Water Margin people

Chapter 706 Raising troops
"Is this the latest battleship!"

Sun Lei looked at the ships in the Houshan shipyard and said, the shape of the ships has completely deviated from the former loach warships, and there is no high-rise structure similar to houses on board.

"Brother, this is a warship newly developed according to the wind and waves at sea. These ships will look cumbersome in rivers and lakes, but once they enter the sea, they will be dragons!"

Meng Kang pointed at the ship and said with a smile, the sea is very windy and rough, and the several floors of houses on the ship are simply a burden, it is better to erect a few more masts to hang the sails.

"Well, good, good!"

Listening to Meng Kang's introduction, Sun Lei was very satisfied. This is the sea boat he wanted.

"Is there a smaller boat, the kind that can go up and down the river like the wind and can hide your body?"

Although Sun Lei looked at the huge warship with satisfaction, it was obvious that this thing could not enter the Yalu River in a concealed manner.

"Brother, yes!"

Meng Kang smiled and led Sun Lei into the dock.

"Brother, please take a look, how about these ships?"

Meng Kang pointed to several slender boats and said.

"Not bad! Not bad! It's just a shrunken version, and the hull is also low, perfect for concealment!"

Sun Lei was very satisfied looking at those ships.

"Brother, these ships are models of that big ship. Although they are models, they are absolutely fine for sailing!"

Ye Chun said with a smile, if you want to build a brand new big ship, you must first make some models, and these small ships are just that.

"With these few ships, the trip to Liaodong is more sure!"

Sun Lei nodded and said.

"Brother, Fang La, Tian Hu, and Wang Qing have all raised their troops!"

Zhu Fu hurriedly came to report.

"So soon!"

Sun Lei was surprised to hear that he had only left Tokyo not long ago, and the rest of them were far away, especially Fang La, who should have just returned to Jiangnan.

Back in the Juyi Hall, everyone had already sat down and waited.

"What's the situation, tell me."

Sun Lei sat down and looked at Xiao Jiasui and said.

"Brother, in Hebei, Tian Hu has raised troops to attack Fenyang and Zhaode prefectures, Huaixi Wang Qing has occupied Fangzhou, Fang La has also raised troops in Shezhou and Muzhou, and is now attacking Hangzhou."

Xiao Jiasui briefly explained the current situation.

"Will the three families rise up together?"

Sun Lei narrowed his eyes and said.

"Brother, let's raise troops too!"

Everyone couldn't bear it any longer. There were only four forces in Jianghu now, and the rest of them had already raised their troops. They Liangshan couldn't fall behind.

"Okay, the horse army will attack Dongping Mansion, and the infantry army will attack Jeju."

Sun Lei nodded and said, since the other three families have already raised their troops, Liang Shanbo naturally can't stay out of the matter, and must rise together to keep up with everyone's footsteps, which is in line with his identity as a thief.

"Yes, brother!"

After hearing this, everyone was overjoyed, and went out of the Juyi Hall to gather soldiers and horses.

"Brother, isn't this already arranged?"

Wen Huanzhang looked at Sun Lei suspiciously and asked, the other three parties seemed to have discussed it, and they raised troops at the same time, and they were a little hasty. Doesn't this mean that Liang Shanbo's pressure was dispersed? You must know that Liang Shan took the Daqing Palace. Long Qi, when the examination is over, the imperial court will definitely launch a large army to attack.

"How could I arrange it? Fang La, Tian Hu, and Wang Qing are not fools, they won't listen to me at all!"

Sun Lei smiled wryly and shook his head. If he could control the other three giant bandits, he would really become the leader of the martial arts alliance. Although he expected that the three families would raise troops, he did not expect it to be so soon and together.

"I'm afraid that these three forces are afraid that we will defeat the official army again and really stabilize the world."

Li Zhu opened the mouth and said.

"Oh, brother Li, how do you explain this statement?"

