Chapter 192 The Destination of Lin Chong, the Great Leader in Liangshan
Chapter 192 Liangshan’s throne, Lin Chong’s destination
As expected by Wu Yong, Lin Chong quickly defeated Gaotang.
Gao Lian, the magistrate of Gaotang, was a distant relative of Gao Qiu, and of course he had already appeared in the third server.
Gao Lian's brother-in-law Yin Tianxi was beaten to death by Chai Jin who came to Gaotang after trying to seize the family property of Chai Jin. Although he knew that Chai Jin, as a member of the former royal family, had iron certificates of alchemy, Gao Lian still beat Chai Jin severely and jailed him.
On death row, prepare to be executed in the autumn.
Hearing that Lin Chong ordered five thousand soldiers and horses from Liangshan to attack, Gao Lian didn't take it to heart at all.
When the two armies were facing each other, he used his magic, and there was a burst of flying sand and rocks, and a violent wind.
Gao Lian ordered his French soldiers to pursue and kill him, and then sent the state's army to cover him up.
Although Lin Chong was brave, he had never been able to defeat such extraordinary power. Liangshan's troops were in panic to fight, and soon collapsed without fighting.
We lost more than a thousand people and retreated to camp fifty miles away.
A few days later, Chao Gai, Song Jiang, and his five thousand troops and leaders arrived.
Of course, he was accompanied by Ruyunlong Gongsun Sheng, who was said to be able to soar into the clouds, control the wind and rain, and scatter beans into soldiers.
By this time, Lin Chong had already understood that he had to abdicate his position in Liangshan to make way for someone more worthy.
Otherwise, he will only die.
As the saying goes, there are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the mountains, and among the strong, there are even stronger hands. After all, Gao Lian's technique is not inferior to Gongsun Sheng's skill.
Within a few rounds, he was suppressed and attacked from two sides by Chao Gai and Song Jiang, and finally died under Gongsun Sheng's flying sword.
Chao Gai and Song Jiang captured Gaotang, rescued Chai Jin, and his reputation skyrocketed.
After Chai joined the gang, he brought a large amount of gold and silver to Liangshan. Song Jiang, who had the support of a wealthy man, was naturally confident, and Lin Chong also knew that the situation was over.
In the Juyi Hall, although no one took the initiative to mention the change of position of the big boss, Lin Chong, who was sitting on the main seat, could not sit still under the unkind eyes of everyone.
He stood up slowly and said: "Brothers, now we have a lot of talents in Liangshan, and all the heroes have gathered together, and we have become a great weapon. However, Lin has little talent and little knowledge, and he is just a brave and foolhardy man. He cannot be the master of Liangshan. Therefore, Lin
Suggestion, please..."
Lin Chong looked around at everyone, his eyes were deep and he said: "Please either Brother Chao Gai or Brother Gongming, be the Lord of Liangshan!"
Everyone was stunned, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Lu Zhishen frowned and stood up and said: "Brother Lin Chong, why are you doing this? This Liangshan has been prosperous in your hands. You have always been the master of Liangshan. Why do you resign now?"
Lin Chongchong cupped Lu Zhishen's hands and said: "Great monk, Lin has already said that I have little talent and little knowledge, and I am really unable to control Liangshan. In the previous expedition to Gaotang to rescue Chai Daguan, if it hadn't been for the timely action of Brother Chao Gai and Brother Gongming, I, Liangshan, would not have been able to control Liangshan."
If I just point out the troops, they will all be lost in Gaotang. Lin is so ashamed that he cannot bear his position."
Lu Zhishen sighed, and seeing that Lin Chong had made up his mind, he stopped trying to persuade him.
Although he was reckless, he also saw some of the situation on Liangshan Mountain.
However, Lu Zhishen didn't have much thought about who should be the lord of Liangshan. As long as he could deal with things fairly, considerate the brothers of the family, and had enough prestige, he thought it would be fine.
As for Chao Gai and Song Jiang, they actually have this qualification.
But Lu Zhishen just felt that it was unfair to Lin Chong.
Seeing Lin Chong say this, Song Jiang's face remained unchanged, but he still sneered in his heart: This guy is in such a situation and still secretly fanning the flames, he really deserves to die!
