Let us say that when Wei Dingguo and Shan Tinggui led their men to Zengtou City, the villagers on the wall of the dock saw them displaying the banners of the Dezhou Army and Horse Regiment's training envoys Shenhuo General and Shengshui General, so they immediately went to the Zeng Mansion in the city to report.
, Zeng Nong, Shi Wengong, Zeng Tu and others heard that reinforcements from the Dezhou government had arrived, and they hurriedly came out to greet them.
On the west side of Zengtou City, waiting for Wei Dingguo and Shan Tinggui to enter the city, Zeng hurriedly stepped forward to beat the arch and said: "The thieves in Qingzhou are rampant. I, Zengtou City these days, have been in constant contact with the people of Erlong Mountain and Qingfeng Mountain."
The bandits are fighting each other, but it’s a pity that my two dogs were killed by those bandits! I frowned and beat my chest. As long as I capture the heads of the two bandits and be dismissed from office, I can avenge my poor sons. I’m lucky to have two today.
Generals have come to our city to rescue us. The weather is pitiful, just like drought seedlings receiving rain, there is no boat that can cross the river. When those gangs of thieves are eliminated, I will be very grateful to these two generals!"
When a strong enemy came to attack but was unable to do anything, Zeng Nong and Shan Tinggui, the two imperial officers who led the army to support, were naturally very polite. However, Wei Dingguo glared at Zeng Nong and sneered, and then refused.
After paying attention to him again, Shan Tinggui gave Zeng Nong a careless hand with an expressionless expression, obviously he disliked Zeng Nong, the mayor of Zengtou City.
When Zeng Tu saw Wei Dingguo, Shan Tinggui couldn't help being furious at his father's rudeness. He rode forward, squinting at the two generals, Shuihuo, and said in a cold voice: "It's the commander of Dezhou, Si Xing, who has sent a letter to transfer you two to me."
Zengtou City came to guard and drive away the gang of bandits from Qingzhou. Since those two mountains dared to invade Dezhou territory, if you two fail to suppress them effectively and allow the thieves to spread, I am afraid that when the governor of Dezhou comes to investigate,
You two can’t afford it!”
After hearing this, Wei Dingguo immediately became angry. He raised his thick eyebrows, pointed at Zeng Tu and cursed: "Zu Niao! I'm sorry that you are just a playboy from a local wealthy family, but you dare to threaten me!? You used to be in Zengtou Market."
This group is very arrogant, but if you are really extravagant heroes, how could you be frightened by the strong men from Qingzhou and have to flatter the government to send me and others to lead the army to help?"
Zeng Tu and Wei Dingguo became more and more stalemate as they talked, each wanting to draw out their weapons to fight. Shan Tinggui immediately persuaded Wei Dingguo, and Shi Wengong stopped Zeng Tu and shouted to stop him.
Then he turned around and said in a cold voice: "Several young masters of the Zeng family fought with the bandits to protect the peace of one side, but the eldest young master's two brothers were killed by the gang of thieves. They have been grieving and indignant, so their words were a bit reckless.
, I hope the two generals will forgive me.
It's just that...the invading group of strongmen are not idlers. Since the two generals were ordered to come to our aid in Zengtou City, they will not act sloppily, causing thieves to run rampant in our state of Texas. If they can fight
Isn't it a great achievement for the two generals to drive back this group of powerful thieves who spread across several states?"
Shan Tinggui also turned around and replied coldly to Shi Wengong: "It is the duty of us two brothers to guard the village of this state and arrest the thieves. I don't need to go into details about how to lead the army to defend against the enemy.
We have our own sense of proportion.”
"That's good." Shi Wengong said with a smile, but he couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart. When Wei Dingguo and Shan Tinggui arrived, the two generals who led the troops to help Zengtou City were prejudiced against Zengtou City.
Secondly, although I heard that these two people are good at using fire to attack water, and they are also well-known imperial officers and generals in Hebei, can they really solve the urgent need of Zengtou City with just the two of them?
?......
At the Green Forest Camp in the Two Mountains, there were also patrol sentries reporting to Xiao Tang that Wei Dingguo and Shan Tinggui, commander of the Dezhou Command, had arrived at Zengtou City with their troops.
When Xiao Tang was discussing countermeasures with the leaders under his command, Hua Rong frowned and said first: "Brother, Wei Tuan Lian, single group training is no different from ordinary green forest thieves who abuse generals. After all, they and Suo Tiha are the same
The comrades who fought with us on the expedition, not to mention these days, they thought that their brother had died outside the Liao Pass, and they also took care of the Xiao family. This time we will meet the soldiers of the past, although we must not
With all my kindness as a woman, is it possible that I really want to fight to the death with the two of them?"
