() The moonlight is bright and clear, lightly sprinkled on the river, giving people a sense of purity and distance.

The Liang Shanshui army camp on the north bank of the Yangtze River was quiet, as if they didn't know that the imperial court had gathered tens of thousands of horses to prepare for a sneak attack.

Zhong Shidao can be regarded as a famous general of a generation, but he had no choice but to obey the emperor when he met the pig-like emperor.But in his mind, as long as he successfully landed, with the cooperation of the state capitals, he might really be able to recover the lost ground in one fell swoop.

There is still some distance from the shore, which happens to be the shooting distance of the artillery.Zhong Shidao ordered to stop the ship, and then fired.

The ships in front were all equipped with additional artillery sent by Liangshan, so they were most suitable for attacking Liangshan troops.

Flames sputtered, and after dozens of cannons fired, the warships of the Liang Shanshui Army suddenly burst into flames.However, there was no scream of the sailor that Shidao wanted to hear.

Just when Zhong Shidao was puzzled, countless torches suddenly lit up on the north bank of the Yangtze River. Against the backdrop of the torches, countless warships lined up, and the black gun barrels in the firelight emitted a gloomy light.

No, there is an ambush?Zhong Shidao was shocked. As a general, he also attached great importance to the collection of intelligence, but he hadn't seen so many warships during the day, so why did they appear at night?Could it be that they flew here out of thin air?

Then have time to analyze the reason for Master Zhong?But upon hearing the order from the Liang Shanshui Army, tens of thousands of artillery shells were fired, and countless shells fell into the imperial warships. The accuracy was much better than that of the imperial court. After a round of intensive bombing, more than half of the imperial warships were lost.

Zhong Shidao quickly ordered a counterattack, but the court couldn't fire a few cannonballs, and they all fell into a sea of ​​flames. Some were hit by Liangshan, and some were caused by the artillery's self-explosion and detonation of nearby ammunition, causing a chain reaction.

Zhong Shidao saw that the situation was not good, so he turned the bow and ran away.

But Liang Shan laid such a big hole for him, how could he just escape like this?After Zhong Shidao turned the bow of the boat, he was surprised to find that the river behind him was also covered with Liangshan's warships.

First there was a gigantic warship with brightly lit lights and dense cannons on both sides of the ship.In the night, it looks like a ferocious monster standing proudly on the water, making people shudder.

At this time, Liangshan's artillery group had stopped firing, but the warships of the imperial court still heard explosions from time to time.At this time, someone had already told Mr. Zhong that the artillery made by the imperial court couldn't be fired at all, it would explode when it was ignited, and there was no need for others to fire it.

So far, Zhong Shidao has fully understood that he has fallen into Liangshan's trap, and Liangshan has started to set up this situation a long time ago. It is ridiculous that the emperor is still trying to eliminate Song Qing and regain all the lost ground!Now it seems that if Liangshan does not take advantage of the situation to destroy the Lin'an court, the emperor will burn incense.

What else are you fighting for?He ordered his men to stop resisting and waved the white flag to surrender.

The Liang Shanshui army did not kill them all, and sent ships to guide the remaining imperial warships to dock, and all officers and soldiers put down their weapons and disembarked.Zhong Shidao was brought onto the super battleship.

There are not many people in Liangshan who are qualified to take this battleship, but Song Qing is of course an exception.He came in person, but it didn't look like he came to fight, but he came for sightseeing.

Because he brought Ke'er and the two spies.

Song Qing seems to have heard of the name Zhong Shidao in novels, and he should also belong to the diehard loyalists of Song Dynasty.

Zhong Shidao was brought onto the boat and was not tied up. This was the first time he saw the legendary King Liang. The imagined King Liang was treacherous and cunning, devouring the court's land, but still pretending to be a loyal minister.Such a person should be a hero who watches over wolves, but he did not expect that this Liang Wang was handsome and gentle, and he looked more like a student going to Beijing to rush for an exam.

The only thing that no one can learn is the surging air of a king.

You must know that King Liang has made great contributions to the court, but now the court is fighting against him without declaring it. Although he has been prepared for a long time, it seems that he can't justify it.

Zhong Shidao pondered for a moment, then suddenly turned over and knelt down, and said with his head on the ground: "The sinner, Zhong Shidao, pleaded guilty to the king of Liang, and asked the king of Liang to punish me for the crime of sending troops to invade Qiansui's territory without the consent of the court."

hehe!This guy wants to take all the blame on his shoulders!But can you afford it?

He smiled lightly and said: "This king has always liked loyal people, but this king will not persuade you to surrender. You can't hide these tricks from this king. I will let you go back now. You go back and tell Zhao Huan that I will meet you in Lin'an City." For him, whether it is war or peace, it is still in his mind."

After finishing speaking, Song Qing waved his hand, and ordered people to take Shidao Zhong, who still wanted to say something, off the boat.

After all this tossing, the sky has turned white.After this battle, the tens of thousands of people that Zhao Huan put together with great difficulty were wiped out overnight.If Song Qing sent troops to attack Lin'an now, Zhao Huan might not even have an army to resist.

After a short rest, Song Qing led the fleet to sea along the estuary of the Yangtze River, and then went south along the coastline to Hangzhou Bay, all the way to drive the fleet to the city of Lin'an.

At this time, Zhao Huan had already received the reward of cultivating the teacher's way, and when he heard the news that the entire army was wiped out, and Song Qing had personally led the troops to kill him, Zhao Huan almost peed out of fright.

Really regretted being dazzled by the victory, and actually tried to pull a tooth out of the tiger's mouth?I don't even think about whether the Liangshan people can be resisted by their own generals?

