Lord: Start with a copy of Water Margin

Outside Xintai City, Zhao Xin and others escorted the chariots into the camp. Hundreds of carts and more than a thousand people came in. Not to mention the minions guarding the city wall, even Wang Feibao, the guard of Xintai City, was even more frightened when he saw it.

Not mentioning that Wang Feibao sent a messenger again that night to Laiwu prison to ask for help, he only said that Zhao Xin and others entered Zhao Zhen's camp and met Zhao Zhen. Zhao Xin knelt on the ground and said: "The common people in the mountains do not know the general. There was a misunderstanding, and today the villain escorted this year's autumn tax to deliver the goods, and offered two pieces of armor to ask for forgiveness. "

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen helped Zhao Xin up and said: "I also heard that a wise couple in Zhaojia Village were plotted for a while without checking, so they had to ask Mr. Qiao Daoqing, the military counselor [Huanmojun] in the account, to tell fortunes under the guise of fortune telling. Pi Gua went to Zhaojia Village."

Qiao Daoqing, who was standing aside, heard this and stepped forward and said, "Don't blame me, the owner of the village. I'm a poor Taoist."

Zhao Xin smiled and said, "I would also like to thank you sir. It's all thanks to your advice that we can turn the hostility into friendship. After your husband left, Mr. Shi Gugong once said that he is probably someone from the high-ranking officials in Liangshan, and it is indeed the case."

Zhao Xin saw that there was no sense of urgency in the battle in the camp. The soldiers actually had time to practice in the school field. Zhao Xin said: "Officials, how come you don't see us attacking the city?"

Zhao Zhen said: "Hey, I want to take this Xintai. It's easy. But there is not much progress in the other ways of the imperial court. I am just an observer in Ji Mizhou. The imperial court does not allocate any food, grass or ordnance, but I have to pity the lives of the sergeants and attack the city. The casualties will inevitably be heavy, so now we only besiege but not attack. We fire some artillery on the city every night and beat the drums in the middle of the night, just to tire out the defenders in the city. "

After hearing this, Zhao Xin said: "There are mostly idle people in the court, and there are also high-ranking officials who form cliques and seek personal gain. Naturally, they are very harsh on me and others in the state capital. My family also paid taxes every year, but later the government failed to do anything. We have to pay for everything, but it may not work. The bandits in the mountains are disturbing the village, and they can't hide. I will ask the leader to train the villagers to protect themselves. "

Zhao Zhen also nodded and said: "That's it. Because I was good at using guns and sticks, I slowly recruited many heroes to guard the place. I killed more bandits and slowly reached this point. Although I was in charge of a state, there were also fewer Many freedoms and imperial edicts must be followed.”

Zhao Xin listened and echoed a few words.

"The villain is also good at guns and sticks. Every household in the village has a villager to train to protect the village. Since I graduated from school, there have been few opponents in Yizhou. The villain has heard that there are countless heroes under the command of high officials. If there is an opportunity, I can ask for advice. That’s good.”

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen said to Zhao Xin, "What's the difficulty?" After saying that, he sent people to bring Zhao Xin and others' weapons and armors, and they all came to the school grounds.

On the school field, when the sergeants heard about the competition, they all made room. There were three levels inside and three levels outside standing on the outside.

Here at Zhao Zhen, the commanders of each battalion also put on their armor and came to the front.

This Zhao Xin was carrying a gilt ink, was covered in gold chain mail, and was riding a yellow fat horse. He stepped forward first and sang a promise: "I wonder who is willing to compete."

Seeing how Zhao Xin was engaging in a horse fight, Lin Chong rode on the frost-flowered horse and also made a promise: "Master, I will come to summon the owner of the village."

Seeing Zhao Zhen nodding, Lin Chong also rode forward.

Immediately, the two of them bowed to each other, and Lin Chong was the first to speak: "Summon the owner of the village, a certain [Leopard Head] Lin Chong, come to ask for advice."

The drums were being beaten on the left and right sides, and two horses were seen grabbing Gai Xin. A pair of heroes were going back and forth in the school yard, circling around, each showing off their martial arts skills. Only saw:

Two weapons were raised simultaneously, a gilt boring machine went straight to the top door, and a spear measuring eight feet long stayed close to the heart. A flame shot out from the tip of the spear, and several rays of cold light burst out from the boring blade. Everyone can see the flaws, so take some time off.

The two fight together for more than fifty years, with no winner or loser. The soldiers all around looked at it and cheered. On the top of the city, the people guarding the city were trembling with fear.

On the general stage, a group of heroes summoned the steward of the village and couldn't help shouting: "Fighting!"

Zhao Zhen's martial arts skills were not good enough. He couldn't tell the outcome of the fight between the two, and he was afraid that one of them would be injured internally, so he asked Hu Sanniang next to him: "Sanniang, which one of these two has better martial arts skills?"

Hu Sanniang said: "It's really hard to say. The two of them are both top-notch in martial arts. I'm afraid it's hard to tell them apart."

