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

Chapter 654 Gao Chong: This is the lesson my father taught me! [3rd update, please vote!]

"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding..."

Gao Chong and Bian Xiang fought for another hundred rounds without a clear winner.

Cai Fu had a pretty good idea of ​​Gao Chong's current level.

Bian Xiang was probably a "strong tiger" of the same level as Guan Sheng.

Above them are the "Super Tigers" like Du Xue, Sun An, and Shi Wengong.

Above that is Lu Junyi, the "supreme".

Lu Junyi went to Fenyang, but Cai Fu still has Du Xue under his command, who is enough to suppress Bian Xiang.

If Gao Chong couldn't be brought down, Cai Fu didn't want to send Du Xue up to fight two against one.

That would be like giving Bian Xiang a boost in status.

Moreover, Bian Xiang and Gao Chong are evenly matched, so it would be good for him to be Gao Chong's whetstone.

This would also prevent Gao Chong from always ending battles with a single shot and underestimating the heroes of the world.

It was getting dark, and since we hadn't planned for a night battle and hadn't prepared torches, we gradually couldn't see people clearly.

That wasn't a big deal, but as Gao Chong and Bian Xiang were fighting, Bian Xiang suddenly stumbled!

"Xilulu——"

Bian Xiang's mount accidentally lurched forward, and Bian Xiang, who was focused on fighting, was thrown off his horse!

It's over!

At that moment, Bian Xiang felt a chill run through him, as Gao Chong's tiger-headed gold-inlaid spear was already pressed against his throat!

In a battle between masters, the difference lies in the smallest of margins.

In fact, Bian Xiang could have adjusted his stance and started fighting in the next second, but Gao Chong seized that second perfectly.

Bian Xiang knelt on one knee, one hand supporting him on the ground, the other holding a gun, frozen in place as if under a spell...

"I lost."

Bian Xiang gave a bitter smile. Although he was unwilling, he was an upright and incorruptible man.

If you lose, you have to admit it; if you get hit, you have to stand up straight.

Even if Gao Chong stabbed him to death, it would still be his choice; he had lived up to Tian Hu's kindness in recognizing his talent.

Having received the king's bounty, he devoted himself to the state of Jin.

However, to his surprise, Gao Chong put away his gun:

"Your horse was defeated by mine!"

"You haven't lost yet, quickly change your horse and fight again!"

"Ah this..."

Bian Xiang looked up in disbelief at Gao Chong's still-childish yet righteous little face:

"Who taught you this?"

"My father once said that he only needed to do three things when he went to Liangshan—"

"Fair! Fair! It's damn fair!"

"The fairness that the law cannot provide, I will provide!"

"I will kill the corrupt officials that the common people cannot kill!"

"Uphold justice and act on behalf of Heaven!"

"This is Cai Fu!"

Gao Chong told him with a straight face:

"Fairness is the principle my father taught me!"

"Go change your horse quickly, and then fight me for another three hundred rounds!"

Bian Xiang was shocked.

He could tell that Gao Chong was very young, barely a few hairs on his mouth, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he was still wet behind the ears.

Moreover, Gao Chong spoke these words without thinking, and it is clear that he did not make them up on the spot.

This can only mean that this is how Cai Fu usually educates his son, and obviously, he wouldn't just spout nonsense when educating his son.

In other words, Cai Fu was that kind of person.

And this does indeed align with the legendary image of Cai Fu...

Look at Cai Fu's son, and then look at Tian Hu's son, "like pigs and dogs!"
It's fair...

Bian Xiang sighed deeply, dropped the great axe in his hand, and bowed deeply in the direction of Cai Fu.

"Your humble servant Bian Xiang is willing to serve Your Majesty as your master!"

"Good!" Cai Fu happily dismounted and stepped forward to help Bian Xiang up with both hands.
I am not pleased to have gained Wei Sheng, but I am pleased to have gained Bian Xiang!
Seeing that Bian Xiang had also surrendered to Cai Fu, Grand Commandant Fang Xuedu on the city gate tower hurriedly ordered his men to lower the drawbridge again.

Led by Fang Xuedu, Privy Councilor Fan Quan, and civil and military officials including Minister Li Tianxi and Zheng Zhirui, they came out to kneel in welcome.

Although they captured Weisheng Prefecture without bloodshed, Cai Fu was still a little confused:
Is Tian Ding dead?

