Chen Liqing asked in confusion,
"Could it be that they were attacked by other bandit strongholds?"
"There aren't any large bandit strongholds in Dengzhou at all,"
Zhao Yuan said,
"I heard from the brothers Zou Yuan and Zou Run,"
"At that time, there were still more than two hundred henchmen in the village who refused to come down the mountain,"
"They left them all to Sun Li and the others."
"More than two hundred people from the bandit stronghold,"
"In Dengzhou, this is already considered quite good."
"Furthermore, Sun Liren claimed to be ill with Yuchi,"
"Previously, he was a military commander in Dengzhou Prefecture,"
"The other three are Little Yuchi Sun Xin, Mother Tiger Gu Dasao, and Iron-Called Le He,"
"They all also possess martial arts skills,"
"With these four men, plus over two hundred henchmen,"
"This Dengyun Mountain stronghold is considered one of the best in Dengzhou,"
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible that the village was attacked and burned down.
"Big brother is right!"
Liu Huiniang nodded.
"This village was definitely not burned down by outsiders."
Saying,
The female strategist pointed to the ground.
"Look, everyone,"
"Although the ground is messy,"
"But there was no blood or corpse at all,"
"This shows that when the chieftain's house caught fire,"
"No one came knocking on the door."
"Secondly, there wasn't a single knife, spear, or club in the village,"
"What was burned were just some bulky things,"
In my opinion,
"This village must have been burned down by Sun Li and his men themselves."
"They burned it themselves?"
Chen Liqing looked puzzled.
Why would you burn down your own mountain stronghold for no reason?
On Zhao Yuan's side,
By this time, he had come to understand quite a bit.
"I think the reason Sun Li and his men burned down Dengyun Mountain stronghold was..."
"They're probably going to seek refuge with other bandits!"
"But among the bandits in Shandong, isn't Liangshan the most powerful?"
Jiao Ting scratched his bald head.
"When Zou Yuan, Zou Run, and their nephew, along with the brothers Xie Zhen and Xie Bao, joined Liangshan,"
"None of these four are willing to come to Liangshan?"
"Where else can they go to invest?"
"Which other bandit group can compare to our Liangshan?"
"This is not the reason for being comparable or not."
Zhao Yuan shook his head.
Looking at the others, he spoke slowly.
"That sickly Yuchi Sunli was originally the military commander of Dengzhou,"
"I heard it from Zou Yuan and Zou Run,"
"This person is cold and selfish."
"If it weren't for Jie Zhen and Jie Bao getting involved this time,"
"How could he possibly abandon his official post and become an outlaw!"
"I think the reason Sun Li is unwilling to join Liangshan is..."
"Because what we have done is an act of rebellion,"
"This is inconsistent with Sun Li's ambition to become an official,"
"That's why he refuses to join forces!"
"Looking at the current situation of Dengyun Mountain,"
"Sun Li must have made up his mind,"
"He brought three other people, along with the henchmen of this village,"
"Let's go together to that place that is willing to accept the imperial pardon,"
"A place where he can continue to serve as an official!"
"Where is that?"
Chen Liqing still didn't quite understand.
Liu Huiniang, who was standing nearby, then chimed in.
"These days, the bandits of Shandong,"
"I only know about our Yuanbi Village, and I'm not interested in seeking refuge here."
"And then there's Song Jiang from Qingfeng Mountain in Qingzhou,"
"Most of the remaining bandit strongholds are not significant,"
"It's not much different from Dengyun Mountain."
"Since elder brother says that Sun Li is cold and selfish,"
"I suppose they wouldn't even look down on these small bandit villages."
"Then he can turn to for help,"
"That is, our Yuanbi Village,"
"Or perhaps it was Song Jiang who got into Qingzhou."
"Um,"
Zhao Yuan nodded.
“Ah Xiu is right,”
"In my opinion, this Sun Li is most likely a suspect,"
"They went to Qingzhou to find Song Jiang."
"Why?"
Chen Liqing said somewhat indignantly,
"Are we, Yuanbi Village, really inferior to Qingfeng Mountain?"
"This isn't a question of whether we can compete or not,"
Zhao Yuan chuckled.
"In terms of strength, Ape Arm Stronghold and Qingfeng Mountain are about the same,"
"But when the government troops previously besieged Liangshan,"
"Then Song Jiang led his men up the mountain to help,"
"I had someone write a proclamation to quell the rebellion,"
"It was published in his name throughout the martial arts world,"
"That document clearly revealed Song Jiang's desire for amnesty,"
"Since Sun Li is so determined to regain his official position,"
"Natural first reaction,"
"So he went to find Song Jiang, who shared his ideals..."
Chapter 970 He Took the Bait
This trip to Dengyun Mountain,
Although I didn't see Sun Li and the others.
But it wasn't a complete failure.
At least,
Let Zhao Yuan know,
More people went to serve Song Jiang, the timely rain.
On the mountain,
After listening to what Zhao Yuan said,
Chen Liqing asked in confusion,
"That Chao Gai, the chieftain of Qingfeng Mountain,"
"Haven't we always followed the lead of Liangshan?"
"When we passed through Qingzhou before,"
"Then Chief Chao came specially and gave a lot of gold and silver jewelry to be used as military supplies."
"Judging from his appearance, he doesn't seem to want to be granted amnesty."
"elder sister,"
Liu Huiniang smiled and said,
"The one who wants to be granted amnesty is none other than Chao Gai, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King,"
"It was Song Jiang, the timely rain!"
"But isn't Chao Gai the leader of Qingfeng Mountain?"
At this point, Chen Liqing said
Looking at Zhao Yuan and Liu Huiniang smiling in front of him,
Suddenly it dawned on me.
"These two have different ambitions,"
"Won't Qingfeng Mountain be destined for internal strife and a major conflict sooner or later?"
"That's right,"
Zhao Yuan nodded.
