Chapter 11 Before the officers and soldiers conquered Liangshan, Wu Song marched down to fight Huang'an

It is said that Yoon Chen Wenzhao, the governor of Yunzhou, is different from Jeju in the face of the difficulty of public fields. Originally from Liangshan Bo accumulation, the Yellow River water has been flooded repeatedly, the water surface has changed several times, the increase and decrease of acres of land has no form, and the land deed is quite chaotic. Chen Wenzhao is not a traitorous official, he has no choice but to avoid the important and make an article in the lake. One is that the products in the lake are miscellaneous taxes, which are temporary, and they are not collected much each time, and the livelihood of the people in Yunzhou has little impact; One is that the lake occupied by Yunzhou is small, and there are few fishermen in the state, so making an article in the lake is also a helpless plan to move the trouble to Jeju. However, Song Jiangchao Gai openly resisted the government, and Yunzhou could neither accept the water as an official property, nor collect the tax on the water out, so it was really difficult to make a difference. When I was feeling embarrassed, the emperor's edict had been issued, Yunzhou was promoted to Dongping Mansion, the mansion Yin was replaced by Cheng Wanli, and Chen Wenzhao was transferred, just to pick this difficult pick, which was the first year of Xuanhe.

Chen Wenzhao was born in the imperial examination, honest and capable, and cares about the people. This journey is very different from it, he was originally just a gentleman under Tong Guanmen, and he has always only known how to pat horses to cater to him. When he first served as the governor of Dongping Mansion, he heard that the Chao Gai Song Jiang brothers had an incident, and the tax revenue of the public land around the lake was not smooth, and the roar gathered in Liangshanbo, which caused the people of Dongping Mansion to resist taxes and donations, and they were very angry. However, Chao Gai Song Jiang and his gang were very brave, and they did not dare to clean it up by themselves, so they repaired an urgent document and reported it to Tong Guan.

Tong Guan saw the urgency, and knew that Chao Gai and Song Jiang were from Jeju, so he had a plan, and he was not in a hurry, and invited Cai Jing and Gao Yu to discuss together. How do you get along with Cai Jing and Tong Guan and Gao Yu? That Tong Guan was originally a eunuch, clever and charming, the first worship officer, in Hangzhou for the Daojun Emperor to collect calligraphy and painting KitKat, to help Cai Jing as the prime minister, and then Cai Jing recommended him as the Northwest Supervisor, leading the Privy Council, in charge of the military for more than ten years, the power inside and outside. He called Cai Jing "Gongxiang" and called him "Xiangxiang". Gao Yu was originally Su Shi's scholar, and the later privy councillors undertook Wang Xu, and because of his good bow, he was favored by Duan Wang Zhao Ji. After King Duan ascended the throne, he went to the opening of the palace with the three divisions. Keling Cai Jing is quite talented, Wang Anshi, Zhang Dian and Sima Guang are all called talented, but because of the strength of Tong Guan, Zhu Mian and others, they have gone up and down four times, and there are quite twists and turns, and then they are dependent on Wang Hao, Liang Shicheng, Gao Yu, Yang Jian, Li Yan and other traitors. When the new law is introduced, nothing has been accomplished, and the personality can no longer be guaranteed.

The Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty has always directly controlled the construction, mobilization and command of the army, and his military power is divided into three parts: "the privy is in charge of the military register, the tiger charm, the three yamen are in charge of the army, and the ministers are in charge of the army, and each has its own defense." At this time, Tong Guan was in charge of the Privy Council, and Gao Yu was in charge of the three yayas. Cai Jing is the head of the hundred officials led by the Taishi, and the Great Song Dynasty is known as a civil minister and a military officer, and now he wants to ask the emperor to send Uncle Zhang to discuss at night, Cai Jing and Uncle Ye have an old relationship, and Tong Guan and Gao Yu do not get along badly, so they are invited to discuss matters.

That Zhang Shuye liked to talk about the art of war since he was young, and when he grew up, he was appointed as the Lanzhou Record Officer to join the army with his father, and fought with Zhang Dian Shen Kuo and the Western Xia. Tong Guan knows that Uncle Ye is a famous general in the army, and he is powerful in the northwest. Cai Jing is also familiar with him because of Zhang Dun, but he was also angry with him because he was impeached by his younger brother Zhang Kegong, but he had a holiday.

