Then the golden gunner Xu Ning, Zhang Qing without feather arrows, and Hu Yanzhuo with two whips were also defeated under Shi Wengong's gun, Chao Gai saw that Shi Wengong was so brave, and he was also very fond of it, and he was afraid that his brother would lose, so he ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops, and returned to the camp to make plans again.

Returning to the camp, Chao Gai ordered the car to carry the injured Qin Ming back to the cottage to recuperate and rest. At that moment, General Lu, the military advisor next to him, said: "Lord, our army has not achieved results for several days, and the people of Zengtou City will definitely ignore us, so Mr. expects that in the next two days, Zengtou City will definitely send troops to attack the camp." ”

When Chao Gai heard this, he thought about it carefully, felt that it made sense, and immediately said: "It is very possible, in this way, we will plan it and make preparations in advance." ”

Zhu Wu, the Shenji military master next to him, said at this time: "Please rest assured, my brother only cares about passing down the order, first go to report to the generals tonight, and then teach the head of the Lin sect to be on the left, General Guan on the right, and the rest of the military horses are ambushed in all directions." Hearing Zhu Wu's words, Chao Gai readily agreed, and the distribution was decided.

That night, the sky was clear and the moon was white, and Shi Wengong said to Zeng Sheng in the village: "The thief soldiers will be afraid of losing two generals today, and they will take advantage of the situation to rob the village, and then they will break the thief army, and they will avenge Zeng Tu." ”

As soon as Zeng Sheng heard Shi Wengong say this, he was overjoyed at the moment, and he was impatient to invite Beizhai Suding, Nanzhai Zeng Mi, and Xizhai Zeng to come and rob the village together.

Time gradually passed, the golden crow fell, the jade rabbit rose eastward, and when it came to the second watch, Shi Wengong, Zeng Sheng and others sneaked out of the left side to pick up the Luan Lingren and put on soft battles until the Song Jiangzhong military village, and saw that no one robbed the empty village and hurriedly called for the plan to turn around and leave.

Suddenly, only a cannon sound was heard, and the leopard head Lin Chong was knocked out under his left hand, and Guan Sheng with a big knife was knocked out under his right hand, and Xiao Li Guanghua Rongyi caught up with him. Zeng Suo was choked in the throat by Hua Rong's arrow in the black field, plopped, and fell to the ground. Shi Wengong and others saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly led the soldiers and horses to fight a bloody road, but they also lost everyone's hard work, so they broke out of the encirclement.

When he returned to Zengtou City, he suffered heavy losses, and he lost Zeng Suo, the old lady and Mayor Zeng Tou made it a few days down, and even lost his second son, naturally he was in pain, and Zeng Sheng, Zeng Mi and others next to him were also resentful.

It was seven days after the letter of help from Zengtou City galloped to Bianliang, Tokyo, and the person who sent the letter came to the house of Taishi Cai Jing, and through the introduction, he met Cai Jing and told the story of the matter.

Cai Jing looked at the letter, nodded immediately, and said: "This Liangshan thief is bold and reckless, but he is also strong, the imperial court has sent a large army to encircle and suppress it five times, but it has ended in failure, and this Liangshan attack on Zengtou City is a little difficult." ”

At the moment, there is a person standing next to Cai Jing, that person looks but is polite, but he is wearing armor, but he has a bit of Confucian demeanor, this person is Cai Jing's righteous son, the fifth of the thirteen Taibao, called Pan Bingchen, although he has some martial arts, but his wisdom is the most outstanding, known as the flying spirit fox, and also Cai Jing's think tank, right-hand man.

Pan Bingchen, the flying spirit fox, stood up, arched his hand towards Cai Jingyi, and said: "Father-in-law, according to the son-in-law, although this Liangshanbo is said to be a soldier with enough food, but it has not yet reached the time of full-fledged wings, this is a good opportunity to encircle and suppress, and when Liangshan is full of wings and strength, it will be too late to send troops to conquer, besides, that Liangshanbo attacked Zengtou City, it must be a nest dispatch, then Liangshan's old nest must be empty, if you send troops straight to the old nest, then Chaogai's military horses will definitely come to help, if you don't go back, the army just takes advantage of the situation to attack Liangshan, The bottom of the kettle is drawn, and Liangshan will be defeated. ”

Hearing his son's analysis, Cai Jing was overjoyed at the moment, stroked his palms and laughed, and said: "Okay, good, my son is worthy of being my right-hand man, good strategy, but who is the right person to send to command the troops?" ”

