Goguryeo's geographical location is excellent, and it can be used as a retreat or a springboard for an expedition to Fusang. If Yang Mu fails, he can retreat to Goguryeo, or if it fails, he can retreat to Fusang.

Before you seek victory, seek defeat first!

Think carefully before doing something and consider the pros and cons. The converse meaning of this sentence is that since you have prepared for the worst and accepted the worst consequences, you can do it boldly and confidently.

Just as Yang Mu was preparing his troops, Zhao Song sent another envoy to ask for Gao Qiu. Yang Mu then remembered that Gao Qiu was being treated as an ordinary citizen in the prison of Qingzhou Prefecture. Yang Mu quickly asked someone to remove Gao Qiu from the prison.

At this time, Gao Qiu had been tortured to the point of being reduced to human form. He fully realized the power of the prison officials and the terror of Yang Mu. After seeing Yang Mu, Gao Qiu was so frightened that he trembled subconsciously.

.

Yang Mu did not let Gao Qiu meet the envoy first, but met Gao Qiu alone. There is no need for smart people to talk to each other. When Yang Mu placed a bowl of refined salt in front of Gao Qiu, Gao Qiu thought a lot. Yang Mu did not wait.

Gao Qiu thought too much, so he told Gao Qiu what had happened recently, and then asked Gao Qiu to open up sales in Zhao and Song Dynasties.

Adults only talk about pros and cons, not right and wrong, and the same is true for campers like Gao Qiu.

"What's the price of this refined salt?" Gao Qiu asked in a deep voice.

"The market price is the same as that of coarse salt, but a certain company doesn't charge any money, just grain, herbs, iron ore, saltpeter, sulfur, etc..." Yang Mu listed many minerals in a general way, just to deceive others and confuse their sight.

"How much refined salt is there?" Gao Qiu's pupils shrank and he couldn't help asking again.

"You can have as much as you want." Yang Mu still said unhurriedly.

Gao Qiu Shuangpi squinted again. He had already considered the value of refined salt, not only the economic value, but also the political value. For a gangster like Gao Qiu, the political value is far greater than the economic value. Of course, what Gao Qiu wants to do most is

The only thing is to kill Yang Mu and control the technology and the entire industrial chain. But the current situation does not allow it, at least not until Liangshan is injured.

"A certain family also has a request that Captain Gao will agree to, which is to provide the families of the captured Forbidden Army with food and grass for three years," Yang Mu said.

The "hundred-thousand-thousand-strong army" who followed Gao Qiu was a necessary labor force. Of course, Yang Mu could not let them go. Not only could he not let them go, he would also have to ask for his family members and food.

Gao Qiu understood that this was a prerequisite for cooperation and could only do his best. In this way, Yang Mu handed Gao Qiu over to Zhao Song's envoy. As for whether Gao Qiu would help Yang Mu develop the market, Yang Mu actually didn't care too much.

, if Gao Qiu can't do it, there are others, Yang Mu can completely use sea ships to transport his own products by sea to Liangzhe Road and Jiangnan area.

After sending Gao Qiu away, Yang Mu also remembered that the green-faced beast Yang Zhi was also in the prison camp and was arranged to open up wasteland. Yang Mu quickly asked people to capture the green-faced beast Yang Zhi and put him under house arrest.

In the small courtyard, there was good food, drink, and hospitality, but you couldn't leave the small courtyard, and the guards guarding the small courtyard were asked to keep an eye on Yang Zhi at all times to prevent him from committing suicide.

Hu Yanzhuo, Kong Ming, Kong Liang, Li Zhong, Shi En and others were also summoned by Yang Mu and given generous support to senior officials. They had no real power at all. Apart from Hu Yanzhuo, these people had nothing.

Dazhi, what he likes the most is drinking from a big bowl, eating a lot of meat, and sharing money on a big scale. Yang Mu is also satisfying them in disguise by doing this.

As for Hu Yanzhuo, once he was demoted, he did not have the confidence to stand up to Yang Mu. Seeing Li Zhong and others acting like this, Hu Yanzhuo also became a wealthy and high-ranking official with no real power.

