Daming Prefecture, Lingzhou, Kouzhou, and Zengtou City troops soon arrived in Gaotang Prefecture. Qinbei Pavilion
"Haha, the reinforcements are here! They are all here! I want to see how Sun Lei died!"
Gao Lian saw tens of thousands of soldiers and horses gathered together and laughed arrogantly on the city wall. At this moment, he was no longer afraid of Liangshan Po Sun Lei. With these people, he could directly defeat Liangshan Po.
"Open the city gates! Open all the city gates for me!"
Gao Lian shouted to the soldiers guarding the city. He no longer had to huddle in the city to defend himself. He was not afraid at all even if Sun Lei came to kill him.
"Koh Prefecture, where is the thief?"
Li Cheng looked at Gao Lian and asked, the news he received was that the Liangshanbo thieves were besieging Gaotang Prefecture. How come it was calm after they arrived and there was no sign of the thieves?
"Li Dujian, the thieves were repelled by Lu Xianfeng and Song Xianfeng yesterday and retreated all the way to the distant mountains!"
Gao Lian pointed to the mountains in the distance and said with a smile. These words made Lu Junyi and Song Jiang look happy. Yesterday they were defeated for a while, and now they have become enemies. Gao Lian was speaking for them.
"A mere grass bandit actually needs so many soldiers to deal with it?"
Zeng Mi, the second eldest son of the Zeng family who was eight feet tall and had a dark face and long beard, looked at the group of people and said sarcastically.
Zeng Suo's words immediately offended all the officers and generals in front of him. Everyone was gathered here to eliminate thieves for the country, but why did some people say the opposite as soon as they came?
"Koh Prefecture, this is the second son of the Zeng family in Zengtou City."
Wei Dingguo whispered to Gao Lian.
Zeng Touchang, Zeng Nong, was over fifty years old and was originally a Jurchen. When he was young, he came to the Central Plains to do business in horses, mink skins, and ginseng, and accumulated tens of thousands of dollars in wealth. Because of his physical strength, he dominated the village and changed its name to Zengtou City, where he helped the court raise horses.
Zeng Nong was a foreigner who was tyrannical in the local area, and the government did not dare to offend him. Therefore, Zengtou City became more and more powerful, and it became more and more arrogant for a day or two.
When Gao Lian heard that it was Zeng Tou Shi, his expression softened a little. He had heard of Zeng Tou Shi's arrogance. Foreign barbarians didn't understand anything, but their martial arts and combat prowess were not bad. This time he recruited Zeng Tou Shi. However, the conditions for establishing a military state were set out.
Gao Lian has already asked Gao Qiu for instructions. As long as Zengtou City helps to destroy Sun Lei in Liangshan Po, Gao Qiu will write a letter to propose Zengtou City as a military prefecture, Zeng Nong as a military governor, and the rest of the Zeng family will serve in turn.
"How dare you, the Tibetan soldiers, speak such arrogant words?"
Gao Lian did not pursue the matter, but Li Cheng couldn't stand it. Seeing those people in Zengtou City with their shaved hair and money rat tails, and knowing that these were people of a foreign race, his tone became a little unkind.
Daming Mansion is an important town in the north that resists foreigners. Most of its generals and soldiers have been guarding the border in the north, and their hatred for foreigners is far beyond ordinary people.
Although this group of Jurchens had nominally surrendered to the Song Dynasty, their robes, hair accessories, and habits had not changed. They were just foreign Tibetan soldiers, and the Tibetan soldiers were the lowest existence in the Song Dynasty's military system.
"There are so many of you who can't do anything with a pool of water, and you still have the nerve to talk when you are huddled in the city!"
Zeng Suo did not restrain himself but spoke louder and louder.
"court death!"
After Li Cheng died, Suo Chao took the golden ax and was about to kill Zeng Nong.
"What did my second brother say wrong?"
Zeng Suo, the third son of the Zeng family, blocked Suo Chao's golden ax with three strands of the sky-holding fork. Suo Chao still wanted to use more force, but Zeng Suo's strength was not weak, so the two just held off.
Shi Wengong and Su Ding watched all this without any reaction. The Zeng family was strong and had many people. It had been so arrogant in recent years that even the state government could not control it.
