Just when the imperial court had decided on the strategy for the conquest and the weather was getting warmer, Song Jiang also issued an order to recover the three prefectures of Ji, Mi, and Qingzhou before mid-March and complete the unification of Jingdong and East. The first one to start was Qingzhou. battle.
On this day, thousands of troops stood outside the capital of Qingzhou Zhizhi. At this time, Hu Yanzhuo was holding two steel whips and was fighting fiercely with a burly general holding a sword. Both sides came and went. There is quite a bit of fighting between dragons and tigers.
About forty rounds later, as Hu Yanzhuo's eyes moved and he screamed, he was almost hit by a sword. He quickly pulled the horse rope and fled towards the army, shouting: "Withdraw!!"
"Withdraw!!" Among the army, Han Wenyao also immediately ordered.
"Haha..." Seeing this scene, the burly warrior suddenly laughed mockingly.
"Okay, Yin Dutong is mighty." On the tower, looking at the right Xiaowei who retreated hastily, a middle-aged man wearing an official robe, but with a thick beard and a rough face, exuding the aura of a military commander, Excitedly said, it was Luo Zhiyong, the governor of Qingzhou who killed the Liangshan messenger and made Song Jiang furious.
Luo Zhiyong looked at the cheering soldiers on both sides and said loudly: "You have seen it! The Liangshan bandits seem to be powerful, but in fact they are just superficial. As long as our army can strengthen its will, we will definitely defeat the bandits and protect the rivers and mountains!!"
"yes!!"
Soon, in the government office lobby, when Luo Zhiyong and the generals walked in happily, several officials immediately greeted them and said, "Congratulations to Zhizhou on his great victory."
"Haha, this is Yin Dutong's extraordinary bravery." Luo Zhiyong happily praised Yin Wu, the Qingzhou military commander next to him, who defeated Hu Yanzhuo.
"Zhizhou is a reward," Yin Wu said with a hint of pride.
Seeing this scene, one of the several officials who greeted him, a man in his forties, with a short beard and a scholarly and elegant air, frowned slightly but did not say anything.
Soon, when everyone was discussing, an official clasped his fists slightly worriedly and said: "Zhizhou, although our army has temporarily defeated the bandits because of Yin Dutong's bravery, but now the Liangshan army has swept across Jingdong. If we, Qingzhou, continue to hold on, I'm afraid It won’t last long!!”
When Luo Zhiyong heard this, he smiled and said: "Don't worry, we Qingzhou people are strong and strong, how can we be trapped in the city by a group of thieves? Today, after a trial, we found that Liangshan is only what it seems. As the saying goes, we will be led by Yin Dutong tonight." If the army goes to attack the camp, it will definitely return with a full load. If this battle is won, it will definitely spread throughout Jingzhou. Many people with lofty ideals who are loyal to us in the Song Dynasty will definitely swarm up. Perhaps there is no need for a court to drive the bandits back to Liangshan. go!!"
"No, sir." The elegant man finally couldn't help but said: "Although Hu Yanzhuo is average in martial arts, he is a descendant of the founding general Hu Yanzan after all. He must be proficient in the use of troops. The risk of a night attack is too great. Well, it’s better to stick to the city.”
Hearing this, Luo Zhiyong frowned and shook his head: "Brother Zhao, you are too cautious and lead troops to fight. How can you not take risks? If you hesitate, when Liangshan mobilizes reinforcements again, our Qingzhou will be even more vulnerable." It’s dangerous. As for the famous generals, it was once that they fell down and joined the thieves, and they have long since lost the heroic spirit of their ancestors.”
"But.."
"Okay, Brother Zhao, I know you are sincere and gave up your leisurely life with your wife to come and help. However, you are worse than me in the paper, but not as good as me in the army!!"
The man was none other than Zhao Mingcheng, the husband of Li Qingzhao, the most talented woman of all time. He had lived in seclusion in Qingzhou since then. Although he had lost his official position, he had also escaped the whirlpool of power struggles. The couple devoted themselves to literature, epigraphy, calligraphy and painting every day, which was not the case. He was quite comfortable, but Liangshan was rising. Under the repeated invitations of Luo Zhiyong, the prefect of the state, Zhao Mingcheng could only serve as an official again with the belief of loyalty to the emperor.
However, looking at the arrogant Luo Zhiyong in front of him, Zhao Mingcheng was indeed a little worried. He was indeed not very good at military affairs and was addicted to calligraphy and painting, but he did understand that the most important thing when leading troops in war was to be cautious. This was just a small victory. Then forget about it, how can you achieve great success! !
