The three most treacherous ministers, Grand Master Cai Jing, Privy Councilor Tong Guan, and Grand Lieutenant Gao Qiu, gathered in the study room of Cai Mansion.
"Captain Gao, how did your men do this? Do you want to go back and play football with your Yanei family?"
Cai Jing holds Jade Ruyi in his hand and squints his eyes, like an old cat basking in the sun.
However, in Gao Qiu's eyes, Cai Jing was a beast that devoured people. He was so frightened that he quickly raised his hands and said, "Please calm down, Prime Minister. My subordinates are not doing their job well. I have already executed Marquis Li Yu. Hu Yanzhuo cannot attack Liangshan, so I will do it tomorrow."
I will submit a letter to His Majesty and escort him back to the capital for questioning."
"Humph, that's all, that's all."
"Wang Lun of Liangshan has sent a letter to me, asking me to exchange one hundred thousand gold and silver jewels and ten thousand war horses for my son. What do you think we should do?"
Cai Jing snorted coldly. If this Gao Qiu hadn't been quite fond of the emperor, he would have been crushed to death long ago. Now he can only beat him first.
If you don’t know the signs, there will be no shortage of people in Song Dynasty who know how to play Cuju!
"The Liangshan thieves are arrogant and domineering, and they must suppress their arrogance before they can save the young master. Why don't we write to Your Majesty to give Hu Yanzhuo a chance to make meritorious service, allocate five thousand forbidden troops to conquer Liangshan, and dispatch the deputy artilleryman Hongtian of Tokyo Jiazhanku
Lei Lingzhen went to reinforce Hu Yanzhuo."
Gao Qiu had just received the battle report from Hu Yanzhuo in the morning and asked for help from gunners, so he was mentally prepared.
Gunpowder was used in military applications in the late Tang Dynasty. Now in the late Northern Song Dynasty, firearms have developed to a certain extent, but their power is limited.
"What Lieutenant Gao said is inappropriate, what should I do with Mr. Cai? I think we should replace Mr. Cai first, and then let Hu Yanzhuo go into battle." Tong Guan saw that Cai Jing's face was a little dark, and he quickly suggested.
"If one hundred thousand gold and silver jewels and 10,000 war horses are given to Liangshan, wouldn't that be raising tigers? What's more, if 10,000 war horses are given, what will happen to our Jingzhong Horse Barracks?"
Gao Qiu hated Liangshan very much because of Lin Chong's incident and did not want Liangshan to grow stronger.
"There's no need to argue. Who among us will pay for these 100,000 gold, silver and jewels?"
Cai Jing looked at Gao Qiu and asked coldly, his anger still lingering. The meaning was obvious, you should compensate for the things you did wrong.
"This one hundred thousand gold and silver jewels was sponsored by my subordinate."
Gao Qiu was stared at by Cai Jing, and he broke into a cold sweat behind his back. He couldn't afford to offend this old guy now, so he could lose money and avoid disaster.
"Ten thousand war horses are too many, so let's make a discount. Allocate 3,000 good horses from the army and 2,000 slave horses from the people, mix them together, and give them to the Liangshan bandits."
Cai Jing was furious. He was one person below ten thousand people in the court. This was the first time someone dared to blackmail him. If the Liangshan bandits were not destroyed, my name would not be Cai Jing.
But now he can only endure it. After all, his son is in the hands of others. Wang Lun threatened to use his son to make an issue. He was also afraid that the matter would get bigger and some other treacherous officials would seize the opportunity to stir up trouble in front of the emperor.
Cai Jing, the grand master, is known as the public minister; Tong Guan, the privy envoy, is known as the female minister; Liang Shicheng, the imperial tutor, is known as the hidden minister;
These three people are the most traitorous officials in the court, and the three of them are about the same strength and status.
The young chief minister Wang Fu, the Weiyuan Jiedushi envoy Zhu Meng, and the great eunuch Li Yan relied on the three above them and committed many evil deeds.
Now Wang Qing is in the west, Fang La is in the south, and Tian Hu is revolting in the north. The contributions of the six thieves are inseparable.
These six thieves did the most bad things and were the most ruthless, but there were two treacherous ministers whose status was not weak, namely Taifu Yang Jian and Taiwei Gao Qiu. These two were not good people either.
The emperor is fatuous, treacherous officials are in power, the imperial court is corrupted, and wars are everywhere.
There was an uprising in the country, the Western Xia Dynasty refused to submit, the Liao Dynasty was eyeing it, the Jin people in the Northeast were rising, and the Song Dynasty was already in a state of turmoil.
"These five thousand horses can't be taken advantage of by Liangshan. We should order the horses to be sent to Liangshan. After replacing them with Mr. Cai, they will poison all the horses." Privy Councilor Tong Guanyin felt pity, Liangshan was causing trouble for us.
