Everyone squeezed through the Wan surname trading temple fair in front of the Daxiangguo Temple, and when they arrived at the meeting place arranged by Fang La, they saw Fang La, Fang Jie and Fang Baihua personally greeting them at the door.
When Fang La saw Chao Yong following a tall and handsome man, he also knew that Chao Gai was coming, so he hurried forward to welcome everyone into the house.
The large wing room has been neatly tidied up, with only some chairs placed on the four sides, and there are already five or six people sitting on the west and north sides.
Chao Gai and others sat in the east, while Fang La and others sat in the south. Apparently, the seats were arranged according to the positions of the four soldiers and horses, which also saved some disputes.
The Liangshan people came the most, but there were not enough chairs. In the end, Chao Gai, Wu Yong, and Chao Yong had to sit down, while the others stood behind to protect them.
A monk in the west touched his bald head and said angrily: "Why don't you come here if you're afraid of death? Bringing so many people here shows that there are many people in Liangshan?"
After Wu Song heard this, he couldn't help but cursed: "Where does the bald donkey come from and speaks rudely?"
The monk stood up, pointed his iron dragon stick at Wu Song, and cursed: "How dare the bird-headed monk scold the monk?"
Wu Song did not show any weakness, he pulled out his sword and said: "Wu Song will not kill nameless ghosts with his sword, so come and give me your name. Today Wu Song will let you know my reputation as a hero in Liangshan."
When the monk heard that it was Wu Song, not only was he not timid, but he grinned widely. The scar on his head turned a little red due to excitement. He smiled and said: "I'm a poor monk. I've heard that Wu Song is powerful in fighting tigers. Today is the perfect day."
Ask for advice."
When Fang La saw that the two of them were about to fight, he hurriedly said: "We are all righteous men in the world, and we came here specifically to overthrow the imperial court. How can internal strife damage the harmony?"
Wu Yong also shook his feather fan and said: "Wu Song retreats, don't let the heroes of Huaixi laugh. I wonder who is Wang Qing?"
When Chao Yong heard this, he couldn't help but secretly praise that Wu Yong was calm and dangerous enough. Unlike Wu Song, who would draw his sword when provoked, he had already told everyone that Wang Qing and Tian Hu would not come.
Yes, this is their Achilles heel.
Sure enough, Jie Chi, who had been lively and energetic before, lost his confidence when he heard this. He sat down angrily, his face flushed and bloated, and he stopped talking.
.. "" A gloomy-faced man next to him said: "We have occupied two prefectures and more than a dozen counties. We have countless things waiting for my king to deal with every day. How can we have time to come to Tokyo?
.It’s not like you just guarding a hilltop and there’s not much to do.”
After hearing this, the people in the south of the Yangtze River couldn't help but darken their faces. They obviously didn't take the Tokyo Alliance matter as a big deal, nor did they take their leader seriously. However, because of the strict rules of Manichaeism, Fang La didn't say anything.
They didn't dare to open their mouths.
Ruan Xiaoqi was quick-tongued and shouted: "You dare to boast even after occupying two prefecture cities. We defeated Dongping Prefecture, Dongchang Prefecture, and Gaotang Prefecture, and also defeated seven or eight officers and soldiers. People like you
, I don’t know how many people I killed.”
When the man heard that Ruan Xiaoqi looked down on him, he stood up and said: "If you are a good man, let's compete with me. Let's see who can kill whom."
Seeing this, Fang La hurriedly smiled and said: "Okay, okay. We are all heroes who came to the alliance this time, so let's not argue about who is superior and who is inferior. After everyone raises an army to overthrow the Zhao and Song Dynasty, let's see who grabs it.
There are many cities in the city, so the superiors and inferiors will be distinguished."
"Chao Clan's Water Margin Chapter 182: The Four Kings Meeting" As soon as he finished speaking, someone on Tian Hu's side nodded and said: "Master Fang is right. It's just that the uprising needs to be considered in the long run. Although the Zhao and Song Dynasty court
Decaying, but after all, it has been more than a hundred years since the founding of the country, and the centipede is dead but not stiff. We still need to recharge our batteries and wait for action, lest we be wiped out by the Zhao and Song Dynasties."
