Chapter 48: Yesterday Reappears

The concept of rurality is very strange. When the Hebei army stepped on the land of Shandong and their hometown was in front of them, they exploded with a hundred times more fighting power. As soon as they made contact, they scattered Chao Gai's men like stars.

People all around were thrown into the desert and ran away.

Since the battle with Liangshan Ximenqing, this was the smoothest battle. The Hebei Army felt proud from top to bottom.

However, after driving away Chao Gai's army and marching for a long time, they suddenly discovered that something was wrong. It turned out that Chao Gai's troops were scattered around the Hebei army, like a pack of wolves that surrounded and refused to attack. Apparently, they were waiting for the most suitable opportunity.

When is the most appropriate time? Liang Zhongshu, Wen Da, and Li Cheng looked forward again and again, their faces changed at the same time, and they said in unison: "Not good!"

It turns out that Shandong and Hebei are divided by the Yellow River in this area. If Liang Zhongshu's troops want to cross the Yellow River, they have to ask Chao Gai behind him whether he agrees. Otherwise, if they try to attack halfway across the river, Liang Zhongshu will not be able to eat and walk around.

Making a decisive decision, Liang Zhongshu divided his troops into eight thousand troops, led by Wen Da, and set up camp on a high ground facing the sun and with water, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack. He pinned the lingering Chao Gai troops and confronted each other. Liang Zhongshu and Li Cheng

With 10,000 horses and only five days' worth of dry food, he traveled lightly to Daming Mansion. Anyway, this was his own territory, and there were enough prefectures and counties on the roadside to supplement the army's food supply.

When we arrived at the edge of the Yellow River, the prefect of Dongchang Prefecture in Bozhou had already been waiting to greet him. The prefect of Dongchang was usually honest and incorruptible, and was a rare good official in the Song Dynasty. However, because of a traitorous general under his command, Zhang Qing, who had no feathers and arrows,

In fact, he was scolded by the court, but Liang Zhongshu thought he was capable and went out of his way to say a few good words on his behalf, thus saving his position as prefect.

Today, Liang Zhongshu's kindness was rewarded. The prefect of Dongchang knew that Liang Zhongshu was going to cross the Yellow River, so he had already made preparations. He issued an order a few days ago, and the people in the four villages spread the word by word of mouth: "The wise envoy has something to do!" They all gathered together at once.

Everyone came and did their best. In just a few days, several pontoons made of ferries were erected on the Yellow River. The boats were connected with ropes and covered with broad boards, so that people and horses could walk calmly.

Liang Zhongshu was overjoyed to see him. But once he was bitten by a snake, he was afraid of well ropes for ten years. He first sent many scouts to cross the bridge to conduct reconnaissance. After confirming that there was no ambush, he led the army across the Yellow River. When leaving, Liang Zhongshu held the Dongchang Prefect's hand.

His hand sighed with emotion: "Today's world-famous people know that you have won the hearts of the people!"

The governor of Dongchang said modestly: "The villain is just taking advantage of the good governance of the left-behind adults!"

Liang Zhongshu was a little ashamed when he heard this. He was a Beijing resident in Daming Mansion and did a lot of practical things for the people. However, because he married a wife who was Cai Jing's daughter, he also did a lot of corruption and perversion of the law. Because even if he couldn't get through his

way, you can also take the way of his wife, and arrive

In the end, Liang Shijie still had to put the shit pot on his head. In the end, Liang Zhongshu simply broke the pot and smashed it. He tried to find money for Cai Jing's birthday in a year, but he didn't expect that he would take advantage of his family.

Mother-in-law's opinion, the quarrels between husband and wife have become much less frequent over the years.

If someone else becomes a corrupt official, he will wish that everyone in the world will become a corrupt official with him. No one will be clean, and a nest of snakes and rats will work together. Only then can the value of congeniality be shown. But Liang Zhongshu seems to have drifted in.

The leaves in the manure pit, although the surroundings were already stinky, but he could still look at the big tree next to him from the skylight at the entrance of the pit, recalling the green dream of the past. He still valued and cared for an upright official like the Governor of Dongchang.

