Shi Xiu led the regiment to train Xiangyong to block the thieves who came to Kou Qian in Zongcheng County, and there were two thieves of Suo Xian and Lingguang with a jade unicorn, Lu Junyi, and Xiangyong took advantage of the situation to defeat the enemy army and keep Zongcheng County safe. In the west of the county www.biquge.info Wang Huan led Xiao Tang, Wei Dingguo, Shan Yanqi and other generals to break the southern Hebei thief army, and Xiao Li Guanghuarong shot Zhang Xiang and Lu Yuan, firmly controlling Weicheng in his hands, thus cutting off the path of Zhang Di's group of Kou Dong out of Haozhou.

Chen Zhu and Wu Bingyi both led their troops to guard the main roads, and the generals of the forbidden army such as Zhang Kai, Wen Da, and Xue Yuanhui cleared up the rogues step by step, and finally compressed the scope controlled by Zhang Diji's southern army to only the area of Zhaozhou and Cizhou.

When the time was ripe, the troops entered the state.

As soon as he entered the boundary of Zhaozhou, Wen Da, the commander of the soldiers and horses of the Daimyo Mansion, led four battalions of men and horses to the north to guard Beishui Town, while Xue Yuanhui, the commander of Gaotang Prefecture, led his headquarters to the south to guard Ping'en County, and Xiao Tang, Wei Dingguo, and Shan Yanqi went to camp ten miles outside Quzhou County, which was guarded by Zhang Li and Zhao Neng, two thieves of the Southern Hebei Army.

"Not far from Quzhou County, there are three rivers of Zhizhang River, Fushui (Fuyang River) and Laosha River, the surrounding terrain is undulating, and it is often affected by the flooding of the river, if it is attacked ......with water, "the holy water will be Shan Yanqi wants to speak and stop, he is good at the method of water immersion and water attack, every time he goes to the battlefield, it is necessary to understand the surrounding terrain and the direction of the river.

But this time, he only said half a sentence, and went to see Xiao Tang's reaction. Xiao Tang groaned for a while, and said: "The thieves have occupied Quzhou County for a short time, and most of the people in the county must be just ordinary people. ”

Shan Yanqi understood the meaning of Xiao Tang's words, he nodded and sighed: "That's right, so this method of breaking the water to irrigate the city is useless. ”

Sun Tzu's Art of War has a cloud: the attacker is bright with fire, and the attacker is strong with water. Water can be extinguished, not taken away. It is possible to divide and isolate the enemy army by flooding, but once this tactic is used, it will be more difficult to control the situation than by fire.

Not only is Shan Yanqi, who is proficient in water attack, Xiao Tang also knows the record about water attack in the "General Essentials of the Martial Arts": "The water attacker is the way to destroy the enemy, sink the enemy's city, drift the enemy's house, and accumulate bad enemies. ”

At that time, whether it is damming the city or breaking the embankment to rush the enemy, it will not only be the thieves in Quzhou City, but also countless innocent and good people who will suffer this natural and man-made disaster. Li Jun, the dragon of the mixed river in the water margin, offered water to irrigate Taiyuan City, although Zhang Xiong, Xiang Zhong, and Xu Yue in the city were the best murderers under Tian Hu, and the soldiers under him were all cruel and violent, and the people in the city had gone to the premise of seven or eight stops in ten stops, but what was the situation after the water attack?

After the war, it was written: "The chickens and dogs in the city are not heard, and the corpses are piled up." Although Zhang Xiong and others are full of evil, Li Jun's strategy is also tragic. The more than 1,000 people knelt on the muddy ground in all directions, and the candles seemed to kowtow and beg for their lives. There are only a dozen soldiers in this group, and the rest are ordinary people, "Since ancient times, wars have been extremely cruel, and the so-called compassion in the decisive battle seems to have become the most useless emotion, and Li Jun, the dragon of the mixed river, is a decisive hero, and he made such a decision after weighing the casualties that will occur when his brothers attack the military town." But he can make this strategy in the Water Margin, but now Xiao Tang, Wei Dingguo, and Shan Yanqi can't do it.

First of all, most of the people in Quzhou County are innocent people, and this time Zhang Di sent troops to recruit Zhang Di to protect the villagers of Baohe 1 Northern Prefecture, how could he use such a desperate poisonous plan? Taking 10,000 steps back, even if Xiao Tang is a ruthless hero, it is not a war between the two countries, and the thieves are not clean and the people of the county are not cleaned, and the official law will never tolerate his atrocities.

