() In fact, these Liangshan heroes who started their careers by force may think that Song Qing's actions are unnecessary, but Song Qing is very clear about the effect of doing so. What he can win by force is only the city. To win the hearts of the people, he needs wisdom and some skills.

special means.

A few days later, Lin Chong escorted Cao Zheng and others, who had come back after a long journey, to the outside of Jinan City.

When he heard that they had returned, Song Qing was overjoyed and immediately went to the military camp to meet these meritorious officials in person. At the same time, he also wanted to meet the legendary number one general under Yue Fei, Gao Chong.

At this time, Gao Jin had already changed Gao Chong into a clean white robe, and he also found the white horse that he fell in love with at first sight. The white horse in white clothes, coupled with his handsome face, made it even more heroic.

Song Qing fell in love with this young man at first sight, so he simply pulled him to sit next to him and asked him questions. His admiration was beyond words. Of course, he mostly said thank you to Gao Chong for saving Gao Jin.

Song Qing's attitude moved the young man Gao Chong to the point where he almost shed tears. He was a general manager in charge of hundreds of thousands of people! He actually had no airs about him. It seemed that his brother was right, Liang Shan was at the right place.

At that moment, Song Qing held a banquet to welcome Cao Zheng, Gao Jin, Shi Qian, Gao Chong and others.

The great success of this trip was of course inseparable from Song Qing's strategic planning, but more importantly, it was the result of the concerted efforts of the Liangshan heroes.

As for Tian Xingfang, Song Qing ordered his head to be cut off, and then given to Zhao Huan after being installed.

The traitor has been killed for you, and I also got the horse. I advise you to be more honest and let everyone live in peace, otherwise you will not get any good results.

Song Qing believed that Zhao Huan could understand his thoughts.

In the next few days, Song Qing began to form Liangshan's first all-cavalry team.

Lin Chong was once the instructor of the 800,000 Imperial Guards in Tokyo, but training cavalry was obviously not his strong point.

Song Qing thought about it again and again, and finally transferred the veterans Hu Yanzhuo and Golden Spear Xu Ning who were stationed in Weizhou with a transfer order.

Hu Yanzhuo is famous for his chain horse, and Xu Ning is the one who broke his chain horse, so putting these two people together and learning from each other's strengths, I believe they will be able to train a powerful cavalry.

Cavalry is divided into heavy cavalry and light cavalry. Due to current conditions, light cavalry can only be developed first. When horses are sufficient in the future, heavy cavalry will be developed.

The batch of Xixia armors was not suitable for equipping the army due to its limited quantity. Therefore, each general in the Song and Qing Dynasties gave one set as a gift, and the rest were temporarily kept to reward meritorious soldiers.

Originally, Song Qing's idea was to take Gao Chong with him, but this boy wanted to stay in the cavalry.

In view of Gao Chong's amazing strength on horseback, Song Qing finally agreed that he stay in Jinan Mansion and join the cavalry training.

After everything was arranged, Song Qing set off for Dengzhou.

At this time, on an official road from Muzhou to Lin'an, a team of more than 5,000 people was walking slowly with several wooden cage prison cars.

What was contained in the wooden cage was none other than Fang La, the powerful rebel rebel in Jiangnan, and several of his generals were in the prison cars behind.

The person responsible for escorting Fang La was Han Shizhong, who captured Fang La and became famous in the first battle.

Han Shizhong is about forty years old, with piercing eyes, angular face, a little thin, and a black beard under his chin. He does not have the ferocity of a military commander. At first glance, he looks a bit like a teacher, but he is just this teacher, regardless of the handsome boy.

Following Guan Guan's orders, he spotted the opportunity and sent troops privately, and finally captured Fang La in one fell swoop.

Thinking about it, he found it a bit unbelievable that Fang La had made such a big fuss, and it was said that he had hundreds of thousands of troops under his command, but he did not expect to be so vulnerable. He defeated Fang La's central army in an ambush and finally captured him.

But no matter what, the thief chief has been caught. Even if Marshal Tong is unhappy, he can't punish himself blatantly?

Han Shizhong seemed not to care as he escorted Fang La, but in fact he was very nervous. He knew that Fang La's men were actually scattered, not completely eliminated. There was no telling when they would gather together again. And to rescue Fang La, they would definitely

It would be the first thing they had to do. So he had to be more vigilant.

Fortunately, it is surrounded by areas controlled by the government and the army, so it is impossible for large groups of rebels to appear.

As they were marching, they suddenly saw several fast horses galloping towards them in front of them. When they got closer, they saw clearly that they were the heralds of the Chinese army.

The Chinese army reined in their horses and stopped, showed their tokens, and shouted: "The commander-in-chief has an order. General Han Shizhong has done a great job in capturing Fang La. Han Shizhong is specially ordered to escort Fang La to Beijing to receive the reward. There must be no mistake."

Escorting Fang La to Beijing to be rewarded? This was a great honor, and many officers looked at Han Shizhong with envy.

Han Shizhong was also surprised. Everyone said that Marshal Tong Guan was narrow-minded. From this point of view, hearsay cannot be believed.

He cupped his fists and said: "General, please tell the commander-in-chief that Shizhong will live up to the commander-in-chief's trust and will deliver the thief Fang safely to the capital."

The Chinese army suddenly smiled and said: "General Han, don't worry, I haven't finished what I'm saying yet!"

After a pause, he continued: "Although the bandit leader has been captured, there are still a lot of bandits scattered around, so there must be heavy troops stationed here. In other words, General Han cannot bring too many people when he goes to the capital to escort Fang La.

.Considering that it might be convenient

The remnants of La were trying to rescue him, so the commander-in-chief specifically allowed General Han to take a thousand troops to escort the thieves to the capital. However, General Han did not need to worry. This journey would be our territory of the Song Dynasty, and there would be no more rebels.

