Chapter 531: Buy and withdraw troops
After hearing this, Lai Yong'er asked quickly, "I don't know what's going on?"
Zhao Zhen sighed and clapped his hands. The two soldiers carried a ragged corpse and placed it in front of Lai Yonger. Zhao Zhen said, "Captain, this is Kong Ming's body. You should take it back to the city for burial."
Lai Yonger pointed at Kong Ming's body and asked, "How could this happen?"
Zhao Zhen sighed and told him that Kong Ming was killed.
Lai Yong'er listened and said, "Hey, Brother Kongming is not lucky."
Zhao Zhen said: "Chief, I will not hide it from you. Before reaching a deal with you, I ordered Dengzhou and Zibo in the north to send people to fight. Yesterday, I had sent someone to pass the orders, and I don't know if it was too late."
Lai Yong'er heard this and sighed, "Please send additional staff to avoid the two sides fighting and causing their lives."
Zhao Zhen said, "Don't worry, leader, if it goes well, news will come from Linzi today. I'll send someone to the city."
As he was speaking, he saw Bian Xiang, who was guarding the Dazhai Camp gate, bringing a man to ask for a meeting. When Zhao Zhen saw it, it was indeed Li Zongtang.
Upon seeing the ceremony, Zhao Zhen asked, "Brother, what's wrong with Linzi?"
Li Zongtang said, "My husband, we are fortunate to be humiliated and we won consecutive battles. In the first battle, General Guan Sheng divided his troops into two groups. My brother Li Kui attacked Shouguang. The two generals Guan Sheng and Xuanzan attacked Boxing for a long distance. After that, only 300 people were left to guard the city. We met Qiancheng. Halansheng, Sha Zhiren and Mian Yixin, who joined the army in Zhengyi Village, attacked Qiancheng. After the army, Halansheng put on armor and supervised the village warriors in Zhengyi Village and worked hard to climb the city. In one battle, he defeated Qiancheng, who had only 3,000 soldiers garrisoned."
"[Jin Scale Python] Ma Yuan and [Liejue Dalang] Helian Jinming went out of the city to escape. General Guan Sheng captured Ma Yuan alive, Sha Zhiren and Mian Yixin captured Helian Jinming alive. One day off and attacked Linzi the day before yesterday. [Hungry Big Insect] Yao Shun went out of the city to fight the general. Halansheng fought with him for thirty years and poked him off the horse. We took advantage of the situation to attack the city. [Sima Shi] Wan Qichun saw that the situation was not good, so he ordered the Qingzhou bandits to surrender."
"I received a letter from my husband yesterday, and General Guan Sheng asked the villain to come and report the news."
After hearing this, Zhao Zhen said to Lai Yonger, "Captain, look..."
"Grand official, the villain will go back to the city to raise gold and silver. I will go to Linzi with this general and let Ma Yuan and other brothers temporarily put in house arrest in Linzi. Please ask the Grand Official to still hold the banner of us and wait until the recruitment will change the banner. Brother Gongming will have a lot of money to thank him."
Zhao Zhen responded in one go.
After seeing Yong'er off, Zhao Zhen asked Li Zongtang to explain the battle along the way.
In the camp, everyone heard this and everyone was happy.
Now except for Yidu, all the thieves in Qingzhou are ruined. Now I know that Song Jiang is going to recruit peace, and this battle is about to end.
Zhao Zhen asked, "Who is Qiancheng stationed? What are Guan Sheng's plans?"
Li Zongtang said: "Qian Cheng is now Liu Sha Zhiren garrison. General Guan Sheng has dismantled the Qingzhou bandits in the city and is now planning to lead troops to suppress Qingzhou Water Village."
After hearing this, Zhao Zhen pondered for a moment and said to Shan Tinggui and Wei Dingguo: "Two generals, no one is stationed in Shouguang and Boxing. How about the two generals who are in the rank of a regiment training envoy? "
After hearing this, Shan Tinggui and Wei Dingguo stood up and said, "My husband, I am willing to go."
