Yang Bufeng, the governor of Dongchang Prefecture, will send 50,000 soldiers to Liangshan in three days to capture Ximen Qing and other leaders, and wipe out Liangshan and destroy the thief's nest.

As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused Ximen Qing's shock. Ximen Qing couldn't help but shout: "What happened?"

However, Ximen Qing’s shock was not because of fear or panic, but because of excitement. Yes, it was just excitement!

***Yang Bufeng, I was angry with you when I was in Dongchang Mansion. I always wanted to take revenge. I never thought that you came to me now. Hehe... If you want to die, then I will fulfill your wish.

Ximen Qing thought to himself, and then asked Chen Nan: "Chen Nan, is the news reliable?"

Chen Nan nodded quickly and said, "I am willing to use the head to guarantee the news. The news is absolutely reliable! The merchant's relative is the captain of Dongchang Prefecture. He learned the news of attacking Liangshan from his relatives."

Ximen Qing nodded, then asked: "Did the merchant tell me why the Dongchang Mansion Army came to attack us?"

Chen Nan shook his head and said, "I don't know this!"

At this time, Li Kui in the hall laughed and said, "Master, what's the reason for him? Those birds come to provoke us, then we will beat them up and go back, haha..."

"That's right! I'm really looking for death if I dare to offend us Liangshan!" Yang Zhi and Hua Rong also shouted in unison.

Then, many leaders in the hall nodded and responded.

Ximen Qing waved his hand and said, "Quiet, calm me down! Look at you one by one, it seems like you have never seen the world, and you are crazy about wanting to fight?"

Even though he said so, Ximen Qing also thought so in his heart. Therefore, after saying this, Ximen Qing touched his nose with a little guilty conscience.

However, although Ximen Qing was excited, he also knew how to inspect the market.

Dongchang Prefecture has no reason. Why did it attack Liangshan? Why was it not Dongping Prefecture, or Daming Prefecture and Beijing Prefecture? Is it just because of Yang Bufeng's personal grudges and thinking about revenge on Ximen Qing? But even because of his personal grudge, Yang Bufeng has no right to wipe out Liangshan! Liangshan is not under the jurisdiction of Dongchang Prefecture.

There is a conspiracy! Ximen Qing thought secretly.

Then Ximen Qing looked at Wu Yong and Tao Qian and asked.

Wu Yong and Tao Qian looked at each other, with a little confused expression, and then shook their heads.

Seeing that the two military advisors had no clue, Ximen Qing became silent and began to think seriously.

Everything happens with a reason. Things that do without a reason are idiotic behavior. So there is definitely a reason for Dongchang Mansion to come!

Did you know that Liangshan County was captured and came to rescue?

Ximen Qing quickly ruled out this possibility!

You should know that Lin Chong took down Liangshan County in the early morning. Only a day has passed. In addition, Liangshan County is not a big city, and the people in the city have already trusted Liangshan, so the news of Liangshan County being captured will take at least four or five days to reach Tokyo. Therefore, Yang Bufeng could not have come to suppress the bandits because of the fall of Liangshan County.

It’s not because of this reason, so what else can it be? Could it be that Yang Bufeng really wanted to lead 50,000 troops to encircle and suppress it in order to kill Ximen Qing?

Ximen Qing ruled out this possibility again.

Let’s not talk about whether Yang Bufeng was on a whim. Even the 50,000 soldiers were not what Yang Bufeng wanted to do. You should know that the military power of Dongchang Mansion was in the hands of Zhang Wenyuan. Yang Bufeng wanted to steal the military power from Mr. Zhang, which was simply an international joke. Yang Jian may not have this ability.

Neither came to rescue or revenge, why did Yang Bufeng lead his troops? And where did he get 50,000 troops?

Finally, Ximen Qing shook his head and buried the doubts in his heart. No matter how doubtful it is, it has become a fact that the army came to suppress the enemy. Now is not the time to care about the reasons. How to resist Yang Bufeng’s 50,000 troops is the top priority now.

Li Kui was right. Yang Bufeng dared to encircle and suppress them. Then he would beat them to make them urinate and let them know how powerful Liangshan is.

At this time, Ximen Qing slapped the table and shouted: "Everyone obeys the order!"

Brush... All the personnel stood solemnly, but they all had excited expressions. Because they knew that Liangshan would face a 50,000 army to suppress them next, and they would be able to send troops to fight, and they would no longer have to fight for the sake of fighting.

Ximen Qing said: "The plan to attack Lin County is temporarily shelved. Now the entire army is strengthening its speed training and gathering to stand by in one day! Dear brothers, what we are facing next are the elites of Dongchang Prefecture, not the small millet shrimps in small places like Liangshan County, Lin County!"

"Yes, leader!" Everyone responded with fists.

Ximen Qing said again: "Everyone goes out and prepare, by the way, Dai Zong, Yue Fei, Ling Zhen stay!"

Everyone then got up and left the Juyi Hall.

There were only eight people left in the lively hall just now.

Ximen Qing asked Dai Zong and Yue Fei and Ling Zhen to sit down, and then said to Dai Zong and Yue Fei: "Dai Zong, Yue Fei, you will go to Dongchang Prefecture tomorrow to investigate the enemy situation. Be careful to pay attention to safety. Be sure to investigate why Dongchang Prefecture sent troops. If you have any trouble, you might as well go to Zhang Qing and explain his identity to him. He will help you! In addition, you must also investigate who is the commander and how many generals are under the tent. Report the details of the Dongchang Prefecture Army to me in detail!"

