"These are also what I captured. If you want them, you can go to Gao Qiu and teach you a trick. The Imperial Army is very easy to fight. It's good for you to provoke Gao Qiu more if you have nothing to do."
Sun Lei said with a smile.
Tian Hu wanted to hit someone after hearing this. He had just started to gain momentum, so he could just fight locally. If nothing happened, he would not dare to go to Tokyo to provoke Gao Qiu.
After the banquet was over, Sun Lei also learned about the situation in Hedong. Tian Hu arranged for Sun Lei to live on a small mountain peak.
"Brother, people like Tian Hu are really not enough!"
Li Zhu spoke to Sun Lei and said that Tian Hu's people were far worse than they expected. They were not worthy of being called an army at all, not even as good as bandits and bandits.
"It's not enough, but it can only be like this. Zhao Ji and the ministers of the past will not sit idly by as we expand our territory. We have defeated an army of 100,000, and now there are still 50,000 stationed in Puzhou. If I don't leave, , I’m afraid the Forbidden Army will come out in full force, hundreds of thousands of Forbidden Army, it’s not easy to stop them!”
Sun Lei said helplessly.
This was what he had discussed with Xiao Jiasui and Wen Huanzhang. Liang Shanbo had defeated the imperial court's 150,000 troops in a row. If this continued, the Song Dynasty was pissed off. With a million troops mobilized, even if Liang Shanbo could stop it, he would have to pay a heavy price. , then both sides will suffer losses, and they may be taken advantage of by the Liao Kingdom in the north or Fang La in the south of the Yangtze River.
Liang Shanbo is now expanding on a large scale, capturing a large number of prisoners, and its strength has increased several times. It will take time to digest these.
But Liangshanbo is now at the cusp of the storm. The four major bandits are rebelling, and Liangshanbo is the best fighter. People are afraid of being famous, and pigs are afraid of being strong. Now that Liangshanbo is famous and strong, he is really like the sun in the sky. It is difficult for people not to pay attention.
Liangshanbo urgently needed a huge cloud to cover him. In order to divert the attention of the court officers and soldiers, Sun Lei just came up with a bad idea. He escaped from the golden cicada shell and ran to Hedong to support Tian Hu, so that the court's eyes would not be on Liangshanbo.
Capture the thief first, capture the king first, everyone in the court will not understand this truth. No matter how powerful Liangshanbo is, he will only focus on one Sun Lei. As long as Sun Lei is dealt with, Liangshanbo will be leaderless and the birds and beasts will naturally disperse.
But it is not easy to leave Liangshanbo and go to Hedong. The court now knows how many spies are watching Liangshanbo. Sun Lei wants to leave quietly. It is not easy to divert the disaster to the west. Qingzhou Mansion and Li Qingzhao just gave Sun Lei a chance to escape.
Now everyone in the court should think that Sun Lei was fascinated by beauty, and they have put down their vigilance, and the speed of dispatching troops has also slowed down. By the time the court army is assembled, the news that Sun Lei is in Hedong should also spread. At that time, Tian Hu will bear all the pressure.
"Brother, Tian Hu and those people have fierce faces, I'm afraid they have evil intentions."
Tang Bin said, although Tian Hu's soldiers and horses are not worth mentioning, they have a lot of ulterior motives, and he may have the intention of using Liangshanbo to deal with the Western Army.
"Military advisor, what do you think we should do?"
Sun Lei looked at Xiao Jiasui and said, it's not that he has no way to refuse. It's not impossible for him and Tian Hu to cheat and not go out to fight. It's interesting enough that he and Tian Hu came in person, but in this way, his image of righteousness will be greatly improved. Damaged.
"Brother, we are going to fight, but we are not the only ones going to fight. We are just reinforcements and only containment."
Xiao Jiasui said with a smile.
"contain?"
Sun Lei touched his chin and thought.
"Fenyang is not interesting. If I want to go, I will go to Taiyuan!"
