Poetry:

The bright moon in the sea is Penglai fairy, in front of the incense burner in ordinary alleys; it is better to cut off the flowing water, there is still a kite in another year.

Uncle Zhang was embarrassed and angry, and fell to the ground with a bang. He didn't know where he was. He felt a little conscious. When he moved slowly, he shouted in his ears. When he opened his eyes, he was in the back tent, and several people stood in front of the collapse. It was Guan Sheng and others.

At that time, he opened his mouth, obscure and hoarse, and could not speak idioms. Zhang Shuye was angry again, and he opened his eyes and spoke, and squeezed out a few words like sifting sand: "Why not kill the thief, what are you doing here?"

The generals looked at each other and smiled bitterly. Zhang Shuye slowly understood that the generals at the moment had no look of fighting. They were leisurely. Although the armor was neat, they wiped brightly without fireworks. At that time, they were shocked and surprised and asked with a hissing: "Where is this? Why are the thief unstable? "

Guan Sheng sighed, "The prefect has been in a state of drowsiness this time. If it weren't for the doctor's care, how dare the young generals disturb him today?"

Zhang Shuye Daqi: "It's like this! Where is the thief now? Where is the court..."

Guan Shengdao: "Since the prefect fainted, Qingzhou City was a rebel again, and the suspicion of the military strategy was delayed for a night. The young general and the general were ordered to do not dare to move lightly. When the next day, there was no trace of the rebel. When the prefect of the clan arrived, the scouts were sent to search everywhere. The rebels suddenly went east and west. The day before yesterday, there was another side army, about three or five hundred people, heading north, and the thief chiefs were missing. Our army was always chasing everywhere. In the middle of the month, the morale of the army was dispersed, and the life sect was exhausted. He had to entrench this place and calmly control the movement." After slowing down, he said, "In the court, Murong Prefect will deal with it. Three days urged and five days dictated. If it were not Murong Prefect, the prefect had already been punished. The young generals were scolded by the eunuch of the army yesterday. He heard the rumors of the doctor, it was said that the prefect would be cured today. Let's gather to wait."

Zhang Shuye was silent for a moment and asked again for a moment: "In the view of the prefect of Zong, where is the rebels' goal?"

The generals looked embarrassed, and one of them was very dissatisfied: "The prefect Zong still insisted on his own opinion. It is the purpose of the thief, and he must be Liangshanpo. The day before yesterday, I sent someone to capture the rebel brother Ruan Xiaoqi, and the thief chief, Ruan Xiaoer, who was the same party as the thief, and he returned today, but found nothing. The prefect Zong asked the scout for details and came in a moment."

Zhang Shuye snorted: "It is said that the thief must go to Liangshanpo, but it is still three-point credible. With such a thief, he is the first to be righteous and refuses to do wise things. Thinking about Wang Lun, a gangster in Liangshanpo, who is narrow-minded and jealous of virtuous people, how can he make such vicious people lie beside the bed? Now there are still a month and a half. After all, the army of the prefect of the sect has many people and cannot hide their actions. How can the thief not know? If he goes to the water with fierceness, he will probably not be able to resist. Why should he hide it until now?!"

There was a sound of footsteps outside the tent. When the curtain rose, the dark and thin Zong Ze stepped in. When he saw each other, he ordered the generals to retreat and strictly ordered the people to guard the people everywhere. He also ordered the dispatching officer to secretly order the three armies to prepare for the marching.

There were only two of them in the tent. Zhang Shuye leaned against the couch and said unhappily: "The prefect of Zong is also a clear stream. How can he join forces with people like Murong Yanda? Although this person is quite talented, he has a dissatisfaction in both ends of snakes and rats, and is also a relative of the foreigners. Today, he will use his three points to prevent him from seven points. If the court knows, something big will be wrong."

Zong Ze shook his head and sighed, and asked back, "In Ji Zhong's opinion, who can lead the army to suppress the thieves in the court now? Gao Qiu, the Taiwei, or Su Yuanjing in front of the palace?"

Uncle Zhang was stunned: "What does the prefect Zong mean?"

Zong Ze said: "The two routes of Jingdong, the capital is the important part of the capital. Although there are more than a thousand rebels, they are brave and cunning. If they flee, it will be a disaster. In Qingzhou, nearly 100,000 soldiers have been defeated by the thieves many times. If Ji Zhong's affairs cannot be suppressed and passed on to the court, they will definitely be severely blamed. At that time, I was alone and did not know about political affairs, how could I lead this difficult-to-trained army? At this time, Zhang Jizhong could not do it! Since this, Murong lost the prefecture and used his selfishness to make use of it. Now the army is in control. Although the previous defeat, the advantage still exists. Wait until the detective knows the direction of the rebels and chases them to the head. He is also a physical body and tired.

