Chapter 729: The Second Court Attack

Liangshan won a great victory, and Lin Yi and Ning Keke ordered a banquet to celebrate the three days of celebration. After defeating the official army and capturing Hu Yanzhuo, Han Tao and Peng Qi alive, the troops of Liangshanbo officially entered the court's eyes.

The Liangshan River has attracted the attention of several powerful ministers such as Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Gao Qiu, etc. There is no way. More than 10,000 government troops and several generals have just arrived in Liangshan River and stopped the dishes in less than a day. These bandits are too strong!

The two powerful ministers of the dynasty, Cai Jing and Tong Guan, were very capable. Only Gao Qiu was able to please the Zhao official family in every way, and his ability and power were far inferior to Cai Jing and Tong Guan.

Cai Jing was the Grand Tutor of the dynasty and was known as the number one person in the Song Dynasty. He was in power and had no need to say.

Tong Guan was the chief of the official, and was in charge of the military power of the Song Dynasty for many years. He fought east and west, suppressed the border and suppressed the rebellion. He was like a great marshal of a country, with a high position as a minister, only under Cai Jing.

Compared with these two, Gao Qiu can only be considered a younger brother.

After Liangshanbo, Cai Jing sent the government office to ask the Privy Council officials to discuss important military affairs. Soon, Tong Guan, who served as Privy Councilor and controlled the military power of the court, led the three yamen Taiwei to the court to meet with Taishi Cai.

Cai Jing talked about the Liangshanbo incident and said, "What strategy will be used to defeat the bandits now?"

The combat effectiveness of the Liangshanbo soldiers and horses has made the Grand Master Cai worry. If he cannot destroy these bandits as soon as possible and let them continue, there will be endless troubles.

The officials looked at each other, each with fear. Hu Yanzhuo, Han Tao, and Peng Qi were both generals, not just a fictional reputation. They led more than 10,000 troops, but they had just arrived at the edge of Liangshan River and the whole army was wiped out in less than a day. In this case, who would dare to go?

The atmosphere fell silent for a moment, and there was a man behind the infantry commander who was the yamen defending the vassal of Baoyi, with his surname Xuan and his name as Zan, who was in charge of the troops.

This person has a face like the bottom of a pot, nostrils facing the sky, red beards rolled up, and eight feet tall, making his mouth with steel knives, and outstanding martial arts skills. He used to be a county horse in the royal palace, and people called it "ugly county horse."

Because he won the foreign general against Lianzhu Arrow, King Shao loved his martial arts and recruited him as a son-in-law. Who would have thought that the princess thought he was ugly and died with a grudge, so he was not allowed to use it. He was only a military guard.

Xuanzan came out and reported to Taishi Cai, "The young general had an acquaintance in his hometown. He was a descendant of the late Han Dynasty, a brave descendant of the King Wu'an, with a surname of Guan and a famous scenic spot. He was born similar to his ancestor Yun. He used a Qinglong Yanyue sword, which was called the "Big Sword Guan Sheng". When he was a inspector of Pudong, he was begged for the lower class. This man read military books at a young age, was well versed in martial arts, and had the courage of thousands of men. If he invited him with courtesy and became the general, he could clear the water camp, destroy the madmen, protect the country and the people. He beg for the order."

The descendant of Guan Yunchang!

This name is still very intimidating.

After hearing this, Cai Jing pondered for a moment, and nodded in agreement. At this time, Xuanzan dared to recommend this person, and this person had his own extraordinary points. He sent Xuanzan as an envoy to Pu Dongli to ask Guan Sheng to go to Beijing to discuss the plan.

All the officials retreated.

Guan Sheng is like Hu Yanzhuo at the time. He was very happy to receive the order, and making achievements is the dream of the general.

Guan Sheng recommended another person, and his brother "Jing Mu Bi" Hao Siwen, who had all kinds of martial arts skills. Because his mother had dreamed of Jing Mu Bi being reincarnated before he was pregnant with him, he was called Jing Mu Bi.

