"My leg is not good anymore. I was interrupted when the government collects taxes. It is also a burden to transfer it. I have enough work early, so I am the only one."

"Ball, aren't you afraid of death? I'm the only one." Another old man in his sixties stood up.

In this way, a legion of more than 60 people was formed. He had no combat power, but could beat the war drums and shoot arrows.

Hu Yanzhuo was cautious and was still training troops outside the mountain, but the large army had already quietly evacuated.

Hu Yanzhuo was so angry that he took a lot of effort, but he grabbed some air.

"Send a probe to detect the enemy situation. Can such a large group of people disappear out of thin air?"

Han Tao sent someone to inquire, and this inquiry made me feel a little disappointed.

It has been half a month since they left, so it is hard to say how they left. Either they went north to the waters of Liangshan or went south. The Grand Canal came and went on the Grand Canal, and a large barge transported hundreds of people, and three thousand people would have to more than a dozen large ships.

The problem is that Hu Yanzhuo is not a detective, so where can I go to investigate and report it truthfully.

The Mangdang Mountain was successfully captured, and three fierce battles were fought, hundreds of enemies were annihilated, and hundreds of materials and flags were seized, but its main force was missing.

Four hundred miles in a hurry to report to the court, and at the same time sent to Cai Jing.

Cai Jing received it earlier than the imperial court. The next day, there were praises in the court, saying that the emperor was prosperous and prosperous, Cai Xiang and Gao Taiwei knew people and were good at responsibilities, and the bandits collapsed as soon as they arrived.

Everyone chose to ignore the last sentence of the main force.

Gao Qiu came out of the class and proposed: "Your Majesty, although Mangdang Mountain is flat, there are still bandits entrenched in Liangshan."

Ministers close to Gao Qiu agreed: "The bandits of Liangshan, Lin Chong, were so bold that he even dared to assassinate Taiwei Gao and must be wiped out."

The emperor was a little hesitant, saying he was stupid, but in fact he knew everything, and he wrote good words and good words.

Prefect Zhang once wrote a letter saying that the bandits who were docked in Liangshan were just a down-and-out scholar, and their followers were all farmers who were forced to have no way out by the government’s taxes.

Su Taiwei objected: "Your Majesty, God is a virtuous person. The bandits of the water are nothing more than a group of farmers who cannot afford to eat. They do not come out to attack the city. As for the assassination of Taiwei Gao, it is the personal grudge between Taiwei Gao and Lin Chong."

Gao Qiu was so angry that he wanted to hit someone. This Su Taiwei was so angry.

Don’t think that the court is so serious, and fighting and scolding is a common thing.

Gao Qiu suppressed his anger: "My fortune and life are just a trivial matter. The country of Song Dynasty is as heavy as Mount Tai. Lin Chong, as the instructor of the imperial guards, was well versed in the methods of training soldiers. The harm of the destruction of the grass was far greater than that of ordinary bandits. If he let it go, and when he struggled with hundreds of thousands of people, the Song Dynasty would be in danger."

"Gao Qiu, you are exaggerating. If you weren't your son to bully someone's wife, how could Lin Chong fall into trouble?"

The two gangs started arguing, and the emperor slapped the table: "Enough, this is the court, not the vegetable market. Lin Chong no longer can be bigger. He ordered Hu Yanzhuo's troops to go north to wipe out the waters of Liangshan, and to Dongping Prefecture, and Jeju Prefecture assisted in allocating food and grass."

The emperor made the conclusion and Hu Yanzhuo's army rushed north to drive the water to Liangshan.

There are several islands in Liangshan that are all in the water, but some are peninsulars. From Jeju to the north, you can attack the south of Liangshan.

However, the terrain of Shuibou Liangshan must be almost deep, with wetlands around it. The water is not deep enough to the ankles. If you step on it, the mud can reach the thighs.

Huyanzhuo's army headed north, and local officials along the way provided military rations and vegetables and transported supplies.

Some local officials took the opportunity to collect military salaries. Anyway, the people didn't know, so it was even more impossible to ask about the court when they went to Tokyo City.

As we headed north, the people were in great distress.

However, one thing is worthy of praise. Although Hu Yanzhuo is above the top, he is a descendant of a famous family. He cherishes his feathers very much. It is strictly forbidden to manage the army and harass the people.

Five days later, the army arrived fifty miles north of Jeju City, and camped for more than ten miles from Shuibo Liangshan.

In the Liangshan Juyi Hall, Wang Lun sat calmly on a high chair.

There is a black-robed military advisor next to him, which is mysterious.

Du Qian and Song Wan were on both sides.

Hu Yanzhuo's army headed north and the waters of Liangshan had already received news.

After more than a year of development, the number of people in Liangshan has reached an astonishing number, claiming to be 30,000, but in fact the number can be more than 7,000. Why can’t the outside world and nearby villages feel it? It’s because of the change in Liangshan’s strategy, which is to grow grain, raise goose and ducks, salvage aquatic products, and occasionally go out to rob, and each time there are specific goals.

Now the grain warehouse of Liangshan is full of water, and there are tens of thousands of geese and ducks. Even more, the fish are fat in autumn, so they are not short of food and drink at all.

