…

The son-in-law was killed, and the daughter was occupied and humiliated by the bandits, where did Cai Jing's old face go? !

The key is that Jiang Hongfei didn't even let go of his daughter and son-in-law Cai Jing, obviously he didn't take him as Sikong, Kaifu Yitong Sansi, Zhongtaiyi Palace Envoy, Shangshu Zuo Servant, Taiwei, Taishi, Lingsan Province, Lu Guogong, and the Minister of Power in the Dynasty!

What's more, Cai Jing has a total of nine sons (eight in history, but only nine can be said in the Water Margin, because there is a Cai Jiu prefect Cai Dezhang in Jiangzhou), and there is only one daughter, Mrs. Cai.

Moreover, Mrs. Cai is also Cai Jing's daughter in old age, and Mrs. Cai is also very filial on weekdays, pure Cai Jing's little padded jacket, Cai Jing loves Mrs. Cai very much.

I think that at the beginning, Cai Jing was heartbroken for Mrs. Cai's marriage, and she chose to choose a good husband for this daughter.

Ten years ago, when Mrs. Cai reached the age when she should be married, Wu Min was talented, and Cai Jing liked her writing, so she wanted to recruit her as her son-in-law.

But Wu Min at that time was young and vigorous, and he didn't want to be in the same league as Cai Jing, so he rejected Cai Jing's kindness.

Wu Min became famous because of this, and was vigorously touted by those old party members.

In order to show his belly, Cai Jing overrode public opinion and recommended Wu Min to fill the museum position, and later promoted Wu Min single-handedly.

It can be said that Wu Min gained fame and fortune because of this incident, which laid a solid foundation for him to become the prime minister in the future.

However, this incident made Mrs. Cai bitter, and made her, who was originally talented and well-born, a joke for a while.

At that time, Liang Shijie, who was born in a poor family, was a high school jinshi, and was among the best, plus his appearance and ability were good, Cai Jing married his only daughter to him, and in less than ten years, he was gradually promoted to the Daimyo Mansion to be the head of the first house, became a high-ranking official of the third grade, and also became a member of the Cai family.

It can be said that although Liang Zhongshu slipped a little, he was also right about Cai Jing's thoughts.

No, Jiang Hongfei actually killed his son-in-law whom Cai Jing liked very much, and dared to put his Cai Jing's daughter in his backyard as a plaything!

Extremely daring!

It's tolerable, it's unbearable!

Zhang Ji, the prefect of Caozhou, was a relative of Cai Jing, and the Guangji army under his command was now the forward position of the defense of Shuibo Liangshan, and Caozhou also bordered Shuibo Liangshan, so he knew Shuibo Liangshan very well.

It happened that Zhang Ji was operating in the capital at this time, and the imperial court sent a large army to exterminate Shuibo Liangshan.

Cai Jing called Zhang Ji and told him that Jiang Hongfei led the Liangshan army to break the Daimyo's mansion, killed his son-in-law, and occupied his daughter, which humiliated him, and asked Zhang Ji to tell him in detail what was going on with this gang of thieves in Shuibo Liangshan?

Zhang Ji said: "This gang of water robbers is not ordinary thieves......

Therefore, Zhang Ji told Cai Jing about Jiang Hongfei's style of acting, the attitude of the people in Liangshanbo towards Jiang Hongfei, the attitude towards Shuibo Liangshan and the Zhao and Song courts, and other things he knew about Jiang Hongfei and Shuibo Liangshan.

When I first heard it, Cai Jing didn't pay much attention to it.

But the more he listened, the more Cai Jing's brows furrowed.

After listening, Cai Jing said with a sinking face: "If this thief is not eliminated, he will become a big trouble for the court!" ”

Zhang Ji echoed: "The lower officials also think so, so they came to Beijing to move troops to exterminate this gang of water bandits." ”

For Zhang Ji, the current situation is that if Shuibo Liangshan expands further, it is very likely to expand in the direction of Caozhou, and at that time, the Guangji army under Zhang Ji is bound to have a battle with Shuibo Liangshan.

And the Guangji Army has less than ten commanders, how can it be the opponent of the Liangshan Army?