When Lou Minzhong heard this, he laughed and said: "That's wrong. Now the court is robbing but doesn't know how to stop it, the people are trapped but they don't know how to save them, and the officials are agitated but don't know how to restrain them. What's so scary about this kind of court? Although the Zhao and Song Dynasties were founded more than a hundred years ago,
, but the vitality of the Song Dynasty has long been exhausted. Now the building is about to collapse, the emperor is fatuous, and uses eunuchs and villains. The court is full of Liang Shicheng, Tong Guan, Cai Jing, Wang Fu, Gao Qiu, Zhu Meng and others, all jealous of the virtuous.
Yes, the civil servants are exploiting the people, and the generals are greedy for free pay. After you plundered the state capital, did the imperial army continue to conquer it? No, the people in the court are agitated and the ministers are blindly whitewashing the peace, and they will definitely not report the situation in the world to them.
Even if one or two groups of soldiers and horses occasionally attack, they are just soldiers and horses that have not been trained for a long time. How can they stop the heroes of the world?"
Jie Chi rubbed his bald head and said, "You're right. There was a severe drought in Huaixi last year, and refugees were everywhere. Instead of providing food relief, those state officials killed good people and took credit for their merits, forcing many refugees to vote for us. What else does a court like this have?
scary?"
"Chao's Water Margin" Fang La nodded and said, "That's right. Not to mention that if our four families raise an army together, the court will definitely be exhausted. Even if there are some elite soldiers and horses, it is not a big worry to divide them into four parts."
The man then said: "Having said that, it's just that Hedong is poor. We conquered several cities, but we didn't get much food, and we couldn't raise many soldiers and horses. My king is not like Leader Fang, who has several Manichaean sects."
Hundreds of years of accumulation of wealth. There are no natural disasters in Hedong like Huaixi, and it is difficult to coerce the people. We can only rely on the mountains in Hedong and the dangerous terrain to deal with the officers and soldiers. But if we want to raise the flag of righteousness and overthrow the imperial court, it is indeed
It’s because we have a lot of ambition but not enough strength. It’s really the Master Fang who has called us, so we dare not not come.”
Fang La naturally did not really think that he could command the world, and said with a smile: "Who doesn't know that Tian Hu in Hedong has many generals and generals, attacking cities and territories everywhere. Brother Tian Bao, please don't be humble."
When Chao Yong heard this, he realized that this person was Tian Bao, Tian Hu's second brother.
Tian Bao shook his head and said: "It's not that my brother has the ambition of others and destroyed my prestige. The situation is actually like this. Hedong has always been poor, and it is extremely difficult to raise military pay. If Leader Fang can provide some money and food, when will you start the army?" Entertainment
"Show", we brothers will rise up when the time comes."
When Deng Yuanjue heard this, he couldn't help but said: "You have conquered the whole city, but why do you want us to pay for it?"
Tian Bao shook his head and said: "Hedong is poor, what use do we need those cities? I thought you Manichaeans were going to raise troops, and our brothers responded in Hedong to contain the imperial troops for you. In this case, we will not fight
Those ruined cities will not be worth the loss if they lose their troops."
At this time, everyone also saw that Tian Bao was here to ask for money and food from Fang La, and they couldn't help but look at each other.
Hearing this, Deng Yuanjue said in a rough voice: "If we don't fight, we can still occupy the southeast. When we go north, the east of the river will still be unoccupied land, and we can just go and occupy it."
Tian Bao stood up, cupped his hands with Fang La and said, "Since you Manichaeans are so powerful, there is no need for us brothers. Take your leave."
Seeing this, Fang La hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, brothers Tian Bao, please sit down. Although the Zhao and Song Dynasties are corrupt, they cannot be overthrown by just one family. You and I need to work together." (To be continued.)
