Chapter 344: Defeat Liao

Huizong was about to send the Liangshan army to conquer Liao, but the Privy Councilor suddenly stood up and sang a counter-tune.//《》.com》号》号//

Huizong asked, "Why not?"

The Privy Councilor said: "Your Majesty, there are several Liangshan who have just recruited peace. Now I will let them go to war. It is difficult to ensure that they have no intention of rebelling! Therefore, I think it is better to send another army to conquer Liao! Moreover, I think it is not appropriate to force tens of thousands of people in Liangshan to force the city to camp. Your Majesty can turn the troops and horses of Ximen Qing and others into the city, and the soldiers were captured by other cities. The soldiers from other places will return to their original locations. As for the rest, they will be divided into five routes, Shezhou, Shandong, Hebei and other places. This is the best strategy."

Huizong pondered and said, "This..."

Su Yuanjing said, "Your Majesty, I think this plan is not possible. Ximen Qing's group of heroes surrendered, with 18 people, with kindness and brothers. If they are compatriots, they will never be separated and separated. Even if they are reluctant to leave each other, they will not leave each other. What's more, it will take many days to prepare for the order to conquer Liao, which will take too much time. The Liangshan army is already ready, so you can go directly. What's more, what generals are available in the court now? Can they drive out the Liao army? The Liao Kingdom has raised 100,000 troops and occupied the nine behind the mountain.

The county seat of the prefecture. Shen Da wrote to ask for help from all places. He has been dispatched to fight against each other for many times, such as Tang Poyi. The thieves are so powerful that they have no good plans. They always just lose their troops and lose their generals. Lord Zhao, who do you have the ability? Do you dare to lead troops to the expedition? In my humble opinion, it just happened to send all the good generals of Song Jiang and other teams of good generals, and their subordinates to the army, to conquer the Liao thieves, and to subdue these heroes to make contributions and use them for the country. This is really beneficial. The poor ministers dare not beg for the saints to ask for a saint's clerk."

The Privy Council made a stagnant, moved his mouth and did not speak.

Huizong nodded and said, "Su Yuanjing is reasonable, so let's do it like this. Su Yuanjing, leave it to you. What Ximen Qing wants, try to satisfy him, and be sure to drive the Liao army out for me! Alas, I always bothered me, which made me unintentional to listen to the song!" After that, Huizong left with his hands behind his back.

"Greatly send your Majesty!" Su Yuanjing bowed and said.

Ximen Qing was playing chess with Wu Yong in the military camp, and suddenly heard the laughter of Su Changjing coming from outside the camp: "Where is Ximen Qing? I haven't come out to receive the order yet!"

Wu Yong's hand holding the chess was stunned in the air, and then smiled and said, "Here you come!"

Ximen Qing put down the chess piece, clapped his hands, and said with a smile: "Go out and receive the order!"

As he said that, the two of them went out.

Seeing Su Yuanjing coming, Ximen Qing greeted him, bowed his hand, and said with a smile: "Master Taiwei, why are you free to come to our military camp today?"

Su Yuanjing smiled and asked, "What? Can't you come? That's the man left! Haha, I'm leaving, don't regret it!"

Ximen Qing hurriedly brought the accommodation view and smiled and said, "The Grand Marshal finally came here once, how could he leave? Stay for lunch and have a good wine from the emperor!"

Su Yuanjing was stunned, then stroked his beard, laughed, and said, "Okay, I have to be good and good! But before drinking, let's do it in advance!"

As he said that, he raised the imperial edict in his hand and said, "I'm sending you a mission! Ximen Qing, why don't you kneel down and receive the imperial edict quickly?"

