Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Zhao Ji valued Cai You very much, encouraged Cai You, and gave him an imperial edict to mobilize his troops.

    When Cai You came out of the palace, he was no longer in the same embarrassment as before, and rushed to the Privy Council in high spirits.  He asked the Privy Council to issue ten documents and mobilize ten thousand elite soldiers under the command of the ten military governors to gather them in Tokyo and wait for deployment.

    These ten governors are:

    Wang Huan, the governor of Henan and Hebei provinces

    Xu Jing, the governor of Shangdang Taiyuan

    Wang Wende, the envoy of Hongnong Festival in northern Beijing

    Yingzhou Runan Jiedu Envoy Mei Zhan

    ?Zhongshan Anping Jiedushi Envoy Kaikai

    Yang Wen, the envoy of Jiangxia Lingling Festival

    Han Cunbao, the envoy of Yanmen Festival in Yunzhong

    Li Congji, the envoy of Hanyang Festival in Longxi

    Langya Pengcheng Jiedushi Xiang Yuanzhen

    Jing Zhong, the envoy of Qinghe Tianshui Festival

    These ten people were all from Green Forest, and the imperial court ordered to recruit them after being unable to suppress them. Afterwards, many of them had made contributions to the Song Dynasty, either by annihilating other bandits or by conquering Xixia. They were all elite and brave men. They could be said to be the most powerful people besides the Western Army of the Song Dynasty.  , the most powerful army.

    Cai You also learned from the Privy Council that Gao Qiu once wanted to mobilize 800,000 imperial troops to teach Tou Qiuyue and Zhou Ang, but before they even left the capital, Gao Qiu was defeated.  Therefore, Cai You transferred two people and selected 500 elite soldiers from each of the Longmeng, Huyi, Pengri, and Zhongyi armies, totaling 2,000, to guard him.

    However, after Liu Menglong's navy went north, there was still some residual ice in the river, so he missed the time for the army to gather. Later, when he heard that Gao Qiu had been defeated, he had no choice but to lead his troops back to Tokyo to plead guilty.

    When Cai You heard that there was still this navy, he exempted him from the blame and incorporated Liu Menglong's navy into the army.

    Besides, after Chao Yong publicly executed Gao Qiu in Jeju, it took him two more days to organize 40,000 troops.

    In that night attack, Chao Yong personally led his troops to break through the camp, while Guan Sheng led his troops to stop Zhang Shuye's ambush. The Song army heard that there was fighting inside and outside the camp, and they could not see clearly in the darkness. Many of the Forbidden Army were afraid  After escaping, he was intercepted by Daliang soldiers and horses. He lost his life, so he abandoned his weapons and surrendered in the camp.

    Excluding the killing and wounding of thousands of people, there were more than 30,000 prisoners. Adding the more than 20,000 prisoners captured in the previous battle, the number of prisoners alone was nearly 60,000. The food consumed every day was a large number. Fortunately, we captured  Jeju also received a lot of food and grass.

    However, after excluding the old and weak from the nearly 60,000 people, there were only 40,000 troops left.

    After Chao Yong asked Chao Gai for instructions, he asked Lu Junyi, Lin Chong, Dong Ping, Guan Sheng, Hu Yanzhuo, and Luan Tingyu to be promoted to another level, each commanding 10,000 horses.

    When Chao Yong was gathering everyone to discuss which city to attack, he heard his own soldiers coming to report that an old man wanted to see General Li outside the Yamen.

    Li Kui heard this and shouted: "Who is looking for me?"

    The soldier did not dare to call Li Ying by his name. Only then did he remember that there was more than one General Li in the hall, and hurriedly said: "I'm not looking for the general, I'm looking for General Li Ying."

    Hearing this, Li Kui glared at the soldiers and said, "I can't explain clearly. There are several generals Li in this hall. Just say Li Ying."

    Li Ying heard an old man and asked in confusion: "Who is looking for me?"

    The soldier also looked puzzled and said, "It's said to be Han Zhong, the servant of General Li's cousin's village."

    Li Ying heard that it was Han Zhong and hurriedly said: "Please invite him in quickly."

