Volume 3: The world is turbulent, and the undercurrent does not stop Chapter 396 - Head-to-head confrontation (3)
At this moment, Zhu Wu didn't have time to make too many plans, if it weren't for Yan Qing to accept Ou Peng's support in time, even if they had the courage to do so at this moment, this battle would definitely be lost.
Looking at the melee in front of him, Guan Sheng was seriously injured and couldn't enter within three zhang of Jiangning; Lin Chong and Di Qing fought in one place, regardless of victory or defeat; Wu Song was pinned down by the woman, and he had changed from being suppressed to being equal; Cao Rongsheng was like a maggot on the tarsal bone, entangled with Chai Jin.
The remaining Li Jun and Zhang Shun also fought hard, Ou Peng received the wounded, and there was no time to fight, but at this moment, Yan Qing flashed out from the side, and was about to kill Jiang Ning with his bare hands, Zhu Wu stopped him: "Brother Xiaoyi, what are you going to do?" ”
But I saw Yan Qingqing's muscles bursting out: "I'll kill that guy, if he doesn't die today, it will definitely cause a catastrophe in the future." ”
But Zhu Wu grabbed Yan Qing stiffly: "This time I went down the mountain and lost my soldiers, if there is another brother here, how can I explain to my brother after I go back?" Stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood, Brother Xiaoyi, go quickly......"
Yan Qing gritted her teeth and glared at Jiang Ning angrily, but when she saw Jiang Ning smiling evilly, she nodded slightly, and her heart was even more like if she drilled her heart, and she couldn't wait to show Jiang Ning's head to the public now, and her bones would be scattered.
With a sigh of rage, he cut down one person and went to support Ou Peng in transferring the wounded.
Wu Song blocked the second thousand xun with a knife, and flipped back to the back, forming a defensive line with Lin Chong, Guan Sheng, and Chai Jin, and there were only more than 500 people left behind him, and the rest of the people had already boarded the ship.
That Zhang Shun shouted: "Anchor ......"
But when he saw more than 100 small boats carrying everyone, he was about to leave the ferry, and a few people in the forest did not look back, and ran towards the water with more than 500 people.
"Release the arrows......" Di Qing waved his hand, and the five hundred archers divided into two waves and began to fire a salvo.
I have to admit that this kind of discipline can only be seen in the border army, every time a salvo is fired, many people fall in the water, they naturally have no time to take care of the rescue, every time they save someone, there will be more people left, with endless hatred, the boat finally accelerated out of the range of the bow and arrow.
At the ferry, Cao Rongsheng frowned and said, "Why didn't Fang Cai take advantage of the victory to pursue?" Leave all these people behind? If you do this, you will let the tiger return to the mountain, and there will be great trouble in the future. ”
Jiang Ning smiled, this Cao Rongsheng cooperated with them, and now he complained, if such a utilitarian heart had come a few years earlier, the Liangshan thieves would not have developed to the current scale.
He immediately said, "I want to let them go back." ”
Cao Rongsheng was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Let them go back?" Why is that? I see that there are five or six leaders who have gone down the mountain this time, which is a lot, let them go back, with one as a hundred, I don't know what kind of chaos will occur in the future, eight hundred miles of water, you should be so good to enter? ”
"The mountain people have their own clever plans, this work is naturally General Cao's, as for what to do, I haven't thought about it yet, but when the time comes to need General Cao's help, General Cao should not refuse." Jiang Ning said, turned around and arched his hand with Cao Rongsheng, very polite.
Although Cao Rongsheng didn't know what medicine was sold in Jiangning's gourd, but this dispatch could be regarded as a fruitful harvest, and the reward would be indispensable after going back, Di Qing, as a border general, was at the same level as him, and he was arrogant, but for this Jiang Ning, he was obedient, Jiang Ning's strength can be seen, and he immediately returned the courtesy: "Lord Jiang is polite, if you can use Cao's place in the future, even if you ask it." ”
Jiang Ning also knew that this was a polite remark, this was clearly a master who didn't see rabbits and didn't scatter eagles, and said to Di Qing: "General Di, please also repair two letters, one with Shandong Mansion, Yan Ming General Cao is brave, if there is no General Cao, Liangshan thief Kou will definitely retreat, General Cao took the lead, killed thousands of enemies, and killed the two thieves leaders of the Flying Sage Li Gon and Zhensanshan Huangxin, which is indispensable." ”
"There is another letter sent to the capital, conveyed by the flower girl, if it is not for General Cao's help, the thief gets on the boat, if the flower girl has a mistake, this trip is a failure, and although the birthday gang is only three cars, if you don't write it, the court will reward you, and when General Cao is crowned and knighted, don't forget Jiang." Jiang Ning laughed.
