Chapter 785: Counterattack

Distributing land was actually quite troublesome. The local villagers gave Bai Lang the feeling that they were all cunning people, but fortunately, he didn't have any expectations in the first place, so he could be calm. Shi Yi, along with Shi Xiao and those village elders, spent this month arguing everywhere, and finally managed to distribute the land. "Not enough cadres." Bai Lang stood on the dry bank and saw it clearly, "All selfish thoughts."

But in a feudal dynasty, this kind of thing was normal.

Shi Yi himself was not someone who dared to call for the sun and moon to change the sky. In the five thousand years of history, only two such people had appeared. In Bai Lang's view, Shi Yi was not as good as Taizong, and naturally not as good as the beggar, at most equivalent to the Dianqian Dudianjian. This was already much stronger than all the emperors after the car god. Thinking about it, starting as a Jiedushi, he should be able to win the world in the end. Bai Lang was a person who had been an emperor, and he had this vision.

After the land distribution was completed, this could be considered a rebellion, and it was the kind of serious rebellion—the Great Song court was actually not afraid of wandering, at most they would surround and intercept. Such people rebelling had no foundation, as long as the encirclement was appropriate and there was no natural disaster, it would not spread for thousands of miles. But a rebel force that established written laws, distributed land, and sat as bandits, had to be pressed to death at once, otherwise, it would be trouble as soon as it grew slightly.

Unexpectedly, after the Heavenly King Chao raised the flag of acting on behalf of heaven, this Shi Yi was the first to rebel—Liangshan Marsh was still just "bandits" and not a rebellion, and they hadn't openly shouted to attack the Capital and seize the bird throne. Other heroes nearby also joined Shi Yi, but among these heroes, there were many bandits who killed and robbed, and instead, they were executed by Shi Yi. He was actually in the appearance of an orthodox government, which showed what kind of bird the Great Song government was.

The rest of the heroes were almost all assigned to the work of scouting information. Shi Yi would rather give them money than let these people enter the system of his current village soldiers. Bai Lang felt that this was the story of a mouse dropping, and the ability of these people to scout information was not bad—if the money was given readily, the moral ethics of these people were not bad, after all, they were the ones with relatively high moral standards among the heroes.

The Shandong heroes led by Song Jiang failed to attack Zengtou City twice, and not only failed to break into Zengtou City, but were also attacked by troops transferred from Hebei Ming Dynasty Prefecture. It was said that the general of the government army was called Guan Sheng. Now the victory or defeat was unknown, and the situation in the court was that the relationship with the Liao Dynasty was deteriorating rapidly, as if they were about to go to war. And it was said that the troops of Wang Zhi, the Huainan Jiedushi, would be transferred to suppress the rebellion—this person was also a predecessor who killed and set fires and accepted amnesty.

Shi Yi didn't think about attacking the prefecture for the time being. What he had to do now was to arrange for farming, otherwise, he could only be a wandering bandit. After that, he would attack the surrounding county government, and finally consider big cities like Jiangzhou Prefecture. After capturing Jiangzhou Prefecture, he could start to speed up his pace. Before that, he had to accumulate a wave, and the personnel had to be well-trained. Don't think about expanding the army for now, there were only tens of thousands of people under his rule, and having two thousand elite soldiers was already very remarkable.

Rebellion was a matter that required technical content. If it wasn't handled well, it would become a wandering bandit in minutes. Of course, maybe it could succeed in the end. But now it seemed that it was not the best time to stand out. Shi Yi also felt that he had to fight a few more battles at least, and then let others have an uprising that swept the south of the Yangtze River or swept Shandong, and then he could fish in troubled waters. "Dare not be the first in the world!" Bai Lang laughed. Shi Yi said, "Seeing that the Demon Cult Fang La is about to rebel, why should I stand out?"

