Chapter 456 Peace Talk
More than a thousand horse-riding troops were galloping towards them, and both camps could naturally see them.
At this time, the only ones who can dispatch such a large-scale cavalry army are Hu Yanzhuo and Zhao Zhen. A red flag with the word "Zhao" in the army naturally indicates that it is Zhao Zhen of Liangshan.
A burst of cheers erupted from Wu Yong's camp, and the Qingzhou bandit camp, which was flanked from the north and the south, was also noisy.
Zhao Zhen reined in his horse and stopped two arrows away from the Qingzhou bandit camp.
After a while, I saw someone running out of Wu Yong's camp and bypassing the Qingzhou bandit camp.
It was none other than Zhu Hushan [Scud] Liu Tong. After seeing the ceremony, Zhao Zhen asked: "What's going on?"
Liu Tongtong: "Reporting to your Majesty, three days ago, Song Jiang appointed [Iron Fan] Song Qing as the commander-in-chief, [Gui Jianchou] Lai Yong'er as the military advisor, and commanded [Sheng Dongbin] Wu Jiao's five masters and apprentices, and [Optimus Prime] Ren Yuan, [Iron Arhat] Fa Tong, [Bashan Xiong] Zhao Fu, and ten other leaders, started the fog from Yishui River, marched secretly, and landed in the capital city of Yizhou at night. "
"Li Feibao, the training envoy of the Xi'an camp in the city, was killed. After Gao Feng was captured, he was beheaded at Caishikou. The Dongcheng defense envoy Ruan Qixiang and Ruan Zhaoer, their father and son, sentenced [Sima Shi] Wan Qichun and his brother [Sima Zhao] Wan Qirong. After surrendering to the Song Dynasty, Sun Lin and Li Fengming disappeared. "
After hearing this, Zhao Zhen said: "Does the military advisor have a plan?"
Liu Tongtong: "The military advisor asserts that it is freezing cold today, and the Qingzhou thieves are holding thousands of Yizhou Prefecture men hostage. They cannot defeat us again and again, so they will not last long. The military advisor wants to besiege this guy and force him to negotiate peace." . Only in this way can Ding Zhuang and Caibo of Yizhou Prefecture be taken back.”
"It seems that the military advisor still wants to release this group of Qingzhou thieves. Okay, I already know the military advisor's intention. Later, I will return to Yizhou Mansion to garrison. I will come over in the next few days to see if the Qingzhou thieves have ever used Taoism. ?" Zhao Zhen said.
"It is true that Taoism was used on the first day. The military advisor was well prepared. Black dog blood, feces and urine and other filthy objects were thrown into the air, breaking the Taoism. There was no loss. On the contrary, the Qingzhou thieves who came with the fog, Let the [Golden Spear City] led by Brother Tao Zongwang ambush, using hooks, sickles, and hook hands, and captured hundreds of Qingzhou thieves."
Zhao Zhen heard this and said to Gongsun Sheng: "Senior brother, although the pedantic people can break the magic, they all rely on external objects. Please go to the camp to take charge of it, just in case. Dean Dai also goes to the camp to visit. Deliver the message.”
After Gongsun Sheng and Dai Zong heard this, they both agreed, and together with Liu Tong, they bypassed the Qingzhou bandit camp again and returned to their own camp.
Zhao Zhen and others waited for another half an hour. Seeing that it was getting late, they all mounted their horses and galloped for half a day back to Yizhou Fucheng.
Let’s talk about the Qingzhou bandits camp. As early as when they saw Zhao Zhen’s cavalry troops arriving for reinforcements, the camp started to panic. [Iron Arhat] Fatong led his troops to suppress, and then things stabilized, but their morale plummeted.
Song Qing hurriedly invited Yong'er and Wu Jiao. Before they could sit down, Song Qing asked: "Come here, Mr. Wu, military advisor, what are you doing now?"
