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

"Waiting for the fish to fall into the net."

"Everyone should be careful these next couple of days,"

"Don't run around,"

"so as not to alarm the authorities,"

"It will cause unnecessary trouble."

"Your Majesty, rest assured,"

Wu Song laughed and said, "We've come here to do something big."

"Everyone knows this in their hearts,"

"I would never dare to act recklessly."

"That's good,"

Zhao Yuan nodded.

"After this is over,"

"Of course, I'll let my brothers stay in this Tokyo city,"

Have some fun!

"If this succeeds,"

Shi Qian laughed,

"Your Majesty is about to become Emperor,"

“We,”

"They were all high-ranking officials and nobles in the imperial court."

"It's not over yet,"

Zhao Yuan shook his head and said,

"It is always best to be cautious in everything."

"What Your Majesty says is true,"

Yan Qing frowned and said, "I heard from Ying'er that Zhao Ji is extremely worried about the state of the world."

"It's been many days since he last came,"

"I'm afraid we don't know when it will arrive."

Zhao Yuan laughed and said, "You go and meet with Cui Ying every day."

"The news will naturally reach Zhao Ji's ears,"

"Given Zhao Ji's character,"

"They will definitely come."

"Your Majesty,"

Yan Qing asked curiously,

"You seem to know a lot about Emperor Huizong of Song?"

"Have you met before?"

"Don't forget, I used to be from Kaifeng too,"

Zhao Yuan shook his head.

"I'll tell you the specifics later."

"I'm afraid the credit for capturing Zhao Ji will fall into your hands."

Shi Qian winked at Yan Qing and said,

"Xiao Yi, don't let your legs go weak from all the fun,"

"Instead, they were caught red-handed in bed by Emperor Huizong (Zhao Ji)."

Chapter 1684 Tong Guan

Zhao Yuan and his group then went into hiding in Tokyo.

Furthermore, after Tong Guan led his troops down into Jiangnan,

They then dismissed Zhu Mian and his sons from their official positions.

Winning over the hearts and minds of the people.

Then, government troops were dispatched to garrison Jiangning and Zhenjiang.

To control the Yangtze River.

Then they split into two groups.

They were led by Wang Bing and Liu Zhen respectively.

Attack Hangzhou and Shezhou simultaneously.

At this time, Fang La also divided the Manichean forces into two groups.

Heading north,

They marched south and captured Wuzhou and Quzhou.

The Manicheans were blinded by their victory.

Upon learning that Tong Guan's army had already marched south, the troops heading north...

Instead of staying in Hangzhou to strengthen city defenses,

Instead, they wanted to continue capturing more cities.

Fang Qifo led an army of 70,000 men.

Go and seize Xiuzhou, northeast of Hangzhou.

Wang Bing also led his troops to attack Hangzhou.

Fang Qifo was leading the Manichaean elite to attack Xiuzhou.

He immediately led his troops to attack Fang Qifo.

A field battle,

Fang Qifo's so-called elite troops were no match for the battle-hardened Western Army.

They retreated all the way back to Hangzhou.

Wang Bing led his troops in pursuit of the victory.

They surrounded Hangzhou.

After Fang La captured the city,

They would distribute money and grain to the people.

In addition, many civilians were recruited into Fang La's rebel army.

Although they don't have much fighting power.

However, they still need to eat food every day.

Not long after being surrounded,

The city then ran out of food.

With the arrival of the main force led by Tong Guan,

Fang La then burned Hangzhou.

They fled Hangzhou overnight.

They retreated to their base in Muzhou.

Muzhou was the very place where Fang La raised his army.

The country also has the largest number of Manichaeans.

Fang La retreated to Muzhou.

They quickly replenished their supplies and troops.

Fang La was unwilling to give up Hangzhou.

He then dispatched Fang Qifo to lead troops in a counterattack on Hangzhou.

The hastily assembled followers and people

Facing Tong Guan's main Western Army,

Naturally, they suffered another crushing defeat.

Not only did they fail to capture Hangzhou,

Instead, it greatly damaged their vitality.

at the same time,

Fang La's southward-bound troops, after capturing Quzhou and Wuzhou,

Continue the attack on Taizhou and Yuezhou.

When Emperor Huizong's imperial edict ordering the withdrawal of troops arrived in Hangzhou...

Liu Zhen's army has also captured Shezhou.

Tong Guan's army could then launch a pincer attack on Muzhou from both Shezhou and Hangzhou.

Tong Guan also knew that Muzhou was Fang La's base of operations.

Important figures in Manichaeism were all in Muzhou.

Once Muzhou is captured

It can be said that the chaos of Manichaeism,

Then the matter was considered settled.

The remaining Manichaean remnants, lacking the influence of figures like Fang La,

They would be easy to wipe out.

While Tong Guan was discussing with others how to encircle Muzhou,

But then they heard that an imperial edict had been delivered.

Tong Guan hurriedly led his troops out to receive the imperial edict.

Everyone initially thought the emperor had learned that they had recaptured Hangzhou.

Bestow rewards upon them.

Unexpectedly, it was the Liangshan bandits who caused the disturbance.

Threatening the capital

Let Tong Guan return to the capital in triumph.

After the eunuch delivering the imperial edict finished reading it,

Seeing Tong Guan standing there in a daze,

Although somewhat displeased

But he dared not say more.

I could only cough twice.

"Tong Guan accepts the imperial decree."

Tong Guan received the imperial edict.

"Where have the Liangshan bandits fought to?"
