Su Mingzhe stayed in the backyard every day, constantly cultivating Sanlian's skills in playing, playing and singing, and his life was very happy.
Old Man Jin was also assigned a position - the leader of the troupe.
This troupe needs to perform for the village soldiers every five days, so that the soldiers who have been training all day can relax a little.
On this day, the Juyi Hall held a meeting.
Zhu Gui reported that He Tao, the arresting envoy from Jezhou, threatened to lead an army of two thousand, but actually it was eight hundred, to come and destroy Liangshan.
When the other leaders heard that the imperial court sent troops to encircle and suppress them, they all looked pale and frightened.
You must know that before this, they were a group of landless and displaced refugees, and they had a natural awe and fear of the government.
Only Qiao Lie smiled calmly:
"With only 800 soldiers and horses, Pindao can kill them all with just a small spell!"
"Since the military advisor has made a plan, let the military advisor handle this matter!"
Su Mingzhe didn't care about the eight hundred soldiers. He yawned and wanted to end the discussion.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Gui reported again:
"Your Majesty, the brother who was sent to Bianliang has returned. Lin Chong, the 800,000-strong gun and stick instructor of the Forbidden Army, has indeed been framed and sent to Cangzhou!"
After hearing this, Su Mingzhe showed a trace of regret on his face and sighed:
"It's not what I expected. As the saying goes, when a country is about to perish, evildoers will be born! The four treacherous ministers Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Yang Jian, and Gao Qi gathered together and continued to harm loyal ministers and good generals. The foundation of the Northern Song Dynasty was completely rotted by them. !”
Qiao Lie didn't know what he was thinking of. He raised his eyebrows and said happily:
"My lord, Lin Chong was originally a pillar of the country, but he was framed by treacherous ministers who manipulated his power, and ended up as a traitor to Junzhou. Why don't we invite him to come to our Liangshan to gather for justice? What do you think?"
"That's exactly what I meant!"
Su Mingzhe nodded and said:
"Before, I heard that Lin Chong's wife Zhang Zhenniang was molested by Gao Yanei, the son of the traitor Gao Qiu. Lin Chong listened to the advice of others and chose to settle the matter! At that time, I guessed that Lin Chong would be framed by Gao Qiu. Now, the prediction It really came true!”
"This matter is not urgent. We will deal with the Jeju officers and soldiers first, and then we will argue!"
Qiao Lie and Su Mingzhe began to discuss how to deal with Jeju officers and soldiers.
The reason why He Tao claimed to have 2,000 officers and soldiers, but only brought 800 people, was because he had no choice but to do so.
To be honest, the quality and combat effectiveness of local officers and soldiers at this time were extremely poor.
Excluding the old, weak, sick and disabled, as well as the situation of empty pay, He Tao can bring 800 people, which is already a top standard.
Qiao Lie just knew the foundation of the government, so he didn't take them seriously at all.
At this time, Su Mingzhe made a request: he must try his best to capture the opponent alive without any casualties.
After all, there are now only over 800 people in Diliang Shanshuibo and their families, and they have unimaginably demanding requirements on labor and soldiers.
"If you don't want casualties, then you have to outsmart me. What my lord said is exactly what I want!"
Turn around.
Eight hundred officers and soldiers from Jeju rushed to Yangshanshuibo. Looking at the vast expanse of Yangshanshuibo, they all looked at each other and did not dare to speak.
It turns out that He Tao just heard that more than a hundred bandits robbed the birthday card.
And those bandits were hiding in the water in Liangshan Mountain.
He Tao believed that with his 800 troops, he would be able to capture the more than 100 bandits.
As a result, when we arrived at the boundary, we realized how big the water in Liangshan Mountain was.
It’s no wonder that He Tao is short-sighted.
In fact, this is the limitation of the times.
In ancient times, ordinary people may live in an area of dozens of squares throughout their lives.