Lai Yong'er said: "Leader, don't be anxious. We and Liangshan made an agreement at the beginning that the Yizhou Prefecture would be returned to Liangshan as a reward for conquering us. He also promised not to send troops to Qingzhou. Now we and others The city of Yizhou was not damaged when we captured it, and we did not agree on the ownership of this population and wealth at the beginning. We can’t get nothing when we send troops.”
"For this reason, he can't find fault. Looking at the camp opposite, they just intercepted us and waited, and seemed to have no intention of fighting. Tonight, I will go to the camp opposite to make peace with this [Zhi Duo Xing] and let me go. Waiting to leave.”
Wu Jiao heard this and said: "Now that the situation is over, I'm afraid he won't let us go easily."
Lai Yong'er smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. I never expected that the attack on Yizhou Prefecture would go so smoothly. My brother Gongming and I made a plan. This place is just a bait. It would not be a pity to give all the money and silk to Zhao Zhen." Our purpose is to mobilize the Xintai garrison. Now Brother Gongming must have led his troops to attack Xintai. What's more, now that we have killed Gao Feng, our reputation will be even greater. After hearing this, the green forest heroes of Shandong and Hebei will definitely flock to us. By then, our power will be strong, and we will naturally be able to do so. Grab it back.”
Wu Jiao frowned and said: "What are you doing to rob Xintai? How can Liangshan rest in this way?"
Lai Yong'er said: "At first we didn't care about Xintai, so we lost the barrier. Now that Laiwu is attacked from both sides, we can only surrender. I didn't come here to surrender a few days ago. The leader [Hunjiang Dragon] Li Jun is very good at water skills." . I made a plan with my brother Gongming to capture Xintai and use the power of the Wen River to stop the Liangshan army. In this way, we can concentrate on dealing with Hu Yanzhuo without being threatened by Liangshan. A few days ago, Liangshan asked a steward named [Grimace] Du Xing to come to Qingzhou to do business, so we didn't dare to embarrass him and use our personal rights. I bought a lot of dried dates and dried persimmons in exchange for salt.”
Song Qingdao: "I have never heard my brother talk about this. Since my brother and the military advisor have a plan, I can rest assured. It is serious to ask the military advisor to take a hard trip today and return to Qingzhou as soon as possible. Save him for receiving the news, Fight with me desperately.”
Lai Yong'er said: "Don't worry, leader Song. Liangshan is greedy for money. The most he can do is give up these belongings."
That night, Lai Yong'er took [Iron Arhat] Fa Tong with him, and the two quietly sneaked out of the camp and went to Wu Yong's camp to ask for a meeting.
Wu Yong, Gongsun Sheng, and Gou Heng met the two men in the camp.
Wu Yong said directly: "Commander Lai, we agreed at the beginning that we would attack Yizhou Mansion later in the year, but now we don't even say hello, it doesn't make sense." Lai Yong'er smiled and said: "Commander Wu's words are true. I I don’t remember what I said after the New Year, I just said I’ll wait for it Yizhou Prefecture, and cooperated with the Liangshan Army to reoccupy Yizhou Prefecture, to give an account to the imperial court to prevent the two sides from fighting. Now that we have taken Yizhou Prefecture, we have neither sent troops to garrison nor damaged the city, nor have we broken the contract. .”
Wu Yong said: "That's it, you have taken away all the money, silk and men in this city. What use will we have to this city full of women and children? If we hadn't been prepared in advance, brother Gou Heng of Yuanbi Village stopped us. You have taken all the essence of the government away, leaving this mess behind. Now that your husband is here with his troops, you must not let you take away this population and wealth.”
Lai Yong'er said: "That can't be done. In this cold weather, we can't get nothing if we send out troops. If my brothers don't get rewards, wouldn't they be rebelling against nature? How can I fight with such cowards?"
Fatong patted his forehead and said: "That's right, brothers are not vegetarians either."
Gou Heng scolded: "I'm afraid you won't be able to wait. If you don't accept it, you will see a real sign on the battlefield tomorrow."
