Chapter 90 Qingfeng Mountain Soldiers Approaching the City II
"Officers and soldiers," Wang Ying suddenly thought about Yan Shun's words and said in surprise: "Where did the officers and soldiers come from? You were just talking about this for a long time. When will it happen?"
"Just in the morning, some minions found out about the matter and came up to the mountain to report that it was the prefect Murong of Qingzhou who had written a document and sent it to Zhongshu Province by Xingye, telling Hua Rong, Qin Ming, and Huang I believe that we will raise a large army to conquer,"
After hearing this, Wang Ying discussed with everyone: "This small village is not a place of long-term love. If a large army comes and surrounds it, how can we brothers and these three or four hundred people face the enemy?"
"Look, I'm not the only one who says this," Wang Ying said: "It's not that I inflate other people's ambitions and destroy our own prestige, let alone our Qingfeng Mountain, even the Erlong Mountain and Taohua Mountain, after all, it is the classic I can’t wait to conquer with a large army,”
"At least, we still have time now," Zheng Tianshou said.
After Qin Ming heard this, he immediately said: "It can take two or three days at a time, or seven or eight days at a time. Generally speaking, according to the order of Zhongshu Province, it is not a problem to gather 50,000 troops. In addition, Qingzhou headquarters still has 30,000 troops. Horses can be used, it depends on who leads the troops. If there are some capable people, let alone 80,000 horses, even 10,000 horses will be enough."
"There aren't even 10,000 arrow feathers in the village now. Even if we get one arrow, we can't kill them all," Hua Rong said.
"I have a way," Zheng Tianshou said.
Everyone felt happy when they heard this, and all their eyes fell on him.
Zheng Tianshou said: "Not far from here, there is a mountain stream. We can build dams and embankments to store the water. When the officers and soldiers come, we will open the embankments. Although it is not as severe as a mountain flood, it can still Catch the officers and soldiers by surprise and consume tens of thousands of their troops,"
"No, this must never be done." If the mountain stream is accumulated and the embankments are breached, it will really cause a lot of damage to the officers and soldiers. However, it will also destroy the fields and harm the people in the countryside," Song Jiang said even though Denied this method: "Don't mention this again,"
Zheng Tianshou felt ashamed after hearing this. Nonuo stopped mentioning it and the entire Juyi Hall fell silent again.
After a while of burning the incense, Song Jiang sighed deeply and said: "Since you all have no choice, we have no choice but to act like this. I don't know if it will suit your wishes."
After hearing this, all the heroes said: "I would like to hear good advice."
Song Jiang waved his hand and said: "If there is really a good strategy, there is no need to make this move. There is a place in the south. The name of the place is Liangshanbo. It has a radius of more than 800 miles. In the middle is Wanzi City, Liao'er, and Chao Tianwang gathered three to five thousand people. The army and horses guard the water, and the officers and soldiers hunt for thieves. They dare not look at him, let alone step into the water. Their territory is dozens of miles around. Why don't we pack up our troops and go there to join the gang?"
Hua Rong listened and said: "Liang Shanshui Po, I have heard of this. They robbed this year's 'Birthday Program'. They must have some skills. Since there is such a place, it is really desirable, but no one introduced it. How could He accommodate so many of us on the mountain?"
Song Jiang laughed loudly after hearing this, and immediately told everyone about the robbery of the gold and silver of the "Birth Anniversary". When he got to the section about Shi Jin's letter, Song Jiang paused and hid all the details. He just said: "Shi Jin personally brought gold to thank me, so he killed Yan Poxi by mistake and fled in the rivers and lakes."
"Shi Jin personally brought the gold to thank you. Brother, I didn't expect that you and the Jiu Wenlong would be so close to each other," Wang Ying couldn't help but be overjoyed after hearing this.
Song Jiang smiled faintly and said nothing.
"Since eldest brother recognizes Shi Jin and he is doing great things in Huayin, why don't I join him too," Hua Rong said, "In the current world, Jiu Wenlong's reputation is at its peak, and I heard that it is also a Good man, we have the relationship with Brother Song here, so we are not afraid that he will not accept us,"
"Yes, come to think of it, Brother Song is also his benefactor. If it weren't for Brother Song, they would have been taken away by the whole group, and they would never have returned to Huayin alive." Zheng Tianshou said with great joy: "We Why not take advantage of the opportunity and do great things with him, wouldn't this life be in vain?"
"Okay," Wang Ying said, "If we conquer half of the country in the future, we can also be granted the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households. Don't you think so?"
Qin Ming didn't speak, and was silently unhappy. Going to Shi Jin was originally a planned escape route for Qin Ming and Huang Xin, but now it has become the plan of everyone. Song Jiang is not kind to Qin Ming and Huang Xin. If he goes to Shi Jin, Doesn't it mean something bad? Qin Ming doesn't know what kind of person Shi Jin is. If he goes with Song Jiang, he will throw himself into a tiger's den. Thinking of this, Qin Ming can't help but feel that his life has become a lot more gloomy. However, Qin Ming There is still a glimmer of hope in my heart. If he is really desperate, where in the world will he end up...
