The Song Dynasty has been deliberate for 16 years, only to know that it is the Water Margin

The autumn wind is bleak, the weather is cool, the vegetation is shaking and the dew turns to frost, and the swallows say goodbye and fly south.

Dark clouds are pressing down on the sky, and the sky is approaching dusk. The white horse is whistling wildly in the west wind, and the strong men are running through the clouds.

The Liangshan troops marched all the way to Xiakou Pass, and the cavalry army was separated as the vanguard. There were about 3,000 cavalry, led by Thunderbolt Fire Qin Ming and Double Whip Hu Yanzhuo.

There were originally five Liangshan Tiger Generals, but now only these two are left.

Immediately, Da Dao Guan Sheng, with astonishing combat power, was invincible on the battlefield. Against Tian Hu's generals, no one could match him. With a Qinglong Yanyue Dao, he was close to death. But in the end he died at the hands of Qiao Daoqing, the prime minister of Zuo on the opposite side.

Guan Sheng was a master in martial arts, but no one knew about Qiao Daoqing's specific level, which was very likely to surpass that of the master. However, Qiao Daoqing did not kill Guan Sheng in a horse fight. Guan Sheng was on horseback, and Qiao Daoqing was on foot. They actually killed Guan Sheng, which shows how talented he is in martial arts. amazing.

Lin Chong, on the other hand, took his wife Hu Sanniang and left after recruiting peace in Liangshan. He also killed many people sent by Song Jiang to pursue him. No one knows his specific whereabouts at the moment.

As for the two-gun general Dong Ping, it was Qiu Qiongying, the female general and Qiu Qiongying, Tian Hu's goddaughter and the princess of the Tian clan who was killed in front of the battle.

Dong Ping was a lecherous person with a jackal-like nature. He could be said to be an enhanced version of Wang Ying, the short-legged tiger, and Zhou Tong, the little bully. When he saw Qiong Ying, he immediately felt itchy and wanted to capture him. Qiong Ying happened to use it. He used a trick to lure him, then attacked him with flying rocks, knocked him off his horse, and then beheaded him.

At this point, only two of the five tiger generals are left, the thunderbolt fire Qin Ming and the double whip Hu Yanzhuo.

This Qin Ming was originally a general and an official appointed by the imperial court. He was known as "Thunderbolt Fire" because of his nature like fire. His ancestral home was in Kaizhou, behind the mountains. He was good at wielding a mace. When he was in command of the Qingzhou Army and Horses Division, he attacked Qingfeng Mountain. Due to Song Jiang's plan, he was homeless after being captured and had no choice but to surrender.

Qin Ming is a man with courage that no man can match. Song Jiang went to Qingfeng Village to seek refuge with Hua Rong, but was framed by Liu Gao, a civil servant in Qingfeng Village, and was arrested. Huang Xin from Sanshan Town escorted the two of them to Qingzhou. On the way to Qingzhou, Yanshun, Zheng Tianshou, Qingfeng Mountain, Wang Ying kidnapped the two of them.

Huang Xin sent someone to tell the Qingzhou magistrate about the situation, and the magistrate asked the Qingzhou Army and Horses Division to control Qin Ming for discussion. Qin Ming learned that Hua Rong had rebelled, and mobilized 500 men to arrest him.

Qin Ming was impatient and reckless, and he was brave and reckless. There was no difference between him and Hua Rong. However, he was ambushed by the opponent and lost his troops. He fell into a trap and was captured. He refused to surrender and still wanted to return to Qingzhou. As a result, he walked to the rubble field at night. He was framed by Song Jiang and burned and killed outside the city.

The prefect of Qingzhou fell into a trap and executed Qin Ming's family and ordered people to shoot Qin Ming with arrows. Qin Ming had no choice but to go back to the old road, but encountered Song Jiang and others. After several entanglements, he surrendered. Song Jiang wanted to give Qin Ming Ming apologized and took the initiative to marry Hua Rong's sister to Qin Ming as his wife. After that, Qin Ming went to Qingfeng Village to persuade his apprentice Huang Xin to surrender together.

Since then, Qin Ming and Hua Rong have become relatives, and the characters in their branch are all direct subordinates of Song Jiang.