Wei Dingguo was very anxious, and he made the method of fire attack with firearms with the help of geographical advantages and winds, etc., which could be more miraculous when defending the city, but the role he played in the siege was extremely limited. saw him slam his fist on the table, and said impatiently: "Wang Jie ordered me to go to Quzhou County first, which is not a deliberate intention. How many of our brothers are suffering here, do you have the face to go to see the king and Zhang again? As far as I can see, let's attack! It's just a county seat, and it's not a military state with a high and deep moat, and there are only 3,000 thieves guarding it, so I'm afraid of him!? ”

Wei Dingguo's idea Xiao Tang did not not consider it, and the strategic intention set by the coach Wang Huan was to advance westward from Weicheng as soon as possible, and join forces led by Chen Zhu and Wu Bingyi, who went north from Feixiang Township, to Yongnian City. Now that all the departments of the army are patrolling and arresting bandits from all over the city, how can they stop here?

The number of thieves stationed in Quzhou County is still more than that of the officers and troops commanded by Xiao Tang, Wei Dingguo, and Shan Yanqi, and relying on the advantages of city defense, if they want to attack the casualties, they will definitely not be small.

Although the battle of Weicheng went very smoothly, it was also because Hua Rong shot the thief leaders one after another, and Wang Huan personally led the army to cover up the killing. After that, in several skirmishes between various units of the army and the southern Hebei army, the casualty ratio was not optimistic.

Zhang Di's southern Hebei army has uneven thieves, and the combat strength of all departments is also high and low, so what about the officers and soldiers who came to conquer and suppress it? The battalions have been training non-stop, and the troops that can be called majestic are only the soldiers and horses led by the three commanders of Suo Chao, Wei Dingguo, and Shan Yanqi, as well as one or two battalions of officers and soldiers who are close to the commanders and commanders such as Wen Da and Xue Yuanhui. Even the two battalions of infantry under the command of Xiao Tang, who were newly assigned to the soldiers and horses, are rare to be able to count the number of people without eating empty salaries, compared to the battalion of horse troops who have Suo Chao's strength to make a name for themselves on the battlefield and practice and supervise all day long, the combat strength is not much different.

When Xiao Tang was hesitating, Suo Chao under his command also had the same idea as Wei Dingguo, and the two talked about one thing, but Shan Yanqi felt that it was so inappropriate; And Hua Rong's pair of sword eyebrows frowned, thinking of a good plan; Although Xue Yong, the head of the Xiangyong Gun and Stick Sect who came with the army, knew about the military, he was not a scheming general, and he was silent......

And one more person.

"Brother Xiao Tang, the younger brother has a plan." When everyone heard the sound, they looked around, but it was Xiao Tang, who had thick eyebrows and short stature, and was moving with the fleas on the drum.

Xiao Tang took the time with him on this expedition, of course, he knew that the fleas on this drum could fly the eaves and walk the walls and sneak into the city. And Shi Qian is not a general who is good at destroying cities and pulling out villages, and the two armies are rushing to kill, he was born as a thief, and he is cautious in the official army, and he has nothing to talk about Suo Chao and Wei Dingguo all the way to talk about military affairs, Xiao Tang only cares about discussing with Wei Dingguo and Shan Yanqi, and for a while he didn't think of this special warfare master who spies on intelligence and destroys behind enemy lines.

Seeing that Shi Qian took the initiative to ask, Xiao Tang suddenly said happily: "I'm confused!" How did you forget the time-moving brothers? Since the brother recommended himself, he must also be confident, and he can ambush into the city and cooperate with the outside world to take this Quzhou County! ”

Shi Qian originally thought that Xiao Tang would kill on the battlefield this time, and he actually brought him, a snitch who was good at passing through walls in the silence of the night and hanging deeper around the house, must be for this purpose. What's more, at this time, he has been with Xiao Tang for a while, but his own ability has not come in handy, and now seeing Xiao Tang and others embarrassed, it is a good time for him to show his skills, so how can he not take the initiative to ask for his life?

