Listening to Xiao Tang's deep voice, although the brothers present knew that it was not trivial to openly rebel, Xiao Jiasui's face became more and more serious, and he also said: "If my brother openly raises the banner and leaves the court, although he is no longer constrained by the power of the DPRK and the central government, it will inevitably shake the government and the opposition, and the Song army is very likely to spare no effort to attack." Even if the war is won, it will not be destroyed by the Song Dynasty for a while, although we have occupied a few military states in Liaodong, and the mountains and forests of Jingdong and Liangzhejiang are far away, and it is difficult to echo each other.

And now that Cai Jing is resentful, Hangzhou must also make preparations to prevent his brother from moving, and at that time, he will not only have to rescue the second brother Wu, but also if he wants to transfer the soldiers and horses of the two mountains and villages in Qingzhou, it is very easy to leak out if there are more people with him. If you want to get rid of the soldiers and horses and tie up your head and go to Hangzhou, most of them can only rely on the two cottage brothers in Baiyun Mountain and Wuyi Mountain, and you must deal with the officers and soldiers of the military divisions such as Suzhou and Hangzhou. ”

Xiao Tang knew that what Xiao Jiasui said was not a lie, after all, with his identity in the court, he was now going to jump out and openly cause an incident, which seriously hit the authority of the imperial court, which was also something that the Great Song Dynasty would never tolerate. Although Xiao Tang is now in command of several mountains and villages, the most fatal disadvantage for the green forest soldiers and horses under his command is that there is no strategic depth. Rao is Erlongshan and other big villages rely on mountain dangers, and Li Zhi, Ling Zhen and other brothers arrange city defense artillery and are also extremely difficult to break, but if the official army concentrates absolutely superior forces to attack, it is not impossible for the village to break and fall. As for Liaodong Phi Dao, Baozhou and other places, according to Xiao Tang's original strategic plan, they occupied those borderless lands that could be attacked and harassed, although the combat power was fierce, but they were not good at water warfare, and it was difficult to give any assistance to several cottages in the Song Dynasty in terms of geographical conditions.

Just like Tian Hu and Wang Qing among the four major Kou in the original Water Margin work, they respectively took advantage of the weakness of the official army to occupy the 56 counties of 5 states and 86 counties of 8 states, and the Manichaean Fang La Incident also immediately waved troops to occupy Hangzhou, the important capital of the south of the Yangtze River, after capturing the military states of Mu, She, Qu and other military states, each of them had the conditions to confront the imperial court for a while, and the several cottages led by Xiao Tang were scattered, and the population that could be accommodated in each village was also close to saturation. It also makes Xiao Tang and his soldiers and horses at a disadvantage compared with other green forest heroes who dare to expose the trouble.

However, thinking of several earth-shattering events that would soon occur according to the original historical trajectory, Xiao Tang also knew very well that if he immediately attacked the military states on the border of Shandong and Hebei after openly raising the incident, he was eager to expand the strategic buffer and plunder the people's autonomy...... I am afraid that before confronting the Jin army that invaded the south at that time, it would have to face the most elite of the Great Song Dynasty, and the main force of the Western Army, which was about to go to Hebei, would be involved in the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty, the remnants of the Liao State, and the wolf-like Jin Army at the time of self-government.

Build high walls, accumulate grain, and slowly become kings. This sentence was originally the strategic policy of Zhu Sheng, a scholar at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, to Zhu Yuanzhang to pacify the world, and it was also a famous sentence that many later generations would often use when they crossed to revolt, and some words were because it was indeed a wise saying, so it would become a cliché and be widely adopted by later generations.

"Even if it is necessary to make a big mistake openly, I can't expect the Great Song Dynasty court to let me openly cause trouble, I also know it, but before the situation in the north is clear, with the official army to kill internal friction, the war disaster continues, and it is not a blessing for the people, it is to take precautions and make plans in advance, the most important thing to think about is whether we can resist the army dispatched by the imperial court to come to conquer and gain a firm foothold, but we must also try to avoid the Song court from treating us as a big trouble and provoking the elite division of the Western Army to come to conquer again......”

Xiao Tang said in a deep voice, then turned his head to look at Yan Qing on the side, and asked: "Xiao Yi, after Brother Shibao returned to Wuyi Cottage on Fujian Road, he sent a flying pigeon to pass on the content of the book here. ”

Yan Qing also immediately said aloud when she heard this: "Originally, the secret society of Manichaeism in Jiangnan instigated the people with some unpredictable things and acted very secretively to avoid being banned by the government, but I heard that there were also displaced people in Wuyi Cottage who said that these days, Manichaeism has become more and more frequent in attracting followers, and in villages, towns and villages all over the south of the Yangtze River, they have even begun to burn people's houses, plunder gold and silk children, and lure good people to do things under the sect... As I think, Manichaeism is now unusual, only trying to attract people to increase its momentum, and it has become more and more unscrupulous without avoiding the scruples of the government to search and investigate...... Shamo must also make a big deal on the same day. ”

Xiao Tang nodded when he saw this, and secretly thought in his heart that he still had a muffled voice to continue to be another reliance on the big forces, and estimated that the time would be in the south of the Yangtze River to wait for Fang La to lead the Manichaeism to rebel against the flag, according to the trajectory recorded in history, he called himself the Holy Prince, established the regime, and also taught the people of Li in all parts of the Jiangnan to respond, and even divided the river to defend not only to fight against the Song court, but even to gradually try to advance and overthrow the Great Song Dynasty...... Compared with the fact that although he was about to become a rebellious courtier who would eventually rebel against the imperial court, but did not occupy the important military states in the Song Dynasty at present, Jiangnan Manichaeism would undoubtedly surpass the several green forest soldiers and horses under his command, and become the most intolerable rebel force in the imperial court.

