Chapter 455 The Fall of Yizhou
In the hall, Zhao Zhen met Guan Sheng, and his appearance was indeed extraordinary.
He has a body of eight feet and five six feet, three willow moustache, two eyebrows on the temples, phoenix eyes facing the sky, a face as heavy as a jujube, and lips as if painted with vermilion.
Guan Sheng fell to the ground in obeisance and said: "Young general, I have heard of your reputation for a long time in my hometown. Today I have the honor to meet your face and pray for your honor. I am not talented, but I am willing to lead the troops to defeat the Qingzhou bandits for you. Keep us safe”

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Zhen stepped down to help Guan Sheng up.
"General Guan, please call me. I have heard of the general's name many times, but unfortunately I have no chance to see him. Today, the general is coming to surrender, so why worry about not being able to wipe out the Qingzhou bandits. Today we will hold a banquet to welcome the general and wash away his dust."
"You can't be called a general. I'm just an inspector. How can I boast? In the past few days, Sui Xuanzan and Hao Siwen, two brothers, have also seen all the commanders. Their martial arts skills are not inferior to those of the young generals. My husband, Liangshan Prefecture is indeed prosperous. ." Guan Sheng said.
Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "There are talents in the wild, and I can use them. All the brothers have the desire to serve the country and defend the people, but unfortunately they have no way. It is a blessing to be together now." The people of Liangshan Prefecture can live and work in peace and contentment, thanks to the efforts of all brothers."
At night, there was inevitably a lot of bragging to celebrate Guan Sheng's arrival.
During the dinner, Tang Bin couldn't help but sigh: "After all these years, my brother is still a small patrol inspector. If I had known this, I would have recommended my brother to come here."
Zhao Zhen asked: " Do you know Brother Guan Sheng too?”
Tang Bin said: "I am also a Pudong officer. How come I don't know Guan Sheng?" We work together to promote great righteousness and ensure peace."
Everyone laughed after hearing this.
That night, everyone came back drunk.
On the second day, Zhao Zhen held another banquet in honor of Guan Sheng.
During the banquet, Zhao Zhen said: "There are still a number of war horses in the state that can be used. Brother, I will be the commander of the first battalion. I will transfer the [Golden Spear Battalion] to declare brother as the deputy general. How about your battalion be called [Dingyuan Battalion]?"< br>
After hearing this, Guan Sheng quickly thanked him.
Zhao Zhen immediately wrote a military order, and asked military advisor Zhu Wu to deploy war horses and armor, and Guan Sheng and his two men went to the barracks to select troops. The station is also in Nandaying.
It will be three days later when the deployment is clear and the troops and horses are complete. It was the New Year Festival, and on this day, Zhao Zhen was thinking about taking Cheng Wan'er and other wives and concubines back to the main world. The unexpected messenger interrupted Zhao Zhen's plan.
The messengers were sent by Wu Yong who was stationed in Xintai City and the brothers of the Gou family in Yuanbi Village. There were two letters in total.
After reading it, Zhao Zhen asked the messenger to go down and rest. Zhao Zhen looked at the two letters in his hand, asked Zhao Ji to find Zhu Wu and Xiao Rang, and asked Zhao Xing to invite Liu Huiniang.
After a while, all three people came to the hall. Zhao Zhen said: "Everyone, military advisor Wu Xuexiu received a secret message from Gouhuan of Yuanbi Village. Qingzhou thieves attacked the city of Yizhou yesterday and killed Gaofeng, the prefect of Yizhou. The military advisor led 2,500 people from Jianrui's left camp and 2,500 from the mountain camp, led by Lu Zhishen. , Wu Song, Xie Zhen, and Xie Bao, as generals, crossed the mountains, gathered with the people from Yuanbi Village and Zhuhu Mountain, and intercepted the Qingzhou thieves who were robbing the people. The letter asked us to come and respond. ”
Xiao Rang Said: "It was agreed at the beginning that the territory of Yizhou would be given to us. It seems that Song Jiang did not keep his word."
