Chapter 363
During the period, Wu Song asked: "When Song Jiang attacked the city, the prefect of Murong shouted that he knew that Hu Yanzhuo would rebel, but why?"
Hu Qian said: "Because I expected that this would not be the case, so I asked Mrs. Cao Zheng to inform Sanniang early, and asked Sanniang to try to inform the prefect of Murong."
Wu Song looked at Hu Sanniang, who nodded and said: "At that time, I was specially guarding outside his mansion, and when I saw the right moment, I shot the letter upstairs with a bow and arrow."
Hu Qian said: "In this way, Song Jiang's strength can be greatly damaged, otherwise our current strength is not enough to surround them."
Wu Song and Hu Sanniang raised their glasses and said: "Brother has a clever plan, the gods come down to earth, and great things can be accomplished!"
The three of them drank happily for a while, and when Hu Sanniang wanted to say more, Wu Song said: "It's getting late, don't delay my brother's rest."
After finishing speaking, he went directly to pull Hu Sanniang.
Seeing the expression in his eyes, Hu Sanniang couldn't help but her heart fluttered. She also remembered that the husband and wife hadn't been reunited for many days, so he dragged him back to the room.
Hu Qian was not idle here either. When he returned to his room, he saw Wu Yueniang, Meng Yulou, Sun Xue'e, Pang Chunmei, Li Ping'er, Xiaocui, and Pan Qiaoyun waiting there.
Seeing him coming in, everyone's expressions changed, and their bodies were a little unnatural.
Hu Qian didn't say much, just blew out the candles, and hugged several people in his arms.
One night of scenery, no more words.
The next day Hu Qian went out refreshed and inspected the city's defenses. He saw that Wu Song, Hu Yanzhuo, Lu Zhishen, and Li Zhong were already there commanding and drilling the cloth army and the horse army.
Although Wu Song has extraordinary martial arts skills, if he is to lead troops to fight, it must be Hu Yanzhuo.
Especially the minions of Erlong Mountain and Taohua Mountain, if they hadn't been trained by him, they would be just a bunch of mobs.
Seeing Hu Qian coming, Hu Yanzhuo, Wu Song and others stopped and went to see him.
Hu Qian said: "The four have worked hard."
Hu Yanzhuo said: "Brother, don't blame, these soldiers are weaker, so they train harder."
Hu Qian said: "Brother, it's right to sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in wartime."
Hu Yanzhuo exclaimed: "Brother's words are right, I admire you!"
"Are you and your family okay?"
"It's settled down, thank you brother for caring.
It's just that we practice day and night. If there is no war, it is just practice. Only when they really go to the battlefield can they transform. "
Hu Qian said: "Hurry up, once Qingzhou is lost, Song Ting must take action, and it will be about this time."
Hu Yanzhuo said: "Brother, don't worry, brother is new here, and he hasn't made an inch of merit. No matter who comes this time, brother will definitely take him down and repay brother's great kindness."
Wu Songdao: "You have won the first prize, so what should I do?"
Lu Zhishen said: "Brother, don't be biased. My Zen stick has not been sold for a few days, and now my forehand is very itchy."
Li Zhongdao: "Our brother is also new to my brother's tent, so we always have to do something."
Hu Qian said: "Don't worry, the world is big, and our road is long, step by step, there are many opportunities to make contributions."
At this time Sanniang Hu came and said, "Uncle, what is our next plan? In my opinion, it is better to kill Liangshan and kill all those thieves."
Hu Qian said: "Sanniang, don't joke.
Right now, of course, it is to stabilize the hard drive. Since Qingzhou has been chosen as its home, it is always necessary to manage this Qingzhou to the fullest.
It just so happened that you came, and now I order you to go out to appease the people and tell the people that starting today, the tax will be halved, and the sergeant must not violate the people. "
Hu Sanniang said: "If Uncle wants me to lead troops to fight, it's no problem, but I really don't care about these cumbersome things..."
Lu Zhishen said: "If my brother Jiu Wenlong Shi Jin and that magical military master Zhu Wu were here, they would definitely be able to handle these things with ease."
With a thought, Hu Qian asked, "Brother Shi Jin is still in Shaohua Mountain now?"
Lu Zhishen said: "Brother really has a clever plan. They are taking over the mountain and becoming king there. Besides him and Zhu Wu, there is Chen Da, the tiger that jumps over the ravine, and Yang Chun, the white snake."
Hu Qian said: "Since that's the case, why not persuade them to join the gang, on the one hand, the brothers get together, and on the other hand, we can hold great events together."
Lu Zhishen said: "Okay, then I'll go there myself."
Li Zhongdao: "Brother is alone on the road and has no one to take care of him. Brother will go with you."
Hu Qian said: "If my prediction is correct, Shi Jin might have been captured in Huazhou at this moment."
Lu Zhishen turned pale with shock, "How did brother know?"
"Nature is the art of predicting the future."
"so what should I do now?"
"There is a plan to save him, it depends on whether you can do it."
"Brother, just say, go up the mountain of knives, go down to the pan of oil, brother will definitely do it!"
Hu Qian said: "It's not that serious.
I watched the sky at night, Shi Jia Dalang was captured by Nahua Prefecture He Taishou because he vented his anger on others. Although it is not easy to rescue in the city, the emperor will send Su Taiwei to Xishan to offer incense in the near future. Will definitely go with you.
You just need to hide in the audience in advance, wait for the opportunity to come out, capture the prefect and the captain, use this as a threat, you will surely be able to rescue Shi Jia Dalang, as long as these two high officials are there, it is not difficult to escape. "
As soon as these words came out, Lu Zhishen, Hu Yanzhuo, and Li Zhong were all dumbfounded.
Although I knew that Hu Qian could pinch and count, I didn't expect it to be so detailed.
Even though it wasn't the first time I saw it, it was still shocking.
Lu Zhishen said: "Don't worry, brother, brother will definitely rescue Da Lang."
Hu Qian said: "In order not to be chased and killed by the officers and soldiers, you can go to Shaohua Mountain to meet Zhu Wu and the others first, and ask them to lead the troops from the headquarters to meet them outside the city, so as not to get out.
After the matter is completed, Shaohua Mountain can't wait any longer, go and return quickly. "
Lu Zhishen said: "Thank you brother, brother will go now."
Hu Qian said again: "Bring more money, it will be useful on the road."
Lu Zhishen and Li Zhong thanked Hu Qian again and left quickly.
Afterwards, Hu Qian ordered Hu Yanzhuo and Wu Song to rectify military affairs, and at the same time told Erlong Mountain and Taohua Mountain to prepare.
After a few days, I heard that Song Ting was furious because of Gao Lian's murder and loss of Qingzhou.
Especially Gao Qiu, furiously invited the Taoist emperor, and divided his troops into two groups, sending troops to Liangshan on the one hand and sending people to Qingzhou on the other.
Hu Qian said: "Who is going to attack Liangshan?"
Cao Zhengdao: "Tang De is a man named Xuan Zan, known as Chou Junma and another man named Hao Siwen.
The one who came to Qingzhou was the general recommended by Xuanzan, known as Dadao Guan Sheng, who was said to be the great-great-great-grandson of Emperor Guan Sheng, with high martial arts skills. "
Hu Qian was afraid of his thighs, "Good job!
If he was sent to Liangshan by Guan Sheng, he might be captured by Song Jiang, and now he is coming to Qingzhou, just to persuade him to surrender for my use. "
Hu Yanzhuo said: "Brother, what should we do?"
So Hu Qian called Hu Yanzhuo, Wu Song, Hu Sanniang and a dozen small bosses to the conference hall.
"When the victory comes, close the door for three days without fighting to frustrate his spirit, and then open the door to fight when he becomes restless. At that time, you are only allowed to lose, not to win. Lead him to pursue, and then let Yang Zhi and Zhou Tongbing fight. Divided into two ways, flanking left and right, it is inevitable
You won a big victory, don't hurt Guan Sheng's life then, I will save it for great use. "
So the soldiers mobilized their horses and waited for Guan Sheng to come.
But Guan Sheng is not a mediocre person. He knew that Qingzhou was joined by Liangshan, Erlongshan, Taohuashan, Baihushan and others in Daxia, and Hu Yanzhuo cooperated internally and externally, so he lost it.
So I was still on the road, so I asked everyone to be careful about Erlong Mountain and Peach Blossom Mountain.
It's just that if you want to fight Qingzhou, you have to be stationed between these three places. Otherwise, you will travel long distances.
In the early morning of the next day, Guan Sheng led the army to come, but instead of going out in full force as Hu Qian imagined, he actually divided his troops to guard the main roads leading to Erlong Mountain and Taohua Mountain.
Maybe they even set up an ambush, just waiting for help.
Hu Yanzhuo praised: "This Guan Sheng is really skilled in the art of war, which is admirable."
Hu Qian said: "Let's let him hang out for three days and then come back."
So people were guarded in the city, even though Guan Sheng yelled and scolded under the city, he ignored it.
For three days in a row, Guan Sheng didn't make any achievements. He wanted to attack Erlong Mountain and Taohua Mountain first, but the mountain road was rugged and the terrain was dangerous, so he sent troops to release the people in Qingzhou City.
So dare not act rashly.
