Chapter 327 Aiming at Pei Gong
"What is the origin of this scholar in white?"
As the saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy.
Even the bandit leader knows this truth.
So Yan Shun found the two brothers to discuss and wanted to find out about this person.
Zheng Tianshou and Wang Ying looked at each other when they heard this.
But Zheng Tianshou thought for a moment and whispered: "When I was doing business, I heard people say that there was a group of strong bandits in Liangshan Water Margin, and the leader was called a scholar in white. I think it was this person."
"Liangshanpo?"
Yan Shun muttered these three words, but he had no clue.
Little did he know that the plot of Water Margin had many deviations due to Lin Chen's intervention.
For example, Song Jiang, Zhu Tong, the three brothers of the Ruan family, etc. all served in the army and had nothing to do with the Green Forest.
Therefore, the original leaders of Liangshanpo were still the scholars in white, Wang Lun, Du Qian and Song Wan.
What's more interesting is that
Lin Chen had never heard of a coach of the imperial army named Lin Chong, who was sent to prison for mistakenly entering the White Tiger Hall.
In the current Li Tang Dynasty, such a thing of reversing right and wrong would not happen.
I think this tragic man in the original book is living well in this world.
Not long ago, the birthday gift incident happened, and Chao Gai and his gang went to Liangshanpo.
Judging from the situation, Chao Gai may soon fight with Wang Lun and seize Liangshanpo.
Lin Chen thought Wang Lun would not mind using his name.
Outside Qingzhou City.
Due to the banditry, the people's livelihood in the city has been declining, and ordinary people have long abandoned the city and fled.
Now, most of the people in the city are bandits gathered here.
In order to show his respect for the power of the white-clothed scholars, Zhu Wu persuaded Li Zhong to come to meet him.
After Zhu Wu told a lot of stories about respecting the wise and humble, Li Zhong was fooled.
"The leader of the village is here!"
The little tyrant Zhou Tong looked at the large group of people coming along the official road.
The leader was a hundred or so cavalrymen, wearing armor, holding swords, guns, sticks and clubs, with an extraordinary posture.
Not only that.
The rest of the bandits can also be assigned a piece of leather armor to wear.
This made Li Zhong and other bandit leaders gasp.
Take the most powerful Taohua Mountain as an example.
They robbed the Qingzhou arsenal and only gathered a few thousand pieces of leather armor and five hundred pieces of iron armor.
I didn't expect that everyone in this Liangshan group could wear armor.
You should know that in ancient times, the difference between wearing armor and not wearing armor was huge.
Don't look at the records in ancient times, saying that they led a million troops to go to war.
In fact, only tens of thousands of armored soldiers in the army can really fight.
Seeing this, the bandit leaders had different expressions, and no one knew what they were thinking.
"Is that Wang Lun?"
Li Zhong saw a figure and said in astonishment.
See!
Riding a red horse, wearing a scholar's white robe, with a handsome face like a person in a painting, and a calm and elegant temperament.
This temperament alone made many leaders who came from mountain bandits feel ashamed and felt inferior.
Zhu Wu swallowed his saliva and looked at the fan he was holding to show off.
Alas, they are dwarfed!
"Sir, are these the leaders of the Qingzhou bandits?"
The iron-faced Pei Xuan stood beside Lin Chen on horseback and asked in a low voice.
Lin Chen nodded slightly, his eyes fell on Li Zhong and his party.
This time.
Lin Chen disguised himself as Liangshan people and came to Qingzhou to gather with several heroes who were previously recruited by Song Jiang.
In addition to Yinmachuan, the original group of Yingshan, and the two thousand elite cavalry of Yulin Guards disguised as infiltrates.
As for why Lin Chen spent so much effort to infiltrate Qingzhou?
That was naturally because, in the territory of Qingzhou, his identity as a general of Yulin was not easy to play.
Qingzhou is the fief of Qi.
The Yulin Guard represents the imperial court. If they rashly enter Qi, they will probably arouse the vigilance of Qi Wang Chai Rong.
Therefore, Lin Chen plans to blend into the Qingzhou bandits and see how Qi Wang reacts.
Li Zhong is the nominal leader of the Qingzhou bandits, so he naturally has to act like a leader.
He wears a military general's armor and dresses like a general in a play, which is quite funny.
But in his own opinion, it may be quite impressive and complacent.
The remaining bandit leaders, I don't know which merchant's house they found silk and satin, and they changed it and wore it on their bodies.
From a distance, I thought it was a troupe of opera.
Lin Chen was amused and embarrassed, but he rode forward and bowed, saying: "I am Wang Lun of Liangshan, and I have come to join the great leader Li."
Li Zhong couldn't help but smile when he heard this.
With his past identity as a bandit in Taohua Mountain, who would take him seriously?
Now the white-clothed scholar of Liangshanbo mentioned him with admiration, how could Li Zhong not be happy?
"No, no, I have heard that Liangshanbo has a white-clothed scholar. I met him today and realized that you are extraordinary."
Li Zhong also flattered him.
He just vaguely remembered it.
When the green forest talked about this white-clothed scholar Wang Lun, they only said that this person was narrow-minded.
However, everyone carried a flowery sedan chair, and Li Zhong was also happy to brag with Lin Chen at this time.
After a round of greetings.
Lin Chen introduced the leader of his side.
The three people of Yinmachuan bowed their hands.
As for Guo Sheng and Lu Fang of Yingshan, they looked down on the group in front of them.
After all, these two young people are arrogant.
They met Lin Chen when they just debuted and were taken in by him.
This made Yan Shun and the other three feel resentful and angry, thinking where did these two young men come from and they had never heard of their names.
It was only because of Li Zhong's face that he didn't get angry.
Wait until the introduction is finished.
Li Zhong then arranged for Lin Chen's troops to enter the city.
"Brother Wang, when I learned that you were coming, I specially held a banquet in the government office. I must honor you." Li Zhong said with a smile.
Lin Chen happily accepted and said he would come to the banquet after settling in.
"Sir, is this banditry in Qingzhou so serious?"
After the iron-faced Pei Xuan joined Lin Chen's staff, he immediately changed his mind and put himself on the court's side.
When he entered the city, he also noticed the fifty or sixty thousand bandits in the city.
Although it is a mob, it is enough to bluff people.
Besides, there are only 6,000 people on our side.
Among them, there were only two thousand regular troops of the imperial court, and the rest were all bandits, and their combat effectiveness was worrying.
Lin Chen glanced at Pei Xuan and laughed in his heart.
Perhaps in his opinion, he entered the city in disguise to conduct a sneak attack.
"Pei Kongmu, do you know who governs Qingzhou?"
Pei Xuan was startled when he heard this, and immediately reacted: "I heard that the current magistrate of Qingzhou...is the seat of King Qi!"
As expected of a smart man who had been an official before, Lin Chen didn't need any more reminders.
Pei Xuan also knew that the world in Li Tang seemed peaceful, but in fact there was an undercurrent.
"Is it possible...?"
Pei Xuan was shocked.
Could it be that he, the leader, led his army to Shandong not just for banditry?
As the saying goes, Xiangzhuang's sword dance is intended for Pei Gong!
Is this King of Qi the Duke of Pei?
Lin Chen looked at Pei Xuan who was thoughtful, with an inexplicable smile in his eyes.
That night.
The original Qingzhou government office was occupied by bandits and became a banquet venue.
Lin Chen received Li Zhong's invitation and naturally accepted the invitation.
