For Chu Yi, Liu Tang and the Ruan brothers have a deep memory, after they robbed the Shengchengang, the imperial court sent Chu Yi to investigate the Shengchengang case, it was because of Chu Yi that they had to leave their hometown and chose to come to this Shuibo Liangshan to fall into the grass.

Although it is said that the days of eating meat and drinking in a big bowl are very refreshing, when I think of my identity and dream back at midnight, my heart is a little uncomfortable after all.

It's not that everyone is born willing to be a thief, but now they are regarded as thieves by the world, and it was Chu Yi who caused all this.

Of course, the Ruan brothers, Liu Tang and others don't think that they are where they are today because of themselves, or that they understand it deep down, but they don't want to admit it.

Therefore, for Chu Yi, everyone including Chao Gai had a strange feeling in their hearts, if the imperial court sent other officials to come, everyone would not have such a reaction, but now it is Chu Yi who is sent, and it is not unusual for the Ruan brothers and others to clamor to deal with Chu Yi.

Even Song Jiang, who had always seemed very calm, had a somewhat strange look on his face at this time, his face was a little flushed, and his eyes showed a bit of hatred.

Song Jiang is in the county government, and he is doing a good job, especially when he knows the trust of Wenbin in the county, if he goes on like this, Song Jiang will still have a promising future in the future, but as a result, he made a mistake, and he became one of the most wanted criminals in the imperial court.

Many of the leaders present obviously noticed the reactions of Chao Gai, Song Jiang and others, and couldn't help but feel a little curious.

Chu Yi can indeed be said to be notorious, but many of the leaders present don't know Chu Yi too well.

After all, some people don't pay so much attention to the news from the outside world, at least among the many leaders present, a small half don't know Chu Yi very well, although when it comes to Chu Yi's name, everyone knows that this is a famous traitor, and it is said that he is the number one traitor in the court, bewitching the Son of Heaven and harming the people. Anyway, apart from evil things, nothing good has ever been done.

The hall was filled with all kinds of discussions, and it was a mess when you said a word, and at this time, I could only hear Chao Gai, who was sitting in the first place, coughing lightly: "Everyone, please listen to me." ”

Finally, everyone quieted down, and everyone's eyes fell on Chao Gai.

Chao Gai looked at Zhu Gui and said, "Brother Zhu Gui, you go on!" ”

Zhu Gui took a deep breath and continued: "The imperial court has sent Chu Yi and Hu Yanzhuo to lead the army this time, and tens of thousands of troops are coming towards our Shuibo Liangshan at a very fast speed under the command of the two, and judging by their speed, they can arrive in a few days at most. ”

Many people couldn't help but gasp when they heard this, and their faces showed a bit of solemnity.

They knew very well that with the speed of the imperial court's response, it was said that under normal circumstances, it would not be realistic to take two or three months from the decision to send troops to the arrival of the army.

But now that they have defeated Qin Ming, Xuanzan and others, it has only been more than half a month, and as a result, the imperial court has reacted so quickly, and the second wave of troops has already arrived.

If you give them another two or three months, I dare not say that there is no problem that Liangshan's strength can at least increase by three or five percent, but now it is obviously impossible.

Everyone stared at Zhu Gui, but Zhu Gui said with a solemn expression at this time: "Brother, this time the imperial court has sent the most elite team led by Hu Yanzhuo, but we have to deal with it carefully." ”

Gongsun Sheng first glanced at Wu Yong, and said slowly: "If I remember correctly, Hu Yanzhuo has a chain of horse cavalry under his command, which can be said to be extremely strong, and the idle foot soldiers will be defeated if they can't withstand a wave of their impacts." ”

Among the leaders, there are almost no people who know anything about military affairs, and they can hear Li Kui, who is like black charcoal, patting his chest and shouting: "It's just a group of cavalry, Grandpa Li Kui has an axe on the left and an axe on the right, and they are all cut down to ......."

Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard this, and Song Jiang couldn't help but scold Li Kui when he saw Li Kui making a joke: "Tie Niu, be careful!" ”

Li Kui suddenly drooped his head, looking aggrieved.

