In Damingfu City, Shi Wengong, Wang Jin, Wu Yong and other brothers were sitting in the hall happily discussing.
Li Tianrun had sent someone back to inform everyone in advance that Wang Qing had been captured and more than 100,000 Chu troops were captured.
This news made Shi Wengong let out a long breath and said happily, "Although this battle was tragic, the final result was still good."
Wu Yong nodded, "Now that Wang Qing has been captured and one of the three armies launched by the imperial court has gone, it can be said that the initiative has returned to my hands in Liangshan.
Next, we have a very wide choice, that is, we can send troops from Daming Mansion to attack Tokyo directly, we can go west to assist brother Lu Junyi, or we can divide our troops and attack at the same time.
In short, we are getting closer and closer to victory from now on."
Everyone was chatting in the hall when Li Tianrun, Wu Yanguang and others walked in.
"Brother Shi, the younger brothers have fulfilled their mission and successfully defeated the Chu army and captured Wang Qing," Li Tianrun shouted loudly as soon as he entered the door.
"Haha, these brothers worked hard and this battle was beautiful."
Shi Wengong stood up with the brothers and said happily.
After everyone said hello to each other and sat down again, Shi Wengong asked, "Brother, please tell me what happened in detail, so that all brothers can have fun."
Li Tianrun also felt happy, so he told in detail how he divided his troops, how they fought fiercely, how Wu Yanguang arrived at the critical moment, and finally Wu Li met Mi Sheng.
After Li Tianrun finished speaking, Wu Yanguang also told what happened.
When everyone heard that two brothers, Chu Mingyu and Cao Mingji, had been killed again, their original excitement dropped.
Four brothers had been killed in the battle with Wang Qing, which had never happened since Lin Chong went to Liangshan.
Shi Wengong did not mention these sad things again, and said to Li Tianrun, "Brother said that Wang Qing was captured by his men and sent here."
"Exactly" Li Tianrun replied happily.
Shi Wengong looked at Wu Yong, who nodded and said, "It seems that Wang Qing has become somewhat unpopular in the army.
It may be related to his insistence on forcibly attacking Daming Mansion."
Shi Wengong agreed very much with Wu Yong's statement.
He nodded and shouted to the door, "Invite that Mi Sheng in."
After a while, Mi Sheng walked in.
He clasped his fists at Shi Wengong with a calm expression and said, "Mi Sheng has met all the heroes."
Seeing that Mi Sheng's expression was as usual and his words were neither humble nor arrogant, Shi Wengong nodded secretly in his heart.
"I heard that General Su planned to exchange Wang Qing and others for the previously captured Du Bo and Feng Tai.
Is this possible?"
Shi Wengong looked at Mi Sheng and asked.
"It's true," Mi Sheng replied.
Shi Wengong nodded, "Du Bo and Feng Tai are indeed in Daming Mansion, but I can't make the decision on this matter.
I have to wait for Master Lin to come back and make the decision himself."
But I can assure you that Du Bo and Fengtai will be safe and sound before Master Lin comes back, and if you are willing, I can arrange for you to meet."
"It should be so.
Thank you Mi Sheng."
Mi Sheng knew that Shi Wengong couldn't make a decision in private, so he didn't feel any surprise.
Shi Wengong ordered people to arrange Mi Sheng and others, and then asked Wu Yong, "I wonder what happened to Brother Lin and Brother Lu Junyi?"
Before Wang Qing arrived at Daming Mansion, the imperial court appointed Zhong Shidao as commander-in-chief and led an army of 200,000 to attack Jinning, Gaizhou, Lingchuan and other places.
In Xixia, General Weiming Ali led 150,000 Xixia troops to attack Fenzhou.
Originally guarding Fenzhou was Tian Hu's old general Chen Xuan, with only 2,000 troops.
But as soon as Lu Junyi received the news, he asked Guan Sheng, Sun An, Wu Neng, Xu Jin, Huaiying, and Shentu Li to lead an army of 50,000 to reinforce.
At the same time, he also handed over the Xixia prisoner Chage sent by Lin Chong to Guan Sheng, and kept it as a sacrificial flag when the Xixia army attacked the city.
Jinning and Hua Rong stood at the top of the city and looked at the Western Army camp not far from the city.
In this crusade against Liangshan, Zhong Shidao divided an army of 200,000 into two groups.
He himself led an army of 130,000 to attack Jinning, and asked General Zhe Keshi to lead 70,000 to attack Lingchuan.
"The Western Army has been here for a few days.
Except for sending troops to attack the city once on the first day, there has been no movement in the past few days.

I wonder what conspiracy is brewing," Hua Rong said to Suo Chao and Shan Shiqi beside him.
"In my opinion, the Western Army is just a bunch of people who have gained a false reputation.
They have guarded the border and fought against Xixia countless times for so many years.
They always lost more than they won.
On the other hand, the two brothers Guan Sheng and Sun An defeated two states and nine counties in just one battle.
Destroy them all, and it will be clear which one is higher and which one is lower," Suo Chao replied to Hua Rong.
"That's right, since the Western Army is on hold, why don't we go out of the city tomorrow to test it out.
It will be clear if there is any conspiracy," Shan Shiqi said in agreement.
Hua Rong thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, tomorrow we will go to the Western Army camp to call the formation and see what tricks they are playing."
The next day, Hua Rong led Suo Chao, Jiu Tongmei, Yuan Jingda, Shan Jinglong, Fan Yuming and 20,000 troops to challenge.
Shan Shiqi and Gu Kai were left behind, while Duan Ren guarded the city and was responsible for responding.
In front of the Western Army camp, the Liangshan army formed a formation.
Suo Chao, carrying a big ax and riding a horse, came to the camp gate and shouted, "People in the camp, listen, your grandpa Suo Chao is here, who dares to come out and fight to the death?"
Seeing Suo Chao calling for formation, the soldiers guarding the camp did not panic.
They used their strong bows and crossbows to shoot at the formation's feet.
They did not reply and just looked at Suo Chao quietly.
Suo Chao waited for a while but no one came out, so he started to yell and curse again, and the curse became more and more unpleasant.
At this time, there was an elder sitting in the big tent.
He was about fifty years old.
His hair was already a little gray and his beard was also mixed with some white.
He was sitting there holding a military book in his hand and reading it with gusto.
At the bottom, a man who looked slightly younger but somewhat similar to the elder was looking at him angrily.
The elder at the top is Zhong Shidao, the commander-in-chief of the Western Army, and the younger man below is Zhong Shidao's younger brother Zhong Shizhong.
The Chung family has talents in all disciplines Seeing that his brother didn't express anything, Master Zhong suddenly stood up and walked out.
"Stop, where are you going?"
Zhong Shidao's voice was quiet but full of majesty.
"I can't help it anymore.
I want to fight to the death with that bandit."
Although Master Zhong was furious, he still stopped in his tracks.
"So what if we win?"
Zhong Shidao asked again.
"If you win, you win, what else can you do?"
Master Zhong replied impatiently.
"You must know that Liangshan has only one hundred and eight leaders who have arranged their seats.
Later, many Tian Hu and Liao generals were recruited and surrendered.
How many of these people can you kill by yourself?"
Master Zhong said with a look.
Ling Li asked.
"Hmph, count as many as you can kill, it's better than sitting here and being a coward."
Zhongshizhong glanced at Zhongshidao after finishing speaking.
"Absurd" Zhong Shidao heard what Zhong Shizhong said and threw the military book in his hand on the low table
