The Liangshan strongman attack was premeditated, and the news was suppressed and not spread. But as soon as the militia in Hangang Town reported the situation, before they could react, the militia in Liangshan Town arrived and also cried that the town had been attacked.

This time, Jeju Zhiju Uncle Zhang couldn't sit still at night! Once you've figured out the situation, you're ready to go. When Wenbin was the magistrate of Yuncheng County, he didn't dare to slack off, and he had already jumped out to express his friendship. Chao Gai originally wanted to go, but on the wedding night, he was dissuaded.

Zhiduoxing Wu Yong, and the pharmacist Xiao Jiasui went on their behalf. Han Shizhong, Yu Tai, Li Yi and others will lead the team and divide the troops to help.

Military orders were conveyed everywhere, and Chaojiazhuang entered the first level of alert.

Not many people knew the news, and the Hall of Justice was still laughing.

The Liangshan attack was planned by Chao Gai and Zhu Wu, Xiao Zhang Liang and Xu Guanzhong, and more than a dozen teams attacked various state capitals.

The main reason is that Chao Gai wants to pull out those inferior gentry bullies who are starting to jump again, and secondly, to show the strength of Shuibo Liangshan, isn't it like playing to attack the surroundings? It is also to declare war with Chaojiazhuang and give a strong counterattack.

The timing was just right!

When the personnel were lax for more than a month, it was Chao Gai's wedding night. In Jeju, several market towns near Subo were attacked by Yangsan strongmen. Fortunately, Jeju Jang Shuye was a good official and adopted the advice made by Chao Gai during his visit to prevent the Yangsan thieves from taking the opportunity to attack everywhere and retaliate.

Sure enough, the Liangshan strongman made a move, and the attack was very ferocious.

Even if the cavalry of the Chao family was very effective, patrolling and guarding various towns and villages in a timely manner, and cooperating with the militia self-defense forces to resist bravely, several towns were also in danger. Especially in Liangshan Town, Muyang Town, when Zhang Shuye and Han Shizhong led reinforcements to arrive, the town had been breached, and the reinforcements had arrived.

Inside and outside, they killed the bandits and bandits, but did not hurt the people.

Towns everywhere put up stubborn resistance and held out until reinforcements arrived. saved the town from slaughter, but the strongman attack was routed, leaving hundreds of corpses behind.

Thanks to the preparation in advance, the crisis was overcome.

Uncle Zhang saw with his own eyes how fierce the strongmen of Liangshan were, they dared to play with their lives, scolded and scolded before they died, they were not afraid of death, they were outlaws.

This virtuous minister not only handled the affairs of his own state, but also led his team to other places to support. Unfortunately, the defense of other state capitals was lax, many villages and market towns were negligent in their defense, and many rich and powerful mansions were captured and plundered.

By the time reinforcements arrived, it was already too late!

According to statistics, a total of more than a dozen landlords were robbed by strongmen that night. The next day, when the governors of the state capitals learned the news, they blamed Chao on the head, saying that he had made too many moves to become a family and was seized by people.

This ridiculous excuse made Uncle Zhang laugh all night. He regretted leading the Chao family cavalry to run around for help, in exchange for not even saying thank you. There is only shirking responsibility after the incident, and there is only deceit.

Chao Gai had expected this to be the case, so he didn't bother to pay attention to it at all. After eating and drinking, he returned to the wedding room and played crazy with a few ladies and young couples. Not only do you know the action of splitting, but you also know the taste of wanting to stop.

The next day, it was the joy of last night's harvest.

The accumulation of the savings of more than a dozen landlords is very gratifying. More than one million yuan of gold, silver and money, several carts full of antiques, calligraphy and paintings, hundreds of thousands of stones of grain, livestock, pig iron and other materials are like mountains, which are quickly transferred through the village store.

At that time, the proposal of the financial crisis was correct, plundering the landlords and the inferior gentry to collect money. Now it has quietly attacked again, and Chaojiazhuang has made a small fortune.