The black-robed military advisor gave advice and arranged combat plans for Wang Lun.

Hu Yanzhuo did not rest for too long. Three days later, he left the iron armored cavalry to guard the camp and led 20,000 infantry to start the attack.

Zhang Fuyin and other civil servants from Jeju City came to deliver supplies.

Zhang Fuyin suggested: "General Huyan, there is a reed marsh ahead, so it is very easy to get lost. Don't do this. I will mobilize the strong men to harvest the reeds and then the general will attack again."

Hu Yanzhuo shook his hand: "No need, how capable is this bandit? The official is still waiting for the good news, and I will attack as soon as possible."

Zhang Fuyin is of a high level and a fourth-rank official, but Hu Yanzhuo is extraordinary, and he is arranged by the emperor and Cai Jing.

So he was so arrogant that he spoke and did things. Zhang Fuyin advised him kindly, but they didn't listen and there was nothing they could do.

Hu Yanzhuo insisted on advancing.

In front is an endless reed marsh, and the soldiers are divided into several ways to move forward.

Suddenly, more than a thousand minions blocked the way ahead. The door god of the leader, like a big man, held a big knife and did not ride a horse. He shouted: "The killer from Tokyo is here to come to the water to kill him. Go back quickly, otherwise this place will be your bone burial place."

Han Tao's nose was crooked: "I wish you a gangster who can have some ability and dare to say such big words."

The big man smiled and said, "It seems that you want to eat bows and arrows."

Immediately ordered a bow and arrow, but unfortunately the bows were all folk hunting bows, and their power was very small, and they were not powerful enough.

"The idea is hard, the wind is tight, and it's thrilling."

The big man led the minions to run away.

Han Tao waved his flag and said, "Chasing, you can't let them run away."

When the flag was waved, the soldiers fought bravely. These were all imperial guards from Tokyo. They were well-trained and brave in combat. Especially after the battle in Mangdang Mountain, they looked very despised by bandits.

Unconsciously, he chased into the depths of the reeds.

And I couldn't feel it at the beginning, but later I found it was broken and I couldn't tell the difference between the east, west, south and north.

The rocket fell like raindrops. Although the reeds were not completely dry during the Mid-Autumn Festival, they were already very easy to burn.

Suddenly, thick smoke rolled and fire rose.

Fire attack is the strongest attack in the period of cold weapons. The power of fire is not fire, but smoke. Once thick smoke is smoked, people will disappear, and the poison gas is very powerful.

Han Tao shouted: "Tear off the clothes, cover your mouth and nose with water. Retreat, retreat."

It’s better not to shout these two voices, as you can’t tell the difference between the east, west, south and north.

Now I can't tell the difference between shouting two times, and I run away randomly.

Peng Qi was also in a mess and could not find a way out.

The fire burned for more than two hours.

General Hu Yanzhuo easily escaped, but the infantry in front of him were in trouble and fell into the sea of ​​fire in pieces.

Hu Yanzhuo was anxious and shouted: "Prince Zhang, please help me to put out the fire and rescue the soldiers."

Zhang Fu Yin transferred the shangren. In order to prevent him from getting lost, he pulled the rope into the house. Min Zhuang covered his mouth and nose with a towel.

The fire of reeds burns quickly and extinguishes quickly.

The group went in to save the people, and one-third of the 20,000 infantry lost, and only 13,400 were still fine. The rest were already sleeping in the puddle.

Han Tao and Peng Yan's face were covered in dust, fortunately, they were fine.

Zhang Fuyin made a comment: "General Huyan, the terrain of Liangshan is complex, with mountains connected to mountains and water connected to water. It connects with mountains to the north. Go back and discuss it slowly."

Hu Yanzhuo had a step down and ordered his troops to withdraw his troops and return to the camp.

On the top of the mountain, Wang Lun looked at the thousands of officials in front of him who died in the fire, and shook his head helplessly: "I can't look back anymore, I can only walk one way to the dark."

The man in black had a cold voice: "Why, are you still thinking about surrendering to the court?"

Wang Lun quickly shook his hand: "I definitely won't."

"Remember, this is the change of the times. The Song Dynasty is already in decline, and the Liao Kingdom is also terminally ill. Once the Jin army goes south, the Song Dynasty is destroyed only at present. At that time, the world is in chaos and the heroes are competing for it. It is time for us to show up."

Wang Lun bowed and bowed: "Don't worry, I must be firm in my confidence."

"Yes, that's right. Tell the minions that after three years of service, each person will be divided into five acres of rice fields, including their wives and children, and how many children have they divided into several acres of land, and they will never break their promise."

"Okay, I get it."

In the evening, a grand bonfire party was held on the Golden Sand Beach of Liangshan.

In addition to the minions on duty, other minions gathered on the beach.

Wang Lun stood on the high platform.

"Have you ever thought about it, why can't we get two meals a day or two?"

Someone said: "Because we have no land, we have to pay rent and taxes. We are busy for a year, but we just eat braised vegetables."

"What would you do if your family had five acres of rice fields each?"
