The Great Song Dynasty has always been a prosperous and lively dynasty.

Growing up in the Great Song Dynasty, even the lowest and poorest tenant villagers, in the interval of weekday work, also like to sit around the village and gossip about what is famous in the rivers and lakes, how corrupt officials in the court are and so on.

If you have a little money, you like to go to the Washe, the Flutter Society, and the teahouse, drink tea, listen to music, listen to books, play football, and watch sumo games, and in private, you also like to discuss all kinds of lively current affairs gossip, and enjoy it.

During this time, the people everywhere talked about it the most, and the rumors were naturally the war of the Western thieves attacked by the imperial court, as well as the news that the Liangshan Army was about to go out to Western Xia.

In particular, the Liangshan army rose like a comet, and was defeated one after another in a short period of time, and it can even be said that the whole family court army of 65,000 people, and now it has accepted the imperial court's recruitment, and the news that it is about to send out to attack Western Xia is like growing wings, and it has spread all over the north and south of the river in a very short time, and it can be said that everyone knows about it.

The biggest influence of this is naturally the Liangshan army as an example, as if overnight, the world's heroes, bandits everywhere are all rejoicing, and the major strongmen have begun to make a big move, recruit talents, and even attack each other.

After the initial round of mergers and acquisitions of small hills, joint of big mountains, and continuous mergers and reorganizations, now the land of Hedong in Hebei, the land of Jinghu in western Beijing, and many places in the south of the Yangtze River have gradually appeared three larger forces headed by Tian Hu, Wang Qing, and Fang La.

And according to the current situation, the three forces are still growing, I am afraid that it will not be long before they can unify the local green forest forces, and even have the strength to attack the state and county and divide one side.

Of course, for the time being, these three forces have not yet taken action, and are only staying at the stage of annexing and co-opting other mountains, so their impact on the people everywhere is almost negligible.

Now the thing that all the people are most concerned about is, is the Liangshan army really going to go out to crusade against Western Xia?

Everyone knows that from the very beginning of its establishment, the Great Song Dynasty implemented a policy of emphasizing the inside and neglecting the outside, and strictly preventing the growth of local forces from threatening the central government.

The Liangshan Army was established less than a year ago and defeated the two imperial armies almost effortlessly, even a fool can see that the imperial court must regard it as a big trouble, and want to get rid of it quickly!

Originally, according to most people's assumptions, the forbidden armies of the other roads of the imperial court had been abolished, and even the elite of the imperial camp was no match for the Liangshan army.

It is said that this time the official family has made up their minds to annihilate this gang of bandits who have been in the northwest for more than 100 years and fight a war to destroy the country.

But the western thief has been a disaster for a hundred years, even if it is weak now, but the hundred-legged insect dies without stiffening, how can it be annihilated so quickly?

In the eyes of the majority of the people, this war of annihilation of the country cannot be fought in three or five years.

It is said that now the western army has surrounded Xingqing Mansion on all sides, and the western thieves are also desperately attacking the fortress besieged by the western army, and the war has entered a stalemate stage, and the 200,000 western troops have been dragged by the western thieves.

At this time, the Liangshan army should stick to the foundation, grow and develop little by little, and wait until three or five years later, the western army has eliminated the western thieves, and the strength of the Liangshan army has also grown to hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, and it is no longer able to control it.

At that time, no matter whether the Western Army suffered heavy losses after defeating the Western Thieves, the Liangshan Army could completely rely on its own strength to wrestle with the Western Army and the Great Song Dynasty.

And if the imperial court didn't want to see the Liangshan army develop and grow so comfortably, it would either send forbidden troops from all over the country to continue to conquer and suppress, and then be defeated by the Liangshan army again and again, surrender, and send vegetables to the Liangshan army again and again to feed it and feed it strong.

Either the Western Army can only be dispatched to attack the Liangshan Army, but in this way, the war to destroy the Western Thieves will inevitably be seriously affected, and maybe the Western Thieves who only have one breath left will resurrect, or even turn defeat into victory, severely damage the main force of the Western Army, and threaten the entire Guanzhong, and even Xijing Luoyang.

This is undoubtedly a situation that is extremely difficult for the imperial court to accept.

Therefore, the current situation can be said to be extremely unfavorable to the imperial court, but extremely favorable to the Liangshan army, as long as the Liangshan army guards the foundation and develops steadily, the situation will definitely develop in a favorable direction for the Liangshan army.

But no one expected that the military master of Liangshan Army Lin would make such a stinky move, and he actually offered to send his army to attack the Western Thief.

Isn't that stupid?

You must know that if the Liangshan army really went on an expedition against the Western Thieves, and they were unfamiliar with the place, once they fell into a siege or were dragged by the Western Thieves and were in a stalemate, then the Western Army on the side of the imperial court would definitely be happy to see it.

Once the 40,000 main forces were wiped out or severely damaged by the Western Thieves, the Liangshan Army would bring about its own destruction.

Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if the Liangshan army is extremely brave and really helps the Western Army to destroy the Western Thieves, it will inevitably lose its troops and generals, and release the 200,000 Western troops who were originally firmly held back by the Western Thieves.

Isn't this to untie the hands and feet of the Western Army in advance, so that they can come back and beat themselves?

Not to mention, the 40,000 main forces of the Liangshan Army are on an expedition to the Western Thieves, and the land where Liangshan is based must be empty, and when the time comes, the imperial court will suddenly turn its face and dispatch a large army to encircle and suppress, won't the Liangshan Army perish in one day?

Because of this common idea, most people do not understand it.

Regardless of the position, everyone just thinks that Lin Chong has run such a business in less than a year, and he shouldn't make such a foolish mistake.

Of course, not everyone thinks so, and some of these literati doctors, such as Gu Pengzhen, the former student leader who had a grudge with Lin Chong more than a year ago, and Gu Pengzhen, the magistrate of Linpu County, Puzhou, have his own unique views on this.

That night, when the Liangshan army had a big banquet for Zhang Zhenniang and Lin Chong was celebrating on the right, in the backyard of Linpu County, the talented Gu Pengzhen sneered after drinking a large glass of beer: "This Lin Chong is fame and reputation, arrogant!" Act too much to blame, and take advantage of everything! ”

And sitting opposite him was his best friend, Cha Huairen, who also had a grudge with Lin Chong early in the morning, and hurriedly asked earnestly when he heard this: "I don't know what Brother Peng Zhen means by this?" ”

Listening to Gu Pengzhen's cold snort, he pointed out the country: "The world says that Lin Chong, the main force of the Chinese army, is stupid to expedition to the West Thief, but I can't see that this guy wants to win the hearts of the righteous people, indicating that the Liangshan army is not a bandit, but dedicated to the people and the country."

But is there a reason in this world that can have both worlds? If you want too much, you will end up with nothing. The main force of the Liangshan Army went on an expedition to the Western Thieves to fight for the righteous name of the Liangshan Army, so as to fight for the hearts of the people for another rebellion in the future; And the rest of the army stayed in Liangshan, because he thought that the imperial court would not have a naval army, so he could not help the Liangshan army.

But then did he think that everything was in his calculations? As soon as the 40,000 main forces of the Liangshan Army pass through Hengshan, then several soldiers and horses of the imperial court will be in Jeju and Yunzhou, and the naval army of Jinling Jiankang Mansion will also be transferred to Jingdong, and then we will see how this guy ends! ”
