…

Liang Fangping and others almost set a record - the fastest dispatch of the Central Imperial Army in recent years.

More than 20,000 troops were prepared in just a few hours under the spur of Liang Fangping and others. Then, with Liang Fangping's order, the army immediately advanced towards Zhang Liangshan without any delay.

On the way, Liang Fangping had thought about it. Once he arrived at Zhang Liangshan, he would take over the command from Cai Jian and then personally command the attack on the village. He would firmly capture the great achievements of attacking Zhang Liangshan Village into his own hands, and then he could be promoted and made a fortune, one step closer to becoming the second Tong Guan!

However--

Ideals are full, but reality is skinny.

Although Liang Fangping's speed was already very fast, just as Liang Fangping personally led the front-superior army and the front-superior army to arrive in Zhangliangshan, they were facing a team of Jinwu cavalry.

The former commander of the Tian Shizhong sent someone to stop the Jinwu cavalry and asked, and then he realized that Zhang Liang's village had been broken and they were going to recruit the officials to report the victory.

After hearing this news, Master Tian felt like he heard a bolt from the blue!

After recovering, Tian Shizhong hurried to report the matter to Liang Fangping.

Liang Fangping, who was dreaming, heard from Tian Shizhong that Zhang Liang's village was broken. He was unbelievable at first, and then cursed: "I'm greedy and I've eaten all the meat, and I don't even give my soup to our family. Damn it! Damn it!"

Unexpectedly, Tian Shizhong stopped Liang Fangping and said, "Masters are careful."

Liang Fangping frowned and felt unhappy: "The great achievements are gone, can't our family scold you a few words?"

Tian Shizhong was so clever. When he saw Liang Fangping's appearance, he knew that Liang Fangping, the dead eunuch, was unhappy. He quickly explained: "The ministers are so arrogant. Although Cai Zi is a little greedy for this, he can always be negotiated."

After Tian Shizhong reminded him, Liang Fangping immediately understood what Tian Shizhong meant. He thought to himself: "Yes, if you can't fight, you can't fight. Our family can discuss it well with Cai Shen, but this great achievement is still unlucky."

Thinking through these, Liang Fangping poked Tian Shizhong's head with his index finger and said, "You little monkey is still smart!"

...

In fact, before last night, Cai still had no idea of ​​attacking Zhang Liang's mountain village.

This kind of tough battle will definitely cause great casualties without using gunpowder. Don’t look at the fact that there are only one thousand people in Zhang Liang’s village.

Cai is still not Yue Fei, and Cai, who is familiar with history, is still very clear about how tragic the Battle of Jade Bi and Zhang Xun guarding Suiyang were in the end.

Therefore, Cai still made up his mind a long time ago that he would never fight such a tough battle.

Of course, Cai still has the capital to not fight a tough battle.

As long as Cai is still willing, he will be able to create powerful granular gunpowder soon. It will be a matter of minutes to blow up the city wall with the power of that gunpowder. Even Cai can still develop more powerful explosives. This difficulty is greater in this era, and it is unlikely to mass production at the current industrial level. But it doesn't matter. Cai, who is familiar with the explosive production process, will sooner or later solve these problems.

In addition to gunpowder and explosives, Cai still has many ways, such as making gliders, hot air balloons flying into the city, etc.

In short, Cai, who has mastered more advanced technology, still has the capital to not fight a tough battle.

However, Cai is still not fighting for himself now, there is no need to work so hard, and there is no need to expose his trump card.

It should be noted that once Cai still exposes these, he might have to "hand over them to the country."

Cai is still not so great, and it is not worth it that Cai is still so selfless for them.

Taking a step back, even if Cai still showed his brains and gave these things to Dashuang, the stupidity of the emperors and the struggle between the ministers of Dashuang, these things may not be effectively utilized in the end.

So, it’s better not to let these things be released first. Let’s wait until you have the ability to protect them before letting them be released.

Let’s talk about attacking Zhang Liang’s mountain village.