Wen Huanzhang looked at Li Zhu suspiciously and asked, Li Zhu was from a pure Jianghu background, and could best understand the thoughts of Jianghu people.

"Since winning the Dragon Banner at the Heroes Conference, our Liangshan has secured the number one position in the rivers and lakes. We have attacked the state capital several times and defeated the officers and soldiers steadily, which has attracted the attention of the world. If we fight back again The imperial army, what do you think the people of the world will think of Liangshan?"

Li Zhu looked at everyone with a smile and said.

"Naturally, I think that Liangshan already has the strength to fight against Song Dynasty!"

Sun Lei said, once or twice may be a fluke, but three or four times is the real strength.

"If that's the case, Fang La, Tian Hu, and Wang Qing will lose the opportunity. If you want to have a reputation in this world, you must also have a reputation. Whoever has a bigger reputation and stronger combat power will have more supporters." There are many, and only with people can we win this world!"

Li Zhu nodded and said, since ancient times, the support of various forces has been indispensable for uprisings. Now that Liang Shan is leading the way, how can the other three parties sit still?

"So it looks like it's going faster than we expected."

Sun Lei nodded and said, the other three parties raised troops to separate one side and prevent Liang Shan's influence.

Soon came the day when the mission departed.

"Mr. Xu, have a good journey!"

Sun Lei looked at Xu Guanzhong and clasped his fists.

"Thank you brother!"

Xu Guanzhong returned the salute with clasped fists.

"Ma Daochang, Shi Qian, be careful in everything, Mr. Xu's safety is the top priority in everything."

Sun Lei looked at Ma Ling and Shi Qian and said.

"Yes, brother!"

Ma Ling and Shi Qian solemnly clasped their fists together.

"Xiao Qi, Zhang Shun, you guys are trying to hide. If there is a change, take care of the military division and others, and go directly to Bohai Sea."

Sun Lei looked at Ruan Xiaoqi and Zhang Shun and said, Liaodong is vast and sparsely populated, it is too easy for a few ships to hide, but as long as they return to the Bohai Sea, the Jurchens are not to be feared.

"Yes, brother!"

Ruan Xiaoqi and Zhang Shun said, with their water skills, as long as they are on the water, they are not afraid of any enemies.

Watching the mission go away by boat, Sun Lei was reluctant to leave for a long time.

"Brother, Master Xu will return safely!"

Xiao Jiasui looked at Sun Lei and said, Xu Guanzhong is calm and capable, and is proficient in foreign language habits, so it shouldn't be a big problem to go to Jurchen as an envoy.

"The battle is going well!"

Sun Lei shook his head suddenly and asked.

"Jeju and Dongping Mansions have been taken, and the people everywhere have been appeased. All the generals hope to continue the attack!"

Xiao Jiasui opened the mouth and said, Liangshan has a very good reputation around, and the people who have been persecuted by Xicheng have already hated the imperial court, and when Liangshanpo's army arrived, it would be Tan Shihu to welcome the king's division.

"Don't be in a hurry. Jeju and Dongping Mansion are near Liangshanbo, and the people's will is naturally easy to fight and control, but it's hard to say outside."

Sun Lei shook his head and said, the siege must be done step by step, blind expansion is not good.

"In a short period of time, the world is in chaos. The court should have responded, right?"

Sun Lei asked, no matter how good-for-nothing Zhao Ji is, it is impossible for Zhao Ji to ignore the chaos in the world, and the imperial court should raise troops to suppress it soon.

"The examination will end in a few days, and the top three will be selected in the palace examination. After that, the imperial court should call in an army to suppress it."

Xiao Jiasui said.

"Well, the next step is how to defend. The occupied city must not be given up."

Sun Lei looked at Xiao Jiasui and said, this is also the reason why he is unwilling to expand blindly. If the occupied city is breached, it will seriously damage the majesty of Liangshan, and it will also make it difficult for Liangshan to capture the city in the future.