The Manichaean people under the command of that Fang Latong must also be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility of blocking the gun, and share the huge pressure of the imperial court to dispatch elite troops to crusade, Xiao Tang then said in a deep voice: "What the Jiasui brothers said that we want to rescue the second brother Wu, and the far-sighted worries of openly acting are indeed not negligent at all, although Zhu Mian and other traitorous officials over there in the south of the Yangtze River must be on guard in advance, whether it is to save people in Hangzhou or to think about how to deal with the thunderous anger of the imperial court, we have no external force to rely on......

Sending letters to Erlongshan Dazhai in Qingzhou, teaching the brothers in the village to allocate elite soldiers and horses, there are not many people, nearly 1,000 Yongjian were transferred to Jiangnan by waterway in batches, and it should not cause the military division of Jiangnan to be vigilant, as for the two Dazhai of Baiyun Mountain and Wuyi Mountain led by Pang Wanchun and Shi Bao brothers, I will also send letters to teach them to prepare early... In addition to the Yang Xu brothers, who still stayed in Bianjing to dispatch money and grain, Guan Zhong, Xiao Yi, San Lang, Shi Qian, Le He and Xiao Jiasui all set off with me to Hangzhou, when rescuing Second Brother Wu...... It's also time to meet the sect leader of that Fang La for a while. ”

Although Gao Yu, Tong Guan and other powerful traitors were instructed by Cai Jing, and they also sent some henchmen to pay close attention to the movements of the Xiao Mansion in Bianjing, but Xiao Tang secretly ordered Yang Xu to convert the various industries in Bianjing into floating wealth for a period of time, and only a few of the restaurants in the restaurant under his name were resold by the Bianjing Inner Tooth Shop, and they did not teach people to be suspicious and vigilant.

Zheng Tianshou, Hou Jian and other stewards who were originally in Bianliang, Tokyo, who were in charge of silver shops and tailors, were also instructed by Xiao Tang to turn three times and two times after leaving Beijing, and then went to the direction of Erlong Mountain in Qingzhou.

Xiao Tang knew that since Cai Jing's old ghost elf was going to teach him to personally go south to supervise the death penalty of his brother Wu Song, he had no intention of arresting his family members before that. When he set off for Hangzhou, Xiao Tang also thought about teaching Su Jinniang, Tang Pengxiu, Gao Zhanya, Li Shishi and other female dependents to leave Beijing in the name of traveling with provincial relatives. Only places such as Jinfeng Yulu Lou and a few restaurants that are prosperous and famous in Bianjing can inevitably teach people to see the clues, and they cannot be sold, at least the current Xiao Tang is still a senior member of the DPRK and China in an important position in Bianjing's official residence, and before he openly takes action and attracts the forbidden army in Bianjing, his own relatives and henchmen in Jinfeng Yululou and other places will be evacuated in advance.

Tokyo Menghua and the prosperous capital of the country, I am afraid that the next time I return here, in terms of my own identity, when I meet the civil and military courtiers I have met in Bianjingzhong, I will also be in a diametrically opposite position from now.

The family members and confidants in the Xiao Mansion were instructed by Xiao Tang, and they all began to prepare early, leaving only a pair of mother and daughter, but at this time, it was the first time that they were shocked to hear that they could not continue to live in Bianjing, so they had to follow Xiao Tang's subordinates and leave this place.

In the courtyard of the mansion in the Xiao Mansion, Qiong Ying's face was surprised, first she glanced at her mother-in-law Song Zhenniang, then looked at Ye Qing, the housekeeper who bowed down in front of her, and finally her eyes drifted to Xiao Tang's face next to her, obviously shocked by the sudden and important matter.

And the loyal Bo Yeqing, who was thrown into the Xiao Tang Mansion and still worked hard and complained, but still regarded Song Zhenniang and Qiongying's mother and daughter as the main mother and young master, said in a deep voice: "The villain already knew that Xiao Renxia was secretly planning a big event, not intentionally to hide it from Mrs. and Miss, but Xiao Renxia's big thing, and it seems to be related to the sea of blood, and one less person knows the danger of the incident... Now Xiao Renxia has made a decision, lest the court go down and hunt down the family members in the mansion...... In this Tokyo Bianliang, Mrs. and Miss are afraid that they will not be able to live in peace anymore. ”
