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

Chapter 763 Zhao Fujin is satisfied, Song Jiang visits Zhuge Liang three times [3rd update, please vote]

"Official..."

As Zhao Fujin stepped out of the carriage, he saw Cai Fuji leading the way, surrounded by a large group of people, heading out of the city.

"drive!"

Hu Sanniang has already exchanged her steed "Black Pearl" and is chasing after Cai Fu ahead of her!
"Third Sister, you're cheating—"

Qiu Qiongying, who was lagging behind, had no choice but to give up, since Cai Fu had instructed them to protect Zhao Fujin.

Since Hu Sanniang ran away, she naturally had to stay behind to protect Zhao Fujin.

At this moment, Zhao Fujin was incredibly envious of Hu Sanniang. If she had martial arts skills, she would definitely have gone after Cai Fu...

Unfortunately, she was too weak to even kill a chicken, and could only stand there helplessly, gazing at Cai Fu's retreating figure.

She didn't blame Cai Fu for leaving without saying goodbye. When the country is in crisis, the nation's well-being is of course the most important thing!
But if only Cai Fu could turn around and look at her once.

Even just a glance would bring her peace of mind...

Whether it was a telepathic connection or not, Cai Fu, who was the first to rush towards the city gate, suddenly turned around and looked back.

That glance met Zhao Fujin's eyes.

Cai Fu nodded apologetically, then resolutely turned around and rushed out of Jiangzhou City.

Even though it was just a glance, Zhao Fujin was already extremely satisfied...

"Baozi! Old Sun!"

Cai Fu turned around and instructed Shi Bao and Sun Li, both of whom were intelligent and capable generals:

"You all stay here and protect Princess Maode for me, and help her handle the aftermath. There must be no mistakes!"

Shi Bao and Sun Li certainly wanted to go north with Cai Fu to fight against the Jin, but they knew the weight of this mission.

If, after Cai Fu became emperor, the empress were to be divided into an Eastern Palace and a Western Palace, Fang Jinzhi would be in the Eastern Palace and Zhao Fujin would be in the Western Palace.

That's only one aspect. On the other hand, if Cai Fu wants to become emperor, Zhao Fujin's matter must be handled properly.

Therefore, Shi Bao and Sun Li had no choice but to accept the mission, with Sun Li leading his troops to stay behind and suppress the situation.

Cai Fu led this mixed army northward; I haven't counted them, but they numbered around 20,000.

In fact, Cai Fu was not too worried about Jin Wuzhu's six armies.

The first route, led by Liu Yu, attacked Weisheng Prefecture. The general of Weisheng Prefecture was Zhu Tong, with Zhu Jing as his deputy and Fan Rui as his assistant; all of them were trustworthy.

Zhang Bangchang led the third route to attack Tokyo. After Cai Fu occupied Tokyo, due to its importance, he specially appointed Xu Ning, a local, as the general, with Yan Bixian and Yan Bida as his deputies, as well as Fang Qiong, An Shirong, Chu Heng, and Yu Yulin as his generals.

It can be described as having a strong army and an impregnable fortress.

The fourth route, led by Song Jiang, attacked Qizhou. The general of Qizhou was Gao Yu, and his deputies were Zhang Jinren and Gao Keli.

Although its strength was somewhat lacking, this was Cai Fu's base in Shandong, and the surrounding prefectures could provide support to Qizhou at any time.

The Fifth Route of the Dongxian Attendant attacked Mozhou, whose prefect was Zhang Shuye and whose general was Xuan Zan. This was a tough nut to crack!
The sixth route, led by Jin Wuzhu, attacked Jizhou. The prefect of Jizhou was Zong Ze, the general was Wang Jin, and the deputy generals, besides Ma Ling, included Zhuge Ying, Gongsun Lang, Liu Guoshen, and Chen Junyou.

Although Jin Wuzhu had a large army and many generals, Jizhou was too close to Tanzhou, the secondary capital of Qi.

With generals like Shi Wengong and Yue Fei around, ready to support Mozhou at any time, it wouldn't be easy for Jin Wuzhu to take it down.

The only place that couldn't be helped was Shanzhou, which originally belonged to the Northern Song Dynasty, specifically to the territory of Emperor Qinzong.

Cai Fu could only ask Ma Ling to carry Master Zhong across. With Master Zhong around, Wang Fu was no threat.

