Just after noon, sweat had soaked Zheng Zhi's clothes inside his iron armor. Thousands of soldiers followed Zheng Zhi in the shade and started having lunch.

Zheng Zhi was a little anxious. From time to time, he stood up and looked into the path, hoping to see the scout at the end of the path. The marching for a morning was not fast, and the Liangshan Village was not far away. He would definitely reach the foot of the village within an hour in the afternoon. Song Jiang and Wu Yong were not a good person to meet, and there was no Liangshan people. Zheng Zhi couldn't help but feel anxious.

On the other side of Dongshan Road, thousands of soldiers under Peng Qi were also burying pots to make rice. After the meal, he went to Liangshan. At this time, he was full and had the strength to fight later.

Peng Qi was even more proud, and knew that he had predicted the ability of the Liangshan people and had lived the mountain path so easily that he knew that these Liangshan bandits were just like that.

The personal soldiers sent the meal respectfully to Peng Qi. Peng Qi took the meal and spoke to the left and right generals and smiled: "If the bandits in Liangshan have some courage, how could we get here so easily? The bandits are bandits after all."

A general of the army was active and smiled and said, "The general is valued by the Grand Marshal this time, and he will definitely be promoted. If the general gets a power in Tokyo, you must not forget your brothers!"

"Don't worry... let's go..." Peng Qi said halfway.

In an instant, the mountains and forests were shaking flags and shouting, and countless soldiers rushed down in the scorching sun.

The food in Peng Qi's hand fell to the ground immediately, and he quickly stood up and pulled out his waist knife and shouted: "Welcome to the enemy, welcome the enemy!"

Countless military men took up their weapons to meet the enemy left and right, but they were greeted with a rain of arrows. Although the arrows did not have much accuracy, they covered the sky and the sun, and instantly shot down.

Even Peng Qi retreated to a tree to hide.

The arrows were raining and the whole field was wailing. A man with iron armor rushed out of the forest and shouted: "Where is the dog thief Peng Qi? Don't be that turtle shrank, come out quickly and fight with grandpa for a few rounds!"

This man's hand was a strong bow, and he opened his bow and shot the arrows quickly, and he shot them angrily, and every arrow was shot with one person to the end. It was Li Li Guanghua Rong.

Looking at the man running out with Hua Rong, there was no place where Peng Qi thought that the clothes were lavenders. Everyone had armor. Although the armor looked a bit weird and the workmanship was rough, it also seemed to be a lot of elites.

The whole place was shouting and killing, and the sky and earth were shaking. The two sides of the mountain road were crowded with people. There were so many people and horses, so where could I count them?

Peng Qi was not calm at this time. After several times, he finally took the knife toward Hua Rong. The two were only thirty or forty steps apart, so he could not hear Hua Rong shouting like this. Even Peng Qi knew that Hua Rong was the enemy general, and the situation was like this. Only by killing Hua Rong first could he have a chance of winning.

"Peng Qi is here, which little thief shouts!"

Hua Rong is good at using bows, but his skills in the guns and sticks under his hands are also good. He looked for Peng Qi not far away and rushed straight.

When the two fought in the first day of the New Year, Peng Qi would not be the opponent. After a few rounds, they retreated one after another.

The soldiers of Liangshan were also really brave. It was obvious that Song Jiang's training in the past few months had played a big role, and it also broke the morale of Gaotang Prefecture.

At this time, Liangshan was 8,000 people and powerful, and there were many ambush attacks. The battle situation quickly turned to the side.

After a while, the military soldiers under Peng Qi were already resisting, and more people were fleeing. The battle between the two sides was mostly surrounded by Liangshan soldiers.

Hua Rong and Peng Qi fought for more than ten rounds, and Peng Qi was swept to the ground by Hua Rong's spear. Originally, this battle was Hua Rong against Peng Qi, and Peng Qi could not even take Hua Rong's twenty moves.

Peng Qi fell to the ground, but Hua Rong could not let him go. He spears rushed out and wanted to assassinate Peng Qi on the ground on the spot.