    It turns out that Li Ying had a cousin named Li Wei, who was also a wealthy man. Zhuangzi was not far from Lijiazhuang.  He is loyal and kind-hearted, but he does not have the martial arts skills of Li Ying. In the past, ordinary people did not dare to bully Li Ying because of his reputation.

    When Li Ying was forced to join the Liangshan gang, he was also afraid that Li Wei would be bullied if he stayed, so he sent someone to notify Li Wei to see if Li Wei was willing to join the gang.  But when Li Wei heard that he was asked to leave the grass, he was so frightened that he refused Li Ying, so he never went up the mountain with Li Ying.

    And this Han Zhong is an old man of the Li family. He started as a servant when his grandfather was a servant and has been here for three generations.  He has never done anything bad in his life. He is loyal, courteous and prudent, and is highly valued by Li Wei.  Because he was old, he was not restricted from doing anything. He only had to eat, get money, sit and play every day. Li Ying also met this old servant in his cousin's house.

    Not long after, I saw the soldiers bringing in an old man with white beard and hair. He was about eighty years old. He looked depressed and his clothes were stained with mud.

    The old man stumbled in. When he saw many people in the hall, he knelt down and said, "Han Zhong has met all the generals."

    Chao Yong hurriedly said: "There is no need to be polite, old man, get up quickly."

    Li Ying stepped forward to help Han Zhong up and said, "Why are you in such a mess?"

    Han Zhong raised his head and saw that it was Li Ying he was looking for, but he knelt down again and just shouted: "Sir, help me!"

    ?Li Ying helped Han Zhong up and said, "Get up. If you have any grievances, tell them in detail, and I will naturally make the decision for you."

    Han Zhong got up from the ground. Thinking of his family's injustice, he couldn't help but shed a few lines of tears. There was a feeling of resentment in his throat. He could only hear the sound of choking and could not say a word.

    Seeing this, Li Kui said impatiently: "If you have any grievances, tell me quickly. I'm crying because I'm irritated."

    Chao Yong glared at Li Kui and said, "Don't be rude to Tieniu. The old man must be so angry that he can't speak for a moment. Old man, just relax and tell your grievances, and we will naturally make the decision for you."  "

    Han Zhong was startled when Li Kui yelled, and he didn't dare to cry anymore. He wiped his tears and told the story slowly.

    It turns out that Dongping Prefecture was defeated by Liangshan, but Miao Shanggao, the new prefect of the imperial court, was Cai Jing's confidant. When he took office, he brought 3,000 elite forbidden troops to prevent Liangshan from attacking Dongping Prefecture again.

    After Miao Shanggao took office, he sent people to investigate the affairs of Liangshan. He learned that after Liangshan soldiers broke through Dongping Mansion, they destroyed Zhujiazhuang on Dulonggang, and Lijiazhuang and Hujiazhuang joined Liangshan.

    The officers and soldiers who went to Dulonggang to investigate lived in Li Wei's house. Some villains nearby informed Li Wei and Li Ying that they were cousins.

    The official then insisted that Li Wei was having an affair with the Liangshanbo thieves. He sat on the ground and made eye contact, secretly delivering the news. It was not up to Li Wei to explain, and he wanted to use it to punish him.

    Seeing that things were not going well, Li Wei quickly spent money to take care of things. After spending a lot of money, everything was fine.

    Although he was safe for a while, Li Wei became a fat sheep raised by nearby officials. They came to blackmail him from time to time, and Li Wei complained endlessly.

    However, Li Wei did not want to go to Liangshan to look for Li Ying, so he could only keep throwing money away.

    I originally thought I could spend money to eliminate the disaster, but I didn¡¯t expect the village to cause trouble again.

    Li Wei has a daughter named Shame Flower, whose natural beauty is unparalleled in the world.  Gou Chang, the deputy director of Li Weizhuang, has been coveting him for a long time, but in the past, he did not dare to act recklessly because of Li Ying's power.  But after Li Ying left, Gou Chang started to use his crooked ideas again, and slowly hooked up with the maid next to Shame Hua, and asked the maid to lure Shame Hua into the garden, intending to do something wrong.  Fortunately, he was caught by a servant in the village, and Gou Chang was so frightened that he ran away.

