Water Margin: You dog official, you still say you don’t know martial arts?

Chapter 18 Hua Rong: I think the rebels in Qingfeng Mountain are like a token of sacrifice!
Just develop slowly and don’t waste time!
Although Liu Gao seemed to have a high starting point, he had two generals, Hua Rong and Jiao Ting, and five hundred soldiers under him.

But in fact he is very weak now.

Not to mention the future Liangshanpo, even Erlongshan would be difficult to deal with.

What is the strength of Erlongshan?
Not counting the small ones, the big ones alone include the Flowery Monk Lu Zhishen, the Monkey King Wu Song, and the Green-Faced Beast Yang Zhi!
These three bosses are...

wrong!

Now these three big guys haven’t gone to Erlong Mountain yet!

The one who has become a bandit in Erlong Mountain now is the golden-eyed tiger Deng Long!
There is also Peach Blossom Mountain!
I wonder if the tiger-fighting general Li Zhong has gone up the mountain. If not, there is only the little tyrant Zhou Tong!
But even so, if this group of bastards gather together to fight Qingfeng again, Liu Gao will be in big trouble.

There is also a rising star, Baihu Mountain...

With Liu Gao’s current strength, it is too difficult to deal with the three mountains.

It’s better to just focus on development first.

"The most important thing is to grow stronger!"

As Liu Gao spoke, he personally filled the tea cups for Hua Rong and Jiao Ting:
"After all, a good blacksmith must be strong himself!"

"Blacksmith need its own hardware……"

Hua Rong chewed it over and over again, and the more he chewed it, the more he felt it was a classic:

"Brother, you are eloquent and knowledgeable!"

Jiao Ting was much more direct: "Brother is right!"

"There are three big mountains around our Qingfeng Village, Qingfeng Mountain, Erlong Mountain, and Taohua Mountain. They are the three rebels!"

Liu Gao put down the teapot and said worriedly:

"Qingfeng Village must first recruit soldiers and horses..."

"But big brother, Qingfeng Village's regular army is only one hundred men, and it's already full!"

Hua Rong couldn't help but remind Liu Gao:
"There are still four hundred soldiers!
"If we recruit more soldiers, we will exceed the rules..."

"What can five hundred men do?"

Liu Gaocai doesn't care about whether it exceeds the rules or not:
“There are 500 rebels in Qingfeng Mountain alone!
"If the three rebels collude with each other and attack Qingfeng Village together, how should we respond?"

Jiao Ting: "Brother is right!"

Hua Rong gave Jiao Ting a blank look at this fool and advised Liu Gao:

"We can ask the Command Department for help!"

"Can you make it?"

Liu Gao asked: "If Qingfeng Village is attacked by Qingfeng Mountain bandits at this time, will it be too late to ask for help?"

Hua Rong remained silent.

"There are only a hundred regular soldiers, we can recruit more local soldiers!"

Liu Gao has a very flexible mindset:
“No need for many, eight hundred people will be enough!

"This way, we won't be afraid even if three rebels come together to attack us!

“As for maintaining the army, if the imperial court doesn’t provide enough, I will make up for it!

“If that’s still not enough, go and rob the three rebels!

"They have plenty of money for rebellion!"

Jiao Ting: "Brother is right!"

Is this the only sentence you know?
Hua Rong was also drunk.

But he and Liu Gao were sworn brothers, and since Liu Gao had made up his mind, Hua Rong would not try to persuade him any further:

"I have a small fortune, and I am willing to share the expenses with you, big brother!"

"Brothers!"

Liu Gao held Hua Rong's hand very tightly:
"As the saying goes, brothers of one mind can break metal!

"We brothers are united in purpose and share weal and woe. We will surely become bigger and stronger and create greater glory!"

Hua Rong and Liu Gao looked at each other, and feeling his sincerity, they nodded vigorously:

"I will listen to you all, big brother!"

[Hua Rong's favorability +100! ]

Jiao Ting quickly interrupted: "Me too!"

"it is good!"

Liu Gao freed one hand and held Jiao Ting's hand.

There are only two little brothers in total, and we cannot favor one over the other.

[Jiao Ting's favorability +100! ]

"Secondly, we must defeat them one by one!"

After some friendly interaction, Liu Gao said: "We can pick one of the three rebels and fight them!

