Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 172 Cai Gao decides on Liangshan Park

In the morning, the mist by the water is dispelled by the sun.

The Liangshan camp standing on the banks of the Jishui River is revealed in Dong Ping's eyes.This is a very well-organized camp. Whether it is the main camp in the middle or the sub-campaigns at the four corners, they are all fortified. Outside the camp, there are antlers, repelling horses, and a trench of unknown depth.

From the size of the camp, Dong Ping was able to roughly estimate the number of Liangshan troops, but it was far less than the number reported by the Qingzhou defeated army. The four-corner small camps were all first-class camps, and the main camp in the center only had 4000 people. , the total strength is roughly 5000 people.

As mentioned above, Dong Ping is not ignorant of Liangshan. He knows the organizational system of Liangshan Army: 500 people per battalion, which is equivalent to the official army.The difference is that the 500 people they have are real 500 people, not like the official army.

Now he has only 2000 people under his command, so he won't go head to head with Liang Shan like Qin Ming.This is what Dong Ping was thinking of when he marched to Shibalipu, Shibali West, Yuncheng yesterday afternoon, and guarded it against the town wall.

Dong Ping was still so open-minded in the spy camp, so he couldn't escape the eyes of Liangshan army sentries. Lin Chong and the others got the letter and didn't care about it with a slight smile.They already had an absolute advantage in this battle, so what if Dong Ping took a few glances at them?
Halfway through the hour, the drum for gathering soldiers was beating in the camp.Lin Chong left Lu Zhishen to guard the battalion, took Yang Zhi with him, ordered two battalions of main force and two battalions of recruits, and the troops went straight to Shibalipu.

Dong Ping was really skilled and courageous, and he didn't go back until the two thousand Liangshan troops had left the camp.

The wall of Shibalipu is only one foot high, low and thin. Although Dong Ping will defend the town, he will not just defend and not attack.This is not his character, and it is not good for fighting.It is too demoralizing to ask Liang Shanjun to show off under his nose.Not to mention that everyone in the army knew that the Qingzhou Army had been defeated, and their morale was not high.

When Lin Chong and Yang Zhi arrived with [-] soldiers, a Song army lined up outside Shibalipu.

The first general, armed with two spears, is wearing a simple silver iron armor like silver frost washing the ground, a water-polished phoenix wing helmet on his head, and a blue battle jacket with a beautiful unicorn pattern.There are two small flags inserted in the quiver behind the back, and a couplet is written on it: "The heroic general with two spears is a romantic hero".This is Dong Ping!

Lin Chong and Yang Zhi had also heard about Dong Ping's heroic deeds, and when they saw his appearance again, they all praised him.

The ancients said: phases are born from the heart.This sentence is still believed by many people as the truth in the 21st century. In fact, although this sentence is not scientific, it also has statistical significance.In today's era, it is even more taken for granted by many people.

Therefore, in Yuncheng County, Zhu Dong with a portrait of Guan Gong will always be more popular than Lei Heng; Guan Sheng, relying on his ancestors, even though he will go up the mountain later, he easily surpassed the leopard head Lin Chong in terms of ranking and seating. .

Right now, when Lin Chong and Yang Zhi came to see Dong Ping, this was their first impression.So, from ancient times to the present, how important it is to have a good appearance can be seen.

Dong Ping here also saw Lin Chong at first sight.As the current No. [-] person in Liang Shanbo, because of Gao Qiu's relationship, and because of his relationship with Lu Qian, Lin Chong's name is still very famous.

"General Dong invites you." Lin Chong immediately said, "Today I am strong and you are weak. Even though you are brave, how dare you be me when you are a few generals! Don't you hear an ancient saying: a building will fall, not a single tree can support it. You see, I have all the powerful soldiers under my command, so how can I rely on my family? Why don’t you come and surrender early, so as to avoid death, and you can also do justice for the heavens and help the poor and the needy.”

Dong Ping was furious, and replied: "Rebel against the country, you should be a madman, how dare you speak nonsense!" After finishing speaking, he raised two guns in his hand and went straight to Lin Chong.

Here Yang Zhi was ordered to take Dong Ping straight with an iron spear in his hand.Dong Ping's pair of iron spears are so mysterious that they can't be regarded as human beings.But Yang Zhi didn't get his name in vain.In Zhengchenying, the two fought for more than fifty bouts, regardless of victory or defeat.After fighting for a long time, Lin Chong was afraid that Yang Zhi would lose, so he taught Ming Jin to withdraw the army.Yang Zhi reined in his horse and came back.Dong Ping raised two guns in his hands, as if he wanted to chase and enter the battle.But looking at the crossbowmen waiting in front of the Liangshan army, he felt that if he continued to chase, he would also lose his life.

Lin Chong looked at the wall of Shibalipu, and as far as his eyes could see, he could naturally know that the leading men were probably crossbowmen, but it was a pity that his eyesight was limited, so he couldn't distinguish clearly. "It's a pity that the clairvoyance has not been found yet, otherwise the city wall looks kind, if there are not many crossbowmen, we will go straight there." He sighed.

