Water Margin people

Chapter 376 Ming Xiu Plank Road Darkness Chen Cang
"The younger brother also thinks that my brother's guess is right. Although Gao Qiu is a rascal and has no military knowledge, he is in charge of the three government offices and has countless subordinates. He will definitely not send troops here in such a simple way."

Wen Huanzhang also said, Gao Qiu sent Hu Yanzhuo to fight Liang Shan with such fanfare, didn't this give Liang Shan a chance to react?Hu Yanzhuo was going to transfer troops from Runing County, Chenzhou, and Yingzhou, and he couldn't gather in half a month. It was obviously intentional to release the news so early.

"Brother, there are many military prefectures near Jingdong, will you transfer the soldiers from there?"

Tang Bin said.

"This is not clear, but send people to pay close attention to the mobilization of soldiers and horses around Jingdong."

Sun Lei nodded. There are many state capitals around Liangshanbo, so he has to guard against it.

"What about Song Jiang? What do you think?"

Sun Lei asked again.

"Brother, this matter is even more strange. I don't know much about Song Jiang, but he is just a small official sent by the prefect of Jeju to Tokyo to ask for help. I guess he will never see Cai Jing, the grand master. How could he bump into him? He was demoted Jiangzhou, it really doesn't make sense."

Wen Huanzhang shook his head and said that he didn't know Song Jiang, but he knew very well about the affairs of the court. How could He De, a local subordinate in Song Jiang, collide with Cai Jing.

"Brother, this Song Jiang is the most smooth-talking. He greets everyone with a smile on weekdays. He is very courteous. How could he offend Cai Jing? Moreover, Cai Jiu, the prefect of Jiangzhou, is Cai Jing's son. Cai Jing's family members are all over the world. It’s not necessary to borrow a knife to kill someone.”

Xiao Jiasui knew about Song Jiang, and from Song Jiang's coming to redeem the prisoners in Jeju, he could tell that he was extremely rich, kind and forbearing, not the kind of person who would offend others, and Cai Jing's choice of Jiangzhou was also very problematic.

"It seems that he has some ulterior secret with Cai Jing."

Sun Lei touched his chin and said, because of his appearance, Song Jiang's fate seemed to have shifted. Song Jiang, who originally rebelled against Zhao'an, skipped the step of rebellion.

After all, Cai Jing still didn't understand Jiang Hu, and the people in Jiang Hu committed crimes and sent them to the army.

"Brother, Zhang Shun is from Jiangzhou, why don't you ask him."

Deng Fei said.

Soon Zhang Shun was called over, and Sun Lei asked about going to Jiangzhou.

"Song Jiang? That's Song Gongming from Shandong Province? He went to Jiangzhou?"

Zhang Shun was surprised after hearing this.

"There are some heroes in the rivers and lakes of Jiangzhou. There is a dean in Jiangzhou Prison City, Mr. Dai. Well, there is also a town of Jieyang in Jiangbei, and there is a bully named Mu in the town..."

Zhang Shun introduced the situation in Jiangzhou.

……

Tokyo, Taiwei Mansion.

"Huang Wenbing, your plan is not bad!"

Gao Qiu looked at Huang Wenbing standing in front of him with a smile. He was more and more satisfied with this follower who came under him on a whim. Not only could he help him with some government affairs, but he also had good strategies. His subordinates were really inferior.

"The villain is just trying his best. Everything is at the discretion of Taiwei Gangang. The thief will definitely be wiped out, and Sun Lei's head will be delivered in a few days."

Huang Wenbing said with a smile.

"Ha ha!"

Gao Qiu laughed.

Gao Qiu originally thought that it would be enough to send Hu Yanzhuo to take Peng Hantao and Peng to take soldiers and horses to destroy Liangshanbo, but when he came back, Huang Wenbing said that the chaos in the court would definitely startle the snake, and if the Liangshan bandits were prepared, the army would surely die without success return.

Gao Qiu thought it was the same thing, but he didn't make trouble in the court, the court would never send troops to suppress the bandits, so Huang Wenbing suggested to send another army secretly, Hu Yanzhuo made a big fanfare to attract the people of Liangshan, and another army directly attacked the rear of Liangshan.

