Shijie Village.

In the nearby Qingxi Village, the Baozhengs of Songjiazhuang gathered here.

Zhu Tong, Lei Heng, and officials from Yuncheng County including Song Jiang also gathered here.

The Dengzhou Water Camp is coming soon. The army will meet here in Shijie Village, and then board the boat to fight on the Golden Beach.

The next step is to capture Heifengkou and attack Wanzi City.

Nearby were many civilian husbands who had been drafted in. At this time, they were leaning against the car and chatting in boredom.

There are some fishing boats docked in Shijie Lake.

Not far away, there were also groups of mules, donkeys and horses. The donkeys neighed and the horses roared, making it really lively.

A large pile of dry food, as well as some copper coins, silk and cloth collected by powerful people, landlords and guardians from various villages.

This is a benefit to the generals, lest they deliberately set up troops to wreak havoc and destroy the place.

Chao Gai was the most conspicuous among the crowd.

A big man like an iron tower, with a beard reaching to his chest.

There are also brothers Wu Yong, Gongsun Sheng, Liu Tang, Bai Sheng and others around him.

Song Jiang, Zhu Tong, Lei Heng and others, with less than 200 rural soldiers, acted as guards for the people and supplies.

The generals of the Xiang Army looked down upon these rural soldiers, thinking that they were of no great use, so they just took care of supplies and managed the local people.

"The villages near the lake must maintain their integrity, so how many fishing boats have been recruited?"

Zhu Tong's face was a bit ugly.

He and Lei Heng's subordinates still had the task of recruiting fishing boats, warships to transport the main force of the compartment army, and nearby small fish boats to transport them, local soldiers and military supplies.

As a result, after so long of recruitment, there were only a dozen or so ships in front of them. The fishermen on the boat also looked listless, obviously not wanting to serve.

Xie Baozheng of Shijie Village smiled bitterly:"When I heard that the army was coming, all those who could run ran away, and the rest were caught. The fishermen have all hid in the lake. The water area of ​​Liangshanbo is 800 miles away. Where can we find them? Zhu

Tong knew that what he said was true, so he could only smile bitterly and said:"Well, when Chen Dujian and Huang Tuanlian arrive, we will ask the fishermen to make more trips." Lei

Heng squinted at the vast and boundless lake and said in a deep voice:"The eight hundred miles of water are filled with reeds taller than people. Without acquaintances to lead the way, it is difficult to find the golden beach. There are nearly ten thousand officers and soldiers who don't know where to go." How long does it take to ride in the lake? When we get to the golden beach, we have to attack the black wind outlet……"

Zhu Tong understood and whispered:"The officers and soldiers marched slowly all the way. The news has spread hundreds of miles away from Liangshan. Now the fishing boats are prohibited from traveling on the lake and the news is cut off. In my opinion, it will be difficult for the officers and soldiers to attack Liangshan. Otherwise, Just suffer a big loss on the golden beach"

"Arrogant soldiers will be defeated. Chen Dujian, Huang Tuanlian, and Dong Dujian all thought that Liangshan was just a group of grass bandits gathering together. In fact, since the victory of Zengtou City, Liangshan's soldiers and horses are strong and equipped with armor and weapons. They have been training continuously every day... Now with lakes and mountains as barriers, it is too difficult for the officers and soldiers to defeat them."

"In fact, it doesn't matter to them whether they can fight or not. With a lot of fanfare and prestige, the local people have been calmed down, the matter in Zengtou City has been explained, and there is an extra salary for sending troops, plus the benefits of looting along the way, this is the top priority. Troops invade the territory, set fire to the mountains, and just show off your posture."

"Well, so, this time it should be a situation where the officers and soldiers are invincible and Liangshan is undefeated?"

"right. As long as Liangshan sticks to it, the result will be almost the same!"

"The king of Liangshan is not stupid, of course he sticks to the three passes at the foot of the mountain! In this case, it is a good thing that there are not enough boats."

"Well, we have never had any trouble with Liangshan, and we still have contact with each other. This time we can sell favors to Shangyuan."

Zhu Tong and Lei Heng looked at each other and smiled.

In their view, it is impossible for Liangshan to fall.

After all, the soldiers and horses are strong and the three passes are easy to defend and difficult to attack.

But the officers and soldiers pressed hard.

The mountain must also be extremely nervous.

They and others moved slowly. , in the future, when the army retreats, it will be a good opportunity to sell favors to the mountain.

At that time, the mountain will be frightened, like a frightened bird, and I and others will be able to reap the benefits.

Otherwise, Liangshan will take advantage of the power of attacking Zengtou City. It was indeed too prosperous, and they set up cards everywhere to collect money. The local powerful people and the county magistrate Shi Wenbin were very dissatisfied and reprimanded Zhu Dian and Lei Heng many times.

Even if the officers and soldiers came in large numbers once, even if it was in vain, the group of people on Liangshan Mountain You can also be more restrained. If you are not strong enough, it is better not to do too many things that will anger the big shots.

Isn't it better to be a simple robber?

Do you have to put up some kind of banner to protect the law?

……

Not far away, Song Jiang ended his greetings with others and walked to Chao Gai, Gongsun Sheng, Wu Yong and others.

Song Jiang cupped his hands and smiled and said,"I've met Baozheng, I've met all of you brothers."

Everyone said in unison,"I've met Yasi."

"Everyone here, you can see the Jeju Army and the Yunzhou Army arriving respectively in a while, it is estimated that the time will not exceed an hour. Song Jiang said with a smile:"When the time comes, there will be an army of nearly ten thousand people, and it will be a rare bustle."

Chao Gai said with a smile:"Asi, what do you think the outcome of this battle will be?" Song

Jiang looked at Chao Gai and others and said with a smile:"Song doesn't know how to fight. The professor must have great opinions. Song is all ears.""

Wu Yong said with a smile:"Of course Liangshan is waiting for work, abandoning the golden beach, or dragging in suspicious soldiers to exhaust the officers and soldiers, and then stick to the black wind outlet. That's what this campaign will be like. The officers and soldiers worked hard to no avail, but they made a big fanfare at the local level so that the powerful people from all over the country would not dare to collude with Liangshan. Instead, it would become a resistance for the heroes of Liangshan to go down the mountain. If this can be done, this time the troops are dispatched, there will be an explanation to both the superiors and the subordinates."

"Haha, we can be considered heroes and we think alike."

"The professor is indeed very wise and he hit the nail on the head!"

Zhu Tong and Lei Heng also came over and praised Wu Yong.

They were all acquaintances.

Both Yuncheng counties took advantage of Chao Gai.

They were colleagues with Song Jiang.

With Wu Yong, Bai Sheng, Liu and Tang were also familiar with each other.

Only Gongsun Sheng was slightly unfamiliar with them. They exchanged names with each other and they were considered brothers.