Guan Sheng was originally the inspector of Pudong, the captain of the anti-theft brigade of the sixth and seventh ranks, with only a few hundred people under his command, thanks to Xuan Zan's recommendation, he was able to lead the army to the expedition.
If he didn't make meritorious service, after returning home, let alone a promotion, maybe the imperial court would punish him for being unfavorable in war, and even lose his original official position.
So eager to do meritorious service, seeing that the people in Qingzhou and the other two mountains are all behind closed doors, they can't help feeling impatient.
So he asked: "If Qingzhou soldiers can't retreat, what should we do?"
"The general might as well pretend to be a strong attack, lure the bandits down from the mountain, and at the same time ambush the soldiers on both sides of the mountain road in advance, wait for others to come down, and then wait for the opportunity to kill them. Even if they can't attack the city, they can still kill the bandits on the mountain.
After that, we will see how the people in his city react, and then act according to the camera. "
Guan Sheng applauded.
On the fourth day, they really used ladders and artillery to forcibly attack the city.
Hu Qian had already asked people to prepare rolling stones, wood, and hot oil bows and arrows. At this time, they all went on calling, and the city wall became a purgatory for a while.
Hu Yanzhuo and Wu Song said: "Brother, let's fight in Kaesong!"
Seeing Guan Sheng's actions, Hu Qian said, "This Guan Sheng was unwilling to move forward and only wanted to fight outside the city, but now he is attacking the city with such a large number of troops. It must be a fraud. Just wait for a while and see what he does." action."
Wu Songdao: "Afraid of what he will do, let's just kill the general and go out, and watch me catch his dog's head!"
Hu Qian said: "If we go out of the city, the brothers on the mountain will definitely follow after seeing it. If Guan Sheng lays an ambush on the mountain road, then the brothers on the mountain will suffer."
Hu Yanzhuo nodded and said, "Brother is thoughtful, I admire you."
Hu Qian said: "Let me see, if he is determined to attack the city, then we will go out of the city for a decisive battle. If it's just a small fight, it's not too late to ignore it."
After waiting for a while, Guan Sheng saw that he could not attack, so he stopped attacking.
Hu Qian said: "Sure enough, this guy is clearly playing tricks."
Hu Yanzhuo said: "In this case, let's stick to it for a while, anyway, he can't stay here for a long time."
Hu Qian said: "No, now you two are going to fight, first meet with him for a while."
Wu Song said happily: "Don't worry, brother, I'm going!"
Hu Yanzhuo hurried down to the city for fear of falling behind.
Hu Qian shouted from the city: "The thief will use his name!"
Guan Sheng shouted: "I am Guan Sheng with a big sword, what kind of bird are you!"
Hu Qian said with a smile: "I am Wu Dalang, the Hunshiming king! I advise you to surrender quickly to avoid death!"
Guan Sheng said angrily: "Thiefs! How dare you go out of the city to fight!"
Hu Qian said: "Why don't you dare!"
The gate of the city was opened immediately, and Wu Song and Hu Yanzhuo urged the horses to walk out of the city.
Seeing Guan Sheng, he was overjoyed. He waved the Qinglong Yanyue Saber in his hand and shouted: "You two thieves, report your name. I will not kill the unknown with my sword!"
Wu Song said: "Wu Song is the tiger-fighting hero in Jingyanggang!"
Hu Yanzhuo said: "I am Hu Yanzhuo with two whips!"
Guan Sheng stroked his beard and laughed loudly: "You two, one is a bandit hunter who came from nowhere! The other is a traitor with the imperial court on his back! How dare you appear in front of me!"
Hu Yanzhuo was furious, patted his horse forward, and shouted: "You dog thief! Speak wild words! Take your life!"
After speaking, he fought with Guan Sheng.
The two of them fought back and forth with knives and whips for fifty rounds, neither winning nor losing.
Wu Song met and came to fight together.
Seeing that Guan Sheng was about to lose his strength, Hu Qian shouted from the city: "Don't hesitate! Kill Guan Sheng!"
The two were startled, only to realize that they are only allowed to lose, not to win, and immediately put on the switch to win the big sword, and fled to the city in a hurry.
Guan Sheng suspected it was a trick, so he didn't pursue it!
Just yelling and cursing outside the city: "Two thieves, you don't know how to live or die! If you escape slowly, I will tell you to move your head!"
Wu Song and Hu Yanzhuo had never experienced such a bird's anger, and each of them wished to turn back immediately and rub Guan Sheng on the ground fiercely.
But Hu Qian said: "Very good, do it again like this, I'm not afraid that Guan Sheng won't fall into the trap."
On the one hand, he ordered to strengthen the city's defenses, and on the other hand, he ordered people to go out of the city by a small path and report to Erlong Mountain and Peach Blossom Mountain.
Yang Zhi and Li Zhong felt that something was wrong. Although Guan Sheng had people ambushed on both sides of the mountain road, in terms of understanding of the mountain, how could he be better than his brothers who had been here for many years on the two mountains.
So he carefully found out the danger, and waited for Hu Qian's army to dispatch, and then they would wipe out these ambush people.
Another day later, Guan Sheng was still challenging outside the city, Hu Yanzhuo and Wu Song were about to go out, Hu Qian said: "This time I will come!"
With the help of Wu Yueniang and the others in the past two days, he has practiced his supernatural powers so well, but he doesn't know how much he has improved, so he intends to meet this big sword Guan Sheng and try his own progress.
Wu Song and Hu Yanzhuo were taken aback.
"Brother is the head coach of the city, what should we do if something goes wrong!"
"That's right! Brother, it's better for the two of us to go!"
Hu Qian said: "If there is any mistake, you all go with me, just don't make a move."
The two laughed, rode their horses and followed Hu Qian out of the city.
When Guan Sheng saw Hu Qian, he was taken aback for a moment, and then he laughed and said, "I thought this guy who hit Qingzhou was some kind of person. How dare you call him the King of Hunshi with a cripple like you? It's just a joke."
Wu Song said angrily: "You dog thief! Don't use your tongue, take your life!"
After speaking, he rushed out directly.
After fighting for twenty rounds, Wu Song felt quite strenuous. It wasn't that he didn't win this round, it was just that he was not good at horse fighting.
When Hu Qian saw him, he patted his horse and went out, shouting: "Brother, step back! Watch me capture him!"
Although everyone said so, but Hu Qian really moved his mind this time - if he can capture this victory, the army outside will win without a fight.
However, it was only when he got there that he realized that Guan Sheng's supernatural power was no longer inferior to Wu Song and Lu Zhishen.
Coupled with the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, which is inch long and inch strong, Hu Qian could only barely parry it.
Especially the Tai'a sword in his hand, even though it is a precious sword, it looks like a toy when fighting on horseback, it can only be beaten and cannot hurt anyone.
Perhaps seeing Hu Qian's situation, Hu Yanzhuo also slapped him.
Only then did Hu Qian retreat, and after fighting for a while, Hu Qian shouted: "This bandit army is so powerful, retreat quickly!"
After speaking, they withdrew into the city without looking back. Although Hu Yanzhuo and Wu Song were a little reluctant, they also knew that this was a tactic, so they hurriedly withdrew.
Guan Sheng thought in his heart that if they escaped again, he might not be able to fight against the city in the future.
So he waved his sword: "Siege the city! Kill me!"
Six to 7000 people were killed together.
What Hu Qian was waiting for was this opportunity. The city gate opened, and two thousand soldiers lay in ambush on both sides of the city gate, just waiting for Guan Sheng to come over.
Seeing that something was wrong, Guan Sheng knew that there might be an ambush, but the horse had already charged up, and it was absolutely impossible to retreat.
However, as soon as they reached the moat, the war horses on both sides fell into the pit. At that time, arrows flew like raindrops on the city wall, and dozens of people died in the pit in an instant.
And in the middle of the suspension bridge, three rows of horse-repelling posts suddenly appeared at the gate of the city.
When Guan Sheng saw it, he patted the horse and used great force to push aside the horse-rejecting pile. He was about to move forward, but was stopped by Hu Yanzhuo and Wu Song.
The gate of the city was not big, and the three of them fought in one place, and the people behind could only stare blankly.
Guan Sheng was invincible with a one-on-two match, coupled with impetuousness, it was even more difficult to win for a while.
At this moment, they suddenly heard shouts in the distance. They thought it was the soldiers who ambushed Erlong Mountain and Taohua Mountain and returned victorious.
But looking back, it was they who escaped in embarrassment.
Yang Zhi and Li Zhonglai were killed from behind, and they started killing frantically from behind.
Guan Sheng's army couldn't look at each other from head to tail, so it was unknown how many people died.
Seeing him, Guan Sheng yelled, "Quick back! Get out!"
How could Hu Qian give him such an opportunity? He jumped up suddenly and cut off Guan Sheng's horse's leg with a sword. The horse fell to the ground, and Guan Sheng also fell off, and was caught by Hu Yanzhuo and Wu Song.
Hu Qian shouted loudly: "Guan Sheng has been defeated! Surrender without killing!"
After hearing this, Yang Zhi and Li Zhong shouted together, "Surrender without killing!"
Seeing Guan Sheng being captured, and seeing the officers and soldiers around him fall down one by one, they knew that if they struggled any longer, they would die, so they all threw down their weapons!
Hu Qian ordered Yang Zhi and Li Zhong to deal with the prisoners of war and the battlefield, and asked Wu Song and Hu Yanzhuo to take Guan Sheng to the magistrate's office.