However, Song Jiang, as the chief of the yamen, is also a person in the officialdom, especially Song Jiang is not the kind of official who has no pursuit, so he is still quite concerned about the general trend of the world, and it is precisely because of the beginning that Song Jiang knows the power of Hu Yanzhuo's cavalry team better than many people.

If Liangshan has no way to deal with a cavalry team, then once they fight, I am afraid that they will be defeated at that time.

It was obviously unrealistic to expect the leaders present to come up with any solution, even Chao Gai knew this in his heart.

Therefore, after informing the leaders of the news that the imperial army was about to be killed, Chao Gai did not leave everyone behind, but just ordered the leaders to go down and seize the time to train their subordinates, and strive to improve their strength before the imperial army arrived.

There were a few people left in the Juyi Hall, including Song Jiang, Qin Ming, Wu Song, Gongsun Sheng and others.

Except for Qin Ming, who has recently surrendered, the others can be said to be the core of Liangshan. If these people are killed, then Liang Shan is afraid that he will also collapse.

Sitting there, Chao Gai looked at Song Jiang and said, "Brother Song Jiangxian, is it true that the serial horse cavalry is so powerful?" ”

Song Jiang smiled bitterly: "It's not just powerful, if there is no way to crack it, that chain horse alone is enough to level my Liangshan." ”

Qin Ming, as a general, was standing there at the moment, and after listening to Song Jiang's words, Chao Gai said to Qin Ming: "General Qin, come and see, is that serial horse really as Song Jiangxian's brother said?" ”

Qin Ming nodded slightly, looked at Chao Gai and said, "As Brother Song Jiang said, if there is no way to deal with it, we will definitely lose!" ”

Brushing his beard, Wu Yong looked at Qin Ming and said, "General Qin Ming, do you have a way to break that chain of horses?" ”

Qin Ming hesitated slightly, and Song Jiang on the side looked at it and said, "Brother Qin Ming, now everyone is a family, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”

Qin Ming said slowly, "If you want to say that there are almost no flaws in the chain of horses, it is not so easy to really break the formation, but as the so-called all things are born, there is always a way to live and regulate, there is a person in the capital, but he can use a hook and sickle gun, which is the nemesis of the chain horse, if this person can be found, my Liangshan soldiers have learned the method of hook and sickle, and they will definitely be able to break the chain of horses." ”

Hearing this, everyone's eyes couldn't help but light up, and Chao Gai slapped the table and said: "Okay, as long as there is a way to break the chain of horses, I don't know which hero is proficient in the hook and sickle, I Liangshan should sincerely ask for it, and be sure to ask the other party to teach me the method of the hook and sickle to me Liangshan." ”

Everyone had a little smile on their faces, they were afraid that there was no way to solve the problem, and now that there is a way to solve it, everyone is naturally relieved.

Even Song Jiang also looked at Qin Ming with a happy face and said: "Qin Ming, let's talk about it, which hero is it, Song Mou should personally go to invite him to show my sincerity in Liangshan!" ”

However, Qin Ming shook his head with a wry smile and said, "It's impossible to want this person to teach us the method of hooking and sickling the spear to Liangshan."

Chao Gai raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you mean, could it be that that person has any special identity?" ”

Qin Ming glanced at everyone and said, "This person's name is Xu Ning, he is the head of the Golden Gun Class, and his family tradition hook and sickle technique is ......."

"Wait, Xu Ning? Why does this name sound so familiar? ”

Wu stroked his beard and said with a puzzled expression.

Gongsun Sheng said with a wry smile on his face: "I never thought it would be this person, no wonder General Qin Ming said that we are afraid that we will not be able to ask this person for help." ”

Suddenly, Wu Yong shouted: "It's him, Xu Ning is now a member of Chu Yi in Dongchang, and he is extremely famous in the rivers and lakes, and he can be regarded as one of the several eagle dogs under Chu Yi, and he is loyal ......to Chu Yi."

