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

"Exactly, how can someone who's suspicious and paranoid lead troops?"

"It kept me up all night last night,"

"They won't even let us eat today."

"We've barely reached Liangshan, and I'm afraid we'll die of exhaustion on the way."

"I heard that after the eunuch cut off that part,"

"He's just as suspicious as a woman,"

Do you think it's possible that...?

Xuan Zan looked at the soldier who had just tried so hard to reach into his stomach and scoop out the food.

They all started cursing Guan Sheng.

Enraged, he shouted,

Anyone who dares to criticize the commander-in-chief again will be punished according to military regulations.

Guan Sheng hadn't expected the soldiers to change so quickly.

However, considering that the army would enter Jeju territory...

He hasn't rested at all.

No wonder they had complaints.

"Alright, let's go."

Xuanzan also wanted to punish some soldiers.

Seeing that Guan Sheng had already gone ahead,

He could only glare fiercely at the few soldiers who were making the most noise.

Follow them.

The three walked to the shade of the tree.

Just as we were about to eat,

But then a scout on horseback came galloping towards them.

"Report! Another attack by Liangshan bandits!"

Xuanzan listened,

He quickly stood up and said,

"I'll go and order the entire army to assemble."

Guan Sheng thought for a moment,

"No need, you and I will take a thousand men on guard and go to meet them."

"There probably won't be many thieves coming,"

"Let the other soldiers continue eating."

Xuan Zan thought about it and realized that the previous two waves of Liangshan bandits only numbered a thousand.

He then mounted his horse with Guan Sheng.

He led a thousand soldiers forward to meet them.

The two armies were still several miles apart.

Then the Liangshan troops turned back.

Xuanzan watched as the dust and smoke gradually disappeared on the horizon.

"It seems the thieves don't come in large numbers each time after all."

"They slipped away when they saw we were on guard."

Guan Sheng nodded and said,

"The thieves are using a tactic to wear down their troops,"

"I'm afraid that bandits will constantly harass us along the way,"

"It keeps us running around like crazy."

"They only come in groups of about a thousand at a time,"

"Our army, however, is on high alert,"

"Supporting each other, but constantly running around,"

"I'm afraid the soldiers will be too exhausted to fight once they reach Liangshan."

Xuan Zan frowned upon hearing this and said,

"This governor of Jeju is utterly incompetent,"

"Let the Liangshan bandits come and go in Jizhou as if it were their own territory."

"Although I knew the Liangshan bandits were coming to harass us,"

"How can we defend against them?"

"The Liangshan bandits are so powerful,"

"It would be good enough if the governor of Jeju could just keep the city afloat,"

"How dare you provoke the Liangshan bandits?"

Guan Sheng thought about how the Liangshan bandit leaders he had encountered today were all incredibly powerful.

They dared not let Xuan Zan and Hao Siwen lead troops again.

After thinking for a moment, he said,

"They will still be divided into two armies in the afternoon,"

"I will lead three thousand soldiers to clear the way,"

"You and General Hao will lead a large army to escort the grain supplies."

"If the vanguard encounters bandits and I don't send someone to request reinforcements,"

"You don't need to come to the rescue."

"You just need to continue marching normally."

"Also be wary of bandits launching a surprise attack on the rear."

Xuan Zan also felt that if Guan Sheng personally led the vanguard,

Then there would be no need to fear attacks from the Liangshan bandits.

After scaring away that wave of Liangshan soldiers,

Only then were Guan Sheng and the others able to have lunch in peace.

Afterwards, the troops rested for half an hour.

Then they set off for Liangshan.

Sure enough, the afternoon march was still not peaceful.

First came Xu Ning, the Golden Spear General, and Luan Tingyu, the Iron Cudgel General, on one side.

Guan Sheng finally managed to drive the two men away.

They hadn't walked more than a few miles when

Yang Zhi, the Blue-Faced Beast, and Pang Wanchun led their men to attack again.

Guan Sheng had just driven off the two men.

Lu Zhishen, the Flower Monk, and Qin Ming, the Thunderbolt, led their troops to attack again.

Guan Sheng fought four people in a row.

I'm already feeling a bit weak.

Both of them were dressed as monks.

I thought the two would be more combative.

However, they were almost stopped by the two of them working together.

The situation looks bad.

They forced the two men aside and rode away.

Fortunately, both of them were foot soldiers.

I didn't catch up with him either.

However, the two drove them into the formation.

A thorough killing spree.

Until the central army arrived to provide relief.

The two then led their troops away.

This incident resulted in the loss of over a thousand more lives.

Look, the sun has already set.

Guan Sheng dared not march any further.

They were deeply afraid of falling into another ambush by the Liangshan bandits.

Xuan Zan watched as Guan Sheng fought several battles in succession.

Exhausted

He then rushed to direct the soldiers to set up camp.

Guan Sheng rested outside the camp for a while.

I've calmed down a bit.

Xuanzan's camp setup was quite methodical.

He then rode straight into the central command tent.

After the money was deposited,

Guan Sheng dared not remove his armor.

Fearing that the Liangshan bandits might attack again.

Xuan Zan and the others couldn't stop them.

Until Xuanzan reported that the camp had been set up.

Guan Shengcai ordered his personal guards to remove their armor.

Chapter 1491 A Dilemma

After several battles,

The armor that used to feel nothing,

Today has also become unusually heavy.

After removing the armor,

Guan Sheng felt a sense of relief.

"Brother, how should we arrange the defenses tonight?"

Guan Sheng hadn't even had time to catch his breath.

Xuan Zan's question made him frown again.

Last night, in order to guard against an attack on the camp by the Liangshan bandits,

None of the soldiers closed their eyes.