Moreover, Zhang Ji felt that the late battle was not as good as the early war, and the more time given to Shuibo Liangshan, the stronger the development of Shuibo Liangshan would be, and the more difficult it would be to exterminate.

In addition, Shuibo Liangshan almost poured out of the nest to attack the Daimyo's Mansion this time, in Zhang Ji's opinion, this is definitely a God-given opportunity to destroy Shuibo Liangshan.

Therefore, Zhang Ji entered Beijing and wanted to ask the imperial court to send troops to exterminate Shuibo Liangshan.

But after Zhang Ji entered Beijing, he ran into walls everywhere, and no one was interested in exterminating Shuibo Liangshan at all.

Seeing this, Zhang Ji was disheartened and prepared to return to Caozhou.

I don't want to, the mountains and rivers are full of doubts, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village.

Jiang Hongfei actually killed Cai Jing's son-in-law, and had the audacity to treat Cai Jing's daughter as a plaything, and this matter quickly spread, if Cai Jing didn't kill Shuibo Liangshan, then Cai Jing's temper would be too good.

After Zhang Ji's friend Yang Guishan learned of the incident, he persuaded Zhang Ji not to leave first, and there might be a turn for the better.

Facts have proved that Yang Guishan guessed correctly, and Cai Jing really found Zhang Ji, who has been running for the extermination of Shuibo Liangshan recently.

Cai Jing asked: "If I want to exterminate this gang of water bandits, what can Governor Zhang teach me?" ”

Zhang Ji said: "The reason why this gang of water robbers is difficult to exterminate, is only because the eight hundred miles of Liangshan Bo Zhou are full of deep and Hong Kong water, the vast reeds and grass are swinging, and most of the water bandits are fishermen from Liangshanbo, familiar with the waters there, do not send thousands of sailors to attack, even the edge of Liangshan can not be touched, now the thief leader Jiang Yan is bold enough to lead a group of water robbers to attack the Daimyo's mansion, but also greedy for the property in Beijing, delay in returning, lose the barrier, and bring disaster upon themselves, if the imperial court sends a large army at this time, all the way to take Liangshan, All the way to the Daimyo's Mansion to encircle and suppress the water bandits, no matter which way you win, you can destroy this group of water robbers and eliminate harm for the country. ”

Cai Jing felt that what Zhang Ji said was very reasonable, so he said: "I have sent good generals and elite soldiers to take Liangshan and encircle and suppress the water cowards entrenched in the Daimyo's mansion. ”

Zhang Ji said: "A few days ago, the official was at Yanggui Mountain, and he talked to him about this matter, and he said that there are a few strong generals in Hebei who can suppress thieves, so why don't you invite him over and discuss together?" ”

Yang Guishan, the name, the word is neutral, Jiannan County Jiangle County, sex to filial piety, Xining years to raise Jinshi, is the door of Ming Cheng Master, he and Xie Liangzuo, Lu Dalin, You Xing, called "Mr. Cheng Men Si".

Previously, because Yang Guishan criticized Hua Shigang and insinuated against Zhao Ji and a group of traitors who helped Zhao Ji collect Hua Shigang, he was transferred to Xiaoshan by Zhao Ji Junchen to serve as the county commander.

After Yang Guishan served as the commander of Xiaoshan County, he handled various government affairs, and the rulings were like streaming, and then because the people suffered from drought for several years, he built Xianghu Lake and irrigated Jiuxiang, and made remarkable achievements, and was transferred back to the central government, and has not yet been appointed to a specific position.

Zhang Ji mentioned Yang Guishan at this time, in addition to the fact that Yang Guishan did have good generals who could fight well, he also wanted to help Yang Guishan find a good messenger.

Cai Jing knows very well that if you want to do things, you have to rely on these capable officials, and those who are sloppy and shoot horses can't be counted on in most cases.

So Cai Jing pretended to be overjoyed and said: "It turns out that Yang Shi has a good general, so please ask him to discuss the matter of suppressing bandits." ”

So, Zhang Ji brought Yang Guishan to discuss the matter.

