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

"The war hasn't started yet?"

Wang Qing gave a wry smile.

“Our village has already lost a great general,”

"More than three thousand soldiers have been lost,"

"Has the war not started yet?"

"Furthermore, do you think I would willingly beg for mercy from Liangshan in such a humiliating way?"

"If I had no other choice, I would have fought Liangshan to the death!"

"But what happens after that?"

"We were utterly defeated by Liangshan and had to retreat."

"Even if I return to Huaixi, I'm afraid I won't have a place to stay!"

"But if the chieftain does this, it will damage his prestige..."

Pan Zhong said with concern,

"Among the bandits of Huaixi, there were already quite a few who did not truly believe in their chieftain,"

"Now the chieftain has submitted to Liangshan,"

"If they find out, I'm afraid they'll cause trouble again..."

Chapter 1172 The Dog in the Water

"As long as we can bring these five thousand henchmen back,"

Wang Qing said in a harsh voice.

"I'm not afraid of them causing trouble!"

"Anyone who dares to show their face will be killed on the spot!"

"And without these five thousand men,"

"Do you think they won't cause trouble?"

"By then, I won't have anyone left."

"How can I subdue them?"

"this....."

Although Mi Sheng, Feng Tai, and Pan Zhong were all hot-tempered,

But those who can become leaders,

They're not fools, of course.

You can understand the reasoning behind it.

It's one thing to understand, but another...

Their hearts were still filled with resentment.

"alright,"

Wang Qing forced a smile.

"It's just a temporary concession to Liangshan,"

"What's that?"

"Back then, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu were vying for the throne."

"Didn't he initially submit to Xiang Yu in every way?"

"But what happens in the end?"

"Then who gained the world?"

"It's Liu Bang!"

"Although we have yielded to Liangshan today,"

"But that doesn't mean we'll always have to submit to Liangshan!"

"The strategist and I have already discussed it,"

"Wait until next spring when the flowers bloom,"

"The strategist will then head north to the Hebei border,"

"Find the Liao people to buy horses!"

"Once Huaixi has its own cavalry,"

"Now that this has come to this, we will take it back from Liangshan sooner or later!"

.....

Ten days later,

Yuan Lang from Huaixi led five hundred henchmen.

Take a boat from Qinghe

They returned to Xuzhou.

He came back with her.

There were also jewels worth 220,000 strings of cash from Huaixi.

It was Li who made the trip again.

They handed over all the jewels to Liangshan.

Zhao Yuan did not make things difficult for Wang Qing any further.

They directly delivered the 50,000 catties of pig iron that had been agreed upon by both parties.

All of them were given to Huaixi!

"By the way, Chief Zhao,"

Li Zhu suddenly said,

"When your forces breached our camp in Huaixi before,"

"There should be some captured soldiers, right?"

"And what about the boatmen on our Huaixi boats?"

"I wonder if your village can handle these people..."

"Mr. Li, you people from Huaixi, please don't push your luck."

Zhu Wu said expressionlessly,

"This time, it was you Huaixi who offended our Liangshan,"

"Our chieftain is magnanimous,"

"I have no intention of pursuing this matter any further!"

"You Huaixi still want our prisoners of war,"

"Isn't this a bit too much?"

"I know this isn't a good idea,"

Li Zhu was furious.

But he could only manage a forced smile.

"But these soldiers are crucial to our Huaixi region,"

"I wonder if Chief Zhao is magnanimous?"

“I’m sorry, Mr. Li,”

Zhao Yuan shook his head directly.

"We Liangshan have our own rules."

"Some things are not something I can decide with a single word."

"According to the military regulations of Liangshan, captured enemy soldiers,"

"They all had to do hard labor on Liangshan to atone for their mistakes."

"The destinations of these people have already been decided on Liangshan,"

"After Mr. Li returns, he should still try to persuade your chieftain,"

"Don't even think about sending these people back!"

".....yes."

Li Zhu sighed.

He cupped his hands in greeting.

He turned and said goodbye before leaving.

"Is Wang Qing really dreaming?"

Luan Tingyu chuckled.

"All the soldiers have already been captured by our Liangshan,"

"They actually want to take it back?"

"Whether there are dates or not, you still have to shoot three times."

Zhu Wu laughed,

"However, this time, we captured more than two thousand soldiers from Huaixi,"

"There are still more than two hundred boatmen,"

“These people do need to be accommodated.”

Captured soldiers from Huaixi

It's certainly not as Zhao Yuan said before.

Take them all to Liangshan to do hard labor!

These Huaixi lackeys

They were all, after all, Wang Qing's elite troops.

Although it cannot compare to the soldiers of Liangshan.

But they are still far stronger than ordinary bandits.

Leave these lackeys behind.

Train well.

To win their loyalty to Liangshan,

When Liangshan sends troops to Huaixi in the future,

These locals,

He was the vanguard of Liangshan!

As for the two hundred or so boatmen...

That would be even easier.

They were directly transferred to the command of Ruan Xiaoer and Zhang Shun.

Even if they can't become part of Liangshan's navy,

Work as a boatman for merchant ships and passenger ships in the marsh.

That's more than enough!