Ximen Qing hurriedly sent someone to put down the incense table, lifted the front of him, and knelt down to answer the order.//《》.com》号》号//

Then he saw Su Yuanjing launching an imperial edict and slowly said: "The command said: Now the Liao army has raised 100,000 troops to invade the territory of our Song Dynasty. The crime should be punished. I think that Liangshan has not made any contributions to the recruitment of Liangshan, so I specially sent a Liangshan army to fight against Liao, promote the power of our Song Dynasty, and establish the foundation of our country. Ximen Qing was granted the vanguard of the Liao capital, and the other generals will be appointed. After the achievements are made, they will be given additional officials and titles... On the day of triumph, I will entrust the world to reward me and honor this."

Ximen Qing hurriedly said, "I will receive the order to thank you!"

After saying that, he took the imperial edict.

Su Yuanjing patted Ximen Qing on the shoulder and smiled and said, "Do it well, I'm waiting for you to come back to celebrate the celebration wine!"

Ximen Qing smiled and said, "Don't worry, sir, you will open your stomach and drink!"

Su Yuanjing nodded, then said solemnly: "This time, Your Majesty sent you to fight against Liao, I attach great importance to your mission. I will support you with all my needs. Even if you have any questions, I will try my best to help you complete it as much as possible!"

Ximen Qing said: "Then I'll bother Lord Taiwei. Actually, I have no requirements, there are only three things!"

"You said!" Su Yuanjing said.

Ximen Qing said: "Master Taiwei, I'll tell you clearly! There are still many families living on the main peak of Liangshan Shuibo, such as my parents, Qin Ming's parents, etc. They all live there, and they regard it as home. This time the court recruited us, in name, to send all families to our hometown, but the old man is old and walking around, it is easy to have problems. So I want to ask the Majesty Lord Taiwei for help, so that my parents can continue to live in Liangshan Shuibo. This is the first thing. As for the second thing, it is to keep some soldiers guarding Liangshan to prevent Tian Hu from invading. If our parents are safe, we can fight to the death to serve the country without regrets!"

What Ximen Qing is most worried about now is his family on Liangshan. When he was not allowed to go north to fight against Liao, what would Gao Qiu and others do to Liangshan Shuibo? Liangshan Shuibo is his own base camp. How could Ximen Qing keep others?

Su Yuanjing nodded and said, "I'm leaving this matter to me. Don't worry, no one has moved in the Liangshan Riverside, you can also leave troops there. When you are triumphant, I can even help you plead with the emperor and give you that Riverside! By the way, what is the third thing?"

Ximen Qing smiled and said, "The third thing is related to sending troops. Grandmaster, I don't want the soldiers, but I still need a few talented people, such as Xiao Rang, An Daoquan, Huangpuduan, etc. In addition, you have to ensure that our army has sufficient food and salary!"

Su Yuanjing said: "This is not a big request. I promise you! If you want someone, you can send someone to invite him. Anyway, you are already the pioneer of the Liaodu. This is a third-rank official position! As for food and grass, I promise to give you enough!"

After saying that, Su Yuanjing smiled and said, "I agreed to everything, then when will you set off?"

Ximen Qing clasped his fists and smiled, "I will set off after thanking Longen tomorrow! Go back to Liangshan to mobilize troops first, and then go directly north!"

Su Yuanjing said: "Okay, I'll go back to Beijing now to reply to the imperial edict!"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next day, Su Yuanjing led Ximen Qing to meet the emperor at Wuying Hall. Long Yan was very happy and gave him wine. Yuyin said, "Don't leave the road and go on a trekking journey. The army and horses are driving, and I will fight with me to conquer the enemy and defeat Liao. I will play a sing of triumph and return. I will recruit more. All the generals and sects will be worthy of me. Please do not be lazy! Remember!"

Ximen Qing thanked Long's kindness again, and he was also a fool: "I am a troublemaker, who is in a mess, and has been living in a dilemma. The crimes I committed are unlimited and cannot escape. Now I am included in the priest's mercy and generous grace, and I am forgiven for my own sin. I am brave enough to repay the emperor's kindness. Now I am ordered by the emperor, and I dare not do my best to be loyal. I will die! I will definitely suppress the Liao army and promote the power of the Great Song Dynasty!"

