Chapter 21 The gutless stuff deserves to be chopped up!
"Brother Huang Shang, is Lin Nuo really that awesome? Even that bastard Gao Qiu, who is not afraid of anything, is so afraid of him?"
One hundred thousand troops marched towards the border of Shandong. On the way, Tong Guan asked in a low voice.
When Lin Nuo made a big fuss in Tokyo, Tong Guan was leading the troops outside, but he didn't see the enemy killing everyone.
Moreover, in the past few years, both the people and the officials in the capital have kept secret about Lin Nuo. Therefore, Tong Guan only knew that Lin Nuo was powerful, but he really couldn't guess how powerful he was.
Huang Shang frowned, and then said with a serious look: "My Lord Privy Council, I am not lying. If the one hundred thousand troops under your command were arranged in advance, tens of thousands of crossbowmen would be ready to shoot, and the arrows would rain non-stop.
Covering it may be able to block Lin Nuo's charge!"
Tong Guan was shaken and asked incredulously: "Brother Huang Shang, what do you mean, if there is no preparation in advance, then Lin Nuo dares to break into our Chinese army camp alone?"
Huang Shang smiled and shook his head, "Instead of charging into your central army camp, he can kill a hundred thousand troops from the beginning to the end by him, and take the heads of the enemy generals from the ten thousand troops. For him,
, it’s not difficult!”
Tong Guan didn't believe it, "Brother, are you kidding me? You are also an innate strong man. Do you think you have the ability to kill my 100,000-strong army?"
"Of course I can't do it. Surrounded by a hundred thousand troops, I estimate that if I kill more than ten thousand people, my true energy will be exhausted, and I can only be captured!" Huang Shang smiled and shook his head, "But Lin Nuo, he
There is something different. This person's internal energy recovers very quickly. If we want to fight a war of attrition with him, an army of 100,000 will probably not be able to consume him alone. This person was born for the battlefield!"
Tong Guan's face suddenly turned uglier. He suddenly felt that he had been cheated. This task was simply a hot potato!
If Liang Shanbo is destroyed this time, so what. As long as Lin Nuo doesn't die, he will have a deadly feud with him. If the other party goes to Tokyo City to seek revenge from Tong Guan, who can stop him?
Of course, the officials are not afraid. There are more than one innate strong people guarding him in the palace, but as for Tong Guan, who can protect him from death?
"Don't worry, Mr. Privy Council. There are still some differences between battlefield martial arts and personal martial arts. If Lin Nuo had no restrictions on the battlefield, he would be an invincible general, but he would not have any advantage when facing off against masters of the same level.
At least I can contain him by myself!"
"Ms. Tong, there are some things that are inconvenient for officials to say in court, so I will tell them privately on behalf of the officials!"
"What the officials want, Mr. Tong doesn't need to pay attention to Lin Nuo. He only needs to conquer Liangshan together and capture all the leaders of Liangshan, especially Lin Nuo's eldest brother Lin Chong and his family. They must be captured alive!"
"What the officials mean..." Tong Guan vaguely understood what the emperor meant.
"The officials want to use Lin Chong and others to force Lin Nuo to accept recruitment and stop him from thinking of turning into a bandit! For this reason, the officials even prepared a title of marquis for him!"
"The officials are already so afraid of Lin Nuo?" Tong Guan sighed with envy. Although his official position was almost at the top, he still didn't have any title, and this Lin Nuo was just falling into the grass.
Being a bandit leads to such treatment by the officials. This is really comparing people to each other, which is very annoying!
"There is no way. You can't be on guard against a person who is almost unkillable every day, right? Since you can't kill him, you can only find a way to make him one of your own!"
Even so, Huang Shang actually had a good impression of Lin Nuo in her heart.
There was no way. Although the officials valued Huang Shang in the past, they only regarded him as a high-level thug. His status as an innate master was actually not high in the court.
But since Lin Nuo went on a killing spree in Tokyo and made such a scene, the official family suddenly felt like their lives could be taken away at any time. That ever-present sense of crisis made Huang Shang, a congenital master, rise rapidly in status.
Even Tong Guan, the privy minister, would call him "old brother" with a kind face when he saw him.
Huang Shang is getting older and doesn't care too much about power anymore, but he doesn't care, which doesn't mean that his family, children and grandchildren don't care either. As people get older, they always unconsciously want to find a good future for future generations.
As for recruiting Lin Nuo, if the matter is successful, the position of the Huang family in the Song Dynasty empire will be stable in the future. It is impossible to say that the Huang family will also be awarded a title by the officials!
Along the way, Huang Shang was worried about the future generations of the family, while Tong Guan was worried about how to complete the official mission without offending Lin Nuo. In deep thought, the two finally came to Shandong.
Jeju territory.
...
Let's say that after Tong Guan's army rested at the border of Jeju for a day, the next morning, all 100,000 troops marched towards the border of Yangshan Boji.
After traveling less than twenty miles, at the end of the plain, at the entrance to a mountain forest, a burly man holding two giant axes, followed by hundreds of infantrymen, was arranging a formation in a chaotic manner, facing Tong Guan's army.
Looking at each other from a distance.
"Damn you straight bitch, your Grandpa Li Kui is here. If you have the guts, come over!"
Tong Guan was unmoved and looked at this scene coldly without any expression.
"Hey, I heard that the grand marshal leading the army this time is a eunuch. He is indeed a piece of eggless stuff. He didn't even react when being scolded by your grandfather. He deserves to be cut into pieces!"
Li Kui continued to laugh provocatively. Behind him, many people unbuttoned their belts and pointed in the direction of Tong Guan, revealing the black thing, laughing and letting off steam.
Tong Guan's face was ashen, but he did not lose his mind. Instead, he raised his hand and made a move. Thousands of crossbowmen came forward, bent their bows and nocked arrows one by one, and started shooting.
When Li Kui and the others saw this, they scolded them for being a traitor and did not dare to stay where they were. They all scattered into the forest in a blink of an eye, causing all the arrows to fail.
"Generals, listen to the order and set up camp here and wait for the Liangshan bandits to come and fight us for a decisive battle!" Tong Guan gave the order directly.
The plains here stretch for dozens of miles, and one-third of Tong Guan's army are cavalry. This kind of place is perfect for a decisive battle.
"Ms. Tong, those Liangshan bandits may not be willing to fight us head-on, right?" Da Dao Guan Sheng, holding a Qinglong Yanyue Sword, asked with a frown.
"It doesn't matter, before coming here, I have ordered all the state governments in Shandong to send troops to block the grain roads around Liangshanbo. Unless the Liangshan bandits are willing to be surrounded to death, they will have to come out and fight us sooner or later!"
Here, Tong Guan's hundred thousand troops have set up military formations under the command of various generals. On the other side, more than ten miles away, at the top of a mountain several hundred meters high, Lin Nuo, Zhu Wu and others are watching from a distance.
Follow the enemy's movements.
"To be honest, what I hate the most is this kind of enemy who attacks steadily without giving him any chance. He can only fight head-on. It's almost impossible to take advantage of the situation!" Next to Lin Nuo, Zhu Wu sighed, his expression full of displeasure.
