However, it is said that Song Jiang in order to deal with Wang Qing as the reason, in the month of the fight to accumulate strength, in the name of the bandits everywhere to conquer, the western part of Henan City all the pocket, recently from Henan Heavy Tiger Prison Pass for Zhang Shun, after Lei Heng conquered, Song Jiang according to Chen Hoop bucket strategy to change the strategy no longer to conquer, but in the Tiger Prison Pass for more than ten days in a row to rest.

It turned out that the Tiger Prison Pass was the throat area of the Central Plains leading to the land of Sanqin, and the city had been built here in the early Song Dynasty, and there were hundreds of thousands of people, and the Song River was getting stronger and stronger.

On this day, when Song Jiang was sitting in the house, Chen Hoop Bucket came to visit, Song Jiang asked people to enter, Chen Hoop Bucket entered the door, but he smiled and said: "Lord, Xiaosheng has something to congratulate today." ”

"Oh, what's the matter, please take your time."

Song Jiang has been wandering around for more than half a month, and he has nothing to do, but now that he heard that Chen Hoop Bucket had something to report, his nerves naturally tensed instantly.

"Do you still remember Huaixi Wang Qing and Jing Xiang Zhong Xiang?"

As soon as Chen Hoop said these two people, Song Jiang understood, a while ago, I heard that these two forces connected several important cities, and the whole country of the Song Dynasty was being annoyed, and now since these two people were mentioned, it means that the war situation must have taken a turn for the better.

Sure enough, it was this good news that Chen Hoop Bucket mentioned.

"According to the information sent back by the secret agents, Wang Qing was in Luoyang and Zhong Xiang was in Xiangyang, both of which were blocked by the main force of the Song army, and they did not advance a single step for several months.

When Chen Hoop Bucket got the news, he was also shocked, the Song Dynasty really still had residual strength, and it had not yet reached the point of exhaustion, and not just anyone could turn a blind eye.

At least with Wang Qing and Zhongxiang, these people are still completely insufficient, if it weren't for the fact that the main forces of the Song Dynasty were in the north to defend Western Xia and Liao, they would have not known how many times they had been destroyed.

Although the Song Dynasty is now mainly confronting them, and there are really few major battles like bloody battles between several large armies, the current situation is still not very optimistic.

In fact, Zhao Ji was also distressed, he had long wanted to transfer Tong Guan and the troops in the seed division back, but since Jin Guo and Wang Qing learned the news of the civil strife in the Song Dynasty, they naturally would not sit idly by.

A few months ago, they had already displayed hundreds of thousands of troops on the thousand-mile border, although Zhao Jie was annoyed, he was also helpless in his heart, so he had to hope that Han Shizhong, who fled to Chuzhou alone, Zhang Shuye in Xiangyang, and Dong and La, could start a war and fight to defeat both.

"What does the advisor mean that we should take this opportunity to propose an alliance to the two of us?"

Song Jiang asked, after all, he always thought that the alliance was unreliable, not to mention the two sides of Sun and Liu during the Three Kingdoms, but said that there were more than 100 years of Song and countless contracts signed with Liao and Western Xia, but what was the result?

Chen hoop bucket took out a topographic map of the Central Plains, put it on the table, and said to Song Jiang: "Exactly, my lord, please see, if according to my plan, we only need to act like this, and then we will instigate the anti-king army to march from Caozhou, Luoyang, and Xiangyang, and we will be able to attack the Central Plains in one fell swoop and seize the hegemony!" ”

"As for Wang Qing, Zhong Xiang and the like, we are just leading them into minions, and when we get the world, I naturally have a plan, if they make any changes, they will be able to exterminate them all!"

After Chen Hoop Bucket finished speaking, he pointed his finger to the map and said in a low tone.

"The most important thing at the moment is to conquer Michi first, and then take the opportunity to deal with Wang Qing to capture this city, the western part of Henan will be like something in the pocket of our army, and then send a few brothers to stay in Henan, and then the lord will unite Dong Shuang with a large army out of Caozhou, and we will encircle Tokyo, and directly attack the heart of the Song Dynasty, and will be able to drive straight in!"