Seeing Hu Qiangao sitting on top, Guan Sheng shouted: "If you want to kill, kill him, what kind of airs are you putting on!"
Hu Qian said: "You and I are the masters of each other. If it weren't for the tricks of fate, there is no need to fight."
Guan Sheng said: "What do you mean by that?"
Hu Qian stepped forward and untied the rope from him, "General Huwei, I dare not offend you, besides, I have long admired the general's name, but I have never had the chance to see him.
If the general doesn't think my Qingzhou city is small, why don't we just stay here and make a big deal together, wouldn't it be good. "
Guan Sheng said: "You want me to join the gang and become a bandit?"
Wu Song and Hu Yanzhuo's expressions changed, and when they were about to speak, Hu Qian waved his hands and said, "Why did the general say that we are bandits?"
"You kill and set fire, and fight against the government, what are you if you are not a bandit?"
Hu Qian said: "The general is familiar with military books, do you know how the world of this dynasty came to be?"
Guan Sheng was taken aback for a moment, speechless in a daze.
"This world was originally the world of Great Zhou, and Zhao Kuangyin got it from his orphans and widows, right?"
Guan Sheng was still speechless.
"According to the general's understanding, is Zhao Kuangyin a robber? Isn't he a bandit?
What's more, Xiao Xuanfeng Chai Jin, a descendant of the Great Zhou Dynasty, is still there, and he was bullied by Gao Lian of Gaotang Prefecture last time, not only killed Chai Jin's uncle, but also sent Chai Jin to prison, almost dead, it doesn't need to be a robber ?
If we are said to be thieves, then the Zhao family is a hundred times more shameless than us. The general worked his life for such people, how can he call others thieves! "
Guan Sheng couldn't say a word.
Hu Qian continued: "Let's not mention him about these things. No matter how reasonable I say, the general may not agree, but there is one thing that the general has to agree with."
"what's up?"
"The general is a descendant of Emperor Guan Shengdi, with a handsome appearance and extraordinary martial arts. It is reasonable to say that he should be a person who goes to and from the court and fights for the country, but he is an inspector in Pudong. Isn't it a waste of talent.
To take a step back, the general is now defeated, even if he lets you go back, it would be a crime of beheading. "
Guan Sheng's expression changed, and he didn't dare to think any further.
Hu Qian said: "In that case, why don't you stay? Although I am not talented, I have ambitions for the world. If I get the help of the general, I will be like a fish in water. In the future, the general will be appointed as a marquis and worship the minister. Wouldn't it be a good time to go through some inspections?"
Guan Sheng was shaken in his heart, hesitantly said: "But my wife and children..."
"Where is brother?"
Wu Song said: "Brother."
"Let Cao Zheng go to the general's house immediately, and bring his wife, Xiao Lianye, there must be no mistake."
After hearing this, Guan Sheng bowed his head and bowed, "From today on, Guan is willing to stand on the saddle for the eldest brother, and act like a dog and a horse!"
Hu Qian hurriedly ordered a grand banquet, Guan Sheng, Wu Song, Hu Yanzhuo, Yang Zhi, Zhou Tong, Hu Sanniang and other leaders all returned drunk.
And let people treat these prisoners well, and still put them under Guan Sheng's command.
Not a day later, Cao Zheng picked up Guan Sheng's wife and children, and since then he has become even more determined.
On this day, in the magistrate's yamen, Hu Qian, Guan Sheng, Wu Song, Hu Yanzhuo, Yang Zhi, Zhou Tong, and Hu Sanniang gathered together.
Talking about future plans, Hu Qian said: "Now that the Taoist emperor is fatuous and immoral, and the treacherous ministers in the court are in power, we don't need to do anything more. We just need to wait quietly, and the people will turn against each other one by one.
This is true for Fang La, Tian Hu, Wang Qing and others.
But we can't just watch them develop and grow, we must have our own plans. "
Wu Songdao: "Brother has something to say, just say it, we will obey your orders."
Hu Qian said: "Now we occupy Qingzhou, with Mizhou to the south and Dengzhou to the east. It is rich in products and has a large population. It is our must-have state capital.
As long as these two states are occupied, then our power can cover this corner, and there will be no worries in the southeast. "
Hu Yanzhuo said: "What brother said is very true, when will we start attacking the city?"
Hu Qian looked at Guan Sheng and said, "Brother, what's the plan?"
Guan Sheng said: "Dengzhou is far away, and there are many variables. It is better to attack Mizhou first, so that the door to the east can be sealed. If you don't go to Dengzhou, you will become a turtle in a urn. You can take it whenever you want."
Hu Qian nodded, "Brother's words are exactly what I want."
Yang Zhi said: "Then shall we set off now?"
Hu Qian said: "Don't worry, now that several soldiers and horses have just joined together, they haven't been properly trained, and if they attack rashly, their command will inevitably be chaotic, and their combat power will not even be as good as before.
What's more, Song Ting is wary of us now, maybe the surrounding prefectures are guarding against us, we need to find a suitable time. "
Hu Sanniang said: "Please do the calculation, Uncle, where is the timing?"
Guan Sheng was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "Do you still know how to do divination?"
Wu Song, Hu Yanzhuo and the others smiled at each other, "You will gradually know about this. Big brother not only has the supernatural power of prophecy, even if his head is severed, it can grow back without injury."
Guan Sheng was so shocked that he couldn't speak, so he just thought Wu Song and the others were joking.
Hu Qian said: "If my prediction is correct, Liangshan can resist Song Ting's attack this time by virtue of its terrain, but Chao Gai will die in a few days."
Guan Sheng was taken aback, "Chao Gai is the Lord of Liangshan, how did he die?"
Hu Qian said: "I think there is some grievance with Zengtou City, and Zengtou City will be shot to death by an arrow."
Guan Sheng was taken aback, and asked, "This... Could it be that this incident has already happened, but I didn't know it? Otherwise, how could my brother calculate so accurately."
Yang Zhidao: "Don't say you don't believe it, I didn't believe it at first, but later everything my brother said came true, so it's not surprising."
Hu Yanzhuo said: "This is indeed true. At the beginning, my elder brother even knew exactly what Song Jiang was going to say to me. I can't accept it."
Hu Qian didn't pay attention to these people, but continued: "There is one more thing, Song Jiang has always wanted to earn money from Hebei jade unicorn Lu Junyi to go up the mountain, but there is no chance, this time he will definitely do it.
It's just that the Daming Mansion in Hebei is not an easy place to enter. If I watch the sky at night, Lu Junyi will definitely be in prison, and Song Jiang and others will send troops to attack the Daming Mansion in BJ.
This is our chance. "
Hu Sanniang said: "It's Zengtou City and Daming Mansion. Song Jiang's troops are limited. How can he attack these two places at the same time?"
Hu Qian said: "Of course not.
Once Chao Gai died, Song Jiang and others would definitely watch for him during the day, and then they would definitely attack the Daming Mansion first, and then take Zengtou City. "
Zhou Tongdao: "Brother, what you mean is that we can take Mizhou while they are attacking Daming Mansion."
Hu Qian nodded, "Liang Zhongshu of the famous mansion is Cai Taishi's son-in-law. Brother Yang knows this best."
Yang Zhi shook his head and said: "At the beginning, I escorted Liang Zhongshu's birthday outline to Taishi Cai in Tokyo, but Huangnigang was robbed by Chao Gai and others, so it fell into the grass.
When it comes to Liang Zhongshu, I am naturally the clearest. "
Hu Qian said: "When Liangshan goes to attack the Daming Mansion, Cai Jing will definitely send troops to rescue his son-in-law. Then we will have no time to take care of him, so we will take advantage of the situation to take Mizhou."
Guan Sheng said: "Brother is very calculating! This is exactly the reason!"
Hu Qian said: "Although the timing is good, you have to be fully prepared."
So Guan Sheng, Hu Yanzhuo and Wu Song were ordered to train the sergeants. Yang Zhi and Zhou Tong still went back to the mountain to guard Qingzhou, so as not to be surrounded by people and unable to move, and Cao Zheng was asked to inquire more about Mizhou.
Hu Sanniang was in charge of money and food accounts, and she was very upset because she only wanted Lu Zhishen to bring Shi Jin, Zhu Wu and others back as soon as possible.
Several people are very busy every day, and Hu Qian is also busy.
The previous battle with Guan Sheng made him understand his own shortcomings.
Although it has made a lot of progress, it is still a bit short compared to this top combat power.
Especially in terms of strength, it may have something to do with the short stature of this Wuhan University, but Wu Yueniang and the others are very satisfied. Anyway, life now is similar to that in Yanggu County, with no worries about food and clothing every day, and endless gold and silver.
What's more, now that Hu Qian is seeing his career start, if he can really achieve a hegemony, maybe a few daughters will become imperial concubines in the future.
Thinking about it, I was still very excited, so I served more attentively every night, thinking of ways to please Hu Qian.
After waiting for a long time, I heard that Chao Gai was attacking Zengtou City because of the seizure of his BMW. As a result, he was shot by Shi Wengong with an arrow, and he died not long after.
Hu Qian took this opportunity to gather a group of people in the city to discuss.
Guan Sheng first bowed and said: "Brother is really a god! I admire you very much!"