In fact, Song Jiang also understood that if he pushed forward forcefully at this moment, there would be no problem with others including Wu Yong. The only ones who could be resentful were the three heroes of the Ruan family, Liu Tang and Gongsun Sheng.
Of course, what he was even more worried about was that Chao Gai and his master Wang Lin were sworn brothers.
Although Shi Jun clearly stated that he would be promoted as the lord of Liangshan, he was still worried that if he stole Chao Gai's limelight, he would arouse the resentment of Shi Jun.
It depends on the situation and will be considered in the long run in the future.
Thinking of this, Song Jiang made a decisive decision and knelt on one knee in front of Chao Gai: "Brothers, how could Song Jiang be so virtuous and capable that he dare to be the lord of Liangshan? Chao Gai's brother went to Liangshan first and made great contributions to Liangshan, and he is better than us.
Elderly people should be respected!"
"Brother Chao Gai please ascend to Liangshan!" Song Jiang was the first to shout.
Wu Yong, Gongsun Sheng, the three heroes of the Ruan family, and Liu Tang also prostrated themselves and shouted: "Brother Chao Gai, please ascend to the throne of Liangshan!"
Seeing that the situation was unstoppable, other Liangshan leaders could only follow the trend and ask Chao Gai to take the throne.
This has been something Wu Yong has been planning for a long time, so it is unlikely to encounter any obstacles.
When Lin Chong saw this, although he was extremely angry, he still followed and bowed down.
On the same day, Chao Gai held a banquet in Juyi Hall, drank with the leaders, and left happily.
In the evening, Chao Gai was having a drink with Wu Yong and others in private. The discussion was nothing more than how to control the power of Liangshan and further consolidate his position as the leader.
Dai Zong hurriedly came to report: "Brother Chao Gai, brother Gongming, scholar, and leader Na Lin went down the mountain alone!"
"Zhu Gui tried to dissuade him, but Lin Chong said: He was an officer, so he had no choice but to become a bandit. Now that Liangshan has fallen into the hands of his elder brothers, he feels that his ways are different and that he does not want to conspire with each other, so he left alone and will never see him again in the future.
Liangshan has nothing to do with it anymore."
Chao Gai was furious and was about to send people down the mountain to capture Lin Chong, but Wu Yong said: "Brother, everyone has their own ambitions, why bother to stop him? Since Lin Chong is willing to find another way out, let him go. After all, brothers should keep some points.
Incense and love.”
Song Jiang also said: "Yes, brother, Lin Chong is actually quite unhappy and doesn't get along with all the brothers. It's better to just let him go and save us the awkward look!"
Chao Gai suddenly slapped the table and said: "That's it, just go if you like!"
Song Jiang thought in his heart that even if he didn't leave, Song wouldn't be able to tolerate him in Liangshan anymore.
This person has offended the envoy, and I am afraid there will be no place for him in this world.
Under the mountain, the moonlight is like water and the stars are brilliant.
Lin Chong was galloping on the official road with a gun in hand. He stood on his horse and looked back at Liangshan Dazhai, feeling quite sad.
As the saying goes, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain. If he stayed in Liangshan, his fate would be worrying, so he could only leave.
Lin Chong sighed, this world is so big, where can I live?
After thinking about it, he remembered that he had some old acquaintances in the Tokyo Forbidden Army, and was now a general under the command of Xianggong Xiaozhong of Hebei Province, so he identified the direction of Daming Mansion in Hebei Province and galloped away.
He was preparing to join the army in Hebei.
…
Early September.
Wang Lin and members of the Song envoy returned across the sea and landed in Laizhou.
Coincidentally, half a day before Wang Lin led 3,000 tiger guards to land in Laizhou, more than a thousand remnant soldiers of the Liao Kingdom also landed in Laizhou and attacked Laizhou City.
The leader turned out to be Yelu Hongwen, the chief military officer of the Liao Kingdom who guarded Baozhou.
Half a month ago, Wanyan Zonggan of the Jin Kingdom led 50,000 cavalry to suddenly attack Baozhou. The Koreans also took advantage of the situation and led troops to attack, forming a pincer attack from the north and south with the Jin people.
Yelu Hongwen was defeated and the city was destroyed, so he had to lead his remaining soldiers to flee from the sea.
