A huge cone-shaped Jingguan was built, which looked like a bare earth mountain from a distance, and inside there were more than 20,000 corpses of Liao soldiers.
After the Jingguan was built, Sun Lei specially asked Gongsun Sheng to set up an altar on the Jingguan.
"Brother, what are you doing?"
Lu Zhishen looked at Sun Lei in confusion. Could it be that he still wanted to be saved by those Liao people?
"This is a great victory. Of course I have to burn my watch to offer sacrifices to heaven and comfort the souls of those who died tragically under the iron heel of the Liao people!"
Sun Lei said with a smile, if it was salvation, then the altar should be placed in front of Jingguan, but now the altar is above Jingguan, suppressing it.
"Mr. Zong, I heard that you have good literary talent. How about I ask you to ghostwrite this memorial?"
Sun Lei looked at Zong Ze and smiled.
"good!"
Zongze didn't refuse even after hearing this. He was so excited now that he wanted to recite poems and compose poems, so he immediately wrote the memorial form.
Sun Lei took the sacrifice table and performed well before ending the sacrifice.
The fact that the Liangshan army defeated the Liao army soon spread throughout the world. Everyone was dumbfounded and couldn't believe that Liangshanbo's group of grass bandits could defeat the invincible Liao army.
The Liao Kingdom was a high mountain that had held down the Song Dynasty for hundreds of years. Now it was overturned by a group of grass bandits. How could the government and the public accept this?
"What are you talking about? The grass bandits gave me a box of salted fish! Are you mocking me?"
Zhao Ji looked at the box of salted fish in front of him and said angrily. This box was exactly the salted fish that Li Gang brought back. Li Gang had originally suppressed it, but Gao Qiu suddenly took it out. This made Zhao Ji furious. How dare a thief do this? Ridicule, how could he bear it.
"Your Majesty, there is a reason why Sun Lei is like this. The royal wine given to Liangshan by Your Majesty was tampered with. Liangshan is in a remote location and there is nothing in the water except fresh fish. That's why this happened."
Li Gang quickly left work to explain.
"Li Gang, how else do you need to explain this thing? A box of salted fish is just a mockery of Your Majesty. How can we let such a traitor go!"
Gao Qiu immediately spoke.
"Your Majesty, they are a group of mountain bandits who do not know the general situation. Your Majesty is magnanimous and there is no need to argue with them. Now these Liangshan bandits are fighting against the Liao Kingdom and have won a great victory. This shows their loyalty and patriotism. Your Majesty should win over them and think that the Great Song Dynasty will be a powerful force. !”
Zhao Ding, the admonishing doctor, said that he advocated recruiting peace. They all knew about the annihilation of the Liao army of 30,000 in Liangshan. If this kind of fighting force could be recruited, wouldn't it be just around the corner to recapture Yanyun?
Zhao Ji was originally full of murderous intentions towards Sun Lei and other Liangshan bandits, but Sun Lei led an army to annihilate 30,000 Liao troops, which made him somewhat hesitant. Recovering Yanyun was a century-old dream of the Song Dynasty. In the past few decades, the Northern Song Dynasty had rarely done anything to the Liao Kingdom. This record should be Sun Lei's most brilliant in this wave, which made him seriously consider recruitment.
"Privy Tong, what do you think?"
Zhao Ji looked at Tong Guan and asked.
"Your Majesty, the bandits are just a fluke. Everyone in the court knows how powerful the Liao army is. Can a group of bandits really defeat the Liao army?"
Tong Guan said.
These words made everyone in the court frown. Only Tong Guan in the court had actually fought against the Liao Kingdom. The rest of them had never even seen the Liao Kingdom's army. How could they know the reality of the Liao Kingdom?
There was silence in the court hall, and all the officials didn't know how to speak. Although everyone in Liangshan had achieved a great victory, they seemed to have nothing to do with the Song Dynasty. Even speaking for Liangshan was in vain!
"Your Majesty, Hebei Tianhu has now captured Weisheng, Fenyang, Zhaode, Jinning, and Gaizhou, a total of 56 counties in five states, and has more than 500,000 troops claiming the title of King of Jin.
