After Zhao Ji, the emperor of the Daojun Emperor of the imperial court, adopted the strategy of attacking Fang La's side and winning over Liangshan's side, Shi Jin soon received the news.

Seeing that the imperial court really focused on Fang La's body, even Gao Yu's 100,000 troops were going to be transferred to Jiangnan.

Shi Jin invited Zhu Wu, Wu Yong, Zhu Gui and others over.

Shi Jin handed Zhu Wu the latest letter and said, "What do you think about the current situation!" ”

After several years of tempering, Zhu Gui has also exercised a good ability to analyze and judge. He opened his mouth and said, "Big brother, I think I can pretend to be Zhao'an, confuse the imperial court, and then suddenly attack and capture Jeju!" ”

After reading the information, Zhu Wu said to Shi Jinjin: "I don't agree! The eldest brother is famous all over the world, and how many heroes and heroes come to take refuge because of the reputation of the eldest brother. If the eldest brother accepted Zhao'an, he rebelled. There will be many people who think that the eldest brother is a capricious villain, which damages the reputation of the eldest brother and causes irreparable impact. If you want to compete in the Central Plains, the eldest brother needs to recruit more people with lofty ideals in the world, and he must not do anything that damages his reputation. In this way, it will be detrimental to the big brother's future events. This recruitment, the eldest brother is unacceptable no matter what! ”

After reading the information, Wu Yong shook his feather fan and said, "I can't accept it, but I can't accept it either." If we let the court know that we refuse to recruit An, in order to eliminate hidden dangers, we will inevitably raise troops to attack us, which will only cheapen Fang La. So my opinion is drag! did not accept or refuse, and dragged until Fang La to raise troops first. Wait until the imperial court has a heavy army to the south, this is our chance to get started! ”

Shi Jin thought for a while and asked, "Fang Lana is not incompetent. Presumably, he didn't know that the court already knew that he was the leader of Manichaeism, but he was afraid that he was also waiting for the court to send heavy troops to surround and suppress us. If he keeps dragging his feet, then we won't be able to do it! ”

Wu Yong shouted: "Don't worry about this big brother. Thanks to the eldest brother's obscurity all along, and he took the initiative to give up the capture of the city, although our Liangshan was also scupped by the imperial court. But judging from the matter of recruiting an this time, there are still many people in the court who think that we are the other party who can be recruited. Now the imperial court is even more afraid of Fang La. Otherwise, it would be impossible to raise the army and go south. As for Fang La's desire to delay, he was afraid that the court would not either. The longer it drags on, the more believers Fang La will have, and it will not be conducive to the extermination of the imperial court. Even the eldest brother can knock on the mountain and shake the tiger, forcing Fang La to revolt quickly! ”

Shi Jin nodded when he heard it and said, "It's not good for us to delay it for too long." Since this is the case, then force Fang La to revolt quickly, Brother Wu Yong, this matter will be handed over to you, and I will let Zhu Gui assist you! ”

Wu shook the feather fan and said with a smile: "Yes, big brother! ”

Shi Jin turned his head to Zhu Wu and said, "Brother Zhu Wu, the three armies have not been moved, and the grain and grass will go first." During this time, you are responsible for preparing money, rations, and military equipment. As long as Fang La fights together, it will be the time for us to send troops! ”

Zhu Wu arched his hand and said, "Yes, big brother!" ”

After Shi Jin inspected everyone, he shouted: "Everyone's years of hard preparation are for now, whoever dares to slack off, don't blame this big brother for being unsympathetic!"

Zhu Wu, Wu Yong, Zhu Gui and others shouted in unison: "Big brother, don't worry." I won't delay the big thing!"

Although Shi Jin did not openly intend to rebel, the leaders of Liangshan noticed from Liangshan's recent actions that the eldest brother Shi Jin was only afraid that he was going to make a big move.

I didn't see that those family members on the mountain were all sent to Liu Island. A large amount of grain and grass was also purchased from outside in various ways for hoarding.

The firearms workshop in Houshan also works overtime to produce firearms.

Some of the leaders were very excited, feeling that after a few years of nesting in Liangshan, the eldest brother finally woke up.

Some of the leaders were secretly worried, thinking that the eldest brother was too risky.

But whether they are excited or worried, they are all seriously doing their own thing.

The whole of Liangshan was preparing and waiting.

