"Yes, but what about Qingfeng Mountain?"
Zhao Yuan frowned and said,
"We need a reason to get involved."
"actually,"
Liu Huiniang said with a smile,
"I don't have a good idea,"
"But I do have a bad idea."
"What's the idea?"
Zhao Yuan chuckled.
"Whether it's good or bad, at this time,"
"As long as it's useful."
"It is indeed inappropriate for you, brother, to interfere in the marriage of the Hua family's daughter,"
Liu Huiniang said with a smile,
"So if we want to get involved in this matter, we can only do it from the other side."
"Wasn't the Hua family girl in charge of training archers on Liangshan before?"
"In a way, she's one of the leaders of Liangshan,"
"It's simply because all the archers on the mountain are trained by her,"
"That's why you didn't appoint her as the commander of an army."
"In my opinion, brother, why don't you select five hundred soldiers?"
“Send them directly to Qingfeng Mountain, where the Hua family girl will personally oversee them.”
"With five hundred elite soldiers at his command, no matter what Song Jiang plans,"
"We always have to be more cautious."
"And with soldiers under his command, what does it matter if Hua Jia's sister opposes Song Jiang?"
"There's always some confidence in us."
"Hmm, that's a good idea,"
Zhao Yuan smiled and nodded.
Even if it can't play a significant role,
"At the very least, it will cause some trouble for Song Jiang."
"Um,"
The female strategist nodded.
"Furthermore, we should arrange for our Liangshan soldiers to be stationed at Qingfeng Mountain,"
"It could also make Song Jiang suspicious,"
"People like Song Jiang have always been extremely suspicious,"
"Our five hundred soldiers at Qingfeng Mountain will surely keep him tossing and turning, unable to find peace of mind."
"With these soldiers dragging things out,"
Even if he intended to scheme against his brother,
"I'm afraid there won't be any time for the time being."
"Hmm, girls are definitely more perceptive,"
Zhao Yuan laughed.
"You've come up with such a good idea in such a short time."
"This is hardly a good idea."
Liu Huiniang said helplessly,
"To truly resolve this matter,"
"The best solution is actually to sever the connection between Song Jiang and Murong Yanda,"
"Without the support of officials in the government,"
"Song Jiang certainly wouldn't provoke Liangshan for nothing."
"Or, if we could just get rid of Song Jiang directly,"
"That would truly be the end of it all."
"We can't afford to worry about that right now,"
Zhao Yuan said helplessly,
Winter is just around the corner.
"At this point, it's simply impossible to march."
"Wait until next spring,"
"In case Tokyo comes to encircle and suppress us,"
"Qingzhou and Qingfeng Mountain are causing trouble behind the scenes,"
"I will lead my troops to Qingzhou again sooner or later."
For now, we can only do as you say.
.....
Following Liu Huiniang's suggestion
Zhao Yuan's side went directly up the mountain,
Five hundred elite soldiers were selected.
They all had families, and their families owned land in Liangshan.
Such soldiers,
Even if they reached Qingfeng Mountain...
It's easy for Song Jiang to win over one or two people,
He wanted to buy them all off.
That's clearly unlikely.
And at the same time,
Xu Guanzhong also sent people to bribe all the officials in the Xuzhou Ironworks.
They were just waiting for Liangshan's cargo ships to arrive in Xuzhou.
Then all the pig iron could be transported back.
Considering that this entire route is by water,
Xu Guanzhong did not send too many people.
Only Ruan Xiaoer and Zhang Shun were allowed to attend.
Leading five hundred naval soldiers,
There were also about twenty cargo ships, each carrying 500 shi (a unit of dry measure).
We traveled along the waterway all the way to Xuzhou.
.....
The naval forces went to Xuzhou.
There is no news yet.
Meanwhile, on the Liangshan side...
Following Liu Huiniang's suggestion
The five hundred elite soldiers dispatched
They had already arrived at Qingfeng Mountain.
When these soldiers first arrived at Qingfeng Mountain
This startled everyone on the mountain.
They only thought it was Dong Ping from Qingzhou.
Another person has been sent!
Song Jiang hurriedly summoned the soldiers and leaders,
He went to discuss matters with Wu Yong.
"Sergeant, what's going on?"
"It wasn't said that Dong Ping lost most of the troops in Qingzhou Prefecture,"
"Qingzhou dares not send troops out for the time being,"
"Why is this happening again..."
"This is indeed a bit strange,"
Wu Yong frowned and said,
"Did the scout who brought the news say what flag the enemy was flying?"
"In his panic, the scout didn't notice anything at all,"
Song Jiang said helplessly,
"These spies are all villagers who just came up the mountain,"
"Although after some training,"
"But courage can't be trained overnight..."
Chapter 1104 What's going on?
"No matter what, we still need to find out where these people came from first,"
Wu Yong spoke up,
"Now that we know their origins,"
"Only then will we have a way to deal with it."
"Alright,"
Song Jiang quickly nodded.
"I'll have them send a few reliable scouts over there right away."
“We also need to be careful in our village,”
Wu Yong reminded him,
"If it really is government troops, then the problem lies with Murong Yanda."
"This Prefect Murong not only has no intention of cooperating with us,"
"Instead, they're planning to take credit for our heads."
"This...it shouldn't be, right?"
Song Jiang's face was full of worry.
"Turning against us now won't do Prefect Murong any good."
"We don't know anything about what happens in officialdom,"
