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

Huyan Zhuo coldly looked at Yun Tianbiao kneeling before him.

He remained silent the whole time.

Yun Tianbiao, however, showed considerable patience.

But he was forced to kneel for a long time.

He didn't say a word!

The two remained locked in this stalemate for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Bai Sheng and Han Tao realized that things couldn't continue like this.

All I could do was ask.

"Steward Yun, what brings you here? Why do you need to do this?"

"That's right, Steward Yun,"

Tianmu also spoke up to persuade Peng Qi.

"Whatever it is, get up first, let's go into the tent and talk about it."

Seeing these two of Huyan Zhuo's confidants speak,

Yun Tianbiao then spoke in a deep voice,

"This humble general did this to express his resolve to General Huyan!"

"I hope General Huyan can give this humble general a chance to atone for his sins with meritorious service!"

"what chance?"

Huyan Zhuo looked completely bewildered.

"Didn't I already promise that you would be allowed to redeem yourself through meritorious service when we wipe out Liangshan?"

"But if that's the case, who knows when I'll be able to achieve merit?"

Yun Tianbiao said with a determined expression,

"Today, this humble general has been defeated by Liangshan; what a disgrace and humiliation!"

"Every time I think of this, my heart aches as if it were being torn apart! I can neither eat nor sleep properly!"

"Therefore, this humble general would like to request that the general grant me permission to serve as the vanguard and attack Liangshan Merchant Town once again?"

"What did you say?"

Huyan Zhuo was taken aback for a moment.

He then said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry,

"The entire army of Jingyang Town has been wiped out!"

"Even if I agree, where will you get the soldiers to attack that small town on Liangshan?"

"Do you expect me to allocate the Imperial Guards of Tokyo to you?"

"This humble general dares not,"

Yun Tianbiao explained,

"This humble general has already asked his colleagues in other prefectures of Shandong for help,"

"They sympathize with my plight and have each lent their troops, gathering two thousand soldiers to avenge my humiliation!"

".....you!"

Upon hearing this, Huyan Zhuo

His face turned ashen.

He was the commander-in-chief appointed by the imperial court.

Those generals from Shandong prefectures who brought troops here.

They should all be under his command!

But now,

These generals didn't say a single word to him.

He then gathered two thousand soldiers for Yun Tianbiao!

This is a direct slap in the face to Hu Yanzhuo!

Huyan Zhuo snorted coldly.

Without saying a word, he turned and returned to his military tent.

General Han Tao and General Peng Qi exchanged a glance.

The former shook his head helplessly.

The latter glanced at Yun Tianbiao,

The two then walked into the military tent together.

.....

Just entered,

The two then saw that Huyan Zhuo's face was ashen.

He stood before the altar where the imperial edict was offered, his fists clenched.

The imperial edict was naturally an order from the court appointing Huyan Zhuo as the commander-in-chief.

The imperial edict ordering the generals of the various prefectures in Shandong.

"I absolutely must kill him!"

Huyan Zhuo gritted his teeth and said,

"That scoundrel is truly hateful..."

Chapter 755 To Guard Against Unexpected Events

"General, please don't act rashly!"

Tianmu quickly spoke up to persuade Peng Qi.

"Yun Tianbiao is, after all, the military commander of Jingyang Town,"

"Although he is currently under the command of a general,"

"But if we rashly kill him, it will definitely give others something to say!"

"General Huyan, Old Peng is right,"

Han Tao, the champion of Bai Sheng, also said,

"Although that fellow is hateful, we should not act rashly."

"Alright, how could I not know what you two are saying?"

Huyan Zhuo shook his head.

"I was just being impulsive just now,"

"How could I possibly kill him without authorization?"

"Even if we were to take action, we should at least report it to Tokyo first."

Seeing that what Huyan Zhuo said was clearly not a lie,

Tianmu General Peng Qi and Baisheng General Han Tao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"That General Huyan,"

Peng Qi asked curiously,

"What are you planning to do with Yun Tianbiao?"

"He wants to be the vanguard, so this general will grant his wish."

Huyan Zhuo said coldly,

"If he can succeed with only two thousand old and weak soldiers, then it will be a stroke of luck."

"If we happen to encounter an ambush by Liangshan,"

"I'll use them as bait!"

"Bait?"

Tianmu General Peng Qi and Baisheng General Han Tao exchanged a glance.

The former couldn't help but ask,

"Does the general mean that Liangshan will still have an ambush in that small town?"

"It's only a possibility,"

Huyan Zhuo pondered for a moment,

"Judging from the fact that Jingyang Town was ambushed today,"

"This Liangshan bandit group is clearly no ordinary bandit group that only knows how to charge and kill."

"If that's the case, how could they possibly give up a commercial town to us so easily?"

"Yun Tianbiao was only interested in getting a bargain,"

"If you're not careful, you might not get a good deal."

"He himself will fall into the trap!"

After the three finished discussing,

Huyan Zhuo ordered Han Tao, the Hundred-Victory General, to leave the main tent.

Tell Yun Tianbiao, who is kneeling in front of the tent,

He has already agreed to his request.

Yun Tianbiao was permitted to bring the gathered elderly, weak, and soldiers again tomorrow.

Heading to Liangshan Deshang Town.

"Thank you, General Huyan,"

Yun Tianbiao was overjoyed.

He hurriedly went into the tent to thank Huyan Zhuo.

But Bai Sheng stopped Han Tao.

"Alright, tomorrow morning, after breakfast, you can go on your own."

Han Tao said with a stern face,

"General Huyan has already rested, so please don't disturb him any further."

Yun Tianbiao also knew,

He had now completely offended Huyan Zhuo.

Seeing this, he didn't press the matter further.

With a joyful expression, he turned and walked back to the camp in Jingyang Town.

He started with his son Yunlong.

Arrangements for tomorrow's advance.

Meanwhile,

After Yun Tianbiao left,

General Han Tao, however, strode towards the camp of the Dongchang Prefecture army.

Zhang Qing returned to Huyan Zhuo's main tent with the featherless arrow.

"General Huyan, do you want me to lead my troops to follow behind Jingyang Town again tomorrow?"
