Breakout...or go up Liangshan?
On the evening of the second day of February in the eighth year of Xuanhe, when Zhao Kai dragged his tired body, escorted by two people with imperial equipment, from the front line of Zhanggong Embankment and returned to Yuncheng, he was thinking drowsily. How did you escape from the Yuncheng battlefield...
There is no way, this battle is going to be lost!
Zhao Kai stood on Zhanggong Embankment and thought for a whole day today, pondering over the Seven Martial Arts Books and the Four Art of War in his mind, but he couldn't think of a clever plan that could defeat the enemy.
The gold thieves now surrounding Yuncheng and Liangshanbo have overwhelming hard power! Regardless of whether they are attacking a city or fighting in the field, they have a great advantage. The only weakness is probably that he is not as good as the Liangshan water thieves in water battles... If Zhao Kai himself was not trapped in Liangshan, but Han Shizhong went to Liangshan, it would be nothing. The big deal is that the water is squinting on Liangshan. Can the Golden Thief's Eastern Route Army still be wasted in Liangshan?
But the problem is that Zhao Kai felt that Han Shizhong couldn't handle the civil servants around Liangshanbo (he really couldn't handle it), so he personally came to endorse his platform... but he accidentally got surrounded by gold thieves!
Although he can hide in Liangshan Mountain, he is the emperor! If there is no news about him, why would those faint-hearted officials in Kaifeng Mansion die in a hurry? If they recklessly send troops to rescue them, wouldn't they fall into the trap of the golden thieves who encircled the area and called for reinforcements?
There are hundreds of thousands of gold thieves around Liangshanbo now!
Even if Li Gang and Yu Wencuizhong could bring 200,000 to 300,000 rebel troops to Yuncheng, they would still have to defeat the golden thieves in one battle.
If the rebels in Kaifeng Mansion were defeated by gold thieves...how could Zhao Kai defend Kaifeng Mansion?
If Kaifeng Mansion disappears, how can Zhao Kai continue to be an official? After only a few days as an official, Kaifeng Mansion was taken away, and people surrounded Liangshan and couldn't get up and down. How can he command the world in the future?
But if Zhao Kai can't go to Liangshan, can he break through? It doesn't seem very reliable... Zhao Kai only has 10,000 cavalry on hand that can fight, but they are certainly no match for the 10,000 Jurchen Kaizi horses or the Iron Buddha.
And now there are hundreds of thousands of Jin soldiers around Liangshanbo. Once Zhao Kai's 10,000 cavalry are entangled by the Jin soldiers' Guaizima and Tiefutu, they will be destroyed when their large troops come up!
It took a lot of effort to get through the soul, and I became an official with a private "school beauty group". I am about to collapse without even enjoying it... This is too much of a loss, right?
When Zhao Kai was thinking about the possibility of death, he heard a clear and sweet female voice coming from somewhere.
"Guan Jia, you are back."
"Ah, I'm back. Is there anything to eat? I'm hungry..." Zhao Kai responded smoothly and asked for something to eat.
But as soon as he said these words, he suddenly felt something was wrong. That voice was not Guo Tiannu's!
Zhao Kai hurriedly looked up and found that he was standing in the courtyard of the Ximen Mansion where he lived these days. There was light rain falling in the sky, and the temperature was also very low, making him feel a chill.
At this moment, the door opened in front of her, and a delicate fragrance filled her nostrils. With her skirt swaying and her rings jingling, a beautiful and enchanting woman walked out of the door. She was none other than Sister Ximen.
Sister Ximen made a blessing ceremony to Zhao Kai and said with a smile: "Nu Nu Ximen Yunu, please greet me."
"Ah, do you know that I am the emperor?" Zhao Kai no longer concealed his identity, "Where is the goddess? Why is she not here?"
"Everyone, Sister Gao asked Nunu to serve you." Sister Ximen smiled sweetly, turned half sideways, raised her hand and pointed toward the door with her fan, "The bath water and snacks are ready... .”
Bath water? Zhao Kai looked at Sister Ximen with a very strange look on his face... Is he committing suicide? Why do you always provoke witches? I captured the Guo witch before, why did I recruit you, the Ximen witch, now?
Zhao Kai looked at the charming Ximen Witch and said in his heart: You are so frivolous, you are not a good monster at first glance. You might have a conspiracy. I must catch you and "torture" you!
Thinking of this, Zhao Kai looked around.
The two people guarding him are Daiyu, that is, Ouchi masters! They all worked in the Imperial City Department and were his confidants.
Now, with Zhao Kai's eyes, one person was wandering around in the yard, and the other entered the house. After a while, the man who entered the house came out again. Without saying anything, he and another person helped Zhao Kai take off his raincoat, then retreated to the courtyard gate and stood under the eaves.
Only then did Zhao Kai feel relieved and followed Sister Ximen into the house.
There was a big wooden barrel in the house. There was half a barrel of hot water in the barrel, which was steaming.
"Everyone, let Nunu serve you to take off your armor and undress!"
At this time, Sister Ximen had already arrived in front of Zhao Kai with a basin of snacks. She held the plate to her chest with both hands. She stared at Zhao Kai with eyes watering and she was embarrassed to speak.
When Zhao Kai saw this look, his heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate. This witch looked delicious! Otherwise...
