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

"It's not that easy."

"Could it be that these guys knew we were blocking the way here?"

Chen Xizhen said,

"So they hid in the nearby villages and towns,"

"Thinking about what will happen after we leave,"

"They're going up the mountain again?"

"If that's the case, then it's going to be troublesome,"

Liu Guang said with a headache,

"The villages and towns near Erlong Mountain,"

"There are at least a dozen places,"

"If they are really hiding in one of these towns,"

"In a short time,"

"I'm afraid we won't be able to find them at all."

"The weather has been getting colder these past few days,"

Zhen Xianglin then spoke up as well.

"It snowed yesterday,"

"This makes the road even more difficult to travel."

Even while riding a horse,

"It's not easy to get on the road."

"Even the henchmen in our village are getting restless soon,"

Liu Lin said,

"When we came down the mountain,"

"I never thought I'd stay outside for long."

"Even though the henchmen were wearing thick clothes,"

"But we didn't bring any tents or felt blankets,"

"There's also the problem of food,"

"The rations I brought down the mountain,"

"We'll be finished eating soon."

"At that time,"

"That's another big problem!"

"But things have come to this point, can't we just give up like this!"

Liu Guang slammed his hand on the table in frustration.

"If we withdraw this time,"

"Once Song Jiang takes the 100,000 strings of cash up the mountain,"

"And then use this opportunity to recruit soldiers and buy horses,"

"Wouldn't that make things even harder to deal with?"

"Could this stalemate continue?"

Chen Xizhen shook his head and said,

"That's not a solution either!"

Everyone in the tent fell silent.

Just when Liu Guang and his men were in a dilemma...

Suddenly, a henchman came to report.

It is said that a messenger came from Erlong Mountain.

There is a letter to deliver to Liu Guang.

"Hmph, what else does this scoundrel want to say?"

Although Liu Guang was not happy,

However, in times of war, envoys are not to be killed.

Even if they are bandits,

It's not good to break this convention.

Not to mention former military officers like Liu Guang.

He received the letter sent by Song Jiang from his subordinates.

Liu Guanggang glanced at it twice.

He then frowned deeply.

"Father, what did Song Jiang say in his letter?"

Liu Qi hurriedly asked.

"This fellow invited me to talk at the checkpoint halfway up the mountain,"

Liu Guang asked in confusion,

"What did you say? You want to discuss the matter of being granted amnesty with me?"

"Hmph, these birds are really dreaming,"

"We just want to be granted amnesty,"

"What does it have to do with them!"

"Don't go!"

Saying,

Liu Guang picked up the letter from Song Jiang.

They would then throw it into the fire pit and burn it.

Seeing this, Chen Xizhen, who was standing nearby,

They quickly stopped him.

"Anyway,"

"Now that they've already sent a letter,"

"Then let's go and meet them."

"Let's also hear what Song Jiang has to say."

"It's better than being stuck here,"

"Can't do anything right, but you're so stubborn, aren't you?"

"...Fine then,"

Liu Guang sighed.

"If I see you, I will..."

Chapter 1407 The Scarecrow

The Erlong Mountain has a treacherous terrain.

Want to go up the mountain

There is only one path leading down the mountainside.

other places,

They are all steep cliffs.

Difficult to move.

There was originally no stronghold on Erlong Mountain.

Instead, there is a temple.

It is called Baozhu Temple.

Deng Long was originally the abbot of Baozhu Temple, and his nickname was "Golden-Eyed Tiger".

Because they did not abide by the rules and regulations.

He directly led the monks to grow their hair back and return to secular life.

They gathered together the local thugs and bandits.

Right here on this mountain,

They gathered four or five hundred people to rob and plunder.

It was a perfectly good Baozhu Temple.

It was transformed into Erlongshan Village.

To prevent being arrested by the authorities,

Deng Long then took advantage of the high vantage point.

They built a stockade on Erlong Mountain for self-defense.

That only road leading up the mountain,

Deng Long set up three trials.

The gate was filled with wooden stakes and cannons.

The surrounding area was entirely covered with deer fortifications.

Speaking of strategic locations,

This Erlong Mountain stronghold is far more powerful than Qingfeng Mountain and Taohua Mountain.

Later, the reason why Chao Gai and his men were able to occupy the Erlong Mountain stronghold was because...

Deng Long also pretended to surrender first.

And they presented the birthday gifts.

That's how they made it up the mountain without any effort.

After entering the village,

Kill Deng Long and take over this mountain stronghold.

Later, Qin Ming, the Thunderbolt,

The reason they were able to capture Erlong Mountain in one fell swoop was...

It was also because it was unexpected.

They had already been captured by Chao Gai and his men.

Who knew that afterwards,

Because Chao Gai and his men failed to guard the area properly,

However, this gave Qin Ming and his men an opportunity to break free and launch a counterattack.

They captured Erlong Mountain in one fell swoop.

Not only did they drive Chao Gai and his men down the mountain,