Overnight, a number of state capitals were attacked, and the chief officials of each state capital posted notices to list the people, and at the same time ordered three shifts to strengthen patrols and arrest strongmen. It is a common trick to make the city full of wind and rain, thunder and rain.

Whether it is Yanzhou or Yunzhou, or Puzhou, Xiangzhou, and the governors of Xiangzhou dare not report to the imperial court. It was secretly reported again, and spent money to get through the relationship, trying to drag out time, turning big things into small things and small things.

Uncle Zhang hated the officialdom at night, and wanted to report to the court very much. But he didn't do it, because of his stubborn personality, he was unlikable, and after offending more others and being excluded, he struggled in officialdom.

People have concerns. He Uncle Zhang was no exception, and he could only sigh. However, I remembered Chao Gai's words that were in the same stream but did not fit in.

Liangshan strongmen attacked everywhere, and Chaojiazhuang announced to the outside world that it was at war. The Jinsha River wharf shouted to kill the sky, and the overwhelming fleet entered the water. The slogan of suppressing bandits in the city shook the sky, and the future generations joined the army in order to suppress the bandits......

The three forbidden military battalions under Yang Zhi were the first to be fully organized and put into training.

After the wedding in Chaojiazhuang, the guests said goodbye one after another and dispersed.

Xiao Li Guanghuarong from Qingzhou, Qin Ming of Thunderbolt Fire and Huang Xin of Zhensanshan came on leave, and they were busy with affairs, so they left the next day. Originally, Hua Rong wanted to go to see his brother Song Jiang, but in the end he held back.

Before leaving, Chao Gai gave each of them a good horse, a waist knife, and a lot of good wine, and Hua Rong had an extra treasure carving bow.

In the early morning, a group of cavalry left Chaojiazhuang from the east gate.

Chao Gai took a few ladies and the generals who were trapped in the battle and sent them out of the city for a few miles. Xiao Li Guanghuarong, Thunderbolt Fire Qin Ming, Zhensanshan Huang Xin said goodbye to everyone.

Hua Rong and his wife pulled Hua Zi to the side, and told him: "Little sister, you also marry your brother, it is your choice, and I will rest assured." Remember, if you get married, you are not allowed to mess around with your temperament in the future. ”

"yes, I see!" Hua Zi's beautiful eyes were red, obviously crying. Chao Gai quietly walked over and hugged the woman, solemnly assuring.

"Little sister, you won't be wronged."

"I can trust my brother as a person, little sister, I have time to go back and see more." Hua Rong was also very reluctant to leave, but he had no choice but to leave because he was on official business.

Thunderbolt fire Qin Ming, Zhensanshan Huang Xin also resigned to Chao Gai and others. Then he directly said things like a future visit, and the two sides shed tears.

Chao Gai saw more than ten people go away, so he led the team back, passing by the city lord's mansion, and happened to meet Zhiduoxing Wu Yong, and Xiao Jiasui, a pharmacist. Report on the results of the rectification of the Chao Mansion some time ago. During this time, I was busy with marriage and didn't care about it, but now that the marriage is over, I will bring up the old things again.

Chao Gai's face changed when he listened to the reports of the two military advisors, and he looked at the punishment list again and had no objections, but felt that it was not enough, and added: "This matter is very bad, and the whole army must be reported and the generals and officers can be present." If the situation is extremely heinous, the military commander shall be jointly and severally liable. ”

"My lord, joint and several liability? Isn't it? Wu Yong was a little unacceptable.

"Starting with myself, military regulations cannot be violated." Chao Gai couldn't see joy or anger on his face, but his voice was cold: "If you don't enforce it strictly, how can you deter others?" ”

"There is no one in the army to be strict!" Chao Gai is categorical and non-negotiable. Li Qingwan and Li Qingzhao originally wanted to persuade them a few words tactfully, but it can be seen that their men are resolute, and the words that come to their lips have stopped.

