On the third day, Zhang Qing and Han Cunbao's two groups of men and horses returned to Liangshan, and got countless grains, grasses, and money and grain, and it can be said that the grain, grass, money and grain in Liangshan can be enough for hundreds of thousands of troops for three or four years, and they are definitely enough for soldiers.

People say that they are full of warmth and lust, this soldier is full of food, and he only trains military horses all day long, and it is also very boring, all the tasks are arranged, Chao Gai has become the most idle person in Liangshan, and he is either going around here all day, or looking at where, or he is making love with the two ladies Li Shishi and Hu Sanniang, but after so many years, I still don't see any movement in the stomachs of the two of them.

Time is fleeting, and there is another month before Chinese New Year's Eve, and the sky is also cold early, and there was a heavy snowfall two days ago.

And at this time, suddenly Zhu Gui hurriedly ran up, and did not find Chao Gai in the Juyi Hall and the study, so he came to the observation deck of the back mountain, and sure enough, he saw Chao Gai, standing there with his hands behind his back, looking at the scenery of Liangshan.

"Brother." At that moment, Zhu Gui shouted, and then walked towards Chao Gai.

Chao Gai heard someone calling him, turned around, saw Zhu Gui, frowned, and knew that something had happened, Zhu Gui was the director of the Intelligence Department of the Liangshan Military Affairs Institute, and it must not be a trivial matter to let him find himself in person, so he immediately asked: "Brother, what happened?" ”

Zhu Gui nodded and said: "Indeed, the news that came back from the brothers in Cangzhou just now said that Chai Jinchai was sent to prison by Gao Lian, the prefect of Gaotang Prefecture, and he was beheaded in a few days. ”

After hearing this, Chao Gai was shocked, that Chai Jin has a Danshu iron coupon at home, as long as it is not a crime of rebellion, he can be kept safe, that Gao Lian is not an ambitious leopard who dares to arrest Chai Jin, Chao Gai suddenly thought that there seems to be such a bridge in the Water Margin.

The name is "Chai Jin Lost Gaotang Prefecture", and this matter has to start with Song Jiang and others. Song Jiang and Wu Yongwei forced Zhu Tong to go to Liangshan and asked Li Kui to kill the son of the Cangzhou prefect. Zhu Tong hated Li Kui deeply for this, and Wu Yong had to let Li Kui stay in Chai Jinzhuang for temporary refuge. Later, Yin Tianxi, the wife and uncle of Gao Lian, the governor of Gaotang Prefecture, relied on his power and wanted to seize the garden of Chai Jin's uncle Chai Huangcheng, and also beat Chai Huangcheng. Chai Jin heard the news and went to Gaotang Prefecture with Li Kui. Chai Huangcheng died of anger, and Chai Jin asked people to go back to Cangzhou to get the Danshu iron coupon, intending to go to Tokyo to sue the emperor. Yin Tianxi came to make trouble again, and beat Chai Jin, but was beaten to death by Li Kui. Chai Jin hurriedly asked Li Kui to leave, but he was arrested by Gao Lian, and after being beaten into a trick, he was put on death row. Song Jiang heard that Chai was imprisoned and sent troops to attack Gaotang Prefecture. When Lin Ren, the prison leader, admired Chai Jin, hid him in a dry well behind the prison, and reported to Gao Lian that Chai Jin was dead. Gao Lian had no time to take care of it because of the war. After the Liangshan army broke through Gaotang Prefecture, Li Kui went deep into the dry well and rescued Chai Jin. Chai Jin went to Liangshan to join the house from then on

At that moment, Zhu Gui told the reason for the incident as it was, which was basically the same as described in the Water Margin, but without Song Jiang and their intervention, Chai Jin was still imprisoned.

At that moment, Chao Gai said: "That Chai Daguan has helped me and other Liangshan brothers a lot on weekdays, and the friendship is also good, since Chai Daguan is in trouble, we can't help but help, rescue Chai Daguan, notify the Government Affairs Yuan, and the heads of the Military Affairs Yuan will discuss the study." ”

The street rat Zhang San next to him answered immediately, turned around and left, the street rat Zhang San and the grass snake Li Si have now become Chao Gai's personal guards, although Chao Gai's martial arts do not need the two of them to protect, but it is also good to pass on a message on weekdays, and the two of them are conscientious, which is also to make Chao Gai take a fancy to him.

After a while, in the study, everyone arrived one after another, Chao Gai looked at it, and then said what happened to the two firewoods.

