…

Lingchuan County was destroyed.

However, the first contribution was not from Song Jiang, but from Liu Guangshi.

The good news written by Xin Xingzong himself is as follows:

...Liu Guangshi led the way to the city wall and seized the bandit's military flag. He killed Dong Cheng, the leader of Lingchuan County, Shen Ji, and opened the gate of Lingchuan County, and opened the army to the city to rescue the kind people who were entangled by the bandits, and took the first prize...

...Song Jiang and his subordinates are quite brave, and they suggest rewards and encouragement...

What is the truth?

The facts are actually similar to those reported by Xin Xingzong.

good.

It was the first city wall that Li Kui rushed up.

Then Qin Ming and Dong Ping and other generals from Erlong Mountain also rushed to the city wall.

But Li Kui only cares about fighting and doesn't know how to seize the flag at all. Qin Ming and Dong Ping understand, but after they rushed to the wall city, they fought to the death with the Jin army and had no chance to seize the flag at all.

Liu Guangshi chose the time too well, neither too late nor too late, just as the Jin army was about to collapse and rushed to the top of the city.

Liu Guangshi was too good at robbing the merits. After he stepped onto the city, he did not kill the enemy, but went straight to the opponent's military flag.

Under the escort of a group of personal guards who were like tigers and wolfs, Liu Guangshi rushed to Dong Cheng and Shen Ji without any danger. Then, while his personal guards were fighting with Dong Cheng and Shen Ji, he cut down the Jin army's flag with one knife, laying the victory, and then he sent Dong Cheng and Shen Ji, who were only left with breath by his personal guards, to the west one by one.

As for "Maoya opened the gate of Lingchuan County", it was just a rhetorical technique. At that time, the Jin army that lost the chief general had already fled in all directions. How could it be that Liu Guangshi could be stopped to open the gate?

Li Kui stopped him, but was knocked over to the ground by Liu Guangshi's personal guards.

In short, Liu Guangshi took away his first contribution. Three or four thousand people died in Erlong Mountain, two leaders were broken, one hundred and seven generals, and only one hundred and five were left. In the end, they all made wedding dresses for Liu Guangshi.

Afterwards, Li Kui, Qin Ming, Dong Ping and others were indignant and wanted to go to Xin Xingzong to argue, but were suppressed by Song Jiang.

After the generals left with unwillingness to leave, Song Jiang asked Wu Yong: "Military advisor, we will work hard, but we have no effect. Once or twice, I can still suppress it. If this happens every time, I am afraid that my brothers will rebel again. Then I will let down the trust of the officials and Su Taiwei, and I will have no choice but to apologize for death."

Wu Yong said: "This Xinxingzong is the second son of Xin Shuxian and Tong Guan's beloved general. He has a deep background and the Western Army has always been in contact with each other. It is not something that the brother can move, so he can only manage some things."

"Take some?" Song Jiang said.

Wu Yong said: "This Western Army can fight, but the military discipline is corrupt. I heard from my brothers that after they broke the city, they searched for the account materials. Otherwise, Geng Gong would not be able to capture the Dong Ping brothers. Therefore, if it was gold, silver and jewelry, it might have a good effect." After a pause, Wu Yong said: "In this battle, our Second Dragon Army suffered one-fifth casualties. If there is no supplement, if we fight a few more battles, our Second Dragon Army will be gone. Geng Gong is willing to surrender his brother. With him to help his brother recruit Tian Hu's men, our losses should be recovered, and perhaps more. But if Xin Xingzong nodded, we would not be qualified to surrender Geng Gong, let alone recruit surrendered soldiers."

Song Jiang was a minor official and had no burden for the affairs of the superiors and subordinates. He then said: "Those who accomplish great things do not care about the details. They prepare two gold, silver and jewelry for me, and I will go to see Xinxingzong in person."

It can be said that Song Jiang grew up very quickly. After only a few small losses, he found the law of survival in the officialdom.