    Li Wei was furious when he heard that Gou Chang dared to take advantage of his daughter. He asked the banker to catch Gou Chang back before he could escape, beat him severely, and then kicked Gou Chang out.

    Unexpectedly, Gou Chang actually went to the Yamen to falsely accuse Li Wei of having an affair with Liangshan. Dongping Mansion immediately sent people to arrest Li Wei and his family.

    Only Han Zhong was old and the officials thought he was slow, so they just kicked him out.

    Han Zhong thought about it and realized that only Li Ying could save his master, so he rushed to Liangshan. On the way, he heard that Liangshan soldiers and horses publicly executed Gao Qiu in Jezhou, so he rushed to Jezhou.

    After Han Zhong said this, he couldn't help but cry: "Please help the officials."

    Li Ying, the Flying Eagle, was a strong-willed man. After listening to Han Zhong's words, his anger surged to the top of the ceiling, and he screamed like thunder: "I originally knew that Gou Chang is not a good guy, but he is an elder brother. He misused this guy."  , I was framed in the end, I just didn¡¯t know it, but I won¡¯t stop if I know it.¡±

    It turns out that Gou Chang was born in poverty and was originally a tenant of the Li family. However, Li Wei saw that he was capable and promoted him to deputy director.  However, Li Ying felt that Gou Chang's eyes were evil and he was not a kind person. He tried to dissuade Li Wei, but Li Wei did not listen to Li Ying.

    After finishing speaking, he turned to Chao Yong and said: "Li Ying is the only brother who is close to me. He also asked the prince to let me lead the troops to rescue my brother."

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "Today we are discussing which city to attack. Since your brother is in trouble, let's attack Dongping Mansion."

    Li Ying said hurriedly: "Thank you, Prince."

    Han Zhong also quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Chao Yong.

    Chao Yong hurriedly said: "General Li, help the old man up quickly and settle him down."

    Li Ying helped Han Zhong up, summoned Du Xing with a grimace, and said, "Go and settle Han Zhong down."

    After Li Ying led the army, Du Xing, the grimace boy, also became the deputy general.

    After Du Xing took Han Zhong down, Li Ying couldn't wait to say: "The dog officer of Dongping Prefecture may harm my brother's life. Li Ying please lead his troops to Dongping Prefecture first."

    Chao Yong shook his head and said: "We publicly executed Gao Qiu the day before yesterday. Dongping Mansion must have received the news, and the city must be heavily guarded. You can't capture Dongping Mansion with a thousand people. If the dog officer of Dongping Mansion knows that you are fighting for your brother."  If you go, I'm afraid your brother will be threatened or even killed."

    Li Ying was impatient and couldn't help but said anxiously: "What should we do?"

    Lu Zhishen said: "If the Sa family sneaks into the city again, the inside and outside will combine to take over the Dongping Mansion."

    Lin Chong shook his head and said: "Taian Prefecture was won in this way before, and Dongping Prefecture is nearby, so it is bound to happen."After getting the news, I'm afraid it won't be easy to get in.  "

    Li Kui shouted: "Now there are many soldiers and horses, thinking of strategies. I see the army pressing forward. One person can flood Dongping Mansion with just a spit of spit."

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "What Li Kui said is that we will mobilize 60,000 troops to attack Dongping Prefecture and declare that we will unify Jingdong. By then Dongping Prefecture will be too tired to deal with our army and will have no time to take care of Li Wei."

    Lin Chong frowned and said: "The newly reorganized 40,000 troops and horses are not yet familiar with each other and cannot operate flexibly. I am afraid that they will be defeated by the Dongping Mansion troops. Why not just bring the original 20,000 troops and add 40,000 more troops?"  The soldiers and horses stayed in Jeju for training."

    Chao Yong shook his head and said: "We have executed Gao Qiu. The Song Dynasty will definitely not give up. I am afraid that there will be another army to attack soon. If it is just training, I am afraid that they will not be able to become strong soldiers in a short time, and what they lack most is  Military discipline, not drill. I will use this battle to let them know what military discipline is." (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature for better and faster updates!)
