The return of the coalition army led by Li Zhu and Wu Yong to Lingzhou was already after the early morning of the next day. It is said that they have been busy for a day and a night, and in the case of Su zhì of these two teams, even if they are not bitter, they should be listless, but at this time, from the faces of this group of coalition troops, they did not see the slightest tired look, but they were all red and energetic, holding dry food, vegetables and fruits sent by nearby villagers in their hands, escorting the prisoners and carrying the capture, and rushing to Lingzhou City with high morale.

Liu Min led a large group of people to hold a grand welcome ceremony at the south gate to welcome his triumphant people. After all, this was the first big victory since the coalition army went to Lingzhou. Although there is a lot of water in it, after all, the main force of Zengtou City: no less than 10,000 young people, has been annihilated by Liangshanbo. However, according to the news sent back by Aide Li, the army had made a huge gain in Zengtou City.

Liu Min was tempted when he heard this, this Zeng family mansion has been entrenched in Zengtou City for a hundred years, almost as long as the history of the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, and there are 3,000 horse households in the village, a total of more than 20,000 people, the wealth that these people have gathered from generation to generation, what a large amount of money!

And according to his speculation about Wang Lun's thoughts, this group of people has been doing evil for generations, oppressing the people, and they will definitely have to pay the price for their actions! That is to say, Li Zhu must have copied more than Zeng Lao'er's family.

That's right!

In the end, Liang Shanbo did not practice the "benevolence" of Song Xianggong, and tolerated these birdmen. Putting aside Wang Qing's personal enmity and the temptation of such a large sum of money, only from the standpoint of a simple Song person, Liu Min also felt that this group of vicious dogs who bullied the lord should not stay! Otherwise, the remaining 10,000 people will resurrect in a few years, and it will not be the people of Lingzhou who will suffer at that time? Didn't Wang Lun keep saying that he was the master of heaven and the people, if he was merciful to the enemy at this time, it was not a crime against the people of the Great Song Dynasty?

However, there is still a knot in Liu Min's heart that he can't unravel, that is, Wang Lun obviously arrested Shi Wengong, but he didn't allow anyone to get close. The guards were very tight.

It seems that the alliance leader's revenge with one arrow will not be avenged.

As soon as he thought of this, Liu Min's good mood gradually dissipated, it was too embarrassing to be with Liang Shanbo, he couldn't do anything, he didn't say anything, he had to rely on people's breath, which made this comfortable bandit extremely uncomfortable.

"The jade seal is soaked in the soup, and Zengtou City is also abolished, so it is better to get some gold and silver. It's better to go back to the mountain early! Liu Min thought secretly.

It's just waiting left and right, the people who should be waiting don't come, but the people who shouldn't come come, the little minions who went out to inquire about the intelligence came back to report the news, there is a team of military horses of unknown origin is driving to Lingzhou, looking dressed like an official army, about one or two thousand horse troops with five or six thousand foot troops, so anxious that Liu Min hurriedly ordered the city gate to be closed, shouting: "Go and invite the white-clothed showman!" ”

Although Wang Lun is not a Buddha. But he also has a reputation for saving the suffering, and after getting the news, he took a few leaders to the south gate in person, and Liu Min saw just a few people. couldn't help but be shocked, and said with a bitter face: "Brother Wang Lun, if this group of officers and soldiers attack the city, the younger brother can't hold it!" ”

Wang Lun, who saw Chengzhu in his chest, responded: "Don't be afraid! It was my Liangshan military horse that came. The three battalions of infantry led by Luan Tingyu, Bian Xiang and Yuan Lang, Liu Zhibo should not panic! ”

Liu Min opened his mouth wide and was speechless for a long time. He has had a lot of contact with the Liangshan army in the past few days. Naturally, some attention is paid to the establishment of the Liangshan Army, and the three battalions of infantry actually have one or two thousand horses, do you want other cottages to live? As the saying goes, people have to die more than people, and goods have to be lost, and there are more than a dozen stockades under their own house to make up more than 1,000 cavalry, but they called the three battalions of Liangshanbo to compare with each other, and this face is lost to home.

Thinking of this, Liu Min was a little angry and helpless, yesterday in the field battle captured more than 3,000 good horses from Zengtou City, but Liang Shanbo refused to share half of them with others. In the middle of the night, Han Shizhong brought back more than 800 horses, and he didn't have anything to do with himself.

At this critical moment, the military advisor who could talk to Wang Lun was not there, and Liu Min didn't even have anyone to discuss, so he had to stare dryly and watch these treasures that couldn't be bought with money enter Liang Shanbo's pocket, which was really anxious, but there was no way to confide.

Wang Lun didn't seem to notice Liu Min's gaffe, just chatting and laughing with the leaders around him, Han Shizhong, who hadn't slept all night, was talking to Guanghui non-stop, Wang Lun interjected two sentences from time to time, and a burst of laughter made Liu Min's heart even more difficult.

"It's coming, it's coming!" Ma Jin pointed to a troop in the distance and shouted.

"The first one in front is Teacher Luan's team, and the 'mountain' character flag is his apprentice Shan Shiqi, who is also a rare fierce general!" Wang Lun smiled and introduced to the leader beside him.

"Brother, in our Liangshan, how many camps like this are there?" Sun An said curiously.

Wang Lun said a number, and called Guanghui and Sun An to look at each other in surprise: "There are almost twenty or thirty battalions under the jurisdiction of the four armies of horses, infantry, water, and garrison!" ”

Liu Min was already numb in his heart, and just drove down his own leaders on the city tower, for fear that they would be shaken by the army's heart, but Ma Jin didn't bother to pay attention to him, just lay on the city tower and sighed: "I have long heard my brother say that the Liangshan Bo army is mighty, and at the same time it is at war with Gaotang Prefecture and Lingzhou, plus a Zengtou City, there is no pressure!" ”

"Brother Ma Xian should come with our army this time!" Wang Lun pondered for a moment and said. If it weren't for An Daoquan's action, Wang Qing was only afraid that he was about to do the first seven at this time, and he would definitely come over with the army with his horse.