First of all, whether to fight or not this Zhangliang village will no longer affect the overall situation. Cai Jianliang did not dare to leave Zhang Liang village for a second. He took a step back and said that even if they left Zhang Liang village, they would not dare to and would not be able to rescue Song Jiang's army on Dusu Mountain. In other words, Cai Jian's mission has been completed.

Furthermore, Cai Shen and the Jinwu Army had made enough contributions, and there was no need to add icing on the cake to attack Zhang Liang's mountain village.

In the future, Huang Qianshan and Liang Fangping led a large army to wipe out the Song Jiang rebel army on Duisu Mountain, and then led the army to Zhangliang Mountain. At that time, they could not only attack Zhangliang Mountain Village, but also force the Song Jiang rebel army to surrender with their power. In short, at that time, they could easily wipe out the Song Jiang rebel army in Zhangliang Mountain Village.

Therefore, Cai still had no reason to attack Zhang Liang's mountain village at the risk of huge casualties.

But the commander of the rear army, Wang Sheng, found a reason for Cai Shen to attack Zhang Liang's mountain village.

Yesterday evening, Wang Sheng brought Mu Heng, who was in charge of the custody, to Cai Gan, and said, "General, the brothers Mu Heng said that he was willing to surrender to the general, and he was willing to make meritorious contributions to help the general capture Zhang Liang's village."

Seeing that Wang Sheng was very active and had nothing to do with his left and right, Cai still looked at Mu Heng and said, "Then tell me, how can you help me capture Zhang Liang's village?"

At that time, Cai had made up his mind that as long as the method Mu Heng mentioned was a little unreliable or required a large casualty to achieve it, he would definitely refuse it.

Unexpectedly, Mu Heng said, "It shouldn't be clear to the village how the general defeated us, right?"

Cai still thought for a while and thought to himself: "Even if there are a few who escaped, I guess they can only know a rough idea. It should not be clear how they lost." Then he said: "Maybe I don't know yet."

Mu Heng said: "It's simple. The general only needs to send a battalion of troops to disguise himself as my subordinates, and I will take them back to Zhangliang's village overnight, and then cooperate with others inside and outside, and he will definitely be able to capture Zhangliang's village in one fell swoop."

Cai still thought about it: "This is a good idea, and there should be no major casualties."

Seeing that Cai was still a little moved, Wang Sheng volunteered: "I will disguise my brothers who are willing to lead the rear camp as rebels to deceive the village with the Mu Heng brothers!"

Cai still thought to himself: "Even if this matter fails, there should be no big casualties. Once it succeeds, the contribution he made on Zhangliang Mountain will not be able to be taken away even if others want to."

Thinking of this, Cai still called a group of generals and a group of staff, and everyone discussed and planned to improve the combat plan designated by Mu Heng, so that it had a greater probability of success.

That night, Wang Sheng and Mu Heng led the troops of the Hou Camp to trick Zhang Liang into the village gate.

Cai Jian, who was in charge of the rear, didn't know whether Mu Heng performed too realistically or the Song Jiang rebels who were already waiting for the village to break into death and finally got careless after seeing some reinforcements and hope of survival. In short, Wang Sheng and Mu Heng were really tricked to open the gate of Zhang Liang's village, and then the two led the rear camp and killed them in.

Niu Gao, the commander of the Central Camp who was responsible for the reception, saw that Wang Sheng led the back camp and rushed in, and immediately led the Central Camp to follow him in.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Yan Qing decisively ordered people to give up resistance and kneeled down to surrender.

Soon, Zhang Liang's village was occupied by Wang Sheng and Niu Gao.

By dawn, Houying and Zhongying had already packed up Zhang Liang's village, and then went down the mountain together to invite Cai Shen to stay in Zhang Liang's village.

Things are going so smoothly that Cai still sighs: "I really want to plant flowers but don't bloom, but I don't want to plant willows and willows and willows to form shade!"

Living in a copycat is always better than living in a tent. What’s more important is that Zhang Liang’s village holds the throat of the entire Zhang Liangshan and is a place that must be fought for by military strategists.

