Han Shizhong has been in Dulonggang for many days, but there is still no news about Wu Dong.
He was not in a hurry, and studied the art of war and martial arts with Liang Hongyu every day. His art of war was very good. Historically, he often defeated more with less, making him one of the few famous generals in the Song Dynasty. However, Liang Hongyu's knowledge of the art of war was not as good as his own.
superior.
Of course Liang Hongyu was just talking on paper, but this already made Han Shizhong very happy.
As for martial arts, Han Shizhong is proficient in all kinds of martial arts, whether it is swords, guns or sticks. He is a super master. Several heroes in Liangshan may not be able to catch up with him in martial arts. As for Liang Hongyu, she looks petite and cute, but she is born with supernatural power.
She was proficient in bows and arrows. Other swords, guns, and sticks were also involved. Otherwise, she would not have been able to lead the troops herself in the end, and she was surrounded by Jin people and died.
Both of them had a feeling of meeting each other too late. With Liang Hongyu as his companion, Han Shizhong even put Wu Dong's affairs aside for the time being.
"It's a pity that I already have a wife, otherwise I would definitely marry you." Han Shizhong said.
Now Liang Hongyu is just his concubine, and her status is not high, which makes Han Shizhong very sorry.
"How can I become a general's wife when I'm a bitch? If that were the case, others would gossip about her." Liang Hongyu said calmly.
"Haha, I, Han Shizhong, don't care what others think about what I do?" Han Shizhong laughed.
If history has not changed, after Han Shizhong's wife died, Han Shizhong was made the head wife by Liang Hongyu, who was a prostitute. This is extremely rare in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad.
A bright smile appeared on Liang Hongyu's face and she said: "Thank you, General."
The two chatted and laughed for a while, and Liang Hongyu said: "I have heard some things about Liang Shanbo these days. It turns out that they have even conquered a territory in Goryeo. The officers and soldiers of Goryeo are no match for them."
Han Shizhong was silent for a moment and said: "Yes, Liangshanbo is already a serious problem for the country! Goryeo, Liangshanbo, Hedong... If these three places were combined together, it would be terrifying just thinking about it!"
Since the founding of the Northern Song Dynasty, although peasant uprisings have continued, the influential peasant uprisings have not been very large. Similar to Liangshanbo, there are few that have occupied several places. Unfortunately, the court's understanding of Liangshanbo is very limited. If Liangshanbo had not sent troops
Occupying the land east of Hedong, the imperial court may still not be aware of the threat of Liangshanbo.
Liang Hongyu said: "Husband, if you really kill that Wu Dalang this time, you will definitely be promoted to an official position. This is also a good intention of Mr. Zhong."
Han Shizhong smiled bitterly and said: "I'm not interested in promotions... As long as the country can be peaceful, it's fine for me to be the current general."
After chatting for a few more words, Han Shizhong called Wang Dutou from Yanggu County over and said, "Wang Dutou, where has that Ximen Qing gone? Why haven't you seen him in the past two days?"
Wang Dutou said: "General Han, he should still be in Hujiazhuang. I will go there to look for him."
Han Shizhong said: "Then go back quickly and bring him here. I want to ask him something."
…
At that moment, Wang Dutou went to find Ximen Qing. After walking on the mountain road for half an hour, he finally arrived at Hujiazhuang and was invited in by Hu Cheng.
"Where is the official Ximen? Why aren't you here?" Hu Cheng asked in surprise when Ximen Qing didn't come out to greet him.
"He's already gone." Hu Cheng lowered his head and said. His expression was very nervous. Fortunately, Wang Dutou didn't pay attention.
"This Ximen Qing, doesn't he know that military orders are hard to disobey? General Han asked him to obey orders at Dulonggang, and he dared to leave. Could it be that he is risking his life?" Wangdu muttered.
Hu Cheng said hurriedly: "Wang Dutou, why don't you rest in the village for a while, and I will get you some wine."
Wang Dutou said: "No, General Han is still waiting for my reply, so I will take my leave."
At that moment, Hu Cheng sent Wang Dutou out, then hurriedly returned and headed towards the backyard.
In the backyard, there are many people practicing martial arts. However, it is different from the martial arts in ordinary martial arts. They are practicing the martial arts of going into battle to kill the enemy. There are dozens of people working closely together. You come and go, and the fight is very enjoyable.
Almost.
The leader was an ordinary-looking middle-aged man, standing aside at the moment, guiding everyone in martial arts practice. Seeing Hu Cheng arriving, the man said: "Master Hu, why are you here?"