The double whip Hu Yanzhuo is a little different from Qin Ming.

Hu Yanzhuo was nicknamed because the weapons were male and female tiger-eye whips, the female whip was twelve kilograms and the male whip was thirteen kilograms.

The twelve catties and thirteen catties of his whip are different from those in later generations. At this time, one catty was sixteen taels, which is the so-called half a catty and eight taels. Then twelve catties is about twenty catties in later generations.

He also has two treasures, one is the ancestral black oil seven-star chain armor, and the famous horse Tuxue Wuzui.

Hu Yanzhuo's identity before going to Liangshan was the commander of the capital of Runing County and an official of the imperial court. After being defeated and captured in the encirclement and suppression of Liangshan, he was surrendered by Song Jiang.

There was once a saying that Hu Yanzhuo was a traitor and did not really seek refuge in Liangshan. However, seeing that he was also thrown in front of Tianhu Formation for several years, the traitor's statement should not be true.

It is estimated that this statement spread because of Hu Yanzhuo's origins. He was indeed an extraordinary person and was a descendant of the famous founding general Hu Yanzan.

Although Hu Yanzan was not granted the title of king or commander, he had always been a close associate of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty. He had served in the three dynasties of Taizu, Taizong, and Zhenzong, and he had always been a close confidant of the Song Emperor.

Huyanzan gave birth to four sons, the most famous of whom was Huyanbixian, also known as Yanpixian.

Huyan Pi gave birth to two sons, Huyan Shouxin and Huyan Shouyong.

This Hu Yanzhuo is a descendant of Hu Yanshou Yong's lineage.

As for Hu Yanqing, the commander of the Dengzhou Ping Navy who once went to sea with Zhao Tao to the land of Liao and Jin Dynasties, he was of the Huyan Shouxin lineage.

According to the Huyan family, there are thirty-six ways of tiger whip technique and a chain of armor and horse formations. Hu Yanzhuo has mastered these two true traditions.

However, Song Jiang had many soldiers, generals, and talented people, and devised various conspiracies to defeat Hu Yanzhuo, captured him on top of Liangshan, and then surrendered.

Now they are the only two of the five tiger generals, and they are currently the highest combat power in the Liangshan lineage.

The remaining Xiao Li Guanghuarong and the vanguard Suo Chao are figures in the Eight Horse Cavalry.

As for Huang Xin, who was in Sanshan, he was a little weaker. He was a sixteen-year-old general.

The Eight Horsemen were originally supposed to be:

Xiao Li Guanghua Rong,

Golden Gunner Xu Ning,

Green-faced beast Yang Zhi,

Pioneer Suo Chao,

Zhang Qing, who has no feathered arrows,

Beautiful bearded male Zhu Tong,

Jiuwenlong Shijin,

He didn't stop Mu Hong.

At this moment, Zhang Qing, Zhu Tong, and Mu Hong are all dead. The remaining five, Xu Ning, Yang Zhi, and Shi Jin, are under Zhao Tao, while Hua Rong and Suo Chao are here in Song Jiang.

As for the sixteen small generals, they are Huang Xin from Zhensanshan, Chi Sunli from Wei Wei, Ma Xuanzan from Choujun, Hao Siwen from Jingmuyan, Han Tao from Baisheng, Peng Qi from Tianmu, Shan Tinggui from Shengshui, Wei Dingguo from Shenhuo, and Mo Ou Peng with golden wings, Deng Fei with fire eyes, Yan Shun with golden hair, Ma Lin with iron flute, Chen Da with jumping tiger, Yang Chun with white flower snake, Yang Lin with golden leopard, and Zhou Tong, the little overlord.

Now, of the sixteen people, only Huang Xin from Zhensanshan is left. There are five tigers, eight cavalry and sixteen soldiers. Liangshan's five tiger generals are complete, and the sixteen soldiers are also complete. Only the eight hussars are missing three because of Zhao Tan's intervention, Yang Zhi, Xu Ning and Shi Jin.

However, this actually did not have much impact on Liangshan. After all, Liangshan did not conquer Wang Qing, Fangla, or Liao Kingdom because of Zhao Yu. The only thing they did was to conquer Tian Hu. In fact, the total number of people left at this moment was less than If normal development continues, there will be more people left.

