Water Margin: The opening scene involves assassinating Emperor Huizong of Song and forcibly taking L

"But at most, it's only a little over 100,000 people."

"But what about the entire Song Dynasty?"

"But it has a population of tens of millions."

"Relying solely on the small territory of Liangshan,"

"How could it possibly succeed?"

"...Is that so?"

Yang Xiong was stunned.

Although he was quite skilled in martial arts...

However, he is somewhat timid in character.

otherwise,

They wouldn't have been on the street before.

I was robbed by that thug.

Bing Guansuo was originally unaware of the situation in Shandong.

Now that I've heard Wu Yong say this...

So the matter of Liangshan was not mentioned again.

"If that's the case, then I'll..."

Yang Xiong cupped his hands in thanks and said,

"Thank you for taking me in, sir."

We've agreed to go up Erlong Mountain together.

Ou Peng, who was standing nearby, then asked,

"Strategist, what should we do with these two accomplices?"

The maid Ying'er, and that night watchman monk...

Both of them were accomplices in Pan Qiaoyun and Pei Ruhai's affair.

Without their help,

These two wouldn't have been able to have an affair so easily.

Yang Xiong remained silent with a cold face.

Seeing this, Wu Yong

He simply waved his hand.

"Just kill this kind of person."

"Yes!"

Ou Peng didn't delay either.

He swiftly raised his hand and brought the knife down.

Then he took the maid Ying'er and the night watchman monk...

All of them were ended with a single blow.

Once Yang Xiong's matter is completely resolved,

Wu Yong then told him their plan for heading north.

"Is the horse you seek to acquire from these Huai-Xi people, sir?"

Yang Xiong stood on the hilltop,

Looking down into the valley,

The crowded herd of horses,

"Speaking of which, this group of people from Huaixi,"

“I’ve heard about it before in Jizhou City,”

"They also inquired in town about where they could buy good horses,"

"Later, I somehow got the news,"

"Then they left and headed north."

"The Liao Kingdom's northern territories are now in dire straits."

"All the best horses from every region have been requisitioned as warhorses,"

"It's quite remarkable that they could do this at this time,"

"They were able to get so many horses."

"I've heard that corruption is rampant throughout the Liao Kingdom,"

Wu Yong laughed,

"As long as you give that official enough silver,"

"There's nothing you can't buy."

"But sir,"

Yang Xiong said worriedly,

"There are only a few of us,"

"There were at least twenty or thirty people from Huaixi,"

"And so many horses,"

"I'm afraid it won't be easy to make a move."

"Don't worry about the section level,"

Wu Yong said with a smile,

"We are on the Song-Liao border,"

"Sufficient manpower has been deployed in ambush,"

"As long as we can find out their route south,"

"Things will be easier after that."

...

Although the Song-Liao border was long,

But in most areas,

Both were guarded by soldiers from both countries.

Although due to the conflict between the Song and Liao dynasties,

There has been no major war for over a century.

The soldiers were already in a state of disarray, and the passes were dilapidated.

In the past,

Some petty smuggling,

That has reached the point of being blatant.

But this herd of four or five hundred horses

After all, it's not a small amount.

Once discovered by the defending troops on both sides,

Nine times out of ten,

He would be charged with smuggling.

Capture them.

Then they took possession of these horses.

Therefore, Huai Xi Wang Qing and others

It's obvious that you can't take the main road.

That leaves only two paths to take.

One that is close to Cangzhou, Hebei

One side needs to turn towards Shanxi.

Wu Yong and his men followed Wang Qing and his group all the way.

It was soon discovered that,

They are leaving.

It's a small road in Cangzhou, Hebei.

He immediately ordered Ou Peng to ride back to the Song-Liao border.

Go and inform the Mu brothers who are waiting there.

......

Previously in Jizhou City,

Wu Yong and his men found out that

The leader of the Huaixi people was called Chief Wang.

They thought it was Wang Qing from Huaixi.

He personally traveled north to buy horses.

In fact, the strategist's guess was not wrong.

Since that day in Xuzhou,

They were defeated by Liangshan.

Not only did they suffer heavy losses,

In the end, they were even forced to pay Liangshan tens of thousands of strings of gold and silver jewelry...

Chapter 1353 Stealing the Horse

For Wang Qing, who was used to running rampant in Huaixi,

How could they possibly swallow this insult?

After leading the troops back to the camp,

He then focused his mind on strengthening the army and the strongholds.

So that I can get revenge in the future.

Speaking of building a strong military...

Wang Qing learned from this experience of facing the Liangshan army.

Decided to buy more horses

He also assembled a fast-moving cavalry force for himself.

Even if they can't build a large cavalry force like Liangshan,

At the very least, there should be a cavalry unit for both raiding and relaying messages.

Previously, when Huaixi and Liangshan reconciled,

Liangshan has already agreed.

Horses from Huaixi can be allowed to pass through Shandong at will.
