- However, Song Jiang from Yuncheng County met He Tao, the arresting envoy of Jezhou Prefecture, outside the yamen that day, and learned that the thief who robbed the birthday card was led by Chao Gai. Now Jeju County has issued a document asking Yuncheng County to send someone to arrest him.
Song Jiang hurriedly stabilized He Tao, and on the pretext of going home to rest and waiting for the magistrate to sit down and open the office, Song Jiang secretly flew to Dongxi Village to report the news. He never thought that when he went, people at Chao Gaizhuang had already gone to Zhuangkong to ask questions in the village. Only then did the farmers learn that dozens of Chao Gai's men had gone east before dawn.
Song Jiang saw that everyone in the village had been taken away, and he guessed that Chao Gai had gotten the news. Chao Gai and others walked for another half day, and even if the county mobilized troops and horses to pursue them, it was already too late.
Immediately he returned to the county and led He Tao to see the new county magistrate Shi Wenbin.
He Tao just thought that the county magistrate had just opened the court, and he had no doubts about him.
The former magistrate of Yuncheng County has been promoted to another place because of his meritorious service.
Although Shi Wenbin, the newly arrived county magistrate, had been in office for only two months, he was an upright official and honest in his work. Shi Wenbin also tried his best to resettle some farmers who were displaced by Kuotian, so they were very popular among the officials and people of Yuncheng County.
When Wenbin heard that the thieves who robbed the Grand Master's birthday card were actually under his rule, he quickly ordered the county lieutenant to take two Dutou No. 1 policemen and a hundred soldiers to go to Dongxi Village to capture the people.
They both have heads. One has the same surname and given name. He is eight feet four and a half inches tall. He has a tiger beard that is one foot and five inches long. His face is as heavy as jujubes, his eyes are bright as stars, and he looks like Guan Yun. People all over the county call him Beautiful Beard. male.
The other one is named Lei Heng. He is seven feet five inches tall, has a purple face and a beard with a fan ring. He has extraordinary physical strength and can jump over a wide stream of three to two feet, so people all over the county call him a winged tiger. He was originally a blacksmith from this county. Later, he opened a dormitory house and killed cattle for gambling. Although he is righteous, he is only a little narrow-minded.
Both of them had learned martial arts, so the squire in the county recommended them to be the chief police officers.
When Yuncheng County officials arrived in Dongxi Village, they did not expect that Chao Gai and his gang had disappeared, so they had to capture a group of neighbors and return to the Yamen to pay their respects.
Shi Wenbin was a rare parent who did not arrest people randomly just because it was the Grand Master's business. After careful interrogation, He Tao was asked to take the two Chao Gai dealers who were unwilling to leave the village to Jeju, and let the rest of the innocent neighbors go back.
He Tao brought the two villagers back to Jezhou and forced them to confess. He learned that Chao Gai and his group had gone to Shijie Village to look for the three men of the Ruan family, and that they could match Bai Sheng's confession.
Shijie Village is close to Liangshan. He Tao was afraid of encountering Liangshan thieves, so he asked the prefect of Jeju to hire a bandit patrol officer and a commander of Xiangjun.
The army was about to come to Shijie Village when Yuncheng County reported that Liangshan people had looted Dongma Village and killed all Baozheng and his family in Dongma Village. Most of the people in the village were coerced and sent up the mountain.
The leader was none other than Chao Yong, the son of Chao Gai, who was responsible for the robbery. Chao Gai again raised the banner of upholding justice for heaven in Liangshan and recruited troops everywhere.
He Tao learned that Chao Gai had gone to Liangshan, so he dared not take hundreds of people to capture him, so he had to report to Mingzhizhou again.
It was related to Cai Jing's birthday, and the prefect did not dare to shirk it. He also ordered Huang An, the commander of the prefecture's capital, and two commanders to go to Liangshan to capture Chao Gai and others within a certain date.
After the Liangshan soldiers returned from Dongma Village, before the news spread, they visited several large houses that harmed the people in a radius of hundreds of miles for several days, and gained countless money and food.
Although there were two places where people gathered to resist, there were not many casualties as Lin Chong and other leaders took the lead.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of Liangshan and the reputation of being a man of justice gradually spread throughout the countryside. Every day, farmers from nearby villages whose fields were expropriated came up the mountain to join the team.
On this day, all the leaders were discussing matters in the Juyi Hall. They saw a young man coming up the mountain and said: "The Jeju Prefecture sent officers to lead about a thousand people and four to five hundred large and small boats. I saw them on the stone I live in Hudangli, Jie Village, and I came here to report this."
Chao Gai smiled and said: "After waiting for so many days, the officers and soldiers have finally arrived. These days, Liangshan has nearly two thousand men and horses, but there are not enough weapons. Their arrival has solved an urgent need. Can the leaders have a plan to make the officers and soldiers go alone?" Can¡¯t we get away? This is how I can show my reputation in Liangshan.¡±
Wu Yong shook his feather fan and said with a smile: "This matter is simple. Let the three men of the Ruan family hide in the reed swamps first. When the officers and soldiers get to the golden beach, we will send them to a pass. When they are far away from the water, Ruan The brothers then took their boats and killed them through the gate, making sure that no one could escape."
