Chapter 37, Shi Qiangsheng fled for the second time

Sigh:

used to be a rich man, but in the blink of an eye, he turned into a mess.

The world is vast and foggy, and nostalgia is dark and cloudy.

I left home to separate my brothers and sisters before, and this time I fled alone.

If you want to ask where you want to go, the grass in the old garden is also ecstatic.

It is said that when Li Dabing arrived in Liujing County, the guard general Wu Jun said: "General Li rescues the main city of Benzhou, but he can pass through the city without a detour!

Originally, passing through the city was a straight line, and it was necessary to walk more than 20 miles around the city.

Li Da looked up at the city tower and said with a smile: "General Wu is working hard to defend the city! Our army is in a hurry and has no time to go to the county office to drink, thank you for your kindness! I will invite General Wu to get drunk another day!"

Li Da's 10,000 troops entered the city, and after a short time, the front army arrived at the north gate, but the north gate was not opened. So the former army reported to the Chinese army and the Chinese army to the rear army, and reported the news that the north gate was not opened to Wu Jun and Li Da.

At this time, Li Da and Wu Jun rode behind the team, and Li Da said: "General Wu, please quickly order your subordinates to open the north gate." ”

Wu Jun said with a smile: "It's easy to say! General Li accompanied General Wan Qian to the east to Jingxian County, and actually awarded the deputy marshal, so that the last general would be envious! The last general sincerely invited General Li to the county government for a drink!"

Li Da smiled and said, "If it weren't for the military emergency, how could I not drink this glass of wine?

It turned out that while the two were talking, they had already arrived at the city gate. In the hole in the city gate, I don't know when a tripwire was set up. Wu Jun was prepared and stopped his horse, but Li Da was unprepared, so he fell down with his horse at that time!

Li Shijun had already sent someone to tie up Li Da.

However, the four gates of Liujing County were closed, and countless archers appeared on the roofs on both sides of the street, bending their bows and arrows one by one, just waiting for an order.

Ambushes appeared at both ends of the street and at all exits, and the generals who led the troops shouted loudly: "Surrender quickly!" or you will be killed!"

Li Da was captured, and the 10,000 army, at this time, was a group of dragons without a leader, and there was nowhere to escape, just like the main general, they all became turtles in the urn. Li Dashang surrendered, how could these 10,000 soldiers not surrender?

After Li Da surrendered, Li Shijun sent someone to pretend to be Li Da's herald to send a report of defeat to Wan Qisong:

-- General Li Da led his troops through Liujing County, but he could not walk 30 miles, and was surrounded by Li Shijun's subordinate Dadao Chang Sheng's army, and the situation was urgent! Wu Jun, the defender of Liujing County, led the garrison of 3,000 people to rescue in vain! Marshal Wan Qi was invited to come to the rescue quickly! Other generals are not often victorious opponents!

Li Da was stunned when he saw Li Shijun make such an arrangement! Li Da secretly sighed: "Tossing like this, if General Wan Qi comes in person, I am afraid that he will not be able to escape the result of being captured!"

Sure enough, an urgent report was sent to Wan Qiansong's camp, and Wan Qiansong was very surprised! Wan Qiansong called two of his cronies, Zhang Ba and Li Jiu, and said to the two:

"There are still two days to expire here, but Li Shijun sent another big sword to win, and attacked Daming Prefecture, and now he is besieging my reinforcement General Li Da 10,000 horses are more than 20 miles north of Liujing County, and the situation is urgent!

General Li Da is the deputy commander of our army, and I should personally go to the rescue to win the victory; you hold the old camp here, and I will come back in the last day!"

So Wan Qisong led 20,000 troops to rescue Li Da, and when the army arrived in Liujing County, he saw that the city gate was wide open, and there were small soldiers at the city gate. Wan Qisong asked, "What about your guard general General Wu Jun?"

The leader of the team replied: "Report to the general, General Wu led the troops out of the north gate to rescue General Li Da, and ordered me to open the north and south gates of the city, so that the generals can quickly pass through the city!"

