Chapter 266

Let's talk about the excitement of the New Year in this daimyo mansion. There are six streets and three markets, and red lanterns are hung high in every corner and alley.In the streets and alleys, densely populated places, there are social fires.

Liang Zhongshu set up a banquet in the mansion, and two soldiers and horses under his command were in charge. Each of them led five hundred knives and axes to patrol the city to prevent the crowd from gathering and causing chaos.One personally led five hundred cavalry, fully clothed, to patrol the city outside the city.

That Feihuyu didn't even ask him to take a second look.

Li Tianrun had already left the Liushou Mansion angrily, he cried for Qin Ting to stage a scene, but now he wants to get out of his body to contribute to tonight's military affairs.

Li Si had sent someone to guard outside the city gate long ago, and when he saw Li Tianrun leaving the city, he went to meet him and lead him to a hidden place outside the city. After changing his appearance, he followed Fang Tianding and Gao Yu to enter Damingfu City again.

Li Tianrun pointed out the direction for Fang Tian: "Look, young master, that dog official Liang Shijie is not at all vigilant." The left-behind mansion is brightly lit. Presumably at this time, Liang Shijie I am indulging in "singing and dancing to promote peace" and cannot extricate myself.

"The man failed to achieve his life ambitions, and Le Gao sang to the drunken land. Liang Shijie became a high-ranking official left behind in Beijing in his forties, and he had Cai Jing as his backer. Now when the government is closed for rest, it would be strange if it is not like this. Such a huge city will be in the pocket of Liangshanbo tomorrow. It is so rich and magnificent that Hangzhou city cannot compare."

Fang Tianding was envious in his heart, deeply envious.

This is not afraid of not knowing the goods, but afraid of comparing goods.The people of the Manichaeism were met by the government in the south of the Yangtze River, just like a mouse met a cat, and they did not formally start a riot. The power of the Manichaeism was far worse than that of Liang Shanbo.And what about Liangshanbo?If it was a high-level leader of the cottage, even if he sneaked into Jeju city to play with thorns in a big way, the government would not dare to touch a hair on him.Aren't you afraid that your own city will be bulldozed by Liang Shanbo?
The same is the 'anti-thief'.The reputation of Manichaeism is limited to the rivers, lakes and green forests. Even in the south of the Yangtze River, many officials and rich people look down on them. At least those officials and rich people have no fear of Manichaeism; but what about Liangshanpo?One is to be famous in the world; the other is to deter the world.The gentry, rich and wealthy in this land of Qilu, when it comes to Liangshanbo, no matter how deep the foot is, there are few people who do not tremble.

Even so, the number of enemies in Liangshanbo increased greatly, and the powerful local landlords were hostile to them by hundreds or thousands.But so what?The Liangshan army was powerful, well-armed, and even more powerful. It was beyond the reach of ordinary powerful armed forces.

Now Liang Shanbo is coming to attack Daming Mansion again, but why do they want to attack Daming Mansion?But it is to rescue more than [-] living people outside the water.This appointment is one of them, and it has already made the heroes of the world sigh when it is spread; the combination of the two can only make people look forward to it.

Fang Tian must think about Liang Shanbo, and then about Manichaeism.The latter has obviously been in business for hundreds of years, and its reputation is well received, but it is far inferior to Liangshan. "Lu Qian, Chief Lu, is really a hero."

Fang Jie, who is arrogant, Gao Yu, who thinks highly of himself, Li Tianrun and other Manichaeists Jiangnan heroes, all nodded their approval after hearing Fang Tianding's words.The momentum and strength of Liangshanbo, and the speed of Liangshanbo's rise made them dissatisfied.Compared to Lu Qian, compared to Liang Shanbo, their Manichaeism has spent hundreds of years of operating time on dogs.

Lu Qian's army has already marched outside the Daming Mansion. There are over ten thousand elite soldiers, all uniformed in official military attire, and the banners are all the well-known numbers of the Forbidden Army Battalion of the Capital.Although many powerful people along the way were surprised, why did this elite army come from the east?Some well-informed country gentry and local tyrants know that Mengzhou in the east was broken by Liangshan bandits.Moreover, this official army crossed the border without harassing the local area, and without carrying any supplies. The whole army marched lightly.

But the rapidity of the army's advance, the majesty and solemnity of the army, cannot be underestimated.That essentially made them unexpected that they were thieves.

And the time is so short, it doesn't allow them to observe and think carefully.In a total of three days and two nights, the army traveled 150 miles, passed through several dangerous places on the east side of Daming Mansion, and arrived outside the city of Daming Mansion after sunset on the third day.

