" Brother Siquan, everything is ready now, only the east wind is owedβbut I don't know what your clever plan is? β
Ximen Qing shook his hand and said: "Military aircraft are like heavenly machines, and they must not be leaked!" Don't say anything now, see you then! β
Although everyone was curious, they saw that Ximenqing's face was serious and his words were reasonable, so they had to hold back and not ask. At that moment, Ximen Qing divided his troops and sent generals, preparing to meet the enemy, and Liangshan suddenly became lively.
When Ximen Qing was busy preparing for the battle, Hu Yanzhuo, the main general who surrounded and suppressed Liangshan, was also thinking about how to break the enemy.
To be honest, being able to be the main general who commands the army is really unexpected by Hu Yanzhuo. You must know that since Gao Yu took office, he has never sent bribes to Gao Yu's subordinates - the rules of officialdom, don't run, don't send, demote and use; Only run but not send, use in situ; Running and sending, this can be promoted and reused - after his own door, his mentality is self-exalted, and he is born to look down on him for a fortunate minister like Gao Yu, who was born in the wilderness, and is willing to flatter his door, the laughter of passers-by, and the shame of his ancestors?
Who would have thought that he would not run or send, not only would he not be demoted, but he was promoted and reused by Gao Yu, and was given the task of leading heavy troops to suppress the drama - could it be said that he was wrong to blame Captain Gao? Is he a man of deeds?
What Hu Yanzhuo didn't know was that on the night when Gao Yu circled him to enter Liangshan, the two commanders under Gao Yu's sect went to ask to see, these two are two brothers, one is called Dang Shiying, and the other is called Dang Shixiong, both of whom have the courage of ten thousand people, and they are proud protΓ©gΓ©s who worship under Gao Yu's knees. After saluting Gao Yu, Dang Shiying first asked: "Teacher, since you have the opportunity to make great contributions such as entering and suppressing thieves today, why don't you send the villain brother to go, but instead raise up outsiders?" β
Seeing the appearance of the resentful wife of the Dang brothers, Gao Yu couldn't help but say loudly: "You don't know!" That Liangshan Caokou is a capable person, and this time the army will encircle and suppress it, and there will be a fierce battle. That Hu Yanzhuo is from a famous family, and he has never looked down on this official, and my stomach has been swollen for a long time! This time, I will take this opportunity to make a plan to drive away the wolf......"
Dang Shixiong couldn't help but say humbly: "Taiwei said the opposite, it's a plan to drive the tiger and devour the wolf......"
Before the words fell, Dang Shiying had already punched it: "Shut up!" The teacher is familiar with military books and war strategies, and there are millions of armored soldiers in his belly, don't you know how to drive tigers and devour wolves, and you still need to come to the class to get an axe? Today, Liangshan is big, Huyanzhuo soldiers and horses are small, and the teacher said that it is to drive the wolf and devour the tiger, it is the impermanence of the soldiers, the impermanence of the water, and the person who can change due to the enemy, which is called the god - the magic of it, how can you, a brainless guy, spy on it? β
Gao Yu's face was already red, but when he was slapped by Dang Shiying's ingenious sycophant, he suddenly turned into a red fortune, and immediately looked red, and nodded reservedly: "Shiying is shrewd, Shixiong is honest, you are the double master of Taiwei!" This Taiwei's plan to drive away the wolf and devour the tiger is to ask Hu Yanzhuo to consume Liangshan's strength first, and when they are both defeated, find a reason to belittle that Hu Yanzhuo, at that time, your two brothers were ordered to be in danger, and they succeeded in a battle, and they came back to receive a heavy order, and they were also born under my disciple! β
When Dang Shixiong heard this, he bared out a mouthful of yellow teeth, stretched out two thumbs, and said with a dead heart: "High!" It's really high! β
Compared with the clever brother's rhetoric, the honest brother's clumsy words have a different flavor, Gao Yu is even more comfortable, and said: "Now your brother knows my clever plan, right?" β
Dang Shiying sighed: "The teacher is clever, it is really unpredictable!" β
Thanks to Gao Yu's unpredictable magic and clever calculations, Hu Yanzhuo was able to become the main general of the expedition without running or sending. Hu Yanzhuo has heard of the name of Liangshan, and knows that its place is not comparable to ordinary grass cowards, as the saying goes, "fight tiger brothers, go into battle father and son soldiers", so he also promoted his brother Ping Navy commander Hu Yanqing, Chenzhou regimental training envoy Baisheng General Han Tao, Yingzhou regimental training envoy Tianmu General Peng ?? Meritorious service before the battle.
Hu Yanqing is his brother, and Han Tao Peng Xi Weishenme is also worthy of his brother? It turned out that the ancestors of Han Tao and Peng Xi were all the old departments of the Huyan army in Hedong, and the Zhao and Song dynasties were deeply jealous of the military generals supporting the private army. Han Tao Peng Xi's ancestors, at the same time bought land outside the city of Tokyo, got Tokyo's household registration, to Han Tao Peng Xi's generation, although they were all promoted to become officials, but still do not forget the old grace, always to the old ministry of the self-style, so the family exchanges are endless.
