Water Margin people

Chapter 712 Li Gang's Thoughts

"What's so ridiculous!"

Li Gang looked at Sun Lei and the others coldly, he could hear the sarcasm in the laughter.

"Mr. Li, it's okay to use officers and soldiers to scare others, but it's a little too contemptuous to scare me, Liangshan. Let me introduce you."

"Wang Jin Wang has taught the Imperial Army for 15 years, and there is no other instructor with more senior qualifications than him in the Imperial Army."

"Instructor Lin Chonglin, the instructor of the Forbidden Army for eight years, and several generations in the family have been the instructor of the Forbidden Army!"

"Lu Zhishen Master Lu, a former general of the Western Army, fought against the Xixia people under the tent of the old man of Jinglue Mansion."

"Qin Ming, the Chief of Army and Horse of Qingzhou Mansion."

"Zhang Qing, the military and horse commander of Dongchang Mansion."

"Many of them are from martial arts or military households, so I won't list them one by one."

Sun Lei pointed to the people present and introduced with a smile.

"Mr. Li, this is not to show you how powerful my Liangshan brothers are, but I want to tell you that I know better the virtues of the officers and soldiers. Whether it is the Imperial Army, the Western Army or the Xiang Army, you are a civil servant and don't understand at all. How rotten the army is now."

Sun Lei looked at Li Gang and said, Li Gang is only in his 30s, and he has been in Tokyo since he was elected, and he doesn't know what's going on down there without the release.

Li Gang didn't expect that he would be speechless by a bandit. He really wanted to argue, but as Sun Lei said, he didn't know the specific situation in the army.

"If that's the case, then I'll go back and reply."

Seeing this, Li Gang immediately got up and was about to leave.

As soon as they arrived at the door, Xie Zhen and Xie Bao blocked Li Gang's way.

"What does it mean!"

Li Gang looked back at Sun Lei coldly.

"Mr. Li, since you're here, why rush to leave? You won't be able to pay the job if you go back like this!"

Sun Lei looked at Li Gang with a smile and said.

"Oh, then I will stay for a few days."

Li Gang's complexion changed suddenly, and he smiled and said, he didn't think of leaving so easily, he was just pretending, Sun Lei's opening made him take the opportunity to stay, just in time for him to get to know the gang of thieves in Liangshanbo.

"Haha, let's take a seat then!"

Although Sun Lei was a little surprised, he still laughed and invited.

After the banquet, Li Gang went to the small courtyard arranged by Sun Lei. In order to fulfill the friendship of the landlord, Sun Lei specially asked Hu Cheng to be Li Gang's guide.

"Brother, this Li Gang is not easy!"

Seeing Li Gang go, Wen Huanzhang said in a low voice.

"It's not easy, but I can't escape my grandson's Wuzhishan."

Sun Lei said with a smile, it's fine if you don't see it, but now that you see it, how can you let it go.

"Let's ignore him for now. Tokyo has sent back news that Gao Lian is going to call Liu Menglong, the commander of the Jiankang Prefecture Navy, and is still building warships in Jinmingchi. It is estimated that he will come here in a few months."

Sun Lei looked at the crowd and said.

"Brother, don't worry, come and kill as many as you want!"

Lin Chong said.

"I always feel that Gao Lian's visit this time is not that simple! He has missed several times, and this time there are more than [-] sailors who dare to come in person?"

Sun Lei expressed his doubts, Gao Qiu dared to come in person must be absolutely sure, and it is obviously not enough to attack Liangshanbo's [-] sailors.

"Brother, do you mean that Gao Qiu will not only come here this time? There are quite a few Imperial Guards in Tokyo, and Gao Qiu is the third captain, so he can be transferred."

Wang Jin frowned and thought, the main force of the western army is far in the northwest, it is impossible to transfer to Liangshanbo, the surrounding Xiang army has long been beaten by Liangshan and dare not show up, and now only the forbidden army in Tokyo can be used.

"How many military divisions think?"

Sun Lei looked at Xiao Jiasui, Wen Huanzhang and Li Zhu and asked.

