As soon as Liangshan received the news that officers and soldiers were about to attack, and this time a prince was personally leading the troops, Chao Gai, Song Jiang and others made hurried preparations.
Reinforcing the stronghold walls, building armor, and training soldiers are all proceeding in an orderly manner.
As for how Chao Gai and Song Jiang received the news, it was obviously because some people had never thought of concealing the news, and it could even be said that they deliberately wanted the other party to know.
However, for people like Liangshan, it is not that there has been no good news in recent days.
Lan Yu, a righteous man from Hebei Province, and his brother-in-law were framed for getting into trouble with a local aristocratic family. In a fit of rage, he beheaded the head of the family. After that, after hearing about Liangshanbo's reputation as a man of justice, he came here with his whole family.
Chao Gai and Song Jiang have personally tried every means to test these two people. They are both top-notch experts, especially Chang Yuchun, who is even more brave. Among the entire village, only one person is confident enough to suppress him. he.
Even Nan Xuanfeng, who is quite famous in Yannan Road, thinks that he is not confident enough to defeat Chang Yuchun.
As soon as these two men came, they went down the mountain and killed two more officers and soldiers as certificates of surrender. Chao Gai and Song Jiang immediately ranked them and took the top spot in the village.
After that, the famous evil king Shi Zhixuan and the magician Zhao Deyan also went to Liangshan.
Neither Chao Gai nor Song Jiang thought about rejecting the two men's joining the gang. As the imperial army was about to launch an encirclement and suppression campaign, they also needed the power of these two masters.
This time, although the masters in the imperial army are unlikely to intervene in the battle between the armies, they also need to leave enough means to prevent those masters from assassinating.
Both Chao Gai and Song Jiang already knew that the fourth prince of Da Cang Dynasty was leading the army for the first time, and they even found out that there were many children of Da Cang's top families in the army this time.
Chao Gai and Song Jiang were not completely ignorant of the urinary nature of these people. It was impossible for these people not to have masters around them.
Moreover, although Shi Zhixuan and the others were notorious in the world, they were not tolerated by Bai Dao.
However, in the final analysis, Liangshan is just a group of thieves, and those righteous people in the world also have no good impressions of them.
Even when some disciples of Jianghu sects went down the mountain together to practice, they would occasionally destroy a few small bandit dens when passing by to show their righteousness.
As for such matters, the imperial court will not pay too much attention to them. As long as these people in the world act within the scope defined by the imperial court, the imperial court will not cause trouble for them.
As for some bandits, these self-proclaimed righteous Jianghu young heroes are willing to meddle in their own business, so the court is also happy and relaxed.
Therefore, Liangshan is also not tolerated by the righteous way, and they are not concerned about whether Shi Zhixuan and others who joined Liangshanbo are members of the evil way, as long as they are not spies sent by the imperial court.
As for Shi Zhixuan and the others being members of the imperial court, this is simply nonsense. If they were really members of the imperial court, then those righteous people who claimed to be righteous would not dare to pursue them.
In the final analysis, this world belongs to the major dynasties, and the power of the Jianghu people is simply unable to compete with an army of millions.
As long as evidence is obtained for those who dare to touch the court, in order to maintain its majesty, the court will definitely send an army as soon as possible to level the mountains of these people in the world and let them know how to behave!
It is precisely based on this that many demonic people in the world, when they are being hunted and unable to survive, work as bodyguards for the officials of the court, or they can go to institutions like Liumen. , if you are strong, you can simply join the worship hall and become the bodyguards of the entire major dynasties.
As for these people, as long as they have not violated some of the more serious laws of the major dynasties before, or in other words, as long as the value they have shown can exceed the things they have committed before, the court will generally not pursue them, but choose to happily Accept their surrender.
"Brothers, we have already found out the news. This time the fourth prince brought a total of 3,000 imperial troops from Kyoto, and mobilized 15,000 troops from the local army, assisted by General Hong Tiandu. Counting the days, I'm afraid we will reach Wuliang Mountain in three days!" Zhu Changqing said with some worry.
Zhu Changqing was originally one of the many forces in Liangshan. Since Chao Gai and Song Jiang integrated the various forces in Liangshan, Zhu Changqing took advantage of the situation and joined the new Liangshan. He got a high position in this Juyi Hall.
What Zhu Changqing is responsible for in Liangshan is to manage the hotels in Liangshan and ask the merchants for the information they want to know.
There are more than 20 hotels of various sizes opened up and down Liangshan Mountain, in surrounding counties, and even in the entire Nan'an County. Even under Liangshan Mountain, there was a hotel on each side of the southeast and northwest to help them find out the news.
"Hong Tiandu is coming too!" Many people in the Juyi Hall said in surprise.
Yannan Wild Lion Hong Tiandu, this name may not be considered in the whole world, and no one in the whole world knows it, but in the entire Yannan Road, it is a name that is like thunder. A strong general.
"Brother Xuanfeng, my brother and Hong Tian were both in the Yannan Mansion Army before. I wonder how my brother compares to this Hong Tian!" Wu Yong's eyes moved and he asked Nan Xuanfeng.
"Hong Tiandu, I'm afraid I'm not his opponent yet, but if I join forces with Brother Chang, Hong Tiandu will definitely not be his opponent! What's more, we still have Changkong here, so Hong Tiandu will definitely not be a worry! "Although Nan Xuanfeng was also a little surprised by Hong Tiandu's arrival, he was just surprised.
Changkong is Wu Changkong, who is also Nan Xuanfeng's nephew.
Nan Xuanfeng was right, Hong Tiandu would certainly not be Wu Changkong's opponent. If it’s not happening now, it’s even less likely that it will be in the future.
If we develop according to the normal historical trajectory, Wu Changkong should not show his prominence until eight years later. After that, this person will be regarded as the number one figure in the world.
Even a few years later, when Wang Yu returned to Da Cang as the general who conquered the north, this person caused Wang Yu a lot of trouble.
However, under the instigation of Wang Yu's little butterfly wings, Wu Changkong had already jumped out eight years in advance, and by chance, he also joined Liangshan.
In fact, this time, Da Cang really underestimated Liangshan. Even if Wang Yu hadn't sent Chang Yuchun, Lan Yu and the others, the Fourth Prince's road to suppressing bandits would never have been so smooth.
