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

Chapter 789 Qin Ming: The Liao dog's desire to destroy us is not dead [4 more votes requested]

It’s a pity indeed…

Although the "Five Tigers of Jishan" did not hold high official positions, they were really good at fighting.

The two brothers Ma Zhan and Ma Jin are not of the same quality.

Ma Qiang's best achievement was teaming up with Mi Xian to kill Tang Bin.

Ma Jin was even worse off, with no record of victories.

The brothers Teng Xun and Teng Kan are really amazing.

Teng Xun was hit in the face by a flying stone from Qiu Qiongying and died under Qiu Qiongying's halberd.

This does not mean that Teng Xun is weak. After all, in the original novel, even Lin Chong was injured by Qiu Qiongying.

When a fight is going on and something like this suddenly happens, no one can defend against it.

Teng Kan is really strong. He uses a tiger-eye bamboo steel whip.

Single whip against Hu Yanzhuo's double whip, the battle lasted for more than fifty rounds without a clear winner.

This record is even better than Sun Li's.

The strongest of the "Five Tigers of Jishan" is Yuan Lang.

Yuan Lang and Qin Ming fought for more than 150 rounds without a clear winner.

So it’s a pity that the two brothers Teng Xun and Teng Xun can’t come, but it’s also good to have Yuan Lang.

"What are you saying? Uncle is very happy that you can come here."

Liu Gao held Li Huai with one hand and Li Zhu with the other:

"Brother, nephew, let's go have some drinks."

Li Huai refused:

"Uncle, please forgive me. I followed my uncle out here on the pretext of worshipping our ancestors.

“Since I have already pledged my loyalty to my uncle, I must hurry back.

"Bring Generals Ma Xian, Ma Jin, and Yuan Lang with you..."

"Alright."

Liu Gao nodded:

“But I think you don’t have to rush, it’s better to stay in Jishan and recruit troops.

"Wait until our army attacks there, and then join forces with the outside world to defeat Jingnan. Wouldn't that be a great achievement?"

Li Huai's heart moved:
"What uncle said is very true!

"In that case, I will follow your instructions!"

Li Zhu also said goodbye to Liu Gao:

"Brother, I will go to Jishan with him and kill Liang Yong if necessary."

The more Liu Gao tried to keep Li Zu, the more he wanted to leave.

He went to stabilize the situation in Jingnan for Liu Gao.

So Liu Gao had no choice but to personally escort Li Zhu and Li Huai away, and this time they were escorted to Runzhou on the other side of the river...

……

Cangzhou.

The original prefectural government office has become the current Juyi Hall.

Lin Chong, Guan Sheng, Gongsun Sheng and others were drinking together today when suddenly an envoy from the imperial court came and issued them an imperial edict.

The imperial envoy was none other than General Su Yuanjing.

After the Grand Commandant Su announced the decree, he said to the three brothers Gongsun Sheng, Lin Chong, and Guan Sheng with a look of concern for the country and the people:
"Generals, if the Liao army marches south, it will surely bring chaos to the Central Plains and cause great suffering to the people!

"Generals, please consider the lives of the people and stop the Liao army!

"On behalf of all the people in the world, I would like to thank all the generals!"

As he spoke these words to General Su, he bowed his head and kowtowed to them.

After Su Yuanjing left, Gongsun Sheng, Lin Chong and Guan Sheng summoned all the brothers to the Juyi Hall to discuss matters.

The cavalry included Qin Ming, Xu Jing, Mei Zhan etc., the infantry included Jie Zhen, Jie Bao etc., the navy included Meng Kang, Liu Menglong etc., and the chief of staff Wen Huanzhang, the mage Fan Rui, the artillery officer Ling Zhen etc. were all present.

Lin Chong relayed the imperial decree to them:

"Brothers, today we received an imperial decree, blah blah blah...

"The Liao army has evil ambitions and is secretly gathering a large army in Bazhou. They are about to march south to attack the Song Dynasty. Blah blah blah...

"The imperial court has no time to deploy troops, so we can only send troops to Bazhou to stop the Liao army, blah blah blah...

"Brothers, what do you think?"

"Straight bitch!"

