Xianxia version of Water Margin

…

The son-in-law was killed, and the daughter was occupied and humiliated by the bandit leader. Where can Cai Jing put his old face? !

The key point is that Jiang Hongfei did not even let go of Cai Jing's daughter and son-in-law. Obviously, he did not let him go to Sikong, Kaifu Yitong Sansi, Zhongtaiyi Palace Envoy, Shangshu Zuopushe, Taiwei, Taishi, and the three provinces. The Duke of Lu and the powerful ministers of the dynasty took it seriously!

More importantly, Cai Jing had a total of nine sons (historically it was eight, but in Water Margin it can only be said to be nine, because there was Cai Dezhang, the prefect of Cai Jiu in Jiangzhou), and Mrs. Cai was the only daughter.

Moreover, Mrs. Cai is Cai Jing's daughter who was born in his old age. Mrs. Cai is also very filial and pure. She is Cai Jing's little cotton-padded jacket. Cai Jing loves Mrs. Cai very much.

I remember that at the beginning, Cai Jing was worried about Mrs. Cai's marriage and made thousands of choices to choose a good husband for her daughter.

Ten years ago, Mrs. Cai reached the age of marriage. Wu Min was talented. Cai Jing liked his writing and wanted to recruit him as his son-in-law.

But at that time, Wu Min was young and energetic and did not want to get involved with Cai Jing, a powerful figure, so he rejected Cai Jing's kindness.

As a result, Wu Min became famous and was greatly praised by those in the old party.

In order to show his ability, Cai Jing went against all odds and recommended Wu Min for the post of librarian, and later promoted Wu Min single-handedly.

It can be said that Wu Min gained both fame and fortune because of this incident, which laid a solid foundation for him to become prime minister in the future.

However, this incident was a bitter experience for Mrs. Cai, who was originally talented, beautiful and well-born, and suddenly became a joke.

At that time, Liang Shijie, who was born in a poor family, was a high school Jinshi and ranked among the best. With good looks and abilities, Cai Jing married his only daughter to him and gradually promoted him to the top in less than ten years. As the head of the Daming Mansion, he became a high-ranking official of the third rank, and also became an effective member of the Cai family.

It can be said that although Liang Zhongshu was a little cunning, he still had Cai Jing's thoughts in mind.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Hongfei actually killed his son-in-law, whom Cai Jing was very fond of, and even dared to take Cai Jing's daughter into his backyard as a plaything!

audacious in the extreme!

It's unbearable and mature!

Zhang Ge, the prefect of Caozhou, is a relative of Cai Jing. The Guangji Army under his command is now the front line of defense against Shuibo Liangshan. Caozhou is also bordered by Shuibo Liangshan, so he knows Shuibo Liangshan very well.

It happened that Zhang Qian was working in the capital at this time, and the imperial court sent a large army to annihilate Shuibo Liangshan.

Cai Jing called Zhang Gao and told him that Jiang Hongfei led the Liangshan army to break through Daming Mansion, kill his son-in-law, and seize his daughter, which humiliated him. He asked Zhang Gao to tell him in detail about the group of bandits in Shuibo Liangshan. what is going on?

Zhang Qian said: "This group of water bandits is no different from ordinary thieves..."

Therefore, Zhang Gao compiled Jiang Hongfei's behavior, the attitude of the people in Liangshanbo toward Jiang Hongfei, Shuibo Liangshan, and the Zhao and Song court, as well as other things he knew about Jiang Hongfei and Shuibo Liangshan. Wu Yi Shi told Cai Jing.

When he first heard it, Cai Jing didn't pay much attention.

But the more he listened, the more Cai Jing frowned.

After hearing this, Cai Jing said with a serious face: "If this thief is not eliminated, he will become a serious problem for the imperial court!"

Zhang Ge agreed: "The lower official also thought so, so he came to the capital to move troops to destroy this group of water pirates."

For Zhang Gao, the current situation is that if Shuibo Liangshan expands further, it is likely to expand towards Caozhou. At that time, Zhang Gao's Guangji Army will inevitably have a battle with Shuibo Liangshan.

And the Guangji Army only has less than ten commanders. How could it be the opponent of the Liangshan Army?

