Ximen Qing was sitting in the military tent, sipping tea, waiting for good news from each battalion.
An hour later, Dai Zong came to report that Lu Zhishen and Qin Ming had attacked and severely damaged the enemy, killed the enemy general Zhang Yu, and captured more than 20,000 people. Immediately afterwards, Yue Fei came to report that the two battalions of Li Kui and Xu Ning defeated the enemy in a flanking attack. They also killed the enemy general Li Bowen and captured more than 20,000 people. . . . .
When the spies heard that Lin Chong, Guan Sheng, and Hu Yanzhuo had defeated the enemy camp, captured Gao Lie, and subdued the heavy troops, Ximen Qing put down his tea cup, breathed a long sigh of relief, and then his face was full of joy.
While achieving a great victory on land, Wu Yong in Liangshan River also severely damaged Gao Qiu's navy, captured more than 30,000 soldiers alive, and captured Gao Qiu.
So far, 150,000 of the 200,000 troops led by Gao Qiu were captured by Liangshan, and Liangshan soldiers only suffered more than 20,000 casualties. This battle was fought extremely beautifully, both in terms of effect and morale of the troops. It was a morale-boosting battle.
After Lin Chong and Guan Sheng led their troops back to the camp, Ximen Qing ordered them to rectify the soldiers and then transport the prisoners to the Liangshan headquarters. The next thing to do is to surrender these prisoners and use them for your own use. Although this is not easy, it is easy for Wu Yong, a guy who is good at attacking people's minds. Ximen Qing fully believed that in a few days, most of the prisoners would return to Liangshan and become Liangshan's elite soldiers. When the time comes, they will be scattered and mixed into various camps, so that they can experience the perfection of Liangshan firsthand, and then we will not be afraid of their disobedience.
Afterwards, Ximen Qing left many leaders to guard the army, and then, together with Lin Chong and Guan Sheng, suppressed Gao Lie and returned to the mountain stronghold.
In the Juyi Hall, Gao Qiu was kneeling at the foot of the hall, his face was so pale that it was almost a white paper.
Wu Yong, Song Jiang, Zhu Wu, Li Jun and others were standing around, pointing at Gao Qiu, talking, or laughing, as if they were watching monkeys. It even made Gao Qiu swallow his saliva, his face full of horror, and he felt regretful in his heart.
If I had known today, I would not have taken the initiative to invite troops to fight!
In fact, it was not Zhao Yunluo¡¯s idea that Gao Qiu sent troops to encircle and suppress Liangshan this time. Zhao Yunluo planned to lead the expedition in person. But Gao Qiu wanted to make great achievements so that Zhao Yunluo could know his worth and reward himself greatly, surpassing Cai Jing. Therefore, Gao Qiu accepted the task of conquering the Liangshan army on the pretext that "Your Majesty has just ascended the throne and should be based in Tokyo."
When Zhao Yunluo thought about it carefully, he felt that he should be based in Tokyo. After all, he has just ascended the throne, and many things are unstable. It is possible that several princes in the capital will not rebel, and then their courtyards will catch fire, which will be even more troublesome. Therefore, Zhao Yunluo sent 200,000 troops and asked Gao Qiu to send troops.
Gao Qiu looked down upon the Liangshan army. In his eyes, his 200,000-strong army could only crush the small Liangshan Mountains and destroy them. That's why he appointed Gao Lie and led it himself.
It¡¯s a pity that the arrogant Gao Qiu was trapped in the ditch before he could attack, unable to stand up.
While Gao Qiu was praying secretly, Ximen Qing, Lin Chong, and Guan Sheng escorted Gao Lie into the hall. Many leaders greeted each other, and Ximen Qing returned the greetings one by one. Then he kicked Gao Lie on the butt, causing him and Gao Qiu to kneel together.
Immediately, Ximen Qing sat in the hall and asked everyone to give up. Ximen Qing looked at Gao Qiu who was kneeling in the hall. Ximen Qing chuckled and said, "Gao Taiwei, this is the first time we meet. Your ceremony is a bit grand! Haha I, Ximen Qing, have heard about Gao Taiwei a long time ago. His great achievements can only be seen with his own eyes now, tsk tsk, what a loss it is!"
Gao Qiu raised his head, his mouse-like eyes moving rapidly. When he saw Ximen Qing's appearance clearly, he was shocked by Ximen Qing's youth, and then a flattering smile appeared on his face and said: "Commander Ximen, what you said is serious. I, Gao Qiu, have heard about your young commander a long time ago. A hero, I have always wanted to see him! I never thought I would see him today. Now that I have seen it with my own eyes, I feel that the rumors in the world are untrue. The commander is not just a young hero, he is like a god descending to earth. Gao Mou dare not look up to him! "
Gao Qiu is indeed a scoundrel, and he has the ability to flatter anyone easily.
Ximen Qing laughed and said: "Today I have seen that Captain Gao has sharp teeth and a sharp mouth. If he is so good at talking, no wonder he will sit on the position of Lieutenant."
"You're welcome, you're welcome!" Gao Qiu cupped his hands and said with a chuckle.
Ximen Qing knocked on the table and said: "Lieutenant Gao, this time you led 200,000 troops to attack. You are really generous. I thank you here for sending me so many prisoners! 150,000 People, tsk tsk, when I surrender them, my power in Liangshan will be doubled. When Zhao Yunluo attacks, I won¡¯t be afraid anymore. Captain Gao, do you think I should thank you?"