After meeting and finishing the ceremony, Cai Jing asked bluntly: "Governor Zhang, you have a good general there, I don't know who he is?" ”

Yang Guishan said: "Deng Zongbi, the governor of Enzhou, Zhang Yinglei, the governor of Kaizhou, Xin Congzhong, the governor of Wuding Mansion, and Tao Zhenting, the governor of Guangping Mansion, all four of them have the material of generals, and they are reused by the Taishi. ”

Zhang Ji said on the side: "These four people are all first-class qi refiners, and they all have powerful magical powers, and they are all proficient in the art of war, so they will be able to share the worries of the Taishi." ”

While speaking, Zhang Ji remembered another person and said: "That Yun Tianbiao, the head of Jingyang Town, seems to be the reincarnation of Guan Yunchang of the Three Kingdoms. The strength should still be above the four generals Deng, Xin, Zhang, and Tao. If this person is in the army, he will be able to make the whole heart and the water cold. And this person also has a great enmity with Liang Shanshuikou, his only son Yunlong was killed by Liangshan Shuikou, and his daughter-in-law who did not pass through the door was also occupied by the thief leader Jiang Yan. ”

"Another Guan Yu?"

"Wait, it was also occupied by the thief leader Jiang Yan? What does Zhang Ji mean? Laugh at me?! ”

Now is the time to employ people, and it is not good to have a seizure, so Cai Jing suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and said: "There is still a lack of a person who has an overview of this matter, you can see ......"

Zhang Ji said: "Xiaguan also has to defend against the attack of the Shuikou, and when necessary, he can lead my Guangji army to deal a fatal blow to the Shuikou, and the Xiaguan wants to protect Mr. Kameyama to have an overview of this matter." ”

There is a reason why Zhang Ji protects Yang Guishan.

Liang Zhongshu is dead, and the position of the chief official of the Beijing Daimyo Mansion is vacant.

If Yang Guishan can really exterminate Shuibo Liangshan, maybe he will be able to become the head of the new Beijing Daimyo Mansion, and take a step back and say, even if he is a Taishou.

Yang Guishan is also ready to move.

Therefore, in the face of Zhang Ji's recommendation, Yang Guishan did not refuse.

And Cai Jing really wants to exterminate Shuibo Liangshan now, but he doesn't want those old party people to participate in his fake public and private interests, the key is that he doesn't want to delay Zhao Ji's plan to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun because of his own affairs.

In this way, it is good to use Yang Guishan, an old party person, to do this.

So, in the next day, someone attacked the Liangshan army and attacked the Daimyo's Mansion City, and reported it to Zhao Ji about burning, killing and looting in the Daimyo's Mansion City.

Zhao Ji was furious and asked around: "Who can share my worries and exterminate this gang of thieves?" ”

As soon as Zhao Ji's voice fell, someone came forward to protect him and said: "The minister thinks that Yang Shi can take on this important responsibility." ”

After some arguing, Yang Guishan was appointed by Zhao Ji as Beijing's pacification envoy, and went to the Daimyo Mansion as soon as possible to organize Hebei soldiers and horses to exterminate the Liangshan army.

Under the green light of Cai Jing and Tong Guan, Yang Guishan immediately sent a message to the four generals Deng, Xin, Zhang, Tao and Yun Tianbiao to lead the troops of their headquarters to listen to the army, and then transferred the people and horses of Xiangzhou, Cizhou, Enzhou, Bozhou, and Yizhou, as well as the 20,000 troops of Kaide Prefecture, a total of 50,000 troops to exterminate the Liangshan army.

After Yang Guishan left Jingshi, he first arrived at Kaide Mansion.

At the same time, Yun Tianbiao, the head of Jingyang Town, came to help in the battle.

It turned out that Yun Tianbiao had also heard the news that Liang Shanjun was attacking the Daimyo's Mansion in Beijing in Jingyang Town, and he dreamed that the imperial court would let him go to war to avenge his only son.

Yun Tianbiao felt that it might be his begging that moved the heavens, and just when he was waiting for the group to turn, he suddenly received a letter from the Privy Council, teaching him to take his headquarters to Kaide Mansion to obey orders and encircle and suppress the Liangshan army together.

Yun Tianbiao was overjoyed, and immediately led the five hundred machetes he had personally trained and trained to rush to Kaide Mansion in the starry night.