Wan Qisong listened, and ordered his subordinates to say, "Pass through the city!" and then he took the lead and went straight to the city gate.

Wan Qian Song entered the city, didn't take a few steps, heard the exclamation of his subordinates behind him, and when he looked back, he only dropped the south city gate and the jack gate!

Wan Qisong was shocked, expecting that something must have happened in Liujing County! However, at this time, the soldiers following him were only a few hundred!

Wan Qisong was about to turn around and attack the south gate, but he saw that inside the south city gate, there were red flags on both sides of the east and west, and I don't know how many people and horses were attacking his side, but they all heard shouts that shook the sky: "Hurry up, catch Wan Qisong!"

When Wan Qisong saw that something was wrong, he immediately made a decision, beckoned the hundreds of people under his command, and rushed to the north gate. Wan Qisong breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said secretly: I, Wan Qisong, hope to escape, and not be a prisoner!

When he looked back, he saw that the hundreds of soldiers under his command who had rushed into the city with him, and only thirty or forty were left to follow him. Wan Qisong sighed and shouted, "Speed up!"

Wan Qisong was about to beat his horse out of the city, when he saw a general turn from the street next to him and rushed out, shouted loudly, and stabbed with a gun!

Wan Qisong was caught off guard, but the big gun was slightly off, turning the stab into a sweep, and it was sweeping on Wan Qisong's waist. Wan Qisong exclaimed in surprise and fell off the horse.

At this time, it was just when the two horses were staggered, so they came to grab Wan Qi's loose belt and capture him alive!

The dozens of soldiers who followed the main general here were desperate and had no choice but to surrender.

Wan Qisong was carried in his hand by the general, facing the loess with his back to the sky, bitter!

Listening to the sound of horses' hooves, I saw the stone slabs on the street retreating rapidly, and after a while, Wan Qisong was thrown to the ground by the general!

Wan Qisong fell to the ground, and when he looked up, he captured himself alive, where is the big knife that always wins, but it is Li Shijun himself!

Wan Qisong sighed and closed his eyes silently. Li Shijun personally persuaded him to surrender.

But it was said that the army that surrounded Jingxian over there, Zhang Ba and Li Jiu heard that the lord would be captured, and they messed up the number.

Of the nearly 100,000 besieging troops, one-third of them deserted and fled back to their hometowns, one-third surrendered to Tian Mengchang and Xu Xing Ma Rong, and one-third fled back with Zhang Ba and Li Jiu, and saw Yang Qingcai go.

At this point, Li Shijun gently won the famous state!

Daimyo Prefecture is bordered by Daheungju to the north and Huangju to the west. That Daxingzhou was originally Zhang Yousan's, but at this time, Li Shijun took Zhang Yousan as a banner, so Daxingzhou passed the throne and surrendered without a fight.

The dervishes praised it and said:

The general dared to apply a plan, and won two battles in a row.

First take the deputy marshal to call Li Da, and then capture the main general Wan Qisong.

Spread the land everywhere, and the order will be to march west at any time.

does not build meritorious deeds with killing, but also wins heroes with ingenuity.

The news reported that Li Shijian was at the office, and Li Shijian was very happy. was summoned to Li Shijun:

"Brother: The north of Daxingzhou is Beihai Dadu Mountain, my brother will inspect Daxingzhou as soon as possible, so he will go up the mountain to pay homage to the master, and greet Aunt Cui for me by the way. After returning to the army, go out with me in both directions, and destroy the remnants of Yang Qingcai first!"

After Li Shijian sent an order to Li Shijun, he sat in the overthrow of Mazhou, selected and trained elite soldiers, and prepared to attack Yang Qingcai's Huangzhou and Hongzhou. It was just Xu Wenhu who came back from the front line of Dahu Prefecture and reported that Lin Heng had taken Dahu Prefecture:

Lin Heng's army, along the way, marched forward, successively captured Niujiao County and Hubin County, and surrounded Dahuzhou City. The Jingsutuo soldiers were defeated in successive battles, and finally Jingxutuo personally went out of the city to fight Zhang Meng, and was smashed in the head by Zhang Meng with a hammer - so the whole state of Dahu Prefecture was flat.

