Infinite Brilliant Scroll

Chapter 252 The starry night is brilliant, and the troops cross the river

Boundary River, Frontier Army.

The starry night was bright, and the sound of the waves was endless. Han Shizhong looked at the river from a distance, with his hands behind his back, holding a scroll of imperial decree that had just been delivered.

Beside him, a trusted soldier was telling him the news he had inquired from the Song Dynasty.

"The [-] troops led by Chen Daozi were wiped out on Liangshanshuibo. He led the army too deep. After the commander died, the generals at all levels were captured again. The mist of eight hundred miles made it impossible for those soldiers to escape. "

"Of the twenty large warships, one or two were damaged, and the rest were all captured by Liangshan troops. Quancheng once again fell under the control of Liangshan, and Qingzhou, Mizhou, and Yizhou were also successively suppressed by Liangshan."

"Wang Huan of the Daming Mansion was defeated and captured alive by Lu Junyi. The remaining soldiers suffered thousands of casualties, thousands surrendered, and more than 2 were defeated, leaving less than [-] troops to retreat."

"The Jiangnan Navy pursued the Gaotuo Mountains and was ambushed... Xichuan Lu Shinang's subordinates all changed into red clothes and annexed Prince Li, Yang Tianwang and other bandits..."

"The Shisheng of Liangzhe Road has also grown stronger. He has changed his indecisive attitude in the past, killed the bandit leaders around him, and recruited minions as his subordinates. Some people saw that he had an extra female general in his army, playing Chen Ziqi... ...Among the rebels on Guangnan Road, Lin Chong's banner appeared..."

The waves kept beating on the shallows of the river bank, turning into pieces of light white foam.

Han Shizhong's cronies changed one after another, and they were all ordered by him to go to different places to inquire about the news and report back.

The last ones came were two female soldiers, carrying an iron umbrella, a magic weapon, but this iron umbrella was silver in color, one size smaller than the usual one used by the generals, and there was a small drum hanging around their waists, which looked exquisite and exquisite everywhere. Agile and swift.

These two are from Liang Hongyu's subordinates. One is called Sima Wenjiang. Less bloody, but extremely clever.

When Han Shizhong saw them, there was a little smile in his eyes, and his voice was still flat: "Everyone in your camp has not been at the border river recently. Did you also go to find out the news?"

"General, don't underestimate us."

Ding Yuhuan was full of vigor, twenty years old, and said, "Madam sent the sisters to inquire, perhaps the general's subordinates have never inquired. Although we don't know needlework, we are much more meticulous in checking for omissions and filling in vacancies than the men's family. "

Sima Wenjiang touched Ding Yuhuan's long hair with a smile, and said: "Sister Hongyu sent us to various towns to find out where the rebels have passed by, what the reputation is like, and we have gained something recently, and we are specially ordered to report to you General."

Han Shizhong snorted lightly: "Let's hear it."

"Not long after we left the frontier army, we heard rumors about various rebel leaders in some restaurants, especially the big leader in Liangshan. A woman's ass."

Sima Wenjiang said, "But when we continue to investigate, the reputation will be quite different. Someone went to Liangzhe and found out that the soldiers under Shi Sheng's command did not hurt Jiarong. There was also a nine-tailed turtle named Tao Zongwang in his army. He is very good at farming, and sent people everywhere to teach the method of fertilizing and the method of eliminating insects."

"Someone went to the south of the Yangtze River and heard that after the soldiers and horses in Gaotuo Mountain changed their red clothes, they were also polite and polite. They stopped disturbing the village and even paid money when the villagers were recruited to help them make straw sandal quiver."

"Someone went to Guangnan and inquired for many days, and learned that many of the rebels in Guangnan practiced sorcery. They wanted to use human and animal bones to make musical instruments and magic weapons. They originally killed prisoners and animals, but later they did not allow the slaughter of prisoners. For the purpose of digging graves, even those who dug graves were punished for public display, more and more red clothes, less and less magic spells."

The more Han Shizhong listened, the more profound his eyes became, and he frowned, and he couldn't help saying, "You all heard and saw this with your own eyes?"

Sima Wenjiang nodded affirmatively, and said: "I went to Jingdong East Road, walked through Quancheng, went deep into Jeju, dressed as a beggar, and walked with a team of refugees for half a day."

"Those refugees were originally recruited by Chen Xizhen when he attacked Liangshan. Hearing that Chen Xizhen was defeated, the civilian husbands fled in all directions, panicking all day long, but they were given a little help by the nearby villages and instructed them to go to the place where Liangshan gave porridge. After a while, they can be arranged to find and resettle in barren fields."

For a farmer in the countryside to say such a thing, one can imagine how famous the people in Liangshan are in the local area.

But this kind of thing is too...

Han Shizhong still couldn't believe it.

He knew that the group of so-called rebels in Liangshan were originally just young and strong fleeing from various places, so he felt a little compassion, but he never felt that after the people in Liangshan raised the rebel flag, they could still maintain The simple morality of the common people.

