Xianxia version of Water Margin

…

Chao Gai really couldn't believe it when Gongsun Sheng said that Jiang Hongfei knew Taoism and was extremely profound.

After accepting this unbelievable fact, Chao Gai couldn't help but feel a little ashamed: "I compare myself with brother Jiang Yanxian in everything, but never look at the gap between me and brother Jiang Yanxian. If I were as elegant as brother Jiang Yanxian, Tao Wulue, Yingmo Ruilue, knowledgeable and good at appointing people, Song Jiangan dares to bully me?!!!"

At this stage, in Naitoushan, no one except Gongsun Sheng can rival Gao Lian. Chao Gai, who did not want to follow in the footsteps of Song Jiang and lose all his last bit of strength in Naitoushan, finally decided to send Dai Zonghe Liu Tang went to Shuibo Liangshan and asked Jiang Hongfei to come to Gaotang Prefecture to deal with Gao Lian and rescue Chai Jin.

Dai Zong gave Liu Tang a horse, and the two went to Shuibo Liangshan that night to meet Jiang Hongfei and explain their intention.

During this time, Jiang Hongfei was very busy.

Not to mention anything else, Jiang Hongfei is busy enough just by expanding his army.

After repeated discussions between Jiang Hongfei, Sun Jing, Xiao Jiasui, Xu Guanzhong and other generals, Jiang Hongfei finally decided not to establish the Liangshan Army in the form of a regular army plus an auxiliary army, but to divide the army into a field army and a garrison army.

——The field army will be composed entirely of Qi Refiners, while the garrison army will be composed of a small number of Qi Refiners and potential auxiliary troops.

The final field army sequence:

They are: Bu 1st Army to Bu 9th Army, each army has a full strength of 5,000 men; Ma 1st Army to Ma 10th Army, as well as the Beiwei Army, Tabai Army, and the enemy army have a full strength of 3,000 men each, while the Iron Army The pagoda has a thousand people.

garrison sequence:

The first to fourth water armies each have 5,000 men (two thousand Qi warriors and three thousand auxiliary troops).

From the first garrison to the sixteenth garrison, each army has 5,000 men.

——Only the first to fourth garrison troops are stationed in Liangshan Dazhai, while the rest of the garrison troops are stationed in Erlong Mountain, Taohua Mountain, Qingfeng Mountain, Langhou Mountain, Heifenggang, Qingyun Mountain, Duiying Mountain, Dengyun Mountain and other branch villages. And Liuqiu.

The main tasks of the garrison are to defend one side and to train and supplement the field army. The reason why Jiang Hongfei divided the garrison into various branches was not only to protect each branch, but also because Liangshan Dazhai did not have such a big place and could not accommodate so many people.

In addition, there are three thousand personal guards, who are in charge of Ruan Xiaoqi, deputy commanders Liu Lin, Shi Xiu, Yan Qing, Ma Ling, Wu Jiao, Shi Gugong, leaders Zhang San, Li Si, He Cheng, Wu Neng, Xu Jin et al.

The direction of large-scale military expansion is this direction, but it is far from simple to implement it thoroughly.

What troubled Jiang Hongfei and the others the most was that there were not so many Qi practitioners in Shuibo Liangshan.

You know, according to the large-scale army expansion plan formulated by Jiang Hongfei and others, they will need almost 110,000 Qi Refiners alone.

At the current stage, there are actually only a little more than 60,000 Qi Refiners in Shuibo Liangshan (not counting those captured by the Song Army).

This resulted in that, except for a few armies such as the Guards and the Beiwei Army, the other Liangshan armies were not satisfied with the establishment at all, and those garrison armies, especially the four garrison armies in Liangshan Dazhai, were seriously redundant. The training pressure for the leader is particularly high.

In order to change this situation, Jiang Hongfei not only distributed a large amount of training resources to the auxiliary troops so that those auxiliary troops could become Qi practitioners as soon as possible, but also strictly ordered the political education department to step up the political education of the prisoners of the Song Army. The Bing Cao continued to recruit new recruits with good spiritual abilities, and even directly recruited Qi Refiner recruits.

Some people may want to ask, is Jiang Hongfei too hasty and taking too big a step?

Maybe a little.

But Jiang Hongfei had no choice but to act like this.

First, after Shuibo Liangshan captured Daming Mansion and Kaide Mansion, Jiang Hongfei had the strength to take this big step.

Er Nai, Tian Hu and Wang Qing now have hundreds of thousands of troops. As one of the four major bandits, it is not appropriate for Jiang Hongfei to have another 30 to 50,000 troops. The key is that if these two guys start to cause trouble, Jiang Hongfei's The men and horses will be stretched immediately and will not be able to take advantage of them.

Thirdly, the Zhao and Song Dynasties did not clean up Shuibo Liangshan because the Jin envoy was in Bianliang City, Tokyo. But now that the Jin envoy has left, can they continue to let Shuibo Liangshan do what they want?

