Transmigrating to the Song Dynasty: Water Margin Business Management

When Gao Qiu saw that Emperor Huizong of Song had given up the idea of ​​granting amnesty, he was overjoyed and hurriedly returned to his residence.

Gao Yanei, Wang Zhiqiang, and Gao Ke were already waiting in the mansion. As soon as they saw Gao Qiu return, they immediately surrounded him.

Gao Yanei asked impatiently, "Father, how is it?"

Gao Qiu stroked his beard and said smugly, "I have persuaded His Majesty to abandon the idea of ​​granting amnesty to the Liangshan bandits. Now, we can deal with them again."

Upon hearing this, Gao Yanei's face immediately lit up with excitement, and he burst into arrogant laughter: "Haha, great! Now let's see how arrogant those Liangshan bandits can be!"

Wang Zhiqiang chimed in from the side, "Congratulations, Grand Commandant! Congratulations, Grand Commandant! Now the Liangshan bandits are doomed."

Gao Ke also flattered, saying, "Grand Commandant is wise; this time we will surely wipe out all the Liangshan bandits in one fell swoop."

Gao Yanei became increasingly smug and said loudly, "Father, I heard that you are going to deal with Zhao Tianming personally. I want to go with you too, and I will definitely show them what we are capable of!"

Gao Qiu glared at him and said, "You good-for-nothing, all you do is stir up trouble. This matter needs careful consideration; we must not act rashly."

Gao Yanei, however, was unconcerned and said, "Father, what are you afraid of! Now that the Emperor is no longer offering them amnesty, what do we have to worry about? I will definitely beat that Zhao Tianming until he kneels down and begs for mercy."

As he spoke, Gao Yanei waved his fist, as if he could already see Zhao Tianming begging for mercy in front of him.

Gao Qiu shook his head helplessly and said, "With your temperament, you're bound to cause a big disaster sooner or later. However, we really need to plan carefully how to deal with the Liangshan group this time."

Gao Yanei excitedly approached Gao Qiu and said, "Father, I've made up my mind. Let's bring more men, storm Liangshan, and wipe them out in one fell swoop."

Gao Qiu roared, "Nonsense! Liangshan is a strategically important location, easy to defend and difficult to attack. How can we act so rashly?"

After being reprimanded, Gao Yanei dared not say another word, but his face was still full of arrogance and disdain.

Gao Qiu pondered for a moment and said, "We need to send people to find out the situation at Liangshan first, and then formulate a detailed plan. This time, we must ensure that the people of Liangshan will never have a chance to rise again."

Gao Yanei nodded hurriedly and said, "I will follow Father's instructions without hesitation."

At this moment, Gao Yanei was filled with fantasies of the impending victory and was completely unaware of the difficulties and dangers that lay ahead.

The following is a regenerated plot of approximately 1500 words: Gao Qiu sends troops to besiege Zhao Tianming's restaurant:

After dissuading Emperor Huizong from accepting the imperial pardon, Gao Qiu turned his attention to Zhao Tianming. He learned that Zhao Tianming frequented a certain restaurant, so he decided to send troops to besiege and suppress him.

Gao Qiu was plotting with Zhang, the military supervisor, in his residence. Gao Qiu's face was gloomy as he said, "This time, we must capture Zhao Tianming in that restaurant and not let him escape."

Commander Zhang cupped his hands and said, "Grand Commandant, rest assured, I have made all the arrangements."

Gao Qiu nodded, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes.

Subsequently, Gao Qiu dispatched five hundred soldiers, led by Zhang Dujian. Zhang Dujian divided the soldiers into three teams.

A team of two hundred men was tasked with blocking all the exits of the restaurant to prevent Zhao Tianming from escaping. They were armed with long spears and ready for battle.

Another team of two hundred men lay in ambush around the restaurant, ready to strike quickly if anything happened.

Meanwhile, Supervisor Zhang led a hundred men and stormed into the restaurant.

