Lord: Start with a copy of Water Margin

[Flower Knife] As soon as Meng Futong finished speaking, Zhou Tong heard it and hurriedly shouted: "Surrender."

As the shouts came, the young men who had been forcibly conscripted threw down their weapons. The other bandits saw it and threw down their weapons.

Under the leadership of Zhou Tong and the other two, the Qingzhou bandits in the city surrendered one after another. The other three gates were also dug open, and Li Zhong and others welcomed Zhao Zhen and others into the city.

The Qingzhou bandits removed their armor and weapons, and were escorted by soldiers to the camp for custody.

Amid the noise, Zhao Zhen and others came to the government office.

Zeng Sheng spoke first: "Sir, you are wise and brave. I just came here and I encountered the good fortune of breaking the city." As he said, Zeng Sheng pointed to the big man standing beside him and said: "This is my fourth brother Zeng Kui. I will also fight the Qingzhou bandits here in the future."

Zeng Kui stepped forward and greeted.

Zhao Zhen looked carefully. Zeng Kui was about 20 years old, with a yellowish complexion, eight feet tall, and holding a steel spear in his hand.

Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "This is the best. You brothers can take care of each other when you are together."

Zeng Sheng said, "Sir, the Qingzhou bandit leader captured three people. Please give them to my brothers to kill and pay tribute to my deceased brother."

Li Zhong heard this and shouted, "Killing prisoners is not good. Besides, these three people have surrendered to you. How can you kill them?"

Tang Bin also said, "Yes, this [Little Tyrant] Zhou Tong is an old acquaintance of yours."

Liu Hui Niang said, "Sir, others can be forgiven, but Ruan Qixiang cannot be kept. First of all, this man is an official who harms the people. He is corrupt and has committed many evils. Now that he has been captured, please order him to be taken to Yizhou Prefecture for a fair punishment to appease the people's resentment."

Zhao Zhen glanced at the After pondering for a moment, he said to the three brothers Zeng Sheng: "The Qingzhou bandits who harmed your brother were not these three. I have asked people to find out clearly that it was the Qingzhou bandit's military strategist [Ghost Seer] Lai Yong'er who designed it, [Fei Lian] Huangfu Xiong, [Iron Arhat] Fa Tong, [Mountain Bear] Zhao Fu ambushed and plotted against General Zeng Tu."

"Now that Laiwu has been sent down, the next step is to join forces to besiege Laiwu. This Ruan Qixiang will be handed over to you three brothers, and beheaded under Laiwu City. First, it will boost morale, and second, this head will also be counted as your brothers' credit. This [Flower Knife] Meng Futong did not commit a big crime, and he was the first to order surrender. How about forgiving him for the sake of our few casualties?"

The three brothers of the Zeng family heard it, and it was not easy to object. After all, this strategy was proposed by Zhao Zhen. Li Zhong and Zhen Xianglin entered the city first, and Tang Bin and Yang Tengjiao cut the iron chain with a big axe. The two brothers were just pretending to be soldiers in pursuit, and there was not much danger. Zhao Zhen generously surrendered another bandit leader and reported to Hu Yanzhuo. The court would not be without rewards for the three brothers.

With this, the three brothers Zeng Sheng agreed in one breath.

Unfortunately, there were no civilians in Laiwu Prison except the soldiers and able-bodied men guarding the city. The granaries were full of food, wine and meat, but there was no gold or silver at all.

After the three brothers Zeng Sheng met, they only took thirty or fifty carts of wine and meat. The three brothers were going to Laizhou City. The food and grass were all dispatched by the court. These food and grass could not be sent back to Zengtou City, so they were all given to Zhao Zhen.

That day, everyone drank and celebrated in Laiwu Prison.

The next day, Zhao Zhen was about to send the captured Qingzhou bandits to Liangshan Prefecture, and saw Li Ying, who was stationed in Xintai City, riding into the city.

Without waiting for Zhao Zhen to ask, Li Ying said: "Sir, the judge sent a pigeon to say that Liang Heng of Xingren Prefecture has raised troops to attack Fan County."

Zhao Zhen was shocked. At this time, how dare Xingren Prefecture invade Liangshan territory.

