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

Chapter 908 Zhang Shuye: I have little education, so don't lie to me! [3 more]

Square-faced man with big ears and black-faced man with small ears were also tied up, and the battle in Jiangning Prefecture was completely over.

Guan Sheng dismounted, walked to Zhang Shuye, grabbed the rope, and broke it with a force of his fingers.

Looking down at Zhang Shuye, Guan Sheng sighed:
"Zhang Zhifu, we meet again."

Zhang Shuye was also very sad: "General Guan, can I have a word with you?"

Guan Sheng waved his hand.

Everyone stepped back ten steps, leaving a circle for Guan Sheng and Zhang Shuye.

Zhang Shuye lowered his voice and asked:
"General Guan, please tell me the truth. Is the Southern Kingdom a clone of the Yan Kingdom?"

Guan Sheng narrowed his eyes: "You know?"

"Who in the world doesn't know that General Guan is the brother of the King of Yan?

"General Guan went by the pseudonym Guan Da Dao in the South Country. He may be able to fool people who have never seen General Guan, but how can he fool me?"

Zhang Shuye smiled bitterly and shook his head:
"I have already guessed it, but I dare not tell them, lest they be afraid of fighting..."

This is not an exaggeration by Zhang Shuye. The Yan army defeated the Liao army, the Jin army, and the Song army one after another.

The reputation of "Yan soldiers are good at fighting" has spread throughout the world.

So even if Zhang Shuye had guessed it long ago, he could only pretend to be stupid.

It's pointless to pretend now. Zhang Shuye sighed:

"General Guan, the King of Yan already dominates one side, isn't that enough?"

Guan Sheng sneered: "Does Magistrate Zhang think that my elder brother's goal is to dominate the area?"

Zhang Shuye emphasized:
"The Song Dynasty is just sick, not dead!

"As long as we are loyal ministers here, the King of Yan should give up his plan to seize the Song Dynasty!"

"you are wrong!"

Guan Sheng shook his head:

"My eldest brother's goal is not the whole country, but the people of the world to live and work in peace and contentment!"

I have little education, so don't lie to me!
Zhang Shuye: “Haha.”

Guan Sheng's red face darkened:

"Otherwise, why didn't my elder brother take Tokyo and kill the emperor that day?"

Zhang Shuye's expression changed: "He dares?"

"Why don't you dare?"

Guan Sheng sneered:
“Perhaps you don’t know yet, but my elder brother defeated 100,000 Liao soldiers in Liao State first!

"We beat the Liao princess to come and marry her!

"The current Empress Tianshou of Liao is a concubine of my eldest brother!
"My eldest brother even defeated 500,000 Jin soldiers!
"The Jin Dynasty's eldest crown prince Nianhan and his son Jindanzi both died at the hands of my eldest brother!

"If they dared to kill the crown prince of the Jin Dynasty, why wouldn't they dare to kill the emperor of the Song Dynasty?"

Zhang Shuye's face changed constantly when he heard this, sometimes white, sometimes black, sometimes red, sometimes green...

After Guan Sheng finished speaking, Zhang Shuye couldn't help but confirm again:
"General Guan, are you serious?"

Guan Sheng snorted coldly: "Why would I joke with you?"

Zhang Shuye was stunned for a moment: "Then why..."

"For the people of the world!"

Guan Sheng recalled Liu Gao's words that day, and a flame seemed to burn in his chest:
"My eldest brother told us that it is not difficult to capture Tokyo, and it is not difficult to dethrone the emperor!

"The difficulty is that the more than 300 states and prefectures of the Song Dynasty have fallen apart...

“I don’t know how many will be crowned emperors and how many will be crowned kings.

"When the heroes are fighting for supremacy in the Central Plains, if Jin Gou takes the opportunity to march south, our beautiful land will inevitably be littered with corpses, rivers of blood, thousands of miles of barren land, and countless lives will be lost!
"I have become a sinner in this world..."

Zhang Shuye was dumbfounded and remained in a daze for a long while before he asked:
"Did the King of Yan really say that?"