A knowledgeable official like He Tao can only operate within his own jurisdiction.
As for Yangshan Water Village, it is not under the jurisdiction of Jeju Prefecture, but in the middle area between Jeju Prefecture and Dongpyeong Prefecture.
For He Tao, Liang Shan Shui Bo is really too remote. It is just a corner. He has never been there in his life, so naturally he cannot imagine what the Eight Hundred Liang Shan Shui Bo is like.
Seeing that the general He Tao had no plan, the deputy general came up with an idea and said:
"Sir, this Liangshan River is so vast. We are not familiar with the place, so we should find some locals to lead the way!"
He Tao could only nod and said:
"That's right, Jiang San, you lead a group of brothers to go south, look for local villages, call them to protect the people, and let them lead the way! Wu Liu, you take a group of brothers to check around to see if there are any fishermen."
"We can't attack Liangshanshuibo without boats!"
This time, in order to fulfill Grand Master Cai Jingjun's decree, He Tao directly brought 200 elite cavalrymen from Jeju, plus 300 soldiers.
With such sufficient preparations, He Tao could not allow the situation of 'returning without success' to happen no matter what.
Unbeknownst to He Tao, every move of the Jeju Army was watched by the scouts in Liang Shanshuibo.
Qiao Lie was originally prepared to use his "magical power" to capture all the eight hundred soldiers.
Until he saw that He Tao and others were actually collecting small boats from nearby villages, intending to use them to attack Liangshan Water Village, he couldn't help but burst into laughter:
"He Tao's son actually played with a machete in front of the gate. Isn't this asking for death?"
Seeing He Tao bring the Jeju soldiers to his lips, Qiao Lie didn't bother to use his top-secret magical powers.
Just wait for the night.
He Tao and others were still full of confidence and wanted to attack Liangshan Water Village at night.
Unexpectedly, Qiao Lie had already prepared a "drag and earth net", and when they arrived near Liangshan Water Village, he used fishing nets to capture them all alive.
When the village leaders saw how vulnerable the Jeju soldiers were, their original fear of the government disappeared in an instant.
However, Qiao Lie remained vigilant. He came to Juyi Hall, saw the leader of the village, and asked:
"Lord, He Tao has been captured alive. Do we want to persuade him to surrender?"
"No need, if an idiot like He Tao comes to Liangshan, he will probably ruin our Liangshan culture!"
Su Mingzhe didn't like He Tao at all:
"However, those 800 Jeju soldiers and 200 troops and horses were all brought to the mountain! In addition, find someone to inform the governor of Jeju Prefecture and ask him to bring money to redeem the people!"
"Redemption?"
Qiao Lie was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help but applaud:
"They should indeed be allowed to redeem people!"
He Tao initially claimed that he had two thousand soldiers and horses to attack Liang Shanshuibo, but now they were all captured alive.
In any case, Liangshan's reputation has definitely been established.
At this time, we should take the opportunity to get some benefits and strengthen Liang Shanshuibo's strength.
For example, ask for some war horses.
The Song Dynasty was short of horses.
The price of a good horse in the Bianzhou army is around 50 guan.
As Jeju is inland, the price of a good military horse is more than double, almost around 150 guan.
He Tao brought 200 cavalry, which was equivalent to giving 30,000 guan of wealth to Liangshan.
In addition, there were three hundred soldiers.
The official price of the equipment worn by these soldiers is 60 pieces.
If you want to buy it on the black market, you will need eighty guan for a few.
This is another more than 20,000 strings.
If the governor of Jeju is willing to spend money to redeem people, then these 800 soldiers, plus generals like He Tao, can be sold for at least 40,000 to 50,000 guan.
In one fell swoop, He Tao gave Liangshan nearly 100,000 yuan of wealth.
Su Mingzhe couldn't bear it for a moment, so he opened his mouth and ordered:
"He Tao, just give him a private room and lock him up. Don't humiliate and abuse him..."
