Chapter 359 Sun Erlang Leads the Army to Qingzhou
When she woke up early the next morning, Sister Gu was still entangled with Sun Xin, her eyes were like silk, until she felt that she was a little ashamed to be seen by the maid in that new Tang suit, so she patted Sun Xin and told him to let him go.

Sister Gu had just changed her clothes and was about to go out to ask the maid to get something to eat, when suddenly her complexion became ugly and she turned to look for the toilet.

"What's wrong?" Sun Xin asked anxiously.

Sister Gu ran to the toilet and retched for a long time without vomiting anything out. She said to Sun Xin in distress, "I feel sick, maybe I got wind at night?"

Sun Xin looked at Sister Gu and suddenly asked, "How long has it been since you had your period?"

Sister Gu did the math and replied to Sun Xin: "Is it half a month late? I'm planning to ask Dr. Zhang to prescribe a side drug."

Sun Xin thought that his second wife's heart was really big, so he quickly said to Sister Gu: "Are you afraid you have it?"

Sister Gu blinked her eyes, "That's it?"

Sun Xin and Sister Gu attached great importance to this, and hurriedly asked the dealer to rush to find Dr. Zhang, who specializes in taking out medicine, when Sun Kee’s drugstore opened. After a while, Mr. Zhang announced the good news to Sun Xin, saying that it was Sister Gu Most of them are pregnant.

Sister Gu was both surprised and delighted. This girl had always thought that she would not be able to conceive. When she heard that she might have a baby in her belly, she immediately walked heavily, and she used to support her stomach from time to time. In fact, she was less than two months pregnant. , The belly didn't show at all.

Sun Xin was also happy. In the afternoon, when Hu Sanniang came back from Wendeng, Sun Xin told her the news. Although Hu Sanniang was a bit apprehensive, she still said that she would take good care of Sun Xin after she left.

After lingering with his two wives for a while, the team was ready the next day, and Sun Xincai set off for Qingzhou.

There are many mountains in Qingzhou. In these days, as long as there are mountains, it is easy to hide people. Once the court has no way, the people will naturally flee into the mountains.

The topography of Qingzhou has made it a place where bandits gather since ancient times. Since Cao Cao recruited Qingzhou soldiers, the mountains and forests here have never been peaceful.

Wu Song, Sun Xin's chief intelligence steward, was riding with Sun Xin at this time, telling him about the situation in Qingzhou at this time.

"The imperial court sent [-] soldiers to Qingzhou, and they are now in the city for resupply and training. Brother Luan said that our protection army will not be different from him. The team will first be stationed in the mountains and forests. We have enough food and grass. We will not enter before the battle. It doesn't matter about Qingzhou City."

Sun Xin nodded. The Protectorate Army is basically a field army configuration. It can be used to defend the city, but if you want to annihilate the Liangshan bandits who invaded, you have to go out of the city to attack.

If it is to rely on Qingzhou City for defensive layout, it will be more conducive to combat than directly forming a group in Qingzhou City.

"What do the officers and soldiers from the imperial court look like?"

Wu Songdao: "Arrogant and domineering, they harass the local people a lot."

With these two sentences, Sun Xin basically knows the virtues of the officers and soldiers.

Soon after Sun Xin entered Qingzhou, he was greeted by Qingzhou Xiangjun.

The commander-in-chief of the Qingzhou Xiang Army was the commander of the Qingzhou Command Division who succeeded Qin Ming. His name was Shi Wanchong. He looked about forty and was tall.

Shi Wanchong looked at the team following Sun Xin, and was a little surprised at the orderliness and large number of the team.

Now Sunjiazhuang has stationed [-] soldiers in Qingzhou, and Sun Xin brought another [-] this time.

The officers in Qingzhou generally don't know that there are so many guards outside Qingzhou City.

The military system of the Song Dynasty emphasized strong stems and weak branches. In the city of Bianliang, there were 60 forbidden troops, which were known as 80 to the outside world. These were all Zhao Ji's emperor's pro-army, which was the military force that the Song Dynasty relied on most at this time. Lin Chong 80 The title of Instructor of the Ten Thousand Forbidden Army came from the fact that he was the Instructor of the Forbidden Army.

In addition to the Forbidden Army composed of the best talents selected from all over the country, the defense of the various places on weekdays is divided into the Xiang Army and the local soldiers. In fact, even the daily training intensity of the Forbidden Army is very low. The combat effectiveness is still there, and these Xiangjun and local soldiers are almost all composed of service personnel who have been screened and marched, which is far inferior to the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Army.

In the original novel, Hu Yanzhuo brought only [-] soldiers and horses to conquer Liangshan, and they were basically Xiang troops brought by Hu Yanzhuo and two lieutenants Han Tao and Peng Qi from the regiment training in his hometown.

However, in this time and space, Liangshan developed much faster than in the original history. Three prefectures and counties have been laid down, and the number of available soldiers and horses on Liangshan alone has reached [-]. Just use the village army as the main force as before
The Dianqian Division headed by Gao Qiu specially dispatched 3000 imperial troops to cooperate with the general Hu Yanzhuo, the deputy Chenzhou regiment trained Han Tao, and the Yingzhou regiment trained Peng Qi from his hometown. The total number of troops reached more than [-]. .It is known as [-] to the outside world.

In contrast, everyone only thought that the Protectorate Army was the hero of the country who came to help out. Even if Sun Xin had guarded the post on Dulonggang before, but to outsiders, this matter was nothing more than Sun Xin, the son-in-law, brought his own son-in-law. Soldiers and horses are just going to help the old man guard the house.

