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

Chapter 70 Lu Zhishen: I will just hit you with my Zen stick!

[Lu Zhishen's favorability +5000! ]

[Congratulations to the master and Lu Zhishen for becoming sworn brothers! ]

Finally upgraded!
Liu Gao suddenly realized:
No wonder Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Liu Bei remained inseparable for decades after they became sworn brothers!
In fact, there is not so much love at first sight!
It’s simply because of a common goal that lives are tied together!

Of course, eating from the same bowl, sleeping in the same bed, fighting side by side, and sharing life and death also strengthened their relationship.

Liu Gao and Lu Zhishen already had an emotional foundation, and now they have a common goal, so it is normal for their relationship to upgrade.

It's a natural outcome.

It would be even better if the relationship was upgraded to a sworn brotherhood, and Liu Gao would feel more at ease with Lu Zhishen.

"Oh, by the way, I have a little immature suggestion."

Liu Gao is not a military fan, but he wants to share with his brothers some of the things he learned during military training before traveling through time:
"I read it in ancient books. It is said that Wei Qing and Huo Qubing trained their troops in this way.

"Training must focus on several basic movements: at ease, standing at attention, marching in step, running and walking...

"Blah blah blah, standing at attention is also very important. No matter it's windy or rainy, you must stand there and not move...

"On the surface, it seems to be teaching them standard movements and training their will, but in fact it is to cultivate obedience...

"The most important thing for soldiers is obedience. Only when they follow orders can they have cohesion and combat effectiveness...

Sharing everything he knows, Liu Gao said:

"What I said may not be right, just watch it.

“Take the essence and discard the dross.

"You can learn from what you think is right, and don't learn from what you think is wrong.

“This is just a little immature suggestion from me.

"You are the professionals. I won't interfere with you."

"Brother, Gao!"

Lu Zhishen, Wu Song and Hua Rong all gave a thumbs up. They were dizzy but felt it was impressive!
As to whether they really understood, Liu Gao didn't know.

But this is not important, suitability is the most important.

Liu Gao believed that what they could understand must be suitable for this era.

Things that are beyond this era are not necessarily good.

After all, Liu Gao had only received military training at school and was not a professional.

[Lu Zhishen's favorability +100! ]

Oh open!

It seems that Lu Zhishen understood, but not much.

"Report——"

Just when Liu Gao was bragging to his brothers, a scout came back to report the military situation:

"My lord, the Peach Blossom Mountain bandits Li Zhong and Zhou Tong and the Qingfeng Mountain remnant Wang Ying have joined forces and stationed in Erlong Mountain!"

"what?"

Liu Gao frowned:
Great!
He originally thought that after the death of Deng Long, the golden-eyed tiger of Erlong Mountain, the bandits of Erlong Mountain had become a loose sand.

So Liu Gao was not in a hurry at all and planned to keep it for Lu Zhishen, Wu Song and Hua Rong to train their troops.

After all, training soldiers to a certain level requires actual combat, and the leaderless Erlongshan bandits are just the right time to strike hard.

But no one expected that Li Zhong and Zhou Tong would abandon Taohua Mountain and go to Erlong Mountain with Wang Aihu!

Li Zhong, Zhou Tong and Wang Aihu are all rookies, and Liu Gao now doesn't take them seriously at all.

But Erlong Mountain is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If they insist on defending Erlong Mountain, it will be really difficult to deal with them...

"Brother, I once followed Huang Xin, the military commander of our state, to attack Erlong Mountain."

Hua Rong introduced to Liu Gao: "Golden Eyed Tiger Deng Long is the abbot of Baozhu Temple in Erlong Mountain. He returned to secular life and became a bandit. His stronghold is located in Baozhu Temple.

"The Erlong Mountain is very majestic, with two mountains surrounding it, enclosing the temple. There is only one road leading up to it.

“There are three passes on this road, it’s really dangerous!

“He only needs to guard these three passes, and even ten thousand soldiers and horses won’t be able to get up there!

"Huang Xin returned with a failure..."

"What's so difficult about this?"

Lu Zhishen had never been defeated at Erlong Mountain, so he patted his pectoralis major with courage and confidence:

"I'll just keep hitting him with my Zen stick!