As soon as the recital of Bao Song was sent, he immediately got a palindrome from the Privy Council, and it was called by the starry night, Hu Yanqing, Han Tao, and Peng Xi came in a hurry, saw Hu Yanzhuo, and listened to the eldest brother talk about the reason, and the brothers were all overjoyed.
Gao Yu hated Liangshan deeply, so he urged them to return to Benzhou as soon as possible to select people, set off on a date, and take over Liangshanbo. Hu Yanzhuo said: "The soldiers and horses of the Fourth Route Army are all well-trained and sharp divisions, with more than 15,000 people, and the soldiers are strong and strong, so there is no need for the palace marshal to worry." But I am afraid that the clothes and armor are not complete, but I am afraid that the date will be missed, and it will be inconvenient to take the crime, and I will beg for grace. β
Hearing this, Gao Yu smiled and said, "What's so difficult about this? The four of you can go to the Beijing Division armor warehouse, regardless of the number, choose the armor and armor at will, and receive it at the first level. Make sure that the army and horses are neat, so that they can fight against the enemy, and on the day of the army, I will send my officers to look at it. β
Hu Yanzhuo received the Jun Zhi and went to the armor treasury to withdraw, and selected three pairs of iron armor, 5,000 pairs of cooked leather vests, 3,000 copper and iron helmets, 2,000 spears, 1,000 hobs, and countless bows and arrows, all loaded on the car. Hu Yanzhuo, Hu Yanqing, Han Tao, and Peng Xi all don't drink the blood of soldiers, they are used to living a poor life, and they are getting rich overnight, which is really like being in a dream.
Although it seems to be real and illusory, Hu Yanqing thought of something, so he said to his brother: "That Liangshan grass is hidden in the water, and my Hu Yanbing is anxious not to move forward, if it can't shrink, how can it be good?" I have long heard that there is a gunner Ling Zhen in the Beijing Division, the name is Thunder, this person is well versed in martial arts, skilled in bows and horses, and is the most good at making artillery, he can go to the distance of fourteen or fifteen miles, where the stone cannon falls, the sky collapses, the mountains fall and the stones crack, if there is such a person, the division attacks the thieves' nest across the water and smashes its camp. β
Hu Yanzhuo said with a smile: "People's hearts are not enough, and they have to be long, and they look back at Shu?" So he was cheeky and went to talk to Captain Gao again.
Gao Yu nodded and said that he understood. In only half a day, Ling Zhen was dispatched to the gunpowder kiln (gunpowder production workshop) of the Guangbei Siege City (Northern Song Dynasty Arsenal) in Kaifeng Prefecture. Ling Zhen condescended to the subordinate all year round, and was not allowed to display his talents, but today he got the opportunity, and the lion opened his mouth widely, asking for more than 500 artillery and iron cannons, and the elite equipment used in the siege of the city, such as smoke balls, thistle fireballs, divine fire flying crows, and fire dragon water.
It is said that the price is all over the sky, and the money is repaid on the spot, who knows that the imperial court does not seem to be ready to live, Ling Zhen's request was paid in full quickly, and for a while, Ling Zhen also seemed to be sleepwalking. They don't know that Taishi Cai Jing, Taiwei Gao Yu, and eunuch Yang Jian are bound to win Liangshan for revenge and profit, and they are generous to the Zhao and Song dynasties to do their own private affairs, so why not? With the full cooperation of these "three wives", Hu Yanjun and Ling Zhen naturally wanted what they wanted.
The logistics and materials are guaranteed, everyone is full of energy, Hu Yanzhuo does not stop doing two things, and Gao Yu asked for more than 3,000 good horses, in his words: "I can give our Huyan army some family foundation back, what do I want to do with this face?" β
When the face was used as cowhide and elephant skin to the extreme, the soldiers and horses of the four roads were also assembled and cleaned up, and Ling Zhen also transferred the eight gunners he had trained, and brought thirty or forty relatives and companions, everyone was in good spirits, just waiting to go out of the army. Gao Yu took the officials of the Privy Council to pretend to inspect it, and when he saw that everyone was strong and heroic, Gao Yu was overjoyed, and said secretly: "If it weren't for this Huyan soldier, I wouldn't be able to fight this battle, and I can't lose both sides with Liangshan!" β
So the horn sounded, the three armies pulled out the village, the swords and guns flowed rapidly, the people and horses were popular, Han Tao was the vanguard, Hu Yanzhuo and Yanqing were the Chinese army, Peng Xi was the merger, Ling Zhen escorted the cannons, stones, grain and grass, and the people and horses came to Liangshan.
This time, the officials who were originally in a stable mood in Liangshan suddenly couldn't stabilize, and they all seemed to be ready to move. They are so miserable! The official who spent the capital to come here, just because the money was not in place, was actually distributed, ah no! It's distribution! was actually assigned to the vicinity of Liangshan! You can't be corrupt and take bribes, this is hell on earth!
The heavenly soldiers are coming, and this time it's good! Countless officials looked south at Wang Shi, and couldn't help but burst into tears. This is exactly what it is:
Heroes drive tigers and leopards, and heroes move swords. But I don't know what will happen next, and listen to the next breakdown.