At this moment, Zhao Tianming was having a gathering with his friends in a restaurant, completely unaware of the impending danger.

Supervisor Zhang led his men into the restaurant, shouting, "Zhao Tianming, today is your death day!"

Zhao Tianming was initially startled, but quickly calmed down. His friends also stood up, ready to respond.

Zhao Tianming looked around and said, "Don't panic, everyone. Let's see what they can do to me!"

Zhang Dujian's soldiers quickly surrounded Zhao Tianming and his men.

Zhao Tianming, however, showed no fear and laughed, "You think you can take me down?"

Having said that, he took the initiative and began fighting with the soldiers.

Zhao Tianming was agile and quickly defeated several soldiers. His friends, not to be outdone, joined the fight.

Chaos erupted inside the restaurant; tables and chairs were overturned, and cups and plates were shattered.

However, Gao Qiu had a large number of soldiers, and Zhao Tianming and his men gradually found themselves in a predicament.

Just then, Zhao Tianming discovered an opening. He broke through the encirclement and rushed towards a window.

Supervisor Zhang shouted, "Don't let him get away!"

But Zhao Tianming still leaped out of the window.

Outside the window, soldiers who had been lying in ambush rushed forward.

Zhao Tianming remained calm and composed, dodging left and right, maneuvering against the soldiers.

At this moment, Zhao Tianming's friends inside the restaurant also rushed out to buy him time.

Zhao Tianming seized the opportunity, broke free from the soldiers' entanglement, and ran towards a small alley.

Supervisor Zhang and his men were in hot pursuit.

Zhao Tianming weaved through the alleys, using the terrain to evade his pursuers.

In the end, he successfully escaped Zhang Dujian's pursuit.

"You old scoundrel Gao Qiu, I'll remember this debt!" Zhao Tianming said through gritted teeth.

When Zhao Tianming was besieged by soldiers sent by Gao Qiu in the restaurant, and the situation was critical, the news quickly reached Song Jiang and others.

Upon learning of this, Song Jiang immediately gathered everyone and said, "Brothers, we cannot stand idly by while Brother Zhao Tianming is in trouble."

Lu Junyi stood up and said, "Brother Song, I am willing to lead a team to provide support."

Lu Zhishen brandished his monk's staff and shouted, "I will make those bastards taste my power!"

Wu Song clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with determination: "Brother, count me in!"

Shi Qian then cleverly said, "Brother, I'll go and find out what's going on first, and then find a suitable opportunity to lend Brother Zhao a hand."

Shi Xiu also stepped forward: "I will go with Brother Shi Qian."

The brothers, Jie Zhen and Jie Bao, said in unison, "We'll go too!"

Song Jiang nodded and said, "Alright, brothers, be careful."

Shi Qian and Shi Xiu, with their agile skills, quickly infiltrated the vicinity of the restaurant. Observing the situation, they discovered that Zhao Tianming and his group were heavily surrounded by government soldiers, and the situation was extremely critical.

Shi Qian whispered to Shi Xiu, "Brother Shi Xiu, you see that the defenses over there are relatively weak. Let's break through from there."

Shi Xiu nodded in agreement.

Taking advantage of the soldiers' inattention, the two quickly dealt with several guards and rushed into the restaurant.

"Brother Zhao, we're here to help you!" Shi Qian shouted.

Zhao Tianming's spirits lifted when he saw them arrive.

Without hesitation, Shi Xiu joined the battle and fought alongside Zhao Tianming.

At the same time, Lu Junyi's large group of men also arrived.

Lu Junyi shouted, "Brothers, charge!"

Lu Zhishen brandished his monk's staff, like a tiger descending the mountain, and wherever he went, soldiers fell to the ground.

Wu Song was incredibly brave, his punches landing with such force that the soldiers dared not approach him.

The brothers Jie Zhen and Jie Bao worked together seamlessly, one wielding a steel fork and the other a broadsword, routing the government troops and causing them to flee in disarray.

Song Jiang directed the group from the rear, ensuring the operation proceeded smoothly.