The three of them invited Emperor Daojun to order Yin Zhang Shuye of Jeju Governor, and sent the Imperial Doctor Wu Luo to lead a thousand forbidden troops to his control, and jointly exterminate Chao Gai Song River.

Zhang Shuye received the emperor's edict to exterminate him, and he could save a thousand forbidden troops to arrive, and secretly made trouble. At present, the court is mediocre, traitorous ministers are in charge, evil politics is rampant, and there are many people in the world who have troubled, all of which are for a reason. But the emperor's order cannot be violated in half a minute, and it is imperative to exterminate it, and there is no room for hesitation. Xin said: "Song Jiang and others gathered hundreds of people, and there were more than 5,000 soldiers and township soldiers in this mansion, and the imperial court sent a thousand forbidden troops to come, and some bandit soldiers, and the court also valued them." ”

Originally, since Xining, the art of general warfare has been practiced, and the generals are still in Jeju to command the troops, train on the spot in peacetime, and accept dispatch in wartime, which was originally a good policy of "making the soldiers know their generals and training their soldiers". Uncle Zhang came to Jeju at night for two years, and the box soldiers and township soldiers used to practice many of their own, and the guerrilla soldiers were scattered and brave. So with Huang An, the prisoner of the soldiers and horses of the state, and then allocated 2,000 strong soldiers and 1,000 forbidden troops from the prefecture and the township soldiers to encircle and suppress.

Uncle Ye allocated a thousand local soldiers to go to Dongxi Village, Songjiazhuang and other Chaogai and Song Jiang's hometown to arrest the traitor's family, and secretly asked him to act cheaply. Why did you arrange Uncle Dao so much? It turned out that Uncle Ye thought about Chao Gai and Song Jiang for tax resistance, but he didn't want to change the dynasty against the imperial court, and his guilt could be big or small. To put it mildly, there are many people in various places who have caused trouble due to tax contributions, and the law is difficult to blame the public, and it is indispensable to settle things and calm people; In a big way, resisting taxes and rebelling can kill the nine clans. Shu Ye didn't want to catch the villagers and kill them, but he was saved from the Northwest Frontier Folding Army, and he had an old relationship with Shu Ye, so he instructed him to act when he saw the opportunity, and he could open the net when it was critical. Allocate him 1,000 soldiers to be local disciples, so that Kecun can secretly use means.

Zhe Ke saved 1,000 Jeju soldiers and went to Songjia Village, Song Jiang's hometown, first. The village was not big, and most of the people surnamed Song were there, and as soon as the officers and soldiers arrived, they were surrounded by groups and arrested one by one according to the household registration list given by the local yamen. I was very surprised, and then I went to Dongxi Village to cover my hometown, which is the same. Xiang Chao Gai Song Jiang and others rebelled against the government, this is a big crime, and the family should know it, why should they act like nothing, do not escape or avoid, and be arrested with their hands tied, which is against common sense? It turned out that although the families were dissatisfied with what the government had done, they were unwilling to cause trouble among the brothers, but they couldn't control it and didn't follow it, so they had to resign themselves to fate.

Kecun couldn't help but take a secret breath, and said in his heart: "Fortunately, Lord Zhang has already made arrangements, it is very tricky for these many people to catch them, and they can't be killed or released." "He ordered the soldiers to only surround the families in their respective villages, and wait for Lord Zhang to conquer Liangshan before making a decision. The soldiers are all local disciples, and since they have orders to save them, they can only surround them and do not act rashly.

Besides, Uncle Zhang took the remaining 2,000 soldiers and horses, more than 300 large and small warships, and entered the 800-mile water along the Wuzhang River, and approached Liangshan to conquer. There are many mountains in Liangshan, although it is not high and dangerous, but it is surrounded by water, the mountains and forests are lush, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is lonely and hangs in the water pool of 800 miles in a radius, it is indeed a good place to gather.

The officers and soldiers marched about three miles away from Liangshan, and there seemed to be no movement on the mountain, and there was no posture of confrontation. Shu Ye picked up 20 more big boats, divided 500 forbidden troops, led by Huang An, the warden of soldiers and horses, and marched towards the cottage Yuguan at the north entrance of Liangshan, as an outpost to explore the truth first.