As the second leader of the Liangshan Army, Lin Chong knew how important Lu Qian was for clairvoyance, and of course the gunpowder that could already be declared a failure.The former spent a lot of money to acquire the transparent and flawless large crystal, which is expensive, but it is rarely available in the market.The latter also cost a lot of money. The power of gunpowder he knew was not low in Lin Chong's view, but Lu Qian was disappointed.Even for a while, he showed that disappointed expression on his face, which surprised Lin Chong.

However, Dongping Mansion and Jeju Mansion are generally the same, with only four battalions of forbidden troops under its jurisdiction. Thinking about the performance of the forbidden army of Jeju Mansion back then, what kind of heroes can the forbidden army of Dongping Mansion be?Or how well equipped can it be?Liangshan Army's current military equipment is not bad, especially the main battle battalion.Whether it is the armor rate or the bow of the god arm, the number can be compared with that of the imperial army.

If there are only a few god-armed bows in the imperial army of Dongping Mansion...

The blue-faced beast didn't say anything.A month ago, Zhu Fu found some master mirror makers from Mizhou, and Lu Qian handed over the few flawless crystals he received at a high price to those old men, asking them to do 'clairvoyance'.It is said that it can see the face of a person several miles away, and the silk hair can be seen.This was beyond Yang Zhi's imagination. He didn't believe in Lu Qian like Lin Chong did. He couldn't believe it if he couldn't see the real thing.

But he couldn't deny the meaning of Lin Chong's words, this is indeed a good opportunity now.If there were only archers on the city wall instead of god-armed archers, and the armored soldiers of the two main battle battalions rushed up, the Shibalipu and Dong Ping's army would be broken.Yang Zhi has absolutely no doubts about this.

Lu Qian did not find a chance to meet Wu Song in Qinghe County. The latter led Qinghe Tuyong and was firmly guarding the county.Then Qinghe County will be scared to pee by Lu Qian's army who came to kill again.

This feeling that as long as the thieves are willing to break the city, they will be able to break the city, makes Qinghe County so sad.Thinking that he is a majestic magistrate, he should be trampled and trampled so far without dignity.

Lu Qian then dispatched Xue Yong and Jiao Ting to lead troops to Yanggu County, making a sign that he was going to enter Puzhou, but in fact he took over Yang Lin's group who were heading south from the Yellow River.The two add up to four or five hundred healthy horses, and with the horses compensated by Hujiazhuang, not only five hundred horses can make up for it, but also one or two hundred horses as backup, and a real cavalry battalion can be set up.

It's a pity that Liangshanbo doesn't have any special cavalry generals yet. Regardless of the five tigers and eight husks, none of them is a professional cavalry officer.Those horsemen with heads and so on can't be taken seriously.

Other fierce generals such as Lin Chong, Suo Chao, and Yang Zhi know more about horses. These days, it is rare for warriors not to love horses, rather than being good at commanding cavalry.Anyway, in Lu Qian's eyes, if you look at the entire Shuibo Liangshan, there is no second professional cavalier except for the pair of whips Hu Yanzhuo.

But those whips Hu Yanzhuo are still thousands of miles away.I don't know when he was sent by Gao Qiu.

The news spread quickly, Liangshan Bo soldiers divided into two groups and defeated the Qingzhou Army and the Puzhou Army.It was as if it had sprouted wings and spread throughout the surrounding prefectures and counties of Shuibo as quickly as possible.

Zhang Qing of Dongchang Mansion immediately chose to stop marching.

And after such news reached Tokyo, Cai Jing had no choice but to devote himself to paying attention to this matter no matter how far-sighted Cai Jing was.The reason is that Liangshan Park is too close to Tokyo.If that Lu Qian was sent west by the army, let alone killed outside Tokyo, even if he called Nanjing Yingtian Mansion into emergency, Cai Taishi, who was in power in Bingguo, would be blamed by the emperor.There are even rumors that Kuo Tiansuo is to blame for Jingdong's unrest, which is really unreasonable!

Although Cai Jing is still in power this time, compared with the previous Bingguo, it is already inferior.One of the major performances is Wang Fu.Wang Fu was an important figure in Cai Jing's revival. Cai Jing served as prime minister again. He was grateful to Wang Fu for helping him, so he appointed him Zuo Jianyi doctor, Gishizhong, and Yushi Zhongcheng.It only took two short years for Wang Fu to be promoted from the post of school secretary to Yushi Zhongcheng.It stands to reason that he should be the core figure in Cai's party, but the fact is that Wang Fu is drifting away from Cai Jing.

