Cai You gave up completely, and Baihua Brew suddenly disappeared from the market faster than it suddenly appeared on the market.
Those main stores, brothels, and Goulan Washe began to promote Jing Yangchun again, but no one mentioned Baihua Nian again.
Chuixuelou's shipment volume is still the same as before, and it seems that the competition from Baihua Brewing has never appeared before.
Pan Jinlian and Jia Shi breathed a sigh of relief. With Wu Song's help and in accordance with Ximen Qing's strategy of "drawing money from the bottom of the cauldron", Chuixuelou quietly weathered the biggest crisis since its opening, and also made a huge profit.
One hundred thousand coins!
Facing Cai You who looked disappointed, Sang Sanniang could only knock out her teeth and swallow her blood. All the mortgaged semi-colons were about to be taken away.
The previous Japanese plan was about to be launched urgently, and Sang Sanniang personally took action. A few days later, a carriage drove out of Chenzhou Gate.
Sang Sanniang's goal is Quanzhou, where she needs to find familiar merchants and hire a ship to go to sea.
Although it has been found that the winemaker Gao Quan leaked the secret of the other village, now that Gao Quan and Hong Yan, who were specially arranged by Sang Sanniang, have disappeared, Sang Sanniang is secretly happy for some reason and does not tell the matter.
Cai You.
Maybe, out of some sympathy?
Sang Sanniang was sitting on the carriage, thinking dreamily.
...
...
The news from Bianliang was just an interlude for Ximen Qing. The army was stationed in Zhaode City, and together with the reinforcements originally led by Sun An, it numbered around 150,000, which could be regarded as a real army.
To Sun An's surprise, Ximen Qing told Guan Sheng that they would not disrupt the army this time. The original 50,000 or 60,000 troops would still belong to him, Nie Xin, Jin Zhen, Pan Xun, Hu Mai, Xue Can, etc.
According to Ximen Qing, the number of troops under the control of five reduced generals has reached a certain scale. There is no need to follow the previous model, but to ensure the combat effectiveness of the army.
Guan Sheng admired Ximen Qing's proposal, and Sun An was also grateful. Since he defected to the Song army, he became the deputy marshal of the expeditionary army. In fact, his military power has not been weakened in any way. This shows that Ximen Qing and Guan Sheng
Absolute trust in yourself.
How did the two of them know that the basis for Ximen Qing's judgment was Sun An's actions, and a big factor was Sun An's performance in Water Margin. Since the surrender, he had been loyal and never had second thoughts until
After conquering Wang Qing, he died of a sudden illness.
Whenever Ximen Qing read Water Margin in his previous life, he would be filled with emotion and some doubts.
In the novel, as soon as Sun An died, Qiao Daoqing and others immediately bid farewell to Song Jiang and returned home, but instead went to practice with Zhenren Luo. It seemed like a premeditated thing. If Sun An faked his death, Ximen Qing also believed it.
Maybe it was during this period that Qiao Daoqing and others saw through the true face of Song Jiang's black fat man, and maybe they deliberately planned it. For Qiao Daoqing, things like cheating death couldn't be easier.
Thanks to Ximen Qing's efforts, Song Jiang is no longer the lord of Liangshan, but lives in Weisheng State, becoming Tian Hu's first-class secret agent. Wang Qing is also in the blood-blowing army and will not cause trouble in Jiangnan at all; moreover,
Needless to say, Qiao Daoqing had already gone to Erxian Mountain with Ruyunlong Gongsun Sheng to practice Taoism with Zhenren Luo.
This world has undergone some changes with the arrival of Ximen Qing, but it is still generally normal, and most of the characters appear in Water Margin. Therefore, Ximen Qing is relatively confident in Sun An.
The three of them talked and walked to the sand table to discuss the army's next move.
Sun An looked at the small flags on the sand table that could not be erected. The landscape and terrain were clearly visible, and he secretly sighed: "With such an exquisite sand table, it is natural for the Song Army to win!"
