Chapter 259 Death of Dong Ping

In fact, Jiang Hongfei did not need to personally lead the army to attack Dongping Prefecture and Dongchang Prefecture.

But Jiang Hongfei has already sent out all the commanders who can take charge of their own duties.

Now, Jiang Hongfei can't let Liu Huiniang take command to attack Dongping Mansion and Dongchang Mansion?

There was no other way, Jiang Hongfei could only work hard and personally lead the troops to fight.

In view of the fact that Gao Qiu did not have much time left for him, Jiang Hongfei immediately led the Guards Army, Beiwei Army, Tabai Army, Po Enemy Army, and You Yi Army to Dongping Mansion after returning from Qingyun Mountain.

It is worth mentioning that since there is no infantry, it is really inconvenient to fight.

Jiang Hongfei established another 12th Infantry Army and another 13th Infantry Army.

The 12th Bu Army was led by Guang Hui, with Jiang Zhong and Yu Baosi as deputy commanders.

The Thirteenth Infantry Army was commanded by Yan Xiaoguang, who had been conquered by Jiang Hongfei, and Luan Tingyu's friend Sai Cunxiao Wang Tianba was the deputy commander.

Although the Twelfth Infantry Army and the Thirteenth Infantry Army were two newly-built armies, Guang Hui had been the leader of the garrison for many years, and Yan Xiaoguang was also a strong general. These two infantry armies were carefully selected from the garrison. It was formed by selected elites, so its overall combat power is still acceptable.

Unmentioned, Jiang Hongfei also brought all these two infantry troops with him on this expedition.

Before Jiang Hongfei set out, Shi Jin, who was guarding the Hanoi area, sent Jiang Hongfei a message: "A few days ago, Military Advisor Xu came to Hanoi for an inspection. He told me that he might send troops to Dongping Prefecture in the near future. When I was in Dongping Prefecture, I was with There was an affair with a prostitute in the yard. She called her Li Ruilan and she was familiar with her younger brother. The younger brother asked to go back, bring more spiritual money, sneak into the city, and borrow her home to rest. On an agreed date, the elder brother can attack the city. Just waiting for Dong When Ping comes out to fight, my younger brother will go to watch the drum tower and set fire to it. If the inside and outside are coordinated, a big thing can happen."

In the original work, when Song Jiang attacked Dongping Mansion, Shi Jin trusted Li Ruilan deeply and recommended himself to her house as an internal correspondent. Li Ruilan was afraid of getting into trouble, so after discussing with Li Gong and Qian Po, Qian Po advocated reporting to the official and sending Shi Jin to prison. Song Jiang attacked Dongping Mansion and rescued Shi Jin. Li Ruilan's family was killed by Shi Jin and others.

This proves that Shi Jin overthinks and his method is simply not feasible.

Furthermore, just like what Wu Yong said in the original work: "As the saying goes: in a house of prostitutes, the taboo word is 'the one who pulls the beggar and leaks it out'. When you are familiar with the leisure, you welcome the new and see off the old, how many talented people are trapped . It is also of water nature and has no definite meaning. Even if there is kindness, it is difficult for it to come out of the hands of a pious mother-in-law."

Therefore, Jiang Hongfei rejected Shi Jin's request, but said that he would send someone to help him bring Li Ruilan back and make him a concubine.

Those who have read the original work will know that Li Ruilan is just a little timid, and it is not a big problem. The main reason is that the pious woman has evil ideas.

As long as the pious woman is killed, Li Ruilan will be a concubine for Shi Jin. This will also reassure Shi Jin and stop him from thinking about Li Ruilan all the time.

Of course, Jiang Hongfei didn't need to do this little thing himself. Jiang Hongfei just gave an order to Yan Qing, and Yan Qing took care of it.

——Shi Xiu and Jinyiwei were left by Jiang Hongfei to Fang Baihua. After Jiang Hongfei came back, he asked Yan Qing to establish the Wude Department, which was in charge of the village ban, Zhoulu guards, and spying on intelligence, and was directly under Jiang Hongfei's management.

No more gossip.

But he said that Jiang Hongfei led his troops to Dongping Mansion, which was only forty miles away from the city. The place was called Anshan Town, and the troops and horses were stationed there.

