The army of Liangshanbo gathered in Yanggu. On the other side of Mengzhou, Zhang Kai did not have the slightest attitude of defending the Yellow River, and hurriedly led his troops back to the Daimyo's Mansion. There is no way, he has limited troops at hand, and the Yellow River has diverted several branches since Puyang, and the flow of water has been greatly reduced, and the Jingdong Ancient Road, which flows through Qilu, is the widest of several tributaries. The river is wide, the water flow is gentle, and there are many crossings along the river. Zhang Kai couldn't defend himself, so he could only lead his troops to retreat.

After all, the Daimyo Mansion was far taller and stronger than Mengzhou City. As long as you don't rush out of the city to fight, there are so many soldiers and horses in hand, with the young and strong in the city, and you can open yourself to think that you can defend the daimyo's mansion. In this way, when the imperial court transfers the western army and sweeps away the thieves, the country can be restored to peace.

After Zhang Kai's measures reached Yanggu, there was another wave of ripples in Liangshanbo's army.

"Brother, don't you really want to fight Zhang Kai under the fortified city of the Daimyo Mansion for the sake of Lu Junyi?" Yang Zhi was not depressed on his face. How wise was this Lu Dazhai master in the past, how could he drop the chain at the critical moment now?

The Blue-Faced Beast was a staunch supporter of the march into Gyeonggi Road.

Even Xu Ning, the golden gunner who was more silent than Lin Chong, did not agree with Lu Qianqiang to fight the Daimyo's Mansion. "Zhang Kai is a veteran general who has accumulated years, and he is old in the army, and he is by no means comparable to Liang Shijiemin's stupid officials. He was in charge of the defense of the Daimyo's Mansion, and in a short period of time, it was rare for our army to succeed. ”

Liang Shanbo has the most abundant time now, and after defeating Gao Yu's conquest, there will be no more threats to the entire Central Plains in the short term; But this time is also the most precious. Because after this period of time, they will face the strangulation of the most elite regiment of the old Zhao family. Liang Shanbo must establish a sufficient advantage during this time.

Xu Ning and Liang Shanbo have long been bound, and they have both lost and prospered each other. Naturally, he didn't want to see Lu Qian make the wrong move.

Lu Qian smiled lightly on his face, and his eyes looked around at the leaders present, knowing that there were not a few people who held such opinions. If there is only Liang Shijie in the Daimyo Mansion, it would be easy to do it, but now there is an extra open, and he will be in charge of the military, and it will be difficult to get his wish in the short term just by looking at the soldiers. Although the ten knots were taken down by Liangshanbo by land, what are the qualities of these green forest old-timers, and how can Lu Qian not know it? None of them are good stubble.

Liangshanbo's current time is so critical, and it is not worth spending a lot of time on the Daimyo's Mansion.

This matter is actually a kind of silent change, a kind of transformation of Liangshanbo from a green forest village and a brother in the rivers and lakes to a force that competes for the world.

At the time of the former, Liang Shanbo was righteous in the rivers and lakes, and face was the first, and this rescue of Lu Junyi was the right one; The latter is based on interests.

In the current situation, many leaders think that the gains of the two dozen daimyo mansions outweigh the losses. Even if Li Si cut first and then played, he had already used the name of Liang Shanbo to spread headless posts in the Daimyo's Mansion.

In other words, in the eyes of many leaders, the rescue of Lu Junyi and Liang Shanbo's face is no longer more important than actual benefits.

"What do the leaders mean, how can I, Lu Qian, not know? Ming attacked the Daimyo's mansion, but the gains outweighed the losses. "But what if you don't attack and fight?

As early as the last time he attacked the Daimyo's Mansion, Lu Qian had already secretly planted an ambush. After all, a lot of the officials and soldiers of the Daimyo Mansion were captured at the beginning.

Lu Qian beckoned and asked Tang Wu to hang up a map, which was one of the captures of the last time the Daimyo's Mansion City was breached, a map that included half of the Central Plains. He hadn't thought about beating the Daimyo's Mansion at all.

