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

Chapter 722 Liu Gao: So your name is Wang Yuhou? [1 more]

Cai Jing stroked his beard and shook his head and said:

"The emperor has sent you to Liangshanpo to recruit people for peace. Once there, do not lose the order of the court or disrupt the laws of the country.

"Have you ever heard of the Analects saying -

"'If one behaves with dignity and does not disgrace the king's orders when sent to the four directions, he can be called an envoy.'"

Chen Zongshan: "Zongshan knows everything. I will accept your instructions, Grand Master."

Cai Jing waved his hand and Li Yuhou took two steps forward.

Cai Jing then said, “I will send Li Yuhou to accompany you.

"He has saved many laws, and he is afraid that you may not see them everywhere, so he will help you."

Chen Zongshan: "I am deeply grateful for your kindness."

After leaving the Grand Tutor's Mansion, Chen Zongshan took Li Yuhou on a sedan chair and went home. Just as they were resting, the doorman came to report:
"Tong Shumi dismounted."

Chen Zongshen came out hurriedly to greet him and invited him to sit in the hall.

After the greetings were over, Tong Guan said seriously:
“Blah blah blah…

"When the Grand Commandant goes there, I have a subordinate named Wang Yuhou.

"He is good at speaking and can answer ten questions with one question. He is good at helping the general to make arrangements."

Chen Zongshan: "I am grateful for the Prime Minister's concern."

Tong Guan stood up, and Chen Zongshan saw him off to the front of the mansion and watched him mount his horse.

The next day, Chen Zongshen set out on the road and arrived in Yunzhou.

Liu Gao then invited him to his house and set a banquet for him.

"Lieutenant, please!"

Liu Gao asked Chen Zongshan to sit down and looked at Li Yuhou.

Li Yuhou smiled and squinted his eyes:

Good brother, it’s me again!
Liu Gao nodded with a smile and looked at Wang Yuhou again.

Wang Yuhou, however, was arrogant with a bulging belly and did not take Liu Gao seriously at all.

As the saying goes, a prime minister’s servant is a seventh-rank official.

Wang Yuhou felt that as Tong Guan's confidant, he was definitely more powerful than the prefect!

So your name is Wang Yuhou?
Liu Gao looked at him deeply:
You have a way to die!
The main reason is not that Wang Yuhou and Liu Gao are showing off, but that Xu Ning, who was harmed by Wang Yuhou, is now in Liangshan.

When the enemies meet, I don’t know if Xu Ning can hold back.

After a glass of wine, Liu Gao talked to Chen Zongshan about the issue of amnesty, and gave Chen Zongshan a serious suggestion:
"In my humble opinion, the best option is to recruit them.

"It's just that when the general arrives at Liangshanpo, he must be more friendly and use sweet words to comfort the people.

"Whether good or bad, as long as the great cause is accomplished, the general will leave a good name for eternity.

"He has a few hot-tempered men among his people. If you offend them with a single word, it will ruin everything..."

Wang Yuhou sneered:
"Let the two of us follow the commander, and we won't be late.

"Liu Zhizhou, you just need to be careful and kind, otherwise you will disrupt the court's rules and regulations.

"These rebels must be suppressed. If they are not suppressed, they will be arrogant!"

So you are very brave!

Liu Gao smiled slightly:
“Wang Yuhou’s words make sense.

"In that case, tomorrow we'll see how Wang Yuhou performs!"

"Easy to say, easy to say!"

When Wang Yuhou was feeling proud, he did not forget Li Yuhou, who was sent by Cai Jing, and he also boasted to Li Yuhou:

"Leave us two alone, and not a drop of water will leak out!"

Liu Gao gave a thumbs up vigorously:

"Shezha!"

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Liu Gao stood up and went out to change his clothes.

Li Yuhou followed him out stealthily.

"Brother, Wang Yuhou came here on the orders of Tong Guan."

Li Yuhou saw that there was no one around, so he secretly communicated with Liu Gao:
"But in my opinion, his mission is different from mine..."

Liu Gao smiled and asked, "What is your mission?"

Li Yuhou said without hiding anything:
"Before I came here, the Grand Tutor told me that the first thing I should do is to facilitate the amnesty." Liu Gao nodded.

