On Shuibo Liangshan, with the addition of "Bing Yuchi" Sun Li and others, Liangshan became stronger. With strong soldiers and horses, there were more people and horses, and the consumption of money and food naturally increased. The money and food accumulated before could not be maintained for several games.

The consumption of the war.

Fortunately, they captured Zhujiazhuang this time and got some money and food supplements. However, Liangshan sent some troops to garrison Zhujiazhuang, which naturally needed money and food, so the money and food transported back to Liangshan from Zhujiazhuang was actually not much.

Just when Zhou You, Chao Gai, Song Jiang, and Wu Yong were thinking about how to get more money and food as soon as possible to increase their strength, and Chao Gai proposed to directly conquer a city close to Liangshan, the opportunity soon came.

There were two county government officials in Yuncheng County, Lei Heng and Zhu Tong. They both respected Song Jiang as their brothers and had some friendship with Chao Gai, Wu Yong and others.

Lei Heng was furious and killed someone, and was involved in a life-threatening lawsuit. He was escorted by Zhu Dian to the state capital, but Zhu Deng secretly let him go on the way. Because he failed to escort the prisoner, Zhu Deng was sentenced to be exiled to Cangzhou, but he was favored by the prefect of Cangzhou.

He left it at home.

At the invitation of Song Jiang, Wu Yong took Lei Heng and Li Kui to Cangzhou to win Zhu Ding to Liangshan, but Zhu Ding was unwilling.

Therefore, Wu Yong asked Li Kui to kidnap the young master of the Cangzhou magistrate. With the support of the troops sent from Zhouyou, he sent the man directly to Liangshan. On the one hand, he lured Zhu Dian, who had lost Xiaoyanei, to Liangshan. On the other hand, he also wanted to go to Liangshan.

Later, when we captured Cangzhou, we would use Xiaoyanei as a hostage to force the Cangzhou prefect who loved his only child to surrender.

Naturally, it is impossible for Zhou You to attack Cangzhou now, because Cangzhou is a little far away from Liangshan. But if he can capture a few cities and take advantage of the victory to attack Cangzhou again, with Xiaoya Nei in hand, it is possible to capture Cangzhou without a bloody blow.

Already.

What he really wants to fight is Gaotang Prefecture. Attacking a prefecture city directly is not a small battle. First, he must have a famous enemy.

The reason for sending troops came very quickly. Because Li Kui kidnapped Xiaoyanei, he was chased by Zhu Tong and fled to Chai Jin's house. It happened that Chai Jin's uncle Chai Huangcheng in Gaotangzhou was critically ill, so Li Kui escorted Chai Jin forward.

Go to Gaotang Prefecture and meet the bully Yin Tianci who bullies Chai Mansion.

Li Kui angrily killed Yin Tianci, causing great trouble. This guy was the brother-in-law of Gao Lian, the magistrate of Gaotang Prefecture. After killing the person, Li Kui escaped under Chai Jin's persuasion, but Chai Jin was killed by Gao Lian.

Caught.

The so-called iron certificate of alchemy given to the Chai family by Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty is just a joke. Gao Lian didn't care at all. From this, we can also see how arrogant he is in the local area.

After receiving the news that Chai Jin had been arrested, Song Jiang, Lin Chong and others who had friendship with him naturally advocated rescuing people. So, they ordered Chao Gai and Song Jiang to stay behind and patrol Liangshan, and personally lead troops to attack Gaotang.

In this battle, Liangshan is destined to be famous all over the world. It symbolizes the rise of Liangshan's rebellion and the battle to seize the city. Naturally, Zhou You cannot do it by pretending to others, but must do it himself.

What's more, Chai Jin is not an ordinary person. Although he is a wealthy and idle man, his status and influence are there! Zhou You attacked Gaotang Prefecture in the name of saving Chai Jin, not only to bring Chai Jin to rebel, but also to use

Chai Jin's name stabilized Gaotang and recruited people.

Outside Gaotang City, facing the Liangshan army, the prefect Gao Lian personally led his troops out of the city to fight. However, Gao Lian did not have any capable generals, and the two generals he sent were killed by Lin Chong and Qin Ming in front of the battle.

We can only set up a Bagua array...