Jiang Hongfei asked Yan Qing to tell the generals about the situation in Dongping Mansion.

Yan Qing said: "The prefect of Dongping Mansion is named Cheng Wanli. He was originally the eldest son of Tong Guan Mansion. He is very knowledgeable about governance and has some strategies. The Dongping Military and Horse Supervisor is from Shangdang County in Hedong. My surname is Dong, and my name is Ping. He is good at using two spears, and is known as the Double Spear General. He has courage that no man can match..."

After Yan Qing finished his introduction, Jiang Hongfei asked: "Brothers, do you have any good strategies to break the city?"

Yu Baosi came out and said: "The villain recognizes Dong Ping and is willing to write a letter to say that he is coming to surrender."

Jiang Hongfei shook his head: "Dong Ping is unruly and will not surrender to me. Don't bother."

What Jiang Hongfei said was not without purpose, but in the original work, Song Jiang wrote a letter of war to Yu Baosi and Wang Dingliu, asking them to meet Dong Ping, and the book only talked about borrowing food. As a result, Dong Ping listened. He was so angry that he was pushed out and beheaded. Thanks to Cheng Wanli's persuasion, Dong Ping tied up Yu Baosi and Wang Dingliu one by one, beat them until their skin and flesh were torn, and pushed them out of the city.

Moreover, there is a conflict between Jiang Hongfei, Dong Ping and Cheng Waner.

Based on these two points, Jiang Hongfei said that Dong Ping was rebellious and would not vote for him.

But the people below misunderstood.

I don't know who was so quick to spread the word about Jiang Hongfei and Dong Ping's "jealousy" in the Jinghu area, and also said that Jiang Hongfei's mistress in Dongping Mansion was called Cheng Wan'er, who was Cheng Wanli's daughter.

Unexpectedly, three years have passed, and there are still rumors in the world that Jiang Hongfei has a mistress in Dongping Mansion, and the two are having an affair. The woman's name is Cheng Wan'er, and the two are familiar with each other.

Some people also say that it was because Cheng Waner was in Dongping Mansion that Jiang Hongfei never came to attack Dongping Mansion.

In this way, this matter seems to be "confirmed", and many people are convinced of it.

And this kind of thing always spreads quickly.

Soon, the whole army knew about this.

It is worth mentioning that the reason why Jiang Hongfei did not adopt Yu Baosi's plan to recruit and surrender was actually because Jiang Hongfei had already sent Shi Qian's secret special battalion to Dongping Mansion and Dongchang Mansion. In other words, Jiang Hongfei was not No preparation.

Let’s talk about the high-ranking officials, wealthy families, and gentry in Dongping Mansion.

Hearing that the Liangshan Army was coming to attack Dongping Mansion, all these people rushed to the Prefect's Mansion and asked Cheng Wanli for advice.

Cheng Wanli immediately sent his cronies to inform Shandong Governor Zhang Ji to come to rescue Dongping Mansion, and then sent people to invite Dong Ping to discuss countermeasures.

Who would have thought that Dong Ping did not come to see Cheng Wanli at all, but sent someone to propose marriage to Cheng Wanli again.

It turned out that since Cheng Wanli, Dong Ping and Cheng Waner came back from the Jinghu area, Cheng Waner's reputation had been "bad". Everyone said that Cheng Waner was Jiang Hongfei's mistress, so no one dared to come to the Cheng family to propose marriage.

Hearing such rumors, Dong Ping was very angry. He was angry with Cheng Wan'er for being "indiscreet" and angry with Jiang Hongfei for taking advantage of Cheng Wan'er's reputation.

The key point is that Dong Ping is really not sure whether there is something going on between Jiang Hongfei and Cheng Waner? After all, Jiang Hongfei even knew that Cheng Waner had a birthmark on her butt. Dong Ping really didn't believe that Jiang Hongfei was deceiving.

Dong Ping has a clever mind, has three teachings and nine skills, knows everything, can play bamboo and tune strings, and calls himself "a brave general with two spears, a noble man among thousands of households", and he is not an ordinary arrogant person.

Ordinarily, Dong Ping should look down on Cheng Waner, whose reputation has been insulted.

For a long time, Dong Ping felt the same way.