Hu Yanzhuo said: "I told you earlier, you just didn't believe it."
Guan Sheng smiled and said, "I'll believe it this time. With such supernatural powers, why worry about nothing happening!"
Hu Qian nodded, and asked everyone to gather all the news they heard, and study the subsequent trends.
Yang Zhidao: "The cottage is still practicing every day, just waiting for the order of the eldest brother."
Zhou Tongdao: "It's the same with the little brother, everyone just waits for the big brother to give orders."
Cao Zhengdao: "My little brother found out that Mizhou is a fortified city, but because of the previous Fangla army's harassment, the army has all gone to the south of the Yangtze River to put down Fangla's rebellion, so there are only [-] defenders in the city. The prefect's name is Li Qiangang, and he is quite capable."
Hu Qian shook his head, "If there is only this information, it is far from enough. If you know more details, you may be able to win without fighting and avoid using weapons. It is also for the benefit of the people in the city."
Cao Zhengdao: "Brother, don't worry, little brother will go to investigate."
Hu Qian said: "Investigation is a big matter, but you must also pay attention to your own safety. Compared with a small Mizhou, I don't want to lose my brother."
Cao Zheng was stunned for a moment, and bowed his head, "Brother Gao Yi, and younger brother, I will go through fire and water, and I will not hesitate to do so."
After waiting for a few more days, Hu Qian said, "I'm going to Daming Mansion, and I need someone to follow me."
Wu Songdao: "Brother, I will go with you."
Hu Qian said: "The two of us are still on the court's most wanted list, so it's not good to go out together."
He looked at Guan Sheng, Hu Yanzhuo, and Yang Zhi, all of them were men of seven or eight feet in height, and they were all handsome figures, they were too conspicuous.
If you take Wu Yueniang and the others there, they won't be able to help you if something happens to you.
Hu Sanniang said: "Uncle, why don't I go with you."
Hu Qian shook his head.
Now that Hu Sanniang is Wu Song's wife, it's really inappropriate for them to go out together.
After much hesitation, he decided to take Meng Yulou and Pang Chunmei with him.
First of all, Pang Chunmei has always been a little clever, and if she encounters interrogation or something, she can also help to cover up.
It's just that Hu Qian's height is a flaw. Everyone knows that Wu Dalang from Yanggu County is a three-inch man. It would be dangerous if he covered it up.
Guan Sheng said: "What is brother going to the Daming Mansion for?"
Hu Qian said: "The jade unicorn Lu Junyi is indeed a character, I don't want him to fall into Song Jiang's hands."
Wu Songdao: "In that case, I'll go alone and persuade him to join the group."
Hu Qian shook his head, "You don't know the cause and effect. If you go, not only will you not be able to persuade you to come, but it may have the opposite effect."
The plan has been decided, Hu Qian asked Wu Song and others to guard the city strictly, if someone comes to attack, don't attack recklessly, wait until you come back.
Afterwards, he disguised himself as a coachman, Meng Yulou as a visiting lady, and Pang Chunmei as her maid.
All the way to the west, not a day to BJ City.
I thought there would be a rigorous interrogation, but when I arrived at the city gate, nothing happened.
Hu Qian and the others first found an inn to stay, and while talking to the clerk, they found out where Lu Junyi lived.
It's just that Lu Junyi's family is not so easy to advance, and I don't know if Wu Yong and Li Kui are here.
After much deliberation, he could only approach quietly while Lu Junyi was out.
After waiting for a few days, when he was drinking tea not far from Lu Junyi's house, he saw a handsome man and a handsome boy coming out.
When others saw it, they immediately cupped their hands and said, "Mr. Lu."
He heard people around him say again: "Mr. Lu is probably going to find someone to practice martial arts again."
"I don't care about the pretty lady at home, what kind of guns are you going to practice?"
"Don't talk nonsense, lest you be heard."
At this time, Hu Qian had already confirmed that the man was Lu Junyi, so he quietly followed.
Before he had gone far, Lu Junyi suddenly turned his head and said, "Who are you? You have been following Hou Man furtively since just now. What is your intention?"
Hu Qian said: "Don't worry, I'm here to save your life."
"Save my life? Who wants to kill me?"
"Liang Zhongshu of the famous mansion and Liang Shanshuipo Song Jiang both want to harm you."
Lu Junyi originally thought that he was just talking nonsense to cheat a few small money, but when he heard these two names, he was immediately taken aback.
"what are you talking about!"
Hu Qian said: "If you want to know the details, you might as well come with me."
Yan Qing said: "Master, don't listen to his nonsense!"
Lu Junyi said: "Just follow up and see what he said. If it's not true, it won't be too late to deal with it."
So the three of them went to a restaurant one after the other, and after entering the private room, Hu Qian invited them to sit down.
Dang first cupped his hands and said: "Don't blame the outsiders, I am a wanted man by the court, so I can't say it clearly."
Lu Junyi was taken aback again, and asked: "What do you mean by what you just said! If you tell the truth, I will leave!"
Hu Qian said: "Although Yuanwai is well-known in this Daming Mansion, there are actually many people who secretly regard Yuanwai as a thorn in their side, and Liang Zhongshu is one of them.
It's just that he hasn't got the disadvantages of being a member, so he can't attack it. "
Even if Hu Qian didn't say this, Lu Junyi could feel it himself.
After all, his family has a big business, and there are always many things that will collide with Liang Zhongshu.
"What about Liangshan Song Jiang? He is a good man..."
As soon as the words came out, he felt inappropriate, so he stopped talking.
Hu Qian said with a smile: "The outsiders said that the Liangshan bandits are good men, do you also want to turn the other way?"
Yan Qing shouted: "You rascal, keep talking nonsense, watch out for your life!"
Hu Qian said: "I don't know how to talk nonsense, but soon, there will be a fortune teller who can talk nonsense, and he will go to Yuanwai's home.
He calculated that there was a bloody disaster outside Yuan Wai, and asked Yuan Wai to take refuge elsewhere, and then he would write a poem at Yuan Wai's home. "
Lu Junyi narrowed his eyes, "It's nonsense, it's ridiculous!"
Said to leave.
Hu Qian said: "At that time, Yuanwai must be careful, those people really want your life."
Lu Junyi suddenly turned around and said, "According to what you said, those people should be from Liangshan. Why do they want my life?"
"At that time, the outsiders will know.
Another thing I would like to remind the staff is to be careful of the people around you. "
Lu Junyi looked at Yan Qing, and shouted: "It's ridiculous, I would really believe you!"
After speaking, he took Yan Qing and left.
Hu Qian didn't say much, as long as this seed was planted, when Lu Junyi was harmed by Wu Yong and his family was ruined, he would naturally think of his benefits.
At that time, as long as you understand it with affection and reason, you are not afraid that he will not come to seek refuge.
After finishing these, they left the Daming Mansion with Meng Yulou and went to Qingzhou.
When going out of the city, I suddenly ran into a fortune teller, followed by a boy who looked like black charcoal, but it turned out to be Wu Yong and Li Kui.
Because of the fast speed of the carriage, Wu Yong and the two were in a hurry to enter the city, so they didn't see it for a while.
But at this time, Hu Qian was not afraid of the two of them. Wu Yong basically had no combat effectiveness. Although Li Kui killed people without blinking an eye, his combat effectiveness at this time was no longer as good as his own.
All the way back to Qingzhou without incident.
After talking about the Daming Mansion, Hu Qian told everyone to get ready, as long as Song Jiang started to attack Daming Mansion, this side would attack Mizhou.
One day later, Cao Zheng came to report suddenly, saying that he had captured a spy from Mizhou City.
Hu Qian hurriedly asked him to bring the man, and after asking about the situation, it turned out that the spy came from Mizhou to inquire about the news, but he drank too much wine in Cao Zheng's shop and missed the point when he was talking nonsense, so he was tied up by Cao Zheng up.
Hu Qian said: "Tell me, what are you doing in Qingzhou City?"
The man bit his lip and said nothing.
Hu Qian waved his hand, and the soldiers on the side immediately picked up their sticks and started fighting suddenly.
After twenty sticks, he couldn't stand it anymore.
"Other people, the villain said..."
"Since you are not a good man, why bother to hold on? Tell me."
"The villain came to visit his father-in-law Mount Tai in the name of the prefect."
"The father-in-law of Mizhou prefect is here?"
Hu Qian laughed, this is really a surprise.
If you can use this as bait, you are not afraid that Mizhou prefect will not take the bait.
"Who is his father-in-law? Where does he live?"
"It's from Taiping Street, Mr. Zhang..."
After twenty sticks, the spy really became much more honest, and told everything in detail.
It turned out that the prefect of Mizhou loved his wife very much and respected his father-in-law very much. After learning that Qingzhou City was occupied by Hu Qian, he was very worried about the safety of his old father-in-law.
In addition, Hu Qian has strictly prohibited people from entering and leaving, so he doesn't know the life and death of the old father-in-law.
He didn't want to send someone over at first, but the lady kept nagging in his ear, so he sent this spy over.
It is said to be a spy, but in fact it is more of a family general.
Hu Qian asked about the city defense and control of Mizhou City, the guarding generals, etc., and couldn't help but feel very happy.
It seems that there is no need for a hard attack, just a little trick to trick the Mizhou prefect out of the city, and the Mizhou city can be taken without any effort.
