Episode 405: Departure

Hearing Ximen Qing’s question, Wu Yong beside him smiled and said, “It’s all done, all 140,000 prisoners are ready, just waiting for you to assign them to the camp!”

Ximen Qing nodded, rubbed his hands, and laughed and said, "Since that's the case, let's divide it now. Now, except for the Modao Camp, the Thorn Camp, the Assault Camp, and the Shield Camp in Liao, the rest of the battalions gathered in Liangshan. In this case, the Leopard Camp, the Feather Camp, the Eagle Camp, the Fire Camp, the Qinglong Dao Camp, the Hook and Scythe Camp, the Double Gun Camp, the Elephant Camp, the Bear Camp, the Wolf Camp, and the Mastiff Camp, each increased by 10,000 people, from the original 15,000 people to 25,000 people. The remaining 30,000 people will be led by Suo Chao to form a new battalion of "Heavy Hammer Camp". As for the rest of the battalions, the rest will be included in the battalions of the navy. Do you have any objections to this distribution?"

Everyone laughed and shook their heads.

However, Wu Yong looked at Suo Chao and smiled and said, "Brother Suo, your heavy hammer camp is full of prisoners. Although the prisoners have surrendered to Liangshan with conscience, it is difficult to be a little temper. As the leader, you should be careful, haha..."

Suo Chao patted his chest excitedly and said, "Don't worry, the commander trusts me so much. I, Suo Chao, will definitely train the heavy hammer camp, it won't be disappointed to the commander!"

Ximen Qing nodded and said, "If Brother Suo says this, then we will feel at ease!"

At this time, Guan Sheng stroked his beard and asked, "Commander, when will we set out to wipe out Zhao Yunzhen?"

"Yes, commander, when will you set off?"

"Yes, I'm anxious and my hands are itchy!"

......

Looking at the anxious expressions of everyone, Ximen Qing smiled and said, "It's not urgent now. Now the prisoners have just entered the camp. You still need to continue to practice to allow them to integrate into the collective so that they can send troops. When facing the enemy, the battalions can exert their true strength, right? What's more, it's not the best time to send troops. Scholars, I ask you, what's the news in the world now? Is there any news in Tokyo?"

When Wu Yong heard this, he shook his head and said, "I have been patronizing the education prisoners these days, and I haven't paid much attention to the news in the world. You should ask Yue Fei and Dai Zong!"

Ximen Qing nodded and looked at Yue Fei and Dai Zong.

Yue Fei and Dai Zong got up and walked out. They clasped their fists and heard Yue Fei say, "Master, there has indeed been a big event in Tokyo this month, and there is a saying circulating in the world!"

When Ximen Qing heard this, he suddenly felt excited and asked, "Speak quickly!"

Yue Fei nodded and said, "According to the spies in the capital, the officials in the capital have been constantly assassinated, and almost all corrupt officials under the third rank have been killed. Even the important officials above the third rank have been assassinated. And I heard that many ancient stone tablets were dug out in the land of the capital, with the words engraved on them, which said that Zhao Yunzhen was a sinner who plotted against Zhao Yunzhen, and everyone was killed. So now there is a saying in the world that is circulating in the world, which is 'Those who kill Zhao Yunzhen will win the world'! Because of this sentence, Zhao Yunzhen killed thousands of people, causing the people in the capital to panic."

At this time, Dai Zong also added: "There are still many small rebel forces that continue to rise up and respond to our Liangshan call to attack Zhao Yunzhen. Moreover, the princes in the capital are also ready to move and do not accept Zhao Yunzhen. It seems that they will raise troops."

Ximen Qing nodded, smiled and said, "Sure enough!"

At this time, Yue Fei said, "Commander, are the righteous men who assassinated corrupt officials from our Liangshan? And the ancient stone tablet dug out, is it your idea?"

The news that Lu Fang and the other four led the dead soldiers to Tokyo was extremely hidden, and even the leader of Liangshan knew very little.

Ximen Qing nodded, and then told everyone about his actions to send Lu Fang and the other four. After hearing Ximen Qing's words, everyone gave a thumbs up.

Qin Ming said: "The commander is smart. He can attack remotely without sending troops. Tsk tsk, Zhao Yunti is not angry yet!"

"Yes, Zhao Yunzhen hates the most now, and the one he wants to kill the most is the commander, haha..." Xu Ning also laughed.

Ximen Qing waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't gloat. Come back and train the soldiers as soon as possible. Let's send troops earlier. Scholars, please assign personnel."

Wu Yong nodded and said, "Leave it to me!" As he said that, he and many leaders left the Juyi Hall.

In the next few days, the Liangshan army fell into endless hard training. Among them, Suo Chao's "Heavy Hammer Camp" was the most focused. His battalion was all captive soldiers and the most likely to have problems, so Suo Chao did not dare to neglect it. Instead, he adopted high-intensity training, abundant supplies, and education in class to mobilize their enthusiasm for training, and make them wholeheartedly protect the safety of Liangshan with the belief of treating Liangshan as their home.

This training took more than ten days. After the battalions were ready and the heavy hammer camp was on track, Ximen Qing finally issued an order to send troops.

