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

Chapter 433 Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river; don't underestimate the poor in middle age! [3rd update, please vote!]

Qin Ming wasn't alone; Lin Chong thought the same thing. They had already missed their best opportunity to confront Cai Fu...

Lin Chong was filled with deep regret!

When he went on the mission with Cai Fu, he could have easily taken the opportunity to fall into Cai Fu's arms!
It's a pity he didn't, otherwise he would have been a loyal subject who helped the emperor rise to power!

Lin Chong heard that Lu Junyi, Wu Song, Yang Zhi, and Sun Li had all become commanders-in-chief of a prefecture.

Even those who joined Liangshan later, such as Zhang Qing and Han Shizhong, all became generals of a prefecture.

If he had joined Cai Fu's camp back then, why would he have had to wander the Jianghu in misery with Song Jiang?

But what's done is done, and Lin Chong, like Qin Ming, didn't want to become a nobody under Cai Fu.

That's life; often, choice is more important than effort.

As for Wu Yong, Li Kui, Lei Heng, Zhang Heng, Kong Ming, and Kong Liang, they are all deeply bound to Song Jiang and cannot leave.

They themselves did not believe that by siding with Cai Fu, they could gain his trust.

So even if some of them were tempted, they could only sigh inwardly and dare not think too much about it.

Song Jiang watched helplessly as the four outcasts of Huangmen Mountain, Xiao Rang, Jin Dajian, and the others surrendered to Cai Fu one by one...

His eyes were red!

These are all brothers who followed him to Liangshan, then to Erlongshan, and then to Gaizhou!

Song Jiang thought they would follow him forever, to the ends of the earth, until the end of time!
As a result, overnight, they all abandoned him...

Moreover, Song Jiang was helpless.

If these brothers had defected to someone else, Song Jiang could at least have cursed them out.

They sided with Cai Fu, and Song Jiang couldn't even scold them; tears welled up in his eyes.

Suddenly, Song Jiang noticed a pair of cold eyes that were fixed on him...

Who?
Song Jiang subconsciously looked over, only to find it was Hu Sanniang!
Hu Sanniang's rosy lips curved upwards into a beautiful arc.

Her beautiful eyes held a mixture of smugness, mockery, disdain, and satisfaction!
Song Jiang's eyes turned green with envy!

It's one thing if the person surnamed Cai is bad enough, but when did it become Hu Sanniang's place to shit on her head?

But upon glancing at the blood-soaked twin swords in Hu Sanniang's hand, Song Jiang lowered his head in despair.

You better remember this!

Fortune changes every thirty years, so don't underestimate someone who's poor in middle age!

As long as I have this group of brothers, I can make a name for myself anywhere!

But then again, how many brothers do I still have left?

Song Jiang looked around:

Wu Yong, Song Qing, Li Kui, Kong Ming, Kong Liang, Lei Heng, Mu Hong, Guo Sheng, Zhang Heng, Lin Chong, Qin Ming, Huang Xin, and Chai Jin.

Damn it! How come there are only a few left?

He used to have nearly a hundred good brothers under his command, but they all followed this guy surnamed Cai?

Song Jiang instinctively clutched his chest, feeling as if Cai Fu were tearing his flesh away piece by piece...

It hurts so much!
Hu Sanniang was overjoyed, as Cai Fu's promise to her was being fulfilled step by step!

The little black fat boy is losing things step by step, and one day he will taste the bitterness of losing everything!
Just like her back then...

"Brother Cai Fu, I have a favor to ask!"

Song Jiang suddenly bowed to Cai Funa:

"Could you please hand over Zhu Gui and Zhu Fu to me for disposal, brother?"

"This is your territory, I can't control that."

Cai Fu waved his hand dismissively:
"Brothers, let's go!" There's no time to lose; delay might lead to unforeseen problems.

Although he hadn't slept all night, Cai Fu was determined to race against time to lead Shan Shiqi to capture Huguan and Zhaode Prefecture.

Actually, it wasn't that they didn't sleep at all. Before Shan Shiqi arrived, Cai Fu and the others would take naps here and there, which was a way of conserving their energy.

Seeing that Cai Fu was about to leave, Zhu Gui and Zhu Fu became anxious:

"Your Majesty, don't abandon us—"

Cai Fu didn't even bother to look at them. These two brothers were decent men and businessmen; they should have died long ago.

After Cai Fu and his group left the prefect's residence, breakfast was already being sold on the streets. They ate breakfast before setting off.

Song Jiang glared fiercely at Zhu Gui and Zhu Fu, like a starving wolf ready to devour them alive!
Zhu Gui and Zhu Fu exchanged a glance. "He's got a smiling tiger," Zhu Fu said with a fawning expression.

"Brother Song Gongming, we're fucking..."

"Pfft!"

Song Jiang picked up a waist knife and pounced on Zhu Fu like a wolf, stabbing him hard in the stomach!
Go all the way through!
“Puff, puff, puff…”

With one chubby little hand around Zhu Fu's neck, Song Jiang used the other chubby little hand to frantically thrust the knife in and out of Zhu Fu's body!
Zhu Fu held Song Jiang tightly, his eyes wide open, unable to believe even in death that Song Jiang had such a crazy side...

Zhu Gui rushed to save his brother, but Li Kui, who was holding back his anger, suddenly sprang into action!
Without hands, Li Kui bit Zhu Gui's throat hard!
Zhu Gui struggled desperately, pounding on Li Kui's head!
However, it was all in vain; Li Kui refused to budge, and continued to bite Zhu Gui to death...

After venting his anger on Zhu Fu, Song Jiang pushed him away, bowed deeply to his brothers, and tears streamed down his face.

"Song Jiang is useless, he's made the brothers suffer..."

"Brother, what are you saying!"

Wu Yong, Lei Heng, Mu Hong, and the others hurriedly returned the bow.

Lin Chong and Qin Ming also knelt down. Cai Fu had already left, so they could only cling tightly to Song Jiang's leg.

Wu Yong sighed silently:
"Brother, we've been through thick and thin together for so many years, and we've weathered countless storms together!"

"These difficulties are only temporary, we will get better!"

"At least we now have a state under our control, which allows us to advance or retreat as needed, doesn't it?"

Wu Yong's words made the brothers feel much better. Indeed, at least they had a province.

Song Jiang was also comforted and wiped away his tears:
"Thank you, brothers, for still believing in Song Jiang!"

"Song Jiang hereby swears to the heavens that even if he is shattered to pieces, he will fight for his brothers to achieve immense wealth and glory!"
"If anyone disobeys, I will ensure that Song Jiang dies without a burial place!"

Song Jiang's words successfully won back a lot of goodwill, and many of his brothers were moved to tears.

Wu Yong was comforted by him; no matter what, he had made the right choice back then...

……

"Boom... Boom..."

With Shan Shiqi leading the way, Cai Fu and his men led more than two hundred riders at breakneck speed toward Huguan.

These two hundred-plus riders were all brought by Shan Shiqi. Since Shan Shiqi surrendered, they naturally followed suit.

Cai Fu and his men all changed into the armor of the Jin army, blending in so well that they were not easily recognized unless one looked closely.

The plan was simple: Sanchez would feign opening the gates and then gather his seven generals together to persuade them to surrender.

Those who are willing to surrender will be accepted, and those who are unwilling to surrender will be beheaded. Huguan can then be taken easily and pleasantly.

Since Shan Shiqi was the military commander of Zhaode Prefecture, this plan could be repeated in Zhaode Prefecture.

Taking Zhaode Prefecture without losing a single soldier is simply wonderful!