(End of this chapter)
During the period, Wu Song asked: "When Song Jiang attacked the city, the prefect of Murong shouted that he knew that Hu Yanzhuo would rebel, but why?"
Hu Qian said: "Because I expected that this would not be the case, so I asked Mrs. Cao Zheng to inform Sanniang early, and asked Sanniang to try to inform the prefect of Murong."
Wu Song looked at Hu Sanniang, who nodded and said: "At that time, I was specially guarding outside his mansion, and when I saw the right moment, I shot the letter upstairs with a bow and arrow."
Hu Qian said: "In this way, Song Jiang's strength can be greatly damaged, otherwise our current strength is not enough to surround them."
Wu Song and Hu Sanniang raised their glasses and said: "Brother has a clever plan, the gods come down to earth, and great things can be accomplished!"
The three of them drank happily for a while, and when Hu Sanniang wanted to say more, Wu Song said: "It's getting late, don't delay my brother's rest."
After finishing speaking, he went directly to pull Hu Sanniang.
Seeing the expression in his eyes, Hu Sanniang couldn't help but her heart fluttered. She also remembered that the husband and wife hadn't been reunited for many days, so he dragged him back to the room.
Hu Qian was not idle here either. When he returned to his room, he saw Wu Yueniang, Meng Yulou, Sun Xue'e, Pang Chunmei, Li Ping'er, Xiaocui, and Pan Qiaoyun waiting there.
Seeing him coming in, everyone's expressions changed, and their bodies were a little unnatural.
Hu Qian didn't say much, just blew out the candles, and hugged several people in his arms.
One night of scenery, no more words.
The next day Hu Qian went out refreshed and inspected the city's defenses. He saw that Wu Song, Hu Yanzhuo, Lu Zhishen, and Li Zhong were already there commanding and drilling the cloth army and the horse army.
Although Wu Song has extraordinary martial arts skills, if he is to lead troops to fight, it must be Hu Yanzhuo.
Especially the minions of Erlong Mountain and Taohua Mountain, if they hadn't been trained by him, they would be just a bunch of mobs.
Seeing Hu Qian coming, Hu Yanzhuo, Wu Song and others stopped and went to see him.
Hu Qian said: "The four have worked hard."
Hu Yanzhuo said: "Brother, don't blame, these soldiers are weaker, so they train harder."
Hu Qian said: "Brother, it's right to sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in wartime."
Hu Yanzhuo exclaimed: "Brother's words are right, I admire you!"
"Are you and your family okay?"
"It's settled down, thank you brother for caring.
It's just that we practice day and night. If there is no war, it is just practice. Only when they really go to the battlefield can they transform. "
Hu Qian said: "Hurry up, once Qingzhou is lost, Song Ting must take action, and it will be about this time."
Hu Yanzhuo said: "Brother, don't worry, brother is new here, and he hasn't made an inch of merit. No matter who comes this time, brother will definitely take him down and repay brother's great kindness."
Wu Songdao: "You have won the first prize, so what should I do?"
Lu Zhishen said: "Brother, don't be biased. My Zen stick has not been sold for a few days, and now my forehand is very itchy."
Li Zhongdao: "Our brother is also new to my brother's tent, so we always have to do something."
Hu Qian said: "Don't worry, the world is big, and our road is long, step by step, there are many opportunities to make contributions."
At this time Sanniang Hu came and said, "Uncle, what is our next plan? In my opinion, it is better to kill Liangshan and kill all those thieves."
Hu Qian said: "Sanniang, don't joke.
Right now, of course, it is to stabilize the hard drive. Since Qingzhou has been chosen as its home, it is always necessary to manage this Qingzhou to the fullest.
It just so happened that you came, and now I order you to go out to appease the people and tell the people that starting today, the tax will be halved, and the sergeant must not violate the people. "
Hu Sanniang said: "If Uncle wants me to lead troops to fight, it's no problem, but I really don't care about these cumbersome things..."
Lu Zhishen said: "If my brother Jiu Wenlong Shi Jin and that magical military master Zhu Wu were here, they would definitely be able to handle these things with ease."
With a thought, Hu Qian asked, "Brother Shi Jin is still in Shaohua Mountain now?"
Lu Zhishen said: "Brother really has a clever plan. They are taking over the mountain and becoming king there. Besides him and Zhu Wu, there is Chen Da, the tiger that jumps over the ravine, and Yang Chun, the white snake."
Hu Qian said: "Since that's the case, why not persuade them to join the gang, on the one hand, the brothers get together, and on the other hand, we can hold great events together."
Lu Zhishen said: "Okay, then I'll go there myself."
Li Zhongdao: "Brother is alone on the road and has no one to take care of him. Brother will go with you."
Hu Qian said: "If my prediction is correct, Shi Jin might have been captured in Huazhou at this moment."
Lu Zhishen turned pale with shock, "How did brother know?"
"Nature is the art of predicting the future."
"so what should I do now?"
"There is a plan to save him, it depends on whether you can do it."
"Brother, just say, go up the mountain of knives, go down to the pan of oil, brother will definitely do it!"
Hu Qian said: "It's not that serious.
I watched the sky at night, Shi Jia Dalang was captured by Nahua Prefecture He Taishou because he vented his anger on others. Although it is not easy to rescue in the city, the emperor will send Su Taiwei to Xishan to offer incense in the near future. Will definitely go with you.
You just need to hide in the audience in advance, wait for the opportunity to come out, capture the prefect and the captain, use this as a threat, you will surely be able to rescue Shi Jia Dalang, as long as these two high officials are there, it is not difficult to escape. "
As soon as these words came out, Lu Zhishen, Hu Yanzhuo, and Li Zhong were all dumbfounded.
Although I knew that Hu Qian could pinch and count, I didn't expect it to be so detailed.
Even though it wasn't the first time I saw it, it was still shocking.
Lu Zhishen said: "Don't worry, brother, brother will definitely rescue Da Lang."
Hu Qian said: "In order not to be chased and killed by the officers and soldiers, you can go to Shaohua Mountain to meet Zhu Wu and the others first, and ask them to lead the troops from the headquarters to meet them outside the city, so as not to get out.
After the matter is completed, Shaohua Mountain can't wait any longer, go and return quickly. "
Lu Zhishen said: "Thank you brother, brother will go now."
Hu Qian said again: "Bring more money, it will be useful on the road."
Lu Zhishen and Li Zhong thanked Hu Qian again and left quickly.
Afterwards, Hu Qian ordered Hu Yanzhuo and Wu Song to rectify military affairs, and at the same time told Erlong Mountain and Taohua Mountain to prepare.
After a few days, I heard that Song Ting was furious because of Gao Lian's murder and loss of Qingzhou.
Especially Gao Qiu, furiously invited the Taoist emperor, and divided his troops into two groups, sending troops to Liangshan on the one hand and sending people to Qingzhou on the other.
Hu Qian said: "Who is going to attack Liangshan?"
Cao Zhengdao: "Tang De is a man named Xuan Zan, known as Chou Junma and another man named Hao Siwen.
The one who came to Qingzhou was the general recommended by Xuanzan, known as Dadao Guan Sheng, who was said to be the great-great-great-grandson of Emperor Guan Sheng, with high martial arts skills. "
Hu Qian was afraid of his thighs, "Good job!
If he was sent to Liangshan by Guan Sheng, he might be captured by Song Jiang, and now he is coming to Qingzhou, just to persuade him to surrender for my use. "
Hu Yanzhuo said: "Brother, what should we do?"
So Hu Qian called Hu Yanzhuo, Wu Song, Hu Sanniang and a dozen small bosses to the conference hall.
"When the victory comes, close the door for three days without fighting to frustrate his spirit, and then open the door to fight when he becomes restless. At that time, you are only allowed to lose, not to win. Lead him to pursue, and then let Yang Zhi and Zhou Tongbing fight. Divided into two ways, flanking left and right, it is inevitable
You won a big victory, don't hurt Guan Sheng's life then, I will save it for great use. "
So the soldiers mobilized their horses and waited for Guan Sheng to come.
But Guan Sheng is not a mediocre person. He knew that Qingzhou was joined by Liangshan, Erlongshan, Taohuashan, Baihushan and others in Daxia, and Hu Yanzhuo cooperated internally and externally, so he lost it.
So I was still on the road, so I asked everyone to be careful about Erlong Mountain and Peach Blossom Mountain.
It's just that if you want to fight Qingzhou, you have to be stationed between these three places. Otherwise, you will travel long distances.
In the early morning of the next day, Guan Sheng led the army to come, but instead of going out in full force as Hu Qian imagined, he actually divided his troops to guard the main roads leading to Erlong Mountain and Taohua Mountain.
Maybe they even set up an ambush, just waiting for help.
Hu Yanzhuo praised: "This Guan Sheng is really skilled in the art of war, which is admirable."
Hu Qian said: "Let's let him hang out for three days and then come back."
So people were guarded in the city, even though Guan Sheng yelled and scolded under the city, he ignored it.
For three days in a row, Guan Sheng didn't make any achievements. He wanted to attack Erlong Mountain and Taohua Mountain first, but the mountain road was rugged and the terrain was dangerous, so he sent troops to release the people in Qingzhou City.
So dare not act rashly.