"Don't worry, commander, we will definitely complete the task!" Dai Zong and Yue Fei said with their fists. Then, the two of them retreated.

At this time, Ling Zhen couldn't sit still and asked hurriedly: "Commander, what's the point of keeping me?"

Ling Zhen was about forty years old and was very kind-hearted, but because of his years of exposure to gunpowder, his face turned almost black and looked a little funny. He was originally an expert in the imperial firearms, but later Wu Yong took action himself and used some tricks to successfully earn him up the mountain.

In the past few days, Ling Zhen has been staying in Liangshan to make artillery, and there is nothing else to do. He is only focused on artillery and turns a blind eye to things outside the window. Even when drinking at parties, he only drinks and eats, and rarely talks with people. Now that Ximen Qing keeps him, he feels a little panicked and is puzzled.

Looking at Ling Zhen's slightly restrained expression, Ximen Qing smiled, then walked out of his seat, sat next to Ling Zhen, and then said with a smile: "Brother Ling, Brother Liangshan is a family, you will naturally go up the mountain, then we are our own brothers, don't look too restrictive."

Ling Zhen smiled awkwardly, scratched his head, and said, "Haha, let the commander see you."

Ximen Qing asked, "By the way, Brother Ling, how many artillery do we have in Liangshan now?"

When talking about artillery, Ling Zhen was excited and hurriedly said, "If you go back to the commander, now we have twenty artillery and more than one hundred shells in Liangshan."

"So little?" Ximen Qing was a little disappointed.

The artillery referred to here is very rough, bulky, and inconsistently transported. It is far from the small artillery of modern times. Moreover, the artillery has a slow launch speed. If a shell is shot out, you have not yet installed a second shell, and the cavalry has already ridden a horse to kill. Moreover, the range of the artillery shells is close, which is also a huge disadvantage.

Hearing Ximen Qing's words, Ling Zhen rolled his eyes and said, "Commander, the artillery technology is very particular. If it can be as simple as forging knives, it would be happiness."

Ximen Qing smiled and said, "Haha, I'm wrong. By the way, Brother Ling, I want to install cannons all around Liangshan and build a sentry water village in the water pools. Well, one in ten miles, and there are also cannons on it to ensure the safety of Liangshan. How many cannons do you need?"

Ling Zhen was stunned, then reached out to calculate, then swallowed, and said, "At least, you need a thousand artillery!"

"The rivers of Liangshan are our foundation and must be protected. Although the navy is now built, its combat effectiveness is very low. As long as the enemy's large ships come to suppress them, they can drive straight into Liangshan! Therefore, artillery defense is essential. If you need a thousand aircraft, you will have a thousand aircraft! But it will take hard work for Brother Ling! If you can do it, I will hold a celebration banquet for you in the Juyi Hall, how about?" Ximen Qingyu said earnestly.

"I will definitely not be humiliated!" Ling Zhen hurriedly clasped his fists and said.

"Then thank you Brother Ling!" Ximen Qing patted Ling Zhen on the shoulder and said with a smile.

Then, Ling Zhen also retreated.

Ximen Qing rubbed his eyebrows, then glanced at Chao Gai, Wu Yong, Tao Qian, and Song Jiang behind him, and looked at the Liangshan topographic map hanging on the wall on the hall. Ximen Qing sighed: "Liangshan is our foundation, and I wish I could form an air force to protect its safety!"

"Air Force?" Chao Gai, who was standing beside him, said angrily: "Brother, are you thinking crazy? Are you going to find birdmen?"

"Haha..." Song Jiang also smiled and said, "The bird man can't be found, but you, the bear man, are standing here."

"Look for a fight!" Chao Gai cursed angrily.

At this time, Wu Yong nodded and said, "Emperor Yi is right. If conditions permit, he can form a bird air force, then my safety in Liangshan will be worry-free."

"Is the Bird Air Force?" Tao Qian shook his head, "It's not easy to find a giant eagle that can fly without people, let alone a group of people. Air troops? It can only be a fantasy."

"Maybe it will be realized in future generations." Ximen Qing murmured to himself, his expression a little misty, and I don't know where I thought of it.

After a while, Ximen Qing reacted and then returned to the topic, saying: "This time the attack on Dongchang Prefecture is an opportunity and a challenge. Whether we can successfully capture the 50,000 troops of Dongchang Prefecture determines whether we can be recruited in the future. However, now we don't know the enemy's situation at all, and it is a bit too early to make a plan rashly. I think it's better to wait for the news of Yue Fei's investigation. What do you think?"

"Brother is right. The situation is unclear now, so I can only take one step and see one step!" Chao Gai nodded.

Wu Yong also nodded and said, "That's right. But we must prepare food, grass, military weapons and other matters in advance."

After Wu Yongyi finished speaking, Ximen Qing, Chao Gai, Song Jiang and Tao Qian stared at him.

Wu Yong was stunned for a moment and said angrily: "Okay, okay, leave this matter to me."

Ximen Qing waved his hand and said, "Since the cadet wants to deal with it, then we are basically fine. Let's take a walk and go back to the room to rest. Haha..."

As he said that, he left first.

Then Wu Yong's laughter and scolding came from behind him.
