Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 239 He Guan's Jiuqu Ileum, Liangshan's Magical Weapon 【Subscription】

Strange things happen every year, especially this year.

The annihilation of the 5000-step cavalry earlier has already caused half of Tokyo to hear the cry, because 7000 of the [-] people were the imperial guards stationed in Beijing.And this time, the [-] pacers that He Guan brought out were all the Imperial Guards stationed in Beijing. Not to mention half of them were householders in Tokyo City, there was always a third.I heard that the gossip said that Taiwei He was defeated in Fan County, lost troops and lost generals, and now he can only guard the city of Fan County to guard against bandits.The whole city of Tokyo burst into tears.

The court covered its ears and closed its eyes, as if it hadn't been seen or heard.The whole court seemed to have forgotten about He Guan and the troops. No one cared about how much He Guan would lose before he defended the city.So how big of an army does Liangshanbo need to be able to fight so that He Guan doesn't dare to accept the army?
Not to mention that no important court official would send him back then, Lu Qian was just the little Marquis of the Palace Marshal's Mansion.But now, people are the masters of the largest village in the world.Who can deny that he has great talent?
This rebellion has made a name for itself, and it's also a sign of talent, isn't it?And also a genius in the world.

The ones who were defeated by him were all the soldiers and horses of the whole government, and even the tasks of the commander-in-chief.There may be more Taiwei in the future.

Isn't it funny?The little Marquis Yu killed the Taiwei who was in charge of the imperial bodyguard?

Such a powerful person, who has been hanging out in Tokyo for many years but is just a little Yuhou, is there no Bole in the Song Dynasty, or is there no Bole?I don't know how many talents will be buried.

No one cares about this.Those scholar-bureaucrats who open their mouths about the people of the world, but shut their mouths about the country and the country, also seem to have amnesia.All the high-ranking people are scrambling to pass on the freshly released Zhao Liangsi.

This was a man who came from a wealthy family in the North and also served as Guanglu Qing of the Liao Dynasty.However, he could not forget the Han family, cherish the memory of his old master, and resolutely return south. This is truly a great act of benevolence and righteousness, which should be passed down to scholars all over the world.

Everyone seems to have forgotten that Zhao Liangsi, whose real name is Ma Zhi, has returned to the Song Dynasty for four years. When he first proposed the strategy of "joining the Jin Dynasty and destroying the Liao Dynasty", countless scholar-bureaucrats made fun of him.Now the reason why the literati and bureaucrats praised him was not because the current emperor praised him this time, and even gave him the surname Zhao.

They seem to have forgotten He Guan and Lu Qian, and they were also forgotten by the literati and doctors of Shilin in those four years.

Only the people in Tokyo City have not forgotten everything, and the market has not forgotten everything.

After Guan Sheng passed by Tokyo with his gay friends, he felt bad.

This is really gossip, and there are all kinds of absurd rumors.Some pointed at He Guan, some at Gao Qiu, some at Cai Jing, and even the current emperor.

The emperor, on behalf of the sky patrol hunting, the prime minister of the mountains and rivers.Not to mention that everyone must have a keen eye like a torch, like a bole watching a horse, and recognize great talents among all talents.But it is also necessary to use people like tools to take advantage of each other.It is to put people who can match each other's horses in positions where they have access to many middle and lower-level officials.But the current emperor obviously did not do this well. What about Cai Jing and the other six thieves, and Gao Qiu, a talented person?

Is this the case for the people of Tokyo City?And when the mood comes, everyone acts boldly and unscrupulously.In the teahouse and restaurant, there were people talking and comparing openly.Even Ma Zhi was criticized as an opportunistic villain.The reason why he abandoned the Liao Dynasty and returned to the Song Dynasty was mainly because he had been convicted of the Liao court and had no future.

Guan Shengren passed by Tokyo for one night, and Tang Bin collected a whole bunch of tabloids.

Compared with Guan Sheng and Hao Siwen, who were dedicated to serving the Song Dynasty, the court was not so sacred in the eyes of the three heroes of Baodu Mountain.Otherwise, Tang Bin, Wen Zhongrong, and Cui Ye would not have gone to Luocao.Even Tang Bin, who was a military officer, wanted to go to Liangshan at first.

It's not that after killing someone, you have to go to the grass. After running away, you can go to another place, and you can live happily.Thinking so, Tang Bin can imagine how loyal he is to Da Song in his heart.

Guan Sheng and Hao Siwen hated those tabloids very much, and thought it was treasonous to slander important court officials and even praise the emperor.But the three of Tang Bin looked different.The gossip and gossip in it called the three bandits who had just changed careers, and they were so excited to watch.

In the past, when they stayed in the remote place of Baodu Mountain in the east of the river, where could they see such strange talks and gossips of big figures?So excitement is a must.

Fortunately, the IQs of the three were still online, and before the group arrived in Fan County, they lost all the tabloids.

