Lord: Start with a copy of Water Margin

Early on the next morning, Zhao Zhen had just had breakfast and was about to accompany Cheng Wan'er to Qiuzi Temple when he saw Chen Lingwei, that is, Wang Gongren, pushing open the door.

When she saw Zhao Zhen, Chen Lingwei blushed slightly and said, "My lord, Xiao Tong has received a letter from Fei Ge from Yuncheng County. The angel will arrive at the state capital tomorrow."

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen said to Cheng Wan'er: "It seems that we can't go to Qiuzi Temple. I'll come back one day."

Cheng Wan'er said: "It's important for the angel, I'll rush back as soon as possible."

Zhao Zhen nodded and said to Chen Lingwei: "I wanted to stay in Yuncheng County for a few days and look around, but it was really unlucky. I just hope that you and Yan Shude will get married soon and treat me to a wedding drink."

Chen Lingwei blushed and said to Zhao Zhen: "My husband and his wife are matchmakers, so there is no way we can save this glass of wine."

After a long journey, Zhao Zhen returned to Baishi Manor. Xiao Rang came to tell him the news he had received from Fan County. After hearing this, Zhao Zhen asked: "The Imperial Guard only escorted three carriages?"

Xiao Rang nodded affirmatively and said, "Mr. sir, that's what the letter said."

"Hey..." Zhao Zhen sneered.

Liu Huiniang on the side said: "Officials don't need to worry. Looking at the Laiwu War, Hu Yanzhuo has insufficient troops and cannot unite all the armies. Defeat is inevitable. By then, the court will still have time to use officials."

Xiao Rang also said: "Madam is right. The spies have reported. Now the Qingzhou thieves seem to have learned about the mobilization of troops and horses from the imperial court. The Qingzhou thieves have gathered on the north road. The winner is still unknown."

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen said to the two of them: "The cunning rabbit is not dead, but the good dog has been abandoned. We must also prepare early. Now the area under Liangshan's jurisdiction is long and narrow from east to west, and it will be very inconvenient to defend in the future. Now Laizhou has only Xianyuan, Sishui and Laiwu The third prison is in my hands, and Laiwu is still there. In the hands of the Qingzhou thieves, Fengfu is where Hu Yanzhuo stores grain and grass, and they do not care about these two places. Xia County, Gong County, and Zou County are located between Zhongdu County and Xianyuan County, although there are magistrates. , but there are no troops stationed there, I intend to take these three counties to disperse the fog and connect them with Yizhou."

"As for Dongping Prefecture, excluding Yanggu County, Zhongdu County, and Shouzhang County that were placed under Liangshan, there are only three counties: Xucheng, Dong'a, and Pingyin. Naturally, Wai Weng will not make things difficult for me. There is only one military and horse supervisor. [Sai Cunxiao] Yao Gang is a confidant of Captain Gao. Apart from this person, this Dongping Mansion is also in my pocket."

After hearing this, Xiao Rang thought about it and said, "My lord, it is not difficult to capture these places. Regardless of the message, the soldiers will not be able to resist when they pass by. If this is the case, I am afraid that the court will not rest. If the imperial court raises troops to attack, my troops here are so dispersed that I am afraid they will not be a match."

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen said worriedly: "The imperial court has great righteousness and is very wary of us. Especially Captain Gao, who has repeatedly caused mischief. The war horse promised by the official himself can be replaced by a silver-sided horse. Captured Wan Qirong knew the Qingzhou Army's plan in advance, but only three carriages came. I want to see who Baobao is."

Liu Huiniang said at this time: "Officials, although we can't take over these county towns openly, I have a way, maybe we can try it."

"What are your ideas, madam?"

"Don't officials occupy Xianyuan and Sishui? Xia County, Gong County, and Zouxian County, these three places have troops stationed in this way to protect the grain roads. It makes sense. As for the future, it will also have to be Qingzhou Let’s talk after the thief is eliminated,” Liu Huiniang said.

Xiao Rang said: "Madam is right. There are no forbidden troops in these three counties. They are just more than a thousand troops under the command of the county magistrate. They can only scare the people, and there is not much use in fighting. All it takes is a general to lead his troops to garrison. , the county magistrates also I don't dare to resist. As for Yao Gang, I can ask the boss to escort the weapons and supplies to Hu Yanzhuo to work for the army. Now he is in need of sergeants. As long as the boss gives a little hint, I am not afraid that he will not detain Yao Gang to serve in the army. "

After Zhao Zhen heard this, he immediately wrote a letter and asked Li San to send it to Dongping Mansion.

He also sent people to invite Zhu Wu. After seeing the ceremony, Zhao Zhen told everything about the capture of Yanzhou and asked, "Military advisor, who do you think can go?"

Zhu Wu pondered for a moment and said: "My lord, each army is generally led by one commander, two auxiliaries, and three people. Although they can be mobilized, they are not the most suitable people. Why not let [Meibeard Gong] Zhu Tong and [Sai Lianpo] Pang Yi , [Charge] Wang Jin and the other three go forward?”

