    Seventy percent of the officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty were archers. If Lu Junyi and the other four had not entangled Tie Fangliang and the others earlier, I am afraid that the officers and soldiers would have greeted them with bows and arrows.

    At this time, Lu Junyi and his four men were forced into the entrance by the archers at the top of the city, but they gave the officers and soldiers below the city a chance to use their bows and arrows.

    Just when the four people were about to be killed by the arrows, iron arrows suddenly roared from outside the city, passed through the gaps around the four people, and shot down the officers and soldiers on the opposite side who were preparing to shoot arrows.

    Almost in the blink of an eye, the officers and soldiers on the opposite side who were about to release arrows fell to the ground.

    When the other officers and soldiers saw this, they immediately dispersed in fright.

    When Wen Zhizhou sent soldiers and horses from the city down again, Liangshan soldiers and horses had already entered the city.

    Liangshan easily won Tai'an Prefecture, with Lu Junyi, Lu Zhishen, Wu Song and Gongsun Sheng taking the lead.

    Chao Yong immediately mobilized his troops in Tai'an Prefecture to prepare to meet Gao Qiu's army.

    At this time, Gao Qiu had just gathered an army of 100,000 people. Hearing that Liangshan troops had captured Tai'an Prefecture again, he did not dare to delay any longer. He paid his respects to the emperor and sent out his army.

    Within a few days, we arrived at the border of Jeju.

    Zhang Shuye, the magistrate of Jezhou, did not dare to neglect and hurried out of the city to greet him personally. Gao Qiu ordered the army to camp outside the city.

    ?? Zhang Shuye was the person who surrendered Song Jiang in history, and he was also a very legendary figure.

    At the beginning of his official career, Zhang Shuye was ordered to go to the northwest border to serve as the official in Lanzhou and join the army.  At that time, Qiang people from abroad often entered the country to plunder.  After Zhang Shuye took office, he conducted various inspections to understand the situation and traveled around to survey the terrain. Finally, he selected Tiandu, which was the strategic location, to establish Xi'an Prefecture and set up defenses to guard the northwest border.  After the establishment of Xi'an Prefecture, it effectively curbed the invasion of the Qiang people and alleviated the imperial court's worries about border instability. It also relieved the soldiers from the fatigue of being trapped near the river for months without being able to disarm.

    ??After that, he was promoted due to his meritorious service. Later, he served as magistrate of three places one after another, and also had considerable political achievements in the local areas. He was gradually promoted to Yuan Wai Lang of the Treasury Department, Shaoyin Shao Yin of Kaifeng, and then Yuan Wai Lang of the Yousi Division.  However, it was Cai Jing who wielded power in the DPRK and formed cliques for personal gain.  Zhang Shuye had just established himself in the world, but his wife was not attached to him, and he was dissatisfied with Cai Jing.  It happened that Zhang Shuye's cousin wrote a letter to impeach Cai Jing, and Cai Jing became even more angry at Zhang Shuye.  Zhang Shuye was immediately reprimanded and sent out of Beijing to the northwest to supervise the pastures.

    After Cai Jing dismissed the prime minister for the second time, Zhang Shuye was recalled by the court again. He successively served as secretary, junior supervisor, and Zhongshusheren, and was given medium-level positions, and was promoted to minister of the Ministry of Rites.  However, the good times did not last long. Within a few years, Cai Jing appeared for the third time, once again suppressed Zhang Shuye and was sent out to serve as the magistrate of Haizhou.

    When Cai Jing was dismissed as prime minister for the third time, he transferred Zhang Shuye from Haizhou to Jeju and became the magistrate of Jeju, hoping to use the power of Liangshan to eliminate political enemies.

    "But after Zhang Shuye took office, he learned a lot about the situation in Liangshan. After learning about the situation in Liangshan, he just stood firm in the city and did not provoke Liangshan. In addition, he was an upright official, so he and Liangshan were at peace with each other.

    Gao Qiu only brought a few personal soldiers into the city and dismounted in front of the Yamen.

    "See you, Lord Taiwei."

    "See you, Lord Taiwei."

    The officials in the state had already greeted him at the door. When they saw Gao Qiu, who was wearing a purple official robe, they hurriedly paid homage to him.

    Gao Qiu just nodded slightly and walked inside.

    A group of officials quickly followed behind.

    Zhang Shuye said hurriedly: "The official has prepared a banquet for you in the lobby. Please come here."

    Gao Qiu said: "Let's talk about official business first. The thieves in the waterholes in Liangshan robbed the state capital, killed officials and people, and committed more than one evil.

    , they are often suppressed and arrested, and the people are excluded, causing their appearance to grow.  I now command an army of 100,000 men and 100 generals. I will clear out the stronghold and capture the thieves in order to bring peace to the people.  You are on the front line in Jeju. Have you prepared all the food and grass I asked you to prepare?  "

    Zhang Shuye said hurriedly: "Don't worry, Sir, the food and grass needed by the army are all ready."

    Gao Qiu nodded and said: "That's good. For this expedition, Jeju is the place where food, grass and baggage are stored. You must do your duty to ensure the needs of the army."

    Zhang Shuye said hurriedly: "I would like to obey your teachings."