"Wang Qing of Huaixi conquered Nanfeng, Jingnan, Shannan, Yun'an, Ande, Dongchuan, Wanzhou, and Xijing. He had 86 counties in eight states and more than 300,000 troops. He named himself King of Chu. "
"La Jiangnan captured Shezhou, Muzhou, Hangzhou, Suzhou, Changzhou, Huzhou, Xuanzhou and Runzhou, eight states and fifty-two counties, with more than 300,000 troops."
"Sun Lei from Liangshan attacked Jizhou, Dongping Prefecture, Yanzhou, Tai'an Prefecture, and Cangzhou. He attacked 41 counties in five states and had more than 100,000 mercenaries."
"Thieves and bandits everywhere are rebelling. If they are not wiped out, how can they enhance the prestige of the Song Dynasty?"
Tong Guan looked at Zhao Ji and said, "The four bandits in the world are rebelling. If the emperor doesn't respond at this time, where will the royal family's face be put?"
Zhao Ji's face turned ferocious after hearing this. Tong Guan's words completely angered him. Although he didn't want to be an emperor, he was the emperor of Zhao Song after all and needed to maintain the majesty of the Zhao Song Dynasty.
"Send me the order to wipe out the bandits from all directions and promote the prestige of the Song Dynasty!"
Zhao Ji looked at the officials and ordered.
Seeing the emperor's anger, Li Gang, Su Taiwei, and Zhao Ding no longer dared to speak, and could only shake their heads helplessly.
As soon as Gao Qiu heard that he was overjoyed, they wanted to send troops to sweep across Liangshanbo to avenge the bloodshed. However, there were always people in the court who advocated Zhao'an, which annoyed him. Now that the emperor had made up his mind, this saved him a lot of effort.
"More schoolboys Privy Council!"
Gao Qiu watched Tong Guan clasping his fists and said.
"Captain Gao, I'm not doing this for you. You have a grudge against Liangshan. I hope you can take revenge as soon as possible and don't disappoint His Majesty!"
Tong Guan looked at Gao Qiu and said, he has mobilized all the troops and horses Gao Qiu wanted. Now he has to do his own thing, and he hopes Gao Qiu will also shoulder his responsibility.
"Don't worry, Privy Tong, I'm already building warships. Fifteen thousand elite navy troops are enough to level the Liangshan Mountains."
Gao Qiu said with a proud look on his face.
"I hope everything goes well for Captain Gao."
Tong Guan smiled and said, "He doesn't like Gao Qiu. He has seen too many people like Gao Qiu who have never been involved in war or led troops in battle. He doesn't like this kind of person at all." Understand what war is.
"Thank you very much, Tong Xiang for your kind words!"
Gao Qiu laughed and said.
Gao Qiu returned to the Taiwei Mansion and immediately mobilized his troops. He wanted to take advantage of Sun Lei's army in the north to defeat Liangshanbo, and then go north to deal with Sun Lei.
"Sir Taiwei, although we need to rely on the navy to conquer Liangshanpo, we still have a lot of infantry. I'm afraid we won't be able to do it without enough soldiers and horses."
One person suddenly said, Gao Qiu has recently summoned navy troops, which cannot calm Liang Shanbo.
"What can you do?"
Gao Qiu looked at everyone and said.
"Lord Taiwei, there are two more powerful generals in the Forbidden Army. One of them is the commander-in-chief of the 800,000-strong Forbidden Army, and the official leader is Qiu Yue, the commander of the left Yiwei. The army commander is Zhou Ang, the general of chariots and cavalry."
Someone immediately recommended.
"Okay, send these two people to come to my tent to take orders, and then send my powerful generals Dang Shiying and Dang Shixiong to come here!"
Gao Qiu immediately said that he was going to defeat Liang Shanbo this time, so naturally he would bring all the generals who could fight with him.
In Jinmingchi, Liu Menglong is training the navy. In the navy camp not far away, new warships are being built.
"very good!"
Liu Menglong looked at those warships and laughed with satisfaction. The navy's biggest reliance was warships. Although he had a large navy in Jiankang Prefecture, there were not many new warships due to tight military expenditures. Now he sees so many new warships. How could the boat not be happy?
I'm on a business trip today, I'm a little late, sorry
