[After meeting these two people recommended by his trusted ministers, Emperor Daojun felt a little hesitant. He decided to summon these people to Beijing to check it out for himself. 】
[Because the emperor personally ordered it, officials from various places naturally did not dare to neglect it. 】
[In just five or six days, Guan Sheng, Xin Congzhong, Deng Zongbi, Zhang Yinglei, and Tao Zhenting had already arrived in Bianliang, Tokyo. 】
[I learned that the generals are coming. 】
[Emperor Daojun drove to Zichen Palace, preparing to meet these generals in person. 】
[Let’s say that Guan Sheng, who was patrolling Pudong, was a good-looking man after Guan Yu, the righteous and brave king of Wu'an in the late Han Dynasty - a dignified body of eight feet five six, a thin three-willow mustache, two eyebrows on the temples, phoenix eyes facing the sky, a face Like heavy jujubes, like lips painted with vermilion. 】
[When Emperor Daojun saw this, he felt happy and nodded slightly unconsciously. 】
[After that, the emperor turned his eyes and looked at Xin Congzhong, the commander of Dongguang military and horse forces, Deng Zongbi, the military commander of Cangzhou, Zhang Yinglei, the military commander of Kaizhou, and Tao Zhenting, the military commander of Guangping. 】
[Na Xin Congzhong has a face like a crown jade, sword eyebrows and a tiger's mouth. He is eight feet long and majestic. He wields a snake spear that is eight feet long. 】
[Deng Zongbi is seven feet, five or six inches long. His eyes have purple ridges. They open and close like lightning. He wears a pair of male and female swords on his waist, each more than five feet long. He is filled with murderous intent. 】
[As for Zhang Yinglei and Tao Zhenting, they are cousins. They are both over eight feet tall and within forty years old. Zhang Yinglei wielded a red copper hammer, but it was a strange weapon, while Tao Zhenting wielded a pair of jujube and melon hammers, each weighing thirty kilograms. At the same time, he concealed a gold-plated musket, which he could release in the moment of battle with perfect accuracy. 】
[Looking at these brave warriors, Emperor Daojun smiled happily. 】
[He clapped his hands gently and said: "Thanks to the outstanding people of our Song Dynasty, we are able to have such fierce warriors to serve. As for these generals, they are going to conquer the Taihang Mountains. Whatever they ask for, just tell me and I will definitely satisfy you!"]
[As soon as the emperor finished speaking, Guan Sheng held up his hands and said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I think that the bandits in the Taihang Mountains are very powerful and cannot be defeated. We need to attack them slowly... If we want to encircle and suppress them, in addition to the 10,000 soldiers and horses here, I will , it is also necessary to mobilize surrounding towns to cut off the surrounding roads and trap them in the center of Gaixin. When their logistics are insufficient, the thieves will collapse!"]
[After hearing Guan Sheng’s words, Emperor Daojun’s expression froze, and then he asked: “How many troops and horses should be deployed according to the generals?”]
[Guan Sheng replied: "If we want to encircle and suppress the Taihang Mountain bandits, we will have to have 150,000 to 200,000 troops!"]
[When the emperor heard this, he frowned slightly and said, "You want so many soldiers and horses?" At this point, he turned his eyes to Deng, Xin, Zhang, and Tao, and asked, "What do you think?"]
[When Guan Sheng spoke just now, Deng, Xin, Zhang, and Tao had already shown sneers on their faces. 】
[At this time, several people heard the emperor asking. Deng Zongbi cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I will think that these Taihang Mountain bandits are just grass bandits and are nothing to be afraid of!"]
[The emperor was overjoyed when he heard this, and then asked: "Could it be that several generals have already figured out a good strategy to defeat the enemy?"]
[Deng Zongbi said: "The Taihang Mountain bandits are just relying on the dangers of the mountains and rivers to hold Qingzhou. We don't have to face his strengths at all. We only send a group of troops to surprise Qingzhou, and after we capture his money and grain production Wherever they come from, these Taihang Mountain bandits are nothing but fish and meat on a plate, ready to be slaughtered by us at will!"]
[The emperor nodded slightly and then asked: "Then how should we attack the bandits in Qingzhou City?"]
[Deng Zongbi smiled and said: "In ancient times, soldiers and horses attacked a city, which was nothing more than encircling three and missing one. We can surround Qingzhou, let go of the east intersection, and then invite Dengzhou soldiers and horses to ambush from the east. Under the two-pronged attack, the thieves Everyone will be defeated!"]