Guan Sheng was originally the inspector of Pudong, the captain of the anti-theft brigade of the sixth and seventh ranks, with only a few hundred people under his command, thanks to Xuan Zan's recommendation, he was able to lead the army to the expedition.
If he didn't make meritorious service, after returning home, let alone a promotion, maybe the imperial court would punish him for being unfavorable in war, and even lose his original official position.
So eager to do meritorious service, seeing that the people in Qingzhou and the other two mountains are all behind closed doors, they can't help feeling impatient.
So he asked: "If Qingzhou soldiers can't retreat, what should we do?"
"The general might as well pretend to be a strong attack, lure the bandits down from the mountain, and at the same time ambush the soldiers on both sides of the mountain road in advance, wait for others to come down, and then wait for the opportunity to kill them. Even if they can't attack the city, they can still kill the bandits on the mountain.
After that, we will see how the people in his city react, and then act according to the camera. "
Guan Sheng applauded.
On the fourth day, they really used ladders and artillery to forcibly attack the city.
Hu Qian had already asked people to prepare rolling stones, wood, and hot oil bows and arrows. At this time, they all went on calling, and the city wall became a purgatory for a while.
Hu Yanzhuo and Wu Song said: "Brother, let's fight in Kaesong!"
Seeing Guan Sheng's actions, Hu Qian said, "This Guan Sheng was unwilling to move forward and only wanted to fight outside the city, but now he is attacking the city with such a large number of troops. It must be a fraud. Just wait for a while and see what he does." action."
Wu Songdao: "Afraid of what he will do, let's just kill the general and go out, and watch me catch his dog's head!"
Hu Qian said: "If we go out of the city, the brothers on the mountain will definitely follow after seeing it. If Guan Sheng lays an ambush on the mountain road, then the brothers on the mountain will suffer."
Hu Yanzhuo nodded and said, "Brother is thoughtful, I admire you."
Hu Qian said: "Let me see, if he is determined to attack the city, then we will go out of the city for a decisive battle. If it's just a small fight, it's not too late to ignore it."
After waiting for a while, Guan Sheng saw that he could not attack, so he stopped attacking.
Hu Qian said: "Sure enough, this guy is clearly playing tricks."
Hu Yanzhuo said: "In this case, let's stick to it for a while, anyway, he can't stay here for a long time."
Hu Qian said: "No, now you two are going to fight, first meet with him for a while."
Wu Song said happily: "Don't worry, brother, I'm going!"
Hu Yanzhuo hurried down to the city for fear of falling behind.
Hu Qian shouted from the city: "The thief will use his name!"
Guan Sheng shouted: "I am Guan Sheng with a big sword, what kind of bird are you!"
Hu Qian said with a smile: "I am Wu Dalang, the Hunshiming king! I advise you to surrender quickly to avoid death!"
Guan Sheng said angrily: "Thiefs! How dare you go out of the city to fight!"
Hu Qian said: "Why don't you dare!"
The gate of the city was opened immediately, and Wu Song and Hu Yanzhuo urged the horses to walk out of the city.
Seeing Guan Sheng, he was overjoyed. He waved the Qinglong Yanyue Saber in his hand and shouted: "You two thieves, report your name. I will not kill the unknown with my sword!"
Wu Song said: "Wu Song is the tiger-fighting hero in Jingyanggang!"
Hu Yanzhuo said: "I am Hu Yanzhuo with two whips!"
Guan Sheng stroked his beard and laughed loudly: "You two, one is a bandit hunter who came from nowhere! The other is a traitor with the imperial court on his back! How dare you appear in front of me!"
Hu Yanzhuo was furious, patted his horse forward, and shouted: "You dog thief! Speak wild words! Take your life!"
After speaking, he fought with Guan Sheng.
The two of them fought back and forth with knives and whips for fifty rounds, neither winning nor losing.
Wu Song met and came to fight together.
Seeing that Guan Sheng was about to lose his strength, Hu Qian shouted from the city: "Don't hesitate! Kill Guan Sheng!"
The two were startled, only to realize that they are only allowed to lose, not to win, and immediately put on the switch to win the big sword, and fled to the city in a hurry.
Guan Sheng suspected it was a trick, so he didn't pursue it!
Just yelling and cursing outside the city: "Two thieves, you don't know how to live or die! If you escape slowly, I will tell you to move your head!"
Wu Song and Hu Yanzhuo had never experienced such a bird's anger, and each of them wished to turn back immediately and rub Guan Sheng on the ground fiercely.
But Hu Qian said: "Very good, do it again like this, I'm not afraid that Guan Sheng won't fall into the trap."
On the one hand, he ordered to strengthen the city's defenses, and on the other hand, he ordered people to go out of the city by a small path and report to Erlong Mountain and Peach Blossom Mountain.
Yang Zhi and Li Zhong felt that something was wrong. Although Guan Sheng had people ambushed on both sides of the mountain road, in terms of understanding of the mountain, how could he be better than his brothers who had been here for many years on the two mountains.
So he carefully found out the danger, and waited for Hu Qian's army to dispatch, and then they would wipe out these ambush people.
Another day later, Guan Sheng was still challenging outside the city, Hu Yanzhuo and Wu Song were about to go out, Hu Qian said: "This time I will come!"
With the help of Wu Yueniang and the others in the past two days, he has practiced his supernatural powers so well, but he doesn't know how much he has improved, so he intends to meet this big sword Guan Sheng and try his own progress.
Wu Song and Hu Yanzhuo were taken aback.
"Brother is the head coach of the city, what should we do if something goes wrong!"
"That's right! Brother, it's better for the two of us to go!"
Hu Qian said: "If there is any mistake, you all go with me, just don't make a move."
The two laughed, rode their horses and followed Hu Qian out of the city.
When Guan Sheng saw Hu Qian, he was taken aback for a moment, and then he laughed and said, "I thought this guy who hit Qingzhou was some kind of person. How dare you call him the King of Hunshi with a cripple like you? It's just a joke."
Wu Song said angrily: "You dog thief! Don't use your tongue, take your life!"
After speaking, he rushed out directly.
After fighting for twenty rounds, Wu Song felt quite strenuous. It wasn't that he didn't win this round, it was just that he was not good at horse fighting.
When Hu Qian saw him, he patted his horse and went out, shouting: "Brother, step back! Watch me capture him!"
Although everyone said so, but Hu Qian really moved his mind this time - if he can capture this victory, the army outside will win without a fight.
However, it was only when he got there that he realized that Guan Sheng's supernatural power was no longer inferior to Wu Song and Lu Zhishen.
Coupled with the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, which is inch long and inch strong, Hu Qian could only barely parry it.
Especially the Tai'a sword in his hand, even though it is a precious sword, it looks like a toy when fighting on horseback, it can only be beaten and cannot hurt anyone.
Perhaps seeing Hu Qian's situation, Hu Yanzhuo also slapped him.
Only then did Hu Qian retreat, and after fighting for a while, Hu Qian shouted: "This bandit army is so powerful, retreat quickly!"
After speaking, they withdrew into the city without looking back. Although Hu Yanzhuo and Wu Song were a little reluctant, they also knew that this was a tactic, so they hurriedly withdrew.
Guan Sheng thought in his heart that if they escaped again, he might not be able to fight against the city in the future.
So he waved his sword: "Siege the city! Kill me!"
Six to 7000 people were killed together.
What Hu Qian was waiting for was this opportunity. The city gate opened, and two thousand soldiers lay in ambush on both sides of the city gate, just waiting for Guan Sheng to come over.
Seeing that something was wrong, Guan Sheng knew that there might be an ambush, but the horse had already charged up, and it was absolutely impossible to retreat.
However, as soon as they reached the moat, the war horses on both sides fell into the pit. At that time, arrows flew like raindrops on the city wall, and dozens of people died in the pit in an instant.
And in the middle of the suspension bridge, three rows of horse-repelling posts suddenly appeared at the gate of the city.
When Guan Sheng saw it, he patted the horse and used great force to push aside the horse-rejecting pile. He was about to move forward, but was stopped by Hu Yanzhuo and Wu Song.
The gate of the city was not big, and the three of them fought in one place, and the people behind could only stare blankly.
Guan Sheng was invincible with a one-on-two match, coupled with impetuousness, it was even more difficult to win for a while.
At this moment, they suddenly heard shouts in the distance. They thought it was the soldiers who ambushed Erlong Mountain and Taohua Mountain and returned victorious.
But looking back, it was they who escaped in embarrassment.
Yang Zhi and Li Zhonglai were killed from behind, and they started killing frantically from behind.
Guan Sheng's army couldn't look at each other from head to tail, so it was unknown how many people died.
Seeing him, Guan Sheng yelled, "Quick back! Get out!"
How could Hu Qian give him such an opportunity? He jumped up suddenly and cut off Guan Sheng's horse's leg with a sword. The horse fell to the ground, and Guan Sheng also fell off, and was caught by Hu Yanzhuo and Wu Song.
Hu Qian shouted loudly: "Guan Sheng has been defeated! Surrender without killing!"
After hearing this, Yang Zhi and Li Zhong shouted together, "Surrender without killing!"
Seeing Guan Sheng being captured, and seeing the officers and soldiers around him fall down one by one, they knew that if they struggled any longer, they would die, so they all threw down their weapons!
Hu Qian ordered Yang Zhi and Li Zhong to deal with the prisoners of war and the battlefield, and asked Wu Song and Hu Yanzhuo to take Guan Sheng to the magistrate's office.
