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

"Chief Zhao led over a thousand men to Dengzhou,"

Chao Gai laughed,

"Resupplying provisions must be a difficult task,"

"We brought some gold and silver with us,"

"Please make sure Chief Zhao takes this with him,"

"Once we arrive in Dengzhou, we can purchase grain from the local people."

"this....."

Zhao Yuan instinctively wanted to refuse.

Regarding the matter of grain and fodder supply mentioned by Chao Gai,

At the time of departure,

The two military advisors, Xu Guanzhong and Zhu Wu,

Of course, this had already been considered long ago.

In addition to carrying enough rations for half a month, the soldiers also

He also brought a lot of gold and silver.

It was intended to be used after arriving in Dengzhou.

They purchased grain from the people.

Seeing that Zhao Yuan seemed to want to refuse,

Chao Gai quickly said,

"Chief Zhao, please do not refuse,"

"If it weren't for Chief Zhao wanting to give up Qingfeng Mountain,"

"Now I don't even know where I'm wandering,"

"These gold and silver are just a small token of our appreciation,"

"Please, Liangshan, be sure to accept this!"

"Chief Zhao,"

Gongsun Sheng also advised,

"The chieftain has been kind to Qingfeng Mountain; if we do not repay him,"

"I've always felt uneasy."

"Please, Chieftain, give us a chance to repay your kindness."

Liu Tang, Zhu Tong, and others also spoke up to persuade him.

Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Zhao Yuan

They could only nod and accept the gold and silver jewelry.

"In that case, on behalf of Liangshan, I thank you all for your help!"

Seeing that Liangshan had accepted the gold and silver treasures,

Chao Gai and the others all wore expressions of joy.

They all bowed and clasped their hands.

"You're too kind, Chief Zhao!"

He chatted casually with Chao Gai and the others for a bit.

Zhao Yuan immediately took his leave and departed.

The situation in Dengzhou is urgent.

Now is certainly not the time for idle chatter.

Chao Gai and the others were clearly aware of this as well.

This did not further delay the Liangshan army's advance.

Just standing by the roadside,

Seeing that Liangshan had gained cavalry and infantry,

They stood in neat rows, facing each other.

Heading towards Dengzhou.

Compared to the orderly ranks of Liangshan,

On this side of Qingfeng Mountain,

Although Chao Gai only brought thirty or forty men this time,

But these lackeys

But they all had no proper posture when standing or sitting.

Looking at the orderly ranks of Liangshan now,

Chao Gai recalled the personal guards of Zhao Yuan that he had seen on Qingfeng Mountain before.

He was filled with envy.

He couldn't help but whisper.

"If only our Qingfeng Mountain could have such formidable soldiers."

"Since the Heavenly King is so sincere, he should go back and train his soldiers properly."

Gongsun Sheng laughed,

"Don't we also have leaders from the imperial army on Qingfeng Mountain, like Magistrate Hua?"

"As long as we train diligently, we will eventually become a strong army."

"Liangshan gained soldiers,"

Chao Gai shook his head.

"I always felt that they were somewhat different from the government troops."

"Even compared to the elite Imperial Guards of the government army,"

"These soldiers from Liangshan also have many more things..."

"What's extra?"

Liu Tang looked at the Liangshan soldiers not far away, puzzled.

"I think they look no different from the imperial guards..."

Chapter 920 Jie Zhen and Jie Bao

Dengzhou

The weather is gradually turning to autumn.

Prey in the jungle

It's getting less and less common.

But during this period,

For hunters who rely on hunting in the mountains and forests for a living.

But it is also the most important day of the year.

If it cannot be done before the weather fully enters winter,

Store enough prey,

For people who rely on hunting for a living,

This winter,

This is obviously going to be extremely difficult.

at this time,

On the official road near Dengzhou Prefecture

Wearing a hunter's fur coat,

Carrying various kinds of wild game,

Two men who looked very similar.

They are heading towards the city.

These two people clearly use this route frequently.

Seeing them pass by,

An old man, who was lying on a bamboo chair sunbathing, saw the two of them.

He greeted me with a smile.

"You two went to visit relatives in the east again?"

"Um,"

The older man nodded.

"We've hunted some wild game these past two days,"

"I'll go deliver this to the lady who runs the hotel ten miles outside the East Gate!"

The man who spoke

He was at least seven feet tall.

Because of his years of hunting,

It had long since turned a purplish-black color from the sun.

He was tall,

Strong limbs

It is clear that it has great strength.

Beside him,

The younger man,

In terms of height,

It's only slightly lower.

Their body shapes are also quite similar.

I greeted the old man.

After chatting for a few minutes,

The two brothers then continued carrying the wild game.

They continued their journey along the official road.

Looking at their backs,

The old man sighed.

At the tea stall next door

A man who didn't recognize the two brothers.

He asked, puzzled.

Why do you sigh, old man?

"Is there something wrong with those two brothers?"
