The man looked down on Ruan Xiaoer.
He immediately stood up, his face turning ashen.
"If you're a real man, let's see who's the best!"
"Let's see who killed whom!"
"alright,"
Fang La stood up helplessly and laughed.
"Those of us who have come to this alliance are all powerful figures,"
"Why bother arguing about who's better now?"
"After everyone rises up and overthrows the Zhao Song dynasty,"
"The time will come when the winner is decided."
After Fang La finished speaking,
One of the men under Tian Hu from Hebei nodded and said...
"Master Fang is right,"
"It's just about this uprising,"
"We still need to take a long-term view."
"Although the Zhao Song dynasty is now corrupt,"
"But after all, the country has been established for over a hundred years,"
As the saying goes, "Even a centipede with a hundred legs does not fall down when it dies."
"Let's continue to conserve our energy,"
"Waiting for the right opportunity is the best approach."
"If things get really bad,"
"They might be wiped out by the Song Dynasty in the blink of an eye."
When Lou Minzhong heard this,
"That is incorrect. The court is now overrun by bandits and knows nothing of how to defend itself,"
"The people are impoverished and unaware of how to help them,"
"What's so scary about a court like this?"
"Although the Zhao Song dynasty has been established for over a hundred years now,"
"But it had already exhausted its energy."
"Now is the time when its edifice is about to collapse!"
"That Emperor Huizong (Zhao Ji) was incompetent and relied heavily on eunuchs and sycophants,"
"The court is full of people like Liang Shicheng, Tong Guan, Cai Jing, Wang Fu, and Zhu Mian!"
“These people are all jealous and resentful of talent,”
"Civil officials exploit the people, and military generals embezzle public funds."
"After you occupied the prefecture, did the imperial army continuously suppress you?"
"no!"
"That court is full of treacherous officials,"
"They're all just trying to whitewash the situation,"
"We dare not tell that tyrannical emperor the truth."
Chapter 1523 Demanding Money
"Even occasionally, one or two groups of troops will attack,"
"They're all people who haven't practiced in a long time."
"Such a Song court,"
"How can we possibly stop these heroes?"
The monk Jiechi, stroking his bald head, also spoke up.
“This brother from the Ming Cult is right,”
"Last year, when our Huaihe River basin suffered a severe drought,"
“That place was teeming with refugees,”
"But the state officials not only refused to provide relief grain,"
Instead, they took the opportunity to kill innocent people and claim credit for their crimes.
"This has forced many refugees to seek refuge with us."
"This is how the court..."
"What's there to be afraid of!"
Fang La nodded in agreement upon hearing this.
"that's right!"
"What's more, this time it's the four of us who have raised an army together!"
"The imperial court will surely be exhausted from dealing with this."
"Even with elite troops,"
"Divide it into four portions at once,"
"It's not something to worry about."
The man from Hebei then said...
"That's what they say,"
"But we in Hedong are poor,"
"Although my family has also conquered several cities,"
"But they didn't get much money or food,"
"They also can't afford to support a large army."
"My king is certainly not Master Fang,"
"They had the wealth accumulated over hundreds of years by Manichaeism as their starting capital."
"Secondly, unlike Huaixi, Hedong is not experiencing natural disasters now,"
"It would be difficult for us to coerce the people."
"Our current advantage is that we are surrounded by mountains in Hedong,"
"The terrain is treacherous, which is why we can deal with the officers and soldiers."
"But what if we really raise the banner of rebellion and overthrow the court?"
"I truly have the will but not the ability."
"This time, it was also Sect Leader Fang who summoned me,"
"My lord couldn't refuse,"
"That's why they sent me."
Fang La naturally wouldn't really believe it.
The Ming Cult is now invincible.
And he was already able to command the world.
"Hehe, you're joking, brother."
"Who in this world doesn't know that Tian Hu of Hedong has many soldiers and generals?"
"Brother Tian Bao, please don't be so modest."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yuan
I just found out,
This person from Hebei,
It turned out to be Tian Hu's second younger brother, Tian Bao.
This Tian Bao was clearly not an arrogant person.
Upon hearing Fang La speak,
He immediately shook his head and said,
"It's not that I'm trying to boost the morale of others while diminishing my own!"
"That's just how things are now,"
"Our Hedong region has always been poor,"
"Raising funds for the army has always been extremely difficult."
"If Leader Fang is willing to provide us with some money and provisions,"
"The matter of raising an army is naturally easy to discuss."
"Otherwise, we really don't have the strength to raise an army."
When Deng Yuanjue heard this...
He immediately glared at her and roared angrily.
"The cities you conquered in Hebei belong to the Tian family,"
"Why should we, the Ming Cult, have to pay?"
"Hedong is poor,"
Tian Bao shook his head and said,
"What use would it be for us to occupy those cities?"
"I originally thought your Ming Cult was going to start a rebellion,"
"We brothers are needed to respond from the east bank of the river,"
"It's to keep the imperial army at bay for your Ming Cult."
"Since your esteemed religion is unwilling,"
"Then we won't attack those dilapidated cities,"
"Losing troops and wasting effort,"
"Taking those ruined cities is really not worth it."
At this moment, everyone
Naturally, everyone could see that
This trip by Tian Bao,
They came not to respond to Fang La's call to revolt.
They've clearly come under the guise of demanding money and provisions from Fang La.
They all looked at each other in bewilderment.
Deng Yuanjue said angrily,
"We can't just not fight!"
"Even without you, our Ming Cult can still conquer the Southeast!"