When Ma Jin heard this, he pulled his legs and ran downstairs in the city, leaving a sentence and said: "That little brother will go down to greet his brother, and Brother Wang Lun will talk slowly!" ”

"It seems that Wang Qing still has some ability, and he can recruit such a good man, I think that Mulan Sanjie is quite good!" Sun An glanced back and said.

Guanghui interjected at this time: "I think Shi Wengong is very good, but it's a pity that he is a little confused, but he recognizes the thief as his father, and he has polluted his body for no reason, it's a pity!" ”

Sun An looked at the problem but had some opinions of his own, and said: "Although Zengtou City is hateful, after all, it is still recognized by my Great Song Dynasty, and it is not to mention that it is to surrender to the enemy." If you want to blame, you have to blame my court for not knowing talents, so that such capable people are left in the mountains! What the local people said is not also corroborated, this person did not oppress the good, and I don't think he can be beaten to death with a stick! ”

Wang Lun smiled and said: "What the two of them have seen is not bad, Shi Wengong and Su Ding recognized the thief as their father, but they are not determined to be strong, and they are too eager for quick success." The Zeng family did evil, how could they, as the head of the sect, know nothing, even if they didn't harm the people with their own hands, it can't be said that the two of them are flawless. ”

"Then what is my brother going to do with these two?" Han Shizhong asked.

"Let's talk about it!" Wang Lun said a word, and then didn't continue the topic, but said: "Brother Sun is very skilled, what do you think after going up the mountain?" ”

"In front of my brother, where does my little brother dare to say anything? You have run Liangshanbo so prosperously, you only ask me to be a pawn in front of the account, and I am also at ease! Sun An said with a smile.

"Let you be a pawn in front of the account, isn't Liang Shanbo stupid and even the imperial court?" Wang Lun smiled, pointed to the Luan Tingyu camp that drove under the city, and said, "I intend to ask Brother Sun to take charge of a battalion of infantry alone, what does Brother Sun think?" ”

Sun An smiled heartily, and did not fake it at the moment, and arched his hand: "I don't dare to ask for it!" ”

Wang Lun also smiled and said: "According to the rules of my Liangshan, the establishment is still two thousand soldiers, five hundred auxiliary soldiers, and five hundred war horses!" Soldiers, just take a thousand people from the Lingzhou army, Brother Sun chooses by himself, I will ask Shan Tingqi to assist you, and the remaining half will be returned to the cottage to make up for it, and the war horses are also captured in the capture! It is estimated that our army will stay in Lingzhou for two or three days, and Brother Sun will be busy! ”

"I've been idle for almost 30 years, so it's better to be busy! So fulfilling! Sun Anqian was full of ambition on the ancient city wall, looking at the dust raised by the army on the official road outside the city, and his thoughts were racing.

Han Shizhong saw that Wang Lun had arranged Sun An's errand, but he stopped talking, and couldn't help but say, "Brother, how did my master arrange it!" ”

Wang Lunwan smiled, in the end, the apprentice couldn't let go of the master in his heart, and glanced back at Guanghui, who was quite calm, and said: "Master Guanghui has another important task, but I haven't thought about it for a while, and I will go back to the cottage to discuss with the three military advisors and Pei Xuan and Sun Ding, the military judge advocate general, and then make a conclusion!" ”

"What are you discussing with the two leaders of the Judge Advocate General's Division?" Han Shizhong wondered in his heart, if it was excusable to discuss with the three military advisors, how could he get involved with the iron-faced face and the Sun Fu'er? Is it possible to arrange Master to be assigned to the Judge Advocate General's Department? However, Han Shizhong thought about it, the master was jealous and hateful all his life, and he acted chivalrous and righteous, if he wanted to go to the Department of Military Justice, it was really a suitable place to go. It's just a pity that the master has a good ability, if he can't go into battle to make contributions, it's really a pity.

Guanghui, as the party concerned, is not worried about Wang Lun's arrangement for himself at this time, after all, he can arrange a huge cottage in an orderly manner, how can he be clumsy in arranging for himself? Didn't even Sun An, who took him up the mountain, have an errand suitable for him? Why bother with it at this time.

"Let's go down! Welcome Luan teachers and them! Wang Lun greeted and interrupted the leaders who were immersed in their thoughts, Sun An came back to his senses and asked a technical question: "Liangshanbo is hundreds of miles away from here, why did our army come so quickly?" In addition, there is no threat to Lingzhou, and my brother ordered them to come over, but do they have other plans? ”

"Brother Sun is afraid that he has never set foot in Jingdong Hebei in the past, I don't know that Liangshan is here, most of them rely on water, and half by land, and the army passes through the Beiqing River, all of which go ashore in Qingzhou, and it is a hundred and ten miles away! I called them over, mainly to escort the people to Yangsan along the way! As you know, the territory opened up by our Liangshan overseas needs to be filled by the people! Wang Lun patiently explained.

Sun An suddenly realized, and at the same time felt a little excited in his heart, being able to participate in the ranks of opening up the territory was by no means an opportunity that any person in the rivers and lakes could have. When I think of the prospect of the future development of cottages, I can't help but feel pride.

Wang Lun nodded at Sun An, and said to Guanghui, who had always been very calm: "Master, there has been nothing to do these days, I asked Han Shizhong to accompany you and make a lot of patrols in this city, but there are traitors, whether he is a member of the coalition army or a person from my cottage, including the scoundrels in this city, they cannot be tolerated!"
