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

Chapter 946 Zhao Gou: Liu Qing, can you understand me? [2 more]

"what?"

When Hua Rong returned to his mansion, he saw Liu Gao who had been waiting there.

After Liu Gao told Hua Rong the whole truth, Hua Rong became furious:

"Zhao Gou is actually a beast who killed his father!"

"Not bad!"

Liu Gao said with a gloomy face:

"He lied to me and said he wanted to force the emperor to abdicate, so I sent Li Shishi here for him.

"Who would have thought that he would actually commit patricide..."

"He is not worthy of being emperor!"

Hua Rong gritted his teeth:

"Brother, why don't we expose his true face!
"Then my eldest brother will be the emperor!"

"Not urgent."

Liu Gao waved his hand:

"Zhao Gou is incompetent, but he can stabilize the situation to the greatest extent as emperor.

"It buys us time to conquer the world.

“Now our Han country has 31 prefectures and cities: Daming Prefecture, Kaifeng Prefecture, Jizhou, Cangzhou, Hejian Prefecture, Yongjing Army, Jizhou, Enzhou, Dezhou, Dizhou, Binzhou, Qingzhou, Zibo Prefecture, Qizhou, Yunzhou, Dongchang Prefecture, Dongping Prefecture, Gunzhou, Yizhou, Mizhou, Weizhou, Laizhou, Dengzhou, Xuzhou, Shanzhou, Jizhou, Guangji Army, Huaiyang Army, Xingren Prefecture, Bozhou, and Kaide Prefecture;
"The Hebei Army has ten prefectures: Taiyuan Prefecture, Gaizhou, Jinning Prefecture, Zhaode Prefecture, Fenyang Prefecture, Weisheng Prefecture, Suizhou, Cizhou, Liaozhou, and Pingdingjun;

"The Jiangnan Army has eleven prefectures and cities: Suzhou, Runzhou, Changzhou, Xiuzhou, Hangzhou, Yuezhou, Taizhou, Jiangning Prefecture, Taiping Prefecture, Hezhou, and Wuwei Army;
"The Huaixi Army has seven prefectures: Jingnan Prefecture, Yuezhou, Ezhou, Tanzhou, Hengzhou, Shannan Prefecture, and Yun'an Army.

“In addition, there are Yangzhou, which is actually under my control, and the seven states of Huzhou, Xuanzhou, Shezhou, Muzhou, Quzhou, Xinzhou, and Chizhou in the south.

“There are sixty-seven state capitals in total.

“But the Song Dynasty has more than 300 prefectures, and we haven’t taken over enough.

"When we occupy half of the Song Dynasty, it won't be too late to capture Zhao Gou then."

Hua Rong nodded: "Brother, I understand."

"Eighth brother, I'm sorry for wronging you."

Liu Gao put his arm around Hua Rong's shoulders and said apologetically:
“You have to stay in Xijing and develop your military power.

"Tell me what you need. I will fully support you and let you take control of the military power of the Song Dynasty."

"Brother, don't worry!"

Hua Rong said solemnly: "All the affairs of the court are in my hands!"

Liu Gao patted Hua Rong on the shoulder and thought for a moment:

"I'll let Hu Yanzhuo come to help you, you can do whatever you want."

Hua Rong knew how powerful Hu Yanzhuo was, and said with a smile:
"It would be best if Hu Yanzhuo came and could fight me!
"Zhao Gou will definitely make use of him!"

Liu Gao smiled. He found that Hua Rong had made a lot of progress. He didn't need to say much, Hua Rong understood what he meant.

It seems that Hua Rong's appointment as the commander-in-chief of the palace and the prince's guardian was not only due to his command of a large number of troops.

[Name: Hua Rong]

【Friendship: Friendship of Life and Death】

[Talent: Sharp eyes, infinite strength]

[Skills: Platinum Cavalry, Keep an eye on all directions and listen carefully, Shoot an arrow through a hundred steps, Shoot with both hands, One rider is worth a thousand]

【Commander: 86】

【Force: 99】

【Intelligence: 75】

【Charm: 90】

Liu Gao took a look at Hua Rong's attribute panel:
Good guy!
So much improvement in all aspects!
Liu Gao thought about it and realized that Hua Rong’s promotion was very small when he was in Qingfeng Village. It was only after he became the military commander of Qingzhou that his promotion became greater.

