Dong Ping suddenly shuddered.
He quickly stood up from the table.
He hurriedly walked outside.
He could embarrass Cheng Wanli.
But they dared not show any disrespect to Tong Guan!
If it really delays the affairs of that Privy Councilor Tong,
That's probably the end of his tenure as a prison warden!
......
After Dong Ping left,
The servant then breathed a sigh of relief.
While rubbing his abdomen,
He found a table and sat down, his face looking grim.
"What kind of bullshit dual-wielder is this! A mere brute dares to be so arrogant!"
"Sir, have a drink to calm your nerves,"
The hotel waiter placed the food and wine next to the servant.
"General Dong is just drunk, please don't take it to heart, sir!"
"Bah! What kind of general is he! Just a lowly military commander!"
The servant spat on the floor.
He then picked up his glass and drank it all in one gulp.
"Commander, isn't that the same as a general in our ranks?"
The waiter said with a forced smile.
"This isn't Bianliang. If you hadn't mentioned Privy Councilor Tong just now, how could we have gotten that Supervisor Dong to back down!"
"hey-hey,"
The servant ate his food and wine, and chuckled smugly twice.
Upon seeing this, the waiter...
He flattered her with a face full of admiration.
“We never imagined that Prefect Cheng was actually a subordinate of Tong Guan, the Privy Councilor,”
"I've heard that Privy Councilor Tong is a favorite of the current emperor!"
"Hehe, my master used to be a retainer in the Tong Privy Council's residence,"
The servant didn't think much of it.
He said smugly.
"My father was also involved in this campaign against Liangshan... Bah! Why am I telling you this!"
The servant realized he had misspoke.
He took another sip of the fine wine.
He then hurriedly ran out of the hotel.
After the servant left,
The waiter quickly walked to the back of the hotel.
The information I just found out
The shopkeeper was informed of everything.
A quarter of an hour later,
A fast horse galloped out of Dongping Prefecture.
They headed straight for Liangshan Marsh!
This hotel,
This was none other than an intelligence outpost that Liangshan had established in Dongping Prefecture!
Chapter 624 Deliberate Defeat?
Prefect Cheng Wanli waited in his residence for half a day.
Instead, Dong Ping, reeking of alcohol, arrived.
This naturally made him feel...
They grew even more dissatisfied and contemptuous of this dual-wielding general.
It was only because of Tong Guan's arrangement to conquer Liangshan Mountain,
We still need Dong Ping.
Cheng Wanli then managed to suppress his anger and refrain from lashing out.
"This humble general greets the Prefect,"
After Dong Ping finished his formalities,
When I looked up...
Seeing that Prefect Cheng Wanli was only looking at him,
Without saying a word,
He couldn't help but cough.
"Prefect Cheng, I've heard there's a letter from Bianliang..."
"It was sent by someone sent by Privy Councilor Tong,"
Cheng Wanli handed over the letter expressionlessly.
"As for the content, you can see for yourself."
"Yes!"
Dong Ping took the letter with a suspicious look on his face.
I only glanced at it twice.
His expression immediately turned ugly.
"Tong Shumi actually wants us to use the troops of an entire prefecture to wipe out Liangshan?"
"Has he lost his mind?"
"What are you talking about?"
Cheng Wanli snorted coldly.
She glared at Dong Ping, annoyed.
He then sighed helplessly.
"In the eyes of Tong Shumi and his men, even if Liangshan caused a great disturbance, they were ultimately nothing more than petty bandits from the greenwood,"
"They thought Liangshan was just like other bandits in the greenwood,"
"They're all a rabble!"
"As soon as the government troops arrive, they will immediately kneel down and beg for mercy."
"That's why I sent this letter."
"But...but in reality, those Liangshan bandits were no ordinary petty thieves!"
Dong Ping said with a dark face,
"During the plague outbreak, you, Prefect, saw the Liangshan army, didn't you?"
That's what the dual-wielding general was saying.
When the plague first broke out in various parts of Shandong,
Some disaster victims from Hebei ended up in Dongping Prefecture.
However, a plague broke out.
Prefect Cheng's daughter, Cheng Wan'er, also contracted the disease at that time.
Upon learning that the disaster victims had become the source of the plague,
The Dongping Prefecture government then decided to let them fend for themselves.
Liangshan sent a large army to the outskirts of Dongping Prefecture.
All the refugees were taken to the shore of the marsh for medical treatment.
At that time, Prefect Cheng Wanli witnessed it firsthand on the city wall.
Having seen the military might of Liangshan, they gained strength and power.
“I know, but Privy Councilor Tong doesn’t,”
Cheng Wanli said helplessly,
“I have already reported the Liangshan matter several times in my previous letters to the Privy Council.”
"But none of this attracted the attention of Privy Councilor Tong."
"Even so, sir, you must try to persuade me again!"
Dong Ping urged,
"With less than three thousand soldiers from Dongping Prefecture, going up against tens of thousands of soldiers from Liangshan is like throwing an egg against a rock!"
"I would like to offer some advice, but what can I say?"
Cheng Wanli slapped the table.
"Are you saying that we've never fought against Liangshan and have only been cowardly and avoided battle?"
"Does my lord intend for me to go and die?"
When Dong Ping said this,
His eyes were already wide open.
His face was full of ferocity!
His ferocious expression...
Naturally, this startled Cheng Wanli, causing him to take a slight step back.
But then,
Prefect Cheng remembered his own identity.
He immediately puffed out his chest and rebuked,
"Dong Ping, don't forget who you are!"
"It is the duty of the government troops to suppress bandits!"
"Were the Liangshan bandits just ordinary bandits?"
Dong Ping immediately retorted,
"It would be impossible to wipe out Liangshan without at least 30,000 to 50,000 soldiers!"
"Now you want me to rely on less than three thousand soldiers to wipe out Liangshan,"
"You dare say this isn't sending me to my death?"
Faced with interrogation by the two gunmen,
Cheng Wanli simply gave a cold laugh.
