Chapter 426: The Familiar Messenger
With the arrival of the fourth year of Xuanhe, the situation in the world has changed......
The Liao State is really coming to an end, and the dignified Emperor of the Liao State was forced by the Jin State to eat sand in the desert, and completely lost contact with the major towns.
Then, the entire Liao country was boiling, and the royal family members in all the major towns came forward to stand on their own, and several regimes that did not recognize each other appeared at once, and it became a pot of porridge.
At this time, it is definitely an excellent opportunity to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun.
Today's officials are not polite at all, and directly transfer the main force of the Western Army to conquer the rebels in southern Jiangnan, and start the final preparations for the conquest of Liao.
Tong Guan had to 'endure the pain' to leave the Jiangnan Flower World, and led the main force of the Western Army to arrive in the Bianliang area, preparing to unite with the Bianliang Forbidden Army to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun.
Ahem, Da Yi has secretly made an alliance with the Jin State to jointly crusade against the Liao State.
At present, the Jin State is in a state of collapse, almost reaching the border of the Liao State close to Da Ji, if it does not send troops in time, it is uncertain who will fall into the hands of the sixteen states of Yanyun.
The offensive of the Jin State was so majestic, and the Liao State was almost destroyed, how could it be possible to say that the great cowards and ministers were not afraid in their hearts?
If the Jin State was to take the lead in capturing the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, the consequences would be unimaginable.
So, no matter what Tong Guan thought, how unwilling the soldiers of the Western Army were, in the end they could only turn around and leave outside Qiantang City.
Yes, unlike normal history, and unlike the original Water Margin, the Qiantang City occupied by Fang Labu was not taken by the official army.
Of course, the current situation is only temporary.
The rebels of Fanglabu could not withstand the rapid offensive of the Liangshan army at all, and Qiantang, as the core of the south of the Yangtze River, would be destroyed sooner or later.
At that time, countless large families in the south of the Yangtze River and a large amount of money gathered by wealthy merchants will be at the mercy of the officials and soldiers.
There are also grain, grass and ordnance collected by the Fangla rebels, as well as gold, silver and jewelry, as well as a large amount of copper coins, which will become war trophies.
There is also a great contribution to counterinsurgency at your fingertips, which is simply not too wonderful.
As a result, the imperial court ordered a piece of paper, which almost caused the main force of the Western Army outside Qiantang City to mutiny, and it was not easy to appease and reluctantly leave, giving such a big fat piece of Qiantang to the Liangshan army.
In order to appease Tong Guan and the dissatisfaction of the soldiers of the Western Army, Song Jiang ignored Lu Zhishen's strong dissatisfaction and forcibly allocated half of the materials from the rear camp and handed them over to Tong Guan and the soldiers of the Western Army who left.
As for whether it will have an effect, no one knows.
……
What happened on the front line in the south of the Yangtze River, although the Chai officials sitting in Liangshan Benzhai knew about it, they didn't care much about it.
At this time, the entire Liangshan village, as well as the villages attached to the village, had a bumper harvest in the third year of Xuanhe, the grain output was greatly increased, and the income of the rest of the workshops and shops, as well as agriculture, forestry, fishery and animal husbandry, etc., had increased amazingly.
There is a jubilant atmosphere in the entire control area of the village, and the people are concerned about the harvest and income, as well as the performance of their children in the school, and all the changes in the village, as for the situation outside, they don't care at all.
If it weren't for the fact that Benzhai passed on the blackboard newspaper in the school from time to time to spread the major events that happened in the outside world, and then passed them back home through the students, this would make the people attached to Benzhai have a little understanding of the situation outside, and I am afraid that Song Jiang, the leader of Liangshan, would be completely forgotten.
No way, in addition to the large increase in income, the village also convened a dry village to hold a variety of colorful entertainment activities, there are the most fashionable Keju and sumo wrestling in this era, as well as some other competitive or puzzle activities, the people's minds are firmly attracted, the war of the Liangshan army in the south of the Yangtze River is really not worth paying attention to.
In this regard, Chai Daguan has no intention of guiding, just let it be, he does not have the consciousness of free Yang Ming for Song Jiang.
……
On this day, the Chai officials, who were sitting in this village, suddenly received a message from Zhu Gui, the leader of the welcoming guests, that a distinguished guest from Bianliang City had arrived and wanted to ask to see the officials.
Bianliang City? Elegant?
After receiving the message, Chai Daguan couldn't help but chuckle, and said to the messenger soldier: "Go, talk to Leader Zhu, and say that a certain person is not interested in meeting any distinguished guests!" ”
Zhu Gui's brain is in water, right?
What about Bianliang, if you don't report your name and identity, you don't have to be polite.
What kind of bullshit guest, even Emperor Daojun is here, don't expect him to pay much attention, Liangshan Benzhai at this time has such confidence.
A Jiangnan La, can be called the most capable of the main force of the elite Western Army is helpless, the combat power of this village is absolutely above the Fang Labu, this is the confidence.
That is to say, Chai Daguan didn't have much heart to take the initiative to target the big coward, otherwise the big coward would have changed hands at this time.
As long as there are ten strong men in Liangshan, it is enough to run rampant in the world and beat the cowardly officials and troops to the point of a complete collapse.
Even the so-called elite Western Army is like a bird, and how much combat effectiveness can the cowardly army have?
Now is not a troubled time, although the foundation of the ruling foundation of the Great Gang Imperial Court has been completely shaken, it has not yet reached the point where the wall is falling down and everyone is pushing it.
