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

Chapter 719 Liu Gao: 1 vs or , the advantage is mine! [ more]

After Su Yuanjing delivered his order, he looked at Liu Gao eagerly:

No, aren’t you going to show some filial piety this time?
In the end, he thought too much. Liu Gao kept saying "goodbye" and kept chasing him away...

Next time I come here I will be a dog!

Su Yuanjing left with a lot of resentment.

Liu Gao turned around and started chatting with Lin Chong who came out from behind the screen:
"Fifth brother, it looks like we're going to have to fight again."

Lin Chong is no longer the Wuxia Amon of the past. Besides, with Liu Gao around, Lin Chong is full of confidence:
"Brother, just tell me how to fight!"

Liu Gao smiled and said, "It's easy. Just deal with the Eight Supervisors and it's done."

The "Eight Military Governors" are far inferior to the "Ten Jiedu", just like their ranks are far different.

In the original novel, all eight supervisors were killed in battle.

Wang Yi, the military commander of Dengzhou, was killed instantly by Suo Chao.

Han Tianlin, the military commander of Tangzhou, was killed instantly by Dong Ping.

Duan Pengju, the military commander of Suizhou, was hacked to death by Li Kui with an axe.

Wu Bingyi, the military commander of Chenzhou, fought with Shi Jin for more than thirty rounds and was killed by Shi Jin with a single blow.

Songzhou's military commander Zhou Xin was knocked off his horse by Zhang Qing's flying stone, and Gong Wangding got the finishing blow from Sun.

Ma Wanli, the military commander of Luzhou, fought with Lin Chong for several rounds and then killed him with a spear.

Chen Zhu, the military commander of Zhengzhou, was beaten to death by Qin Ming with a stick in twenty rounds.

Li Ming, the military commander of Xuzhou, fought with Yang Zhi for more than thirty rounds and was killed by Yang Zhi with a single blow.

The strongest ones here are Chen Zhu and Li Ming.

But in Liangshanpo, they are only at the level of the "Eighteen Warriors" and are nothing to be afraid of.

Liu Gao thought for a moment and said, "Fifth brother, we only need to do this..."

Lin Chong nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

Xu Ning's pupils were shaking beside him:
Good guy!
Can the war still be fought like this?

……

While Liu Gao was waiting for the eight eunuchs to gather in Yunzhou, Zhou Ang, the former deputy instructor of the 800,000 imperial guards in Tokyo, the commander of the Right Guards, and the general of chariots and cavalry, succeeded Liu Gao as the chief of Pingnan.

Zhou Ang thought he was here to pick peaches, but to his surprise, peaches had their own ideas...

Zhou Ang first arrived in Yangzhou, but Yangzhou was managed like an iron plate by Huang Wenbing.

Zhou Ang found that he could do nothing in Yangzhou, so he had to go to Runzhou.

Runzhou was managed by Xu Ding like an iron plate, and he still couldn't do anything.

Zhou Ang went to Changzhou and Suzhou successively, but he could not do anything in Changzhou and Suzhou either.

As a paratrooper, he encountered obstacles everywhere.

Even if we complain to Emperor Huizong of Song, it would be too far away.

How easy would it be for him to break the ice in Liu Gao's territory by himself?

Feeling bad, Zhou Ang went to Taihu Lake to relax.

After spending a huge amount of money to buy a pleasure boat with several courtesans on board, Zhou Ang decided to indulge himself.

As Taihu Lake had beautiful scenery, Zhou Ang ordered the pleasure boat to move toward the center of the lake.

After a few miles, the boatman refused to move forward:

"Sir, we can't go any further!
"I heard that a large number of pirates have recently arrived in Taihu Lake..."

"So what if it's a pirate?"

Zhou Ang had drunk some wine and was surrounded by beauties, so how could he take the Taihu pirates seriously?
He laughed disapprovingly: "I am braver than ten thousand men!
"If any pirate dares to come, I will kill him!
"Come on, two of you, I'll kill a pair!"

He was originally a fierce general, with a dignified and majestic appearance, so this statement is indeed convincing.

Seeing his heroic spirit, several courtesans were aroused by him and flirted with him.