"Not to mention three levels, even thirty or three hundred levels can't stop me!"

This is probably what the legendary braggart meets an acquaintance...

In the original novel, you didn't pass any level! Liu Gao's mouth twitched twice secretly. He really couldn't bear to dampen Lu Zhishen's enthusiasm, so he could only persuade him tactfully:

"Second brother, the terrain of Erlong Mountain is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Even if we attack by force, I don't know how many casualties will occur!
"In this case, we can only take advantage of it through wits, not force..."

"Why bother so much, bro!"

Lu Zhishen was impatient to begin with, and eager to show off, he stood up and said:
"I will only bring 300 men from the Wutian Camp with me. I guarantee that we will capture Erlong Mountain within three days!"

Wu Song wanted to persuade them but he was new here so he couldn't interrupt.

Hua Rong had a good relationship with Lu Zhishen, so he quickly persuaded him:

"Second brother, eldest brother is right!

"Erlong Mountain is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Let's hear how big brother will take it!"

"Humph!"

Lu Zhishen sat down on the ground, hugged his knees with his hands, and turned his face away!

He pouted his mouth and held it in his arms!

[Lu Zhishen’s favorability -1-1-1……]

Good guy!
Liu Gao was also drunk:

If he advises you, you can deduct his favorability points!

You're pulling my hair!

In fact, Lu Zhishen just felt that his brothers did not believe in his ability, but it would not affect their relationship.

Moreover, Liu Gao and his favorability level is over 10,000, and it will take forever to deduct it bit by bit.

But Liu Gao felt that this was not feasible.

Even though the relationship is deep, it will eventually break down if it continues like this.

He had to convince Lu Zhishen.

You have to know that Lu Zhishen is a talented person who learns from every failure!

Even though he had suffered so much in the original novel, he still fell into the trap set by Governor He when he went to Huazhou in the middle period...

I don’t know if Lu Zhishen is the person who fell into the most traps in "Water Margin".

Liu Gao would like to call him: a little expert in falling into traps!

"That's fine!"

Liu Gao hesitated for two seconds:
“Second brother, you train first.

“After some time, you can attack Erlong Mountain again.

"If you can't defeat me, how about I use another trick?"

Lu Zhishen turned his anger into joy, glared at Hua Rong with a smug look, and clasped his fists towards Liu Gao:

"Thank you, brother!"

[Lu Zhishen’s favorability +1+1+1……]

Liu Gao laughed loudly and patted Lu Zhishen on the shoulder.

At this moment, Hua Rong suddenly said, "Brother, Cao Zheng is back!"

"Oh?"

Liu Gao turned his head and saw, as expected, Cao Zheng was walking towards him with his head down.

"Where? Where?"

Lu Zhishen looked around, confused. He also knew Cao Zheng.

Hua Rong was stunned: "Brother has seen it, you..."

At this point Hua Rong suddenly realized that Cao Zheng was actually still very far away, and he had to have good eyesight to see him!

It’s normal for someone like Lu Zhishen not to be able to see it!

Liu Gao could actually see it, this is unscientific!
"I greet my husband, brothers..."

Cao Zheng came over dejectedly to greet Liu Gao, Hua Rong and the others:
"My dear, I have failed to live up to your trust..."

He originally had a good idea. If Lin Chong was willing to come, he would definitely be popular under Liu Gao if he followed Lin Chong.

If Lin Chong was unwilling to come, he could also take advantage of the situation and surrender to Lin Chong and join the Liangshan gang.

However, what he didn't expect was that Lin Chong was unwilling to come, nor was he willing to join Liangshan.

Because Lin Chong was doing so badly in Liangshan, three of the five leaders disliked him...

The only person who treats Lin Chong well is Zhu Gui, the "Han Di Hu Lu" who runs a hotel and is Cao Zheng's competitor.

Once Cao Zheng joins the gang, he will have to compete with Zhu Gui for his job. The question is, can he beat Zhu Gui?
What's more, I heard that he was Lin Chong's apprentice, and the white-clothed scholar Wang Lun's nose was not a nose and his eyes were not eyes...