There are thousands of women in the world. If it doesn’t work, let’s change.

But no matter how you say that, what you can’t get will always cause turmoil.

The more Dong Ping wants to forget Cheng Waner, the harder it will be to forget Cheng Waner.

And Cheng Wan'er also knew that she had caused a big disaster that time and her reputation had been damaged, so she stayed at home studying and embroidering to avoid trouble.

Since Dong Ping never saw Cheng Waner again, in the past two or three years, Dong Ping could barely control his love for Cheng Waner.

If the two never see each other, maybe in a few years, or Dong Ping gets married, this matter will be over.

But not long ago, Cheng Waner, who had not been out for a long time, went to the temple to commemorate her grandmother's third anniversary.

By coincidence, when Cheng Waner came back, she was spotted by Dong Ping who was passing by.

Thousands of romances are irresistible, the pear blossoms are fragrant with rain and jade. The crow of the green bird awakens Luo Fu's dream, which is suspected to be the beauty of plum blossoms at dawn.

Dong Ping never expected that Cheng Waner, who was almost twenty years old after not seeing her for three years, would be even more beautiful than before. She was far more beautiful than the vulgar pinks he had seen in daily life.

Moreover, Dong Ping has noticed Cheng Wan'er's performance in the past three years.

Also, Jiang Hongfei never came to see Cheng Wan'er.

Therefore, Dong Ping began to believe what Jiang Hongfei said back then, that he and Cheng Waner were innocent.

As a result, Dong Ping became more obsessed with Cheng Waner than before.

Finally, not long ago, Dong Ping sent people to propose to Cheng Wanli.

But Cheng Wanli had seen through Dong Ping's character and was unwilling to recruit Dong Ping as his son-in-law, so he made an excuse not to do so.

Dong Ping was furious. He thought to himself: "Your daughter Cheng Wanli's reputation is already like that. I am willing to marry her, so you should just enjoy it secretly. How dare you refuse to agree? You are bullying me too much!"

In response to this, Dong Ping continued to find someone to propose marriage to, while still harboring a grudge against Cheng Wanli.

Now, with the Liangshan Army approaching, Dong Ping knew that Cheng Wanli needed him. If he didn't take action, Dongping Mansion would be destroyed.

And once the Dongping Mansion is destroyed, Cheng Wanli is doomed. At least he will be beaten to the end and he will miss his official career. At worst, his wife will be stabbed and his family will be destroyed.

Therefore, Dong Ping saw the opportunity and sent someone to propose marriage to Cheng Wanli, which meant that "if Cheng Wanli does not agree to the marriage, he will stand still and watch Cheng Wanli's jokes."

Cheng Wanli had no choice but to say to the man: "I am a civil official and he is a military officer. It is just right to marry each other as my son-in-law. But now the thieves are in the city and the matter is critical. If you return the favor, you will be laughed at. Wait. Once we have driven back the traitors and protected the city, it is not too late to discuss the marriage."

The man replied to Dong Ping and explained: "The eunuch generally agreed, but now the Liangshan bandits are approaching the city. You two are discussing marriage at this time. What do others think? Wait until the governor drives away the bandits and we can talk again. Wouldn’t it be better to just talk about marriage?”

Dong Ping responded: "That's right."

But Dong Ping felt in his heart that Cheng Wanli was still evading, worried that Cheng Wanli would regret it after he defeated the Liangshan Army.

Shi Wengong, who served as the vanguard, once led You Yi's army to the gate of Dongpingfu City, he personally led the entire army to call for formation.

Cheng Wanli said to Dong Ping: "Today the bandits have only come with a partial force. If we cannot defeat them for a while to boost the morale of our defenders, it will be difficult for us to defend until Zhang Dutong comes to rescue us. What will the governor think?"

Thinking that Cheng Wanli no longer insisted on marrying his daughter to him, Dong Ping mounted his horse and led an infantry of three thousand horses out of the city to fight.

Shi Wengong personally shouted under the banner of the front gate of the formation: "Dong Ping! How dare you, a mediocre general like me, dare to be me! Don't you hear the ancient saying: The building will collapse, and no one tree can support it. Here comes my family with hundreds of thousands of powerful soldiers and thousands of powerful generals. Act on behalf of Heaven and help those in need and danger. Come down early and avoid death!"

