Text Chapter 27 Dong Ping inspires generals

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The sun was still struggling below the horizon, but the night could no longer completely cover his light.  The warmth of the morning light blends with the coolness of the fading night, which is the most comfortable.

    A few early birds are chasing and playing in the sky.

    Dong Ping was also very high-spirited when he saw his soldiers and horses coming out of the city gate like a long dragon.  Military generals are supposed to command troops on the battlefield and make achievements.  But since he wiped out the bandits in Dongping Prefecture, there has been no war. He can only stay in the city every day, and his dream of making achievements in a small way is getting further and further away.

    He was originally a military general at the border of Hebei Province. Unfortunately, the late emperor had already signed an alliance with the Liao State. The Song Dynasty spent money to buy peace and "rewarded" the Liao State with a large amount of property every year. In exchange, the Liao State did not invade the south.

    Although there have been no major wars on the border in recent years, small conflicts have continued.

    The Liao State did not provide food and grass to the soldiers and horses on the border, but only allowed them to cross the border to harvest grass and valleys to make themselves self-sufficient.  Therefore, Liao cavalry often came across the border and plundered, so small groups of wars continued.

    Dong Ping repeatedly killed the cavalry of the Liao Kingdom in the grass valley, so he was promoted to regiment training envoy to keep the territory safe.  Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Once, after chasing the Liao cavalry, he led his troops across the border without knowing it. In the end, he captured more than a hundred heads and returned with a great victory.

    Unexpectedly, just after Dong Ping sent out the official document reporting his victory, the Liao State sent envoys, accusing the Song State of violating the border with its troops, and demanding that the Song State hand over the people who led the troops, otherwise the entire army would go south.  Chaozhong Wenwu, who had been frightened by the Liao cavalry for a long time, suddenly panicked. If the generals in Hebei had not protected him, the Privy Council would have handed Dong Ping over to the Liao.  However, in order to quell the anger of the Liao Kingdom, Dong Ping's regimental training envoy was also dismissed, and he was ordered to return to Beijing to listen.

    Dong Ping has lived in the capital for more than a year. Even if there are vacancies in various places, Dong Ping does not have the money to take care of them, so how can it be his turn to fill the vacancies.

    It was later that Cheng Wanli, a member of the Tong Guan sect, came to Dongping Prefecture and took office. Bandits in Shandong and Hebei began to appear together. The former governor of Dongping Prefecture also died in the suppression of bandits.  Naturally, Tong Guan would not sit back and watch his subordinates lose their official positions. After counting the military commanders in the capital, he remembered the brave Dong Ping and appointed him as the governor of Dongping Prefecture.

    After Dong Ping took office, he lived up to expectations and prepared his army. He quickly wiped out the local bandits. Bandits in Shandong and Hebei no longer dared to invade Dongping Prefecture.

    The soldiers and horses of Dongping Prefecture marched all the way and set up camp twenty miles away from the water park in Liangshan Mountain that night. Dong Ping summoned his close soldiers and went to Liangshan Mountain overnight to issue a declaration of war.

    The soldiers patrolling the lake in Ruan Xiaoqi's water village received the letter of war and rushed to Ruan Xiaoqi's place.

    Not long after, the sound of drums sounded in the Juyi Hall.

    Chao Yong was already preparing to fall asleep when he heard the sound of drums in the Juyi Hall and hurried out of the house to wait for his father to come to the Juyi Hall together.

    The two came to Juyi Hall, where the lights were already lit by Ruan Xiaoqi.

    "Brother, a man named Dong Ping, a double-gun general in Dongping Prefecture, has issued a letter of challenge. They have set up camp twenty miles north of Shuibo and invite us to fight outside Shuibo tomorrow."

    Chao Gai took the letter of war, tore it open and read it.

    The Chao family has been wealthy for generations and has received good private education since childhood. Chao Yong naturally recognizes these traditional Chinese characters.  These are just some provocative words, motivating Liangshan soldiers and horses to fight ten miles north of Tabor tomorrow.

    Chao Gai suppressed his anger after reading it, tore the letter into pieces, and said: "Dong Ping, when I became famous in Jingdong, he didn't know where to feed him. He is so arrogant. Tomorrow, all the brothers will follow me down the mountain and take the  Got this guy.¡±

    While Chao Gai was reading the letter, all the leaders had also arrived.

    Wu Yong heard the words, shook his head and said: "King of heaven, calm down, don't fall into the trap of the officers and soldiers. The people in the village have not had much training time, and they have not experienced many battles. If they go into battle, they will only be afraid of heavy casualties. The village is not short of money and food now, so it is better for us to stick to the village."  If the soldiers and horses of Dongping Prefecture dare to attack, they will be like the soldiers and horses of Jeju."

    Ruan Xiaoqi jumped to his feet and said: "Military advisors should not let others' ambitions destroy their own prestige. There are thousands of people in the village now, and there are so many leaders. Why are you afraid of the officers and soldiers?"

    Liu Tang also said: "What Seventh Brother said is that Liu Tang is willing to go down the mountain and fight. Even if he sacrifices his life, he will let the officers and soldiers know that the brothers in Liangshan are not easy to tease."