Zhao Zhen said to Li Zongtang again: "You will return to Linzi City later and pass on my orders to use Guan Sheng as the chief of the Qingzhou military commander, temporarily stationed in Linzi to control the military commander." In Yidu City, Song Gongming and others gathered in the government office. After hearing what Lai Yong'er said, they were all shocked.
Di Lei shouted, "Brother Gongming, brothers such as Ma Yuan cannot help but save them."
After hearing this, Song Jiang hurriedly said, "We gathered together for loyalty. How can some money be worth the lives of Ma Yuan and others? Please ask the soldiers to come again later."
After appeaseing everyone, Song Jiang said to Lai Yonger alone: "Military advisor, at this time, there will be no changes in the recruitment of peace."
Lai Yong'er said, "Brother Gongming, I have agreed with Zhao Daguanren that Linzi and other counties still hold the banner of us. Today, I will follow Zhao Daguanren to Linzi. First, I will appease Brother Ma Yuan and others. Second, I will also take the opportunity to go to Bianjing to confirm the recruitment. Now we only have one city in Yidu. We decided to stay in Qingzhou, but the strategy of checking and balancing Liangshan for the court was not possible."
"Is it true that as Zhao Zhen said, I can only go to conquer Wang Qing in Huaixi?" Song Jiang said unwillingly.
"People leave their hometown and are humble, but they have to do so. On Jingdong Road, Zhao Zhen cannot tolerate us." Lai Yong'er said.
Song Jiang sighed: "It's not advisable to go and return early."
As he said that, Lai Yonger and went to the treasury again and took out the 100,000 yuan of Jinzhuzhen that had been counted long ago and wanted to give to Grandma Cai to apologize.
Song Jiang said to Lai Yonger: "Military advisor, in Linzi, except for the brothers such as Ma Yuan, may he redeem the soldiers?"
Lai Yong'er said, "Zhao Zhen is greedy for money. If he has money, he is not afraid that he will not respond."
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
Song Jiang heard this and said, "Since we are inevitably going to fight against Wang Qing, in addition to the 200,000 guan of ministerial money left behind, it will be used to contribute to the Grandmaster Cai and Grandmaster Gao. Then he selected 60,000 guan of treasures from the Curry to give to Zhao Zhen. Without the city, these soldiers are the foundation for our lives. We are not afraid of not being able to save some money again."
Lai Yong'er listened and praised, "It's still my brother who can understand it."
At that moment, I picked up good gold and silver utensils and treasures from the treasure house, folded them, carried them out of the city gate and sent them to Zhao Zhen’s village.
Lai Yong'er reported his purpose. Zhao Zhen asked Liu Huiniang to take people to collect the goods and said to Li Zongtang beside him: "Take the leader to Linzi, and don't be negligent in captive Qingzhou generals. When the imperial court's recruitment documents arrive, these people will be sent back."
After hearing this, Li Zongtang quickly responded.
Zhao Zhen said to Lai Yonger again: "Chief, it's getting late today. Tomorrow morning, how about you go to Linzi?"
Lai Yonger shook her head and said, "My husband, it's not a villain to make things difficult. Now that I'm not sure about my peace, Brother Gongming is uneasy. I went to Linzi to see Brother Ma Yuan and others, so I went to Bianjing City to plan. Please help me with this general and go to Linzi tonight."
After hearing this, Zhao Zhen said to Li Zongtang: "Since that's the case, I'll work hard to get on my trip."
After sending off Li Zongtang and his group, Zhao Zhen rested for a night, he summoned the generals to announce: "Brothers, it is the season for wheat harvesting, and the thieves in Qingzhou, Yidu are no longer a big concern. I plan to disband the civilians and let them go home to harvest wheat. In this camp, only nine brothers, Hu Yanzhuo, Bian Xiang, Yang Zhi, Huo Wancheng, Wang Liang, Liu Qi, Zhou Jin, Han Tao and Peng Qi, were ordered to monitor Yidu, and all the remaining troops were retreated to Linqu to serve as a support."
Everyone listened and did their own things.
After hearing the news of his return home, the civil servants burst into loud cheers.
