    While Chao Yong was having a drink with Wu Song and others, he smelled a scent spreading from behind. When he turned around, he saw two turbulent waves approaching gradually.

    But it was Sun Erniang who sat down next to Chao Yong. When Chao Yong looked from below, he saw only mountains and no people.

    Chao Yong saw Zhang Qing sitting down beside him and quickly looked away from Sun Erniang's towering peaks.

    Sun Erniang sat down and had a bowl with everyone, and said to Chao Yong: "Now everyone has arrived in Qingzhou, and our hotel has also been evacuated. I wonder what else our couple can do for Daliang in the future?"

    Lu Zhishen smiled and said: "You and your wife are both good at martial arts, why don't you lead troops to fight like everyone else?"

    When Sun Erniang heard this, her eyes lit up.

    However, Zhang Qing next to him smiled and said: "Master is joking. My husband and I have ordinary martial arts skills. How can we open up and expand the territory of Daliang like Master?"

    Li Kui shook his head and said: "He is also an unhappy person."

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "Brother Zhang Qing can continue to open a hotel if he doesn't want to change his career."

    When Sun Erniang heard this, she couldn't help but wonder: "I have already established the country in Daliang, why do I still want to open a hotel?"

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "Of course I'm not asking you to go to those remote places to open hotels to drink sweat medicine, but I'm asking you to open hotels in the city."

    Lu Zhishen smiled and said, "That's good. When the Sa family travels around the world in the future, they no longer have to worry about being charmed by others."

    Wu Song said with a smile: "With Er Niang's temperament, if you don't like me, even the city will have to drug you to blind you."

    Sun Erniang couldn't help but blush when the two talked about her. She glared at them and said, "If you talk about it again, I will definitely cover you up next time."

    Zhang Qing was not joking, and asked suspiciously: "Is the prince asking us to go to the Song Dynasty to open a hotel in the city to inquire about information and act as an internal agent?"

    Chao Yong shook his head and said: "No, in our territory of Daliang, the hotels are mixed with dragons and snakes, and it is easy to collect folk information. It is easy to conquer the world. Without those conspiracies, we can unify the country with our many heroes in Liangshan. But it is difficult to defend the world.  , I want you to collect private information to understand the needs of the people. At the same time, you should also monitor local officials. If they dare to take bribes and bend the law, they will be severely punished, so as to prevent our brothers from throwing their lives and blood to conquer the country, but in the end they will be defeated by those corrupt officials.  In the hands of officials.¡±

    Hearing this, Lu Zhishen nodded and said, "What Brother Yong said is that we, Daliang, cannot repeat the mistakes of the Song Dynasty."

    Wu Song also said: "A corrupt official has no idea how many people he wants to defraud. He should monitor them closely."

    Zhang Qing was secretly frightened when he heard that they were given such a heavy responsibility. Being under the rule of others and monitoring them was not a small danger.

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "I will give you the identity of a police officer, so that you are not subject to the control of local officials, but you cannot make it public on weekdays, and you are only responsible for delivering the news, and you have no right to arrest anyone."

    Hearing this, Shi Qian smiled and said, "Then they are also spies, just like my little fleas?"

    Under Chao Yong¡¯s instruction, Shi Qian formed secret agents. Because most of the people Shi Qian selected were agile people, people in Liangshan called them fleas.

    Shi Qian was not ashamed, but felt that the person he wanted was as agile as a flea, so he accepted the title.

    Chao Yong shook his head and said: "Your spies hide deeper, but they always have traces to follow. You are not subordinate to each other. Zhang Qing and the others are more like censors, but they live in the market and have a better understanding of the sufferings of the people. At the same time,  Being closer to local officials can better serve as a supervisor.¡±

    Seeing that Chao Yong was so cautious, Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang happily accepted the job.

    That night, Chao Yong was very drunk after eating.

    The three days of the Liang Kingdom¡¯s Daqing were over. When Chao Gai was preparing to send people to capture Binzhou, news came that the Song Dynasty ordered Tong Guan to lead an army of 200,000 to attack Fang La, and Gao Qiu to lead an army of 100,000 to attack Liang.

