    However, he said that the prefect of Dongchang Prefecture received a letter from Gao Lian asking for help that night, and he did not dare to neglect it and hurriedly recruited the city's regiment training envoys to discuss it.

    This training envoy of the Dongchang Prefecture, whose surname is Zhang and whose given name is Qing, is originally from Zhangde Prefecture and was born in Huqi.  He is good at flying rocks and hitting people with hundreds of hits. People call him "the arrow without feathers".

    There are two lieutenants under his command: one is called "Hua Xiang Hu" Gong Wang, who has tiger spots tattooed all over his body, has a tiger head swallowed on his neck, and can fly a gun immediately;  There are scars on the neck, which will cause flying crosses immediately.

    When Zhang Qing heard the magistrate¡¯s call, he hurried to the government office on flying horse.

    The prefect then handed Gao Lian's letter to Zhang Qing and said: "The bandits in Liangshan are really powerful. Gaotang Prefecture is now in danger. Fortunately, when they passed by my Dongchang Prefecture the day before yesterday, they did not send troops to intercept them. Otherwise, I, Dongchang Prefecture, would be afraid  It was also a loss of troops. There were many bandits in Liangshan, and it was not possible for one state or one government to resist. However, this Gao Lian was the cousin of Taiwei Gao Qiu. If he did not save him, I was afraid that Gao Qiu would seek revenge in the future.  When I rescue him, I am afraid that the Liangshan bandits will attack the city and cause trouble. I am in a dilemma. I wonder if General Zhang can teach me something?"

    Zhang Qing said with a smile: "Since there is an official document coming from Gaotang Prefecture, we naturally want to save it. However, we must beware of the Liangshan bandits attacking from the east to the west and sending tigers away from the mountains to attack our Dongchang Mansion. The general is willing to lead a thousand troops to rescue Gaotang.  Prefecture, leave a thousand soldiers and horses to guard the city. Your Excellency will send some strong men to guard the city. We are not afraid of a sneak attack by the Liangshan bandits."

    In fact, the prefect meant exactly this, but he was afraid that Zhang Qing would not dare to lead a small number of troops to rescue Gaotang Prefecture after hearing that Liangshan's troops were strong.  As long as Zhang Qing goes, it will be easy. Even if Zhang Qing's entire army is wiped out, he will have no fault as long as he keeps the city, and he has an explanation for Gao Qiu.

    "Well, General Zhang is indeed full of courage. General Zhang is brave and good at fighting. He will definitely defeat the Liangshan bandits in one fell swoop. I am here to wish General Zhang every success. Without further ado, when General Zhang needs how much food he needs, just get it tomorrow.  We sent troops to rescue Gaotang Prefecture early in the morning.¡±

    "The general will obey his orders"

    How could Zhang Qing not know what the prefect was thinking, but he was also an expert and bold man. When he detected the soldiers and horses from Liangshan entering the country, he wanted to lead the troops to fight, but was stopped by the prefect.  Now that Gaotangzhou is asking for help, it just gives him the opportunity to send troops, so he naturally agrees.

    The two of them hit it off as one wanted to make meritorious deeds and the other was afraid of offending Gao Qiu.

    The prefect quickly allocated all the money and food Zhang Qing needed.

    Early the next morning, Zhang Qing ordered a thousand soldiers and horses to leave the city and head towards Gaotang Prefecture.

    "Besides, after Chao Gai and others withdrew their troops and returned to the camp, all the leaders came to the big tent to discuss ways to break the city.

    Seeing that everyone was silent and silent, Li Kui couldn't help shouting: "In my opinion, Liangshan are all heroes who are not afraid of death. There is no need to think of any strategies. I, Tieniu, will be the first to go."

    Liu Tang also said: "What Brother Tieniu said is that Liu Tang is also willing to be the first one."

    Wu Yong shook his head and said: "Even if we want to attack by force, it will take several days to build the siege equipment before we can attack the city. It's a pity that things started in a hurry and we didn't have time to send people to sneak into the city. Otherwise, if we cooperate inside and outside, it will be much easier to break the city."  Now that the four gates of Gaotangzhou are closed, it is difficult to sneak into the city. "

    "Report"

    While everyone was talking, they heard someone coming to report from outside.

    Chao Gai asked people to come in, but saw two detective horses guarding one person. He couldn't help but ask: "Who is he?"