We are tired of our army first, why don’t I follow it? Therefore, the day before yesterday, I have transferred cavalry from two groups. Now there are 3,000. If the thief chief comes forward, just bite and not let go to the infantry to follow. After pursuing for several days, the thief will be discouraged. At that time, the thief will be surrounded and killed. The emperor will be sick. Murong Yanda is determined to enter the cabinet and send him credit and transfer him to Qingzhou. This important place is to take good ministers to guard. When the incident is urgent, Zhang Jizhong will lead the navy from Jeju. I will lead the army from Dengzhou to Qingzhou. The contract with Qingzhou can be mutually supportive, close to defend himself, and far away can echo the capital. Isn’t it beautiful?”

Zhang Shuye was silent for a while and had no choice but to suffer this opinion. Zong Ze said again: "Although Taishi Cai is the party, he always has some talent on weekdays. It is just that the matter of Hua Shigang, Zhu Jie and others have caused small troubles. The officials forced the people to rebel. The turmoil in Jiangnan was not as good as the traitors here. Jiangnan was turbulent, the court was unstable, and the emperor was deceived by villains. He was determined to restore Yanyun and even formed an alliance with the Hulu. Isn't it a matter of being a tiger? Such a captain came from the Huns, and the wolf was clear in ambition and salivating the fertility of the Central Plains. It took only one day. Our army was not good at fighting, and he even used salt and iron to attack the Hulu. He would definitely grow up. At the end of the Khitan crossbow, he would definitely be destroyed. The land of Yanyun was not controlled by the court. Once the Jurchens went south, a group of villains and incompetent people in the court were at the right time to relieve worries. A useful person could be compared to the reputation of a mere pure? Ji Zhong was a good minister in the age of time, so he could think about it."

"I know this situation is unstoppable, so I just hope to eliminate the rebels as soon as possible and plan for the accident to be unexpected." Zhang Shuye lowered his eyes for a while and said without saying a word. When Zong Ze stood up and wanted to leave, he said slowly, "Well, they are all working for the country. Zong Prefect's good words are what the country's officials see, and it's just a matter of pure reputation. When this is important, don't. Let's ask the prefect, where are the rebels now? With the view of the prefect, where are they going?"

Zong Ze was slightly lost and said vaguely: "I can't know clearly that the thief chief Zhao Chu was originally a famous person in the world. He came out of the capital and made friends with the grassroots all the way to the waters of Yuncheng. He looked at it carefully. It was indeed a dangerous and important place. If he had the ability of this person, the thief army could not be conquered, so he was thinking about it. The day before yesterday, a secret spy came to report that he had two brothers under the command of the thief chief, and his brother Ruan Erlang, who had been waiting for the waters to go out for a long time. He ordered people to capture him. But when the time came, the thief would have to escape with his family and young. He looked at the rebels and tried to go north again and again, so he was unsolvable and did not understand what the intention was. He also thought, if the thief wanted to go north and there were many opportunities, why should he stay there until now? He was very confused!"

The two of them both had their own problems, but they didn't know.

Zhang Shuye was sick and couldn't sit for a long time. When Zong Ze was about to say goodbye, the sound of horse hooves came from outside the village. Several people rushed towards him and shouted from afar: "The thief chief has appeared and is heading east!"

Zong Ze felt relieved, and Zhang Shuye forced himself to yell, "So he ordered me to report!"

The scout entered the tent, and another secret spy rushed over. He raised the curtain and reported: "The Khitan spy is already in the territory. Cui, the female leader of the thief, met him in Qingzhou City yesterday, and this morning, he parted with him. The Khitan barbarians returned northward. The thief chief appeared from the north of the city and added hundreds of soldiers. They were all desperate people in the rivers and lakes, who bypassed me and went east."

Zhang Shuye was shocked, Zong Ze was disgusted and said to Zhang Shuye: "How can the thiefs have any advantages and disadvantages? Since the court has joined forces with the Jurchens to attack the Khitan together, it will inevitably be a bad thing. Now Yanyun is in a row, and the war between the north and south is getting ups and downs. The Khitan must think that the court has sent three troops to reinforce Yan Yun. I think it has been colluding with this thief, and has delayed the two troops from Jingdong. Now Yanyun is in an urgent situation, but he is afraid that the thief will use the internal and external strategies to cooperate."