Moreover, Zhang Gao felt that it was better to fight early than to fight late. The more time Shuibo Liangshan was given, the stronger Shuibo Liangshan would develop and the harder it would be to destroy it.

In addition, Shuibo Liangshan almost went out to attack Daming Mansion this time. In Zhang Gao's view, this was definitely a God-given opportunity to wipe out Shuibo Liangshan.

Therefore, Zhang Zhicai went to Beijing to ask the imperial court to send troops to annihilate Shuibo Liangshan.

But after Zhang Gao entered Beijing, he encountered obstacles everywhere. No one was interested in wiping out Shuibo Liangshan.

Seeing this, Zhang Gao was disheartened and prepared to return to Caozhou.

Unexpectedly, there is no way to return to doubts after mountains and rivers, and there is another village with dark flowers and bright flowers.

Jiang Hongfei actually tried his best to kill Cai Jing's son-in-law, and he also had the audacity to treat Cai Jing's daughter as a plaything, and this matter quickly spread. If Cai Jing had not wiped out Shuibo Liangshan, then Cai Jing's temper would be too good.

After Zhang Ge's friend Yang Guishan learned about the incident, he advised Zhang Ge not to leave yet, as things might turn around.

Facts have proved that Yang Guishan guessed correctly, and Cai Jing found Zhang Zhi who had been running to destroy Shuibo Liangshan recently.

Cai Jing asked: "If I want to destroy this group of water bandits, what can Magistrate Zhang teach me?"

Zhang Qian said: "The reason why this group of water bandits is difficult to exterminate is because the eight hundred miles around Liangshan Bo are surrounded by deep-sea tributaries and vast swamps of reeds and grass. Most of the water bandits are fishermen from Liangshan Bo. They are familiar with the waters there and will not send any troops." Thousands of navy troops went to attack, and even the edge of Liangshan could not be touched. Now the leader of the thieves, Jiang Yan, boldly led a group of water pirates to attack Daming Mansion. They were also greedy for the property in Beijing, and they delayed returning, losing Barriers bring disaster upon themselves. If the imperial court sends out a large army at this time, all the way to capture Liangshan and all the way to Damingfu to encircle and suppress the water bandits, no matter which way they win, they can destroy this group of water bandits and eliminate harm to the country."

Cai Jing felt that what Zhang Gao said made sense, so he said: "I have sent good generals and soldiers to capture Liangshan to encircle and suppress the water bandits entrenched in Daming Mansion. Do you have any good strategies or good generals that can suppress them?"

Zhang Qian said: "A few days ago, my subordinate was at Yanggui Mountain and I talked to him about this matter. He said that there are some good generals in Hebei who can suppress thieves. Why don't we invite him to come over and discuss it together?"

Yangguishan, named Shi, with the courtesy name Zhongli, was born in Jiangle County, Jiannan County. He was extremely filial in nature and was promoted to Jinshi during the Xining period. He was a disciple of Confucius Cheng of the Ming Dynasty. He, Xie Liangzuo, Lu Dalin, and You Zuo were known as the "Four Masters of the Chengmen" .

Previously, because Yang Guishan criticized Hua Shi Gang and alluded to Zhao Ji and a group of traitorous ministers who helped Zhao Ji collect Hua Shi Gang, he was transferred to Xiaoshan as the county magistrate by Zhao Ji.

After Yang Guishan became the magistrate of Xiaoshan County, he handled various government affairs and made smooth decisions. Later, because the people suffered from drought for several years, he started to build Xiang Lake and irrigate Jiuxiang. He made outstanding achievements and was transferred back to the central government. There is currently no specific appointment. position.

Zhang Qian mentioned Yang Guishan at this time, not only because Yang Guishan did have good generals who were good at fighting, but also because he wanted to help Yang Guishan find a good job.

Cai Jing knew very well that if he wanted to do anything, he had to rely on these capable officials. In most cases, those who were flattering could not be counted on.

So Cai Jing pretended to be overjoyed and said: "It turns out that Yang Shi has a good general, so let's invite him to discuss the matter of suppressing the bandits."

So Zhang Gao brought Yang Guishan to discuss matters.

