A few days later, the water was sank in Liangshan.

Liangshanpo has undergone great changes today than it was a year ago. It has changed from an ordinary village where Chao Gai and others replaced Wang Lun, a white-clad scholar, to a large village with dozens of leaders and a large number of three or four thousand. Not to mention in Shandong, even in the entire Song Dynasty, there are only a few unofficial and powerful armed groups that can have such a large scale.

Most of the credits are due to Song Jiang and Song Gongming, who was rescued by Chao Gai and others at the beginning of this year. Compared to others, Song Jiang, who was born in a yamen, knows better how to run a good mountain village. At the same time, relying on his reputation to spread the world, he has attracted countless heroes to join Liangshanpo. However, in more than half a year, more than a dozen heroes from the world have come here, which has attracted more desperate local people to go to the mountain village to seek shelter.

Song Jiang's contribution to Liangshanbo is not only to attract more talents, but also to his own business strategies to make the entire copycat more systematic. Although the time has not been fully accomplished, some things have already begun to appear. For example, there are special naval soldiers and horses in the eight hundred miles of water. For example, although it is not easy to raise horses on the mountain, Song Jiang still deliberately looted or spent a lot of money to get two or three hundred horses from other places, and let his brothers who are good at horse fighting start to train the cavalry team.

For example, in addition to Liangshan’s village, they also specially sent a lot of people to separate important roads outside the mountain, either opening taverns or pretending to be businessmen. Anyway, they can let the people in the village know everything that is happening outside at the first time, so as to be prepared for any eventuality...

In addition to these arrangements of all sizes, Song Jiang also pays special attention to the training of his opponents. Although it is impossible to practice daily like Sun Tu in Qingzhou, every three or five days, thousands of people will conduct large-scale training on the huge martial arts field in the copycat, thereby maintaining and continuously improving Liangshanbo's combat effectiveness.

If Chao Gai and the others were just a group of bandit leaders who were small-scale and had little money but had no ambitions, then Song Jiang really treated Liangshanbo as an armed group independent of the government. It was precisely because of his careful cultivation that Liangshanbo is now more than one or two times stronger than before. The fierce murderous aura brought by the thousands of exercises alone is enough to make outsiders feel heartbroken.

Han Benshan and Qi Liu came to Liangshanpo in such an environment. When they saw the roars that were shaking in the school grounds, even Han Benshan felt a little nervous. No wonder the name of Liangshanpo is getting bigger and bigger now. Such an elite army is not too difficult to attack a state prefecture.

As for Qi Liu, his face turned pale. It was not until then that he realized that what his brothers in Erlong Mountain thought was really a bit like watching the sky. The combat power of Erlong Mountain was completely incomparable to these Liangshan soldiers and horses. As for the terrain that Erlong Mountain was proud of, it was even less than the eight hundred miles of water pools surrounding Liangshan.

With awe in his heart, when Qi Liu entered the Juyi Hall and met Chao Gai and Song Jiang and other leaders of Liangshan, he seemed particularly polite. When he performed the ceremony, his waist was bent much lower than usual.

After hearing their own identity reports, Chao Gai laughed and said, "Actually, I have heard of the reputation of Erlongshan and Dengzhaizhu for a long time. Why did he remember to send someone to Liangshan today? But is there anything I need to help from my brothers in the village?"

Seeing that he was heading straight to the point so quickly, Song Jiang and Wu Yong, dressed as a scholar, frowned slightly. It was really hard for the other party to ask for each other, and it was really hard for him to refuse. But Chao Gai was the leader of the mountain village after all, and he was unable to repent after he had already said it. Song Jiang could only smile and ask for a supplement: "But we, Suzhi Erlong Mountain, are also strong and powerful, and we should not encounter too much trouble, right?"

"I'm going to make a joke to all the leaders. This time I came here to ask the heroes of Liangshan to save me Erlong Mountain. In a short time, the Qingzhou official army will have to attack the mountain with all their might, and I'm afraid I may not be able to defend myself when I encountered any changes in Erlong Mountain." Qi Liu didn't care about his own face at this time, and he told the truth, and said with a begging look: "I hope all the leaders can help me because I am all people in the green forest." As he said that, he even bowed to the people around him.

"Is this... Erlong Mountain going to such an unfavorable situation? What's going on? Please tell me in detail." Wu Yong also spoke immediately.

This time, the answer was Han Benshan. He was not from Erlong Mountain, so he didn't have much concern this time, and he told the Qingzhou army that even broke the Peach Blossoms, Baihu Mountains, and the defeated Erlong Mountains.

After saying this, everyone in the hall changed color. In fact, thanks to the information from the contact points outside the village, they still heard about what happened in Qingzhou, but what they knew was not so detailed. It was the first time that this Qingzhou army that suddenly rose up was so powerful that it could break two mountains and defeat one mountain in just one month, and even flatten Erlong Mountain. This even made people feel a little unreal, and it felt a little exaggerated.