In addition, Cai Fu ordered Wang Huan, the military governor of Henan and Hebei, and Zhang Kai, the military governor of Zhongshan and Anping, to rush back to their posts and mobilize troops to support Weisheng Prefecture.

Wang Yuan, the military governor of Ningzhou, and Xu Jing, the military governor of Shangdang and Taiyuan, rushed back to their posts and mobilized troops to support Shanzhou.
Wang Wende, the military governor of Hongnong in northern Beijing, and Mei Zhan, the military governor of Runan in Yingzhou, rushed back to their posts and mobilized troops to support Tokyo.
Han Cunbao, the military governor of Yunzhong Yanmen, and Lu Deng, the military governor of Lu'an Prefecture, rushed back to their posts and mobilized troops to support Mozhou.

Each of these four routes can mobilize no fewer than 30,000 troops, which is enough to solve the immediate crisis.

Cai Fu set up the first battlefield in Qizhou. If Song Jiang dared to attack Qizhou, Cai Fu was determined to make sure he never returned!
Destroying Song Jiang was just an appetizer; Cai Fu needed to deal with Song Jiang quickly, then lead his troops north to Jizhou!
Defeat Jin Wuzhu and march straight to Huanglongfu!
Cai Fu dispatched his three sons, Yang Zaixing, Yu Hualong, and Gao Chong, with his own tokens, to Shandong to mobilize troops. He himself led the main army to follow.

The reason why the commanders of other prefectures were not sent back was twofold: firstly, it was unnecessary, as distant water cannot quench immediate thirst; and secondly, it was to cultivate cohesion.

In reality, many people swore allegiance to Cai Fu at that time simply because of the atmosphere.

Cai Fu asked them to follow him north so that he could win them over as his own through repeated battles together.

This process must be experienced together; otherwise, how could Cai Fu entrust the prefecture to them with peace of mind?

……

Shuanglin Town, Dapi Mountain.

Nestled in the mountain valley is a thatched cottage, surrounded by a bamboo fence, with a half-closed wooden gate, surrounded by tall bamboos, ancient pines, red maples, and green cypresses, all densely packed together.

Song Jiang, along with Yang Fan, Lei Heng, and Li Kui, arrived at the entrance of the thatched hut.

Setting aside the airs of a high-ranking official, Song Jiang dismounted and knocked on the door:
"Dang Dang Dang!"

A village boy with blond hair, wearing a cloth-lined jacket, gathered some dried pine branches and firewood from the ground and piled them under the eaves of a thatched house.

Upon hearing a knock at the door, the yellow-haired village boy came to ask who it was.

Song Jiang said politely, "I am Song Gongming, the Grand Marshal of the Hebei Army of the Great Jin Kingdom, also known as 'Timely Rain,' and I have come to pay my respects to Mr. Xu!"

The boy said, "I don't remember many names."

Song Jiang had no choice but to say, "Just say that Song Jiang has come to visit."

Boy: "The master went out this morning."

"went out again?"

Li Kui stared wide-eyed at the bull: "He went out last time, and he's gone out again this time?"

The boy glanced at Song Jiang: "The one who came last time wasn't this one..."

"Stop talking nonsense! You bird-child, you're definitely lying!"

Ever since Li Kui mastered the "Mighty Vajra Leg," his temper has flared up again:
"If Xu Guanzhong doesn't come out soon, I'll burn his house down!"

"tractor!"

Song Jiang frowned and glared at Li Kui, then said to the boy:
"Please inform the sir!"
"Song Jiang has come to pay his respects to Mr. Xu with utmost sincerity!"

The boy tried to refuse, but Li Kui glared at him, scaring the boy so much that he fell to the ground and started crying.

"Ow—"

This boy may not have been very big, but his voice was very loud. Finally, a teacher came out from inside.

When Song Jiang saw this man, he noticed that he had bright eyes, eyebrows that were shaped like the character "八" (eight), a height of about seven feet, and a three-pronged mustache covering his mouth.

His clothes and appearance resembled those of a Taoist practitioner; his features were peculiar, yet his demeanor was handsome and extraordinary, unlike that of an ordinary person.

This must be Mr. Xu Guanzhong!

Song Jiang quickly stepped forward to pay his respects and asked the gentleman, who was indeed Xu Guanzhong.

Xu Guanzhong did not return the greeting, but coldly asked Song Jiang:

"What business does Marshal Song have with me?"

"Straight bitch!"

Li Kui flew into a rage: "My brother is the Grand Marshal of the Hebei Army, how dare you be so arrogant?"
