Because of the proximity, Cheng Wanli got the news earlier than Hu Yanzhuo.

In the early morning of the second day when the Zhujia army evacuated Dongping Mansion, he met with several former subordinates who came to tell the news.

"Hahaha, give me a lot of credit!"

Cheng Wanli feels that he has been really lucky recently!

First of all, he succeeded in throwing the pot, Dongping Mansion was lost, not only did he have no fault, but also had merit, and his official rank was promoted to Taizhong Doctor from the fourth grade.

Doctor Taizhong is only a high-ranking official and has no real position, but at least his official rank has been upgraded by one level, and his salary has also increased.

Since he has merit and no fault, the responsibility is naturally all over.

In the court, Emperor Daojun was furious and wanted to escort Guan Sheng back to Beijing and punish him severely.

It's ridiculous that there is no one in the Guansheng Dynasty, the news is not well-informed at all, and the catastrophe is coming, and he still actively arranges defenses, trains soldiers, and thinks about recovering Dongping Mansion and atonement for his crimes.

Hehe, this kind of person will never want to gain a foothold in the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty!

I don't know how ridiculous it is to cling to the powerful, not to find a backer in the court, and to work silently and wait for promotion!

Seeing that Cheng Wanli was silent, Master He next to him reminded him: "My lord, this Guan Sheng must not know that Zhulong's army has evacuated Dongping Mansion, you can personally lead the army to recover Dongping Mansion, don't give him this credit!" ”

"Of course! I will now relieve him of his military power and personally lead the troops to recover Dongping Mansion!" Someone, call Guan Sheng! ”

Guan Sheng was training and preparing for war, and when he heard that Cheng Wanli sent someone to summon him, he handed over the matter at hand to Hao Siwen, and he came to the county yahoutang in Dong'e County, and when he saw Cheng Wanli and Master He, he bowed slightly and said, "My lord summoned his subordinates to come, what are your orders?" ”

Cheng Wanli said righteously: "Guan Dujian, lost Dongping Mansion, the official is heartbroken, he can't sleep at night, he is ashamed of his father, and he is ashamed of Li Min!" Today, the government wants to personally command the army and fight to the death with Zhu Long to recover Dongping Mansion! ”

Guan Sheng was stunned, what happened to this journey? He has long asked for troops to attack the Zhujia army and recover Dongping Mansion many times, he has always been afraid of war, and strictly forbade the dispatch of troops.

There must be something strange in this!

He straightened his chest and said loudly: "My lord, my subordinates are willing to be the forward!" ”

"Dong'e County is very important, there is no room for mistakes, there must be a general in charge, and the government can rest assured! Guan Dujian, you will take 500 soldiers to stay in Dong'e County, remember to be cautious, don't be careless! Cheng Wanli looked loyal to the public.

Guan Sheng couldn't believe his ears and let himself stay in Dong'e County? Cheng Wanli personally led the troops to the battle, isn't this a joke with the lives of the soldiers?

He earnestly dissuaded: "No! Your Excellency, you are a civil official! The battle is dangerous and extraordinary, please let your subordinates lead the troops forward, you can just sit in command of the Chinese army! ”

"Humph!" Cheng Wanli snorted coldly, his face was not good-looking, "Guan Sheng, are you looking at this mansion?" ”

"The subordinates don't dare!" Guan Sheng didn't dare to say it, but the expression on his face was revealed, and Cheng Wanli was even more angry when he saw it.

"Although this house is a scholar, it has also studied the war book and war strategy! Zaidongping Mansion was lost in your hands, how can you be sure to recover it? If you had the ability to take it back, you wouldn't have lost it in the first place! Cheng Wanli became more and more severe.

"You don't have to argue anymore, there are also officials and soldiers in Dong'e County, you select 500 people to defend the city, and I will take all the troops of Dongping Mansion away!"

"Yes!" Guan Sheng was very helpless, the Great Song Dynasty emphasized literature over military force, and the authority of civil officials was very heavy, and the military generals could not compete.

An hour later, Cheng Wanli led an army of 3,500, including 600 cavalry and 2,800 foot soldiers, waving banners and marching all the way to Dongping Mansion.

Guan Sheng and Hao Siwen stood on the empty wall of Dong'e County, looking at the distant army in front of them, and they didn't feel good in their hearts!

"Big brother, what is Cheng Wanli doing? Can he take down Dongping Mansion? Hao Siwen looked contemptuous and said: "There is a situation here, something must have happened, but we don't know!" ”

Guan Sheng nodded and said, "I heard that the imperial court has sent a large army to recover Dongping Mansion, but it is impossible to arrive so soon......

The two glanced at each other, and at the same time showed an expression of sudden realization, Hao Siwen slapped his thigh and said loudly: "It must be Zhu Long who led the army to meet the battle, Dongping Mansion is now in a state of no defense!" ”

Guan Sheng sneered, "No wonder Cheng Wanli dares to lead troops alone to recover Dongping Mansion, it turns out that it is now an empty city!" ”

"This old thief, he actually left the eldest brother, it is really ungrateful, if it wasn't for the eldest brother, he would have been captured by Zhu Long a long time ago! The army of Dongping Mansion has also collapsed, where is he now, where is the army? ”

Hao Siwen was indignant and pounded the wall with his fist.

Guan Sheng's face was extremely gloomy, almost dripping water, his fists were clenched, his bones were white, and he trembled slightly.

These days, he has been sleeping all night, training hard, hoping to recover Dongping Mansion and atone for his crimes.

However, he repeatedly asked to fight, but Cheng Wanli sternly rejected it.

In the end, Cheng Wanli secretly picked up a big bargain, but he didn't get anything.

It's too much of a deception!

Too much deception!!

As calm as he was, he couldn't help but roar angrily, and slammed his fist on the city wall.

Suddenly, he heard a sound of footsteps approaching, and turned his head to look, but it was Cheng Wanli's staff, Master He!

I saw him carrying a pot of wine and walking with a smile on his face.

Guan Sheng Hao Hao Siwen naturally didn't have a good face for him, turned his head, and didn't bother to pay attention to him.

"Two generals, why don't you have a drink?" Master He said with a smile.

Guan Sheng said coldly: "Guan Mou has the heavy responsibility of defending the city, and he doesn't dare to drink!" ”

Master He persuaded: "This is a happy wine!" ”

"Like wine? Is there anyone in the city who is married? ”

Master He shook his head and said, "No, this is a happy wine to celebrate my family's promotion to Taizhong Doctor!" ”

"Doctor Taizhong?" Guan Sheng Huo Di turned his head, stared at Master He with wide eyes and disbelief, and had a bad premonition in his heart, "Master Cheng lost the city and was guilty, how could he be promoted?" ”

"Guan Dujian, you still don't know?" Master He looked at him in surprise.

Hao Siwen arched his hand and said with a smile: "My brother is immersed in military affairs, and he doesn't know anything about it outside the window, so I ask Master He to tell me one or two, I am very grateful!" ”

"Hey, Guan Dujian is too sincere, and today's Great Song officialdom can't accommodate such people!"

Master He sighed and said: "Originally, as Cheng Darao's staff, I shouldn't have said these words, but Guan Dujian has worked hard to train the troops and is loyal to the public, and I really admire it in my eyes!" To tell you the truth, Guan Dujian is already in trouble! ”

The Zhujiazhuang of the Water Margin counterattacked
