Four hundred and twentieth chapters familiar messenger
With the arrival of the fourth year of Xuanhe, the situation in the world has changed dramatically...
The Liao Kingdom was really about to end. The dignified Emperor of the Liao Kingdom was actually forced by the Jin Kingdom to eat sand in the desert, and completely lost contact with the major towns.
Then, the entire Liao Kingdom was in an uproar, and royal family members came forward to stand on their own in all major towns. Several regimes that did not recognize each other suddenly appeared, and it became a mess.
At this time, it is definitely the perfect opportunity for Da Zing to regain the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun.
The current officials were not polite at all, and directly transferred the main force of the Western Army to conquer the La rebels in the south of the Yangtze River, and started the final preparations for the expedition to Liao.
Tong Guan had no choice but to "bear the pain" and leave the flower world in the south of the Yangtze River. He led the main force of the Western Army to the Bianliang area with heavy losses, preparing to unite with the Bianliang Forbidden Army to regain the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun.
Ahem, Dadi has secretly made an alliance with the Jin Kingdom to jointly attack the Liao Kingdom.
At present, the Jin Kingdom is in great power and is almost reaching the border of Liao Kingdom near Dazang. If troops are not sent out in time, the Sixteen States of Yanyun may fall into the hands of someone.
The Jin State's offensive was so majestic that it almost destroyed the Liao State. How could it be said that the cowardly monarchs and ministers had no fear in their hearts?
If the Jin Kingdom were to take the lead in conquering the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Therefore, no matter what Tong Guan thought, no matter how unwilling the soldiers of the Western Army were, they could only stop their troops outside Qiantang City and turn around and leave.
Yes, different from normal history, and different from the original work of Water Margin, Qiantang City occupied by the Fang La tribe was not captured by the official army.
Of course, given the current situation, it is only temporary.
The Fang La tribe rebels simply cannot withstand the rapid offensive of the Liangshan army. Qiantang, the core area of Jiangnan, will be defeated sooner or later.
At that time, the vast amounts of money gathered by countless wealthy families and wealthy merchants in the Jiangnan area will be at the mercy of the government and the army.
There will also be grain, grass, ordnance, gold, silver, jewelry, and a large amount of copper coins that Fangla's rebels confiscated as spoils of war.
What's more, the great power of counterinsurgency can be obtained at your fingertips, which is simply not wonderful.
As a result, a transfer order from the imperial court almost caused the main force of the Western Army outside the city of Qiantang to mutiny. They finally calmed down and reluctantly left, leaving a piece of fat meat like Qiantang to the Liangshan army.
In order to appease the dissatisfaction of Tong Guan and the soldiers of the Western Army, Song Jiang ignored Lu Zhishen's strong dissatisfaction and forcibly transferred half of the supplies from the rear camp and gave them to Tong Guan and the soldiers of the Western Army who left.
As for whether it has any effect, no one knows.
…
Although Chai Daguan, who was stationed in the main village of Liangshan, knew what happened on the Jiangnan front line, they didn't pay much attention to it.
At this time, the entire Liangshan village, as well as the villages attached to it, had a bumper harvest in the third year of Xuanhe, and the grain output was greatly increased. The income from other workshops, shops, agriculture, forestry, fishery, animal husbandry, etc. had an astonishing amount.
improve.
There is a joyous atmosphere in the entire area controlled by the village. The people are concerned about the harvest and income, the performance of their children in school, and all the changes in the village. As for the situation outside, they don't care at all.
If it weren't for the fact that the village used blackboard newspapers in the school to communicate important events happening in the outside world from time to time, and then passed them back to their homes through the students, then the people who depended on the village would have a little understanding of the situation outside. I'm afraid Song Jiang would
The great leader of Liangshan will be completely forgotten.
No way, in addition to the huge increase in income, the village also convened a group of villages to hold a variety of colorful entertainment activities, including the most popular Cuju and sumo wrestling of this era, as well as other competitive or educational activities.
, firmly attracting the minds of the people, the Liangshan army's war in Jiangnan is really not worthy of attention.
In this regard, Chai Daguan had no intention of giving guidance and just let nature take its course. He had no intention of freeing Yang's name for Song Jiang.
…
On this day, the official of Chai Daguan, who was in charge of the village, suddenly received a message from Zhu Gui, the chief guest receptionist, saying that distinguished guests from Bianliang City had arrived and wanted to see the official.
Bianliang City? Noble person?
After receiving the message, Officer Chai couldn't help but chuckle and said to the officer who sent the message: "Go and tell Chief Zhu that I am not interested in meeting any distinguished guests!"
Is Zhu Gui out of his mind?
It doesn’t matter if you’re from Bianliang, you’re welcome if you don’t tell me your name and identity.
What a bullshit distinguished guest. Even if Emperor Daojun comes, don't expect him to pay much attention to it. At this time, Liangshan Village has such confidence.
A Jiangnan La can make the main force of the elite Western Army helpless. The combat power of our village is definitely higher than that of Fang La. This is our confidence.
In other words, Chai Daguan didn't have much thought to take the initiative to target Da Cang, otherwise Da Cang would have changed hands by now.
As long as there are ten strong men with starlight-tempered bodies in Liangshan, they will be able to run rampant in the world and beat the cowardly officers and soldiers until they cry like ghosts and howls like wolves and completely collapse.
Even the so-called elite Western Army is so useless, how much combat effectiveness do you expect the weak army to have?