"What? It turned out to be Chu Yi's subordinates! ”

Only now did Chao Gai and a few people understand why Qin Ming would be like that, Xu Ning was one of Chu Yi's several loyal dogs, and Chu Yi was the army supervisor who came to exterminate them this time, and it was simply impossible for Xu Ning to teach them the hook and sickle technique to fight against Hu Yanzhuo's chain of horses.

Even Wu Yong, who was known as resourceful, was blind for a while, and the conspiracies and tricks flashed in his mind, but they were vetoed one by one, because he found that if he wanted to deal with Xu Ning, none of his vicious methods could be used.

Chao Gai looked at everyone's expressions in his eyes, frowned, and said: "I don't believe that there is no other way in the world to break the chain of horses except Xu Ning's hook and sickle technique, pass the order and let the brothers inquire about me, but someone has a way to break Hu Yanzhuo's chain of horses." ”

Here, Liangshan got the news and was busy trying to meet the battle, and Chu Yi and Hu Yanzhuo also led the army to march towards Liangshan.

Hu Yanzhuo is an acute temper, according to his requirements, the army rushed to Shuibo Liangshan that day and night, but Chu Yi, as the supervising army, did not agree to Hu Yanzhuo's suggestion but marched normally, but under Hu Yanzhuo's supervision, even if it was a normal march, the marching speed was much faster than normal.

On this day, tens of thousands of troops entered Qingping Town.

Qingping Town is not big, it can't accommodate tens of thousands of troops at all, and outside Qingping Town is a vast body of water, not Liangshan Shuibo and where it is.

Liangshan Shuibo is hundreds of miles in circumference, only through the waterway can you climb that Liangshan, and Liangshan Shuibo is the center, surrounded by dozens of large towns, Qingping Town is one of many towns.

The army is stationed in Qingping Town, and in Chu Yi's view, the hard disk that Hu Yanzhuo has laid down is also decent, although it is not a famous general, at least it is not a mediocre talent, but it is enough to deal with Liangshan.

His gaze swept over the team of almost hundreds of tall horses, all of which were carefully selected war horses, which were the chain horses of one of Hu Yanzhuo's strongest hole cards.

The chain of horses connected the war horses together with iron chains, and hundreds of war horses ran together, really rampage like an iron wall, and few people could resist it.

Yang Zhi, who was standing beside Chu Yi, noticed that Chu Yi's gaze fell on the chain of horses, and he couldn't help but show a little envy and said: "Hu Yanzhuo is worthy of being one of the pillars of the Huyan family's generation, and these hundreds of war horses alone are not something that ordinary people can gather. ”

Chu Yi nodded slightly and said: "The Great Song Dynasty itself lacks suitable war horses, not to mention hundreds of elites, if the Huyan family doesn't have some background, they really can't get so many war horses out." ”

While he was talking, he saw a figure walking out of the handsome tent, who was not Hu Yanzhuo.

Hu Yanzhuo's eyes swept and saw Chu Yi and a few people, striding towards Chu Yi and a few people.

When he got closer, Hu Yanzhuo looked at Chu Yi and said, "Chu Jian Jun, dare to follow me to explore the bottom of Shuibo Liang Mountain!" ”

Chu Yi smiled slightly and said: "Since General Huyan has this Yaxing, Chu should accompany him!" ”

A small boat was moving forward on the water, and standing on the bow of the boat were Chu Yi and Hu Yanzhuo.

Along the way, Chu Yi gradually won Hu Yanzhuo's recognition in terms of ability and bearing, and coupled with Yang Zhi's wandering away, Hu Yanzhuo's attitude towards Chu Yi can be said to have undergone earth-shaking changes.

Although he still holds the shelf when facing Chu Yi, this is just that Hu Yanzhuo can't let go, in fact, he still admires Chu Yi's ability in his heart.

During the march, Chu Yi did not criticize Hu Yanzhuo, but this did not prevent Chu Yi from teaching and commenting on Yang Zhi, Lin Chong and others on Hu Yanzhuo's method of leading the army.