At this moment, there are still thirty-four people in Liangshan. Normally, there will not be so many when we go south and north to fight, and when we return to Tokyo, there will be even less after Song Jiang and other leaders are gone.

Three thousand cavalry were running hard, led by Qin Ming and Hu Yanzhuo. The two were originally at odds with each other. They had competed many times with each other, and they had similar official positions. Over the years, they had held their breath and did not speak to each other. .

Fan Rui and the other three naturally knew this, so they walked in the middle, separated the two, and then each said their own thing, which seemed quite funny.

It turns out that when they were in Liangshan, Fan Rui and Qin Ming had no contact with each other. After all, their identities were very different, their rankings were far away, and they were in charge of different things. Where could they come from a common discourse.

Qin Ming, Hu Yanzhuo, were originally officials, and Fan Rui were thieves since early on. They didn't get close to each other after they were recruited. The same was true when they faced off against Tian Hu.

But it was different now. Fan Rui and a few others had gone to King Qin first, so that's what happened.

How could Hu Yanzhuo of the Qin Ming Dynasty know Zhao Tong so little? His Highness the King of Qin has always been known to everyone. Who among the princes, grandsons, fishermen, woodcutter, farmers, and ordinary people in the market would not know the King of Qin?

Wen can bring peace to the world with his pen, and his military skills can control the world with his horse. Wen can bring peace to the country, and force can rule the country. The reputation of the kings of the Song and Qin Dynasties has always been powerful in all directions.

Since we are running away at this moment, we need to have something to talk about.

Hu Yanzhuo was easy to talk to. After all, his ancestors were close to the royal family. Hu Yanzan, the founder of the dynasty, was a famous general and served three officials of the Song Dynasty.

I think back then, when Emperor Taizong galloped wildly along the Gaoliang River, the donkey cart he relied on to escape the crisis was found by Hu Yanzan. How could ordinary people compare to this feat?

Hu Yanzhuo and Fan Rui Li Gun talked about the glory of their ancestors, and said that this generation could not repeat the same tradition as their ancestors and serve the officials again. Fan Rui and Li Gun knew what he was referring to, and couldn't help but feel envious, but Hu Yanzhuo did come from a famous family, so who was this? It's incomparable, not even to Song Jiang.

Qin Ming heard vaguely on the other end, and was naturally unhappy. Although he couldn't say how humble his background was, he was never such a good ancestor, and it was hard for him to shamelessly climb up, so he had to talk about some battle formations and martial arts, praise King Qin's contemporary military god, and He said that he had been secretly learning from the King of Qin to deploy troops for a long time. This time he took refuge, so he would humbly ask for advice. If the King of Qin was willing to give him a few pointers, he would be invincible on the battlefield and would be useful to him for the rest of his life.

Hu Yanzhuo sneered, then turned around and mentioned that his clan brother Hu Yanqing was actually friends with the King of Qin. A few years ago, they went to sea to do important things, and were attacked by pirates. They were trapped on a deserted island for several months. It is said that we share weal and woe, and we are considered friends of life and death!

Qin Ming couldn't help but change his face when he heard this. This was even worse than relying on the merits of his ancestors before. The tone clearly didn't sound like he was being fake, and he was actually a real friend.

For a moment, his guard suddenly broke down. He originally wanted to get what I wanted with just his hands, but suddenly he thought why he didn't come from a famous family, and he couldn't help but feel confused.

Fan Rui was in the middle listening to both sides talking, but he actually didn’t think there was any difference between Qin and Ming. After all, he was skilled in martial arts. After getting to know each other for a while, he knew that what King Qin cared about most was personal ability, not family background. As long as the ability is high, there is no need to worry. Don't you want to be reused?

But then Fan Rui thought that although Qin Ming was not bad in this regard, it was still a bit awkward. Qin Ming was Hua Rong's brother-in-law, Hua Rong was a direct descendant of Song Jiang, and Qin Ming was also a direct descendant of Song Jiang. The prince would definitely not Love these.