Later, Hua Rong became the commander of the Xijing Command and the commander-in-chief of the Palace Guard. Liu Gao never looked at his attribute panel.

Now it seems that the higher the position, the greater the promotion.

In other words, the heavier Hua Rong's burden, the broader his vision, the more experience he has, and the greater his improvement.

The former Wu Zhizhai of Qingfeng Village has now grown into a general who can stand on his own!
That night Liu Gao stayed at Hua Rong's mansion, sleeping with Hua Rong side by side, and did not leave the city until early the next morning.

After meeting Wu Song at a wild inn, Liu Gao met Shi Quan, Zhao Yun, Zhou Qing, Liang Xing and Ji Qing, who were all in the same martial arts examination as Yue Fei in the original novel.

Because Yue Fei challenged the young King of Liang with his spear, Zhang Bangchang ordered Yue Fei to be tied up and beheaded. All the martial arts candidates rebelled, rescued Yue Fei, and then dispersed.

Shi Quan, Zhao Yun, Zhou Qing, Liang Xing and Ji Qing were short of money and had no family, so they wanted to go to Yue Fei for help.

As a result, he encountered a group of thieves blocking his way in Hongluo Mountain. He killed the leader of the thieves and became a bandit in Hongluo Mountain.

Later they were recruited by Yue Fei and became generals of Yue's Army.

Unexpectedly, the butterfly effect led to the five of them being recruited by Zhao Gou and assassinating Song Huizong for him.

After Liu Gao asked, Ji Qing said angrily:

"Prince Guangping told us that the emperor returned from the Jin Dynasty by selling out his country and his people!
"Prince Guangping wants to kill his own relatives for the sake of justice, but as a son he cannot do it, so he can only ask us loyal and righteous people to assassinate the emperor and rid the country of harm!
"He also said that he would withdraw all the imperial guards so that we could leave safely after assassinating the emperor!

"But he lied to us!"

Shi Quan gritted his teeth and said, "The Prince of Guangping wants to use us to kill the emperor and then silence us!"

"You are all heroes!"

Liu Gao held up a bowl of wine and said, "I toast to you!"

Shi Quan, Ji Qing and the other four stood up immediately, holding up their wine bowls with both hands to show respect:

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

[Shi Quan's favorability +100! ]

[Congratulations to the host and Shi Quan for becoming “casual friends”! ]

[Ji Qing's favorability +100! ]

[Congratulations to the master and Ji Qing for becoming “casual friends”! ]

……

It is worthy of the "a bowl of wine for a friendship of life and death" system. After drinking, the five people became casual friends with Liu Gao.

"Brother, I have already talked to them."

Wu Song said cheerfully, "They are willing to join us."

After Wu Song finished speaking, the five candidates bowed to Liu Gao together:

"Thank you for taking us in, Your Highness. We are willing to die for you!"

Liu Gao gained another wave of favorability.

Liu Gao helped them up one by one and gave them some words of encouragement, and thus they all became "friends of moral obligation."

Liu Gao gave them a badge and asked them to go to Tokyo first and listen to Lu Junyi's arrangements.

As for Liu Gao himself, of course he returned to Xijing.

"Your Highness, I am late!"

Liu Gao met Zhao Gou with a sad face:

"I didn't expect so many things to happen in the past two days. Your Highness must be frightened!"

"Thank you for your hard work, Minister Liu!"

Zhao Gou frowned and asked indifferently:

"Minister Liu, where is Li Shishi?"

Liu Gao: “Dead!”

Zhao Gou: "Dead?"

Liu Gao: "Li Shishi was originally weak, and she was frightened when Tokyo fell, and died on the way..."

Zhao Gou sighed and said nothing.

Anyway, the job has been done, Li Shishi is no longer important.

"Your Highness, the country cannot be without a ruler for a day!"

Liu Gao decisively showed his buttocks:
"I believe that Your Highness should inherit the throne in order to maintain peace in the world!"

Zhao Gou nodded with satisfaction and sighed:

"I don't really want to inherit the throne, I just want to be in my father's arms!
"But now that things have come to this, for the sake of the people, I have no choice but to take up this responsibility!

"Liu Qing, can you understand me?"
