After listening to Li Zhu's urgent question, Xiao Tang pondered for a moment, then shook his head gently, and said to Li Zhu: "The Taoist priest recently came to surrender, regarding my original intention of gathering all the green forest heroes to rebel against the imperial court, and what is still going on."
There are some secrets and important events that are unknown. Although we have raised flags to recruit troops, stocked up on grain, and built up our momentum, this is not the best time to secede the city within the Song Dynasty and confront the imperial court like La in the south of the Yangtze River. Jeju
Zhang Shuye... now there is no need to carefully plan how to get rid of him, why I made such a plan, now that I live with the Taoist leader in the same village, I will understand everything and tell you clearly."
Li Zhu frowned slightly when he saw that. Although he was suspicious, he was a man who could bear his temper after all, so he immediately stopped asking questions. Then the leaders of various ministries came to give orders, except Fengtai and Liu who died in the battle under Song Jiang's command.
Min, Zheng Jie, Kou Meng, Gu Cen, Wang Daoren and other leaders, as well as Du Qian and Song Wan, who were captured by the rebel army, were also taken to the Chinese army camp, leaving Xiao Tang alone.
Xiao Tang stared at Du Qian and Song Wan, who were kneeling on the ground with a disgraceful face and said nothing. They knew in their hearts that the pair of Yunli King Kong and Touching Tian were just tall in stature.
He was the second and third person in Liangshan, but when Chao Gai and Song Jiang took charge of Shuibo Liangshan, every time someone came to vote for them, their status continued to decline. You can also imagine their abilities.
Normally, he is an old member of Wang Lun, a scholar in white, and he is not well-received in the village.
They began to hang out in Liangshan, Shuibo, until Chao Gai occupied Wang Lun's position as the leader of the village. Du Qian and Song Wan had no choice but to follow Chao Gai's rule. Later, they were unable to show their strength in Liangshan Village.
Lu Shui. Song Jiang strongly advocated accepting the imperial court's invitation, but the two of them had to follow the crowd. Their abilities were average and they had no opinions of their own. It can be said that the strengths of the two of them are that in the original work, Wang Lun was afraid of Lin Chong's reputation.
When they had to drive him down the mountain, Du Qian and Song Wan did not care about the face of the village leader. They tried their best to persuade Lin Chong to stay in person for the reason of repaying Chai Daguan and being considerate of Jianghu's loyalty. This shows that Du Qian and Song
Wan can be regarded as a person who repays his kindness and respects heroes based on his loyalty.
At this time, Du Qian, who had his arms tied behind his back, raised his head with difficulty, and looked at Xiao Tang, who was sitting at the head of the tent, with fear on his face. That was all in the past so many years ago...
.. At that time, Wang Lun was still an unqualified scholar, and he was planning to go to Cangzhou to defect to Chai Jin. Before the Chai official asked him to help him, he happened to meet Yijie, a soldier of the left-behind department of Daming Prefecture at that time.
, but Ren Xia Xiaotang, who has already become famous in the world.
Du Qian has been intimidated by Xiao Tang's name since the first meeting, and even today, he feels that the gap between them is as big as clouds and mud. Du Qian has never been willing to become an enemy of Xiao Tang, but this year's
The two leaders of Liangshan Village have been drifting with the tide for many years, but they never expected to end up in the situation they are in today. If someone like Xiao Tang wants to kill him, it is as easy as squeezing an insect to death, not to mention that they have indeed become enemies and want to be cut off.
He and Song Wan were not justified in sacrificing their heads to establish their authority.
Song Wan also had the same thoughts as Du Qian, and felt miserable in his heart, but the two of them did not immediately turn against Song Jiang to save their lives like Taoist Wang did. In their hearts, they cared about the loyalty of the world, and Du Qian and Song
Wan Zi knew that since he had indeed followed Song Jiang and accepted the imperial court's offer of peace, now that he was captured by Xiao Tang, he had no choice but to admit it if the other party wanted to kill him or cut him into pieces.
"Touching Tian and Yunli Jingang, although you two are not considered to be extravagant figures in the world, when Liangshanbo was founded, you and others were the first to set up Xiaoju and establish the foundation."
Just as Du Qian and Song Wan were waiting for death in silence, they heard Xiao Tang say loudly again: "Now Shuibo Liangshan is the most important base among the green forest mountains under my control, and it can be regarded as a support to some extent. I have some affection for you. And I, Lei Heng, Yang Xiong, Li Yun and other leaders have also been invited back to the stronghold for temporary settlement. You two might as well return to your hometown to stay for a while until our army has been defeated and the imperial court comes to calm down. After I have gathered the officers and soldiers of Dazhai, you can discuss your future options with me."
