The main hall of Haizhou Prefecture is still brightly lit even though it is midnight...
Zhang Shuye, the magistrate of the state, was wearing an official robe and a black gauze with swallow wings on his head and was looking at an account book on the table... A soldier who joined the army next to him carefully held up another stack of account books and whispered: "Sir, just leave these things to me.
Officials, please do it! These are troubled times, and you have to take care of yourself!"
Zhang Shuye shook his head: "If you don't take a look for yourself, I won't feel at ease... The turmoil in Jiangnan has greatly damaged the vitality of the imperial court! Although His Majesty has already issued an order to abolish the Yingfeng Bureau, it is a bit late after all... The imperial court is afraid in the coming year
There will be another tax increase, and I’m afraid we can’t add more taxes to the south of the Yangtze River, and there’s a lot of corruption in the north... I’m afraid the people in the Central Plains of Huaihe and Huaihe will have to suffer again!”
"Alas..." The soldier also shook his head and sighed, and then helped Zhang Shuye put the account books... and saw a messenger in military uniform kneeling carefully outside the lobby door.
"Sir Zhang Haizhou, I'm here, I have an urgent military situation!"
Zhang Shuye raised his eyebrows... "Why are you so panicked? Come in and talk!"
"yes……"
The visitor was a confidant of Haizhou Bingma Qianjia, who was sent by Zhao Qianjia to deliver a message.
Du Tou knelt in front of Zhang Shuye's case again, lowered his head and reported: "Master Zhang, our sentinel got the news that the thieves took eight muddy water boats and planned to land at the Bali River Bend in Haizhou, which happened to be safe.
Open the Balihe Health Center on the north bank..."
Zhang Shuye spread out the map he had prepared with one hand and looked at it... "On the other side of the Bali River are several market towns and villages... These thieves may take the opportunity to plunder supplies. Has your Zhao Qianjia already arrived at Bali?"
River Guard Station?”
"Returning to your lord, our Guizhou governor has already rushed to the guard station..."
"It's slow... How many people are there in the imperial army and the guard army he brought?"
"Returning to your lord, there are three hundred forbidden troops and more than one hundred Xiang troops..."
Zhang Shuye pinched his beard and was silent for a while, then shook his head: "Suppressing the guard station is enough, but suppressing the bandits is far from enough... Go back first and tell Zhao Qianjia to hold the guard station firmly and prevent the thieves from going directly north to harass the mainland of Haizhou.
That’s it...the rest, once you find that the thieves have been defeated on the shore, prepare torches and kerosene to rush into the river bend and burn the thieves’ boat! If the military situation is delayed, I will only ask him!"
Looking at the fierce Zhang Shuye, Xiao Dutou quickly knelt down and kowtowed... "I know it, I will go back and report it to my family in Guizhou Province! Don't worry, sir..."
Zhang Shuye nodded: "Go down! It is about eating the emperor's salary and being loyal to the emperor. You are all soldiers of the Song Dynasty who paid for the food and food to support you. Remember to eliminate harm for the people! Don't be greedy for life and afraid of death..."
"The villain obeys the command... the villain obeys the command!"
Zhang Shuye sighed... When will the officials in this world be able to rule the Qingming Dynasty and the generals will be brave?
Zhang Shuye has been wary of his rule for a long time. Ever since the La incident in the south of the Yangtze River, Zhang Shuye has used thunderous means to quickly arrest and attack a group of people who were ready to move. He also recruited soldiers, bought horses, accumulated food, trained local braves, and distributed weapons to defend against foreign enemies.
.
Coupled with the recruitment of many young refugees from Jiangnan or Chuzhou, the number has reached more than a thousand people in less than a year!
Song Jiang's Jingdong Thirty-six thieves have long been guarded by Zhang Shuye. If they want to survive being surrounded... their only purpose is to escape southward along several rivers or by boat just now!
Zhang Shuye wants to succeed in one battle and completely wipe out Song Jiang and his gang of thieves...
~~~~~~
Song Jiang was a little depressed... Brothers Wu Yong and Wu Song, together with Hua Monk Luda, these guys are highly skilled in martial arts, and their drinking capacity is even more ruthless than the last!