Huang Dujian was directing everyone to advance, and suddenly there were ships in front of him one after another, and there were violent vibrations. Liangshan Bo was originally the Yellow River burst and covered with water, the bottom of Liangshan is very shallow, Shu Ye knew this early, before coming to Yuncheng Zhixian Shi Wenbin discussed this matter in detail, there are also guides to point out the depth of the channel location, and the generals have already been instructed. Huang An knew that this matter was strange, and he didn't care, so he let the soldiers go underwater, but someone threw the reef and planted the stakes, so they moved them one by one. I couldn't help but laugh in my heart: "Such a trick, where is the appearance of rejecting the enemy?" ”

With a little effort, the entrance of the village gradually got closer, but there was still no movement. Huang An secretly wondered: "Liangshan doesn't know what medicine is sold in the gourd, is it an empty city plan?" This official has also gone through the battle formation, but he will not leave in fright. The bandits in this state are all people from a few villages, and they are lawless with force, and three or five hundred people dare to provoke the government and defy the court, and they really don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick. Huang An led 500 men and horses to get off the boat and marched straight from the mouth of the North Village to the main village of Hutou Peak. The trail is steep and narrow, rugged and unguarded. Huang An didn't care either, thinking that the thief soldiers might have run away in fright when they saw the strength of the officers and soldiers, and couldn't help but secretly laugh at Song Jiang's big name, his small guts, and his confused behavior.

There was no Liangshan figure on the entire mountain road, and the officers and soldiers marched so fast, and in a blink of an eye, they arrived at the entrance of the Black Wind Mouth. The entrance is lined with trees, and it is the middle of the summer day, and although the sun is scorching, it is full of shade. Everyone was enjoying the cool shade of the mountains, and suddenly a flower appeared in front of them, and two grown men jumped down from the tree, one left and one right. Both of them held a whistle stick in their hands, as if they were smiling rather than laughing, as if they were angry but not angry, they didn't say a word, but they just squinted. It was Wu Song who had wide shoulders and big body on the left, but Ruan Xiaoer was slender and tall on the right.

Huang An rode a high-headed horse, the people and horses behind him were surging, and he was very majestic and had nowhere to go, so he jumped forward, no matter who the two were, holding a machete and scolding, "You and other untouchables don't know life and death, and they actually resist the payment of the imperial grain and national tax, and they dare to stop the official today, I think it's going to be dead." ”

Wu Song was not annoyed, and replied slowly: "Our fields were flooded in the early years, and the imperial court was exempted from taxes, so where do you say that you resist payment?" ”

Huang An scolded: "Today, the imperial court wants to collect public land tax, and this lake has been taken into official ownership, do you not know that you have to pay taxes, do you want to pretend to be stupid?" ”

That Ruan Xiaoer shouted: "This lake was originally our field, what does it have to do with the public field?" We have reaped our own flooded fields as public land, and the good fields have not been so cruel. ”

Huang An said: "This kind of truth is told to the court, but in front of me, the holy decree has been issued, so you should be bound up, obey the court, and you can not die." ”

Wu Song couldn't help laughing and said, "You have the ability, so you came over and tied me up." ”

That Huang An sneered: "Today, I don't need another soldier, so I will use the big knife in my hand to knock off the two of you." Wu Songzheng didn't want to fight with all the officers and soldiers, so he went straight to meet him, but Ruan Xiaoer watched coldly and did not move forward.

Huang An saw that Wu Song was holding a stick in one hand, grinning greatly, and despised himself to the extreme, so he was furious in his heart, and raised his knife to cut down on Wu Song. Wu Song saw that the big knife was approaching, and he held the stick in both hands to meet it, and steadily blocked the big knife.

After a few rounds, Huang An looked at it and was secretly surprised. He was born in the martial arts department who was on the emperor's list, and he was also taught by famous teachers, practiced hard, and often thought that there were too few battles and no place for heroes. I don't want to be able to beat even an ordinary bandit today, so I can't help but feel anxious. During the battle, the reins of the horse were slightly taken to the left, and the knife in his right hand slashed at Wu Song's head. Wu Song's body twisted, the knife swung the stick and knocked it down, and suddenly stabbed to the right, but it was on the side of Huang Anma's left front leg, he smiled loudly, and knocked lightly with the stick, the horse's leg was discounted, and his right hand did not forget to pat the officer's shinbone, and actually broke Huang An's left calf.
