So he readily agreed.
"You can rest assured about the affairs of these two families, Chieftain."
"I have already sent my brothers Shi Qian and Shi Xiu to personally lead men there,"
"After picking them up, we will send them to Dongping Prefecture."
"By the way, Yuncheng is modeled after Dongping Prefecture..."
"no,"
Zhao Yuan shook his head directly.
"The magistrate of Yuncheng has already incurred the wrath of both heaven and man,"
"If Liangshan doesn't punish him, they'll let him continue as magistrate,"
"The people will probably transfer their resentment to Liangshan."
"But such a big county town needs someone to manage it, right?"
Xu Guanzhong frowned and said,
"Once there is no government oversight,"
"Yuncheng is likely to descend into chaos very soon."
"What I mean is, why not let Military Advisor Wen be the magistrate of Yuncheng?"
Zhao Yuan expressed his thoughts.
"Wen Junshi was originally a scholar; with his abilities,"
"Managing such a county is more than enough for me."
"Chief, are you really sure about this?"
Xu Guanzhong reminded him,
"Once Liangshan really takes over Yuncheng,"
"Then in the eyes of the imperial court, they would no longer be ordinary bandits,"
"Or are they truly rebels?"
"This time, we defeated the imperial army that was suppressing the bandits,"
Zhao Yuan asked with a smile,
"Do you think people in Tokyo will still see us as ordinary bandits?"
"That's true,"
Xu Guanzhong said helplessly.
"But once Liangshan takes over Yuncheng, it cannot abandon it."
"If the imperial army comes again in the future, Liangshan must never retreat back to the marshland to defend itself..."
"Wasn't it already planned to build a small city on the west bank of the lake?"
Zhao Yuan pondered for a moment,
"Why not also use cement to expand and raise the city walls of Yuncheng?"
"The two complement each other, forming a mutually reinforcing relationship,"
"It will also be beneficial for defense in the future."
"Now that things have come to this, we have no other choice."
Xu Guanzhong nodded helplessly.
Originally, according to the discussion between Zhao Yuan and the three strategists of Liangshan,
After this victory over the imperial army to suppress bandits,
Liangshan still has at least a year left.
Continue to build up strength.
In order to deal with the subsequent encirclement and suppression by the imperial court,
But regardless of Zhao Yuan,
It was still Wen Huanzhang, Xu Guanzhong, and Zhu Wu.
But no one expected that,
Yuncheng was honored as the county magistrate.
In order to leave Yuncheng as soon as possible,
They actually dared to levy exorbitant taxes on Yuncheng without any scruples.
This actually sparked a popular uprising.
Things have escalated to this point.
Even if Liangshan didn't intervene, they had no choice.
After all, if Liangshan didn't take care of it,
The people of this city,
They will likely all face retribution from the magistrate later.
And they ignored it.
It would also ruin the good reputation that Liangshan had built among the people.
.....
The city of Yuncheng was handed over to Xu Guanzhong and Wen Huanzhang for handling.
Zhao Yuan, along with Jiao Ting,
And those hundred or so cavalrymen
While inquiring about the whereabouts of Huyan Zhuo, Zhang Qing, and Song Jiang,
They headed towards Qingzhou.
And at the same time,
Located at the foot of Qingfeng Mountain in Qingzhou,
Dong Ping, the Double-Spear General, was currently confronting Chao Gai and his men from Qingfeng Village.
They also received news of the government's failed campaign to suppress Liangshan.
The news has come that the entire army has been wiped out.
"More than 10,000 elite troops were wiped out just like that,"
Dong Ping sneered.
"The generals sent by the Tokyo imperial court are utterly incompetent!"
"Sir, what should we do now?"
The lieutenant asked,
"What else can I do!"
Dong Ping said irritably,
"Jeju suffered a crushing defeat. If we go there now, wouldn't we be walking into the lion's den..."
Chapter 802 Qingfeng Mountain
"Then let's continue the attack on Qingfeng Mountain?"
"I asked the lieutenant."
Upon hearing his subordinate mention this,
Dong Ping's face immediately darkened.
He was facing off against Qingfeng Mountain.
It's been almost a month now.
Except for the very first time,
Not only did they successfully thwart Qingfeng Mountain's night raid,
They even launched a counterattack and captured Qingfeng Mountain.
But after that,
They then refrained from launching any further attacks from Qingfeng Mountain.
The mountain road is rugged.
The government troops wanted to go up the mountain.
Especially bringing siege equipment up with them,
It was extremely difficult.
then,
Although I also didn't want it to end too soon.
We eagerly await the outcome of the great battle at the water marsh.
But actually,
This also explains why Dong Ping was unable to breach Qingfeng Village.
At this point,
Dong Ping then understood.
Why was Qingfeng Mountain able to wreak havoc in Qingzhou for so long?
Why rely solely on the original short-legged tiger Wang Ying, the fair-faced gentleman Zheng Tianshou, and the brocade-haired tiger Yan Shun?
The three of them had such poor skills.
All of these made Qin Ming, the Thunderbolt, completely helpless!
"hateful!"
The dual-wielder angrily raised his hand and slammed it on the low table.
Before this march,
He had promised Murong Yanda that...
If it's over there by the water,
The government troops suffered a major defeat.
Then he would directly attack and break through Qingfeng Village.
This would allow Murong Yanda to report back to the imperial court and Cai Jing.
But now,
The battle at the water's edge has already been decided.
On his side,
However, they were completely helpless against Qingfeng Village.
.....
at the same time,
In Qingfeng Village,
Chao Gai and his men had also received a report from their spies.
Having learned that the great battle at the marshland had ended,