The fourth one has now entered the first year of Xuanhe - after the seven years of Xuanhe, it will be the famous Jingkang year in history, which is also the time when the Jingkang scandal occurred.

In other words, the most turbulent period of the Zhao and Song Dynasties has begun.

Under these circumstances, there is really no reason for Jiang Hongfei not to expand his army, even if it takes bigger steps.

And if you want to completely expand the army, it is obviously not something that can be achieved overnight.

In addition, Jiang Hongfei also had to digest other talents and property obtained from Daming Mansion and Kaide Mansion.

In addition, Jiang Hongfei still had a lot of major military and political matters to make decisions on.

To be honest, Jiang Hongfei really didn't want to get involved in Naitoushan's attack on Gaotangzhou.

But Jiang Hongfei knew very well that if he didn't go to Gaotangzhou, Chai Jin might be finished.

Now, let alone who owes whom, at least the spiritual money that Shuibo Liangshan started from was obtained from Chai Jin. Chai Jin has been helping Jiang Hongfei these years. If nothing else, just the thousand horses that Chai Jin repaid as a gift. Lingma helped Jiang Hongfei a lot.

Therefore, there is no problem at all in saying that Chai Jin is Jiang Hongfei's friend.

His friend is in trouble now. If Jiang Hongfei doesn't come to rescue him, friends in the world will say that Jiang Hongfei has forgotten his roots.

If this kind of thing spreads, it will be very bad for Jiang Hongfei's reputation and will also hinder the development of Shuibo Liangshan.

Therefore, Jiang Hongfei was still busy and led his own army, plus the fully formed Beiwei Army and the almost fully formed Ma Yi Army, to Gaotang Prefecture.

The entire journey was silent.

It is only said that after Jiang Hongfei led a group of Liangshan heroes to Gaotang Prefecture, Chao Gai, Song Jiang, Wu Yong, Gongsun Sheng and others greeted him ten miles away.

After meeting, Jiang Hongfei exchanged greetings and said, "Why did your family fail so miserably this time?"

As soon as Jiang Hongfei said this, Song Jiang immediately felt ashamed!

When Chao Gai led his troops to attack Gaotang Prefecture, although he did not accomplish what he said, "I will teach you how I command my troops," at least Chao Gai did not lose his troops or generals. If we insist on saying so, after Chao Gai took over, Naitou Mountain There was also a small victory.

Only Song Jiang was defeated.

Song Jiang calmed down and said, "I don't know that Gao Lian is a mage with strong demon skills, so I underestimated the enemy."

Chao Gai mercilessly exposed Song Jiang and said: "He really has no talent in commanding troops, and he doesn't listen to me. He insists on personally commanding troops to attack Gaotang Prefecture, and he doesn't take Mr. Yiqing with him out of selfish motives, so he suffers the consequences." This great defeat has taught me that Fengshan has lost troops and generals, and it has also taught me that Fengshan has been humiliated. In the end, I have to trouble my dear brother to come and deal with the aftermath, alas~!"

Seeing that Chao Gai had exposed Song Jiang's shortcomings in front of Song Jiang, how could Jiang Hongfei not see that the conflict between Chao Gai and Song Jiang had become irreconcilable again, and a life-or-death showdown between them was about to begin.

"Interesting. Hmm... By the way, there are already quite a few leaders in Naitou Mountain. Should I close the net? I've been a bit short of people there recently..."

When Song Jiang heard this, Chao Gai stabbed him in the back in front of Jiang Hongfei, but he said nothing.

There is nothing left to say.

The facts of this matter are clear, and this is not something he can quibble with.

If he continues to quibble, especially in front of Jiang Hongfei, who has no tolerance for criticism, Jiang Hongfei may become disgusted and help Chao Gai to kill him.

Instead of doing this, he might as well acquiesce openly. Maybe Jiang Hongfei would think that he dared to take responsibility.

As for Chao Gai who wanted to kill him?

Then it depends on who of them dies in the end!

But it was said that Jiang Hongfei led the Liangshan Army and three to four thousand troops from Naitoushan to the gate of Gaotang City.

Without fear, Gao Lian led 300 magic soldiers and 3,000 troops out of the city to fight.

The two armies met each other, with flags and drums facing each other, and each held strong bows and crossbows to hold their positions.

The horns were blown and the drums were beaten in both armies.

At the gate of Jiang Hongfei's formation, thirty or forty riders came to Yanyi and spread out on both sides. The five people on his left hand were Sun Jing, Zhu Wu, Du Bo, Lin Chong, and Feng Tai; the five people on his right hand were Chao Gai, Song Jiang, Wu Yong, Gongsun Sheng, and Li Ying; the five female generals behind him: Gao Liang, Chen Liqing, Hu Sanniang, Hua Baoyan, and Qiongying. The rest of the generals from Shuibo Liangshan and Naitoushan extended outwards.

