The Richest Man in the Heavens Starts from Outlaws of the Marsh

Chapter 83

Tong Guan was about to launch an army to fight against the rebellion, and the movement of the tossing was naturally not small.

Du Yu heard the news not long after returning to Mianshan, so he asked Shi Qian to step up the investigation and pay more attention to the whereabouts of the imperial army.

Soon after, Tong Guanxing's [-] soldiers went straight to Liangshanbo.

Du Yu's heart moved. According to the plot in the novel "Water Margin", Tong Guan's two conquests against Liangshanbo all ended in failure, and Gao Qiu led the troops to reconquer, which finally led to the recruitment.

Although the time is about half a year faster than in the novel, according to the development inertia of the world of Water Margin, Tong Guan's ending is probably the same as in the novel.

In this way, the court's attention would be firmly attracted by Song Jiang, and Du Yu planned to take this opportunity to seize more territory.

The "Hebei" he occupies now is actually the land of Shanxi, and the place next to it is the "Three Towns of Heshuo", an important military town in the Tang Dynasty.

Of course, about half of the current three towns of Heshuo are within the territory of the Liao Kingdom, but they are also gathering places of Han Chinese, and relatively speaking, the population is still very large.

The important thing is that now that the Liaojin War has entered a critical period, the energy of the Liao Kingdom is all on the Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing.

Du Yu planned to recruit new soldiers immediately, and let them carry out the task of defending the city while training.

After convening the generals to discuss, he still decided to divide the troops into two groups. One route was still led by Bian Xiang, attacking in the direction of Zhending Mansion, and the other route was led by Xu Guanzhong, attacking in the direction of Xinzhou.

All the way to the east and all the way to the north, the main purpose is to occupy the state capital with a large population and expand its strength and territory in the war.

After making the decision, Qiao Daoqing immediately started to recruit new soldiers in Weisheng Prefecture, Zhaode Mansion, and Gaizhou.

The treatment is not good, the military salary is the same as the 700 ren per month of the banned soldiers in the Song Dynasty, but they can receive three consecutive enlistment fees.

But in this day and age, being able to eat enough is already very attractive, let alone having money.

Even though there are certain risks in being a soldier of the Great Wei, it still attracts many poor people to join.The reality is actually so cruel, unless someone from a wealthy family is ambitious, no one is willing to be a rebel.

In this way, Qiao Daoqing recruited more than 20 people in less than 2 days.

After being selected according to "Ji Xiao's New Book", those considered to be elite soldiers were added to Bian Xiang's army.

The remaining half were trained by the minion soldiers who were disabled in the previous battle, and performed tasks such as defending the city and maintaining local law and order.

After preparing for more than a month, Bian Xiang, Sun An and others led an army of [-] from Weisheng Prefecture to march towards Shouyang.

On the other side, Xu Guanzhong, Luan Tingyu and others followed suit. They first recruited recruits in Fenyang and Jinning Prefectures, and after recruiting more than 2 recruits, they marched towards Xinzhou.

On the contrary, because Du Yu became the King of Wei, he was persuaded by his subordinates and stayed behind in Fenyang Mansion.

It has to be said that after the establishment of the flag, "Shi Jin" became famous, and now the green forest heroes in Hebei who have some ideas come to vote one after another.

Those generals who originally belonged to Tian Hu all became his people, and some martial arts people who were not mentioned in the novel of Water Margin came to seek refuge.

After screening, Du Yu made arrangements for those people.

Those who have harmed the common people have been sent to the cannon fodder camp one after another, and the use of waste makes them the first to join the army.The kind of hero who was persecuted by the Song government was arranged to be a small leader in the army according to his ability, and then he would be promoted based on his performance in the future.

But what gave Du Yu a headache was that there were too few people working in clerical work under him, and they were mainly those who had fallen out of the ranks, and some of them lacked ability.

It's not that there are no scholars in the five prefectures, but most of those people are from powerful noble families, and they still have illusions about the Song Dynasty court, so how could they easily vote.

He had no choice but to endure it first. He felt that the situation could improve only after his territory continued to expand and the imperial army was repelled.

Put aside Du Yu, let's talk about Tong Guan.

With [-] Imperial Forest Army as the central army, Feng Mei, the Flying Dragon General, and Bi Sheng, the Flying Tiger General under his command, served as the left and right wings.

Duan Pengju, the Military Supervisor of Suizhou, Chen Zhu, the Military Supervisor of Zhengzhou, Wu Bingyi, the Military Supervisor of Chenzhou, Han Tianlin, the Military Supervisor of Tangzhou, Li Ming, the Military Supervisor of Xuzhou, Wang Yi, the Military Supervisor of Dengzhou, and the Military Supervisor of Weizhou Ma Wanli and Songzhou soldiers and horses supervised Zhou Xin, each with 1 horses to follow.