With so many people at hand, Yang Mu didn't care much about Li Kui anymore. Song Jiang wrote letters asking for Li Kui many times. Yang Mu simply cured Li Kui and drove him away and let him return to Song Jiang.

Yang Mu did this because he was afraid that Yang Zhi and the others would die. If all the 106 villains among the 100 and 8 generals in Liangshan died, the mission would be over. Yang Mu did not want to return so early.

The Song Dynasty built a strong man, prevented the Jingkang disaster from happening, and prevented the people from being massacred by foreign tribes.

In the following time, Yang Mugou rose up and developed. He launched a wool war against Liao, dumped refined salt, soap and other commodities, and purchased war horses and various minerals on a large scale; he launched an attack on North Korea, plundered the population, and filled up his own population shortage; he launched a war against Zhao and Song

They built advanced warships and merchant ships, dumped goods to Zhao and Song Dynasty, and purchased all kinds of minerals.

The interior is to reclaim wasteland, recuperate, and at the same time increase efforts to develop thermal weapons. With the batch equipment of rear-mounted flintlocks and artillery, Yang Mu's Guizhou Army has transformed from an army in the Ice Age to a modern army using thermal weapons.

The army's combat power increased greatly.

All this was done in secret. Although the imperial court paid attention to Yang Mu, it focused more attention on the Liangshan army. During this period, the Liangshan army showed its prowess and splendor.

The Liangshan army first attacked Hebei Tianhu and easily wiped out the Hebei Tianhu. Instead of being praised by the court, it aroused the imperial court's fear. The court immediately asked the Liangshan army to attack Wang Qing in Huaixi. Song Jiang had no choice but to lead his army south to Huaihe.

Xi, once again easily wiped out Wang Qing of Huaixi. Such a great achievement was still not commended by the court because it aroused greater fear from the court.

This time, everyone in Liangshan couldn't sit down anymore and started making noises. Song Jiang suppressed everyone's emotions with strong pressure. At this time, everyone in Liangshan already felt something was wrong. Lin Chong directly found an opportunity to leave the Liangshan army.

Come to Qingzhou Mansion to join Yang Mu.

Following Lin Chong's move, Li Ying, the Flying Eagle, Zhu Tong, Xiao Zhelan, Mu Chun, Ruan Xiaoqi and others also joined forces and prepared to leave the Liangshan army and go to Qingzhou to join Yang Mu, but they were stopped by Song Jiang.

Song Jiang saw that people were dissatisfied and it was difficult to lead the team, so he quickly tried to persuade him. Unfortunately, the Liangshan generals said they were heroes, but in fact they were all selfish and only cared about their own interests. In the past, they had no choice but to be killed.

Song Jiang was wrapped up in the general trend and the overall situation. Now that they have a choice, they will not listen to you.

If it can bring benefits to yourself, then call him Gongming brother. If it doesn't bring benefits, then turn your back and deny others. This is the real world, this is the real Liangshan hero. If you don't care for yourself, you will be destroyed by heaven and earth!

After Song Jiang's kind words and persuasion, some people decided to give Song Jiang face and reluctantly stayed, while others were determined to leave. The people who decided to leave were surprisingly members of the former Liangshan creditor Chao Gai's group.

Seeing that his good words and persuasion were ineffective, Song Jiang had no choice but to resort to iron-blooded methods and used the heads of six Liangshan heroes to frighten the people in Liangshan. The people in Liangshan were silent for a while. From then on, they would no longer treat Song Jiang as an elder brother, but as soldiers and horses.

All are in charge.

This is the second internal conflict since Song Jiang entered Liangshan. The first internal conflict was when Chao Gai and King Chao Tian were killed with a borrowed knife. However, this was done secretly and no evidence could be found. Although Chao Gai’s troops among the generals in Liangshan were in their hearts,

There are many, but there is nothing you can do.

But this time the internal strife was on the surface. Song Jiang had great power and a large army at his disposal. He took this opportunity to frighten the Liangshan generals.

Song Jiang knew that people's hearts were completely lost, but Song Jiang had no choice. For the sake of his own future, Song Jiang gathered some confidants and asked his confidants to look after the generals. Then, with the generals wrapped up, he led his army south to attack Fang La.
