Long Live Mountain.

Zhao Ji has officially named it "Shoushan Genyue", or "Genyue" for short.

After years of construction, Genyue has begun to take shape.

In a corner of Genyue, there is a large grassland. This is the home of the two giraffes presented by Li Yanjin, no, it is the home of the two unicorns.

Zhao Ji looked at the two "unicorns", Longyan was delighted!

Lin Lingsu is on the left and Cai You is on the right. Both of them are praising Li Yanzhong for his loyalty.

Lin Lingsu said: "With the two divine beasts unicorns presented by Layman Li to the leader, the Taoist Emperor, to suppress luck, the Great Song Dynasty will surely last forever."

After Zhao Ji heard this, Long Yan was even happier!
Cai You said: "I heard that the governor has presented a batch of glazed wares and glazed windows to the officials. By the way, there are also mirrors. Can the officials reward the humble ministers? I heard that the glazed windows and mirrors are very magical."

Zhao Ji laughed and said: "It's amazing. The glazed window transmits light through the wind. Standing on one side, you can clearly see the scenery on the opposite side, as if there is nothing in the middle. The mirror is even more amazing. The reflection of a person's appearance is far from being comparable to a bronze mirror, and to tell you the truth, this is the first time that I can see my appearance so clearly."

Cai You pretended to be surprised and said, "So amazing?"

Cai You is really pretending. In fact, Li Yan had already given him and Lin Lingsu a large amount of glass and soap. Otherwise, they could work so hard to speak for Li Yan?
Seeing that Zhao Ji loved Li Yan so much, Gao Qiu who was following behind was hesitant in his eyes!

Liang Shicheng deliberately lagged behind by a few steps, and said: "Li Yan is now powerful and good at being a man. The officials will never want him to be a villain again. Therefore, whoever forces Li Yan to turn against him may have to bear the thunder of the officials. Anger, I know you are not reconciled to your cousin being cut by Li Yan, but now is not the time to turn against Li Yan, let's take it slowly and take away Li Yan's military power bit by bit, it is best to deceive Li Yan When you become an official in the court, when you are here, you will be worried about how you want to deal with Li Yan. You should bear it now. If you really can't bear this tone, you should first suppress that Erlong Mountain. Isn't that Erlong Mountain willing to resist this matter? Well, it’s better to fulfill them.”

Gao Qiu said unwillingly: "I am the only cousin in my Gao family who is the most talented, with both civil and military skills. I don't want to be lucky!"

Liang Shicheng patted Gao Qiu on the shoulder, and then went to serve Zhao Ji again.

Liang Shicheng has already pointed out the road to Gao Qiu. How Gao Qiu chooses is none of Liang Shicheng's business.

Taking a step back, if Gao Lian didn't even choose such an obvious choice, then Gao Lian would not be qualified to be Liang Shicheng's ally.

In the end, Gao Qiu endured it, and only ordered the prefect of Qingzhou Murong Yanda to wipe out Erlong Mountain and collect some interest first.

……

Let's say that after Murong Yanda received Gao Qiu's order, he immediately called Hu Yanzhuo.

It turned out that after Hu Yanzhuo was defeated by Shuibo Liangshan, he had nowhere to go, so he thought of Murong Yanda.

Before that, Hu Yanzhuo and Murong Yanda had met once, and Murong Yanda admired Hu Yanzhuo very much.

Hu Yanzhuo thought to himself: "The prefect of Murong is the elder brother of Concubine Murong in the official palace. Through Concubine Murong, it may not be possible to make a comeback."

But Hu Yanzhuo was still too optimistic.

If it was just a defeat, Murong Yanda would really be able to keep Hu Yanzhuo safe.

The point is, relying on that big victory, Li Yan captured the three prefectures of Jeju, Dongping, and Dongchang in a row. In this way, Hu Yanzhuo's crime was so serious that Murong Yanda did not dare to defend Huyan. Burn off.