Peng Qi on the ground was thrown to death. When he came to his senses, he saw Hua Rong stabbing his spear, and there was no room for escape. He quickly shouted: "Good man, please spare me!"

After a word, Hua Rong really stopped quickly, stood in front of Peng Qi, slammed the gun again, and said, "Tie this guy."

Looking at the battle situation again, the situation in Liangshan was already unstoppable. Many officers and soldiers all over the mountains escaped, but the casualties were even worse, and many people even kneeled down to surrender.

Peng Qi's soldiers were far inferior to the soldiers of Liangshan. Most of the men of Liangshan had seen veteran soldiers in the battle formation at this time, so how could Peng Qi compare with him?

It was almost evening when the defeated soldiers fled back to the camp. Hu Yanzhuo was shocked after seeing this, and asked a few questions, and hurried to the big tent.

In the big tent, Gao Qiu and Cao Zheng had been talking for more than two hours, but they still talked about it without any fun.

Hu Yanzhuo didn't care about these things at this time, so he ran directly into the tent and said, "Taiwei, the war ahead is not good."

Seeing someone coming in, Cao Zheng quickly got up and carried it over, but he didn't want the person to see his face clearly.

Gao Qiu was shocked when he heard the words, and quickly stood up and asked, "How is it not good?"

"Report to the Grand Marshal, Peng Qi was ambushed by Liangshan, was defeated and captured, thousands of soldiers were defeated, and hundreds of remaining soldiers fled back, and no military officer came back." Hu Yanzhuo replied.

"It's outrageous. Why is Peng Qi so unbearable? He is still talking big in front of him. Why is he defeated so much in one day?" Gao Qiu was furious, and he still had the look of Peng Qi's determination before he set off. He never thought that this situation would be the case in just one day.

Hu Yanzhuo stood on the spot, so naturally he couldn't accept Gao Qiu's words, and he felt guilty in his heart. After all, Peng Qi recommended him so quickly and so thoroughly, how could he dare to say more, the person who recommended him.

Gao Qiu asked angrily, "How about Zheng Zhi?"

"Report to the Grand Marshal, there is no news from Zheng Zhi. At this time, he should have arrived at the Liangshan bandits' village." Hu Yanzhuo replied.

Gao Qiu heard Hu Yanzhuo say that Zheng Zhi is fine, and he became even more angry for no reason. It seemed that the outcome of the battle was not as important as Zheng Zhi's life alone. He just said: "Why did Peng Qi be ambushed, but Zheng Zhi has nothing to do?"

Hu Yanzhuo was speechless when asked. Zheng Zhi was safe and sound. In Hu Yanzhuo's opinion, it was a good thing, but he didn't understand why Gao Qiu asked this.

Cao Zheng, who was facing away from Hu Yanzhuo, heard Gao Qiu's question and couldn't help but speak: "Taiwei, Zheng Zhi let the Liangshan bandits be released repeatedly in Cangzhou. This time, General Peng's defeat must be a fraud. Zheng Zhi must be unable to escape. Perhaps it was Zheng Zhi and Liangshan bandits who cooperated with each other, so that General Peng would be defeated in this way."

Hu Yanzhuo was anxious in front of his head, and did not care much about the person who was facing away from him. At this time, he was shocked when he heard the man's words. How could Mr. Zheng make peace with the great thief to defeat the official army?

Gao Qiu was angry, but heard Cao Zheng reminding him and said, "It must be so. Zheng Zhigou is so brave. How dare he be so crazy, hum..."

Gao Qiu sneered, and Hu Yanzhuo also felt cold. He couldn't see the joints clearly, but he could feel that this battle was no longer as simple as marching and fighting to suppress thieves. In the heart of Taiwei Gao, perhaps the officialdom was more important. After missing this, Hu Yanzhuo couldn't help but feel a little cold.

Zheng Zhi was already on the way back to the camp at this time. Although he arrived at the foot of Liangshan and saw the high wall, it was a small path. Without equipment, it was impossible to attack with force. Even if there were equipment, Zheng Zhi did not want to attack.

The sunset in the evening and the afterglow is still there.

Zheng Zhi led his troops back to the camp, but he still saw many destitute soldiers. He also had speculations in his mind and headed straight to the tent.