General Han, take a rest and hit the road as soon as possible!"

Set off on the road with only a thousand men?

Han Shizhong couldn't help but frown. With a rebel as heavy as Fang La, only a thousand men and horses were sent to escort him. Isn't it too childish?

However, Han Shizhong also knew that Marshal Tong was right. Fang La's legacy was still there and could reappear at any time. So he nodded and accepted the job.

He ordered a thousand men and horses to be gathered. After resting in place, he escorted Fang La to turn around and march toward the capital.

Neither Han Shizhong nor his soldiers noticed the strange smile on the corner of the Chinese army's mouth.

Han Shizhong was brave and skillful in battle, and his grasp of fighter aircraft was extremely accurate, but when it came to conspiracy and conspiracy, he was far behind.

Song Qing not only gave the order to the internal guards to rescue Fang La, but also sent a letter to Tong Guan, stating that the task of escorting Fang La to Beijing must be given to Han Shizhong, and the number of troops he brought could not be large.

Tong Guan immediately understood what Song Qing meant, so he gave Han Shizhong such an order. Otherwise, with Han Shizhong's qualifications, backdoor, even if he caught Fang La, such a huge good thing would not be able to happen to him.

As for Han Shizhong, Song Qing still dare not expect him to join Liangshan's team, so since he cannot be used by me, he must not be allowed to be used by the court.

And if Jiangnan is determined, the next target of the imperial court must be the territory it currently occupies. Looking at the generals that the imperial court can currently use, it seems that no one can be included in Liangshan's sight.

Han Shizhong was a famous general and loyal minister, and the Song and Qing Dynasties would not kill him. Although his heart was dark and hard enough, he did not want to become a sinner who would be scolded forever.

Although Han Shizhong was a partial general under Wang Yuan, he was highly regarded by Wang Yuan because of his bravery in battle and high martial arts skills, and many important tasks were entrusted to him.

The men and horses led by Han Shizhong had strict military discipline and strong combat capabilities. Therefore, although the men he selected were only a thousand men and horses, they could be said to be elite officers and soldiers.

After a short rest, while it was still early in the weather, Han Shizhong gave the order to set off.

It seemed that the words of the Chinese army were verified. The place where Han Shizhong and his troops passed was very peaceful. When they reached the Huai River, they did not see a single shadow of the rebels.

After passing the Huai River, you will find the Xinyang Army's defense area. There is no need to be so worried anymore. The soldiers who were highly nervous along the way couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Han Shizhong's brows furrowed deeply. If something goes wrong, he must be a monster. This is too quiet. He is not escorting Ah Mao or Ah Gou. How could the number one rebel in Jiangnan not have even one person loyal to him?

If so, why didn't you come to save him? Are you looking for a suitable opportunity?

After setting up camp by the Huai River, Han Shizhong's eyes fell on the rushing Huai River.

Do you want to attack me halfway across the water? Huh! You guys really know how to find a place.

The thousand men and horses led by Han Shizhong were basically landlubbers. If the enemy attacked on the water, it would be a real problem, but they still had to get through the Huai River.

What to do?

Not far from Han Shizhong Camp is a pier. There is an inn beside the pier, which was originally a place for business travelers to rest and stay.

For the sake of safety, Han Shizhong ordered the soldiers to clear out all the guests in the inn, and then escorted Fang La in. He lived next door to Fang La.

Outside the inn is a military camp, with three floors inside and three floors outside, surrounding the inn.

In this way, even if someone wanted to rescue Fang La, it would be quite difficult. If the officers and soldiers were defeated, Han Shizhong could kill Fang La immediately.

There was only one boat at the ferry, and it could only carry twenty or thirty people at a time, so Han Shizhong was a little worried. He had ordered people to collect boats and try to get all the people to cross the river at once, so as not to give the enemy any opportunity to take advantage of it.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, what Han Shizhong was most worried about happened. Thousands of bandits emerged from nowhere and surrounded Han Shizhong's camp when the military camp was about to rest.

The enemy was obviously very familiar with the terrain here, so they were able to avoid the outposts sent by Han Shizhong and surrounded the officers and soldiers unknowingly.

Although the officers and soldiers faced several times the number of bandits, they did not panic at all and relied on the camp to quickly prepare defenses.

Han Shizhong ordered his people to keep an eye on Fang La. He came to the front of the camp and ordered his people to shout to the enemy that if they dared to attack by force, they would chop off Fang La's head.

Of course it was impossible for Han Shizhong to kill Fang La just like that. Compared with a living Fang La and a Fang La's head, the emperor obviously preferred the living one.

However, this sentence is indeed very effective. The gangsters who were originally preparing to attack fell silent, but had no intention of retreating. It seemed that they were discussing countermeasures.

Han Shizhong frowned and stared at the dark bandits opposite, his heart full of worry.

These rebels are not stupid. They know that if their leader is sent to the capital, he will also face a dead end, so they will risk their lives to rescue them. However, they only have a thousand people and they do not occupy a good position. They want to withstand the rebels' attack.

, it’s really too difficult. And I don’t know when the reinforcements will arrive. It seems that the only way is to chop off Fang La’s head and lead his own people to break out of the encirclement.

Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly heard a scream coming from the room where Fang La was being held.

Han Shizhong was suddenly shocked. Fang La was still locked in a wooden cage and surrounded by soldiers. How could there be screams? Did someone kill Fang La without his permission?

Without any time to think, Han Shizhong quickly ran towards the room where Fang La was detained.

There were also officers and soldiers outside the room. When they heard the shout, they rushed in immediately.

But when everyone saw the scene in the room, they were stunned.

The room was filled with corpses of officers and soldiers, but Fang La in the wooden cage was nowhere to be seen.
