Chapter 755 Ming Xiu Plank Road Darkness Chen Cang
"Brother, where shall we fight next?"

Qin Ming looked at Sun Lei excitedly. Qingzhou has been taken, and now he can continue to go east and take down the whole Shandong.

"I'm not going anywhere, I'm here, but you can't be idle, you have to fight Dizhou and Jeju!"

Sun Lei looked at Qin Ming with a smile and said.

"Yes, brother!"

Qin Ming suddenly had a strange smile on his face, a meaning that any man could understand, but he would never let go of a battle.

"You! You don't understand me at all."

Sun Lei touched his forehead helplessly and said.

"Little brother understands. Didn't brother just fall in love with Li Qingzhao? Now that the news has spread in the city, brother can rest assured that he can kiss her in the city. Just go fight the city!"

Qin Ming was extremely upright, he said whatever he thought, Sun Lei's great hospitality to Li Qingzhao was seen by all the guards in the city, and now it has spread throughout the city, even thinking about it is exciting for bandit leaders and married women.

"Find a fight!"

Sun Lei was furious. He was not a bandit who robbed women from good families.

"Brother Qin Ming, you misunderstood brother!"

Xiao Jiasui smiled and said.

"What?"

Qin Ming had question marks all over his face.

"These are all intentional by my brother. Now everyone thinks that my brother is fascinated by the beauty and has fallen into a gentle place in Qingzhou. This is what my brother wants everyone to know."

Xiao Jiasui said.

Qin Ming couldn't understand it at all at this time, what is this?Since you like it, just grab it back to the mountain. Could it be that my brother doesn't like older people?
"There was a change in the Battle of Hedong, and Tian Hu was defeated by Zhong Shidao. Tian Hu occupied Weisheng, Fenyang, Zhaode, Jinning, and Gaizhou, a total of 56 counties in five prefectures, and gathered an army of more than 50. But Tian This guy Hu doesn't understand anything at all, and he has lost a state and eleven counties in less than two months."

Sun Lei said.

"So fast, the 50 army was defeated so quickly!"

Qin Ming's expression changed drastically. As a general, Qin Ming knew very well what an army of 50 was, and now the imperial army of the Great Song Dynasty only had this number.

"Tian Hu is a guy who was born as a hunter. What do you expect him to do with a group of refugees in rags and holding hoes and poles? His opponent is a planter!"

Sun Lei looked at Qin Ming and said.

Now that the four bandits are on the rise, Fang La is the one with the richest family background, followed by Sun Lei, then Wang Qing, and the last one is Tian Hu.

This has something to do with their respective preparations. Fang La has been preaching in the south of the Yangtze River for more than ten years, and has also prepared for the rebellion for more than ten years. Whether it is weapons or manpower, it is not bad.

Liang Shan was relatively late to prepare, but Sun Lei had won successive battles, and everything was ready under the support of the battle, but the number of troops was not enough.

Although Wang Qing didn't make much preparations, he was supported by strong locals, and Wang Qing himself was born in the army, so he knew a lot of things in the army, so he had some foundation.

Only Tian Hu, who came from a grassroots background and had no one around him to help him, relied entirely on the continuous natural disasters in the east of the river to encourage the refugees to rebel. It was simply a one-hit defeat.

"This……"

Qin Ming had nothing to say, if Tian Hu's 50 people were refugees in rags and holding hoes and poles, they would really be no match for the elite Western Army. He had heard the name of the Zhong Family Army.

Qin Ming used to look down on thieves and grassroots bandits, thinking they were just a bunch of mobs, but since he went to Liangshan, he has become accustomed to Liangshan's elites, subconsciously thinking that Jianghu and Shanzhai are all such elites.

"Brother, you are going to Hedong!"

Qin Ming looked at Sun Lei, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in the siege of Shandong.

"At the beginning, we made an alliance, but now Tian Hu's letters of appeal for help have come, it's inappropriate for me not to go, brother."

Sun Lei shook his head helplessly, Tian Hu was really able to bend and stretch, and the majestic "King of Jin" sent a letter to Liangshanbo in a low voice to ask for help.

Everything has its pros and cons. Encouraging Fang La, Tian Hu, and Wang Qing to rebel together helped Liang Shanbo share the pressure of expansion. Otherwise, Liang Shanbo would attack the city in Shandong, and the imperial court would go all out to encircle and suppress it. Even if Sun Lei prepared more, he would not dare to say Nothing goes wrong.

But the allies are not all reliable, Fang La still looks a little bit, Wang Qing is a little unpredictable, and Tian Hu is a little crotch.

"Brother, isn't it too dangerous to go to Hedong here!"

Although Qin Ming was reckless, he was also the former general of Qingzhou soldiers and horses. He still knew how to lead the army. Shandong went to Hedong, but the whole of Hebei was separated in between. How could he support this?
"This time I'm going to prepare [-] elite soldiers, no problem."

Sun Lei shook his head and said, since the last battle against the Liao soldiers in Cangzhou, Sun Lei also knew a little about Hebei soldiers and horses. .

There are two reasons for this result. One is that after the Chanyuan alliance, there was no large-scale war between Song and Liao, and the frontier army had been slack for a long time. In recent years, the attention of the Liao army has been on the Jurchens. The army has no pressure, and it is even more corrupt.

The second is that corrupt officials are rampant in the imperial court. The emperor only cares about pleasure and ignores political affairs. The generals of the frontier army are mostly nephews and disciples of high officials in the court. It's terrible, and even in the hands of the frontier army, they will be exploited by the superior officials. There is no food, no salary, and no weapons. This makes the bottom-level frontier army complain.

This kind of Hebei made Sun Lei very relieved. If the imperial court sent troops to intercept him, he would go directly to Cangzhou from Hebei, absolutely unimpeded.

"During this period of time, you should attack the surrounding state capitals. If you have nothing to do, send Li Qingzhao something in my name. It won't take long. It won't be long until I show up in Hedong."

Sun Lei looked at Qin Ming and said, Everyone in the Thunderbolt Qin Ming knows Qingzhou, so they should be able to make the momentum bigger. Anyway, everyone in Qingzhou now feels that they have been stunned by Li Qingzhao.

"Brother, when are you leaving?"

Huang Xin looked at Sun Lei and asked.

"Let's go tonight. You and Qin Ming will be left here. The attack on the state capital can be loud with thunder and light with little rain. You are mainly acting as cover."

Sun Lei looked at Huang Xin and said, Huang Xin is a smart man. Although he is not good at martial arts, he has a good mind and knows how to judge the situation. It is not just luck that Liang Shan survived in the Water Margin.

"Yes, brother!"

Huang Xin cupped his fists at Sun Lei and saluted.

That night, Sun Lei quietly left with Xiao Jiasui, Tang Bin, Hua Rong, Zhang Qing, Shi Xiu, Hao Siwen and others, and the entire Qingzhou Mansion did not remain the same.

"Is this trapping me in Qingzhou?"

Qin Ming sat on the official chair in the lobby of the magistrate's yamen, and he seemed to have missed the big battle again.

"Men Guan, we are covering for my brother!"

Huang Xin persuaded them that their task was not light. On the one hand, they had to pretend that Sun Lei was still there, and on the other hand, they had to attack the surrounding state capitals to attract attention.

"I'm going to go to the state capital. You are the prefect here. By the way, remember to give Li Qingzhao a gift, brother ordered."

Qin Ming didn't want to take care of those cumbersome matters, so he directly pushed everything to Huang Xin.
