Do you have the strength to force me to join the Liangshan bandits?

Chapter 273 Keeping Song Jiang alive is more useful than killing him! [4 chapters, please subscribe]

On a small hill outside Longtou City, the eagle-eyed man stood guard, looking down at the Sancha River Port below.

After a long while, the hawk-eyed man sighed:
"It seems that Huang Bingnu and Zhang Zhaonu won't be coming out."

The burly, menacing man behind him asked:
"Strategist, could it be that Zengtou City has already been destroyed by the Southern Barbarian Emperor?"

"Do not."

Hawkeye the strategist shook his head:

"The Southern Barbarian Emperor doesn't have the guts; he doesn't dare to break ties with us."

The burly, ferocious man was taken aback: "If it weren't for the Southern Barbarian Emperor, who could have destroyed Zengtou City?"

"Marshal Xue, there are three other kingdoms within the Song Kingdom!"

Hawkeye strategist casually tested the ferocious giant:
Do you know which three countries they are?

The burly, ferocious-looking man tentatively asked, "Wei, Shu, Wu?"

"Marshal Xue, that was a long time ago!"

Hawkeye the strategist rolled his eyes in exasperation:

The Jin Dynasty is too arrogant, especially now that its strength is comparable to that of the Liao Dynasty!

If it weren't for the Fourth Prince's request for his generals, they probably wouldn't have been able to find even one general who could speak the Song language.

The Fourth Prince also required his generals to learn about the history of the Central Plains, so it seems Marshal Xue does have some knowledge...

They just confused history with current affairs.

That's understandable, since Marshal Xue is illiterate.

Hawkeye the strategist simply stated:
"These three states are Jin in Hebei, Chu in Huaixi, and Nan in Jiangnan."

Marshal Xue thought hard for two seconds:

"But what does this have to do with Zengtou City in Shandong?"

Eagle Eye Strategist: "There's also Liangshan Marsh in Shandong, which, along with these three kingdoms, is known as one of the 'Four Great Bandits'."

Marshal Xue suddenly realized: "The strategist means that Liangshan Marsh destroyed Zengtou City?"

The strategist with eagle eyes nodded: "The only one with the strength to destroy Zengtou City is Song Jiang of Liangshan."

"The last time I went to the Central Plains, it happened to be the time when Liangshan Marsh destroyed the Zhu Family Village."

"I knew Song Jiang was capable, but I didn't expect him to wipe out Zengtou City this time..."

Marshal Xue snorted: "They dare to arrest Huang Bingnu and Zhang Zhaonu, we'll go back and ask the Fourth Prince for instructions!"

"Send a troop of elite troops to wipe out Liangshan Marsh!"

"No!"

Hawkeye the strategist shook his head:

"Song Jiang is so capable, keeping him alive is more useful than eliminating him!"

Marshal Xue asked in bewilderment, "He's just a bandit, what use is he?"

Hawkeye chuckled: "He's incredibly useful; he can help us..."

"somebody is coming!"

Marshal Xue quickly looked around and saw five people on six horses heading towards Zengtou City along the main road.

After Zhang Li and Zhang Yong led Huang Bingnu and Zhang Zhaonu into Longtou City, the people keeping watch there were changed.

Several fishermen were sitting by the river fishing when they saw the five men and six riders. They immediately stood up to greet them.

"These five are most likely bandits from Liangshan Marsh..."

The strategist with eagle eyes squinted as he sized up the five people.

Although the distance is far, the outline of the person can still be seen, and those with obvious features are easy to guess.

The strategist with eagle eyes looked around and said, "I can't tell the others, but that woman is most likely Hu Sanniang."

Marshal Xue was stunned:

"The strategist has excellent judgment!"

"This humble general couldn't even see her face clearly, yet the strategist was able to call out her name immediately!"

"Where."

Hawkeye the strategist looked smug:

"There are very few women in the South who can ride horses and fight."

"There are only three female leaders in Liangshan Marsh. The information I received is that Hu Sanniang is over eight feet tall."

“Women this tall are extremely rare anywhere. Look at that woman’s legs, aren’t they long?” Marshal Xue slurped, “Long!”

