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

Here

After Zhao Yuan approached Liu Tang and Li Kui, who were fighting,

He then stepped forward and separated the two.

"Alright, we're all old acquaintances, why get so worked up!"

"Brother, it wasn't me who wanted to hit him,"

Li Kui looked aggrieved.

"This guy came looking for me first!"

"Alright, you black rascal, stop pretending!"

Zhao Yuan glared at Li Kui with a smile.

"How dare you take that axe and go looking for trouble!"

"Didn't I tell you not to grab your axe on the mountain?"

Black Whirlwind gave an embarrassed smile after being scolded.

He dared not talk back.

Liu Tang here,

They dared not be too presumptuous in front of Zhao Yuan.

"Chief Zhao!"

"Um,"

Zhao Yuan patted the red-haired devil on the shoulder.

As the saying goes, true friendship is revealed in times of adversity.

"King Chao, we Liangshan will remember this favor from Brother Liu Tang."

"Chief Zhao, we are only repaying a debt of gratitude,"

Liu Tang laughed heartily.

"By the way, how's things going at Qingfeng Mountain?"

Zhao Yuan asked,

"fine,"

The red-haired demon briefly explained the situation at Qingfeng Mountain.

"I wonder what Dong Ping, the dual-wielding general, was thinking,"

"They only stationed troops at the foot of the mountain and did not attack our mountain stronghold."

"The scholar said that Dong Ping was probably terrified of Liangshan,"

"Therefore, they wanted to use the excuse of sending troops to Qingfeng Mountain to avoid being summoned by the imperial court to attack Liangshan."

"Yes, that's certainly a possibility,"

Zhao Yuan couldn't help but nod.

Dong Ping was one of the original Five Tiger Generals of Liangshan.

In terms of military strength,

Even in Liangshan now,

It can easily rank in the top ten.

The reason I was able to easily defeat the Twin Gunners last time was...

Actually, it all relies on prior ambush.

But even so,

In the end, Dong Ping still managed to escape!

"That guy's got a good plan,"

Zhu Wu sneered.

"If Liangshan gains the upper hand, then they can avoid repeating the mistakes of Dongping Prefecture,"

"But if the government troops have the upper hand, I'm afraid that guy will immediately lead his troops to the marsh."

"It's alright, as long as we prevent the latter from happening,"

Zhao Yuan smiled confidently.

"Once we've dealt with the government troops in Tokyo, we'll go to Qingzhou to help King Chao out of his predicament!"

Seeing the confidence of the Liangshan heroes in the face of the government's large army's encirclement and suppression...

Liu Tang immediately felt relieved.

Although Song Jiang beside him also had a smile on his face,

But my feelings were incredibly complicated.

He didn't expect that

The imperial army of tens of thousands

They were completely disregarded by Liangshan.

The court gained its authority.

They've actually fallen this low!

.....

No one paid any attention to Song Jiang's depressed mood.

After Liu Tang was relieved,

Then he rolled up his sleeves again.

Provoking Li Kui,

I want to continue the fight I had with him before!

If this continues...

We have to really fight this battle.

Zhao Yuan naturally couldn't allow Liu Tang and Li Kui to truly become enemies.

He then provoked them with words.

Using the excuse that Li Kui had just wrestled with Jiao Ting for a while,

By this time, he was already exhausted.

If Liu Tang were to make a move at this moment,

That is taking advantage of someone's vulnerability!

A江湖汉子 (jianghu man) like the Red-Haired Demon

They value their reputation more than their lives.

Seeing this, they could only reluctantly give up...

Chapter 709 How to Turn Hua Rong into One of Our Own

That night,

Liangshan held a banquet in the Hall of Gathering Righteousness.

They came to entertain Song Jiang and his two companions.

Timely Rain originally intended to be adept at social maneuvering,

To leave a good impression on the leaders of Liangshan.

But unexpectedly, they encountered setbacks everywhere.

The men of Liangshan

It seems that no one has a good impression of him.

Those with a better attitude

Like the three strategists of Liangshan,

He seemed very polite.

But it clearly reveals a sense of alienation.

And many more men couldn't hide their true feelings.

When facing Song Jiang,

They are all like Li Kui, the Black Whirlwind.

He showed obvious disdain.

Compared to Song Jiang,

The other two

Hua Rong, the Little Li Guang, and Liu Tang, the Red-Haired Devil

These two are much more popular.

Liu Tang was already an old acquaintance of Liangshan.

And Hua Rong,

The reason it is so popular,

first,

It's because he's Hua Xiaomei's older brother.

Secondly,

This is because Hua Rong was skilled in archery.

At the beginning,

Zhao Yuan brought Hua Xiaomei back to Liangshan from Qingfeng Mountain.

They also appointed her as the archer instructor for Liangshan.

Many Liangshan leaders were willing to believe Zhao Yuan,

But he was still somewhat unconvinced by Hua Xiaomei.

However, after Hua Xiaomei demonstrated her archery skills...

These dissatisfactions and doubts,

It quickly turned into conviction!

And because of the past,

When Hua Xiaomei was teaching archery to the Liangshan soldiers...

Naturally, she mentioned her brother quite often.

Hua Rong's archery skills were superb.

After Little Li Guang went up the mountain this time...

Naturally, he had to be present in front of the Liangshan leaders, who had long heard of his abilities.

He displayed his archery skills.

After that amazing archery skill was displayed,

The leaders of Liangshan,

Naturally, everyone was convinced.