Cao Zheng had already left, Hu Yanzhuo sat on the side of the big tent, and Gao Qiu didn't say a word.

Zheng Zhi came in and did not talk to Gao Qiu. He asked, "General Huyan, where is Peng Qi? Did he meet a bandit?"

Hu Yanzhuo glanced at Gao Qiu with a cold face and turned to Zheng Zhi and said, "Zheng Gong, Peng Qi encountered tens of thousands of bandits ambushed and was captured by the bandits."

Zheng Zhi heard the words and sneered: "Hmph... Zhao Kuo even beat the vanguard. General Hu Yan's good generals are not available, which is ridiculous!"

Gao Qiu didn't know that Zheng Zhi was talking about himself, and said, "If this battle is defeated, I would like to explain to the officials. Some people are afraid that some people will suffer."

Gao Qiu obviously knew that there was no need to confront Zheng Zhi again, and it was difficult to grasp Zheng Zhi at this time, but he was also angry and just waited for him to collect evidence and report to Tokyo. After being confident, he could calm down a lot. Even if Zheng Zhi was arrogant in front of him, he would only take it as a joke.

Cao Zheng reported in detail that some things were difficult to verify, and some things were easy to obtain. For example, Zheng Zhi led his troops out of Cangzhou to Dulonggang, Zheng Zhi also commanded two thousand thieves in the mountains to fight, and Zheng Zhi privately killed two heads of Yanshan. The witness was even simpler, that is, the original Yanshan magistrate, who, as long as Gao Qiu wrote a letter, he would definitely be able to testify in Tokyo.

"Gao Taiwei has a high position and power, so it's natural that it's a big thief in Shandong who ravaged the prefectures. The Taiwei did not solve the problems of the officials or make decisions for the people. It turns out that this is the real pillar of the court. Tong Guan, the truth is far away." Zheng Zhi was also unwilling to give up his words, and he was thinking for a long time. How to kill Gao Qiu?

Huarong is the key point.

Hu Yanzhuo was most reluctant to see such a situation. Gao Qiu and Zheng Zhi confronted each other, and Hu Yanzhuo was silent. At this time, the battle had begun. Hu Yanzhuo wanted to win in his heart, but he didn't want to be so frustrated and returned home. He had to go forward and speak, "Taiwei Gao, Zheng Xianggong, now the battle has begun, how can he fail first? For the current plan, the army will be dispatched tomorrow, and when he gets under the bandits in Liangshan, transport all the weapons and attack them forcibly, he can win. I wonder what the two Shangguans think."

Zheng Zhi naturally knew this truth. Liangshan had food at the waters, and it would be useless to surround him for a long time. If he wanted to break Liangshan, one was to build a ship, and the other was to attack him. However, this was also a bad strategy. At the foot of the mountains and forests, the formation could not be dispelled at all, and the military could not be dispelled. The strong attack was really helpless.

"General Hu Yan, this battle is difficult to overcome, and it is feasible to build a ship!" Zheng Zhi said concisely and was too lazy to explain.

"How dare those who are greedy for life and fear of death, and they dare to quarrel with the people and worry about the difficulties. They will attack them tomorrow and defeat them in one battle!" Gao Qiu heard Hu Yanzhuo's words, and obviously he was unwilling to agree with Zheng Zhi's words, and Gao Qiu did not understand the battle formation.

Hu Yanzhuo actually knew the difficulties of this battle, and he was helpless and said this. He didn't want to retreat like this. He nodded to Gao Qiu and said, "I will take my leave first and prepare for tomorrow's strong attack."

Hu Yanzhuo surrendered early, so he naturally didn't want to watch the two Shangguans confront each other again.

Zheng Zhi heard the words and turned around and left the big tent first.

Tonight, there were constant banquets in Liangshan. Hua Rong returned with great victory and captured the Tianmu general Peng Qi. Song Jiang's face was even more radiant. At this time, Liangshan's morale had reached its peak.

Look at Peng Qi again and kneels in front of Juyi Hall.

Song Jiang personally untied him and served him with wine without waiting for Song Jiang to say more.