After fighting for another thirty rounds, neither of them showed any sign of decline. Zhao Zhen ordered to stop the drums and beat the gongs on the stage to tell the two to stop fighting.

The two men on the field heard the sound of the gong, reined in their horses, dismounted in front of the general's platform, put down their weapons, and came up to the stage.

Zhao Xin cupped his hands and said, "Today's battle was very enjoyable. The title of leader of the 800,000 Forbidden Army is well-deserved."

Lin Chong also said: "Zhao Village Master's martial arts skills are not inferior to mine."

After saying that, both of them laughed.

"Fortunately, Zuo Xiaoqi's [Thunderbolt Fire] Qin Ming and [Double Spear General] Dong Ping in the vanguard camp are not here, otherwise we would have to take control of this battle from these two."

After hearing this, Zhao Xin said: "There are many heroes under the command of Zhao Daguan in Liangshan. When I saw them today, it turns out that there are many good men despite their great reputation."

Gao Liang also said: "Unfortunately, the flying knife I learned is difficult to demonstrate."

Zhao Zhen said: "After all, this is not a life and death fight. It is difficult to control this flying knife."

Gao Liang nodded, looked at Liu Huiniang and others beside Zhao Zhen and said: "The high officials are open-minded, and there are actually female generals in the camp."

Wu Yong said: "Madam, I don't know. The high official commanded a female cavalry, and led Mrs. Chen Liqing to fight against the generals in the city a few days ago. They killed [Flying Centipede] Wu Qian in formation. His martial arts is really impressive."

After hearing this, Mr. Gao Liang's eyes lit up and he said to Liu Huiniang: "Looking at how delicate and fragile Madam is, she is actually a battlefield hero."

Liu Huiniang smiled and said: "There I am, the little girl Liu Huiniang. I have no power and can only give some ideas. This one is sister Liqing."

As she spoke, Liu Huiniang pointed to Chen Liqing beside her.

Gao Liang was shocked when he saw Chen Liqing in military uniform: "How old is your sister?"

"My little sister is twenty-eight years old this year."

Liu Huiniang said: "If it weren't for the conquest of Song Jiang, my sister would be a member of the officialdom now."

He pointed at Hu Sanniang, Sister Gu, and Hua Baoyan and said them one by one.

Hearing that Chen Liqing's pear gun weighs thirty-six pounds and has amazing shooting skills, I seem to be disbelieving.

Chen Liqing didn't have any secrets in her mind and thrust her pear blossom gun into Gao Liang's hand. She seemed to be saying, "How about it? Is it thirty-six pounds?"

Mr. Gao Liang weighed the spear in his hand and said, "Sure enough, women are not inferior to men." As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a lone wild goose overhead, heading south.

When Chen Liqing saw it, she took off Ta Yuan's precious carved bow, put on a carved feathered wolf tooth arrow, and shot down the goose with just one arrow.

When Gao Liang saw it, he was shocked and praised repeatedly: "High officials know people well and make good use of them. They don't praise or criticize men and women. No wonder they have created such a big situation. I also have four girls beside me, named Osmanthus, Mint, Bergamot, and Rose. They are all dressed in Due to their gender identity, I only asked them to serve in the village because of their martial arts skills. Seeing that my sister was always inconvenienced in the military camp when she was young, I gave these four girls to my sister. From now on, they can also take care of her daily life in the military camp and also in the battle field. It can cover one or two.”

Chen Liqing listened but said nothing and looked at Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen was just thinking about how to refuse, when Wu Yong said from the side: "My wife is still thoughtful, so the two families have some affection, and a misunderstanding has been solved."

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen also said: "What I said is that although it started with a misunderstanding, I got to know a virtuous couple, and my visit to Yizhou was not in vain."

Gao Liang said at this time: "Guanren, when you were weak, didn't you meet the Immortal Saint of Shanyin and say that you should have some achievements in the future? In today's world, could it be that a high official is in the right place?"

After hearing this, Qiao Daoqing said: "If the owner of the village is also from a farmer, it will be difficult if he wants to be promoted to a noble position. Here, high-ranking officials do not talk about their origins, but only rely on their ability. The owner of the village has the ability to stand out. "

Wu Yong also said: "What I'm saying is, if nothing else, let's just talk about Yizhou. No matter what, the senior officials can always recommend one or two. Apart from other things, in the future, there will be officials, and in this land, there will be Many conveniences.”

After hearing this, Zhao Xin said: "In recent years, I have seen too many flies and dogs in the county, and I am too slow to think about it. Practicing village bravery is just to protect the village, and to eat the hair and soil with sincerity. Today, when I meet the high officials, I have the desire to make contributions again. . It’s just that the princes in the court form cliques and seek nepotism, so I’m afraid there will be trouble in the future.”

Zhao Zhen said: "That's okay. Let's not talk about the foreign captives. There are countless people in the state capitals who go up the mountains and fall grass. What's more, the four major bandits roam the land and the state capitals can't control it. Qingzhou Songjiang will not be destroyed, and the imperial court will definitely not deliberately Make things difficult for me."