The boatman still refused, so Zhou Ang used his money ability and slapped a gold ingot on the table:
"Would you like to go?"

The boatman hesitated: "This..." Zhou Ang continued to use his money ability and slapped another gold ingot on the table:
"Would you like to go?"

Several courtesans were deeply impressed by Zhou Ang's ability to make money, and they all spoke up for him.

Finally, when Zhou Ang bid for the third ingot of gold, the boatman made a difficult decision:

"……Walk!"

In fact, the boatman had never encountered pirates from Taihu Lake. He just heard that a large wave of pirates had arrived in Taihu Lake.

But it was just hearsay, after all, there was no news of pirates killing people and robbing.

So the boatman bravely steered the pleasure boat towards the center of the lake, praying that he would not encounter pirates.

As a result, the more they feared something, the more it would come to pass. Soon they saw a small boat flying towards them like an arrow.

Standing at the bow was a burly man about eight feet tall!

He has thick eyebrows, big eyes, a red face, and a face full of big beard, each of which is as black, thick and hard as iron wire!
He pointed the harpoon at the pleasure boat and shouted:
"Who dares to come and explore my water fort?"

Bitter!

The boatman was about to answer with a bitter look on his face, but Zhou Ang, who had drunk too much, confidently counterattacked:
"I am the deputy instructor of Tokyo's 800,000 Imperial Guards, the commander of the Right Guards, and the General of Chariots and Cavalry.

"Zhou Ang!
"Get out of here right now if you know what's best for you!"

He was already in a depressed mood and wanted to vent, and a few of the courtesans catered to his needs, so he was already drunk.

"Such a high-ranking official?"

The red-faced man looked back at his two brothers:

"How about taking this drunkard and presenting him to my brother?"

"brute!"

Zhou Ang got up drunk and walked to the side of the boat, pointing at the red-faced man and yelling:
"Get out of here right now while I'm in a good mood!

"Otherwise, ugh—"

Zhou Ang was already drunk, the boat was rocking, the lake breeze was strong, and he couldn't help but talk nonstop.

The red-faced man jumped over, grabbed Zhou Ang, who was clinging to the railing and vomiting, and threw him into the lake!

Zhou Ang: “Tons, tons, tons, tons…”

The red-faced man laughed loudly:
"What? Deputy instructor of Tokyo's 800,000 Imperial Guards, commander of the Right Guards, general of chariots and cavalry—

"That's it? That's it?"

……

The eight eunuchs have finally arrived.

Liu Gao, who originally had only 3,000 soldiers and horses left, suddenly had 80,000 more soldiers and horses.

Suizhou's military commander Duan Pengju, Zhengzhou's military commander Chen Zhu, Chenzhou's military commander Wu Bingyi, Tangzhou's military commander Han Tianlin, Xuzhou's military commander Li Ming, Dengzhou's military commander Wang Yi, Luzhou's military commander Ma Wanli, and Songzhou's military commander Zhou Xin went to the central army tent to meet Liu Gao.

"I greet you, sir!"

The eight supervisors had long heard of the name of Shandong's number one tiger minister.

Although Liu Gao suffered a defeat, his previous contributions were so great that he still had a halo on his head for the Eight Commanders.

"Generals, you have arrived just in time."

Liu Gao told them confidently:
"It just so happened that the Liangshan rebels issued a challenge yesterday and agreed to a decisive battle three days later.

"We will have a decisive battle with them in three days!"

Duan Pengju couldn't help but ask Liu Gao: "Sir, do you want to arrange the tactics?"

"What tactics do we need to plan?"

Liu Gao looked at him like he was an idiot:
"I would have been defeated by him before because I had fewer soldiers and was outnumbered!
"Secondly, they relied on the geographical advantage of Liangshan Lake!

"Now that they have given up their geographical advantage and are coming out to fight us, what tactics do we still need to plan?
"The Liangshan rebels only have 20,000 to 30,000 troops, while our army has 80,000!

"Eighty thousand versus twenty or thirty thousand. The advantage is on my side!"

When Badujian heard this, he said: Sir, you are right!
