Chapter 290 Call for Rescue
Zeng Tu said: "Although the Liangshan bandits cannot be killed, being surrounded by them like this is not a solution. They must find a way to repel them. Otherwise, if they are surrounded for ten days and half a month, if the food is not transported in, we don't need to fight, and we will starve to death if we are hungry."
"Being trapped like this for a long time is not a solution. You really have to find a way to repel them."
Nahezan felt that Zeng Tu was right and said to Shi Wengong: "Teacher Shi, do you have any good strategies to resist the enemy?"
Shi Wengong said: "This battle just now caused us to lose more than 1,000 people. Although we can continue to replenish from the residents of Zengtou City, the newly replenished soldiers have limited combat power and cannot make up for the lack of power.
In addition, although there were only more than a thousand people coming to the Liangshan bandits, they didn’t know how many people were hidden in the secret. Moreover, their crossbow arrows are very powerful, not to mention the range of ordinary bows and arrows, and they have strong lethality. As long as they are hit by crossbow arrows, it is almost difficult for anyone to survive.
Therefore, if we attack rashly, we will only receive greater casualties.
Therefore, if you want to repel the Liangshan bandits, you have to go and invite reinforcements."
"Come to rescue soldiers!"
Nahezan said, "Where can we go to get a reinforcement?"
Shi Wengong said: "Lingzhou Prefecture, please send troops to the prefect. At that time, the government's troops attack the Liangshan bandits from outside. We will fight from inside and outside, and we can eliminate the Liangshan bandits in one fell swoop."
Na Hezan thought about it for a while and felt that this was the best way to think of now. He nodded his head and said, "Teacher Shi's method is good, but now it has been blocked by the Liangshan bandits all over the world. How can we move troops to Lingzhou Prefecture?"
Just as he was talking about this, someone came in outside and said, "Sir, the bandits of Liangshan retreated."
"What you said is true!" Nahezan asked hurriedly.
The report said, "Yes, but they shot this with arrows."
He took the Blood Book to Na Hezan. When he opened it, he looked so scared that his face changed rapidly, and his hands holding the Blood Book trembled.
When the Zeng Tuwu brothers saw Na Hezan's expression was panicked, they looked at each other, then stood up and walked over to take the blood book from Na Hezan's hand and looked at it. They were all so angry that their faces turned red.
"Damn Liangshan bandits, my Zeng family will be incompatible with you." Zeng Tu said furiously.
"Bandits in Liangshan, don't let me catch you again, otherwise you will be executed and scattered into pieces." Zeng Suo also gritted his teeth.
Nahezan waved his hand gently and said, "Stop talking about these things at this time, just go to Lingzhou Prefecture to move troops as soon as possible."
"Hasn't the Liangshan bandits retreated? Then we don't need to go to Lingzhou Prefecture to move troops." Lao Wu Zeng Sheng said.
Nahezan sneered and looked at him and said, "Didn't you see what the blood letter written on the Liangshan bandits gave us? "Put down Zengtou City, slaughtered all the Zeng family, and swear to avenge the leader Chao Gai." They came to avenge Chao Gai. Now that the great revenge has not been obtained, how could they leave? The so-called retreat now is just to confuse us, in order to let us relax our vigilance, and then suddenly kill us off guard.
If we don’t go to Lingzhou Prefecture to bring the reinforcements here, if we wait for them to come back, it will be too late.”
Shi Wengong nodded and said, "What the Lord said is that the bandits in Liangshan are full of tricks. They must have seen that they cannot attack forcefully, so they deliberately played this trick, hoping that we thought they had retreated, and then suddenly came back to break through Zengtou City to avenge Chao Gai. Therefore, we must immediately

Go to Lingzhou Prefecture to invite reinforcements to ensure that there is no trouble in Zengtou City.”
Zeng Mi said, "Then I will go to Lingzhou Prefecture to meet the magistrate and ask him to send troops to help us defeat the Liangshan bandits."
Shi Wengong said: "Second Young Master, don't be busy, be careful of the ambush of the Liangshan bandits. In my opinion, I should send someone to find out if they are really withdrawn. If there is nothing unusual, send someone who can speak. In this way, no accidents will cause us to suffer any losses."
Nahezan also considered this way, and then immediately asked Zeng Tu to send some people out for investigation and came back to report to them soon, and no large army horses were found within twenty miles.
"No one noticed where did these Liangshan bandits hide?" Zeng Tu said in confusion.
Shi Wengong said: "They will never go far. They must be hiding in a place near Zengtou City and observing us secretly, so we must not be careless. We must strictly prevent it day and night."
"Teacher Shi is right. The more calm he looks, the more careful he has to be, otherwise he will suffer a big loss." Nahezan said.
Shi Wengong thought for a while and said, "Sir, I have a plan to let our people arrive in Lingzhou safely."
"What kind of tricks do teachers of history have to say?" Nahezan said.
Shi Wengong said: "Zengtou City is trapped in many people from other places. We can let all of these people go out and let the people who report the news mix among them. Even if we encounter the Liangshan bandits, they will not be able to tell who ours is."
