Xiao Tang nodded solemnly and said: "Sanlang came just in time. We are discussing how to save Brother Yang Lin. You, 21, come and make a decision together."
When Shi Xiu saw that Yang Xu, Yan Qing, Shi Yong, Xue Yong and other managers under Xiao Tang were also there, he found a seat and hurriedly sat down. He said with a cold face: "Brother Yang Lin naturally wants to save, but Gaizhou
Those bird-men must also be exterminated!"
Yang Xu frowned and said, "In my opinion, I'll spend ten thousand guan to redeem brother Yang Lin first, and it won't be too late to worry about other matters later."
Shi Xiu snorted loudly and sneered: "Not only do we want to vent the evil in our hearts, but we also want to avenge our dead brothers. Manager Yang, if you tell me how to make money, I, Shi Xiu, will convince you, but things in the green forest
How much do you know? That thief Niu Wenzhong doesn't care about his reputation, he only cares about money. Seeing that we are so weak and easy to bully, don't you think he won't go after our Xiao family escort agency?
Moreover, our escort agency has been traveling in hb for more than two years without making any mistakes. If we swallow our anger and spend money to redeem people this time, what will happen to other strong men on the road if they see that we are weak and easy to bully and imitate us?
Do you want to redeem your brothers with money?"
Shi Yong, who has been friends with Yang Lin for the longest time, also angrily echoed: "Sanlang is right! What is the identity of the young master now? Who doesn't respect the recklessness of the HB and the two roads? What's more, the young master is also the envoy of the Ma Army of the Daming Palace's left-behind imperial army. What's more,
It’s the imperial-level military officer Hoichiro! Being tricked by a group of inexperienced grass bandits, wouldn’t this be a sign of trouble?”
Shi Xiu came back in a hurry and didn't know about Xiao Tang's appointment. After hearing this, he asked Xiao Tang: "Brother Xiao, has Liang Shijie finally promoted you?"
Seeing that Xiao Tang didn't say anything and just nodded in agreement, Shi Xiu thought about it and said, "Then it depends on whether Brother Xiao wants to do this privately or publicly."
Xiao Tang raised his eyebrows and asked: "What does Sanlang mean by what he said? What does it mean to be private? What does it mean to say it is public?"
Shi Xiu said in a deep voice: "It's private, so let's mobilize our hands now to plunder Niu Wenzhong's Bird Village! Since those Gaizhou bandits are all Luo Cao, and Brother Xiao is a general, who will kill them?"
If you find him, you will kill him, but after all, the thief is on the border of Gaizhou, and there is no need for some calculations at the Yamen of the state capital;
Now that it's official, I'll report this to Liang Shijie. Liang Shijie, who is short-handed with our money, asked him to send a piece of official document to Gaizhou, so that Brother Xiao could order all the soldiers and horses, and join forces with the Gaizhou officers and soldiers to suppress the group of birds.
Thief! It’s just that this method may take a while, because I’m afraid of long nights and many dreams.”
Xiao Tang nodded after hearing this, and said to himself that Shi Xiu was not only powerful in action, but also had an extreme and fierce temper. Not only did he already have an idea in just a few words, but he also wanted to fight the Gaizhou bandits who had offended his brothers.
The idea is to eradicate it.
Yang Xu was snatched away by Shi Xiu. Although he was slightly annoyed, he was still thinking about how to solve the matter. He didn't say much. He just muttered and said: "The imperial army is divided into different places to garrison. It is the defense force of the states.
How could he leave the prefecture without authorization from the Privy Council? What's more, if Niu Wenzhong was forced to jump over the wall and die together, wouldn't it cost the lives of brother Yang Lin?"
When Shi Xiu was about to continue talking, Yan Qing, who had been silent until now, thought about it and said, "But... the place where Brother Yang Lin was captured by Niu Wenzhong's men was not in Gaizhou."
Hearing what Yan Qing said, Xiao Tang had an idea in his mind. He stood up and said, "Brother Yang Xu, San Lang, and Xiao Yi are all right. In this case, we will make three preparations."
!Brother Yang Xu, if you propose another hundred thousand gu of property and let it out that our Xiaojiaji has a convoy to transport money and grain to Weizhou, if Niu Wenzhong gets wind of it, I don’t believe he won’t come to plunder! I
Inform Liang Zhongshu to dispatch a group of officers and soldiers to lurk around, just waiting to lure the Gaizhou bandits out of the cave and catch them all!
At the same time, Sanlang, Xiao Yi and I led Zhixiang bravely and sneaked to the vicinity of Niu Wenzhong's mountain stronghold. When Niu Wenzhong left the stronghold and went to Weizhou to rob the road, we went to the stronghold only to exchange for the Yang Lin brothers to pay the ransom.
Yes, take advantage of the dog thieves guarding the stronghold and take action suddenly, and use a two-pronged approach to pull out the bird stronghold. This will also make Brother Yang Lin safe!"
After hearing this, Shi Xiu, Yang Xu, Yan Qing and others all praised him. Xiao Tang, without saying a word, directly mounted his fast horse and drove towards the house of the left-behind Xianggong Liang Shijie.
Liang Shijie was surprised when he saw Xiao Tang arriving in such a hurry. Xiao Tang's escort was robbed in Weizhou, and the chief escort was held for ransom by thieves. After finishing the story one by one, he said: "The bandits are rampant, hb West Road Guards, Xiang
, Ci and other state capitals have been repeatedly plundered, and Niu Wenzhong of Gaizhou is greedy. If he is allowed to become powerful, let alone all the way to the east of the river, our hb roads will not be safe! I sincerely ask Mr. Zhongshu to allow me to have a team of troops to destroy them.