Di Qing said: "That's natural, but a flower girl can be worthy of this full ship of birthdays, and General Cao is really indispensable." ”
Although Di Qing didn't know why Jiang Ning gave all the credit to Cao Rongsheng, judging from Jiang Ning's plans these days, it was indeed in Jiang Ning's calculations that every step was indeed in Jiang Ning's calculations, if Jiang Ning hadn't asked him to block it, I am afraid that these thieves would have already left.
Then he also had to escort Shengchengang and Hua Yourong to the capital for a businesstrip, but Jiang Ning's intention was to stay, as for what the follow-up actions were, it was not known, so since Jiang Ning said so, he did it, and there were only hundreds of bandits, and they couldn't get into his eyes.
That Cao Rongsheng arched his hand and smiled: "It's all the credit of Lord Jiang and Master Di, how dare Cao be greedy?" ”
Jiang Ning waved his hand: "This is just a colorful head, there is a big gift in the back, those who can send troops to help my Jing'an Division and the border army are all loyal to the monarch and the country, so loyal and brave generals do not ask for merit, is it possible to cheapen those who are in the government?" ”
This is said to Cao Rongsheng's heart, they are the ones who run around on weekdays, and they are also the ones who are born and die, but when it comes to the final reward, their names are gone, and now there is Di Qing's letter and Jiang Ning's promise, why worry that this credit does not fall on his own head?
Thinking of this, Cao Rongsheng said happily: "Thank you two adults for this, I don't know what Lord Jiang plans to do in the future?" After all, this place is Shandong, and Cao's words still have some weight. ”
Jiang Ning said: "I heard that this Liang Shanshui has been expanding rapidly recently, and there have been about seventy or eighty leaders in just two years, they have been deflated here, and they will definitely find a place in other places, Lord Cao, do you have any news?" ”
Cao Rongsheng said with a smile: "Lord Jiang is polite, these thieves are very cunning, how can I know their next step?" If he knew, he would have arrested these people a long time ago. ”
Jiang Ning said with a smile: "That's right, I heard that there are three Zhuangzi in the southwest of Liangshan Mountain, called Zhujiazhuang, Hujiazhuang and Lijiazhuang, which are only a hundred miles away, I don't know if their hands have reached out to where they are." ”
Cao Rongsheng nodded: "A few years ago, this Liangshan Bo went down the mountain, three dozen Zhujiazhuang, although it was also a loss of soldiers, swallowed three Zhuangzi, and incorporated a lot of people, but two people escaped, one named Luan Tingyu, is the teacher of the three heroes of the Zhu family, there is the courage of ten thousand people, and the other is a woman, called a zhang Qinghu Sanniang, her family was killed by the Liangshan thieves, almost captured, fortunately Luan Tingyu rescued, the two went southwest and walked more than 50 miles, as if in Pang Gezhuang, Its owner Pang Menglong and Hujiazhuang is the relationship between the lips and teeth, and because they were saved by Hujiazhuang, this took in the two, this Pang Gezhuang is next to the right side, there is also a Liujiazhuang, the owner Liu Pengfei and Pang Menglong are the brothers of the incense and worship the handle, the two of them have no 10,000 people and 8,000, and Zhujiazhuang, Hujiazhuang, Lijiazhuang are almost the same, so this Liangshan thief did not chase after him, I think it is also the matter of this birthday gang, otherwise, I would have gone to fight a long time ago. ”
"Oh? Since they have already obtained three Zhuangzi, how can they put people to death? Jiang Ning asked again.
"Hehe, you don't know anything about this Lord Jiang, this Hu Sanniang is one of the best female generals in Shandong Mansion, not only strong in martial arts, but also a lovely child, I heard that the skin is like a coagulated master, you say that the group of Liangshan thieves can let go? Besides, Liangshan killed the whole family, and the grass had to be eradicated, in case it landed a day later, wouldn't it be ......?"
Jiang Ning looked at Cao Rongsheng like a few treasures, and suddenly stopped abruptly, but saw Cao Rongsheng smile: "Hehe, see the smile and laugh, this is just nonsense after dinner, Lord Jiang listens to it, listens to it, even ......."