Are we just going to stand by and watch the civil and military officials open the city gates and surrender?

Upon entering and asking Cai Fucai, he learned that Tian Bao had murdered Tian Ding, and Tian Bao himself had been executed by slow slicing.

I guess I got a good deal.

"Big brother..."

While Fang Xuedu and his men were packing up the drawbridge in preparation for surrender, they had already sent men to the prison to retrieve Guan Sheng.

When Cai Fu entered the city, Guan Sheng was being greeted at the city gate, disheveled and ragged...

His face flushed crimson, turning purple with embarrassment, Guan Sheng knelt before Cai Fu, overwhelmed with shame.
"I am useless..."

"Bullshit!"

Cai Fujia pulled Guan Sheng up.

After checking Guan Sheng thoroughly from head to toe and left to right, finding no serious injuries, he finally felt relieved and punched Guan Sheng in the chest.

"As long as everyone is alright!"

Then, disregarding Guan Sheng's filthy appearance, Cai Fu pulled him into a tight embrace:
"I'll take you to hunt for golden dogs later, big brother!"

"Big brother..."

Guan Sheng's eyes welled up with tears.

Although he knew his older brother would most likely not blame him, he still couldn't help but shed tears for having such an older brother.

"Alright, your second and third brothers have gone to support Fenyang Prefecture."

Cai Fu patted Guan Sheng on the shoulder:

"You take care of Weisheng Prefecture. I need to rush to Fenyang Prefecture tonight."

The reason Cai Fu was in such a hurry was that Bian Xiang, Fang Xuedu, and the entire Jin court had surrendered.

Tian Ding and Tian Bao are also dead.

He could have easily sent Bian Xiang and Fang Xuedu to persuade Qiao Daoqing and Sun An to surrender, thus avoiding unnecessary casualties.

Now, whether it's the Qi army or the Jin army, all the casualties are his loss alone.

Guan Sheng accepted the order, and Cai Fu, along with Bian Xiang and Fang Xuedu, rushed to Fenyang Prefecture overnight to persuade them to surrender.

……

Fenyang Prefecture.

The temporary commander-in-chief of Fenyang Prefecture was Tang Bin, a "mountain-pushing strongman" appointed by Guan Sheng.

Originally, Tang Bin, Sun Ruhu, and Li Qinlong were responsible for guarding Fenyang Prefecture. After Guan Sheng was captured alive while attacking Weisheng Prefecture, Zhu Tong, Yang Xiong, and Fan Rui also fled to Fenyang Prefecture. So now it is the six of them guarding Fenyang Prefecture together.

However, even though the six of them were killed by Qiao Daoqing and Sun An, they dared not leave the city to fight and could only defend the city.

At first, Tang Bin was unconvinced and went out of the city to fight Sun An, but he was defeated after more than ten rounds.

After that, Tang Bin never dared to fight again, but fortunately Qiao Daoqing never made a move.

Although Qiao Daoqing was also a follower of unorthodox methods, he had more principles than Bao Daoyi and was never willing to use sorcery to harm people.

So the two sides got into a tug-of-war, pulling and sawing, and then Lu Junyi arrived.

Sun An, having won so much, became arrogant and challenged others to a duel.

Zhang Kui fought Sun An for fifty or sixty rounds without a clear winner, but Lu Junyi had already realized that Zhang Kui was no match for Sun An.

Lu Junyi then recalled Zhang Kui and personally took to the battlefield. The two fought for over a hundred rounds without a clear victor.

"What a magnificent jade unicorn!"

This was the first time Sun An had encountered such a powerful opponent, so he ordered his soldiers to light torches and fight through the night!

Lu Junyi didn't use any tricks this time either, and the two fought fiercely for three hundred rounds before a winner was finally decided.

"when--"

Lu Junyi shook his spear, knocking away Sun An's precious sword!
With only a single sword left, Sun An could no longer withstand Lu Junyi and had no choice but to turn his horse and flee!

At that moment, Qiao Daoqing finally made his move.

"Bala, bala, bala..."

Qiao Daoqing made a hand seal and chanted an incantation, then shouted, "Hurry!"

Suddenly, a cloud of yellow sand rose from within the Jin army's ranks, passing over Sun An and rushing towards Lu Junyi!
