Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The next day, the Liangshan army returned to the mountain from Dongchang Prefecture. There were no pursuers, and all the money and food from Dongchang Prefecture had been carried away.

    But it was said that after Tokyo Gao Qiu received Gao Lian¡¯s letter asking for help, he quickly ordered all the soldiers and horses from the various prefectures in Hebei to rescue Gaotang Prefecture. He originally thought he could easily defeat the Liangshan bandits.

    Unexpectedly, a few days later, news came that the Liangshan bandits broke through Gaotang Prefecture, defeated the rescue troops of Dongchang Prefecture, Lingzhou, and Daming Prefecture, and publicly executed Gao Lian, his uncle and brother, in Dongchang Prefecture.

    When Gao Qiu heard the news, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

    "There is only one Gao Lian who can be on the stage in his Gao family. The other uncles and brothers are either market scoundrels or honest ordinary people. The mud cannot hold up the wall. Even if he has connections, the others will not be able to hold any official positions.

    And now that the alliance with Jin to destroy Liao has become a foregone conclusion, Gao Lian is a pawn in his fight for credit. As long as he comes back from conquering Liao, Gao Lian will be promoted to the court, and then the Gao family will be able to be more powerful.  Going up a level, with Gao Lian's help, his position will be more stable.

    But now all the plans have been aborted, and the weapons he secretly allocated to Gao Lian have also become cheaper for the Liangshan bandits.

    Thinking of his hatred, Gao Qiu immediately asked people to prepare horses and come to Liang Shicheng's house.

    Liang Shicheng won the trust of the emperor. When the emperor was fatuous and obsessed with calligraphy, painting and other miscellaneous arts, he sometimes did not bother to review memorials, so he asked Liang Shicheng to write for him.

    After arriving, Liang Shicheng simply found someone to forge the imperial edict in imitation of the emperor's handwriting. As his power grew, everyone in the court knew that he was the "hidden prime minister."

    After Cai Jing became an official, Liang Shicheng was no longer able to compete with him.

    Although Liang Shicheng was an eunuch, he was favored by the emperor. Therefore, the emperor gave him a house outside the palace and allowed him to live outside the palace on weekdays.

    When Gao Qiu arrived, Liang Shicheng told him one by one about the Liangshan bandits who sacked Gaotang Prefecture and Dongchang Mansion and killed his brother Gao Lian, and then asked Liang Shicheng to send troops to avenge him.

    Hearing this, Liang Shicheng couldn't help but frowned and said: "Last year, this group of thieves robbed Cai Jing's birth plan and Dongping Mansion. Cai Jing also specially invited us to discuss the annihilation of Liangshan. I remember that they transferred the younger generations of the Huyan family, right? They didn't annihilate them anyway.  Liangshan bandits?¡±

    Liang Shicheng claimed to be Su Shi's posthumous son, and he seemed to have inherited some of Su Shi's interests. Apart from fighting in the court, he was obsessed with calligraphy, painting, and poetry, but was indifferent to military affairs.

    Gao Qiu shook his head and said: "Cai Jing is not familiar with military affairs, but he wants to interfere in military affairs. Last winter, the weather turned cold. Hu Yanzhuo asked Tokyo to allocate some clothes to the soldiers to keep out the cold. However, Cai Jing stopped him, saying that he wanted to use single clothes to whip them.  Hu Yanzhuo's army broke through Liangshan as soon as possible. I heard some rumors that many soldiers in Hu Yanzhuo's camp were infected with wind and cold. They plundered all the Jeju ginger and spirits to keep the soldiers away from the cold. I guess it was because a large number of soldiers were infected with wind and cold.  He lost his fighting power and was defeated by the Liangshan bandits."

    In fact, Gao Qiu also knew at this time that the soldiers and horses of Liangshan were probably very brave, otherwise he would not have broken Gaotang Prefecture and defeated the pursuers of three prefectures one after another.  But now he wants Liang Shicheng to help him mobilize troops to attack Liangshan. Naturally, he cannot say that Liangshan is too powerful.