It's a pity that these people seem to have some objections to defecting to Fang La... But where can they go if they don't go to Jiangnan? Are they really going to attack Tokyo Bianliang with the hundreds of minions at the beginning? I have nothing to lose and I'm crazy...
The reason why the court couldn't catch me was because I and a group of brothers were highly skilled in martial arts, and also came and went like a cunning rabbit in three caves! We always broke through and looted a county treasury, and the courier reporting the emergency from the court had not yet been delivered.
Where is Zhizhou’s desk!
It doesn't matter where you escape... The worst case scenario is that you can continue to flee south! Jiaozhi, Dali... Champa City, these minions can't control it, but you can just take care of your most loyal brothers. Where there are brothers, there will be a world.
There will be wealth!
Without war horses, leaving fifty men to guard the boats parked in the river bend, Song Jiang led all his confidants to a market...
Majiaji is quite prosperous. Pedestrians and businessmen coming and going will rest here. There are also many warehouses, restaurants and restaurants.
Song Jiang climbed up a slope and took a closer look, but two people at the bottom got into an argument...
The short Wang Ying pushed a stout black man and cursed: "Hei Tantou, it's time for grandpa to take the lead this time... It was you last time, who chopped off the head when you entered the yard... Good job."
You killed this little lady in vain, why don’t you leave it for your brothers to taste the fresh meat?"
The black man curled his lips: "I've been thinking about that little thing all day long... What a special girl, people look down upon you! No wonder Wu Dawu Er and the great monk hate you!"
"Are they just eggs? Do I need to think highly of them? They go their separate ways... From now on, it's their own business whether they live or die and work as dogs for the imperial court! If they offend grandpa, I'll still send them to see the Lord of Hell...
…”
Song Wen coughed and scolded: "We are marching outside, why are we making so much noise? Don't you know how to write the word "death"?"
Wang Ying and Li Kui looked at each other, then shook their heads seriously... "I really can't write..."
Song Jiang was almost angry. He pointed at Majiaji and said: "You two, stop arguing. You bring fifty brothers and go over there, overturning the village soldiers at the village gate... Then rush in directly and look for the official office."
Maybe the military training store breaks down and lights a fire! I will lead a group of brothers to follow you... Remember, set more fires and kill less people. What we want is to seize the grain, grass, baggage and money of those warehouses... Fight quickly
Don't provoke the officers and soldiers coming to Haizhou immediately."
"Just watch it! Brother..."
About three hundred bandits rushed towards Majiaji with great interest.
Li Kui and Wang Ying quietly walked over with about fifty gangsters, and found only two rural soldiers shrunk drowsily by the Zhaimen intersection. It seemed that Majiaji had been peaceful for a long time, and there were no regular people.
The gates of Erbajing's village are all gone.
Li Kui and Wang Ying, each armed with a broadsword and an ax, rushed towards the two rural soldiers and killed them... Blood splattered, and the two rural soldiers lost their lives in confusion!
Li Kui tore off his torn jacket, revealing a body of black tendons and dirty hair, and howled at the top of his lungs... Then he and Wang Ying lit the torches in their hands and rushed into Majiaji with their men!
Occasionally, a few panicked people would show up. As soon as they saw these ferocious-looking thieves, they would immediately disappear and hide...
It was hard to see even a few people along the way, and not even a wailing could be heard from the burned-out houses and firewood courtyards! A few people quickly opened the shop to find the treasurer... only to find that it was a mess inside, and nothing of value was missing.
!
Another look... Li Kui and Wang Ying had already fought their way into Majiaji. Later, when Song Jiang saw that Li Kui and Wang Ying had succeeded, he concluded that there was no ambush here, and led most of his minions to follow closely and fight into Majiaji.
Home gathering!
Suddenly, there was a roar of gongs and drums everywhere... Torches were lit in the northwest half circle of Majiaji, and the sound of people shouting and horses neighing was loud!
"Kill the thief!"
"Catch Song Jiang!"
"Haizhou Forbidden Army is here, Chuzhou soldiers and horses have led a large army to surround..."
"The thief kneels down quickly and asks for permission..."