Pan Bingchen thought for a moment, and then said: "Father-in-law, but there is a person who recommends, this person is the head of Zhending Mansion, called Zhang Yinglei, known as the Tiger Idiot, his person has the courage of ten thousand people, and he will be able to return with a big victory in Liangshan, in addition, Liangshan Bo has eight hundred miles of water, and it will not work without a water army, Liu Menglong, the commander of the Jiankang Mansion in Jinling, Jiangnan, can go out with the army, when the person was born, his mother dreamed of a black dragon, flew into the belly, and felt born. When he grows up, he is good at water. He once had meritorious service in fighting thieves in the Xichuan Gorge River, commanded 15,000 naval troops, and 500 ships to defend the south of the Yangtze River. There are two people who can break Liangshan in a battle. ”

Cai Jing was overjoyed, and immediately said: "Okay, then fate, Zhang Yinglei is the main general, Liu Menglong is the deputy general, leading the horse army of 5,000, the infantry army of 10,000, and the water army of 5,000, a total of 20,000 troops to attack Liangshan Shuibo." ”

The order was issued, the Privy Council began to allocate military horses, and Zhang Yinglei immediately sent troops from Zhending Mansion to send troops and horses, because Liu Menglong, the commander of the naval army, was in Jiankang Mansion, so it was agreed to meet in Shuibo Liangshan.

Chao Gai naturally knew the news of the imperial court's dispatch of troops, and the intelligence officers from Liangshan in Tokyo sent the information to Chao Gai's handsome case that day, and Chao Gai, who got the news, immediately called all the generals to the Chinese army's big tent and told the matter.

General Lu pondered for a moment, and then said: "Lord, this matter still needs to be considered in the long run, and the imperial court will send a large army to support Zengtou City, so we still plan early and send troops to defend strictly, if not, when the time comes, our army will be defeated." ”

Chao Gai also nodded after hearing this, and said, "Yes, the words of the military advisor are very reasonable. ”

"Brother, I have something to say below." At this time, Wu Yong got up and said, since Lu Jiang, Huang Wenbing, Zu Shiyuan, Chen Dong, Ouyang Che, Lou Minzhong These talents joined Liangshan, Wu Yong found that he was at least a frog in the well, always thinking that he was rich and rich, and he was very strategic, but when he saw Lu Jiang and Wu Yong, he knew that he still had a lot of shortcomings, so he began to retreat behind the scenes little by little, and served as the director of the Political Department wholeheartedly. Just to avoid being dragged down by Lu.

Chao Gai was also happy to see his old brother stand up, and said at the moment: "What does the pedant have to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it, Chao Gai listens attentively." ”

At that moment, Wu Yong said: "Brother, if Xiaosheng is the leading general of the imperial court, the younger brother will never reinforce Zengtou City, support Zengtou City, and lose soldiers and horses, and the odds are uncertain." According to the younger brother, he will send troops to smash Shuibo Liangshan, and come to a plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao, and it will be impossible for me not to return to the division at that time, so that Zengtou City can be solved. ”

After Wu Yong finished speaking, everyone was shocked, if that was really the case, then his Liangshan army and horses would be in danger, and they couldn't take care of each other, once they were broken, the day of Liangshan's destruction was not far away.

Chao Gai laughed and said: "Hahaha, good, the pedant is good, then the imperial court is very likely to go straight to my Shuibo Liangshan, once this is the case, my Liangshan is in danger." ”

"Why don't you send a team of military horses to intercept it halfway, and when the time comes, you will wait for work, you have your own calculations and unintentional, and you will be unprepared to attack it by surprise, this battle will be won, and you will be relieved of your worries, and it is not too late to attack Zengtou City." Wu said with a bow.

General Lu next to him said approvingly: "Brother, in this way, my army is worry-free, Liangshan is worry-free, and Wu's words are very reasonable." ”

Hearing the words of the two, Chao Gai nodded and said, "The words of the two military advisors are very reasonable, but how should the military horses be arranged?" ”

Hearing Chao Gai's question, Zhu Wu, the Shenji military master who had not spoken at this time, stood up and said: "Lord, not far from Liangshan, there is a mountain range, called Ma Ling, the terrain is dangerous, extremely suitable for ambush, but people can be ordered to ambush here, waiting for the officers and soldiers." As for the sailors of the imperial court, they can let the brothers of the navy capture them alive in the 800 miles of water in Liangshan. ”

Chao Gai nodded with satisfaction, he now knows why the superiors need a large number of strategists, it is really trouble-free, after the three of them, you say this and I say this, from the analysis to the arrangement of the troops, it has been said, and the task left for Chao Gai is only to give orders.
