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

"When I see corrupt officials, I just avoid them."

"But with this gold medal,"

"But I had no choice but to punish them,"

"Wouldn't that create too much trouble?"

Zhao Yuan smiled and said, "These things depend on your wishes."

"If you're not in the mood,"

"Just go quietly."

"We don't know where you've been either."

"When you travel and enjoy the scenery, you will inevitably need to use carriages, horses, boats, and other means."

"Having this gold medal will save you a lot of trouble."

Yan Qing said helplessly, "This gold medal is really hard to accept."

"Haha, I'll leave that to myself."

"Once we return to Tokyo, I will ask the Emperor to bestow upon you a gold medal."

What else was Yan Qing going to say?

Lu Junyi glared at him.

"Even if you don't want to be an official,"

"One can also do some things for the imperial court in the martial arts world."

"Do you mean we should conquer the world together?"

"And then you just ignored it all."

Chapter 1960 The General's Family

Yan Qing saw Lu Junyi speak,

He could only cup his hands and say,

"Xiao Yi will definitely make good use of the gold medal."

Zhao Yuan asked, "How is the suppression of the bandits along Huanqing Road progressing?"

On that day, Renzhong abandoned 100,000 troops on Huanqing Road.

Xue Sichang persuaded most of them to surrender.

However, more than 20,000 soldiers still refused to surrender.

Instead, they scattered along Huanqing Road and became bandits.

They plundered the people everywhere.

When Zhao Yuan heard that Zhong Shidao and others had reached an agreement with Xue Sichang,

He was also furious.

His men have not spared the traitors.

Xue Sichang was undoubtedly far more shameless than Ren Dejing, who surrendered Xi'an Prefecture.

Ren Dejing's entire family was executed.

Then Xue Sichang should have his entire family executed.

However, the crowd agreed to spare Xue Sichang.

How could Zhao Yuan not be furious?

However, the decision was made jointly by Zhong Shidao, Lu Junyi, Wu Song, and others.

Zhao Yuan could no longer trample on everyone's promises.

Moreover, the decision made by the group cannot be said to be wrong.

Let Xue Sichang surround Renzhong.

Not only could it hasten the demise of the Western Xia,

This can also reduce casualties among the Liang army.

If Renzhong returns to Western Xia with 200,000 troops...

Even after Zhao Yuan conquered the Xingling region.

Renzhong also has enough troops to guard the Yinxia region.

They might not easily submit to the Great Liang.

Once the war resumes

Daliang will surely win.

However, the price to pay will inevitably be high.

It can be said that the public's choice was undoubtedly the most rational.

Zhao Yuan had to admit this as well.

Therefore, after being angry for a while...

Then there was no more resentment.

He also rewarded everyone.

After Lu Junyi persuaded Renzhong's army to surrender,

They then contacted Huanqing Road and Fuyan Road.

They want to transfer troops from two locations to the Yinxia region.

After all, he only had five thousand men under his command.

Although all the tribes have surrendered

However, Daliang still had to send troops to garrison the area.

Therefore, they are very familiar with the news about Huanqing Road.

"After Li Ying arrived with his own 10,000 troops and 50,000 barbarian soldiers,"

"Then they wiped out most of the bandits,"

"Only a few small groups of bandits remain, slippery and ruthless."

"After Lin Chong and Liu Guangshi of Fuyan Road also arrived with their troops,"

"Then those bandits were completely wiped out."

Zhao Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, the bandits on Huanqing Road have been wiped out."

"The situation on Shaanxi Road will be stable now."

"It's time to reorganize the troops in the Zhongshi Division,"

"The troops of Huanqing Road followed Xue Sichang in defecting to the Western Xia,"

"Our Great Liang does not use such troops,"

"We will have no choice but to have them all retire and return to their hometowns."

Lu Junyi asked, "How should the defense of the Yinxia region be arranged?"

Zhao Yuan said, "Your troops have traveled thousands of miles."

"Let's rest and recuperate in Xia Prefecture for a while,"

"It also serves as a deterrent to all departments."

"The Yinxia region also has no shortage of Han Chinese,"

"We'll recruit soldiers locally in a while."

"The five thousand men who raided Xingqing Prefecture,"

"Then I'll return it to you,"

"However, Zhang Qing has already been promoted to commander of ten thousand,"

"He wants to come back to Tokyo with me to take up his post."

Lu Junyi smiled and said, "Zhang Qing has made many contributions."

"You've been wronged under my command for a long time."

The group entered the Xia Prefecture government office.

A banquet to welcome Prince Liang has been set up in the main hall.

The welcoming banquet that Lu Junyi prepared for Zhao Yuan was extremely lavish.

Not only were the food and wine delicacies exquisite,

Even the women dancing in the middle were all exceptionally beautiful.

After Zhao Yuan sat down, he smiled and said,

"General Lu has misappropriated funds from the treasury in this way,"

"Aren't you afraid of being impeached by the censors?"

Lu Junyi said, "I haven't touched a single penny from the treasury."

"They were all purchased with funds from various departments,"

"The women dancing were all beauties from their tribe,"

"They are hoping that the King of Liang will take a liking to them."

Zhao Yuan shook his head helplessly.

The Yinxia region is the stronghold of the Weiming clan.

He dared not carry two dangerous items with him.

Zhao Yuan saw Yan Qing arranging for a young, married military officer to sit in the front row and couldn't help but ask,

"Who is that?"

Although the surrendered Western Xia people also changed into Han Chinese attire...

However, their baldness was due to their heads being shaved.

A person with long hair appeared among a group of bald people.

It is naturally very eye-catching.

Lu Junyi glanced at it.

"He is Zhe Kecun, the younger brother of Zhe Keqiu, the current head of the Zhe family."

"I heard that the King of Liang is going to return to the capital via the Yinxia region,"

"Then they rushed over to pay their respects."

The Zhe family generals were a rare separatist force among the Song, Western Xia, and Liao dynasties.

Although nominally a military general of the Song Dynasty,

However, the prefectures of Lin, Fu, and Feng were hereditary.

It can be said that the troops in the three prefectures were entirely the private army of the Zhe family.

However, Lin, Fu, and Feng prefectures are located in Hedong.

The Zhe family generals were not considered part of the Western Army.

Otherwise, the Zhong family could not be considered the foremost military family in the Western Army.

Zhao Yuan did not summon Zhe Kecun for questioning.

Instead, they waited until the banquet ended.