Gao Qiu was immediately speechless, as if he had eaten a fly.
Ximen Qing smiled, and then said: "To thank youLieutenant Gao sent me so many prisoners, and I promised Lieutenant Gao that I won't kill you. How about that? "
Gao Qiu suddenly knelt straight and said with wide eyes: "Really?"
At this time, Gao Qiu's heart became hot. It would be a blessing to be able to leave here. Although I can¡¯t go back to Tokyo, I can¡¯t go anywhere with my savings. When the time comes, I will go to another country and live happily, and I will no longer stay here.
Gao Qiu swallowed his saliva and asked, "The commander really plans to let me go?"
Ximen Qing said: "I promise Captain Gao, I won't kill you! As for the others" As he said that, Ximen Qing pointed to the leaders on both sides.
Just when Gao Qiu wanted to turn his head to take a look, he saw a big foot kicking him in the face, and then pushed his face to the ground.
Lin Chong looked ferocious and shouted sternly: "If the commander doesn't kill you, I, Lin Chong, will not be lenient. You have ruined my family and killed my parents, father-in-law and mother-in-law. How can I spare you? Don't worry, I won't let you die happily. I will torture you slowly, let you taste the greatest pain in the world, and then send you to hell!"
Gao Qiu was so frightened that he almost became incontinent. He shouted: "Lin Chong, please spare me, please spare me. If you spare me, I will listen to you in everything. I have a lot of gold and a lot of treasures. As long as you Spare my life and I will give you everything!"
Lin Chong kicked Gao Qiu on the cheek, causing him to spit out a mouth full of bloody teeth. Lin Chong shouted: "I'll buy your life with gold, hum, do you think I care about you?"
At this time, Ximen Qing smiled and said: "Lin Chong, you don't care about me, I do. When you torture him, don't forget to ask him about his treasure. Haha, I don't think there is too much gold!"
Lin Chong sneered, nodded, and said: "Don't worry, Commander, leave it to me, I will make him spit out everything buried in his ancestor's grave!"
With that said, he dragged Gao Qiu away like a dog to death.
As for Gao Lie, he was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground, then kowtowed and begged Ximen Qing for his life.
Ximen Qing waved his hand and asked the soldiers to drag him down and lock him up.
After dealing with Gao Qiu, Ximen Qingcai looked at Wu Yong and asked: "Student, I can spare you the trouble of surrendering the prisoners!"
Wu Yong said: "Wrap it on my body."
Ximen Qing asked: "How many days do you think it will take to make these captives want to surrender to Liangshan?"
Wu Yong thought for a while and said: "It will take at least more than a month. After all, there are many captives, and enlightening them requires a step-by-step process. Let them gradually realize the goodness of Liangshan and let them regard Liangshan as their home. "
Ximen Qing nodded and said: "Just over a month, we are not in a hurry to go to Tokyo."
At this time, Zhu Wudao said: "Commander, since we have to stay for more than a month, why don't we take over Dongchang Mansion, Dongping Mansion, and Daming Mansion?"
Ximen Qing slapped the table and said with a smile: "I forgot! Taking Dongping Prefecture, Dongchang Prefecture, and Daming Prefecture will greatly expand our sphere of influence. Plus the four states of Liao Kingdom and Shandong Headquarters, then all The area occupied is as much as half of the Song Dynasty! Zhao Yunlan will also be impatient by then!"
With that said, Ximen Qing glanced at the people in the Juyi Hall, and then said: "Brothers, the army will rest for three days. After three days, we will send out troops again!"
¡°Yes, Commander!¡± Everyone responded with clasped fists.
Afterwards, Ximen Qing returned to the back mountain and stayed with his parents and beloved wife.
Three days later, many leaders gathered in the Juyi Hall.
Ximen Qing cleared his throat and said: "We have summoned you here today because we have something big to do! The military advisor is talking about how it will take more than a month to surrender the troops. During this more than a month, we cannot be idle. And in There are many state capitals in the area around Liangshan that are under the jurisdiction of Zhao Yunluo, which are always hidden dangers for us. Therefore, I need you to take action and capture them one by one. As for the name, of course it is to conquer the bandit army! Haha . . ¡±
Li Kui stood up in confusion, laughed loudly, and said: "Commander, tell me, I will hit wherever Tieniu lets me hit!"
Wu Song shouted: "Commander, let me attack Yanggu County!"
Everyone asked for a fight.
Ximen Qing smiled and pressed his hand, saying: "Okay, I will fight for you in the future, you are so excited now! Wu Song, since you want to fight Yanggu County, then Yanggu County will be handed over to you as the Wolf Camp." Zhang Qing, you go to Dongping Mansion. Dong Ping, you go to Dongchang Mansion. Lin Chong, you can go to Daming Mansion with Li Kui The battalion without a mission continues to station troops at Liangshan River. Don't act rashly! I won't accompany you. You have sent out troops. From today on, I and the military advisor will be stationed in the main tent. You must act carefully.?You must act recklessly. If you put your brothers in danger by not using your brain, then I will definitely punish you with military law! Remember? "
"General, I will obey your orders!" all the leaders shouted in unison.
Ximen Qing nodded, then waved his hand and said: "Go down and get ready. By the way, Lin Chong stays!"
After everyone left, Lin Chong clasped his fists and asked, "Commander, why do you want to keep me here?"
Ximen Qing smiled and said, "I just want to ask, is Gao Qiu dead? Has the whereabouts of his baby been found out?"
