Seeing Xu Guanzhong and the six people talking about their origins and intentions, Cai Jing laughed like the old Maitreya in the temple, unable to close his mouth, and like the old abbot who met a wealthy official, he hurriedly invited the six people inside to talk in detail——
In the corner not far from the mansion door, Shi Qian retracted his head and said to Dai Zong: "The matter is done. Looking at the old thief's face, he is extremely happy."
Dai Zongqi said: "The residence of the old thief Cai has a high threshold for becoming famous. There must be a story for being so diligent."
The two looked at each other, walked around the alley, and came to a private gambling room not far away.
Shi Qian was familiar with this place when he came back to the capital. The people who came and went were all the guards and slaves of the nearby high gate compound. The adults of some families had been bribed by others, or the concubines of some families had had fornications. What a horseman, when these people are betting on their face, they will tell all kinds of secrets and make fun of them. In terms of well-informed information, even the Imperial City Secretary can't match them.
The two of them stayed inside for two or three hours, losing more than ten taels of silver. You blamed me, I blamed you, and each walked out with a pessimistic look on his face, cursing.
When I turned two streets, I saw no one around. They looked at each other and grinned at the same time.
The two of them found out the following news——
Gao Qiu died in battle, and what Liangshan did was that the leopard-headed and green-faced beasts that were persecuted by Gao Qiu came back to take revenge;
Liangshan claimed to be a bandit, but he was actually Murong Yanda's private soldier. This man was determined to restore his country and had worked hard for many years. Heroes such as Leopard Head were saved by him, so he was willing to serve;
Murong Yanda is dead, and Wang Qing, the king of Chu, has recovered Liangshan for his own use. When the time comes, two armies will attack Tokyo;
The officials sent Liu Yanqing, the general of the Western Army, to avenge Gao Qiu, but the soldiers had no fighting spirit. Liu Yanqing ordered his troops in the afternoon and almost blew up the camp. Quan Zhan had a man named Han Wu under his command who was amazing in martial arts and forcibly subdued the Forbidden Army generals. , dispatch troops around dawn tomorrow;
Wang Qing sent one hundred and eight masters to Bianjing to assassinate Cai Chi and kidnap the emperor's concubine to repay Tong Guan and Cai Jing for their past humiliation;
Tong Jiaoxiu, the daughter-in-law of Cai's parents, was angry at home. Someone heard her yelling: "You bastard, you have time to rob the emperor, why don't you rob me?"
Tong Guan requested an imperial edict to raise an army of 100,000 to attack Wang Qing, of which 20,000 were the imperial guards in Beijing.
Cai Jing claimed that the generals of the imperial army were incompetent and wanted to recommend six powerful generals who were invincible to serve under Tong Guan.
At this time, the city gate was closed, but the mere city wall could not stop the two of them. They thought of it, tied a horse to their legs, and quickly returned to the woods, telling the story like this.
Cao Cao said happily: "My plan is sold! Now that Wang Qing is alive, no one will bother Liangshan for a while. Well, since the six of them have successfully caught Cai Jing's eyes, it would be superfluous for me to go again. I happened to have met Han Wu before. , just find a way through Tongguan."
Immediately summon everyone and arrange the follow-up affairs one by one.
First, the generals in Liangshan were called to take Xu Ning, Zhou Ang, Dang Shiying, and Dang Shixiong back to the mountain. If they were willing to surrender, they would have other capable people to quietly move the young and old up the mountain.
He also asked Shi Xiu and Ou Peng to send Emperor Ji to Qingzhou Wu Mansion first, and let Hu Sanniang take care of her. When the news subsided, they might take her to Laizhou, or try to arrange for Shi Xiu to be sent to Qingzhou before dealing with her.
Although Shi Xiu is a little reluctant to leave, fortunately, Qinglai and Qingzhou are adjacent to each other. If he misses her, he can come and visit at any time.
Shi Wengong, Jiao Ting, Zhou Tong, Lu Fang, and Guo Sheng all had no choice but to return to Qingzhou after their assassination attempt on Cai Ji was exposed. They also fought with Sanniang's rouge horse, Cao Cao's armor, and big tree all the way. Bring back everything you see.
Although Shi Wengong and others were worried and could not resist Cao Cao's big ideas, they had no choice but to say goodbye.
At this time, only Shi Qian was left with Cao Cao. The two changed into civilian clothes. Cao Cao hung up the Yitian Sword, Shi Qian hung up an elephant-trunk soft knife, exchanged two variegated horses, and returned to Tokyo.
