Water Margin: You dog official, you still say you don’t know martial arts?

Chapter 790 Qin Ming: I'm not afraid of anything! I have the courage of ten thousand men! [1 more]

But Liu Gao thought about it and felt that there was a problem, even though he knew that the Liao Kingdom did send troops in the original book.

So Liu Gao urgently summoned all the generals to discuss the matter, and even Huang Wenbing crossed the river to attend the meeting.

Except Li Gang.

Dai Zong told the generals about the incident again. Liu Gao asked:
"Do you think this is odd?"

The generals looked at each other, and Yue Fei was the first to speak:

"Brother, how dare Liao attack Song?
"Aren't they afraid that the Jin Kingdom will attack them from behind?

"Aren't they afraid of being attacked from both sides?"

"General Nine is right!"

Xu Ning agrees:

"Isn't Liao afraid of the alliance between Song and Jin?"

Huang Wenbing stroked his goatee and shook his head as he said:

"Unless Liao and Jin reach an agreement..."

"hiss--"

Upon hearing Huang Wenbing's words, Yue Fei's face changed:
"Colonel Huang means that Liao and Jin have reached an agreement to attack Song together and divide the world equally?"

"Not bad!"

Huang Wenbing nodded:
"Liao and Jin are two tigers fighting each other, one of them will be injured!
“What if the two tigers don’t fight, but agree to compete together?
"The State of Song is big enough to satisfy their appetite!"

"not good!"

Yue Fei got anxious when he heard this:

"The Song State may not know how dangerous this is. Let's send someone to inform the court!"

Although he had followed Liu Gao, Yue Fei still had a sense of family and country.

Liu Gao waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, Ninth Brother.

“It’s just a possibility, but I don’t think it’s right…

"Is there any other possibility?"

The generals were talking about it, but it was all in vain. Only Huang Wenbing winked and said mysteriously:

"Brother, I have something to say but I don't know whether I should say it or not..."

You're still talking to me about this?
Liu Gao rolled his eyes at him and said, "You can say whatever you want."

Huang Wenbing chuckled and said, "Brother, I'm worried that this is a trap set by the imperial court to destroy Liangshanpo."

Liu Gao frowned: "It's too detailed."

Huang Wenbing took out his folding fan and waved it while saying:

"Brothers, I have long wondered what the court's intention was in placing us in Cangzhou.

"It is of course the greatest possibility that we can serve as a shield for the imperial court and stop the Liao and Jin soldiers.

"But is there a possibility that they also wanted to use the Liao and Jin soldiers to get rid of us?

"This time the imperial court asked us to stop the Liao soldiers. In my opinion, it is possible that the imperial court and the Liao Kingdom have reached some kind of agreement and want to use the Liao soldiers to get rid of us!
“It is true that they may stop the Liao army, but the imperial court will also take this opportunity to attack Cangzhou!

"After luring the tiger away from the mountain and taking us away, the imperial court took Cangzhou and cut off our retreat!
“And no matter whether we win or lose, we will definitely be badly injured after stopping the Liao soldiers!

"By that time, if the imperial court has already laid a net in Cangzhou, waiting for us to fall into it..."

Liu Gao's face changed: He is worthy of being called "Wasp Sting", and every angle he considers things is indeed a vicious scheme!
But I have to say that what Huang Wenbing said makes sense, if there is such a vicious scholar in the court.

In fact, Liu Gao had also thought about this, but not as viciously as Huang Wenbing thought...

quiet!
After Huang Wenbing finished speaking, the hall fell silent, and most people's eyes were clear:
(⊙ω⊙)(⊙ω⊙)(⊙ω⊙)
Only a few people frowned in thought, and soon everyone frowned:

(ー`ー)(ー`ー)(ー`ー)
"I just said a possibility."

Huang Wenbing shook his head again:

"If the court does this, it will lose the support of the people, so it may not be possible..."

"Will not!"

Zhu Tong was a man of some intelligence. He just showed the imperial edict brought by Dai Zong.

After listening to Huang Wenbing's analysis, Zhu Tong refuted:

"The imperial edict clearly states that Huang's interpretation is unreasonable!" "How could the imperial court deceive us on a matter that concerns the survival of the country?"