When Yun Tianbiao arrived at Kaide Mansion, Yang Guishan also happened to arrive at Kaide Mansion.

As soon as he saw Yun Tianbiao, his face was like a heavy jujube, phoenix eyes and silkworm eyebrows, the dragon walked and the tiger walked, the beautiful hair was over the abdomen, and the sound was like a bell, Yang Guishan was very surprised.

Yang Guishan also knew that he himself did not have the ability to lead the army, so he appointed Yun Tianbiao as the acting commander of the army, commanding the 20,000 horses of Kaide Mansion.

After the repeated urging of Yang Guishan and Yun Tianbiao, the 20,000 horses here in Kaide Mansion only reached 145,000.

Yun Tianbiao said to Yang Guishan: "Xianggong, you can't wait any longer, if you wait any longer, the fighter may be lost." ”

So, Yang Guishan and Yun Tianbiao led the 15,000 men and horses to the north.

At the same time, the four generals Deng, Xin, Zhang, and Tao, who had been ordered that day, had already led their respective soldiers and horses to the Beijing Daimyo's Mansion as if they were flying, and the four generals had already fought with the Liangshan army.

On this day, Yang Guishan and Yun Tianbiao led the army to Yuancheng, which was only dozens of miles away from the Daimyo's Mansion.

——This is the meeting point of the army set by Yang Guishan.

At this time, the four generals Deng, Xin, Zhang, and Tao, as well as the people of Xiangzhou, Cizhou, Enzhou, Bozhou, and Yizhou, had almost all arrived in Yuancheng.

It's just that Yuancheng has already been captured by the Liangshan army, which is the first to strike.

At this time, Motojo and Daimyofu Castle formed a trend of mutual support.

When the Song army first arrived in Yuancheng, Shi Bao, the defender of Yuancheng, often fought and repelled several waves of Song troops.

After the Song army gathered more and more here in Yuancheng, Shi Bao closed the city and held on.

After that, the Song army surrounded and attacked from all sides, but the Liangshan army repelled the attack.

After Yang Guishan and Yun Tianbiao arrived in Yuancheng, the Song generals bowed down, and Yang Guishan asked, "Why hasn't Yuancheng been laid yet?" ”

Yang Guishan and Yun Tianbiao originally wanted to use Yuancheng as their base camp, but they didn't want to, the Song army couldn't defeat it for so many days.

Deng Zongbi reported: "The city guard surnamed Shi Mingbao, this person is cunning like a fox, fierce like a wolf, there is a Liangshan horse army in the city, a Liangshan infantry army, the strength is not much, but the people in the city do not know what evil they have been, and they actually cooperate with the water to defend the city, so that we have repeatedly attacked the city, all of which have fallen short." ”

Yang Guishan didn't believe that the thousands of Liangshan troops would be so difficult, so he personally supervised the battle, and let the four generals Deng, Xin, Zhang, and Tao attack the city from all sides at the same time.

In the face of such a fierce siege, Shi Bao arranged for Ma Lin, Xie Zhen, and Xie Bao to each guard a city wall, and he personally guarded the last city wall.

Soon, the Song army launched a fierce attack on Yuancheng with superior forces.

But due to the full preparation before the war, in the face of the attack of tens of thousands of Song troops, Shi Bao was also very calm and calm.

He commanded the "garrison" led by Ma Lin, Xie Zhen, and Xie Bao, relying on the favorable terrain and building strong fortifications, condescendingly, giving full play to the advantages of the Liangshan army's divine arm and bow, and killing and injuring a large number of Song troops from a long distance.

-- "Li Jing's Art of War" divides combat units into five types of combat formations according to the types of troops and combat missions, namely, the jumping team, the horse army, the odd soldier team, the battle front team, and the garrison team. Among them, the strikers are used for offense, while the stationed teams are used for defense.

The garrison of the Liangshan Army concentrated strong bows and crossbows, took turns to select and shoot, and the arrows were like rain, thwarting the Song army's three large-scale attacks.

At dusk, when the Song army retreated, Shi Bao personally led the Seventh Army of Ma out of the city suddenly, and then covered up the killing, inflicting heavy casualties on the Song army......
