Chapter 244 Attack Tai'an Prefecture (for the leader of the alliance, Prince Tai
While Chao Yong was having a drink with Wu Song and others, he smelled a scent spreading from behind. When he turned around, he saw two turbulent waves gradually approaching.
But it was Sun Erniang who sat down next to Chao Yong. When Chao Yong looked from below, he could only see mountains and mountains but no one.
Chao Yong saw Zhang Qing sitting down beside him and quickly looked away from Sun Erniang's towering peaks.
Sun Erniang sat down and had a bowl with everyone, and said to Chao Yong: "Now everyone has arrived in Qingzhou, and our hotel has also been evacuated. I wonder what else our couple can do for Daliang in the future?"
Lu Zhishen smiled and said: "You and your wife are both good at martial arts, why don't you lead troops and fight like everyone else?"
When Sun Erniang heard this, her eyes lit up.
However, Zhang Qing next to him laughed and said: "Master is joking. My husband and I have ordinary martial arts skills. How can we open up and expand the territory of Daliang like Master?"
Li Kui shook his head and said: "He is also an unhappy person."
Chao Yong smiled and said: "Brother Zhang Qing can continue to open a hotel if he doesn't want to change his career."
When Sun Erniang heard this, she couldn't help but wonder: "I have already established the country in Daliang, why do I need to open a hotel?"
Chao Yong smiled and said: "Of course I'm not asking you to go to those remote places to open a hotel to drink the sweat medicine, but I'm asking you to open a hotel in the city."
Lu Zhishen smiled and said, "That's good. When the Sa family travels around the world in the future, they no longer have to worry about being charmed by others."
Wu Song said with a smile: "With Er Niang's temperament, if you don't like me, even the city will have to drug you to fool you."
Sun Erniang couldn't help but blush when the two talked about her. She glared at them and said, "If you talk about it again, I'll have to cover you up next time."
Zhang Qing, however, was not joking and asked suspiciously: "Could it be that the prince asked us to go to the Song Dynasty to open a hotel in the city to inquire about information and act as an internal agent?"
Chao Yong shook his head and said: "No, in our territory of Daliang, the hotels are mixed with dragons and snakes, and it is easy to collect folk information. It is easy to conquer the world. Without those conspiracies, we can unify the country with our many heroes in Liangshan. But it is difficult to defend the world. , I want you to collect folk information to understand the needs of the people. At the same time, you should also monitor local officials. If they dare to take bribes and bend the law, they will be severely punished. Otherwise, brothers will throw their lives and blood to conquer the country, but in the end they will be defeated by those corrupt officials. In the hands of officials."
Hearing this, Lu Zhishen nodded and said, "What Brother Yong said is that we in Daliang cannot repeat the mistakes of the Song Dynasty."
Wu Song also said: "A corrupt official will never know how many people he will defraud. He should monitor them closely."
Zhang Qing was secretly frightened when he heard that they were given such a heavy responsibility. The danger of being under someone else's rule and monitoring them was not small.
Chao Yong smiled and said: "I will give you the status of a police officer, so that you are not subject to the control of local officials, but you are not allowed to show off on weekdays, and you are only responsible for delivering the news and do not have the right to arrest anyone."
When Shi Qian heard this, he smiled and said, "Then they are also spies, just like my little fleas?"
Under Chao Yong's instructions, Shi Qian formed secret agents. Because Shi Qian mostly selected people with quick skills, people in Liangshan called them fleas.
Shi Qian was not ashamed, but felt that the person he wanted was as agile as a flea, so he also approved the title.
Chao Yong shook his head and said: "Your spies hide deeper, but they always have traces to follow. You are not subordinate to each other. Zhang Qing and the others are more like censors, but they live in the market and have a better understanding of the sufferings of the people. At the same time, Being closer to local officials can better play a supervisory role."
Seeing that Chao Yong was so cautious, Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang happily accepted the job.
That night, Chao Yong was very drunk after eating.