"Ming Jin retreats!" Zhou You sneered upon seeing this, and directly ordered Ming Jin, without letting Lin Chong and Qin Ming lead the Liangshan troops to fight hard.

The Bagua array is considered a relatively powerful military array. Although the Bagua array set up by Gao Lian is not as versatile and powerful as the Bagua array devised by Zhuge Liang, it should not be underestimated. Those who do not understand the secrets should rush into it rashly.

That's a way to die.

Although Zhou You wanted to capture Gaotang Prefecture, he did not want too many casualties among the Liangshan troops to avoid affecting their morale. Only by taking Gaotang Prefecture decisively and at the minimum cost could he truly intimidate all parties and establish Liangshan's reputation.

Guessing that Gao Lian would lead his troops to rob the camp in the evening, he directly ordered Wu Yong to arrange a strategy to deal with the enemy. As expected, Gao Lian led his troops to the Liangshan camp outside the city at midnight.

The Liangshan troops, who had been well prepared, killed Gao Lian's officers and soldiers until they were on their backs. Gao Lian was also hit by an arrow and fled in embarrassment with his remaining soldiers.

"It's a pity that we couldn't keep Gao Lian!" In the Chinese army's tent, everyone in Liangshan who had won the battle was very excited and happy. Only Yang Lin, the 'Jinbaozi' who had led the troops to ambush Gao Lian, was a little regretful.

said.

Zhou You and Wu Yong couldn't help but smile at each other after hearing this. If they wanted to keep Gao Lian, how could Gao Lian escape so easily? At this time, I'm afraid Gao Lian has returned to Gaotang City, and Lin Chong and Qin Ming

, Huang Xin, Shi Xiu and others may have entered Gaotang City together with Gao Lian.

Sure enough, within less than a meal, a messenger came to report that Lin Chong and others had intercepted Gao Lian, pretended to be defeated officers and soldiers, and took Gao Lian back to Gaotang City with them, pretending to open Gaotang City.

The city gates entered the city, and now Liangshan troops have captured Gaotang Prefecture.

"Okay! Send the order, break camp and enter the city!" Seeing everyone looking at him with surprise, joy and admiration, Zhou You couldn't help but smile and ordered.

Early the next morning, Lin Chong led people to rescue him from a quiet courtyard in the back house of Gaotang Prefecture Government Office. He also asked a doctor to heal his wounds and rested for half the night. Chai Jin, who was already in high spirits, saw Chai Jin who came to see him around.

, I was very excited and grateful.

"What? You want me to be the magistrate of Gaotang Prefecture? Leader Zhou, do you really want to rebel?" After some pleasantries, Chai Jin's expression suddenly changed when he heard Zhou You's next arrangements.

Zhou You smiled calmly and said: "Master Chai, our Liangshan people have already sent troops to capture the city, and they have rebelled. Now, everyone knows that we in Liangshan came to attack Gaotangzhou to save you. Could it be that we

Do you still want to have a clear relationship with me, Liangshan?"

"I..." Chai Jin was speechless for a moment, and then his face changed for a while before he said: "That's it! Now that the matter has come to this, what other choice do I have? Thanks to my brother's respect, I will be the prefect of Gaotang Prefecture for the time being.

.However, my Chai family is a big family. In addition to my main branch, there are many branches. Now that they know that I have joined Liangshan, I am afraid that they..."

"Don't worry, I have already sent people to notify other members of the Chai clan, and also sent people to Cangzhou to pick up your family members. I believe they will arrive in Liangshan safely before long," Zhou Youlian said.

Hearing what Zhou You said, what else could Chai Jin say? He could only nod and thank Zhou You. In any case, Chai Jin was very moved by the fact that Liangshan was so grand this time and risked everything to conquer Gaotang Prefecture to save him.

, it’s not in vain that he got to know a lot of heroes in the past!

Gaotang Prefecture was conquered and Gao Lian was killed. Gao Qiu was the first to get the news, because Gao Lian was considered a relative of his, and it was through his influence that he became the prefect of Gaotang Prefecture.

When he learned that Gao Lian had been killed, Gao Qiu was furious. He directly asked Huizong of the Song Dynasty to recommend Hu Yanzhuo as the commander of troops and horses. He led the elite cavalry and infantry troops to kill Gaotang Prefecture, and at the same time, he also mobilized troops around Gaotang.
