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

Although the two sides did not engage in combat for long,

But at this time,

The shouts of battle outside had noticeably decreased.

You're welcome.

It was clear that most of the soldiers had their eyes on the ambush.

They all couldn't hold out and surrendered.

Seeing this, Guan Sheng could only shake his head and say,

"Only after arriving did I realize how strong and well-equipped the Liangshan army was."

"Our campaign this time is doomed to failure,"

"Now this matter is no longer General Hu's fault."

"Now that we have been defeated and captured,"

"I only wish to die."

Xuan Zan and Hao Siwen glanced at each other.

"We are willing to live and die with the general."

Zhao Yuan saw the deep loyalty among the three men.

"If the three of you are interested,"

"Why don't we all go to Liangshan and work together to uphold justice?"

"If you are unwilling, I will not force you,"

"Then we will send the three generals out of the camp."

Upon hearing this, Shan Tinggui advised, "General Guan has now suffered a defeat."

"If we go back like this, Tong Guan and the others will blame you."

"Our chieftain is so loyal,"

"Why doesn't the general stay and join us in this great cause?"

"It's better than going back to the imperial court and being harassed by those treacherous officials."

Guan Sheng glanced at Xuan Zan and Hao Siwen, who were standing by him through thick and thin.

Considering that all three were skilled in martial arts,

Going back like this would be a lucky escape from punishment.

They would certainly not be given important positions.

Wouldn't that be a waste of all the learning I've done in my life?

Thinking of this, he was naturally unwilling.

As our ancestors said, "If you know me, I will repay you; if you know me, I will repay you."

"The chieftain is righteous, and I, Guan, am willing to surrender and serve Liangshan."

Zhao Yuan saw that Guan Sheng and the other two were willing to join him.

He was overjoyed.

He immediately ordered a celebratory banquet to be held in the central command tent.

Before long, Lu Zhishen and the other leaders outside the tent had also cleared the camp.

More than 30,000 troops

Apart from killing more than three thousand people,

The rest have all surrendered.

Zhao Yuan then ordered that only able-bodied young men be selected from among them.

Give some silver to the elderly and weak.

Give up on going home.

...

Bianliang, Tokyo

After learning of Guan Shengde's failed campaign against Liangshan, Gao Kan...

Just as they were thinking of sending more troops to attack Liangshan,

The imperial court sent horse administration officials to the Jin state.

However, he returned with the Jin envoys Bo Jin and He Lu.

Both parties agreed that

They fought together against the Liao in the third year of the Xuanhe era.

Emperor Huizong of Song (Zhao Ji) even made a special trip to Tong Guan's residence to show his favor.

Tong Guan received a promise from the emperor that he would be made a king if he succeeded in his mission.

They immediately began to prepare for battle.

They were preparing to launch the campaign against Liao.

The attack on Liangshan by Gao Kan

Naturally, it was put on hold.

And in that same month,

Emperor Huizong then ordered Ma Zheng and Wang Xiang to serve as envoys to the Jin Dynasty once again.

They also escorted Jin envoys Bo Jin and He Lu back to the Jin state.

They were just waiting for Ma Zheng to return so that both sides could work together to destroy the Liao Kingdom.

And at the same time,

After Liangshan incorporated many imperial guards,

They are also preparing for war.

On this day,

Zhao Yuan recalled Wu Song from White Tiger Mountain.

While he was drinking with the village leaders,

But then Jiao Ting came to report.

They said a guest had arrived.

When Zhao Yuan arrived at the Hall of Gathering Righteousness, he said...

Several people were already standing in the hall.

One of the figures was a woman in white.

However, it was something Zhao Yuan was very familiar with.

But I can't remember it right now.

Sure enough, when they got to the front,

Zhao Yuan took a closer look,

That woman was Fang Baihua, who had attempted to assassinate Cai Jiu in Jiangzhou.

Fang Baihua smiled when she saw Zhao Yuan.

"After several months, the chieftain's demeanor remains as impressive as ever."

Fang Baihua smiled like that,

Zhao Yuan felt that the hall of gathering righteousness had become brighter.

He quickly clasped his hands in a fist and smiled,

"Miss Fang is still as dashing and spirited as ever."

The two exchanged a few pleasantries.

Zhao Yuan looked up at the two people on either side of Fang Baihua.

But then they saw two people,

One was a refined scholar,

One was a strong and muscular man.

"I heard that Master Fang of Jiangnan has sent someone here,"

"Therefore, a special summons was convened of all the leaders to show the solemnity,"

Now that everyone has arrived,

"Please state your purpose, envoy."

Fang Baihua heard this,

He then took out a letter from his pocket and presented it to her, saying,

"I am Fang Baihua, the younger sister of the Holy Duke of Jiangnan,"

"These two are Lou Minzhong and Guo Shiguang, whom I taught."

"We are here on the orders of the Holy Lord to invite Chief Zhao of Liangshan to Tokyo to attend the Heroes' Gathering,"

"Everyone discussed the matter of overthrowing the Zhao Song dynasty."

When the leaders in the hall heard that the court was to be overthrown,

They immediately became noisy.

Li Kui immediately shouted,

"That's good. Then Brother Zhao will become emperor."

"The three strategists will then serve as prime ministers,"

"Master Gongsun is the Imperial Preceptor,"

"We can all be generals too."

Chapter 1499 Fang Baihua

Liu Tang and many other leaders who rose from humble backgrounds,

They all started shouting.

Xu Guanzhong noticed that Zhao Yuan was still reading the letter.

Frowning,

"Brothers, don't panic."

"Let's wait until the chieftain reads the letter before we speak."

The letter contained nothing more than polite remarks about having long admired the Liangshan heroes.

The people of this world are now living in misery.

Therefore, Fang La specifically invited the Liangshan heroes to meet in Tokyo.

Discussing with heroes from all over the world to overthrow the Song Dynasty,

This would also help save the people from their suffering.

Zhao Yuan read the letter and handed it to Xu Guanzhong.

Xu Guanzhong, after reading it, waved his feather fan and said...

"Although the current court is corrupt, and treacherous officials are in power,"
