After a while, two young men walked into Zhong Shidao's room. Welcome to reading
These two young men were both very strong and tall. They looked a little dull, but their eyes were bright. When looking at people, Master Zhong never looks at faces, but first at the eyes. When he saw it, he felt like
Very satisfied.
"What two good men!" Zhong Shidao said with a smile.
"Wu Jie and Wu Lin meet the commander-in-chief!" the two young men said, already kneeling on the ground.
"Okay, okay! Get up quickly. I've heard about you two for a long time. You two are highly skilled in martial arts and are quite famous in Sichuan and Sichuan! I heard that you have dealt with thieves before. Is this true?" Master Zhong said.
Tao Tao.
"There were dozens of robber thieves who broke into the village. We two brothers knocked dozens of people to the ground with our bare hands. This was nothing. Those robber thieves were nothing to mention." Wu Jie said with a blush.
"You are very humble, which is good! Do you know why I called you here?" Zhong Shidao said with a smile.
"We heard that the commander-in-chief wanted power to deal with the Liangshan rebels, so we called together warriors from all over the country," Wu Jie said.
"That's right! I heard that in addition to your strength, you two are also quite resourceful. Can you tell us how we should deal with Liangshan now?" Master Zhong said.
Wu Jie and Wu Lin fell into deep thought. After a while, Wu Jie said: "Commander, Liangshan has destroyed countless countries over the years. Their military strength is indeed very strong. We cannot compete with them! For this reason, we will retreat first.
One step, focus on defense, wait until later we
Let’s take a moment to figure it out! The commander-in-chief has now withdrawn the Western Army to Tongguan and Chang’an. This is a good idea! But the commander-in-chief, General Zhe, and General Liu are still in the north. Why don’t you let them withdraw too? Don’t you?
Do you think they can stop Liangshan's troops?"
Zhong Shidao's face was a bit ugly. He didn't want to withdraw Zhe Keqiu, Liu Yanqing and others, but he knew that these two people had already defected to Liangshan, and now he couldn't control them at all!
He nodded and said: "I will tell you about them later! What other thoughts do you have about the Battle of Liangshan in the Song Dynasty?"
Wu Jie said: "Commander, there are many fortified cities in Hebei! Especially Damingfu, which is where Beijing is located. Our century-old reinforcements during the Song Dynasty have made Damingfu impossible to break, almost on a par with Taiyuan City! In addition to Damingfu, there are
Xiongzhou, Bazhou and other places are also strong cities! I
We heard that the Forbidden Army has moved towards these cities and is preparing to defend these cities! After the Battle of Fangla, the strength of the Forbidden Army has improved a lot! The fortified city and the strong troops should be able to stop the Liangshan army! However, there is no such thing in the Forbidden Army.
Famous general, this is my only worry."
Zhong Shidao smiled and said: "There is a man named Song Jiang in the Forbidden Army. He is quite resourceful. He is now in charge of the war in Hebei. I think he can guard Daming Mansion and other places."
Wu Jie said: "This is the best! With a strong city, a strong army, and famous generals, Hebei should be said to be impregnable! In addition to Hebei, there is also Shandong. Uncle Zhang from Shandong is diligent in the king's affairs at night, and he should be able to defend Shandong."
An expression of surprise appeared on Zhong Shidao's face, and he said: "You two brothers stayed up all night in Shuchuan to discuss major events in Shaanxi, Hebei, and Shandong. It's really not easy! As the saying goes, scholars don't go out to know the world's affairs, but you two
How can a military commander have such knowledge?"
You must know that the communication in this era is far inferior to that of later generations. Things that are thousands of miles away are already distant matters to ordinary people! Zhong Shidao is an important minister of the country and the northwest economic envoy. Only then is he familiar with the affairs of the north. There is no such thing as
Thinking of the Wu brothers, they know so much.
Wu Jie said: "Commander, everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world! We brothers have sworn to be loyal to the Song Dynasty since we were young, so we are always concerned about the affairs of the world."
Master Zhongdao laughed and said: "Okay! What you said is very good. In this case, you first go to Qinfeng Road to find my second brother Zhongshi Zhong. I have already written to him. When you get there, he will appoint you as
Deputy General Manager of Ma Bujun! You must perform well and stop the Liangshan rebels!"