Along the way, all the officials who dared to come up to greet them were captured by Liang Shan's army.

But by this time, Lu Qian's good luck had come to an end.The cavalry advancing first collided with the [-] Damingfu cavalry on patrol outside the city.

Suo Chao, the vanguard, collided with Li Cheng.

Li Cheng was fully clothed and held two knives. He pointed at Suo Chao and cursed at Suo Chao: "How dare you invade my city for no reason?"

"All the corrupt officials who are gangsters should be killed. The world is so peaceful and clear. My cottage was going to attack your city a long time ago. I am afraid that the people and the people will suffer. Now Liangshanbo is going to save tens of thousands of men and women from the fire. I don’t know how to give you millions of dollars, food, gold and silver, but you still dare to utter lies. Don’t think that if I utter lies, if I persist in my obsession, I will teach Kunlun to catch fire and burn all jade and stone. It’s just now.”

Suo Chao didn't think that the opposite Li Cheng was the former Shangguan, so he showed him affection.Li Cheng was not Wen Da, if it was Wen Dadao who was in front of him, he would have to show some kindness in his mouth.

Li Cheng was furious when he heard this, and shouted to Suo Chaogao: "You are an official of the imperial court, what should the country do to you? You are a good person, but you turned into a thief! When I caught you today, your body would be smashed to pieces. Duan, you deserve to die!"

The vanguard is an impatient person, and hearing this just adds fuel to the fire.He was deceived by Liang Shijie that day and escorted his birth date like a fool. This was a great shame and humiliation for a vanguard.Immediately, he clapped his horse forward, turned his golden ax, and headed straight for the future.

Li Chengwu raised his two sabers and straightened Suo Chao on his horse.Two inferior horses meet each other, and the two kinds of weapons are raised simultaneously, and the army shouts.Fight to more than [-] joints, regardless of victory or defeat.In Lu Qian's army, Hu Sanniang was turned around in the vanguard. Seeing that Suo Chao was no match for Li Cheng, he also danced his two swords and stepped forward to attack.The three horses intertwined Pan Heng, Hu Sanniang was not as strong as Suo Chao and Li Cheng, she just touched her two swords lightly, and walked away as soon as she touched them, fighting around.After another ten rounds like this, he immediately picked up the red brocade lasso, and when Li Cheng was watching for a kiss, he let it go with a swish, and Li Cheng was caught off guard, and his body was pulled away from the saddle early.It's just that he reacted quickly, just when he felt something was wrong, he hurriedly clamped the horse's belly with his legs, but Hu Sanniang's delay did not drag him off the horse.

But this battle is not Li Cheng vs. Hu Sanniang, don't forget about Suo Chao next to him.Just smashing the big ax horizontally, Li Cheng received a blow to his psoas, and then a strong force hit him, knocking him off the saddle and falling to the ground.The Thunderbolt, the leader of the horse army, pointed at the mace, and thousands of horse troops rushed over.None of the [-] horsemen from the Daming Mansion who were killed escaped, and they were either killed or captured.

It's just that the officers and soldiers on duty at the head of the Daming Mansion's city had already noticed the killing, and some officers immediately sent someone to inform the Liushou Mansion.Unfortunately, this is doomed to be delusional.Lu Qian's army didn't rush out of the city long ago to wait for the first watch. He led the army to arrive when the time was about to turn to the first watch.The Liangshan army had already rested in the field ten miles away for an hour before.

Cuiyun played a drum upstairs.Shi Qian carried a basket full of sulphur, flame nitrate, and fire powder, and put a few geese [ancient women's headgear] on the basket, and he had already entered Cuiyun Tower.In the pavilion, the shengxiao was played, the drums were played, and the clouds were raised to make noise in the society. The children were making a fuss, and they were all playing upstairs.Shi Qian lit sulfur flames on the Cuiyun Tower, Li Si prepared all these things for him, and lit a lot of fire.The flames soared to the sky, and the flames took over the moon, very vast.

Liang Shijie was still eating, drinking and having fun, when he suddenly saw the Cuiyun Tower on fire, and there was a lot of noise outside the left-behind mansion, so he suddenly became alert.But they didn't think it was the Liangshan army who came to invade, but only knew that the Cuiyun Tower accidentally leaked water, which caused panic in the whole city.

Immediately, the magistrate on the left was asked to personally lead more than a hundred policemen who stayed in the mansion to suppress them in the street with long shackles and iron chains. [The Daming Mansion is the home of the old Zhao in Beijing. According to the old practice of the Northern Song Dynasty, the left-behind division of Beijing must also know the Daming Mansion. It is impossible to have both the left-behind mansion and the magistrate (Wang Taishou).But is this a novel?]