Seeing Hu Qiangao sitting on top, Guan Sheng shouted: "If you want to kill, kill him, what kind of airs are you putting on!"
Hu Qian said: "You and I are the masters of each other. If it weren't for the tricks of fate, there is no need to fight."
Guan Sheng said: "What do you mean by that?"
Hu Qian stepped forward and untied the rope from him, "General Huwei, I dare not offend you, besides, I have long admired the general's name, but I have never had the chance to see him.
If the general doesn't think my Qingzhou city is small, why don't we just stay here and make a big deal together, wouldn't it be good. "
Guan Sheng said: "You want me to join the gang and become a bandit?"
Wu Song and Hu Yanzhuo's expressions changed, and when they were about to speak, Hu Qian waved his hands and said, "Why did the general say that we are bandits?"
"You kill and set fire, and fight against the government, what are you if you are not a bandit?"
Hu Qian said: "The general is familiar with military books, do you know how the world of this dynasty came to be?"
Guan Sheng was taken aback for a moment, speechless in a daze.
"This world was originally the world of Great Zhou, and Zhao Kuangyin got it from his orphans and widows, right?"
Guan Sheng was still speechless.
"According to the general's understanding, is Zhao Kuangyin a robber? Isn't he a bandit?
What's more, Xiao Xuanfeng Chai Jin, a descendant of the Great Zhou Dynasty, is still there, and he was bullied by Gao Lian of Gaotang Prefecture last time, not only killed Chai Jin's uncle, but also sent Chai Jin to prison, almost dead, it doesn't need to be a robber ?
If we are said to be thieves, then the Zhao family is a hundred times more shameless than us. The general worked his life for such people, how can he call others thieves! "
Guan Sheng couldn't say a word.
Hu Qian continued: "Let's not mention him about these things. No matter how reasonable I say, the general may not agree, but there is one thing that the general has to agree with."
"what's up?"
"The general is a descendant of Emperor Guan Shengdi, with a handsome appearance and extraordinary martial arts. It is reasonable to say that he should be a person who goes to and from the court and fights for the country, but he is an inspector in Pudong. Isn't it a waste of talent.
To take a step back, the general is now defeated, even if he lets you go back, it would be a crime of beheading. "
Guan Sheng's expression changed, and he didn't dare to think any further.
Hu Qian said: "In that case, why don't you stay? Although I am not talented, I have ambitions for the world. If I get the help of the general, I will be like a fish in water. In the future, the general will be appointed as a marquis and worship the minister. Wouldn't it be a good time to go through some inspections?"
Guan Sheng was shaken in his heart, hesitantly said: "But my wife and children..."
"Where is brother?"
Wu Song said: "Brother."
"Let Cao Zheng go to the general's house immediately, and bring his wife, Xiao Lianye, there must be no mistake."
After hearing this, Guan Sheng bowed his head and bowed, "From today on, Guan is willing to stand on the saddle for the eldest brother, and act like a dog and a horse!"
Hu Qian hurriedly ordered a grand banquet, Guan Sheng, Wu Song, Hu Yanzhuo, Yang Zhi, Zhou Tong, Hu Sanniang and other leaders all returned drunk.
And let people treat these prisoners well, and still put them under Guan Sheng's command.
Not a day later, Cao Zheng picked up Guan Sheng's wife and children, and since then he has become even more determined.
On this day, in the magistrate's yamen, Hu Qian, Guan Sheng, Wu Song, Hu Yanzhuo, Yang Zhi, Zhou Tong, and Hu Sanniang gathered together.
Talking about future plans, Hu Qian said: "Now that the Taoist emperor is fatuous and immoral, and the treacherous ministers in the court are in power, we don't need to do anything more. We just need to wait quietly, and the people will turn against each other one by one.
This is true for Fang La, Tian Hu, Wang Qing and others.
But we can't just watch them develop and grow, we must have our own plans. "
Wu Songdao: "Brother has something to say, just say it, we will obey your orders."
Hu Qian said: "Now we occupy Qingzhou, with Mizhou to the south and Dengzhou to the east. It is rich in products and has a large population. It is our must-have state capital.
As long as these two states are occupied, then our power can cover this corner, and there will be no worries in the southeast. "
Hu Yanzhuo said: "What brother said is very true, when will we start attacking the city?"
Hu Qian looked at Guan Sheng and said, "Brother, what's the plan?"
Guan Sheng said: "Dengzhou is far away, and there are many variables. It is better to attack Mizhou first, so that the door to the east can be sealed. If you don't go to Dengzhou, you will become a turtle in a urn. You can take it whenever you want."
Hu Qian nodded, "Brother's words are exactly what I want."
Yang Zhi said: "Then shall we set off now?"
Hu Qian said: "Don't worry, now that several soldiers and horses have just joined together, they haven't been properly trained, and if they attack rashly, their command will inevitably be chaotic, and their combat power will not even be as good as before.
What's more, Song Ting is wary of us now, maybe the surrounding prefectures are guarding against us, we need to find a suitable time. "
Hu Sanniang said: "Please do the calculation, Uncle, where is the timing?"
Guan Sheng was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "Do you still know how to do divination?"
Wu Song, Hu Yanzhuo and the others smiled at each other, "You will gradually know about this. Big brother not only has the supernatural power of prophecy, even if his head is severed, it can grow back without injury."
Guan Sheng was so shocked that he couldn't speak, so he just thought Wu Song and the others were joking.
Hu Qian said: "If my prediction is correct, Liangshan can resist Song Ting's attack this time by virtue of its terrain, but Chao Gai will die in a few days."
Guan Sheng was taken aback, "Chao Gai is the Lord of Liangshan, how did he die?"
Hu Qian said: "I think there is some grievance with Zengtou City, and Zengtou City will be shot to death by an arrow."
Guan Sheng was taken aback, and asked, "This... Could it be that this incident has already happened, but I didn't know it? Otherwise, how could my brother calculate so accurately."
Yang Zhidao: "Don't say you don't believe it, I didn't believe it at first, but later everything my brother said came true, so it's not surprising."
Hu Yanzhuo said: "This is indeed true. At the beginning, my elder brother even knew exactly what Song Jiang was going to say to me. I can't accept it."
Hu Qian didn't pay attention to these people, but continued: "There is one more thing, Song Jiang has always wanted to earn money from Hebei jade unicorn Lu Junyi to go up the mountain, but there is no chance, this time he will definitely do it.
It's just that the Daming Mansion in Hebei is not an easy place to enter. If I watch the sky at night, Lu Junyi will definitely be in prison, and Song Jiang and others will send troops to attack the Daming Mansion in BJ.
This is our chance. "
Hu Sanniang said: "It's Zengtou City and Daming Mansion. Song Jiang's troops are limited. How can he attack these two places at the same time?"
Hu Qian said: "Of course not.
Once Chao Gai died, Song Jiang and others would definitely watch for him during the day, and then they would definitely attack the Daming Mansion first, and then take Zengtou City. "
Zhou Tongdao: "Brother, what you mean is that we can take Mizhou while they are attacking Daming Mansion."
Hu Qian nodded, "Liang Zhongshu of the famous mansion is Cai Taishi's son-in-law. Brother Yang knows this best."
Yang Zhi shook his head and said: "At the beginning, I escorted Liang Zhongshu's birthday outline to Taishi Cai in Tokyo, but Huangnigang was robbed by Chao Gai and others, so it fell into the grass.
When it comes to Liang Zhongshu, I am naturally the clearest. "
Hu Qian said: "When Liangshan goes to attack the Daming Mansion, Cai Jing will definitely send troops to rescue his son-in-law. Then we will have no time to take care of him, so we will take advantage of the situation to take Mizhou."
Guan Sheng said: "Brother is very calculating! This is exactly the reason!"
Hu Qian said: "Although the timing is good, you have to be fully prepared."
So Guan Sheng, Hu Yanzhuo and Wu Song were ordered to train the sergeants. Yang Zhi and Zhou Tong still went back to the mountain to guard Qingzhou, so as not to be surrounded by people and unable to move, and Cao Zheng was asked to inquire more about Mizhou.
Hu Sanniang was in charge of money and food accounts, and she was very upset because she only wanted Lu Zhishen to bring Shi Jin, Zhu Wu and others back as soon as possible.
Several people are very busy every day, and Hu Qian is also busy.
The previous battle with Guan Sheng made him understand his own shortcomings.
Although it has made a lot of progress, it is still a bit short compared to this top combat power.
Especially in terms of strength, it may have something to do with the short stature of this Wuhan University, but Wu Yueniang and the others are very satisfied. Anyway, life now is similar to that in Yanggu County, with no worries about food and clothing every day, and endless gold and silver.
What's more, now that Hu Qian is seeing his career start, if he can really achieve a hegemony, maybe a few daughters will become imperial concubines in the future.
Thinking about it, I was still very excited, so I served more attentively every night, thinking of ways to please Hu Qian.
After waiting for a long time, I heard that Chao Gai was attacking Zengtou City because of the seizure of his BMW. As a result, he was shot by Shi Wengong with an arrow, and he died not long after.
Hu Qian took this opportunity to gather a group of people in the city to discuss.
Guan Sheng first bowed and said: "Brother is really a god! I admire you very much!"
