Water Margin official

In early spring, in March, it turns from warm to cold.

Yin Shengting of Jeju Prefecture sat down with a solemn look on his face.

"My lord, although the weather is warm now, it is not the time to start a war. Besides, the eight hundred miles of water are vast and the harbors are many. If you are not careful, the army will fall into it." The three capitals of Jeju arrested He Tao, the envoy.

I secretly took a look at the expression on Mr. Zhizhou's face and saw that he looked unkind, so I swallowed my saliva, suppressed the rest of my words, and stopped speaking.

Huang An, the training envoy of the Jeju regiment, glanced at He Tao with disdain and saluted: "My lord, those bandits are cunning and have been hiding in the water and never went out. Now I have mobilized four to five hundred ships, large and small, and four battalions.

The infantry and a battalion of cavalry have also been fully organized and organized. This battle will definitely wipe out the bandits."

Fu Xu, the governor of Jeju, said: "This area of ​​800 miles around Shuibo Liangshan belongs to the Kuotian Office of Xicheng. If the officials know that this place has been occupied by thieves, how will I report back if I blame them?"

If you are well fed with the state's salary, you should share the worries of the officials and wipe out this group of bold and powerful thieves."

"Huang An, I now entrust the four infantry battalions of the Jeju Guards Infantry Command and Envoy Division, together with one battalion of horse troops, and five hundred native soldiers of the Inspection Division, to your command, and we will set off for the expedition immediately.

When Liangshan is wiped out and all the bandit leaders are killed, I will personally write a victory report for you and ask for credit from the imperial court!" Jeju Prefect said in a deep voice.

Huang An clasped his fists and shouted: "I will accept my order."

The governor of Jeju, who is so eager to wipe out the Yangshan bandits, really wants to get a good evaluation in the last year of his term and make further progress.

No matter how much he wanted to rule, a group of grassroots appeared and occupied the palace's property, which was really a slap in the face.

After the Governor of Jeju finished his official duties, he waved for everyone to disperse.

After the Prime Minister of Zhizhou left, He Tao followed Huang An and left the palace one after another.

"Huang Tuanlian, stay back!" He Tao called to Huang An, who was walking in front of him.

"He Zhan, but what do you have to say?" Huang An frowned, but still stopped.

He Tao didn't take Huang An's cold expression seriously, and just said: "My little brother recently found out that there are now five to seven thousand minions in Liangshan, and they are training day and night."

"They're just a bunch of country weeds, what's the point!" Huang An still looked disdainful.

He Tao sighed: "Huang Tuanlian, it is said that the Liangshan bandit's first act of heaven can deceive people's minds. Two big flags were erected in the village. One side said 'Practice for heaven' and the other side said 'Reward good and punish evil'.

He never went down the mountain to plunder, but also distributed money and food to the people."

Huang An said angrily: "He Zhan, as a court official, are you pitying these bandits?"

Seeing Huang An's anger, He Tao knew that he had made a mistake, so he quickly covered it up and said, "That's not what I meant. I wish the group training will be successful and the bandits will be wiped out."

Huang An coldly "hummed" and walked away.

Seeing that Huang An didn't seem to care, He Tao shook his head and sighed, then left the government office and went home.

However, it was said that Huang An, the training envoy of the Jeju regiment, immediately ordered four battalions of infantry, one battalion of horse troops, five hundred patrol soldiers, and four to five hundred ships of various sizes to advance along the waterway and move towards the eight hundred miles of water.

Let’s go.

As soon as the Jeju army left the city, the news was quickly transmitted to Yangshan.

Zhang Zhengdao received the rewards from the spies in the cottage, and now he beat the drum and gathered his generals.

In the Juyi Hall, all the leaders stood up to ask for a fight.

Zhang Zhengdao stretched out his hand and pressed it. After the hall became quiet, he said: "This time, the Jeju government has dispatched 2,000 infantry, 500 horse troops, and 500 local soldiers. A total of 3,000 officers and soldiers have arrived at Hudangli in Shijie Village.

Settlement."

"There is nothing to fear from these three thousand officers and soldiers. As long as we lure them into the reed swamps of the lake, divide them and kill them, we can decide in one battle." Wang Lun said.

Zhang Zhengdao smiled and said: "Right now, Jeju Island is short of young and strong labor. It would be best if we could capture all three thousand people alive."

Fang Xuedu offered his advice: "Master of the village, why not lead this group of officers and soldiers to the golden beach, seize their boats, and cut off their escape route."

Zhang Zhengdao thought for a moment, and then issued the general's order in turn. Liang Shanshui, infantry, and horse armies moved together to prepare for the battle.

But Huang An, with three thousand troops, mobilized at Shijie Village Lake, separated the ships, and prepared two lines to attack Liangshan.

Two thousand infantry troops, together with five hundred patrol officers and soldiers, all boarded the boats, waved their flags, and rushed to the golden beach of Liangshan Mountain.

Huang Andu stood up on the bow of the ship and was in high spirits. This was the first time that the three thousand officers and soldiers of Jeju Prefecture were at his disposal.

A large number of ships, large and small, moved forward together, but not a single ship was encountered along the way.

"Regiment training, maybe the bandits heard about the army's conquest and hid on the Liangshan Mountain and did not dare to show their heads." The infantry general of the battalion next to Huang An said with a smile.

Huang An looked at the spring scenery of the eight hundred miles of water, and vaguely saw a huge island emerging in front of his eyes.

There seemed to be flags waving on the island, and there seemed to be shouts of killing.

While I was watching carefully, I saw a fast boat emerging from the reed swamp. There were three or four men with bare arms standing on the fast boat, shouting towards this side: "That thief!"

"Huang An, you dare to flirt with grandpa because you have the heart of a bear but the courage of a leopard. Now you will never come back."

Huang An saw that the big man kept cursing and was extremely arrogant, so he ordered his archers to bend their bows and nock arrows, and shoot at the clipper.

But the two sides were still far apart, so the crossbow arrow flew near the clipper and fell into the water.

When the man who kept yelling and scolding saw this, he taunted loudly: "You are so weak, go home and eat your mother's milk before you come back."

"Go forward together and capture this thief!" Huang An shouted loudly.

The officers and soldiers rowed hard and chased the clipper.

The big man on the boat turned out to be Ruan Xiaoqi, the "Living Yama". When he saw the ships of the officers and soldiers approaching, he ordered the sailor Erlang to row the speedboat into the reeds and hide his whereabouts.

When Huang An saw that the clipper had disappeared, he waved his flag and the army continued to march towards Liangshan.

When the ships of the Jeju official army arrived at a narrow port and could not move forward together, they transformed into a long snake formation and penetrated the reed grass.

Although the water surface of this eight-hundred-mile water park is wide, there are many forks next to Liangshan Island.

After exiting these small waterways, a huge island came into view. On the golden beach, there was a team of people, seemingly five hundred in number.

"Regiment training, that group of thieves actually wanted to fight with us on that beach. How brave!" A general pointed his spear in his hand with disdain on his face.

Huang An took a look at the situation around him. Four to five hundred ships were already surrounding him. He was just waiting for his order to rush up to Liangshan to fight.

"Regiment training, beware of fraud!" Another general was cautious, seeing that the bandits on Liangshan Island did not intercept them on the water, but waited in formation on the island, so he must have something to rely on.

Huang An narrowed his eyes slightly and watched carefully for a while, but saw no movement on the island. The bandits arrayed on the beach were still as stable as Mount Tai and motionless.

Remembering the instructions from the Governor of Jeju, Huang An stopped waiting, waved the command flag in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Attack Liangshan!"
