Water Margin: The opening scene involves assassinating Emperor Huizong of Song and forcibly taking L

Yan Qing quickly stopped him,

"Tie Niu, the dice haven't stopped rolling yet,"

"Do not take action for now."

"It's clearly just two points, how could it possibly become...."

Before Li Kui could finish speaking,

Suddenly, the dice in the bowl flipped over.

It went straight to six o'clock upwards.

"How...how could this be?"

Li Kui raised his hand.

He slapped himself hard across the face.

"My mouth..."

"What bad luck!"

"Tie Niu, you've lost again,"

Shi Xiu laughed,

"Five taels of silver per person,"

"Hurry up and pay up!"

Although Li Kui was usually muddle-headed,

But once you get to the gambling table...

They rarely default on their debts.

Seeing that he had lost,

They had no choice but to obediently hand over their money.

But in this way,

He had just borrowed a hundred taels of silver from Zhao Yuan.

But in an instant, more than half of them were gone.

"Come again!"

Black Whirlwind was still unconvinced.

"I don't believe it,"

I can't beat you even once.

The two played another round.

This time, Li Kui rolled a four.

Yan Qing, however, scored five points.

She still has a little more than him.

This time, no one went to watch them play.

Instead, they started gambling on their own.

There are others who play dice games.

There are also games where you can win by tossing coins.

This game of tossing coins is called "calling the word and calling the back".

The game is all about betting on what happens when the copper coins land.

The side with the writing should be facing up.

It should still be facing down.

Both are easy to play.

The outcome of the match is decided very quickly.

Li Kui was quickly defeated by Yan Qing by about ten more rounds.

The silver was borrowed from Zhao Yuan.

They've basically lost everything.

He could only hang his head dejectedly.

"That's fucking wicked,"

"I'm having bad luck today,"

"I'm not betting with you anymore!"

Seeing that Li Kui had stopped playing,

Yan Qing then went to join the fun at the gambling den next door.

However, the others had already witnessed Yan Qing's abilities.

I wouldn't dare play with him anymore.

...

On Liangshan Mountain,

This noise lasted for several days.

The winter solstice passed quickly.

After the winter solstice,

Following Zhao Yuan's orders,

Gambling was banned again on the mountain.

Every day, guards patrolled the area.

Strictly investigate and punish leaders and soldiers who gamble without authorization.

On this day,

Zhao Yuan gathered his generals in the Hall of Righteousness.

"Brothers,"

"Last October I went to Tokyo to meet with Fang La, Wang Qing, and Tian Hu,"

"Now, rebellions have broken out in Hebei, Huaihe River Basin, and Jiangnan."

"We, Liangshan, cannot fall behind them."

"The reason we've gathered here today is to discuss this together,"

"Which city should we capture first?"

Chapter 1566 Sending Troops

As soon as Zhao Yuan finished speaking,

Then Ruan Xiaoer immediately said...

"Our Liangshan has many soldiers and generals,"

"Now that we have occupied Yuncheng,"

"Why not just take over the whole of Jeju Island?"

"Then we'll attack Dongping Prefecture,"

"And then there's Tai'an Prefecture,"

"When we grow big,"

"They're recruiting soldiers,"

"Let's march on Tokyo!"

Liu Tang also spoke up.

"Our Liangshan has fallen behind Wang Qing, Tian Hu, and Fang La,"

"We always have to do something big,"

"And let not the heroes of this world be defeated,"

"They underestimated us!"

Unlike the roughnecks of the Jianghu like Ruan Xiaoer,

A group of leaders who came from the ranks of imperial generals

But neither of them spoke immediately.

After a while,

Huyan Zhuo spoke first.

"Although this court is now corrupt,"

"But there are still many soldiers,"

"If we make too much of a scene,"

"Who knows, the imperial court might then turn its attention to us."

"If you ask me, we're just playing around,"

"Let's coordinate with the other three routes first."

"Once we know which route the imperial court has dispatched a large army to suppress,"

"Let's seize the opportunity and move forward,"

"Only by completely annihilating this imperial army,"

"Only then can our Liangshan forces seize control of the world."

Xu Guanzhong couldn't help but nod.

"General Huyan is right,"

As the saying goes, "Even a centipede with a hundred legs does not fall down when dead."

"At present, it is indeed not advisable for Liangshan to stand out any longer."

"Besides, even if we conquer the city,"

"But it also requires specialized officials to govern it,"

"Our Liangshan now,"

"That's exactly the kind of people we need most."

Wen Huanzhang, however, had a different opinion.

“We have already occupied Yuncheng,”

"In the eyes of the imperial court,"

"They've long been a thorn in my side, a thorn in my flesh."

"Leaving aside other matters, even just the various prefectures of Shandong,"

"If we can occupy it,"

"In the future, we will have more resources to fight against the imperial court."

Seeing that Xu Guanzhong and Wen Huanzhang had different opinions,

Zhao Yuan frowned.

He said in a deep voice,