At that moment, Wu Yong pondered for a while, and said: "Brother, I Liangshan can't stand idly by in this matter, Chai Daguan and many of my Liangshan brothers have favors, and they also take care of me Liangshan on weekdays. ”

"Yes, what the pedant said is exactly what Xiaosheng wants to say, and I Liangshan must send troops in this matter." As soon as Wu Yong's voice fell, Lu Jiang next to him also nodded and said.

Chao Gai looked at the others again, and everyone agreed to send troops, and then Chao Gai said: "Well, it is impossible for me Liangshan to stand by this time, send troops to Gaotang Prefecture, rescue Chai Daguan, this time I personally sent out the troops, thunderbolt fire Qin Ming, no feather arrow Zhang Qing, double gun general Dong Ping, Nanli Taibao Shibao, iron rod Luan Tingyu, Saizhijie Yang Tengjiao led the headquarters of the people and horses to go out, Lu General, Shi Qian, Gongsun Sheng with the army, Wu Yong, Yun Tianbiao, Lin Chong sat in Liangshan. ”

"Yes, yes." The crowd took orders.

Not much to say, after the battalions were assembled, they went out of Dulonggang, at this time Dulonggang was the place of Liangshan's troops, all the regular troops were stationed in Dulonggang, and there were only garrison troops on Liangshan.

After leaving Dulonggang, the army marched towards Gaotang Prefecture, along the way, many heroes and heroes came to defect, one is that Liangshan this time is a benevolent and righteous move, and secondly, they have long wanted to go to Liangshan, but there is no good time.

Many of them are famous talent generals in the Water Margin, which makes Chao Gai a little surprised, but he is also very happy in addition to being surprised, and he also went to recruit him one by one, including Bao Xu, the god of mourning, Xiao Wenhou Lu Fang, and Sai Rengui Guo Sheng.

Came to Gaotang Prefecture, at this time, Gaotang Prefecture had already received the news, strictly guarded, the city gate was closed, Chao Gai ordered the army to set up camp, rest for a night, and start attacking the city early tomorrow morning.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, the sky was bright, and after the Liangshan army and horses had breakfast, they began to set up a formation outside the city, preparing to attack the city.

That Gao Lian heard in the city that the Liangshan army and horses had set up a position outside the city, and he was furious at the moment. As soon as the order went down, the front of the tent was in charge, supervising the army, commanding, commanding, and promoting, and as soon as the military officials were in charge, and the troops in each department led the horses, they were all in the teaching field. The generals were at the mercy of the city to meet the enemy. There are 300 ladder soldiers under Gao Lian, who are called flying gods, all of whom are strong men selected from Shandong, Hebei, Jiangxi, Hunan, Lianghuai and Zhejiang.

The three hundred flying divine soldiers were all extremely elite, with messy hair on their heads and a handful of smoke clouds on the back of their heads. Hanging Hulu, with a thousand flames hidden on his back. The yellow wipe forehead is divided into gossip, and the leopard skin is pressed in all directions. The cooked copper mask is like gold, and the iron hob is like a broom. Cover the heart armor, with bronze on both sides of the front and back; Shine on the flag, and the left and right are scorching with a thousand layers of black fog. It is suspected that the canopy is half away, just like the moon and clouds.

Gao Lian was wearing armor, hanging a sword at his waist, riding on a BMW of a divine horse, and on both sides were the generals of Gao Tang Prefecture, all of whom were stubborn and vigorous.

The two armies greeted each other; Each strong bow and crossbow, the drum rumbled, the horn was blown and the drum was beaten, Chao Gai took Zhang Qing and Qin Ming and the ten leaders to the front of the battle to restrain the horse.

At that moment, the leader of the two spears put Dong Ping out of the battle and shouted: "The thief surnamed Gao will come out quickly!" Liangshan heroes will Dong Ping here, not afraid of death! ”

Gao Lian led Ma Yi to the door, and more than 30 officers went out to the door, restrained the horse, pointed at Dong Ping and scolded: "You gang of traitors who don't know how to die!" How dare you offend my city! Acquaintances quickly dismount and surrender, otherwise you will be burned! ”

Hearing Gao Lian's words, Dong Ping, the two-gun general, was furious and shouted: "You robber who harms the people!" Sooner or later, I will kill the Jingshi and break your bully to pieces! Your neck is also kept by Ben General! ”

Gao Lian was furious at the moment, and turned around and asked, "Who will take this thief first?" ”

In the officer corps, a commander surnamed Yu Ming, slapped the horse wheel knife in front of the battle. When Dong Ping saw it, he directly picked up his two guns and went straight to Yu Zhi. The two of them fought less than five together, and they were stabbed by a shot in Dong Ping's heart, somersaulting and dismounted. Gao Lian was shocked when he saw it, and exclaimed: "Who will come out and cut off this daring thief under the horse?" ”