    When Chao Gai heard that one hundred thousand soldiers and horses were coming to attack, he did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly summoned everyone to discuss countermeasures.

    Li Kui shouted: "No matter how many soldiers and horses they have, come and kill one, come two and kill a pair. I'm afraid they won't be enough to kill, and they will eat my heart out this time."

    Zhao Mingcheng shook his head and said: "The enemy is outnumbered and we are outnumbered. If we go to war, we are afraid that we will be outnumbered. It is better to prepare more rolling wood and stones, rely on the city to hold on, and then wait for opportunities to counterattack."

    When Chao Yong heard this, he shook his head and said: "The soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty are just sheep, but the soldiers and horses of my beam are tigers. No matter how many sheep there are, how can they defeat the tigers. Our beam has just been built, and we are about to win a big victory.  To promote our country¡¯s prestige.¡±

    Lin Chong heard that his enemy Gao Qiu was leading the troops, and immediately said: "What the prince said is that the Song Dynasty's imperial army has long been decayed, so why should we be afraid?"

    Lu Zhishen immediately shouted: "The Sa family is also in charge of the battle."?

    A group of military generals also took the lead in the battle. Even Left Prime Minister Wu Yong felt that Liangshan's troops and horses were not comparable to those of the Song Dynasty, and supported the battle.

    Seeing everyone saying this, Chao Gai nodded and said: "Okay, then we will give the Song Dynasty soldiers and horses a head-on blow."

    Chao Yong thought for a while and said: "Since we have decided to go to war, why not be more proactive? We first capture Tai'an Prefecture before Gao Qiu's army, and then fight Gao Qiu's army in Tai'an Prefecture to expand the strategic space."

    Zhao Mingcheng also nodded and said: "What the prince said is true. We have just founded the country and the people's hearts are not yet attached. If a decisive battle starts in Qingzhou, I am afraid that the people will flee to the Song Dynasty."

    Chao Gai naturally did not want to be a prince in an empty city, so he immediately said: "Okay, then I will personally lead the troops to attack Tai'an Prefecture, and then defeat Gao Qiu's army."

    Chao Yong heard this and said hurriedly: "Now Qingzhou is the foundation of my beam, and my father is still in charge, so that the army can feel at ease. I will leave the matter of attacking Tai'an Prefecture and Gaoqiu's troops to my sons and ministers."

    Chao Gai thought for a while and then said: "Okay, then you can take all the soldiers and horses. Qingzhou has reserve troops to defend it."

    Daliang now has 20,000 regular troops and 7,000 reserve troops.

    Wu Yong said: "We are going to attack Tai'an Prefecture. If we attack by force, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get off in a short time. By then, the soldiers will be tired. It will be difficult to defeat Gao Qiu's army again. We must outsmart him."

    Hearing this, Chao Yong nodded and said, "What good plan does the Left Prime Minister have?"

    Wu Yong said: "It will be difficult to mobilize the troops and horses of Tai'an Prefecture, so we can only mix in some internal forces in the city, and then the internal forces and external forces will be combined to break Tai'an Prefecture."

    Chao Yong frowned and said: "We, Daliang, have captured Qingzhou and Zizhou. Tai'an Prefecture must be heavily guarded. It's not easy to sneak in."

    As soon as he finished speaking, Gongsun Sheng said with a smile: "There are many Taoist temples in Tai'an Prefecture, but it is convenient for poor Taoists to sneak into the city."

    Lu Zhishen also said: "There are more temples in Tai'an Prefecture, so the Sa family can naturally go in."

    Traveler Wu Song also said: "I should have no problem."

    Chao Yong looked at these three genuine monks and said with a smile: "I forgot about the three of them, so I'll ask the three of them to enter the city first, and the army will follow. If the soldiers and horses of Tai'an Prefecture do not go out to fight, I will let Shi Qian and you  connect."

    Everyone agreed that Gongsun Sheng, Lu Zhishen and Wu Song would go to Tai'an Prefecture first.

