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

"Lu Shinang now boasts an army of 500,000,"

"Occupying six cities in Jiangnan Circuit: Wenzhou, Chuzhou, Taizhou, Wuzhou, Muzhou, and Quzhou,"

"There are also several prefectures along Fujian Road, such as Fuzhou, Jianzhou, and Nanjianzhou."

Zhao Yuan said resentfully, "That bastard has some lucky dog ​​luck."

"However, he does command an army of a million,"

"They're all just a rabble,"

"After the east bank of the river is pacified,"

"The king then led his troops south and pacified Jiangnan."

Upon hearing this, Wen Huanzhang hurriedly said,

"Your Majesty, we must not be careless,"

"After the pacification of Hedong,"

"We should also leave some troops stationed east of the river,"

"To guard against the Western Capital Road of the Liao Kingdom."

Even with the addition of well-trained new troops,

"The number of troops that can be mobilized is no more than 100,000,"

"It will probably be very difficult to pacify Jiangnan."

"Back then, Tong Guan led the Western Army to besiege Fang La,"

"But it took the Western Army a full 100,000 casualties to achieve this victory."

Zhao Yuan shook his head and said, "Lu Shinang's momentum seems even greater than Fang La's back then."

"But his troops were definitely not as strong as Fang La's troops back then."

"Those with fighting ability are still the Manichean elites,"

"The remaining ordinary people caught in the crossfire,"

"No long-term training,"

"They are just a mob."

"We also cannot give Lü Shinang time to train his troops,"

"Once the remaining forces of Tian Hu in Hedong are wiped out,"

"Then we can move our troops south."

"At that time, the weather in Jiangnan was also beginning to cool down,"

"Our troops need not worry about the high temperatures in Jiangnan,"

"We will surely be able to wipe out the Southern Song and Lü Shi'nang in one fell swoop."

Wen Huanzhang thought for a moment, then replied.

“What the king says makes sense,”

"However, we must not underestimate our opponent,"

"If we head south, we must mobilize our best troops and generals."

Zhao Yuan nodded and said, "You're right."

"The remaining forces of Tian Hu in Hedong have been basically wiped out,"

"I plan to leave Guan Sheng and Han Cunbao's troops to guard Hedong,"

"Order Shi Wengong, Hua Rong, and Qin Ming to withdraw their troops."

"Plus the troops of Huyan Zhuo and Luan Tingyu,"

"Mobilize another 50,000 new troops,"

"Lead 100,000 troops south,"

"Sweep away the Southern Song Dynasty and Lü Shinang's tribe."

Zhao Yuan said, "Hasn't Lu Junyi's troops already set off from Western Xia?"

"Why not take those ten thousand Liangshan veterans with us as well?"

"They are strong in combat."

Wen Huanzhang shook his head and said, "Lu Junyi's troops have fought across thousands of miles."

"It's not advisable to travel south of the Yangtze River again."

"After his unit returned,"

"We will guard Tokyo together with Wu Song's troops."

Zhao Yuan thought for a moment,

"Didn't Lin Chong's troops also return from Shaanxi?"

"Those 10,000 veterans didn't get any credit,"

"They must all be holding back a lot of energy,"

"Take them south,"

"So as not to waste the credit of this old Liangshan soldier,"

"They were not as good as those who surrendered later."

After Zhao Yuan captured Tokyo,

Three armies were dispatched to seize Jingdong Road, Hebei Road, and Jingji Road.

Lin Chong was familiar with the situation in Tokyo,

In addition, he was also a close friend of Zhao Yuan.

He then led his troops to remain in Tokyo.

Later, Tian Hu and Wang Qing threatened to attack Daliang.

Zhao Yuan then transferred Lin Chong's troops to garrison Xijing.

As a result, the Liang army regrouped.

Calling for all-out resistance against foreign aggression,

Tian Hu and Wang Qing did not dare to attack Xijing.

Then Zhao Yuan led his troops to fight against the Western Xia.

Lin Chong then led his troops to garrison Jingzhao Prefecture to guard the grain supply route.

They have never been able to participate in the war.

Chapter 1717 An Opportunity to Make a Merit

Later, the three armies joined forces to encircle Renzhong's army.

Lin Chong finally got a chance to fight.

He was burning with pent-up energy, leading his troops north to prepare for a bloody rampage.

As a result, Renzhong abandoned his 100,000 troops and fled.

When Lin Chong arrived in Huanzhou,

Xue Sichang has already persuaded most of the troops Renzhong left in Huanzhou to surrender.

The remaining bandits were almost completely wiped out by Li Ying and his troops.

It can be said that after capturing Tokyo,

Lin Chong's 10,000 troops

They therefore did not have the opportunity to fight.

Although they also deserved considerable credit for guarding the grain supply route,

However, the ten thousand Liangshan veterans under Lin Chong's command were not satisfied.

After all, they were the most senior soldiers in Liangshan.

It is also the strongest in terms of combat power.

20,000 veterans of Liangshan

Lu Junyi brought 10,000.

Lin Chong brought 10,000 with him.

Especially after Lu Junyi led 5,000 men to seize Weizhou and Yanzhou,

They also recruited the troops of Renzhong and Renli.

After news of the capture of the Yinxia region reached Lin Chong's army,

Lin Chong's soldiers were even more eager to fight back.

After the bandits and rebel troops along the Shaanxi Road were completely wiped out in Shaanxi,

There was no rest.

He led his troops back to base immediately.

Want to participate in the next battle,

I should be able to get back to Tokyo before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Lin Chong also wrote many letters to Zhao Yuan requesting battle.

Zhao Yuan, of course, had not forgotten Lin Chong, and laughed.

"I want Lin Chong to lead his troops to wipe out Wang Qing,"

"Our Great Liang defeated the Liao army,"

"They destroyed Western Xia and then Tian Hu."

"Wang Qing's forces are bound to be in a state of panic,"

"Lin Chong's men are also veterans of Liangshan,"

"Quite strong in combat,"

"Back then, Wang Qing was wiped out."

Wen Huanzhang said, "Wang Qing also has over 100,000 troops under his command."

"Lin Chong's 10,000 troops are a bit insufficient."

Zhao Yuan laughed and said, "We'll just mobilize tens of thousands of Shaanxi barbarian soldiers to help him then."

"The Shaanxi barbarian soldiers are brave and fierce,"

"Although I am not familiar with battle formations,"

"But they were all fearless and undaunted by death."

"Wang Qing's troops are mostly a rabble,"

"Unfamiliar with battle formations,"

"Using barbarian troops to fight Wang Qing's forces is just right."

Wen Huanzhang nodded and said, "After Your Majesty wiped out the Western Xia,"

"Wang Qing then presented a letter of surrender,"

"Wanting to submit to the Great Liang,"

"However, the Great Liang Dynasty wants to appoint him as a king,"

"And we will also make the cities he has just captured his fiefdom,"