Sighing and patting the governor of Dongchang on the shoulder, Liang Zhongshu asked: "Liangshan bandits, were you visible in the past few days?"

The prefect of Dongchang said respectfully: "Two days ago, Liangshan's navy passed by on the Yellow River. There were also troops advancing on foot and on land, but they did not disturb the place."

Liang Zhongshu breathed a long sigh of relief: "Two days ago? Not bad! If you work harder, you can still catch up!" He also gave the prefect of Dongchang a few words of diligence and love for the people, and then he and Li Cheng led the troops and flew away.

From Wangguan Town in Bozhou, we finally returned to Maqiao Town at the junction of Damingfu and Bozhou. They did not encounter any ambush. Everyone in Liang Zhongshu breathed a sigh of relief. Starting from Maqiao Town, Liang Zhongshu and his troops headed west all the way.

turned into a road

To the southwest, because Damingfu is surrounded by three large rivers: Zhang River, Wei River, and Macia River. If you continue to go west, you have to cross the river twice to reach Damingfu. If you turn southwest, enter Kaidefu, and then turn north, you can only reach Damingfu.

Just need to cross the river once.

Moreover, after entering Kaidefu territory and crossing the river, you will reach Nanle City. The troops can rest and recuperate in Nanle City for a while before raising their troops to march north. They will surely reach Daming Mansion ahead of Ximen Qing.

Tan Ma came to report that Ximen Qing was crossing the river. Although he was assisted by naval warships, crossing the river with a large army was not such an easy task. By the time he was exhausted and exhausted, Liang Zhongshu was already waiting at the gate of Damingfu City.

Thinking of the proud moment, Liang Zhongshu showed a truly relaxed smile after releasing the heavy pressure.

Liang Zhongshu and his men crossed the river non-stop and rested for half a day in Nanle City. The Daming Prefecture army became more and more enthusiastic as they got closer to the countryside. Although they were very tired from running, they still cheered up and rushed to Daming Prefecture with courage.

.

After leaving Kaidefu and arriving at Weidian, it was already afternoon. Tan Ma came back to report that Ximen Qing's troops had crossed the first river, and after resting briefly outside the old town, they were marching towards the second river. Liang Zhongshu listened.

He felt completely at ease, knowing that he had won this long-distance foot race in the end. By the time Ximen Qing crossed the river for the second time, he had already returned to Daming Mansion.

Thinking of the happy place, Liang Zhongshu smiled at Li Cheng and said: "Ximen Qing is a grassroots bandit from Shandong. He doesn't know the geography of Hebei, so he dares to travel thousands of miles away? Hehe..."

Li Cheng joked: "What Enxiang said makes sense. Ximen Qing's stupidity is really laughable! A general who doesn't understand civilization or geography is a mediocre person!"

We were joking all the way and arrived at a place early. The houses here are all built along the river. The houses in the village, the alleys, and the roads are all slanted, and there are many turns, which are extremely winding. Liang Zhongshu was in the middle of the situation, nodded and sighed.

: "This is a really important place for military strategists! But I don't know its name?"

The old soldier in front of the horse said: "I don't know, sir, this place is called Maling Road Crossing, and it is also a famous place."

Liang Zhong wrote: "The intersection of Maling? Could it be the place where Sun Bin defeated Pang Juan during the Battle of Maling between Qi and Wei during the Warring States Period?"

Li Chenggong said: "Your Excellency is indeed knowledgeable and memorized. This place is the site of Maling during the Warring States Period."

Liang Zhongshu was stunned for a moment. Thinking of the story of Sun Bin and Pang Juan, a sense of ominousness suddenly arose in his heart.

During the Warring States Period, Sun Bin and Pang Juan studied the art of war under Guiguzi. Pang Juan went down first and became a general on the throne of Wei Hui, but he knew that Sun Bin was more talented than him. In order to avoid future troubles, he deceived Sun Bin to Wei and punished him.

