Chapter 186: Liang Zhongshu
Liang Zhongshu is not easy, when a man reaches his status, which one is not spending all day and drinking, with a group of wives and concubines? This is not a problem of life style in the Great Song Dynasty, literati, can the affairs of literati be called messing with the relationship between men and women, this is called celebrity and romance!
Only he, Lord Liang, roars at home in Hedong, and raises a woman outside, and he has to be sneaky like a thief, which makes the dignified Beijing Daimyo's Mansion embarrassed!
But who made his father-in-law the Taishi Cai Jing? Who let the old man fly with him all the way? Otherwise, he would not know which poor country to be the magistrate of the county.
If you have gains, you will lose something!
Liang Zhongshu shook his head and sighed, rubbed his sore waist, his legs were as heavy as lead, leaned against the wall, and came to the study.
The study was lit up, and through the window paper, you could see a figure sitting at the desk, and the back was quite similar to Liang Zhongshu.
Liang Zhongshu knocked on the door three times rhythmically, and the figure in front of the desk hurriedly ran over to open the door, this was a servant of similar shape to him, with two big black eyes.
"Zhou An, go to sleep!" Liang Zhongshu waved his hand and asked the stand-in servant to go down.
The servant Zhou An didn't leave, and said: "Last night, the concierge sent a letter, saying that it was an urgent military situation sent by Gaotang Prefecture, and the villain was worried that someone would find out that it had leaked, so he asked the concierge to put the letter at the door, and only after he left, did he go out to pick it up." ”
Following the direction of Zhou An's finger, sure enough, there was a letter on the desk, he walked over and took a look, the fire paint was thrown on, disassembled, and waved his hand silently, letting Zhou An go out.
After reading the letter, he slapped the letter on the table and said angrily: "Bold thieves, it's just enough to make waves in Shandong, you dare to break into the rule of this official, attack the state capital, and loot the treasury, how can you be rampant!" Come on, please Li Cheng and Wenda come over! ”
Soon, it was dawn, and Li Cheng and Wen Da also came, and bowed to Liang Zhongshu after entering the house.
Liang Zhongshu looked at the two subordinates and was full of confidence in the extermination of Zhu Long.
Li Cheng is very tall, calm and calm, and has a bit of Confucian temperament. Wenda has a stout figure, a Chinese face, and a steel needle, not angry and arrogant. Both of them have the courage of ten thousand people and are famous generals in Hebei.
He was sitting in a precarious position, dignified, coughed first, cleared his throat, and said: "Gao Lian from Gaotang Prefecture sent a letter, saying that Shandong Zhulong, invaded Lingzhou, Hebei, broke the city, looted the official mansion, and tried in vain to attack Gaotang Prefecture, Gao Lian has repelled them, but the casualties are heavy, and he is powerless to prevent them from retreating, please send troops to help." ”
"Humph! It's just that this Zhulong is arrogant in Dongping Mansion, and he dares to come to my Hebei realm to be rampant, and underestimate my Hebei hero! My lord, please let the last general bring a detachment of men and horses and capture him! Wenda said angrily.
The Daimyo Mansion is in the southwest of Dongping Prefecture, and the two prefectures are adjacent to each other, and it is Shouzhang County, where Zhujiazhuang is located, that borders the Daimyo Mansion.
Li Cheng thought for a while and said, "My lord, can we go straight to Zhujiazhuang and copy Zhulong's lair?" ”
Liang Zhongshu's eyes lit up, then he shook his head again, and said: "General Li's idea is not bad, but Dongping Mansion is not under my jurisdiction, and I can't cross the border to suppress thieves without authorization, otherwise someone in the DPRK and China will impeach this official!" The two of you will take 3,000 cavalry and go to Gaotang Prefecture to help fight Gao Lian! Let's go, don't delay! ”
"Yes!"
The two were about to retire, when Liang Zhongshu suddenly shouted: "Wait! Remember, if Zhu Long or the leader of the thief army is captured alive, he will be taken to the Daimyo's Mansion and not handed over to Gao Lian, which is what he promised me in his letter! ”
"The last general understands!"
After Li Cheng and Wenda left, a noble lady with still charm, red face, and jewels came in, followed by a few maids, holding a bowl of soup in their hands.