Sun Lei said, now the army of Zhongshi Dao is in Fenyang. There are only two ways to reach Qinyuan from Fenyang, Taiyuan and Linfen. Compared with the two, Taiyuan is naturally safer. If something happens, he can go directly to the east. Hebei, go back to Cangzhou.
"My brother means the same thing. Taiyuan Mansion is an important town in the east of the river. The city is high and the ditch is deep, so it is relatively easy to defend."
Xiao Jiasui said.
"I'm afraid Tian Hu doesn't want to!"
Sun An said, Taiyuan Mansion is easy to defend, everyone knows this, how could Tian Hu be willing to give up to Liangshan.
"There's no reason why he doesn't want to!"
Sun Lei smiled and said, Tian Hu is asking for something from him now. Some things cannot be decided by Tian Hu. It is easy to ask the gods but difficult to give them away. If Tian Hu dares to disagree, he will lead his army to live here and eat rich food. Eat until Tian Hu feels distressed.
"I want to go first!"
Lu Zhishen suddenly spoke.
"Want to meet Master Zhongdao?"
Sun Lei looked at Lu Zhishen and asked. Ever since he entered Hedong, Lu Zhishen has been a little depressed. This is completely different from the free and easy monk in the past. In the past, Lu Zhishen had a heart as big as the sky. Even if the sky fell, he could use it as a quilt. Here comes the King of Heaven. I also beat him with my fists.
"After all, he is the former commander!"
Lu Zhishen sighed. At this moment, he didn't look like the flower monk Lu Zhishen, but turned back to the original Kansai Ruda.
"It's okay to go, but safety must be ensured."
Sun Lei had no intention of stopping Lu Zhishen. The first half of Lu Zhishen's life was very vague. We only knew that he served in the Western Army, under the account of the Prime Minister of Laozhong Jinglue Mansion, and had served as an honest envoy to the Five Routes of Guanxi.
Later, Grand Master Souchong went to Weizhou to take office. Master Zhong was afraid that his younger brother would have no one to help him and had no confidants, so he transferred his subordinate Ruda.
From this point of view, Lu Zhishen can be regarded as a confidant of Zhongshi Dao, otherwise it would be impossible to send Lu Zhishen to help his own brother.
Sun Lei has never been a soldier, so it is difficult to understand what Lu Zhishen is thinking.
"Um!"
Lu Zhishen nodded.
"Forget it, I'll go with you! Why do you look like you're going to see your old father?"
Seeing Lu Zhishen's appearance, Sun Lei shook his head helplessly.
At night, Lu Zhishen sat alone in the yard drinking.
"Master Lu, when did you become sentimental?"
Sun Lei sat opposite Lu Zhishen and poured himself a bowl of wine.
"You do not know me……"
Lu Zhishen finished a bowl of wine in one gulp before sighing and speaking.
Lu Zhishen actually came from a military family, and he was considered an old man in the Zhong family army. By the time of Lu Zhishen's father's generation, the leader of the Zhong family army had already become a master.
During the Zhezong period, his attitude toward Xixia gradually became tougher, and he began to reuse the Zhong family army that had been fighting Xixia. He defeated Xixia and retreated step by step, and finally sued for peace.
But after Huizong came to power, he didn't like the steady and steady attitude of cultivating teachers, and instead focused on Tong Guan.
Tong Guan was fond of great achievements and liked to advance rashly. With the foundation of the Western Army, he was able to defeat Xixia, but the casualties would be great. Lu Zhishen's father died in a battle because of the rashness of the army.
When Zhong Shidao found out, he felt sorry for him. He was worried that Lu Zhishen would die in battle because of Tong Guan's adventurous tactics, so he kept Lu Zhishen by his side as an officer. He took good care of him during those years, and later assigned Lu Zhishen to help his younger brother Zhong Shizhong. , thinking about getting some experience before joining the army in the future, but he didn't expect that he would defeat Kansai with punches.
"Don't think so much. The most I can do is not let you fight with him."
Sun Lei looked at Lu Zhishen and said.
"This is not a matter of fighting. He has a favor with me, but to be clear, there is no mercy on the battlefield."
Lu Zhishen drank another large bowl of wine and said. (End of chapter)