"The brothers here are all their own families, Lu Qian said to the brothers. This move to Hebei was intentional. ”

"I know that my brothers want to go straight to the city of Tokyo, so that the emperor Lao Tzu can see the power of my cottage, first, to promote my prestige; The second is to pave the way for the separatist side in the future. ”

Although there are many soldiers and horses in the city, they are all vulnerable. Even the so-called Fourth Army is full of goods. The forbidden troops in the state capitals of various parts of Gyeonggi Road are also unbearable, and even if they come to the city of Tokyo, they only come to deliver food. If the army of Yangsanbo lasted outside Tokyo for a while, and then defeated a few soldiers and horses coming to the aid of Gyeonggi Road, it would really make everyone in the world know about it. It is also inevitable that the emperor of the Zhao family and the characters in the court will remember the word "Liang Shanbo". When Liang Shanbo wanted to claim the title of feudal domain in Tokyo in the future, they also had to think twice.

It can be said that the group of people represented by Yang Zhi think so. But Lu Qian always felt that such an approach was too stimulating for the old Zhao family and the court. made the majesty of the old Zhao family lose everything, and it was too hated. And what are the benefits to Liang Shanbo after the majesty of the old Zhao family is lost? Or is it more beneficial to Manichaeism, Wang Qing, Tian Hu and the like? That's self-explanatory.

The breath in the tent settled. Lu Qian's words make sense. That bit of false fame is not as important as real profit, and it is more like a part of Manichaeism for Huaixi's arms.

The first ones rot first. Everyone knows this sentence.

Liangshanbo's prestige was cast early, and no matter how majestic the old Zhao family was, it was more Manichaeism and the Huaixi Army that benefited from it, rather than Liangshanbo.

"I, Liangshanbo, have repeatedly defeated the official army, and now I have defeated Gao Yu's 200,000 horses, and I have long been famous all over the world. Rushing to the city of Tokyo is just icing on the cake. It can't really break the city of Tokyo. ”

The real test of Liang Shanbo is the Western Army, which stimulates the old Zhao family to go crazy, and Lu Qian has no benefit. It must be admitted that although Lu Qian is not afraid of the Western Army in his heart, he still regards the Western Army as a real opponent in his bones. Thinking about the size of the Western Army, which has as many as 320,000 people, my heart is still heavy.

Yang Zhi, Xu Ning and others laughed dumbly. In terms of Liang Shanbo's current military strength, how can he easily take Tokyo City. There are millions of soldiers and civilians there, and hundreds of thousands of military uniforms are stockpiled in the arsenal, and with a little rectification, you can pull out a team that should still be a waste in the field, but it is feasible to defend the city.

"If he can really break Tokyo City, Lu Qian will definitely not give up. Think of the incredible wealth of Tokyo. Not to mention the granary treasury there and the wealth of countless important ministers of the clan, just to say that the craftsmen in Tokyo City are a valuable asset to my Liangshan. ”

Unfortunately, this is not a possibility.

The forbidden army in Tokyo City is lo, and the old Zhao family is still holding the Fourth Army. Although these four soldiers and horses are no longer as good as when the country was founded, they can be gathered and retracted, and there are still 30,000 or 20,000 soldiers and horses who are willing to work for the Zhao family. With this as the foundation, with a little rectification, the 100,000 army can be changed. And the soldiers and horses of Zhengzhou, Chenliu, Chenzhou, and Yingchang can come to Tokyo City every day, and they are closer to Tokyo City than Liangshanbo. Therefore, the largest city on earth today has no shortage of defenders.

Even in the original historical time and space, the second battle of Tokyo was not the fault of Geng Nanzhong and Tang Ke, who did not think about the overall situation, blindly "had the courage to fight privately", and only cared about excluding dissidents. did not hesitate to dismiss many of the Qinwang troops who came to help, how could the city of Tokyo be outnumbered in wartime? There were twice as many gold troops outside the city as there were defenders in the city.

Let Lu Qian see, this is the ugly face of the scholar in the era of literati politics, how similar is it to the party struggle in the late Ming Dynasty?

There were certainly those who were generous to the country, but many more had only their own interests in their eyes. If it is said that they have no way to govern and save the country, but when they intrigue with each other and play tricks of power, they are full of wisdom and wit.

The death of the Northern Song Dynasty was due to the death of Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan's father and son, and even more to the death of the Northern Song Dynasty scholars.

But those weaknesses were only found by the scholars when they were faced with the destruction of the Liao State, a behemoth that had been pressing on China since the founding of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Wanyan Jurchen raised an army with 2,000 people, and in ten years destroyed the Khitan with hundreds of thousands of armor, and the tens of thousands of remnants of the Khitan people could still cleanly defeat the 200,000 elites of the old Zhao family, and the Jurchens were naturally a myth to the scholars and doctors of the Song Dynasty. Congenitally, they are a head shorter than each other.

