"Who said you were going to wipe out Liangshan?"
"It's not this Privy Councillor..."
Dong Ping immediately picked up Tong Guan's letter.
Cheng Wanli shook his head directly.
“Privy Councilor Tong is far away in Bianliang City and is not very familiar with the situation in Shandong. How can we do everything according to his wishes?”
"What does Your Excellency mean?"
Dong Ping was completely confused by Cheng Wanli's words.
Although he was secretly complaining to himself
These civil officials love to speak in riddles all the time.
They refuse to speak directly and clearly.
But at this time,
He still suppressed his anger and said...
"Shouldn't I be going to fight Liangshan?"
"We still have to fight,"
Cheng Wanli looked at the Double-Gun General and spoke slowly.
"Otherwise, I would not be able to explain myself to Privy Councilor Tong."
"Furthermore, if you don't fight against Liangshan, how can I persuade Privy Councilor Tong?"
"Does Your Excellency mean I should deliberately lose a match?"
Dong Ping frowned and asked.
"Deliberately losing?"
Cheng Wanli chuckled.
Do you have a chance to win?
Dong Ping clenched his fists, feeling mocked.
They simply remained silent.
"Just do your best to fight."
Cheng Wanli didn't want to provoke the dual-spear general too much.
"I will naturally inform Privy Councilor Tong of the true situation at that time..."
Chapter 625 Dong Ping's Plans
"Then I wonder how many soldiers the governor ordered me to lead to fight against Liangshan?"
Upon hearing that he was no longer required to fight to the death against Liangshan, Dong Ping...
I immediately relaxed a lot.
"How many soldiers do you think would be needed to defend Dongping Prefecture?"
Cheng Wanli, however, asked a different question.
After listening, the Double-Gunner pondered for a moment.
"In my humble opinion, as long as there are two thousand soldiers behind the high walls of Dongping Prefecture, we can be assured of absolute safety."
"two thousand....."
Cheng Wanli thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said,
"In that case, I will grant you permission to lead 1,500 soldiers out of the city."
"One thousand and five..."
Dong Ping frowned.
Clearly quite dissatisfied with this,
"This is already the maximum I can accept,"
Cheng Wanli snorted.
"And don't forget,"
"Your defeat in battle against Liangshan is only a minor offense,"
"If we lose Dongping Prefecture, that would be a true capital offense!"
"Okay! Fifteen hundred it is!"
Dong Ping gritted his teeth.
"But Your Excellency, I hope you will also keep your word!"
"Don't worry, I wouldn't break my promise to you,"
Cheng Wanli said with a disdainful expression,
"After you are defeated, I will report the truth to Privy Councilor Tong."
"As for the responsibility, we'll share it together!"
"When the report arrives, I will be there to watch!"
Dong Ping reiterated his demands.
"I will grant your wish."
Cheng Wanli snorted coldly.
"In that case, this humble general will go and make the preparations!"
The two-gunner bowed casually with his hands clasped.
Without waiting for Cheng Wanli to speak,
He then turned around and walked out.
His rude attitude
This naturally angered Cheng Wanli.
Just thinking about what's next,
Once Dong Ping sends troops...
They angered Liangshan.
Then they will guard Dongping Prefecture.
But they still need to rely on these two spears.
Cheng Wanli had no choice but to swallow his anger.
But he didn't know,
This is rude of them when they leave.
It turned out that Dong Ping had deliberately done this to test him!
Although Dong Ping looks like a brute...
But to be able to bestow upon oneself the title of "Heroic Double-Spear General, Romantic Marquis of Ten Thousand Households" is acceptable.
Of course, he wouldn't be completely without any interest in it.
When this fellow was leaving
He deliberately acted rudely.
I just wanted to test the waters.
This shows how much Cheng Wanli tolerated him.
Now that I see it,
My own rudeness
Cheng Wanli was feeling very aggrieved.
He dared not reprimand them.
The two gunmen immediately understood.
At this moment,
For Prefect Cheng,
It is obviously extremely important!
In that case,
Should I propose to him now?
Dong Ping, who had already reached the entrance of the prefect's residence, suddenly stopped.
My mind was filled with thoughts of the safety of Dongping Prefecture.
He was threatening Cheng Wanli to marry his daughter to him!
After hesitating at the door for a while,
Dong Ping shook his head again.
He felt that the truly crucial moment had not yet arrived.
"If we alarm Prefect Cheng now, and if he really refuses to marry his daughter to me, I might as well just resign from my post."
The dual-wielder secretly plotted,
"Wouldn't I end up with nothing?"
"At the very least, we should wait until Dongping Prefecture is on the verge of collapse, and that scoundrel has no choice but to beg me for help!"
"By then, Dongping Prefecture was surrounded by the Liangshan army, and that fellow had nowhere else to go!"
"If I propose to him again, the prefect certainly won't refuse..."
Chapter 626 Dong Ping's Campaign Against Liangshan
After returning to the barracks,
Dong Ping immediately set about selecting men to fight alongside him.
This time, they went out of the city to fight against Liangshan.
The dual-wielding general knew that defeat was inevitable.
But he was, after all, a military man.
Although they knew that Liangshan was now powerful,
But how could they be content with that?
Just admitting defeat so easily!
In his heart,
There was even a hint of planning involved.
If they participate in this match,
He could defeat Liangshan in one battle.
Even a narrow victory or a Pyrrhic victory,
That was enough to make him famous.
He has made a name for himself in the imperial court!
By then,
