"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Dengzhou City was destroyed!

In order to rush for time, Yang Mu did not bother to hide and tease, and directly used explosive packs to blast open the city wall of Dengzhou Mansion. As soon as the city wall was broken, the defenders collapsed. Yang Mu immediately led his troops into the city and occupied Dengzhou.

Military control was immediately implemented after the state capital.

Conquering the surrendered troops, opening warehouses to release grain, ransacking homes for public trials, dividing fields, expanding the army, etc. were all proceeding in an orderly manner. After Yang Mu had completely secured a stable position in Dengzhou City, he summoned Shi En and asked Shi En to

En led his men to be responsible for the civil affairs of Dengzhou. At the same time, Yang Mu also asked Shi En to be responsible for purchasing war horses from the Liao Kingdom.

Later, after Yang Mu left a force of foreign troops to garrison Dengzhou, he went straight to Mizhou with his troops. Before leaving, Yang Mu specifically told Shi En not to be afraid of spending money, and he could buy as many horses as he could.

The important thing about horses is to open up channels. With horses, you can save time and make communication smoother and more convenient, and you can take advantage of Yang Mu's rule.

At this time, Liangshan was still confronting Zhao Song's soldiers and horses. Although Taiwei Su Yuanjing knew that the soldiers were very fast and knew that Gao Qiu had been captured, Zhao Song's system determined that Taiwei Su Yuanjing had to report everything about such major events.

The Zhao Song official family wasted a lot of time this time.

Yang Mu took advantage of this time to come to Mizhou, easily captured Mizhou City, and then continued the previous operations.

As soon as Yang Mu captured the city of Mizhou, Shi En sent forty war horses and told Yang Mu that he had opened up channels to buy horses in the Liao Kingdom, but the boats in Dengzhou were not good and could not carry too many horses.

Forty horses were first sent for emergency use.

Yang Mu did not choose one of them as a mount, but divided ten of the forty horses to the scouts, and the remaining thirty horses were matched to Dengzhou Prefecture, Mizhou Prefecture and Qingzhou Prefecture for Xin to use.

In this way, Qingzhou Prefecture, Dengzhou Prefecture and Mizhou Prefecture can be quickly and closely connected.

Yang Mu had just established a foothold in Mizhou Mansion when Lu Zhishen hurried to Mizhou Mansion on horseback.

"Brother Zhishen, why are you here?" Yang Mu asked quickly.

The arrival of Lu Zhishen made Yang Mu break out in a cold sweat, thinking that Qingzhou was lost.

"The person from Liangshan is still Wu Yong. Wu Yong wanted to talk to you in detail in person. Wu Yong also persuaded the Sa family to join the group. The Sa family was so troubled that they hid." Lu Zhishen said carelessly.

"What about Qingzhou Mansion?" Yang Mu said with a slight sigh of relief.

"Your brother Wu Da is here. The Sa family noticed that you are similar in stature and appearance to your brother, so the Sa family asked your brother Wu Da to pretend to be you and sit in Qingzhou. There shouldn't be anything wrong within three or two days." Lu Zhishen said.

"Brother, please stay in Mizhou. Brother, I will go back and stay in Qingzhou. What we have to do now is to resume production and recuperate. Brother, don't start the war lightly. Just make sure that Mizhou is not lost." After Yang Mu finished speaking, he led the way.

The private soldiers went first, and the large army followed slowly.

Under Yang Mu's rule, an inherent work process has been formed, and there are dedicated personnel to take care of trivial matters. Lu Zhishen only needs to sit in Mizhou Prefecture. Besides, looking at the entire Jingdong East Road, there are only four prefectures of Yizhou, Laizhou, Weizhou and Zizhou.

With limited troops and lax armaments, they could not pose a threat to Yang Mu at all.

Yang Mu hurriedly returned to Qingzhou Mansion. As soon as Yang Mu returned to Qingzhou Mansion, he was completely relieved to see that Qingzhou Mansion was developing in an orderly manner.

After Yang Mu first met with Wu Da and Pan Jinlian, he met with Wu Yong. Wu Yong was also familiar with Yang Mu's work style. As soon as they met, he went straight to the point and hoped that Yang Mu would join Liangshan. In this way, Liangshan could ask for more information from the court.

Many benefits.

"Sir, what you said is wrong. Brother Gongming's Liangshan is on Jingdong East Road, and a certain family's Erlongshan is on Jingdong East Road. The more a certain family makes trouble on Jingdong East Road, the more Gongming brother can ask the court for a price."