That group of grassroots bandits are here to protect the peace of our people."
"This..." Liang Shijie hesitated for a moment. The Song Dynasty Prefecture's campaign to suppress the grass bandits was all about sweeping away the snow. As long as the territory under their own jurisdiction was stable, who would go the extra mile to quell the bandits in neighboring states? This suppression of bandits was a success.
The ones who suffered the loss were also the men and horses under his command. The collection was not good, and he used the imperial troops to garrison various places without authorization. Wouldn't the responsibility of the imperial army fall on him in vain?
Besides, who gets the final credit for quelling banditry across states and roads? The Gaizhou prefect may not accept Liang Shijie's favor. Such was the power of Song Jiang in Water Margin that he caused a riot in Qingzhou Prefecture on Jingdong East Road.
, robbed the Jiangzhou law court on Jiangnan East Road, collected grain and plundered everywhere in Yunzhou Liangshan on Jingxi East Road, and attacked Daming Mansion on Hb East Road. At the beginning, the officials and soldiers of neighboring states stood by and watched, until it shocked the government and the public.
Mobilize the imperial troops of various states to suppress.
Liang Shijie also had such thoughts, but he also understood the reason why Xiao Tang angrily asked for troops to fight. He had just received him 200,000 yuan of money. After all, eating people has a short mouth and taking people with short hands, so it was not easy to defeat Xiao.
Tang's intention.
Xiao Tang had already known what Liang Shijie was thinking, so he went on to say: "Lord Zhongshu, this time the money of the escort agency has been robbed, I'm afraid that strong men from all walks of life will get wind of it, and they will inevitably not start business on the waterway again. 6
Lu's idea. The Gaizhou bandits have now invaded the boundary between our hb and the two roads. It will inevitably not be affected in the performance evaluation of Master Zhongshu. In addition, the official has made a plan to lure the Gaizhou bandits to Weizhou for encirclement and suppression. Master Zhongshu will report to the imperial court.
, then he said that bandits from neighboring states invaded the boundary of hb road, which is also a credit."
Since Daming Mansion was the most important military town north of the Yellow River at that time, Liang Shijie, as the left-behind prime minister of Daming Mansion, still had the power to mobilize the soldiers and horses of the remaining Imperial Guards of Daming Mansion to march on both sides of the river. After hearing what Xiao Tang said, he immediately made the decision
Said: "Okay! I will then allow you to form a battalion of troops from the two capitals (the infantry has five capitals as one battalion, and when the Song Dynasty was short of horses, the cavalry army also had an establishment of three capitals and one battalion), and you will be the commander of the battalion.
We will deploy two battalions of infantry to assist us in wiping out that group of bandits, but be careful not to be careless or make any mistakes!"
Xiao Tang immediately bowed his head and thanked him: "Thank you so much, Mr. Zhongshu, I will definitely live up to your appointment!"...
It was already nightfall, and the Imperial Guards of Daming Mansion were stationed in the barracks. Xiao Tang hurried to Ma Jun's tent and shouted loudly: "Suo! Where the hell are you!!??"
He ran out of the barracks in a hurry, stared at Xiao Tang, and said, "Why are you yelling? What do you want me to do!?"
"Don't you fucking want to fight and make meritorious service?" Xiao Tang pointed at Suo and said loudly: "Now your chance has come! I am ordering you to lead a battalion of cavalry and two battalions of infantry to jointly suppress the bandits. If You fought well, I guarantee you will be the deputy commander of this battalion of cavalry!"
Suo listened blankly to Xiao Tang's words. As soon as he came to his senses, joy seemed to explode on his face. He shouted repeatedly: "Brothers! Get the hell out of here! Go fight with me!!"... ....
In Daming Prefecture, one horse army camp and two infantry army camps were assembled, with a total of more than 1,300 soldiers and horses gathered. The Xiao family gathered 300 local warriors and Xiao Tang personally accompanied the 18 cavalrymen and they also marched towards Weizhou.
Xiao Tang ordered Xue Yong and Shi Yong to lead a group of men and horses pretending to be a caravan to lure Niu Wenzhong to plunder. Suo, Zhou Jin, Wang Ding and other generals of the horse army, as well as two battalion commanders, led the imperial army and waited for the mantis to catch the cicada. The oriole is behind...
Xiao Tang personally, together with Yan Qing, Shi Xiu and Xiao Yi, led their eighteen cavalrymen and some local warriors with some fist and foot skills, sneaked into Gaizhou first and hid in a village near Niu Wenzhong's village, waiting for Niu Wenzhong to lead a large group of troops to rob Dao, he went to the mountain stronghold and pulled out Niu Wenzhong's lair.
This Niu Wenzhong was in the Water Margin, but he was the guard of Song Jiang's first military state in the conquest of Tian Hu. If you talk about his skills, he was so scared when he saw Lu Zhishen and other infantry blocking the road. He was caught off guard and his head was beaten to pieces by a Zen staff. He was only three years old at the moment. There are four hundred bandits, and there will be three times as many officers and soldiers ambushing you. How can you escape?
Xiao Tang gritted his teeth and thought to himself: Niu Wenzhong, you have offended the wrong person this time!