The next day, Liu Yanqing led an army of 10,000 people, but there was no trace of the Liangshan Army. He sent people to search everywhere. The forbidden troops complained: "This general is a good mother-in-law. It is not good for the enemy to leave, but he wants me to wait for chaos." Search, when the search came out, the boss was defeated again."
Han Shizhong was so angry that he wanted to use the barrel of his gun to draw it, but Liu Yanqing called him to stop him and said kindly: "You are right, everyone. In this case, I should do my best and go back to the city." Those Imperial Guards were happy. .
Liu Yanqing said to Han Shizhong privately: "It's not our disciples. They are all rotten goods. Why should we get angry with him? We pissed them off and seriously bombed the camp, but the Holy Spirit blamed us for our incompetence."
Han Shizhong sighed and said: "I heard that the few who killed Gao Qiu yesterday were originally the generals of the imperial court. The court and the army are capable. No wonder they all turned against them."
Liu Yanqing glared and shouted: "Shut up! How can you say such crazy things to this beast, you have no appetite? Let me tell you, Privy Tong's trip to suppress Wang Qing is a good opportunity for you to make a contribution! Killing these grassroots bandits is no better than killing party items. Is it easy to be a man? The emperor is personally watching over you. If you make great contributions, you don’t have to worry about getting ahead! Just kill the enemy with your own strength and take care of that bird’s mouth.”
Han Shizhong said with a smile: "I know in my heart that if it were someone else but the Lord in front of his face, I wouldn't let him even a fart."
Liu Yanqing said angrily: "Are you just farting on me?"
While talking, the group returned to Tokyo. According to the rules of the Forbidden Army, they reported that they had defeated the Liangshan Army. They all rushed to cross the river, half of them drowned, and the other half escaped with their lives and fled back to Liangshan. Zhao Guan's family was overjoyed when they heard this and praised: "The grass bandits are indeed vulnerable. It seems that Gao Qiu is indeed too incompetent. It's my fault that I indulge him too much."
They rewarded the officers and soldiers with wine and meat, rewarded Liu Yanqing with a lot of gold and silk, and promoted Han Shizhong to Baoyi Lang, which is the rank of the ninth rank.
Han Shizhong did not think he was happy, but kept laughing strangely: "I have been fighting hard with the Xixia people for more than ten years. I have beheaded many people and experienced many lives and deaths before I became a deputy lieutenant in Jinyi. Now I have falsely reported a meritorious service and actually got the rank of ninth-rank military officer." .”
In the Song Dynasty, the military rank was at the 60th level. Jinyi Deputy Lieutenant was at the 54th level, with no rank. Starting from the 52nd level, he was from the 9th level. Baoyi Lang was at the 50th level, with the 9th level. The highest level was the first-level Taiwei. Genuine second grade.
Hearing Han Shizhong speak like this, Liu Yanqing didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only scold him: "You are like dog meat that cannot be served on the table. Some of you are giving rewards and you are saying weird things." After that, he took out five taels of silver and threw it at Han Shizhong. Han Shizhong, Han Shizhong turned his hand to take it, laughed and said: "Thank you, General, for the reward! The young general just went to have a drink."
At this time, he and Liu Yanqing were both staying in the Forbidden Army barracks. According to his nature, he was a forthright person who loved making friends, but among the Forbidden Army, who could be seen by him because of the cowardly soldiers and generals? So a man left the military camp and wanted to find a place to drink.
After walking a few steps, I suddenly saw two short men, one short and stocky, the other short and thin, very eye-catching.
Among them, the short and stocky one was not tall, but he was very impressive. There was a lot of people around him, but people couldn't help but look at him. Han Shizhong felt something extraordinary. After taking a closer look, he immediately recognized that he was an acquaintance, and he was inviting him to drink. , Wu Zhi, who was visiting Fan Tower, was immediately overjoyed. He walked up and patted him on the shoulder: "Brother Wu, do you still recognize me, Old Han?"
Cao Cao came just for him, but at this moment he acted like he was surprised: "Oh, Han Wu! You are such a miserable slave! I got up to pay the bill the night before, and you actually called five sisters?"
Han Shizhong laughed loudly, with a scoundrel look on his face: "Since your brother is treating us, do you still think that the guests are big-hearted? I'm not looking at those five. I've used them all over and over again, but it's not a waste of your money!"
As he spoke, he tossed five taels of silver back and forth and said with a wicked smile: "Don't say that Old Han is unjust. Today I'm here to invite you. No matter how many wives Brother Wu wants, Han Wu will pay the bill."
As the saying goes: If you don't believe in the traitorous officials, Meng De's plans will be even more like a monster. Kick over the broken bucket and throw the vegetables over, prop up the new sky and pull out the knife.
The third party seeks votes for support!
