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

Chapter 762 I will march north today to fight the Jin; who is willing to go with me? [2nd Update]

"Ah bang——"

Cai Jing, wrapped in a blanket, sneezed loudly, and snot sprayed from his nostrils and into his mouth.
"vomit--"

A young man who looked very much like him quickly used a handkerchief to wipe him clean.

This young man was named Cai Tiao. Historically, he was supposed to marry Princess Maode and become her consort.

However, Cai Fu snatched the job away, and Cai Fu, being incompetent and unsuccessful, spent his days idly.

On the contrary, he did not fare as well as Prefect Cai Jiu, who became Minister of Revenue because of his merit in supporting the emperor.

Suddenly, a clap of thunder sounded outside!
That was the cheer of millions of people in unison!

Cai Jing quickly sniffled and asked Cai Tiao, "Fifth Brother, how is it outside?"

"I'll go ask right away!"

Cai Tiao had long since grown tired of serving, so he took the opportunity to go out and visit brothels.

Just as Cai Tiao reached the door, Minister Cai Jiu rushed in:

"Father, something terrible has happened! Something terrible has happened!"

"Ah bang——"

Cai Jing was so angry that he sneezed again, and a snot bubble popped out of his nostril:
"Nonsense! I'm perfectly fine!"

"Oh my, Daddy is doing very well!"

Minister Cai Jiu said dejectedly, "It's bad news for Your Majesty! Your Majesty is finished!"

"what?"

Cai Jing seemed to "startle awake from his deathbed," and suddenly sat up:

"Is His Majesty finished?"

Minister Cai Jiu nodded vigorously: "It's over!"
"Liu Yanqing and Liu Guangshi's ambush troops have disappeared!"

“Zhong Shidao killed His Majesty and publicly swore allegiance to the Prince of Qi!”

"Following all the ministers of the realm, they all swore allegiance to King Qi!"
"Father, you didn't see that scene. Everyone was kneeling, except for Prince Qi, who was standing and riding on his horse!"

"I have a lot of grudges with the Prince of Qi, so I hurriedly fled back to the manor..."

Why did you come back?

Cai Jing was so angry that his whole body trembled: "Everyone else is kneeling, why aren't you kneeling?"

"Are you trying to drive this old man crazy?!"

Overwhelmed with anger and frustration, Cai Jing coughed up a mouthful of blood, his eyes rolled back, and he collapsed onto the bed!

"Daddy!"

Cai Tiao and Minister Cai Jiu hurriedly rushed forward and shook Cai Jing:

If Cai Jing dies, they are nothing!
……

"Ugh--"

Li Zhu, the Grand General of Huaixi, and Sun Li, the Pacification Commissioner of Jiangnan, exchanged a glance and simultaneously sighed to the heavens:
Where did the ambush troops go?

Because the troops were too far away to be transferred from Tanzhou and Qingzhou, they were in Huaixi and Jiangnan respectively, so they had the advantage of being close to the water tower.

Upon receiving Cai Fu's secret order, Li Zhu and Sun Li were overjoyed and led their troops to the scene.

As a result, they had no opportunity to use their talents; there are already tens of thousands of people who have sworn allegiance to Cai Fu...

Wasn't this all for nothing?

Lu Junyi, Lu Zhishen, Guan Sheng, and Wu Song were very happy, or rather, they felt honored.

Cai Fu is their elder brother. They are even more excited than if they were worshipped by the masses when Cai Fu is worshipped by the masses!
Moreover, judging from the current chaotic scene, it will be difficult to end this situation if Cai Fu does not ascend the throne as emperor!

Just as Lu Junyi, Lu Zhishen, Guan Sheng, and Wu Song were hesitating about whether to give Cai Fu another coat...

"Report——"

A strange fellow, riding on wheels of fire, rushed towards the city gate at lightning speed:
"Urgent dispatch from 3,000 li away—"

Good heavens, three thousand miles?
Cai Fu made a gesture to make way, and the soldiers and civilians who were kneeling on the ground quickly made way for that guy.

That strange fellow was none other than "Divine Steed" Ma Ling, who charged straight to Cai Fu's horse:

"Your Majesty, there is urgent military news from the north!" Cai Fu frowned: "Report it!"

Seeing that Cai Fu didn't care about being overheard, Ma Ling decided not to waste any more time:
"Report to the King!"

"Liu Yu, the military governor of Hebei, surrendered to the Jin Dynasty and was enfeoffed as the King of Wei by the Jin Dynasty!"