But Fan Rui was not willing to nudge Qin Ming's knuckles, he just played both sides, praising Hu Yanzhuo and praising Thunderbolt without offending anyone, which made both of them think that Fan Rui was a good person to make friends with.

As they were running and talking, they had already passed Huizhou and were heading north.

These three thousand cavalry are very fast. Of the seven or eight thousand soldiers under Song Jiang's command, half are cavalry, which is a very high proportion. Moreover, they are the kind of elite cavalry that have fought in hundreds of battles, which cannot be compared with ordinary elite military horses.

Zhao Tong's task for Fan Rui was to reach Song Jiang, then select the former army cavalry, quickly go north, and attack the Jingsai Army Division's troops.

As for the generals, they naturally need to be able to conquer battles and be strong and strong.

After all, there was no one else but Qin Ming and Hu Yanzhuo.

Hua Rong was also very skilled in martial arts and was the leader of the eight hussars, but his real strength was in bows and arrows, and he was definitely not as good as charging into battle.

Li Kui was also brave, but it was a pity that it was an infantry battle, but he was much weaker in a horse battle, and his riding skills were even worse.

Only people like Qin Ming can truly charge forward, move forward bravely, and with one move of the fang and stick, even thousands of troops can dare to go forward.

Song Jiang sent out all the cavalry. He originally wanted to send more heroic generals, but Fan Rui said no. The prince said that only these two people were enough, so he did not bring more people.

The soldiers and horses went straight to Mingsha City. None of these cities were lost. Xixia ignored them at all. Maybe it was too urgent. Neither the army from the Jingsai Army Division nor the team returning from the other side of the Yellow River attacked these cities. Go straight to Xiakou Pass.

Fan Rui led his men and horses to rest for a night in Mingsha City. Early the next morning, he first sent out exploration horses to find out the news in the direction of Xiakou Pass. Then he led the team slowly around the city and ran towards the east, far away from the Lingzhou River. area.

This Lingzhou River is a line where the Xiangqing Army and the Jingsai Army meet. It is named after Lingzhou, where the Xiangqing Army is located. It is close to the Yellow River, has several small tributaries, and some hills and hillsides, but the terrain is not the same. Not too sinister.

Their purpose was to go around and hide behind the static fortress army. When the opponent attacked Xiakou Pass, they would rush out directly and cooperate with the inside and outside of the city to defeat this army.

Although there are only three thousand people, it is enough for the Hundred Battle Elite Cavalry. In the case of a sneak attack from behind, they can kill enemies several times their own, especially in a situation where they are attacking from both sides. If it is too weak to the static blockage, then in this situation, it will basically defeat the opponent.

What's more, there are fierce generals here, Qin Ming and Hu Yanzhuo are both brave enough to be worthy of all men.

There are also infantry teams led by Song Jiang and others in the rear, all of which can guarantee the victory of this sneak attack and flanking attack.

You must know that the Jingsai Army is actually not as good as the previous team led by Brother Richard. It does not mean that the Xixia Frontier Army is not good, but that the situation in Xixia is exactly the opposite of that of the Song Dynasty.

The strongest in Xixia is the Xingqing Prefecture Forbidden Army, while in the Song Dynasty the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army is the weakest, and the Jingsai includes Jianing and Xiangyou Military Divisions. Most of the elites were sent to attack Xihe Road. Even if half of them came back from the other side of the Yellow River, after all, Not all of them, the other half are still strong and strong, which reduces the combat power. Many of the tens of thousands of people who are quite superior to Mang Feng are the old, weak, sick and disabled who are left behind.

Therefore, these three thousand Liangshan soldiers are of great use and will play a decisive role in the battlefield.

After leaving Mingsha City, we detoured back in two days and reported that we had found traces of the Xixia Army's camp dozens of miles ahead.

The Xixia army had stopped a hundred miles away from Xiakou Pass. Fan Rui and the other three knew about this situation. When they secretly went around from one side to the south to meet Song Jiang's team, the Xixia army and horses were still there, but disappeared at this time. It is very possible that They set up camp and attacked Xiakou Pass.

Fan Rui and Qin Ming Hu Yanzhuo explained the situation. The three of them discussed it for a while, led their troops and horses to explore the Xixia camp, and then led the team straight to the Xiakou Pass...