However, Murong Yanda admired Hu Yanzhuo in the end, so he secretly left Hu Yanzhuo in Qingzhou Mansion to avoid disaster.

Later Qin Ming and Huang Xin rebelled, and Murong Yanda really didn't have a general to command the army, so he invited Hu Yanzhuo out.

Hu Yanzhuo finally got a chance to make a comeback, how could he not try his best to help Murong Yanda train his troops?
Some time ago, news came out that Li Yan was recruited by the court to become the governor of the Anton Protectorate. Therefore, the nature of the incident had changed, which made Hu Yanzhuo see the hope of recovery, so he trained more frequently.

Hearing that Murong Yanda had an invitation, Hu Yanzhuo immediately handed over the military training to his deputy, and then came to see Murong Yanda.

As soon as he saw Murong Yanda, Hu Yanzhuo said: "I don't know why my husband is looking for a villain?"

Murong Yanda didn't answer but instead asked: "Do you know that Erlong Mountain attacked Gaotang Prefecture and killed Gaozhifu?"

Hu Yanzhuo said: "The villain has heard about it, but the villain suspects that Erlongshan was not responsible for this matter. Erlongshan really does not have this strength."

Murong Yanda asked: "Who did that?"

Hu Yanzhuo said in a complicated tone: "According to the news I heard, this is very similar to the bandits in Shuibo Liangshan."

"Be careful!"

Murong Yanda said again: "Shuibo Liangshan is no longer a bandit, it is a branch of the Anton Governor's Mansion, and Governor Li is no longer a strongman of the water bandit, he is a second-rank official of the imperial court."

Speaking of this, Murong Yanda looked at Hu Yanzhuo and said: "I know you have old grievances with him, but now that he has surrendered to the imperial court, you should let him go."

Hu Yanzhuo bowed and said: "The villain lost to him back then... I am convinced, and I have no old grudges with him."

Although he heard that Hu Yanzhuo's words were insincere, Murong Yanda guessed that this was more unwillingness than hatred, and said: "Let the past go...Gao Taiwei sent a decree ordering us to wipe out the Erlongshan, I wonder what regulations you have?"

Hu Yanzhuo said: "The bandits on Erlong Mountain are nothing to be afraid of. The only thing to be afraid of is that his mountain is too steep. There are not 5 to [-] thousand people. It is impossible to take down there."

Murong Yanda said: "Then what should I do?"

Hu Yanzhuo thought for a while, and said: "I heard that Song Jiang, the second leader of Erlong Mountain, has always been ambitious and wants to dominate the green forests of Qingzhou. Come on, destroying these two hills will also restore Qingzhou to me, and secondly, if the people from Erlong Mountain can be dispatched to wipe them out, then Erlong Mountain will be much easier to fight."

Murong Yanda said: "This plan is very good."

……

Besides, Li Zhong and Zhou Tong, the tiger fighters on Peach Blossom Mountain, heard that Hu Yanzhuo was coming to beat them, so they were in a hurry!
As soon as the two of them got together, they immediately sent someone to Erlong Mountain, which was currently recruiting them, to ask for help.

Coincidentally, Maotouxing Kong Ming and Zhuxing Kongliang on Baihu Mountain also heard the news.

The brothers Kong Ming and Kong Liang were Song Jiang's apprentices. When Song Jiang was down and down, they lived in their family estate for a few months, and they had promised Song Jiang to go to Erlong Mountain to join the gang, so it was more righteous for them to seek help from Erlong Mountain.

After Song Jiang received Taohuashan and Baihushan's calls for help, he found Chao Gai, cried and bowed, and said how Kong Taigong, Kong Ming, and Kong Liang treated him kindly when he was in despair, and said that if he didn't report it This kindness is no different from that of an animal, and it is better to die.

Chao Gai was soft-hearted, and in the end he couldn't restrain Song Jiang's soft-heartedness, and once again agreed with Song Jiang to lead troops down the mountain...