Guan Sheng looked at it for a while, then twisted his beard and said: "Weisheng Prefecture's right and left arms are Zhaode Prefecture and Jinning Prefecture. Zhaode City is already under the control of our army, and the morale of the other counties is completely lost. They must flee."
However, if our army attacks Weisheng Prefecture from the direction of Zhaode Prefecture, Tian Hu can defend it, and can also use Jinning Prefecture to deal with our army, or even send troops from Jinning Prefecture to sneak attack on Zhaode Prefecture.
The boundary between Gaizhou and Gaizhou... must be carefully considered."
"To crucify Tian Hu in Weisheng Prefecture, we must attack from both Zhaode Mansion and Jinning Mansion at the same time!" Ximen Qing had already thought about it carefully and blurted out without thinking: "But there is Fenyang Mansion to the north of Jinning Mansion.
, does the deputy marshal know how the defense is going?"
Sun An thought for a while and said: "The territory of Fenyang Mansion is very small and the defense is insufficient. However, in the end, it is not necessary to nail Tian Hu to Wei Shengzhou. In this way, Tian Hu will definitely mobilize his final strength to defend the city. For
It’s not a good thing for the people.”
"If you have any opinions, Deputy Marshal, you might as well speak up!" Ximen Qing said.
Sun An raised his hand and pointed at Fenyang Mansion on the sand table: "The city of Fenyang Mansion is low and cannot be defended. We can march into Weisheng Prefecture from Jinning Mansion and Zhaode Mansion and leave Fenyang.
Mansion passage; as long as there is a retreat, Tian Hu will definitely not defend the city, but retreat to Fenyang Mansion!"
Sun An's suggestion made Dadao Guan Sheng nod frequently.
In fact, it is very simple to say. Defeating Tian Hu is no longer a problem. The problem is where to launch the final battle: in Weisheng Prefecture, where Tian Hu has been operating for a long time, or in Fenyang Prefecture, a small city?
The answer is obvious.
Ximen Qing also very much agreed with Sun An's proposal, and the only thing left to discuss was the issue of troop division.
"There must be an army rushing into Jinning Mansion." Ximen Qing pointed to the sand table and said, "What does the deputy marshal think?"
Sun An smiled and said: "To be fair to the Marshal and the Supervisory Army, most of the guards of Jinning Mansion are under the command of the last general. If the last general had not led his troops along the way, he would have been able to convince the generals and give Weisheng Prefecture a surprise."
Dadao Guan Sheng was overjoyed: "If this is the case, the deputy marshal can lead his troops there, and I will allocate another 20,000 troops here, making up 80,000."
Sun An declined and said: "Although Zhaode City has been taken, it will take a lot of time to recover the entire territory one by one. The marshal and the supervisor are using the troops and horses, so why allocate them to the generals? There are fifty or sixty thousand.
We have enough people in this department!”
After Guan Sheng heard this, he said nothing. Ximen Qing took out another badge and said, "Deputy Marshal is going through Gaizhou. With this badge, he can pass without any worries, and he can collect military rations along the way."
Sun An shook his head and said: "If anyone wants to go to Jinning Mansion, they must pass through Gaizhou; but the soldiers are very fast, and the general will know a shortcut, which is to cross Panxiu Mountain and go directly to Jinning Mansion, and just carry more than ten days of dry food with the army!"
Sun An pointed out the road on the sand table and told Ximen Qing and Guan Sheng to listen. Ximen Qing said happily: "Deputy Marshal will definitely sing a triumphant song all the way when he goes here, and he can meet at the foot of Qinyuan County in Weisheng Prefecture!"
Guan Sheng was also overjoyed, and he high-fived Sun An and made a plan. Early tomorrow morning, Sun An would lead his 50,000 to 60,000 troops to cross Panxiu Mountain and attack Jinning Mansion.
