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

During the Song Dynasty,

Liu Yu could only look up to Zhang Bangchang.

Even under the puppet regime, he was no better than Zhang Bangchang.

At this moment, Zhang Bangchang actually knelt down and kowtowed to himself.

This made Liu Yu feel refreshed all over.

It felt like drinking a large bowl of ice water on the hottest days of summer.

This wonderful feeling

Liu Yu was already feeling like he was floating on air.

Liu Yu deliberately remained silent.

Let Zhang Bangchang kneel a little longer.

After thoroughly enjoying himself, he laughed and said:

"I am merely a Privy Councilor, while Lord Zhang is the Junior Chancellor of the Great Song Dynasty,"

"I dare not accept Lord Zhang's kneeling."

Chapter 248 Pillars of the Song Dynasty

Zhang Bangchang was terrified of dying.

They'd do anything to survive.

Kneeling and looking up with a forced smile:

"I can bear it, I can bear it."

"Lord Liu is truly a pillar of our Great Song Dynasty,"

"Work diligently from dawn till dusk."

"My kneeling is not just for myself,"

"They were also kneeling on behalf of the Emperor and the Empress Dowager,"

"Thank you, Lord Liu, for your hard work for the country and its people."

Kneeling on behalf of the Emperor and Empress Dowager?

It would be better if I didn't say this.

Zhang Bangchang said it aloud

A flame seemed to ignite in Liu Yu's heart.

He seemed to see the puppet emperor and empress dowager kneeling before him.

Liu Yu began to breathe rapidly.

He has now become a powerful minister.

Why can't he go further and become emperor?

God, please bless the marshal to win the battle!

Take over Hebei and Shandong.

by that time,

Find an opportunity to depose the young emperor.

I, Lao Liu, can go back to my hometown in Shandong and become emperor!

"But you're sensible enough,"

"Do you know what to do next?" Liu Yu asked.

Zhang Bangchang was already terrified, and he kowtowed again:

"I know. I'll write the memorial tonight,"

"Huang Qianshan is a traitor who colludes with the enemy and betrays the country,"

"Lord Liu has worked hard and made great contributions."

"For the sake of the Song Dynasty, I must recommend Lord Liu for the position of Grand Chancellor."

“My subordinates will also chime in.”

Liu Yu was very satisfied and nodded, saying:

“Those valuables outside,”

"Take it back."

"They're all your treasures,"

How could I take away what someone else loves?

Zhang Bangchang knew he could survive.

And it doesn't require major bleeding.

He was so excited that he trembled all over:

"I possess a genuine work by Liu Gongquan, which I acquired last year."

"I present this precious sword to a hero; please accept it with a smile, Lord Liu!"

"A genuine work by Liu Gongquan?"

Liu Yu's eyes lit up.

He personally helped Zhang Bangchang up and shouted towards the door:

"Why aren't you serving tea to Master Zhang?"

A major battle between the two armies is imminent.

The puppet court, however, unleashed a reign of terror and bloodshed.

Under Liu Yu's severe torture,

More than a dozen officials died because they could not withstand torture during interrogation.

More than forty others were convicted of treason and collusion with the enemy.

We are just waiting for Wanyan Zongwang to return.

They could be executed and beheaded all at once.

In Zhen Ding Prefecture, the people were filled with fear and unease.

Shi Li'ai stood on the city wall,

Looking at the distant countryside,

A series of exclamations rang out.

He boasted of being the Zhuge Liang of his time.

From Wanyan Zongwang to Liu Yu,

What kind of people are around me?

We arrived in Raoyang safely.

They replaced a batch of equipment.

Zhang Tang and Zhong Shizhong were waiting there.

He led his troops straight to Zhao Yuan's camp, which was forty miles away.

Upon arrival, a soldier came to relay the order:

"Generals, His Highness has decreed that you no longer need to set up camp,"

"Proceed to the Emperor's tent immediately for a discussion!"

"As for the Huainan New Army you brought,"

"Rest where you are, set up the pot and eat."

The crowd was puzzled.

At the narrowest point between the two rivers,