Dong Ping was furious and replied: "You have abandoned your master and betrayed your righteousness. You should be damned as a madman. How dare you talk nonsense!"

After that, Dong Ping raised his two guns and came straight to Shi Wengong!

Seeing this, Shi Wengong smiled slightly, held Fang Tian's painted halberd in his hand, and urged the Zhaoye Jade Lion Horse to take Dong Ping directly.

Dong Ping's pair of iron spears are mysterious and unpredictable.

But that also depends on who Dong Ping’s opponent is.

Shi Wengong's martial arts skills have almost reached their peak. The jade lion and horse under his crotch are flying away like the wind. He gathers his energy and fights Dong Ping vigorously.

All I saw was: Shi Wengong was holding Fang Tian's painted halberd, and his momentum was like a rainbow. Dong Ping, on the other hand, wielded his two guns and was brave and fearless. They were like two tigers descending from the mountain, rushing towards each other quickly. Shi Wengong relied on his excellent martial arts and vigorous physical strength to force Dong Ping into desperate situations time and time again. However, Dong Ping was no ordinary person. With his firm will and tenacious perseverance, he withstood Shi Wengong's fierce attacks time and time again. The atmosphere on the battlefield became increasingly tense, and the battle between the two became more intense. Every confrontation between them is thrilling, and every attack is jaw-dropping. Shi Wengong's Fang Tian Hua Ji pierced the air like lightning, while Dong Ping's double spears were like two dragons sailing out of the sea, unstoppable. In this fierce battle, both men demonstrated their extraordinary martial arts skills and tenacity.

But in the end, Shi Wengong was still superior.

The two only fought for thirty rounds, and Dong Ping was somewhat defeated.

There was no other way, Dong Ping transformed, his arms transformed into long and strong ape arms, and the two spears in his hands became even more powerful.

When Shi Wengong saw it, he opened his mouth, and a beam of white light covered Dong Ping and immobilized him, making Dong Ping unable to move. He fell off his horse, and Shi Wengong caught up and beheaded him.

actually--

Shi Wengong admired Dong Ping's strength and felt that if he could persuade Dong Ping to join him, Shuibo Liangshan would undoubtedly have another brave general.

But Shi Wengong also heard that Dong Ping was once jealous of Jiang Hongfei. The two of them, no, San Qing and the three of them, competed for a woman named Cheng Wan'er.

Although Shi Wengong didn't quite believe that this was true, it was one thing to believe it or not, and another thing to say whether it was worth taking the risk for Dong Ping, a person he didn't even know.

Let's put it this way, even if this rumor is false, Shi Wengong cannot save Dong Ping's life and embarrass Jiang Hongfei, otherwise it means that he, Shi Wengong, is ignorant. Will he still be able to get a good job like a pioneer in the future to make meritorious service and make a career?

Therefore, at the beginning of the war, Shi Wengong had already thought that Dong Ping must not be left behind.

Seeing Shi Wengong's formation beheading Dong Ping, Su Ding, who was holding the formation, decisively followed the agreement he had made with Shi Wengong and ordered: "Charge!"

And Shi Wengong single-handedly rushed into the three thousand Song troops brought out by Dong Ping!

But see: Fang Tian's painted halberd in Shi Wengong's hand was invincible, and the entire battlefield was shaken by it. His figure was like a bolt of lightning, shuttled across the battlefield, and every time he swung his halberd, he was accompanied by a scream. His Fangtian painted halberd was like a dragon, flying and leaping on the battlefield, cutting down the enemies one by one. He led You Yi's army to charge fiercely, smashing the Song army's formation into pieces. Under his leadership, the soldiers of Youyi Army had high morale and fought bravely against the enemy without fear of life or death.

Not long after, the three thousand troops brought out by Dong Ping were slaughtered to pieces by You Yi's army, leaving many dead and wounded.

Cheng Wanli, who was standing on the city wall watching the battle, saw this scene and thought to himself: "The Liangshan army has not yet come, and only a partial army came. They killed the self-righteous Dong Ping and gave away the only capable army in our Dongping Mansion." Defeated, if his army arrives, will my city be invincible? Hmm... It seems that I have to go see my good son-in-law..."
