"It's quite a lot!" Zhang Shuo clenched his fists and said: "Xiaguan is mainly to lure away the thieves in Liangshan this time, and he must not be able to take too many people, otherwise those thieves will not dare to go." Therefore, the manpower of 800 is neither too much nor too small, which is almost enough to deal with the thieves in Liangshan. ”

"If only you had a good idea!" Cai Jiu nodded when he heard this, and didn't say anything more.

Zhang Shuo couldn't help but ask, "Then the lord allowed the lower official to leave?" ”

"Just go to the capital prison, just hand over the Jiangzhou Mansion to the Mansion!" Cai Jiu smiled and nodded in agreement, after all, if the Liangshan thieves could be lured away, then Jiangzhou would also be safer. Jiangzhou is safe, that is, his safety.

"Thank you, sir!" Zhang Shuo got up and saluted with great joy, and he was able to get the consent of the prefect Cai Jiu, and he had no reason to be unhappy. After all, he is now an official in the Song Dynasty system, and if he doesn't say goodbye, he doesn't know if his identity can be preserved, so he doesn't dare to take risks, and would rather come over to persuade the prefect Cai Jiu.

After chatting with the prefect Cai Jiu for a while, Zhang Shuo said goodbye and left, and returned to the barracks.

As soon as he returned to the barracks, Zhang Shuo came to the place where Song Jiang and Dai Zong were being held, and after finding that they were fine under the supervision of Jin Fei and Ren Xia, he took Jin Fei and Ren Xia out of the prison and found Zhang Yao, the deputy capital supervisor.

After letting Zhang Yao sit down and speak, Zhang Shuo said: "Zhang Yao, this official asked you, how many soldiers are there in the barracks now?" ”

Zhang Yao clenched his fists and replied: "Lord Hui, I lost four hundred and thirty-eight people before, and now there are two thousand five hundred and sixty-two soldiers left. ”

"So much to lose?" Zhang Shuo frowned, thought for a while, and said, "Then do you know how many Liangshan thieves I killed in total?" How many Liangshan thieves are left today? ”

"A total of seven hundred and sixty-five Liangshan thieves were killed, and one hundred and thirteen people were captured!" Zhang Yao reported the number, then shook his head and said: "As for how many thieves are left in Liangshan, the lower officials are not very clear. It's just that when those thieves fled, there were still three or five hundred men. As for how many are outside the city, I don't know. ”

"Not too much!" Zhang Shuo couldn't help but bow his head and ponder when he heard this, and after a while, he raised his head and said: "You will send a hundred men to the city to search for the accomplices of the Liangshan bandits, and then take 1,600 men, and each city gate will send 400 men to prevent the Liangshan bandits from attacking the city." Respond to each other and be ready to support the other gates. ”

"Yes!" Zhang Yao answered, got up and saluted, and then said goodbye and left.

As soon as Zhang Yao left, Jin Fei said loudly: "Zhang Shuo, what are you going to do?" ”

"Guard the city gate to prevent the people of Liangshan from attacking the city!" After looking at the two of them, Zhang Shuo did not choose to hide it.

"If the people of Liangshan attack the city, then things will be very bad!" Ren Xia listened with a sad face, if she really attacked the city, her life safety would definitely be challenged.

"So I decided to run!" Zhang Shuo looked at the two of them with a smile on his face and said, "In two days, as soon as I get the news that Liangshan is preparing to attack the city, I will immediately take Song Jiang and Dai Zong and run away and leave this Jiangzhou City." ”

"Where can you go?" Jin Fei shook his head and said: "If you really attack the city, people will definitely block the vicinity, even if you want to run, I'm afraid there won't be much chance." ”

"With about 800 to 1,000 soldiers, I can fight my way out." Zhang Shuo said with a smile: "Even if it doesn't work, at most I will run away by myself at that time, anyway, I don't believe it, they can stop me." ”

Ren Xia said loudly: "What about your task?" ”

"Of course it's abandoned, where the mission is life-threatening." Zhang Shuo smiled, not seeing his mission come out. His mission is to protect Jiangzhou City, as long as most of Liangshan's attention is diverted, then there should be no problem with the safety of Jiangzhou City, and there is no need to talk about the task.

After looking at Zhang Shuo seriously, Ren Xia shook his head and said, "You are not the kind of person who will give up the task easily, you must have some plans, right?" ”

"Are you sure you know me well?" Zhang Shuo raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Ren Xia, we don't seem to be so familiar, right?" But if you really want to know more about me, we can have a good exchange at night, although you don't look very good, but your figure is still great! ”

"Die!" Ren Xia snorted, gestured with her middle finger and said, "Just like you, you still want to go to the old lady, don't even think about it." ”

"I'm a member of the Appearance Association, and if it weren't for your good figure, I wouldn't have bothered to look at you." After looking at Ren Xia, Zhang Shuo pursed his lips disdainfully, and directly chose to ignore her middle finger.