Huang Wenbing laughed dryly twice: "General Zhu, don't worry, I'm just asking if there is a possibility."

Zhu Tong didn't say anything else, but he still felt that the emperor was so eloquent, how could he lie in his imperial edict?

Liu Gao looked around and found that many people still had some illusions about the imperial court:

The imperial court is rotten, but it can’t be rotten to this extent, right?
These people had not yet experienced the beatings from the imperial court, such as Luo Yanqing, Tang Long, Zhang Bao and so on.

"No matter whether the imperial court will do this or not, we must go to support our brothers in Cangzhou!"

Liu Gao decided to let the facts speak for themselves.

So Liu Gao arranged for Yue Fei, Xu Ning, Hua Yueniang, Hu Sanniang, Qiu Qiongying, He Yuanqing, Luo Yanqing, Yu Hualong and other cavalry leaders to go ahead with him.

Zhang Bao and Wang Heng walk fast, so we can run after them.

Wu Song, Shi Xiu, and An Daoquan led 5,000 infantrymen in disguise, split into small groups, and then rushed over.

Yangzhou was handed over to Li Gang, Zhu Tong and others for management.

Since Lin Chong and Guan Sheng had already sent out their troops, Liu Gao and his men set out first that day.

……

Bazhou.

"Rumble...Rumble..."

The 3,000 cavalrymen of Cangzhou, led by Qin Ming, served as the vanguard, broke through the border defense line of the Liao Kingdom, and rushed to Bazhou, which was controlled by the Liao Kingdom, overnight.

Bazhou was originally the territory of the Song Dynasty, but is now guarded by Kangli Ding'an, the uncle of the Liao Dynasty.

There were also two assistant ministers assisting Kangli Ding'an, one was called Assistant Minister Jinfu and the other was called Assistant Minister Ye Qing.

To get to Bazhou, you must first pass Yijin Pass.

There are steep mountains on both sides of Yijin Pass, and only one post road in the middle.

Qin Ming was an impatient person by nature, and as a pioneer he became even more anxious as he wanted to be the first to succeed.

Lin Chong and Guan Sheng didn't want him to be the vanguard, but Qin Ming volunteered, so Lin Chong and Guan Sheng didn't want to discourage him...

"Master——"

A rider galloping towards them was Huang Xin, who was sent out by Qin Ming to serve as the vanguard.

Huang Xin rushed over, slowed down, turned his horse around, and just happened to be on par with Qin Ming:
"Master, Liao soldiers have entered Yijin Pass!"

Qin Ming frowned: "The Liao soldiers want to enter Yijin Pass. Why not at any other time? Why in the middle of the night?"

With Qin Ming's intelligence, he is only responsible for asking questions.

Huang Xin's brain is much more flexible than his master's.

In the original novel, it was Huang Xin who came up with a strategy to capture Hua Rong alive.

Huang Xin had been thinking all the way here, and when Qin Ming asked him, he answered immediately:

“Either the Liao soldiers were urgently mobilized and in a hurry!
"Either the Liao soldiers are secretly mobilizing and don't want others to notice!"

Qin Ming suddenly realized: "I think it's both!
"The Liao dogs are gathering in secret and are about to attack Song from the south!"

Huang Xin asked: "Master, what should we do then?"

"Kill it!"

Qin Ming said decisively:
“Yijin Pass is easy to defend but difficult to attack, I was still thinking about how to break through it!

"This is perfect now. We can take advantage of the Liao dog entering the pass, kill him by surprise, and seize the pass directly!"

Huang Xin advised him: "Master, we only have 3,000 cavalry.

“The Liao army has many soldiers and generals, but I’m afraid we’ll be outnumbered.

"Why not wait for Generals Lin and Guan..."

"Afraid of a bird!"

Qin Ming cursed:

"We came in a hurry and Liaogou was unprepared. Now is the perfect time to seize the pass!
"I have the courage of ten thousand men, I have killed tens of thousands of Liao dogs, what's the use of fearing his numerous soldiers and generals?
"Hurry up, if it's too late they might have already entered the customs!"
