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

Chapter 399 Liu Guangshi: You stinking traitor, you just wait and see! [2 Updates]

"Quack quack..."

The heavy drawbridge was immediately and slowly lowered, and the government troops on the city gate tower shouted in unison:

"Heroes of Liangshan, uphold justice and eliminate evil! The King of Justice, act on behalf of Heaven!"

The shouts were so synchronized, it was as if they had practiced it!
The shouts of hundreds of people converged, like thunder and a surging tide, resounding even through the clouds!
Come again?

Cai Fu's lips twitched subtly twice, and he glanced at Qiu Qiongying, who was beaming with pride, out of the corner of his eye:

You thought I was going to praise you, didn't you?

"hiss--"

Zhu Wu, Chen Da, and Yang Chun couldn't help but gasp:
Good grief! No wonder you find it troublesome!
So you've already taken Qingzhou City?
It's not surprising that Song Jiang took Qingzhou City, since he had taken it before and killed the then prefect of Qingzhou, Murong Yanda.

What's remarkable is that Cai Fu first captured Qingzhou City and then defeated the imperial army of 130,000, all in just one day!
Through their conversations along the way, Zhu Wu and the others already knew that Cai Fu had arrived the day before...

An average man can create one person at most in a day, but this man killed tens of thousands of people in a single day!

Is this guy even human?

Xu Ning gazed at Cai Fu's retreating figure with admiration. He had felt that Cai Fu was no ordinary person when he was with Song Jiang.

After following Cai Fu, Xu Ning was utterly amazed by Cai Fu's talent!
As for the matter of being granted amnesty... it's better not to!
The drawbridge was lowered, the city gates were opened, and Cai Fu led his 20,000-strong army into the city in a grand procession.

"Blue-Eyed Tiger" Li Yun stepped forward to greet him, his green eyes filled with bloodshot veins.

"Brother, I have accomplished my mission!"

Upon seeing the bloodshot eyes of Li Yun, Cai Fu knew that Li Yun must not have slept all night.

After dismounting, Cai Fu smiled and put his arm around Li Yun's shoulder as they walked forward, asking as they went:

"Have you persuaded them to surrender?"

Li Yun was very excited as Cai Fu put his arm around her shoulder:
"More than 7,000 imperial guards surrendered!"
"There are too many surrendered soldiers and too few of our soldiers, so we have no choice but to keep them tied up!"

This makes sense, since Cai Fu only left Li Yun with a thousand men, and it would be easy for trouble to happen if they weren't tied up.

"here you go!"

Cai Fu patted Li Yun on the shoulder with satisfaction:

"Did Murong Yanming cause any trouble?"

Li Yun: "Murong Yanming is very honest; he's stayed home the whole time and hasn't gone out."

Cai Fu was even more satisfied. If all the officials in the Song Dynasty were this honest, why would he have to worry about not being able to rule the country?
Cai Fu led Li Yun down the main street of Qingzhou, where surrendered soldiers were bound hand and foot.

Li Yun made a hand gesture, and the surrendered soldiers, who were bound hand and foot, immediately shouted in unison:

"Heroes of Liangshan, uphold justice and eliminate evil! The King of Justice, act on behalf of Heaven!"

The first round wasn't very orderly, since only a portion of the surrendered soldiers had seen Li Yun's hand gestures.

But soon all the surrendered soldiers started shouting, and after shouting several times, they gradually became more orderly and their voices became louder.

Cai Fu was speechless: "Brother, what are you doing...?"

"I dare not take credit for this!"

Li Yun honestly replied, "This was arranged by Chief Qiu; I was merely following orders!"

it is good!it is good!it is good!
Cai Fu turned around and glared at Qiu Qiongying, annoyed. This little brat is getting bolder and bolder!
I'll definitely give her a good beating when I get back!
Little brat, if you don't discipline her for three days, she'll be climbing on the roof and tearing off the tiles!
Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, Han Shizhong, and Yang Zhi took over the task of training the surrendered soldiers.

Cai Fu only took his two adopted sons, Yang Zaixing and He Yuanqing, to see Murong Yanming.