    Liang Shicheng naturally didn't know that Gao Qiu was playing tricks on him and said with a smile: "So that's it. This group of thieves is also rampant. They have robbed the state capital several times. Now they have killed the Taiwei brothers. They are not far from being destroyed. The Taiwei will be destroyed tomorrow."  I will tell you, Your Majesty, to dispatch a troop of troops to exterminate the bandits in Liangshan."

    Hearing this, Gao Qiu hurriedly said: "There are still many people in the court who oppose the alliance with the Jin Dynasty to destroy the Liao Dynasty. If this matter is brought to the court, I am afraid they will take the opportunity to cause trouble again."

    Liang Shicheng relied on the alliance to destroy Liao Dynasty to win over Tong Guan, and then overthrew Cai Jing. However, he did not want this to happen unexpectedly, and let Cai Jing rise again. He nodded and said: "The lieutenant is right. In this way, I will let people  Go and invite Prime Minister Tong and the other officers of the Second Yamen to come. There is no need to disturb the Holy Lord for such a trivial matter."

    Gao Qiu had this plan in mind, but Tong Guan was his immediate boss, but he couldn't move him, so he borrowed Liang Shicheng's official authority.

    Not long after, Tong Guan led the Ma Bujun Taiwei and some subordinate officers to Liang Shicheng's house.

    After everyone had seen the ceremony, Liang Shicheng asked Tong Guan and the other two lieutenants to sit down, and asked Gao Qiu to explain everything one by one, and then said: "The Liangshan bandits have repeatedly robbed the state capital, which is really a serious problem for the imperial court. Now we can use General He Liang."  , destroy this bandit?"

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????]

    Seeing that no one answered, Liang Shicheng couldn't help but darken his face, and said sharply: "Is it possible that the high-ranking officials in the imperial court support you with generous salaries, and when they ask you to go into battle to kill thieves, no one dares to go?"

    ??Everyone now knows that Hu Yanzhuo, Qin Ming and others have all defected to Liangshan. Think about these fierce generals gathered in Liangshan, and they go to conquer, it is impossible to call them too manyThe soldiers and horses all looked fearful and did not dare to respond.

    "Snapped"

    Liang Shicheng slapped the table hard and scolded: "You are so greedy for life and afraid of death. How can you expect you to unite with the Jin Dynasty to destroy the Liao Dynasty?"

    Tong Guan was not angry. It was not his turn as the prime minister to take action to exterminate the small grass bandits. He had already known the details of these Forbidden Army officers. However, he was preparing to mobilize the Western Army when he conquered Liao. At this time, he was happy to watch the Forbidden Army have fun.

    Infantry Lieutenant Duan Chang looked a little worried. He looked around at his subordinates, hoping that someone would come out to win glory for him.

    Finally, someone stood up, and Duan Chang looked at him, but it was Ma Xuanzan from Chou County.

    This person has a face like the bottom of a pot, nostrils pointing upward, curly hair and a red beard. He is more than eight feet tall. He wields a steel sword and has outstanding martial arts skills.

    A few years ago, envoys from the Liao Kingdom came to Beijing to show off their military power. There was a general who was good at bows and arrows, but for a while there was no general in the court who could defeat him.  Later, Xuanzan stepped forward and defeated these generals with a flurry of arrows, which was considered a win for the country.

    King Shao loved his martial arts skills and recruited him as his son-in-law. Unexpectedly, the princess thought Xuan Zan was ugly and died out of hatred.  King Shao felt a little resentful towards Xuan Zan after this incident. Naturally, he lacked support and randomly arranged a yamen defense and protection envoy for him, and then drove him out of the palace.

    Xuan Zan hesitated again and again, thinking that this might be a good opportunity to make a contribution, so he couldn't help but come out and said: "The young general had an acquaintance in the village. He was a direct descendant of the righteous and brave King Wu'an in the late Han Dynasty. His surname was Guan Mingsheng. Born.  He looks like his ancestors and wields a Qinglong Yanyue Sword, known as the Great Sword Guan Sheng. When I saw him doing an inspection in Pudong, he was a subordinate.  When he comes, he will be able to clear out the water stronghold and wipe out the grass bandits."

    Liang Shicheng felt that he came from a famous family, and he also had a good impression of this general. He said happily: "When there is such a good general, he will definitely be able to wipe out the grass bandits, so you can invite Guan Sheng to come." (To be continued.