    Zhang Shuye thought for a while and then said: "Your Majesty, Taiwei, although the soldiers and horses of Liangshan are wild bandits in the mountains and forests, there are many wise and courageous people among them. Taiwei, please do not use your anger to excite yourself. If you lead the army to drive, you must use it."  Only with good planning can you achieve success.¡±

    Gao Qiu, who had led one hundred thousand troops this time, was very proud of his ambition. When he heard what Zhang Shuye said, he couldn't help but became furious and cursed: "A coward like you is afraid of the sword and avoids it.

    Being greedy for life and afraid of death, he missed important national affairs and developed the power of a thief.  I have led an army of 100,000 people here. What should I fear?  "

    Zhang Shuye saw that Gao Qiu couldn't listen and dared to speak any more, so he had to take Gao Qiu and others to eat and drink.

    highAfter having some wine and food, Qiu patrolled the city and then left the city.

    The next day, he led the army to Tai'an Prefecture.

    Although Gao Qiu looked arrogant, he was reminded by Zhang Shuye and remembered that there were Lin Chong, Hu Yanzhuo, Guan Sheng and other powerful generals in Liangshan, so he did not dare to be careless.

    The troops were carefully mobilized. Duan Pengju, the military commander of Suizhou, was the main vanguard, Chen Zhu, the commander of Zhengzhou, was the deputy vanguard, Wu Bingyi, the commander of Chenzhou, was the deputy commander, Li Ming, the commander of Xuzhou, was the deputy commander, and Han Tianlin, the commander of Tangzhou,  Wang Yi, the governor of Dengzhou, was the left sentry, Ma Wanli, the governor of Yaozhou, and Zhou Xin, the governor of Songzhou, were the right sentry. The two generals of Longhu and Fengmei, Bi Sheng, were the wings of the Chinese army, and Gao Qiu was the marshal, leading the army, wearing all the armor.  , personally supervise.

    The war drums are beating three times, and all the armies are in action.

    After traveling no more than twenty miles, we entered the boundary of Tai'an Prefecture. Wherever the dust rose, we could see enemy sentries approaching.

    Where the luan bells are ringing, there are about thirty sentry horses, all wearing green turbans and green war jackets. The horses are all tied with red tassels. Dozens of copper bells are hung on each side, and a pheasant tail is inserted in the back.

    , are all long spears with silver slender poles, light bows and short arrows.

    The general who was about to come had the flag written clearly: "The leader of the patrols has no arrows and Zhang Qing." There was Gong Wang on the left and Ding Desun on the right. They went straight to the front of Gao Qiu's army, not far from each other, only a hundred steps apart.  , reined in the horse and returned.

    The two vanguard generals of the former army did not receive military orders and did not dare to move. They reported to the central army. The commander-in-chief Gao Qiu personally came to the front of the army. After watching, Zhang Qing sent another sentry to the front.

    Gao Qiu saw that Zhang Qing was so rampant, so he wanted to send people to chase him.

    When Jia Juxin, the little Zhang Liang next to him, remembered it, he looked at the general information of Liangshan and said: "The brocade bag behind this man's saddle is full of stones. He can't throw it away, and he can't fight with the generals. He only retreats when the army approaches."

    Hearing this, Gao Qiu also ordered the army to continue advancing and not to fight.

    Zhang Qing sent out sentries three times in a row, but no generals sent by Gao Qiu came to fight. He was only crushed by a large army, and then returned angrily.

    Gao Qiu's army had not marched five miles. He could only hear the sound of gongs in the mountains in front and behind. A thousand regiments of soldiers had already turned out. The leader of the four infantry was the black whirlwind Li Kui. He had no face and eight arms.  That scolded Xiang Chong, the flying great sage Li Gun, and came straight towards him.

    The thousand regiments of soldiers were spread out on the hillside, and the regiments on both sides were stationed together.

    Seeing that there were only a thousand soldiers and horses, Gao Qiu immediately ordered the troops and horses of the front army to charge forward.

    Li Kui and Jiao Ting saw that Gao Qiu's army was approaching fiercely, so they separated the infantry into two groups. They both held their barbaric cards upside down and walked around the foot of the mountain.

    Gao Qiu's army drove out of the mountain mouth and saw only a plain and wilderness.

    When Jia Juxin saw it, he hurriedly said: "Liangshan has formed a horse army. This wilderness is suitable for cavalry to charge into battle. The Taiwei can order the front army to stop chasing, take a stand, and then advance to Tai'an Prefecture."

    Gao Qiu thought of Hu Yanzhuo, who had been captured by Liangshan earlier. He looked around at the plains. If the armored horses were charging, he was afraid that the front army would collapse. He quickly ordered the front army to stop the pursuit and form a formation on the spot.

    Gao Qiu's army formed a formation, and Li Kui and others had already escaped.

    Gao Qiu's army then rolled forward. After a few miles, they saw that the Liangshan soldiers and horses in front had also set up their formation.

    Due south, this group of men and horses are all wearing flaming red flags, red armor and red robes, and red horses with red tassels. In front of them is a red flag to lead the army, with a gold pin on the top and six stars in the South Dipper, and an embroidered red bird on the bottom. The flag is fluttering everywhere.  red flag