When the group arrived in Fan County, they saw that the morale of the Song Army was low and the morale of the army was uncertain.It can be said that everyone is downcast.Xuan Zan's injury has not yet healed, but he insists on coming to meet his good friend.Liu Zhen, the commander of the Tiger Wing Army, also went out to meet him.This man was the former general of the war that day.The defeat in the war, He Guan's guilt is not small, and Liu Zhen can't escape the responsibility.But how to punish him is not up to He Guan.I can only call him a crime and a meritorious service.

Therefore, Liu Zhen is one of the people who are more eager to win among the current Fan County officials and troops.

The generals Cheng Wanli selected, whether they were Hua Rong, Zhang Qing, or Zhang Zhongxiong, who had the mediocre record, were all extraordinary people.In this way, He Guan and others had high hopes for Guan Sheng, who was recommended by Xuan Zan.

When Liu Zhen came out of the city gate, she saw Guan Sheng surrounded by dozens of riders at the first sight. He was indeed a descendant of the righteous and brave King Wu'an. , with phoenix eyes facing the sky, face like heavy jujubes, lips like vermilion, he looks like a good-looking person.

Then all the generals in Heguan were waiting, and Xuanzan led Guan Sheng, Hao Siwen and other five people to the Jietang. After paying their respects, they stood at the bottom of the steps.He Guan looked at Guan Sheng, he was a good man, with an imposing body of six feet two or three, and a dignified man.He was overjoyed and said, "How young is the general?"

Guan Sheng replied: "The young general is thirty years old."

He Guan laughed loudly, "The year of Li's birth is the time when my husband will make great achievements. Grass bandits are rampant in Liangshanpo. May I ask the general what is the best strategy to break the siege of the army?"

"The young general has just arrived, so he dare not speak falsely about his military strategy. On the way, he can see that there are many soldiers in the city, who are also tall and healthy, and their armor is bright. The only problem is that their morale is low and their fighting spirit is low. Guan Sheng is not talented, and he has three points of courage. He is willing to raise his sword and cut Bandits, with the prestige of the army. When the soldiers are high-spirited and morale is full, the Taiwei can send his troops to defeat the enemy, wipe out the bandits, and wash the water."

At any rate, he has been in the officialdom for many years. Although his ambitions have not been stretched, but to be able to sit in a position with a lot of general affairs like patrolling, Guan Sheng must be a person who does not know good and bad, and does not know how to advance or retreat.He said these few words very decently, which made He Guan very happy when he heard it.

He has already reported the defeat to Tokyo City, but the number of lost soldiers and horses has been greatly reduced with his spring and autumn style of writing.

You know, when He Guan sent troops, he brought a total of 110 battalions of troops, with an average of 450 people in each battalion.That's really hehe.After the Northern Expedition defeated Zhao Lao Er, the Imperial Army of the Northern Song Dynasty, including the southeast, the north, and the west, when was there a battalion of 450 people?

The Fengjie Army has 400 people per battalion, which is already a small number.It's all put together.

So now He Guan is really calculated according to the military strength of the 110th Battalion.In this way, his so-called [-] steps are only in the early [-]s, which is still the number on the roster.As for the actual number, Zhao Ji has a bit of a B number in his heart.

In this way, He Guan now has more than 2 people guarding Fan County. Isn't this a huge loss of troops?

This guilt is naturally very small.

Counting the severe cold in winter, if it weren't for He Guan's fame, it would be difficult to cover it tightly.If Tong Guan or Gao Qiu were to be the commander in chief, it would be said that the winter was severe and the soldiers were suffering, so they had the right to stop fighting and retreat.As soon as you do something, you only need to hide it from the emperor of the Zhao family. Who dares to play it?
Now He Guan can only suffer punishment, but the foundation has not been touched yet.He Guan was fulfilling his duties to the court, but he had no intention of including himself.Even a small defeat is inevitable.It was so easy to wake up the important ministers in the court, and the elite of the imperial army could not even defeat a group of grass bandits, so how could they go to conquer the Liao Dynasty?

It's okay to take advantage of the fire, but don't make yourself burnt.Then Daliao has been established for more than a hundred years, can it fall easily?

Just like the Song Dynasty, isn't Xixia and it very similar to the current Daliao?
They all lost soldiers and generals, and suffered heavy losses.Daliao even lost Tokyo.But as long as their Nanjing government is in control of the [Sixteen States of Yanyun], and the Liao Kingdom has millions of Han people in the north, don't they need soldiers, money, food and equipment?How can it be easily provoked?At that time, there was no mutton to eat, and the screaming caused a commotion.

He Guan has always disagreed with the policy of "joining Jin to destroy Liao".In the past, no one in the court looked up to Tong Guan and Ma Zhi, but this year the Liao Emperor's imperial conquest was defeated, and now the emperor showed his intentions and gave Ma Zhi the country's surname Zhao, and the situation was reversed all of a sudden.Therefore, He Guan also thought so.

