The henchman nodded hesitantly.
"Hmph, what kind of ridiculous market is this? How can it be so arrogant?"
Li Kui stood up from his chair in a huff.
"Brother, let's send troops immediately!"
"Level this bird market!"
"Tie Niu, please sit down."
Zhao Yuan laughed.
"Zengtou City must be attacked, of course,"
"You'll definitely get a share then."
After Li Kui returned to his seat,
Zhao Yuan asked Xu Guanzhong,
"Just how many troops does Zengtou City have that they dare to be so arrogant?"
"I don't know their current situation,"
Xu Guanzhong shook his head.
"I was also studying in Hebei back then,"
"I heard about what happened in Zengtou City."
"At that time, Zengtou City probably had two or three thousand soldiers,"
"Now more than two years have passed,"
"The current situation in Zengtou City,"
"I'm not sure about that."
"Chief, I know,"
Deng Fei's trusted henchman hurriedly reported this.
"There are now three thousand households in Zengtou City,"
"There are probably tens of thousands of people."
"Tens of thousands of people..."
Xu Guanzhong estimated that,
"So, if a fight really breaks out..."
"Zengtou City should be able to gather about four or five thousand soldiers."
"This is how Zengtou City operates,"
Zhu Wu asked in confusion,
"Isn't it almost the same as those bandits?"
"So the government of Cangzhou just doesn't care about anything?"
"How could we possibly manage that!"
Xu Guanzhong sneered.
"The Zengtou City was attacking bandit strongholds on all sides,"
"What they're after is nothing more than money and provisions from the bandits,"
"This money and supplies they obtained,"
"And also gold, silver, and horses smuggled from the north,"
"Which of these things can be done without the government?"
"They were completely in cahoots, working together in the same boat,"
"How could the government possibly care about them!"
"Regardless of what Zengtou City was like in the past,"
Zhao Yuan stood up and said coldly,
"But now, since they dare to attack Yinma River..."
Chapter 1432 Attack on Zengtou City
"If our Liangshan doesn't react at all,"
Zhao Yuan sneered.
"Wouldn't that make Liangshan a laughingstock to the world?"
"Does anyone think they can bully anyone?!"
Zhu Wu frowned.
"But chieftain, Zeng Family Village is far away in Cangzhou, Hebei."
"Between Liangshan and the surrounding area, there are many prefectures and counties,"
"If we were to lead troops to fight, I'm afraid there would be many inconveniences."
"We must fight, no matter how inconvenient it is!"
Zhao Yuan said in a deep voice,
"Now, the soldiers of Zengtou City are surrounding Yinma River,"
"They're trying to seize our warhorses; if we don't break through Zengtou City,"
"Losing face is a small matter,"
"Once the spirit of the stronghold is damaged, that would be a real problem!"
"The chieftain is right,"
Qin Ming, with his fiery temper, immediately stood up and said...
"This Zengtou City, to put it bluntly, is nothing more than a small market."
"Our Liangshan Mountain stands proudly in Shandong,"
"Can't we even take such a small place?"
Lu Zhishen and his group of hot-tempered leaders
They all spoke up one after another.
They were clamoring to attack Zengtou City.
among them,
Li Kui shouted the loudest, in particular.
Zhao Yuan nodded in satisfaction.
"Those people from Zengtou City are too arrogant,"
"If we don't teach them a lesson, Liangshan will become a laughing stock among all the heroes in the world."
"I have decided to lead the troops myself,"
"Select twelve more leaders to come down the mountain with me and head to Hebei together!"
The hall immediately became noisy again.
But it was a group of leaders.
They were all clamoring to go down the mountain with Zhao Yuan.
In the end, Zhao Yuan consulted with his two strategists.
He personally finalized the list of those to be sent on the expedition.
This time, accompanying Zhao Yuan on the expedition to Zengtou City,
There are Lin Chong with Leopard Head and Luan Tingyu with Iron Cudgel.
Xu Ning, the Golden Spear General, and Li Ying, the Sky-Piercing Eagle,
Thunderbolt Qin Ming, Little Li Guang Hua Rong,
Double-whip Huyan Zhuo, Hundred-Victory General Han Tao,
Tianmu generals Peng Qi and the Flowery Monk Lu Zhishen,
There were twelve people in total, including Yang Zhi, the Blue-Faced Beast, and Li Kui, the Black Whirlwind.
Seeing that Zhao Yuan had chosen the leader, Xu Guanzhong asked again,
"How many troops does the chieftain plan to bring down the mountain this time?"
Zhao Yuan saw that the mountain stronghold had gathered a group of leaders,
He has already taken most of it with him.
At most, Zengtou City only had five thousand soldiers.
"Just in case, let's leave it at that,"
"I will set off with two thousand cavalry and five thousand infantry."
"And also, winter marches,"
"It's probably not very convenient to get supplies there."
"The two military advisors will be in charge of supplying provisions,"
"In any case, the supply of this food must not go wrong."
"Rest assured, Chieftain,"
Xu Guanzhong and Zhu Wu both assured him that
"We two will definitely protect this grain route perfectly."
...
the next day,
Zhao Yuan personally led a large army,
After leaving the water,
He led his massive army northward, heading straight for Cangzhou.
The commotion at Liangshan was enormous.
This clearly alarmed the nearby Texas government.
The officials of the various prefectures and counties in Shandong
Since Huyan Zhuo's defeat at Liangshan this year,
They would never dare to challenge Liangshan again.
Seeing Liangshan's actions,
It's obviously going to be a big deal.
These prefectures all fortified their cities.
And then I looked forward to it in my heart.
Liangshan must never come to their own territory.
The journey to Liangshan was peaceful and uneventful.
Twelve days later, the Liangshan army arrived in Cangzhou.
They set up a stockade ten miles outside Zengtou City.
Zhao Yuan saw that it was still early,