"Ahem! Cough! Seeing what Ren Xia was going to say, Jin Fei quickly coughed twice, and after seeing that both of them were looking at him, he said: "Can you two be serious, your main quest has not been completed yet, are you ready to give up like this?" ”

"Humph!" Ren Xia snorted coldly, and after glancing at Zhang Shuo with disdain, she said, "Give up the main quest?" It's impossible, and until the last minute, you still have to try anything. ”

"I don't want to give up the main quest if I can!" Ignoring Ren Xia's eyes, Zhang Shuo pretended to say that he had plans for the main quest now, but he wouldn't tell these two people, of course he still had to pretend to be what he should pretend.

"Since you're not ready to give up, do you still want to leave?" Jin Feihu looked at Zhang Shuo suspiciously, very suspicious of his plans.

"Hehe" Zhang Shuo shrugged his shoulders when he saw this, but he didn't say anything more.

"Zhang Shuo, you must have some plans, right?" Seeing this, Ren Xia frowned and said, "Now everyone is a grasshopper on a rope, if you have any plans, you can tell us about it." ”

"Grasshoppers on a rope?" Hearing this, Zhang Shuo pouted and said: "Don't say it so nicely, I don't know what the task of the two of you is, and the grasshopper on a rope, when the time comes, don't hold me back, or give me a knife in the back." ”

"We said that our mission is to kill someone over there in Liangshan!" Ren Xia frowned and said, "I don't think it's necessary to say who it is." What's more, Jin Fei and I don't know what your task is, so we haven't asked you yet. ”

"Kill someone over there in Liangshan?" Zhang Shuo looked at the two of them, shook his head and said, "My task is really different from yours, and I won't say what it is." I have already decided to leave with Song Jiang and Dai Zong in two days, and I will talk about the rest at that time. ”

"Then I'll go with you then!" Hearing this, Jin Fei said directly: "If you leave with Song Jiang and Dai Zong, those people over there in Liangshan will definitely chase after you, and if I go with you, the main quest will be better completed." ”

Glancing at Jin Fei, Ren Xia also said: "Then I'll go with it, it's too dangerous to be alone in Jiangzhou, it's better to follow you, at least it's safer!" ”

"Okay, if you're willing to follow, then follow!" After looking at the two of them seriously, Zhang Shuo agreed with a smile. Although he didn't know what the two men's intentions were, it should be certain that they wouldn't be hostile to him. As long as it doesn't get in the way of his mission, everything doesn't matter.

"So be it!" Jin Fei said and got up to say hello, and turned to leave.

"Wait a minute!" Ren Xia called out and left.

Looking at the figures of the two leaving, Zhang Shuo shook his head with a smile, got up and returned to the room that belonged to him, and continued to practice the chopping skill.

The next day, while practicing the chopping skill, Zhang Shuo paid attention to whether there were a large number of people from Liangshan outside the city attacking the city.

Things were not what he imagined, originally he thought that there would be bandits attacking the city, but at the end of the day, it was calm and nothing happened.

Zhang Shuo was very uneasy about this strange situation, and his task was to protect Jiangzhou City for seven days, that is, there would definitely be conflicts. Now that three days have passed, he doesn't believe anything to say that the next four days will be able to pass in such peace.

When the fourth day was still calm, Zhang Shuo knew that the storm was coming, and there were only three days left, and it was impossible to spend it so safely.

On the morning of the fifth day, Zhang Shuo found Zhang Yao, the deputy superintendent of soldiers and horses, and after making arrangements in a whisper, he let him leave.

An hour later, Zhang Shuo looked at the eight hundred soldiers gathered, nodded with satisfaction, looked at Song Jiang and Dai Zong, who were being held in the prisoner car, mounted their horses, and walked at the front of the team.

Jiangzhou City is surrounded by water on three sides, so the brigade can only walk by the only avenue and leave the boundary of Jiangzhou Mansion.

Jin Fei, who was also riding on horseback, turned his head to look at Jiangzhou City, which was not getting smaller, and shook his head and said to himself: "I don't know if those people from Liangshan will attack Jiangzhou City?" ”

"Probably will?!" Zhang Shuo said uncertainly, he was really not sure whether those people in Liangshan would attack Jiangzhou City, after all, he had taken over the task, and the possibility of attacking was very high. However, he is not worried, if the mission fails because of this, then he will directly kill Song Jiang or Dai Zong, no matter what, the loss must be compensated for some back.

"Where are we going?" Ren Xia looked at the mountain peaks in the distance and said, "Are you really going to the capital?" ”

"I don't know!" Zhang Shuo shrugged his shoulders and said, "I believe that those people in Liangshan will catch up, and when they intercept us, then our journey will stop." ”

"That's going to be at least half a day!" Hearing this, Jin Fei said: "They are not stupid, they must wait until we leave the range of Jiangzhou City, otherwise as soon as the reinforcements arrive, their losses will definitely become greater." (To be continued.) )