Zhang Shuye agreed: "What he said is not bad, the thieves are lawless, and they have no other country in their eyes. They are the most indiscriminate right and wrong. If they join forces with foreign thieves, they will definitely do it. But, what are the thieves going east?"

After all, the plan was short, so Zong Ze ordered the rest of the country to gather next to Zhang Shuye's sick bed and discussed it.

There was a general inside, and the crowd came out and said, "The young general was also in the Western Army. I heard that there was a rumor that the thief chief Zhao had. The Western thief is now weak. Many times, he took the Khitan army and attacked the important towns in the northwest. When the thief was serving, he fought to death with a group of bandit troops. There was also a powerful Khitan thief general in that army. The two of them led more than a dozen small troops and fought for more than a few months. They admired each other, which was a good story. Who would have expected that the Western thief was in a civil strife and the new king was afraid of

Our Western Army entered, and we heard that we had borrowed Khitan soldiers and could not escape. At that time, Iron Yaozi was ordered to send out a thousand elite troops to kill the Khitans. At that time, the thief chief Zhao had drank with the Khitan Hu people in the middle of the night and had a very good relationship. It was the Hu people who were killed by the Western thief. This guy actually led 18 people from our headquarters to kill into the Western thief camp at night. One thousand Iron Yaozi taught him to kill them one by one in three or five days, claiming to take revenge. I think that at that time, the thief chief Zhao had colluded with the Hu barbarians."

The generals cursed one after another, but Guan Sheng was fascinated and blurted out: "This is a good man!"

Uncle Zhang glanced at him and called out to the generals. Suddenly, Zong Ze exclaimed in surprise and held his forehead with his hand and shouted loudly: "The thief wants to take me Dengzhou Prefecture, I am afraid that I will lie dormant for half a month, just for this day!"

Zhang Shuye smiled and said, "Why do you say this? Dengzhou Binhai. If the thief dares to take it away, I will be dozens of times more than in his army. I just need to be surrounded in the east. Could it be that the thief will fall into the sea to escape? Such an unwise move is not done by the thief chief, so he may have a backup plan and is also a suspicious plan."

Zong Ze said anxiously: "This is definitely not bad. What the scout said just now, is the prefect unconscious? The thief wanted to solve the trap of Yanyun in Khitan, and a few thousand people would be useless. Now, the situation is gradually settled, and it is useless to stay. But the prefect didn't know that our army in the north was transported from Dengzhou to ship, and most of the food and supplies were transported from Dengzhou to the sea, and the thief had been proficient in water. He grabbed boats from Dengzhou and went north, burning food and supplies, and our army was in chaos, and the dilemma in the south of Khitan was free from the difficulties. Therefore, these more than a thousand troops were far better than tens of thousands of troops."

Zhang Shuye was shocked. He knew that the navy was important. He heard the sound and was sweating in a cold sweat. He actually jumped up. Another scout came to the east and shouted: "The rebels gathered more than 1,600 people, all of them were flying horses, galloping to Dengzhou, and he was on duty at the posts along the road. He did not kill and disperse, and he would have a plan."

Zhang Zong had no other concerns, even the generals felt that he had taken the traces of the thief. Zong Ze ordered all three thousand cavalry soldiers to go out and chase after them. When he left, Fang Yu said, "Although there were thousands of old subordinates in Dengzhou, half of them were naval troops. Even if there were scouts, they could not stop the thiefs from flying cavalry. However, this group of people was also the elite of me. It was okay to resist for a moment. When the cavalry soldiers caught up and trapped the Xiu Jiao boarding the ship, it was the time to wipe out!"

Then he pulled up the camp and ran eastward. Within half a day, smoke and dust rose up in front of him, and thousands of cavalry galloped. The scout rushed over desperately, leading dozens of cavalrymen covered in blood. When they met, they howled and cried bitterly: "The rebels used tricks and set up ambush along the way, waiting for me to attack halfway. I was pitiful to the three thousand cavalrymen, and they were actually injured in one battle. Only a few of them escaped by chance."

Looking at the way he came, the figures of cavalry gradually appeared in the smoke and dust. The more than a thousand thieves actually rode on one person and three more horses, driving hundreds of galloping horses in front of him and rushed towards him.