At the beginning, Hu Yanzhuo was very disdainful, in Hu Yanzhuo's opinion, Chu Yi was just an internal servant, how could he know anything about leading the army, so he looked down on Chu Yi very much.

But does Chu Yi really not understand the method of leading the army? If you really want to talk about it, if you really talk about the ability to command troops, there are really few people who can compare with Chu Yi.

Especially after Chu Yi made various evaluations of his army command, camping, etc., and put forward the advantages and disadvantages and ways to improve, Hu Yanzhuo was speechless, and he couldn't refute Chu Yi's evaluation at all.

This made Hu Yanzhuo realize that Chu Yi was not like the prison army he knew, almost all the prison army could be said to know nothing about military affairs, and the prison army in the world such as Tong Guan and Chu Yi were simply rare.

With his own ability, Hu Yanzhuo didn't say anything, but in his heart he was very impressed with Chu Yi, if it weren't for that, he would come out to check the enemy's situation this time, and with Hu Yanzhuo's pride, it would be impossible to invite Chu Yi to come with him.

As far as the eye can see, the surrounding endless water surface is full of dense reeds, but fortunately these reeds are now green and lush, if it is the autumn withering season, a fire will go down, I am afraid that this piece of water will turn into a purgatory.

Pointing to the looming Liangshan in front of him, Hu Yanzhuo couldn't help but sigh: "What a Liangshan water, the terrain here is simply too good, as long as an elite sailor is in hand, relying on this hundreds of miles of water, it is enough to resist a hundred thousand troops, if this Liangshan thief is allowed to sit big, he will inevitably be a big trouble for the imperial court in the future." ”

Chu Yi just smiled and said nothing, Hu Yanzhuo didn't know when he saw this, Chu Yi had a different opinion on him, and this was not the first time Hu Yanzhuo had encountered this.

As Hu Yanzhuo's deputy general, Yum General Han Tao naturally observed his words and feelings, and cooperated with Hu Yanzhuo very tacitly, so he heard Han Tao say to Chu Yi: "Could it be that Chu Jian Jun has any different opinions?" ”

Chu Yi chuckled lightly, stood with his hands behind his back, and the breeze came slowly, blowing Chu Yi's clothes, lining Chu Yi's very different bearing, even Han Tao and Hu Yanzhuo were deeply amazed.

Hearing this, Chu Yi said lightly: "Liangshan Shuibo is just a Jedi, this water area with a radius of hundreds of miles is indeed the barrier of Liangshan, but it is not the prison cage of Liangshan." ”

Hu Yanzhuo was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "Prison cage, prison cage, hahaha......"

Chu Yi and Hu Yanzhuo, who appeared in Liangshan in such an undisguised boat, naturally couldn't escape Liang Shan's eyes.

Chao Gai and the others, who got the news, were excited to learn that Chu Yi and Hu Yanzhuo were floating in the water by boat.

Immediately, Chao Gai lit up hundreds of elites and more than a dozen powerful leaders, and took a dozen small boats to rush towards Chu Yi and Hu Yanzhuo at the fastest speed.

Headed by Chao Gai, such as the Ruan brothers, Gongsun Sheng, and there are people who are outstanding in cultivation among the leaders, such as Li Ying, Jiao Ting, Xiao Wenhou, Lu Fang, and in addition, there is a big man standing beside Chao Gai, a bad aura is permeated, and the breath is not much worse than Chao Gai, at first glance, he is a fierce general, even if it is Qin Ming, who is standing next to Song Jiang, he can't help but look at this person frequently.

A pair of open axes in his hands, coupled with his burly figure, set off Bian Xiang as if the evil of the past was reborn.

This person is no one else, but it is the general Bian Xiang who came in the name of Chao Gai to rob the birth gang, and his cultivation is strong, looking at Liangshan, I am afraid that there are no more than a few hands that can beat him.

Coupled with Wu Song, who stood beside Song Jiang without saying a word, and was as powerful as a god, it can be said that in order to deal with Chu Yi this time, Chao Gai brought all the Liangshan powerhouses who could handle it.
