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

Chapter 563 Dai Zong: I couldn’t outrun that guy… [3 more]

However, the elderly, the weak, the sick, and those who were forced to flee were not allowed to hand them over to the court.

When there are too many people talking, it is inevitable that they will be exposed.

Therefore, all Liu Gao handed over to the court were heads and military achievements.

They were forced to settle down locally and resume production.

The elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled were sent directly to the military farms.

In this way, the four states that were devastated by Tian Hu would not have been left without the crowing of roosters or the smoke of cooking fires within a hundred miles.

Liu Gao's decision surprised Bian Xiang, Sun An and others, but it was understandable considering the situation of the granary.

"Just use the standards of my more than 10,000 official troops to select these 130,000 troops."

Liu Gao glanced at the generals:
"Hu Yanzhuo, Lu Junyi, the two of you will work with Bian Xiang and Sun An to select.

"Within three days, I want to see innocent people living and working in peace!
"The old, weak, sick and disabled, take up arms and return to the fields!"

"Yes!"

Hu Yanzhuo, Lu Junyi, Bian Xiang and Sun An received the order together.

At this time, Zhang Bao came in with a shocked look on his face:
“Master, when we were searching the palace, we saw a strange man holding two people and running very fast!
"wrong!
"He's not running on his own two feet, that weirdo has two wheels under his feet!

"The two wheels are spinning so fast that I can't catch up no matter how hard I try!
"Only Dean Dai caught up with them alone..."

"what?"

Liu Gao originally thought that everything was under control, so he asked his men to search for Tian Ding while he waited in the main hall.

Who knew that Cheng Yaojin would suddenly appear halfway!
Liu Gao suddenly remembered that there was another talented person in Jin State:
That is Ma Ling, also known as "the divine horse" and "little Huaguang"!

Ma Ling rides on the wind and fire wheels and travels a thousand miles a day!
Dai Zongcai only travels 800 miles a day, so he definitely cannot catch up.

In the original novel, Dai Zong also chased Ma Ling.

Dai Zong was well prepared and had tied up his armored horse before chasing Ma Ling.

Ma Ling walked more than twenty miles, while Dai Zong only walked sixteen or seventeen miles.

If Ma Ling had not happened to bump into Lu Zhishen who had traveled through time and knocked him to the face with his Zen stick, he would have been able to escape.

And Ma Ling’s “Gold Brick Method” is also powerful.

In the original novel, he injured Lei Heng, Zheng Tianshou, Yang Xiong, Shi Xiu, Jiao Ting, Zou Yuan, Zou Run, Gong Wang, Ding Desun, Shi Yong and others in one battle.

Lu Junyi was helpless.

Shi Qian also came in and said, "Sir, the bandit leader Tian Ding and Yan Poxi were rescued by the divine horse Ma Ling!
"We couldn't catch up with him, and those who blocked his way were injured by him with gold bricks!
"Even Ma Lin was knocked to the ground by him..."

Sun An looked at Bian Xiang, who said quickly:

"Brother, Ma Ling has been practicing in seclusion for some time...

"I didn't expect him to suddenly appear today..."

Liu Gao nodded: "I understand.

“It would be difficult for ordinary people to deal with these talented people if they are not prepared.

"Let's wait until Brother Dai Zong comes back."

An hour later, Dai Zong came back, his face filled with shame:
"Brother, I can't outrun that guy..."

It would be fine if they didn't win the one-on-one fight, but the key point is that Ma Ling still has two people in his hands.

This is embarrassing...

"It's okay, thank you for your hard work, brother."

Liu Gao put down the Spring and Autumn Annals in his hand, stood up and helped Dai Zong pat the dust off his body:
"Brother, I have something to say but I don't know whether I should say it or not..."

Dai Zong's heart sank: "Brother, you and I are sworn brothers, what can't we talk about?"

"Brother, the world is so big, there are so many talented people!
“There are always people who are better than you, and there are always mountains who are better than you!”

Liu Gao said to Dai Zong in a sincere tone:
“Brother, you have extraordinary skills and have never met an opponent before, so it’s hard for me to say.

