As soon as these words came out, the bandits and bandits who had been enthusiastically discussing how to divide and occupy Zhenshui Villa immediately stopped.
Everyone looked at Song Jiang with wide eyes.
A dark color flashed in Wu Yong's eyes, and he said with a smile: "Since brother Gongming has already considered this matter, it means he must have a high opinion. Why don't we tell you and share it with everyone, is this a blessing or a curse?"
Although Song Jiang had drafted it countless times in his mind, he still felt a little hesitant to say it again in front of so many people.
After all, the group of people in front of them had basically been persecuted by the government, and they could be said to hate the Song Dynasty court to the core.
Moreover, they are all disobedient people. It is very difficult for them to submit to the imperial court like Song Jiang, expand the territory for the Song Dynasty, and keep their families safe.
So after careful consideration, Song Jiang spoke up.
"This time the imperial court led an army of 100,000 to besiege Zhenshui Villa. It can be said that Wu Zhi is in doom."
"But aren't you curious? There are only a few thousand people in Zhenshui Villa who can pick up weapons to fight against the officers and soldiers. The rest are the old, the weak, the sick and the young."
"Although Tong Guan is an eunuch, he is quite capable in marching and fighting. With his ability, there is no need to lead an army of 100,000 to attack Zhenshui Villa. This is a typical example of fighting flies as tigers. Obviously, there are other ways to do this!"
The people waiting beside me listened very carefully.
Song Jiang then briefly told everyone how much silver it would cost to employ 100,000 people, and how much rear equipment would be needed.
Although an army of 100,000 people is marching in their own country, the number of troops that must be mobilized front and back is at least more than 200,000!
Although it is not too far from Tokyo City to Liangshan, there are many things to prepare for the departure of the army. And it is impossible for 100,000 troops to advance at the same time. At most, the forward army will arrive first, with 30,000 or 20,000 people arriving first.
The troops behind will be divided into two groups, or even three groups, and arrive one after another. The total time before and after this will take at least more than half a month, or even longer.
After Song Jiang explained the information that no one else knew one by one, he came to a conclusion: "In my opinion, the emperor sent Tong Guan to lead an army of 100,000 to attack Shandong this time, which is a bit drunken."
Wu Yong nodded slightly after hearing this.
"Brother Gongming is right. Although there is a gap between the emperor and Wu Zhi, there is no need to go to such great lengths just to deal with a small Zhenshui Villa."
"So, as Brother Gongming said, they might also be coming for us this time."
"Nowadays, the imperial court is corrupt and the Song Dynasty is suffering from internal and external troubles. The imperial court is also interested in joining forces with the Jin Kingdom to attack the Liao Kingdom. It is natural that the bandits in some troubled areas within the Song Dynasty must be cleared out first."
"Our territory in Shandong is close to the Liao Kingdom in the north. If the government wants to join forces with the Jin Kingdom, our group of people will be the first to be dealt with."
"So I agree with Brother Gongming. We must not let down our guard this time. If the imperial court really intends to deal with us, it must find a way to leave a way out."
Nowadays, although Chao Gai and Song Jiang say that they have strong troops and strong horses, it is still not enough to face an army of 100,000.
In particular, they do not have a favorable geographical location like Liangshan Shuipu, so it is very difficult to resist the officers and soldiers on Taohua Mountain alone.
Chao Gai, the King of Pagoda, kept looking at Song Jiang. He felt that Song Jiang still had something to say, so he asked: "Brother Song Jiang, I think you have something to say. We are all brothers. If you have something to say, let's say it together."
Discussion is much better than holding back what you want alone."
When Chao Gai said this, Song Jiang immediately hit the snake and climbed up along the stick.
"Since Brother Chao Gai said this, I will tell you my humble opinion, and everyone can just take it as a joke."