Hearing Xiao Tang's words, he was willing to spare their lives and not kill them. After Du Qian and Song Wan were slightly stunned, their faces suddenly showed surprise. Counting Xiao Tang and all the leaders under Song Jiang's command, Du Qian and Song Wan Song Wan and Song Wan were the two bandit leaders who had been entrenched in Liangshan for the longest time. Now they can be regarded as having exhausted their loyalty to Song Jiangren. They did not betray him until they were captured alive. Instead of continuing to be manipulated by the powerful traitors in the DPRK, they have experienced Despite the danger, there is still a chance to join Xiao Tang's army and return to his hometown in Liangshan. How can this not be an unexpected blessing?
"Xiao Renxia has a broad mind, repays kindness with kindness, and makes the villain admire him to the point of admiration! Such a great kindness, I have no choice but to hold the whip and stirrup for Xiao Renxia, and I am willing to serve as a soldier to repay him. It is really a blessing!"
Since it was Xiao Tang who spoke up, Du Qian and Song Wan no longer had any worries. Instead, they directly bowed to Xiao Tang and expressed their willingness to submit. After saying this, Xiao Tang also called the leader to come forward and replace Du Qian and Song Wan. He loosened the ropes that bound his body and taught them how to settle down in the stronghold.
Now it is estimated that there are only three to four thousand defeated soldiers and horses under Song Jiang's command. Although Zhang Shuye in Jezhou is threatening all the way, he does not pose any threat to Liangshan Dazhai, which is surrounded by water on all sides.
However, the commander of the remaining officers and soldiers was the one Xiao Tang wanted to get rid of most urgently during this war.
"Jeju Zhang Shuye, according to my opinion, he is definitely not a person who must be killed right now."
When the military discussion was being discussed in the Chinese army camp, Xiao Tang's eyes showed faint murderous intent. He then said: "That old thief Gao Qiu took advantage of our army's division of troops to guard Liangshan and Qingzhou in Shuibo, Jeju." Longshan, they used Song Jiang as a containment, trying to lead the troops from the capital and west of Beijing to attack our Erlongshan Dazhai first. But now Song Jiang's group of our troops have killed others, but brothers Xiao Jiasui and Lu Zhishen are enough. Containing the officers and soldiers under Gao Qiu's command, we are just waiting for our army to use the power of victory to defeat the soldiers and horses...
After passing the order, he ordered the horse and infantry troops to rest and reorganize briefly, and then rushed north to Qingzhou Erlongshan Dazhai. Bian Xiang, Lu Junyi, Shi Wengong, and Shi Xiu led their troops and horses to the rear to prepare for Zhang Shuye's attack in Jezhou after hearing the report. Send troops and horses to attack our rear formation... When we were in Bianliang, Tokyo, we had a grudge against the old thief Gao Qiu. He was already dominating the three divisions in front of the Bianjing Palace. It's been too long. Now that you come here, you must kill me quickly. It's time to settle any past grudges with Gao Qiu."
.............................
Since they intercepted and killed Liu Menglong's navy on the waterway, the various troops under Xiao Tang's command have won several battles with great momentum. Now they are marching north to fight a decisive battle with the large army led by Gao Qiu. , although Liangshanbo and Erlongshan are separated by several military prefectures such as Dongping Prefecture, Xiqing Prefecture, and Zizhou, the command and inspection departments under the rule have been frightened by the two mountains of Qingzhou and have even been eliminated. The weak officers and soldiers were afraid of the powerful invaders, so almost all of them had no choice but to huddle in the city.
As for Gao Qiu, they are not indifferent to the strong bandits who are very likely to come to the south for reinforcements. According to the plan proposed by the army staff Sun Jing, while besieging Erlongshan Dazhai, they can also use it as bait to attract Xiao
The troops and horses under the command of the Tang Dynasty sent reinforcements and mobilized officers and soldiers to set up ambushes on the road. However, when an enemy sentry approached, he suddenly killed them. Gao Qiu could also take advantage of the strong soldiers and horses to enter the stronghold without authorization, and there were no dangerous mountain passes to fight with.
When the lakes and water fortresses can be relied upon, they immediately turn their attack and inflict heavy losses on the bandit army in the field to seek total victory.
However, the plans made by Gao Qiu and Sun Jing were generally within the expectations of Xiao Tang, Xu Guanzhong and others.<
