Chapter 729 Song Jiang: The South is in our pocket! [Update 2]

Because they had successfully recruited the amnesty, Liangshanpo held a grand banquet, and everyone was beaming with joy as they had finally made it through.

The two most cheerful people here are not the heroes of Liangshan.

One is Zhou Tong and the other is mother-in-law.

Once Liangshanpo surrendered, all of Liu Gao's power was wiped out.

Zhou Tong's disciple and his mother-in-law's son can now walk between heaven and earth with integrity!
In the original work, Zhou Tong was about to die of old age.

But in Liangshanpo, he took the tiger whip health-preserving pills specially prepared for him by An Daoquan every day.

He is in good health even though he is over 70 years old. He enjoys everything he eats!

"Disciple, when will your elder brother come?"

Zhou Tong happily pulled Lin Chong aside and asked:
"When he comes, I will definitely offer him three bowls of wine!"

The mother-in-law also said: "I want to toast him a glass... a bowl of wine!"

Lin Chong: "It's almost there... Look, isn't that it?"

Zhou Tong and his mother-in-law looked in the direction Lin Chong pointed, and sure enough, Liu Gao appeared at the door of the Juyi Hall.

As soon as Liu Gao appeared with Yue Fei, Yan Qing, Zhang Bao and Wang Heng, they were surrounded by their brothers, who excitedly clamored to toast them.

Liu Gao smiled and accepted everyone who came and drank heartily.

Finally, Zhou Tong also came to pay tribute to Liu Gao:
"My husband, thank you for bringing all my disciples onto the right path!

"I'll drink this bowl of wine first as a sign of respect!"

Zhou Tong was not only the master of Liu Gao's brothers, but also the master of his wives. Liu Gao quickly stood up and drank a bowl of wine with Zhou Tong.

Yue Fei's mother came again with wine, and despite Yue Fei's dissuasion, she insisted on drinking a bowl of wine with Liu Gao:

"I am here on behalf of my late husband to thank you for bringing my son onto the right path!
"Thank you, sir. Let me drink first as a token of my respect!"

Liu Gao also drank a bowl of wine with his mother-in-law, and then sat down to celebrate with his brothers.

In fact, Liu Gao felt there was nothing to celebrate.

Cangzhou is what Gao Qiu called a "dangerous military state", so what is there to celebrate?
Anyone with a little sense of the overall situation can see that the Liangshan heroes went to Cangzhou to block the attack.

To block the butcher knife of Liao or Jin for the Song Dynasty.

But even so, the brothers were still so happy.

Liu Gao knew that they were too eager to get out.

Liangshan Lake is a nice place, but who would be willing to hide on an island for the rest of their life?

Now, not only have they gone out, but they also have a legitimate territory.

Even if they have to fight with the Liao dogs and the Jin dogs with bayonets, they want to celebrate for finally taking this step.

"The Liao and Jin are all the same. Those who are not of our race must have different hearts."

Liu Gao sat in the first chair and arranged several sworn brothers present:
"Fifth brother (Lin Chong), sixth brother (Guan Sheng), Cangzhou is now handed over to you.

“There are evil people in both Liao and Jin, my second brother (Gongsun Sheng), you should also go and help.

"My fourth brother (Lu Junyi) continues to be in charge of Taihang.

"As for my third brother (Lu Zhishen), after we move to Cangzhou, we will have him abandon Erlongshan and live as a bandit in Liangshanpo after some time."

Oh boy, again?

Gongsun Sheng, Lin Chong, Guan Sheng, Wu Song, and Yue Fei all laughed till tears came out of their eyes when they heard this:

Big brother is really good at having fun!
Liu Gao said again: "Let Sun Li be in charge of Wutou City.

"Seventh brother (Wu Song) and ninth brother (Yue Fei), come with me to Suzhou."

Gongsun Sheng heard this and said, "Brother, why don't you go to Cangzhou with us?"

Liu Gao waved his hand:

"Su Yuanjing also brought me an imperial edict, saying that Zhou Ang drowned in Taihu Lake.

"So I have to return to my post and continue to fight Fang La."

The brothers all knew that Zhou Ang was killed by Li Jun.

Zhou Ang died, and Liu Gao was transferred back, which was unexpected but reasonable. Lin Chong said with concern:

"Brother, if only my seventh and ninth brothers go to Suzhou with you, won't there be enough people?