With the way to gold, silver and jewelry, Xin Xingzong, who often said that "Song Jiang and others were originally thieves. Although they had made contributions to destroying the city, they could only redeem their previous crimes." Xin Xingzong changed his previous attitude and not only allowed Song Jiang to surrender Geng Gonghe and take down their surrendered soldiers to supplement the Second Dragon Army, but also rewarded Song Jiang and his gang after Song Jiang and others captured Gaoping County, so that Song Jiang finally got an official position as he wished - Chengxinlang (from the ninth rank). The many meritorious generals under Song Jiang also obtained some unranked military positions such as the deputy envoy of the Shou Que Jinyong, the deputy envoy of the Shou Que Jinyi, and the deputy envoy of the Shou Que Jinyi.

Although this result is not worth mentioning, it inspired Song Jiang and his gang.

Let’s stop talking.

In just over a dozen days, the Song army pushed it to the city of Gaizhou.

When Tian Hu learned that the Song army was progressing so quickly, he was a little anxious and asked, "The people who went to Fang La and Wang Qing to ask for help have not come back yet?"

Fang Xuedu said: "How can it be so fast? Not to mention that there are countless Song army intercepting messengers along the way, they cannot travel quickly. Even if the road is unobstructed, it will take more than ten days to go back and forth. Moreover, it is still the King of Kings. It takes more time to get to Kings Fang. Kings and Kings Fang make some preparations. In less than a month, they will not be able to send out a large army at all. Therefore, we cannot count on them for the time being and have to save ourselves."

Tian Hu asked: "How to save yourself?"

Fang Xuedu said: "Defend Gaizhou to the death. As long as Gaizhou is not lost, the Song army will not be able to divide the troops, and our great Jin Dynasty will be safe and sound."

Tian Hu's territory is steep and mountains are steep, and both sides are high mountains and ridges. The army is sad. Only by passing through Gaizhou can we choose to advance a variety of options.

Tian Hu said: "Then send another 30,000 troops to support Gaizhou, and transport another thousand flying thunder cannons, 20,000 flying thunder shells, and 20,000 sky-bombing thunders to Gaizhou. I want the Song army to never pass Gaizhou!"

Fang Xuedu said: "Although Niu Shumi is good at fighting, he will be unable to defeat his generals. It is better for the Wei minister to bring some good generals to help him."

Tian Hu said: "It's not appropriate. There are many generals around me, but the only one who may have made the decision is Taiwei."

Tian Hu did not value literati. Although there were a few literati who forced to plunder him to handle chores around him, these people were not willing to come, and secondly, Tian Hu did not value them. Therefore, Fang Xuedu was the only one who could help Tian Hu to make a decision.

Tian Hu said again: "Let's do this, I'll send Saburo to support Gaizhou, how about it?"

"this……"

Tian Biao's martial arts are one of the best among Tian Hu's generals. It can be said that Tian Hu's ability to have today was largely due to Tian Biao's help to conquer the world.

However, although Tian Biao has high martial arts skills, he has weaknesses - he is too impatient and has little planning, so Fang Xuedu is not very at ease.

But apart from Tian Biao, there is really no more suitable candidate. Therefore, Fang Xuedu instructed: "It is okay for the three kings to support him, but the king must instruct the three kings not to underestimate the enemy and advance rashly, and discuss with Shumi Niu for everything."

Tian Hu said: "The Grand Marshal doesn't need to worry. Sanlang has experienced dozens of battles and has never been defeated. I believe that he can defeat the Song army this time."

Fang Xuedu wanted to say: "In the past, all the opponents were the rural troops who ran away when they heard the news. This time, the opponent was the Western Army, which had been through many battles. How could it be the same?"

But when the words came to his mouth, Fang Xuedu swallowed them back. Tian Hu was the king after all, and Tian Biao was his younger brother. He said too much. With Tian Hu's character, he might hold a grudge against him.