"Go ahead now, get ready! Even if I am guilty, I will be punished. ”

"Yes, let's do it!"

Wu Yong, Xiao Jiasui heard Chao Gai's tone, and knew that he couldn't change it and couldn't persuade him again, so he could only agree to it, and then turned around and left.

……

On the second day of August, the sun hung high, but it was no longer hot.

"Xu Guanren, the military advisor has an order, let's go, let's go down the mountain together."

In the Liangshan family compound, Xu Ning, the golden gunner, walked around with his three-year-old son, looked at the flower garden with full moon flowers, teased his son to babble, pricked his son with his beard from time to time, held the child high, and flew away.

The child was amused and giggled and danced. Not far away, under the willow tree, a beautiful woman with a loving face, smiling happily for the soles of her children's shoes.

This scene is warm and romantic, and it is also the daily life of Teacher Xu, a good man at home. However, Shi Jin, the nine-patterned dragon, Chen Da, the jumping tiger, and Yang Chun, the white-flowered snake, came and probed their brains at the door, breaking the atmosphere.

"It's coming, Dalang, you're so quick to react." Xu Ning saw the helpless smiles on the faces of the three of them, put his son on the small bed beside the woman, went back to change his clothes, and walked towards Shi Jin and the others with a mask in his hand.

"If you don't be active, you can't do it, the military order is issued, and you can't go if you don't go."

Before Shi Jin could speak, the door of the small courtyard opposite opened, Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi walked out and waved to Shi Jin, Xu Ning and others in the courtyard.

At this time, the door of the courtyard next door opened, and the leopard head Lin Chong said goodbye to his wife Zhang, put on an ordinary Fan Yang felt hat, and lowered his head: "Everyone must rush over, including a few cavalry commanders who have not long returned." ”

"That can't be helped! The elder brother set an example, and the military advisor told him that as long as he didn't walk the road, he must be there and witness the horror of joint and several responsibility. Ruan Xiaoqi is a rectal man, straightforward and fast-talking, pouting and shaking his head and sighing. Ben was about to continue talking, but was dragged by Ruan Xiaowu.

"Ah, what is Xiao Qi yelling outside? What's wrong with my son? ”

"Mother, I said that we all have to go down the mountain to the barracks so that we can see my brother." Ruan Xiaoqi stuck out his tongue and muttered, turned around and shouted into the house.

"When I see your brother tell him, come to the house for a meal."

"I know, I know, you didn't leave me to eat when I came."

"Your brother is a busy man, and he hasn't been to the house for a long time."

"Ouch, I just met two days ago, old lady, you are biased, outsiders saw it, thinking that we were picked up by you." Ruan Xiaoqi rolled his eyes when he heard the old lady's words, left a sentence, and pulled his brother out of the yard.

"What do you say, you little bunny? You little naughty can toss the most. ”

Sanruan's old lady rushed out of the house with an awl, pointed at Ruan Xiaoqi and scolded with a smile: "You are married and you don't know how to grow up, like a child." ”

"Mother, I'm not like this at home." Ruan Xiaoqi licked his face and patted his chest to reassure.

When everyone saw him so stupid, they couldn't help laughing.

Hearing the movement outside, Zhang Jiaotou and his wife, Ma Xian's brothers' father, Li Kui's wife and other old people walked out of the door one after another and said hello to each other.

And Ruan Xiaoqi waved at a few old guys, and beckoned everyone to go down the mountain. The dragon slayer Sun An, the evil god Shan Shiqi, and Saizhijie Bian Xiang joined the team successively. As you descend the mountain, the number of commanders gathered on the way increases dramatically.

When a military order is issued, all commanders must be present.

Except for a few Dazhai town defenders, the cavalry commanders who were about to leave delayed their departure one after another. It's just that the rectification of Chaofu is very involved and implicates Chao Gai. The generals of the water, infantry, cavalry, and garrison armies gathered in the barracks outside the city.
