The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 108

The two armies fought for dozens of rounds, but there was no outcome.As the generals of the two armies, Song Jiang and Fang Mao were a little worried when they saw that the generals of the two armies were inseparable.Just at the right time, the battle between the two armies changed. I saw the beautiful bearded man Zhu Dian stabbing Gou Zheng off his horse with a single shot.

Seeing that Gou Zheng had been stabbed off his horse, Fang Maung was startled, and hurriedly called Jin to withdraw his troops; Song Jiang also called Jin to withdraw his troops when he saw this, so that the seven pairs of generals separated and returned to their own formations.

The three kings, Fang Mao, saw that one of the generals had been lost, and it was not good to think about it, so they ordered to retreat to Suzhou City.Seeing his retreat, Song Jiang also led the army back and stationed thirty miles outside Suzhou City.

Fang Xiang withdrew his troops into the city, but couldn't hold out, so he assigned generals to guard the gates, planted antlers deep, and placed hard bows, lumber, and cannon stones on the city walls to prevent the Song army from invading, and prepared to defend the city.

The next day, Song Jiang was still calling for battle outside, and the Suzhou Army was determined not to go out to fight.Seeing that Fang Maung did not dare to come out to fight, Song Jiang led his generals to survey the city of Suzhou. Seeing that the city of Suzhou was surrounded by water ports and solid high walls, he thought: "Suzhou city is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It's a serious situation, don't be impatient, you can only think about it in the long run."

So, Song Jiang led the people back to the camp, and discussed with them the strategy of breaking the city. When he was troubled, someone outside the camp reported: "The leader of the water army is Li Jun, who is coming from Jiangyin to see the general."

Song Jiang was overjoyed, he assigned Shi Xiu, Li Jun and others to attack from the waterway, all the way to the south, separated for more than a month, when he saw Li Jun, he asked, "How is brother Li Jun?"

Li Jun replied: "Brother Shi Xiu, I lived up to my trust. Brother Shi Xiu and I led the navy to Jiangyin, the coast of Taicang and other places. The guard Yan Yong and the deputy general Li Yu led the navy ships. They were all wiped out by our army. , Shi Xiu and other brothers continue to attack, and the younger brother is here to report victory."

Seeing the open water outside Suzhou City, Song Jiang thought that the only way to attack with water troops was to keep Li Jun behind, and sent Mr. Dai to send a letter to Shixiu in Taicang, telling him to be more careful.

Li Jun heard what Song Jiang said, and said: "Report to brother, wait for my younger brother to go to see the water surface and other conditions, and then discuss how to use troops."

Song Jiang agreed: "It's true, the navy attacking brothers are much better than me, so it's up to you!"

Li Jun immediately went to the outside of Suzhou City to carefully survey the waters and other conditions. After returning for two days, he said: "This city is directly south of Taihu Lake. I can prepare a boat, go to Yixing Xiaogang, and enter Taihu Lake privately. Go out of Wujiang again, listen to the news of the enemy army, and then make a decision whether you can enter the army, attack from all sides, and then you can break through."

Song Jiangdao: "Your brother's words are very appropriate! It's just that you don't have a deputy to go with you."

Li Jun smiled and said: "One brother is enough, brother is here to wait for the news."

Song Jiang also reluctantly agreed. The leader and deputy of the Song Army's water army were all sent to other places to attack the enemy along the waterway, and their own generals also fought on land. He agreed to Li Jun's request to go alone, but in the end he was still worried about his safety, so he still sent two lieutenants to accompany him. Li Jun took a boat to bid farewell to Song Jiang and went to inquire about the news.

The two lieutenants named Tong Wei and Tong Meng, three of them rode a flat boat, and two sailors rowed oars, a total of five people went straight to Yixing Xiaogang. Yibi couldn't help admiring: "It really is a beautiful scenery!"

At this time, it is the time when the spring is bright and beautiful, the water is rippling, the sky is connected to the distant water, and the water is connected to the distant sky.The high and low water shadows are clean, and the upper and lower water and sky are the same color.A pair of wild herons flew over, their toes lightly tapped on the water surface, causing waves of ripples, which made people dizzy and forget to return.

A group of five of them crossed the Taihu Lake in a small boat and gradually approached the Wujiang River. They saw a row of fishing boats from a distance, roughly estimated to be forty or fifty.

Li Jun reminded: "I will pretend to be a merchant who buys fish, go to buy fish, and go there to inquire about it. Don't reveal your identity."

The other four nodded, and then they moved to the side of the fishing boat. Li Jun smiled and asked, "Fisherman, is there any big carp?"

The fisherman said: "If you want a big carp, I have it at home. Come back with me and sell it to you."

Li Jun rocked the boat and went with the fish boats.After a while, they came to a village.When I took a closer look, I saw that the village was in the fence, there were humpback willow trees in front of the village, and there were about twenty houses.

