But he was not interested in women.
Needless to say, Wu Song and Shi Xiu,
Although Ruan Xiaoqi was playful,
He doesn't care about women.
not far away,
Xu Guanzhong, Wen Huanzhang, and Zhao Yuan chatted for a while.
Then he went to exchange pleasantries with Zhao Mingcheng and the others.
The two of them used to be the strategists of Liangshan.
Now they are both Left and Right Chancellors.
In terms of their position in Liangshan
He is naturally superior to Zhao Mingcheng.
However, neither of them had previously held official positions.
Therefore, in political affairs,
There are still many things I need to learn from Zhao Mingcheng and others.
The three-day celebration in Liang Kingdom has ended.
Just as Zhao Yuan was preparing to send men to seize Binzhou,
Then the news was received.
During the Song Dynasty, Emperor Huizong dispatched Tong Guan with an army of 200,000 to attack Fang La.
He then ordered Gao Qiu to lead an army of 100,000 to attack the Liang Kingdom.
Zhao Yuan heard that 100,000 troops were coming to attack.
They dared not be negligent.
They quickly summoned everyone to discuss countermeasures.
Li Kui immediately shouted,
"Who cares how many soldiers they have,"
"Kill them one by one,"
"Come on, two of them, kill them both!"
"I'm afraid they're too few to kill,"
"This time I'll eat my fill."
Zhao Mingcheng shook his head and said,
"The enemy outnumbers us; if we go into battle, I fear we will be outnumbered."
"It would be better to prepare more rolling logs and stones, and defend the city walls."
"Then we'll seize another opportunity to launch a counterattack."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yuan shook his head and said,
"The Song Dynasty's soldiers were nothing but sheep."
"But the soldiers of my Great Liang are like fierce tigers."
"No matter how many sheep there are, how can they defeat a fierce tiger?"
"My Great Liang has just been established,"
"We must win a great victory to demonstrate our national power."
Lin Chong heard that his enemy, Gao Kan, was leading troops.
He immediately volunteered,
"What Your Majesty says is true,"
"The Song Dynasty's imperial guards are already corrupt,"
"What do we have to fear?"
Lu Zhishen immediately shouted as well.
"I also suggest taking the initiative to fight."
All the generals advocated for war.
It was the Left Chancellor, Xu Guanzhong.
They also felt that the Liangshan army was incomparable to the Song Dynasty army and supported the expedition.
Seeing that everyone was saying this, Zhao Yuan
He nodded and said,
"Alright, then let's give the Song Dynasty troops a good beating."
After thinking about it,
Zhao Yuan pondered for a moment,
"Since we've already decided to fight, why not take the initiative?"
"Let's seize Tai'an Prefecture before Gao Qiu's army arrives,"
"Then we will fight a decisive battle with Gao Qiu's army in Tai'an Prefecture."
Zhao Mingcheng nodded in agreement.
"What Your Majesty says is quite right,"
"We have just established our nation, and the people's hearts are not yet with us,"
"If the decisive battle were to take place in Qingzhou,"
"This would likely cause the people to flee into Song Dynasty territory."
Zhao Yuan naturally didn't want to be a prince in an empty city.
He immediately slammed his fist on the table and said,
"Very well, then I will personally lead the troops to attack Tai'an Prefecture."
"Then we will defeat Gao Qiu's army."
The Great Liang currently has 20,000 regular troops and 7,000 reserve troops.
Hsu Kuan-chung suggested,
"This mission is to attack Tai'an Prefecture,"
"If we launch a full-scale attack, it will likely be difficult to take the city in a short time,"
"By then, the soldiers will be exhausted, and we will be able to defeat Gao Qiu's army."
"It will inevitably be difficult, so we should take a more strategic approach."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yuan nodded and said,
"What good plan does the Left Chancellor have?"
Xu Guanzhong pondered,
"Then it will be difficult to mobilize the troops from Tai'an Prefecture,"
"Why not infiltrate some spies into the city first?"
"At that time, with the help of both inside and outside forces, we will break through Tai'an Prefecture."
Zhao Yuan frowned and said with concern,
"Our Great Liang has captured Qingzhou and Zizhou,"
"Tai'an Prefecture must be under heavy security,"
"At this point, it will probably not be easy to sneak in."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gongsun Sheng laughed.
"Your Majesty, there are many Taoist temples in Tai'an Prefecture,"
"It would be convenient for this humble Taoist to blend into the city."
Lu Zhishen also said,
"I've heard there are even more temples in Tai'an Prefecture,"
"Of course I can go in too."
Zhao Yuan glanced at the two genuine monks.
He immediately burst into laughter.
"I almost forgot about the two of you,"
"Then please, you two, enter the city first."
"The main army followed."
"If the troops of Tai'an Prefecture do not engage in battle,"
"I'll have Shi Qian contact you again."
After discussion, everyone agreed that
Gongsun Sheng and Lu Zhishen then went ahead to Tai'an Prefecture.
The two arrived at the gate of Tai'an Prefecture.
At the city gate, pedestrians were being checked.
Indeed, it was very well-prepared.
Fortunately, both of them were genuine monks.
There are also ordination certificates and other proofs.
They entered the city without incident.
Chapter 1592 Tai'an Prefecture
The two entered the city.
Seeing that the city was also under strict security checks,
They didn't dare to rest at the inn.
They had no choice but to split up and stay at temples and Taoist monasteries.
It is said that the prefect of Tai'an City here was surnamed Wen.
He was originally from Tokyo.
He was originally a sycophantic and despicable person.
But because he was skilled at flattery...
He was sent to the residence of Grand Tutor Cai.
He was promoted all the way up to the position of prefect.
Since this person surnamed Wen took office,
But all they know is how to exercise power and influence.
Corruption and abuse of power
This has caused suffering and injustice to every household.
Later I heard that Liangshan was acting on behalf of Heaven to uphold justice.
Specializing in killing corrupt officials