    Chao Yong thought for a while and said: "I also think we should go to war. Firstly, we can't weaken our momentum in Liangshan. Secondly, the soldiers and horses in the cottage have been training for some time. If we don't experience battle formations, I'm afraid we will never become a strong army.  In the future, if the imperial court sends troops who have been fighting for a long time to attack Liangshan, I am afraid that the troops in our village will be scattered in a single confrontation. Moreover, the number of troops in Dongping Prefecture is only 2,000, which is just for training. "

    When Lin Chong heard this, he also echoed: "What Brother Yong said is that soldiers and horses that have not experienced battles are just silver-like wax spear heads, which are useless. When Tong Guan went to the northwest to take up his post, he brought three thousand Tokyo Imperial Guards with him.  The pro-army troops were all equipped with the best armor and weapons. Unexpectedly, they were defeated by the Xixia army in just one battle. Tong Guandu was almost captured alive by the Xixia army. Fortunately, the Xixia army snatched him away.Come back.  Later, Tong Guancai transferred elite soldiers from the Western Army to form the Victory Army as his personal army.  "

    Wu Yong was opposed by everyone, but he didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "What the brothers said is true, but I didn't think about it."

    "In this case, I will go down the mountain to fight tomorrow and promote my name in Liangshan. I will ask military advisors, Lin Chong, Liu Tang, Du Qian, and Song Wan to follow me down the mountain to fight. The leader of the water village will handle the entry and exit of the army, and Gongsun Xiandi will guard the village. Since it is a small  When Qi receives the letter of war, you will send someone to Dongping Mansion to retrieve him, and the decisive battle will begin tomorrow."

    As soon as Chao Gai finished speaking, Ruan Xiaoqi shouted: "My two brothers are enough to support the army. My little brother, please go out with the army."

    Ruan Xiaowu also said: "Leave the coordination to my subordinates. Our brothers also have to go to war."

    Wu Yong said with a smile: "Xiaowu and Xiaoqi, don't be anxious. Receiving the army is also a credit. If the officers and soldiers take the opportunity to attack the stronghold, you must assist Taoist Gongsun to defend the stronghold. If we all go out to fight, the stronghold will be empty."

    Ruan Xiaoqi thought for a while and said: "What the military advisor said makes sense, but next time I must be allowed to go into battle and guard the stronghold with other brothers, otherwise I, the leader of the water stronghold, will become a ferryman."

    Everyone couldn¡¯t help laughing when they saw what Ruan Xiaoqi said was so interesting.

    It was just daybreak, and the sun was hiding under the eastern horizon, shooting out streaks of golden light, illuminating the eastern sky warmly.

    Chao Yong, Chao Gai, and Wu Yong stood on the golden beach, watching Lin Chong, Liu Tang, Du Qian, and Song Wan each lead their own troops down the mountain to cross the river.

    Before leaving the berth, the decision was made. Liu Tang¡¯s men were all new Zhuang Han who had joined the team. Their formation was the most chaotic. They stood lazily on the golden beach, making noisy noises.

    Lin Chong, Du Qian, and Song Wan's teams were mainly composed of people from the original village, but it was a completely different scene.

    Lin Chong¡¯s team was neat and silent, giving people a sense of oppression.

    Du Qian and Song Wan's team was only better than Liu Tang's. It could barely be seen that they were standing in a square formation. Although the team was not crowded together, they were all whispering.

    Although Chao Yong never served as a soldier in later generations, he also formed a neat square formation during military training, and no one in the middle dared to speak.

    Looking at the chaotic team, he couldn't help but frown and said: "Dad, how can such a military formation be used on the battlefield? Although the leaders of the cottage are extremely brave, I am afraid that only Coach Lin can train the soldiers and horses.  I am afraid that the training of all the leaders will be uneven in the future, and it will not be easy to direct them in the battle formation. It is better to put them together and let Coach Lin be the general coach, and practice together for two hours, and then each leader will take them back to practice separately.  The clothes and armor should be more uniform. They are wearing anything now. They don¡¯t look like rebels doing justice for heaven, but more like a mob. "

    "It turns out that the majority of the people in the copycat village are Liangshan minions. We have just gone up the mountain and it is not easy to make major changes. Recently, the copycat has been recruiting troops. It turns out that the Liangshan minions have become a minority and it is time to vigorously rectify it. Brother Yong, a rebel, is well called,  All dynasties have recruited rebels from farmers, and most of our troops are farmers. It is appropriate for the rebels to call me Liangshan."

    Wu Yong is also a person who is familiar with the art of war. He knows that the soldiers and horses in front of him can fight against the wind and guard the stronghold. Once they encounter a strong enemy, the barely formed phalanx will collapse instantly.  He also thought about reorganizing his troops, but he felt that the time had not come yet, so he kept putting it off.

    Chao Gai nodded and said: "It is because of the word "righteousness" that all the brothers came together. From now on, Liangshan will be called a rebel army. We will discuss the matter of military training after this battle is over."

    While talking, more than a hundred fishing boats of different sizes have appeared on the water.

    After Chao Gai and others went up the mountain, Ruan Sanxiong recruited many fishermen in the nearby fishing village. Many of them brought boats to join the team. The village also built some large boats, so there were many large and small boats in the water village.

    Under the restraint of their respective leaders, Liangshan soldiers and horses finally did not grab the ship and fell into the water. After a small commotion, two thousand people finally boarded the ship and sailed away from the golden beach.
