Chapter Thirteen The Heavenly King Wields Troops at Zengtou City (2)
【Zengtou City】
On the day that Shi Wengong obtained the Yezhao Jade Lion and Horse, he sent a confidant to Bianliang with a letter, in which he explained in detail how to rob Liangshan and it took a lot of effort.
I just got the BMW. In addition, I also gave a clear report on the recruitment situation in Zengtou City and asked about the next step plan.
When Song Jiang received this letter, it was already after the Holy Spirit gave him the poisonous wine. Yes, Shi Wengong's letter was not sent to Song Jiang by anyone else. Now that everything has been said, let's move on.
I'm just kidding. At the beginning, Song Jiang didn't actually know Shi Wengong. Everyone had just heard about it in the world. But don't forget one person, that is Huang Xin, who always tried his best to promote Song Jiang's recruitment. At the beginning, he and
Shi Wengong took the martial arts exam in the same year. Huang Xin had seen Shi Wengong's ability. However, in the martial arts exam that year, the son of the Huangzhou county captain also participated. Everyone who knew the details gave in to Shi Wengong's martial arts exam, but Shi Wengong was the only one who was really good at it.
When he came to the ground, he not only refused to let go, but also beat the young man very badly. Therefore, he was secretly excluded by the chief judge at that time and was not included in the list. Afterwards, Huang Xin felt sorry for this man's ability and invited him out to have a few drinks and mix.
During the dinner, Shi Wengong talked about military strategy and other matters, and he had quite original insights. The kind of heroic spirit that can swallow up thousands of miles like a tiger is not something ordinary people can pretend. Even in this declining state, he was very
The fierce love remains undiminished.
What a pity for such a talented person. It was with this regret that Huang Xin introduced Shi Wengong to Zengtou City as a temporary instructor. After all, no matter how powerful a person is, he must be forced by life. And the names on the list are
Huang Xin was quickly transferred to Qingzhou as a military supervisor, and the two separated, but they often exchanged letters. Later, Huang Xin was dismissed, which really shocked Shi Wengong. Although he had suffered from some corrupt officials,
Although he was disappointed, his patriotic blood never stopped boiling. Even if he failed to achieve his goal, he would always vow that if he were to hold military power one day, he would definitely defend his country and honor his ancestors. Therefore, he could not bear to surrender himself in times of adversity.
Huang Xin's friend just fell into disgrace. At that time, Huang Xin came here to save his life, and secondly, he really wanted to surrender. However, Shi Wengong took the trouble to write letters one after another to persuade him, and then he gradually moved closer to him, who also wanted to recruit him.
Beside Song Jiang.
Shi Wengong persuaded Huang Xin to change his mind, but he was not satisfied. Instead, he further taught Huang Xin secret skills and taught him how to instigate rebellion. As a result, Huang Xin, with Shi Wengong's behind-the-scenes advice, broke the gap between Song Jiang and Chao Gai.
It even touched Song Jiang's inner ambition. There was originally a conspiracy to seize power in Liangshan, but it was stranded because of the attack on Zhujiazhuang. Later, it was disrupted by the arrival of Shi Jin. Huang Xin wrote an urgent letter about the matter.
, told Shi Wengong, but he did not give up. Instead, he vaguely felt that his opportunity to gain power had come, and gave Huang Xin instructions on what to do. Therefore, he later assassinated Shi Jin, ambushed Zhu Biao, and Song Jiang's generals forced Gong Chao
It's just a matter of time. However, what is planned is determined by people and accomplished by God. But Shi Wengong was not discouraged. After all, God would eventually make things come true for such a genius.
After Song Jiang occupied Yuncheng County, although he recruited troops and gradually grew stronger, how could a man like Song Jiang with a bunch of stupid young men have the ambition of a strong man to cut off his wrist? Behind this, Shi Wengong was the one who guided Huang Xin and hindered him.