The third day of the Liang Kingdom's Daqing was over, and when Chao Gai was preparing to send people to capture Binzhou, news came that the Song Dynasty ordered Tong Guan to lead an army of 200,000 to attack Fang La, and Gao Qiu to lead an army of 100,000 to attack Liang.
When Chao Gai heard that one hundred thousand troops were coming to attack, he did not dare to neglect and hurriedly summoned everyone to discuss countermeasures.
Li Kui shouted: "It doesn't matter how many soldiers and horses he has, come one and kill one, come two and kill a pair. I'm afraid they don't come enough to kill, so they will eat my heart out this time."
Zhao Mingcheng shook his head and said: "The enemy is outnumbered and we are outnumbered. If we go to war, we are afraid that we will be outnumbered. It is better to prepare more rolling logs and stones, rely on the city to hold on, and then wait for opportunities to counterattack."
When Chao Yong heard this, he shook his head and said: "The soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty are just sheep, but the soldiers and horses of my beam are tigers. No matter how many sheep there are, how can they defeat the tigers? Our beam has just been built, and we are about to win a big victory.
To promote the prestige of our country.”
When Lin Chong heard that his enemy Gao Qiu was leading the army, he immediately said: "What the prince said is that the imperial army of the Song Dynasty has long been decayed, so why should we be afraid?"
Lu Zhishen immediately shouted: "The Sa family is also in charge of the battle."
A number of military generals also took charge of the battle. Even Left Prime Minister Wu Yong felt that Liangshan's troops were not comparable to those of the Song Dynasty, and supported the battle.
Seeing everyone saying this, Chao Gai nodded and said: "Okay, then we will give the Song Dynasty soldiers and horses a head-on blow."
Chao Yong thought for a while and said: "Since we have decided to go to war, why not be more proactive? We first capture Tai'an Prefecture before Gao Qiu's army, and then fight Gao Qiu's army in Tai'an Prefecture to expand the strategic space."
Zhao Mingcheng also nodded and said: "What the prince said is true. We have just founded the country and the people's hearts are not yet attached. If a decisive battle starts in Qingzhou, I am afraid that the people will flee to the Song Dynasty."
Chao Gai naturally did not want to be a prince in an empty city, so he immediately said: "Okay, then I will personally lead the troops to attack Tai'an Prefecture, and then defeat Gao Qiu's army."
When Chao Yong heard this, he hurriedly said: "Now Qingzhou is the foundation of my country. I still need my father to be in charge, so that the army can feel at ease. I will leave the matter of attacking Tai'an Prefecture and Gao Qiu's troops to my sons and ministers."
Chao Gai thought for a while and then said: "Okay, then you can take all the troops and horses. Qingzhou has reserve troops to defend it."
Daliang now has 20,000 regular troops and 7,000 reserve troops.
Wu Yong said: "We are going to attack Tai'an Prefecture. If we attack by force, I'm afraid it will be difficult to attack in a short time. By then the soldiers will be tired. It will be difficult to defeat Gao Qiu's army again. We must outwit them."
When Chao Yong heard this, he nodded and said, "What good plan does the Left Prime Minister have?"
Wu Yong said: "It will be difficult to mobilize the troops and horses of Tai'an Prefecture, so we can only mix in some internal forces in the city, and then cooperate with the internal forces and outside to break Tai'an Prefecture."
Chao Yong frowned and said: "We, Daliang, have captured Qingzhou and Zizhou. Tai'an Prefecture must be heavily guarded. It's not easy to sneak in."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gongsun Sheng said with a smile: "There are many Taoist temples in Tai'an Prefecture, but it is convenient for poor Taoists to sneak into the city."
Lu Zhishen also said: "There are more temples in Tai'an Prefecture, so the Sa family can naturally go in."
Traveler Wu Song also said: "I should have no problem."
Chao Yong looked at these three genuine monks and said with a smile: "I forgot about the three of them, so I will ask the three of them to enter the city first, and the army will follow. If the soldiers and horses of Tai'an Prefecture do not go out to fight, I will let Shi Qian and you
connect."
Everyone agreed that Gongsun Sheng, Lu Zhishen, and Wu Song would go to Tai'an Prefecture first.