Therefore, Cai was not polite and directly led the army to move into Zhangliang's village, and re-elected the civilians led by Jinwu Army, Zhang Xu, and Jiang Xingzu, and completely occupied Zhangliangshan.

After doing all this, Cai Jiancai sent someone to recruit the Ministry of Education and wanted to tell the people who recruited the Ministry that he had completely solved the problem of the Song Jiang army along Zhang Liangshan, and asked them to report the merits of himself and the soldiers of the Jinwu Army to request a reward.

But what Cai still didn't expect was that five people sent to report the victory were soon back and reported to himself: "Report to the general, the recruitment officer of the Liang Dujian led a 20,000 army to reinforce us. The person is in Taohuagou. Liang Dujian ordered us to return directly. I don't know if we will return. Wang Dutou (Wang Lan, the deputy head of Yidu, who was the first to attack Zhangliang Mountain Village last night) ordered us to come back and ask for instructions. He led the others to stand by."

Cai is still very satisfied with Wang Lan and the others' reaction. You must know that not everyone has the courage to not obey Shangguan's orders.

Cai Jianxin said: "It seems that I still have effect on their education."

After sending these five people back, they called Wang Lan and the others back first, Cai still summoned a group of officers from the Jinwu Army, and then led them to greet Liang Fangping and others in person.

As soon as they met, Liang Fangping smiled and said with a slight smile: "I can't even order them because I have trained well."

When Cai Shen heard this, he knew that Liang Fangping was talking about Wang Lan and his team.

Cai still did not answer Liang Fangping's words, but smiled and said, "I don't know if the capital magistrate is coming. If you have any mistakes, please forgive me."

Liang Fangping also wanted to continue talking about Wang Lan and the others, and even wanted Cai to punish Wang Lan and the others.

But just as Liang Fangping was about to speak, Tian Shizhong coughed lightly, reminding Liang Fangping that he had something to discuss with Cai Shen, and not to miss the big thing because of small things.

After Tian Shizhong reminded him, Liang Fangping remembered that compared with his real military achievements, Wang Lan and his few unpromising soldiers were really not worth mentioning.

So, Liang Fangping immediately changed into a smile and said, "You are so kind to me. From Henan to Hebei, our family and Ziyin are old friends who have experienced many lives and deaths."

As soon as he saw Liang Fangping's attitude, Cai still knew that this greedy dead eunuch must have something to ask for him.

What are you asking for?

Cai still thought about it with his heel, and he could even think of it.

Although Cai still despised this, he was not disgusted with it and even looked forward to it.

You should know that Cai Shen also has some desires - let’s not talk about promotion and expansion of the army. On this basis, Cai Shen must also ensure that his own people are promoted and wealthy, and ensure the integrity of the Jinwu Army he finally formed.

So, Cai still immediately followed Liang Fangping's words and said: "The Dujian said it well. I and the Dujian are indeed old friends. Well... Since that's the case, I have something to ask the Dujian, but the Dujian must not refuse."

Liang Fangping said: "I just said it's okay."

Cai still said: "I am going to give Taiwei Gao a good news to the soldiers of our Jinwu Army. The official family may also see this good news. I don't know what words the official family likes, so please help me with the staff."

Although the excuse is not very good and there is no new meaning, it doesn't matter. As long as Liang Fangping can understand it.

Of course Liang Fangping could understand that last time Cai still used this excuse to give him a great achievement that would benefit him for the rest of his life.

Liang Fangping couldn't help but feel excited in his heart, and immediately took a lot of attention and said: "This is what our family is good at. We have served the government in the palace for six years and have a clear preference for the government. With our family as your adviser, we will make the government happy as soon as we see your good news!"

Cai still smiled and said, "So, let's discuss it now?"

Liang Fangping couldn't refuse? He smiled and said, "I'm asking."

Cai still smiled and said, "Prince Supervisor."

Then, the two walked side by side towards Zhang Liang's village...