These are not troubled times. Although the ruling foundation of the Da Ting court has been completely shaken, it has not yet reached the point where everyone is pushing back the wall.
Taking the initiative to provoke war is likely to cause great causal entanglement with the Water Margin world.
In this world where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is relatively active and can use some magical powers, who knows what serious consequences will occur?
The first three floors of Chai Daguan's Fortune Pagoda in the Sea of Human Consciousness have been filled with luck, and the fourth floor is slowly being filled. He doesn't want any unexpected situation to affect the absorption of luck.
Besides, the idea of 108 Tiangang Disha Star Observation, which he has already completed, is the best gain he gained from coming to the Water Margin world.
If he hadn't wanted to continue his cultivation and improvement with the help of the Liangshan hero's destiny, he would have taken the initiative to return to the main world at this time.
It would be best if he could become the Lord of the Central Plains, but he does not want to take the initiative to disrupt the order of the world, and there is no reason to be polite if the world is in chaos.
Therefore, even if Chai Daguan is sitting idle in his hometown in Liangshan, he is quietly accumulating strength while waiting for the opportunity for chaos in the world.
It's a bit hypocritical, but it's also the approach that best suits his own interests...
On the other side, at the hotel welcoming guests by the waterfront, Zhu Gui received a message from the messenger soldier and felt awkward for a moment.
He didn't expect that the officials of Chai Daguan were so trusting that they didn't even care about the distinguished guests from Bianliang. Wouldn't this create enemies for the village?
"Why, the official doesn't want to meet Wen?"
Sitting next to him, the distinguished-looking young and middle-aged man smiled and said, "How about telling the high official about Wen's intention? Maybe the high official will have other ideas?"
"That's fine!"
Zhu Gui nodded awkwardly, then called the waiter in the store, and gave him various instructions before passing through the hidden waterway behind the hotel and taking a speedboat to the village.
At this time, he also came to his senses and secretly said that he was confused.
What he considers to be a distinguished guest may not be what Chai Daguan thinks.
Fortunately, Mr. Wen from Bianliang didn't mean to blame him. Instead, he asked him questions, and he was obviously very curious about the surrounding environment.
Zhu Gui secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He had a better impression of the middle-aged Confucian scholar in front of him, so he answered almost every question he had.
"It's just that more than a year has passed, and things have changed a lot near Shuibo!"
"This is natural. The rural transformation plan led by senior officials has produced results. At least the surrounding villages are almost completely transformed!"
"Oh, it seems that Wen has missed a lot of wonderful things. Can you tell us about this rural transformation plan and how it will be transformed?"
"Haha, this is not a secret matter. Since sir wants to hear it, I will naturally say whatever I want!"
"That's good. To be honest, Wen was a little surprised when he saw the brand-new village nearby and the noisy and lively environment!"
"Haha, even Mr. Wen was surprised. Apparently the rural transformation plan led by senior officials should be considered a success!"
Zhu Gui's face was flushed, and he looked proud. He slowly described the actions of the high officials, the actions of the village, and the changes in nearby villages. He spoke in a relaxed tone, which occasionally caused the middle-aged Confucian scholars to express surprise.
.
At noon, Mr. Wen, accompanied by Zhu Gui, had a meal with Liangshan characteristics and praised it repeatedly.
By the time the waiter who had returned to the village to deliver a message came back, it was already afternoon.
"Chief, the high official asked me to take Mr. Wen to our village!"
"Isn't there any leader coming to greet you?"
Zhu Gui's brows jumped and he said with a somewhat dissatisfied tone: "Don't you have any other orders from the high official?"
"No!"
The waiter answered simply and neatly, shaking his head and saying: "The official has no other orders!"
"It doesn't matter, Mr. Wen is indeed nothing. It's normal for senior officials not to care!"
The middle-aged Confucian scholar surnamed Wen smiled and said: "Brother Zhu Gui, there is no need to do this. Wen will follow the little brother to our village right now!"
"Well go, sir!"
Zhu Gui was helpless. He felt that the high officials were too trusting. After all, Mr. Wen was also a representative of the top dignitaries in Bianliang. No matter how much he valued him, at least he could not be easily offended.
He was used to welcoming people and sending them off, and since Liangshan had already accepted the recruitment, he subconsciously regarded himself as an official presence, so he felt that Chai Daguan was not doing things properly.
How could Zhu Gui know what Chai Daguan was thinking?
He still judged the importance of the visitor based on his experience and habits. He had no idea that Chai Daguan was not very fond of meeting the top dignitaries of Bianliang.
No matter what, he still agreed to meet Mr. Wen...
When Mr. Wen set foot on the land of Liangshan Village, he was also shocked by the huge changes in the village. This place is a pure military camp.
When meeting Mr. Chai Daguan, Mr. Wen said bluntly: "Looking at the layout of Liangshan Village, its strength is quite amazing!"
Official Chai was noncommittal and his tone was not so friendly. He sarcastically said: "When you helped Liangshan and Bianliang communicate about recruitment, you took the opportunity to leave and never come back. How come you are now Tong Guan's retainer?"
The middle-aged Confucian scholar surnamed Wen was Wen Huanzhang who was captured when he followed Gao Qiu in the conquest of Liangshan. The original Water Margin boasted of being a man of extraordinary talent.
This guy is also very adaptable. When he was captured, he was very obedient and very capable in making suggestions for Liangshan. But when the opportunity came, he immediately ran away without any regrets...
