Lord: Start with a copy of Water Margin

In Bianjing City, Gao Qiu received three memorials in succession. Gao Qiu was very upset when he saw them. Now that Tong Guan is conquering Tian Hu in Hebei, most of the elite forbidden troops have been taken away by him. How dare Gao Qiu send the forbidden troops out of Beijing again.

Gao Qiu said to the two serving officers, Wei Jing and Wang Yao, "Go and ask for Counselor Sun."

This Staff Officer Sun, whose only name is the Chinese character Jing, is extremely resourceful and full of plans. He is also well versed in the art of war and knows the events of the battle camp. It's just that I have a close relationship with Gao Qiu. He has often given advice to Gao Qiu. He is also reliable in doing things and never makes mistakes. He is deeply trusted by Gao Qiu. Relying on Gao Qiu's power, no one dared to provoke him, so they all called him "Sun Hedgehog".

After a while, Sun Jing entered the house and met Gao Qiu. Gao Qiu showed the three memorials to Sun Jing and asked, "Counsel Sun, what do you think?"

Sun Jing did not dare to be negligent and said: "Lieutenant, Gaozhi Prefecture has lost its geographical advantage. As long as Taiwei dispatches a naval force to go there, it will naturally solve the predicament of Gaozhi Prefecture."

"As for Liangshan Zhao's placement of envoys and Hu Yan's commander, from a villain's point of view, although there is a small loss, it is generally fine. They are just taking advantage of the opportunity to gain some benefits."

Gao Qiu nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

At five o'clock the next day, Gao Qiu was in the courtyard waiting for the Jingyang bell to ring. When Emperor Daojun ascended to the palace, his whip was sounded three times, the civil and military squads were in full swing, the emperor sat down, and the head official of the palace shouted: "If there is something to do, leave the squad to start playing, if there is nothing to do, roll up the curtain and withdraw from the court."

Gao Qiu came out of the squad and said: "Your Majesty, the former commissioned the governor of Gaotang Prefecture to conquer the Qingzhou bandits from Zizhou. Now Gaotang Prefecture is sending a memorial stating that the Qingzhou bandits occupy the Zihe River and the army cannot cross the river and there is no way to conquer it. I pray that your majesty will allocate water. Army to conquer the Qingzhou thieves."

The emperor heard the memorial and asked: "Who can go here? Are there any good generals in the three yamen?"

Gao Qiu said: "I protect one person, and I can go and conquer."

The emperor said: "If you use me, there will be no mistakes. I will set off immediately. I will report my merits quickly, be promoted to an official position and rewarded, and be promoted to a high position."

Gao Qiu reported: "There is a naval force in Jiankang Prefecture in Jinling, and the leader is called Liu Menglong. When the man was born, his mother dreamed of a black dragon flying into her belly, and he was born. When he grew up, he was good at knowing. He was of water nature. He had made great achievements in fighting against thieves in Xichuan River, and was promoted to the commander of the army. He commanded 15,000 naval troops and 500 boats to guard the south of the Yangtze River. "

"No." Chen Zongshan, the captain in front of the palace, came out to announce.

"Your Majesty, there are a lot of troubles caused by La in the south of the Yangtze River. The navy in Jiankang Prefecture is in danger, so we can't leave it lightly."

Gao Qiu heard this and said: "Right now, Privy Council Tong is leading the elite imperial army in Beijing to suppress Tian Hu in Hebei Province. Although there is a divine guard navy in Beijing, there are two tiger-wing naval forces in the Palace Front Division and the Infantry Division, and one in Chenghai Water. Military crossbowman with four branches of water The army must guard Jinmingchi. The crossbowmen of the Dengzhou Chenghai Army and the Pinghai Army must guard against the pirates to prevent them from colluding with the Qingzhou bandits. Where can they recruit troops and horses from Jinling? ”

After listening to the report, Chen Zongshan said: "Even so, it will take a long time for the Jinling navy to get here. Wouldn't it be a waste of time?"

Gao Qiu said: "What Chen Taiwei said is reasonable. I recommend one more person to ask Niu Bangxi, the infantry commander, to seize ships up and down the river and in the river channels, and deliver them to Zizhou for delivery and deployment for emergency purposes." The commander-in-chief of Kang Mansion only needs to bring 5,000 sergeants and 150 large and small ships to serve him."

Cai Jing came forward and said: "Your Majesty, there are gangs of thieves gathered in Songjiang, Qingzhou, to rob the city and rob the warehouses. This is a serious threat to the people. If we don't punish them early, they will develop into thieves in the future and be more difficult to control. Fuqi Shengjuan ”

After hearing the report, the emperor immediately issued an imperial edict and asked Taiwei Gao to select people to recruit Liu Menglong to go and arrest him.

