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

Everyone felt that it was a disgrace.

Besides, even if an alliance is formed,

It only owns Hedong Road.

Daliang already has seven routes: Jingdong, Hebei, Jingxi, Shaanxi, Gansu, Qinghai, and Ningxia.

Not to mention that the troops of the Great Liang were incomparable to Tian Hu's rabble.

Firearms were also available to assist.

anyway,

They were no match for the Great Liang.

Since they couldn't win,

Then become one of them.

Chapter 1662 Tian Hu

"Our people sincerely submit,"

"I dare not ask for anything; everything is up to the court to decide."

Zhao Yuan nodded and said, "That's good."

“The generals of the Western Army did not rely on hereditary succession, and most of them were generals for generations.”

"You have family-inherited martial arts and military strategies,"

"This is already a much higher starting point than that of ordinary soldiers,"

"If it weren't for the unworthy descendants, they could have been generals for generations."

Zhe Kecun nodded and said, "King Liang's lesson is correct."

"Actually, everyone in my clan started as a soldier,"

"Promoted based on martial arts skills and military merits,"

"Otherwise, we cannot unite the soldiers."

Zhao Yuan stopped there, and then asked,

What is the current situation in Hedong?

Zhe Kecun reported, "Tian Hu of Hedong took advantage of the fall of the Song Dynasty,"

“The states are isolated and helpless,”

"They've already occupied Taiyuan Prefecture,"

"They are continuing their military campaign northward, intending to seize Hedong Road."

“A few days ago, they even sent someone to persuade my brother,”

"They want us to submit to them,"

“My brother killed the henchmen he sent.”

Zhe Keqiu is also a decisive person.

After deciding to submit to the Great Liang,

He stopped thinking about it.

However, his allegiance was selective.

Tian Hu was nothing more than a local bandit.

They actually dared to send people to persuade them to surrender.

Although he was offered high-ranking official positions and generous salaries.

However, Zhe Keqiu was still furious.

He immediately ordered his men to execute the messenger sent by Tian Hu.

The remaining two henchmen were driven back.

Zhao Yuan nodded and said, "Tian Hu is a menace to the region."

"When I return, I will send troops to destroy him."

"You must firmly defend the three prefectures of Lin, Fu, and Feng,"

"So that the people under his rule will not be harmed by him."

Zhe Kecun said, "The Volcano Army and the Baode Army have both submitted to the Great Liang."

"However, the Second Army was short of troops, so they asked us for help."

"The road east of the river has been blocked by Tian Hu again,"

"After General Lu conquered the Yinxia region,"

"My elder brother then sent troops to bypass the Western Xia and take the Fuyan Road,"

"I have reported this to the imperial court."

"However, we have not yet received a reply from the imperial court."

Zhao Yuan said, "If you have the spare capacity, then send troops to assist the two armies in their defense."

"The Zhong family has already produced two generals,"

"Give it a try,"

"He might not be unable to become the General of Hedong."

Hearing King Liang's words of encouragement, Zhe Kecun hurriedly said,

"We will certainly repay this with our lives."

.....

Zhao Yuan and his entourage stayed in Xia Prefecture for a day.

They then followed the Wuding River into Shaanxi Road.

Then we crossed Jingxi Road towards Tokyo.

After entering Shaanxi Road,

Every time we passed a village,

There will surely be people lining the streets to see them off.

Many people even traveled dozens of miles to come.

Witness the divine descent of the Liang King and the elite troops who wiped out the Western Xia.

When the army entered Yan'an Prefecture,

News came from Hedong

The army that was sent to attack Tian Hu was blocked in Xiangyuan, Longde Prefecture.

After news of Zhao Yuan's annihilation of Western Xia reached Tokyo,

The generals, who had been resting in Tokyo, began to seek battle.

In addition, after Tian Hu occupied Hedong,

In order to raise military provisions,

This has significantly increased the prices of salt and coal.

This caused everyone in Daliang to lose patience.

Therefore, Chao Gai ordered Han Cunbao, Guan Sheng, Hua Rong, Shi Wengong, and Qin Ming to lead 50,000 men to attack Tian Hu.

The army, led by the Prince of Liang, swept away the might of Western Xia.

No sooner had they set out than Huai Prefecture and Wei Prefecture surrendered en masse.

They arrived at Zezhou, which was guarded by Niu Wenzhong, the pseudo-Privy Councilor of Tian Hu.

Only when resistance was encountered,

However, under the immense power of Shi Wengong and Hua Rong,

Zezhou was also easily captured.

Then the army split into three routes.

Han Cunbao led his troops westward to capture Jiangzhou and Jiezhou.

To seize the salt-producing area, Guan Sheng, Hua Rong, Shi Wengong, and Qin Ming marched north to attack Longde Prefecture.

Guan Sheng persuaded Tang Bin, Wen Zhongrong, and Cui Ye of Baodushan to surrender, thus gaining control of Huguan.

Open up the roads in Longde Province.

The army besieged Longde Prefecture.

Use gunpowder to breach the city walls.

They captured Longde Prefecture.

Just as they were about to continue their northward advance to attack Weisheng Army,

However, they were blocked at Xiangyuan by the reinforcements sent by Tian Hu.

One of the female generals, Yingniang, threw stones at people.

Dozens of officers and soldiers were wounded.

Zhao Yuan heard that his army had encountered obstacles.

He immediately ordered his personal guards to escort Li Ren'ai and others back to the capital.

Zhao Yuan led Wu Song's troops eastward.

Cross the Yellow River at Yonghe Pass.

The officials and people of Xizhou were only forced by the power of Tian Hu's bandits.

They were forced to submit.

Upon learning that the King of Liang of Daliang had led his troops into the territory,

The soldiers and civilians in the city then bound the garrison commander and surrendered.

Jinzhou was guarded by Tian Hu's third brother, Tian Biao.

When Tian Biao learned that the Liang army was coming to attack,

They then mustered their troops and prepared to guard against the Shaanxi Road.

The Liang King of Daliang swept away the Western Xia.

The news of Zheng's triumphant return has spread throughout the land.

Tian Biao guarded Jinzhou,

Tian Bao guarded Fenzhou.

It guards the west side of Weisheng.

Weisheng, however, was Tian Hu's stronghold.

Tian Hu hid all the money and grain he plundered in Hedong in Weisheng!

Chapter 1663 Another Shooting Stone

In addition, Weisheng has a strategically important and dangerous location.

The brothers have been running the business for many years.

Therefore, after Tian Hu captured Taiyuan Prefecture...

They did not move the puppet capital to Taiyuan.