Guan Sheng frowned, and Zhang Shuye said quickly:

"It's not that I don't believe it, it's just too unbelievable..."

Even the emperor of the Song Dynasty didn't care about the lives of the people, but a rebel actually cared. Isn't this rebellion? After saying so much, Guan Sheng finally opened the map of Yan State:
"Zhang Zhifu, I know you are a capable official!

"My eldest brother has great ambitions. He wants peace and prosperity for the country and the people, and he also wants to seal the Wolf's Lair!
“We are all rough people, and many times we can’t help him even if we want to.

"Zhang Zhifu, can you help my elder brother?"

"Ah this..."

Zhang Shuye's heart really beat fast at that moment. If someone else had said this, he would have really thought about it.

But Guan Sheng, such a proud man, actually put aside his pride in order to recruit King Yan...

You can imagine how charming the King of Yan is!

Although Zhang Shuye had not met Prince of Yan yet, the shadow of Prince of Yan could be seen in Guan Sheng.

"…I will be loyal to my master and eat his salary!"

Zhang Shuye hesitated for a moment, but still stuck to his original intention:
"The emperor is in power, I'm sorry, Zhang Shuye can't obey your orders!"

"That's fine."

Guan Sheng shook his head and stroked his beard:

"Zhang Zhifu, I'm sorry."

Zhang Shuye bowed to Guan Sheng, then turned resolutely and walked towards the Yan soldiers who had tied him up.

The Yan soldiers looked at Guan Sheng, who nodded. Then they tied up Zhang Shuye again.

Zhang Shuye was taken away.

Walking on the road leading to the prison, Zhang Shuye took special precautions and found that all those lying in a pool of blood were government soldiers.

The Yan army, disguised as the Southern army, was very disciplined, and Zhang Shuye didn't even notice that anyone had broken into a private house.

Of course, all the houses had their doors closed, but the problem was that even the gates of Jiangning Prefecture could not stop the Yan army!
Who can be stopped by the door of a private house?
However, the doors of every house were neatly closed, without even a footprint...

Although there were many traces of fighting in the city, it was not messy at all, but rather well-organized.

Zhang Shuye was in a complicated mood.

He had led troops and fought in wars, and he knew how difficult it was to do this.

If this was the regular army of Yan State, it would be fine, but it was a detachment from Jiangnan...

Compared with the Song Dynasty's garrison troops, no, even the imperial guards stationed in the capital couldn't do it!
Thinking back to Guan Sheng's words to persuade him to surrender, Zhang Shuye sighed and walked towards the prison with a heavy heart...

Tang Bin and Li Jun had naturally been rescued. When they saw Zhang Shuye coming, they pointed at him and laughed.

Zhang Shuye walked past them in silence.

The winner becomes a king and the loser becomes a bandit. If you lose, you have to admit it.

Behind him are his two sons, Zhang Li with a square face and big ears, and Zhang Yong with a dark face and small ears.

Zhang Shuye originally thought that he and his family would never be able to get out of prison, but unexpectedly they were released soon.

They were taken to the feast.

In addition to Guan Sheng, Sun An, Lu Shinang and Huang Wenbing, there were a few other strangers at the banquet.

One of them, a pale-faced scholar wearing a silver mask, attracted his attention, and even made him ignore Han Shizhong who was also at the banquet...

As soon as Zhang Shuye saw the fair-faced scholar, he felt that he was extraordinary.

You have to know that Guan Sheng, Sun An, even the fat monk and the nine-foot tall man are all outstanding people, but in front of the pale-faced scholar, they all become foils.

After being stunned for two seconds, Zhang Shuye saluted the pale-faced scholar:
"Your humble servant Zhang Shuye pays respects to His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan!"

His two sons were not polite. Zhang Li and Zhang Yong asked excitedly:
"Are you Xiao Xuande from Shandong?"

The pale-faced scholar nodded and smiled.

Zhang Li said excitedly: "I heard that you are carrying Hebei on one shoulder and Shandong on the other?

"Pick one for me!"

Zhang Yong said happily: "I heard that you are so powerful in the martial arts world?

"Cover one for me to see!"

Liu Gao: (ー`ー)