Gao Qiu then reported: "Your Majesty, Hu Yanzhuo and Zhao Ze also reported that Zeng Tu, the halberd commander of Xinfeng Huaihua in Zengtou City, led the horse army and sneaked into Qingzhou. He was ambushed by Songjiang and died on the spot. I pray that your majesty will reward you and dispatch soldiers to help."

The Emperor said: "We conquered Qingzhou bandits in three places, but failed in every place."

After hearing this, Gao Qiu quickly said the memorial to Zhao Zhen that he had suppressed earlier, "Your Majesty, the envoy Zhao Fang from Liangshan Prefecture also sent troops to surround Laiwu prison, and also sent troops to sneak into Qingzhou, rescued thousands of people and moved to Yizhou. Secretly. Among the five counties in the prefecture, Ju County has been recaptured from the Qingzhou thieves."

"The envoy from Zhao has written a letter saying that the sergeants' equipment has been damaged a lot, and they have to be stationed in Yizhou to prevent the Qingzhou bandits from counterattack, so they are unable to send troops. I pray that your majesty will allocate weapons and horses to assist in the battle."

When the emperor heard the report, Long Yan was very happy and said: "Zhao Ze of Liangshan Prefecture has defeated the Qingzhou thieves, so he should be rewarded with royal wine, gold and silver, and forged horses. Needless to say, he will also open the armor storehouse, select weapons and horses from the pasture, and send them to the front of the battle."

At the end of the day, Cai Jing invited Gao Qiu to go back to his house. Cai Jing said, "Captain, I sent someone to find out. Zhao Ze in Liangshan Prefecture is not like before. There are many sergeants in the prefecture, but they are unwilling to send them to the front. To contain the Qingzhou thieves, no They are willing to try their best to attack the city. Now the officials have issued a decree to reward them, but they have to select a suitable person and beat them. The former officials sent the beauty contestants to Liangshan Prefecture, and now they are together to select a group of singers from the Jiaofang Division. Send it to the dancer."

"The adopted daughter of the Privy Councilor's family..."

"Don't mention this matter again. Privy Tong went to Hebei and has no intention of taking care of it. My family and his family have also terminated their engagement. If Privy Tong is interested, he will make his own arrangements. We don't need to worry about it." Cai Ning said calmly. .

Gao Qiu couldn't say much after hearing this. He said: "Master, everything else is easy to say, but there is only one thing, but it is a bit difficult. Most of the horses in the pasture have been sent to Tong Privy Army. How can there be any extra horses to send to Liangshan?"

Cai Jing frowned after hearing this, and was indeed a little dissatisfied with Captain Gao. No matter how few horses there are in the racecourse, there are always thousands of war horses. In the spring of this year, Gao Qiu personally selected 2,000 war horses and sent them to Gaolian Prefecture, but he did not feel distressed. Now he is unwilling to send them to Liangshan Prefecture.

Cai Jing said: "To conquer the bandits in Qingzhou, we have to rely on Liangshan Prefecture. If the rewards are not generous, I'm afraid Zhao Ze will not be willing to contribute. You and I both hate Song Jiang. Who is willing to work hard if we don't give up some benefits? The imperial horse farm belongs to the government. What are you reluctant to give up? Nowadays, officials are always talking about Zhao Ze's benefits. Why should I be a bad person? Tong Guan wanted to win over this guy, but he was willing to send his adopted daughter to be a concubine. If he didn't want to go on an expedition, he hesitated, so no matter whether it was successful or not, Zhao Ze would always do it. It’s me and other party members, and getting rid of Song Jiang is the top priority.”

Gao Qiu said: "Grand Master, you are really young. Why don't I ask the officials to reward you with a royal horse, and then give you more gold, silver, tea, and certificates, and allow it to be bought among the people."

Not to mention how Gao Qiu entered the palace to discuss the matter, it is only said that Zeng Sheng led more than a hundred people back to Zengtou City and told his father about the defeat on the battlefield. Zeng had merged with his two brothers.

Zeng Kui was furious after hearing this: "Father, I am willing to lead the army and go to take revenge."

Zeng Nong shouted and retreated, and said to his three sons: "We came to settle down in the Song Dynasty. We were ordered by the prince of Jin Dynasty to come here to spy on the news. In order to get an official position, we lost Da Lang."

Zeng Suo said: "Father, the matter has come to this, what else can we do except revenge."

Seeing that each of his three sons was unwilling to give up, Zeng Nong could only say: "Now there are three thousand Xiangyong at home, and we have to protect the village. At most, one thousand people can go. You and other brothers can't all go." "

Zeng Kui said: "Third brother will stay behind, while fifth brother and I will go."

Zeng Suo wanted to speak, but Zeng Nong said: "That's fine. Don't be brave when you go here. Doesn't Mr. Zhao want horses? Just use this as a guide and let him contribute. These horses sent from home There is a first-class yellow sand horse in the middle, please take it with you."