The confidants present also knew that Xiao Tang, Hua Rongdu, and Wei Dingguo and Shan Tinggui, who came to rescue this time, met during the crusade against Zhang Di in Hebei Province. Since they were all comrades who had fought together, their feelings for each other were also very good.
It was unusual, so he didn't rush to ask for orders to fight for a while. After a while, Shi Xiu suddenly said: "Brother, if we want to recruit the two of them to join the gang, how sure can we be?"
Xiao Tang smiled faintly. He thought to himself that in terms of combat capabilities, although Wei Dingguo and Shan Tinggui were ranked among Liang Shanbo's Disha generals in the original work, they should not be underestimated. In fact, after the Liangshan group broke through Gaotang Prefecture,
The first time they were provoked, the imperial court ordered Hu Yanzhuo to send troops to conquer. Later, they went to Huazhou in Liangshan, and when they were attacking Daming Mansion, they sent Dadao Guansheng to attack Liangshanbo Dazhai in a strategy of surrounding Wei and rescuing Zhao.
And when the Liangshan Army finally defeated Daming Mansion and recruited Guan Sheng and other officers and generals to submit, the imperial court issued an order for the third time to dispatch, and even the Forbidden Army general who was recommended by Cai Jing to conquer Liangshan was none other than Wei Dingguo.
Tinggui and the others, after Hu Yanzhuo and Guan Sheng, the five tiger generals of the Liangshan Horse Army, were defeated by Liangshan one after another, and were surrendered by Song Jiang, the imperial court would still appoint them, the two generals of water and fire, as commanders, and only lead the people from their own state to attack Liangshan.
, this is enough to show that the reputations of Wei Dingguo and Shan Tinggui were not limited to the vicinity of Dezhou, Hebei. Even the Bianjing court knew that General Shenhuo and Shengshui, who served in the Hebei Route Army Division, were good generals who were good at commanding troops in combat.
In terms of actual results, Wei Dingguo and Shan Tinggui fought for the first time with Guan Sheng's soldiers and horses who had newly joined Songjiang, and captured Xuanzan and Hao Siwen. They also killed Guan Sheng at a loss and suffered a huge defeat. Later, Guan Sheng was defeated.
After using single combat skills to capture Shan Tinggui alive and persuade him to surrender, Wei Dingguo was still able to lead 500 fire soldiers to burn Guan Sheng's army and scattered them in all directions until they had retreated for more than 40 miles before they were able to secure...
It may be a fluke to win only once, but Guan Sheng, the leader of the five tigers of the Liangshan Horse Army, was defeated twice in succession. This is enough to show that Wei Dingguo and Shan Tinggui are good at attacking with fire and soaked in water, so they are praised as sacred fire and holy water.
The second general is definitely not in vain.
As for the possibility of bringing the two of them together to unite for righteousness, according to the original trajectory of Wei Dingguo, the reason why Shan Tinggui surrendered to Liangshan is also a little different from other generals who surrendered.
The reason why other Liangshan generals who were originally officials in the imperial court chose to stay in Liangshan was almost all because Song Jiang "personally released his bonds and comforted him with kind words". The generals such as Guan Sheng and Hu Yanzhuo were grateful for Song Jiang's "deep loyalty and deep loyalty."
"Because the stars are in harmony", they became the top leaders in Liangshan. Wei Dingguo and Shan Tinggui had rarely visited the Songjiang River before returning to Liangshan. The reason why they were willing to gather together in Liangshan was largely because of their close relationship with each other.
The reason for victory.
In the past, when they were on official business, Wei Dingguo, Shan Tinggui and Guan Sheng had met many times in Pucheng, and they had become friends with each other. Through their interactions at that time and the characterization in the original work, Xiao Tang knew that although Shan Tinggui had a more serious temperament,
Be cautious, but if you can capture him alive and express your love for him, in fact, his resistance to Luocao is not very deep...
Wei Dingguo had a strong temperament and would rather die than be humiliated. However, Guan Sheng agreed to Wei Dingguo's request and went alone to persuade him at the risk of being trapped in the enemy camp.
Liangshan Bo. In fact, the decisive factor in being able to recruit Wei Dingguo and Shan Tinggui to surrender was Guan Sheng's friendship with them, and the way he showed his sincerity to Wei Dingguo and Shan Tinggui...
But we were all comrades-in-arms who fought and fought together back then. The emotional relationship between me, Xiao Tang, and you should be much deeper than that of Guan Sheng, right?
Xiao Tang gradually had an idea in his mind. He smiled slightly and said to the brothers present: "I have a rough idea on how to deal with Wei Dingguo and Shan Tinggui. But since we are old friends of Paoze, we still have to fight on the battlefield after all.
Seeing the outcome, remembering the friendship in the past, our army will stay away for the time being and wait for the two of them to catch up."
