Xiao Tang remembered that he was the real power to pacify the envoy to inspect the military divisions of the states on the South Jingxi Road, at that time, because of the blame for the Fangzhou soldiers and horses to withhold military salaries, which led to a mutiny among the officers and soldiers, and Xiao Tang, who was about to be in the western part of the Jingxi Army, beheaded two soldiers and horses, and later thoroughly investigated the various crimes of Yang Tai, then the head of the soldiers and horses of the Jingnan Road, and escorted him to the Jingshi Ming Zhengzheng Punishment, which shocked the rest of the generals of the forbidden army on the South Jingxi Road, so he had to be careful to act according to orders in front of Xiao Tang's tent, and Wang Wenbin was also one of them.

However, how Wang Wenbin was at that time was not an obvious person, and now he has also served as the head of the forbidden army's gun and stick teacher, Xiao Tang thought about it according to the behavior of this person in the book, and his first feeling about this Wang Wenbin was: This guy is quite funny.

When Wang Wenbin was mentioned in the original book, he first said that he was "both civil and military, and the Manchu Dynasty admired him", and later Wang Wenbin was also escorting logistics, and he rushed to the Liangshan Military Office to deliver, and at that time, he was evaluated as a supervisor who was generous and virtuous, and even Zhao Anfu, who was in the position of deputy envoy of the Privy Council, was overjoyed to see Wang Wenbin, and said that the general came just in time. A senior member of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, who has become the vice chairman of the Central Military Commission according to his official rank in later generations, actually relies so much on a local governor and military instructor, which can only be said that if Wang Wenbin is not very capable, his bragging skills can indeed fool many people;

And at that time, after Wang Wenbin heard that Zhao Anfu said that the Liangshan army could not defeat the enemy, he pretended to be profound: "...... Wen Bin is not talented, he has read military books since he was a child, and he knows a little about formations, so he went to the front of the army, made a little strategy, and was willing to fight for a while and share his worries with Song Xianfeng. What is the fate of the unknown cardinal? Although this is also decent, in Xiao Tang's impression, in the commentary and romance he has read and heard, whenever the two armies are fighting very closely, a character suddenly pops up and will say this kind of thing, which should also be a relatively bullish character.

Later, although Wang Wenbin was dumbfounded in front of the formation, he obviously couldn't make the enemy's formation, but he wanted others to praise him for his greatness, so he patted his chest and said: "This formation is only as usual, and there is nothing surprising about it", Song Jiang, who had dealt with many fierce generals, was also bluffed by Wang Wenbin.

Further back...... Wang Wenbin was slashed with a knife, and he was sold by an enemy rider who was not a first-class general in just over 20 hours, and he was cut in two with his shoulder and chest, but what is even funnier is that this buddy's psychological activity before death is: I don't show my skills here, where can I do it?

When he thinks of Wang Wenbin's deeds, Xiao Tang will always have a popular phrase that will often be said in later generations: Are you a joke invited by Sun Monkey?

After Xiao Tang pondered it again, he could understand why Wang Wenbin wanted to be praised, and he didn't even want his own life. In later generations, Xiao Tang really came into contact with some characters who liked to brag and were good at bragging, and later bragged so much that they could believe it......

And although Wang Wenbin was born strangely and died of death, he was really a character who "sacrificed his life on the battlefield and sacrificed his life for the country", he was not a weak official who was greedy for life and afraid of death, and avoided swords and swords, and from his psychological activities and attitude towards Song Jiang and others, Wang Wenbin was also different from other court generals who had prejudices against Zhao'an's green forest people, and he really planned to share the worries and destroy the enemy for the Liangshan army. From a certain point of view, Wang Wenbin was successively treated and praised by Zhao Anfu and Song Jiang, and he was used to bragging and he couldn't admit that he was coaxed and convinced, so he could only send people thousands of miles away, and ended up with a situation that made people cry and laugh. Xiao Tang is not disgusted with this character, and he only has a ten-word evaluation in his heart for Wang Wenbin, a benevolent brother:

Live to brag, die to brag.

It's just that even if Wang Wenbin has a tendency to die by himself, Xiao Tangxin said that he can't teach this wonderful brother to delay the major event of conquering the thieves in Hedong. When he led Wang Huan and his entourage to Tongyu County, he first instructed Luo Jian to divide the camp outside the city, and after teaching the officers and soldiers who came to help stationed down, he then set up a banquet in the county government to treat Wang Huan, Han Cunbao, Xu Jing and other generals.