, then you Liangshan don’t even think about getting any benefits.
"Don't use highly toxic poisons. Use chronic poisons. Wait until the war horse reaches Liangshan and then attack again after a few days."
Grand Master Cai Jing nodded, this is a way, but for the sake of safety, it is better to ensure that his son is safe first.
"It's better to let the horses get sick and destroy the other horse armies in Liangshan."
"Hey hey hey, drink tea, drink tea~"
After Cai Jing discussed with the privy envoy Tong Guan and Taiwei Gao Qiu, two senior officials of the imperial army, he arranged for someone to contact Dai Zong and obtained Wang Lun's permission.
Hongtian Lei Lingzhen led 5,000 forbidden troops, escorted 100,000 gold and silver jewels and 5,000 war horses and rushed to Jeju.
A month later, Wang Lun reached a deal with Cai Jing and exchanged Cai Jiu for 100,000 gold and silver jewels and 5,000 war horses.
Only one day later, Wu Yong and others hurriedly came to report.
"Brother, the old thief Cai Jing is really cunning. Among the five thousand war horses, two thousand are used by the common people to pull goods and are not suitable for war horses. In addition, many of the horses have diarrhea, are sick, and can no longer stand still."
"This business is a bit of a loss."
Wu Yong greatly regretted that he was too careless and only saw the quantity without carefully checking the quality.
Moreover, these horses seemed to be sick, and the original Liangshan war horses were also infected with the disease. In other words, now Liangshan's horse army can only become an infantry army.
"Report~ The imperial court has allocated five thousand forbidden troops to Hu Yanzhuo, threatening to crush our Liangshan Mountains and capture Wang Lun alive. A letter of challenge has been issued!"
"In addition, the prefect of Jeju issued an order, and the magistrate of Yuncheng County began to drive away passing merchants, destroying our Liangshan trade route."
Dai Zong, the Shenxing Taibao, rushed to report that the situation was not good for us in Liangshan.
In order to strengthen Liangshan, Wang Lun not only developed agriculture in the mountains and fisheries in the water, but also secretly developed commerce. For example, he let Zhugui Zhugui in the dry land open a hotel in the name of gathering information and doing business at the same time.
Therefore, for now, Liangshan can be completely self-reliant and self-sufficient. There is no need to rob the people. Instead, it can protect the local people, and its reputation will naturally improve.
Wu used comprehensive information to remind Wang Lun to be careful: "Brother, Hu Yanzhuo's proud three-thousand-horse formation has been destroyed by us. Coach Lin and Hu Yanzhuo can fight to a draw again. But now Hu Yanzhuo still dares to challenge,
There must be something to rely on.”
Huang Wenbing suggested: "When the troops come, we will block the water and use the soil to cover up. Our Liangshan Mountains have favorable geographical advantages. If we lose to Hu Yanzhuo, we can just withdraw our troops and return to Liangshan Mountains."
"Let Zhu Gui find out who the imperial court sent to reinforce Hu Yanzhuo."
"Dai Zong, you go to Dongchang Mansion immediately and find me a veterinarian named Zibeard Bohuangfu Duan. This man is good at treating horses. You bring me a thousand taels of gold. You must pay a lot of money to ask this man to go to Liangshan to treat war horses. If he
If you don’t want to join the gang, we can hide your name and you can go in and out of the village at will."
"Go back quickly, don't delay."
"By the way, send Zhang Shun to Jiankang Mansion and ask the miraculous doctor An Daoquan to go up to Liangshan and join the team. I remember that An Daoquan had a good friend who was a brothel girl. I asked Zhang Shun to pay her a lot of money to redeem her, and I asked An Daoquan to go up the mountain and join the team.
I promise that he will become the Imperial Physician of the Imperial Hospital in the future."
As the leader of a village, Wang Lun naturally cannot panic and quickly arranges manpower to solve the problem.
Among the 108 heroes in Liangshan, there are three whose special skills are most valued by Wang Lun. One is the divine Taibao Dai Zong, the other is the miracle doctor An Daoquan, and the last one is the purple-bearded Bohuangfu Duan.
They all played an important role in ensuring the march and fighting. Dai Zong passed on information and invited experts.
It is normal for people to have headaches and fever if they eat whole grains. When fighting on the battlefield, it is even more common to get injured. If there is a miracle doctor sitting in Liangshan, it is almost equivalent to saving a life.
Don't think Huangfu Duan is just a veterinarian. Buying horses, raising horses, and treating horses all depend on this person.
It turns out that in time and space, one hundred and eight heroes from Liangshan conquered east and west, and no one died. When they conquered Fang La, a lot of leaders died. Among them, the genius doctor An Daoquan and the purple-bearded Bo Huangfu Duan were left in the capital, resulting in some heroes
Deaths from illness, snake bites, and serious injuries occur.