When Xu Wenhu came back this time, he came back to hold a military academy for him and establish a training camp according to what he had agreed with Li Shijian at the beginning.

In February of the second year of Kaiping, Li Shijun led the troops to the state of Baomazhou, and met his brother Li Shijian, and the two brothers selected a total of 160,000 soldiers, each leading an army of 80,000 horses, and marched to Huangzhou.

However, he said that Yang Qingcai was in Huangzhou, and he had already learned the news that Li Shijian was going to attack Huangzhou, so he discussed it with Fu Liming, the counselor of the Left Army.

Yang Qingcai said: "As a senator, since the defeat a year ago, our army has not recovered, and there are only more than 50,000 horses at present, and each county has to assign defenders, and the troops are seriously insufficient, what should I do!"

Fu Liming said: "If we incorporate the private soldiers of the families and the robbers on the mountain, it is estimated that we can expand some of the troops, right?"

Yang Qingcai listened, a little hesitant.

Fu Liming said again: "Heavenly King, it is also a feasible way to co-opt them. At present, in the territory of Huangzhou and Hongzhou, it is estimated that the family private soldiers and robbers on the mountains can be recruited, and it is estimated that they can expand by nearly 10,000 horses. We can do both, and recruit troops in the territory at the same time, which should be able to save the emergency. ”

Yang Qingcai nodded in agreement, and Fu Liming issued a list in the two states under his jurisdiction, recruited new soldiers, and at the same time sent scouts everywhere to find out the information of all the family's private soldiers and bandits in the mountains, and simultaneously carried out the matter of incorporation.

One day, a probe came to report to Yang Qingcai that there was a group of robbers in Crouching Tiger Ridge in Benzhou, and the big leader was called Shi Qiangsheng, who had nearly a unified group of men and horses, but did not agree with the incorporation of our army, and shot the general sent by our army to incorporate.

Yang Qingcai heard this and was furious: "Li Shijian and Du Huaibiao, I can't afford to provoke it, the thieves in this mountain are only five hundred people, and they dare to fight against this king!"

So Yang Qingcai ordered the army to set off and personally conquered. Fu Liming dissuaded: "Heavenly King, with your identity, it is not appropriate to deal with just a few bandits!"

Yang Qingcai listened to it and woke up and said, "That's right, I'm also dizzy!"

So Yang Qing ordered the general to be requisitioned. Speaking of which, at this time, Yang Qingcai's subordinates really didn't have any available talents. The two divisions went to a Jia Mouyuan, many generals were lost on the valley road, and the powerful generals Wan Qisong and Li Da were captured by Li Shijun.

In desperation, Yang Qingcai ordered Zhang Ba and Li Jiu, two people, to lead 3,000 troops to go to Crouching Tiger Ridge to attack the group of thieves. Fu Liming also told the two of them to let this gang of robbers surrender to our army if possible.

Zhang Ba and Li Jiu received the orders one by one and brought 3,000 soldiers to fight Crouching Tiger Ridge. When I arrived at the bottom of the ridge, I saw that although the mountain was not tall, it was also quite majestic.

Zhang Ba and Li Jiuer will come here, but they see that the slope is dangerous, the ridge is steep and the forest is dense, there is a snake road in front of the mountain, and the back of the mountain is also a sheep intestine road. At the pass, the wooden wall is formed, and the sentry tower is drunk and asked who is he!