"Madame, you're here!" Liang Zhongshu hurriedly greeted him, this is his wife Mrs. Cai, Cai Jing's daughter.
Mrs. Cai said angrily: "Master, you are always so dedicated to business, and you don't rest at night, how can your body and bones be able to eat, look at you, your face is pale, your body is too weak, drink this bowl of nourishing soup!" ”
"Hey, I'm busy with official business, there's no way, I can't let others gossip about my father-in-law, I have to fight for his old man!"
Mrs. Cai was moved, and said gently: "Then you also have to pay attention to your body, how long have we not been in the room to sleep obediently tonight...... That's it! ”
Liang Zhongshu, who had run out of ammunition and food, was frightened and stammered: "Madam, in two days, there are still many things to do for the husband......
"Hmph, don't try to escape tonight!" Mrs. Cai pointed at Liang Zhongshu's brain, and Liang Zhongshu felt weak and weak.
……
After Pegasus, the land in front of you is vast, vast and majestic, and the cold north wind rolls up the flag.
I wish the dragon to ride on a horse, look out, and have the lofty ambition of "who is the lord of the vast earth" in his chest.
At this moment, he wanted to turn the pride in his chest into an impassioned poem and express it, just like Cao Mengde chanted a song "East to the Jieshi to watch the sea"!
It's a pity that cultural knowledge does not allow it!
was hesitating to cheekily plagiarize a poem of a great man of later generations, and suddenly several horses galloped in front of him, and the young military general led by Zeng Sheng, the fifth elder of the Zeng family.
He immediately clasped his fists and saluted, saying, "My lord, Gao Lian intercepts our army in front!" ”
"Cheap?" Zhu Long was very surprised, he couldn't find him anywhere, and he didn't expect to be waiting for him here.
"Let's go, let's see!" He slapped his war horse and ran to the front, Lin Chong, Qin Ming, Bian Xiang, Su Ding, and Lu Fang followed him, Ou Peng, Ma Lin, and followed with a cavalry battalion, and Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, Wei Dingguo, and Bao Xu continued to escort the convoy.
Zhu Long ran for four or five miles, and sure enough, there was a group of officers and soldiers on the main road in front of him who stopped the middle, and the number of people was not very large, only more than 2,000 people.
The four hundred cavalry of the Zhu family army were facing each other on the side, Shi Wengong and the Zeng brothers came up, and the eldest Zeng Tu asked for battle and said: "Lord." Please let me lead someone to scatter them! ”
Zhu Long shook his head and said, "Brother Zeng Tu, don't be impatient!" ”
Gao Lian, who was disabled, still had the courage to block the Zhu family's army, which was too unreasonable. When things go wrong, there must be demons, and Gao Lian is either full of confidence in his subordinates, or he has strong reinforcements.
He slapped his horse and stepped forward, carefully observing the weapons and morale of the officers and soldiers, these officers and soldiers looked nervous, and they also had spears, shields, bows and crossbows in their hands, and there were no strange weapons in the shape of long iron pipes, Zhu Long breathed a sigh of relief, Gao Lian was still the same Gao Lian, it seemed that he had come to reinforce the troops.
Could it be the 4,000 guards in Gaotang Prefecture? It is quite possible that there were also those cavalry who fled, nearly two thousand horsemen, although they were broken, but they were still a force to be reckoned with.
Zhu Long turned back to Zeng Tu and said, "You send all your men out to search and expand the range, is there an ambush nearby?" ”
He said to Lu Fang again: "You go and tell Lu Zhishen and Wu Song, let them speed up, and then remind Zhu Hu and Hua Rong, let them be careful behind their backs!" ”
Lu Fang left, Lin Chong, Qin Ming, Shi Wengong, Bian Xiang, Zeng brothers and other generals talked a lot, all curious about how Gao Lian was so brave, as soon as Lu Zhishen's Xuanwu army arrived, these two thousand people must not be crushed into ashes?
Zhu Long was looking at the phalanx of officers and soldiers, thinking about how to break the formation in the simplest way, when suddenly there was a sound of horses' hooves behind him, and he looked back and saw that Lu Fang, who had just left, was back again, and his always cold face was a little anxious.
"Oh no, Ou Peng and Ma Lin were captured by officers and soldiers!"