Don't think that they will be sympathetic to farmers just because they used to be farmers.

On the contrary, throughout the ages, after most people rebelled, it would not be long before they would use swords and guns to rob food and poultry, beat those who dared to disobey them, and even set fire to their houses.

The so-called armed with sharp weapons, murderous intentions, and people who can't survive become outright bandits, it's nothing more than normal.

However, the existence of Liangshan seems to have violated countless old rules and common sense, and even bringing other rebels to act against common sense.

"Liangshan..."

Han Shizhong pondered for a moment, and said, "Even if Guan Luoyang, even if the leaders of Liangshan are so noble, how do they restrain the rebels in other places?"

No one else needed to answer, he had already thought, "Is that the red dress?"

Sima Wenjiang nodded and said, "The red dress is said to be derived from a magical Gu mastered by the leader of Liangshan, which can devour the cultivation of officers and soldiers, turn elite soldiers into ordinary people, and then change into red clothes. , as long as you can withstand the oppression of the possessed body in red, you can have the strength not inferior to the elite soldiers of the demonic path."

Han Shizhong said clearly: "All those who wear red clothes in the world come from him, and they can be easily deprived by him. Naturally, no one who rebels everywhere dares to disobey his rules."

"This person is really a strange number beyond the secular world!"

His words are still full of meaning, leaving behind the aftertaste of emotion.

——In this way, the current Liangshan and the Tianxia Rebel Army, whether it is ambition, military discipline or strength, really have the possibility to compete with the imperial court.

Even if the 30 frontier troops by the Upper Boundary River were not counted, the imperial court would be at a huge disadvantage.

Han Shizhong's face was as cold as iron, he was silent for a long time, and then looked at the imperial edict in his hand.

There is a tiny white electric light in the sky, flashing between the clouds.

Han Shizhong looked back at dusk, his figure disappeared like a cloud of smoke, dissipated by the wind.

Ding Yuhuan held the umbrella handle with one hand, looked around, and asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"

Sima Wenjiang looked up, and said uncertainly: "It seems that there is an expert who has refined the golden elixir, and he is approaching Jiehe."

The lightning in the dark clouds in the sky is too thin, and even a little thunder can't be heard here.

But Han Shizhong arrived at the place where the thunder could be heard in a short time, and he took another step and went deep into the dark clouds, intercepting the figure that was spinning the thunder.

After a few breaths, two figures landed and stood on the edge of the river, on a protruding rock.

This huge rock and surrounding rocks are shaped like a lying cow, and are called "Daguji" locally.

After Lin Lingsu fell, she was surrounded by pure white fairy energy, but a corner of her sleeve was missing.

He lowered his eyes to look at his sleeves: "I never imagined that the young general who was suppressed by Tong Guan in every possible way back then has reached this level. You will know that I am here after ten miles away."

"That's because Mr. Yuan Miao is still the same as before. Whether he likes it or dislikes it, he is upright. If it is replaced by a sneaky and invisible person, Han will not be so easy to detect."

Han Shizhong said with his hands behind his back, "Mr. Han heard that Mr. Yuan Miao rebelled, and now he is also sitting in the top position in Liangshan. I don't know why he came to visit our Great Song Frontier Army late at night."

Lin Lingsu waved his sleeves, released Wanyan Zonghan and others, and said, "Guan Luoyang asked me to send these envoys from the Liao Kingdom."

"The envoy of the Liao Kingdom."

Han Shizhong glanced, "Does the Liao Kingdom want to form an alliance with Liangshan?"

Lin Lingsu brushed off his sleeves and smiled coldly: "Don't ask me these things, anyway, Guan Luoyang said that the Liao Kingdom will attack you soon, these people look like an eyesore to him, so you can deal with them as you like."

Han Shizhong stared at those Liao envoys.

"The Liao Kingdom is coming? Our army didn't divide up to Liangshan, how could they attack on a large scale?"

He suddenly laughed, "However, please trouble Mr. Yuan Miao to go back and give Guan Luoyang a word, just say..."

A gust of wind blew across the river, and the waves slapped against boulders.

Amidst the sound of the big waves, the sleeves of his clothes were flying, Lin Lingsu heard Han Shizhong's words clearly, and couldn't help showing a little surprise. When he was about to leave, he turned around again and bowed to the general.

After Lin Lingsu left, Han Shizhong let go of his five fingers, and the imperial decree fell on the boulder by mistake, and rolled along the slope of the boulder into the water.

When the waves rolled, the bright yellow disappeared.

Not long after, Han Shizhong returned to the mansion and whispered to his wife.

After hearing this, Liang Hongyu said decisively, "No."

Han Shizhong frowned, and then he understood, and said with a smile: "Ma'am, what do you mean?"

Liang Hongyu turned her eyes and looked at him sideways: "The weight of Wanyan Zonghan is far from enough. Even if you are fooling your own people, you should be more or less sincere. After all, there are still some people in the army, such as Yang Zhi, who are not like you." It's a cold and serious iron face pretending."