[When Guan Sheng heard this, his silkworm eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and he said: "But the thieves in the Taihang Mountains are all brave. If they fight to the death, the imperial officers and soldiers should be careful about casualties!"]
[Hearing Guan Sheng speak like this, Deng Zongbi glanced at him sideways, and sneered: "How can General Guan be so powerful in enhancing other people's ambitions and destroying his own prestige?"]
[At this time, the emperor waved his hand and said: "Oh! I heard what the four generals said in advance... General Guan, you are quite like your ancestors. You are a senior general in the army and you also lead a troop of troops and are stationed at Dongping Mansion is nearby, ready for support at any time."]
[Guan Sheng sighed inwardly, nodded, and said: "The last general takes command!"]
[Afterwards, Emperor Daojun mobilized troops and horses. He appointed Xin Congzhong, Deng Zongbi, Zhang Yinglei, and Tao Zhenting as four generals to fight against thieves. Each led 30,000 troops, totaling 120,000 troops, and went straight to Qingzhou City. 】
[Guan Sheng, as the deputy general in the fight against thieves, led 10,000 troops and was stationed in Dongping Mansion, waiting for the general's call at any time. 】
[Several generals received military orders and went down to prepare on their own. Three days later, they set off from Bianliang, Tokyo. Let's not mention it for now. 】
【at the same time. 】
[In Qingzhou City. 】
[During this period, you have been personally stationed. 】
[As for the purpose of garrisoning Qingzhou City. 】
[Of course it is to train young and strong recruits. 】
【This period of time. 】
[As your power continues to expand, many heroes gather together. Among them, Qin Ming, Huang Xin, Hua Rong, Hu Yanzhuo, Han Tao, Peng Qi, Lu Zhishen, and Xu Ning, who once served as imperial military officers, are stationed in Qingzhou together with You. . 】
[Many other leaders are still stationed in the Taihang Mountain stronghold. 】
[Currently, there are still 5,000 veterans and 10,000 recruits in Qingzhou City. After these soldiers and horses are fully trained, they will be dispersed into the main army of Taihang Mountain to fight in all directions with you. 】
【And on this day. 】
[As usual, you finished training your troops and horses and returned to your residence. Just as you were sitting down, you heard a report outside the door: "Zheng Tianshou, please see me!"]
[When you heard Zheng Tianshou’s arrival, your heart moved slightly. Zheng Tianshou has been hiding near Tokyo since he received the order to collect intelligence. When this time comes, it must be Tokyo Bianliang who is taking action. 】
[Sure enough, Zheng Tianshou, who was tired of the journey, came in, immediately knelt down on the ground, and said: "Brother Qi, that Emperor Daojun sent a large army of soldiers and horses, and they are planning to plot Qingzhou!"]
[You frowned and asked: "Whose general is this?"]
[Zheng Tianshou said: "According to my younger brother Fan Tianxi's detailed report, the four who came were Deng Zongbi, Xin Congzhong, Zhang Yinglei, and Tao Zhenting... These four led hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, gathered them in Tokyo, and killed them all." 】
[You heard the names of these four people and sneered - you have always hated certain characters in Dang Kou Zhi. If you meet them before the formation, you will definitely kill them quickly. 】
[After thinking for a while, you summon the generals to discuss countermeasures. Soon, the defense deployment against Qingzhou had taken shape. 】
[You ask Qin Ming to guard the west gate, Lu Zhishen to guard the south gate, Hua Rong to guard the north gate, Hu Yanzhuo, the most prudent, to guard the east gate, and Huang Xin, Han Tao, and Peng Qi to support you from all directions at any time. 】
[After hearing your arrangement, Qin Ming asked: "While we are guarding the city, where will my brother go?" You smiled and said: "I and Xu Jinqiang will go together to meet these four court generals for a while!" Qin Mingdao: "Since we are fighting in battle, we should have the rank of junior general! Why don't my brother defend the city instead of the junior general, and how about the junior general going to fight against the enemy general?" You waved your hand and said, "Now that the imperial army is coming, I want to come in the future. There is still a bad battle, I will take over this battle, and you will fight the big battles after that, so don’t worry!" After that, you did not wait for everyone to answer, and immediately ordered the tents to be dismissed, allowing everyone to prepare on their own. 】