With everyone working together, the encirclement of the officers and soldiers was gradually broken.

Zhao Tianming said gratefully, "Thank you all for your help!"

Song Jiang said, "There's no need for formalities between brothers. Let's fight our way out first!"

The crowd protected Zhao Tianming, fighting and retreating simultaneously.

Shi Qian used his light-footed skills to scout ahead and find a safe retreat for everyone.

Finally, they successfully escaped the pursuit of the government troops.

Zhao Tianming said, "Thanks to everyone this time, Gao Qiu will definitely not let this go. We need to make preparations as soon as possible."

Everyone nodded, their eyes full of determination.

Holding the imperial sword, Gao Qiu arrogantly shouted at Song Jiang, Lu Jun, and the others, "You Liangshan bandits, how dare you come to kidnap people! Seize them!"

He thought his roar would quell the situation, but to his surprise, Li Kui charged at Gao Qiu without saying a word, brandishing his two heavy battle axes.

As Li Kui charged forward, he shouted, "You old bastard Gao Qiu, how dare you be so arrogant! I, Tie Niu, will chop you down!"

Upon seeing this, Gao Qiu's face turned deathly pale. He never expected such a reckless fellow to rush over, especially one with such immense strength and a ferocious appearance.

Gao Qiu panicked instantly. His once straight back bent involuntarily, and he retreated repeatedly, stammering, "Protect the Emperor! Protect the Emperor!"

The soldiers around him were also stunned by Li Kui's sudden action and didn't react for a moment.

As Gao Qiu retreated in a disheveled manner, he tripped over a stone and fell face-first into the mud. His official hat flew off and rolled a long way.

By the time the soldiers finally reacted and tried to rush forward to protect Gao Qiu, Li Kui had already reached him.

Gao Qiu was so frightened that he closed his eyes tightly and kept muttering, "Spare me! Spare me!"

Just as Gao Qiu was in a panic, Gao Yanei arrived at the scene with Gao Ke and the sorcerer Wu Feng.

Gao Ke glared angrily at Song Jiang and Lu Junyi, saying, "You Liangshan bandits, how dare you be so insolent!" His voice became somewhat sharp with anger.

After saying that, he turned to Wu Feng beside him and said urgently, "Master, it's up to you now!"

Wu Feng was dressed in a long black robe embroidered with strange runes. His face was pale, and his eyes exuded an unfathomable aura. He clasped his hands together and began to chant incantations.

As Wu Feng chanted his incantation, the atmosphere around them instantly became eerie. The air, which had been gently breezy, seemed to freeze, becoming heavy and oppressive.

At first, the Liangshan heroes didn't pay much attention, thinking it was just a charade. However, gradually, they sensed something amiss. An invisible force seemed to be permeating the surroundings, making them feel inexplicably uneasy.

Wu Feng's voice grew louder and louder, and the rhythm of his incantations quickened. Suddenly, dark clouds filled the sky, completely obscuring the bright sunlight and plunging the world into darkness.

Immediately afterwards, a strong wind arose, and sand and stones flew everywhere. The Liangshan heroes were caught off guard by this sudden change and quickly raised their hands to shield their faces from the sandstorm.

A hint of smugness flashed in Wu Feng's eyes, and his incantation grew more rapid.

Amidst the howling wind, eerie shouts of battle could be faintly heard, sending chills down one's spine.

Song Jiang frowned and shouted, "Brothers, don't be fooled by this sorcery!"

Lu Junyi also shouted, "Everyone, hold your ground!"

But at this point, some timid soldiers were so frightened that their legs went weak, and some even began to turn and run away.

Seeing this, Wu Feng chanted the incantation even more vigorously, trying to further amplify the power of the spell so that the Liangshan people would submit.

However, the heroes of Liangshan were not easily intimidated. Lu Zhishen roared, "What kind of sorcery is this? Watch me break it!" With that, he brandished his staff and charged towards Wu Feng.
