Chapter 441
Liangshan won a complete victory, and Haobai ordered a feast to be held on Liangshan to celebrate.
After breaking the official army and capturing Hu Yanzhuo, Han Tao, and Peng Qi, the soldiers and horses of Liangshan officially entered the eyes of the imperial court.
Liangshanshui has attracted the attention of Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Gao Yu and other powerful ministers, there is no way, more than 10,000 officers and soldiers and several generals have just arrived in Liangshan, and they will stop eating in less than a day, and this group of grass cowards is too strong!
Cai Jing and Tong Guan, the two powerful ministers of the dynasty, are still extremely capable, and only Gao Yu is able to kick and bow, plus all kinds of flattery to get to the top, and their ability and power are far inferior to Cai Jing and Tong Guan.
Cai Jingnai was the imperial master of the dynasty, known as the first person in the Great Song Dynasty, and the power leaned towards the government and the opposition, so naturally there was no need to say much.
Tong Guan was disabled with his body, he was in charge of the military power of the Great Song Dynasty for many years, conquered the east and the west, quelled the rebellion at the edge of the town, and was like the generalissimo of a country's soldiers and horses, and he was a very popular minister, only under Cai Jing.
Compared with these two, Gao Yu can only be regarded as a little brother.
Tong Guan, who controlled the military power of the imperial court, brought some officials to Cai Jing to discuss the matter of Liangshan.
Cai Jing told the matter of Liangshan and said: "What should we do now, and what soldiers, horses and generals will be dispatched to defeat the Liangshan bandits!"
The combat effectiveness of the soldiers and horses of Liangshan has made this Taishi Cai start to worry, if he can't exterminate this group of grass robbers as soon as possible and let them continue, there will be endless troubles in the future.
The officials looked at each other, their faces were different, that Hu Yanzhuo, Han Tao, and Peng Qi were all generals, not vain people, leading more than 10,000 troops, but they had just arrived at the edge of Liangshan Shui, and the whole army was wiped out in less than a day, so who would dare to go!
The atmosphere was silent for a while, and then I saw a man stand up, and this person was preaching praise.
This person is like the bottom of a pot, his nostrils are facing the sky, he is extremely ugly, and people call him ugly.
Because he won against other generals and generals, but because it was too ugly, he couldn't be reused, but this time he saw this as an opportunity, so he stood up.
Xuanzan walked out and said to Cai Jing: "When the last general was in his hometown, he had a friend, who was named Guan Sheng after Guan Yu during the Three Kingdoms period, and he looked very similar to Guan Yu on his ancestors. ”
"This person reads military books at a young age, is well versed in martial arts, and has the courage of ten thousand people, if he is invited to courtesy, worship as a general, he can sweep Liangshan and protect the country and the people. ”
Guan Yu Guan Yunchang's descendants!
This name is still very bluffing.
Cai Jing listened, pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement, at this time Xuanzan dared to recommend this person, this person has his own merits, so he asked Xuanzan to invite Guan Sheng.
Guan Sheng, like Hu Yanzhuo at the beginning, was overjoyed when he was appointed, and it was the dream of a military general to make meritorious contributions.
Guan Sheng recommended another person, who was the righteous brother Jing Mu Qian Hao Siwen.
Immediately, Guan Sheng and Hao Siwen followed Xuanzan to Tokyo to meet Cai Jing.
After Cai Jing took the test for Guan Sheng, he ordered him to be a general, leading 20,000 elite soldiers from Hebei, and Hao Siwen and Xuanzan were the vanguard, and Guan Sheng led the army to Liangshan to kill.
At the same time, after Cai Jing and Tong Guan discussed, they replaced several state capitals such as Jeju and Yunzhou around Liangshan with confidants as prefects, and transferred several generals and elite soldiers from other places to station in these state capitals to form an encirclement of Liangshan.
As soon as the imperial army moved, Liangshan, who had done a very good job in the intelligence system, got the news.
Yangshan, Juyi Hall!
Compared with the last time the court attacked, this time, the leaders are no longer so depressed, in their opinion, the combat effectiveness of the court officials and troops is no more than that, I don't see that Hu Yanzhuo, Han Tao, and Peng Qi are sitting next to them now!
The horse infantry and cavalry of Liangshan alone easily defeated the official army, not to mention that the biggest geographical advantage of Liangshan was 800 miles of water, and the Liangshan army did not fight, so it completely defeated the official army.
Despite this, the leaders did not dare to underestimate the imperial court too much, after all, the Great Song Dynasty was a behemoth, and they were all once the people of the Great Song Dynasty.
