The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 80 The Army Arrives, Surrounding and Suppressing the Rebels ([-])
Hou Meng died of illness on the way back, and Niu Gao led the army straight to Qingzhou City alone.At the beginning, Zhao Gou asked the two of them to dispatch the troops from the east and west of Beijing, and the place they were sent to was Qingzhou City. He wanted to surround Qingzhou City tightly, surround Song Jiang and others, and then attack.

Zhao Gou ordered Niu Gao and others to go down to rest, sat down alone, spit out a mouthful of blood again, and muttered to himself: "The internal strength is overdrawn, the body can't bear it! Brother's heavy punch, there is a bit of Taoist force in it." Could it be that he has also practiced internal strength, but the strength is not enough?"

So, Zhao Gou sat cross-legged, slowly adjusting his breath to the trauma he suffered.If it is an external injury, he only needs to be treated by a military doctor. What he suffered was an internal injury, and medicine and stones have no effect. The only way is to adjust his breath by himself.

The generals of the Song army saw that Zhao Gou was brave and good at fighting, mighty and domineering, and all of them were full of energy and morale.On the other hand, the Liangshan army lost two Yuan generals in a row before the battle, and was captured alive by the Song army, Lu Junyi and Yang Zhi. It was already a mess.

"Brother Gongming, our side lost two generals, and brothers Lu Junyi and Yang Zhi were captured alive. Our army's morale is low. In terms of combat effectiveness, we can't compare with the Song army. What should we do?"

Song Jiang groaned silently, frowning.After a while, he said: "I really miscalculated that the commander-in-chief of the Song army has such martial arts. Even the two brothers Lu and Yang were arrested, and the two brothers Qin Ming and Suo Chao died in battle."

"Qingzhou City is short of food and grass. If it goes on like this, it will be difficult to get out of trouble. The main force of our army is in Qingzhou City, so we can't fight for a long time! I wonder if the military division has a good strategy?"

Wu Yong replied: "The morale of the Song army was high, but instead of taking advantage of the victory to pursue it, they refused to meet the enemy. It has been two days now, and no matter how our soldiers called for formation, they all stood still. There must be fraud!"

"Our army's spies reported that the commander of the Song army never went out, stayed in the tent and never came out. However, the generals of the Song army went back and forth, and they must be discussing how to make a decision."

"There is not enough food and grass in Qingzhou City. This is the top priority. Secondly, the morale of our army is low, which is also a big problem. If my prediction is correct, the commander of the Song Army is waiting for the opportunity, but he doesn't know what it is. It really makes people puzzled."

Wu Yong's face was solemn, and everyone was helpless.Liang Shanjun had never encountered such an opponent since he set off on the expedition. Even if he had fought dozens of times with the Song Army, most of them were victories. He had never been passively beaten today, and he didn't know what the Song Army was doing.

It has been two days since the troops from the East and West Routes of Beijing arrived in Qingzhou City, Zhao Gou ordered Niu Gao to pass on the military order, asking them to station behind the Tai'an Army and stand still for the time being.In addition, Zhao Gou is still waiting for Wu Lin's news, and he can launch an attack with a two-pronged approach, defeating Song Jiang and others in one fell swoop.

"My lord, it has been two days since the army from the West Road arrived, and our army has enough follow-up troops, why haven't we sent troops to attack Qingzhou City?"

Zhao Gou said with a smile: "Our army's morale has been boosted, our troops are strong and our horses are strong, and we have tens of thousands of troops on the west road. We have been reluctant to send troops for a long time, but we decided after careful consideration." Everyone didn't understand what he meant, "No matter what you say, Song Jiang After all, the others are the people of Song Dynasty, and our army is also from Song Dynasty. If we confront them, it will be the loss of Song Dynasty if there are too many casualties."

"Perhaps they don't understand that the people of Song Dynasty should be united as one, and the suffering is only temporary. As long as you believe that the country will be prosperous and strong, you will be able to do so. Of course, you also need to govern the country well. The emperor has the difficulties of the emperor. In the future, you Then you will know. Talking too much at this time is not good for you, as long as you know that we are all Song people, but brothers."

"Thus, I feel that the purpose of procrastinating the war is to give Song Jiang and others a chance to sacrifice their city and surrender. The other thing is to wait for news from Wu Lin. As long as General Zhang Shuye does everything well, we can take action , to achieve the greatest victory at the least cost."

"It's a pity that I gave them the opportunity, but I didn't take it. If this is the case, then we don't have to show mercy." Zhao Gou's face became colder, he sighed deeply, and said in a deep voice: "All the officers and men listen to the order and pass on the order of the commander-in-chief. , all the soldiers are ready at midnight tonight, waiting to be dispatched by the general."

