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

"A showdown at Qingfeng Mountain is only a matter of time."

"I just don't know when it will be."

"In my opinion, it's most likely to happen next spring,"

Liu Huiniang analyzed,

"At that time, on the other side of the Bianliang court,"

"They will definitely raise a large army again to wipe out Liangshan,"

"If Liangshan wins again, its prestige in Shandong will reach new heights,"

"People will change their minds then,"

"I'm afraid that then no one will care about the imperial court anymore."

"Therefore, who would have thought of summoning Song Jiang?"

"I'll definitely want to be there at that time,"

"To assist the imperial court in suppressing Liangshan,"

"In this way, after they have rendered meritorious service,"

"It would be only right for the imperial court to grant them amnesty again."

"actually....."

Liu Huiniang glanced at Zhao Yuan cautiously.

Then, with a look of helplessness, he said...

"That's what my father and the others were planning too."

"what?"

Chen Liqing looked completely surprised.

"My younger brother and Uncle Liu, they actually... too..."

"Although he was framed by treacherous officials of the court,"

Liu Huiniang said with a helpless expression,

"But my father and the others still harbor illusions about the imperial court,"

"They were all forced into banditry by the imperial court."

"He's still thinking about serving that tyrannical emperor every day!"

Seeing Liu Huiniang and Chen Liqing,

Both women were visibly downcast.

Zhao Yuan quickly interrupted,

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore,"

"Since this Dengyun Mountain stronghold has already been burned down,"

"Let's go down the mountain."

.....

After descending from Dengyun Mountain,

Zhao Yuan and his men followed the official road,

They walked towards Maojiazhuang.

Mao Taigong and his son Mao Zhongyi have been killed by Liangshan.

Even Mao Taigong's son-in-law, Wang Zheng, who served as a clerk in Dengzhou Prefecture,

He was also killed by Shi Xiu and others.

Zhao Yuan and his group went to Maojiazhuang.

I just wanted to see.

Who else?

They dared to attack the land in Maojiazhuang that had already been distributed to the villagers and tenants.

just,

Zhao Yuan and his group made another wasted trip.

That old man Mao's family owned four or five thousand acres of fertile land.

After the people of Maojiazhuang were assigned to Liangshan,

Although many people are envious.

But because of what happened before,

Liangshan killed the clerk of Dengzhou.

They also displayed his head to the public.

This had already instilled fear in the officials and wealthy families of Dengzhou.

Although this time,

The Dengzhou navy,

After stroking the tiger's whiskers at Liangshan,

And they are still safe and sound.

But that was because the Dengzhou navy had seagoing vessels.

It can hide in the vast ocean.

And these officials and gentry

If you offend Liangshan,

Even if he could escape by boat at sea...

However, their family business was still on land.

If it is destroyed by Liangshan,

Wouldn't that be like trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead?

Therefore,

Even if they were envious of those fertile fields,

These officials and wealthy gentry

I could only suppress my itch.

I dare not reach out!

Zhao Yuan,

Naturally, I am very satisfied.

Seeing the people of Maojiazhuang,

Every family was overjoyed.

A joyful expression,

Zhao Yuan and the others did not disturb them.

After leaving Maojia Village,

They headed straight for the salt village by the sea.

.....

Liangshan Salt Village

It took more than ten days.

More than a thousand Liangshan soldiers,

Most of them are broken down into smaller parts.

Disguised as merchants and travelers, they returned to the salt village.

And after that,

Not long after,

Then a scout from Liangshan reported to Zhao Yuan, who was hiding in the salt camp.

They said they saw several huge ships on the sea.

"It seems that the Dengzhou navy has returned!"

Zhao Yuan sneered.

"This time, we must settle this with them properly."

"This salt village is the site of a blood feud!"

"By the way, what about the Ruan brothers?"

"is there any news?"

In order not to let the Dengzhou navy escape,

Zhao Yuan went specifically to deliver a message to the Ruan brothers.

Tell them to bring their warships to the shore.

Encirclement and suppression of Dengzhou Water Village...

Chapter 971 Each Other's Thoughts

"not yet,"

The scout shook his head.

"But considering the time,"

"Chief Ruan and the others should be arriving soon."

"Keep a close watch on the northern coast,"

Zhao Yuan gave the order in a deep voice.

"Once we see the Ruan brothers' ship..."

"I will return immediately to report!"

"Yes!"

The scout quickly accepted the order and left.

Zhao Yuan here,

Turn your head,

He looked at the group of Liangshan soldiers who were training in the salt village.

The Dengzhou navy has returned to its naval base.

Now we just wait for Liangshan's navy to arrive.

On Zhao Yuan's side,

Then we can attack the government troops' water fortress!

Although the government troops...

There were nearly three thousand naval troops.

As for Zhao Yuan...

In addition to the soldiers originally stationed in the salt village.
