The news of the imperial court's dispatch of troops spread to Liangshan within half a day, and Chao Gai naturally did not dare to slack off after hearing it, and hurriedly summoned all the generals and officials in charge of Liangshan to the meeting hall of Liangshan, which was the original Juyi Hall, after all, it was already a regular rebel army, and it was a little unreasonable to do some reckless things.

When the people they came to the meeting hall, they all had solemn faces, that is, the living Yan Luo Ruan Xiaoqi, the black whirlwind Li Kui and others who were not afraid of the sky and the earth on weekdays were silent with their heads down, after all, Liangshan was really not suitable to send troops to fight again, and after two consecutive months of expeditions, Liangshan's military horses were already exhausted, and if they fought again at this time, the chances of victory would be greatly reduced.

Besides, this time the imperial court is determined to exterminate Liangshan, elite soldiers and strong generals, many soldiers and horses is the most in the past, He Taiping, Zhang Shuye and others are outstanding people in civil and military affairs, this can be said to be the biggest difficulty since the Liangshan Uprising.

Seeing that everyone was here, Chao Gai nodded, and then asked Zhu Gui of the Ministry of Military Intelligence to tell everyone about the information, Zhu Gui, who was sitting below, answered, and then said: "Brothers, this time the imperial court sent nearly 500,000 soldiers and horses, elite soldiers, well-equipped, and iron-hearted to put our Liangshan to death, the court officials Shangshu He Taiping is the commander, Haizhou Taishou Zhang Shuye served as the vanguard general, Du Jingshan, Wang Yuanming, Yu Hetai, Changqi, Yang Bo, Peng An, Su Lun, Fan Cheng, Wang Zi, Yuan Xin, Bi Qisheng, Wu Huarong, Fei Zhengxin, Dai Yuanzhong, Bian Feixing, Xiao Taiqing,

Feng Hu and Yuan Shi were eighteen generals with the army, and they were menacing. ”

"The Metropolitan Governor, although the imperial court is a soldier general, but my Liangshan military horses are not vegetarian, the southern expedition and the northern war have not tasted a defeat, even if he Zhang Shuye, He Taiping and others have the ability to reach the sky, my Liangshan brothers are united, unite as one, the imperial court can not take advantage of the slightest advantage, the last general leopard head Lin Chong to fight!" As soon as Zhu Gui's words fell, Lin Chong, the head of the leopard head of the Liangshan Special Legion next to him, couldn't help but stand up, full of righteous indignation and full of fighting spirit.

"That's right, Brother Chao Gai, our Liangshan heroes are all top heroes, only 500,000 people, I Tie Niu don't take it seriously, brother, I Tie Niu is also willing to be a pioneer, not to mention anything else, even my division can beat them to the ground, farts and urine!"

"I'm going to fight too!"

"Yes, we Liangshan haven't been afraid of anyone yet, it's good if their officers and soldiers don't come at that time, if they come, let them taste the power of our Liangshan military horses, come one to kill him, come two, kill them a pair!"

With Lin Chong taking the lead, the fighting spirit of everyone in the meeting hall was stimulated, and they stood up and asked for battle, Chao Gai looked at everyone's reaction and nodded, very satisfied, the big war is coming, the most important thing is morale, one drum, let go to be able to survive a hundred battles.

At that moment, Chao Gai stretched out his hand and pressed down, signaling everyone to be quiet, and for a while, the originally noisy meeting hall instantly became very quiet, everyone did not speak, sat there quietly and watched Chao Gai, waiting for Chao Gai to issue a military order.

Seeing that the hall was quiet, Chao Gai then spoke: "Brothers, the imperial court sent a large army to conquer my Liangshan military horses, although it is said that our army has successively captured Shandong East Road, Shandong East Road, occupied many cities, and the chassis is vast, but we can't be complacent, Liangshan military horses have expanded from more than 100,000 people to hundreds of thousands, the combat effectiveness has dropped greatly, the armament is slightly insufficient, Liangshan has not really controlled the occupied city, so the imperial court is menacing, and our challenge is great. ”

"However, it's not that we don't have a chance of winning, and we can't sit idly by, although the imperial court has a large number of generals, but most of them are some forbidden troops who have not lacked training for a long time, and there are new recruits who have just been recruited, and there are only a few hundred thousand people who can really have the power to fight, and the people who lead the army are scholars, although they are honest and honest, but the way of unifying the army will inevitably have shortcomings, on the contrary, my brothers in Liangshan are all battle-hardened and can recruit people who are used to fighting, in contrast, the imperial court military horses are not to be feared."

As soon as Chao Gai's words fell, Xu Guanzhong, the military advisor next to him, also stood up, smiled slightly, and said confidently: "What the governor said is very true, and I Liangshan has been operating in Shandong for many years, and the people everywhere I go are all eating pot pulp, and the road is welcome, and the land reform system implemented by Liangshan, the people who really benefit are those people, once the imperial court attacks, the land that the people have just been allocated will be turned into nothing, and the people's will will undoubtedly win." ”

"Okay, what Xu Junshi said was really to the point, and the task now is to prepare for war with all his might to meet the upcoming imperial army."

Chao Gai waved his hand, with the intention of scolding Fang Xuan, and immediately ordered: "Pass on my general's order, from today onwards, all legions on Liangshan will enter a state of combat alert, and each legion will be strictly trained to prepare to meet the imperial army." ”

"Order!" Hearing this, Lin Chong and the others stood up in charge of the special legion's soldiers and horses, hugged their fists towards Chao Gai, and shouted in unison.

Then Chao Gaiyou said: "The Ministry of Military Intelligence is making every effort to find out the news of the imperial army, when they send troops, when they pass by there, even what they eat for three meals a day, and when the generals go to the thatched house, I have to find out clearly, no matter how big or small." ”

As soon as Chao Gai's words fell, Zhu Gui, the secretary of the Military Intelligence Department below, stood up, his face expressionless, but his tone was firm, and said, "My subordinates take orders." ”

Zhu Gui can be said to be the veteran level of Liangshan, when he went up the mountain, he was appointed as the leader by Chao Gai, responsible for the intelligence work of Liangshan, so much trust also moved Zhu Gui, and he ran Liangshan's intelligence network wholeheartedly.

Zhu Gui is the founder of Liangshan's intelligence work, and it can also be said that he has personally watched the intelligence network grow from scratch little by little, from small to large, and his contribution is indispensable; as for the intelligence work that Yan Qing, Lehe and others were responsible for, it was all after Zhu Gui established the intelligence network.

Seeing Zhu Gui's performance, Chao Gai couldn't stop praising in his heart, clean and neat, and after explaining the intelligence work, Chao Gai continued: "The Political Department and the Propaganda Department must do a good job in propaganda work, so that all officers and men in our army must understand the importance of this war, carry forward the spirit of not being afraid of hardship, tiredness, and death, and win the hearts of the people to our side of Liangshan." ”

"Obey the order, the Metropolitan Governor rest assured." Zhi Duoxing Wu Yong of the Political Department and Tie Zhi Zile of the Propaganda Department stood up and said.