"Let's go."

Hawkeye strategist turns his horse around:

"Now that Zengtou City has been destroyed by Liangshan Marsh, we need to think of another way."

Marshal Xue couldn't help but press, "Strategist, are we just going to let Zengtou City be destroyed for nothing?"

"rest assured."

Hawkeye the strategist said without turning his head:

"I'll make them pay."

At the same time, Shi Qian looked around on horseback:
"Brother, it seems like someone is watching us!"

Feeling guilty, Shi Qian remained highly vigilant at all times to avoid being caught red-handed.

"Have it?"

Cai Fu looked around but didn't see anyone, so he continued to ask the fisherman:

"You caught two spies?"

The fisherman: "Yes, Chief."

"Da Lang and Er Lang thought they were guests and led them inside."

"It just so happened that the Fourth Leader had something to discuss with the Eldest and Second Brothers, so the Eldest and Second Brothers brought the spy to see the Fourth Leader."

"The four leaders could tell at a glance that they weren't good people..."

"Wait a minute!"

Cai Fu knew that the four leaders were Yue Fei, but who were the eldest and second eldest brothers?
Cai Fu asked the fisherman, and the fisherman explained:
"Dalang and Erlang are two newly accepted disciples of the four leaders, and they are twin brothers!"
"The eldest son is named Zhang Li, and the second son is named Zhang Yong!"

"what?"

Cai Fu stared wide-eyed in disbelief:
Zhang Li? Zhang Yong?
Could they be Zhang Shuye's two foolish sons?

Cai Fu certainly sent people out to look for Zhang Li and Zhang Yong, but they couldn't find them even after searching all over Shandong.

Without knowing where they went, trying to find two people in the Song Dynasty is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

So Cai Fu just let things take their course. He never expected that he would find it so easily after searching high and low!
Now that he has found Zhang Li and Zhang Yong, he wants to see how Zhang Shuye will refuse him this time!

Cai Fu rode swiftly, leading Lu Junyi, Zhang Qing, Shi Xiu, Hu Sanniang, and Shi Qian into Longtou City.

Soon they found Yue Fei in Yue Fei's courtyard, where Yue Fei was instructing Zhang Li and Zhang Yong on how to use a staff.

"Seventh brother!"

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Yue Fei turned around with delight:
"Big brother, second brother?"

Without bothering to instruct Zhang Li and Zhang Yong, Yue Fei hurriedly ran to Cai Fu and Lu Junyi and embraced them one by one:

"Big brother, second brother, I've missed you so much!"

Cai Fu chuckled and ruffled Yue Fei's hair.
"Seventh brother, you've grown taller again! You're almost catching up with your eldest brother!"

Yue Fei chuckled. He was fourteen years old this year, the time when he was growing taller, and he would soon be eight feet tall.

After exchanging pleasantries with Cai Fu and Lu Junyi, Yue Fei remembered Zhang Li and Zhang Yong and quickly greeted them:

"Eldest brother and second brother, come and pay your respects to your uncles!"

Zhang Li and Zhang Yong then came to pay their respects to Cai Fu and Lu Junyi. Cai Fu was intentionally testing them:

Where did you two come from?

Without thinking much, Zhang Yong instinctively replied, "I'm from Jizhou!"

Cai Fu smiled and asked another question:
Jeju?
"Do you know Zhang Shuye, the prefect of Jizhou?"

"Shh!"

Zhang Li broke out in a cold sweat, and Zhang Li quickly covered for him:
"We don't know any governor!"
"We are scavengers!"

Although Zhang Li reacted quickly, how could he possibly hide it from Cai Fu?
Even their master, Yue Fei, at a young age, could tell at a glance that Zhang Li's words were not entirely true when he had doubts.

Yue Fei's face darkened: "Who are you people?"

Zhang Li and Zhang Yong tried to argue, but Yue Fei simply snorted coldly:
"Those who don't tell the truth will all be expelled from the sect!"

"Pfft!"

Zhang Li and Zhang Yong were dumbfounded. They hurriedly knelt on the ground, each grabbing one of Yue Fei's legs and wailing:
"Master, no—"