    "Reporting to the King of Heaven, a few horses came out of Gaotangzhou just now. We captured one person, and the others ran away. We found a letter on him."

    When Chao Gai took the letter and read it, it was a letter asking for help from Qizhou. After reading it, he handed it to Wu Yong.

    Wu Yong looked at it, shook his feather fan, and said, "We have a plan."

    Chao Gai heard that Wu Yong had a plan and said excitedly: "What's the plan for the military advisor?"

    Wu Yong pointed to the letter and said, "I found it here. Didn't Gao Lian go around asking for help? We sent out scouts to see which states sent troops to rescue him. As long as we defeated all the troops, we could attack them.  Use the banner to open the gate of Gaotangzhou."

    Hearing this, Hu Yanzhuo added: "In order to prevent Gaotang Prefecture from getting the news, additional troops and horses can be sent to block the four gates and intercept the news from Gaotang Prefecture."

    Chao Gai nodded and said: "It's best to avoid a strong attack, so I asked Huang Xin, Ou Peng, Ma Lin, and Shi Yong to each lead 500 people to blockade the four gates."

    Lin Chong added: "You might as well send your deputy to cut down trees outside the city, build ladders, and make it look like you are going to attack Gaotang Prefecture to confuse Gao Lian. If you can't open the city gate, you can use it to attack Gaotang Province."  state."

    When Chao Gai heard this, he ordered Mu Chun to lead his deputy army to build siege equipment.

    The strategy was decided, and Chao Gai ordered everyone to act according to the plan.

    Gao Lian in the city had just bandaged his neck when he heard Liangshan soldiers and horses blocking the four gates. He was afraid that it was the prelude of Liangshan soldiers and horses attacking the city, so he hurriedly ran to the city.Deploy defense.

    After waiting anxiously for half a day, there was no further movement from the Liangshan soldiers and horses.

    Seeing that it was getting dark, Gao Lian did not dare to be careless. He asked the officers in the city to be on guard, and then he returned to the Yamen to rest.

    That night, Gao Lian was tossing and turning, fearing that Liangshan soldiers and horses would attack the city at night, so he kept listening to the noise outside.

    Seeing that the sky was getting brighter, Gao Lian couldn't bear it any longer and fell asleep.

    After sleeping for less than an hour, he got up and rushed to the city to check what was going on in Liangshan.

    The commander who defended the city also stayed up all night, looking at Gao Lian on the top of the city, and hurried over to greet him.

    "How is it? Is there any movement among Liangshan soldiers and horses?"

    The commander saw that Gao Lian also looked tired, and his mind was a little more balanced, and he said: "Last night was uneventful, but just now Liangshan soldiers and horses started to cut down the trees along the official road. It seems that they are going to attack by force."

    Gao Lian hurriedly walked to the top of the city and looked out, only to see that the official road, which was originally shaded by trees along the road, had been cut down for more than a mile. Liangshan soldiers and horses could vaguely be seen building ladders.

    Gao Lian hurriedly ordered: "It seems that Liangshan soldiers and horses are going to attack the city today. You and your people can collect more rolling logs and stones and bring them to the city, and let all the strong men in the city come to guard the city."

    Hearing this, the commander couldn't help but said: "The soldiers in the city have been guarding all night. I'm afraid they won't be willing to do it when we ask them to work again."

    When Gao Lian heard this, he couldn't help but said angrily: "Military orders are like mountains. Anyone who disobeys them will be killed."

    The commander saw that the sergeants next to him were all looking aggrieved, and hurriedly said: "Sir, please calm down. If Liangshan troops come to attack, we will still have to rely on the sergeants to defend the city. It is better to let the strong men in the city do the work, and the sergeants rest."  After half a day, go to the city to guard."

    Gao Lian also knew that the main force was still sergeants, so he nodded and said: "It takes a thousand days to raise an army, but it only takes a short time to use it. How many soldiers and horses in this world can receive as much pay as you do? I usually treat you well, and now I am using your  As long as everyone works hard to defend the city for two days, reinforcements will come to rescue you. You will go to the magistrate's office later to receive five thousand coins. Each sergeant will be given five coins. If you guard the city for one day, you will be rewarded with five coins.  "

    When the soldiers in the city heard the high reward, they couldn't help but cheer, and their morale also rose.  (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to become a registered member of Piaotian Literature to recommend this work. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