Hu Cheng said anxiously: "Brother Bai, I have sent General Han away to find Ximen Qing. I'm afraid they will come again. If they can't find Ximen Qing then, they will definitely doubt me."
It turns out that the leader is none other than Bai Sheng, a Liangshan officer stationed in Dulonggang! He has been here for almost a year, and he and Hu Cheng have long been familiar with each other. Now these martial arts practitioners are also Liangshan soldiers and horses, staying in Hujiazhuang.
As for Ximen Qing, he is quite clever and has good observation skills. He stayed in Hujiazhuang for a few days and found Hujiazhuang more and more strange, especially when he heard the sound of martial arts training in the backyard of Hujiazhuang. He wanted to check it out, but Hu Cheng did not agree.
In the end, Ximen Qing sneaked into the backyard, but was discovered by Bai Sheng, and was finally locked up in a house in the backyard.
Bai Sheng said: "This matter is easy to handle. The Governor is coming to Dulonggang soon, and I am about to take action in the next few days."
Hu Cheng was taken aback and said, "Do it?"
Bai Sheng said: "Yes, I am going to take down Han Shizhong and his group."
"Ah!" Hu Cheng was stunned and said: "This...general, please think twice! Han Shizhong has thousands of soldiers and horses under his command. It is simply impossible to capture them all!"
Bai Sheng said: "This is no problem. We don't have to fight with them. Aren't your Hu family in charge of their food and drinks? You can take them all down with just you."
Hu Cheng was a little puzzled and said: "How can we capture them?"
Bai Sheng said: "Idiot, you are using sweat medicine!"
There were beads of sweat dripping from Hu Cheng's forehead. He really didn't want to do such a thing.
Although he has secretly taken refuge in Liangshan, he only provides Liangshan with food, grass, and a place to rest, and has never helped Liangshan kill the army. If Han Shizhong's group of people were fooled by Mongolian sweat medicine, they would have truly entered a den of thieves.
Can't escape anymore.
Seeing Hu Cheng's appearance, Bai Sheng sneered and said, "If Master Hu doesn't want to go, then we can take the place of Master Hu and deliver wine and food to those people."
Hu Cheng smiled bitterly, thinking that if you go and I go, is it the same? In the end, the debt will still be settled on the Hu family.
There was no other way at the moment, so Hu Cheng had no choice but to agree.
Early the next morning, Hu Cheng prepared a large amount of wine and vegetables, all of which were filled with Mongolian sweat medicine. Then he and dozens of Liangshan soldiers carried these wine and vegetables to the valley where Han Shizhong was.
There are only 500 soldiers in the valley now, and the rest have been sent to various places to investigate Wu Dong's whereabouts.
Hu Cheng brought the food and wine up, and everyone from top to bottom began to eat and drink.
Hu Chengdao: "If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."
Han Shizhong was chewing on a chicken leg and said, "Where is Ximen Qing? He hasn't returned to Hujiazhuang yet?"
Hu Cheng felt nervous and said, "Yes, he hasn't come back yet."
Han Shizhong frowned and said: "I sent someone to Yanggu County yesterday to look for him, but he couldn't be found. Do you think this person may have colluded with Liangshan and now he has reported to Liangshan?"
Hu Cheng said hurriedly: "How is this possible? Ximen Qing is a gentry family in Yanggu County and has nothing to do with Liangshan."
Han Shizhong didn't nod or shake his head. He took a sip of wine and said, "Then go ahead."
Hu Cheng's clothes were almost soaked with cold sweat. He breathed a sigh of relief and strode outside.
Before he reached the entrance of the camp, Han Shizhong suddenly said: "Wait a minute!"
Hu Cheng felt his heart pounding and his body stiffened for a long time. Then he turned around, forced a smile on his face and said, "General Han, what else can you do?"
Han Shizhong stared at Hu Cheng and said slowly: "You look very wrong. Do you know something? Or did you do something to Ximen Qing?"
Hu Cheng was shocked and said: "How can a villain dare to do bad things when he is a good person?"
The more Han Shizhong looked at Hu Cheng, the more he felt something was wrong. He snorted coldly and said, "Come on, catch this guy!"
Just after saying this, Han Shizhong suddenly felt a little dizzy. He held his head and was about to fall. There were already two soldiers over there rushing towards Hu Cheng, but these two soldiers had just jumped on Hu Cheng, and suddenly
He was also completely exhausted and fell to the ground unconscious.
"Mongolian sweat medicine!" Han Shizhong spat out these three words with difficulty, and then fell to the ground with a thud.