Yang Mu said.

Wu Yong was stunned. He only thought about persuading Yang Mu to join Liangshan in order to strengthen Liangshan's prestige and ask for more benefits from the court. However, he did not expect that the more fierce Yang Mu made, the more benefits he could ask for from the court.

Good thing, but Wu Yong began to be vaguely afraid of Yang Mu.

The last time we met was at Erlong Mountain. Now that Yang Mu has captured Qingzhou Mansion, his power and strength are getting stronger and stronger. Liangshan was originally strong and Erlongshan was weak, but now they are somewhat on equal footing.

"A certain family will not let Mr. Wu Yong go in vain. In this way, a certain family can join Liangshan in name, which is a face to brother Wu Yong and brother Gongming. However, a certain family will never accept the recruitment. Brother Gongming believes that

The imperial court, but no one will believe a word of the imperial court." Yang Mu said in a deep voice.

"Brother, what do you mean?" Wu Yong was dumbfounded and didn't understand what Yang Mu meant.

"It's very simple. Listen to the tune but not the propaganda. Just be a local bully on Jingdong East Road." Yang Mu said.

"This... the court won't allow it," Wu Yong said.

"If you don't allow it, then let Brother Gongming hurt the court. If the court allows it, a certain family is doing this for Brother Gongming, Mr. Wu Yong and all the brothers in Liangshan. If a certain family is torturing Jingdong East Road, the court will not do that.

This is what a certain family is guarding against. Mr. Wu Yong is not willing to be loyal to the court but end up in a dead end, right?" Yang Mu asked rhetorically.

"This is impossible, isn't it? With Taizu's act of drinking wine to release his military power, it is impossible for the officials to do such a chilling thing, right?" Wu Yong said with some uncertainty.

"The reason why Zhao Kuangyin released his military power with a glass of wine was because Shi Shouxin and others were too powerful. If they tried to impose military power, the troubled times of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms would reappear. Therefore, Zhao Kuangyin used a glass of wine to release his military power."

"What now? Liangshan is very powerful, but to the imperial court, it is very weak. The imperial court believes that sending a large army to encircle and suppress people is too laborious and wastes money. It is better to recruit security, which saves trouble, saves money and effort, and allows Liangshan to be used by the imperial court. If the imperial court moves

To be honest, Liangshan is no match for the imperial court."

"Therefore, the imperial court will not have such a psychological burden in the future when it tries to cook rabbits to death. Brother Gongming believes in the imperial court. Even if Zhao Song officials give him poisonous wine, he will drink it and trick his brothers into drinking it. Mr. Wu Yong

Are you willing to do this with all the brothers? But what can you do if you don’t have a certain intention?"

"It's different if a certain family is here. If a certain family stays on Jingdong East Road, the court will not dare to do this. But Mr. Wu Yong, brother Gongming and all the brothers still have a way out. This is what a certain family means,

Please also ask Mr. Wu Yong to relay it to brother Gongming." Yang Mu said in a deep voice.

Wu Yong thought for a while and felt that it would be good to leave a way out. On the way back, he unconsciously stood on Yang Mu's side and began to think about how to persuade Song Jiang.

After Yang Mu deceived Wu Yong, he took charge of the overall situation in Qingzhou and ordered Lu Zhishen to raise troops to attack Yizhou, Laizhou, Weizhou and Zizhou.

Since Yang Mu's troops represented the interests of the lower class people, when Lu Zhishen launched his troops to attack the Zhongzhou Prefecture, he encountered firm resistance from the four prefectures. The upper-level resistance was resolute, and so was the lower-level resistance. The upper-level wanted to eliminate Yang Mu's

The lower level surrendered to Yang Mu's army.

The main reason is that the standing armies of the four prefectures of Yizhou, Laizhou, Weizhou and Zizhou are the Xiang Army. The Xiang Army is called an army, but in fact it is a miscellaneous soldier. It is similar to a labor camp. It has the meaning of building a corps in later generations, but

Arms are also extremely lax, they rarely participate in battles, and their living standards are not as good as those of ordinary people.

What these Xiang soldiers are looking forward to most is that Yang Mu's army will come, and then they can open warehouses to put grain, divide the fields, and get a piece of land for them to go home and farm, and then their wives and children can warm up to the kang.

It can be said that Lu Zhishen's attack on the four state capitals of Yizhou, Laizhou, Weizhou and Zizhou was equivalent to going through a process. Everywhere he arrived, without attacking the city, the Xiang army defending the city simply ran away and disappeared.
