The Liangshan rebels frantically launched an offensive, constantly expanding their sphere of influence, and the Song army was defeated one after another.

The prefecture capitals of the southern provinces were constantly captured by the Liangshan rebels.

Official documents of the fall of the prefecture capital were continuously sent to Bianjing.

This made Song Huizong, who was bent on completely annihilating the Liangshan rebels this year, couldn’t help but be furious!

“What the hell is going on here? Gao Qiang, didn’t you say before that the encirclement and suppression of the Liangshan thief army this time is already foolproof? Why is this the case? The officials and troops suffered a crushing defeat on Huainan East Road. The entire Huainan East Road is about to fall into the hands of the Liangshan thief army. Even Huainan West Road, Jiangnan Liangzhe Road and Jiangnan East Road are about to be attacked by the Liangshan thief army. In particular, Jingbei Road was also attacked by the Liangshan thief army. A large part of the country has fallen! Is this your plan to suppress the bandits? Song Huizong was furious, pointed at Gao Lian and cursed, scolding Gao Liang’s bloody head.

Gao Lian knelt on the ground, his face was pale, and he kept kowtowing.

In fact, he himself did not expect that everything would turn out like this.

You know, he was full of ambition before, mobilizing hundreds of thousands of troops to surround and suppress the Liangshan rebels, thinking that this time he could easily pinch the Liangshan rebels to death in one fell swoop.

But what he didn’t expect was that the Liangshan rebels were so strong. It not only resisted the attack of the officials and troops in the north, but also confronted the officials and troops in the west. To the south, it easily defeated the official army and began to drive straight in, occupying a large area of the state capital.

This is undoubtedly an extremely heavy blow to Gao Qiang! This means that the plan he presided over this time to annihilate the Liangshan rebels has already suffered a heavy failure from the very beginning.

“Your Majesty forgives!” Gao Lian can only keep begging for mercy.

“Phew!” After a while, Song Huizong seemed to have vented the anger in his heart.

But looking at Gao Qiang’s eyes, he was still full of unkindness.

Although, he regarded Gao Lian as his confidant. But if the plan led by Gao Liang to annihilate the Liangshan rebels failed, he would still not hesitate to take Gao Lian to attack.

“Your Majesty, all roads in the south, but the financial and tax powers of the imperial court! You can’t afford to lose it! Once the southern roads are lost, I am afraid that the imperial court will be difficult to sustain! Tai Shi Cai Jing said.

Although Cai Jing is a big traitor, this is mainly due to his character problems.

His ability is still quite good. Otherwise, he would not have sat in the position of the imperial master.

The financial revenue of the Great Song Dynasty, commercial taxes have accounted for seven or eight percent. The southern roads have always been important places for commerce and trade. At the same time, it is also the main grain producing area. Once all roads in the south are captured by the Liangshan rebels, the consequences will undoubtedly be unimaginable!

Song Huizong’s face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.

“Let’s talk about it, what now?” Song Huizong asked.

He never imagined that the Liangshan Rebels, who had not been put in his eyes at all, would actually develop into this.

Not to mention the occupation of Jingdong East Road and Jingdong East Road, now even Huainan East Road is about to fall into the hands of the Liangshan rebels. More importantly, the expansion of the Liangshan rebels in the south was clearly just beginning.

Immediately afterwards, the southern roads with empty troops will definitely fall into the hands of the Liangshan rebels one after another. This was not only an extremely heavy blow to the Great Song Imperial Court. At the same time, under this trade-off, the strength of the Liangshan rebel army will be even stronger. Under such circumstances, it was even more impossible for the Great Song court to suppress the Liangshan rebels.

And once it is not possible to quickly suppress the Liangshan rebels, so that the foreign races see the opportunity and take the opportunity to launch an attack on the Great Song Dynasty, then the Great Song Dynasty may fall into a catastrophe.

“Your Majesty, now we must mobilize troops to resist the attack of the Liangshan thief army in the south. The two Zhejiang roads and Jiangnan East Road, and even the rest of the southern roads, are very important to the imperial court, and they must not let the hands of the Liangshan thief army! Liang Shicheng put forward his own point of view.

“Yes, Your Majesty. If the south falls, the situation will be completely eroded. With the Liangshan thief army inside and the Liao and Xixia people outside, we simply can’t deal with it! In the imperial history, King Cheng also expressed his attitude.

Song Huizong nodded, he knew very well that if the situation in Jiangnan was rotten and fell into the hands of the Liangshan rebels, then the Great Song Imperial Court would probably be finished. This was already a fatal crisis for the Great Song court.

Song Huizong was even more regretful in his heart, he had known that the Liangshan rebels were so strong, and when recruiting Liangshan, he should not have put forward such harsh conditions.

Even the conditions put forward by the Liangshan rebels were too harsh and rude. However, it is not unacceptable.

At that time, when Song Huizong learned of the conditions proposed by Liang Shan, he was furious. It is absolutely unacceptable to think so.

But now, the situation has changed radically.

The Liangshan rebels had already threatened the survival of the Great Song Dynasty.

In the face of such a huge crisis, those conditions seem less unacceptable.

As long as you can keep the rivers and mountains of the Great Song Dynasty, seal Wusong as the king of Liangshan, and seal Jingdong East Road and Jingdong East Road to Wusong, it is nothing, it is better than losing more territory, right?

Even if Wu Song wants to marry his most beloved daughter, Jia De Diji, this is not non-negotiable!

But alas, it is undoubtedly too late to wake up now.

The Great War has broken out again. The large-scale offensive of the Liangshan rebels has already begun, and it is not so easy to stop.

“Your Majesty, the minister has ordered to mobilize troops from Minjiang Road, Jiangnan West Road, Guangnan East Road, Guangnan West Road, Jingnan Road and Jingbei Road, and Jingxian Road, and is pressing the Liangshan thief army. My Great Song in these places, as well as a large number of military horses, will definitely be able to defeat the Liangshan thief army! Gao Lian said.

As a privy envoy, he knew the military horses of the Great Song Dynasty very well.

With Jiangnan about to fall, he could only mobilize as many troops as possible and prepare to suppress the Liangshan rebels.

As for whether this will actually work, he himself does not know.

After all, he himself knew very well what kind of virtue the troops in the south were.

But now he can only use a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

Song Huizong nodded, now he can only do his best to defeat the offensive of the Liangshan rebels in Jiangnan.