Chao Yong said again: "There are few horses in the village. When they come to attack, the horses will be in Shijie Village. The three heroes of the Ruan family can go and get them as a group."
Chao Gai smiled and said: "There are a group of brothers here who are like wolves and tigers. The officers and soldiers are just chickens and dogs. Everyone listened to the order. Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaowu hid in the reeds. After the officers and soldiers went up the mountain, they robbed the officers and soldiers' boats. , cutting off their retreat, Ruan Xiaoqi led people to Shijie Village to pick up their horses, and the other leaders followed.??Dazhai defeated the enemy. "
In addition, Jeju Du Du command Huang An and the government's arrest inspection to lead the three commanders to the Shiji Village. It took two days to requisition more than a hundred boats of various sizes from villages near and far. Then he led the people onto the boat, waved flags and shouted, and rushed to the golden beach to fight.
The village, which was originally filled with the crowing of cocks and the barking of dogs, was filled with chicken feathers after the officers and soldiers left, and they were complaining incessantly.
Although his men captured a lot of poultry from the village to show their respect, Huang An was used to the skills of chefs in restaurants in the city, so how could he get used to eating this village food. Therefore, as soon as he gathered enough ships, Huang An ordered his troops and horses to rush to Liangshan.
Looking at the maze-like waterways in Shijie Lake, the Jeju officers and soldiers who came to Liangshan Water Lake for the first time were immediately disoriented.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????]
Although Huang An served in Jeju, there were bandits hiding in Liangshan Shuibo, but because Liangshan had a complicated terrain and was located at the junction of several state capitals, the states were passing the blame to each other, and no one came to suppress the bandits.
Huang An has never been to Liangshan Shuibo because of this, but he has heard that bandits are rampant in Liangshan and often go out to robber.
After entering the reed marsh, there are reeds as tall as a person on both sides. What is behind the reeds is completely invisible.
After walking not far, I heard a sudden sound in the reeds.
An officer and soldier shouted: "Be careful, someone is shooting arrows."
Huang An was so frightened that he fell on the boat and grabbed a soldier to block him.
"Plop"
"Plop"
The space for hiding on the boat was small, and the officers and soldiers behind were pushing and shoving to hide under others. Those who knew how to swim did not hesitate to jump into the water and hide under the boat.
The fishermen who were forced by the officers and soldiers to drive the boat looked at the officers and soldiers in a mess, suppressed a smile and said: "Sir, it's just a group of egrets."
When Huang Anzheng was frightened, he dared to raise his head and saw a group of egrets flying in the sky. Then he angrily let go of the soldiers he was holding.
The soldier who was caught by Huang An to block an arrow just now was so frightened that he almost kicked Huang An into the water. Fortunately, the fisherman stopped him after warning him. After Huang An let go, he quietly moved his feet a few steps away to avoid being caught to block the arrow later.
Huang An was sweating on his forehead as he looked at the officers and soldiers in a mess.
On this trip, we nominally brought the troops of the Third Command Troop, which should have numbered 1,500 people. However, in fact, excluding the quota of people who usually had free pay, the troops of the Third Command Troop were less than 1,000 people, and many of them were old and weak.
I heard that Liangshan has been recruiting troops and horses these days, and the number of troops has already exceeded a thousand. Fortunately, it has not been long. Huang An concluded that Liangshan's troops and horses are short of weapons, otherwise Huang An would not dare to attack Liangshan with such a few troops.
However, looking at the endless reed marsh at this time, Huang An was also a little timid. If Liangshan did not confront them with open swords and guns, but just hid in the reed marsh and made a sneak attack, it would be hard to say whether they would win or lose.
Huang An glanced at the officers and soldiers behind him, thought for a while and said, "Wang Nan, you lead people to explore the road ahead to prevent the army from being ambushed by grass bandits."
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡
There was some disturbance along the way, and the officers and soldiers were in a panic. Fortunately, there was no danger along the way and there was no surprise attack by Liangshan troops.
Turning out of the reed swamp and looking at the unobstructed view of the lake and the golden beach just around the corner, Huang Anxin felt relieved and said with a smile: "They are just grass bandits who don't know the art of war. Let's leave this place unused and let us march straight in. When we arrived at Jinshatan, all the soldiers listened. If you kill a bandit, you will be rewarded with a reward of one thousand yuan. If you catch the bandit leader Chao Gai, you will be rewarded with a reward of one thousand yuan. "
When all the officers and soldiers heard that Chao Gai offered a reward of one thousand guan, they immediately wiped away their previous timid attitude and rushed to the golden beach with Huang An in a swarm. The officers and soldiers of Yidu who were left guarding the ship by Huang An secretly complained that it was bad luck.
The thatched houses built on the golden beach have all been demolished at this time. Huang An lined up on the golden beach and rushed towards the mountain without stopping. - Didn't finish reading?