After Song Jiang heard that the Kong brothers in Baihu Mountain were actually killed by Sun Tu, his face became even more gloomy. However, he didn't say much at that time. However, Wu Yong had already seen it in his eyes and asked casually: "Since the Qingzhou official army is so powerful, Erlong Mountain is no longer guarded, why don't you want to leave there?"

"This... it's not because our village leader is reluctant to let go of the foundation of the village. It's because it's more dangerous to go down the mountain than to defend it on the mountain. In Dongshikun, we had the advantage of the troops and ambushed again, but we were easily defeated by the government army. The matter of going down the mountain was leaked. The government army took the opportunity to chase and kill it, but we were afraid that we would die without a burial place. Of course, if the leaders of Liangshan could lead the army to protect us, our Erlongshan troops would definitely defect to this place and obey the orders of King Chao and Chief Song." Qi Liu hurriedly explained.

"This matter is very important, and we are fighting head-on with the government army. We also asked our troops to go to Qingzhou on an expedition. We can't give you a clear answer at once. Otherwise, we will go to the guest room to rest for one night, and we will make a decision after two days?" Because we were afraid that Chao Gai would agree to this matter because of his loyalty, Wu Yong did not care about the difference between superiors and inferiors and hurriedly said.

Song Jiang also understood and said, "Yes, we can't handle this kind of thing casually. If we really want to send troops, we have to be prepared. Please relax and keep it in our village for a few days."

Qi Liu was about to say something, but Han Benshan robbed him first: "Since that's the case, I should obey my orders. However, before that, I still have a few heartfelt words to say that once Erlong Mountain is really lost, Liangshanbo will not have a good life. Perhaps the Qingzhou official army cannot threaten Liangshanbo, but in this way, the official army of other prefectures in Shandong will have to give the court an explanation. They can't let Qingzhou be beautiful in the past. By then, even if they know that they can't break the village, the official army will use troops to Liangshanbo. This is not to say that they are cold in their mouths, but helping others is also helping themselves. I hope all leaders can think twice."

Qi Liu couldn't tell such a lot of truths, but he just begged a few times as a fellow Green Forest again, and then left the Juyi Hall with Han Benshan.

It was not until the two of them left that some other leaders spoke one after another. Some were ready to think that this was a good opportunity to exert the power of Liangshan, and those who advocated sending troops, and some felt that they should stay in the counterfeit village without taking risks. Anyway, they all made sense, and in the end everyone turned their attention to Song Jiang and the other two.

"Brother, as far as I know, the Kong brothers in Baihu Mountain are the two apprentices you accepted before?" Wu Yong said a topic that made everyone stunned.

Song Jiang sighed: "Yes, I did teach them some skills at the beginning. However, the success they have today is that they have other people teaching skills, which is not my achievement. Of course, they have a good relationship with me, and they have had letters before. The two brothers even mentioned when they would come to join me in Liangshan."

"Damn it, the bandits in Qingzhou actually dared to kill their brother's disciples. That is our enemy. We should send troops to capture Qingzhou City and kill them to avenge the two Kong brothers!" Li Kui jumped out first and shouted, and then some people who were close to Song Jiang and had a bad temper said similar words.

Seeing this, Song Jiang hurriedly dissuaded: "Brothers, Song Jiang is grateful for his kindness, but public is public and private is private. Never let all brothers take big risks just because of Song Jiang's personal grudge."

At this time, Chao Gai also spoke: "In fact, it's not just for your personal grudge from Brother Song. What Brother Han said is reasonable. If we sit down and watch Erlong Mountain be pacified by the Qingzhou official army, the consequences are hard to say. In addition, since Brother Song went up the mountain, my Liangshan soldiers have been strong and my life is booming. It's time to make a career and let the heroes of the world see it."

Song Jiang still frowned slightly as if he was worried. Wu Yong also said, "What the King of Heaven said is not right, but it should not be too arrogant to send troops to rescue Erlongshan. Otherwise, if the Song Dynasty court is really annoyed, our situation will be worrying. Fortunately, Han Benshan said before that he had already burned Qingzhou official warehouse early in the morning, and they would inevitably have shortage of food. As long as we can seize this flaw and suddenly attack the Qingzhou army when the Qingzhou army was out of food and defeated them, we can get the greatest benefit at the smallest price. So what we have to do next is to send more people to Qingzhou area to investigate the news, wait for the two sides to start a war, then turn it into pieces and sneak into Qingzhou territory, and give the official army a headache. I wonder if the two brothers think this plan is feasible?"

Chao Gai was still frowning, but Song Jiang had already raised his hands and smiled: "The military advisor is worthy of being called Zhiduoxing. Such a plan is indeed the most appropriate. If the truth cannot be done, we still have a chance to escape unstoppable."

Seeing that even Song Jiang said this, Chao Gai did not insist any more, but he always felt that doing so was not open enough and was not done by a hero.