Hearing the question, Zhang Ba and Li Jiu lined up three thousand men and horses at the foot of the mountain, and the two of them did not take the robber in their eyes, but the two of them stepped forward together, and rushed to the watchtower sentry, showing off their might, and shouted arrogantly:

"You can listen to that sentry! Grandpa is a general under Yang Tianwang, and he is here today, just to recruit you and wait! You hurry up and report to your leader Shi Qiangsheng, and ask him to quickly open the gate of the village and come to greet him! If it is too late, grandpa will break your dilapidated cottage, and there will be no chickens and dogs left at that time!"

Zhang Ba and Li Jiu are careless, but Shi Qiangsheng has already learned that there is a large army to attack.

Shi Qiangsheng has been the leader of the robbers since he came here, and he has already transformed the cottage. Shi Qiangsheng originally wanted to build this cottage like an iron wall, but when the world was chaotic, he couldn't get a few dollars as a robber, and his manpower and material resources were limited.

However, after a simple transformation, this cottage is still possible to deal with two or three thousand people. Shi Qiangsheng was a commander of the army, so he trained the robbers again, asking them to no longer attack in a swarm or retreat in a swarm as before, but advance and retreat in an orderly manner and march in a neat formation. Shi Qiangsheng is also a master of archery, and he also strengthened the training of archery for the robbers. The combat effectiveness of this gang of robbers has also improved a lot.

In general, although the training effect is not very good, it can indeed make Shi Qiangsheng more mentally steady.

Shi Qiangsheng also set up an army according to the management of the regular army, and inquired about the news, and already knew that there were 3,000 men and horses attacking the mountain.

Shi Qiangsheng estimated that with 3,000 men and horses, with himself and his nearly 500 men, with the help of geographical advantages, with bows and arrows to attack from afar, and not to let the enemy get close to the village, there was still hope to keep the cottage.

At that time, the screams of the two guys were just down, and I saw hundreds of people suddenly appearing on the wall of the cottage, all with bows and arrows!

There was even one of them, who shouted to Zhang Ba Li Jiu outside the cottage: "You wait for Hugh to be arrogant, I Shi Qiangsheng doesn't care that you are a subordinate of the Yang (Yang) Heavenly King Earth Heavenly King, if you roar and talk long-winded, I will shoot you!"

Zhang Ba and Li Jiu looked at each other and said: "Listening to his tone, it should be the bandit leader Shi Qiangsheng." The two of them nodded at the same time, and then they both turned their faces to the cottage, and shouted in unison: "Shi Qiangsheng! You dare not surrender! Grandpa asks you again, surrender or not?"

He called himself "grandpa" one by one, so arrogant and rude, he had already annoyed Shi Qiangsheng. Shi Qiangsheng had the intention to humiliate the two of them, so he opened the bow and arrows, but he just "swished" twice, the two horses neighed miserably, and Zhang Ba and Li Jiu fell off their horses and fell into the mud!

As soon as Zhang Ba and Li Jiu fell down like this, three thousand soldiers made a noise!

The robbers are still robbers in the end, and although they have been trained, they still have their shortcomings:

At that time, all the robbers saw that the leader had already made a move, and they saw that the three thousand troops were clamoring, and they all released arrows one after another without waiting for Shi Qiangsheng's order.

As a result, the 3,000 men and horses of Zhang Ba and Li Jiu outside the village were killed at that time! Although Zhang Ba and Li Jiu were protected by guards, the two of them were the first to be injured.

By the time the guards rescued the two generals, the two had already been frightened, and only shouted "Retreat!"

Yang Qingcai was full of calculations, and only said that Zhang Ba Li Jiu and Jiu would be able to succeed in this go, but 3,000 soldiers were defeated and returned, and Zhang Ba and Li Jiu each had arrow wounds. Yang Qingcai was surprised, and when he asked, he knew that this Shi Qiangsheng was very clever in archery!

Yang Qingcai listened, and he was moved to recruit at that time.

Fu Liming also suggested: "Heavenly King, I have also investigated clearly, Shi Qiangsheng used to be Chen Zhiyuan's subordinate, it seems that when Chen Zhiyuan returned to Li Shijian, this person did not surrender, and it is appropriate to recruit him to join our army and deal with the Taiping army!"