Tong Guan left Bianliang, Tokyo, and lived in a military camp for fifty miles. The next day, he set off again and moved forward in a meandering way. After a few days, he had arrived in Jeju.

At this time, the prefect of Jeju was none other than Zhang Shuye, a famous minister of the Song Dynasty, so he naturally had to treat Tong Guan well when he entered the city.

But when asked about the situation of the bandits in Liangshan, Zhang Shuye told the truth, thinking that "although the bandits in the Songjiang River are lurking in the water, they are wild bandits in the mountains and forests, but there are many resourceful and brave men among them."Don't get angry with yourself, lead the army to drive.A good plan must be used to achieve success. '

Tong Guan was furious after hearing this, but he believed that Zhang Shuye was afraid of swords, avoiding swords, greedy for life and afraid of death, and missed the important affairs of the country, so that he became a thief.

The next day, all the troops marched towards Liangshanbo.

Unexpectedly, Song Jiang and others set up the Jiugong Bagua formation outside the water pond, led the imperial army into the formation, and defeated Tong Guan's army, losing more than 1 horses.

However, for him, it is not considered a bone-shaking injury, and he is ready to fight again after a few days of rest.

It's a pity that after losing for a while, Tong Guan didn't have a long memory. After listening to Feng Mei and Bi Sheng's words, he formed a long snake formation and pushed the army to the edge of the water.

Who knows that he fell into Wu's plan of ambush on ten sides and was surrounded and wiped out by Liangshan's army.

Bi Sheng kept Tong Guan and walked away, not daring to enter Jeju, so he led the defeated army back to Bianliang.

Feng Mei was captured by Liang Shanbo, but Song Jiang gave him a good meal in order to recruit security, and returned the horse and weapon to him and let him go back.

As for the leading generals of the other military states, they were basically hacked to death by the people of Liangshanbo.

The news that Liang Shanbo defeated the imperial court's [-] troops immediately spread throughout the Song Dynasty, and Song Jiang became the most popular boy again.

But he was not the only one who was happy. Du Yu was also very happy to see the good news from the two armies.

The Song Dynasty's policy of strong cadres and weak branches not only eliminated the hidden danger of the Tang Dynasty's Jiedushi having too much power, but also indirectly weakened the strength of the defenders in various states.

In addition, the long period of peace between the Liao and Song Dynasties led to a rapid increase in armaments. The army of Bian Xiang, Xu Guanzhong and others was as if they were destroyed, and the siege of the city went very smoothly.

Basically, they did not encounter too strong resistance, and they occupied Yangquan, Xinzhou, Shuozhou and other places, and included the entire land of Shanxi into the territory of the Great Wei.

Now the two armies are converging and are resting, preparing to launch an attack on the area around Zhending Mansion later.

Even though he didn't lead troops to fight, Du Yu was getting more and more busy. The state capital he just won needed to undergo management reform, recruit officials, recruit recruits, implement laws and regulations...

He now understands more and more why uprisings without the support of scholars in ancient times often ended in failure.

On the one hand, there is no ideological guidance, lack of unity and purpose, and on the other hand, it is impossible to operate after winning the territory, and cannot provide human and material support.

Du Yu felt that if it hadn't been for many years of business in Shaohua Mountain, he had forced to open classes to eliminate illiteracy and popularize knowledge, and cultivated a group of literate soldiers, and he might not even be able to carry out the government orders of the Great Wei.He somewhat understood why the founding kings in ancient times had to decentralize power to the gentry.

But after all, he is a person of modern time and space, and he remembered a sentence he often heard when he was part-time job, "If you don't do it, people will do it." ', he does not believe that there are still people in China who are not willing to be officials.

Therefore, he stepped up his propaganda again and recruited educated people to serve as officials in the Wei Dynasty, but with little effect.

But he is a stubborn guy, he would rather keep his official position vacant than bow to the local powerful gentry.

At this time, the news that the imperial army was defeated by Liang Shanbo finally spread to the territory of Wei, and both ordinary people and wealthy families were talking about it.

A few days later, he found that the sites for recruiting literati in various places were gradually getting busy.Many literati came uninvited to ask about relevant matters at the collection point.

Du Yu laughed secretly in his heart, as expected, they are all a group of people who follow the wind and move the rudder. Seeing that the imperial court's [-] troops have not even captured a small water pond, some people think that the Song Dynasty is exhausted, and they are looking for their own investment here.

Seeing it through but not saying it through, he really needs the help of these people, so he can only endure it first, and gradually replace it after the establishment of the country and the promotion of education in the future.

Da Wei's career is in full swing, Song Jiang is not bad, and is preparing to meet the last big boss sent by the imperial court in the novel, Gao Qi.

In a big battle, Du Yu and Song Jiang each got something.

However, as the story line of the Water Margin world rolls forward, the two will eventually meet.