In panic, the ship made a mistake in its course, and only after landing did it realize that it was the Song Dynasty.
But there is no way out now.
Yelu Hongwen led his remnant troops to attack Laizhou. He originally wanted to plunder a small amount and replenish supplies before leaving. He was also fully mentally prepared for a bloody battle with the Song army. However, he did not expect that what he encountered was an empty city.
Laizhou City, which was originally guarded by two thousand Fuhu troops, was deserted. The people in the city scattered and fled into the mountains and forests. However, the respected Lord Zhizhou, Zhao Mingcheng, led two thousand soldiers and horses to abandon the city and defect to Mizhou.
The two thousand people of the Fuhu Army did not know why, but as Zhao Zhizhou was the military and political officer, they could not disobey the military order.
Yelu Hongwen sent troops to plunder the city, and planned to repair in Laizhou for a day or two before returning to the sea by boat, when he ran into Wang Lin's three thousand tiger guards.
The results can be imagined.
Yelu Hongwen's remnant army was completely wiped out, and the Tiger God Guards fought a hearty battle of surprise and annihilation.
Fortunately, Laizhou City did not suffer much damage due to the looting by the Liao soldiers, and all the people's properties looted by the Liao soldiers were recovered.
Wang Lin was so angry that his whole body trembled.
He really didn't expect that Zhao Mingcheng would make such a cowardly feat of abandoning the city at this time.
Originally, he was supposed to have served as the prefect of Jiangning a few years after the Jin soldiers invaded Jingkang.
Thinking about it, with his cowardly and fearless mentality, it is not difficult to understand when he would abandon the city.
And if there is a first time, there will be a second time, there is no doubt about it.
Zhao Mingcheng was captured on the way to Mizhou.
The two thousand Fuhu Army to which he belonged was ashamed and ashamed when they learned the true situation.
What else can they say when they meet such an official?
Laizhou Prefectural Government.
Wang Lin's face was as sinking as water, and he was sitting on the seat of governor that originally belonged to Zhao Mingcheng. The Yanqing people were divided into two groups. Zhao Mingcheng's face turned red and he bowed down in fear: "Your Majesty, Zhao Mingcheng, pays my respects to the envoy!"
Wang Lin suddenly slapped the alarm and roared: "Zhao Mingcheng, do you know your crime?"
Zhao Mingcheng knelt down with a puff: "The lower official knows the crime, the lower official knows the crime!"
Wang Linke suppressed his anger and said slowly: "Zhao Mingcheng, you are also from a famous family. Your parents and ancestors were all high-ranking officials in the Song Dynasty. How could you...how could you lead your army to abandon the city and abandon the people when foreign enemies invaded?
Regardless? Are you ashamed?!"
Zhao Mingcheng fell to the ground in shame and did not dare to say a word.
He thought that there were tens of thousands of Liao people, and the mere two thousand people in Laizhou could be their opponents. From the moment he received false military reports, he lost the will to defend the city and simply fled, and even tried to protect his troops and unite with Mizhou.
Here comes the signal for counterattack.
Later I learned that the Liao army was a defeated army with only a thousand people.
"Thankfully you are still a famous scholar in the Song Dynasty. As the magistrate of Laizhou, in times of crisis, you abandon the people and run away. Your behavior... is really a shame for the Song Dynasty!"
Wang Lin took a deep breath: "Someone is here to take away Zhao Mingcheng's position as governor of the state. He ordered Sun Fulin, the governor of Mizhou, to temporarily take charge of Laizhou. He also ordered someone to report the matter to the imperial court and wait for the imperial court to deal with it."
Wang Lin actually almost wanted to put Zhao Mingcheng on the spot and enforce military discipline.
But when he remembered that this person was just a little timid and had never made any serious mistakes in his life, and that the land of Qinglai and Liuzhou would need a large number of civil servants to do things in the future, he thought about it over and over again and thought it would be better to keep Zhao Mingcheng.
Furthermore, Zhao Mingcheng is a famous scholar in the world after all. If he kills as many as he wants, he will definitely arouse criticism from the Song Dynasty gentry.
Of course, we also take into account the factors of Li Qingzhao.
He did not want to bear the reputation of killing Li Qingzhao's husband.
