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

Chapter 721 Song Huizong: The Liangshan rebels are indeed cruel! [3 more]

Qin Ming was a little slower than Wu Song and smashed Han Tianlin's head with a stick!
In the original novel, Han Tianlin was killed instantly by Dong Ping, and he was also killed instantly when he met Qin Ming who was of the same level.

The third person to fall was Wang Yi.

In the original novel, Wang Yi was killed instantly by Suo Chao, but this time he fought against Zhu Tong for several rounds.

As a result, when he saw that Duan Pengju and Han Tianlin were dead, he panicked.

He could originally hold out for a few more hits, but was stabbed off his horse by Zhu Tong's spear!
As three of them fell one after another, the other five panicked.

Wu Bingyi, Zhou Xin and Ma Wanli were okay, after all, their opponents were not too strong.

Li Ming and Chen Zhu were originally facing Lin Chong and Guan Sheng, two peerless masters.

He could only hold out for a few rounds and was no longer able to fight back.

Seeing that Duan Pengju, Han Tianlin and Wang Yi were all dead, both of them wanted to retreat.

When fighting against peerless masters like Lin Chong and Guan Sheng, being indecisive will mean death.

Lin Chong shouted loudly and knocked Li Ming off his horse with a spear!
Guan Sheng raised his sword and cut off Chen Zhu's head!

At this moment, Wu Bingyi, Zhou Xin and Ma Wanli all lost their minds and hurriedly turned their horses around and withdrew from the battle.

Didn’t we say that only the navy is powerful?

What happened to the agreement that there won’t be anyone who can fight?

My husband, you are a liar!

Big leather swallow!

"Where to go!"

Guan Sheng’s curly-haired red rabbit horse was the fastest, so he caught up first and killed Wu Bingyi from behind with a single blow!
Lin Chong's horse was slower than his, but he also caught up with Zhou Xin and stabbed him down with a spear!

The third fastest one turned out to be Wu Song!

He certainly can't compare to those with horses in long-distance running, but he is fast in sprinting!

He chased after him in a few steps, chopped off Ma Wanli's horse's feet with one knife, and then chopped off Ma Wanli's head with another knife!

It happens suddenly and in a flash!
All eight prisons were wiped out!
Lin Chong pointed his Zhangba Snake Spear at the government troops:
"kill--"

The 40,000-strong Liangshanpo army, with high morale, immediately rushed towards the government troops with a roar!

Liu Gao was still thinking about how to make the 80,000 government troops flee, but the 80,000 government troops had already fled...

That's it!

Without saying a word, Liu Gao turned his horse around, spurred on the horse and rode away, leading the way!
So the government army collapsed completely!

"Hula la la..."

The morale of the 80,000-man army collapsed, and the moment they fled across the board was like rushing out of the examination room after the college entrance examination...

These 80,000 government troops belonged to eight military states respectively. They were temporarily gathered together and were completely a mess.

In addition, it is well known that the combat effectiveness of the government army is the worst in the world of Water Margin, without a doubt.

This escape completely eliminated any resistance.

After a devastating defeat, Liu Gao fled to Yuncheng County.

A little number of people, less than 20,000...

Good guy!
Am I such a spendthrift?
Liu Gao felt a little embarrassed:

If this continues for a few times, the number of Liangshanpo’s troops will be less than 100,000…

Yue Fei asked Liu Gao: "Brother, what should we do next?"

Liu Gao sat in the magistrate's seat, fanning himself with a goose feather fan and chuckling:
"Of course I will continue to ask for help."

Yue Fei blinked his big eyes and said, "Brother, will the government send reinforcements?"

Liu Gao: "If he dares to send, I dare to deliver."

Yue Fei: "What if he doesn't dare to send?"

Liu Gao raised a playful smile:

"Then it's time to recruit them..."

……

Tokyo, Purple Palace.

"Failed again?"

Song Huizong couldn't believe his ears:

"What does Liu Gao do for a living?
"It was fine that he lost to the Liangshan rebels with only 8,000 troops last time, but now 80,000 troops are not enough for him to fight?" "You still dare to say that you are the best general in Shandong..."