The army behind Suo Chao was on alert, and the Zeng family also held down the crossbows on their saddles, looking ready to fight at any time.
This situation surprised Gao Lian, Song Jiang, Lu Junyi and others. They did not expect that a group of Tibetan soldiers in Zengtou City would dare to be so bold.
Among those present, in terms of official positions, Gao Lian, the prefect, was the most powerful.
When it comes to the right to speak, Li Cheng, the Military Supervisor of Daming Prefecture, is unequivocal. Daming Palace is one of the four capitals of Beijing, and the Military Supervisor has a very high status. Li Cheng and Wendana are Liang Zhongshu's right-hand men.
Even worse, there are the two generals of Lingzhou, Water and Fire, who are the training envoys of the state capital regiment.
"Director Li, my second brother made arrogant remarks, please forgive me!"
Just when the two sides were at war with each other, Zeng Tu, the boss of the Zeng family, cupped his fists at Li Cheng.
Li Cheng nodded slightly. Even if this matter was over, Suo Chao and Zeng Suo put away their weapons, and the troops of both sides returned to their respective teams.
"How dare Zeng Toushi speak to Li Cheng like this!"
Song Jiang thought quickly in his mind. Now it seems that his biggest competitor in this battle is not Lu Junyi, but Zengtou City. Moreover, all 6,000 people in Zengtou City are cavalry. This is the first time he has seen so many people. cavalry.
"Everyone, I have arranged the military camp. After settling in, I will hold a banquet at the government office to welcome the wind!"
Seeing that the atmosphere had eased, Gao Lian smiled and said to everyone.
"Master Prefect, my soldiers come from the countryside and are not familiar with etiquette. Please arrange some separate accommodation."
Zeng Tu looked at Gao Lian and cupped his fists.
"So that's it. I didn't think it through well. I went and cleared some private houses to place reinforcements from Zengtou City."
Gao Lian said to a Kongmu next to him.
Li Cheng, Suo Chao and others' eyes flashed with murderous intent. Zeng Tu didn't want to stay in the same military camp with them, so why would they want to live with Tibetan soldiers?
But now these words were spoken first by a low-level Tibetan soldier, which was somewhat provocative.
The banquet at the government office did not end until night, and everyone returned to the camp with their own thoughts.
"Xiao Yi, do you think we can take down Liangshan with so many soldiers and horses?"
Lu Junyi looked at Yan Qing and asked. Yan Qing seemed to yearn for Liangshan, which made him a little jealous. Why did his servant turn his elbows outward.
"Master, although there are many soldiers and horses, they are nothing but scattered sand."
Yan Qing shook her head and said.
"Why do you always say depressing words!"
Lu Junyi was a little angry.
"Master, Li Cheng used us as cannon fodder to explore the road; Song Jiang is full of bad ideas; Zengtou City is full of aliens, and the unruly behavior just now is what the master has seen with his own eyes; the two generals of water and fire in Lingzhou don't know what they are thinking; Gao Lian is sitting firmly now Diaoyutai. Even if there are more such armies, how can we win?"
Yan Qing looked at Lu Junyi and said, Lu Junyi is impulsive and arrogant. Sometimes he cannot listen to advice and cannot see current events clearly.
"It's just that there is no leader. If I can keep my word..."
Lu Junyi looked at the point steel gun in his hand and said coldly, "The reason why the army is scattered is because this time the army comes from all over the country, and no one has unified leadership. If he kills the generals in front of the formation and frightens the three armies, then the situation will be different."
"Master, today I saw Shi Wengong, a teacher from Zengtou City, looking at the master from time to time. I wonder if there is any conspiracy. Master, please be careful."
Yan Qing sighed and talked about other things, including Shi Wengong's scrutiny. As a bystander, Yan Qing could see this most clearly.
"Looking at me? You probably heard my name and were a little surprised."
But Lu Junyi didn't care. Why was Lu Junyi, the unparalleled jade unicorn in Hebei Province, afraid of being looked at?
"Master, I think that man has sharp eyesight and seems to have quite a lot of martial arts skills!"
Yan Qing reminded that he had also looked at Shi Wengong and felt that the man was very dangerous.
"Can you beat my steel gun?"
Lu Junyi smiled nonchalantly, picked up a piece of cloth and wiped the two-foot steel gun.