"Brother, Huang Wenbing is now the prefect of Puzhou. I think Gao Lian will attack from the north."

Xiao Jiasui pointed to the north and said that Huang Wenbing should have been severely punished for losing Jeju, but Gao Qiu pleaded for mercy and let Huang Wenbing go to Puzhou again. There must be intentions in this.

"The military division is saying that Gao Lian is going to let the navy enter Liangshanpo directly from the Yellow River?"

Sun Lei narrowed his eyes and asked.

"That's right. Now that we have conquered Jeju, Liangshanbo has expanded two hundred miles to the west. It is almost impossible for Gao Qiu to lead the navy to come from the Wuzhang River. The Wuzhang River is not very wide."

"The Wuzhang River cannot be walked. There are only two ways for the Tokyo Navy to come here. One is to take the Bianhe River, the Nanqing River and then turn to Surabaya. But this road is too far away, and it is impossible to go. The other is to take the Yellow River and then go to Surabaya. Going south, this is the quickest way."

Xiao Jiasui said, although Liangshanbo is very close to Tokyo, the imperial court is tired and the river has not been dredged for a long time. It is okay to take some boats on this waterway, but if there is a water battle, it will be a bit difficult to use.

"Puzhou, that's how it is!"

Sun Lei nodded, such an analysis is really possible.

"There are still a few months, don't worry, let Gao Lian help us build the ship properly!"

Sun Lei said with a smile, this means that if there is no gun or cannon, the enemy will make it for us.

"Li Gang is not the only one who recruited security. It is said that the imperial court also sent envoys to recruit security from other three parties, but I guess they will not succeed. The chaos will continue for a while in the past six months."

Sun Lei looked at the crowd and said, once a rebellion started, it would not be so easy to quell. Ambition would only swell and not die by itself.

Zhao Ji and those high-ranking officials are self-righteous, unwilling to give any benefits, and want to deceive people to recruit for security with empty words. How can there be such a cheap thing in the world?

"After that, I took the time to go to Cangzhou. It is said that they had a little friction with the Liao Kingdom."

Sun Lei looked at the crowd again and said.

"Brother, younger brother is willing to fight with you!"

When everyone heard that there was a conflict with the Liao Kingdom, they immediately regained their spirits. Da Song's mess is very boring to fight, it is too weak, and it is too embarrassing to brag if it wins. It is still good enough to fight against the Khitan people of Liao Kingdom.

"Let's talk about it later, it's still early."

Sun Lei shook his head. Although the war is near, it is not so fast. It will take at least three or four months for Gao Qi to build a warship. Liao Kingdom is now being beaten to death by the Jurchens, and there is no possibility of any major conflicts. Little friction at the border.

When Li Gang returned to his residence, he was instantly surrounded by Li Yuhou and Zhang Ganban, who asked him repeatedly if the matter was over and when he would leave.

"We can't leave for the time being, then Sun Lei said he wants us to stay for a while!"

Li Gang looked at the two with a embarrassed expression and said.

"What? Stay for a while!"

Zhang Ganban's face was pale, but he didn't want to stay in this den of thieves for a moment.

"No way, the thieves are powerful, let's wait for a few days, the thieves dare not touch us!"

Li Gang comforted the two of them.

In the next few days, Li Gang visited Jeju Prefecture under the leadership of Hu Cheng.

"There is Liangshan Park over there? I wonder if I can go and see it?"

Li Gang pointed in the direction of Liangshan Po and asked, he was even more curious when he saw merchants and common people going to Liangshan Po in the past few days.

"Of course, my brother has something to say, except Liangshan and the military restricted area, all other places are open."

Hu Cheng nodded.

"I didn't expect so many people to go to Liangshanbo!"

The closer he got to Liangshanbo, the more frightened Li Gang was. There were more and more people on the road, and they all gathered towards Liangshanbo.

"Haha, merchants on the Jingdong Road will pass through Liangshanbo, and there are fewer people now that it's not the New Year's Eve."

Hu Cheng laughed and said.
