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

It's inevitable to have some worries.

Deeply fearing that Liangshan would continue to grow stronger,

This would threaten the Song Dynasty.

"Brother, are the prefectures and counties in Shandong really powerless against Liangshan?"

Chen Xizhen couldn't help but ask.

"The Liangshan stronghold now commands a marshland with a population of over 100,000, and its soldiers alone number in the countless."

Mentioning Liangshan, Liu Guang couldn't help but sigh.

"If it had been six months ago, when Zhao Dalang from Tokyo first arrived at Liangshan Marsh, we could have decisively wiped him out and perhaps succeeded."

"Now that Liangshan has grown so powerful, how can the various prefectures and counties of Shandong possibly subdue them?"

"The best course of action now is to petition the court to dispatch elite imperial guards or the Western Army to wipe out Liangshan."

"But once such a report is submitted, the mismanagement of local officials can no longer be concealed."

Liu Guang said helplessly,

"By then, most of the officials in Shandong's prefectures and counties will probably have to lose their positions, and how could they be willing to accept that?"

"We can't just stand by and watch Liangshan wreak havoc on the Song Dynasty, can we?"

Chen Xizhen frowned and said...

"Brother, there's no need to be troubled by this,"

Liu Guang laughed,

"Now that the Holy Emperor is in power, it is only because of the deceitful ministers that these ambitious people from Liangshan have been given a temporary opportunity."

"When the Liangshan bandits have made such a big fuss that the prefectural government can no longer cover it up, there will surely be loyal ministers and righteous men who will report to the emperor."

"When that time comes, it will be the annihilation of these Liangshan bandits."

........

Liu and Chen,

They drank and chatted until late into the night.

Only then did he settle down in the study.

The next morning,

The genius was just beginning to emerge,

Then a servant from the Yun family came to report.

It was said that Yun Tianbiao had important business to discuss and invited the two to the front hall.

Liu Guang and Chen Xizhen were puzzled.

After a quick wash,

He then followed the servant to the front yard.

As soon as I entered the main room,

The two saw that Yun Tianbiao, the military commander of Jingyang Town, had a livid face.

Standing in the middle of the room.

His only son, Yunlong, stood to one side.

Besides this father-son duo 2.0,

in the room,

However, there were two men who looked alike.

He was middle-aged and had three long wisps of beard.

The other one was younger and also had a strong and powerful appearance.

Both of them looked extremely anxious.

They seemed to be in a state of anxiety.

"Brother Yun, what brings you two here?"

Liu Guang asked, puzzled.

"Brother Liu, I invited you and Master Chen here because of my two nephews!"

Yun Tianbiao said, his face filled with rage.

"Both of them are from Zhujiazhuang, Dulonggang, Yunzhou..."

Chapter 437 Everyone Joins Forces to Fight Against Liangshan

"They were originally three brothers."

"The eldest brother is Zhu Chaofeng, the second brother is Zhu Wannian, and the third brother is Zhu Yongqing."

"The eldest son, Zhu Chaofeng, inherited the family business and became the head of the Zhu Family Manor."

"Unexpectedly, news came from Yunzhou a while ago that Liangshan had mobilized a large army to attack Dulonggang!"

Yun Tianbiao roared in fury,

"After my nephew became the head of the Zhu Family Manor, he never offended Liangshan!"

"How could I have brought such a disaster upon myself!"

"My two nephews were worried that the Zhu Family Village would be harmed by Liangshan, so they rushed to Jingyang Town overnight to ask for my help!"

"Damn bandits, how dare they be so rampant! Harming innocent people!"

Liu Guang's face turned red with anger.

"Brother Yun, if you are willing to lead the troops of Jingyang Town to besiege Liangshan, I, Liu Guang, am willing to be the vanguard in suppressing the bandits!"

"Brother, don't rush,"

Chen Xizhen, however, had witnessed the might of the Liangshan soldiers in Peach Blossom Village.

Although he was also annoyed that the bandits dared to openly plunder the village,

But I also know,

With just over a thousand soldiers in Jingyang Town,

It was simply impossible for them to be enemies with Liangshan.