Nahe praised and said, "Teacher Shi is indeed resourceful. OK, just use this method."
Then he said to Zeng Tu, "Go and call Pang Tian."
Pang Tian is Nahezan's confidant, a few years younger than Nahezan. When Nahezan first came to the Song Dynasty from the Jin Dynasty, Pang Tian followed him, loyal to him, eloquent, and had a good eloquence. He had also visited the prefect for Lingzhou Prefecture before.
That's why Nahezan thought of sending him.
Shortly after the servants left, Pang Tian came and Nahezan said, "Old Pang, go to Lingzhou Prefecture immediately and tell the prefect that the Liangshan bandits were attacking Zengtou City. Please send troops to help defeat the bandits. If you come too late, you may be in a disaster."
"Yes, the villain sets off immediately." Pang Tian said.
Nahezan said: "No, you will be among those outsiders and leave together. If you meet someone from Liangshan in the middle, you will say you are doing a small business. Don't expose your true identity."
"The villain understands it." Pang Tian said.
Nahezan said, "Then you hurry up and prepare, and then leave with the outsiders."
"yes."
After Pang Tian went down, Nahezan immediately asked Zeng Mi to gather all the foreigners and send them out of Zengtou City.
Half an hour later, all the foreigners were gathered, and Pang Tian also got among the foreigners and was sent to the intersection of Zengtou City East Road. Then the people ran forward like crazy.
Because they were afraid that they would attack again when they met Liangshan people and suffered unpredictable disasters, they all wanted to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.
Because Pang Tian pretended to be a small business, in order not to attract attention, he neither rode a horse nor took a car, and walked forward with the people with a small bag.
After Hua Jue retreated thirty miles away, she said to Guan Sheng: "I'll go to Lingzhou Prefecture, and you will take these soldiers back to the valley camp to rest first."
"What are you going to Lingzhou Prefecture to do
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
" Guan Sheng asked.
Hua Ju smiled and said, "Go to find an internal partner who works with the outside."
Guan Sheng was confused and asked, "What does this mean by sir?"
Hua Ju waved from him, Guan Sheng stretched his head over, Hua Ju whispered to him, Guan Sheng was immediately happy and raised his thumbs up and said, "Sir, it will be easy for us to attack Zengtou City."
Hua Ju said: "When you go back, you will leave five hundred soldiers behind here. If anyone comes from Zengtou City, stop them and interrogate them. Remember, just interrogate them and then let them go.
In addition, when you come out to intercept people, don’t let all five hundred brothers come out together. Just one hundred people will be enough. The rest will be hidden in the forest. Then deliberately reveal to those who have been robbed that there are still thousands of people hidden in the forest."
Guan Sheng said: "Sir, this is to make the spies in the Zeng family think that we are deliberately trying to get, and they are more and more afraid to act rashly, and then they can help reinforce with peace of mind, so that your plan can be implemented smoothly."
Hua Ju smiled and said, "That's right."
"Don't worry, sir, I will definitely explain it to them clearly." Guan Sheng said.
"Then I'll leave the matter here to you."
After Hua Jue finished her explanation, she left with more than 20 guards beside her.
Guan Sheng called a battalion commander named Fang Jin, carefully ordered him, and then took the rest of the soldiers back to the valley camp.
"Everyone is immediately scattered and hiding in the forest. Without my orders, you are not allowed to come out." As soon as Guan Sheng left, Fang Jin said to the five hundred soldiers.
"yes."
Then, five hundred soldiers immediately hid in the woods.
About an hour later, many people came from Zengtou City. Fang Jin immediately asked a hundred soldiers to go out and stop them. When the people saw that the soldiers were holding weapons, they were all so scared that they were all crowded together.
Pang Tian was hiding in the middle of these people, constantly looking at Yu Hong and the woods on both sides, because he could feel that there were still people hiding in the woods.
"Are you people sent from Zengtou City?" Fang Jin's subordinate Yu Hong asked those people in a ferocious manner.
An old man in his sixties said, "No, no, we all came from other places. Because the heroes attacked Zengtou City, we were trapped inside. We just knew that the heroes had left, and Zengtou City let us out."
Yu Hong looked carefully among those people and said, "We Liangshan heroes do not kill innocent people. If you are really not from Zengtou City, we will let you go. But if you deceive us, don't blame us Liangshan heroes for being ruthless."
The old man said, "Hello, we really didn't lie to you. If we deceive you, you will make us lose all our money and we will have no objection."
Yu Hong interrogated these people one by one, then turned to the woods and said, "Chief, you have interrogated them. All of them are foreigners, not those sent by Zengtou City to relocate and rescue soldiers. What should I do?"
Fang Jin, the forest, said in a voice: "Since it's not from Zengtou City, let it go, otherwise the friends in the world will know that thousands of brothers in Liangshan bully a few innocent people, and they will be ridiculed by them. Let it go, let it go."
"yes."
Yu Hong turned around and said to those people, "Let's go."
"Thank you, thank you."
After thanking the people, they left in a hurry.