    The three of them rushed to the gate of Tai'an Prefecture City, and saw that pedestrians were checked at the city gate. It was really strict. Fortunately, the three of them were monks, and they had proof that they had entered the city.

    When the three of them entered the city, they saw that the city was also heavily inspected and they did not dare to go to the inn to rest, so they had to stay in temples and Taoist temples.

    But it was said that the governor of Tai'an City here was surnamed Wen, a native of Tokyo, and he was originally a sycophant.  Because of his flattery, he obtained the Dharma and was thrown into Grand Master Cai's residence, where he was made the magistrate of the state.  Since taking office, he has only exercised his power, corrupted and abused the people, causing every family to suffer.

    Later, when I heard that Liangshan was a man of justice and dedicated to killing corrupt officials, he was so frightened that he restrained himself, fearing that Liangshan's troops would be attracted.  But a few days ago, I heard that Liangshan soldiers and horses suddenly captured Qingzhou and Zizhou and ceded territory to become kings, and Tai'an Prefecture was next to Zizhou.  Now Wen Zhizhou knew that even if he was honest and loyal, it would be useless. Since Liangshan had rebelled, Taian Prefecture would come to attack him sooner or later.

    Therefore, Wen Zhizhou ordered the regiment training envoys and troops in the city to be on guard day and night to prevent the Liangshan thieves from sneaking into the city and robbing the city.  Even during the upcoming Lantern Festival, Wen Zhizhou also ordered the lantern festival to be stopped to prevent Liangshan bandits from taking the opportunity to attack.

    Tai'an Prefecture Tuanlian Envoy Tie Fangliang, whose surname is Dongfang and whose name is unknown.  He was as powerful as a tiger, and because he was good at using an iron square beam, he was elusive and invincible. People called him Iron Square Liang, but their names were hidden.

    Tie Fangliang had already deployed spies at the border. As soon as Liangshan soldiers and horses entered the country, he got the news and mobilized the soldiers and horses in the city to prepare for war.

    Wen Zhizhou was originally lucky, hoping that Liangshan would just pass through Tai'an Prefecture, return to Liangshan, or attack other states, but he heard that Liangshan's army was coming to Tai'an Prefecture and hurried to the top of the city.

    Wen Zhizhou watched the black Liangshan soldiers and horses forming in the city, his legs were trembling, and he said to Tie Fangliang: "The Liangshan bandits are coming fiercely, and the lives of the people in the city depend on the general. General Wanwang will do his best to defend the city.  When Captain Gao's army arrives in the city soon, the Liangshan grass bandits will flee upon hearing the news. "

    Tie Fangliang looked at the soldiers and horses of Liangshan below the city, but he was eager to try, and said: "I think the soldiers and horses of Liangshan are probably no less than 20,000, and there are only 2,000 people in my city. If they insist on defending, it will only increase the momentum of the Liangshan bandits. The final general will not be talented.  "I would like to ride out of the city alone and kill several leaders of the Liangshan bandits to strengthen our army and also weaken the morale of the Liangshan bandits."

    Wen Zhizhou also felt that it was difficult to hold on. He did not expect that there were people who were not afraid of death. He patted Tie Fangliang on the shoulder and said: "General, be careful. If we can kill Liangshan, we will retreat."Bandits, the first victory in this battle must belong to the general.  "

    Chao Yong watched the city gate slowly open and was stunned when he rode out of the city alone. Could it be that he encountered a fierce general like Ji Anbang again.

    Tie Fangliang reached a stone's throw in front of the Liangshan formation. He stopped his horse and shouted: "Liangshan grass bandits, how dare you invade our city. General Tie Fangliang is here, who will die?"

    Suo Chao, the vanguard, was about to make a contribution, but he didn't reply and just grabbed the iron square beam.

    Tie Fangliang was even more happy when he saw that Suo Chao was also a heavy weapon, so he immediately rode up to meet him.

    When the two of them arrived, they had no moves at all, so the two weapons collided hard.

    "Keng"

    A loud noise suddenly sounded on the battlefield, and the soldiers in front of the Liangshan formation felt their eardrums hurt.  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