Hu Yanzhuo said: "I told you earlier, you just didn't believe it."
Guan Sheng smiled and said, "I'll believe it this time. With such supernatural powers, why worry about nothing happening!"
Hu Qian nodded, and asked everyone to gather all the news they heard, and study the subsequent trends.
Yang Zhidao: "The cottage is still practicing every day, just waiting for the order of the eldest brother."
Zhou Tongdao: "It's the same with the little brother, everyone just waits for the big brother to give orders."
Cao Zhengdao: "My little brother found out that Mizhou is a fortified city, but because of the previous Fangla army's harassment, the army has all gone to the south of the Yangtze River to put down Fangla's rebellion, so there are only [-] defenders in the city. The prefect's name is Li Qiangang, and he is quite capable."
Hu Qian shook his head, "If there is only this information, it is far from enough. If you know more details, you may be able to win without fighting and avoid using weapons. It is also for the benefit of the people in the city."
Cao Zhengdao: "Brother, don't worry, little brother will go to investigate."
Hu Qian said: "Investigation is a big matter, but you must also pay attention to your own safety. Compared with a small Mizhou, I don't want to lose my brother."
Cao Zheng was stunned for a moment, and bowed his head, "Brother Gao Yi, and younger brother, I will go through fire and water, and I will not hesitate to do so."
After waiting for a few more days, Hu Qian said, "I'm going to Daming Mansion, and I need someone to follow me."
Wu Songdao: "Brother, I will go with you."
Hu Qian said: "The two of us are still on the court's most wanted list, so it's not good to go out together."
He looked at Guan Sheng, Hu Yanzhuo, and Yang Zhi, all of them were men of seven or eight feet in height, and they were all handsome figures, they were too conspicuous.
If you take Wu Yueniang and the others there, they won't be able to help you if something happens to you.
Hu Sanniang said: "Uncle, why don't I go with you."
Hu Qian shook his head.
Now that Hu Sanniang is Wu Song's wife, it's really inappropriate for them to go out together.
After much hesitation, he decided to take Meng Yulou and Pang Chunmei with him.
First of all, Pang Chunmei has always been a little clever, and if she encounters interrogation or something, she can also help to cover up.
It's just that Hu Qian's height is a flaw. Everyone knows that Wu Dalang from Yanggu County is a three-inch man. It would be dangerous if he covered it up.
Guan Sheng said: "What is brother going to the Daming Mansion for?"
Hu Qian said: "The jade unicorn Lu Junyi is indeed a character, I don't want him to fall into Song Jiang's hands."
Wu Songdao: "In that case, I'll go alone and persuade him to join the group."
Hu Qian shook his head, "You don't know the cause and effect. If you go, not only will you not be able to persuade you to come, but it may have the opposite effect."
The plan has been decided, Hu Qian asked Wu Song and others to guard the city strictly, if someone comes to attack, don't attack recklessly, wait until you come back.
Afterwards, he disguised himself as a coachman, Meng Yulou as a visiting lady, and Pang Chunmei as her maid.
All the way to the west, not a day to BJ City.
I thought there would be a rigorous interrogation, but when I arrived at the city gate, nothing happened.
Hu Qian and the others first found an inn to stay, and while talking to the clerk, they found out where Lu Junyi lived.
It's just that Lu Junyi's family is not so easy to advance, and I don't know if Wu Yong and Li Kui are here.
After much deliberation, he could only approach quietly while Lu Junyi was out.
After waiting for a few days, when he was drinking tea not far from Lu Junyi's house, he saw a handsome man and a handsome boy coming out.
When others saw it, they immediately cupped their hands and said, "Mr. Lu."
He heard people around him say again: "Mr. Lu is probably going to find someone to practice martial arts again."
"I don't care about the pretty lady at home, what kind of guns are you going to practice?"
"Don't talk nonsense, lest you be heard."
At this time, Hu Qian had already confirmed that the man was Lu Junyi, so he quietly followed.
Before he had gone far, Lu Junyi suddenly turned his head and said, "Who are you? You have been following Hou Man furtively since just now. What is your intention?"
Hu Qian said: "Don't worry, I'm here to save your life."
"Save my life? Who wants to kill me?"
"Liang Zhongshu of the famous mansion and Liang Shanshuipo Song Jiang both want to harm you."
Lu Junyi originally thought that he was just talking nonsense to cheat a few small money, but when he heard these two names, he was immediately taken aback.
"what are you talking about!"
Hu Qian said: "If you want to know the details, you might as well come with me."
Yan Qing said: "Master, don't listen to his nonsense!"
Lu Junyi said: "Just follow up and see what he said. If it's not true, it won't be too late to deal with it."
So the three of them went to a restaurant one after the other, and after entering the private room, Hu Qian invited them to sit down.
Dang first cupped his hands and said: "Don't blame the outsiders, I am a wanted man by the court, so I can't say it clearly."
Lu Junyi was taken aback again, and asked: "What do you mean by what you just said! If you tell the truth, I will leave!"
Hu Qian said: "Although Yuanwai is well-known in this Daming Mansion, there are actually many people who secretly regard Yuanwai as a thorn in their side, and Liang Zhongshu is one of them.
It's just that he hasn't got the disadvantages of being a member, so he can't attack it. "
Even if Hu Qian didn't say this, Lu Junyi could feel it himself.
After all, his family has a big business, and there are always many things that will collide with Liang Zhongshu.
"What about Liangshan Song Jiang? He is a good man..."
As soon as the words came out, he felt inappropriate, so he stopped talking.
Hu Qian said with a smile: "The outsiders said that the Liangshan bandits are good men, do you also want to turn the other way?"
Yan Qing shouted: "You rascal, keep talking nonsense, watch out for your life!"
Hu Qian said: "I don't know how to talk nonsense, but soon, there will be a fortune teller who can talk nonsense, and he will go to Yuanwai's home.
He calculated that there was a bloody disaster outside Yuan Wai, and asked Yuan Wai to take refuge elsewhere, and then he would write a poem at Yuan Wai's home. "
Lu Junyi narrowed his eyes, "It's nonsense, it's ridiculous!"
Said to leave.
Hu Qian said: "At that time, Yuanwai must be careful, those people really want your life."
Lu Junyi suddenly turned around and said, "According to what you said, those people should be from Liangshan. Why do they want my life?"
"At that time, the outsiders will know.
Another thing I would like to remind the staff is to be careful of the people around you. "
Lu Junyi looked at Yan Qing, and shouted: "It's ridiculous, I would really believe you!"
After speaking, he took Yan Qing and left.
Hu Qian didn't say much, as long as this seed was planted, when Lu Junyi was harmed by Wu Yong and his family was ruined, he would naturally think of his benefits.
At that time, as long as you understand it with affection and reason, you are not afraid that he will not come to seek refuge.
After finishing these, they left the Daming Mansion with Meng Yulou and went to Qingzhou.
When going out of the city, I suddenly ran into a fortune teller, followed by a boy who looked like black charcoal, but it turned out to be Wu Yong and Li Kui.
Because of the fast speed of the carriage, Wu Yong and the two were in a hurry to enter the city, so they didn't see it for a while.
But at this time, Hu Qian was not afraid of the two of them. Wu Yong basically had no combat effectiveness. Although Li Kui killed people without blinking an eye, his combat effectiveness at this time was no longer as good as his own.
All the way back to Qingzhou without incident.
After talking about the Daming Mansion, Hu Qian told everyone to get ready, as long as Song Jiang started to attack Daming Mansion, this side would attack Mizhou.
One day later, Cao Zheng came to report suddenly, saying that he had captured a spy from Mizhou City.
Hu Qian hurriedly asked him to bring the man, and after asking about the situation, it turned out that the spy came from Mizhou to inquire about the news, but he drank too much wine in Cao Zheng's shop and missed the point when he was talking nonsense, so he was tied up by Cao Zheng up.
Hu Qian said: "Tell me, what are you doing in Qingzhou City?"
The man bit his lip and said nothing.
Hu Qian waved his hand, and the soldiers on the side immediately picked up their sticks and started fighting suddenly.
After twenty sticks, he couldn't stand it anymore.
"Other people, the villain said..."
"Since you are not a good man, why bother to hold on? Tell me."
"The villain came to visit his father-in-law Mount Tai in the name of the prefect."
"The father-in-law of Mizhou prefect is here?"
Hu Qian laughed, this is really a surprise.
If you can use this as bait, you are not afraid that Mizhou prefect will not take the bait.
"Who is his father-in-law? Where does he live?"
"It's from Taiping Street, Mr. Zhang..."
After twenty sticks, the spy really became much more honest, and told everything in detail.
It turned out that the prefect of Mizhou loved his wife very much and respected his father-in-law very much. After learning that Qingzhou City was occupied by Hu Qian, he was very worried about the safety of his old father-in-law.
In addition, Hu Qian has strictly prohibited people from entering and leaving, so he doesn't know the life and death of the old father-in-law.
He didn't want to send someone over at first, but the lady kept nagging in his ear, so he sent this spy over.
It is said to be a spy, but in fact it is more of a family general.
Hu Qian asked about the city defense and control of Mizhou City, the guarding generals, etc., and couldn't help but feel very happy.
It seems that there is no need for a hard attack, just a little trick to trick the Mizhou prefect out of the city, and the Mizhou city can be taken without any effort.