After Wu Jie and Wu Lin left, Master Zhong still had a smile on his face. Qu Duan walked in and said, "The commander seems very happy today?"
Master Zhong said: "There are so many talented people in our Song Dynasty, how can I not be happy?"
Zhong Shidao feels that the Song Dynasty still has hope to continue! On the one hand, the Song Dynasty has mountains and rivers that are dangerous, which are not so easy to overcome! As the Wu brothers said, there are Tongguan and Chang'an City in Shaanxi, and Damingfu in Hebei
Waiting for the fortified city, further south is the Yellow River. Even if Liangshan crosses the Yellow River, the emperor can still
Head to Jiangnan or Sichuan! There is Xiangyang in the south of the Yangtze River, which was one of the key locations for the Three Kingdoms' campaigns at the end of the Han Dynasty. There is also the Yangtze River! Needless to say, the dangers of Sichuan. Since ancient times, if you want to destroy Jiangnan, you have to conquer Sichuan first, and
With his teachings here, it would be impossible for Liangshan to enter Sichuan!
He felt very optimistic, but he still underestimated Liangshan's strength! Liangshan's strength was far beyond the imagination of these Song generals, including Zhong Shidao, Wu Jie and Wu Lin, who had never seen Liangshan's army with their own eyes.
, in their imagination, the so-called strength is to amplify the Song Army's combat effectiveness by three or four times! However, the Liang Army was more than ten times stronger than the Song Army?

In distant Shandong, Zhang Shuye is also making intense preparations at the moment!
He was a famous loyal minister in the late Northern Song Dynasty, but he was only a civil servant after all, and he was not very good at martial arts.
At this moment, he called several famous generals from Shandong Road to his room, including Dong Ping, Zhang Qing, Qin Ming, Huang Xin and others. These people were all heroes of the Water Margin, but history has changed, and now
They are still staying in Shandong. The two-gun general Dong Ping is the commander of the army and horses of Dongping Prefecture, and he is very skilled in martial arts.
Yujian Zhang Qing is the general of Dongchang Mansion. His flying stones are invincible in the world, including Xu Ning, Yan Shun, Han Tao, Xuanzan, Hu Yanzhuo, Liu Tang, Yang Zhi, Guan Sheng, Dong Ping, Suo Chao, and Lu Zhishen
Countless Liangshan heroes have been beaten by him. Thunderbolt Fire Qin Ming was the commander of the Qingzhou Command Department, and Huang Xin was known as the commander of the Three Mountains.
Although these people don't have much actual combat experience, they were mostly bandits suppressors in the past, but they are highly skilled in martial arts, and now Zhang Shuye can only rely on these people to resist the Liangshan army.
"The traitor Wu Dong is about to ascend the throne, and he will definitely move south by then. Do you have any good ways to deal with him?" Zhang Shuye said.
"Sir, whether our Shandong Road is safe mainly depends on the Hebei area! If Damingfu, Xiongzhou, Bazhou and other places in Hebei can block Liangshan's military front, they will definitely not dare to enter Shandong Road unscrupulously! I heard that the imperial court has already gone there.
Having mobilized 300,000 heavy troops, they will definitely be able to stop the Liangshan rebels," Dong Ping said.
"What you said is correct, but we should also be careful." Zhang Shuye said.
"We in Shandong do not have enough troops. The total number of soldiers and horses in each government is only 50,000 or 60,000. This small number of troops cannot stop the rebel army." Dong Ping shook his head.
"Sir, I have an idea." Thunderbolt Fire Qin Ming suddenly said.
"What method? Just say it." Zhang Shuye said.
"Sir, the Liangshan rebels originated from Liangshanbo. I heard that the rebel's 'overlord' and 'concubine' are still in Liangshanbo. As long as we break Liangshanbo, we can use these people to threaten Wu Dong and prevent him from doing so.
Start a war and even surrender to our Song Dynasty!" Qin Mingdao.
"Liangshan Po is the largest lake in the world. It has vast mist and waves, and Liang Shan's navy is powerful. We basically have no navy. How can we break Liang Shan Po?" Zhang Qing said coldly.
"I do have a way." Qin Ming said.
"Say it quickly!" Zhang Shuye said.