How is Jiang Hongfei dressed today?

A crimson scarf is worn on the head, and a lion belt is tied around the waist. The brocade robe is bright red and sticks to the back, and the mercury helmet is decorated with colorful phoenixes and flying eaves. The green boots are slanted on the precious stirrups, and the golden armor moves the dragon scales. The gold is traced along with the purple silk whip, and the brocade saddle and saddle are used to ride the Dawan horse steadily. Behind them are two large flags, one written: Jiang Yan, the great sage who covers the gods, Buddhas and heavens; the other written, Hongfei, the master of Liang Village in Shuibo.

Gao Lian went out to the battle and saw the big flag behind Jiang Hongfei. How could he not know that the person coming was Jiang Hongfei? He shouted loudly and cursed: "How dare you, that puddle thief, come here to die. Today is the time for me, Gao Lian, to eliminate troubles for the court!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Chong leaped out of the formation with a snake spear as tall as eight feet, and shouted sternly: "Anyone with the surname Gao, come out and die!"

Gao Lian raised his horse and led more than 20 officers out to the gate, reined in the horse, then pointed at Lin Chong and cursed: "Who are you, and you dare to come here to die?"

Lin Chong said loudly: "Grandpa Lin Chong!"

Gao Lian said: "It turns out he is the spear and stick instructor of the 800,000 Forbidden Army. No wonder he makes such wild remarks."

Lin Chong shouted: "You Gao family are robbers who harm the good people! Sooner or later I will go to the capital and cut Gao Qiu's body into thousands of pieces. That will be enough!"

Hearing Lin Chong scold his cousin Gao Qiu, Gao Lian was furious and turned around and asked, "Who will go out to catch this thief for me?"

As a result, three Song generals came up in a row, but they were all killed by Lin Chong in less than ten moves.

Seeing that the generals on his side were still unable to fight, Gao Lian could only do some magic tricks, but he saw black air rising into the sky, strong winds blowing, flying sand and rocks, and sowing dust.

The three hundred magic soldiers each took fire and lit it on the mouth of the gourd. A reed whistle sounded in unison. In the middle of the black air, flames flew randomly, and the top and bottom were red. In an instant, the overwhelming fire brought flying sand and rocks towards the Liangshan Army and Nai The army from Tou Shan swept in.

Seeing this, Gongsun Sheng looked at Jiang Hongfei and said, "Brother, this is his special move. His demonic fire is so powerful that it is invincible."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Hongfei made a casual move, and soon the originally gloomy sky was covered by dark clouds and arcs of electricity flashed randomly above.

Gongsun Sheng recognized it at a glance as a rain-calling technique.

Although Jiang Hongfei can cast the rain summoning technique without drawing talismans or using a magic sword, it is already very powerful.

But this ordinary water cannot extinguish Gao Lian's demon fire. Otherwise, Gongsun Sheng would not have to ask Jiang Hongfei to deal with Gao Lian. He can also call the wind and rain.

Just when Gongsun Sheng wanted to remind Jiang Hongfei, Jiang Hongfei's right hand was suddenly filled with thunder and lightning.

This thunder and lightning shot straight into the sky and connected with the thunder and lightning in the cloud.

Gongsun Sheng guessed in his mind: "Is this a combination spell?"

The next moment, a giant dragon transformed from thunder and lightning was pulled by Jiang Hongfei and poked its head out of the dark clouds!

This thunder dragon is so powerful, its body is still hidden in the dark clouds, and only a huge dragon head is exposed, which makes people irresistible, including Gongsun Sheng and Gao Lian.

When Gao Lian saw this, he thought to himself: "No, this person can already borrow the power of heaven and earth. He is invincible to me!"

Then he wanted to take people to escape back to Gaotang City.

Unfortunately, it was already too late.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Hongfei guided the thunder dragon to attack Gao Lian directly.

There was just a loud noise, and the entire battlefield was destroyed. The thunder dragon bit Gao Lian in one bite, and then a lightning beam connecting the sky and the earth appeared. Gao Lian was hit and instantly turned into ashes.

Not only that, the three hundred magic soldiers closest to Gao Lian were also involved in this thunder and lightning, and not a single one of them escaped.

Even many of the Song troops were affected, and a large number of them were killed or injured.

Those soldiers of the Song Army who were lucky enough to survive were frightened when they saw that Jiang Hongfei could even control the divine thunder. They immediately dropped their weapons and scattered.

Seeing this, Jiang Hongfei ordered: "Attack the city!"

Following Jiang Hongfei's order, a dozen qi masters with particularly good physical attributes and spiritual roots came to the city under the protection of the group. Then they pressed their hands on the ground, and more than a dozen flying bridges appeared out of thin air.

The soldiers of the Liangshan Army, who were carrying the Wei Army and Ma Yijun, immediately rode their horses along the flying bridge and rushed into Gaotang City...