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

Li Gang quickly spoke up for Liu Gao:
"Victory and defeat are common in the military. Even Tong Shumi's 130,000-man army was defeated..."

Are you going to die or not?

Tong Guan's face turned green.

But because Li Gang was telling the truth, he had to come out to support Liu Gao:
"Your Majesty, the Liangshan rebels are indeed cruel..."

As the saying goes, it takes three people to buy a tiger. The imperial court had attacked Liangshanpo so many times that Song Huizong couldn't even remember.

Song Huizong couldn't remember how many times he had heard "The Liangshan rebels are indeed cruel"...

The two most recent ones were what he remembered most clearly.

One time, Tong Guan's 130,000-strong army was defeated at Liangshanpo.

Another time was when Liu Gao's 80,000-strong army was defeated at Liangshanpo.

Such a huge failure and so many lives lost seemed to be just to prove to him that "the Liangshan rebels are indeed cruel"!
When Song Huizong heard about Liangshanpo before, the first thing he thought of was to suppress the bandits. Now, Song Huizong doesn't even dare to think about it...

The Song Dynasty claimed to have 800,000 imperial guards. Even if it was a real 800,000, they couldn't withstand such a force!

It took an army of 210,000 to capture Liangshanpo. What if the Liao or Jin Kingdom marched south?
It's a serious injury!

Song Huizong no longer wanted to suppress the bandits:

What's the point of wiping them out? If you continue to wiping them out, all the wealth I have will be wiped out!

But you guys gave me an idea!
Who said surrender last time? Come out and take a look!
The last person who proposed the amnesty was the Imperial Censor Cui Jing, but after being scolded by Emperor Huizong of Song, he dared not propose it again.

Cui Jing was beaten by Emperor Huizong of Song for being the first to stand out, and no civil or military official dared to mention amnesty again.

So at this moment, when Song Huizong asked what to do, the Purple Palace was completely silent...

It has to be Cai Jing!
Cai Jing observed the emperor's words and expressions and happened to meet Song Huizong's eyes.

Song Huizong winked and Cai Jing nodded slightly:

understood!

Cai Jing then understood what he meant and came out:
"Your Majesty, I heard that a large banner was erected on Liangshan Lake, with the words 'Carrying out Justice on Behalf of Heaven' written on it...

"Blah blah blah, if a royal edict is issued, the Guanglu Temple will grant imperial wine and delicacies, and send a minister to Liangshanpo to persuade them to surrender with kind words...

"Blah blah blah, I beg your Majesty for your approval!"

Ah!
Cui Jing lowered his head with a sneer on his face:

follow me?

I was scolded by His Majesty last time, and you still dare to imitate me?

Not only Cui Jing, but most of the civil and military officials thought that Cai Jing was an idiot this time.

However, what everyone did not expect was that Song Huizong nodded with a smile:

"Your words are very true, and they are exactly what I want!"

I'm...

Everyone, including Cui Jing, couldn't help but gasp:
Your Majesty, you have changed!

You weren't like this before!

Cui Jing: Your Majesty, I still like your rebellious look at the beginning. How about you recover a little?
Song Huizong had immediately decided to send another palace commander, Chen Zongshen, as an envoy, carrying the imperial edict and imperial wine, to recruit the people of Liangshanpo, both large and small.

It is said that Chen Zongshan received the imperial edict, returned to his mansion and packed up.

Li Gang came to congratulate him:
"The purpose of the general's trip is, first, to serve the country, and second, to relieve the people's worries and eliminate harm to the military and civilians.

"Liangshanpo is based on loyalty and righteousness, and is just waiting for the imperial court to recruit us.

"Taiwei, please use some sweet words and show some concern for him. Leave this good name for generations to come."

Chen Zongshan nodded repeatedly. As he was speaking, someone from the Grand Tutor's Mansion came to invite him:

"The Grand Master invites the Grand Commandant to speak."

Chen Zongshen got into the sedan chair and got off in front of the Grand Tutor's Mansion on Xinsongmen Street.

Gan Ren led him directly into the academy in the hall, met the Grand Master, and sat down beside him.

After the tea, Cai Jing told him:

"Bala, bala, bala..."