So it's no surprise that their bones are soft.

But it is also this group of scholars and doctors, who have been unusually firm and tough from beginning to end in the face of the rebellion of the grass robbers in the country.

Killing them all is their usual method.

Lu Qian felt that if he sent troops to the city of Tokyo at this moment, Zhao Ji and the important ministers in the city would never bend their knees to seek peace, but would only summon the world's soldiers and horses.

And with the current strength of the Liangshan Army, it is impossible to capture Tokyo in a short period of time.

This is a magnificent giant city with an outer city more than 60 miles long, and an inner city and a royal palace inside. There is a moat around the outer city, and it will not be able to take it down in the short term. As for the flooding of the Yellow River, it is even more ridiculous.

There is a reason why the Jin army in history did not do this. In the 21st century, the Yellow River is very close to the city of Kaifeng. But what about the Yellow River at this time? That's south of Puyang and north of Huazhou. There are still hundreds of miles away from Kaifeng City.

Sending troops to Tokyo like this will not make much money. Liangshanbo is already famous. The biggest possibility is that the Liangshan army will show off its strength and then take the initiative to retreat. Lu Qian would not be stupid enough to garrison the city for a long time, or see the officers and soldiers from all over the country arriving in a steady stream, and then have no choice but to retreat. In that case, the blade of the soldier is already dull.

"But what is the benefit of such an act in my Liangshan?" Lu Qian asked everyone present, and there was silence in the military tent.

"The land of Qilu is all in my bag, and I don't need to care about morning or night. At present, our army should take this opportunity to earn more tangible profits. ”

"Everyone should not see only the Daimyo's Mansion. The Puyang Kaide Mansion under it and the Xiangzhou Zhangde Mansion on the side are also fat and oily places. It is also a military key place of the Song Dynasty. "That Puyang is Lanzhou, which is not only the main waterway connecting the north and south of the river, but also the important town of the Yellow River that the old Zhao family focuses on, and is the gateway to Tokyo. There are an unknown number of weapons and armor hidden in the treasury. And Zhangde Mansion is also Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, the young Yue Feiyue is handsome and does not mention it, there is only one Han family, and the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren do not know how much wealth they have accumulated in a hundred years.

The Han family is a big family, which can be traced back to the Middle Tang Dynasty at the earliest. The eighth ancestor Han served as the secretary of Yizhou to join the army, the seventh ancestor Han Huan served as the secretary of Dengzhou to join the army, and the sixth ancestor Han Quan lived in seclusion. Han Quan has three sons, named Han Bin, Han Wencao and Han Cun. That Han Bin is Han Qi's fifth generation ancestor. The big family is flourishing, so there is no need to say how amazing the wealth is.

Of course, it is undeniable that this is all Lu Qian's excuse.

But in the end, it is a reasonable reason, don't be famous, but make real gains. Lu Qian gathered a large army to go north, and the real target was not only Beijing, but also Kaide Mansion and Zhangde Mansion. If you want to take the opportunity to give it a big hug, anyway, the wealth of Qilu Land is already in their pocket, and they won't escape?

The Ruan brothers and Li Jun had already taken some elite sailors and infiltrated Dengzhou in batches. In recent years, Liang Shanbo has built a secret sea ship in Dengzhou to train sailors in order to serve Lu Qian's lofty plans. Now they're going to come in handy. They were to block the port of Dengzhou and the port of Banqiao Town in Michigan if necessary. See how Qilu's wealth can be leaked?

If so, no one will come to ask Lu Junyi.

With Lu Qian's urine, Lu Junyi is probably bound to be included in the cottage.

It's just that Li Si, the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped. Punishment was inevitable, and Lu Qian did not delay a word, and said cleanly and neatly that he would be punished to the end. He should be guilty of meritorious service in the future.

The false proclamation of the Holy Decree is, for whatever purpose, this trend must not rise.

But in the final analysis, these are all scenes, and the real reason is that everyone here has already felt the change in their hearts.

If earlier, there was suddenly an extra hero like Lu Junyi in the cottage, then they don't know how happy they would be. Even if there is a price to pay. But now they all seem to have changed.

When the plan to cut off Jiaodong is getting closer and closer, when Liangshanbo is growing and growing step by step to look at the world, everyone knows what it has become.