In the afternoon, when Zhao Mingcheng returned to his small house, his face was a little solemn.
"Husband, what's wrong??" As a gentle voice came, I saw a man in green clothes with a beautiful and dignified manner. Although he was over thirty years old, he was still as beautiful as a jade lotus. The woman came out holding a book, especially her eyes were extremely clear, as if there was an epic flowing, and a spring of literature emerging. Although such a woman is not said to be the most beautiful woman in the world, she can remember it for a lifetime with just one glance.
It was Li Qingzhao, the most talented woman of all time.
After Zhao Mingcheng read it, he immediately told what happened today. Li Qingzhao frowned slightly and suddenly said seriously: "Husband, why don't you stop being the chief clerk?"
"did you mean??"
"Yin Dutong is indeed extraordinary in martial arts, but who is Hu Yanzhuo? He comes from a famous family and is a general of Liangshan. How could he be defeated so easily and lose his momentum? I think there is fraud in this!!"
Zhao Mingcheng was startled and seemed to understand something. He quickly said: "Then I will tell Zhizhou immediately."
"Husband, is it useful if you go?" Looking at Zhao Mingcheng who was about to leave, Li Qingzhao did not directly stop him, but shook his head and said.
Zhao Mingcheng shuddered and finally sighed. He was looked down upon today. If he revealed that Hu Yanzhuo was faking his defeat, not only would he not be taken seriously, but Yin Wu would be offended.
"Husband, I have already said that you should not be the chief administrator. Qingzhou cannot be defended. Luo Zhizhou is too confident. In addition, regardless of whether Song Jiang is ambitious or not, he is already the Jingdong Jiedushi entrusted by the imperial court. , nominally it is not Song Jiang who is causing trouble, but Luo Zhizhou! !"
"But Song Jiang was a bandit after all, and he looted Qingzhou back then."
"I think he seems different," Li Qingzhao said and handed over the book in his hand.
When Zhao Mingcheng saw it, he was instantly startled, "Where did Madam get this counter-letter??"
I saw that what Li Qingzhao handed over was none other than Liang Shanzhi.
"Husband, don't be nervous. I just want to take a look. As the saying goes, heroes do not care about their origins since ancient times. Whether Song Jiang is a bandit or a famous family, judging from the news Cong has received so far, he follows the path of benevolence and righteousness and has never killed people wantonly. On the contrary, He values talents and has descendants of the Chai family under his command, as well as descendants of famous prime ministers!!"
When Zhao Mingcheng, the descendant of the famous prime minister, heard this, he immediately said angrily: "Did Han Wenyao give this book to you?!"
Li Qingzhao looked at it and smiled bitterly: "It was indeed sent by Wen Yao. He wants us to stay at home, but I am not referring to him alone, but..."
"Okay" Zhao Mingcheng waved his hand and said with an angry look: "It seems that he has surrendered to the bandits. Fortunately, he is still a descendant of Prime Minister Han, which is really embarrassing!!"
Li Qingzhao frowned, but he still stepped forward and said warmly: "Husband, Wen Yao has been our friend for many years. Didn't I tell you earlier that although Wen Yao was born as a concubine, he was very knowledgeable and proficient in hundreds of schools of thought, but he is also really Because of this, his heart is too big. Although he hides it well, I have seen before that he has the ambition to reach the clouds. Although he is good, he is really not liked by me. What I like most is to study with you. Calligraphy and painting, reading through the collection of books, and we have been married for many years, don’t we have this little trust?”
At this moment, Li Qingzhao has not experienced the Jingkang disaster in his previous life, and has no hatred of the country and family, so what he pursues in his heart is peace, rather than seeing that Zhao Mingcheng was afraid of gold like a tiger and fled without a fight. At least countless people died tragically. The words left behind He lived as a great man and died as a ghost with his eternal patriotism.
When Zhao Mingcheng heard this, there was a hint of worry in his eyes, and after a slight hesitation, he said: "Since Zhizhou doesn't trust me, I will go and resign now, and we will leave tomorrow. How can my Zhao family, who has been a member of the Song Dynasty for generations, be a member of thieves and bandits!! "
Looking at Zhao Mingcheng who left after speaking, Li Qingzhao sighed.
. . . . . . . . . .
When night fell, shouts of killing could be heard outside Yidu City. At this moment, around a huge military camp, tens of thousands of Liangshan troops were surrounding and killing the Qingzhou soldiers who were heading for a night attack, and there was an endless stream of wailing sounds.
At this time, on a hill next to the military camp, Han Wenyao looked at the scene below with a hint of excitement in his eyes: "Qingzhao, we will meet again soon!!"