"Thunderbolt" Qin Ming was furious:
"The Liao dog is still determined to destroy us, let's beat him up!"

"Not bad!"

Mei Zhan also said without hesitation:
"We are iron-blooded men, and now is the time to make achievements!" Jie Zhen and Jie Bao said: "We all obey the orders of our brother and are willing to fight to the death with the Liao dogs!"

"it is good!"

Lin Chong, Guan Sheng and Gongsun Sheng exchanged a tacit look.

Although Gongsun Sheng is the second child, he is a Taoist who lives in seclusion from the world.

Therefore, the ones who are really in charge are Lin Chong and Guan Sheng.

Lin Chong is the fifth child and Guan Sheng is the sixth child, so Lin Chong is always the one who makes the decisions when things happen.

Seeing the enthusiasm of the brothers, Lin Chong wanted to make a decision on the spot:
"If there are no dissenting opinions..."

"Wait!"

As a staff officer, Wen Huanzhang stood up at this time:
"Should I ask my husband for permission for such a big matter?"

Lin Chong shook his head: "Brother is far away in Jiangnan.

“Even if we ask Brother Dai Zong to consult my elder brother, it will take several days to go back and forth.

"The military situation is urgent, Chief of Staff Wen!"

Guan Sheng also said: "We will definitely inform Big Brother about this matter, but I'm afraid we can't wait for Big Brother's reply.

"If we delay the military opportunity, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Lin Chong said confidently: "Brother always said that he would take us to Fenglangjuxu, and he would not object if he were here."

Wen Huanzhang was still a little worried: "But the military intelligence comes from the court, should we go and find out more..."

"Alright."

Lin Chong nodded and said, "Then I'd like to ask Brother Dai Zong to go to Bazhou and find out the situation before making a decision."

Guan Sheng added, “But before Brother Dai Zong comes back, we must be ready for battle.

"As long as the military intelligence is true, we will attack immediately!"

Lin Chong: "That's exactly what it should be!"

……

The next day.

Dai Zong used his flying legs to run the round trip in just half a day.

The main reason is that Cangzhou and Bazhou are too close, only more than 100 kilometers away.

Dai Zong came back and told Lin Chong and Guan Sheng:

“Bazhou has indeed assembled an army of 100,000!

"And there are still more troops gathering here..."

Real hammer!
Lin Chong looked at Wen Huanzhang and said, "The Liao Kingdom has gathered so many troops near the border, they must be planning to attack the Song Kingdom!

"If we don't take action immediately, the consequences will be disastrous when the Liao army marches south!"

Wen Huanzhang advised again: "But you have already negotiated an alliance with the Liao Kingdom, why would they attack their allies?"

too naive!

Lin Chong and Guan Sheng looked at each other and shook their heads.

Guan Sheng said, "Those who are not of my race must have different hearts!"

"Coach, we can't wait any longer!"

Qin Ming was more anxious than all of them combined, stamping his feet in anxiety:
"If we wait any longer, the Liao dogs will attack us!

“I’ve fought with Liao dogs, I know!
“They are so cruel that they will not show mercy to the elderly, the weak, women and children!
"If they enter the territory of the Song Dynasty, their cavalry will come and go like the wind and reach Daming Prefecture in a few days!"

Wen Huanzhang shook his head and stopped talking.

So everyone agreed, and Lin Chong immediately made the decision:
"The entire army will set out in the afternoon and rush to Bazhou overnight!"

All the generals responded in unison.

……

"That's the way it is."

After Lin Chong made the decision, Dai Zong rushed to Yangzhou overnight and informed Liu Gao of the news two days later:

"By now, Generals Lin Chong and Guan Sheng should have already led their army to Bazhou..."

"what?"

Liu Gao had just lived a peaceful life for a few days when he didn't expect such a big thing to happen.

But the more Liu Gao thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. The Liao Kingdom was being held back by the Jin Kingdom, so how could it possibly march its army south?

But it is not impossible.

In the original novel, the Liao Kingdom sent out an army of 100,000, which was divided into four routes, looting Shandong and Shanxi, and plundering Henan and Hebei.

That's why Emperor Huizong of Song sent the heroes of Liangshan to conquer Liao.