Murong Yanming, the cat, stayed at home and dared not go anywhere.

Now that the city is full of rebels and surrendered soldiers, where else can he go?
Don't forget, Liu Guangshi annihilated the Qingzhou garrison, and Murong Yanming has no soldiers left.

When he saw Cai Fu again, Murong Yanming relaxed, guessing that Cai Fu probably didn't want to kill him.

If Cai Fu wanted to kill him, he wouldn't need to come to see him at all; two henchmen would have been enough to take his life.

Fully aware of his current predicament, Murong Yanming immediately knelt before Cai Fu upon their meeting:
"Your Majesty, spare my life!" Cai Fu chuckled. "Prefect Murong, do you want to live or die?"

Murong Yanming hurriedly shouted, "Live! Live! Live!"

That's a huge survival instinct...

Cai Fu didn't laugh at him. Who doesn't want to live? If he didn't want to live, he wouldn't have forced Song Jiang to leave Liangshan.

Cai Fu: "If you want to live, you will assist my people in completing the handover."

"The handover is complete, you can leave now."

What is being handed over?
Murong Yanming was stunned for a moment, then his face turned pale after realizing what he meant.

The rebels actually want my city!
Honestly, Murong Yanming didn't want to give it up, but then he thought that he was just managing it for his brother-in-law...

Losing Qingzhou means losing territory, not people.

If we don't lose Qingzhou, we'll lose both people and land!

Forget it, at worst I'll just go back to Tokyo and get a scolding from my brother-in-law. I'd better just obediently cooperate with the rebels.

"I understand!"

Murong Yanming mentally prepared himself in just two seconds, displaying an exceptionally good mindset.

“Great!”

Cai Fu patted Murong Yanming on the shoulder with satisfaction:

"Yuanyuan, take Prefect Murong to hand over the duties."

He Yuanqing accepted the order and took Murong Yanming out to find Han Shizhong.

Actually, "Mastermind" Jiang Jing would have been a good candidate for this, but unfortunately he didn't come. Zhu Wu was also a good fit, but he got injured.

They had no choice but to settle for second best and hand it over to Han Shizhong, which would also be a good opportunity for Han Shizhong to get some experience.

……

"Can I finally go out?"

When the city's residents learned that the lockdown had been lifted, they flocked out of their homes.

They had expected chaos and turmoil outside, but to their surprise, the world was at peace.

The surrendered soldiers were taken away and brainwashed; within seven days, they would all be indoctrinated with Cai Fu's heroic deeds.

The stories of Cai Dao Wang's three disturbances in Daming Prefecture and Kaifeng Prefecture must be known by heart.

Of course, all of that is ancient history; now two new stories have been added:
A moment of rage for a beautiful woman, the Sword King Jiangnan turns the tide!

They traveled a thousand miles to aid Erlong Mountain, slaughtering 300,000 government troops!

Some of the gossip, such as "The Sword King's romantic journey to the northern frontier, where the Liao princess gifted him a city," will not be mentioned.

Overwhelmed by so many heroic deeds of Cai Fu, the surrendered soldiers quickly came to believe that Cai Fu was invincible.

The city's defenses were taken over by low-ranking members of Liangshan Marsh, who, under Cai Fu's orders, ensured they did not take a single needle or thread from the people.

The common people found this very strange, and therefore had no psychological resistance towards Cai Fu...

Liu Guangshi changed into the old man's clothes. They were a bit tight, but he figured he'd make do. What more could he ask for?

mingling in the crowd, Liu Guangshi walked onto the street and was astonished by the poor manners of the Liangshan outlaws.

No, are the requirements for low-level henchmen this high these days?
They were even taller than the government troops!
Was "Sai Xuande" really just a bandit?
Liu Guangshi shook his head, thinking that Cai Fu was definitely acting, and the henchmen were all acting too.

After all, even he couldn't refrain from taking a single needle or thread from the common people, so how could a lowly henchman from Liangshan Marsh possibly do so?

Having slipped out of the city gate, Liu Guangshi turned back and gave Qingzhou a cold look:
You filthy traitor, you better remember this!

【Don’t worry, there’s more to come】