Let Song Jiang completely break with Chao Gai and surrender to the imperial court with great courage. This was Shi Wengong's first move. He wanted to use Song Jiang to step into his official career step by step, but he didn't expect the first step.
, but did not expect the second step. After Song Jiang surrendered to the imperial court, a few days before he could honor his ancestors, news spread that Chao Gai had paid a large sum of money to take his head. Tong Guan, who regarded him as a thorn in his side, keenly
Seizing this excuse, he skillfully removed Song Jiang's military power and became a man with only a false name but no real power.
Shi Wengong was used to the ups and downs in his life, so he did not beat his chest, but changed his mind. He felt that although Song Jiang was aggrieved at the moment, under the fierce offensive of the Green Forest Army, he would one day be used to defend against the enemy, and few of Song Jiang's men could compete with him.
Song Jiang also knew this about the generals that Green Forest could contend with. When the time came for him to lead the troops according to the order, there was only one way to go, and that was to report to the Emperor, not just to activate him, but to reuse him, Shi Wengong. Because he believed that only he, Shi Wengong, could
It was the real sword of the Song Dynasty court.
Only a few days later, I heard that the imperial court had asked Fan Rui, who was born in the green forest, and others to lead a hundred thousand troops to rescue Zhengzhou City. People like the "Devil King" Fan Rui could become generals to save the country. Shi Wengong believed in his own judgment even more.
He recruited soldiers and horses from the city, and more and more diligently led the five tigers of the Zeng family to train his own Zeng family army. On the other hand, he also revealed his identity with Song Jiangdao through the obedient Huang Xin, expressing his regret for meeting each other late. He knew
What Song Jiang needs at this time is a force of soldiers loyal to him, and Shi Wengong has such a bargaining chip in his hands. Shi Wengong knows that he will be a mainstay in the court in the future, but the more this happens, the more he has to show his loyalty to Song Jiang at the moment
He is respectful and respectful, hiding his shrewdness and heroic spirit, and be like Sima Yi for a time.
Not to mention that it was inappropriate for Shi Wengong to compare himself to Sima Yihe, but Song Jiang was definitely not Cao Mengde. Just when he was calculating that his rise to power was just around the corner, Song Jiang over there had fallen into Tong Guan's scheme and drank the poisonous wine given by the Holy One.
, Song Jiang knew that his life was not long, and he began to regret it, but if he was given the medicine to regret, he still would not choose to be with the Green Forest Army. Not only because of the love of his life, Yan Poxi, but also because deep down, he
Song Jiang is not a person who is willing to rely on others. But Song Jiang will not reveal any of this even if he is beaten to death. He knows that although his poison is chronic, there is no cure. What's more, if the Holy One wants him to die, how can he save him?
He knew that if his tree fell, it would be a matter of time before the hozens dispersed, so Song Jiang sat quietly at home, keeping everything as usual. He was not waiting for death, but to support people's hearts.
He doesn't know how many days he has left to live in the end, but he will try his best to fight Shi Jin again in this last time. Even if it makes him feel sad and frown, Song Jiang can leave with a smile on his face.
And God was giving him such an opportunity. Shi Wengong was furiously preparing for his grand plan, thinking that Song Jiang, the puppet, was a sure winner in his trick of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. However, he didn't know that Song Jiang was still completely defeated by Song Jiang.
When Song Jiang got the letter from Shi Wengong, an idea flashed in his mind, and he burst into laughter.
Song Jiang wrote back and asked Shi Wengong to build more prison cars for future use. At the same time, Song Jiang quietly recruited Dai Zong, who was assigned to be the prison messenger. Song Jiang took out a lot of gold and silver from his arms, as well as a poem, and put it in his room.
They talked secretly for half a day. After Dai Zong arrived in Zengtou City, under the catalytic effect of money, Song Jiang's poems became widely circulated. However, the world only thought it was the work of the Zeng family and did not know that it was Song Jiang's behind-the-scenes operation.