While everyone was talking about it, Song Jiang felt unhappy again. Although his face seemed to be somewhat radiant when he talked about Shi Jinjin, this brother who had been with him for a long time still treated his beloved woman " "Have done it." Although this matter has passed, the hatred in Song Jiang's heart has faded a lot after Yan Poxi died. However, every time he thinks of this person, he can't help but think of Yan Poxi and the past love between himself and Yan Poxi. And every time at this time, all the things that happened between Shi Jin and Yan Poxi in bed would come one after another, making all the good things about Song Jiang suddenly become disgusting, and Song Jiang's mood would be ruined in that moment. Every time he thought about it, he would feel sad in his heart. I hated it once, but now I can't say whether I'm used to it or indifferent. Although it's not as extreme as before, in Song Jiang's heart, he always feels that Shi Jin still owes him something. Even if he is not as good as him now, Song Jiang still wants to gamble. With this breath, he will have to avenge this heart-wrenching revenge in the future, and at least let Shi Jin taste what kind of cramp it feels like. However, at the moment, everyone is talking about their admiration and respect for Shi Jin, and it is even more... This person yearned to join him, which made Song Jiang feel more and more unbalanced.
Song Jiang hid his displeasure and spoke slowly, saying: "To defect to Shi Jin, if I take everyone there, of course it won't work even if he doesn't want to. However, we and others will bring three to four hundred brothers, a huge team and supplies." Quite a few. How could they retreat so arrogantly? Those officers and soldiers would definitely not let go of this opportunity, and encirclement and killing along the road were absolutely indispensable. Besides, when Shi Jin brought the men from Erlong Mountain back to Huayin, We will go to Liangshan first, and then find a way back to Huayin. For now, we should go to Liangshan first to get a firm foothold. Whether we want to go to Huayin or not, we will make our next plan."
Everyone heard Song Jiang's words, and somehow there was a kind of helplessness and sadness. They didn't know that what Song Jiang was thinking in his heart was that he regretted that such a good opportunity to capture Qingzhou was shattered overnight, and his comeback was far away. He originally wanted to sweep Qingzhou in just one month and recruit troops to do something big. Even if it was not grand, he could still compete with Huayin's Shi Jin. But in the future, when he competes in the world, he Only then can he have the strength to let himself do what he wants and let Shi Jin repay what he should repay.
But these are all hidden under Song Jiang's smile, hidden in Song Jiang's heart. The fat woman didn't know, and Wang Ying naturally couldn't guess it. But at the moment, she clapped her hands impatiently and said: "That makes sense, then let's do it as big brother." Just do what you say, without further ado, let’s pack up quickly and go,”
So, everyone made a decision that day and packed dozens of cars. They loaded the old and young, gold, silver, property, clothes, luggage, etc. on the cars. A total of three to two hundred good horses were also packed and ridden. .
When everything on the mountain is ready and everything to be taken away is loaded on the cart, they will set fire to the village and burn it to the ground. If any of the young men doesn't want to go, give them some silver and let them go down the mountain to join other masters. Those who were willing to go were organized into a team, and together with the soldiers brought by Qin Ming, there were three to four hundred people. Song Jiang taught them to go down the mountain in three groups, pretending to go to capture the officers and soldiers of Liangshanbo. Song Jiang and Hua Rong A group led forty or fifty people, more than one hundred and fifty riders, surrounded by seven or eight carts, protecting the old team and went ahead; Qin Ming, Huang Xin led the first ten riders and some miscellaneous forage carts, as a The second batch; followed closely behind were Yan Shun, Wang Aohu, and Zheng Tianshou, leading more than 240 cavalry and 780 infantry to mop up the rear and guard the posts.
A group of people left Qingfeng Mountain in a mighty manner and took the road to Liangshan. Although they did not have the attire of officers and soldiers, the flag clearly read "Capture grass bandits and defend the village." They pretended to be a spontaneous bandit suppression in the village. Seeing the large number of people, the militiamen and officials did not want to cause trouble, and did not think too much about other places. Therefore, no one dared to stop them, and no one was willing to stop them. They marched quickly on the road for three or four times, and then they left. Now that Qingzhou was far away and outside the jurisdiction, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Let's talk about Songjiang. Hua Rong and his two horses were riding in the front, and the vehicles behind them were carrying the old and young. They were only about twenty miles away from the people and horses behind them. They came to a place called Duiying Mountain. There were two high mountains on both sides. The general situation was in the middle. But it is a big post road, like a reflection in a mirror, hence the name. It is on the Songjiang River, and between Hua Rong and Hua Rong, they can only hear the sound of gongs and drums in the mountains in front of them.
After hearing this, Hua Rong immediately reined in the horse, hung the spear in his hand in the horse's holster, and said, "Be careful, everyone, there must be a strong man ahead." After saying that, he took the bow from the flying fish bag and put it in his hand. Inside, he carefully paid attention to the movement in front, and immediately called the sergeant on horseback to urge the two groups of soldiers and horses behind to follow them quickly, and protected the vehicles and people.
Song Jiang and Hua Rong led more than 40 riders forward to explore the road. When they were more than half a mile ahead, they saw a group of people and horses in the distance, about a hundred people, all wearing red clothes and armor. The young warrior in red armor and a horizontal halberd immediately stood in front of the hillside and shouted: "Today I will compete with you to determine the winner and loser."
I saw a group of people coming out from behind Shan Gangzi on the opposite side. There were more than a hundred people, all in white clothes and white armor. They were also hugging a young warrior wearing silver armor. He also had a square-shaped halberd in his hand. There are plain white flags on this side, and crimson flags on the other side. The red and white flags on both sides are waving, and the drums are beating like an earthquake. The two warriors, without saying a word, each holds a painted halberd in his hand, and sits down on his horse. Then they rushed to fight in one place.
But in the blink of an eye, the two people fought for more than thirty times on the broad road in the middle, and they couldn't tell the winner or loser.