After they met and exchanged greetings, Cai Jing asked bluntly: "Zhifu Zhang said, where do you have good generals to suppress thieves? Who are they?"

Yang Guishan said: "Deng Zongbi, the general manager of Enzhou, Zhang Yinglei, the commander of Kaizhou, Xin Congzhong, the general manager of Wuding Prefecture, and Tao Zhenting, the general manager of Guangping Prefecture. These four people all have the talents of generals. I hope the grand master will put them to good use."

Zhang Gao helped from the side and said: "These four people are all first-class Qi practitioners, and they all have powerful supernatural powers and are proficient in the art of war. They will definitely be able to share the worries of the Grand Master."

While speaking, Zhang Gao thought of another person and said: "Yun Tianbiao, the general manager of Jingyang Town, is like the reincarnation of Yunchang Guan of the Three Kingdoms. His strength should still be higher than that of the four generals Deng, Xin, Zhang and Tao. If this person is in the army, he will definitely be able to The whole army was united, and the water bandits were frightened. Moreover, this man also had a son-killing feud with the Liangshan water bandits. His only son Yunlong was killed by the Liangshan water bandits, and his unmarried daughter-in-law was also taken over by Jiang Yan, the leader of the bandits."

"Another Guan Yu?"

"Wait a minute, the leader of the thieves is also occupied by Jiang Yan? What does Zhang Gao mean? Are you laughing at me?!"

Now is the time to employ people, and it is difficult to get angry, so Cai Jing suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and said: "There is still a lack of someone who has an overview of this matter. You see..."

Zhang Qian said: "Your Majesty also needs to defend against the water pirates. If necessary, we can lead our Guangji Army to give the water pirates a fatal blow. I would like to recommend Mr. Guishan to review this matter."

There is a reason why Zhang Gao recommended Yang Guishan.

Liang Zhongshu is dead, and the position of chief official of Daming Mansion in Beijing is vacant.

If Yang Guishan can really destroy Shuibo Liangshan, he might be able to become the new chief official of the Daming Mansion in Beijing. To say the least, he might as well be a prefect.

Yang Guishan is also ready to make a move.

Therefore, Yang Guishan did not refuse Zhang Qian's recommendation.

Cai Jing really wants to wipe out Shuibo Liangshan now, but he doesn't want those old party members to join him in serving the public good for personal gain. The key is that he doesn't want to delay Zhao Ji's plan to regain the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun because of his own affairs.

In this way, it would be a good idea to use Yang Guishan, a member of the old party, to do this.

So, when the next day came to court, someone took the Liangshan Army and captured Damingfu City, and reported to Zhao Ji the burning, killing and looting in Damingfu City.

Zhao Ji was furious and asked around: "Who can help me relieve my worries and destroy this group of evil thieves?"

As soon as Zhao Ji finished speaking, someone came forward to recommend him: "I think Yang Shi can take on this important task."

After some wrangling, Yang Guishan was appointed by Zhao Ji as Beijing's pacifier and went to Daming Mansion as soon as possible to organize Hebei troops to annihilate the Liangshan Army.

With the green light given by Cai Jing and Tong Guan, Yang Guishan immediately sent out a message to the four generals Deng, Xin, Zhang, Tao and Yun Tianbiao, who each led their own troops to come to the army to listen. He also mobilized Xiangzhou, Cizhou, Enzhou, Bozhou, Yizhou and The state troops, as well as the 20,000 troops from Kaide Prefecture, a total of 50,000 troops went to destroy the Liangshan Army.

After Yang Guishan left the capital, he first arrived at Kaide Mansion.

At the same time, Yun Tianbiao, the general manager of Jingyang Town, came to help in the battle.

It turned out that Yun Tianbiao also heard the news in Jingyang Town that the Liangshan Army was attacking Daming Mansion in Beijing. He dreamed that the court would allow him to fight and avenge his only son.

Yun Tianbiao felt that his begging might have moved the heavens. Just as he was waiting in circles, he suddenly received a message from the Privy Council, instructing him to take his troops to Kaide Mansion to obey orders and to encircle and suppress the Liangshan Army together.