Taking the initiative to provoke war is likely to have a great causal entanglement with the Water Margin world.
In this world where the aura of heaven and earth is relatively active and can use some magical powers, who knows what serious consequences will be?
Chai Daguan knows that the first three layers of the Fortune Pagoda in the sea have been filled with luck, and the fourth layer is slowly filling, and he doesn't want an unexpected situation to affect the absorption of luck.
Besides, the idea of one hundred and eight stars that has already been completed is the best harvest for him to come to the Water Margin World.
If it weren't for the fact that he still wanted to continue to cultivate and improve with the help of the star life of the heroes of Liangshan, I am afraid that he would have taken the initiative to return to the main world at this time.
It would be best if he could become the lord of the Central Plains, but he didn't want to take the initiative to destroy the order of the world, and if the world was in chaos, there would naturally be no polite reason.
Therefore, don't look at Chai Daguan's idle nest in Liangshan Benzhai, he is silently accumulating strength, and at the same time, he is also waiting for the opportunity of chaos in the world.
It's hypocritical, but it's also in his own interest......
On the other side, at the hotel where the guests were greeted by the water, Zhu Gui received a message from the messenger, and he was not embarrassed for a while.
He didn't expect that the Chai officials would be so supportive that they didn't even care about the distinguished guests from Bianliang, didn't this make enemies for the village?
"What, the big officials don't want to see Wenso?"
Sitting next to him, the middle-aged and young man with an extraordinary bearing smiled and said, "Or, let's inform the big officials of Wen's intentions, maybe the big officials will have other ideas?" ”
"That's fine!"
Zhu Gui nodded awkwardly, and then summoned the shopkeeper to give such and such an order, and then passed through the hidden waterway behind the hotel and took a fast boat to the village.
At this time, he also reacted and secretly said that he was confused.
The distinguished guest he thinks is not necessarily in the eyes of Chai Daguan.
Fortunately, Mr. Wen from Bianliang didn't mean to blame, but pulled him to ask questions, obviously very curious about the surrounding environment.
This made Zhu Gui secretly relieved, and he had a better impression of the middle-aged Confucian in front of him, so he almost had to answer the other party's questions.
"It's just that more than a year has passed, and there have been great changes near Shuibo!"
"This is natural, the rural transformation plan led by the big officials has borne fruit, at least the surrounding villages are almost complete!"
"Oh, it seems that Wen Mou has missed a lot of excitement, can you talk about this rural transformation plan, how to transform the law?"
"Haha, this is not a secret thing, since Mr. wants to hear it, he will naturally say whatever he wants!"
"That's good, to be honest, I was a little surprised to see the brand-new village nearby, as well as the noisy and lively environment!"
"Haha, even Mr. Wen was surprised, obviously the rural transformation plan led by the big officials should be considered a success!"
Zhu Gui's face was full of light, with a look of honor, and he slowly explained the actions of the big officials, as well as the actions of the village, as well as the changes in the nearby villages, and the tone was relaxed, which caused the middle-aged Confucian to show surprise from time to time.
At noon, Mr. Wen, accompanied by Zhu Gui, ate a special meal of Liangshan and praised him again and again.
By the time Xiao Er, who had returned to Benzhai to deliver the message, came back, the time had already reached the afternoon.
"Chief, the big official asked me to take Mr. Wen to Benzhai!"
"Didn't the leader come to greet him?"
Zhu Gui frowned, and said in a somewhat dissatisfied tone: "Don't the big officials have other orders?" ”
"Nope!"
Xiao Er's answer was crisp and neat, and he shook his head and said, "The big official has no other orders!" ”
"Don't worry, Wen is really nothing, and it's normal for big officials not to care!"
The middle-aged Confucian surnamed Wen opened his mouth and said with a smile: "Brother Zhu Gui doesn't need to be like this, Wen will follow the little brother to the village!" ”
"Then the gentleman is good!"
Zhu Gui was helpless, he felt that the big officials were too big, no matter how Mr. Wen was also the top powerful man in Bianliang who he represented, not to mention how important he was, at least he couldn't be easily offended.
He is used to being sent, and Liang Shan has accepted Zhao'an, and subconsciously regards himself as an official existence, so he feels that Chai Daguan is not handling things properly.
Where did Zhu Gui know the thoughts of Chai Daguan?
He still judged the importance of the person according to his experience and habits, and he didn't know at all that Chai Daguan was not very kind to see the top magnates in Bianliang.
Anyway, he agreed to see Mr. Wen's side......
When Mr. Wen set foot on the land of Liangshan Village, he was also shocked by the great changes in this village, which was a pure barracks.
When he saw Chai Daguan, Mr. Wen said bluntly: "Looking at the layout of Liangshan Village, the strength is quite amazing!" ”
Chai Daguan was noncommittal, his tone was not so friendly, and he sneered: "At the beginning, Mr. helped Liang Shan and Bianliang communicate about Zhao'an, and Mr. took the opportunity to never return, why has he become Tong Guan's doorman now?" ”
Wen surnamed middle-aged Confucian, is the Wen Zhaozhang who followed Gao Yu to conquer Liangshan and was captured, and the original work of the Water Margin boasted of the existence of talents who have passed through the heavens and latitudes.
This guy is also a person who can bend and stretch, he behaved very obediently when he was captured, and he was very good at giving advice to Liang Shan, but when the opportunity came, he immediately ran away without any nostalgia......