"This time you have a good plan to build the plank road and hide the old warehouse. Now that the prefect of Jeju has been transferred and there is a vacancy, I am going to protect you as the prefect of Jeju and help destroy Sun Lei. You are willing to go!"

Gao Qiu looked at Huang Wenbing and said.

"The villain is willing, thank you for the honor of the Taiwei, the villain will do his best to repay the favor of the Taiwei! Kill the thief for the country."

Huang Wenbing was overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt down to worship Gao Qiu. Letting him out as a magistrate meant that he would step into the officialdom again, and this time he had a strong backer.

"You first go to Jeju to find out the truth of the thieves, and I have another person here that you take secretly. I want to let those thieves taste the pain of losing their loved ones."

Gao Qiu looked at Huang Wenbing and said with a grim expression, the chess piece that has been raised for a long time should be used.

After Huang Wenbing left, Gao Qiu went directly to the Baihu Festival Hall and summoned a group of commanders and secretaries to discuss important military matters. Not long after, the officials from the three Yamen arrived at the Baihu Festival Hall to meet Gao Qiu.

"Now that Hu Yanzhuo is about to deploy troops, the news cannot be blocked. The thieves must be prepared. I want to find a good general to quietly send troops to raid Liangshanpo. Is there any good general to recommend?"

Gao Qiu looked at the crowd and asked, he had just taken over the Sanya not long ago, so far he has not identified all the staff, let alone the local generals.

Everyone looked at each other, some frowned, some were silent, but no one spoke.

"Taiwei, the young general recommends one person, who will definitely be a bandit in Liangshan."

Behind the infantry captain, an ugly young general came out of the squad and saluted.

"you?"

Gao Qiu frowned when he saw the man, he recognized this man, it was Baoyi Xuanzan, the defense envoy of the Yamen.It's not that he is familiar with Xuan Zan, but Xuan Zan is notoriously ugly in the Sanya and the Privy Council, and is often talked about as a laughing stock.

Xuan Zan was born with a face like the bottom of a pot, with upturned nostrils, curly hair and red beard, and a sturdy figure.With the sharp mouth and sword, the martial arts are still outstanding.He used to be a county horse in the palace before, and people called him an ugly county horse.Because he won the general against Lianzhujian, the prince recruited him as his son-in-law.But who would have thought that the princess thought he was ugly and died of hatred.Therefore, it is not allowed to be reused, but only to be a military envoy.

"The young general had an acquaintance in the village at the beginning. He was a descendant of the righteous son of King Wu'an at the end of the Han Dynasty. His surname was Guan Mingsheng, and his appearance was similar to that of King Wu'an. He also made a green dragon Yanyue knife, known as Da Dao Guan Sheng. Pudong inspected, and he was a subordinate. This man read military books at a young age, has a deep knowledge of martial arts, and has the courage that is unworthy of a man. If you invite him with a gift coin, you will be worshiped as a general. The people, open up the frontier and expand the land, end in this person. Beg for the order of Jun."

Xuan Zan bowed to Gao Qiu, he and Guan Sheng were young and knew Guan Sheng's ability, but he had no connections and could not reuse it. Now that he had the opportunity, he naturally wanted to recommend it. He just wiped out a bandit nest, so what's the problem? of?
"Okay, that's it!"

Gao Qiu was overjoyed when he heard the words of praise, and immediately made a decision.

"You go and tell Guan Sheng that I specially promoted him as the commander of the army and horses, and ordered him to transfer [-] Hebei defenders. After Hu Yanzhuo is in place, he will surprise Liangshanbo! You are a deputy general in the army. Duan Chang, you prepare food, grass and military equipment. !"

Gao Qiu looked at Xuan Zan and the Infantry Taiwei Duan Chang (Northern Song Dynasty, both commanding envoys can be honored as Taiwei) and said.

"Today's matter must be kept secret, if it is leaked, it will be punished!"

Gao Qiu glanced around at the people present again and said coldly, but the people present dared not keep saying a word.
