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

He suddenly twisted his ankle.

He fell flat on his back.

Gao Kan let out a miserable scream.

Ignoring the pain in his ankle,

Get up.

He then continued running forward, limping.

Lin Chong held a torch,

However, they did not have this concern.

They caught up quickly.

Gao Kan heard footsteps behind him.

One cannot help but feel the ghosts rising in one's heart.

It darted forward with all its might.

Lin Chong looked at the high embankment a few steps ahead.

With a sudden thrust of his spear,

He then stabbed Gao Kan in the leg.

Gao Kan might consider this change.

He was immediately stabbed squarely.

"what!"

Gao Kan let out a miserable scream.

He fell to the ground.

Seeing Lin Chong catching up,

He quickly knelt down and begged for mercy.

"Instructor Lin, spare my life!"

Lin Chong struck Gao Kan in the cheek with his spear.

He knocked Gao Kan to the ground and shouted,

"You scoundrel almost ruined my family!"

"You still have the nerve to beg me for mercy?"

Gao Kan spat out two teeth.

One side of his cheek immediately swelled up quite a bit.

But they dared not hesitate.

He got up and knelt down again, saying...

"It wasn't my idea; it was my godfather who framed you at the White Tiger Hall,"

"The idea to murder you at the hayfield was also Lu Qian's!"

Lin Chong knocked Gao Kan down again with a single spear thrust.

"You two, father and son, are good at shifting blame,"

"Anyway, Gao Qiu is dead now,"

"You're just putting all the blame on him!"

"Instructor Lin, as the saying goes, it's better to resolve conflicts than to let them fester,"

Gao Kan begged for mercy,

"Okay, as long as you let me go back,"

"I will definitely plead with the Emperor to get you an imperial edict,"

"You are pardoned from all your previous crimes,"

"How about I get you a fifth-rank official position?"

Lin Chong stepped onto the high embankment.

"You corrupt official, I am now a general of the Liang Kingdom,"

"Why would I go back to the Song Dynasty to be a fifth-rank official?"

Gao Kan saw the murderous intent on Lin Chong's face.

"How could Liangshan possibly defeat the imperial court?"

"If Instructor Lin thinks his rank is too low, I'll get you a fourth-rank official position."

Lin Chong, however, did not answer.

He raised his spear directly.

It stabbed hard into Gao Kan's neck.

"what!"

"boom!"

Gao Kan screamed in fright.

But he found that Lin Chong's spear had grazed his neck and was stuck in the ground.

His eyes rolled around.

Thinking Lin Chong had changed his mind, he quickly said,

"Thank you so much, Instructor Lin, for sparing my life! Thank you so much, Instructor Lin, for sparing my life!"

"I will definitely keep my word."

Lin Chong lifted his foot and released Gao Kan, shouting.

"Someone, take him back."

Gao Kan heard that Lin Chong had ordered someone to take him back.

He was taken aback.

But the thought of being taken back to the thieves' lair...

He hurriedly cried out, "Instructor Lin, spare my life!"

Lin Chong turned around and glared at Gao Kan, saying, "If you shout again, I will kill you right now."

Gao Kan met Lin Chong's murderous gaze.

He quickly shut his mouth.

……

Looking at the newly risen sun,

Zhao Yuan was refreshed and in high spirits.

In a single day and night, they decisively defeated Gao Kan's 100,000-strong army.

It won't take long,

The fame of the Great Liang will then spread throughout the world.

By the time,

More heroes will come to join me...

Chapter 1611 Next Steps

but……

Zhao Yuan gazed southward.

I feel somewhat worried.

A few days ago,

He then received a message from a scout specifically sent to the south.

Fang La led his troops to capture Hangzhou.

It boasts an army of one million.

But this million-strong army,

But everyone knows they are just Manichaeans.

Not a real million-strong army.

Therefore, Tong Guan dared to lead 200,000 Western troops south.

However, bystanders see things more clearly than those directly involved.

The Manichaeans actually treated their one million followers as a one million-strong army.

As Tong Guan's 200,000-strong army marched south...

They actually split into two groups.

Heading north,

Heading south,

They wanted to take over all the counties in the southeast.

Zhao Yuan also sent an urgent message to Fang Baihua.

She advised Fang La to concentrate all his efforts on a decisive battle with Tong Guan.

Or the entire army could march south.

Temporarily avoid the limelight.

Then, by utilizing the strategic locations in various places, they could weaken Tong Guan's strength.

However, Fang La rejected this suggestion.

Zhao Yuan was naturally eager for Tong Guan to eradicate Manichaeism completely.

However, Fang Baihua's safety had to be considered.

However, he is currently unable to spare the time to take care of Fang Baihua.

Fang Baihua was also unwilling to go north.

All he could do was let Daliang cause an even bigger commotion.

Hopefully, this will allow Tong Guan to divide his forces.

Zhao Yuan stretched his body slightly in the courtyard.

He then instructed Shi Yong, who was standing nearby, to summon all the generals to the main hall of the yamen for a meeting.

As soon as Li Kui entered, he shouted,

"Brother, where should we fight next?"

Upon hearing this, the generals

They all looked at Zhao Yuan.

Zhao Yuan laughed and said, "Our army fought two battles yesterday."

"The soldiers must be exhausted. Let them rest for two days before we talk again."

Upon hearing this, Li Kui hurriedly said,

"The two battles combined didn't even take half a day,"

"What's there to be tired about? My team of players can still play a few more games."
