Then he began to explain,

"What Commander Dong said is true,"

"But solving these three problems is actually not difficult."

"Take those three Liangshan strategists for example,"

"Xiao Ke had already found out their origins."

"The three strategists of Liangshan were Wen Huanzhang, Xu Guanzhong and Zhu Wu."

"Of these three, Wen Huanzhang failed the imperial examinations repeatedly,"

"That's why he harbored resentment towards the imperial court and sought refuge at Liangshan!"

"Xu Guanzhong was a martial arts champion, but he offended Tong Shumi in the imperial court because he disagreed with the alliance with the Jin to attack the Liao."

"That's why he was thrown into prison. After being rescued by Liangshan, he joined the Liangshan outlaws..."

Chapter 882 Sun Ce of the Three Kingdoms

"And that strategist Zhu Wu was originally just a bandit from the mountains,"

Song Jiang spoke slowly,

"They originally lived as outlaws on Shaohua Mountain, but they were forced to flee due to the government troops' encirclement and suppression."

"That's why they joined Liangshan!"

"Of these three strategists, the one who truly followed Zhao Yuan in his rebellion,"

"It should only be Xu Guanzhong, the martial arts champion."

"The remaining two are just following the crowd."

"Furthermore, since Liangshan has three strategists, there is bound to be a hierarchy among them."

"In my opinion, it shouldn't be too difficult to sow discord among these three."

These are all places where Song Jiang stayed on Liangshan Mountain for the past month.

The intelligence that was obtained

Murong Yanda and Dong Ping,

This is the first time I've heard someone describe the situation at Liangshan in such detail.

He was naturally stunned by Song Jiang's coaxing.

Only the timely rain itself knows the truth.

What he said...

In reality, it was just a superficial understanding of Liangshan.

What exactly is going on?

Song Jiang couldn't be sure either.

Because the timely rain was in Liangshan this month,

But as you walk,

Soldiers from Liangshan were with them everywhere.

This made it impossible for Song Jiang to find out detailed information about Liangshan.

As for Liangshan's three strategists

Song Jiang had only met them a few times each in the Hall of Gathering Righteousness.

We have not had any private contact.

After all, these three strategists were all intelligent men.

How could one possibly be in a situation like this, where things might go wrong?

He got himself into trouble.

Therefore, regarding the speculation that the three strategists of Liangshan were able to sow discord...

In fact, it was all Song Jiang's own selfish motives.

That's just wishful thinking!

But these,

Murong Yanda and Dong Ping were unaware of this.

The two-gun general saw that Song Jiang was full of confidence.

I thought that was really the case.

They dared not pursue the matter further regarding the three strategists of Liangshan.

Instead, he pressed Song Jiang for the other two demands he had just made.

"Supervisor Dong just asked how to get rid of that Liangshan chieftain,"

Song Jiang answered confidently,

"Actually, this matter is very simple."

"Hmph, of course it's easy for you to talk,"

Dong Ping snorted coldly.

Murong Yanda, however, had already had his interest piqued by Song Jiang.

"Commander Dong, don't say any more. Let Song Jiang continue."

"Your Excellency, Prefect,"

Song Jiang cupped his hands in greeting and asked,

Have you ever heard of Sun Ce of Eastern Wu during the Three Kingdoms period?

"Sun Ce is naturally aware of this,"

Murong Yanda nodded.

"But I don't know what you're referring to?"

"My lord, Sun Ce was also a formidable general during the Three Kingdoms period,"

Song Jiang explained,

"Even after his father Sun Jian died, he was still able to obtain troops by borrowing from Yuan Shu,"

"To establish a vast foundation in Jiangdong,"

"This shows that this person is brave and skilled in battle."

“This Sun Ce looks remarkably similar to this Zhao Dalang; both are so young,”

"He then relied on his own courage and wisdom to become famous throughout the world."

"But such people also share the same weaknesses."

"Oh?"

Murong Yanda asked curiously,

"What weakness?"

"Arrogance!"

Song Jiang would definitely have to say,

"My lord, think about what happened after Sun Ce established the foundation of the Wu Kingdom,"

"Yet he still relied on his superior martial arts skills,"

“He would only have a few attendants with him each day before going out on tours.”

"In the end, because of this, he died a tragic death at the hands of an assassin."

"Isn't Zhao Dalang, the chieftain of Liangshan, the same way..."

Chapter 883 Assassination of the Liangshan Chief

"Look at this Liangshan chieftain since he became famous,"

Song Jiang said with a sinister expression,

"But it's still the same as before,"

"He often travels around with about a hundred guards,"

"If we can find an inside agent within his ranks,"

"Once we know in advance the movements of this Liangshan chieftain,"

"At that time, we will want to take his life,"

"Isn't it just like Sun Ce during the Three Kingdoms period?"

"Is it just as easy?"

"this....."

Murong Yanda was stunned when he heard this.

After a while,

Suddenly clapping his hands, he said,

"Excellent! That's a brilliant plan!"

"According to what you said, you want to get rid of that Zhao Dalang from Tokyo,"

"It's really not a difficult thing!"

"Haha! In the past, when I thought of the Liangshan chieftain, I always associated him with Liangshan,"

"I almost forgot, that bandit also likes to travel alone!"

"You flatter me, sir,"

Song Jiang humbly cupped his hands in greeting.

"It's because I've seen the Liangshan chieftain a few times,"

"That's when I realized this weakness of theirs."

Dong Ping, who was standing next to him

Although they were also shocked by what Song Jiang said,

But at this time,

Seeing that this timely rain had won over Murong Yanda,

He still couldn't help it.

Some were so jealous they poured cold water on the situation.

That's true, but don't forget,

"First of all, how easy is it to plant a spy by Zhao Yuan's side?"

"Furthermore, Zhao Yuan is highly skilled in martial arts,"

"If we send a large army to ambush them, they will surely discover it,"

"But if we send too few people, I'm afraid we won't be a match for that guy."

"Yes, that's true."

Upon hearing this, Murong Yanda

I couldn't help but nod in agreement.

The excitement that had just welled up inside me