Song Jiang frowned when he heard this, but said: "Military Division, do we have to consider the actions of the Jin people in the internal struggle for hegemony in the Central Plains?" Don't forget, in the past, the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty and the Western Jin Dynasty, there was first the dispute between the Three Kingdoms of Wu, Shu and Wei, and then the rebellion of the Eight Kings of the Western Jin Dynasty. ”

"At that time, although there were many heroes, they were killed and injured in the civil strife, which led to the invasion of the Wuhu and foreign invaders, and our Chinese people were in dire straits and suffered from misery. Although the plan of the military advisor is good, remember the past and not make this fateful mistake again! Song Jiang said, his tone becoming more and more low.

"Don't worry, Xiao Ke also reads history books a lot, how can he not understand this truth? I have been prepared for this matter for a long time, and once Jiangnan is defeated, I will send a few brothers to act like this, and I will definitely succeed in one fell swoop and not let history repeat itself! ”

Chen Hoop Bucket had expected that Song Jiang would have this concern, but fortunately, he already had a countermeasure, and he naturally answered the question at this time

Song Jiang frowned when he heard this, and immediately smiled: "Since the military advisor has an arrangement, then I can rest assured, and this battle will be according to your method." ”

Chen hoop bucket stood up, walked to the map hanging on the wall, pondered for a moment, and said: "Lord, now that we have laid the Tiger Prison Pass, Michi Zongze and others have been trapped by Wang Qing's generals Liu Yuan and Yutai, our army should now quickly capture the western part of Henan, and then join Dong Shuang, taking advantage of the Song thief's unpreparedness, and the Qi army to attack Tokyo, a little late, if the Song army leads a large army to clean up our department, the fighter plane will disappear, and the generals Shi Yong and Ma Lingbo stationed in Xizhou will be difficult to resist the main Song force."

Song Jiang said: "That Ma Ling and a group of people, it has been half a month since they surrendered to us, although they are also fellow citizens of the green forest, I regard their ambitions as more than this, and they are heroic and extraordinary, and they are not very relieved to use in general, military advisor, can you change them and the two brothers Lu Fang and Guo Sheng, and come to me to lead the main army to monitor?"

After speaking, Song Jiang just looked at the roster of generals arranged on the table, and when he looked at Ma Lingjun's own army, he only frowned.

On the roster, there are about 10,000 elite horses in the Maling army, 3,000 cavalry, 2,000 naval troops, and seven main leaders, which are:

Righteous giants Chen Mingyuan, Taishan Zhuang Hao, Sheng, Lingfeng Road, Xinyu Fei, Jiao Mingwu, Jindao, Shen Ran, Jin Gong, Xu Tao, Qianzhangkeng, Zhu Cheng

These seven fierce generals are all capable of writing and martial arts, and they are not worthy of bravery.

There are dozens of humble generals below, all of whom are one in a hundred, and people can't be people.

Shaking his head slightly, Song Jiang just held his head and was in a mess, and he didn't know how to deal with these things now.

"No, although there are many generals in Ma Ling's group, but their strategists are scarce and there are not many soldiers and horses, and General Shi will guard our grain storage land together, and use General Shi's elite to hold its development hostage as the best policy." Chen Hoop Bucket just said in a deep voice: "If they come to our side to fight, I am afraid that they will use the excuse that the number of people is not large enough to fight, so they will expand the army and horses and return it to their own strength, and their troops are good at defensive operations.

Song Jiang nodded, and said: "A few days ago, Fang La came to form an alliance with me, and the military advisor said that you wanted them to rest in the city for a few days and wait for us to consider, I don't know what you think now?"

"Xiao Sheng has to ask the lord about this." Chen hoop bucket just cranked the feather fan and smiled: "I don't know if the lord has any new ideas these days?"

"Me?" Song Jiang was stunned for a moment, and then sneered and said: "Fang Zhongquan, this person is cruel and unkind, causing countless disasters, and hundreds of thousands of people in the Hangzhou area are worse than death, killing countless people, although I, Song Jiang, have fallen into despair, I will not form an alliance with this kind of person!"