On the side of the imperial court, Su Yuanjing took the holy decree all the way to Liangshan and marched towards Liangshan.

Gao Yu received the order to lead the army south, and at the same time sent his henchmen to inquire about the information of Fang La and Manichaeism.

After Tong Guan's repeated requests, Emperor Daojun Zhao Ji transferred another 30,000 soldiers and horses from the forbidden army, together with Tong Guan's 20,000 western troops, stationed in Juancheng to guard against Liangshan.

In the south of the Yangtze River, Chai Jin and Fang La returned to Muzhou. Fang La's hard work to win over Chai Jin was richly rewarded.

With the financial support of the Chai family, Fang La wantonly bought clothes and banners, bought grain and grass, and recruited customers.

Fang La had originally attracted an army of more than 10,000 believers, plus the newly recruited Zhuang Ke, Fang La had 30,000 soldiers and horses for a while.

And as Chai Jin posted a post and invited heroes from all walks of life, those who heard Chai Jin's fame in the rivers and lakes and green forests Yao Yi, Wen Kerang, Mao Di, Wang Ren, and Zhang Tao all rushed to take refuge.

For a time, Fang La wanted money and money, people and food!

Fang La saw that since Chai came in, his power was growing rapidly, and he felt that rescuing Chai Jin was a really wise decision.

When Fang La, Chai Jin, and Lu Shisang were discussing whether to contact the gang of thieves in Liangshan and form an alliance.

That night, more than a dozen people wrote in Hangzhou with red paint on the door of hundreds of people's homes: Kill pigs and pick covers, the darkness is about to pass, and the light is coming!

When it was dawn, the people of Hangzhou saw it, and for a while, the people of Hangzhou were talking about it.

After the prefect of Hangzhou found out, he immediately sent someone to destroy and cover these words, which was no longer useful.

Not to mention that basically the people of Hangzhou know about it, and Hangzhou is a metropolis in the Great Song Dynasty, and the people and businessmen who come and go every day are endless.

They had to move and spread the word.

In the Hangzhou Mansion, Chen Jian, the envoy of the Liangzhejiang Road System, looked at Zhao Ting, the prefect of Hangzhou, and shouted, "How did you do the prefect of Hangzhou, so that people can confuse the people with evil words, and find out who did this great rebellious thing?" ”

Zhao Ting wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied, "Lord Hui, this official hasn't found out yet." However, the lower officials have already asked someone to send more people to investigate! ”

Zhao Yue shouted dissatisfiedly: "Do you not know, or don't dare to check, or don't want to check at all?" ”

Zhao Ting said in a panic: "What did the lord say, why didn't the lower officials want to find out this daring thief!" ”

Zhao Yue shouted: "Since this is the case, what do you need to hesitate to directly send troops to arrest people!" In Hangzhou, only six-year-old children know who did this. Do you Hangzhou prefect know? Or have you colluded with Fang La, ready to do internal response? ”

Zhao Ting hurriedly shouted: "The loyalty of the lower officials to the Great Song Dynasty to the Holy Lord can be shown to the sun and the moon!" ”

Zhao Yue shouted, "Then arrest someone!" ”

Zhao Ting said helplessly: "My lord should also know that Fang La's reputation in Jiangnan, if there is no conclusive evidence to arrest him, something big will happen!" ”

Chen Jian shouted: "Marshal Gao Yu commands 100,000 elite soldiers, and he will be in Jiangnan soon." He sent a message to us to warn Fang La to get the news and run away in advance, so it would be difficult to arrest him. The palace marshal ordered us to take advantage of Fang La's defenselessness to send troops to find and capture this thief. With an army on the side, even if there are ignorant believers who want to make trouble, they will not be able to make any waves! ”

Hearing that the palace commander commanded 100,000 soldiers and horses to go south, Zhao Ting suddenly had confidence and shouted: "I implore your lord to send troops to assist, and the lower officials will definitely be able to capture Fang La!" ”

"Okay, this official will transfer 5,000 soldiers and horses to you!" Chen Jian shouted.

"Thank you, sir!"

I heard that Fang La was staying in Qingxi County, and while the night was dark, the soldiers and horses were all supervising Cai Zun and Yan Tan, and led 5,000 soldiers and horses to quietly touch Fang La's home under the guidance of Weng Kai, the county governor of Qingxi County.
