.....

At this time, the rear office of the Qingzhou prefectural government was...

Murong Yanda was sitting behind the desk in the study.

I'm getting a headache looking at the letter in front of me!

"Attack on Liangshan is indeed a good thing,"

Murong Yanda snorted coldly.

"If we could kill Zhao Dalang of Tokyo, as well as Qin Ming and Huang Xin,"

"This will finally vent my anger!"

"but....."

Speaking of which,

Murong Yanda suddenly sighed.

"Why do Prime Minister Cai, Privy Councilor Tong, and Grand Commandant Gao insist that we prefectures and counties send troops?"

"Directly mobilize troops from the north, or the imperial court's elite western army,"

"Wouldn't it be better to wipe out Liangshan in one fell swoop...?"

original,

Although it was at Tong Guan's request that day,

Cai Jing and Gao Kan temporarily agreed.

Let Cheng Wanli, the prefect under Tong Guan, test the strength of Liangshan.

However, Liangshan has become "arrogant and domineering" in Shandong over the past six months.

Cai Jing had also heard about it.

This historically renowned prime minister, Cai Xiang,

Although he was a treacherous minister

But you also need to be quite capable!

Looking at him...

Since Liangshan was able to run rampant in Shandong without any fear of reprisal...

That relies solely on the strength of Dongping Prefecture.

Naturally, they were no match for Liangshan!

However, due to the inexplicable self-confidence of the Privy Councilor Tong Guan,

Cai Jing didn't want to offend him and save face.

That's why they had no choice but to agree to let Dongping Prefecture send troops first.

But afterwards,

This Cai Xiang then sent a message to the various prefectures in Shandong.

Let them train hard.

So that we can cooperate with the imperial court to conquer Liangshan later!

.....

Murong Yanda, as the prefect of Qingzhou,

Naturally, they also received a message from Cai Jing.

Since Qin Ming and Huang Xin, nicknamed "Thunderbolt Fire," defected from Qingzhou Prefecture...

After joining Liangshan,

Murong Yanda's prestige in Qingzhou naturally diminished significantly.

This prompted Murong Yanda, the elder brother of the current imperial concubine,

How could I possibly swallow this insult!

Regarding the matter of several ministers in the Tokyo court wanting to send troops to attack Liangshan,

Murong Yanda naturally agreed with both hands.

But according to Cai Jingxin's request...

His Qingzhou Prefecture was located in a strategically important area.

It was already heavily guarded.

There were also military strongholds like Qingfeng Village.

We should join forces to suppress Liangshan!

But when it comes to this matter,

Murong Yanda, however, had no words to express his suffering.

It turned out that day,

After he asked his sister, Consort Murong, to help him secure the position of Prefect of Qingzhou,

Because of concerns that independence would be difficult to sustain.

Then, through an introduction,

They sought out the renowned Thunderbolt Qin Ming to accompany them to Qingzhou.

Originally, the two sides got along quite well.

Who knew that Song Jiang, the timely rain, would be involved?

They sent men to impersonate Qin Ming and kill and plunder civilians outside Qingzhou Prefecture.

Murong Yanda mistakenly believed that Thunderbolt had become an outlaw.

They immediately took all his family members to the city wall.

They were prepared to kill them all in front of "Qin Ming"!

If it weren't for this moment

Then Zhao Dalang of Liangshan suddenly intervened.

The rebel army that had plundered the city of Qingzhou was completely routed.

They even threw the corpse of the bandit who impersonated Qin Ming below the city wall.

Murong Yanda almost took Qin Ming's family members away.

They were all beheaded!

Although I understood in time,

I almost fell into the thief's trap.

But because of this incident,

An irreparable rift formed between Murong Yanda and Qin Ming.

This led to Thunderbolt leading Zhen Sanshan in a rebellion against Qingzhou and surrendering to Liangshan!

Murong Yanda naturally harbored deep resentment towards Qin Ming for this reason.

But these Thunderbolt Qin Ming and Mountain Suppressor Huang Xin,

He was originally his most capable general.

Once these two defected,

Murong Yanda's subordinates

Suddenly, there were no more generals left!

Although he intended to promote from among the local generals below him

But firstly,

The local Qingzhou government troops were already corrupt.

Its generals were naturally even more rotten.

Murong Yanda briefly tested his abilities,

They then discovered that none of them had any real ability.

Other than that,

There is another reason,

This Murong Yanda was an official from out of town who came to Qingzhou to serve as an official.

If they are the civil and military officers under their command,

They were all locals from Qingzhou.

Then it will inevitably be rendered powerless by them.

This made him eager to make a name for himself.

Thus, he made meritorious contributions in Qingzhou Prefecture.

Then he returned to Tokyo and was promoted to Murong Yanda.

Of course, I can't accept that.

"We have soldiers but no generals, what should we do?"

Murong Yanda rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on.

at this time,

His steward entered the study.

He reported to them that Dong Ping, the military commander of Dongping Prefecture, had come to see him.

"The Commander of Dongping Prefecture?"

Murong Yanda was slightly taken aback.

Suddenly, something came to mind.

The letter mentioned earlier,

News has arrived that Dongping Prefecture has dispatched troops to advance on Liangshan!

Murong Yanda was the prefect of Qingzhou.

Although Qingzhou and Liangshan Marsh are several hundred miles apart.

But after all, it's located in Shandong.

This won over Prefect Murong.

Naturally, it was a test of Liangshan's strength.

Absolutely clear!

Wanting to rely on the power of one state

To deal with Liangshan,

That's clearly a pipe dream!

If that's the case,

Since the military commander of Dongping Prefecture has come to request an audience with me...

So, their attempt to suppress Liangshan failed?

Murong Yanda frowned and pondered,