Although it is a small miracle to resist an invasion of Liangshan in the early days, it is really not a big skill.

Don't care much about that number.

So much so that Shi Wanchong didn't know that more than 3000 soldiers and horses had been quietly ambushed outside Qingzhou City.

"Prefect Murong has already been waiting in the city."

Sun Xin nodded, and hurriedly galloped with Wu Song into the city of Qingzhou.

The urban area of ​​Qingzhou City is not big, but the city wall is still relatively tall according to the shape of this era. Sun Xin took a closer look and found that the shortest part of the city wall is also three feet high, and there are divisions between inner and outer cities. No wonder Liangshan depends on Huyan Zhuo had to do the internal response to enter the city. Such a big city may not be able to be defeated just by relying on the more than 3000 soldiers and horses who descended from Liangshan in the original book.

Go straight into the yamen, and the prefect Murong Yanda welcomes him out.

Murong Yanda is a middle-aged man in his forties, with three long beards, and looks like a scholar.

Sun Xin knew that this person was the elder brother of Concubine Zhao Ji and Murong, and it was because of this relationship that he made his way in the officialdom. This guy's official reputation in Qingzhou was extremely bad, his land was quite thick, and he was also a ruthless person. Before Huangmen Mountain During the rebellion, Qin Ming's whole family was decisively killed, and he would not talk about humaneness and etiquette like the civil servants who were promoted through the imperial examination.

But because of this, Murong Yanda's control over the entire Qingzhou City is still quite stable, which is why in the original book, when Liang Shan attacked Qingzhou, Qingzhou would not fall at all before Hu Yanzhuo killed Murong Yanda, and when Murong died, Liang Shan took advantage of the situation The reason for being able to break into Qingzhou.

When Murong Yanda saw Sun Xin, his face was a bit sad.

He introduced Shuangbian Hu Yanzhuo and his lieutenants Han Tao and Peng Qi to Sun Xin. The three officers had already inquired about Sun Xin's identity and knew that he was a popular person in front of Zhao Guan's family today, but they didn't have a good attitude towards Sun Xin. How flattering.

Sun Xin's official status is nothing more than a general. There are already enough flatterers in front of Zhao Ji. Who knows when he will forget this guy, and they are military officers. Sun Xin can't control them at all, and they don't need them. Has a too nice tone for Sun Shin.

The three of Hu Yanzhuo didn't come here specially to meet Sun Xin. After they met Sun Xin, they turned around and said to Murong Yanda: "Please ask the magistrate to allocate food and grass for me as soon as possible. I will send troops to Liangshan soon." .”

Murong Yanda looked a little embarrassed, but still nodded and said: "Preparations are already underway in the state capital."

Han Tao on the side added: "The Xiang army that we need to help transport the luggage, please hurry up and prepare to come."

"More than 1000 people have been recruited."

Hu Yanzhuo shook his head and said, "It takes at least two thousand, and they must arrive at the camp together when the food and grass are ready."

Murong Yanda nodded, her expression became even uglier.

He is also the emperor's brother-in-law, and his relationship is not worse than that of Gao Qiu, but now that Gao Qiu is in favor, he wants to avenge Gao Lian, the prefect of Gaotang Prefecture, so he specially dispatched Hu Yanzhuo to lead the army to fight Liangshan. If he doesn't serve him well, he will definitely Gao Qi will be offended.

The three of Hu Yanzhuo also know that Murong Yanda doesn't like them, but they must put more pressure on the local officials if they want to complete Gao Qiu's mission. It doesn't matter if Murong Yanda likes them or not, as long as they can please Gao Qiu. enough.

After making the request, the three turned around and left. After watching the three go, Murong Yanda turned to look at Sun Xin and said with a smile:

"Sun Zhuangzhu is ugly. I have heard about the reputation of the Zhuangzhu for a long time, and your story is really well written."

Murong Yanda first discussed some novel content with Sun Xin. It turns out that this guy is also a reader of Sun Xin, and he likes time-traveling novels very much. Focus on touting Sun Xin's literary talent.

These words made Sun Xin feel a little better about the prefect of Murong. He knew that this fellow must not be an upright official, but at this moment, at least he didn't look stupid. Even a small landlord like himself could not be offended. No wonder it was able to make Qingzhou look like an iron bucket.

Sun Xin comforted Murong Yan and replied: "Supporting the army is difficult. We can see the local difficulties when we are landlords. Every state and county is the same."

Murong Yanda shook his head, and said worriedly: "Our Qingzhou doesn't have a lot of people, and there are so many bandits here. If you want to take away my more than 2000 rural soldiers, who will defend Qingzhou?"

"Sun Zhuang also knows that there is a Baihu Mountain in the border of Qingzhou, and Kong Liang gathered thousands of people to rob his house. Now that his elder brother Kong Ming was harassing on the road, he was caught and sent to Qingzhou to beheaded. He became more and more hostile to the government. "

"Recently that fellow wrote a letter saying that he would come to our Qingzhou mansion to borrow food. At this time, the army is stationed and he dare not make a mistake, but once the army is deployed, he will definitely come to harass."

Sun Xin nodded. Among the Water Margins, Qingzhou is a den of bandits. There are four big mountains with names and surnames: Qingfeng Mountain, Baihu Mountain, Taohua Mountain, and Erlong Mountain, all of which have a large number of bandits.