Without further ado, the crazy horse crashed into the front army, and the man turned over and over. He followed the bandit army closely, shooting from a distance and killing melons and vegetables for a while. When the central army stopped the crazy horse, he whistled and stopped clashing and turned to the valley.

Zhang Shuye was still in the rear army. Zong Ze was the chief general. Seeing that the cavalry had been broken and the front army was damaged by thousands, he couldn't help but get angry. If Zhang Shuye hadn't been ahead, he would have been afraid that he would not be able to let the three armies run wildly to pursue him.

After placing the soldiers and horses, Zong Ze said to the generals: "It was also a lucky thing. The thief turned around and the scouts in the road ahead would definitely inform the generals of Dengzhou of this incident. Instead, the thief revealed their whereabouts. Just slowly force the thief to go east. After passing through the three mountains and forests, our army can lay out the blade and gradually clear it out. In this way, there is no way out. If there are heavy troops in the future, the thief will be defeated this time!"

Then he ordered his advance. After half a day of travel, he was late at night. After repeated attacks, Zong Ze kept his mind and ordered the three armies to tighten inside and loosen their heads outside. Sure enough, no thieves came to kill them. The scout followed him from afar, and the thief stopped separating his troops and fled, which was a lucky moment.

The next day, he left and went east to oppress, and came out a layer of mountains and forests. There were wide rivers in front of him, two intersected, the water was dull, and only one bridge could cross.

Zong Ze ordered the front army to send a unit of the army to pass first, and there were no dangers along the way, and no thieves came to kill them. Fang this unit held its ground on the road ahead, and all the vanguards crossed, and they responded to the rear army of the central army and crossed the river.

At this moment, arrows rang through the clouds in the forest on the other side. The bandit army that had been waiting for a long time flocked out all the troops, with a total of 1,500, each with a mount, an arrow bag hanging on his waist, and the equipment fell into the victory hook. He held a crisp bamboo spear under his arm, held a horse and ran up to power. He did not approach, bypassed the vanguard army and threw the bamboo spear that had cut its tip into the army.

Three rounds of gunfire rained, and half of the vanguard army was killed. Zong Ze ordered the central army to cross the river quickly. Seeing that the vanguard officer could not do anything, he desperately joined forces to attack the thief army.

The bandit army did not want to get close to him. The first group was to return and then left. They fled into the forest and disappeared. However, the vanguard army was in tears. They saw that the bandit army later criticized the bandit army and even connected bamboo poles in rows. Dozens of people raised them together. They took advantage of the fast horses to run and rushed to force them. The sharp bamboo platoon was unstoppable. The first one would die. The body was mixed with the bamboo platoon, and there was no count of casualties.

Zhang Shuye, who drove the horse to watch the formation, shouted in pain and discussed with Zong Ze, and ordered a group of the central army to take Guan Sheng first, and go upstream to find a smooth river and cross the river and attack: "After all the thieves are cavalry, how can they pass so quickly? There must be a place to cross, and cross the river here, so you can wait and help him!"

The bamboo platoon stirred up the body, leaving only a small open land at the bridge. There were many government troops passing by on the bridge, but they flocked to it and could not step on the rescue. In an impatient manner, the sound of killing in the upstream suddenly sounded loudly. In a short while, Guan Sheng led the defeated army to retreat. It turned out that the retreating group of people in the bandit army had known the minds of the officials and waited in the upstream from the forest. When Guan Sheng led the army halfway, the rain of arrows poured down and the cavalry trampled on it. The poor reinforcements had to lose their troops and return.

The government army on the Haolai Bridge gradually entered the opposite shore with many people. Seeing the empty land coming out, the sound of water in the upper reaches was like thunder, and the bandit army even used a plan to flood water. The sky was pitiful. There were very few cavalry troops in the official scouts, so how could they explore for a long time? I saw that the floating bridge suddenly broke, and hundreds of soldiers above were caught in the torrent.

Zong Ze screamed, and saw the official army on the other side again. In this horror, he taught the thief army to shoot from far and near. Before he met head-on, he had suffered thousands of losses. How could he survive this pursuit?

However, the bandit army seemed unwilling to kill them all, and they were chasing the soldiers on the other side leisurely. When most of the officials finally found a smooth place to cross the river, he whistled again and went east.

In this way, in the narrow territory, for three consecutive days, the official army was always worried and afraid of being attacked. A thief army was really attacked in the dark night. At this point, they were exhausted and desperate.

After all, what will happen next? Let’s see what the next time is.