Because Cai Jing did not get along with Zheng Juzhong, the privy envoy, but Wang Fu made good friends with Zheng Juzhong. Cai Jing was annoyed that his "stance" was not firm, so he was very angry, and transferred him to be the secretary of the household department.At this time, Cai Jing wanted to use the state's insufficient funds as his crime.Not long after, the forbidden troops of the squadrons went to Zuo Zangku to make noise because they did not reward as scheduled. After Wang Fu heard about it, he posted a big list in front of the troops, promising to reward them on a certain day in a certain month. After reading the list, everyone dispersed. The plan didn't materialize.After Wang Fu came back, he became a scholar of Hanlin and moved to Chengzhi.The gap with Cai Jing is bigger and deeper.Fortunately, his son Cai You was favored by the emperor, which made Cai Jing's reputation not to fall.

The wily Cai Jing certainly sensed this change, so the first thing he had to do was to 'keep himself clean' so that no one could find a reason to attack him.Didn't it mean that the thieves and bandits at Liangshan Po were mostly caused by Kuo Tian? Is there a problem with Liangshan Po?Where are the thieves?Aren't they all ordinary people who keep their own laws?He was about to slap Liang Shanbo to death before everyone came back to their senses.And it is necessary to need Gao Lian's assistance in this matter.He is the Du Taiwei of the Palace Marshal's Mansion, and sometimes he is more useful than the Privy Envoy.

In Gao Qiu's eyes, Grand Master Cai is still an old pine tree with deep roots, and is still reliable.

When Gao Qiu met, Cai You personally led Gao Qiu to see his father. After the servants served tea, they all retreated.There are no outsiders in the flower hall.

"Gao Taiwei, this old man has received a report that the army and horses from the five prefectures of Qilu and Shandong were dispatched to encircle and suppress Liangshanbo, but they were defeated by a group of grass bandits. Is the story of Liangshanbo true?" Cai Jing asked straight to the point.

Gao Qiu also knew the purpose of Cai Jing's invitation to come here this time, "Don't dare to lie to the old master, Liangshan Po has become a stubborn disease. There are many grassroots entrenched there, with Lu Qian's cunning and Lin Chong's bravery, he is not a real general Do not surrender." More importantly, it is only [-] miles away from Tokyo, and if there is a disturbance, it will spread throughout Tokyo in a few days.Isn't someone using Liangshan Po to attack the field expansion method?
Gao Qiu himself really didn't take Liang Shanbo seriously, but seeing that the government and army have been losing consecutive battles, and even the soldiers from the five states are invincible, it is definitely not the scabies disease, and his heart is also angry.In this matter, he and Cai Jing are 'like-minded'.

"The bandit chieftains of Liangshanbo, Lu Qian, Lin Chong, and Lu Zhishen, were originally the pillars of the imperial court, or the disciples of Qingjing Buddhism. You persecuted them, and turned the good pillars of the imperial court into the endless water. How dare the Holy Majesty know about the continuous defeat of the army and the loss of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses!"

The two of Cai Jing and Gao Qiu are like a competition between generals, if you stab him with a spear, I will strike you back with a knife.

Gao Qiu said 'there are many grass bandits entrenched', and Cai Jing named Lu Qian, Lin Chong, and Lu Zhishen.This rhetorical confrontation can't be seen on the surface, but secretly means something else.

Gao Qiu knew that Cai Jing was trying to make money from him, but he also had to be aware of this interest, and then said: "I beg the grand master to cover up, and I will save my life!" .

"Tomorrow, if someone impeaches you, you can just play: the weather is still hot, and the soldiers will not subdue the water and soil, so you have the right to stop the battle and retreat. If your majesty is angry, you will say: if you don't go to eliminate this serious trouble, you will be in trouble later. At this time, How did all the officials answer?"

In the final analysis, Cai Jing only had one request, to wipe out the bandits in Liangshan Po as soon as possible, and return Jingdong to a quiet place.With the heads of Lu Qian and Lin Chong, he would like to see who dares to say that Liangshan Po is powerful, and all the crimes are due to Na Kuotian.

Gao Qiu naturally knew about this rumor. Although the 'rumour-monger' intended to attack Cai Jing, he brought disaster to his high school sophomore.Who doesn't know that Lu Qian and Lin Chong in Liangshanbo were forced to go to Liangshan for themselves, and they were helpless?Nature has everything to do.

And that night, another express report arrived, Shibalipu was destroyed, Dongping Army was defeated and fled, but there were fireworks in the town, it turned out that hundreds of old houses seemed to be burned as white ground, and the smoke and dust rose in disorder.

When Gao Qiu saw it, he was furious at first, and then he clapped his legs and applauded. He hurriedly called the doormen and made another memorial for him.In that writing, the burning of hundreds of households in Shibalipu was the crime of Liang Shanbo, and thousands of men, women and children were all killed by Liang Shanbo.A piece of rubble was strewn all over the place, killing countless men and women.This kind of evil bandit is going against the law, disregarding the conscience, why don't they be wiped out quickly?
But you have to know that when some of these ministers go to court, there is not one memorial, but several memorials stuffed in their cuffs.Steering the rudder according to the wind, undulating with the wind is a must-have skill for many officials.

Gao Taiwei's big sleeves can accommodate the affairs of the world, and a few memorials are worth it.