Wang Zhi's army of ten thousand was transferred from Huainan, and it would take at least half a month to walk. Shi Yi and Bai Lang didn't care, but Dai Zong ran over first to ask for help. "You said Zengtou City hasn't been taken yet? You want me or Shi Dalang to go? But we also have the threat of Wang Zhi, the Huainan Jiedushi. We really can't go. Let Song Gongming, Military Advisor Wu, and Military Advisor Zhu think of a way themselves—besides, didn't you accept the surrender of Great Saber Guan Sheng? Could it be that this person is not the opponent of the Five Tigers of Zengtou and the two instructors?"

The scene of Bai Lang fighting the seven people of Zengtou City alone was too fierce. Now Liangshan was afraid that several people would have to come out together, but Zengtou City's defense was solid, and it couldn't be taken down for a while. Especially that Shi Wengong, don't look at him like a baby in front of Bai Lang, but in front of other Liangshan heroes, he was a fierce general, and even that Great Saber Guan Sheng couldn't defeat this person. Now Dai Zong couldn't ask for reinforcements, and when he returned to Liangshan and said that Shi Yi had rebelled, everyone was shocked.

Quite a few people shouted that they wanted to follow Shi Dalang to rebel, kill to the Capital, and seize the bird throne, but Song Jiang said it was not feasible, and it was better to fight Zengtou City first, otherwise Liangshan would have no face, and people's hearts would be scattered. And Wu Yong talked about the matter of Jade Qilin Lu Junyi, and everyone also calculated how to let Lu Junyi join the mountain...

Not to mention how Wu Yong used a poisonous plan to trick Lu Junyi into joining the mountain, just say that Wang Zhi led eight thousand horse and foot troops and had arrived in Jiangzhou, used the grain and grass in Jiangzhou Prefecture to replenish, and directly started to discuss with Cai Zhifu of Jiangzhou how to suppress Shi Yi's rebellion, "Naturally, it is a ten-sided encirclement, and all the thieves will be eliminated!" Wang Zhi said. Cai Zhifu was not the kind of incompetent official, and during this time he had sent many spies and even used the heroes who defected to Shi Yi to scout information, and collected a lot of information about Shi Yi's army.

He naturally told Wang Zhi everything, so Wang Zhi decided on this ten-sided encirclement plan. "No matter how many ways they come, we just divide the troops." The scout reported that Wang Zhi's army was divided into two routes, claiming to be ten routes, and they were three thousand and five thousand troops respectively. Bai Lang said, "We have two thousand troops. Shi Dalang, you take one thousand to fight those three thousand, I will lead five hundred to fight Wang Zhi, and Hu Sanniang will just take five hundred to guard the camp."

Of course, they had to take the initiative, otherwise, would they sit and wait for death? The two had already calculated, and they quickly mustered troops to fight. Bai Lang's five hundred troops marched rapidly, and one day later, they had blocked Wang Zhi's army's road and lined up. Bai Lang's subordinates were all infantry, and Wang Zhi on the opposite side had more than a hundred cavalry, and the rest were infantry. Bai Lang himself was riding on a horse—it was a pity that there was no good horse, so he could only use the war horse that had been following him to make up the number.

This horse was no longer suitable for a military horse in terms of teeth, but it could still be used for many years just for riding. Bai Lang saw that these troops didn't even set up a camp, and directly beat the drums and launched an attack on him. Bai Lang also laughed, touching his beard and laughing, "I was worried that it would be troublesome if they set up a camp!" He looked at the soldiers behind him, and saw that these people were already pale, but they were still gritting their teeth and had not scattered.

"It seems that land distribution is still useful." Before, it had been preached that if the government army occupied the place again, people like them who had distributed land would be afraid of losing the newly acquired land, and maybe they would be borrowed heads to claim military merit. So these soldiers could be considered to be able to persist, and Bai Lang roared like a tiger and took the lead to spur his horse to charge, directly killing towards Wang Zhi's army. ===== CHAPTER 786 =====