Seeing that Xiao Tang was overjoyed and extremely confident in himself, Shi Qian couldn't help but push his skinny chest forward, and said loudly: "The little brother is used to flying the eaves and walking on the wall, but it is a county seat, how can the city wall be high and wide?" Although it is not like walking on the ground, the little brother sneaking into the city is only a common thing like climbing the ladder! ”

Shan Yanqi saw Nahan, he thought that this man with a somewhat obscene appearance was just Xiao Tang's entourage of himself, who knew that he dared to take the initiative to ask Ying, and it seemed that he wanted to sneak into Quzhou County alone. He asked, "Prison Xiao, I don't know who this is......?" ”

Xiao Tang said with a smile: "This is my brother's time migration, the people in the rivers and lakes are called the fleas on the drum, and he is a strange man who is good at flying eaves and walls, and is as agile as flying." ”

Shi Qian laughed and said, "What strange people? Brother Xiao Tang raised his little brother with arrogance! I was just a thief who was stealing back then, and Brother Meng Xiaotang treated me with kindness, and I was a thief who was despised by the heroes of the rivers and lakes as a brother, how do you say that? Treat me as a countryman, and I will repay the countryman! ”

"What!?" Wei Dingguo's heart is like fire, and he is a straightforward person, he immediately shouted: "What is strange? Even a thief dares to show off his might in front of us and other forbidden generals!? Xiao Detention Prison, it's not like this to joke! ”

Xiao Tang said firmly: "My brother has long stopped being a thief, but his ability has not been put aside!" If he says that he can sneak into Quzhou County and make miraculous achievements, he will use my head as a guarantee, and I am willing to protect him! ”

"No!" Wei Dingguo said angrily: "I'm waiting for the dignified Song Dynasty officials and generals, and we need a thief to help you when attacking the city, if this spreads, wouldn't you laugh off the big teeth of your colleagues in Paoze!?" ”

"Commander Wei." Xiao Tang said word by word: "I have already said that Brother Shi Qian has long ceased to be a thief, he is a member of my Xiao Mansion, and I, Xiao Tang, only regard him as my confidant brother." ”

It's one thing to get married to yourself in the palace, it's another thing to treat yourself as a brother in front of your colleagues in the official and military and to defend him like this. Shi Qian's heart was surging, and he only felt that his blood was boiling, Brother Xiao Tang regarded me as a good friend, and I Shi Qian sold my life to you, and it was worth it!

In fact, Xiao Tang's move to protect the time is not understood by Wei Dingguo, Shan Yanqi, or Suo Chao...... Even Xiao Tang's henchmen such as Hua Rong and Xue Yong didn't understand it very well. After all, no matter the green forests of the government, the people in the rivers and lakes of the market have a deep prejudice against thieves, although these days and this time get along, and they also know that he is a delicate and clever person, but first, he is a thief, and secondly, he has not seen how great his ability is on weekdays, why should he be so important and favored by this person?

Xiao Tang knew how Shi Qian was comparable to an ordinary thief like a rat crossing the street? Even if many people know that Shi Qian is a spy capable person who does espionage intelligence and sabotage behind enemy lines, and they also know that he is a good man in Liangshan who is shrewd and has played a key role in several battles in the Water Margin, how many people know that this flea is loyal to the liver and courage, and sees death as home? If you ask him to find a sense of belonging and let him treat you as a brother, this obscene-looking time will be righteous and light, not inferior to any bloody hero?

For example, in the battle of Yuling Pass in Song Jiang's expedition against Fangla, the general of Fangla's army, Xiao Yang, was compared with Hua Rong by Ji Pang Wanchun's arrows, and Lei Jiong and Ji Ji were good at using crossbows, and under the ambush of the first dangerous pass arrow array, there were six Liangshan heroes such as Shi Jin who were buried under Yuling Pass in an instant.

Later, Shi Qian found out the path, and after sneaking to Yuling Pass alone, at the urgent moment when Pang Wanchun, Lei Jiong, and Ji Ji prepared their bows and crossbows, and had aimed at Lin Chong, Hu Yanzhuo and other generals who were in the burial place of the Liangshan brothers before, he lit a fire and shouted loudly: "Ten thousand Song soldiers have passed the pass first, and you will surrender as soon as possible to avoid your death!" ”

At that time, he was the only one behind Yuling Pass, in the midst of thousands of thieves, and if Pang Wanchun, who shot six Liangshan heroes, was not so frightened that he could not possess his body, it would be easy to ruthlessly dismember his body with a knife. How dangerous this battle is, but the time is still natural, how can Xiao Tang not trust him?

My Xiao Tang's brothers, there are few bloody heroes such as Lu Tizhi and Second Brother Wu, who are full of jealousy and hatred, and there are also few people like Yan Xiaoyi and Xu Guanzhong......

It's also indispensable for you, and the time has changed.