Zhao Zhen took the pigeon letter and saw that it was indeed written on it that Liang Heng of Xingren Prefecture led 5,000 troops to invade Fan County, and Chao Gai and Sun An led troops to confront them, asking Zhao Zhen to return quickly.

Zhao Zhen saw it and asked someone to invite the three brothers of the Zeng family to come. He showed the pigeon letter to the three of them and said, "Xingren Prefecture rebelled and invaded the state border. I have to return to Liangshan to take charge of the situation. You three will go to Laiwu today. I will leave someone to guard Laiwu."

Zeng Sheng and the other two looked at each other in surprise.

After sending off the troops of Zengtou City, Zhao Zhen beat the drum and summoned all the generals to discuss matters.

After reading the pigeon letter, all the generals shouted that they would return to Liangshan Prefecture and kill the Xingren Prefecture soldiers who invaded the border.

Zhao Zhen shook his head: "Laiwu Prison is in a strategic location and is also an iron-producing area. If it weren't for the trick, I don't know how many soldiers would have to be consumed to occupy this place. This place must not be lost. Please call Brother Xin to lead the garrison."

"Most of the men who stayed in the city were miners. These two thousand people will also stay. In addition to repairing the city walls and guarding the city, brothers also have to watch these miners mining. Brother Li Ying will still be stationed in Xintai for rescue. Brothers Jie Zhen and Jie Bao will go to Mengyin to guard against small groups of bandits in the mountains. I will also transfer the two naval forces of Ouyang Shoutong and Zhang Heng to enter the Mouwen River for support."

"You just need to defend Laiwu Prison. Don't worry about Laiwu City. Wait until I defeat the invasion of Xingren Prefecture, then talk about other things."

"Brothers Wang Tianba and Tang Bin will lead the left and right brave cavalry camps to follow me back to Liangshan."

After Zhao Zhen said this, everyone agreed and began to mobilize troops.

Zhao Zhen had already prepared for the invasion of Xingren Prefecture. In Zhao Zhen's opinion, Chao Gai and Sun An's troops were enough to resist the troops of Xingren Prefecture.

Today, he behaved so badly in front of the three brothers of the Zeng family. The mobilization of troops in the camp was just to show them to the three brothers of the Zeng family so that they could withdraw and return to Liangshan. In this way, Hu Yanzhuo and others had nothing to say.

Zhao Zhen left Wang Tianba and Tang Bin to lead the cavalry to escort more than 3,000 Qingzhou bandits. Under the leadership of Li Zhong, Zhou Tong and Meng Futong, these surrendered Qingzhou bandits were relatively safe.

A correct version in 1619 Book Bar!

Originally, Zhou Tong wanted to send all these people to Liangshan to mine. He said to Zhao Zhen, "Most of these people are from the government troops of Qingzhou and Weizhou. They have some experience in fighting. It is better to recruit them as wing troops. They are much more useful than civilians in escorting food and grass on the battlefield."

Zhao Zhen thought about it and agreed.

Zhao Zhen took the female riders and the flag guards and rushed back to Liangshan.

No words were spoken on the way. After returning to Baishi Manor, Zhao Zhen sent someone to invite Xiao Rang.

After greeting, Zhao Zhen asked, "Brother, how is Fan County?"

Xiao Rang said, "Sir, we have been prepared. As soon as Liang Heng led his troops to the border, Chao Gai and Sun An blocked them. Now they are confronting each other."

As he said, Xiao Rang handed the official document to Zhao Zhen. After reading it, Zhao Zhen felt relieved.

The letter stated that Liang Heng seemed to have some concerns. After seeing the Liangshan troops, he did not fight. He set up a large camp and asked people to ask if he had seen a monk named Pu Hong.

Chao Gai just said he had never seen it and told Liang Heng to leave quickly. Liang Heng just shouted at Chao Gai to hand over Tang Meng, who killed Pu Hong, and the body of the leopard.

Xiao Rang said: "Sir, it seems that Pu Hong's body has been found."

Zhao Zhen nodded, frowned and said: "I'm afraid it has. I don't know if Gao Yanei has informed Gao Qiu."

"Are you worried about the Dai Zong brothers?" Xiao Rang asked.
