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

Chapter 641: Lu Shi Nang: It's terrible that the little cotton-padded jacket is leaking air! [1 more]

Fang Jinzhi suddenly remembered something very important, and quickly put her mouth close to Liu Gao's ear and said:
"My father's alliance with you is fake!
"Actually, I was the one who lied to Brother Jie, blah blah blah..."

"That's fine."

Liu Gao waved his goose feather fan and laughed:
"The key is that your father does have this need."

Fang Jinzhi blinked her big, watery eyes:

"Have it?"

“Maybe not.”

Liu Gao simply placed the wine bowls in front of the people:
“By the time I get to Suzhou, he’ll have it.

"If Suzhou still fails, I will go to Hangzhou.

"We haven't even reached Hangzhou yet. If I continue, we'll reach his capital, Qingxi.

“When I arrived at Qingxi, he was still not there, so I went into the city alone to ask for marriage!

“Fighting Qingxi proves that I have the strength to ask for marriage!
“I came into the city alone to prove that I am sincere in seeking marriage!
"Are you afraid that your father-in-law will not agree to our marriage?"

Xiu'er!

Lu Shinang couldn't help but want to give applause to the social people:

This operation is simply unique!

Fang Jie was stunned: "This... Doesn't it mean my uncle is going to destroy the country?"

"Don't worry, it can't be destroyed."

Liu Gao confidently pointed at the wine bowl representing Suzhou:
“In my opinion, my father-in-law will need to form an alliance at this point.

"At that time, I went to ask my father-in-law for marriage as Xiao Xuande."

In fact, marrying Fang Jinzhi and forming an alliance with Fang La was a shortcut.

Fang La's army is strong and powerful, making him the toughest nut to crack among the four major bandits.

In the original novel, Song Jiang did not lose any of his brothers when he attacked the Liao Kingdom.

As a result, fifty-nine heroes were killed in the fight against Fang La!

Among them are generals such as Qin Ming, Xu Ning, Dong Ping and Suo Chao!
Ten brave men died of illness on the road!

This also includes generals such as Lin Chong, Yang Zhi, and Yang Xiong!
Another Lu Zhishen passed away and a disabled Wu Song became a monk!
The loss was unprecedented in Liangshanpo.

Liu Gao felt that Fang La had some metaphysics in him. After all, the original novel said:
It turns out that Fang La responded to the heavenly book, and the "Tui Bei Tu" says:
"Since the ten thousand plus a little, he was honored at the end of winter. He crossed the Zhejiang River and showed his mark in Wuxing."

The ten thousand is ten thousand, and adding a dot at the beginning makes it the word square.

The end of winter is the La Festival.

The one who is called Venerable is the one who sits facing south as the king.

It just corresponds to the two words "Fang La", occupying eight counties in the south of the Yangtze River.

Whether Song Jiang was fighting the Liao Kingdom, Tian Hu, or Wang Qing, the number of the 108 generals never decreased.

The only difference was when fighting Fang La, it was as if the destiny had been lost, and several people had to die in every chapter.

Of course, Liu Gao is not Song Jiang.

But why go through so much trouble if there is a shortcut?
The most important thing is that Fang Jinzhi is Liu Gao's woman, so there is no need for Liu Gao to fight Fang La to the death.

Let’s first take over a few of my father-in-law’s states and then form an alliance. We can talk about the rest later.

"My wife, Brother Jie, please go back to Qingxi first and keep an eye on my father-in-law's movements for me."

Liu Gao gave Fang Jinzhi and Fang Jie a difficult task:

"I'm attacking my father-in-law's territory here.

“As long as you see my father-in-law getting anxious, you can add fuel to the fire and persuade him to form an alliance with me.

“My father-in-law has agreed, so please send someone to inform me immediately.

"I'm going to Qingxi to ask for marriage with my father-in-law."

"Brother, don't worry!"

Fang Jie patted his pectoralis major and said, "Leave everything to me!"

"Sir, I'll be waiting for you in Qingxi!"

Fang Jinzhi lowered her head after she finished speaking, her face flushed and her lips pursed, her hands interlocked with Liu Gao's. It was terrible that the little cotton jacket was leaking air...

Lü Shinang watched from the side and shook his head secretly:

This elbow is bent at the heel!