Everyone shouted in unison: "No!"

Immediately, everyone walked out of the camp and went down to convey Zhao Gou's military orders.The soldiers of the Song Army had been waiting for a long time, and they were very happy to hear Zhao Gou's order.At the same time, the entire Tai'an Army soldiers were elated and high-spirited.Everyone knows that Zhao Gou has decided to take action.

"Report to Marshal, Wu Xianfeng is back, and Mr. Zeng is here!" The soldiers rushed to the tent and bowed to report.

When Zhao Gou heard that Zeng Xiaoyun and Wu Lin had returned, he was overjoyed. He had already guessed the result, so he quickly stood up and greeted them.The crowd also followed closely behind, Wu Lin and Zeng Xiaoyun saw that Zhao Gou led the soldiers to welcome them in person, they couldn't help being surprised and said quickly: "My lord, it's a good luck not to disgrace your life!"

The conjecture in Zhao Gou's heart was confirmed, he couldn't help laughing and said: "It's so good, you two came at the right time! Haha!..."

Zeng Xiaoyun and Wu Lin looked at each other in amazement, turned around and looked at the crowd cheering, could not help being a little curious, when Yang Yizhong told them what happened before Zhao Gou, it also surprised them both.After that, it was also mentioned that Zhao Gou ordered to prepare to attack Qingzhou City tonight.

The two of them came and brought good news, which really added wings to a tiger.Now, all the orders that Zhao Gou ordered before are in place.As long as the gates of Qingzhou City are broken tonight, the entire Beijing East-West Road Army and the Tai'an Army can drive straight in, and no one can stop them.

Song Jiang and others also received reports from the spies, saying that the soldiers of the Song Army were high in morale, murderous, cheering, and everyone's face showed excitement.Therefore, Wu Yong guessed that Zhao Gou should be ready to act, and quickly ordered people to guard the city gate.Moreover, spies were sent to inquire about Song Jun's every move.

It's a pity that Zhao Gou had already expected that there would be spies inquiring about the military situation, and he had already ordered people to ambush the surrounding area and strengthened his guard.If the enemy's spies come, they will rush forward without hesitation and kill them all, without any survivors.Then, as soon as Zishi arrived, Zhao Gou came to the army in person, and even the army from the West Road came together.

Zhao Gou asked many generals: "Generals, do you have any climbers in your army? People with dexterity?"

Everyone lowered their heads in thought, and after thinking about it, they were all soldiers who said that the soldiers in their tents knew this skill.They also didn't think that what Zhao Gou wanted was people who climbed, and what the two armies should need in a confrontation was people who charged forward, and when would they need such people.It sounds good to be a climber, but it is not good to be a gentleman on the beam, especially the generation who steals chickens and dogs. Some soldiers dare not admit it even if they have done it before.

After counting, there are a total of about 130 people. Among these people, 30 people used to be stealthy people, but all of them joined the military camp and quit. There are 60 people who are from the mountains and can write climbing techniques. , Need to collect medicinal herbs in the mountains and forests, and the last dozens of people are agile people.

Zhao Gou ordered all of them to leave with him alone, while the others were always ready to attack as soon as they saw the signal, under the jurisdiction of the generals of the West Road Army, so Zhao Gou also kept Zeng Xiaoyun, Wu Lin and others to let them go. All stay behind for support.Then, he looked at the selected people again, and said solemnly: "I don't care what you did before, everything you do today will be greatly recorded as military exploits. Do you know why I want you to come out alone?"

"I don't know the end!" Everyone replied in unison.

Zhao Gou said: "I want to send you to perform a very important task. If you complete it, you will be the heroes of Song Dynasty. However, this matter is more dangerous. Are you willing? If you are not willing, brother, you can stand up?" None of the 130 people stood up, and all of them were willing to obey orders. He also said: "Anyone who has a family will stand out."

The crowd still didn't stand up. Seeing that they were so determined, Zhao Gou had no choice but to let their general come to point out the situation.After re-screening, 130 of the 30 people who belonged to this situation were eliminated, and returned to the original general's command. They were very unwilling, but they had no choice.

"100 people, this is just right!" Zhao Gou nodded, and said solemnly: "The commander-in-chief's order, 100 of you go to Qingzhou City, open the city gate, and wait for the army to come to encircle and suppress the rebels. Today I will Occupy Qingzhou City, defeat the Liangshan Army in one fell swoop, and completely resolve the crisis in Qingzhou City."

　Sorry, it's a bit late, I'm so sorry! !