“Now that we have met our match, my brother has spoken.

"In fact, you should learn from a master and improve yourself."

Dai Zong breathed a sigh of relief and then sighed:

"I want to, too!

"It's just that it's hard to find a famous teacher, and it's hard to get the opportunity..."

"How about I recommend you one person?"

Liu Gao had actually wanted to say it a long time ago, but seeing Dai Zong was quite proud of his magical speed, it was difficult to say it, so he took the opportunity to say it:
"My second brother Gongsun Sheng is known as Ruyunlong in the martial arts world!
"I learned from Luo Zhenren of Erxian Mountain, who can call the wind and rain, and ride on the clouds!

"If you take him as your master, you will definitely learn the true Dharma!"

"most!"

Dai Zong was very happy.

In fact, he had long wanted to become Gongsun Sheng's disciple, but he had no relationship with Gongsun Sheng.

Gongsun Sheng was in a coma most of the time, so he had no chance to become his disciple... Besides, what if Gongsun Sheng didn't want to accept him as a disciple and rejected him, where would he put his face?
Now, Liu Gao is Gongsun Sheng’s elder brother.

With Liu Gao acting as a matchmaker, Gongsun Sheng will definitely not refuse!

"Thank you for your help, brother!"

Dai Zong excitedly bowed to Liu Gao!

[Dai Zong's favorability +10000! ]

"My brother, why are you so polite?"

Liu Gao helped Dai Zong up with both hands:

"Since you are willing, wait for my second brother to come and I will help you make the connection."

Dai Zong nodded vigorously:

"most!"

……

On the road leading to Zhaode Prefecture, Song Jiang, Wu Yong, Chao Gai and Chai Jin fled with their remaining troops.

Originally they had 10,000 troops, but their numbers continued to decline due to the deaths, injuries, and escapes.

Now they were almost at Zhaode Prefecture, and even without calling out names, Song Jiang looked back and saw that there were still 1,800 people.

That's horrible!
Song Jiang had tears welling up in his eyes:

After working hard for half a year, I am back to where I was before!

When they reached an open space, the entire army stopped to rest.

Wu Yong lowered his voice and said to Song Jiang and the others:

"Brothers, I have something to say but I don't know whether I should say it or not..."

Although Song Jiang was about to collapse, his face remained calm:

"Brother, you can say whatever you want."

Wu Yong covered his mouth with his goose feather fan and said:

"The king has fallen into the hands of the dog officials. Can Zhaode Mansion defend itself?"

Chao Gai frowned and asked, "What does Shangshu mean?"

Wu Yong said solemnly:
"I mean, Jin has lost its king and only has one city left...

"I'm afraid the Zhaode Prefecture garrison is also demoralized!
"How can we defend it if the imperial army attacks us?"

"good."

Chai Jin nodded in agreement:

"Without a king in Jin, the soldiers don't know why they are fighting..."

"It makes sense."

Song Jiang stroked his mustache:
"Do you have any reason, brothers?"

"There's only one way to solve this problem."

Wu Yong waved his goose feather fan and looked towards the direction of Fenyang Prefecture:

“Unite with Fenyang Prefecture and attack Weisheng Prefecture from both sides.

"Only in this way can we regain lost territory and regroup."

Song Jiang hesitated for two seconds:
"You mean to say that we should make Tian Bao our king?"

Chao Gai was stunned when he heard this:

"Isn't it?

"Tian Bao committed treason, we just chased him away..."

"But this is probably our best option."

Song Jiang supported Wu Yong's idea:

“Otherwise, without the king, Zhaodefu would not be able to defend itself as an isolated city.

“Although Tian Bao committed treason, the king had not yet ascended the throne.

"In terms of seniority, Tian Bao is the best!

"Now that Jin State has reached this point, someone must step up to take the lead!
"Besides Tian Bao, who else?"

"Well……"

Chao Gai was speechless after hearing what Song Jiang said.

Chai Jin also agreed:

"In that case, when we get to Zhaode Prefecture, we will tell the garrison commander to support Tian Bao."