Chen hoop bucket said: "The lord's words are wrong! Now in the troubled times to fight for hegemony, the capable are used, although this Fang La is brutal and unreasonable, but its soldiers and horses are strong, and there are many generals, if you can form an alliance with it, this world is at your fingertips, if you don't agree to form an alliance, you are an enemy with it, there is Song and Qin in front of you, and then lick such a strong enemy, can the lord think that he can have a chance of winning? ”

"And what are you going to do?" Although Song Jiang was thinking about the powerful relationship in his heart, he was still slightly unhappy and said: "Even if the alliance is formed, since the military advisor thinks that Fang La is so powerful, if he comes to attack me again after destroying the Song Dynasty, how can I resist?"

"My lord is wrong." Chen Hoop just sat down, took a sip of tea, shook the feather fan with a smile and said: "Fang La's army, but I want him to drag Dong Shuang, not to attack the Central Plains with us!"

"Dong Shuang?"

Song Jiang was completely stunned, and after wandering in the house for a long time, he also sat down, but frowned and looked at Chen Hoop Bucket, and only said after a long time: "In this case, are we going to cross the river and demolish the bridge immediately after joining forces with Dong Shuang?"

"Exactly!"

Standing up suddenly, Chen Hoop's eyes only flickered with cold light, and he sneered and said: "I will talk to Fang La to deal with Dong Shuang, and when Tokyo is broken by me and Dong Shuang, and the Ming Sect goes north, I must think that our strength has exhausted and he is sitting on the reaping profits, plus Fang La's people and Dong Shuang have had a deep hatred for several years, Xiao Sheng is a little provoked in it and uses a small plan, Fang La will definitely celebrate and think that he has taken advantage of the bloody battle with Dong Shuang, and the main force of my army will be with all the anti-kings to deal with the remnants of the Song Dynasty, and it will definitely help the lord to seize the world and achieve hegemony!"

"Yes, yes!"

Song Jiang was stunned for a long time, so he slapped the table and stood up, just clapped his hands and laughed: "The military advisor is worthy of beating Zhuge Liang, and he is ten times better than Zhou Lang, I have a military advisor, I really beat the world!"

Chen Hoop Bucket just smiled and said: "The lord has a good reputation, as long as we work steadily and steadily step by step, it is not difficult to achieve a hegemony in this troubled world, as long as we don't act rashly."

"Do you want to be pushy?"

Song Jiang was silent for a moment, as if he was caught in a memory, and then he just sneered: "Indeed, this Dong Shuang is stronger than Song Jun, dragging him is the first task, the priority must be distinguished, those mistakes, I will never fan again, now I am the commander of a large army, not just the eldest brother of the brothers, for all this and the dead brothers, I will also take this Central Plains and avenge them!"

Song Jiang communicated with Chen Hoop Bucket in the middle of the night, and went to sleep on the morning of the second day, and Chen Hoop Bucket came forward to contact Fang La's people.

"Tournament?"

Fang Jie and his entourage were in the inn, seeing that Chen Hoop and the others had said what they meant, but they frowned, what kind of trick did Song Jiang play, he didn't come out himself, what is the situation of this alliance and martial arts?

But Chen Hoop just kept smiling and shaking his feather fan to look at Fang Jie, looking like he was underbeaten, Fang Jie's eyes suddenly burst into flames, and he wanted to leave immediately, but he was helpless in his mission.

"I'm better than you, what so much nonsense, do you want to end this alliance!" A strong man behind Chen Hoop said with a sneer.

"Are you talking crazy about death?"

Fang Jie was a young man with strong blood, how could he stand such anger, he suddenly slapped the table and got up and pointed at the strong man and scolded: "Try it again, the master will tell you to move!"

The strong man was not angry, Chen Hoop still smiled and said: "In this way, since you have this idea, you are not in a hurry to do it now, just go to the ring to win five against five, how about winning the alliance leader?"

Fang Jie just sneered, didn't answer, just shouted: "Li Tianyan, Bai Qin, Jingde, Xiahou Cheng, Pang Wanchun, follow me!"

After speaking, he had already taken the initiative to stride towards the largest martial arts arena in the city.

Suddenly, Fang Jie turned around again, just looked at the strong man and sneered: "Boy, a nameless person is not worthy of being an enemy of my Fang Jie, there is a kind of report to be famous!"