"Yizhou's wealth and people must not be allowed to be taken away. What use does an empty city have to us? My Lord, there are nearly ten thousand people there, and Lu Tongzhi and others have the courage to stop ten thousand people. There is no need to rush. There are only two battalions of cavalry in Xintai, and there is a battalion of sergeants under Zhao Xin, so we need to be more prepared. .”
After hearing this, Zhao Zhen nodded and said: "Shouzhang County is now in the hinterland. Please ask Li Ying, [Pu Tian Diao], to lead his deputy general Shi En to Xintai to command the generals. Shouzhang County left Hongyan to recruit 500 people to garrison .”
Zhu Wu He said: "In this case, Xintai City is not in danger. Who can go to Yizhou Prefecture for a visit?"
Zhao Zhen said: "I will lead the pro-military camp through Xianyuan and Sishui, and take the left and right guard military camps with 1,500 cavalry. , the nine-member general, from Pingyi, along the banks of the Jun River, went directly behind Yizhou Prefecture to attack the Qingzhou bandits. The military advisor then recruited civilians to transport grain and grass from Pingyi to capture Fei County."
< br>"Dai Zong, Li San and Li passed military orders back and forth, and then asked Senior Brother Gongsun to go to the army in case of emergency."
Everyone discussed it again, Zhao Zhen signed the transfer order, and then went to the small room on the left side of Baishi Manor. The military camp orders troops to leave the camp.
By the time the generals from the South Camp heard the news and came to ask for battle, Zhao Zhen was already far away.
Chen Liqing said to Hu Sanniang: "Sanniang, why don't you take me with you? If you don't go forward to fight, why should we train our troops so hard?"
What if I don't tell Hu Sanniang? To comfort Chen Liqing, she only said that Zhao Zhen joined Bian Xiang, Yang Zhi and others, and headed for Yizhou Mansion in the wind and snow. When passing by Feixian County, the Feixian County Magistrate checked Zhao Zhen's identity token. He was sent by the "Vanguard of the Eastern Capital" and it was the key to the fall of Yizhou Prefecture. Feixian County Magistrate Le Yao did not dare to stop him. Not only did he reward the soldiers, he also took the initiative to raise food and grass and recruit young men. He only asked Zhao Zhen to leave a battalion of troops and horses to help protect the county.
Zhao Zhen scolded: "Now we don't know whether Gao Zhifu is alive or dead, and we will try our best to rescue him. If the Taiwei knows, how can we not suffer death?"
Seeing Le Yao's expression. Looking worried, Zhao Zhen continued: "There is no need to worry, Magistrate Le County. There are still soldiers and horses coming from behind. When the time comes, a battalion of soldiers and horses will naturally be left to help you protect the city. Besides, when we go to Yizhou Mansion to fight, we will naturally not let the Qingzhou thieves come. ”
After hearing Zhao Zhen's words, Le Yao felt relieved.
After resting for the night, Gongsun Sheng, Zhao Zhen and others continued to rush to Yizhou Fucheng.
Lu Fang and Guo Sheng returned from exploring the road and reported that it turned out that there was no garrison at the top of the city of Yizhou. Qingzhou pirates captured the city without garrisoning troops. They only evacuated the city and the people were driven to transport money, grain, cloth and silk. All the young and strong people in the city were recruited.
After hearing what the two said, Zhao Zhen did not hesitate and immediately led his troops into the city.
Looking at the dodging people, Zhao Zhen made a plan to calm the people, and asked the sergeants to shout along the street, saying that the magistrate of Liangshan Prefecture had led troops to rescue him. Now he has intercepted the Qingzhou thieves on the road, and will rescue the people in the city soon. .
After initially calming the people's hearts, Zhao Zhen left behind a hundred horse troops and led Ding Zhuang recruited from Feixian County to defend the city. Zhao Zhen and others left the city from the north gate and rushed to the place where the Qingzhou bandits and Wu Yong and others faced off.
When Zhao Zhen arrived, he saw only two camps roughly set up in the wilderness beside the official road. Judging from the situation, Wu Yong only guarded the camp and was not in a hurry to fight.