Ximen Qing led the Hook and Scythe Camp, Eagle Camp, Bear Camp and Wolf Camp as a team, passing through Daming Mansion and heading directly to the north city gate of Tokyo. Guan Sheng and Song Jiang led the Qinglong Dadao Camp, the Liehuo Camp, and the Yu Camp surrounded the west and attacked the west city gate of Tokyo. Wu Yong led the Liehuo Camp, the Xiang Camp, the Mastiff Camp, and the Heavy Hammer Camp from the east to head towards the east city gate of Tokyo. As for the Yanluo Camp and the navy, they were left to Liangshan to protect the safety of Liangshan.

After an order was reached, the Central Army quickly prepared food, chariots, horses, and items, and then divided into three groups to attack Tokyo.

Along the way, the three armies were unstoppable and soon drove for half of the journey, only three or four years away from Tokyo.

Zhao Yunzhen, who was far away in Tokyo, had already learned about the situation where Ximen Qing led the troops to come. Therefore, Zhao Yunzhen was anxious to discuss with the important officials such as Cai Jing, Yang Jian, and Su Yuanjing.

Zhao Yunzhen wore a dragon robe, a dragon boot, a dragon crown, and a dragon chaise. His expression was extremely solemn, and his every move was domineering. However, his eyebrows slightly frowned, adding a bit of sorrow to his domineering expression.

Zhao Yunzhen glanced at everyone, then threw the memorial in his hand on the dragon case, and then snorted: "The rioter Ximen Qing led 300,000 attacks. According to time, you can reach outside Tokyo in a few days. My dear friends, do you have a plan to suppress the enemy?"

Cai Jing and others looked at each other, feeling very distressed and dared not speak.

Originally, Zhao Yunsheng had hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands, but after the conquering Fang La, Zhao Yunsheng only had more than 300,000 troops left. Later, Gao Qiu was sent to conquer Liangshan, and lost another 200,000. Now Zhao Yunsheng only has more than 100,000 elite imperial guards left. Although he could mobilize more than 100,000 troops from the surrounding areas, the more than 100,000 troops were garbage local troops, which could not be compared with the Liangshan army at all.

Everyone hesitated for a while and said, "Your Majesty, the thieves are attacking fiercely in three groups, and their momentum is unstoppable. As far as Xiaguan sees, we should defend the city of Tokyo. With the strong walls of the capital, the enemy will be difficult to break even if it is 300,000, not to mention 300,000, even 400,000!"

Zhao Yunti snorted, "Is that so? Have you forgotten how I captured Tokyo? What's more, defending the city wall is a very shameful and humiliating! If this spreads all over the world, how can I face the people of the world?"

Yang Jian was so scared that he knelt down and shouted, "Damn it!" At the same time, he thought in his heart, who else in the world of Song Dynasty regards you as a real emperor? He has made you a traitor who is trying to seize the throne!

At this time, Su Yuanjing said: "What Your Majesty said is that defending Tokyo City is not a long-term solution. Your Majesty can hear that Ximen Qing mastered a small exquisite cannon, which is several times more powerful than that of large cannons. It has a long range and small size, so he wants to carry it. It is a brand new siege tool. According to the spies, it was said that when Ximen Qing's army attacked Youzhou, it used more than a dozen artillery guns to bomb one after another, and almost no force was used to take down Youzhou City. Therefore, defending the capital City is not a good plan."

Cai Jing responded: "Then according to Su Taiwei's intention, should we take the initiative to attack and wipe out the enemy?"

Su Yuanjing shook his head and said, "Go back to Your Majesty, there are many foreign dead soldiers in the capital at this time. These dead soldiers are hidden among the people, all of whom are spying on the Tokyo of the officials and the court. If Your Majesty leads a large army to fight, it is likely that these dead soldiers will have an opportunity to take advantage of them. Although they cannot make any big waves, they are in our hearts. This may lead to an unexpected accident due to a small carelessness!"

Zhao Yunzhen said: "According to your opinion, we should take the initiative to send troops, but we must completely eliminate the dead soldiers in the capital, right?"

Su Yuanjing said: "Go back to Your Majesty, that's what I mean."

Zhao Yunzhen nodded, then said to Su Yuanjing: "Okay! Su Yuanjing, I will give you this opportunity. You can send people at will to clean up all the treacherous thieves in the capital and give me a peaceful world!"

Su Yuanjing clasped his fists and shouted, "Yes!"

Afterwards, Zhao Yunzhen waved his hand and asked everyone to retreat.

After everyone stepped down, three old men suddenly appeared in the imperial study room.

The three old men all had white long gowns, and you can tell at a glance that they were elders of Kunlun.

Zhao Yunzhen said: "Three elders, please let you take action and bring back the heads of Ximen Qing, Lin Chong, Guan Sheng, Zhu Wu, Wu Yong and others! The troops are divided into three groups? Humph, kill their leader first, I see how arrogant these thieves are!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" the three of them said with their fists.

At this time, one of them hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, Lao Wu and Lao Liu have not returned since they assassinated Ximen Qing. In my opinion, there is so much danger. So it is certain that Ximen Qing must be protected by masters. So I think you should send it back to Kunlun and ask the head sect to send the great elders and the second elders and the third elders down the mountain!"

Zhao Yunzhen frowned and said, "Fourth Elders, you are right. But Kunlun is not mine, and I can't send it by the sect. Kunlun's rules are there, and I can't disobey it. This time I will trouble the fourth elder, seventh elder, and eighth elder!"

The three of them nodded, and did not speak anymore, but flashed and retreated.