But what's the use of regretting now?At that time, my mind became hot, and even the proclamation of crusade against Song Qing was sent out. Now all the officials and people in the world know that Song Qing has been deprived of his official position by the court. If Song Qing really overthrows himself as a rebel, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it. of.

However, listening to Master Zhong said that Song Qing still intends to talk about peace, it seems that things are still easing up.But how can Song Qing be satisfied this time?

In a hurry, Zhao Huan immediately summoned Liang Shicheng, Huang Qianshan, He Li and other confidants to discuss how to deal with the Song and Qing affairs.

Of the three cobblers, one was Song Qing's undercover agent at all, and the other two were nothing but shit.Can you give Zhao Huan any advice?

Liang Shicheng didn't receive Song Qing's latest instructions, so he didn't know what Song Qing wanted, and all he could think about was how to get the best benefits for Song Qing.

To say that Song Qing is also worthy of him, directly gave him an official position as a general of the auxiliary country. Although he is still unable to exercise his power, it is an official position of the second rank, and he is definitely a scorpion under Song Qing.

Seeing that Song Qing was about to arrive, these subordinates who usually spoke vernacularly were silent, which made Zhao Huan annoyed.

"You guys are talking! Don't you always say you want to share my worries? Why don't you speak at critical moments?"

This time Huang Qianshan came to be clever and said first: "Your Majesty, Wan An, I am thinking that your Majesty was deceived for a while, so there was a misunderstanding with King Liang. As long as we are sincere enough, King Liang Qiansui will surely stop the thunder." of wrath

"Yes, yes, it's a misunderstanding. How can we show our sincerity? I have already given him the land of Jiangbei, why can't I give it to Jiangnan again?"

With an idea, He Li said, "Your Majesty forgot, there is still a place that can be promised to the King of Liang."

Zhao Huan finally got smarter, he was taken aback for a moment, and blurted out: "You mean Shuzhong?"

"Your Majesty is wise. Although the middle of Shu is now occupied by the Fangla rebels, it is still the territory of our Song Dynasty in name, so there is nothing wrong with your Majesty granting it to the King of Liang. Besides, if the King of Liang raises troops to advance Suppressing there, you will be killed with Fang La, and it will also buy the imperial court some breathing time. When the imperial court regains its strength, it will be able to regain all the lost ground in one fell swoop."

The last thing Zhao Huan wants to hear now is someone who tells him to restore his vitality and regain his lost ground.The more the mother recovers, the smaller the territory will be. If the recovery continues, Song Qing may squeeze him into the kang.

But I have to admit that He Li's words are reasonable, let Song Qing and Fang La pinch, it is best to pinch both losers.But who should be sent to say this?

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Liang Shicheng sneer and say: "Master He, do you think King Liang is so stupid that he is at your mercy?"

Following Liang Shicheng's words, Zhao Huan's heart skipped a beat, yes!There is nothing wrong with Song Qing's head, how could he not see such a simple scheme?What if he doesn't want Shuzhong?

"Old Liang, what good idea do you have?"

Liang Shicheng frowned and pretended to think for a moment before saying: "The first thing your Majesty should do now is to decree to restore all the official positions of the King of Liang, and admit that he was deceived by the traitors, and then he will be granted the title. As for what Master He said about Shu The old slave thinks it is not impossible, but it mainly depends on the attitude of King Liang."

"Yes, what Lao Liang said is right. Come, I will immediately convey my will to restore all the titles of Liang Wang. At the same time, he will be appointed as the envoy of Liang Wang Xichuan, and the land in the north of the river will always be hereditary."

Liang Shicheng, Huang Qianshan, and He Li couldn't help but sigh inwardly.First, Quanzhi Shandong affairs, then Hebei appeasement envoy, then Jiangbei disposition envoy, and now Xichuan disposition envoy.The emperor is really generous enough, I guess it won't take long before you will spend all the foundation left to you by your ancestors.

At present, Zhao Huan sent Liang Shi to be a special envoy to communicate with Song Qing on his behalf, making sure that Song Qing appeased his anger and withdrew his troops back.

At this time, Song Qing's fleet was already approaching the outside of Lin'an City.Lin'an is not far from Mingzhou, where the scenery is picturesque and the climate is pleasant.The people who live there are all the people of their own country, so there is no need to play tricks of standing up.

Song Qing didn't even allow the fleet to disturb passing ships, but in front of such a fleet, how many ships would dare to pass?Especially for businesses that rely on the sea to make their living, the flag of the Liangshan Navy is more effective than the imperial decree.

After landing outside Lin'an City, Liang Shicheng, who had been waiting for a long time, boarded the Liangshan, see Song Qing.It should be said that this is the second time the two have met, but it has been two years since they secretly communicated.

Liang Shicheng was the one who waited on the emperor, his eyes could not be compared with others, paying homage to the Song and Qing Dynasties, he was more respectful than the emperor.Judging from his appearance, it seems that he is not here to deliver an edict for the emperor, but a special trip to see him.

Song Qing was not stingy either. According to the previous rewards, he directly called Master Liang a general.

The two of them were very polite, and Liang Shicheng told Song Qing the intention he had discussed with Zhao Huan, and asked for Song Qing's opinion.

Hearing that Zhao Huan actually wanted to seal the middle of Shu to himself, Song Qing was indeed a little surprised. Of course, he also understood the deep meaning of Zhao Huan, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Go back and tell Zhao Huan that I agree to his condition. There is only one condition for me. Just invite him to my boat for tea."