"Qingfeng Mountain is badly hurt. We should recruit soldiers and horses while looking for opportunities to eliminate Qingfeng Mountain!"

"Brother, you have a good idea. We should do this as soon as possible!"

Hua Rong agreed: "If we delay for too long, Qingfeng Mountain will recover and it will be difficult to deal with him!"

Liu Gao felt that Hua Rong was a little radical.

Although we won yesterday, we killed 800 enemies but lost 1,000 of our own!
In order to completely wipe out the fifty minions of Qingfeng Mountain, Qingfeng Village paid the price of over a hundred casualties!
This is two hundred soldiers from the village besieging fifty minions from Qingfeng Mountain!
You can imagine how much the combat power differs!

At present, even the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty are powerless, and the soldiers of Qingfeng Village can only be said to be weak and vulnerable...

So if Liu Gao were to follow his lead, he would definitely recruit soldiers first, and then train them diligently after he had superior military strength.

After we have trained a group of elite soldiers, we will fight a decisive battle with Qingfeng Mountain.

This will take at least three months.

But Hua Rong had just expressed his loyalty to Liu Gao, and Liu Gao didn't want to dampen Hua Rong's enthusiasm right away, so he just nodded:

"Second brother, what you said makes sense!"

Hua Rong was waiting for Liu Gao to say this, and immediately stood up and clasped his fists:
"Brother, I am willing to be a scout!"

what?
Liu Gao's eyelids jumped: "Second brother, you are a general, you should not take risks yourself!
"Let's choose someone else!"

Jiao Ting also said: "Yes, Huazhizhai!

"I'm new here and haven't done anything yet, so why don't I go?"

"Big brother!"

Hua Rong ignored Jiao Ting and expressed his determination to Liu Gao:
"I have been dealing with the rebels in Qingfeng Mountain for two years!

"No one knows the Qingfeng Mountain rebels better than me, so I'll go!"

Liu Gao frowned: "This..."

"Big! Brother!"

Hua Rong emphasized his tone and volunteered:

"Speed ​​is of the essence in war, I will set out today!
“As long as there is an opportunity, I will send someone to report immediately!
"When the time comes, big brother will lead the army here. Big brother will be in the open, and little brother will be in the dark. We will cooperate from inside and outside, and attack from both sides!
"Are you still worried that you can't destroy the rebels in Qingfeng Mountain?"

Are you in such a hurry?
Liu Gao was a little caught off guard.

Only then did he realize that it was impossible for everything to go exactly as he wanted.

Hua Rong is not an NPC, Hua Rong is a living person!

In fact, Hua Rong’s idea is very simple.

He didn't catch Yan Shun, and Wang Aihuhu even ran away. To put it simply, all his efforts were in vain!

In addition, Hua Rong was ridiculed by Hua Yue Niang. How could a young hero like Hua Rong bear this?
And he always thought that he was being held back by Liu Zhizhai.

Without Liu Zhizhai holding them back, with him in charge of Qingfeng Village, who would dare to cause chaos in Qingzhou?

As a result, Liu Gao not only did not hold back, but also designed a plan to defeat the rebels in Qingfeng Mountain!

He became a drag...

Little Li Guang's self-esteem was hurt!
Hua Rong was eager to prove himself, and he wanted to show his loyalty and determination, so Liu Gao found it difficult to refuse.

What Hua Rong said made sense, and since Hua Rong's martial arts skills were so high, Liu Gao finally agreed after much hesitation:

"Well, you can be a scout, but you must be careful when you go deep into the tiger's den!

"Don't act on your own before our troops arrive!"

[Hua Rong's favorability +1000! ]

Hua Rong was very confident: "Don't worry, big brother!
"I see the rebels in Qingfeng Mountain as chickens and dogs, waiting to be sold!"

Liu Gao thought about it and it made sense.

Now only Yan Shun and Wang Aihu are left among the three wastelands of Qingfeng Mountain.

Wang Aihu also turned into Wang Eunuch Hu.

With Hua Rong's martial arts skills, wouldn't it be easy to capture Yan Shun and Wang Yanhu?

"it is good!"

Liu Gaoduan picked up the teacup:

"I'll give you tea instead of wine, and wish you success in advance!"

……

The next day.

Liu Gao was just taking a nap with Liu Zhizhai's wife in his arms when he suddenly heard Wang Mazi crying for his parents:
"No, no, no!
"My husband has done something serious!"
