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

After breaking through Wenzhou,

All the officials were tortured to death.

Even their family members could not escape their clutches.

Cut off its flesh, sever its body.

Take its lungs and intestines,

Or boil it down into an oil.

Pierced by a hail of arrows,

Torture them in various ways

To avenge the blood debt

To relieve the hatred in my heart.

The cruelty of the scene was too much for Lü Shinang to bear.

The day after Wenzhou was captured,

Holy Maiden Fang Baihua then instructed Lü Shinang to convene a meeting of the sect's leaders.

The leaders under Lü Shinang were the Twelve Gods of Jiangnan.

Fang Baihua and Lü Shinang sat on either side of the main seat.

Fang Jie stood behind Fang Baihua.

The twelve gods of Jiangnan sat on either side.

Fang Baihua, seeing that everyone had arrived, said,

"Having captured Wenzhou, we now have provisions."

"We should all discuss how to avenge the Holy Duke."

Upon hearing this, Lü Shinang

He couldn't help but frown.

He glanced at the towering figure, Shen Gang from Fuzhou.

Shen Gang understood and spoke up.

"The army moved through several places,"

"The soldiers are exhausted."

"This humble general believes that the army should be allowed to rest for a few days,"

"It's not too late to send troops later."

Fang Baihua nodded and said, "What you said makes sense."

"Then let the army rest for three days,"

"Three days later, we will march north to attack Fuzhou,"

"To avenge the Holy Duke."

"As long as Tong Guan is killed,"

"Then no one in Jiangnan can stop my Manichaean army,"

"Then we can revive Manichaeism,"

"To save the people of Jiangnan."

Lu Shinang shook his head and said, "If we want to promote Manichaeism,"

"To save the people, I think it's better to head south."

Fang Baihua frowned and asked, "How so?"

Lü Shinang said, "Tong Guan has 20,000 troops."

"Recently, a new dynasty was established in Huzhou, and soldiers were recruited extensively."

"Killing him won't be easy."

"And if you go south, there are many Manichaeans in Fujian Road as well,"

"Furthermore, with the fall of the Song Dynasty, various regions were no longer under the jurisdiction of each other,"

“If we attack one place, other places will most likely not come to our aid.”

"This way, we can defeat them one by one,"

"Revive our Manichaeism."

Before Fang Baihua could speak, Fang Jie said,

"If we don't avenge the Holy Duke,"

"And they even talked about reviving Manichaeism,"

"Is it to give you more territory?"

Chapter 1815 Attacking Hangzhou

Fang Baihua frowned and scolded.

"General Lü has followed the Holy Duke for many years,"

“He is a trusted member of my Manichaeism and must not speak nonsense.”

Seeing that Fang Baihua was also somewhat displeased, Lü Shinang explained...

"It's not that we don't want to avenge the Holy Duke,"

"But if we attack Tong Guan now,"

"Even if we could capture Huzhou,"

"It will inevitably result in heavy losses."

"By then, it will probably be very difficult to attack other prefectures."

"Why not head south and attack some cities?"

"Expand our troops and then attack Huzhou."

Fang Baihua was no fool, and immediately replied,

"We will head south to expand our army,"

"Tong Guan is also recruiting soldiers,"

"And the longer it drags on,"

"The more prefectures pledge allegiance to Tong Guan, the more prefectures will be,"

"At that time, we will probably be facing a new dynasty."

"It's better to take advantage of Tong Guan's current weakness,"

"With only 20,000 men, we marched north and wiped them out in one fell swoop."

"Once Tong Guan dies, the remnants of the Song Dynasty in Jiangnan will be leaderless."

"Even if we only have 30% of our troops left by then,"

"That is also the largest power in Jiangnan."

"Followers from various places responded,"

"It's not necessarily impossible to unify Jiangnan."

Lu Shinang shook his head and said, "What the Holy Maiden says is true."

"But Tong Guan's 20,000 personal guards were all elite troops of the Western Army,"

"They also have the advantage of location,"

"It will be difficult for us to take Huzhou."

Fang Baihua laughed and said, "The elite troops of the Western Army are also human beings."

"We just need to spread the message,"

"They say the Northwest has already been occupied by the Western Xia,"

"The Western Xia people are massacring soldiers and civilians who are resisting in the northwest,"

"At that time, Tong Guan's personal troops will surely collapse in morale and rush to return to their hometowns."

"Huzhou can be taken in the blink of an eye, what is there to fear?"

"If Tong Guan were to recruit more soldiers from Jiangnan,"

"That's when it will be more difficult to deal with."

Dunjia Shenmu Zhou Yingming nodded and said,

"The Holy Maiden's plan is brilliant; all it takes is for the followers in Huzhou to release this information,"

"Perhaps when we arrive at the city of Huzhou,"

"Tong Guan's personal guards have already dispersed."

Shen Gang, the "Sky-Supporting God of Fuzhou," shook his head, his mind solely focused on retaking Fuzhou.

"I don't think so, if these Western troops want to go home,"

"When the majority of the Western Army returns in triumph, they should all go back together."

"I heard that Tong Guan paid these personal guards a lot of money,"

"I'm afraid these people have already recognized their enemy as their father and forgotten their hometown."

"It will be difficult to sow discord among them."

Lü Shinang nodded and said, "Shen Gang's words make sense."

Fang Baihua frowned and said, "Whether we can sow discord or not, we'll find out soon enough."

"I will immediately send a message to the believers in Huzhou,"

“Let them spread the news.”

"I urge General Lü to prepare his horses and sharpen his troops,"

"Be prepared to head north at any time."

Lu Shinang nodded and said, "As long as the Holy Maiden's plan works,"

"We will definitely lead our troops north to attack Huzhou."

"it is good."

Fang Baihua didn't say anything more.

He turned and left with Fang Jie.

Lu Shinang glanced at the twelve gods of Jiangnan in the hall and smiled.

"Everyone, go and reorganize the troops,"

“Integrate all the people and followers who have joined,”

"Those who lack weapons should expedite the production of new ones,"

"Each army should familiarize themselves with the formations,"

"Don't let the marches become chaotic."

"Yes, I will retire at the end."

"Yes, I will retire at the end."

"Yes, I will retire at the end."

After the twelve gods of Jiangnan departed,