But one day, the children in the market began to sing from mouth to mouth: Shake the iron bell, all the gods and ghosts will be frightened. The iron chariot is equipped with iron locks, with spikes on the top and bottom. Sweep the green forest army in Liangshan, wipe out Chao Gai and kill Shi Jin! Capture the jade unicorn alive.
, Capture Zhiduoxing alive! The Tseng family gave birth to five tigers! They are famous all over the world!
Song Jiang provoked trouble, which was tantamount to poking a hornet's nest. He knew Shi Jin's weakness, and he also knew how to kill someone with a borrowed knife.
【Liangshan】
It is said that after Chao Gai received the reward of the horse exploration, he could not restrain his anger. On the second day, he ordered 5,000 men and horses and asked six leaders to help him get down the mountain. The rest stayed in the mountain stronghold with Lu Junyi. On that day, Chao Gai took Qin Ming and Lu Fang.
, Guo Sheng, Shi Yong, Shi Xiu, and Yang Xiong led the three soldiers down the mountain. Lu Junyi and the leaders went on a farewell trip to the golden beach at the foot of the mountain. While drinking, suddenly a strong wind blew by the river. Everything else was fine, but Chao Gai made a new one.
The military flag was blown half-waisted. When everyone saw it, they were all pale.
Lu Junyi was taken aback and quickly admonished: "My brother just went out to the army, and the flag was blown off by the wind, which is not good for the army. Why not delay for a few days before going to talk to that guy again."
Chao Gai smiled slightly, patted Lu Junyi on the shoulder and said: "Brother, please don't worry, what's so strange about the situation in the world? If you don't go while winter is at its end and spring is warm, if you wait until the guys have developed the climate before marching into the army,
But it’s too late. Don’t try to persuade me anymore, no matter what, I’m going to go for a walk!”
Lu Junyi could not persuade him, and his attempts to persuade him were of no use. He had to tell Chao Gai to be careful on this trip and not to force him. Chao Gai agreed one by one. After drinking the wine, he led his troops across the water.
Lu Junyi returned to the village, but for some reason, he felt a little uneasy and couldn't sit still. He didn't know if something would happen if Chao Gai was on the road, or if he stayed behind to guard the village, something would happen. In short, this feeling of restlessness was always lingering.
The people were scattered all over the place to pester him. While Lu Junyi asked people to be careful and guard carefully, he also asked his clever minions to go down the mountain to find out the news about Chao Gai's invasion.
Let us say that Chao Gai and the six leaders took 5,000 men and horses. It didn't take a day to arrive at the boundary of Zengtou City and set down the stockade on the opposite side, ten miles away. The next day, Chao Gai first led the leaders to mount their horses.
Looking at Zengtou City. Just as many heroes were looking at it, I saw a group of men and horses flying out of the willow forest. There were about seven or eight hundred people. The first hero was Zeng Kui, the fourth son of the Zeng family. The guy was fighting
The horse yelled loudly: "You are waiting for the rebel grass bandits in Liangshanbo! I was just about to come to take you out of office to ask for a reward, but it turns out that God has given me a favor! If you don't get off the horse and be bound, how long will it take!"
Chao Gai was furious when he heard this, and saw a gray shadow rushing out from beside him. Looking around, he saw that there was a general who had already set out to fight Zeng Kui. It was none other than Thunderbolt Fire Qin Ming. The two of them fought against each other.
They met and fought for more than 20 rounds. Zeng Kui knew that he could not defeat Qin Ming, so he turned his gun on his horse and walked towards the willow forest. Qin Ming was not familiar with this place, so he reined in his horse out of caution. Chao Gai diverted his troops.
Returning to the stronghold, they discussed the strategy of attacking Zengtou City. Qin Ming said: "That Zeng Kui has nothing special to offer. Tomorrow we will go straight to Zengtou City to fight at the entrance. We are not afraid of him. We can also see their soldiers and horses by the way."
Whether it is true or not, we will discuss it at that time."
Chao Gai agreed. He rested that night and was careful to guard against night attacks.
