Early April 1114, Liangshan.

Wu Song, the commander of Liangshan, was discussing the situation with Wu Yong, Gongsun Sheng, Zhu Wu, and Lin Chong.

The current situation is very good for the Liangshan rebels.

The three armies that attacked to the south achieved great victories. The two armies and half of the cavalry corps in the north also successfully resisted the attack of the Song army. As for the western battlefield, both sides exercised restraint and did not fight.

The current situation is undoubtedly extremely favorable for the Liangshan rebels. Three infantry corps and three cavalry regiments were sweeping through various southern territories, constantly expanding the rule of the Liangshan rebels.

This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the Great Song Court. Under this trade-off, the control of the Great Song court will continue to shrink. As a result, its strength will also be greatly weakened.

“The Grand Commander, the Second Army, the Seventh Army and the Ninth Army are all fighting very well. At present, the entire Huainan East Road is almost under our control. The Second Army is advancing to the front line of the Yangtze River, planning to cross the Yangtze River and attack the two Zhejiang roads! Gongsun Sheng said.

Wu Song nodded: “Huainan East Road has a large population, and commerce and agriculture are prosperous. Controlling this place will not only greatly increase my Liangshan’s strength. It can further strengthen our strength and increase our turning space. ”

“Grand Commander, the Ninth Army is attacking Huainan West Road. And the Seventh Army has already turned around and attacked the northwest road of Beijing. In these areas, the army and horses have already been transferred by the Great Song Imperial Court, and it is impossible to resist our attack. These roads will soon fall into our hands like ripe peaches. Gongsun Sheng said.

“Very good! Once we capture Huainan East Road, Huainan West Road, Liangzhe Road, Jiangnan East Road and even Jingbei Road. Almost half of the entire Great Song Dynasty is under our control. Moreover, further south, Jiangnan West Road, Minjiang Road, Guangnan East Road and Guangnan West Road will be cut off from Bianjing. The next thing we’re going to take these places will be very easy. It was even possible to further attack Jinjing North Road and Jingnan Road to the west, as well as Cuizhou Road, Zizhou Road, Rongchengfu Road and Lizhou Road further west. At that time, the Great Song court would only have some territory left in the north. Wu Song smiled very happily.

These territories were all places where the Great Song Dynasty’s military strength was relatively weak and its ruling base was relatively weak.

If the Liangshan rebels take advantage of the situation to capture these places, the comparison of strength with the Great Song Dynasty will change dramatically.

“Grand Commander! Although the military power of the Great Song Dynasty was concentrated in Gyeonggi Road and the north. However, the economic base is all in the south! In particular, almost all the grain comes from the south. If we take these territories in the south, it will directly cut off the foundation of the Great Song Imperial Court. Zhu Wu also said.

Wu Song nodded repeatedly, he felt that it was too good to launch a fierce attack to the south.

“However, Grand Commander. We have put too few troops south. If you want to occupy such a vast territory, these troops alone are far from enough. In particular, the Seventh Army turned around and attacked the Gyeonggi Road from the south. The strength of the south is even more insufficient. Gongsun Sheng continued.

“yes! With those tens of thousands of people, it is impossible to capture such a vast territory. Give orders to the Second, Seventh and Ninth Armies to form new units. Xie Zhen served as the commander of the newly formed Eleventh Army, Shi Xiu served as the commander of the Twelfth Army, and Xie Bao served as the commander of the Thirteenth Army! These three armies must be quickly formed and quickly formed into combat effectiveness! Wusong ordered.

“Yes, Grand Commander!” Gongsun Sheng replied.

After the formation of three new corps, the Liangshan rebel army will increase its troops by 90,000 men.

These recruits may find it difficult to form combat effectiveness in a short period of time. At least this year, I’m afraid it won’t come in handy.

However, they were able to maintain local stability and hold the rear for the II, VII and IX armies. Let these three armies continue to attack. After the three newly formed armies formed combat effectiveness, they can be put into a new round of offensive. And when the time comes, the Liangshan rebels will definitely form new troops.

To overthrow the Great Song Dynasty, it is also necessary to prepare for war with the Liao State and even Western Xia. The strength of the Liangshan rebel army must be further expanded. In Wu Song’s view, even if it expands to millions, it is not much.

“The Great Commander, the newly occupied territory, must quickly establish a solid rule. In this way, the foundation of our rule can be laid. Wu Yong said.

Now Wu Yong has put all his energy into government affairs.

The government affairs of Jingdong East Road and Jingdong East Road were well managed by him.

In particular, the mandatory implementation of the rent and interest reduction policy has won the strong support of the vast number of farmers while harming the interests of some landlords. This made the mass base of the Liangshan rebels in Jingdong East Road and Jingdong East Road and Jingdong Road established at once.

With the support of the population, everything is much easier.

Now, the territory controlled by the Liangshan rebels has been further expanded, which is undoubtedly a good opportunity to further expand the ruling base of the Liangshan rebels.

If the rule of the Liangshan rebels can be extended to the south, this will further enhance the strength of the Liangshan rebels. In the struggle for hegemony with the Great Song Dynasty, it can occupy a great advantage.

Wu Song nodded: “The Government Affairs Cabinet should be prepared and send officials to receive the prefectures in the south and establish our rule in the south.” The military will fully support the government cabinet. Only after our rule is established can we gain more power from all walks of life in the south and make us more powerful! ”

“Yes, Grand Commander! The government cabinet has already selected a group of officials, and they will set off for the south on the same day to take over the prefecture capitals of Huainan East Road. Wu replied.

It’s just that the Liangshan Rebels are still too lacking in terms of government affairs talent reserves. It will undoubtedly be very difficult to fully establish rule. Fortunately, there were many readers in the Great Song Dynasty. People who have not met do not know how many. Through the eclectic selection of talents, the Liangshan Rebels can make a large number of such people work for the Liangshan Rebels.

Today, the entire Liangshan rebel army is in a period of barbaric growth. Not only is the military expanding rapidly, but government personnel are also growing rapidly.