Yun Tianbiao was so happy that he immediately led the five hundred machete hands he had personally trained and rushed to Kaide Mansion at starry night.

When Yun Tianbiao arrived at Kaide Mansion, Yang Guishan also happened to arrive at Kaide Mansion.

Yang Guishan was very surprised when he saw Yun Tianbiao, who had a face like a jujube, phoenix eyes and silkworm eyebrows, a dragon walking like a tiger and a beautiful beard stretching across his belly, and a voice like a loud bell.

Yang Guishan also knew that he actually did not have the ability to lead the army, so he appointed Yun Tianbiao as the acting military commander to command the 20,000 troops in Kaide Mansion.

After repeated urging from Yang Guishan and Yuntianbiao, the 20,000 troops in Kaide Mansion only reached 14,500.

Yun Tianbiao said to Yang Guishan: "My lord, we can't wait any longer. If we wait any longer, we may lose our opportunity to fight."

So, Yang Guishan and Yun Tianbiao led the fifteen thousand troops northward.

At the same time, the four generals Deng, Xin, Zhang, and Tao, who had received the order that day, had already led their troops and horses like flying to Daming Mansion in Beijing, and all four generals had already taken over the battle with the Liangshan Army. .

On this day, Yang Guishan and Yun Tianbiao led the army to Yuancheng, which was only dozens of miles away from Daming Mansion.

——This is the gathering point for the army set by Yang Guishan.

At this time, almost all the four generals Deng, Xin, Zhang, and Tao, as well as the troops from Xiangzhou, Cizhou, Enzhou, Bozhou, and Yizhou, had arrived in Yuancheng.

However, Yuancheng had already been captured by the Liangshan Army who struck first.

At this time, Yuancheng and Damingfu City formed a mutual support trend.

When the Song army first arrived in Yuancheng, Shi Bao, the defender of Yuancheng, often went into battle and defeated several waves of Song armies.

After the Song army gathered more and more in Yuancheng, Shi Bao closed the city and stood firm.

After that, the Song army surrounded him and attacked from all sides, but the Liangshan army repelled the attacks.

After Yang Guishan and Yuntianbiao arrived at Yuancheng, all the Song generals paid their respects. Yang Guishan asked, "Why hasn't Yuancheng been captured yet?"

Yang Guishan and Yuntianbiao originally wanted to use Yuancheng as their base camp, but unexpectedly, the Song army could not defeat it for so many days.

Deng Zongbi reported: "The guard general of this city is named Shi Mingbao. This man is as cunning as a fox and as fierce as a wolf. There is a Liangshan horse army and a Liangshan infantry army in the city. The number of troops is not large, but the people in the city don't know what evil they have possessed." , actually cooperated with the water bandits to defend the city, causing us to attack the city many times, but all failed."

Yang Guishan did not believe that thousands of Liangshan troops would be so difficult to deal with, so he personally supervised the battle and asked the four generals Deng, Xin, Zhang, and Tao to attack the city from all sides at the same time.

Faced with such a fierce siege, Shi Bao arranged for Ma Lin, Jie Zhen, and Jie Bao to each guard a city wall, and he personally guarded the last wall.

Soon, the Song army launched a fierce attack on Yuancheng with its superior strength.

However, due to full preparation before the war, Shi Bao was well prepared and very calm when facing the attack of tens of thousands of Song troops.

He commanded the "garrisons" led by Ma Lin, Jie Zhen, and Jie Bao, relying on the favorable terrain and building solid fortifications. From a high position, he took advantage of the Liangshan Army's divine arm bow to kill a large number of Song troops from a long distance.

——"Li Jing's Art of War" divides combat troops into five combat formations according to their types of arms and combat tasks, namely, the jumping team, the cavalry team, the surprise team, the vanguard team, and the garrison team. Among them, the front team is used for offense, while the garrison team is used for defense.

The Liangshan army garrison concentrated on strong bows and crossbows, and took turns to shoot with arrows like rain, thwarting three large-scale attacks by the Song army.

At dusk, when the Song army was retreating, Shi Bao personally led the Ma Qi army to suddenly leave the city, and then covered up the attack, causing heavy casualties to the Song army...