Han Shizhong put his arms around Liang Hongyu's shoulders, and said in a gentle voice, "Madam is right, then the granary will be handled by Madam, and I will go find some sincerity."

Liang Hongyu sighed softly, hugged his waist, leaned on him and said: "Such a big matter, you just agreed in a few words, so you don't think about it anymore. Are you sure it's right, and you won't regret it in the future ?”

"Madam asked Wen Jiang and the others to report the information they found to me. Didn't they already have this intention? As for the future, even if I regret it in the future, what does that have to do with me now?"

Han Shizhong kissed Liang Hongyu's forehead lightly, took two steps back, and drifted away.

Liang Hongyu nodded her forehead, let out a chuckle, and left the Han mansion, arriving at the place where the army was hoarding food and grass.

This is an important place for military aircraft. I don't know how many elite soldiers and generals are guarding it, but with Liang Hongyu's identity, she will not be hindered.

She cast a spell in the warehouse, and methodically transferred all the food into ten feet of soil, sealed it up and hid it, leaving some empty boxes in the warehouse.

On the other side, Han Shizhong crossed the river alone, walking leisurely along the Liao army camp, and saw that between the barracks and the city, besides thousands of soldiers on patrol at night, there were also dharma circles consecrated by eminent monks hanging high. , illuminating the surroundings, making ghosts and ghosts, scouts light-hearted, with nowhere to hide.

But where Han Shizhong walked, those naked eyes and magical mirrors could not see his figure at all, and the entire mirror surface would dim for a moment, as if some kind of giant much larger than the mirror passed by.

When some Liao soldiers looked at it in a blink of an eye, the mirror was still smooth, so they didn't care.

After crossing the camp, it is the city mansion.

Bao Misheng, the general of the Liao Kingdom, always liked to use flower petals, sandalwood, and dragon birthday incense to bathe and fumigate with boiling water. He dug a large pool in his own mansion. The side of the pool was like a lotus flower. Eight-treasure utensils, the water color of the pool is like light gold, warm and nourishing.

"Don't bother the master, the commander-in-chief has already sent envoys... Hmph, it probably won't be long before we will really start a war against the Song army. Go, go quickly!!"

Bao Misheng drove away some of his most beloved beautiful maidservants, and instead called a few generals to join him in the pool. A few old men, all of them were clean and clean, only the chest and the place where the hair was luxuriant, together Talk about some practice and the rules of war.

When the few people were talking about being happy, they suddenly heard someone applauding.

"Okay, okay, people say that General Bao is brave and intrepid. I never thought that he has such accomplishments in the art of war."

"What General Bao? My surname is not Bao! You are the one..."

Before the laughter of Baomi Sheng stopped, he suddenly burst out of the pool and rushed towards the corner of the courtyard wall.

There was not even half a smile on his face, his round face was as serious as a vajra bronze face at the moment, revealing majestic and terrifying power.

The Buddhist "Vajra Fu Neng Victory Kungfu" he practiced means that the avatar of King Kong's huge power is indestructible and invincible to any enemy.

Once he strikes at this moment, it will be ten-tenths of overwhelming power. If the entire luxurious and spacious mansion is hit by his blow, all the houses will collapse one after another.

And behind him, all his generals have used their skills to take this opportunity to make a lion's roar of the Buddhist mantra to wake up all the generals in the city, and ask for help from the king of Nanyuan, Wu Yanguang.

These people were so familiar with that voice that they didn't need to go through their brains to recognize that it was Han Shizhong's voice.

But in mid-air, Baomi Sheng screamed. In the gloomy and dark night, every ounce of charm from the night seemed to be the heavy blade.

The voices of many generals in the pool were cut off, and their throats were also cut off.

The petals were all startled from the surface of the water, neatly divided into two halves in mid-air, and turned into two layers of thin flowers that fell down and covered the already stained red pool water again.

Thousands of sword blades merged into this night, and all the authority of the winding blade energy was controlled by the courtyard wall, and controlled by Han Shizhong's tentative hand grasping movement.

He circled them with saber air, and left with the corpses of these people. During the whole process, no one outside heard anything strange.

The maid across the wall was still waiting respectfully.

That night, the Song army's warehouse caught fire, burning countless grain and grass.

Many generals found Liao general Bao Misheng and others in the fire.

Han Shizhong was filled with grief and anger. He flattened the granary with a single blow from the direction of the long knife. There were no bones left for many Liao soldiers. It is not known how many elites from the Liao Kingdom participated in this surprise attack. , leaving corpses behind.

………………

When Lin Lingsu returned to Liangshan, he heard that Guan Luoyang had already retreated, so he had to find Lu Da, Li Kaixian, Li Ying and others to convey Han Shizhong's words.

"The Ten Years of Destiny in the Great Song Dynasty, on the thirteenth night of the seventh month, the Liao army attacked the Song camp regardless of the cost, and burned the food and grass. , will strive to cross the river to seize grain."
