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

The government troops dared not suppress them at all!

Li Ying couldn't help but ponder in his heart.

If the current situation continues,

Liangshan will grow bigger sooner or later.

Perhaps in the future, they will become a separatist regime.

It's possible to become a king or a hegemon!

What will become of Li Family Village?

... 0 ...

They boarded the Liangshan pirate ship very early on.

Or should we simply leave Dulonggang?

To avoid being implicated by Liangshan in the future?

.........

The Liangshan army had already occupied the Zhu Family Village,

Zhao Yuan then led the central army,

They moved directly to the courtyard of Old Master Zhu's house.

Zhu Jia acquired servants and farmhands.

Those who were already dead are dead, and those who had fled have already fled.

As for the Zhu family...

Only the old man and his grandson, who was not yet ten years old, were still alive.

Zhao Yuan kept his promise.

No one was implicated, including the child who was not yet ten years old.

But Old Master Zhu couldn't let it go.

Soldiers have already captured him.

We're just waiting for the public trial to be over soon.

They then proceeded according to the crimes alleged by the villagers and their servants.

He should be punished.

In the hall of the Zhu family,

Previously, those were because Zhu Biao was getting married,

And the hanging red silk ribbons

Zhao Yuan was already annoyed.

He ordered his soldiers to tear it off.

At this time, Chief Zhao was obtained.

Currently discussing with strategist Xu Guanzhong

How should we deal with this situation in Dulonggang...?

Chapter 431 Dulonggang Branch Village

The Dulonggang area is strategically important and dangerous.

There are nearly 10,000 villagers and households on the hill.

Now there are three villages.

Zhu Family Village has been occupied by Liangshan.

The Hu family village also joined Liangshan.

Only Lijiazhuang remains unrelated to Liangshan.

"Chief, this Dulonggang is in a dangerous location and has nearly ten thousand people,"

Hsu Kuan-chung suggested,

"Now that Liangshan has captured it, why not build a branch camp here as well?"

Is it necessary to build a stockade here?

Zhao Yuan asked in confusion,

"This Dulonggang is not far from Liangshan Marsh. If anything happens, Liangshan can quickly send the '303' team over."

"Chief, that's not how it's supposed to be,"

Hsu Kuan-chung explained,

"Nowadays, besides the main stronghold of Liangshan Marsh, the only other mountain strongholds are a few branch strongholds in Qingzhou."

"Although we also captured many villages in the remaining Jeju and Yunju prefectures and distributed land to the people,"

"But whenever these villagers encounter problems, they can only come to the marsh for help."

"By the time the Liangshan army arrived, either the matter had already been quelled or the perpetrators had already fled."

“If this continues, it will definitely damage Liangshan’s prestige.”

"Furthermore,"

Xu Guanzhong pondered for a moment before continuing,

"Now that the Liangshan army is all stationed in the marshland, they can use the rivers and lakes to travel to various places,"

"But if government troops attack in the future, they can camp on the shore and block the entrances to all rivers and waterways,"

"Wouldn't Liangshan be trapped in the marshland?"

"That's true,"

Zhao Yuan couldn't help but nod.

As the saying goes, you shouldn't put all your eggs in one basket.

Whenever ancient books describe military formations and tactics...

There is also a saying that it presents a triangular shape.

Their purpose is that once a place is surrounded,

There's always someone else coming to help.

This way, they won't be trapped in one place.

The Dulonggang area boasts a superior geographical environment.

It was indeed a suitable location to establish a branch village.

"But then, who will guard this place?"

Zhao Yuan said with a headache,

"The manpower in the mountain stronghold is still insufficient."

If this Dulonggang is used as a cover for Liangshan's branch strongholds...

That was clearly far more important than the several branch villages in Qingzhou.

Of course, you can't just send over any leader.

"In my humble opinion, it would be better to let Commander Yang guard this Dulonggang."

Xu Guanzhong suggested,

"Commander Yang comes from a military family and is literate, so he can be considered both a scholar and a warrior,"

"Send him two more deputies, that should be enough to guard Dulonggang."

"As for the cavalry originally under Commander Yang on Liangshan, they can be directly handed over to the newly surrendered Luan Tingyu,"

"This can be considered a win-win situation."

"That's fine, let's do it your way."

Zhao Yuangang made the final decision.

Then a personal guard came in.

He reported that Li Ying had brought wine and meat to reward the troops.

"It seems that this Master Li is also in a hurry,"

Xu Guanzhong laughed,

“We had just taken over Zhu Family Village when he rushed here in a hurry.”

"I've heard that this Master Li is known in the martial arts world as the Soaring Eagle, and his martial arts skills are quite extraordinary,"

"The chieftain was just worried that there weren't enough capable men,"

"Why not take this opportunity to recruit Li Ying to Liangshan as well?"

"Let's talk about this after we've met Li Ying,"

Zhao Yuan did not immediately agree with Xu Guanzhong's words.

He simply sent the guards out.

Bring Li Ying and the others in. ......

.......

Under Yang Zhide's leadership, the Sky-Soaring Eagle

Walking on the roads of Zhujiazhuang,

But I couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

This Zhu Family Village,

He was quite familiar with it.

We used to come and go frequently.

But now,

The one in charge here,

But the Zhu family became Liangshan.

along the way,

Seeing many people,

Following the instructions of the Liangshan soldiers

They walked towards the village's threshing ground.

Li Ying couldn't help but ask out of curiosity,

What are they going to do?

"Public trial,"

Yang Zhi gave a brief reply.

"Liangshan will interrogate the Zhu family members in the threshing ground, in front of the people of Zhu Family Village,"

“If any of these people have been wronged, they can go there to appeal.”

"So that's it..."

Li Ying gave a dry laugh.

Although his Li 2.0 family village treated villagers and tenants...

Not as strict as the Zhu Family Village,

But now, seeing the Zhu family members either dead or injured...