Huizong was overjoyed and immediately rewarded him. He rewarded the army with one thousand taels of gold, five thousand taels of silver, five thousand pieces of colorful satin, and one bottle of wine and one pound of meat. These things were prepared by two officials from the Secretariat, and Ximen Qing's army went north together with food and salary. He also rewarded Ximen Qing's imperial wine on the spot, painted a golden magpies with a bow and arrow, a famous horse, a full saddle and bridle, and a treasure knife. After Ximen Qing thanked him for his gratitude, he left with the decree and the things.

Afterwards, Ximen Qing rectified the army and led the army back to Liangshan.

After returning to Liangshan, all the troops were ready. Then the leaders gathered in the Gaiyi Hall.

Ximen Qing said: "This time we go north to conquer Liao is the greatest opportunity for our Liangshan, and we can't find it. So we will do our best! The cavalry army, Leopard camp, Modao camp, Yuying camp, Eagle camp, Fire camp, Qinglong Dao camp, Lianma camp, Hook sickle gun camp and eleven cavalry Xiaobiao generals were dispatched! The infantry army, Xiang camp, Xiong camp, Wolf camp, Mastiff camp, Shield camp, and the sect camp were dispatched. As for the 2,000 dead soldiers, one thousand left to guard Liangshan. As for the navy, Li Jun, Zhang Shun, Zhang Heng, Tong Wei, Tong Meng, you five each brought 800 people, took a ship to attack, and went out of the Yellow River from Caiheno and headed north! Other navy troops stayed at Liangshan to protect the safety of Liangshan! Chao Gai stayed at Liangshan, and continued to make a living. The rest of the personnel were dispatched by the military advisors."

Everyone clasped their fists and shouted loudly: "Get order!"

Then, the entire Liangshan was running and ready to set off.

On the third day, Ximen Qing sacrificed the heaven and flag, and then led 100,000 troops to send troops north.

The army traveled 60 miles a day, camped and camped in the prefectures and counties they passed without any offense. There was nothing to say along the way.

Soon, the army arrived at the handover between the Liao Kingdom and the Song Dynasty.

Afterwards, Ximen Qing ordered camping and ordered Yue Fei to lead the scouts to investigate. He discussed with Wu Yong, Tao Qian and Song Jiang.

In the camp, Ximen Qing and the other four sat upright. Ximen Qing smiled and said, "After traveling for many days, I finally arrived at the Liao area! There is a city in front of me. After Yue Fei found out, we are looking at what to do. But before that, we have to discuss how to deal with the plundered Liao army! These days, the Liao army invaded the Song Dynasty, and the troops were divided into four groups and the cavalry plundered. How should we deal with them? Should we divide the troops into four groups and wipe out one by one, or should we drive in and directly attack the Liao country and attack his capital?"

Song Jiang said: "I think the troops should be divided into four groups and eliminated the looted Liao army. In this way, we will make military achievements first and let the court taste some sweetness. Otherwise, the corrupt officials in the court will have to take the blame again."

"Otherwise!" Wu Yong shook his head decisively and said, "I think it's better to go straight in, attack the city directly, and attack the heartland of Liao Kingdom! If the troops are divided into four groups, the troops will be too dispersed, and the Liao army invaded the cavalry, which comes and goes quickly! It's difficult to wipe out them! Only by destroying their roots can we get it once and for all!"

Tao Qian also nodded and said, "That's right, it's better to do it once and for all!"

Then Ximen Qing slapped the table, smiled fiercely, and said, "Since that's the case, let's ignore the plundering Liao army. Let's fight the Liao city directly and kill me into his capital!"

"Get orders!" The three of them smiled and hurriedly clasped their fists.

At this moment, Dai Zong's voice suddenly came from outside the tent: "The commander, military advisor, Dai Zong is lucky to have brought the three of them. In addition, it also brought major news in the court..."