Others don't know this.

But Yun Tianbiao, as the military commander of Jingyang Town, couldn't possibly be unaware of this.

really,

Upon hearing Liu Guang's explanation,

Yun Tianbiao's face immediately showed embarrassment.

This person had a face like a red date, phoenix eyes, and silkworm eyebrows.

Because his appearance is similar to Guan Yu,

This man was just like Lü Fang of Liangshan.

The latter cosplayed as Lü Bu and earned the title of "Little Marquis Wen".

Yun Tianbiao also often imitated Guan Yu's clothing and posture.

He had a magnificent beard that reached his abdomen, and he walked with a powerful, swaggering gait.

There are those sycophants,

He often praised Yun Tianbiao, saying he was like Guan Yu reborn.

After hearing this for a long time,

Yun Tianbiao actually believed he was the reincarnation of Guan Yu.

He even specially learned how Guan Yu read the Spring and Autumn Annals at night.

He wrote a book called "The Great Treatise on the Spring and Autumn Annals".

However, Yun Tianbiao was originally a military officer.

Although he knows a few words,

But he has never read many books.

His work, "The Great Treatise on the Spring and Autumn Annals," is naturally riddled with flaws and errors.

This Yun Tianbiao calls himself Guan Yu.

But he clearly didn't have Guan Yunchang's courage.

For the past six months, Liangshan has been rampant in Shandong.

Yun Tianbiao, as the military commander of Jingyang Town,

Naturally, scouts had already been dispatched to gather detailed information about Liangshan.

Now, upon hearing Liu Guang's request for him to send troops to Liangshan...

Yun Tianbiao gave a dry laugh.

He quickly changed the subject.

“Brother Liu, although I am the military commander of Jingyang Town, if I want to send troops to Yunzhou to relieve the siege of Dulonggang, I first need the prefecture’s order to mobilize troops.”

"Otherwise, if we take military action without authorization and someone reports us to the higher authorities, it would be tantamount to treason!"

"But if we always act so timidly, are we just supposed to stand by and watch Liangshan run rampant?"

Liu Guang angrily raised his hand and slammed it hard against the beam next to him.

"Brother Liu, don't be anxious,"

Yun Tianbiao comforted him,

“The Dulonggang area is strategically important, and the Zhujiazhuang village is protected by the Pantuo Road.”

"As long as they don't act recklessly, the Liangshan bandits will have no way to deal with the Zhu Family Village."

"I have already sent a document to the prefectural government. As soon as they issue the order, I will immediately dispatch troops to Yunzhou to suppress the bandits!"

"That's all we can do now! Sigh..."

Liu Guang sighed.

"Since Brother Yun has already made a plan for this matter, then why don't you summon the two of us over here...?"

Chen Xizhen was somewhat puzzled.

Yun Tianbiao had clearly already made up his mind.

Why bother bringing him and Liu Guang over then?

"Thinking about how strong and well-equipped Liangshan is now, even if the prefecture agrees to send troops, I'm afraid we would be unable to contend with them relying solely on the strength of my Jingyang Town."

Yun Tianbiao said frankly,

"Previously, Brother Liu mentioned that he wanted to return to Anle Village in Yizhou to live."

“Nowadays, there are countless bandits and outlaws in various parts of Shandong. Local villages are organizing their own militias to defend against these bandits.”

"Brother Liu was originally the defender of the eastern city of Yizhou, and Brother Chen was originally an officer of the Imperial Guard in Bianliang."

"I would like to invite the two of you to also train troops and recruit heroes in Anle Village!"

"Meanwhile, I am also contacting the local lords and militias in various parts of Shandong."

"Once we obtain the court's approval, we will march together on Liangshan and wipe out that band of bandits!"

"I see!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Guang's face immediately lit up with joy.

"Brother Yun, rest assured, once I return to Yizhou, I will immediately organize local militias and strive to train an elite force capable of suppressing bandits as soon as possible!"