Yang Qingcai said: "What Fu said in the army is exactly what I want!"

Fu Liming said again: "This person is a bandit leader, he killed the generals of our army last time, and defeated our army Zhang Bali 92 this time, it is better for us to force him to use military might, end it with kindness, and use both prongs, we can almost recruit him Shi Qiangsheng." ”

Yang Qingcai said: "I understand what Fu said in the army. So Yang Qing ordered 30,000 horses, which was enough to surround the small Crouching Tiger Ridge - this is called "forcing it to be powerful";

At the same time, he prepared a thousand taels of silver, as well as some jewelry toys, and Yang Qingcai personally wrote a book of persuasion, which only said the meaning of admiration, the heart of the virtuous, and strongly invited Shi Qiangsheng to join the army, and promised the position of the former military camp commander - this is "ending the knot with grace".

After the preparations were completed, Yang Qingcai and Fu Liming personally led 30,000 troops to Crouching Tiger Mountain.

The minions of Crouching Tiger Mountain saw that Yang Qingcai had an army of 30,000 and was menacing, but he didn't know that Yang Qingcai had the intention of recruiting, so he hurriedly reported to Shi Qiangsheng: "Big boss, something is not good! Yang Qingcai and the military advisor Fu Liming led an army of 30,000 to exterminate us!"

Shi Qiangsheng summoned a group of thieves and said: "We are less than 500 people, although we have defeated 3,000 people before, but we can't resist tens of thousands of troops; we are not opponents, and I, Shi Qiangsheng, am not the kind of people who have a wide range of strategies, we can only say that it is a little better than the previous two rice bucket generals' archery skills, where can we win more with less? Brothers, if you want to survive, you can only flee quickly, let's break up?"

When the thieves heard this, they were all afraid, so they divided the silver taels and scattered them as birds and beasts, leaving an empty village.

Shi Qiangsheng himself carried nearly 100 taels of silver and more than a dozen gold leaves, disguised himself as an ordinary mountain man, and fled all the way.

Shi Qiangsheng fled down the mountain, feeling that it was not good for him to see his sister or Li Shijian, and on the way he heard that his hometown was under the rule of Li Shijian, and now it was stable and peaceful, so he wanted to quietly return to his hometown.

Yang Qing only arrived at Crouching Tiger Mountain, and naturally pounced. A small soldier caught the nearby mountain people to inquire, it turned out to be a robber on the mountain, I heard that Yang Qingcai's army was conscripted, and they all fled half a day ago!

Yang Qingcai couldn't help but be annoyed. Fu Liming said: "Don't be angry, Shi Qiangsheng escaped alone, but it is easier to catch - we only need to put up a reward at the intersection of important places and places in various counties to arrest us." ”

As a result, in less than half a day, portraits of Shi Qiangsheng were posted everywhere in Huangzhou, and it was announced that anyone who could provide accurate information would also be rewarded with 20 taels of silver.

Let's say that Shi Qiangsheng escaped from Wohu Mountain, walked for most of the day, and came to an ancient town near Daling County, Huangzhou, where he saw a notice posted in the ancient town to arrest him.

Shi Qiangsheng didn't know that this was to arrest him, and he also stepped forward to look at the list, but he had already been recognized.

The person who recognized Shi Qiangsheng said to the other: "Hey, brother, have you seen it? That person is Shi Qiangsheng painted on this picture!"

The other said, "Shhhhh

Shi Qiangsheng's ears are very good, and he has already heard it clearly. Shi Qiangsheng was taken aback and hurriedly fled from here, and secretly inquired, it turned out that the entire territory of Huangzhou was arresting him everywhere.

How did Shi Qiangsheng know that Yang Qingcai caught himself like this, and his original intention was to invite him to become a general?

At this moment, Shi Qiangsheng lost his ground, and was forced to stay at night, no one dared to see him, and he had no food to eat!