"Wang Fu, the Privy Councilor of the Northern Song Dynasty, surrendered to the Jin Dynasty and was enfeoffed as the Prince of Jin by the Jin Dynasty!"

The Jin army divided into six routes—

"The first route: Liu Yu, the self-proclaimed King of Wei, has dispatched 100,000 troops to attack Weisheng Prefecture!"
"The second force, led by the self-proclaimed King of Jin, Wang Fu, has dispatched 100,000 troops to attack Shanzhou!"
"The third force, led by the self-proclaimed King Zhao, Zhang Bangchang, has dispatched 100,000 troops to attack Tokyo!"

"The fourth route: Song Jiang, the Grand Marshal of the Jin Dynasty's Hebei Army, has dispatched 100,000 troops to attack Qizhou!"
"The fifth force, led by the pseudo-Liao King Dongxian Wenhua, has dispatched 100,000 troops to attack Mozhou!"
"The sixth route, led by Wanyan Wuzhu, the Prince of Pingxi of the Jin Dynasty, has dispatched 500,000 troops to attack Jizhou!"

"A total of one million troops, coming with overwhelming force..."

"hiss--"

Everyone couldn't help but gasp:
A million-strong army, how the hell are we supposed to fight them?
"Wang Fu, that beast!"

Zhong Shidao couldn't help but curse, "I shouldn't have handed Yan'an Prefecture over to him!"

"That black bastard Song Jiang!"

Lu Zhishen also cursed loudly: "If he runs into me, I'll teach him three hundred blows with my staff!"

Although they were cursing and swearing, everyone's eyes were focused on Cai Fu.

"Where did he get a million troops?"

Cai Fu sneered: "No matter how many men Liu Yu, Wang Fu, Zhang Bangchang, and Song Jiang have under their command, they are just a rabble!"

"I just defeated Jin Wuzhu's 500,000-strong army before the New Year, and now another 500,000-strong army is coming."
"Are the young and strong men of the Jin Kingdom like leeks, harvested once and then harvested again every six months?"

"The so-called six armies are nothing but a bluff!"

In my opinion, the total is at most 500,000!

"I will march north today to fight the Jin, who is willing to go with me?"

That's the spirit!

Without hesitation, Zhong Shidao was the first to raise his arm and shout, "This humble general, Zhong Shidao, is willing to go with Your Majesty!"

Lu Deng, the military governor of Lu'an Prefecture, couldn't help but raise his arms and shout, "This humble general, Lu Deng, is willing to go with Your Majesty!"

"This humble general, Wang Yuan, is willing to accompany Your Majesty!"

"This humble general, Xu Jing, is willing to accompany Your Majesty!"

"This humble general is Han Cunbao..."

Many of the generals who had just defected to Cai Fu were now rushing to follow him, if they had any guts.

The civil officials were all ambivalent; they had no problem getting them to surrender to Cai Fu, but they certainly wouldn't dare to fight the Jin soldiers to the death...

On the contrary, many heroes among the common people also said they wanted to go with Cai Fu, and the first to take the lead was Xiao Jiasui:
"This humble servant, Xiao Jiasui, is willing to accompany Your Majesty!"

After Xiao Jiahui shouted it out, she felt as if Cai Fuzhuan had given her a special look, though she didn't know if it was just her imagination.

Cai Fu nodded and smiled at him, and Xiao Jiasui felt that he was smiling at her, so she became even more excited.

If Cai Fu had smiled at him when he was still the second leader of Liangshan, Xiao Jiasui would have stayed as far away from him as possible.

But now Cai Fu is a rising star, and Xiao Jiasui is eager to do anything for him!

"it is good!"

Cai Fu took the Wind-Splashing Broadsword from the wing ring of the Victory Hook Bird and pointed it forward:
"Come with me if you dare!"

"Quack! Quack!"

Cai Fu squeezed his legs together, and the Jade Lion, though not in sync with him, obediently ran forward.

The city gate is just ahead.

Lu Junyi, Lu Zhishen, Guan Sheng, and Wu Song followed closely behind.

Then came the "Four Little Tigers," Lin Chong, Du Xue, Bian Xiang, Sun An, Shi Bao, Pang Wanchun, Li Zhu, Sun Li, and other generals of the State of Qi.

Following them were newly surrendered generals such as Zhong Shidao, Xu Jing, Yang Wen, Han Cunbao, Zhang Suo, and Lu Deng...

Tens of thousands of imperial guards from various regions followed Cai Fu, marching out of Jiangzhou in a grand procession...