But what Taiwei He fears most is that the conquest will fail and tens of thousands of troops will be lost. How should the compensation be provided?If Liangshan is not broken and the thieves cannot be accommodated, this disaster will be difficult for him.

Even though the status of the imperial guards in Tokyo City is low, they cannot tolerate such humiliation.In that normal period, all the imperial guards gathered in Zuo Zangku to make a fuss because they didn't get rewards as scheduled.Tens of thousands of teachers have been lost without a pension, and He Guan's reputation will be ruined, and his life and future may be lost forever.

Therefore, He Guan decided to join Liang Shanbo.

Early the next morning, Lu Qian was receiving Hong Tianlei in the village.The defeated general's life was saved by Liang Shanbo, how could he not be grateful?However, even though Ling Zhen was like this, he still didn't want to fall into trouble.The reason why I came here this time was to repay Lu Qian's favor.

Hu Yanzhuo could think of using stone cannons to meet the enemy that day, how could Lu Qian not think of it?
At the beginning of his journey, all he could think about was artillery.It's just that the power of the gunpowder I made is really touching, which makes people very discouraged.When he caught Hong Tianlei, the idea of ​​artillery came to Lu Qian's heart again.This is the number one gunner in the Song Dynasty. He has really seen artillery and gunpowder.As long as he sincerely surrenders, how can Lu Qian not get a cannon for trial?
It's just that Song Heizi in the original "Water Margin" easily recruited and surrendered to Liang Shanbo's Thunderbolt, but now Lu Qian has become a loyal minister and good general of the Song Dynasty in front of Lu Qian.Like Hu Yanzhuo and others, they are grateful to Liang Shan Bogui, but they are unwilling to surrender.

Lu Qian had thought about this matter carefully.Telling the facts and making sense, regardless of Mr. Shi's buff bonus, the biggest difference between him and Song Heizi lies in the "recruitment".

Compared with Hei Saburo, who was about to serve the imperial court and was waiting for the words of Zhao'an, Lu Qian never revealed that he was going to be recruited from the beginning to the end.

This incident illustrates the fact that Zhaoan really has a huge attraction for many surrendered generals from the imperial court in Liangshanbo.

Ling Zhen was unwilling to surrender to Liangshan, so Lu Qian asked him to do something, but Hong Tianlei couldn't refuse.That is to ask him to lead Liang Shanbo's stone cannon research team to manufacture three types of counterweight stone cannons, large, medium and small, with the simplest structure and technology.That is, the Xiangyang cannon used by the Mongols in the official history.

Anyone in later generations who likes to read historical novels at a certain point will know more about what the Xiangyang Cannon is.In the early years, Lu Qian also looked up the manufacturing process of that thing on the Internet, but it is really a long time ago, and now he can still be a reporter, only in the name of counterweight.

Counterweight type, as the name suggests, the Xiangyang Cannon essentially uses a counterweight box to throw out stone bullets.

Compared with the current multi-point gun, the counterweight stone gun has a longer range.The iron-clad Xiangyang is not a joke. The widest part of its moat is as wide as half a mile.Ordinary stone cannons can't throw stone bullets on the top of the city at all.But Xiangyang Pao can do it.And because it is the force of the counterweight box, the operator is greatly reduced compared with the multi-tip gun.And because the weight of the counterweight box is equivalent, the accuracy of its firing point is higher than that of the old-fashioned multi-shoot guns pulled by manpower.

As long as time is given, the stone cannon team under the Liangshan Boshang Ordnance Supervision will be able to produce an effective counterweighted stone cannon sooner or later.In this time and space, it is no longer the Xiangyang cannon, but the Liangshan cannon.

Most of the members of the stone cannon team were the gunners of the Song Army captured last time, and all of them were disciples and grandchildren brought out by Ling Zhen.

But the level of these people is obviously not as good as Ling Zhen. Facing Fan County's predicament, Lu Qian urgently needs a powerful weapon that can quickly open the situation.He asked Hong Tianlei to lead the group so that he could repay his debt of favor to Liang Shanbo.

Experts shot, the effect is really extraordinary.The various performance indicators of Liangshan Cannon improved by leaps and bounds, and soon met Lu Qian's requirements.Now is the time for them to show their talents.

Although the Liangshan artillery on the front line needs to be made from local materials and made locally.But it couldn't be delayed for a few days.As the top gunner of the Song Dynasty, Ling Zhen felt uncomfortable when he saw that the 'magic weapon' he had developed was about to be used against the imperial army.But he couldn't stand the temptation, and he really wanted to see the power of this Liangshan cannon with his own eyes.Lu Qian heard this and naturally agreed.Therefore, he followed the craftsmen of the General Ordnance Supervision to the front line of Fan County.