But he said that Liang Shijie was still sitting idle in front of the yamen, just asking people to dismiss the singing and dancing, so he was not in a panic.Unexpectedly, in just a moment, meteor scouts reported one after another that there were bandits invading the city, and Li Cheng, who was patrolling outside the city, was probably wiped out.Immediately, he was frightened out of his wits, and hurriedly called to prepare his horse.

Before I finished speaking, I saw that Wang Zhifu fled back in embarrassment.But he was shot by a nest of bows and crossbows. If it was not lucky, he himself would have died.

Li Si is so familiar with the officials of the Daming Mansion's Zuoyuan workshop, and it is convenient to communicate at the city gate, he has prepared hundreds of swords, armors and bows in secret, and now they are coming in handy.

Moreover, these selected people are all elite and brave men of Liangshanbo, and there is a leader who takes the lead. If an attack occurs, won't it be called Daming Fucheng?
Liang Shijie first heard that there was a rebellion by bandits at the South Gate, so he ordered Wen Da to lead the army to suppress it.As a result, in the blink of an eye, there was another chaos in Dongcheng, and he hurriedly asked people to inquire.But before the confidant sent back came back, a soldier rushed to report that the East City Gate had been taken by bandits, and they were waiting for a large group of bandits from outside the city to come in.

When asked where the thief was, it was naturally Liang Shanbo.The big "Liang" character stood up and was clearly visible in the firelight.

Liang Shijie immediately took away the young man and gave up all his money. He only led his companions to protect the young man and ran north.It's just that Fang Tianding had already targeted his little life. He stayed in front of the department, and as soon as a group of people rushed out, Fang Tianding led Fang Jie, Li Tianrun, Gao Yu and others to rush forward.

There are some brave companions around Liang Shijie, but compared to Fang Jie and Li Tianrun, is it not like a mantis holding back a car?As for Liang Shijie and the Cai family, they were fine, they were guarded by layers of guards, but Wang Taishou was not good, they were shot by Gao Yu, and fell to the ground with his stomach straight.

Seeing that he was about to be unable to block it, at this moment, Wen Da took the lead, led an army to fight a bloody path, rushed over, protected Liang Zhongshu and Cai Shi, and left.I saw the sound of killing with his left hand resounding, Li Tianrun was in the middle of the torches, wielding a spear in his hand, and went straight to grab Liang Zhongshu.Fang Jie was guarding Fang Tianding.Wen Da raised his sword and came to meet the enemy.Although he had no intention of fighting, he spent more than a dozen times hiding his extravagance and lost nearly half of the army. He fought and left, protecting Liang Zhongshu Cai's father and mother, and escaped on the road.

At that time, in the Grand Master's Mansion in Tokyo, Cai Jing and his son were still having fun.Because every year and festival is the day when their father and son make a fortune.Received the news of the collapse of the Daming Mansion at such a moment, Cai Jing was so anxious that a mouthful of phlegm clogged his heart, and he gave up on the spot.

Immediately, he was dispatched to the government that day, and the privy officer Zheng Juzhong and the commander-in-chief Gao Qiu were invited to come to discuss important military matters.When they didn't move, the two came together, and the Taiwei of the three Yamen also dared to go to the festival hall to see the Taishi.

Cai Jing elaborated on the crisis in Beijing, "The Daming Mansion is the most benevolent place in Hebei, and it has innumerable reserves of money, food and military equipment. Now it has been taken away by Liangshan thieves. If they transport it all back to Shuipo , the strength of the bandits will definitely increase by leaps and bounds. In the coming year, no matter how many elite soldiers Gao Taiwei gathers to strengthen the future, it will be difficult for him to succeed easily."

"Furthermore, Daming Mansion is an important place for the imperial court. If the loss of Beijing is spread, where will the dignity of the imperial court be placed? How can we, the ministers who serve the country, stand in the world? What strategies and good generals will we use now to retreat quickly? Thieves and soldiers to protect the city?"

When Cai Jing said this, it sounded like the same thing.In fact, there are two meanings before and after.First of all, it is to tell everyone that Liangshanbo's strength will be greatly increased; secondly, it is to tell them how to get rid of the Liangshanpo bandits as soon as possible.Before and after seem to be the same thing at first glance, but in fact the two have nothing to do with each other.Is there any connection between Liang Shanbo's sudden increase in strength and the gains and losses of Daming Mansion?As long as they don't talk about it, how will the officials know?
After what he said, all the officials looked at each other, each with embarrassment.
