"Not always,"
Gao Feng said irritably,
"The various prefectures in Shandong are either afraid of Liangshan or have their own agendas. It's simply unrealistic to expect them to send troops to their aid."
"this........"
Ruan Qixiang was speechless.
Just as the lobby was completely silent,
Suddenly someone spoke up,
"Your Excellency, in my humble opinion, Liangshan is not a threat at all!"
"Oh? Who is spouting such nonsense?"
Gao Feng raised his head and glanced at the group of officials.
It finally stopped behind Ruan Qixiang.
"Ruan Qixiang, who is this young man behind you?"
Gao Feng inquired,
"Sir, this man's name is Zhao Xin, and he is from Zhaojia Village in Mengyin County,"
Ruan Qixiang quickly explained,
"The fact that Liangshan bandits were hiding in Anle Village on Rouge Mountain was obtained by him after he captured bandits from Flying Dragon Ridge and interrogated them."
"Zhao Xin, tell me, how is Liangshan not a threat?"
Gao Feng asked,
"If you can't give a proper explanation, I'll make you, like those bandits from Anle Village, be paraded through the city gates today!"
Chapter 513 The People of Qingyun Mountain Seek Help
"My lord, although Liangshan has more than 8,000 men, 3,000 of them are cavalry,"
Zhao Xin said slowly,
"The remaining five thousand are infantry; these are the main force for attacking the city."
"The city walls of Yizhou Prefecture are high and thick, and there are more than two thousand imperial guards and more than three thousand local guards inside the city."
As the saying goes, if you have ten times the enemy's strength, surround them; if you have five, attack them!
"The number of soldiers in Liangshan capable of attacking cities is only about the same as those in Yizhou, so what is there to fear?"
"Haha! That's right, well said!"
Gao Feng nodded approvingly.
Although he is greedy, he is not a brainless person.
Although the city walls of Yizhou Prefecture were sturdy enough...
But you also need capable people to support the defense.
otherwise,
Find a useless person to guard the city.
No matter how sturdy the city walls are,
Sooner or later, it will be conquered by Liangshan.
Just now in the lobby,
Gao Feng appeared anxious and helpless because
He just wanted to test these subordinate officials.
See if there are any usable people among them.
Unfortunately, in the past,
In order to levy exorbitant taxes in Yizhou Prefecture
Truly capable officials
Most of them had already been chased away by him.
All that was left was a bunch of sycophantic, good-for-nothing sycophants.
Now that Zhao Xin's answer was clear and logical,
In their expressions, none of the other officials showed any sign of weakness.
Gao Feng was naturally satisfied.
"Zhao Xin, I hereby appoint you as the Defense Commissioner of Yizhou Prefecture, to assist Military Commander Huang Kui in the defense of the city."
"Thank you very much, sir!"
Zhao Xin was overjoyed and quickly knelt down to express his gratitude.
"Do your job well, and once Liangshan retreats, I will promote you!"
After Gao Feng received promises of promotion and wealth,
He then left the hall on his own.
Go find Ruan Zhao'er.
I experienced the warmth of the anus.
In the lobby,
Seeing that Zhao Xin had been given a high title and promoted,
The officials naturally believed that Zhao Xin had become a favorite on the front page of the news.
He hurriedly stepped forward and showered her with flattery.
Zhao Xin was surrounded by the crowd.
He was naturally very pleased with himself.
For a moment, however, he forgot about his old boss, Ruan Qixiang, who was standing next to him.
Ruan Qixiang was not a magnanimous person to begin with.
Otherwise, back then,
And it wouldn't happen after Liu Guangde took his position.
They must also exterminate them all.
In the end, Liu Guang and his family were forced to flee Yizhou Prefecture.
Seeing that Zhao Xin was just joking and laughing with others,
But none of them paid any attention to him.
Ruan Qixiang was naturally filled with resentment.
He snorted coldly.
He then turned around and walked out of the lobby.
.....
Troops were being mobilized in Yizhou Prefecture.
When preparing to defend the city...
Liangshan received a large army.
They had already reached the foot of a large mountain.
Zhao Yuan and his party were originally just passing through this place.
I don't plan to stay at Qingyun Mountain for long.
But just as they set up camp at the foot of the mountain,
There were villagers from nearby
They mustered their courage and came to Liangshan to seek justice.
Originally, on Qingyun Mountain,
There was also a bandit camp.
There were at least seven or eight hundred henchmen in that stronghold.
There are three leaders in total.
They are, respectively, the leopard Di Lei, the hungry tiger Yao Shun, and the iron-backed wolf Cui Hao.
In terms of power, Qingyun Mountain...
It's not even as good as that cold and beautiful mountain.
But the evil deeds they did
It is certainly not in vain that they are inferior.
The nearby villagers,
In addition to providing them with money, food, wine, and meat,
Any beautiful girl,
They were all abducted and taken to the mountain stronghold for their debauchery.
Local villagers went to Yizhou Prefecture City multiple times to file complaints.
But Gao Feng was only concerned with accumulating wealth for himself.
And why would they care about the suffering of these people?
With nowhere else to turn, the villagers
Upon hearing that the Liangshan army was approaching,
I recalled hearing stories about Liangshan from passersby before.
He then mustered up his courage and came to file a complaint.
Hopefully, Liangshan can help them rid Qingyun Mountain of this malignant tumor!
After listening to the villagers' complaints, Zhao Yuan
He immediately summoned all the leaders to the military tent.
He had just recounted the events at Qingyun Mountain,
Xu Ning then spoke up to persuade him.
"Chief, our journey is for Yizhou Prefecture. This unexpected turn of events might..."
"Brother, I also think now is not the time to attack Qingyun Mountain,"
Lin Chong also said,
"Why don't we wait until we've captured Yizhou Prefecture before coming back to deal with the bandits of Qingyun Mountain?"
"Chief, something urgent has come up!"
Qin Ming clasped his hands in a fist salute and said.
"Brothers,"
Zhao Yuan looked around at everyone.
As the saying goes, a person without integrity cannot stand! (For those who are greedy for money)
"Liangshan stood up for the people and acted on behalf of Heaven, and it was not easy for them to raise their banner among the people."
"If we ignore the pleas of these people today,"
"Wouldn't all the hard work Liangshan has put into building its reputation over the past six months be for naught?"
"But Chieftain, once we've captured Yizhou Prefecture and are returning with our troops, we should still have time to deal with Qingyun Mountain, right?"
