Jeju City.

Since the decree was handed out in the small courtyard that day, Zhao Huan ordered Bajiedu and Zhang Shuye to camp outside Jeju City according to the pattern of the Nine Palaces.

The camps are all personally selected by Zhao Huan, Wen Huanzhang, Wu Jue, Wu Lan, Zhang Shuye, Wang Huan and others, all of which are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and each camp is adjacent to at least three or four other camps.

Uncle Zhang was in the center at night, Wang Huan and other eight people were divided into eight directions, according to Zhao Huan and Wen Huanzhang, first eliminated the old and weak and **, leaving only the elite, and then only defended but not attacked, and only practiced in the camp every day.

Zhao Huan, Wen Huanzhang, Gao Yu and others all lived in the small courtyard of the Chinese army in Zhang Shuye, and in Jeju City, except for the officials and soldiers who originally defended the city, there were no imperial soldiers and horses left to live in the city.

Among the people in the barracks, the number of high-ranking people was the best, followed by Wen Huanzhang, and then the same. Zhao Huan slept and ate with the sergeants every day, and took turns patrolling the eight military camps every day, and it was up to him which barracks he went to.

This is a decision made by Wen Huanzhang and Wu Jue and others after discussion. Since Zhao Huan is determined to live in the barracks, in order to ensure his safety, he must take this form so that everyone does not know Zhao Huan's traces.

During this time, in addition to practicing the Immortal Sutra in the military camp every day, Zhao Huan asked "why" three times a day, asking the questions in his heart one by one to understand the true situation of this world.

And Liangshan at the moment.

Ever since they learned that the crown prince had personally gone to Jeju to supervise the war, some people on Yangsan were panicked.

The crown prince's leading army is second only to the royal driver's personal expedition, what does this mean?

First, the imperial court's determination to conquer Liangshan has reached the level of exerting the strength of the whole country.

Second, the imperial court's attention to Liangshan has reached the point where the whole country is fighting.

Of course, this is not necessarily a bad thing for Liangshan, nor is it necessarily a good thing, there are three possibilities in total, and the final result is still inconceivable for Liangshan Zhuxiong.

First, it proves that the imperial court has no other way, and other methods can't help Liangshan. That's the bright side.

Second, the final result is that either the people of Liangshan will be greatly used by the imperial court, or they will become a thorn in the heart of the imperial court, and sooner or later they will be eliminated. This is the unpredictable side.

Third, since the prince has arrived, the imperial court will not easily let the prince lose the battle for the sake of face, so in order to deal with Liangshan, it will bring in elite soldiers from all walks of life, even a steady stream. This is the downside.

Therefore, once it involves the lives of their families, even these heroes and heroes on Liangshan are like a stone in their hearts, not to mention that many people still have families in Liangshan.

Especially Song Jiang, every day he was worried about his brows, staring at the officers and soldiers on the mountain every day and looking into the distance of the Ninth Army Village, and one stop was most of the day.

"Brother, it's cool now, let's wear one more piece of clothing!"

Wu Yong and Lu Junyi put on a cloak for Song Jiang in the back, and it could be seen that the two of them were also in a very low mood.

"Military advisor, outside the staff, Song Jiang is now anxious, and his internal organs are like fire! Alas! I don't know the cold and warm for a long time! ”

Song Jiang's heart was in turmoil, and he didn't shy away from the two.

Wu Yong hurriedly comforted: "Brother don't worry too much! I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is cowardly and incompetent, he has never taken a step out of Tokyo, and he is very bad with Yang Jian and others, so he must have been forced over by those traitors, and it may not be as dangerous as my brother thinks! ”

"That's right!" Lu Junyi also persuaded, "The so-called soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, Tong Guan's expedition to the east and the west has not been able to get a bargain in front of our Liangshan army, Gao Yu's gang brought more than 100,000 soldiers and horses and retreated twice, I heard that the prince only brought 1,000 people when he came from Tokyo, so it may not be more dangerous than Gao Yu!" ”

Listening to Wu Yong and Lu Junyi's words, Song Jiang shook his head again and again.

"I'm not worried that we Liangshan will lose the battle, but I'm worried that we are getting more and more troublesome now, and now even the prince and prince are here, I'm afraid that it won't end well, and the matter of Zhao'an will be in vain, and I will be an enemy of the court for the first time, and a thief for the first time!"

Wu Yong and Lu Junyi were silent when they heard this.

Good who wants to be a thief?

Who wouldn't want to be a good citizen again?

It's just that now that the matter has come to this, who can do anything!

"Brother, why don't we send someone down the mountain again to find out the truth and see what the situation is! In case the imperial court doesn't allow me to wait for Zhao'an, it's a big deal that we leave Liangshan and go to Jiangnan, I heard that Fang La in Jiangnan is also making a big fuss......"

"The military advisor will not mention this again!"

Song Jiang turned his head abruptly to interrupt Wu Yong, and said firmly, "Fang La, to put it bluntly, is also an anti-thief, no different from us, and has no means to govern the country!" Defecting to Fang La can't create a better country than the Great Song Dynasty, but he still has to be the enemy of the Great Song Dynasty! We were originally all the people of the Great Song Dynasty, even if the traitors are in charge now, we can't miss our hearts! ”

"But what the military advisor said, it is also necessary to send someone down the mountain again to find out the truth! It's just that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't know who he has helped, the nine military villages are surrounded like iron buckets, and the moths in those armies have been cleaned up, and those who are left are elite; Last time, we sent people down the mountain, and we were almost found when we looked at it from a distance outside the barracks, but this time I'm afraid the officers and soldiers will be more careful! ”

Lu Junyi hugged his fist to Wu and said, "Does the military advisor have a good plan?" ”

Wu Yong pondered for a moment and said, "Now there are only two ways. ”

"The first is to send military horses down the mountain to make a feint. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has 50,000 people after eliminating redundant personnel, and I have 100,000 brothers in Liangshan, and we are more familiar with the surrounding terrain, as long as we send elite soldiers and horses to test it, we can see the reality of His Royal Highness the Prince; It's best if we can win for a while, and even if we can't win, we can discuss the next move according to the battle situation! ”

"The second is to send someone down the mountain to contact His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Now His Royal Highness the Prince's nine military villages seem to be sharp, but they have not sent people to Liangshan to investigate the truth, let alone attack my Liangshan, I guess His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may not be willing to fight with my Liangshan, in this case, why don't I send someone to spy on His Royal Highness the Prince's intentions? ”

"Good!"

Song Jiang turned around and applauded and smiled, "The military advisor has a good idea!" It's time to send someone to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince first, and then decide whether to fight or not! In case His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has the intention of recruiting peace......"

"Brother!"

Wu Yong hurriedly interrupted again, "After many wars with the imperial court, I think that if we recruit peace directly, the imperial court may not reuse us, but it is very likely to take the opportunity to get rid of us completely!" Only by hurting the imperial court and letting His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty know the strength of our Liangshan army, will they not dare to underestimate us, nor dare they dare to harm us at will! Therefore, we still have a battle with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! ”

"Alas! That's what the military advisor said! Since ancient times, good things have been grinding, loyalty and righteousness are rare, and in order to protect ourselves, we also have to defeat the court again! ”
