Zhong Shidao slammed his fist on the table and stood up.
"Good, King Liang is indeed a man of great righteousness."
As he spoke, he bowed to Zhao Yuan and said,
“On behalf of the people of the Northwest, Master Zhong thanks the King for his great kindness.”
Zhao Yuan heard Zhong Shidao address him as "Great King,"
I know there's no need to waste any more words.
He quickly returned the greeting, saying, "General, please don't be so polite to Zhao Yuan."
After listening to Zhao Yuan's first few sentences, everyone...
Everyone thought Zhao Yuan was going to fight tooth and nail for control of the Central Plains prefectures.
After all, the prefectures in the Central Plains were much wealthier than those in the Northwest.
Moreover, at this time, the central plains prefectures were leaderless.
A prefecture-level city might only have two or three thousand soldiers.
This is the best time to conquer it.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Yuan was willing to send 50,000 troops to the west.
The master also stopped being negligent.
He hurriedly ordered his servants to prepare a banquet.
The group talked for a while longer,
Zhong Shidao also agreed to step in and persuade the Northwest Prefecture to submit to the Great Liang.
quickly,
A servant then came to report that the banquet had been prepared.
Master Zhong then invited everyone to the side hall.
Enter the side hall.
Everyone sat down.
Zhao Yuan saw that a burly man who had been standing behind Zhong Shidao had also taken a seat.
He couldn't help but ask in surprise, "May I ask this general's honorable name?"
The man quickly and respectfully replied, "My name is Wang Jin."
Lu Zhishen exclaimed, "The master of Brother Shi Jin?"
Wang Jin nodded and said, "When I passed through Shijia Village years ago, I gave him some pointers for half a year. Does the general know him?"
Zhao Yuan smiled and said, "Before we came here, Shi Dalang asked me to give his regards to his master."
Wang Jin frowned and said, "Although I only taught Shi Jin martial arts for half a year,"
"But knowing his character, why did he become an outlaw?"
Lu Zhishen then recounted all the reasons why Shi Jin had joined the outlaws.
Then he added, "Back then, Brother Shi Jin also went to Yan'an Prefecture to look for you."
"I want to work with you on the frontier to achieve a high official rank and secure a comfortable life for our families."
"Unfortunately, I went there and asked around but couldn't find it."
"They finally ran out of money and had to settle down."
Wang Jin said helplessly, "I just arrived at the residence of General Zhong, the old military commander, in Yan'an Prefecture."
"My husband has asked me to remain at his residence and serve him for now,"
"I'll find myself a job after I've achieved some merit."
Chapter 1727 Tong Guan
"But not long after, my husband was dismissed from his post,"
"I've offended that scoundrel Gao Qiu again,"
"And he couldn't stay in the military any longer."
She then went into seclusion with her husband.
Lu Zhishen laughed and said, "I see. But Gao Qiu has already been killed by our king."
"You will never be able to take revenge yourself."
Although Wang Jin and Zhong Shidao lived in seclusion in Leopard Forest Valley of Zhongnan Mountain
But it wasn't completely isolated from the world.
Zhong Shidao worried that allying with the Jin to destroy the Liao would be like inviting a wolf into the house.
Therefore, he always paid close attention to important matters of the imperial court.
When Wang Jin first heard that someone was plotting to assassinate Zhao Ji,
In the end, however, he killed Gao Qiu.
I was overjoyed.
The reputation of the Great Liang Dynasty for upholding justice on behalf of Heaven was also one of the reasons why Zhong Shidao was willing to accept the Great Liang Dynasty's recruitment.
If the Great Liang were as tyrannical as Wang Qing and Tian Hu,
That kind of teacher-student relationship then needs to be re-evaluated based on the pros and cons.
Zhao Yuan also looked at Wang Jin with burning eyes.
"I've long heard of Instructor Wang Jin's great reputation,"
"We would like to invite Instructor Wang back to Tokyo to serve as the chief instructor of our Great Liang army."
"Oversee the training of all troops in my Great Liang,"
"What does Instructor Wang think?"
Wang Jin hadn't spoken yet.
Zhong Shidao had already said, "Your Majesty has many talented people under your command."
"Then let this old man keep Instructor Wang."
If it were an ordinary warrior capable of defeating ten thousand men,
Zhao Yuan wouldn't take it to heart.
There are countless military generals like this in the Great Liang Dynasty.
But someone who could train a master like Shi Jin in just six months...
But not one.
Perhaps Zhou Tong, the master of Lu Junyi, Lin Chong, and Wu Song, can be compared to him.
However, Zhou Tong had long since disappeared without a trace.
Zhao Yuan naturally didn't want to miss out on Wang Jin.
"The Western Army is quite powerful; they must have their own training methods,"
"Our Great Liang is in dire need of reconstruction."
"We need someone like Instructor Wang,"
"Please, General, be lenient."
Zhong Shidao also felt that the Western Army needed the strong support of the Great Liang right now.
And Wang Jin was indeed not a general trained by the Western Army.
Upon hearing this, he said, "Then let Instructor Wang decide whether to stay or leave."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yuan
He quickly turned to Wang Jin and said,
"I had long heard Lin Chong speak of Instructor Wang's skills,"
"Rest assured, Instructor Wang, you are in charge of all training arrangements."
"The head instructor is considered a high-ranking official of the third rank."
Wang Jin saw that Zhao Yuan valued him so much.
Without further hesitation, he clasped his hands in a fist salute and said,
"I am willing to serve Your Majesty."
.....
Jiangnan
Tong Guan defied the imperial decree and disrespected the Empress.
They were also afraid that Emperor Huizong would issue another decree.
He immediately ordered the Song army to surround Muzhou.
They wanted to capture Muzhou before Zhao Ji became angry.
However, upon entering Muzhou...
The Song army then encountered fierce resistance from the righteous army that came from nearby prefectures to protect the Holy Duke.
To encourage the soldiers to work even harder,
Tong Guan issued a military order: "Kill one person and be rewarded with seven bolts of silk."
Sure enough, after this military order was issued,
The Western Army's advance then accelerated considerably.
They quickly captured Muzhou.
The only downside was that Fang La led some of his remaining troops back to Bangyuan Cave.
Tong Guan had no choice but to lead his army to besiege Bangyuan Cave once again.
The night was deep.
The air was thick with the stench of blood.
The vast central command tent contained only Tong Guan and his trusted advisor Dong Yun.
Tong Guan had many advisors.
Just like his personal guard, which numbered as many as 20,000.
But tonight he only summoned Dong Yun.
Chapter 1728 A Dilemma
Tong Guan handed a letter to Dong Yun.
"This is a letter sent to me by the prefect of Shouzhou on horseback. Take a look."
Dong Yun curiously took the letter.
His expression changed drastically after reading just a few lines.
I suppressed the turmoil in my heart and finished reading it.
Calm down your mind,
Is this true?
Tong Guan nodded and said, "This is the second letter like this I have received."
"It can't be wrong."