Lai Yong'er said: "We are all working for our lives in the green forest, why should we be like this? One day, we will say that we cannot accept the recruitment. Just like you, we are also officials."
"In this way, we will not take away the population, but we will take away half of the goods. In this way, we will also have an explanation for our brothers. However, the two places of Yishui and Yiyuan have long been friendly to us. , now there are two more sergeants in the army, but we have to move them all.”
Wu Yong thought for a while and said: "Gao Feng's body, family members and belongings must also be returned. As for the generals who surrendered..."
"Since you have surrendered to us, we must not return it. Although we are from the green forest, we have the most loyalty and will never go back on our word." Lai Yong'er interrupted.
After hearing this, Wu Yong sneered: "Okay, this is not something that will embarrass you. It's just that I heard that Gao Feng has three hundred [Flying Divine Weapons] under his command. You and others have captured a lot of them, but you have to keep this one." ”
Why did Yong'er come to him? "It's not like these people have surrendered yet. It's not impossible to return them to you. However, they are all strong men selected from Shandong, Hebei, Jiangxi, Hunan, Lianghuai, and Liangzhe. They can." Now that Master Wu Jiao wants to leave, it’s all about brotherhood, so I can’t force him.”
Wu Yongdao: "How about I exchange the captured sergeants?"
After hearing this, Lai Yong'er hesitated for a moment and said: "If Brother Wu Jiao has not yet said that he will surrender, then those who have not yet surrendered will be returned, but those who have already said that they will surrender cannot be sent back."
"Okay, it's settled. I will also tell the high officials tomorrow. Just wait for the high officials to nod, and you can clear the fog and go around from one side. We will never stop you. Just wait for me tomorrow. The big camp here hangs a big blue flag, You can leave in the fog. Let Ding Zhuang escort Cai Bo for an hour. Once the fog rises, we will pretend to pursue and intercept Ding Zhuang and Cai Bo. If you go back on your word, don't blame us for chasing him."

"It's a deal." After making the decision, Lai Yong'er and Fatong said goodbye and left.
Early the next morning, Zhao Zhen listened to the news from Dai Zong in Yizhou Mansion. Said: "Dean Dai, I will be satisfied if I can get my son back. Please dean Dai tell the scholars to let the Qingzhou thieves leave today."
After hearing this, Dai Zong hurried back to deliver the order. Zhao Zhen also raised troops and rushed there.
After listening to the military order brought back by Dai Zong, Wu Yong immediately asked people to put up a blue flag at the gate of the village.
In the camp opposite, people packed their bags early in the morning and saw the big flag. Wu Jiao's five masters and disciples quickly went to the altar to perform the exercises. The fog rolled up and filled the air.
According to the plan, Song Qing and others took Ren Yuan and Fatong as the vanguard to open the way first. Later, Song Qing, Lai Yong'er, and Zhao Fu brought their belongings and surrendered the officers and soldiers, and followed them. Wu Jiao's five masters and apprentices stayed at the end with their troops and horses. When the method was completed, they left their men, money and silk behind to pursue the Chinese army.
Just after an hour, Gongsun Sheng was in the army doing magic with his sword, stepping on the gang to fight, raising five thunders, and shouted: "Sick!"
Only a thunderbolt was heard in the air, and soon the fog cleared.
Wu Yong climbed onto the flying tower and looked around. You can still see the Qingzhou thieves running in the distance. Looking towards the camp left behind by the Qingzhou thieves, a group of sergeants in the camp were guarding Ding Zhuang of Yizhou Prefecture.
Wu Yong ordered the drums to be beaten. Hearing the sound of the drums, Lu Zhishen and others led their troops forward and surrounded the Qingzhou bandit camp. Zhao Zhen also drove his horse forward.
Lin Chong was the first to rush out and shouted to the camp: "Unprovoked grass bandits, the heavenly soldiers are here, and they have not surrendered yet. They will wait until their flesh and blood turn to clay. How can I regret it!"