Li Yuhou said: "The second is to alienate the heroes of Liangshan.

“Win over those who have served in government positions and try to attract these heroes.

“If we can’t stop them, we have to create a rift between them and the heroes who came from the grassroots.”

Liu Gao's eyes twitched twice: This move is quite vicious!
Li Yuhou finally lowered his voice and said:

“No matter how many younger brothers I have, I don’t know. The Grand Master may have other plans.

"Brother, do you have anything to tell me?"

Liu Gao gave him a meaningful look:
"You can do the first thing, but don't do the second thing."

"hiss!"

Li Yuhou vaguely guessed something, but he was not sure.

When Li Yuhou made eye contact with Liu Gao, his heart trembled and he quickly agreed:

"Don't worry, brother. I will definitely help them recruit you, but I will never alienate the heroes of Liangshan!
"I will tell you everything Wang Yuhou does!"

"very good."

Liu Gao smiled and stuffed a silver ingot into Li Yuhou's pocket:
"We'll keep in touch if anything happens in the future."

Is there any silver left?

Li Yuhou pinched the silver, which was fifty taels of silver, and immediately felt warm in his heart:

My brother could have gotten it for free, but he actually gave me money!

He really made me cry to death!
……

Day two.

Chen Zongshan was good at riding a horse, while Li Yuhou and Wang Yuhou walked in front of the horses, with more than three or two hundred followers following behind them.

Liu Gao sent a team of people led by Yue Fei to walk in front to lead the way and to show off their skills.

Chen Zongshan and his companions originally thought that someone from Liangshanpo would come to greet them, but who knew that they would walk to the edge of the lake...

Lu Fang and Guo Sheng led 500 men and horses and waited by the water.

And he was riding on a horse, not kneeling.

You should know that in the original novel, Xiao Rang first came to greet them with wine and fruits twenty miles away.

Afterwards, Xiao Rang, Pei Xuan, Lu Fang and Guo Sheng followed halfway and knelt by the roadside to greet them.

Even so, Zhang Ganban still cursed.

It is conceivable how furious Wang Yuhou is at the scene set up by Liangshanpo.

Wang Yuhou's feet were worn out from walking, and his throat was so dry that smoke came out of his mouth. He couldn't help cursing:

"Who is your Liu Nengda like?

"The Emperor's decree has arrived, why don't you come to receive it in person?
“This is really deceiving you!
"You guys deserve to die, how can you accept the imperial court's offer of amnesty!
"Please go back, Commander!"

Not only Lu Fang and Guo Sheng, but even Yue Fei's face changed drastically when he heard this, and he wished he could stab him to death:

My brother is such a kind and righteous man, how dare you, a guy like you, slander him?

Yue Fei is now playing the role of the government army, so he cannot do this, but Lu Fang has already done so.

"Shh-"

Lu Fang attacked as fast as the wind, and the Fang Tian Hua Ji hit Wang Yuhou's neck with lightning speed:
"Who do you say deserves to die?"

Liu Gao is not Song Jiang!
The Liangshan heroes were trained by Song Jiang to be submissive, but the same group of people were trained by Liu Gao to be as fierce as wolves and tigers!
In the original novel, Lu Fang only dared to kneel on the ground and plead guilty:

"Since the imperial court had never issued an edict to the camp, the real thing had not been seen. Song Jiang and the leaders, both big and small, were all at the Golden Beach to welcome him.

"I hope the general will calm down his wrath for now. As long as it is good for the country, I will forgive you."

Now, Lu Fang kills people if he disagrees with something!
If Wang Yuhou dared to utter a word that he shouldn't, Lu Fang would pierce his throat with his halberd!
"hiss--"

Everyone couldn't help but gasp:
Hey man, are you serious?

Wang Yuhou was so frightened that his face turned pale. He introduced himself calmly:
"I am Wang Yuhou, a subordinate of the Prime Minister!

"You, you dare to kill me?"

"You are called Wang Yuhou?"

Lu Fang, who was originally full of murderous intent, looked at Wang Yuhou and retracted his Fang Tian Hua Ji:
"If you dare to speak such nonsense again, don't blame me for being cruel and ruthless!"

Wang Yuhou blinked his eyes:
what's the situation?
After I introduced myself, was he scared?