The three of them rushed to the gate of Tai'an Prefecture City, and saw that passers-by were checked at the city gate very strictly. Fortunately, the three of them were monks, and they had proof that they had finally entered the city.
When the three of them entered the city, they saw that the city was also heavily inspected and they did not dare to go to the inn to rest, so they had to stay in temples and Taoist temples.
But it is said that the magistrate of Tai'an City here is surnamed Wen, a native of Tokyo. He was originally a sycophant. Because of his ingratiation, he joined Cai Taishi's house and was made the magistrate by him. Since he took office, he has only exercised his power, embezzled and abused the people, and ruined his family.
Family injustice is painful.
Later, I heard that Liangshan acted for heaven and killed corrupt officials, so I was scared to restrain myself, for fear of attracting Liangshan soldiers and horses. But a few days ago, I heard that Liangshan soldiers and horses suddenly captured Qingzhou and Zizhou and ceded territory to the king, while Tai'an Prefecture
It was next to Zizhou. Now Zhizhou Wen knew that it was useless even if he was honest and loyal. Since Liangshan had rebelled, sooner or later they would come to attack him in Tai'an Prefecture.
Therefore, Wen Zhizhou ordered the regiment training envoys and troops in the city to be on guard day and night to prevent the Liangshan thieves from sneaking into the city and robbing the city. Even during the upcoming Lantern Festival, Wen Zhizhou also ordered to stop holding lantern festivals to prevent the Liangshan thieves from taking the opportunity to attack.
Tai'an Prefecture regiment training envoy Tie Fangliang, whose surname is Dongfang and whose name is unknown. He is as powerful as a tiger. Because he is good at using an iron square beam, he is elusive and invincible. People call him Tie Fangliang, but their names are hidden.
.
Tie Fangliang had already deployed spies at the border. As soon as Liangshan soldiers and horses entered the country, he got the news and mobilized the soldiers and horses in the city to prepare for war.
Wen Zhizhou was originally lucky, hoping that Liangshan would just pass through Tai'an Prefecture and return to Liangshan, or go to attack other states, but he heard that Liangshan's army was coming to Tai'an Prefecture and hurried to the top of the city.
Wen Zhizhou watched the black Liangshan soldiers and horses forming in the city, his legs were trembling, and he said to Tie Fangliang: "The Liangshan bandits are coming fiercely, and the lives of the people in the city are all on the general. General Wanwang will do his best to defend the city.
In the city, soon after Captain Gao's army arrives, the Liangshan grass bandits will hear the news and flee. Then I will ask for credit for the general."
Tie Fangliang looked at the soldiers and horses of Liangshan below the city, but he was eager to try, and said: "I think the soldiers and horses of Liangshan are probably no less than 20,000, and there are only 2,000 people in my city. If they insist on defending, it will only increase the momentum of the Liangshan bandits. The general will be incompetent."
, I would like to ride out of the city alone and kill a few leaders of the Liangshan bandits to strengthen the power of our army and also weaken the morale of the Liangshan bandits. I also ask for your permission."
Wen Zhizhou also felt that it was difficult to hold on. He did not expect that there were people who were not afraid of death. He patted Tie Fangliang on the shoulder and said: "General, be careful. If we can kill the Liangshan bandits, the first victory in this battle must belong to the general."
Chao Yong watched the city gate slowly open and was stunned as he rode out of the city alone. Could it be that he encountered a fierce general like Ji Anbang again.
Tie Fangliang reached a stone's throw in front of the Liangshan formation. He stopped his horse and shouted: "Liangshan grass bandits, how dare you invade our city? General Tie Fangliang is here, who will die?"
Suo Chao, the vanguard, was about to make a contribution, but he didn't reply and just grabbed the iron square beam.
Tie Fangliang was even more happy when he saw that Suo Chao was also a heavy weapon, so he immediately rode up to meet him.
When the two of them arrived, they had no moves at all, so the two weapons collided fiercely.
"Keng"
A loud noise suddenly sounded on the battlefield, and the soldiers in front of the Liangshan formation felt their eardrums hurt. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