After hearing this, Zhao Xin said: "That's what the senior officials said. This is the case. I am willing to serve the senior officials. If one day I am not happy, my wife and I will just go back to the mountains and forests."

Zhao Zhen was overjoyed when he heard about it and asked people to hold a banquet to entertain everyone.

On the second day, Zhao Xin and three other people came to say goodbye. Zhao Xin said: "Officials, please allow me to go back to the village. I will select 2,000 elite men. They will bring their own armor and weapons and come to the camp to listen to them."

Zhao Zhen said: "I will wait here. Brother, leave early and come back early."

After sending away the people called Xinyi, Zhao Zhen left Wu Yong and Qiao Daoqing behind and let the others disperse.

Zhao Zhen said: "Do you two brothers have any ideas on how to arrange this Zhao Xin?"

Qiao Daoqing said: "This Zhaojia Village is a village, but it occupies a huge area. When I went there, the local soldiers were practicing well, so why not ask them to form a new army?"

Wu Yong said: "It doesn't matter to establish a new army. If he intends to stay in Yizhou, it doesn't matter if the senior officials recommend him to be a training envoy of the Mengyin County regiment. If he intends to follow the senior officials, he needs to make preparations in advance. He is doing this." The family members of the sergeant will be sent back to Liangshan Prefecture, several flat areas will be allocated, several new villages will be built, and they will be dispersed in various places. In this way, the sergeant will also be slightly disrupted, and the two original regiment training coaches in the village will be his. Lieutenant General.

"As for Shi Gugong, he is indeed the one who handles the documents of Guanhui. He is asked to be the magistrate of Liangshan County. In this way, it is not easy to stop Zhaoxin and his wife. From now on, Zhaoxin and his wife will only serve as generals in the state, and he and his wife will take charge of this work." The soldiers are not afraid of rebellion."

Zhao Zhen said: "I believe that Zhao Xin and his wife are both noble-minded people. Since they have made up their mind to vote, they must be whole-hearted."

Qiao Daoqing also nodded in agreement.

Wu Yong said: "Master, no matter what, this Zhaojia Village will not be relocated this year, but the construction of the village can be arranged in advance. Even if it is not used here, we can still recruit from these counties when we join forces. A group of villagers who are willing to go to Liangshan Prefecture.”

Zhao Zhen said: "That's right. After the fog is dispersed among the counties in Liangshan Prefecture, there are a lot of wastelands. It is always good to recruit more bankers."

With this, Zhao Zhen sent the text and seal to Xiao Rang, who asked him to choose a site, and asked Tao Zongwang of [Building Camp] to lead people to build a village square to prepare for the resettlement of villagers.

Before the official document was sent away, Bai Sheng led [Crossing Mouse] Zhang San and [Grass Snake] Li Si in. After seeing the ceremony, Zhang San said: "Sir, my wife has assigned me and two to deliver the letter. There is a A great monk from the south of the Yangtze River, who calls himself Deng Yuanjue, comes to the village to seek refuge with a high official. "

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen asked: "Is it just this one person? What are the arrangements now?"

Why did Zhao Zhen ask this? It turns out that in October, Zhao Zhen had already spent ten points of luck to activate the summoning of the Earthly Demon. However, the person summoned was not a character in Tiangang Disha, but a woman named Pang Qiuxia. The one who didn’t want to come was a great monk.

"There is only one great monk. The high official is not here, so it is inconvenient for Madam to keep this great monk in the village. Xiao Tongpan sent this monk to the Crock Temple for temporary residence. My Madam asked how to place this monk?" Li Si replied.

Wu Yong said, "Sir, I was about to say that now that the weather has turned cold, it is better to prepare to withdraw the troops. Otherwise, we can take Xintai City, and the sergeants can garrison the county town to keep warm. In this way, one army and horses will be left to garrison, and the rest will be stationed." The sergeants can all go back to Liangshan Prefecture to rest. The imperial court can’t fault me.”

Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "That's right. With this Xintai City, the soldiers can survive the winter easily. It seems that the artillery battalion is about to show its power."

Wu Yong shook his head and said: "Officials, after these days of torture, I am afraid that Wang Feibao will not be able to withstand it anymore. Why not write hundreds of messages and shoot them into the city tonight. If you can recruit this person, it will be better than attacking the city and fighting."

When Zhao Zhen heard this, he agreed and asked Wu Yong to draft a memorandum. The literate sergeants in the army copied thousands of copies and shot them into the city at night.

On the second day, Zhao Zhen ordered his troops and horses, called the drums three times, set up a battle formation, and advanced towards Xintai City together. Lu Zhishen, Dong Ping, Qin Ming, Huang Xin, Luan Tingfang, Ou Peng, Ma Lin and Ling Zhenye from the north gate Pressed up from the north gate.

Before Zhao Zhen could send someone to shout, he saw a white flag flying at the top of the city, the city gate slowly opened, and a big man walked out with his upper body bare.
