Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    But after the Jeju government sent troops to encircle and suppress Liangshan, there was no news about him for several days.  The Jeju government sent out more than ten spies, and only then did they find out from the villagers of Shijie Village that the officers and soldiers who attacked Liangshan had been completely destroyed.

    Jeju has only four commanders and the Xiang army. The three commanders who attacked Liangshan were completely destroyed. There is only one commander left in the city. It is also the most severely underpaid commander, with no more than 200 men at full strength.

    The cadre of the Grand Master's Office heard that the Liangshan bandits were so powerful and that there were only two hundred old and weak soldiers left in the city. They were deeply afraid that the Liangshan troops would take advantage of the situation to attack Jeju, so they rushed back to Tokyo overnight to report back to Cai Jing.

    Although the prefect of Jeju also wanted to abandon the city and leave, he was responsible for his responsibilities. If he left, he might not be safe, so he had to order the remaining commanding soldiers in the city to strengthen the guard. He also issued a letter to dispatch local soldiers from various counties to defend the city.  The strategy of protecting the commander with soldiers.

    But it was said that Cai Jing¡¯s birthday in Tokyo was rarely rewarded by the emperor, all officials were filial, and gold and silver poured into Cai¡¯s house like running water.

    The only thing that worries Cai Jing is that the birthday card sent by his son-in-law from Daming Mansion in Beijing was robbed again. Fortunately, the whereabouts of the thief were found this year. Unlike last year, when there was no news at all, as long as the thief is captured, the birthday card can always recover most of it.  If there are any deficiencies, local officials can be ordered to make up for them.

    When Cai Jing was waiting to recover the birthday card, he did not expect that the officer sent to Jeju came back in a panic.

    In the previous letter from Jeju, the name and whereabouts of the thief had been investigated, and his family members were supervising the case. Cai Jing originally thought that the thief must be easily captured, and the birthday card could also be recovered.

    However, looking at the dusty family members in the hall, a hint of ominousness flashed through Cai Jing's heart, and he asked in a deep voice: "How did things go?"

    At the moment, the confidant told how to find out the whereabouts of the thief in the Jie Shengsheng Gang, how to trace the thief along the way and find out that the thief fell into Cao Liangshan, and how Jeju sent troops to attack Liangshan, but the whole army was destroyed.

    At the end, he exaggerated: "There are thousands of thieves in Liangshan. After Chao Gai and a group of thieves joined the group, they robbed more than a dozen villages and recruited troops. Now I am afraid there are not thousands of them. The local Xiang army is afraid that they will not be able to resist the enemy."  , so I came back and asked the Grand Master to mobilize the Imperial Army to attack Liangshan, so that I could capture Chao Gai's group of thieves."

    Cai Jing frowned and said, "Deploying troops and generals is a matter for the Privy Council. If you go and invite Master Tong, then say that there are important military affairs to discuss."

    ??At this time, Cai Jing and Tong Guan were called "Gong Xiang" and "Concubine Xiang" respectively by the world, which meant that the two people were extremely powerful, and also implied that the two had a close relationship, just like a male and a female.

    It turns out that Cai Jing was demoted to Dongxiao Palace and lived in Hangzhou, but he still wanted to be a thief and wanted to be an official one day.  It happened that Tong Guan was ordered to go to Hangzhou to look for ingenuity in calligraphy and painting. When Cai Jing got the news, he ignored that Tong Guan was just an eunuch and took care of him every day.  Tong Guan sent his paintings and calligraphy to the emperor to see, reminding the emperor of Cai Jing, which laid the foundation for him to serve as an official again in the future.

    After Cai Jing became an official, he naturally reciprocated the favor. As a eunuch, Tong Guan was not a civil servant, so Cai Jing recommended him to be the supervisor of the northwest army.  Tong Guan became the supervisor of the northwest army, so he actively urged the northwest armies to go to war with Xixia. Although they lost more than they won, the blame for the failure was naturally shouldered by the northwest generals, and the credit for the victory was attributed to Tong Guan.  There were people in the court who were eager to be officials, not to mention that Tong Guan was deeply trusted by the emperor. Within a few years, Tong Guan was promoted to Taiwei, headed the Privy Council, and had the power of the world's military. He was the first eunuch in history.

    Although Tong Guan was the first person in the army, Cai Jing was in charge of the three provinces and was the head of the civil servants. He did not dare to neglect Cai Jing's invitation and immediately followed the messenger to Cai Mansion.

    This Tong Guan has a burly figure. Because he has been in the army for several years, his complexion is tanned. He looks full of masculinity, but his chin only has dozens of sparse beards. This is probably because Tong Guan is in his twenties.  Castrated into the palace.  Although he doesn't have much beard, Tong Guan loves his only symbol of maleness and is reluctant to touch it, for fear of accidentally losing this last bit of male dignity.

    Cai Jing and Tong Guan were in cahoots with each other, and they did not hide it at the moment. After a brief exchange of greetings, they told Chao Gai and others about how they had robbed his birthday plan and defeated the Jeju Xiang army.

    After hearing this, Tong Guan smiled and said: "Don't worry, Grand Master, they are just grass bandits, why use the labor ban army? Cheng Wanli, the prefect of Dongping Prefecture, was my disciple. He had Dong Ping, a double-gun general under the command of the governor, who was originally from Hebei Province.  The general is brave enough to be worthy of all men. Liang Shanshuibo is right next to Dongping Mansion. I will just send a message to Dongping Mansion to send troops to arrest him. "

    Cai Jing said: "Since Dongping Mansion has such a good general, he should be able to wipe out the Liangshan thieves, so I'll trouble the Prime Minister."