Wu Yong, Gongsun Sheng, Chai Jin, Hu Yanzhuo and other long-term vision, but they are not so optimistic, they know that the Great Song Dynasty is not so easy to mess with, especially Lu Zhishen, who was born in the Western Army, knows that the more than 200,000 border troops are powerful, and they beat the Western Xia Kingdom.
However, Lu Zhishen is not too worried, although the Western Army is powerful and has many generals, there is no naval army, and it is impossible to move back and forth in these eight hundred miles of water.
Haobai looked at the many leaders below and asked, "The news of the imperial army has been clarified!"
Immediately, a leader stood up and replied, "The imperial court has about 5,000 cavalry and 15,000 infantry in this army, a total of more than 20,000. ”
"Coming to Guan Sheng, he is a descendant of the famous general Guan Yu in the late Han Dynasty, proficient in the art of war, making a green dragon glaive knife, with the courage of ten thousand people, he was recommended to that Cai Jing by Xuanzan. ”
Under Guan Sheng, there are two pioneers, one is Hao Siwen of Jingmu Qian, and the other is Ma Xuanzan of Choujun, both of whom are skilled in martial arts. ”
Hao Bai nodded slightly, he naturally knew about these three people, especially Guan Sheng.
But Guan Sheng's reputation in the imperial army and the rivers and lakes has never been obvious, and almost none of the leaders present have heard of him, and Hao Siwen and Ma Xuanzan of the ugly county are not very famous.
At this time, Wu Yong said: "Brother Qiyu, according to the investigation, there seem to be signs of the movement of troops and horses in Jeju, Yunzhou and several surrounding state capitals. ”
Hao Bai was slightly stunned, it seems that the imperial court attaches great importance to Liangshan, and this is preparing to encircle and annihilate Liangshan in one fell swoop.
In the Water Margin, Liang Shan didn't drag it like this, and it was only after attacking the Daimyo's Mansion that he annoyed Cai Jing.
There is no way, Liang Zhongshu of the Daimyo Mansion is Cai Jing's son-in-law, Liang Shan captured the Daimyo's Mansion and cut off Liang Zhongshu's future, Cai Jing naturally couldn't bear it.
Nowadays, the imperial court attaches so much importance to Liangshan, it seems that Liangshan's performance is too eye-catching!
All the leaders looked at Haobai, waiting for him to give the order to meet the officers and soldiers.
Hao Bai smiled slightly, and then said solemnly: "The generals will listen to the order!"
"Yes!"
The leaders stood up and said yes.
Hao Bai said: "That Guan Sheng led the army to come, and Jeju, Yunzhou and other state capitals have mobilized troops and horses, which is to form a joint encirclement of my Liangshan, and my Liangshan army should take the initiative to attack and give the officers and troops a head-on attack!"
"Hu Yanzhuo, Qin Ming, Hua Rong, Wu Song, and Wu Dalang, as the vanguard! Lin Chong and Lu Zhishen led the Chinese army to ......."
Haobai also arranged for many generals one by one this time.
Guan Sheng is a descendant of the famous general Guan Yu, who is proficient in the art of war, and it seems that Jeju, Yunzhou and other surrounding state capitals have transferred elite soldiers and strong generals.
If Guan Sheng's army is steady and steady, set up camp, and cooperate with the officers and soldiers of the state capitals, Liangshan's soldiers and horses will not be able to help them, and after a long time, Liangshan is likely to be defeated.
After all, it was the official army of the Great Song Dynasty, and it was supported by the behemoth of the Great Song Dynasty behind it, and Liangshan had no backup, once it was surrounded, it would be dangerous.
Only by taking advantage of the mobilization of troops and horses in Jeju, Yunzhou and other state capitals has not been completely completed, and taking advantage of the unstable foothold of the Guansheng army, can we take the initiative to attack and break this situation.
The general order of this operation is similar to the previous one, but this time it is the initiative to attack, and the last time it is to wait for work.
The next day, the Liangshan army horses had been drawn and went to meet the Guansheng army.
Guan Sheng led 20,000 elite soldiers from Hebei, and when he came to the boundary of Shandong, he saw the mighty Liangshan army.
Guan Sheng was slightly surprised, he didn't expect this group of Liangshan thieves to take the initiative to attack, and at this time, Hao Siwen and Xuanzan, who were the main and deputy vanguards, had already greeted them.
Among the five pioneers of Liangshan, Hu Yanzhuo, who had just joined Liangshan, also rode out.