Guan Sheng and Hao Siwen immediately followed Xuan Zan to Tokyo to meet Cai Jing.

After Cai Jing took the exam for Guan Sheng, he ordered him to be a general and lead 20,000 elite troops from Hebei, and taught Hao Siwen and Xuanzan to be the government's vanguard. He also ordered the infantry general to receive food and grass, reward the three armies, and set off for a limited day.

Guan Sheng led his army to Liangshanpo.

At the same time, after discussing with Tong Guan, Cai Jing replaced several prefectures such as Jeju and Yunzhou around Liangshanbo with confidants as prefects, and transferred several generals and elite soldiers from other places to garrison these prefectures, forming a siege of Liangshanbo.

As soon as the imperial army moved, Liangshan Shuipo, which had done a very good intelligence system, got the news.

Liangshanbo, Juyi Hall.

Lin Yi and Ning Keke are in the main position, and the chief and deputy military advisors and leaders are located on the left and right of the hall.

Compared to the last time the imperial court invaded, this time, the leaders are no longer so depressed. In their opinion, the combat effectiveness of the imperial government army is just so. Isn’t that Hu Yanzhuo, Han Tao, and Peng Qi sitting next to them now?

The cavalry and infantry army of Liangshan alone easily defeated the official army. What's more, the biggest geographical advantage of Liangshan is the 800-mile waters. The Liangshan naval army won the official army without even fighting.

Despite this, the leaders did not dare to underestimate the court too much. After all, the Song Dynasty was a huge monster, and they were all citizens of the Song Dynasty.

Wu Yong, Gongsun Sheng, Chai Jin, Hu Yanzhuo and other long-term people were not so optimistic. They knew that the Song Dynasty was not so easy to mess with, especially Lu Zhishen, who was born in the Western Army, who knew that the more than 200,000 border troops were powerful and defeated the Western Xia Kingdom.

However, Lutige was not too worried. Although the Western Army was powerful and had many soldiers and widespread generals, there were no navy troops and could not travel across the 800-mile water.

Lin Yi asked Wu Yong: "Have you found out the news about the imperial army?"

The secret military advisor in charge of Liangshanpo nodded and said, "The imperial army had about 5,000 horse troops and 15,000 infantry troops, totaling more than 20,000. Guan Sheng was a descendant of Guan Yu, a famous general at the end of the Han Dynasty. He was proficient in military tactics and used a Qinglong Yanyue Sword, which was a brave man of thousands of men. He was originally an inspector of Pudong and was recommended to Cai Jing by Xuanzan."

After a pause, Wu Yong said again: "There are two pioneers under Guan Sheng's command. One is the 'jingmu bin' and the other is the 'ugly horse' Xuanzan, both of whom are skilled in martial arts and archery."

Lin Yi and Ning Keke nodded slightly. They knew these three people. Especially Guan Sheng, who was the fifth among the 100-8 generals in Liangshan, and also the five tiger generals of the horse army.

However, Guan Sheng has never been famous in the court army and the world, and almost no leaders here have heard of him. The "jingmuqian" Hao Siwen and the "ugly county horse" Xuanzan are not very famous.

At this time, Wu Yong said again: "Brother, according to the treasure hunt, Jeju, Yunzhou and several surrounding prefectures, there seem to be signs of military mobilization."

Lin Yi was slightly stunned. It seemed that the court attached great importance to Liangshan. He was preparing to encircle Liangshan in one fell swoop and annihilate Liangshan. In the Water Margin, Liangshan was not so arrogant. He annoyed the powerful minister, Taishi Cai, after attacking Daming Mansion. There was no way, Liang Zhongshu of Daming Mansion was Cai Jing's son-in-law. Liangshanpo captured Daming Mansion and cut off Liang Zhongshu's future. Cai Jing naturally couldn't bear it.