After the banquet was over, after Xiao Tang returned to his mansion, Xu Guanzhong and Pang Wanchun, the two henchmen who went to the county seat with the army, found his room again.

Xiao Tang first expressed his condolences to Pang Wanchun, and also thanked Daoyi for his willingness to temporarily pretend to be his own family general to assist.

At this time, since Pang Wanchun had already made up his mind to gather righteousness with Xiao Tang, he was willing to go to Hedong to help Xiao Tang, but there were only hundreds of soldiers and horses in the cottage, and the scale of the ordinary conquest was limited, and now he had the opportunity to participate in a larger battle array, and he could also hone his ability to lead the army;

Second, his sister-in-law stayed in Bianjing, he was also at ease, on the side of Baiyun Mountain in Wenzhou, Ji Ji and Lei Jiong, the two brothers got their own letter instructions, and they were temporarily in charge of the cottage, instead of returning to Jiangnan to help Xiao Tang recruit volunteers in the local area, the newly voted Pang Wanchun planned to take this opportunity to make more contributions, and also teach him to be more dignified in front of Xiao Tang's heroes;

Sanlai Pang Wanchun has always been proud of his bow and arrow skills, although he is convinced by Hua Rong's technique of leading strings, he thinks that he will not lose to him. Since that little Li Guang has repeatedly made meritorious contributions to Xiao Tang in the official face, how can he, a little Yangyouji, not have a competitive heart?

After pouring out his heart and soul with Pang Wanchun, Xiao Tang saw that Xu Guanzhong was thoughtful, so he asked, "Brother Guanzhong, why are you thinking about it?" But it doesn't hurt to say that. ”

Xu Guanzhong hesitated slightly, and then said: "Brother, when I want to use the troops, the grain and grass are important, because the time of the opening of the camps of the three armies is different, Wang Jieshuai also left 5,000 soldiers and horses to assist General Wang in escorting grain and grass, plus the soldiers and civilians on the business trip, the number seems to be enough to ensure that the logistics are not lost."

It's just that although the thieves in the territory are not as good as the two countries, in addition to the southeast region of the river, the surrounding state capitals are also considered to be peaceful for a while, and the grain road seems to be stable, but the thieves are planning, and the thieves in the east of the river are not aware of the official and military divisions, and the supply of grain and grass is crucial, not to mention that now we still have to take care of tens of thousands of displaced people, but there are treacherous and good schemers among the thieves, and they must also take advantage of the reinforcements to intercept the officers and soldiers who are holding the grain when the foothold is not stable. ”

When Xiao Tang heard this, he said that Xu Guanzhong, who was often good at calculating the movements of the enemy's army, thought of a place with himself, but he was worried about Wang Wenbin's name first, and Xu Guanzhong was completely deduced from the current situation of the war.

As Xu Guanzhong said, whether it is the state capital where the bandits in Hedong are the most serious, or the surrounding Jinggi, Hebei and other roads, they are now also the boundaries of the Great Song Dynasty, and the thief army looks like it is being attacked from all sides on the surface, plus the previous Xiao Tang led his troops to defeat the thief army in Mianshang County, Tian Hu and the strongmen under his command temporarily died down, and other generals of the forbidden army who came to help were inevitably negligent when they did not know the strength of the thieves.

What's more, with Wang Wenbin's personality, he brags and even believes in himself, which can be summed up by not only negligence.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, Yuan Shao appointed Chun Yuqiong, who was in charge of the first army, to escort the grain cart and camp in Wuchao. And now not only Wang Wenbin thinks that his ability is very good, because he is urging grain and transporting grain in the Great Song Dynasty, Wang Huan, Han Cunbao and other generals also feel that it should be okay to have Wang Wenbin, who is "both civil and military, and admired by the Manchu Dynasty......

As the leader of the Shushan Communists, Xiao Tang, who has defeated the official army, and now as the commander of the official army to conquer the thieves in Hedong, suddenly had a thought, and he secretly thought in his heart If I think about it from a different angle, if I was surrounded and suppressed by the officers and soldiers when I led the soldiers and horses of the mountains and green forests, but the men and horses under my command have the advantages of strong mobility, familiar with the terrain and terrain, and when the enemy army is large in number and needs supplies, I will also take an opportunity to cut off the other party's logistics supply.

Since I can think of this method, any strongman leader who can use some brains among the thieves in Hedong must also have this plan.