Ximen Qing and Guan Sheng recovered various cities in Zhaode Mansion and prepared for the attack on Weisheng Prefecture.
Ximen Qing looked at the sand table. Not far to the north of Zhaode Mansion is Lucheng County!
Chi Fang, the guard general of Lucheng County, saw defeated soldiers coming from Zhaode City. He knew something was wrong, so he inquired about it clearly, and urgently ordered someone to fly a book to report to Tian Hu. Tian Hu knew that he jumped up and down anxiously, but there was nothing he could do.
Tian Hu originally wanted to secretly summon the national counselor Qiao Daoqing and the palace commander Sun An to return and find out the manipulator behind the death of the two brothers Tian Bao and Tian Biao. Tian Hu thought it was Bai Ying or Song Jiang, but there was no evidence and he was worried about the two.
If they were secretly making trouble, if they directly sent people to kidnap and torture them, just because they both came to defect to him, and Bai Ying had made great contributions, and they were arrested for no reason, they would be afraid that all the officials would not accept it.
Unexpectedly, Qiao Daoqing and Sun An both defected to the Song army. Sun An betrayed him and even gave away the huge Zhaode City as a gift, which made Tian Hu grit his teeth.
After thinking about it, Tian Hu sighed all the time. Tian Shi, Tian Biao's son, came to look for Tian Hu all day long, crying and wanting to avenge his father and second uncle. He took the black whirlwind Li Kui out of prison and cut him into pieces.
.
Tian Hu was undecided, how could he agree to his nephew? He just hid at Concubine Wu’s place all day so that Tian Shi couldn’t find him.
Today, Tian Hu was talking to Concubine Wu. The Huangmen official reported from outside that Prince Tian Ding asked to see him.
Tian Hu insisted on not seeing him, but Concubine Wu persuaded him: "The prince is the crown prince of a country, how can he refuse to see him? It would be bad if others find out."
Tian Ding was born to Tian Hu's wife. Neither Concubine Wu nor Fan Meiren were pregnant for a while. Although his wife died early, Tian Hu always regarded Tian Ding very seriously. When Concubine Wu said this, she nodded and called the prince in.
He didn't expect Prince Tian Ding to come in, but he dragged Tian Shi along with him, came close and bowed to say hello: "I have met my father, your Majesty."
Concubine Wu was smiling, while Tian Hu frowned and called the two of them up: "Why did my son come to see me?"
Tian Ding didn't say anything, but Tian Shi started to cry first. Tian Hu thought of his third brother Tian Biao as a hero, but he didn't expect his son Tian Shi to be such a puss, and he immediately became unhappy.
Just as Tian Hu was about to scold him, Tian Ding tugged on Tian Shi's sleeves to tell him to stop crying, and then said calmly: "Father, my second and third uncles are dead and have not been buried yet; the prisoner Black Tornado Li Kui is already in prison.
"Why don't you rectify the Fa immediately and try to rectify it?"
"Li Kui's black guy is just a doer." Tian Hu thought for a while and said: "The man behind the control has not yet appeared, so it is useful to keep him now! This black guy is already in prison, so naturally he can't escape, and he is left to be captured.
The people behind the scenes will be cut into pieces together to avenge my second and third brothers!"
Tian Ding reported: "My father has his own reasons for being a father, but if Li Kui stays in prison for one more day, there is a risk of being rescued. Besides, the prisoner is in hand and no execution will be carried out. How will the civil and military officials view my father?"
"What? They can still think of me as a coward?" Tian Hu sneered: "Even a fly can't get into the prison, who can rescue the black guy? What's more, the black guy surrendered himself.
There must be someone behind the scenes who made this black guy bear all the blame. If I ordered the black guy to be killed, wouldn't I be following his will?"
Seeing Tian Hu's refusal, Tian Ding stopped talking and pulled Tian Shi away and left, saying: "There are some people I know well in the prison, so I can do it secretly and kill that black guy!"