    Previously, Cai Jing¡¯s birthday card was robbed in Jeju, and Dongpyeong Prefecture received a document to block the road and interrogate pedestrians.  Later, the Jeju officers and soldiers failed to capture the thieves, but instead the entire army was destroyed, and Yuncheng County was sacked by Liangshan.  These things have already spread throughout the states around Shuibo, and all states have also stepped up their vigilance to prevent Liangshan from sneaking into the city.

    Magistrate Cheng WanliI received a document from the Privy Council, asking the Dongping Mansion to send troops to capture the Liangshan bandits. There was also a private letter from Tong Guan, asking him to recover Cai Jing's birthday plan after destroying the Liangshan bandits.

    Although Cheng Wanli is a disciple of Tong Guan, his career as a civil servant depends on Cai Jing's eyes. He usually worries that he has no way to curry favor with Cai Jing.  Naturally, he was overjoyed when he received Tong Guan's letter, and hurriedly sent people to invite Dong Ping, the city's military and horse supervisor.

    On normal days, Cheng Wanli would not like to see Dong Ping, but now that he has to rely on him to board Cai Taishi's ship, Cheng Wanli has no choice but to be polite to Corporal Xian.

    It turns out that Cheng Wanli has a daughter, Cheng Wan'er, who is the apple of Cheng Wanli's eye.  This time Cheng Wan'er also followed her father to take up his post in Dongping Mansion. Dong Ping fell in love at first sight after seeing Cheng Wan'er. Cheng Wan'er also liked Dong Ping's romantic character. The two of them fell in love with each other and promised each other for life.  Unfortunately, Dong Ping asked people to propose marriage several times, but Cheng Wanli made excuses.

    Although Dong Ping's two spears are good, he has the bravery of ten thousand people, and he is also clever and knowledgeable. He knows everything, he can play bamboos and tune strings, and he is known as the romantic double spear general.  Logically speaking, he is considered to be both civil and military. At a young age, he has already become the governor of the capital. He has command of the army and horses of the palace, which is enough to be worthy of a daughter who has traveled thousands of miles.  But Cheng Wanli always thought that since he was from the Tongguan clan, he would be promoted one day, and his daughter was very colorful, so she would not have to worry about finding a wealthy family to marry into, and he would be able to help her more.  It's just that the world is not peaceful now, and Cheng Wanli needs to rely on Dong Ping to protect the country and the people, so he doesn't stop Dong Ping, hoping that he will contribute his best. After Cheng Wanli is promoted, the matter will naturally be settled.  In order to prevent accidents, Cheng Wanli even restricted Cheng Wan'er from leaving the house.

    Dong Ping has been a little irritable recently. After Cheng Waner was grounded, the two of them have not seen each other.  Dong Ping was in his twenties, and when he was full of energy, he felt depressed, so he vented his energy into martial arts and training soldiers and horses.

    When Dong Ping was training his soldiers and horses in the camp, he received a message from the prefect saying that there was a major military matter to be discussed, and he immediately rode to the government office.  Dong Ping was naturally familiar with the government offices, and he didn't need anyone to guide him. When he arrived at the lobby, he cupped his fists and said, "The last general, Dong Ping, has met the prefect."

    Cheng Wanli smiled and said: "General Dong, there is no need to be polite. Please take a seat."

    After saying that, he shouted: "Come here, serve tea."

    "No need to bother. I have summoned Dong Ping. What are your orders?"

    Although Dong Ping wanted Cheng Wanli, he still couldn't change his straightforward temper.

    "It's a waste of my skills and knowledge of how to be an official. How can I make any progress? If I marry my daughter to you, I will have wasted more than ten years of raising my daughter." Cheng Wanli thought to himself.

    "Today I received a letter from the Privy Council. The Liangshan thieves have gathered to cause chaos and looted everywhere. I have been specifically ordered to send troops to Dongping Prefecture and Dongchang Prefecture to destroy them. Therefore, I have specially invited General Dong to discuss."

    Dong Ping was also worried that he would not have the opportunity to show his skills in front of Cheng Wanli so that he could marry his daughter to him. Hearing this, he smiled and said: "They are just grass bandits. The Jeju Xiang army is incompetent and the loss of their troops is a disgrace to the country. Dong Ping will go and do it now."  With our troops and horses together, we will definitely defeat the Liangshan bandits within three to five days. Just wait for me in the city to report the success."

    Cheng Wanli didn't want to fail to get the credit and be accused of underestimating the enemy and losing troops, so he hurriedly said: "General, don't underestimate the enemy. A few days ago, Jeju sent three commanders to attack Liangshan, but in the end the whole army was destroyed. These days, the Liangshan thieves  Recruiting troops and buying horses will make you more powerful. Although the general is brave enough, he should be careful. "

    "My lord's command is that the general must use his troops with caution."

    Dong Ping thought to himself: You are a sitting gentleman, but you know how to use troops.  Liangshan is nothing more than a few grass bandits, so why bother?  As long as I defeat the Liangshan thieves, I won't be afraid that he won't agree.  From now on, he will be his father-in-law, so he can't be too stiff.

    Cheng Wanli couldn't help but just increase Liangshan's prestige, and said with a smile: "I have heard of General Dong's reputation. As long as the general uses his troops carefully, the Liangshan grass bandits will be captured easily, so I will hold a celebration banquet for the general in the city.  Wait for the general¡¯s triumphant return.¡±

    Cheng Wanli immediately ordered people to allocate food and grass, and also rewarded the three armies with wine and meat for their strong march.