After hearing this, Xiao Rang clapped his hands and said: "Yes, these three, Pang Yi and Wang Jin, are all skilled in martial arts. They only train new recruits, and they are overqualified and underused. Now they are stationed in one place, which is just right."

Zhao Zhen heard this and did not hesitate. He immediately wrote a general order and sent Zhao Ji to deliver the order. Zhu Dian, Pang Yi, and Wang Jin each led 500 people to go to Xia County, Gong County, and Zouxian County.

On the second day, Zhu and the others came to the village to thank Zhao Zhen, and then led their troops to various counties.

At noon, Angel entered Liangshan County with great fanfare, and Xiao Rang led his people to welcome Angel and his party into Baishi Manor.

It's just that the person who announced the decree was neither Hou Meng, who was familiar with him, nor Liu Bin, Gao Qiu's confidant. Instead, he had a new face, one named He Yan.

But this man was arrogant and ignored Zhao Zhen's advances. He started to rebuke: "Zhao Observer, the Grand Master asked me to tell you that you can attack Mizhou from Yizhou, but can't you go straight to Qingzhou?"

After hearing this, Li Kui jumped down, grabbed He Yan, and punched him.

Xiao Rang, Zhu Wu and others quickly came to stop them. These two were no match for Li Kui. If they hadn't been worried about hurting the two of them, they would have thrown them away. Even so, a pair of iron fists also hit He Yan five times. Seven times.

Just when he was able to take it apart, He Yan shouted like a pig: "Who is this guy? How dare you beat an angel."

Li Kui shouted: "Bah, you are an angel, you are so incompetent. My master is trying his best to kill thieves, and he has not been promoted to any official position. There is not even a piece of gold and silver. The reward is only some brocade and royal wine. The official family is too stingy. Also This Master Bird is even more rude. He doesn't even get a reward, but he dares to reprimand me. If I see him, I will make him eat my fists."

He Yan said: "Thunder, rain, and dew are all due to your kindness. Moreover, the placement envoy was a commoner and became a high-ranking official today. The Grand Master has many promotions, so the placement envoy should be grateful."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Kui raised his fist and started to punch again.

He Yan scolded: "Vulgar martial artist. Zhao Fang envoy..." While cursing, he hid behind Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen scolded and asked someone to pull Li Kui down.

Zhao Zhen apologized and said: "This is a rough man with only a lot of strength. This guy doesn't know etiquette. Don't blame the angels."

Seeing that Zhao Zhen had no intention of punishing Li Kui, He Yan said angrily: "The imperial edict has been delivered. I will take my leave."

Zhao Zhen tried to persuade him to stay, but when he saw He Yanchengyi didn't want him, he insisted on leaving. He had no choice but to say to He Yan: "But it was my poor hospitality here that offended the angels. Ask the angels to tell the Grand Master on your behalf. I will unite my troops and attack Qingzhou from Yizhou, which will make the Qingzhou thieves unable to care about each other. Then ask the angels to report to the officials. Now all five counties in Mizhou have been recaptured, and the army is fighting with the Qingzhou bandits in Laizhou."

He Yan nodded without saying a word, greeted the guards of the Forbidden Army, and hurriedly left the White Stone Manor.

Xiao Rang, Zhu Wu and others saw him off. Even though they said good things, He Yan's expression did not change, so he had to say goodbye to He Yan and returned to Baishi Manor.

In the manor school grounds, Li Kui was guarding Yan Shude, Bao Xu, and Yu Bao, bragging.

Seeing Xiao Rang and Zhu Wu returning, Li Kui stepped forward with a playful smile and sang: "Tongjuan, how did Tieniu's performance go?"

Xiao Rang nodded at Li Kui and scolded: "I asked you to scare the angel, but I didn't ask you to actually beat him."

Li Kui smiled and said: "Whoever really takes action, I can't hold back my strength and kill him with one punch."

Xiao Rang and Zhu Wu looked at each other, shook their heads, left a few people behind, and entered the hall.

In the hall, Zhao Zhen is already waiting here.

After meeting Li again, Zhao Zhen asked, "How was it?"

Zhu Wudao said: "This person will definitely say bad things about my husband when he goes back."

Zhao Zhen listened and said with a smile: "I was just going to see how he responded."

"Yesterday, I asked Dai Zongxing to go to Bianjing at night and send the application documents directly to the General Affairs Department to see how he and I would respond." Xiao Rang said.

Zhu Wu said with a smile: "The Grand Master and the Grand Lieutenant are very clever at calculating. They let the horses run and not eat grass. My husband responded like this. If I want to use my husband now, I will definitely be rewarded by high-ranking officials and generous salaries. When the Qingzhou thieves are wiped out, , the two of them will definitely slander each other and harm each other."

Zhao Zhen said: "I was asking him to reward me generously, but from now on, he won't look for me."

Xiao Rang listened and nodded. The two of them believed Zhao Zhen's words about going to the main world. Taking advantage of the convenience of wiping out the Qingzhou thieves, everyone is planning to occupy more land and population.

Zhu Wudao: "My lord, the Du Xing brothers have secretly sent a thousand underwater cannons to Qingzhou thieves. Do you really want to invade Qingzhou next?"