No, I can't be so impatient! Reason in Zhao Kai's mind quickly took over. He thought: I have to eat something first so that I can have physical strength!
Also, where did Guo Yaonv go? Why did you give Sister Ximen the task of serving you? This is not what a good slave should do.
Thinking of this, he took the plate with one hand, took off the bamboo hat on his head with the other hand, and talled it up with Sister Ximen. Then he strode to an armchair and sat down. While eating the snacks and fruits on the plate, he asked: "Where is the goddess?" ?What did you say to her?"
Sister Ximen smiled lightly, she had put away her flirtatious charm and put on a dignified and elegant expression.
"To be honest, Nunu and Sister Gao said she could help you get out of your current predicament, so she gave you to Nunu..."
"Huh?" Zhao Kai's eyes widened and he thought to himself: What is going on? Did the script of "Jin Ping Mei" change instantly to "The Female General of the Yang Family"? You Ximen witch still wants to play Mu Guiying?
"Everyone," Sister Ximen looked at Zhao Kai deeply and said, "Nu Nu is here to speak to you on behalf of the heroes of Liang Shanbo today."
"Liangshan Po?" Zhao Kai murmured in a low voice, but thought in his heart: Is this a transfer to "Water Margin"?
"Can they help me?" Zhao Kai asked.
"Yes!" Sister Ximen said with a smile, "As long as they are willing to spend money and bring in the Yuncheng County, they can help everyone break out of the siege of the gold thieves and return to Kaifeng Mansion safely!"
"Really?" Zhao Kai's eyes lit up, "What can they do? Tell me quickly?"
When Sister Ximen saw Zhao Kai's expression, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva, her eyes showed a hint of foxiness again, her teeth gently bit her red lips, and she said with a half-smile, "We want to help you return to Kaifeng Mansion, then But we have to destroy our home...what will we do in the future?"
"I will give them a house in Kaifeng Mansion," Zhao Kai said immediately, "I will transfer their official positions and let them join the horizontal class!"
There is nothing more important than fighting back to Kaifeng Mansion now. Not to mention Hengban, even if he wants to be given a full-time official (Jiedu envoy, governor, etc.), Zhao Kai will not hesitate.
"What about Nunu?"
"You? I will make you the lady of the country! I will also give you a house in Kaifeng Mansion... and I can also give you a few shops!"
"I don't want it!"
Sister Ximen spat coquettishly, and with a wink, she said sweetly: "As soon as I see you, I can't express my love for you. I want to serve you like Sister Gao, even if I am a slave."
Zhao Kai looked at Sister Ximen's graceful figure and felt a little bit greedy. This must be because Zhao Kai's body is not good... there is too much human desire!
"Sister, you are different from the goddess of heaven," Zhao Kai thought about the word "law of heaven" in his mind, tried his best to suppress his overwhelming desire, and said to Sister Ximen with a smile, "She is the daughter of a sinner, and she was deprived of her official position and became a maid... ...You are a good man, and if you are invited to the palace with courtesy, you will at least be granted the title of Lady of the State."
"Everyone, I am just a commoner. How dare you think of the high position of a lady? I can be a palace maid and serve you every day. I will be satisfied."
Of course Sister Ximen is too young to say this... In the harem hierarchy of the Song Dynasty, the status of a state lady was not high, only above Shiyu, Hongxiapei, and county wives. Above the ladies of the country, there are talented people, beauties, concubines, concubines, noble concubines and empresses. Now that she has such a big bargaining chip, why should she change her title to a concubine or a noble concubine?
Zhao Kai also knew in his heart that Sister Ximen was evil and wanted to make a big profit... But now he was eager to escape from Yuncheng, what couldn't he allow?
"Forget it," Zhao Kai had already finished eating the snacks and fruits, and threw the plate on the coffee table next to him, "I will give you a concubine... When I return to Kaifeng, I will issue an order immediately! Don't you believe it? , I will give you the edict now!"
Sister Ximen smiled happily and without any hesitation, she knelt down in front of Zhao Kai, kowtowed and said, "I thank the Lord for your kindness."
"Ping Sheng!" Zhao Kai waved his hand and asked Sister Ximen to stand up.
Sister Ximen got up from the ground and no longer hid it, "To be honest, every family in the thirty-six families in Liangshan has several large boats worth 500 yuan. On the surface, they look like large boats, but in fact they are It’s very sturdy and comes with a bed crossbow!”
Zhao Kai's face showed joy, because he knew that the best way to return to Kaifeng Mansion was to take the water route, take Liangshan and enter the Wuzhang River, and then go to Kaifeng Mansion.
But to take this road, you must take a strong and capable warship!
Unexpectedly, those good Liangshan officials happened to have such a ship in their hands... Now they were saved!
"But there are at least 100,000 gold thieves outside Yuncheng County!" Zhao Kai frowned again, "Can we get out with 108 warships?"
Sister Ximen smiled and said: "Beyond everyone else, the officials in Liangshan have a clever trick... It has been raining these days, the water level in Liangshanbo is very high, and the terrain in Yuncheng is low. As long as Zhang Gongdi is broken, We can lead the water to flood Yuncheng! Although it won’t drown many gold thieves, it will definitely disturb them. This will give everyone a chance to fight out of Liangshan Po!"