……

Liu Gao kept Huang Wenbing in Yangzhou and asked him to handle the government affairs of Yangzhou on his behalf.

Gongsun Sheng, Sun An, Qin Ming, Shan Shiqi, Tang Bin, Huang Xin, Yue Fei, Tang Huai, Zhang Xian, Wang Gui, Shi Qian, Jie Zhen, Jie Bao, Li Jun, Tong Wei and Tong Meng, Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun, the three Ruan brothers, Huangfu Duan, Dai Zong, Yan Qing as well as Hua Yueniang, Hu Sanniang and Qiu Qiongying all went to Runzhou to meet up with Liu Gao.

Yangzhou originally had 5,000 troops, and Liu Gao brought another 5,000 troops.

In addition to the 1,000 navy from Liangshanpo, the 1,000 navy recruited by Li Jun and Wang Heng, the 2,000 surrendered soldiers from Chen's families, and the 5,000 surrendered soldiers from Runzhou, there were a total of 19,000 troops.

Two thousand remained in Yangzhou, and the remaining seventeen thousand were all taken to Runzhou.

There are 25,000 surrendered soldiers in Runzhou, which adds up to 42,000 troops.

With the support of Lu Shinang, Liu Gao reorganized these 42,000 troops.

With Lu Shinang's support, it was impossible for Gao Keli, Zhang Jinren, Shen Gang and Xu Tong, the four surrendered generals, to sing a different tune.

But reorganization alone is not enough. To truly digest the surrendered soldiers, it depends on our brothers.

What made Liu Gao happy was that Qin Ming and Huang Xin came from the military and were both high-ranking commanders.

Although Sun An, Shan Shiqi and Tang Bin came from humble backgrounds, they had gained experience in commanding troops over the years.

Even the young Yue Fei showed his talent as a commander.

In order to train Yue Fei's practical skills, Liu Gao specially allocated a thousand troops to Yue Fei.

As a result, Yue Fei managed to keep these thousand troops under his control, and he was worthy of being the future god of war.

Liu Gao planned to give Yue Fei more responsibilities after he captured Changzhou.

In addition, Liu Gao decided to transfer another group of brave men to support the situation.

Now Liu Gao only has Sun An, Shan Shiqi, Qin Ming and Yue Fei who are capable of fighting, which doesn't seem very safe.

So, taking advantage of the time to integrate the surrendered soldiers, Liu Gao sent Dai Zong to recruit people.

Guan Sheng comes from Taihang Mountain.

Dengyun Mountain was incorporated into Wutou City, and Wutou City was temporarily guarded by Sun Li, Le He, Zou Yuan, Zou Run and Duan Jingzhu.

Wu Song, Shi Xiu, Shan Tinggui and Wei Dingguo led their troops to Runzhou.

With Guan Sheng as the cavalry general and Wu Song as the infantry general, Liu Gao's sense of security was greatly enhanced.

Three days later.

Qingxi County, Bangyuan Cave.

Fang La’s palace was built in this Bangyuan Cave.

No one knows how big this cave is. Not only was a palace built there, but there were also 30,000 imperial guards stationed there.

The eunuch Pu Wenying, the chief astronomer, had a sudden inspiration and climbed up the observatory built for him by Fang La to observe the celestial phenomena at night.

Pu Wenying lives a comfortable life.

Because Fang La carried the mandate of heaven, he was always successful.

So every time he observed the celestial phenomena at night, they were always beautiful, and gradually he became lazy.

Humming a little tune nonchalantly, Pu Wenying climbed up to the observatory and looked up at the starry sky as usual:

Wait!
Something doesn't seem right!
Pu Wenying's face changed:
"not good!
"A few powerful stars have entered the Wu area, and it looks like they are causing quite a bit of trouble!

"Wait!

"That big star shines especially brightly..."

Pu Wenying opened his eyes wide and carefully distinguished what was happening. The next second, he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood:

"puff--"

The old man fell straight down on the observatory!
His eyes were wide open, filled with fear!
Soon, Fang La, who was favoring his concubine, received an urgent report:

"Your Majesty, the eunuch Pu Wenying was observing the celestial phenomena tonight. For some reason, he muttered to himself for a few sentences and then died of bleeding!"

Fang La kicked the concubine off the dragon bed, sat up suddenly, and screamed in disbelief!