The fisherman tied up the boat first, then led Li Jun, Tong Wei and Tong Meng ashore to a manor house.Stepping into the gate of the villa, the man coughed, and seven or eight people came out from both sides, all of them were big men with arms, and they directly held Li Jun and the three of them, and they were arrested before they could react. When they went into the village, they tied the three of them to the stake without asking any questions.

Li Jun looked over unhurriedly, and saw four big men sitting on the thatched hall. The first one had red beard and yellow hair, and was wearing a blue-collared silk jacket; Collared cotton shirt; the third has a black face and long beard; the fourth has a bony face with broad cheeks and a circle of beards. Both of them usually wear green napkin jackets with collars, with black hats on their heads, and lean on military weapons by their sides. .

The first one asked: "Where are you waiting for this guy? What are you doing in my lake?"

Li Jun replied, "I'm from Yangzhou. I'm here as a guest. I'm here to buy fish."

The fourth bone-faced person said: "Brother don't ask him, if you look at him like that, you can guess that he is a spy, and you only want to take his heart and liver for me to drink."

Li Jun's heart trembled when he heard this, and he thought to himself: "I have been a private businessman on the Xunyang River for many years, and I have been a hero in Liangshan Po for a few years, but I don't want to end up here today. It is really a fate." It’s doomed, that’s all! It’s just that what my brother told me has not been completed, and the two brothers have been implicated!”

He sighed, looked at Tong Wei and Tong Meng and said, "I'm the one who got involved with the two brothers today, and being a ghost is just one place!"

Tong Wei and Tong Meng replied: "Brother, don't say that, and we will die. It's just that dying here will bury your brother's name."

The three of them remained unafraid, and stood upright to die.The four people heard what the three of them said, looked at each other and said: "The person who is the leader must not be the following people."

So, the person in charge asked again: "Who are the three of you? You can give us a name and let us know."

Li Jun was afraid that he was a general of the enemy army. If he became famous, he was afraid that he would hurt the army, so he was ready to die, and he replied firmly: "If you want to kill, you will kill. I will wait for my name, and I will not say it until I die! "

Seeing this, the leader jumped up and raised his knife.Li Jun and the others all closed their eyes, knowing that the leader must have been angered by his words and hurt their lives.

However, Li Jun and the others waited for a while, but saw no movement. When they opened their eyes, they saw the man smiling at them and able to move.

It turned out that the man cut the rope with a knife and released the three of them, but they didn't die.Li Jun and the others stared at him dumbfounded, and saw the four of them invite the three of them into the house.

The leader praised: "I have been a strong man all my life, and I have never seen such a loyal person like you. You must be a well-known person in the world, but I don't know who the three brothers are. I would like to hear more about them!"

Li Jun saw that the four of them did not look like members of the army, but belonged to grass bandits like himself, so he felt relieved, and replied: "The four brothers are not soldiers, but heroes, so I will tell you, the three of us He is Song Gongming's lieutenant general who is the leading vanguard of the Song Army. I am Li Jun, Hunjianglong; these two brothers, one is Jiao Tong Wei from the cave, and the other is Tong Meng from Fanjiang Mirage. We are here to conquer Fang La. If you are Fang La's subordinates Staff, let the three of us go to ask for rewards, if you want to know other things, then don't think about it!"

The four people were shocked when they heard this, they all knelt down and said: "If you have eyes but don't know Mount Tai, you offended brother just now, don't be blamed! Don't be blamed!"

"My four brothers are not Fang La's subordinates. They used to beg for clothes and eat in the green forest. Now I have found this place. The place is called Yuliuzhuang. It is surrounded by Shenzhen and Hong Kong. It is impossible to enter without a boat. The four of us So I fish here as an eye, and find some food and clothing."

"In the recent winter, I have learned some water kung fu, so no one dares to invade. We have also heard of Song Gongming's reputation for a long time, and we are also envious. We also know his name. We have also met Zhang Shun, Baitiao in the waves. I wish I could meet my brother here!"

Li Jun said with great joy: "It turns out that he is my brother. I really don't know each other without fighting. Zhang Shun is my brother and the leader of the navy. He is now on the ground in Jiangyin to arrest thieves. I will come with him another day, but I will meet you. I don't know." Four big names?"

The one at the head said: "The younger brothers all have different names because they walk in the green forest, brother, don't laugh! The younger brother is the red-bearded dragon Feibao, one is the curly-haired tiger Ni Yun, one is Taihu Jiaobuqing, and the other is Thin-faced Xiong Dicheng."

Li Jun smiled and said: "It's really not a family, don't come into the family! Now, brother Song Gongming is the vanguard of the imperial court's campaign against Fang La, and we are also members of the court. I wonder if the four brothers are willing to join us in the campaign against Fang La? "

The four of them were overjoyed when they heard that, and worried that they would not have the chance to meet Song Jiang, so they all nodded and agreed, willing to conquer Fang La together.However, the four of them did not agree to be officials, but only agreed to help attack Fang La.