"How about I go with you?"

Guan Sheng rushed to say: "Fifth brother, you have to stay in Cangzhou!
"Let me go to Suzhou with my brother!"

"No need for that. Cangzhou is of vital importance. I can only feel at ease if you are all here."

Liu Gao refused without even thinking:

"Don't worry, I've already told Su Yuanjing to second my eighth brother (Hua Rong) to go with you."

After hearing what Liu Gao said, Lin Chong and Guan Sheng stopped arguing.

The combination of the seventh, eighth and ninth brothers is enough.

What's more, the three sisters-in-law, Hua Yueniang, Hu Sanniang and Qiu Qiongying, are all brave enough to be unmatched by any other woman.

Liu Gao had arranged everything, and the brothers drank happily, not knowing when they would get together again...

Three days later, Lin Chong and Guan Sheng led 50,000 troops from Liangshanpo and marched northward in a mighty force.

The reason why there were more troops was naturally because more than 40,000 government troops were captured last time.

After streamlining the military and government, the total number of troops reached 55,000, with the original 43,000 troops of Liangshanpo.

Those who went to Cangzhou with Lin Chong and Guan Sheng included Qin Ming, Huang Xin, Gongsun Sheng, Fan Rui, Wen Huanzhang, Xu Jing, Mei Zhan, Shan Tinggui, Wei Dingguo, Jie Zhen, Jie Bao, Huangfu Duan, Xiang Chong, Li Gun, Lu Fang, Guo Sheng, Meng Kang, Liu Menglong, Ling Zhen, and Dai Zong.

In addition, Cao Zheng and Yun Ge'er are still in Nanshan Hotel, Sun Xin and Gu Dasao are in Beishan Hotel, Wang Dingliu is in Dongshan Hotel, and Hu Cheng is in Xishan Hotel.

They stayed here and waited for Lu Zhishen to come and become a bandit.

The three Ruan brothers also stayed in Liangshanpo.

After Lu Zhishen arrived, the three Ruan brothers rebuilt their navy.

Another 5,000 troops from Liangshanpo were taken to Suzhou by Liu Gao.

Those who went south with Liu Gao included Wu Song, Yue Fei, Xu Ning, Zhu Tong, Zhang Bao, Wang Heng, Yan Qing, Shi Xiu, Zhang Heng, Zhang Shun, Shi Qian, Tang Huai, Zhang Xian, Wang Gui, Hua Yue Niang, Hu San Niang, Qiu Qiongying, Qiao Daoqing, An Daoquan, Jiao Ting, Tang Long, Mu Hong, Yang Lin, and the seconded Hua Rong.

Together with Huang Wenbing, Sun An, Li Jun, Shan Shiqi, Lu Shinang and others who originally stayed in Jiangnan, the team was considered to have a strong military force.

……

Southland, Bangyuan Cave.

One hundred thousand Chu troops have surrounded the cave entrance.

As the deputy commander, Song Jiang waved his whip triumphantly:
"Fight in!"

The governor Du Fu was in the middle.

On the left is Dong Ping, who is also a governor.

On the right is Liu Yun, the Flying Dragon General of the Southern Kingdom.

The three groups of troops were like three sharp swords, fiercely cutting through the Southern Kingdom's Royal Guards and charging into Bangyuan Cave!
"General Duan, the Southern Kingdom is already ours...in your pocket!"

While Song Jiang was feeling very proud, he did not forget to flatter his commander.

The commander-in-chief was the brother-in-law of King Wang Qing of Chu, General Duan Er who was in charge of the national defense army.

Although it was Song Jiang who commanded the battle, the real credit went to Duan Er's good leadership.

Duan Er laughed out loud.

The guide next to him looked pale:

What does it mean that the South is already in your pocket?
And me?

"Whoosh-"

Du Wei, the Grand Commandant of the Southern Kingdom's cavalry and infantry, threw a flying knife in the melee and attacked Dong Ping!
Unexpectedly, Dong Ping deflected the flying knife with a gun, rode his horse to Du Wei, and stabbed Du Wei in the throat with a gun!

"You traitor..."

Du Wei stared at Dong Ping in shock and anger, pointing at him with trembling fingers, but could no longer speak.

"Ah!"

Dong Ping sneered, drew his gun, and rushed into Bangyuan Cave without looking back to fight for Fang Tianding!