Punishment (cutting out the kneecap),

Wanting to trick Sun Bin into secretly teaching the Guigu Art of War, Sun Bin found out who he was and pretended to be crazy to avoid trouble. Fortunately, an envoy from the State of Qi envoy Wei met Sun Bin and carried his secret back to the State of Qi. King Wei of Qi did not

Sun Bin was disabled and looked down upon him, so he generously appointed Sun Bin as military advisor.

Later, Wei and Zhao fought, and Pang Juan went straight to the city of Handan, the capital of Zhao, and surrounded Handan. Zhao asked Qi for help, and Qi appointed Tian Ji as its general and Sun Bin as its military advisor to rescue Zhao.

Tian Ji wanted to directly aid Zhao State in Handan, but Sun Bin stopped him and said: "To untie the knotted silk rope, you can't fight with your fists. To break up the fight, you can't participate in fighting. To quell the dispute, you have to grasp the key points and take advantage of the weakness. Both sides will be restricted to free themselves."

Now they are separated. Now that the elite troops of Wei State are pouring out, if I attack Wei State directly, Pang Juan will return to rescue him. In this way, the siege of Handan will be solved. If we ambush Pang Juan on his way back, his army will be defeated.

"Tian Ji acted according to the plan.

Sure enough, when he heard that Daliang, the capital of Wei State, had been taken advantage of by the Qi army, Pang Juan was frightened and hurried back to his army. On his way back, he was ambushed and fought with Qi in Guiling.

, retreated to Daliang, the Qi army was victorious, and the siege of Zhao was also solved. This is the famous story of "Besieging Wei and saving Zhao" in history, and it was the first new game in the ever-lasting mobile war.

Thirteen years later, the armies of Qi and Wei met again on the battlefield. Sun Bin ambushed under the Maling Road. Pang Juan fell into Sun Bin's ambush again. He was defeated and committed suicide. Sun Bin thus became famous all over the world and his military skills were passed down from generation to generation.

The more Liang Zhongshu thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. Today's situation seemed to be repeated yesterday. If Ximen Qing used the attack on Daming Mansion as a bait to transfer himself back from Qingzhou City, he would only have to attack the Maling Fortress.

If you set up an ambush everywhere, that is absolutely not a good idea!

Just when my heart was beating wildly and uneasily, I heard the front troops making noises. It turned out that there was a big tree with several people hugging it on the road ahead. A large piece of bark had been peeled off from top to bottom, and the pale core of the tree was now covered with

After killing the ants, these creatures actually formed seven shocking big characters - Liang Zhongshu captured it here!

When Liang Zhongshu heard the news and hurried to take a look, the seven black characters of ants looked like dried blood under the setting sun, giving off a ghostly aura. Liang Zhongshu was so frightened that he couldn't hold his hands and screamed.

: "No! I fell into a trap!"

Before he finished speaking, he heard continuous cannon fire all around, flags, swords and guns all standing upright in the wind, and countless people shouted like thunder: "Don't leave Liang Zhongshu!"

Seeing that Liang Zhongshu was in despair, Li Cheng hurriedly passed down the general order, and the rear team acted as the front team, and quickly left this dangerous place. Unexpectedly, before the order was conveyed to the end, the rear army was already making a loud noise, and there were flames flying among the clang of swords and guns.

rise, then

Later, some soldiers came to announce the funeral: "Report——! Sir! Liu Tang, the red-haired ghost from Liangshan, and Li Ying, the flying eagle, led their troops to block the way back. Dozens of trains were lined up in several rows.

There are also strong bows and crossbows blocking the way, and the brothers can’t get through!”

Not long after, the messengers arrived in unison - the two-headed snake Jie Zhen and the two-tailed scorpion Jie Bao were coming to kill them at the front. On the left was the sick man Suo Yang Xiong, and on the right was Shi Xiu, the desperate man.

Hong, Xiaozhao blocked Mu Chun and came to kill him - the sound of killing was loud all around, and they only wanted to capture Liang Zhongshu.

Looking at the black letters of ants on the tree, Liang Zhongshu sighed: "Could it be that today God is going to kill me, Liang Shijie?" This is exactly:

I am ambushed everywhere and my life is taken away. Who are you busy with? But I don’t know what Liang Zhongshu’s life is. Let’s hear the explanation next time.
